Chapter 87

"Van Persie didn't mean to catch the ball...... This time the attack, oh! No! Here's ...... Gold! It's very fast! ”

"The anti-offside was successful! Leng Fei instantly formed a single knife! There is also Van Persie by his side, or passing or shooting, it is an option! He Wei shouted, it was another great opportunity!

Facing Krull, Leng Fei shot directly with his feet!

Krul did his best to save, but it was too close for him to react at all, and the ball went into the net.

was about to celebrate the goal, the linesman's flag was suddenly raised, and at the same time, the referee also blew a whistle, signaling: The goal is invalid, offside!

"How is that possible?" This is Leng Fei's first reaction, and this anti-offside position is definitely a success!

The referee ran over and signalled that it was a Newcastle free-kick and the goal was disallowed.

Leng Fei immediately found the referee and questioned him, Van Persie, Arshavin and others also ran over and questioned the referee, but the referee told them very clearly that when Leng Fei shot the goal, Van Persie touched the ball, and at that time Van Persie was in front of Leng Fei, that is, in the offside position, so the ball was offside.

At this time, the slow-motion replay was also being displayed on the big screen of the stadium, and the moment Leng Fei shot the goal, it did rub Van Persie's thigh, but the feeling of changing the line was not strong, and it was difficult to say whether it was touched, which was a judgment that could be judged or not.

Leng Fei wanted to argue a few words, so Vermaelen stepped forward and patted Leng Fei: "Okay, I know you may be angry, but getting a yellow card for this is really worth the loss." ”

Leng Fei looked at Vermaelen, nodded helplessly, after he scored just now, he instantly felt that this debut was perfect, but he was messed up by that damn referee.

This time the goal was blown away, although the victory was not completely sealed, but Newcastle side basically had no intention of fighting, and they have basically accepted the fact that they lost the first game of the new season.

A few minutes later, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, and Arsenal visited St. James' Park Stadium, beating Newcastle 2:1 to win the first game of the new season.

After the game, the captains of the two teams were interviewed by the media separately, and Van Persie, as the captain, specifically mentioned Leng Fei.

'I've always regretted the goal that was blown away at the last minute, maybe it's my fault because I touched the ball...... Other than that, he was flawless, the ball he passed me? I feel like we've been friends for a few years, it's very comfortable and in my opinion, it's hard to get a pass like that. ”

Kolonic also expressed respect for Leng Fei's performance: "In this game, he performed perfectly, I can't believe that this is what a player who has just stepped onto the Premier League turf can show. ”

At the press conference, Wenger also praised Leng Fei's performance in the face of this mass media, and his first Premier League debut, he scored his first goal, his first assist, and even almost scored twice, which undoubtedly gave fans, coaches and media reasons to tout.

After a brief report on this game, the London Evening Standard focused on Leng Fei, the best player in this game, in addition to touting Leng Fei's performance on the field, Wenger's ability to discover new stars is another touting, looking at today's performance, Leng Fei will definitely become a superstar in the future, and he will definitely praise Leng Fei.

After the game, after Leng Fei finished everything, he returned home and started the "Superstar Development Plan", in this game, he felt that there were many opportunities created for his teammates, and he also had a goal and an assist, so he should be able to get the mysterious "skill reward" in the "Superstar Development Plan", right?

After eagerly opening it, Leng Fei immediately received the reward, this time the reward did not have any attribute rewards, only one skill: the son of the wind.

Son of the Wind? It's a little interesting, Leng Fei looked at the details of the skill: On the football field, what is the most basic and important thing for a player? Speed, of course! Whether it is a striker, a midfielder, a winger, a defender, or even a goalkeeper, they all need speed, enable skills, explosiveness +5, speed +5, duration 5 seconds, and limit it once in three games.

It's good, as the explanation of skills says, on the football field, speed is a very important thing, sometimes, the speed of 0.1 second faster than the opponent is likely to determine the outcome of a game, maybe a little exaggerated, but enough to show the importance of speed to football.

