Chapter 31: Good People
For Arsenal and its followers, Lu Wei is a very peculiar presence. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Alex Ferguson put him on the bench for at least half of last season's games, and the impact was nothing short of a drop in stats, but also a very polarising and controversial affair.
In fact, anyone with a little vision can see that in the Kaiserslautern miracle, Lu Wei's role is far beyond the data on the field, forming a tactical deterrent, which directly affects the opponent's judgment and choice. However, this kind of deterrence is built on Yu Mo's unbridled creativity, which is difficult, and perhaps impossible to replicate.
Coupled with Manchester United's style of play on both wings, and the unscrupulous physical collision of the Premier League, his role in the team has obviously weakened a lot. Even if there is an occasional flash, it is difficult to sit in the main position, let alone the backbone.
With Arsenal's record on the rise and the title looming, there was a lot of talk about whether Arsene Wenger should throw a big deal at Manchester United and bring him to dominate the Premier League.
As a result, Manchester United unleashed an epic miracle without being favoured, with Arsenal collapsing in a seemingly restless situation and ultimately achieving nothing. As a result, even the most die-hard fans don't have that thought.
People go to high places, water flows to low places, and professional players are not short of energy. This team has just won the championship, and switching to other places before proving itself is tantamount to discrediting itself!
Who wants to be a deserter from a wealthy family?
What about Ferguson, will he sell a favor to Arsene Wenger?
Stop dreaming!
Even with Chelsea's roster of stars, Arsenal remain United's biggest rivals in the Premier League. Judging from Ferguson's consistent style, if you can not fight Youmo's idea, even if you are benevolent, how can you still strengthen your competitors?
Since he can't come, many people will inevitably have malicious intentions and think that it is best for him to sit on the bench.
With that in mind. They saw the last thing they wanted to see, no, not just a scene!
Penalties, shutouts, individual ability to dominate the game......
Oh my God, such a guy. Such a Manchester United team, will it give people a way to live?
Looking at the beautiful words flying in the sky on the second day, the hearts of Arsenal fans were bleeding.
As soon as the team's starting list came out, everyone couldn't be calm.
Or a centre-back?
It's still a central defender!
How do centre-backs dominate the game?
Death to the defenders!
So when the two teams split into two columns and stood in Highbury Stadium to be baptized by flashlights, the buzz was mixed with boos and invective, and began to be unscrupulous.
Since Youmo personally admitted that it was the manager who listened to his advice before placing him in the central defender position, the Frenchman did not take the blame this time. Titles such as "megalomaniac", "obstinate on going his own way", and "dying to save face" floated in. I put it on the head of this cargo firmly.
After listening to the content clearly, Wenger, who did not become the backstabber, was extremely angry. The Frenchman suddenly jumped up from the coach's seat, turned his head, and glared angrily.
The clenched fists trembled slightly.
In the eyes of the French, Youmo sacrificed his glamorous data for the sake of the team, and there is no reason to be questioned and abused. It's a pity that England fans are notoriously stingy, and they just want to vent after feeling the huge gap, regardless of the consequences!
The players on the pitch were equally amazed.
As a professional footballer. It's normal to be booed and scolded, and it's not uncommon to be booed by your own fans. But I've only heard of people who were scolded for poor performance, and I never heard of people being scolded before the game started!
What about the parties?
What will be the reaction?
Youmo is laughing!
Laughing in one direction!
What's there?
Following his gaze, they looked over.
Lu Wei's expressionless face, which was not obscured by sunglasses, appeared clearly in their eyes.
As if tired of the noisy atmosphere, he waved his hand. Turn and leave.
......
What do you mean?
After seeing what was happening, the Arsenal players put a big question mark in their minds.
The game will not wait for anyone, and all doubts can only be put after the game.
Arsenal's opponents in this game are Swansea City, a fantastic team at home in Wales. Their strength was not worth mentioning, but after witnessing what happened before the game. The desire for an upset has never been stronger.
Opportunity!
This is the case for promoted horses.
Barefoot is not afraid of wearing shoes, anyway, if you are a newcomer, you should pay tuition if you lose. So from the beginning of the game, the two sides entered the rhythm of mutual explosion, and before the half, the two teams had teamed up to score two goals!
