Chapter 173 A Miracle is Born! (Bonus chapter for 3600 monthly tickets)

When Chen Yingxiong blasted the football into Marseille's goal, Petrovsky Stadium erupted into madness.

Everyone's rear end left their seat, as if a rocket had been inserted, and they jumped up.

They raised their arms high, opened their mouths wide, and then released their voices from their dantian, from the bottom of their hearts, from their throats.

"U—ra—!!"

At the moment this sound burst out, no other sound could be heard, did not exist, in the huge Petrovsky Stadium.

Hilgayevski stood up from the commentary box, holding his headphones in one hand and his microphone in the other, shouting hoarsely: "Miracle! Miracle! A miracle is born!!"

Many years later, those Zenit Saint Petersburg fans would still remember the passionate outburst of this local Saint Petersburg TV commentator, and this sentence was considered a classic in the history of Russian football commentary by many.

Amidst the huge cheers, Chen Yingxiong pushed away Tavoy, another defender blocking him, and rushed towards the stands where Zenit Saint Petersburg fans were most concentrated.

Petrovsky Stadium is not a professional football stadium, but a comprehensive stadium, with a running track. There is a row of billboards between the field and the stands.

The excited Chen Yingxiong jumped directly onto the billboard and stood on it! He raised his hands high and roared to the sky!

His teammates rushed up from behind, even goalkeeper Malafeev ran across the entire field to participate in the celebration.

No one knows who did it first, making a gesture of raising their hands and bowing down, and then the other teammates followed suit, forming a circle and worshiping Chen Yingxiong, who was standing on the billboard, high above!

This action quickly spread throughout the stadium, and all the Zenit Saint Petersburg fans were making this gesture of worship.

Even some of the local Saint Petersburg media were doing it.

The Chinese reporters looked blankly at the Russian colleagues around them who were worshiping Chen Yingxiong just like ordinary fans, and were a little at a loss—this, this is such a high-level treatment!

※※※

After the initial meaningless roars, the entire stadium resounded with a unified shout.

"Hero! Hero! Hero—!!"

The fans chanted their idol's name in unison while making a gesture of worship. At this moment, Chen Yingxiong was the only protagonist of this stadium, the huge stage spotlight only shrouded him, and everything around him fell into darkness. Everyone only focused their eyes on him, looking at the giant bear standing on the billboard with his legs apart, raising his arms, and roaring to the sky!

At this moment, no one's image was taller than his.

Want a miracle? Don't pray to God, bow down to this giant bear in front of you!

※※※

"Yes! Yes! A miracle has been born before our very eyes! Before the game, many media were saying that if Zenit wanted to advance, they would have to pray for a miracle. But now the miracle has come! Chen Yingxiong scored twice in the game, and his two goals pulled Zenit from hell to heaven, and at the same time, he didn't forget to kick Marseille off the cloud!" Hilgayevski's passion was like a raging flame, getting stronger and stronger.

The French commentators were watching the replay of the goal with constant exclamations: "How did he do it? My God! Oh God! He can actually do this! It's incredible! Truly incredible!"

What surprised him was Chen Yingxiong's turning and volleying motion while dragging Sana. Being able to turn and volley with a person hanging on him and shoot the football in made the French commentator feel unbelievable no matter how he thought about it.

But this scene did happen before his eyes, so he had to believe it.

He was not the only one surprised. Many media reporters were shocked after seeing the replay of the goal.

The difficulty of completing a turn and volley with a person hanging on him was of course clear to these veteran reporters who often covered football games. Vieri once sprinted with two defenders hanging on him in the World Cup, and that scene was regarded as a classic. Unexpectedly, Chen Yingxiong replayed it for them before their eyes. It is difficult to compare which is more difficult, carrying two people to charge forward or carrying one person to turn and hit the target, but both have a soul-stirring impact, causing everyone to see this scene. At that time, I couldn't help but feel my heart beating wildly for a while.

Only Hilgayevski was not shocked, because...

"This is the power of the Northern Bear! Please remember, he is not human, he is a bear! Don't measure him by human standards! He is a giant bear from the north! His roar can be heard throughout Saint Petersburg—"

※※※

Loric Sana was lying on the ground. After Chen Yingxiong threw him to the ground, he didn't get up. He knew the football had gone into the goal. Just listen to the huge cheers. Now their team is in desperate situation, the aggregate score is tied, and Zenit still has an away goal, and there is very little time left in the game.

But these are not what Sana is considering now.

He sat up, looking at the arrogant figure being worshiped by his teammates. He raised his hands and looked up at the sky.

He simply couldn't recall what had just happened—this person completed the difficult move of turning and shooting with himself hanging on him, and even more difficult was that he actually scored!