So...... When to use it? Leng Fei looked at the schedule of the game, on August 17, the first leg of the UEFA Champions League qualifying round, the opponent is a team from the Italian Football League, Udinese, and then there is the second leg of the game, these two games are related to whether Arsenal can participate in the Champions League, must win, but the middle of August 20 is also interspersed with the home game against Liverpool, and then followed by the Manchester United battle at Old Trafford, that is to say, one by one, Arsenal's opponents in the last five games are: Newcastle, Udinese, Liverpool, Udinese, Manchester United.

What a headache for the schedule...... Leng Fei sighed, even if he is not the head coach, he not only has a headache for such a schedule, a Newcastle has already made Leng Fei do his best to barely win, so what about Liverpool? What about Manchester United? The schedule of this new season is really a bit cheating.

In these games, the most difficult game is undoubtedly the away game against Manchester United, Liverpool is okay, after all, it is home, and over the years, the state of the Red Army has continued to be sluggish, not particularly tricky, Leng Fei debuted that season, he also played against Liverpool, and even scored, but Manchester United is different, not only the first time, but Leng Fei vaguely remembers the result of the original game, which is a game that all gun fans can not look back on, and it is also one of the games that all Red Devils fans are most proud of.

…………………………………………………………………………………………

The next day, Leng Fei went downstairs to pick up the newspaper, although he did not subscribe, but he also knew that there are many newspapers and periodicals here in the UK that are free, and there are many newspapers coming from home every day, anyway, there is no money, and there are not many things at home, Leng Fei has developed the habit of reading newspapers.

Of course, he still reads the most about sports newspapers, yesterday's London Evening Standard, the headline of the sports page was a photo of Leng Fei and Van Persie celebrating a goal, next to it: Chinese rookie broke out, Arsenal won a good start!

Hehe, which reporter took the photo, not bad...... Leng Fei cut out the huge photo on the newspaper, then found one of his drawers, put it in, and looked inside, there were "International Football", "Amsterdam Evening News", "The Times", in short, there are many newspapers and magazines about sports, but most of them are clips one by one, and the protagonist on it is without exception the guy who is proudly putting the cut newspaper into the drawer.

After eating, look at the time, there is still a little time to report to the training base, you can rest, Leng Fei sat down, picked up the newspaper next to him and continued to read.

Turning it over, I saw the news in the transfer market, this morning, the official website of Barcelona has announced the Arsenal captain, Sesc Fabregas has officially transferred to Barcelona, the medical examination has been completed in the first two days, and the transfer procedures have also been completed, the transfer fee is 34 million euros, according to the floating clause in the transfer terms, the transfer fee can reach up to 40 million euros.

Leng Fei just glanced at this news, after all, he had known about it for a long time, to be honest, although Fabregas's departure will definitely greatly weaken Arsenal's strength, but Leng Fei was not impressed by this, because whether it was in a training match or a pre-season friendly match, or the last game against Newcastle, Fabregas almost never cooperated with him for even a minute, he also knew that Fabregas passed the ball accurately and sharply, his ability to shoot and score was not bad, and his ability to control the midfield was very strong, But after all, I don't have an intuitive feeling.

Flipped, another piece of transfer news about Arsenal players, is about Nasri, in yesterday's post-match press conference, there were also reporters asked Wenger about Nasri's transfer, Wenger vaguely pointed out that the next game, the fourth round of the Champions League qualifiers, Nasri is likely to play, this sentence means that Nasri will represent Arsenal in the Champions League, and after representing Arsenal in the Champions League, even if he transfers to those teams that have scandals with him (in fact, he has insisted on it until now, Only Manchester City remain interested, Chelsea have withdrawn from the race) and cannot represent them in the Champions League, and if that is the case, Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini has also said that they will not bring in a player who cannot play in the Champions League.

Because it is another big move that Arsenal is likely to make after Cesc Fabregas, the whole page is analyzing the transfer possibilities of Nasri, and the Times has made it very clear that after Fabregas leaves, who will be able to organize Arsenal's midfield? Among them, the most powerful and famous, is undoubtedly the Frenchman Nasri.

"It's not like it's gone......" Leng Fei smiled, he wasn't very interested in these things that didn't have a sense of mystery, but to be honest, in training, Nasri also cooperated with him, the strength of the French is very strong, and the name of Zidane's successor is not in vain, especially his cold shot outside the penalty area, which is really unguardable.