In the 11th minute, Bergkamp sent a through plug in the middle, and Ljungberg successfully countered offside in the ribs of the penalty area, and after going down to the bottom line, he made a cross-pass to create a killing chance. The Swansea players failed to clear the siege in a hurry, and Wiltord won the scuffle in the penalty area!
In the 19th minute, Arsenal besieged the opponent but failed to counterattack, Swansea's skillful foot skills played freely in the open space, and finally relied on the ground to create a good chance to score!
Lehmann's flying save failed to prevent the ball from going into the net, and the two centre-backs were once again the backdrop for their opponents' performances!
For a while, there were loud boos in Highbury Stadium!
It was clear that Swansea had come prepared, having delved into the opposition defence. They abandoned the transfer of long balls on the counter-attack and used the players' nimble foot skills to mobilize two powerful centre-backs, which ultimately worked well.
Seeing the huge gap in strength being bridged by effective tactics, Wenger couldn't sit still.
The French have a strong urge to change people immediately, but when it comes to making a real decision, they are a little hesitant.
Even if they are replaced with a new center-back combination, the two still need to run in and still need to pay tuition. The atmosphere at home is terrible at the moment, and if the substitutions do not improve the situation quickly, the new combination may die before it takes shape, drowning in a sea of boos and abuse!
After thinking about it, Wenger still gave up the plan to replace him, and reluctantly sat back in the coach's seat, looking gloomy.
"Actually......." Pat Rice said and stopped.
"Actually, I should have been more decisive!" Arsene Wenger was not angry.
"You seem to be overly worried about his ability to handle it." Pat Rice pointed to the field, "He's still communicating with Lehmann, so he shouldn't be overwhelmed by today's atmosphere." ”
"I hope so......." Wenger looked over, and after seeing it clearly, his face turned slightly pale, and complained: "I really don't understand what these fans are thinking." There is no shortage of attackers in the team right now, but the defensive line is always having problems. He sacrificed his personal performance for the team, and these fans actually booed him! ”
"yes." Pat Rice's face was not good-looking, especially after seeing Martin Keown's expressionless face, the nameless fire in his chest was a little unbearable, "How can you put the responsibility for losing the ball on his head!" ”
"If only Martin could have half his sense of responsibility. I'm thankful! Arsene Wenger clearly knows what his old buddies are worn.
"Alas......" Pat Rice let out a long sigh and lost his voice.
on the field.
The brief exchange was over, and You Mo stretched out in front of everyone.
"Are you alright?"
Bergkamp said with a blank face.
"Yes." Jumo waved weakly at the Dutchman, "Twins told me that I should make the most of Lauren's speed instead of trying to solve the problem on my own. ”
Hearing such an answer, the Arsenal players breathed a sigh of relief, and Wiltord quickly shouted, "These guys are too arrogant. Give them some color and voila! ”
"To whom, those fans?" Ljungberg followed, in a bad tone.
"Ignore them, unreasonable bunches!" Ashley Cole looked dismissive.
"Don't you really care?" Piret cast a curious look, "If it were me, I might be trembling with anger!" ”
Before Yumo could open his mouth, Vieira's loud voice shouted.
"Don't worry, Roberto. He only cares about the people and things he thinks are important! ”
Hearing this, You Mo gave a thumbs up from afar.
"Important people ran away. I will despise him by deeds. ”
.....
After calming down, the Arsenal players played as usual and the situation gradually fell into control. However, Swansea is in a stage of high morale, running back and forth on the field without sparing any effort, relying on tenacious defense, several times in distress and several times to save the day.
The score remained 1:1 until one minute before half-time. Pires' breakthrough down the left won a free-kick from 30 yards out for Arsenal.
Due to the technical flow of play on both sides, the number of times the game was interrupted due to fouls was rare. After 45 minutes, Arsenal won only three well-placed free-kicks, and there were more corners, but two and three left-sided deliveries were not good. It's basically the kind that clears the siege headlong, and melee in the restricted area rarely occurs.
Seeing that the time was running out soon, Pire, who took the free-kick, was not in a hurry.
As a newcomer, even as a key member of the new World Cup-winning team, the Frenchman still kept a clear head.
He is well aware that the competition at national team level does not tell the whole story, and the honours won him in Ligue 1 are even less convincing. As the storm of gold yuan blows rapidly, the honor at club level becomes more and more important. He is in the prime of his professional life and naturally cherishes the opportunity presented by this transfer.
