Chapter 209: I owe him a champion
Eleven has two girlfriends who are going to get married, and they are rushing to ask me to be a bridesmaid, so I was excited, I called my mother, and my mother said: Don't look for who you are looking for, I have to invite you for money! I was happy to say: Really, am I really that sought-after? Mom said: Well, who made you look so ugly..
Beneath the halo there will be shadows. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
No one wants to live in the shadows, especially professional players who seem to have unlimited scenery, and as long as there is the slightest possibility, they will not give up the idea of becoming the protagonist.
This thought sustains them and haunts them.
You Mo knew this, and without waiting for the other party to raise his head, he continued: "Actually, I can't do this either, and it is difficult for you to ask for it. So I can just listen to what I say, and I don't have to memorize it. β
Just listen to it?
Wiltord looked up at him with a wist.
I don't know when it began, this guy in front of him has become a beacon in his heart, illuminating the front with light, dispelling the cold with heat, as long as he raises his head, he can absorb energy from it and move on.
It is a feeling that has nothing to do with age or gender, and is closer to the spiritual support that comes with faith.
It's a blessing to have such a guy as a teammate, Wiltord often thinks so.
But today, at this moment, he walked out of the confusion, and after waking up for a while, he entered another kind of confusion.
He can't do it either?
How so?
A guy who can't be difficult with any difficulty has become a faith-like existence, how can there be something that can't be done?
What does this mean, the collapse of faith?
Wiltord didn't speak, and fell into bitter thought.
The half-time whistle blew in time for inspiration, and the Frenchman finally got it.
Even if you are worshipped as a god, you will have troubles and problems that you can't solve. True faith, on the other hand, makes people strong and optimistic, rather than expecting the power of faith to solve all problems.
I believe in him because of his sincerity and frankness, not because of omnipotence!
"No wonder they laugh at me a lot, I am quite ridiculous."
After the break, Wiltord, who was walking in the passage, approached Yumo with a self-deprecating expression.
The 0-0 score was decent, and Arsene Wenger didn't get angry. However, this benevolent brother's performance was criticized without being named, and he attracted a few mocking glances.
Ljungberg, Vieira, Ashley Cole, these three guys actually played only average, and their emotions were more or less affected by public opinion. But their fears pale in comparison to the situation Wiltord faces.
After all, when you are young, not only do you have no psychological pressure to be a villain or something, but there will be a kind of pride that thousands of people have always looked forward to.
Of course, in addition to being young, the current situation of the team also gives them confidence.
The league, the Champions League, the just-concluded FA Cup, they have not tasted defeat in ten games, the offensive power is the best in the Premier League, and they have absolute capital to meet the challenge!
"Actually, it's not bad to be a pistachio, as long as you treat the audience as fans." You Mo comforted him with kind words, and he was serious.
Wiltord really got into the role easily, with a grin, his eyes looked around the left and right, "The guy who dares to laugh at me, the look is enough to make them regret it!" β
Ljungberg couldn't help coughing, and before he could express his opinion, Ashley Cole looked surprised and said, "Has Sylvain been resurrected, so soon?" β
Vieira first smirked, and then said with a serious face: "He faked his death just now, and he escaped by luck." β
Ljungberg finally regained his strength in laughter and continued to mend the knife, "Ah, boss, why are you back again?" β
Wiltord didn't believe it, and continued to stare at me, "It's useless to scare me, I still have to advise you when the boss comes, Sylvain has been resurrected, and the only protagonist is about to go on a killing spree!" β
The coughs suddenly came and went, and the sharp-eyed guys held their breath and waited for the show.
Wenger was going to go back to the dressing room to get his coat, but he just caught up with this one, so he raised his voice and said: "Good job, Sylvain, an actor who doesn't want to be the protagonist is not a good actor." β
With that, the French walked away, leaving only a bunch of wide-eyed and small-eyed fellows.
The answer was really unexpected, and the guys who were holding their breath were deflated, gathered their moods and prepared to leave.
Unexpectedly, there is also an ending song.
Yumo stretched out his hand and shook it in front of the stunned Wiltord, turned and left.
A lazy voice came from the entrance of the players' tunnel.
"In fact, compared with many protagonists, those supporting roles with few shots are easy to be remembered."
......