He didn't see how Chen Yingxiong shot the football into the goal, but that's not important. The important thing is that he hung his whole body on the opponent, but he failed to stop him. Sana, who is 1.86 meters tall and weighs 86 kilograms, is naturally not weak.

It is not easy for a person to complete the action of turning and shooting while carrying a burden of 86 kilograms, not to mention that this "burden" will also twist and interfere with him, pulling his center of gravity so he cannot stabilize. If the center of gravity is unstable, the shot will be inaccurate...

But he withstood these tests and blasted the football into the goal. He thought of Marseille's goal in the first leg. He fell to the ground and made a scissor kick, but he couldn't shake this person at all. He was also lying on the ground, watching the opponent score the football into the goal, giving Zenit a valuable away goal...

This guy's body is really strong! Those two legs are especially powerful!

This is the conclusion Sana came to.

Marseille's killing machine, which is invincible on the French arena, finally ran into a tough bone, but it's not his fault, because he is a "killing machine", not a "bear killing machine"...

※※※

After Chen Yingxiong jumped off the billboard, he hugged his teammates, and then everyone surrounded him and ran back to the half. The shouts about him in the stands continued.

His two goals brought Zenit back to life and put Marseille in a very difficult situation.

Gerets was ashen-faced, while Advocaat's entire face was flushed with excitement.

The Dutchman was happy not because Zenit had a great chance of advancing to the top eight, but because... he saw an increasingly comprehensive and more powerful Chen Yingxiong in this game!

He has excellent headers, super long shots, terrifying physical fitness, and the ability to turn and shoot!

Such Chen Yingxiong is an important guarantee for Zenit to go further and further in the UEFA Cup. Advocaat was excited because he thought of Zenit's bright future.

※※※

The restart of the game failed to dilute the狂热atmosphere of Petrovsky Stadium. Every time Zenit players got the ball, they would win the home fans' unreserved cheers and applause.

And every time Marseille players got the ball, they would "win" ruthless boos and roars.

Under such an atmosphere, Marseille originally said they would fight to the death. Who would have thought that they couldn't find their rhythm and state at all.

Zenit, on the other hand, became more and more relaxed and energetic after taking the upper hand.

Just like the game in the previous round, except that the roles of the two sides were reversed this time.

Marseille also experienced the feeling that Zenit experienced at their home stadium...

Zenit Saint Petersburg fans are obviously very vengeful. They kept shouting in the stands: "You have today too! How do you feel now?! Say it! How do you feel?!"

Of course they would not get an answer from Marseille, but they didn't care. They just wanted to take this opportunity to ridicule Marseille, who was arrogant before the game.

In the media box, the French reporters were also silent at this time, no longer discussing meaningless topics such as who Marseille's next opponent would be.

They don't even know if Marseille can enter the next round...

This time it was the turn of the Saint Petersburg and Chinese reporters to discuss with great interest which team Zenit Saint Petersburg would meet in the quarter-finals...

※※※

Marseille now wanted to counterattack and score goals, but they could never attack. They then realized that it was not that they didn't want to, but that they couldn't—previously, Marseille's players always thought that as long as they wanted to, they could immediately rush into Zenit's penalty area and start killing. The reason why they didn't do so was because they were unwilling to do so. They could continue to drag the score until the end of the game. And if necessary, they can turn into cold-blooded killers who take Zenit's life at any time.

Now the cruel reality tells them that all this is fantasy. The fact is that they can't speed up at all. It is not easy to get an offensive opportunity, and there are very few people who can participate in time. why?

Because Chen Yingxiong, like a nail, is firmly nailed in their penalty area!

He is like the character he played in World of Warcraft - an mt (main tank) with thick skin and taunt face, attracting all hatred and monsters to himself.

Marseille's defenders now dare not casually insert themselves into the attack, for fear of losing someone in the defense and not being able to withstand Chen Yingxiong's impact and losing the ball again.

But if they don't attack, Marseille will definitely be eliminated, and if they attack, they are afraid of being scored...

In such a dilemma, the game came to the final moment.

The entire Petrovsky Stadium was full of cheers and songs. The Marseille players had long been silent. They were completely suppressed, and some Marseille fans even had shining tear stains on their faces.

The Zenit players stood on the sidelines, shoulder to shoulder and arm in arm, with joyful expressions on everyone's faces. They were just waiting for the referee's final whistle to rush into the game field and celebrate with their teammates.

The fans in the stands also stood up, and no one could sit still in their seats. A joyful and excited atmosphere spread throughout the stadium.

The referee did not let this moment come too late. After four minutes of injury time, he blew the whistle to end the game.

"The game is over! Zenit Saint Petersburg has entered the top eight of the UEFA Cup! U—ra—!" Finally, Hilgayevski couldn't restrain his excitement and shouted long live.
