Chapter 57: The Troublemaker
"Papapa"
"Jack, we're proud of you."
"Well done, Jack."
"Well done, little Jack."
When Wilshere came off the pitch, the more than 1,000 Arsenal fans who came with him gave him a lively applause as a reward for the Arsenal record setter.
In his debut, the skinny Wilshere fell to the ground from time to time because he couldn't compete with the opponent, and he didn't score in the first game like Nasri.
However, he still showed his talent, and when he left the game, the director replayed his most shining scene on the field.
In the 66th minute of the game, surrounded by two Blackburn defenders, Wilshere pulled the ball and toeed with a toe to take the ball out of the two big men and send it to Bendtner's feet, helping Ben score twice and ending the suspense of the game.
"Di-di-di-di."
With the Dodd whistle, 4-0, Arsenal easily won Blackburn away thanks to goals from Bendtner, Ramsey and substitute Bella.
"Click, click, click"
"Here they are."
"Coach Wenger let Hao out this time?!"
"Oh my God, I think Jeff didn't come this time, I'm going to die with regret, he likes Hao the most."
…
*a* Ben * read * small * said that YBDU was just an ordinary Premier League game, and it was in Blackburn Rovers far away from London, so there were not many reporters interviewed after the game.
Who would have thought that Wenger would 'make an exception' to bring Xiang Hao to the press conference this time, they had a feeling of being deceived, and they were not prepared at all.
Wenger saw the awkward expressions of these reporters as if they had eaten flies, and felt a burst of pride in his heart: Now you can't complain about not letting Hao participate in the press conference.
Wenger knows that as the game deepens, he can't always keep Xiang Hao from being interviewed by the media, and the last time he let Xiang Hao appear on Lineker's show was when he lifted his 'control' on Xiang Hao.
This time he had another raid battle, his curiosity was satisfied, and he would not let too many reporters block Xiang Hao to ask questions, and slowly, the pursuit of Xiang Hao by these media was no longer so strong, and naturally, Xiang Hao habitually appeared in the public eye.
"Hao, what do you think of your performance in this game?"
"What's the secret to Arsenal's last two big wins?"
"What's the conflict between you and Adebayo?"
"Are you the one Adebayo said in Twitter that he was squeezing him out?"
…
Although they were caught off guard by Wenger's surprise attack, and there was no special preparation question to 'embarras' Xiang Hao, what do these British coal do, concocting news and hyping rumors is their specialty.
Bullying us to come to the small number of people, okay, we all around you to ask questions, can't you.
Hula all of a sudden, long guns and short cannons, all gathered in front of Xiang Hao, one by one, regardless of whether it has anything to do with this game, ask questions and then talk.
Seeing this scene, Wenger was taken aback.
This group of reporters is really shameless, they have 'eliminated' them to the minimum, and deliberately chose Xiang Hao's most lackluster game recently, and revolved around him, which is quite a bit like catching a sheep.
Wenger was very unhappy but also a little lucky, thanks to this time to let Hao out, and then let Hao hold back a few more 'releases', maybe there will be a bigger and more chaotic scene.
Wenger doesn't believe that in the future, Xiang Hao will behave so 'low-key' like this game.
's recognition of Xiang Hao made him already believe that he was a disciple and would definitely soar into the sky.
Xiang Hao's performance in this game was very 'flat', no goals, no assists, just planned a goal, and his main contribution was to freeze Blackburn's number one star - Argentine Santa Cruz.
Although Xiang Hao's performance looks very flat compared with the goalscorer and assister, it is not extraordinary at all.
Five duels with the opposition in the whole game, all of them, plus seven interceptions and four tackles, the entire Blackburn midfield was completely out of order, allowing Arsenal to play a 4-0 onslaught on the road.
It can be said that because of the existence of Xiang Hao, Arsenal's frontcourt will be so assured.
Of course, it is also because Blackburn, like the first three teams, does not have a player who is enough to compete with Xiang Hao.
So far, there is no player who can suppress Xiang Hao, which is the reason why Xiang Hao has played well in these games.
Wenger was afraid that these reporters would swarm around Xiang Hao to ask questions, which would make Xiang Hao lose his ground, accidentally say the wrong thing, and hurriedly gesture to the press officer.
The press officer received Wenger's 'request' and hurried out of town, "Okay, come one by one, please maintain order." ”
"I'll come first, I'll come first."
"Hao, please accept my interview first."
…
After some competition, Xiang Hao chose a BBC reporter who had a good relationship with him to come first, he didn't want his first press conference to be unable to get off the stage.
"Hao, may I ask, what do you think of today's game and your performance? Is it a little different from your previous games? ”
"Well, this game, I think, we had a good chance of taking our chances, so it looked like it was going to be easy.
