Naples vs. Zenit St. Petersburg at home, this game attracted the attention of the Russian media.

Because this is a contest between two former Zenit St Petersburg players and their old club.

Before the game, many Russian media rushed to Naples to bring back first-hand reports for Russian fans. For example, what are the status of Chen Yingxiong and Arshavin...

In addition, in Russia, Zenit, who has not yet left, has also received a lot of attention.

Interim head coach Davidov will always be asked questions about Chen Yingxiong and Arshavin during interviews.

"That said, I always feel that Naples has only heroes like Shava..." Davydov joked. "Naples are not the only two of them. Naples is a very strong team. We are playing away again. I think we will be very cautious..."

Davydov is reluctant to talk about Chen Yingxiong's question.

He is not stupid enough to tell the media everything.

Although he was very humble and low-key in the interview. But it doesn't mean that Davidov will surrender early.

Zenit's performance in the domestic league this season was terrible, but it didn't start when he took over the team. It was like this when Edvard Carter was still alive.

Tymoshchuk's departure is just a performance of the team's poor performance.

The Russian League has reached the last third of the schedule. The current league ranking of St. Petersburg Zenit is very difficult to participate in the Champions League next season, so Davidov’s current goal is to ensure that the team goes further. One point, at least you can qualify for the team, right?

After two rounds, the team had a tie and a loss, with only one point, and the prospects were not optimistic.

Naples is listed as the fourth-tier team, entirely because they did not have any European war points before, but in fact, in terms of strength, it does not belong to the fourth-tier at all. Before the group stage, everyone felt that at least they were at the same level as Zenit, right?

They didn't think that after the start of the group stage, they discovered that they were completely wrong in their estimation! Naples is a team in the same class as Lyon and Liverpool!

Two group matches, one win and one draw, have not lost yet, currently with four points, ranking first in the group!

Zenit wants to beat this team in an away game very difficult.

Davydov's idea is to tie at the away game and then return to home to fight for victory. With the passage of time, it has entered the end of October. The next time the two sides will fight is in November. At that time, it had already snowed in St. Petersburg and the temperature was very low. Their home court can rely on their home court advantage to become the home of the devil. A team located on the warm Mediterranean coast like Naples will certainly not be able to adapt to that climate. Zenit is also possible to win.

In addition, he knows Arshavin and Chen Yingxiong very well, and these may also help the team, whether it is an away draw or a home win...

Head coach Davidov has other ideas. Zenit’s players did not think so much. They are full of expectations for this game, especially Anyukov and Denisov, the two former St. Petersburg Zephyrs. A member of the Nite Eat, Drink and Play Group.

"I'll tell you, hero! After we get there, no matter what the result of the game is, you have to treat!" Denisov said in the phone call to Chen Yingxiong.

"I know, I know, captain. Even if you don't tell me, I will invite you! And it just so happened that you know that we went to Liverpool to play some time ago, and then we got together with Martin boy once, so this time we got together with you. Once, I will introduce a few friends to let you know each other..."

"What did you do in Naples?"

"Haha! Exactly!"

"That's not bad! You arranged, anyway, you treat!"

The game belongs to the game, and friendship is friendship. Such things are normal.

The reporters obviously also knew about the friendship between Denisov, Anyukov, Chen Yingxiong, and Arshavin. It was in the era of Zenit St. Petersburg, and everyone was clear about it.

So in the interview, they also mentioned the friendship between the four people.

"No, no, we won't be merciful just because they are our friends, and I won't hesitate at all when it's time to step down!" Anyukov shook his head in an interview.

"Shovel the hero? Your proposal is very interesting, I will consider it. But I think if I go to shovel, I might be injured in the end... Haha! Just kidding! But no matter how good our relationship is in private, This is just a game. We will do our best to accomplish our goal. I think the hero and Shawar must think so too."

On the day of the match, the São Paulo Stadium was once again packed, and the Naples police mobilized a large number of police forces to maintain order.

Nowadays, every home game day of the Champions League is a holiday for Naples fans, and a good day for the Naples police...

But everyone enjoys it.

In the player channel, you can clearly hear the shouts and singing from the stands outside.

The players of Naples stood in the hallway, with their opponent Zenit St. Petersburg next to them.

Chen Yingxiong did not stand honestly in the team. Taking advantage of the time before the appearance, he and Arshavin were chatting with Anyukov, Denisov, and other Zenit players. A group of people used I was very happy talking in Russian.

Say hello to each other, and greet each other frequently.

