Chapter 7 Two Consecutive Victories
In the early morning, the sky of London was dimly lit. Google search reading
The drizzle was drizzling, and puddles appeared on the ground one after another, and a thin mist spread in the air.
There were few vehicles on the straight road.
Suddenly, there was a sound of running, followed by a long breath.
The rhythm was neither fast nor slow, but extremely even.
A figure appeared in the mist in front and passed quickly.
The puddles on the ground were stepped on and splashed everywhere, and at the same time broke the tranquility of the early morning.
Huh~~~~~~~
When he came to the halfway point of the mountain, Lekai stopped by the roadside, looking at the mountains and ridges wrapped in fog below, and felt that his whole chest was comfortable.
Putting his feet on the guardrail, Lekai began to stretch.
After stretching his whole body, he turned around and continued to run back.
After returning home, Lekai took a shower, then took out the suitcase and started to fill his clothes.
The day after tomorrow, they will play away games, so they need to arrive in the city where the home team is located one day in advance.
After loading the luggage, Lekai walked out of the house.
He found Chamberlain waiting at the door with his suitcase.
"You are too slow!"
Chamberlain complained.
Lekai laughed and scolded; "How can you be so confident as a hitchhiker?"
Chamberlain also responded, directly pulled up the trunk of the car and stuffed the suitcase in, and then got into the passenger seat.
"Hurry up! Hurry up! I'm starving!"
Lekai shook his head, stuffed the luggage into the trunk, and then sat in the driver's seat and started the car.
The two did not go directly to the training base, but came to Mrs. Winter's shop.
British restaurants open very late, most of them are at 9 or 10 o'clock, and there is no such thing as breakfast.
Therefore, many Arsenal players come here after eating at home, or solve it in the canteen of the training base.
But the breakfast in the canteen of the training base, to be honest, is healthy, but it has no taste at all.
For this reason, many Arsenal players, including Lekai, are frequent customers of Mrs. Winter.
This small shop not far from the training base has won the love of Arsenal players.
"Two boiled eggs, two whole meat sausages, and two corn pastes!"
In a small shop, an old lady wearing an apron, a floral skirt, a white bun, and reading glasses is making breakfast.
Hearing Lekai's words, Mrs. Winter turned her head and showed a doting smile on her wrinkled face, saying: "Do you need a special salad?"
Lekai gave a thumbs up: "Of course!"
Soon, Mrs. Winter packed two breakfasts and handed them over, saying: "I added two more boiled eggs for you!"
Mrs. Winter clenched her fist and smiled; "Show those 'black cats' a powerful look!"
Lekai smiled and said: "Just watch!"
Back in the car; the two of them wolfed down the food and drove to the training base immediately.
The two were still the first to arrive.
Lekai skillfully took out the key to the locker room from his pocket, opened the door and walked in.
Johnson was originally in charge of the keys.
But Lucky came too early every day, and he hadn't slept in for a whole season.
In order not to be disturbed by Lucky, he handed the keys to Lucky.
Anyway, this guy was the first to come!
After changing jerseys, the two came to the training ground and started jogging to warm up.
After warming up, the two began to practice the ball sense again.
"This damn drizzle!"
Chamberlain wiped the rain stains on his face and said upset; "If it's going to rain, it's going to rain harder and end it quickly. I hate this kind of drizzle the most. No one knows when it will stop!"
Lucky stepped on the ball and nodded; "Prepare an extra pair of long-spiked shoes, just in case I have to change my shoes!"
Chamberlain pouted; "I can't play anyway!"
In the first round of the game, Chamberlain did not get any chance to play.
Cazorla's performance was great, and it can be said that he was directly pressed to death on the bench.
Lucky had no way to deal with this.
I fought for the starting position myself, and Lekai couldn't help me with this.
About an hour later, the players arrived one after another.
They quickly finished their warm-up and joined Lekai's training.
