Chapter 214 Start

After the game, Chen Hero accepted interviews from reporters in the mixed zone. He said to the many reporters, "This is not an accident, nor is it a fluke, and it is not the end, it is the beginning."

He pointed to the camera lens.

He responded to those reporters who had provoked him before and re-issued a challenge to Pavlyuchenko.

The league's top scorer is mine!

The next day, many newspapers sang praises to Chen Hero again. The media is such a fickle thing…

Many media outlets also focused on Chen Hero’s tattoos, because a strong man who is 1.92 meters tall and weighs 95 kilograms, with a full back of tattoos, is indeed visually impactful and very eye-catching.

With Chen Hero's popularity, it will naturally trigger a wave of fashion tattoos—in fact, some young people have taken photos of Chen Hero's back to tattoo artists, asking them to copy them...

Some entertainment magazines, newspapers, and TV programs that have nothing to do with football have also introduced Chen Hero's tattoo, which covers the entire back. It is rare to see, let alone such a delicate and vivid tattoo, which can be called a work of art.

Good things always seem to come in pairs around Chen Hero.

When he rediscovered his goal-scoring touch and showed off his triumphant tattoo, Dekula also brought him another good news. The Zara headquarters in Spain has agreed to the Russian branch's plan to invite Chen Hero to be the product spokesperson. Since the treatment and other things had been negotiated long ago, they can sign the contract directly.

In this way, Chen Hero’s commercial development has added another well-known brand.

After signing the contract, he went to take a few sets of photos for Zara's clothing for flat publicity. Chen Hero wore different styles of Zara casual clothes and showed his… wild charm in front of the camera. The tattoo he had just shown to the public came in handy in this advertising campaign.

In a group of jeans photos, he was naked from the waist up, showing off his strong muscles, wearing only a pair of jeans, barefoot, and let the photographer take pictures.

The tattoo on his back complemented the jeans, and the photographer was very satisfied after finding the photos.

At the photo shoot, Chen Hero met Vera for the second time. She looked more like a professional woman than last time. She couldn't get rid of the youthful temperament of a college student before.

But what hasn't changed is that her attitude towards Chen Hero is limited to work. Most of the time, she is expressionless, and she has never shown a smile when talking to Chen Hero, not even a little bit.

Chen Hero initially wanted to tease this ice beauty, saying something like "Hey little girl, give Grandpa a smile."

Vera said with a straight face: "It's working time now, Mr. Chen."

"Don't call me Mr. Chen, it feels so alienated. We're not strangers who don't know each other… call me Hero!" Chen Hero "ordered."

"Okay, Boss." Vera changed her address, but still didn't call him "Hero."

Chen Hero rolled his eyes.

But… well, "Boss" is more intimate than "Mr. Chen."

Is this an improvement in the relationship?

"When work is over later, can we go out for dinner together?" Chen Hero has only seen Vera smile once, and it wasn't even a completely heartfelt smile, which impressed him until now. He is very interested in this beauty. He doesn't know why the other party's attitude towards him is a bit cold, and he wants to get closer and repair the relationship between them.

"Thank you, Boss. But I still have to write a paper tonight." Vera pushed her wire-rimmed glasses, looking like a serious, hardworking, and studious person.

"Then the weekend?"

"Thank you, Boss, I have to take lessons with Mr. Dekula on the weekend."

Chen Hero was a little helpless when he met such a beauty who didn't respond to either soft or hard tactics.

Looking at Chen Hero's helpless back, Vera frowned and pouted. As expected of the "Prince of Nightclubs", does he want to seduce women when he sees them? So frivolous!

Although there were many things going on, Chen Hero's level still rose to level sixteen under his unremitting efforts.

Then he added talent points to "Airborne," and now this talent has been upgraded to the highest level.

Now his jumping ability has increased by 15%, and his hang time has increased by 9%.

After being maxed out, the benefits this talent brings to Chen Hero are obvious, especially the hang time. He can now jump higher than his opponent, but still land later. Even if he stays in the air for one more second, it is enough to determine whether a ball goes in or not...

The talent quickly highlighted its role.

On August 25, in the twenty-second round of the league, Zenit St. Petersburg defeated Soviet Wings 3:1 away.

This time, Chen Hero encountered the two central defenders, Boos and Hosin, in the game.

