Chapter 65: The sound of revenge!

Not long after Chen Yingxiong's shot, CSKA Moscow, the home team, broke the deadlock. In the 19th minute, they successfully stole the ball from the front court and launched a counterattack.

The final goal was scored by center forward Joao.

"CSKA Moscow is in the lead! They have fully utilized their home advantage! They are much more familiar with this field than Zenit!"

"Joao! Joao!! Beautiful goal! At the age of 19, he is already the main center forward of CSKA Moscow!"

"What a beautiful goal!!"

The commentators cheered.

In the media seats, local reporters from Moscow also clenched their fists and shouted excitedly.

Although the super teams within Moscow were always fighting each other, everyone still showed unity in the face of foreign enemies.

At present, the only foreign enemy that could make the Moscow team cheer together and take it seriously was, of course, Zenit.

As the only team from Russia's second-largest city, Zenit could even be said to represent all the super teams outside of Moscow. So this game was quite symbolic.

At the same time, there had always been a feud between the two cities of St. Petersburg and Moscow.

Many Russians had always believed that St. Petersburg was not a Russian city, and this was not a minority view. Moscow was the center of the Russian people, but St. Petersburg? It was a foreign city in terms of culture.

The dispute over the status of these two cities would naturally be reflected on the football field.

So every match between Zenit St. Petersburg and the Moscow teams attracted a lot of attention.

When seeing CSKA Moscow score a goal and take the lead, many reporters in St. Petersburg were silent at first.

It was not surprising to let the other team score a goal in their home stadium, but it was still a troublesome thing for the team that was behind.

After a moment of silence, a reporter from St. Petersburg began to complain. "I really don't understand why Advocaat continues to trust this guy!"

"Hero's headers are excellent, but now it is clear that his characteristics have been thoroughly studied, so... why not use Panov? Otherwise, what is the point of buying him?"

"Actually, as a tactical center... the hero is not completely useless... it's just that with this weather and the field, we can't take advantage of the ground..."

At the end, the group of people could only shake their heads and sigh.

This match was really bad for Zenit, playing away from home and encountering such bad weather. In addition, the main striker Tekke had just returned from injury, played a game and got injured again...

These unfavorable factors combined made it impossible to see any hope of winning. Now Zenit reporters just wanted to get a point away from home.

Chen Yingxiong didn't believe in evil, and although he hit the plane with his long shot, he still tried to do more. Since headers wouldn't work anyway, he might as well use long shots to open up the situation.

So he took the opportunity to shoot again. The result was the same as previously, this time the shot was high on its own, no slipping necessary…

The jeers from the stands were very clear.

Woo woo woo…

Chen Yingxiong didn't understand what that meant, he just knew that the home team fans were booing him. These things could happen on any court, it was no big deal.

But Kerzakov next to him frowned.

Chen Yingxiong didn't hear it, but Kerzakov knew what it meant.

This kind of sound meant racial discrimination.

CSKA Moscow fans were imitating monkey calls.

They regarded all people with different skin colors from their own as monkeys, so Chen Yingxiong was naturally a "yellow-skinned monkey".

In Russia, discrimination against foreign races was quite common. For example, the Brazilian black center forward Joao who scored the goal just now was once splashed with a cup of coffee by a local in Moscow when he went to McDonald's with his wife. As a yellow man, Chen Yingxiong would naturally receive a similar kind of treatment.

Kerzakov found it hard to accept that this was happening to his friend.

Chen Yingxiong noticed that Kerzakov frowned, and out of basic concern he asked, "What's wrong?"

"Uh..." Kerzakov hesitated whether to tell Chen Yingxiong what the sound meant.

Some St. Petersburg reporters in the media seats also frowned after hearing these voices.

They also knew what this meant.

To be honest, it was very bad behavior to keep targeting a player on the football field and make such noises. The reporters in St. Petersburg didn't understand why the fans of CSKA Moscow treated Chen Yingxiong like this. So far, Chen Yingxiong had not done anything out of line... Although he slapped these reporters in St. Petersburg before, once they left St. Petersburg and came to Moscow, everyone had to stand together - if you dared to be rude to our Zenit players, we will be rude to you too!

Some reporters were already planning to write articles criticizing Moscow after the game. How could they tolerate racial discrimination appearing so openly on the court?

Of course, at this time they all automatically blocked the racial discrimination of St. Petersburg fans against other black players… It's only bad when other people do it…

Kerzakov thought about it, but still didn't tell Chen Yingxiong the meaning of the voice. He felt that it was not a good thing, and Chen Yingxiong would definitely not feel happy after hearing it. So why bother telling him? Wouldn't it affect his mood and state?

"Uh, nothing." Kerzakov shook his head and ran away.

Chen Yingxiong looked at his back in confusion.

In the following games, whenever Chen Yingxiong got the ball, there would be screeching sounds mocking him.

This sound even caused dissatisfaction among commentator Yuri Petrov. "This is too much. I think every Russian knows what this sound means! Maybe only the hero doesn't know..."

Petrov suddenly had a little affection for this big guy, perhaps because he "sympathized with the weak"...

