Chapter 117: Clues
When Big Ben in London rang the New Year's bell, 1998 came to an end. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
So much has happened in the year for the family.
There is brilliance, there is helplessness; There is excitement, there is sadness; There is warmth, there is regret. It's been a fulfilling year, but it's also put the heart on the brink of danger. It's a harvest year, but there's no time to stop and taste the fruits of victory. It's been a fantastic year for young people; For those who are older, this is a year of joy and worry.
For Youmo, the rapid sprint in the first half of the year brought an unprecedented explosion. Although the outside world regrets that he did not appear in the World Cup in France, his family knows his own affairs, and such a sprint is all-round and overloaded for the body.
Fortunately, the Football Association thinks that it has the capital to be called for it, and it is stubborn, otherwise he would be blind even if he went to France.
The team is unfamiliar, the environment is unfamiliar, the body is full of criticism, and his own condition is not good, and under these negative influences, Superman will not be able to fly.
That is, knowing this, not only did he not slack off in the slightest throughout the summer, but practiced more and more comprehensively than before.
Strength, physical fitness, flexibility, agility, explosiveness, nervous reactions, and training with the ball, these are the skills he relies on to survive.
He is well aware that for professional athletes, fame means higher requirements and lower tolerance for error, and the slightest laxity can trigger a butterfly effect, or even slide downwards at a visible speed like dominoes.
It's a pity that football is never an individual sport, and even if you are prepared for everything, you will still be able to do things on your head.
After the club's record transfer price, Arsenal won the double. Not only did the chemistry not happen, but the original conflict in the locker room became sharpened by his arrival.
Judging from the performance on the field and various statistics, his half-season performance at Arsenal was barely qualified. He has scored 10 goals in 17 games in all competitions, averaging one goal every 124 minutes. That efficiency was nowhere near as good as his horrific 78-minute goal at Kaiserslautern. But for an 18-year-old first-year Premier League freshman, it's a perfectly acceptable number.
However, the fighting power of a team is not limited to the strength of the cards. His ability to be a leader who was once rumored to be a good talker has not played much role in the past six months, but it is the brawl that was exposed by the media some time ago that has had a devastating impact, so that his every move is now under a magnifying glass and colored glasses.
For 1999, a year with mixed emotions but full of longing, the burden on his shoulders is heavier.
France are in a state of distraction, Nicolas Anelka's departure is imminent, and the team has added a world-class goalkeeper for the first time in the winter window. There could be no reinforcements from other positions. As the team's strongest firepower at the moment, the pressure to score will be far greater than in the first half of the season.
Arsenal are still in the fourth-tier battle, the league and FA Cup need to be defended, the Champions League needs to be broken through, and the only chicken rib League Cup has reached the semi-finals. With such a high-intensity, high-intensity frequency of competition, and no winter break, his physical fitness and will will face a severe test.
The frontrunner is not easy to be. Especially when the pursuers are fast and full of strength, the feeling of being on the back is not something that everyone can bear. This team is nowhere near as cohesive as any he's been to before. This invisibly increased his burden.
And then there's the old buddies.
Fan Zhiyi, Sun Jihai, Yang Chen, these three he can let go, Zhang Xiaorui, Li Jingyu. Li Tie, Sui Dongliang, Li Jian, these five cannot be ignored by him, even if he can't observe them on the spot. First-hand knowledge is also essential.
"Director Yan was so happy when he heard that you were coming back to play the Asian Cup, I could imagine him grinning and smirking from a distance of 108,000 miles!"
During the family banquet in the solar calendar, Wang Dan put down the hot mobile phone receiver and smiled from ear to ear.
Although there is still a full year and ten months, her mind has already flown over thousands of mountains and rivers, reaching the place where she has loved, hated, and haunted in her dreams.
And the people there.
"Ah, I forgot to talk to that thing." You Mo patted his head, and his face was stunned.
"Can you forget this?" Wang Dan was a little deflated at once, but he was still full of confidence.
After all, having lived together for two whole years, the guy who doesn't eat fireworks in the world is not as impersonal as it seems on the surface.
"Forget that he's not a bachelor anymore, I really don't need to say it before." You Mo apologized and continued to eat heavily, not planning to make a phone call or anything right away.
"Didn't Lu Wei say before that he wanted to join the German national team, so you really don't need to ask?" Wang Dan sighed when he heard it, and instantly made up countless pictures in his mind.
Especially when the two goods were holding hands on Dinard Beach, the slogans around her in support of homosexuality broke her heart.
