The St. Petersburg media was ecstatic by defeating Villarreal 2-0 at home, and they even began to consider Zenit's opponent in the quarterfinals.

According to the results of the previous draw, after winning the 16th final, Saint Petersburg Zenit entered the quarterfinals, and the opponent who played in the 16th final will be a winner between Marseille and Sparta Moscow.

If you play Sparta Moscow, St. Petersburg will be under no pressure every day because you are so familiar with it. Everyone knows the strength of this team and how it is in recent years.

Who are they, which players are the most threatening, and who are we can ignore. We all know these!

Besides, we only "double-killed" them last season in the competition for the league championship and the competition for the top scorer of the league. What's the point of fearing our first defeat?

What worries the St. Petersburg media is the French Ligue 1 team Marseille.

Although the current Ligue 1 overlord is Lyon, as a former overlord, Marseille's strength should not be underestimated.

One thing may prove that in the later Marseille home match against Moscow Sparta, Marseille easily defeated the top giants in the Russian Premier League 3-0, and was runner-up last season.

Sparta Moscow, which can dominate Russia, has no temper at all against Marseille and has no suspense to lose.

Now this Marseille team has formerly known French international Virtod (sylvain ·arfa), Dutch veteran Boude www.piaotian.coma), powerful goalkeeper steve mandanda, as well as midfielder Samir Nasri with a bright future, and forward Djibril Cisse, who was once kicked by Zheng Zhi...

Some of these players have been famous for a long time, while others are also considered dominant players in the Ligue 1 league.

The Marseille composed of these people is very meaningful to be revived.

When playing with this team, you have to be careful and careful. If you don’t pay attention, you may be done. Of course, the media in St. Petersburg do not want their team to become a stepping stone for the revival of the French Ligue 1 giants - whoever likes to do this thing, Zenit will not do it anyway.

Chen Yingxiong scored a beautiful and representative header against Villarreal, which made everyone very happy, but it was not the kind of ecstasy that he used to be. Especially Chinese journalists - they are now used to Chen Yingxiong scoring goals one by one.

At the beginning, after Chen Yingxiong scored in the domestic league, everyone was very excited, thinking that "it's too morale!" "Get face for the Chinese people!" "Play our country's power!" "Chinese football has hope!"

Such enthusiastic words often appear in the reports of the reporters, and readers naturally read them very happily. Then they feel that Chinese football is really hopeful! Chen Yingxiong is a great thing!

But when Chen Yingxiong scored goals one after another and scored goals in several rounds in a row, they went from being ecstatic at first to being very calm and happy - ah, he scored another goal, it was amazing!

That's all, there will be no boring thoughts like "God finally sent an arrogant guy to save Chinese football."

Just as the St. Petersburg media said: Chen Yingxiong’s goal is not news, but the news is not news.

Chinese media also feel that in China, people's blind admiration for Chen Yingxiong is gradually cooling down. In the past, everyone had a particularly good impression of this forward who could score goals, but as media reports deepened and many aspects of Chen Yingxiong became well-known, many people also changed their views. In China, there have been many people who cannot accept Chen Yingxiong's rules of conduct and maverick style. They gradually changed from liking Chen Yingxiong to those who hate him.

For example, I hate Chen Yingxiong frequently lingers in nightclubs, I hate Chen Yingxiong's arrogant words and deeds, and even feel disgusted by Chen Yingxiong's smug face and back tattoos, because this makes them think of street gangsters... Although tattoos have been very popular in China since ancient times, they have become a popular fashion in the Song Dynasty...

Some people even put such a big hat on Chen Yingxiong's head - "... He has almost all the bad habits and bad habits of Chinese football players we know and hate: going to bars, showing off wealth, scandals, tattoos, arrogance, low quality, lack of education, poor cultural level, alcoholism, prostitution... Now I don't know if he smokes, smokes, or takes drugs, or gamblings... I think it's almost the same, there's no difference between these three points. Can such a person be praised as the hope of Chinese football by some media? If the hope of Chinese football is placed on such a social scum, I think we should seriously consider the suggestion of canceling the football sport in China... Let such a person become the hope of the national football team? I can only be more desperate."

Of course, this article was written by Xie Liang... His clear dislike of Chen Yingxiong has strengthened many people who also dislike Chen Yingxiong - such a famous dislike Chen Yingxiong, which means that we are not that minority, and our ideas are quite marketable!

Chen Yingxiong's character extremes are also reflected in his supporters and disgusted people.

People like him so much that they like him. They can tolerate everything they do and think it is good. And those who hate him can't hate him. No matter what he does, they can find something worthy of darkness. Everyone can find topics from Chen Yingxiong. Whether they scold him or praise him, no one will have nothing to say.

