Chapter 390 May God Bless Them, Amen

"...God seems to be taking care of us! Because since Naples came to St. Petersburg, the snow has never stopped! Before that, St. Petersburg had always had blue sky and white clouds, and the weather was fine. It was not until the day when Naples left for St. Petersburg that Suddenly... things are so weird, so I think it's God helping us at Zenit St. Petersburg!"

The TV in the hotel room is showing sports, and the St. Petersburg host is thanking God in Russian.Most of the Naples players couldn't understand these words, but Arshavin, who was standing in front of the window at this moment, showed a wry smile because he understood.

The TV was behind him, and the host's words made a group of people laugh, and the laughter came from the TV.The glass window in front of Arshavin reflected his frowning expression.

Outside the window is the hazy sky, and the endless snowstorm... The heavy snow like goose feathers is drifting obliquely, obviously the wind outside is very strong.

Such weather... If he was still a member of Zenit St. Petersburg, he would definitely laugh out loud.But he is not, he is now a Naples player.Everything has to be considered from the perspective of Naples, this game is really...too difficult for Naples!
In another room, Chen Yingxiong's cell phone rang and rang, one text message after another.

Chen Yingxiong is bickering with his former teammates on his mobile phone.

Leader: "Hahahahaha!"

Chen Yingxiong: "Don't laugh, leader! This kind of weather is nothing to us!"

Leader: "Does 'we' mean you and Shava?"

Anyukov: "Welcome to St. Petersburg! Behold, God welcomes you, hero. Thank you for the good fortune you have brought us, ha!"

Team leader: "You Italians boast that Naples is the home of hell, now let you see what the real home of hell is! Hahahaha!"

Anyukov: "It's a nice day, isn't it? Hero? I hope it will be like this on match day!"

……

At first Chen Yingxiong fought back, but later he kept quiet because he really didn't know how to fight back.

There was a knock on the door: "Boys, it's time for us to go!"

Santa Croce, who was in the same room with Chen Yingxiong, wailed: "God, help me!"

He was frightened by the scene outside that seemed to be the end of the world...

※ ※ ※

For the Naples players, the sky was so dark that it was only two o'clock in the afternoon, and all the street lights on the street were lit up, and the buildings on both sides of the road also showed lights, and the low dark clouds were pressing on everyone's head , making people feel breathless, as well as the howling wind that comes and goes, and it feels like a knife when it hits the face, and it is definitely not as gentle as the snowflakes described in literature...

They think the end of the world is nothing more than that.

Of course, how could one forget that the average temperature in St. Petersburg is -[-] degrees below zero right now?

And this is not the coldest time, after all, this time can barely be regarded as "daytime"... In order to take care of the TV live broadcast plan, tomorrow's Champions League match will start at night. By then, the sun will completely fall below the horizon, and the temperature It will be even lower.

On the bus, Mazari was comforting his team members: "I learned from the locals that the average temperature in St. Petersburg in November is not so low. It's... so, uh, if the weather improves tomorrow, it's actually... not as cold as everyone thinks..."

In the end, even he himself felt that he was not convincing, so he simply ended it hastily.

It has snowed for two days in a row, and the weather forecast says that it will continue to fall tomorrow. He is now hoping to make it even bigger. He might as well just go down to one night and the snow will not be even one meter deep, and then UEFA will cancel the match. , and then everyone went to a neutral country for a rematch... But Mazari himself felt that this was completely impossible.

Almost every player in Naples ran all the way from the bus into the locker room, and then dawdled in the air-conditioned locker room for a long time before getting changed, and was rushed back to the court by assistant coach Viviani.

Only Chen Yingxiong and Arshavin behaved normally.

In order to convey a confident and optimistic mood to his teammates, Chen Yingxiong also took a sharp breath of cold air, and then looked intoxicated: "Ah - St. Petersburg! It's really a kind cold!"

As a result, this did not improve the self-confidence of his teammates, but made them just want to beat him up for showing off...

