Chapter 4 Three Months
"Unfortunately, despite our efforts, the bad news is still coming. We have to tell all Arsenal fans that yesterday Francisco confirmed his move to La Liga side Barcelona. In the new season, we will lose the captain of the team. But I would say that it's not time to despair, believe in the club, believe in the team, believe in Mr. Wenger, we will still be very competitive in the league. Here, blessings to Francisco and thank him for everything he has done for the team. Good luck to him! ”
"It's really disheartening news that following Francesco's decision to transfer, Alexander has also made the news of a move to Barcelona. In other words, almost at the same time, we will lose two key players in midfield. We can't interfere with the decisions of the players and again, all we can say is thank you for everything you have done for the team. Good luck! ”
Time flies quickly, and while the MLS is still in full swing, the major European leagues have been over for almost a month. While many players were still enjoying the holiday, two such news suddenly appeared on Arsenal's official website, like two stones thrown into a calm lake, which set off a huge storm among Arsenal fans.
"Oh my God, what the hell is going on? Why did Francisco leave? ”
"Alexandre also moved to Barcelona!"
"I've known for a long time that these two guys are white-eyed wolves that can't be raised...... In the past few seasons, the scandal about Francisco and Barcelona has never stopped, and I knew that there would be such a day! ”
"But...... After these two players left, Arsenal's main central axis was almost empty! I can't imagine what a terrible situation the team will face next season! ”
"I suddenly missed Qin ...... It would be nice if he was still on the team! ”
"Aren't these two white-eyed wolves at odds with Qin? Force Qin away, and then run away on your own? It's so damning! Shame on you! ”
"I'm ashamed to have been a fan of these two guys!"
Countless gun fans around the world were inexplicably indignant at these two transfer news and scolded one after another, but they couldn't change any facts. A mood called despair began to creep in the hearts of all gun fans.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Qin Shou didn't see the two official messages suddenly sent by Arsenal, although he has always paid attention to the movements of the Arsenal club, but he only knows that after the season, Arsenal is only fourth in the standings, and can get the ticket to the Champions League in the new season.
It is ironic that the contenders for the league title have turned into contenders for Champions League qualification.
Qin Shou's attention is only there, although Arsenal has a strange place in his heart, he is not a Gunners player now. Everything about Arsenal seems to have nothing to do with him.
And when the news was suddenly released on Arsenal's official website, the United States on the other side of the world was playing a professional match against the New York Red Bulls and Real Salt Lake City.
Real Salt Lake City is also an old powerhouse in the MLS, but now the New York Red Bulls are a lone team in the league, the league has been going on for three months, the Red Bulls have not suffered a single defeat, and now they have 14 games, 11 wins and 3 draws, and they are in the first half of the league with 36 points, and the gap between them and the second-placed team is a full 7 points. With this unstoppable momentum, Red Bull have a good chance of winning the semi-divisions after the regular season and even making a big difference in the playoffs.
The New York Red Bulls' outstanding results are inseparable from Qin Shou's performance, and Qin Shou ranks third in the goal list, scoring 12 goals. At the top of his list are Thierry Henry and Gary Cahill, who have scored 17 and 14 goals respectively. As a midfielder, Qin Shou's goalscoring ability can be called terrifying.
In the assist list, Qin Shou topped the list with 14 assists. Only halfway through the regular season, Qin Shou has already contributed so many assists, and it is conceivable that after the regular season, Qin Shou's assist statistics will be even more beautiful.
Scoring goals and assists at the same time, Qin Shou's state can be described as hot. Qin Shou's crazy performance has also attracted many fans for him in the American mainland, and now he can be regarded as a star player in the American League, and in the National 11 Awards just this past May, Qin Shou was once again shortlisted - this is the second time he has been elected. Just over three months after his return, he entered the best 11 twice, and Qin Shou can be said to be a unique scenery for a while.
The strength of Real Salt Lake City is not bad, but when it meets the New York Red Bulls led by Qin Shou, it can only bow down.
The game entered the second half, the score on the field was already 3:0, Qin Shou, Henry and Cahill scored one goal, and the opponent had no temper.
Towards the end of the game, Qin Shou made a series of beautiful breakthroughs in the front court, winning a set-piece opportunity for the team. When Qin Shou stood in front of the football, the fans at home immediately cheered excitedly. And the commentator at the scene couldn't help but jump excitedly.
