"Why hasn't Arsenal had a heavyweight trophy for so many years? Is it strength that doesn't work? Tactics? Neither, but because Arsenal have never found a captain like Patrick. Martin Taylor said with a sigh.

What kind of abilities do you need to be a good captain? Many people will say prestige, qualifications, abilities, leadership temperament, command ability. But in a fast-paced, fiercely competitive league like the Premier League, the most important thing is mental strength.

Being able to stand up at critical times, boosting morale in the face of difficulties, standing up for teammates when they are being bullied, and stabilizing the locker room......

Simply summed up in two words, it is iron and blood. Its famous exponents are the Red Devils Manchester United's "King" Eric Cantona and Roy Keane; Arsenal's Tony Adams and Patrick Vieira.

Arsenal has not won the mainstream championship trophy for more than ten years, and it is after the departure of the Frenchman that neither the former Seske Fabregas, William Gala, nor the current Mikel Arteta, Per Mertesacker, etc., can make the softer style of Arsenal hard.

And at the critical moment for Arsenal to score, White Hart Lane angrily stood up for his teammates, and now with an angry tackle, not only for Danny Welbeck, but also for referee Michael Oliver to favor the away team, but also made Arsenal teammates gradually tougher.

This is the chemical reaction brought by the 15-year-old Qiansheng after coming to Arsenal. Such a change made Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger have the idea of giving the captain's armband to Qiansheng, if not because Qiansheng is too young.

Seeing Peter Cech loudly commanding his teammates to line up the wall, Steve Boulder, the assistant coach next to him, suddenly rushed to the sidelines and shouted: "Lawrence, remind Peter, pay attention to Dimitri!" Wenger's eyes shrank, and a cold air rose in his heart.

West Ham United's No.27 player, France international Dimitri Payet, looks ahead before the penalty spot. For the midfielder, one of the Hammers' best signings this season, what makes people tremble is his golden right foot, which takes a free-kick as a penalty.

This is clear not only to Arsene Wenger, but also to Laurence Koscielny, who has been a team-mate in the national team with Payet. 3 free kicks in 20 days, almost every free kick can be said to be very beautiful, when the world wave three words. Even the owner of the Hammers, David Gold, came out to tout his free-kick kung fu, which is unparalleled in the world.

Pavel Nedved smiled and said to David Beckham: "David, Dimitri's right foot has been said by a lot of media lately not to lose to you. ”

Beckham also laughed and said: "I looked at his three free-kicks and Dimitri's free-kicks were far or close. The FA Cup goal was 25 meters away, about 30 meters against Russia, the distance from Crystal Palace in the last game was about 20 meters, the first two shots were on the right side of the goal, and before the last one came out he saw the goalkeeper move to the right, so he played in the opposite direction, hehe, a smart lad. ”

Nedved looked at Beckham and said, "How do you think his footwork compares to yours?" ”

Beckham looked through the floor-to-ceiling glass, stared at the Frenchman in the No. 27 jersey, and said slowly: "Almost." ”

The foul was committed on the right side of the penalty area, about 23 meters away from goal. This position is generally suitable for left-footed players. But lately, Payet, who has scored three brilliant free-kicks in a row, naturally stands in front of the ball, and it seems that this position is not difficult for him.

In the stands, West Ham United fans chanted Payet's name, under the command of Cech, Arsenal discharged a wall combination of Kokquilin, Elneny, Welbeck and Alex Sanchez, West Ham United's Manuel Lanzini was crowded in the wall, Qiansheng stood in the center circle with his waist crossed, silently watching, not far behind him were Winston Reid and Angelo Ogbonna, it seems that West Ham United's attack power is still very jealous.

Under the gaze of countless people, with the whistle of Michael Oliver, Payet trotted a few steps, supported by his left foot, and volleyed hard with his right foot under the ball, the red and white Nike Ordem3 Premier League official drew a beautiful arc with the ball, crossed the high Arsenal wall, and flew towards the gate guarded by Czech goalkeeper Petr.

The moment the ball appeared over the wall, Cech judged where it had landed and moved to the left.

The ball that had been flying to the left side of the goal changed direction strangely, Cech's pupils shrank, and he screamed badly, and pounced to the right with the strength of milk, but unfortunately it was a step too late, and the ball quickly grazed the right post of the goal from Cech's fingertips into the net.

Payet opened his arms and ran happily to the fans in the stands to celebrate, the whole stadium was boiling, and the Hammers helped the fans dance and cheer loudly, and in the 42nd minute, with Payet's beautiful free-kick, West Ham led Arsenal 1-0 at home.

"Beautiful! After the Spanish goalkeeper David De Gea of the Red Devils Manchester United, the well-known goalkeeper of another big team, Peter Cech, fell at the feet of Dimitri! The neutral Taylor had to marvel that the Frenchman's free-kick skills were no less than those well-known free-kick masters, scoring free-kicks in four consecutive games, and Payet was definitely one of the best free-kick masters in Europe.

Intentionally or unintentionally, on the display screen of Upton Park, Payet's free kick was constantly repeated, and the trajectory that was originally flying to the right side of the goal changed to fly straight to the left side of the goal immediately after crossing the human wall. There is no doubt that this free-kick has a chance to be one of the best goals of the round.

At the end of the first half, Arsenal conceded the goal, the blow to the players was not heavy, looking at some unwilling and confused teammates, Qiansheng ran forward, slapped their chests one by one, including Cech, all frowning and caressing the painful parts, and looked at the 15-year-old talented teammate.

Qiansheng clapped his hands and shouted: "Guys, cheer up!" It's just a ball to lose, don't make me feel like a dead mother! You're a man with a handle, not a mother-in-law who lies on the bed and lets people casually! After a pause, he pointed his stinky thumbs up at himself and said proudly: "Let Lao Tzu, the savior, take you fly!" ”

The Arsenal teammates were stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing and scolding Qiansheng, and the previously suppressed mood was swept away by Qiansheng's words.

Looking at the Arsenal players who returned to the field to kick off, Wenger's furrowed eyebrows stretched, Slav Bilic's eyes flashed, and he secretly said in his heart: "This Chinese kid is interesting." ”
