Fox in the Penalty Area

"There's nothing to say. Let's fight to the death, gentlemen. There are forty-five minutes left in the game. Since we can tie the total score, we can definitely go one step further and eliminate them here!"

That's what head coach Jopp Munster said to his players at halftime.

Chen Xingyi also felt deeply about this sentence.

Because for him, it was also a critical moment of a last-ditch battle.

In the other two Champions League quarter-finals a week ago, Xia Xiaoyu and Hu Lai both reached the Champions League quarter-finals.

In yesterday's Champions League, Luo Kai also scored to help Tramed eliminate the Turin Bulls at home. After the game, the English media even called for this goal to be the best goal in the Champions League quarter-finals.

Look at the height...

Three of the four Chinese players participating in the Champions League this season have reached the quarterfinals.

Now the pressure is all on my side.

He doesn't want to be "the special one."

And he also wants to go to the Champions League quarter-finals - after three seasons in European football, he has never reached the Champions League quarter-finals.

Last season, Atlético Amsterdam was unfortunate to encounter the Madrid Pirates who had Hulay when they were in the 16th or 8th round.

The natural result is to be eliminated.

This season's Atlético Amsterdam's opponent in the quarter-finals is last season's French Ligue 1 champion Paris Eger. This is a strong enemy, but it is not as strong as last season's Madrid Pirates.

So even though they were beaten 1:2 by Paris Eger at home in the first round, Sporting Amsterdam still fought back tenaciously in the second round with a 2:1 away game, and the two sides drew with a total score of 3:3.

For Chen Xingyi, "a last stand" has another meaning.

That is, he no longer wants to stay in Amsterdam Sporting. He wants to go to a bigger stage and see a wider world.

This time he played against Paris Eger, which further deepened his thoughts.

Chen Xingyi looked at Paris Eger's current captain, their sharp striker Mendy Payet, and seemed to see his own future.

Mendy Paye became famous very early,

At the age of seventeen, he was already a genius that was being chased all over Europe. Although he was trained by Paris Eger, almost everyone believes that he will eventually leave Paris Eger and go to a more top giants stage. Paris Eger is just a springboard.

It’s no wonder that everyone thinks so. Although Paris Eger is also a wealthy club, it’s just that this wealthy club is a bit weak - the only time they won the Champions League was in the distant 1993...

Moreover, the overall influence of Ligue 1 cannot be compared with the other four leagues, especially the Premier League and La Liga, which are far ahead of the other three.

As a talented player like Payet, if he continues to stay in Paris, how can he become a truly top star in the world?

Chen Xingyi once served as a member of the Chinese team and played against the 202 national team in a friendly match.

Mendy Paye was twenty-six years old at the time, in his prime. But still in Eger, Paris.

Apparently he stayed at Springboard a little too long.

There were still rumors at the time that he was about to leave Paris Eger and go to a top club, such as Blue and White Munich, Catalan United, Kings of Madrid...

As a result, in the blink of an eye, Payet is already twenty-nine years old and he is still in Paris Eger.

At this time, even if he wanted to leave Paris Eger, he would not be able to go to a better wealthy team.

Because he is older.

Blue and White Munich had been chasing him for a long time, and finally poached Mark Becker from Ruerrhein the year before last, giving up all previous efforts to introduce Payet.

After Catalonia introduced Kabangka, their interest in Paye also plummeted.

As for the King of Madrid... the King of Madrid may still want him, after all, Cerrados will retire after this season. But after Melli had been completely corrected, Payet went to the Madrid Kings and could only help Melli. Whether Payet would be willing to accept such an arrangement is hard to say.

If he goes to a non-rich team whose strength and status are not as good as Paris Eger, then why should he leave?

Paris Eger has always wanted to sign a five-year contract extension with Payet.

If Payet really signs, it almost means that he has dedicated all the best years of his career to Paris Eger, and he will be thirty-four years old when the contract expires.

No one expected that he, who would go to a top wealthy club to achieve great achievements, would actually become a representative figure of "one city in a lifetime".

There are still people who say that although Payet's talent is outstanding, his ambition is obviously not worthy of his talent. Because he doesn't seem to be very eager to play abroad. He doesn't think it's a bad thing to stay in Paris Eger. There's nothing bad about not being able to become the top player in the world and not being able to succeed the "Four Kings".

Some people lamented that if Payet could leave Paris Eger early, he would become the top star who won the Ballon d'Or and World Footballer before Melli.