Although this Zenit has left many people, there are still many people who are Chen Yingxiong and Arshavin as teammates.

Chen Yingxiong is driving Denisov and Anyukov's joke: "I tell you that the St. Paul Stadium is the home of hell, and the last Lyon who came here was completely scared! By the time you don't The legs are soft."

Denisov dismissed it: "Do you think I was scared?"

Chen Yingxiong didn't reply any more, just smiled without saying a word.

The other Zenit players sighed with emotion about the current situation of Chen Yingxiong and Arshavin, and also talked about what others are doing now. Krzakov left Zenit and went to Seville, but he couldn't find the rhythm at all in Spain, and his performance was terrible. There has been news that he might be sold back to Russia by Seville, but Zenit didn't take back his intentions, so he might go to... CSKA Moscow.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yingxiong was a little bit emotional. He doesn't like CSKA Moscow, but he didn't expect that one of his best friends would go to that team one day...

"I went to CSKA Moscow. It's good, at least they can participate in the Champions League next season...How do they look like us." Anyukov pouted beside him.

Zenit St. Petersburg is not doing well recently, and Chen Yingxiong also knows this. The pillars of the team went one by one, and even the head coach was gone. The Russian powerhouse that galloped in Europe and was crowned king in Britain no longer exists.

Suddenly the scene became a little silent and embarrassed.

At this moment, the referee came up from behind holding the football, and everyone knew it was time to play.

So Chen Yingxiong and Arshavin bid farewell to their teammates in Zenit and returned to the Naples team.

"Well, guys!" Captain Paul Cannavaro said to the teammates behind him in Italian with a strong Napoli accent: "It's time for us to play!"

"Oh!" Chen Yingxiong shouted.

Although he felt sorry for Zenit's fate, he is indeed a player from Naples.

The head coach of Zenit St. Petersburg, Davidov, was very low-key and humble regardless of the interview before the game. He emphasized that he was only a temporary head coach. Even if the team eventually advances to the top sixteen, he may not be able to stay. He can only praise Chen Yingxiong and Arshavin.

It seems that he is ready to lose on the road.

Actually...

Outsiders seem to have come to lose the game away!

"Naples! Beautiful! They took the lead at home! 1:0! Hamsik made the goal!"

The mountains of the St. Paul Stadium are like a tsunami, and the entire stadium seems to be shaking.

The enthusiasm of the southerners is like forever squandering, the last time Leon saw it here, this time it was the turn of the Russians!

Hamsik, who scored the goal, clenched his fists and waved to the stands. He was greeted by the fanatical shouts of the home fans.

"The game has only started for 23 minutes. The start was so smooth! Naples took the lead again! Last time they took the lead at home and then easily won the game. Their opponent was Lyon, who is stronger than Zenit. It seems... …Today, it’s not Zenit’s lucky day!"

Chen Yingxiong and Arshavin went to celebrate the goal with their teammates, and Zenit's players looked a little frustrated. It’s not always a good thing to be led by others.

Denisov raised his head and looked at the Naples fans who were constantly waving their arms in the stands. After Hamsik shot the football in with a long shot, the volume of the scene suddenly rose to a peak. Then, his The heart really paused for a second.

This is the atmosphere of the home court in Naples. Get up and experience the completely different feeling from listening to it in front of the TV... No wonder the hero will say don't let your legs feel scared.

Just kidding, I'm a professional player!

Denisov suddenly thought of another thing. Did the hero fight against the home fans for a whole season in such a frenetic home atmosphere?

This kid... is really amazing!

I don't know why, although it is clear in my heart that it is not the time to have these thoughts at all, Denisov is proud of his friends from the heart.

"Naples often has a lot of energy at home. They are always in good shape when they play here. I think this may have something to do with their fanatical fans... Now they have taken the lead at home and are already winning. On the way to the ball. And the visiting Zenit St. Petersburg is dangerous! Davidov's performance before the game is very low-key. Now it seems that he is not trying to confuse his opponent, but is really clear about his team and Naples. That’s why it’s so low-key—it’s also said that it’s really hard to beat Naples on the road. With the current state of Zenit St. Petersburg...I’m not optimistic anyway!"

When the narrator said so, he gave a close-up shot of Zenit St Petersburg coach Davidov.

Davydov looked calm in the lens, as if he had expected such a scene a long time ago.

But actually...

His heart is dripping blood!

Twenty-three minutes!

My careful arrangement lasted only 23 minutes!
