When Chen Hero used his chest to control Arshavin's pass, the CSKA Moscow fans in the stands once again made "woo-woo-woo" sounds, mocking the "yellow-skinned monkey" who had skied two shots in a row.

But now, the stands of the Dynamo Stadium were silent!

Akinfeev fell to the ground, but the football was already nestling in the back of the net.

The swirling snowflakes returned to calm, falling gently from the sky, landing on everyone.

The stands where the enthusiastically excited CSKA Moscow fans had gathered suddenly plunged into freezing point.

One CSKA Moscow fan couldn't help but shudder, shaking off a few snowflakes.

"Goal... Go-o-o-al!"

Yuri Petrov was stunned for a moment before he realized what he should be doing.

Amidst his loud cheers, Chen Hero turned and ran toward the area where the CSKA Moscow fans were most concentrated, then put his finger to his lips, signaling them to shut up!

The result was that the enraged CSKA Moscow fans made even louder "woo-woo-woo" sounds!

"You damn yellow-skinned monkey!"

"Want me to fuck you to death! Bastard!"

"Where did this yellow-skinned monkey come from? Get out of Russia!"

"I fucked your mother's asshole last night! Kid!"

"No matter how arrogant you are, you're just a monkey! Monkey!!"

A torrent of foul language from the Russian fans swept over Chen Hero.

Obviously, Chen Hero's actions were adding fuel to the fire…

Maybe he didn't know how dangerous Russian fans could be, but his teammates did, so they rushed up, pulled Chen Hero back, and surrounded him to celebrate the goal.

"Well done, Hero!"

"That shot was fucking beautiful!"

"How did you knock that Rasimic away? With your ass?"

They patted Chen Hero's head, shoulders, and back, celebrating wildly.

When Chen Hero blasted the football into the CSKA goal from twenty-three meters away, Advocaat excitedly jumped out of his seat and rushed to the sidelines, clenching his fist.

This kid really did it!

He actually scored in the first half!

And it was a beautiful long shot!

Damn it! How many more surprises will this kid give me?

He waved his fist forcefully.

Beside him were the ecstatic Zenit coaches and substitute players.

Similarly, when Chen Hero blasted the football into Akinfeev's goal, CSKA Moscow's assistant coach, Ratish, felt his heart jump as if he had been startled.

Head coach Gazzaev, next to him, sat motionless in his chair, like a stone statue.

Ratish glanced at the head coach, unable to discern any change in expression on his face... and his heart beat even faster…

"Ahhh! What a beautiful long shot! Hero's volley! He helped the team equalize!"

"Beautiful! Hero's goal is beautiful!"

"He finally broke his goal drought! Four consecutive rounds without a goal have become history, the past! Now he's scoring again! This suddenly emerging Chinese player has scored his sixth goal in the Russian Premier League!"

"Rasimic is also a very strong defensive midfielder, but let's take a look at the slow motion... what did Hero do when he charged up? Oh, my god! He just stuck out his ass!"

After seeing Chen Hero's move, the commentators went crazy... Just sticking out his ass, which seemed simple, actually pushed away a strong man who was one meter ninety-one tall and weighed eighty kilograms... What kind of power is that!

In the press box, the St. Petersburg reporters jumped up and cheered, raising their hands, while the Moscow reporters had gloomy faces that looked awful.

No one would feel comfortable being tied before the end of the first half…

After celebrating the goal with his teammates, Chen Hero ran back to his own half. He turned his head and looked at the CSKA Moscow coaching area.

He saw Ratish at a glance.

This man had left a deep impression on him, because he had humiliated him and his father in person. He had vowed to take revenge, and if he even forgot what his enemy looked like… then he would become a laughingstock.

Ratish was sitting in his chair, looking a little restless.

Seeing him like this, Chen Hero smiled. He was sure that this man had recognized him.

He didn't run straight to his own half, but circled around to the CSKA Moscow coaching area, then shrugged and spread his hands at Ratish, making a very regretful expression.

I told you that letting me go would be your loss. Do you believe it now?

As the saying goes: If you don't listen to the old man, you'll suffer!

Of course, Ratish knew what Chen Hero's gesture meant... He didn't expect this kid to be so vindictive, still bearing a grudge about something that had happened months ago.

But this kid was just so vindictive!

This bastard…

Ratish was a coach renowned throughout Russia, and his peers had to show him respect when they met him. When had he ever suffered such humiliation?

Being slapped in the face by an unknown nobody, this feeling… was really fucking bad!

Ratish's face looked even worse.

He still didn't believe Chen Hero had this ability. This long shot… was clearly just good luck!

That's right, it was just good luck. How else could such a problem be explained if not by good luck? The things he had shown during training at the CSKA training ground completely extinguished Ratish's desire to sign him. How could a guy who even stumbled when heading the ball serve CSKA Moscow?