At the Petrovski Stadium, the assistant coach yelled: "Adapt to the weather, adapt to the snow! You have to adapt to it! Because this is the environment where you will play tomorrow! If you don't adapt now, tomorrow you will fail." Bad luck! Remember, we're Naples! We're not cowards—"

The last sentence dragged on, and it was supposed to be a morale-strengthening sentence, but it trembled at the end, and immediately lost its momentum-the assistant coach also shivered from the cold.

Chen Yingxiong and Arshavin seemed relatively relaxed. He was very excited to return to the Petrovsky Stadium. He was running on the snow-covered stadium, feeling the strength of the turf under his feet.

Yes, that's what it feels like.He remembered his first game in the snow when he was playing for Zenit in St. Petersburg, and it was hilarious.

Arshavin also seemed to be deeply touched.He only came to Naples at the beginning of this year, and he has not been away from Zenit for a long time, but for some reason, he always feels like he has been out for several years.

What kind of treatment will I get in this stadium tomorrow?is welcome?or boos?
How will the fans treat themselves, a guy who was raised in St. Petersburg and eventually escaped from St. Petersburg?
His body trembled slightly, and he didn't know whether it was because of anxiety or the cold...

When the team was training to adapt to the field, Naples coach Mazzarri was being interviewed by reporters in the press conference hall wrapped in a thick sports cotton coat.

"...Of course the weather is not good. But we are a professional team, and a professional team means that you have to be prepared for any situation and you have to be able to deal with it. Snow football? That's nothing, it snows every winter in Italy ..."

"It is said that Hamsik caught a cold after arriving in St. Petersburg. Will this affect his appearance in the game?" A reporter raised his hand and asked.

"He does have a cold, but it's just a small one. He just sneezed a few times. I think he will play in tomorrow's game..." Mazari said in his heart that you, a reporter, are quite well-informed, but I But I won't tell you the truth!

"Is the team's goal in this game still to pursue victory?"

Mazzari nodded: "Yes, every game in Naples is for victory!" He said this without shame, but it is also a way to boost morale.The objective conditions were already bad enough. As the head coach, if he said something discouraged, he would not have to play this game before kick-off...

"Hero and Arshavin will return to their old places, do you think this will stimulate their performance?"

"Both of them are very good professional players, I think this question is moot... and I'm sure the fans of Zenit St Petersburg will also be very happy to have these two players back... After all, they are Zenit A legend in franchise history..."

"One last question, Mr. Mazari. Does the bad weather really have no effect on the team's performance?"

"Yes, no!" Mazari said categorically, looking at the reporter who asked the question, with a resolute expression on his face, which made people feel as if they would burst out with invincible courage...

※ ※ ※

Due to the weather, almost all the players in Naples were unable to adapt to the field training normally, and many people frequently slipped and fell to the ground. These funny falls would only get everyone gloating and laughing at ordinary times.But now it makes the coaching staff hang up.

Because the weather is too cold and the warm-up is not sufficient, the players may be injured in such a fall.At this juncture, if an important player is injured, it will be even worse... and let people live?

So the training to get used to the venue ended hastily after almost everyone fell over and used their buttocks to adapt to the softness of the turf of the Petrovsky Stadium.

The quality of the acclimatization sessions was poor, worrying assistant coach Vivinia, who left the field.

Sitting next to him, coach Mazari tilted his head and whispered in his ear: "Don't be so sullen, Fabio. The situation is fucking bad enough... you have to let the players on you , You see courage and confidence in every move you make!"

"Okay, Walter, I'll try my best..." Viviani replied reluctantly.

Mazari sighed softly.

He felt that his team's luck was really bad for this trip to St. Petersburg.The horror in the air made many players exhausted, and when they came to St. Petersburg, they encountered wind and snow for several days, which made the team's morale drop to the bottom.

If things go on like this, how to deal with the home team who are waiting for work?

The head of Mazar is as big as a bucket.

When all the players of the visiting team Naples were tormented by the weather, Zenit players in St. Petersburg's training base Yudeni Park were full of relaxed and happy laughter.

"I bet Hero and Shawar are having a headache for their squeamish teammates! Hahaha!" Denisov said to his teammates.

"I feel sorry for the hero and Shava, and I sympathize with them both!" Anyukov also prayed devoutly. "God bless them!"

"Me too, may God bless them to lose a few goals!"

"Amen……"
