Chapter 34: Fabregas
After beating Birmingham City 2-0 away, Arsenal have won six consecutive league games. It is worth mentioning that Arsenal have climbed to second place in the league table with 42 points at the top of the table - Chelsea, who were originally in second place, were beaten by a goal at home to underdogs Stoke City, and the two teams are equal on points, and Arsenal beat the Blues by goal difference.
Manchester United, who are at the top of the table, staged a strong dialogue with the Red Army Liverpool in this round of the league, and the final result was 0:0, after 90 minutes of fierce competition, no one could take the other. Because of the draw, Manchester United have only one point in this round of the league, although they are still ahead of Arsenal, but the lead is only three points, and the gap is gradually narrowing.
The league is only halfway through, and the difference of one goal is no longer a corner, and if you are not careful, Arsenal will have a chance to complete the overtake.
The English media was shocked, and all the news media felt the fierce stalemate atmosphere in the Premier League this season, and some media even had high hopes for Arsenal this season, believing that the Gunners were likely to end their embarrassing six-year title absence this season.
For Arsenal, closing the gap between the top of the table is indeed a happy event, and what makes manager Arsene Wenger even more excited is that Cesc Fabregas, the captain and central midfielder of the team who has been absent for more than two months due to injury, has finally returned from injury and has begun training with the team and is expected to play in the next round of the league. This is undoubtedly a relief for Arsenal, which is currently stretched in the thickness of the bench.
Qin Shou didn't know much about Fabregas, after all, when he was on loan to Arsenal, Fabregas had left the team injured and had been recuperating in Spain. He only chatted with his teammates once in a while and heard his friends talk about the Spaniard. Knowing that he is the current captain of the team, as well as the midfield commander.
As for the rest, Qin Shou doesn't know more, and he is not interested in knowing, even if the two are also midfielders, but Qin Shou believes that his current main job is defense, while Fabregas is more responsible for the team's offensive organization, and the positions of the two do not conflict, even if the other party returns, it will not affect his main position.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Qin Shou came to the Kearney training base early as always, at this time there was still more than half an hour before the team officially started training, and the training ground was still deserted at this time in the past, but today when Qin Shou changed his training equipment and came out, he saw several figures doing warm-up activities on the field.
Qin Shou raised his eyes and looked, several of them he was very familiar with, such as Van Persie, Bendtner, etc., these players did not have a good relationship with him, and they could even be regarded as nervous, if it weren't for the fact that they were playing at Arsenal, maybe they would have fought several times a long time ago.
This made Qin Shou feel extremely surprised, he had been at Arsenal for so long, and he had never seen Van Persie and others come to the training ground in advance, every time they came with a pinch, it seemed that they would not appear until the last second. Today is a real surprise.
When Qin Shou was amazed, his eyes were attracted by the young man surrounded by Van Persie and others, with black hair and bright eyes, the whole person looked full of energy, like a college student who had just walked out of school. At the moment, the young man was jumping and squatting, laughing and chatting with his teammates around him while doing warm-up activities.
Qin Shou was slightly stunned, and then suddenly realized that this very energetic sunny boy must be the current captain of the team, Francisco. Francesc Fabregas.
Qin Shou hesitated for a moment, hesitating whether he should go up and say hello. Although I have never had contact before, we are teammates after all, and it doesn't seem polite to meet without greeting. And the reason why Qin Shou hesitated was because it seemed that the relationship between the captain, who had never met him, and Van Persie and the others seemed to be very good, and the relationship between himself and several of them was very tense, if he rashly stepped forward, what would be the other party's attitude? Will you just ignore yourself? Or is it just a bit of cynicism? Qin Shou is very clear about his temper, in case one of them doesn't hold back, he beats the current captain of the team at the first meeting, wouldn't it be good?
Just when Qin Shou was thinking nonsense, several people on the field also noticed Qin Shou off the field, only to see Fan Persie pointing in the direction of Qin Shou, and talking to the sunshine boy softly, the latter nodded, moved his mouth a few times, and then slowly walked over to this side.
