Chapter 296: New and Old Partners
"Hao, you and your teammates did a great job today."
At the end of the game, Kompany deliberately found Xiang Hao, exchanged jerseys with him, and also gave his own respect.
"Well, your performance is also very good, and it will not be easy to beat you in the future."
Xiang Hao naturally saw that Kompany was hiding a deep unwillingness under his respectful expression. Say something that seems to be comforting, give him a little encouragement.
In later generations, the Belgian seems to be the captain of Manchester City, one of the cornerstones of the rise of the Blue Moon.
There were also some signs of this game, and the Belgian had the strongest fighting spirit in the Manchester City team.
Although Xiang Hao controlled the midfield of this game at his feet, Kompany's rhinoceros-like physical fitness and Scottish fighting dog-like spirit still put a lot of pressure on Xiang Hao.
If it weren't for his focus on defending Fabregas, it would not be easy for Xiang Hao to complete the pivotal job.
With talent and hard work, Kompany's emergence is just around the corner, and as for his two teammates Adebayo and Robinho, who disappointed him, if he continues to 'perfunctory' like this, sinking may be inevitable.
"I wish that day would come sooner rather than later. Okay, I'll go first, and we'll talk next time we have a chance. ”
Kompany did not have Xiang Hao's 'foresight', he was still in a state of loss and confusion, and said goodbye to Xiang Hao after a longing.
The rest of the Manchester City squad had long since left, and the Togolese man who had said he was going to celebrate before the game had already boarded the team's bus to the boos of the team, and here he was a complete persona non grata.
"Let's talk again."
Looking at Kompany's somewhat lost back, Xiang Hao's heart was touched.
Sometimes money isn't everything, it's important that you have your own team, your teammates, and be able to fight with you.
At least the current Arsenal is enough to give Xiang Hao such satisfaction. A group of young people continue to write glory in their own way, create their own era, and continue to gild the team emblem on their chests.
Such a journey is destined to be not easy, and it is also destined to be extremely difficult. When at least by this time, they walked well and perfectly.
"Hao, damn it, what are you thinking by yourself."
"Come and take a group photo, there are beautiful women!"
"Wait, one less is not good, come over quickly."
…
After the game, the group photo celebration, without Xiang Hao, the absolute protagonist, is naturally imperfect, and the Arsenal players pulled him over one after another, and one victory after another came.
Looking at the vibrant, mature and confident faces in front of him, Xiang Hao couldn't help laughing, "Hehe, the next game, the Champions League, we are here!" ”
Xiang Hao doesn't know what will happen to these teammates in the future, whether they will develop according to his increasingly blurred memory picture, but now they are all his teammates, teammates who work hard for themselves, for them, and for the team, Xiang Hao believes in them.
The first season of his long-distance journey is about to enter the final sprint stage, and Xiang Hao can and can only trust them.
In this regard, he is much luckier than Kompany, even if his teammates are all 'stars' who look around for money.
"Alright, Europe, we're going to qualify!"
"Look, we're going to get back into the last four, we're Arsenal!"
…
Following the momentum of the game, the Arsenal players also made their strongest sounds, and the target was quickly locked on the Love Song Stadium four days later.
The league is over, and all the media in the UK are now focused on the European competition.
Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool, in recent years, the four giants of the Premier League, who have been hyped, once again gathered in the quarterfinals of the Champions League and embarked on the journey again for the Big Ears Cup.
Among the semi-finals, the most interesting thing is the civil war between Liverpool and Chelsea. As for Manchester United, Porto is too vegetable, basically there is no content, while Arsenal has a lot of content.
It's very simple, Arsenal's legendary merit Pire is going to play against Arsenal, how can the media not hype the script of the veteran killing the old master.
In addition, Pire's farewell to Arsenal was not perfect, and it can even be said that Pire's biggest regret in his life was not perfect.
That top of Europe game in Paris in '06 was Pire's last game for Arsenal and it was supposed to be the perfect script for the veteran to say goodbye to the team.
Unfortunately, not long after the start of the first half, Lehmann was sent off with a red card, and Arsene Wenger chose to remove Pire, allowing a generation of kings to leave in such a way in one of the most important games in Arsenal's history, which cannot but be said to be a pity and a lack of emotion.
In the end, Arsenal did not win the cup, and that kind of farewell was neither perfect with a happy ending, nor tragic with the final bullet, but only a kind of mutilation.
Therefore, after entering the 'European Channel', the words 'Arsenal', 'Pire' and 'Wenger' frequently appeared in the newspapers.
In the media interviews with Pire, the most asked questions were also about Arsenal and about that game.
"We can beat them, for sure."