What happened before today's match made him quite regretful, and by the way, he also experienced a real game of big club pressure. Therefore, if possible, he had good intentions and wanted to use his footwork to help Youmo.
As a result, this urgent idea did not surprise the opponent, and the first few set-pieces arced too flat, and before they fell into the control of Youmo, they had already become the opponent's bag. Now that there was more than enough time left in the first half of the field to attack once, and two times he was a little nervous, so he simply stood still and watched carefully.
I don't know if I don't observe, and I'm shocked when I observe!
This mud horse...... Is it playing rugby, surrounded by front, back, left and right?
Seeing this scene, he understood the problem.
The intent is too obvious!
Free kicks, even if they can control the landing point within the centimeter range, there will still be a lot of unknowns when taking the penalty. In addition to the ubiquitous influence of luck, the biggest uncertainty is the knowledge of teammates and opponents.
He has only been in this team for a little more than a month, and it seems that his on-field performance is seamless, but in fact there is still a long way to go before he can truly understand it. In addition to the lack of understanding with teammates, the opponents in this game have limited information, and the data provided by intelligence is completely useless.
In this case, it is better to find someone than to find a vacancy, and creating chaos is equivalent to creating opportunities!
Once you've made up your mind, a simple free kick doesn't make it easy.
Step back, one step, two steps...... After taking five steps back, stand still, run, and take off with your left foot in a big arc!
The disguided cards created chaos and the ball was hit by Patrick Vieira in the far corner, but the Arsenal captain couldn't get a shot on goal as the spot fell far behind.
Header ferry!
The second drop was not actually within the control of the Arsenal players, but due to the slow pace of the ball, it was difficult for the Swansea players to head the ball far even if they tried their best.
So the cunning killer finally waited for the opponent to show his weakness!
The third landing point is in the middle, near the big penalty area line, You Mo got rid of the entanglement from the penalty area, turned his back to the goal, and appeared directly below the ball!
Without waiting for the ball to land, raise your right leg high and push your thigh to the ball!
No one knew what he was going to do, not even himself.
He only felt a surging force surging in his body, and his body was as light as a swallow like never before!
There is only a momentary opportunity, and only by doing it to the extreme can we see the blood and seal the throat!
The raised right leg quickly retracted, the feet did not move, and the body first rotated 45 degrees to the right. Until the muscles tense and the tension is at the limit, the whole body is like a spring, and at the same time releasing all the strength, there is an inaudible loud noise!
It was so fast that it was so fast that his right leg seemed to have an afterimage, and it wasn't until the real loud noise came that everyone came back to their senses and looked for the ball that had disappeared!
The ball was so fast that it made one wonder if the ball had been kicked out for a moment!
The ball lies quietly in the net, waiting for the score to be rewritten.
......
In the noisy Highbury stands, some were cheering, some were rejoicing, some were covering their hot faces, and some were still swearing.
It wasn't until the stands were completely quiet after the slow replay over and over again that the expressionless faces became surprised, and their mouths opened wide, but they couldn't speak.
As if to reinforce everyone's impression, the shot, which came to be known as the "Super Windmill", was measured through a video replay system, and the speed of the ball was reported on the spot.
182 km/h!
Tied the real record of the world record, second only to the legendary unofficial statistic record of 210 km / h!
But, but, but he's a barbed shot!
How did you kick it out?
Did humans do it?
Can it still be reproduced?
Impossible, right?
If I can, I'll ...... Forget it, this guy is not human!
"Why are you scolding him, are those guys having nothing to do when they're full?"
"yes, if you anger him, you'll be kicked in the head like a ball, right?"
"It's terrible, 182 km / h, if hit by a ball at this flying speed......"
"What will happen?"
"The top speed of tennis is 246 km/h, and you don't need to reach this speed to kill someone!"
"Wow, isn't it dangerous for us to sit behind the goal?"
“...... Football is a man's war, women go home and take their children, right? ”
"No, as a woman, it is my duty to conquer men. I'm going to conquer him with my charm and let him sweep the stands with a violent shot and shoot the eggs of the guys who scold him! ”
“...... Compared to some women, Mo is such a kind person. (To be continued.) )
