Chapter 5: Young Captain
On August 17, the 2013/2014 Premier League season ushered in the first round. Google search reading
This is a highly anticipated moment.
After completing transfer operations and making reinforcements, major teams are launching their attacks towards the new season.
Last season's Premier League champions sent away Sir Alex Ferguson, and David Moyes settled in Manchester United and was given the responsibility to lead the Red Devils to continue their glory.
Crazy Mourinho has returned to his old club, and Chelsea has attracted much attention in the new season.
Liverpool have also made reinforcements. Liverpool this season should not be underestimated.
Tottenham Hotspur sent away Welshman Bale and the team suffered a heavy blow. Can they continue their glory?
Manchester City still spends a lot of money to buy people during the transfer period and continues to attack the championship.
Arsenal's injury problem has been resolved. After unfortunately failing to win the championship last season, the Gunners landed in the Premier League in the strongest possible posture.
Suarez, Casula, Lucky, Wilshere, Arteta and other players are all on standby.
Even civilian teams Everton and others have armed themselves.
There are no underdogs in the Premier League!
The fiery Premier League opening game is about to begin!
London, Emirates Stadium.
It was already very hot at this time.
After the start of the new season, Arsenal fans are full of expectations.
Although they unfortunately failed to win the championship last season, they retained this team, and the performance of these Gunners in the new season is also worth looking forward to.
And judging from the results of the warm-up matches revealed, the Gunners also performed very well.
This also makes them feel hot inside.
The stands at the Emirates Stadium are already abuzz with excitement.
Although home ticket prices remain high in order to repay stadium construction loans, fans no longer mind this.
As long as the team plays well, they don't mind spending a little more money to buy a game to witness a victory!
The game hasn't started yet, but the stands are already buzzing with excitement.
Flags were flying and the fans below were cheering enthusiastically.
They whistled, they sang cheerfully, and they shouted victory together.
These cheers spread throughout the stadium and even poured into the locker room.
"Okay, boys, let's win the first game of the new season together!"
Wenger completed the tactical arrangement and watched the players walk out of the locker room one by one.
At this time, he suddenly grabbed Lucai.
"What's wrong? Professor?"
Lucky turned his head in confusion.
Wenger smiled, took something out of his pocket, and put it on Lucky's left arm.
Wenger laughed; "You forgot your captain's armband!"
Lucky looked down at the captain's armband, took a deep breath, and said seriously, "We will win!"
Wenger patted Lucky on the shoulder and said, "Go!"
Lucky turned around and walked out of the locker room.
Wenger looked at Lucky's back and showed a smile.
He was the last one to come to the tunnel as Wengra was staying at Lucky.
At this time, the two teams had already lined up at both ends of the channel.
On the right are Arsenal players, and on the left are their opening opponents, Aston Villa.
Seeing Lucky coming out of the corner, the Arsenal players turned their heads.
They also saw Lucky's captain's armband.
Vermaelen is still injured, so Lucky, as the second captain, naturally assumes the role of captain on the field.
Lucky stretched out his hand and began to high-five the players one by one while stepping forward.
"This is the first round and I heard that the home court is already full. I think you can feel their enthusiasm too!"
The Arsenal generals watched Lucky pass by.
Those straight and broad shoulders seem to have infinite power.
【4】The horn is a symbol of Arsenal’s tradition!
At this moment, they forgot Lucky's age.
Various pictures appeared in my mind.
Last season, when they played against Manchester United at home, they fought bloody battles.
A brave record that brought the team into the top three despite a collapse in the midfield.
When they face difficulties again and again, that person always appears instantly.
yes!
This is the captain!
Wilshere looked at Lucky with complicated eyes.
In just two seasons, he missed a lot.
Although he is still wearing Arsenal's No. 10 jersey, the guy in front of him is Arsenal's No. 4!
He wanted to take on more responsibility and tradition.
But when he reacted, everything changed.
However, this change is not objectionable, it is just a bit helpless and a pity!
Lucky walked forward step by step with steady steps, and finally stood in front of goalkeeper Szczesny.
The referee looked down at the time, turned his head, nodded, and immediately stepped forward.
Lucai took a deep breath, his eyes were firm and resolute, he raised his right arm slightly and made a fist, and shouted briefly:
"Come on!"
The Arsenal players looked like wolves and roared in unison:
"Gunners!!!——"
"The first half is about to pass, and the score between the two sides is still 0:0. Aston Villa's defense is very good, and it is difficult for Arsenal to find opportunities!"
After Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray finished speaking, his partner Richard immediately answered.
Richard: "I feel that it's not that Aston Villa's defense is so good, but that Arsenal's offense is a bit slow. In fact, if we observe carefully, we can clearly feel that compared with the fierce offensive rhythm of the Gunners last season, the Gunners in this game are a bit too depressed."
As Richard said, the Arsenal striker in this game was a bit too depressed.
Of course, this is not a problem of state.
