Chapter 428: The young general's debut
On 10 August, the Premier League begins before the Community Shield, a match between the Super League winners and the FA Cup winners. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Fans see the Community Shield as a dessert before the start of the league season, which is officially about to begin after a summer break.
This year's Community Shield is played by Arsenal against Manchester City, and Li Guo did not see Li Heng last time, so this time it is just the right time to take a look.
But Li Guo estimates that it should be difficult for Li Heng to start, but in a less important game like the Community Shield, Li Heng still has a chance to come off the bench.
At Arsenal's training base, Li Guo saw Li Heng, who had officially worn the No. 24 jersey and became a member of Arsenal, but looking at the color of the vest, he was still a substitute.
After the last meeting, Li Guo became a friend of Arsene Wenger, so he can now come and go freely at the Arsenal training base, and Wenger has a feeling that Li Guo may be able to bring money, a lot of money, investment from China.
Li Heng has already seen Li Guo, and Li Guo also turned on the coaching assistance system and glanced at Li Heng, Li Heng's ability value is 77, and the potential value is 85, although he is not as good as Zhou Dun, but he is also a very good central defender, what he lacks now is court experience.
Taking advantage of a water break, Li Heng ran to the side of the court, "Head, look at me wearing a new jersey, No. 24." ”
Li Heng's original number was No. 6, but in the first team, this number belonged to the Frenchman Koscielny, so Li Heng could only choose a higher number.
"Yes, you will wear number 24 in the national team in the future."
"Hmm."
"By the way, the Community Shield match the day after tomorrow, can you play?"
Speaking of which, Li Heng, who was originally smiling, put away his smile, he did not enter the starting lineup, in the selection of central defenders, the professor used Koscielny to partner Chambers, but Li Heng entered the squad.
"Why are you sad, it's very good to be on the list, at least it's better than Miyaichi."
Li Heng smiled slightly and nodded, if Li Guo didn't come to see it, then it would be good to be in the squad, but the head coach of the national team was on the scene, and Li Heng really didn't want to sit on the bench.
Li Guo wanted to comfort the young man in front of him, and said softly: "It's okay, there are still 2 days, maybe the two of them will suffer a small injury or something, then you just have a chance." ”
Poof, "Head, you can't be so immoral, we're teammates, didn't you say you have to be a team?" ”
Li Guo smiled evilly: "Haha, can't I be joking?" ”
Two days later, when Li Guo was about to rush to the pitch in a taxi, he heard the latest news on the radio that England teenager Chambers would miss the Community Shield due to a cold, and Chinese teenager Li was substituted.
"Damn, my crow's beak succeeded?" Li Guo was a little unbelievable, this crow's beak kung fu could be compared to Bailey.
But this kind of sudden opportunity to play is also a double-edged sword, not necessarily a good thing, such as the tactics formulated before the game, Li Heng must not have participated in the drill much, don't play it badly when the time comes, after all, there are very few players like Zhou Dun who are born with a big heart.
*****
When the camera swept over Li Heng, he could clearly feel his nervousness, although he had been dreaming of this day, but when this day really came, he realized that the pressure was huge.
After the start of the game, Lee Heng looked at his teammates from time to time - Polish goalkeeper Szczesny and central defender partner Koscielny.
Maintaining the position with his teammates, this is the principle he learned when he was in the academy, which should have been integrated into Li Heng's blood, but because of nervousness, Li Heng has been silently reciting this in his heart.
"Lee, pay attention to Dzeko's position," Koscielny, the big brother in the backline, yelled at Lee Hyung.
Li Heng nodded.
But on City's first cross from the wing, Lee Hyung went over the top and the ball was met by Dzeko from behind, but it went high.
Martin Taylor, the British commentator at the scene, joked: "Arsenal's former central defender "Lee" behaved like a piece of wood in this ball, I originally thought that in China, the surname Li is very strong, what Bruce Lee, Jet Li's, but this Li is a bit bad. ”
Szczesny saw this situation and felt the same way, he was sent off in his first European Championship as a Polish international, which was the 2012 European Championship held in Poland, so how difficult it is to be a newcomer, Szczesny understands.
He walked over and patted Li Heng, "Just like when you were training, don't worry, even if you rise to the top, there will be me behind you." ”
Li Heng smiled, "Thank you." ”
At the end of the first half, it was Arsenal who took the lead, and Cazorla slammed a world wave into the Manchester City goal, probably because of the aftermath of the World Cup, and both teams were a little slow to heat up.
At halftime, Li Heng looked at the stand, but in the vast sea of people, Li Heng did not find Li Guo's figure.
"I don't know if the head will be disappointed in me," Lee Hyung knew that his performance in the first half was a bit out of order.
But at this time, Li Guo was buying popcorn in the stadium mall, and he didn't care about the first half of the game at all, because as a newcomer, such a performance was good, if he couldn't stand the pressure at all, wouldn't he have to kneel on the stage of the World Cup.
Li Guo was eating rice and chatting with the clerk chick, and soon 15 minutes passed, returned to his seat, and the second half began.
Perhaps Manchester City were in a hurry to equalise, and the attack in the second half was rough, so Lee Heng's defence was a little easier, and after a couple of successful clearances, the Arsenal fans gave Lee Heng a round of applause, which gave the lad a big boost in confidence.
Szczesny patted Li Heng again, "I'll just say you're okay, how about it?" Right? ”
Li Heng nodded.
Arsenal rode back in the second half, with two more goals from Aaron Ramsey and Olivier Giroud to win the 2014/2015 Community Shield 3-0 over Manchester City.
Although it was not a big competition, there was still a grand award ceremony, and Lee Hyung was very excited, this was the first time he had stepped on the podium and lifted the trophy, he used to watch his teammates do this on TV, but now it was his turn.
After the game, Li Guo saw Li Heng in the locker room, "The kid did a good job, he didn't embarrass me." ”
"Haha, head, when I first came on the field, my legs were weak."
"Normal, normal, if it were me, I guess I would have peed my pants."
"Hahaha."
Li Guo saw that the Arsenal players over there had already started to dance, so he pushed Li Heng, "Go, dance with them." ”
"But I won't!"
"Remember, football is a team sport and it's more important than anything else to be part of your team-mates, so you don't have to be cheeky."
Li Heng's heart was horizontal and he was about to go over, when Li Guo called out to him, "The last word, be ready for the call-up of the national team at any time." (To be continued.) )