The three beauties of the harem are just that, what's the matter with the male pet?
"That is, no matter how good the relationship is, you can't make an idea for others without notifying you on such a big matter!" Jiang Xiaolan resolutely spoke out to support, but the picture of the brain supplement was the bits and pieces of Lu Wei's communication with her in those two years.
The guy who really regarded her as a friend and hoped that her road would be wider and wider, would he remember that there was such an insignificant existence as her when he was in Manchester?
"Big deal?" You Mo was a little confused, and turned his head to ask You Xinya's opinion.
The little girl is sucking the pacifier, looking like she doesn't like to deal with people.
"Damn! Be serious! ”
As soon as Wang Dan spoke, he knew that he was going to suffer.
Sure enough, the helpless voice of the mother-in-law quickly sounded in anger.
"The daughter of the old Wang family, can she be a little more ladylike?"
"Alas, the godson is not strict!" Wang Jiujing was not annoyed when he was named, but happily showed off to Zhou Xiaofeng.
As a result, the party concerned had not reacted yet, and Zhang Nan began to look at him.
Wang Jiujing suddenly understood, and looked apologetic.
I actually forgot that this old couple's heart is sick, it's really a lot of words!
"If you don't say it, I'm almost forgotten, Lu Weike is also our godson!" Wang Yao spoke out at the right time to relieve the siege. After speaking, he didn't forget to turn his head and glance at Jiang Xiaolan's proud lower abdomen.
Expectant mothers are still half a month away from their due date, and now is the stage when mobility is the most inconvenient. Fortunately, there are many people in the family, and they don't need to ask a maid to take care of their lives.
"Yes, if you say anything during the New Year, you have to let them come and stay for a few days!" Jiang Xiaolan gritted her teeth and said, still a little worried.
In fact, the two families had just met at Christmas, and Manchester United had frequent events and New Year's events. Reunion is obviously difficult for some strong people.
"Hey, seriously, they're still dealing with the accommodation provided by the club, aren't they going to buy a house?" Wang Dan suddenly remembered something, so he asked with a puzzled face.
"His style came to the Premier League a few years earlier, so I can't say for sure." You Mo actually doesn't have an answer to this question, but judging from his understanding of Lu Wei, he can't rule out the possibility of taking the initiative to transfer and leave after Manchester United becomes famous.
"He wouldn't want to come to Arsenal, would he?" Wang Dan asked with a look of disgust.
"Who knows. It's impossible to transfer directly, and it's impossible to say that the curve will save the country. You Mo saw a pain in the egg, so he simply buried his head in eating vegetables.
"How good it is for Momo to go to Manchester United!" Jiang Xiaolan must have been fooled by Zheng Lash, and she spared no effort to support her at this time.
"You can't smash the signboard, I want my old You family to practice martial arts for three generations, but you can't ruin your good reputation!" You Mo sighed and shook his head.
The people at the table couldn't be calm, so the coughs came and went.
Good for a while.
"What's so good about Arsenal. If it weren't for Lu Wei's liking of this team, you probably wouldn't want to stay for a long time! "Wang Dancai is not a master who has something to say in his heart. At this moment, he is a child's speech and speaks out loud.
"yes, compared to Manchester United and Ferguson, Arsenal not only pick the goal, but Wenger is so used to those guys!" It was not Jiang Xiaolan who supported her this time, Wang Yao, a former insider, stood up and shouted with a flag.
Zhang Nan nodded violently after listening. The two old men fell into deep thought at the same time, and Jiang Xiaolan looked over with a concerned expression.
"This team, this manager, this club, there are a lot of things that are not satisfactory. But think about it another way. I figured it out. You Mo turned his head with a smile, looked around and said: "The sports career is so short for more than ten years, and the golden stage is less than ten years. In such a short period of time, if you are lucky, you can meet the right team at the right time, but when you are unlucky? ”
As soon as these words were said, everyone was in a daze.
yes, who is always lucky?
In the past two years, Kaiserslautern has done everything in terms of time and place, people and God. If you increase your appetite because of this, and you want to change places when the situation is a little uncomfortable, will the final result be Wang Xiaoer's New Year, and the year is not as good as the year?
It's one thing for the club to let the players go for various reasons, it's another thing for the players to be absent-minded and bent on moving their nests. Is the so-called "smashing signboards" really a joke?
"It seems that Momo is ready to do a big job here, what are the plans to say, let's brainstorm it."
Zhou Xiaofeng was the first to laugh, and there was an indescribable ease in his voice.
