Chapter 369: The Age of Youth
Cardiff Millennium Stadium, Campbell sitting sullenly on the bench.
He has recovered from injury and has shown Arsene Wenger that he is back in form in the final two rounds of the Premier League.
However, the choice of the professor was still Senderos, and the Swiss youngster was so impressed during Campbell's recovery from injury that the professor was reluctant to give up the youngster, who has already been hailed as the "new Adams" by the media.
"Sendros?" Zhan Jun read this somewhat familiar and somewhat unfamiliar name, and didn't remember who he was for a while.
On the other side, Huang Jianxiang took the draft that the staff had just handed over and began to relieve Zhan Jun.
"Senderos, a young Swiss youngster! Born in 1985, one year younger than Tang Wu! ”
"Although he has only shown his strength this season, Senderos has become famous as a teenager."
In 2002, at the age of 17, Senderos captained the Swiss team to the European Youth Championship in Denmark. After joining Arsenal in the summer of 2003, he has been plagued by injuries and has only really settled into the competition this season. ”
"The professor has always groomed him as Campbell's successor, and judging from today's competition, it is clear that the professor has succeeded!"
After seeing Senderos kill in time to resolve the crisis, the professor's face saw a smile again.
There's no denying that Sir Alex Ferguson has invited a number of youngsters to Carrington's training base, but not everyone has stayed. Among them, Senderos is the winner of the competition between the professor and Ferguson.
The height of 1.90 meters, coupled with his burly figure, makes this 20-year-old a first-class card in the professor's hand.
And the Swiss teenager brought the professor more than that, Senderos, who knows five Chinese, can be said to be a scholar, and Tang Wu can only speak five languages at his age.
And Senderos trains hard and has great ambitions, which are all plus points for him under Arsene Wenger.
Now, the young general trained by the professor's strength was standing in front of the arrows of the Red Army, and there was no fear on his face.
"We've got a tough guy to deal with!" Benitez also scratched his head, and with just a split second steal, he saw some clues.
It's rare for a player to squeeze away from Cice, who is running at high speed, and complete a steal, not to mention that he is so young.
However, after exclamation, Benitez also immediately discovered Senderos's shortcomings.
This big guy is too slow to turn around!
After he cut off Cisse's ball, he turned around at a speed visible to the naked eye and handed it to his team-mate on the wing.
Fortunately, there was only Cisse who was squeezed out of the way by his side, otherwise, with such a turning speed, it would be enough to be tackled twice by that kind of little fast spirit.
But despite the flaws, Senderos's wonderful performance still won praise from a group of gun fans.
In today's world where talent is vitality, Gunners fans seem to see a more exciting future for Arsenal.
"That's a good kid!" Thierry Henry, who was at the front, also sighed, he didn't want to serve again before the end of the game.
"It's the world of young people now, it's time for an old guy like me to quit!" Bergkamp smiled as well.
"Oh, Dennis, don't say that!" Henry waved his hand repeatedly, "You can't leave so soon, we need you, Arsenal need you..."
"No, Thierry." Bergkamp shook his head and said with a determined look in his eyes: "What Arsenal need is you!" You're the backbone of Arsenal, you're the soul of the Gunners. ”
'The fans need you, the coaches need you, the team-mates need you.
"In an important game like today, only if you step up and lead everyone first, we can win."
"Don't forget, we've got the toughest goalkeeper in the Premier League!" After Bergkamp finished speaking, he pointed to Tang Wu on the other side of the field, "That kid's goal is not easy to break, he has six fingers on his left hand!" ”
Henry also nodded after hearing Bergkamp's words, and it seemed that he also agreed with the Ice Prince's words.
In the Premier League, there is one thing that almost everyone knows: one more finger, one more guarantee!
Tang Wu's door is surprisingly difficult to break, and it has become the consensus of the forwards of all teams.
In the 45th minute, Vieira broke through Traore's defense on the left side and dribbled all the way to the baseline.
In the face of Carragher's supplementary defense, the Gunners captain suddenly picked up a left-footed cross, and the ball flew over the heads of Carragher and Hyypia and flew towards the back of the Reds penalty area.
From 5 yards out, Thierry Henry's header was saved by Tang Wufei, who arrived in time, to end the Gunners' last chance to score in the half.
After the second half of the rematch, the Gunners' attack did not stop.
Senderos' aggressive scramble has provided the Gunners with a temporary solid backline, and the 20-year-old even has the power to provide an assist. As a result, the pressure on the Reds' midfielders has also increased.
In the 48th minute, Reyes crossed from the right, and Cesc Fabregas outflanked the middle.
The young Xiaofa swung his leg directly in the face of the incoming ball and volleyed.
The ball turned 90 degrees on the pitch and flew like a bullet to the Liverpool goal.
Except for Gerrard, who was closer, made a blocking move, no other defender reacted.
With a bang, a pair of green and white gloves blocked the ball in front of the ball, and firmly held the heavy cannon outside the penalty area in his arms.
Tang Wu, who moved laterally, made a goalkeeper textbook save in Cardiff Stadium, whether it was the choice of position or the timing of the save, or the movement of the body or even the fall to the ground.
Such a powerful blow to the mountain and the tiger was resolved by Tang Wu with the saving posture that he had trained countless times on weekdays.
The young Xiaofa looked helplessly at Tang Wu, who was holding the ball firmly in his arms, and also sighed.
I have been here for more than a year, and I have been full of ambition at the beginning to "fearful" now.
Tang Wu seemed to always run ahead of him, and when he caught up with him, he ran farther away.
"Don't be discouraged boy." Bergkamp patted Cesc Fabregas on the shoulder, "You're still young, you're going to break through his door one day." ”
In the face of the encouragement of the old-timers, Xiaofa's face did not show a trace of joy, but asked rhetorically: "Dennis, I met a goalkeeper who can predict the future." ”
"Then you will strive to see a farther future than him!" Bergkamp said earnestly: "If you can't hold yourself to a higher standard, you'll be eliminated by your peers sooner or later." ”
"I see, Dennis, I'll try to do it."
Xiaofa nodded, raised his arms and ran towards the backcourt.
In the microphone of the stadium, the voice of the live announcer sounded again.
“... What a great save! So far, Tosuke has saved 8 shots from Arsenal..."