The first time they played against each other, although Chen Hero completed the hat trick that made him famous, he was also embarrassed in front of Boos and Hosin, and almost failed to complete the hat trick.

But this time, his goal seemed very easy...

"Arshavin crosses!"

"Hero jumps! Oh! He jumped too early..."

He did jump too early. He jumped earlier than Boos. In this case, when the football flies over, he has already started to fall. How can he compete with a defender like Boos who is good at headers and has an excellent height?

It was unexpected that he would make such a mistake. Chen Hero has always performed very well in terms of headers. No matter whether he can finally head the football in, at least his judgment on the timing of the jump is very accurate... But this time...

Boos was overjoyed and jumped up, planning to head the football out.

At this moment, he saw a scene that surprised him...

He jumped up, and Chen Hero was still in the air.

When he fell, he found that Chen Hero was still in the air, and almost maintained at the same height as before!

Hang time!

A thought flashed through his mind.

The football flew in on time. And Boos has already fallen, so it is difficult to pose any threat to Chen Hero who is still high above...

Arshavin's pass was a bit high, so it gave Chen Hero time to wait in the air. He didn't have to worry about anyone competing with him for the ball...

This scene in front of the goal was very short, almost just two or three seconds. Only slow-motion replays can show what exactly happened between Chen Hero and Boos.

Now, in everyone's opinion, Chen Hero jumped first, and then Boos followed suit, but Boos didn't head the ball...

Chen Hero shakes his head and shoots!

"goooooooooooooooooL!!"

"The sixteenth! His sixteenth goal of the season! Now he is one goal away from catching up with Pavlyuchenko!"

"Sure enough, Hero is right! This is not an accident, nor is it a fluke, and it is not the end! But... the beginning! The terrifying giant bear who exudes an arrogant aura is really back this time! He has scored in two consecutive games! He is here to take back what originally belonged to him!" Shirgayevski roared passionately.

Let the Moscow team take away the league championship and the league top scorer honors again? The people of St. Petersburg will not agree!

This time, Chen Hero did not take off his jersey to show off the giant bear tattoo on his back. He also knew that if he got two more yellow cards, he would be suspended again. There are still eight rounds left in the league, and the competition for both the league championship and the top scorer has entered a white-hot stage. If he is suspended for one game for this reason at this time, he may regret it for the rest of his life!

He just rushed to the camera and shouted a sentence in his hometown dialect: "Pava! You wait for me!!"

Fortunately, the Russian Premier League is not broadcast live in China, otherwise I don't know how many people would fall off their chairs...

※※※

In the end, Zenit St. Petersburg defeated Soviet Wings 3:1 away, with Chen Hero, Kerzhakov and Martin Skrtel each scoring a goal.

What made Soviet Wings feel particularly tragic was that their defense had such excellent aerial defense capabilities, but they conceded two headers, one from Chen Hero and one from Skrtel using a corner kick...

The consecutive victories have allowed Zenit St. Petersburg to rise back to second place, and the point difference from Spartak Moscow in first place is gradually narrowing.

With eight rounds left in the league, four teams have a chance to win the league championship: Spartak Moscow in first place, Zenit St. Petersburg in second place, Dynamo Moscow in third place, and FC Moscow in fourth place. As for last season's league champion, CSKA Moscow, they have fallen to fifth place, and the gap from first place Spartak Moscow has widened to ten points. It is very unlikely that they will be able to surpass the four strong teams in front of them and win the league championship in the remaining eight league games...

The more realistic approach for the former defending champion is to ensure that they can qualify for the UEFA Cup next season, so as not to end up empty-handed.

It would be embarrassing if a team that has participated in the Champions League for two consecutive seasons cannot even play in the UEFA Cup...

※※※

After playing the league, Zenit has to prepare for the second leg of the UEFA Cup qualifying round. Since they had already won 3:0 in the first leg on the opponent's home court, the second leg directly lost its suspense. At their home stadium, Zenit will definitely not allow a small, unknown team to spoil the situation.

At the same time, considering that there will be another league game in three days, and every game is extremely important on the road to winning the league championship, Advocaat rotated many of the main players off. This naturally included Chen Hero.

He is not worried about Chen Hero's physical strength. He is worried that Chen Hero will be tightly guarded by the opponent's defenders and then accidentally get injured or something. Although Chen Hero has never been injured before, Advocaat does not believe in luck at this critical moment.

For the league championship, he had to be cautious and prevent any accidents.