He didn't know why Zenit had signed him, but thinking about Petrzela and Borovicka, who had been fired shortly after being signed, Ratish felt that he might know why these two guys had been fired by the club…

If you got lucky in a game, even a useless person could score a world-class goal, so the goal itself didn't prove anything.

Ratish hadn't seen any outstanding qualities in Chen Hero during this game. Was his heading ability great? Wasn't it completely frozen by CSKA? A long shot? Pure luck!

When the game restarted, as soon as Chen Hero touched the ball, the stands rang with deafening "woo-woo-woo" sounds. He had successfully angered the CSKA Moscow fans. These people showed him no mercy.

But this scene made many people look very uncomfortable... Even the CSKA Moscow head coach had a gloomy face after seeing this scene.

Everyone knew what this sound represented. This wasn't ordinary booing, this was "woo-woo-woo," the sound of imitating monkeys.

This was racism! No matter what the reason, it couldn't hide the fact.

Although racism was very popular in Russia, it didn't mean that racist things could be tolerated in such public places.

Therefore, the actions of the CSKA fans were simply pushing the team they supported into a fire pit…

But Chen Hero appeared very calm. He didn't do anything extreme under the fans' provocation, which greatly improved the onlookers' perception of him.

Yuri Petrov, the commentator who had been mocking him before, also praised Chen Hero for having the demeanor of a great general...

But no one knew that the first thing Chen Hero did during the halftime break was look for bananas…

Generally speaking, football games are very physically demanding. A game lasts ninety minutes, plus extra time, so it's basically impossible for players to go on the field after having eaten and drunk their fill. So, feeling hungry after playing half a game is normal.

Therefore, many clubs prepare some food in the locker room for the players to fill their stomachs during the halftime break.

But these things may not all be delicious, and not everyone likes them.

Some teams even go out for dinner together after the game, also to fill their stomachs.

In the Zenit St. Petersburg locker room, the team prepared some snacks and fruits for everyone. During the halftime break, everyone could listen to the head coach's tactical arrangements while eating to replenish energy.

Bananas, Chen Hero had seen them relatively often during halftime breaks before. Although Russia doesn't produce bananas, thanks to the developed logistics, Russia can also eat bananas.

On the tennis court, you can often see players peeling bananas to eat during short breaks. They don't do it to fill their stomachs, but to replenish the energy lost by their bodies. Football and tennis players like to eat bananas before going on the field, which helps with their performance. From a nutritional point of view, the sugar in bananas can be quickly converted into glucose, which is immediately absorbed by the body, making it a quick source of energy.

So, bananas are easy to find in the locker room.

Chen Hero's teammates were all indignant about the unfair treatment he had suffered in the first half.

As soon as they entered the locker room, everyone comforted him.

"Hero, don't pay attention to those bastards, they're all idiots!" Denisov said indignantly.

"Actually, most Russians aren't like this…" Kerzhakov seemed a little embarrassed, after all, it was his compatriots who had made such sounds at his friend.

"That's right, things like this are normal, don't pay attention to them. There are always some childish people." Arshavin also came forward to soothe Chen Hero's emotions.

"That's right, that's right!"

Chen Hero wasn't as angry as everyone imagined. He just nodded, then grabbed a banana in his hand.

Actually, Chen Hero really liked to eat bananas, but it had nothing to do with whether he was a monkey or not.

This time, he didn't peel it and eat it, but handed it to Denisov.

"Ah, thank you, no need. I can get one myself…" Denisov didn't really like to eat this stuff. He always felt that the powdery texture didn't taste good.

Who knew that Chen Hero wasn't offering him a banana to eat. "Captain, help me hold this for a while when the second half starts."

Denisov looked at the banana in Chen Hero's hand, looking surprised: "What are you going to do?"

Chen Hero smiled slyly: "You'll find out in the second half!"

Just as Denisov was about to press him for an explanation, Advocaat came in.

As soon as the head coach came in, he saw Chen Hero sitting with Denisov.

Seeing the head coach turn his attention to Chen Hero, Denisov didn't want to argue with him about it…

Advocaat withdrew his gaze, and didn't mention anything about his agreement with Chen Hero during the entire halftime break, only talking about how to play in the second half.

"...In the second half, we'll play with Hero as the core, try to go through the air as much as possible, avoid the ground game. The backcourt should pass the ball simply, and look for Hero directly when we have the ball…"

Hearing him say this, Anyukov, who was sitting diagonally opposite Chen Hero, winked at his friend.

After so much torment, he had finally returned to the starting lineup. He was being valued tactically. He was no longer just a guy who set up goals for his teammates. He was a true center forward, whose duty was to score goals and who regarded scoring goals as life.

Where he was, that's where the main attack direction was!

And Chen Hero also knew that he had won another bet with the head coach!