Blackburn were a very resilient team, and even in the final moments of the game, they still caused us a lot of problems.
As for my performance, it was okay, I was satisfied, I didn't score again, but I didn't concede a goal, so I don't think my performance was too bad. ”
A decent answer, at the end, there was a little humor. Xiang Hao was quite sophisticated and kicked the little trap hidden in him.
He won't let the media make a fuss about his lack of assists and goals.
"But compared to the previous games, you have been involved in Arsenal's attack significantly less, is it because of Sesk? Your position today is different from your previous games. ”
Before Xiang Hao's words fell, a middle-aged reporter with triangular eyes and gold-rimmed glasses immediately stood up. The tone is aggressive, there are a lot of hints, and it is clear that he is here to provoke trouble.
The Sun, he was one of the first reporters to concoct the feud between Xiang Hao and Fabregas, and he was also one of the most powerful reporters for Hei Xiang Hao.
Whether it is the first ridicule, then the questioning, and then the conspiracy theory of the Adebayo incident, he has the main writer.
Hearing this question, Wenger's heart stiffened, he still underestimated this group of reporters, and reacted so quickly and took eye medicine.
Wenger was a little worried about Xiang Hao's answer, and if he didn't answer well, it was easy for him and Fabregas to fall into the sensitive topic of who was the main core.
'Grass, Made, what a bunch of cockroaches that can't be killed, this bunch of media. ’
"I don't think, I'm less involved in the attack, I pressed very high today, is it because I didn't score or assist, give you that feeling?"
Obviously, Wenger is worried in vain, and Xiang Hao's maturity is not only reflected on the field, but also off the field.
A calm rhetorical question, immediately calmed everyone, no one would have thought that a young man who was only eighteen years old would be so 'big', and a rhetorical question would have the style of a big man.
"Yes, yes, in the first three games, you had five assists and one goal, and you averaged two goals per game, which is completely different from what you did in this game. Can you explain? Don't you think Sesk's return has affected your performance? ”
The triangular-eyed reporter was stunned for a moment when he heard Xiang Hao's aggressive rhetorical question, and then he was annoyed, nodded directly without thinking about it, and provided footnotes to his reasons more and more smoothly.
The last two sentences are already a naked sowing discord.
"Hehe, but my three assists and one goal were scored in the last game, the last game was Sesk's comeback game, what do you say?
Also, in the last game, I didn't have assists or goals, so how do you explain me, what standard do you call good or not.
Or, oh, Mr. Mai, Mr. Mike, sorry, the eyes are not very good, you, you didn't watch my game, so you came out and talked nonsense. ”
Xiang Hao is not a generous person, looking at the people who often come to hack him, he has long been holding back a fire, the other party stretched his face over this time, Xiang Hao will not be stingy with his slap, and slapped him hard, looking at him with a 'you are very unprofessional'.
"You,"
This Mike was instantly slapped by Xiang Hao and stunned on the spot, and the Sun Daily reporter, who was originally sharp-toothed, didn't know how to answer at once.
He knew that he had fallen for the hateful 'child' in front of him, so he could only sit down with hatred.
"Hehehe."
"Hehe, I don't think Hao's eyes are not very good, it's Mike you."
"Hehe, Hao, you are so humorous."
…
Xiang Hao's humorous rhetorical question, except for the reporter of the Sun News, Mike, everyone else couldn't hold back their laughter.
They are not the masters who pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, not to mention that Mike is still a big man with five big and three coarse, so he can only laugh without any scruples.
Even Wenger, an old man who has always been elegant, couldn't help but laugh out loud when he heard Xiang Hao playing the Sun News reporter.
Especially when he said 'I'm sorry, my eyes are not very good', I couldn't help but secretly scold myself that this disciple was a little fox, I was too cunning, and I was worried about him in vain.
However, seeing that Mike looking at Xiang Hao with a look of envy, Wenger's smile disappeared immediately, and he understood that this reporter from the Sun News might be eyeing his disciple.
Thinking of this, seeing the picture of Xiang Hao dealing with reporters with ease, Wenger suddenly lost his smile.
Suddenly, I found that I still didn't know enough about myself as a disciple.
Hao doesn't seem to have any character, but his domineering is all hidden in his bones, and he is even more tenacious and domineering.
This kind of player is a double-edged sword, and if you use it against him, it is likely to provoke him to rebel. Arsene Wenger suddenly fell into a state of worry.
Thankfully, he has been mature so far.
Wenger felt a little lucky, looked at Xiang Hao's gaze, and unconsciously appeared a trace of complexity and contradiction.
And the next question, with the negative example of Mike in front, the reporters on the scene did not dare to underestimate Xiang Hao, and the questions became formal.
Arsenal's post-match press conference away at Blackburn Rovers ended with a friendly but humorous note.