"Free kick! Free kick in front! It is about 28 meters away from the goal, this position is just right, this is Qin's favorite range! ”
"Ha, after the start of the new season, Qin took three free kicks, and all three free kicks were exchanged for goals! The accuracy of Qin's free kick is really nothing to say! ”
"Let's wait and see! Fans are invited to open their hands and mouths wide – cheer for the upcoming goal! ”
The fans cheered, then cooperatively stood up from their seats, spread their hands, and looked into the stadium with unblinking eyes, as if they were ready to cheer for the goal.
In an inconspicuous corner of the stands, an inch-haired man in a trench coat with a somewhat vicious face was startled by the sudden movements of the fans at the scene, and then shocked by the wildness and heat of the fans here.
Isn't it true that soccer isn't the favorite sport of the American people? Doesn't that mean the football atmosphere here isn't fanatical at all?
"Bullshit!"
The man in the trench coat spat the ground, if this atmosphere is not fanatical, then there will be no crazy fans in the world!
"Don't be surprised, Diego, it's true that football isn't the most popular sport in the United States. But......," said an old man in a suit who sat beside him, smiling, "this is an exception. The appearance of Qin made all the people here fall in love with this passionate sport! Qin, he led the way all over New Jersey! ”
If Qin Shou was here, he would definitely recognize the old man who spoke as his agent Anderson.
The middle-aged man named Diego nodded thoughtfully: "Qin's performance is indeed very good, watching him play football, it is easy to make people feel excited." ”
"That's it! Qin was born to be a leader! He was born with the ability to drive people crazy! ”
Anderson went out of his way to brag about the players under his command, and he didn't know if Qin Shou was really as good as he said he was, or if he was just selling for the sake of selling.
Diego nodded seriously in agreement.
When he first started to pay attention to Qin Shou, the Chinese kid was still playing for Arsenal, and his excellent running and interception ability made Diego's heart pound. In his team building ideas, such a "scavenger" is exactly what the team needs. However, as he got to know better, Diego was even more surprised, in his opinion, in addition to defense, in offense, Qin Shou's talent was even more. The organization, the big picture, the passing, the goal...... The Chinese player seems to be capable of anything.
Where is this a scavenger like Makelele, who is clearly a free man like Mateus. The so-called free man does not need to give him a specific position, he will go to the position where he should go according to the situation of the game. With the progress of the times, various tactics have emerged one after another, and since Matthaus, the name "free man" has rarely been mentioned. Because as a free agent, you need a high ball quotient, and you need the team to give him a high degree of freedom. In today's football, where the speed of offensive and defensive switching is extremely fast, no one will do this, and no one dares to do this, because if one is not careful, the "free man" will not play well, it will be like invisibility, and the team will face the dilemma of one less person to fight. Today, when the team is becoming more and more militarized and regularized, the "free man" is no longer popular, and it can be said that he has been eliminated.
But Diego doesn't think so, there are no outdated tactics, there are no tactics that will never be solved, modern football should go with the flow, but also not forget the classics. In his heart, being able to win is the best tactic, and nothing else matters.
During the period when Qin Shou returned to the United States, Diego never gave up his attention to Qin Shou. The better Qin Shou's performance, the more eager his mind became, and he couldn't wait to take Qin Shou under his command.
Although Qin Shou had rejected him and his team, he would not give up, and this time, he must take Qin Shou away, even if it costs a huge amount of money.
"I want to get him! My team needs such a knowledgeable and all-round player! He will be the most important part of the team's re-emergence against the world's biggest clubs! ”
Thinking like this, Diego couldn't help but stand up, open his hands and mouth wide like tens of thousands of home fans in the stadium, ready to cheer at any time.
On the field, as soon as the referee's whistle fell, Qin Shou began to run, and the next moment, the football crossed a beautiful arc in the air and fell straight into the goal.
Qin Shou raised his arms and cheered, his face full of brilliance. The Red Bull players swarmed around him for a long time.
"He is like a king, overlooking all living beings and ruling the world!"
This sentence flashed through Diego's mind, and there were already countless fans around him cheering wildly. Diego also vibrated his arms and cheered.
Beside him, Anderson smiled slightly, looked at Qin Shou on the court, and applauded lightly - Qin, it's time to go back. Go where you should go the most, go, conquer everything!
