33. The promise of youth
Qiansheng, who never surfed the Internet (because he didn't understand computers or mobile phones), didn't read newspapers (because he couldn't read), and didn't listen to anything outside the window was sweating under the sun, repeating boring passing training.
The four 98-level students who were "forced" by Qiansheng to practice hard all had different expressions, Chris Willock cried with a sad face, and he planned to go to pickle girls during the rare vacation Under Qiansheng's cold gaze, he was dejected and his two good friends Rene Adelaide, Ben Schiff and Chrystian Bellink, who admired Qiansheng in the last five-a-side game, accompanied the Chinese teenager to do passing practice.
Adelaide's face was a little unpleasant, and he still had the battle at Camp Nou in his mind.
In the second half, Arsenal, who continued to play in the first half, took advantage of Barcelona's slow heat and unstable foothold, opened with a fierce attack, and finally in the 51st minute, Chilean winger Alex Sanchez passed the ball on the right side, and Egyptian Mohamed Elneny, who likes to shoot forward, volleyed directly, and finally scored the first goal for Arsenal and equalized. However, Arsenal are still 1-3 down on aggregate.
Barcelona then went on the attack, with contemporary star Leo Messi hitting from a tight angle on 56 minutes saved by his in-form brother David Ospina, and two minutes later Arsenal took advantage of Barca defender Jeremy Mathieu's header to clear the ball and Danny Welbeck fired a shot that was blocked by Javier Mascherano who was back in action.
Soon, a beautiful world wave was born at the feet of Uruguayan striker Luis Suarez. Barcelona right-back Denis Alves sent in a cross from the right, Suarez volleyed up and smashed the ball into the top right corner of the goal with a scissor kick, and the uncle, who had been playing well, could only watch the ball go into the net.
1-2, 1-4 on aggregate, Arsenal is gone, but the Arsenal players who would rather stand dead continue to attack, Welbeck hit the goal frame from a small angle in the 66th minute, Sanchez took a free kick in the 79th minute, and the beautiful arc was saved by Barcelona's German goalkeeper Terr Stegen, and the French center Oliver Giroud made a follow-up shot but was defused by the young lion king.
Arsenal, who did not have the luck to score a goal, conceded again, 88 minutes, this auspicious number, the king of the plum ball scored, twice with a world-class save The uncle who shot the king of the ball finally did not block Messi's elegant shot, this goal, let the Argentine superstar set two European records: Arsenal became the team with the most goals scored by Messi in the Champions League, the Gunners' door was broken by Messi 9 times, and 9 goals are also the record of the number of times a player in the Champions League has broken the same opponent.
This record is undoubtedly a shame for Premier League giants Arsenal.
To be fair, Arsenal's defeat to the mighty Barcelona was expected, but the progress and courage shown by Arsenal in this game is to be appreciated, at least, in terms of shooting statistics, Arsenal have three more shots than Barcelona at home. Of course, limited by the quality of the players, in terms of seizing opportunities, Arsenal are too far behind. In any case, daring to play against Barcelona at home, as well as scoring goals, Arsenal, who have been in extremely poor form recently, are worthy of respect in this game.
But losing is really uncomfortable, Adelaide is in a bad mood, and a few friends are also unhappy.
Willock stopped the ball from Qiansheng, waved his hand, and gasped and shouted, "Dry, rest, rest." β
Qiansheng exhaled, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and several other people who had stopped training slowly gathered around.
Since the first battle of the five-a-side system, Qiansheng has slowly become familiar with these four 98-level teammates, and during the usual training breaks, the five teenagers will get together to brag and fart.
Sitting on the grass, the youngest Qiansheng looked old-fashioned, gave nutrients and water to the four people, and as soon as he opened the lid, he heard Willock say: "Is Ian from my factory or not, don't you lose to the powerful Barcelona, he is still speaking ill of the head in front of the media." β
Schiff asked, "What's the bad thing?" β
"It's time for the boss to leave."
Adelaide and Belink frowned slightly, took a sip of water, and asked, "Who is Ian?" β
Willock was stunned for a moment, remembering that Qiansheng had only joined the team not long ago, and replied: "Ian Wright, the former main striker of our team, has been retired for a long time. Prior to Thierry's arrival, he was the team's goalscoring record holder and a regular striker for the England national team. β
Qiansheng frowned slightly: "Why did he want to leave?" β
Willock twisted his head, he didn't know what to say.
Schiff, who looked simple, said: "I heard that when the leader first came to the team, he had a conflict with the leader because of the main team. For so many years on the team, when things were bad, Ian's seniors always spoke ill of the leader. β
Qiansheng sneered: "Such a person is also worthy of being a senior?" β
The four of them looked at Qiansheng in amazement, and they all knew that this kid was bold and strong. Unexpectedly, in the football world of seniority, this Chinese teenager dared to scold Arsenal's celebrity. Even if they want to scold, they can only say it in their hearts, where do they dare to say it to their faces.
Willock laughed, held the bottle up in front of him, and said loudly, "Dry is right, a person who speaks ill of his team outside is not worthy of our respect!" Come on, cheers to dry wonderful! β
Adelaide smiled, Schiff touched his head and smiled as he lifted the bottle, and Belink smiled as he held it high.
For these four teenagers, the French professor who single-handedly promoted them to the first team, gave them trust and caring, was their mentor, and Arsène Wenger, who has built Arsenal into a Premier League giant for two decades, is their idol.
