Chapter 207: It's Too Late (4600 Monthly Ticket Plus Update)
Zenit St. Petersburg defeated Bayern Munich 4-0 at home. The result of this game has not only attracted the attention of the media in two countries, Russia and Germany, but also the attention of the entire European continent.
The Bundesliga overlord Bayern Munich was beaten 0:4 away, such news is not often.
For the first time, the whole of Europe opened its eyes and carefully observed the Zenit St. Petersburg team, as well as Chen Yingxiong, who completed a hat-trick in the game...
If Chen Yingxiong's outstanding performance before proves that he has potential, then the hat-trick against Bayern Munich can show that he is the kind of player who can fight tough battles, and his performance against powerful opponents is not bad, which is enough to make many teams excited.
Some teams were interested in Chen Yingxiong before, but they were worried that this player was just a flash in the pan, or that he could only perform well in low-level leagues like the Russian League. Once he reached the top league, he would be in a sluggish state-we can’t blame those clubs for thinking like this. There are too many such precedents.
There are many players who have performed well in the lower leagues and small teams, but their performances in the top leagues and big teams have been disastrous. Such a player can only dominate a small team for a lifetime, and lose himself once he goes to a bigger stage. The performance of a UEFA Cup really can't explain anything.
The most typical one is the Serbian and Montenegro striker mateja_kezman who once became the top scorer in Eredivisie in Eindhoven. He scored 31 goals in one season in Eindhoven, becoming the player with the most goals in a single season in the history of the Eindhoven club. He also proved his ability in the European war and was the main scorer in the national team of Serbia and Montenegro. In the Eredivisie League, he played 122 times on behalf of Eindhoven and scored 105 goals. The goal rate is very terrifying, even surpassing his predecessor Ruud van Nistelrooy.
Once considered Ronaldo's favorite.
Just such an excellent shooter, after leaving the "small stages" such as Eindhoo and the Eredivisie, his state is sluggish, and he is getting worse day by day. Has been removed in the quasi-rich Chelsea, Atletico Madrid, Türkiye Fenerbahce. However, they were all unsatisfactory, and he could never regain the momentum he had in PSV Eindhoven.
It's not that if a striker is good at scoring goals, there will be countless giants scrambling to get him. First of all, it depends on the gold content of the striker's goals. It is not uncommon for you to score 38 goals in a season in the lower leagues. There are too many such things. Otherwise, why did UEFA set up the European Golden Boot according to the different league levels and stipulate that the conversion of goals in different leagues is not the same? The rules stipulate that each goal scored by the goal scorer counts as one point, and then the goal score is multiplied by the football coefficient of the league in the home country. This football coefficient is determined by UEFA based on the country's ranking in the three major European cups (now it is the ranking of the two major cups). The league scorer coefficient of the countries ranked 1st to 8th in UEFA is 2; the coefficient of league shooters in countries ranked 9th to 20th in UEFA is 1.5; Doing so avoids unspoken rules such as various favoritism and fraud in the small leagues in order to obtain the European Golden Boot. Guarantee the fairness and impartiality of the European Golden Boot Awards (Note: For the behind-the-scenes stories of the European Golden Boot Awards, you can Baidu the Encyclopedia of the European Golden Boot Awards by yourself, I will not use Baidu to make up the word count here).
This coefficient fully reflects the levels of different leagues, and also reflects the gold content of players' goals. If you score fifty goals in a season in the lower leagues, it doesn't prove that you can do the same in the upper leagues. Because there is a gap in the strength of opponents in the lower leagues, and the defensive level is really not high.
Now Spartak Moscow striker Pavlyuchenko has been flirting with the English team. There are rumors that he will join a certain Premier League team this summer. It is not because he has won the top scorer in the Russian League. The reason why the English team is interested in him is very simple. into the abyss. It was this game that made him famous throughout England. You must know that before that, no matter how many goals Pavlyuchenko scored in the Russian league, he was only a marginal figure of the Russian national team, a substitute. The order of strikers is still behind Zenit's Krzakov and Tomsk's Pogrebnyak...
Secondly, it depends on whether his personal characteristics and style are suitable for those clubs that are interested in him. Kežman moved to Chelsea because his personal characteristics did not match the characteristics of the team, and he was unable to integrate into the team for a long time.
In addition, it depends on the player's psychological quality and physical condition. If you buy it and get injured, it is better not to buy it. If the mental quality is not good, if you can't cope with the fierce confrontation of high-level leagues and the cruel competition within the big clubs, then even if you are a genius, you will not be able to perform.