As a result, he has not even won a Champions League title - he is fighting for the Champions League title every year in Paris Eger.

How can a player without a Champions League title win the Ballon d'Or and World Footballer of the Year?

With his ability, as long as he is willing to go to Blue and White Munich, Catalan United or Madrid Kings, these honors will not be difficult for him. Moreover, if he really goes to the Madrid Kings, there may not be anything wrong with Melli now. The Madrid Kings will focus on cultivating Paye after Cerrados gets older and his condition declines. Will Melli still be able to stay? It’s hard to say even to the king…

When Chen Xingyi saw Paye, he thought of his future:

As a Chinese player, it seems pretty good if he can occupy a main position in a Dutch giant like Sporting Amsterdam and play for a long time.

Yes. If there is no ambition, or if the ambition is not high, this is a very good career for a Chinese player.

After all, there has never been a Chinese player who has been able to play for a Dutch giant like Sporting Amsterdam, let alone occupy the main position for a long time.

Qin Lin only played five seasons in Frankfurt and was not even a main player for most of the time. After retiring, he became a star of Frankfurt and entered the club's Hall of Fame.

If Chen Xingyi can do what Payet did at Sporting Amsterdam, he can definitely become a "legend" for this wealthy team.

But what if I have the ability to go to a bigger stage?

He is already twenty-six years old.

It happened to be Payet's age when he and Payet played against each other.

Will he stay at Sporting Amsterdam or take a gamble and go to a team in the five major leagues?

Does he hope to still be at Sporting Amsterdam when he is thirty years old in a few years?

Everyone said that he was like water, flowing down the river.

But does he really want to flow down like water?

He doesn't want to, he wants to go to a bigger stage.

But how can we get to that more gorgeous and grand stage?

He must perform more convincingly in the Champions League and have the ability to determine victory or defeat.

"The ninety-minute game is over! Atlético Amsterdam unexpectedly led Paris Eger 2:1 in the away game! As a result, the two sides tied with a total score of 3:3, and the game will be dragged into overtime! This is the Champions League this season The second overtime game of the quarter-finals. Last week, Alvara dragged Ruerrhein into overtime in the away game, and finally eliminated the opponent with a penalty shootout... So this time, Athletic Amsterdam and Paris Can the match against Eger go to a penalty shootout?"

After playing a 90-minute regular game and 30 minutes of overtime, Chen Xingyi felt very tired.

But he is gritting his teeth and persisting.

He didn't want to show his weak side.

If you fail in the Champions League quarter-finals for three consecutive seasons, how can you go to a bigger stage?

Luo Kai can score such beautiful goals, why am I not as good as him?

I think back in high school, I was more dazzling than Luo Kai and Hu Lai!

Sporting Amsterdam attacks from the right wing.

Paris Eger's defensive attention was all attracted by the offensive there.

Compared with Atlético Amsterdam, the left wing where Chen Xingyi is currently located is the "weak side" of Paris Eger.

Atlético Amsterdam's offense will eventually come here.

I can't help but be there when the time comes!

Chen Xingyi gritted his teeth and sprinted, trying to keep up with the speed of the team on the left wing.

When he ran to the 30-meter area, he saw Paris Eger's defensive formation tilting further towards the right side of Athletic Amsterdam, so he slowed down first, then raised his arms high, signaling his teammates to pass the football to his side. .

Taking the ball on the right wing, Athletic Amsterdam's right back Jakob Harlan swung his leg and passed the ball to the back of Paris Eger's empty penalty area!

When Harlan passed the ball, Chen Xingyi started speeding up again. He did not go straight in front of the goal, but ran diagonally backward.

When the football passed over the heads of all the defensive players in the penalty area of ​​Paris Eger and flew to the back point, Chen Xingyi hit the horse just in time!

He raised his left foot and tried to shoot!

Clement Jasay, the goalkeeper of Paris Eger, was fooled into throwing out, but his left foot unloaded the football directly under his feet!

Of course, Chen Xingyi himself overshot a little, but he was very flexible and could adjust his center of gravity faster than the defenders of Paris Eger, get rid of the influence of inertia, return to the football, and swing his right foot!

Volley!

The French national goalkeeper of Paris Eger struggled to get up from the ground, trying to save the ball again... but he was just struggling!

The football dives into Paris Eger's goal!

In the 108th minute of the game, Chen Xingyi stabbed Paris Eger in the heart with his second goal in the Champions League this season!