Asked what he thought of playing against Arsenal in the Champions League, Pire gave himself a definite answer: "I would say that I want the game between the two teams to be great because there are a lot of similarities between the two teams. But we have the quality to beat Arsenal now and it's on our home turf. ”
…
'I hope we will see a lot of goals. I'm going to have a lot of emotions but I'm sorry for the Arsenal fans, if I can play well and knock them out, I really do. However, for Villarreal, not for myself. ”
…
'If I score I will be happy but I won't celebrate because I'm always supporting them and I can't celebrate in front of the Arsenal fans, but I hope it's us who advance and I'm looking forward to the team going further and getting to the final.'
…
When it comes to the upcoming game, Pire talks eloquently and does not back down because the opponent is Arsenal. And when the reporter asked about the farewell game, Pire's tone was not as elegant, with a hint of complexity.
'I'll always have a huge relationship with the Arsenal fans and these games will be opportunities and I say goodbye to them.'
Somewhat helpless, Piret pursed his lips and continued: "It's a pain to not be able to say goodbye to them, and I wish I had the opportunity to thank the Highbury public for their support, but I couldn't do it because my last match was the Champions League final against Barcelona.
That's not the way I wanted, I don't want to end my Arsenal career in this way, and until then I'm looking forward to a better way to say goodbye to the fans. Missing that, I never got another chance. ”
A deep sense of loss hits. Villarreal's Champions League match against Arsenal, because of the presence of such an elegant France, the atmosphere of war is not strong.
Pire's huge loss has naturally become a series of questions from the media about Wenger, all of which are emotional reviews of that game, a bit like a story meeting.
"I'm sorry for what I did, I'm sorry Pire."
In the pre-match press conference of the European competition, when the reporter said that Pire cared about saying goodbye in that way, and then asked Wenger if he wanted to explain anything, Wenger apologized.
Just when the reporters on the scene thought that they could hit Wenger, the old man also explained his substitution, "but in the situation I had to replace an attacking player, and that person can't be Thierry Henry, because we also have to play defensive counter-attacks." I mean, you always have to keep your strongest, fastest players on the field. ”
'Arsenal lost that game and you didn't have any chances in attack, do you regret it?' The reporter of the Daily Star asked curiously.
was scarred, but Wenger only shrugged his shoulders, "Maybe, it's hard to say." We had Hleb, Cesc Fabregas, and Ljungberg and then Gilberto among the attacking players. We already had a defender on the pitch at the time. ”
Reluctant to mention the past, Wenger also deliberately downplayed his tone, which can be regarded as revealing the topic.
The big war is approaching, and the team members are also starting to set off, one by one, hugging beautiful women, sleeping in the big bed, fulfilling their obligations and enjoying their rights.
But Xiang Hao doesn't have such a good right, Ivanka is still angry with him, even if she comes back, Xiang Hao still can't eat it, she won't be able to take the last step, and she won't let Xiang Hao succeed easily.
Helpless, Xiang Hao could only find an existence to relieve his boredom.
"Hey, Emma, would you like to come with me to Spain, here alone?"
Sitting on the sofa watching TV and bored, Xiang Hao asked her casually.
The little witch is alone, it's good to let her go out, the scenery in Spain is very good, and a person in the province is a housemaid at home.
"No, I'm going to Paris." Emma flipped through the magazine and shook her head without looking back.
During this time, the major fashion exhibitions continued, and Emma didn't have time to watch the game of twenty-two people with Xiang Hao.
"yes, so I don't have to cook so much anymore."
Xiang Hao was a little regretful, but he still gained a little.
In the past few days, I have been cooking for her every day, and the workload is not small. This little witch really regarded Chris's words as a gold medal for avoiding death, and let herself volunteer for free, whether she would make up for it one day. Xiang Hao couldn't help but look at her.
Leggings, **** sweaters, casual home dress. It seems that this girl has really grown up, with slender legs, a slender waist, and a round jade peak on her chest, which is very different from summer.
I have to say that the sister paper in the West is indeed stronger than the Oriental in terms of physical development. Emma's originally childish face gradually opened, and with a charm, the girl Tingting had entered the curtain of Shaohua.
Xiang Hao couldn't help but sit closer, looking a little desired.
"Smack!"
Seeing Xiang Hao sitting close, Emma closed the magazine and looked at Xiang Hao with squinted eyes, "Spring is here, isn't it time for the cat to bark?" Is it ready for the baptism of spring rain? ”
The starry eyes narrowed slightly, and the indifferent tone, with the aura unique to the little witch, looked at Xiang Hao calmly.
Xiang Hao had to retreat, "Okay, I think you should go to Paris." ”