It's that they have been relaxed for too long and have not yet fully adjusted to the game mode psychologically.
There is not much sense of urgency.
Although it looks good and the running is also very active.
But there are some problems in key details.
For example, continuity, determination, etc.
Lok Kai also noticed this scene, but it's not just Arsenal, Aston Villa is the same.
Lok Kai quietly moved to the vicinity of the center circle, his eyes fixed on the opponent's center forward, Benteke.
This center forward has good strength, shooting, and dribbling.
But lacks speed.
So after retreating, most of the time he will not take the initiative to dribble the ball, but pass it out and wait for his teammates to assist him.
And Lucky was waiting for the moment of passing or receiving the ball.
Benteke didn't know he was being targeted.
He turned his head left and right and found that there was no one around, so he raised his hand to ask for the ball.
Westwood also chose to pass the ball after seeing that Benteke was safe.
But as soon as the ball was passed, Westwood was shocked.
When the ball rolled towards Westwood, Wilshere suddenly rushed towards Benteke.
As a last resort, Benteke stepped forward to control the ball in advance.
But at this time, he was already stuck with Wilshere.
The two began a fierce close-quarters fight. Although Wilshere's body was not strong, this guy was funny enough!
Once he stuck to you, he would chase you relentlessly.
As a player in Vieira's period, Wilshere's fighting spirit was beyond doubt.
It's just that he was too impulsive sometimes!
But this time, he was obviously not impulsive.
Because he knew that his teammates were coming.
Benteke tried his best to protect the ball while waiting for his teammates to respond.
But at this moment, the ball under his feet was suddenly kicked out.
One foot stepped out from under his crotch and hit the ball accurately.
Immediately, he saw a red and white figure passing by him, and Wilshere ignored Benteke and ran forward.
"Beautiful coordinated defense!! The coordinated defense between Wilshere and Kai, Aston Villa lost the ball! Arsenal's counterattack!"
After getting the ball, Le Kai looked forward.
The entire Aston Villa formation was forward, which had not yet been transformed from an offensive formation to a defensive formation, which was extremely beneficial to Arsenal.
Thinking of this, Le Kai kicked the ball directly to Walcott.
This was a method that Arsenal used for a long time last season, using Walcott's speed to quickly bring the ball to the dangerous area.
But this time, Walcott did not choose to dribble the ball, but directly passed the ball to Cazorla.
Immediately after passing the opponent's full-back, Cazorla passed it back again.
The two completed the wall cooperation and passed the opponent's full-back at the same time.
Walcott broke into the penalty area, pretended to shoot, deceived the opponent's defender to block, and then passed the ball to Suarez.
After Suarez received the ball, he continued to move horizontally to the right, pulled out a gap and shot directly.
This shot was very powerful, flying over the arm of the Aston Villa goalkeeper and directly hitting the net above the goal!
At the end of the first half, Arsenal scored the first goal!
But it was not over yet.
In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.
Just six minutes into the game, Arsenal got a corner kick opportunity.
Cazorla came to the penalty spot, his eyes were looking for a pass.
At this time, he saw a figure running quickly towards the front point.
Cazorla's eyes lit up and he kicked the ball immediately.
This ball was passed quickly and quickly, and it had to be very low.
Lekai was running at full speed!
When he came to the right side of the goal, Lekai kicked hard with one foot, his whole body was parallel in the air, and his eyes were fixed on the ball.
The forehead gently rubbed the ball.
The ball suddenly changed its trajectory and flew towards the near point.
It almost hit the goal post and went into the net again!
"GooooooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaL!!!!!!!!!!"
The commentator George Adams roared.
The entire Emirates Stadium also cheered like a tsunami.
"Kai!!! Diving into the top!! He helped Arsenal expand the score!"
"In the first game, he scored a goal! This also means that his condition is extremely good!"
"He was not affected by the injury at all!!"
"Tell me loudly, the one who scored for us was"
The whole audience roared.
"Kai!!!!!!!!!!!!--"
In the East Stand, Meadows and others immediately fell silent after cheering, and the entire East Stand suddenly became quiet.
Their eyes were fixed on Lucky.
At this moment, Lekai rushed to the East Stand, his arms spinning like a propeller!
Suddenly, he threw three punches!
At the same time, a uniform shout came from the East Stand.
HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HA! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
The entire East Stand is shaking!
Countless arms are raised high!
Flags are waving wildly!
Those faces are full of fanaticism!
In the Sky Sports live broadcast room, Andy Gray shouted; "Here it comes! Kai's iconic goal move! Since last season, he has completely ignited the enthusiasm of the Emirates Stadium. Now who dares to say that Arsenal's home is a library? It's already the second half, but Arsenal fans are still shouting wildly!"
"Yes! This is the passion that Kai gives to Arsenal!"
"Facing such a young captain! Who can not love? Who can not be excited?!"
"Arsenal fans are lucky, because they have met a real Gunner!"