Surrounded by Van Persie and others, the Sunshine Boy stood still in front of Qin Shou, and the former looked at Qin Shou fixedly, and after a long time, he withdrew his scrutinizing gaze.
"Your name is Qin?"
Although he was very young, his tone was unusually calm, but Qin Shou could hear a hint of a different taste. The other party's scrutinizing gaze before made him feel a little uncomfortable, and although his words at this moment were flat, they had a condescending meaning, which made Qin Shou even more unhappy.
Qin Shou, who believes in "people respect me for a foot, I respect people for a foot", looked at each other unceremoniously, nodded lightly, and did not speak.
"Chinese boy, what is your attitude when the captain talks to you?" Bendtner played the role of "dog leg" very well, and when he saw Qin Shou's ignorant look, he immediately shouted as if he had exploded.
And several teammates around him looked at Qin Shou with dissatisfaction.
Qin Shou still stared at Fabregas fixedly, ignoring Bendtner's questioning, and even glancing at the other party's interest.
"You kid......" Seeing Qin Shou looking like he was completely regarded as air, Bendtner immediately felt a surge of anger in his heart, his eyes widened, and he reached out to pull Qin Shou's collar.
"Yo, why are you in a pile early in the morning, what's the situation?"
In the distance, Walcott's startled voice came abruptly. Qin Shou grinned, and when he turned his head, he saw Walcot, Koscielny and the others walking towards this side.
And Bendtner, who wanted to do it, also saw a group of people coming over from the opposite side, a trace of jealousy flashed on his face, and he looked at Van Persie and others who were giving him a look, and finally could only retreat into the crowd unwillingly.
"Good morning, Theo."
"Good morning, guys."
"You're here so early, Qin?"
After saying hello, Walcott put his arm around Qin Shou's shoulders and whispered, "This group of guys is here to find fault again?" Nothing, right? ”
"It's okay, little thing." Qin Shou replied with a chuckle, the corners of his mouth facing the side.
Walcoat saw Fabregas standing in the crowd opposite, he was stunned for a moment, and suddenly grinned: "Ha, Francisco? Aren't you recuperating at home? Why did you come back so soon? Ha, don't hold on, go home for treatment if you're sick, don't drag, everything is fine for the team now, you don't have to work so hard. ”
Walcott's words were sarcastic, and several people on the other side were already angry, but Fabregas still looked calm, with a smile on his face, as if he hadn't heard the other party's ridicule, and said lightly: "Long time no see, Theo." Good morning. ”
"Good morning."
The so-called reaching out and not hitting the smiling person, although there was a sense of depression when a punch hit the cotton, Walcott had to nod and greet the other party. It was only at the moment when Qin Shou turned his head at Walcot that he heard the black friend muttering in a voice like a mosquito ant, "hypocrisy".
Fabregas didn't care about Walcott's attitude, nodded and then turned his head to Qin Shou: "Hello, Qin, I'm Fabregas, Francisco." Cesc Fabregas is the current captain of the team. ”
"Hello, Captain." Qin Shou nodded, but the word captain bit extremely hard.
Captain? Isn't that remarkable? I'm not your subordinate, so you don't have to show off your identity in front of me!
Cesc Fabregas smiled: "I've heard of you, you've been doing really well lately. But ......," the Sunshine Boy continued, "and now that I'm back, I'll lead the team on." ”
After speaking, he nodded, turned his head and walked back to the field, and continued to warm up. And Van Persie and others naturally followed quickly.
"What's the matter?"
Looking at Fabregas's figure, Walcourt pouted disdainfully.
"It's really arrogant." Qin Shou smiled, but he didn't care about Fabregas's provocative words just now.
"Let me tell you, Qin, all of them are very arrogant, and they think that the team can't play without them, as if they are superior." Walcott said to Qin Shou, "I don't deny Francisco's ability, he is really important to the team, but every time I see him think he is high, I get angry." Hey, they're all kickers, or teammates on the same team, who are you doing this to show you? What a great thing you are! ”
Hearing this, Koscielny and the others nodded approvingly.
Qin Shou didn't say anything more, he greeted a few friends, and then several people stepped on the training ground together, doing warm-up activities for the upcoming training.