The main players came a little earlier, and when the substitutes saw this scene, they quickly changed their clothes and warmed up.
And compared to the main players, they ran two more laps.
Lekai looked at this scene with a smile.
Roll up!
When Wenger and other coaches arrived, both the main players and substitutes had completed their own warm-up and certain training.
Wenger looked at the changes in the players with satisfaction, and then clapped his hands and said; "Okay, everyone go take a shower and gather in the tactical room. We will set off in the afternoon!"
"Sunderland! Adam Johnson lost his voice, which is a catastrophic thing for Sunderland." Andy Gray shook his head; "He was completely suppressed by Kai!"
In 67 minutes, the score on the field was 1:2.
Except for the first goal at the beginning, Sunderland fell into an extremely passive situation.
Especially after Adam Johnson entered the Arsenal half, Lucky began to take full responsibility for his defense.
Under Lucky's close defense, Adam Johnson began to lose himself and even dared not to attack the Arsenal half.
Adam Johnson was miserable. How could he be targeted by this Chinese?
Faced with such an efficient interception player, Adam Johnson had no way to deal with it.
He had also tried to solve the problem with physical confrontation, but he found that he could not squeeze Lucky.
As a core player, Adam Johnson was silent, and Sunderland's offense began to stagnate.
Arsenal's offense was played vividly.
Arteta and Cazorla played happily without any defensive pressure.
The forwards were also like fish in water.
They understood that this was all dependent on Lucky's contribution in the defense.
This allowed them to dribble forward without any scruples.
Of course, Lucky was not idle either.
He watched the formation press forward as a whole, and he also slightly moved towards the front court.
When he came near the opponent's penalty area, he suddenly raised his hand to ask for the ball.
No one at Arsenal would refuse Lucky's request for the ball.
Walcott directly passed the ball to Lucky.
Lekai was near the penalty area line, facing the ball and shooting it with a furious kick!
BANG!!!
Under the powerful force, the ball was pressed into an oval shape, and it smashed into the sky in front like a cannonball!
This is an anti-aircraft gun!
"Kai!! Long shot!! Uh~~~~ Okay! The accuracy is a little off!"
Andy Gray, the Sky Sports commentator, laughed and said, "This is Kai's third long shot in this game, right? It seems that Wenger has started to let Kai practice long shots. Yes, midfielders need to learn the ability to shoot long shots."
Lekai put his hands on his waist and shook his head helplessly.
He looked at his legs and felt a little depressed.
No one harassed him just now, but he still couldn't hold the ball.
So, passing and long shots are different.
Passing requires more inch strength, in which case, you can better control the angle and various changes.
But long shots require you to swing your thighs and hit the ball with all your strength.
With greater strength, control also decreases.
Lekai raised his hand to apologize to his teammates, who smiled and didn't mind.
They rarely saw Lekai's frustrated look, so they felt pretty good.
After this shot attempt, Lekai continued to try.
In the whole game, he kicked 5 long shots, but didn't score. One of them hit the goal frame, and the others were anti-aircraft guns.
But even though Lekai repeatedly wasted opportunities, other Arsenal players were still stable.
In the end, in the second round of the 2013/2014 Premier League, Sunderland 1:2 Arsenal.
After the start of the league, Arsenal won two consecutive victories!
Not only did Arsenal win two consecutive victories, Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur also followed Arsenal's pace.
As the focus of the second round of the league, Chelsea drew 0:0 with Manchester United away.
In this game, both sides lacked shots and did not stage a hot scene.
Especially after the game between Manchester United and Arsenal last season, this game gave people a more boring feeling.
But this is not the worst!
Manchester City lost the game 2:3 against the newly promoted Cardiff City away!
This news can be said to have set off the entire British Isles.
The newly promoted team defeated the Premier League champion seed team at home!
But this is the Premier League!
Fierce confrontation, the results of the game can never be captured.
The fans who eat melons said that it has a taste!