After reading the newspaper, Leng Fei took the car to the Kearney training base, and when he paid the taxi driver, Leng Fei also remembered, should he learn to drive? It's a bit weird to train in a taxi every day.

Coming to the training ground, Leng Fei suddenly saw that the doorman of the training base not far away was talking to a person, no one on the training ground noticed the things next to him, Leng Fei felt that this figure was a little familiar, his eyesight was good, he rubbed his eyes, and he saw clearly, the person standing next to the doorman was actually Fabregas!

Isn't he supposed to be in Spain at this time? How did you run back?

Leng Fei was a little puzzled, and couldn't help but go over to confirm it.

At this time, Fabregas seemed to have finished talking to the goalkeeper, and walked to the training base alone, facing him, and a person walked over from a distance, Fabregas looked up, it was a player signed by the team last season, but because of the loan, Fabregas only saw Leng Fei for the third time today.

"Kim?" Cesc Fabregas shouted.

"Ah...... Captain......" Leng Fei hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Fabregas shook his head: "I'm not the captain anymore, just call me Sesk." ”

"So, Sesk, how do you ...... Still here? Isn't it time to go to Spain? Leng Fei asked.

"Europe is small, you know." Cesc Fabregas smiled, and Leng Fei realized that he actually came back from Spain, if you remember correctly, when a new player joins, there is usually a press conference, right? Will he have to rush back later?

"I watched yesterday's game, Kim, you did a great job." Cesc Fabregas gave a thumbs up, "Maybe without your words, we'...... Arsenal may not be able to take it at all, is Robin already captained? ”

Leng Fei nodded.

"I thought you were going to question me why I went back to Barcelona." Fabregas suddenly smiled bitterly, for some reason, although he had met the young Chinese man in front of him very rarely, and had only said less than 20 words before that, Fabregas felt very close to this junior, maybe it was the so-called "heroes cherish heroes", he saw his own past in Leng Fei.

"Why do you think I'm going to ask?" Leng Fei asked rhetorically.

Fabregas was stunned, looked at Leng Fei, and smiled, yes, although he joined Arsenal last season, but in fact he was just a new signing, he would actually ask him these questions, Fabregas sighed, there have been too many things that have happened to him recently, and his head is a little out of order.

"Do a good job, I hope to be able to fight you." Fabregas patted Leng Fei on the shoulder and said.

"So before the Champions League final, you don't want to be eliminated." Leng Fei said with a smile.

Fabregas glanced at Leng Fei with a slightly complicated face: "Let's go, I'll go see them." ”

Leng Fei and Cesc Fabregas walked outside the training pitch, and since training had not officially begun, the players were sitting and standing on the sidelines, mostly discussing what they had seen on Barcelona's official website this morning.

Ramsey and Robin van Persie had their backs to Cesc Fabregas and Leng Fei and were silently watching their teammates chatting without saying a word.

Walcoat walked over: "Why hasn't Kim come yet, ...... Isn't that the captain? ”

Ramsey waved his hand: "He has already gone to Spain, how can he come back at this time......"

Several people turned around and found Fabregas and Leng Fei standing on the edge of the training ground, looking at it.

Soon, the Arsenal players were all around, Fabregas is still very friendly to his teammates here, although the relationship with the club's senior management is a little tense because of the transfer, but the relationship with his teammates is still very good, even if he transferred to Barcelona, he still has contacts with friends here.

Fabregas came here and stayed for about ten minutes, he looked at his watch, Wenger was almost coming, Fabregas did not plan to wait until Wenger came, after all, it was still awkward to meet in this case, so ten minutes later, Fabregas said goodbye to his teammates.

Although some of the players still want to keep Fabregas, they also know that at this time, it will be more embarrassing for Wenger to meet Fabregas here, after all, this kind of thing is not acceptable to everyone, maybe Wenger is used to seeing such a scene, but who knows what the professor thinks in his heart?

Soon after, Arsene Wenger showed up on the sidelines of the training pitch on time, and the professor is a man who takes a lot of things seriously, even when he came to the training ground, so Cesc Fabregas found the right time to come to A.T. Kearney.

"I'm sure you all already know that Sesk has left the team." Arsene Wenger glanced at his players before fixing his gaze on Robin van Persie.