After toasting, Adelaide looked at Qiansheng with a serious face: "Qian, I know you are very powerful, in Saturday's game, please show all your strength and kill the toffee!" β
"Yes!" Willock shouted: "Show these bastards, we Arsenal, we have world-class strikers, take them out with your goals!" Dry! β
Schiff also exclaimed excitedly: "Dry, bring us the champion, okay?" We've been waiting for twelve years! With that, tears welled up in Schiff's eyes.
For the children who have supported Arsenal since they were young and watched the 12-year arduous journey of Arsenal, they have waited too long for the Premier League title. Over the past 12 years, the team has suffered so much ridicule, ridicule, and the nickname of the four mad devils is simply an insult to the Arsenal people.
Belinker has only been in Arsenal for a year, and his feelings in this regard are not as strong as those of Willlock, but he is also infected by their atmosphere, and he also looks at Qiansheng with hope.
The corners of Qiansheng's mouth curled, he glanced at them, and chuckled: "Ben, you are a man, what is there to cry about." Rene, Chris, Chrystian, I, Gansheng, a man destined to be the greatest number nine, assure you that I will continue to score goals and help the team win the championship! Let those who despise us bow their heads from above! β
Needless to say, I'm going to score goals and score a lot of goals. For my two contracts, for Thierry and the boss, for Leo Messi, Neymar, Luis Suarez, soon, I'm going to compete with you, who scored the most!
Qiansheng beckoned to the four of them, motioned for them to come closer, and said something to them, the eyes of the four Adelaide brightened, and Willock laughed even more.
In the laughter, there is a rippling breath of youth. Lying on the turf, with his arms on his pillow, looking at the blue sky and white clouds, he was looking forward to Saturday's game infinitely.
I've been resting for so long, I've been training for so long, I really want to go up and race right away!
β¦β¦
Qiansheng fiddled with the fruit 6 no mobile phone in his hand, Henry knew that this kid was not pulling out a dime, so he bought him a mobile phone at his own expense, and then assigned him a number, and also chose the best package, and it was very preferential to call international calls.
With the help of Willock, Qiansheng knew how to make a phone call, as for surfing the Internet, using penguins and WeChat, it was better to wait until the end of the season and when he was on vacation.
The last time I sent money, when I called the fat man, the fat man said that with the consent of the dean's grandfather and grandmother, in order to facilitate contact, I went to buy a mobile phone, which was also fruit 6, but it was not that it didn't, and then told Qiansheng his mobile phone number. Qiansheng called out according to the number given by the fat man, but it was a busy sound.
Dead fatty, if you dare to give Lao Tzu a fake number, go back and Lao Tzu will promise not to kill you!
dialed again, it was still busy, and Qiansheng's face became darker and darker.
It's only three things, fat man, if you don't answer Lao Tzu's phone again, you will definitely die!
Dialing again, after a while, it finally got through.
"Dead fatty, don't answer Lao Tzu's call, I want to find death!"
"Hey, my brother, don't you look at what time it is, I called in the middle of the night, and my little brother didn't know it was you who called for a while."
"Three watches in the middle of the night?" Qiansheng looked out the window, the sun was shining in the sky, and the flowers were smiling at me, uh, how did you remember the song that the dean's grandmother sang when I was a child?
"Dead fatty, you are really bold, dare to open your eyes and say nonsense in front of Lao Tzu! Such a big sun, still three watches in the middle of the night? Nima was still three years old when she was sneering? β
"The sun? I look at it...... Oh, my brother, it's really the middle of the night, yes, jet lag, yes, jet lag. Brother wow, there is a seven-hour time difference between China and the United Kingdom, wow, have you forgotten it? β
"Huh? Oh, haha, it seems to be, I'm here for daytime, and you're here for night. Dead fatty, did you do what you did last time? β
"It's done, my brother, what you ordered, I must do it with 120,000 spirits. If you don't believe me, you ask Erniu. β
"Hmph, if it weren't for the fear of disturbing the second girl's sleep and affecting her study, Lao Tzu would have looked for her a long time ago."
The fat man burst into tears, and his heart was shattered by the blow of the dry life. Big brother, if you don't disturb the second girl, you will disturb me to sleep, is there such a favoritism? The fat man's heart is bitter, the fat man's heart hurts, the fat man doesn't cry!
"Brother, originally my grandparents said that they didn't need so much money, and they wanted to save most of the money, and said that a few of us would become a family in the future (Qiansheng's nose was sour), but fortunately, brother, you are wise, and I expected that my grandparents would be reluctant to use money to improve the conditions, so the second money you asked me to directly renovate the yard and buy a lot of supplies. By the way, I bought a big TV, ultra-clear, it's very expensive, brother, you won't mind, right? By the way, brother, you can play on Saturday, and then grandparents will cheer you on in front of the TV with us! β
Qiansheng showed a happy smile, spending money on the grandparents and brothers in the yard, no matter how much, he wouldn't mind, as long as they were doing well, no matter how much money he had, he would also give it!
"Fatty, I'm not at home, give me a good look at them, grandpa and grandma are old, don't let them work too hard, you know? Is it okay for Erni to study? Oh, the high school entrance examination is no problem, that's good, our orphanage must have a college student! Well, the international call fee is very expensive, hang up ha. What the? Internet? Chat with QQ? I'll get it again when I'm back from vacation! Less nonsense, hang up! β
Hanging up the phone, Qiansheng walked to the window, and a round of sunset gradually set in the west, and the afterglow shone on Qiansheng's childish face.
Looking down at his feet, Qiansheng muttered to himself: "It's been thirteen days, I've never been so eager to play, don't I like to play?" Raising his head, he looked at the dark curtain that gradually appeared in the sky, and an indescribable smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Maybe, my thigh is telling me that it is and thirsty." Tomorrow, eat the toffee!