Little did he know that Chen Yingxiong didn't need "sympathy" at all.

Chen Yingxiong was no fool. He quickly discovered what the "wooowoowoo" sound meant.

After he competed for the header with Berezutsky in front of the goal, he landed and saw the CSKA Moscow fans at the back of the stadium. They were pouting and making monkeys sounds, while beating their chests with their hands, imitating the movements as well.

He immediately understood what the voices meant...

They were saying he was a monkey!

This was racial discrimination!

This was the legendary racial discrimination!

I didn't expect to see it myself!

Fuck you!

Chen Yingxiong cursed in his heart.

You asked for this!

Chen Yingxiong worked harder than anyone else to find scoring opportunities. He kept attacking CSKA Moscow's back line and putting pressure on CSKA's defenders.

Now his body was his greatest weapon, and he had to use it to the fullest.

But he was not as stupid as everyone obviously thought.

After continuously attacking CSKA Moscow's defense and putting pressure on their defenders, CSKA Moscow's defense line obviously shrank into the penalty area, trying to prevent Chen Yingxiong from heading the ball in the area closest to the goal.

So when the game reached the 38th minute, Zenit St. Petersburg got a chance to attack.

As everyone knew, Arshavin made a one-two combination with Radimov on the wing, and after breaking through the wing, he prepared to cross the ball.

Generally speaking, at this time Chen Yingxiong would definitely rush into the penalty area with his arms raised and fight to the death with the defender who dared to stop him.

But this time, when Ignashevich, Berezutsky, and others were ready to jump up and fight to the death with Chen Yingxiong in the air, they found that they had no opponent!

Kerzakov was in front of the goal, but why did a striker who was only 1.75 meters tall, not good at heading and with average jumping ability need the CSKA's "national team level" defense line to be so serious and give it their all?

Everyone turned their eyes to the absent player. Even the commentator Yuri Petrov was surprised. "Arshavin made a cross in front of the goal... uh, Hero is missing!"

So where was he?

Chen Yingxiong was standing outside the penalty area. He raised his hand!

"He's asking for the ball!" Petrov shouted.

Asking for the ball outside the penalty area? Was he planning to head the ball directly from outside the penalty area?

"He must be... crazy..." On the sidelines, Latish was also surprised when he saw this scene.

When Arshavin turned his head and saw Chen Yingxiong raising his arm, he was also stunned.

But he didn't hesitate too long and passed the ball immediately.

The moment Arshavin passed the ball, Kerzakov suddenly moved forward and got to the front, while Chen Yingxiong still stayed outside the penalty area.

And the football...didn't fly straight to the goal, but instead drew an arc and turned outside the penalty area!

Arshavin really passed the ball to Chen Yingxiong!

This was the opportunity he had been waiting for!

"Is he going to shoot directly?" someone in the media seats in the stands asked this question.

No one answered him, because everyone was concentrating on watching the court, paying close attention to what might happen next.

The football flew very fast and came in front of Chen Yingxiong in an instant.

Chen Yingxiong jumped up, but he didn't head the ball. Instead, he stopped the ball with his chest!

Seeing this move, many people who were expecting it before were disappointed - they were still hoping to see a beautiful world wave... who would have thought that he would stop the ball with his chest?

"Hero... stopped the ball! He has lost the chance to shoot now!" Petrov also said regretfully.

Chen Yingxiong indeed missed the best time to shoot, because when he stopped the ball, a CSKA Moscow player immediately rushed over from behind him.

He had been targeted.

What to do when facing close defense?

Some people chose to pass the ball, some chose to kick it hastily, and some simply got lost and had the ball intercepted...

Chen Yingxiong chose - a head-on confrontation!

The one rushing up from behind him was the Bosnian midfielder, Elvir Rahimic, who was 1.91 meters tall and was also physically strong and good at confrontation.

He rushed directly towards Chen Yingxiong, hoping to use his body to interfere with his shot.

The football was falling from chest height.

Chen Yingxiong did not try to control the ball further, but instead put his arms together to protect the football in front of him, and then directly... stuck his butt out backwards!

Rasimich, who pounced on Chen Yingxiong, was knocked away by Chen Yingxiong's butt!

Everyone only saw Rasimich pounce forward, and then be bounced back... Then Chen Yingxiong swung his right leg!

After pushing Rasimich away, Chen Yingxiong now had no CSKA player around him. He swung his right leg, and at the same time the football fell to the right height!

Chen Yingxiong kicked!

When his foot touched the football, some people even saw a flash of light, which was fleeting.

Immediately afterward, the football was like a missile, accelerating forward from complete stop and flying towards the goal!

The snowflakes in the sky seemed to be frightened by the energy generated by the shot. They fled in fear.

Akinfeev obviously underestimated the power of Chen Yingxiong's shot. When he saw the football flying over and made a save... it was too late!

The football whizzed past his hand, changed direction slightly, and bounced into the net...

The "wooo wooo" sound that had been heard since Chen Yingxiong caught the ball suddenly stopped at this moment!