Maybe it's because he is also a professional athlete, but he also feels that it's a bit unkind to just pick a son and leave.
"I tried to make up my mind about the transfer before, but then I found that it was not a matter of words. And if you do it reluctantly in the current situation, it is easy to bring about the opposite effect. The smile on You Mo's face was much more honest, so much so that reporter Wang Da looked suspicious.
This cargo is notoriously thick-skinned and black-bellied, but he can't be fooled easily!
"And then?" Wang Dan decided to strike first, so he didn't give his opponent a chance to consider.
"If the transfer doesn't work, you have to change the thinking of the whole team. Just like in Kaiserslautern, winning and winning, it is no longer a dream to win the championship for the promoted horses. You Mo will not be stumped by this test, and there is no hesitation in his voice, "Just like a game, sometimes even if you win, you can't win anything other than three points. Sometimes you lose, but you get something that you can't bring with three points. ”
"Well, that sounds good, but I've heard that Wenger is a very stubborn man, and even a little idealistic, and I'm afraid it's hard to change." Zhou Xiaofeng nodded first and then shook his head, his face solemn.
"As long as you keep your head clear, it's not a bad thing to be stubborn. It's not enough for him to carry the whole team, he actually plans to carry another stadium on his back, this kind of person does not become a legend, but becomes the object of criticism and ridicule by others. But I don't think an old man with a degree in economics will stick to a set of solutions to all problems. ”
"Just like the development of football in a country, the more people who are willing to shoulder the responsibility and the more power to speak, there is hope for the football of the whole country."
With that, You Mo turned his head with a smile and looked out the window.
On the first day of 1999, the weather was good.
......
Anelka's farewell match happened to be at home, and the opponent was not strong.
Aston Villa.
It's been a long time since the first leg between the two teams, but the understanding of each other doesn't get to be superficial, especially if there are not many changes in the personnel of the two teams.
Arsene Wenger is a kind-hearted man, and Anelka's transfer is imminent, so if he accidentally gets injured in this game, it will inevitably chill the buyers, so the protagonist of the farewell game was placed on the bench.
In fact, the fans have not been given definite news now, so the farewell game is only occasionally mentioned within the team, and it is not enough to change the lively atmosphere of the whole stadium.
Of course, Anelka, who sat on the bench with an elongated face, did not think so.
The farewell game can't be the protagonist in a beautiful way, it's really a dog!
Can the arrogant guy still laugh?
Wait and see!
"Forget it, the boss is also for your good."
As his mind swelled with an evil fire, Anelka heard a voice from beside him.
It's in French.
With Ljungberg and Wiltord out injured at the same time, Arsenal have a new addition to the bench.
Remy Gard.
The brother is also French, but he is 33 years old, and he has undergone knee surgery before the start of the season, and has finally returned from injury. His position on the pitch is generally right midfielder, Paloer's substitute.
Although he also selected the French national team when he was young, his resume is really not dazzling, so that when Wenger brought him from France, many people looked up and down with suspicion.
As a result, it took him less than half a season for those people to slap him in the face.
The Frenchman in the number 19 shirt is technically simple and practical, and he doesn't look physically strong, but he is not weak at all, and after Parol's injury, he played better and better at right midfield, and finally pressed the Englishman to the bench!
It's a pity that the years are getting old, and he, like David Pratt, who has a symmetrical position on the court, is also on the verge of leaving the team this year.
"It's none of the boss's business!" Anelka showed some patience with the Big Brother figure, and although his face was not good, his tone was not cold.
"The boss suddenly relented after holding on for so long, in fact, he saw that the contradictions between you were irreconcilable. In this case, he can be regarded as indirectly helping you, so why bother with the previous things? Garde slowed his speech, his brow furrowed.
He's been recovering from injury, but as a veteran in the team, there's no shortage of sources. The master in front of him, who gave everyone a headache, also worried him, but the two sides have gone farther and farther, and they are not considered to be people on the same road.
"Hey, you don't have to worry about me doing stupid things, but don't worry, I won't let people laugh after slapping me in the face!" Anelka's chin lifted and he sneered.
Garder's face also turned a little cold.
"If there's a team that costs 45 times more in two years, remember that it's more beneficial. I don't have a problem with you targeting him, but have you thought about how much the team will suffer? ”
Anelka froze slightly, then pruned her jaw again.
"There's a point in what you're saying, and I don't want people to call it ungrateful. It just so happened that Claude also told me not to mess around, so I'll be gentle, right? ”
"Gentle?"
"I've got some clues, I'll see!" (To be continued.) )