"This season, vice-captain Robin van Persie, officially captained by the team, vice-captain, Thomas Vermaelen, does anyone have an issue on that?" Arsene Wenger looked at the players around him.

No one spoke, it is no secret that these two men have become the team's captain and vice-captain in the dressing room, and Van Persie is also the most suitable and qualified player after Cesc Fabregas, and the captain is a matter of course.

Of course, this is just an internal notice from the team, and a press conference will be held after the new captain takes office, but this has little to do with Leng Fei, at most a few reporters will ask what they think of the new captain.

After the confirmation, the day's training began as usual, and Arsene Wenger began to introduce the players to their next opponent, the "black chicken" Udinese from the Italian Serie A, a team with a modest history, only three Italian second division titles and the now-cancelled International Toto Cup, and the British and Italian Cup (a special cup between England and Italy in the second division, which was cancelled back in 1995). Udinese won the championship in 1978. But the number of trophies can only represent a team's past, and now, Udinese is a true powerhouse in Serie A, and the team's number one star, Antonio Di Natale, is one of the few players in Serie A history who can defend the Serie A Golden Boot.

………………………………………………………………………………………………

At the end of the day's training, Arsene Wenger held a press conference to announce their new captain for the season and their outlook for the next game, and of course, the media still had to ask Wenger about Fabregas, but Wenger was much more relaxed when dealing with the media after Fabregas had already moved.

In addition, reporters are also staring at Wenger about Nasri's transfer issue, and after Cesc Fabregas, Wenger's biggest headache is probably his compatriot Nasri.

A few days later, Arsenal welcomed the first opponent of the Champions League at home, "Black Rooster" Udinese, this game, this is an important game related to whether the team can appear in the Champions League, Wenger attaches great importance to this, and the media also attaches great importance to this, but with the exception of the pro-Arsenal "London Evening Standard", most of the media pay attention to whether Nasri will appear in Arsenal's starting list.

Wenger didn't take out his list in advance, but left the suspense to the end, don't you media want to know, the more you want to know, the more I want you to wait, the professor has been a little troubled by a series of recent events, and he can't help but lose his temper.

Eventually, when the players from both sides came out, the reporters realized that Nasri was going to transfer, and in this game, the Frenchman was not even on the bench, and if it was soon, he might have already arrived in Manchester.

Next, some reporters stopped watching the game and went back directly to the topic: Nasri transferred to Manchester City, and Arsenal lost another big player in the midfield!

During this time, in addition to preparing for the game and negotiating the transfer fee of the player, the professor has a more important thing to do, which is to bring in reinforcements, this season, Arsenal has almost no shots, but Nasri and Fabregas, as well as Klich have earned a total of more than 60 million euros in transfer fees for the team, and Wenger will also consider bringing in reinforcements.

It was a dull game, Udinese focused on defense, wanted to win a draw at the Emirates Stadium, and then returned to their home stadium to find a way, Arsenal did not dare to rush to press, you must know that the local big man Di Natale is a good player for a quick counter-attack, but they also need a victory, the two sides are meeting for the first time in history, and can only control the situation on the pitch to find opportunities to score.

Until the 70 minutes of the second half, the atmosphere on the pitch remained unchanged, and the fans were almost asleep.

Football is a magical thing, maybe it's not a shock at the moment, but the next moment, anyone can create something exciting.

Song's long pass in the midfield, this long pass is very sudden, because the Cameroonian midfielder has the impression that he is a sharp defender, but he is not a suitable midfield commander, but I didn't expect the African player to be able to suddenly send such a beautiful long pass.

Chamak caught up with the ball, did not wait for the ball to land, and directly volleyed, the ball hit the post hard, because the attack came too quickly, Udinese goalkeeper Handanovic did not react at all, and by the time he moved, the ball had bounced back into the box.

In an instant, there was chaos in the penalty area, you fought for me, and finally the Udinese players kicked the ball and cleared it with a big foot.

Song got the ball outside, in fact, because the penalty area was too chaotic, Ping Qi didn't kick the ball away, Song calmly looked at the situation on the court, and suddenly saw that not far away, a person was waving frequently to ask for the ball.

Song didn't hesitate and passed the ball over, and no matter what, Song saw that the man was in a good position and unmarked.