A supporting role that is firmly remembered?
Someone may be dismissive, but Sylvain Wiltord is thrilled.
He knows his own family, he understands his own characteristics, he knows his weaknesses, and he knows that the manager is not biased. Thierry Henry has more potential than he does, and his tactical role is greater, and the power of a strong conversation is enough to change the course of the game. In this case, he can actually accept the identity of a supporting role, and he will not be resentful because of this, and even have the idea of leaving.
However, people will have times when their emotions are out of control, especially when their identities suddenly change, and it is inevitable that selfish distractions will run out to cause trouble, destroy the mood and affect the atmosphere. And as Wenger said, an actor who doesn't want to be the protagonist is not a good actor, so should the guy who is forced to change from the protagonist to a supporting role also show it with actions?
So he made up his mind to challenge as a supporting role, and in a more reasonable way, he became an existence that threatened the protagonist's status!
So the question arises.
As a supporting role, the possession and firing power are inherently insufficient, and the position is far away from the penalty area, how can you continue to maintain the previous performance in the few opportunities?
Without a consistent and stable performance, how can you win in the comparison, until you make up for the innate gap between the two and regain your own leading role?
Or, just by becoming the protagonist in one or two games, can you really claim the identity of the protagonist as already there?
The situation is not rosy.
Fortunately, it's still early, and there are still plenty of opportunities waiting ahead. So he collected his mood and secretly resolved to impress all the people who looked down on him with more adequate preparation and higher efficiency.
It turned out that it was at this point that he got a tantalizing answer.
A supporting role that is firmly remembered?
Wouldn't it be cool?
Like Dennis Bergkamp, unsmiling and memorably elegant?
Like mo, relaxed and freehand, cold enough to make opponents chill?
Wait, are they the protagonist or the supporting role?
Is the protagonist of a team determined by the position on the field?
Is the protagonist of each game determined by luck?
With this in mind, Wiltord finally understood.
The location is different, the difficulty of being the protagonist is different, that's all.
......
Straightening out their mentality, Arsenal's attack gradually sharpened. In the 53rd minute of the second half, the opportunity came.
Ljungberg won the ball on the right and completed two small transitions in quick succession with Wiltord, who had come to pick up, and the ball began to move forward along the right touchline. Both of them took the small and fast route, and when they cooperated together, the ball was very fast, and the Ajax defenders didn't even see the ball clearly, and they saw one person kill the pile and rush in!
This local advantage is sometimes insignificant, sometimes fatal, and the Swede know this, so they were unfazed by the comfortable crosses and continued to dribble forward. Until he crossed the line of the big penalty area and the front was heavily blocked, he gave the ball a nudge with his right foot.
Bergkamp, who had a cross-position, replaced Wiltord and appeared just outside the box, ribs.
A team is like this, everyone's characteristics need to be kept in mind by teammates, and a subconscious mind can be formed in order to give full play to the power of tacit understanding. The Dutchman's breakthrough ability was nowhere near as good as his passing skills, so the densely populated area was not suitable for handing the ball to him. Now that the opponent's defense has been disrupted through the partial cooperation of two small players, the next opportunity creation and grasp will naturally be handed over to a more suitable candidate.
Bergkamp's ability lies in simplicity and creativity. As if he had a tacit understanding, Henry's exaggerated starting speed and good sense of movement were the perfect use of the Dutchman's creativity to be in the right place at the right time.
You Mo is no worse than Henry in these two points, but in the densely populated penalty area, the technical shortcomings will be infinitely magnified, which will eventually lead to this most common stoppage, getting rid of, and the proportion of shots on goal is very small, almost like a lag.
To put it simply, the same kind repels each other, and the different attracts each other.
Bergkamp's creativity needs a textbook among top strikers like Thierry Henry to translate into goals, while Jumo's creativity needs to kill people in a chaotic environment.
But this time it's not a simple pass.
Thierry Henry won the ball on the left side of the penalty area and prepared for the shot in the most comfortable way, only to be distracted by a well-prepared opponent who shot a little less powerful.
This situation also happened in the first half, but because of the extreme coordination of this passing, Henry forced himself to complete a tricky shot that went straight to the dead corner!
The Ajax goalkeeper was equally prepared, with a beautiful lateral save and the ball was denied!