Here is also a typical example. Former Sevilla player Reyes, after transferring to Arsenal, because of his inability to adapt to the climate in England and the pain of being away from home, he was still unable to integrate into Arsenal and eventually sank. One of the problems that Reyes has always been criticized by people is that his mental quality is not good enough. Another nickname for him is "Miangua", which fully demonstrates his "soft" characteristics...
Therefore, European teams are more cautious about Chen Yingxiong - he scored crazy goals in Zenit, but it does not mean that he can still score crazy goals in a different environment. What they saw was that the reason why this kid was able to score crazy goals in Zenit was related to the almost paranoid trust of Zenit coach Advocaat. Things like his going to bars and nightclubs will not affect his position as the main center forward in the team. If this matter is replaced by the head coaches of other European teams, how many of them can tolerate Chen Yingxiong doing this?
Even if the managers of those clubs like Chen Yingxiong and bought him. But the person who arranged for him to play was still the head coach after all. The head coach doesn't like him, he doesn't even have a chance to play, let alone score crazy goals.
Any player transfer is a gamble for both the player and the club. No one knows whether it will be better if you change the environment, and the club does not know whether the player can adapt to the new environment after being bought, whether he can win the trust of the head coach, whether he can get support from the locker room, and whether he can maintain his previous state.
The most indispensable thing in world football is those players whose transfers failed, and club managers who couldn't tell the pain of buying parallel imports.
However, these concerns were slightly alleviated after Zenit defeated Bayern Munich 4-0 at home.
What everyone saw was a shooter who could score three goals against a goalkeeper like Kahn, and a newborn calf who did not hesitate when competing for tickets to the final with Bayern Munich.
This at least shows that he has real talents and practical learning, and his psychological quality is justified.
With these two points, even if he transfers to other clubs, he has a foundation for success. The remaining question is how the head coach can make good use of him...
That's not something the players can decide.
So when Sasania suddenly received inquiries and quotations from many clubs to Chen Yingxiong, the feeling in my heart...it was really mixed.
You must know that the clubs that offer these offers are no longer those small teams that are not well-known, and many of them are first-class teams in the top leagues!
But now, Sasania couldn't be happy at all, he felt like crying—it was like guarding a treasure mountain, but he could only watch those shining treasures, but couldn't take one away from it.
Because, the club has already signed a transfer agreement with Naples for Chen Yingxiong!
In other words, he no longer has the right to decide where Chen Yingxiong goes or not...
No matter how valuable Chen Yingxiong is, he can't get a penny.
He really wanted to yell at those clubs: "Why didn't you fucking come sooner!!!"

Zenit eliminated Bayern Munich and advanced to the final. Apart from the Zenit fans, the happiest people were Naples owner Aurelio De Laurentiis and general manager Pierpaolo Marino.
Chen Yingxiong's outstanding performance against Bayern Munich made them happy.
Because they really dug up a treasure!
De Laurentiis was complacent about his vision. He doesn't interfere much in the team's internal affairs, but only once, and brought a striker who can fight and score goals for the team. Can he be proud?
What makes Marino happy is that although the total value of 15 million euros is a bit high, but following this momentum, he believes that Chen Yingxiong's worth will definitely exceed 20 million euros in the future, and go straight to 30 million euros.
Buying Chen Yingxiong is definitely tantamount to making another good deal that is sure to make a profit without losing money.
Naples and St. Petersburg have not announced the transfer of Chen Yingxiong before, because there is too little time. Just signed the contract with Chen Yingxiong, and the two semi-finals against Bayern Munich have begun. Originally, they planned to announce it after that, but looking at it now, it is really a perfect opportunity to announce it at this time.
Chen Yingxiong had just become famous, and they immediately announced that Chen Yingxiong already belonged to Naples... What a great hype!
The majority of fans and the media are still kept in the dark. They don't know that Chen Yingxiong has decided to transfer to Naples. Their news is a little behind. They only know that Chen Yingxiong is talking with Naples, but it is not clear what happened. There are even rumors that Chen Yingxiong rejected the contract offered by Naples because he was not satisfied with the salary.
On the contrary, Arshavin's transfer rumors, due to rushing for time, did not deliberately conceal the news, causing a disturbance in the city, and everyone knew about it.
On the second day of the game, while everyone was still discussing the game and Chen Yingxiong who performed a hat-trick, the Naples club announced the news on their official website.
"...We are very happy to announce that St. Petersburg's Zenit center Chen Yingxiong has signed a four-year transfer contract with the Naples club. He will officially become a member of Naples from July 1st..."
This is not a long press release, but it threw a huge stone in St. Petersburg, causing an uproar...