However, Chen Yingxiong himself doesn't care about these things. He doesn't care about them in Russia. To be honest, he really doesn't care about his attitude towards him. He rarely goes online to see what fans think of himself. Unlike when he became famous before, he hopes to satisfy his vanity from the fans' reactions to him. Now he doesn't even buy newspapers - at the beginning, he had to buy every issue of newspapers, just to see how the media praised him and praised him. He could read the stingy articles with relish and complacent reading.

Now he doesn't do this because he doesn't care what the media thinks of him anymore. His status and glory do not need to be won by the media's praise. As long as he continues to score goals, he can get everything.

The second leg match against Villarreal is a week later on February 21, and Zenit will go away to challenge his opponent.

For Pellegrini, this is the last chance. They must turn the tables at home and win over two goals to have a chance to advance to the quarterfinals.

After losing the last time, Pellegrini had many excuses - the weather was bad, the temperature was too low, the field was too slippery, everyone was not in shape, the pressure on away games, etc...

What about this time? He has no excuses, but the pressure is even greater. Because the conditions are too good, you cannot lose. If you are stronger than Zenit, you should win! You must win too!

At the Love Song Stadium, the weather conditions that make me familiar with are also very good. Although it is a bit cold, for the yellow submarines that have experienced the coldness of St. Petersburg, it is already "warm" to zero or above five or six degrees. At home, fans must support themselves, and there is no saying that the away atmosphere is bad.

If this is the case, you can't win...you can die!

The murderous Villarreal welcomed the St. Petersburg Zenit, who once brought them humiliation at his home court.

They made careful preparations before the game, and Pellegrini also tried his best to inspire fighting spirit, and played the video of their away game 0:2 loss to St. Petersburg Zenit in order to inspire the players' shame and competitive spirit, and want them to complete the seemingly difficult revenge at home.

But the first goal was the visiting team Zenit...

"Andre Alshavin!! His beautiful long shot shattered the hearts of Villarreal fans!"

"St. Petersburg Zenit has already led 3:0 in the total score! This game basically lost suspense, but only thirty minutes have passed..."

"Look at Pellegrini's expression, it's like a dead father! You can still score two goals behind, but three goals behind? Al Shavin's goal gave Zenit fans a reassurance. If Villarreal wants to qualify, unless they win a 4:1 game, there will be no chance!"

The hope of winning 4:1 is slim. Even if there are many favorable factors at home, the gap between the strength of the two sides is not so big...

After conceding the ball, Villarreal took the lead and attacked the whole line. Zenit simply shrank and fought a defensive counterattack.

It was not until the 74th minute that Villarreal equalized the score by Mexican strikermo Franco. After the goal, the Mexican did not celebrate, and Villarreal's players did not celebrate. The cheers in the stands of the Love Song Stadium rang out briefly and quickly fell back.

The goal was scored only in 74 minutes, and many people felt a little cold--there was more than ten minutes left, even if the injury time had four minutes, it was only twenty minutes. Three goals were scored in one breath in twenty minutes, and the opponent had to not score... This was not an ordinary difficulty.

So after Franco scored, Hirgeevsky said happily: "I think there is no problem with Zenit entering the quarterfinals!"

This announcement after the opponent scored a goal shows how excited Sirgeevsky, the St. Petersburg narrator, is.

Villarreal scored the second goal by Thomas in the 89th minute, but it was useless. It was absolutely impossible for them to score two goals in the last five or six minutes.

Although the hope is slim, the end of this game was full of gunpowder.

Chen Yingxiong did not score in this game because the opponent's defensive moves were too big. Edvorkat was worried that Chen Yingxiong would be injured, so he simply replaced him when the overall situation was decided.

After the 80th minute, both sides moved more and more, and red and yellow cards flew everywhere.

But what made Edvorkat very dissatisfied was that these cards were all aimed at Zenit, St. Petersburg!

In the end, Roman Sirocov was sent off with two yellow cards, and Hill also received two yellow cards and was sent off with red cards. This made Edvocart furious off the court - his team advanced but lost two players. No one knows what impact this will have on the next round of knockouts.

In this game, Zenit received eight yellow cards and two red cards, and it was much more exciting to watch the data than to watch the game.

But no matter what, Zenit finally successfully passed the hurdle of the Spanish strong team Villarreal and entered the last 16 of the League Cup.

Chen Yingxiong scored a goal in the sixteenth final, and now he has three goals in the League Cup. He ranks sixth in the League Cup scorer list, not high. His hat-trick vow has not been fulfilled yet, and now he still has the opportunity to continue pursuing this goal.

Edvorkat was very dissatisfied with the referee's penalty after the game, but he didn't dare to say too much because he was afraid that he would be punished additionally - he was not someone like Mourinho.
Chapter completed!