As if expected, Wiltord appeared in front of the black and white elf jumping on the right side of the small penalty area.
How can we grasp the small space and the fleeting opportunity?
The guy who is willing to play a supporting role gives the answer!
Step out with your left foot, lean back, swing your right leg quickly, and rotate your knee to drive the sharp instep and hit the ball 1/3 of the way up!
Volley!
The ball felt the fierce murderous aura given by the owner, and roared to hit the far post and bounced into the net!
There was no hesitation, no deliberateness, everything seemed so natural, as if everything before was prepared for him, just waiting for this moment, the protagonist made his debut!
β...... Wow, dazzling cooperation! Sylvain Wiltord, Frederick Ljungberg, two small players with very fast foot frequency! β
"A breakthrough on the side! Dribble forward at high speed and open up space! β
"Dennis, great Dennis, took a step laterally, a diagonal pass to the centimeter, to Henry!"
"Good at tricks to eat opponents! Shot! β
"Go straight to the corner! A beautiful side save from the goalkeeper! β
"Who's that? Wiltord? Oh my God, volley! β
βgoooooooooooo....... alβ
"It's incredible, in such a small space, you can actually use a volley!"
"It should have been prepared for a long time to achieve this effect! Terrible sense of smell! β
"Maybe his team-mates have overshadowed him a little bit, but at this moment, his performance is decisive!"
"Sylvain Wiltord, 7 goals in 8 Premier League games, 2 goals in 3 cup games, horrible efficiency!"
"He came to Arsenal in the same year as Nicola Anelka, and he finally broke out this season!"
"Yes, an average of one goal in 72 minutes, which is unsurpassed by no one in the entire top five European leagues!"
"Actually, he didn't play well in this game, but this goal was so crucial! Let's take a look at slow motion again...... The small cooperation with Ljungberg was very tacit, and after completing it, he crossed with Bergkamp to open up space, and then went straight to the penalty area to grab the point and shoot...... Every link is impeccable, as if he has suddenly found inspiration, every step is carried out in rhythm! β
"An underrated player, Sylvain Wiltord."
......
Scoring goals is really crucial.
A team like Arsenal that is strong in attack and weak in defense is the most unfavorable situation for a long time is that it cannot attack for a long time. Even strictly speaking, it is more refreshing to catch up if you are behind than 0:0.
Especially when there is not much time in the game and the opponent can't get out of the hole, it is easy to be constrained due to the balance of offense and defense, and the combat effectiveness is sharply reduced.
Once the deadlock is broken, the opponent can only press out and attack. At that point, Bergkamp's straight plug and Henry's speed will be lethal weapons!
Even if they are unlucky enough to score, they still have the ability to attack the top position, but they also have set-piece killers!
Of course, it was the guy who scored the goal that really relieved the Arsenal players.
Wiltord is a jack-of-all-trades on the pitch and still plays the role of lubricant off the pitch. After coming out of the shadow of the family breakdown caused by the infidelity, the French regard the pitch as life, treat their teammates as family, show kindness to everyone, and would rather suffer themselves than spoil the atmosphere in the dressing room.
It's true that such guys can't be leaders, and it's hard for the core to exist in the team, but every team will always lose a lot of fun and memories without them.
Just like the relaxed atmosphere that You Mo loves, without Yao Xia, Da Yu, and Kuka, pistachios messing around in it, it will inevitably be discounted.
If you switch to a team that lacks cohesion and needs to be guarded against at every turn, a guy like Wiltord will undoubtedly become a tool for some people to use as a weapon if necessary.
Just like what Anelka did.
Now that the Arsenal team has become the public enemy of the Premier League and needs to face the challenge of public opinion throughout the country, their cohesion has reached an all-time high, completely surpassing the double season. In this case, every guy who fights alongside them is a fearless warrior worthy of trust!
In fact, Arsene Wenger's transformation this season seems to be incomprehensible to many players, and the preference for Henry and the neglect of Wiltord are not new topics. If it weren't for the player tunnel before, without this crucial goal in front of them, they would inevitably be worried and regretful.
It's okay, it's okay!
After taking a 1-0 lead, Arsenal took the initiative to slow down the tempo, retracted the formation slightly, and cooperated to release the opponent. (To be continued.) )
