Chapter 425: Expectations for the New Season
The Arsenal players put hands on the shoulders of their team-mates and stood together in the middle circle of the pitch, still with no fans leaving the pitch, and they waited here with the players for the result. If the scoreline between Manchester City and Manchester United can be maintained until the end of the game, it will be Arsenal's second Premier League title in a decade.
Although Manchester City took the lead from the beginning of the game thanks to Dzeko's powerful header, the tenacious United still resisted their local rivals, and in the 73rd minute, Wayne Rooney scored a crucial goal, and the score was 1-1 at this time. In fact, Moyes at this time is also entangled, Arsenal, Manchester City, Chelsea, Liverpool, which are also Premier League giants like Manchester United, no matter who wins the championship, he doesn't want to see. But after weighing the relationship between the clubs, maybe Arsenal won the title, which is better than our city rivals winning the title, right? In that case, let's do it now!
In fact, the saddest and ridiculous point of human beings is here, many people who are difficult to control even their own destiny want to rewrite the fate of others. Is it really that simple to stop Manchester City for Manchester United now, or for Moyes? Maybe Moyes didn't have a clear answer in mind, so Manchester City's leading striker Sergio Aguero stepped up at a crucial moment and stepped up to give Moyes an accurate answer: Want to stop us? Don't let us get the league title? You? No way!
In the third minute of stoppage time, Sergio Aguero received the first game of Yaya. After Toure's overhead cross. A lateral pull dodged Ferdinand, the aging Manchester United captain had nothing to do in the face of Aguero, foul? No kidding! Is this a no-go zone? This hesitation allowed Aguero to break through the penalty area with ease.
De Gea opened his arms and lowered his weight nervously, looking at his former friend from his time at Atletico Madrid, Aguero knew De Gea's weaknesses as well as De Gea knew him. It's just that some people will make changes and efforts according to their own situation, and some people will not.
Sergio Aguero faced David De Gea and the first half was constantly boggling. De Gea kept his eyes on Sergio Aguero's feet. Unmoved by his movements. Aguero was in a bit of a trance for a moment, which was great! Everything is still the same as it was back then!
Aguero, who was advancing, suddenly exerted his right foot and kicked it at the ball, and De Gea pounced on it. However, Aguero's foot only ended up rubbing the ball. Then pull the ball back. Kicking the ball with his left foot into the spot where De Gea was standing. The ball rolled from behind the feet of De Gea, who fell to the ground, into the back of the net, and by this time, De Gea was completely powerless. The soccer ball has hit the net. Rolled up. Manchester City, overtaken?
Moyes was stunned and his mouth wide open, not understanding what was going on. How did he score this goal? Fought hard for the whole game, and was finally killed? 2 to 1? No way! He shouted at his players to hurry up and kick off, but the United players were already desperate at this time.
Of course, there are many people who are more desperate than them. Tang Lintian, who was standing beside He Xu, watched the other live broadcasts on the LCD screen with He Xu, and then he heard He Xu muttering: "I knew that before this game, Mariano should be loaned to Manchester United for one game!" This De Gea is too unreliable......"
At the Etihad Stadium, Pellegrini was already crazy at this point. Waving his arms, he ran under the stands known as the die-hard stands, opening his arms to the cheers and applause of the fans.
The referee was powerless in the end, and at this time, Manchester United, even if you give him ten minutes of stoppage time, may not be able to find him a chance to kill, and it may cause them to go from being one goal behind to three goals behind. In this way, the game was over, and Manchester City beat Manchester United in the end, and at the same time, it was also a change of direction to kill Arsenal, who had done their best. Won the Premier League championship in the 2013~2014 season, and as soon as the referee blew the whistle, Pellegrini took the lead and rushed onto the field. He hugged his players, while Sergio Aguero and Dzeko, who scored the crucial goal at the beginning, were surrounded by their team-mates, excitedly celebrating the hard-earned victory and the title.
Some people are happy, and some people are worried, He Xu, Tang Lintian and Garincha are all on the turf of the Emirates Stadium, stunned. In the end, He Xu, who was still a two-life man and was the captain of the team at this time, was the first to wake up from this melancholy, he walked out of the middle circle, pulled each of his teammates to the stands, and he stood at the front of the team, stretched out his hand, and signaled to the fans in the stands to express his gratitude.
Wherever He Xu led his teammates, the fans were thunderous. It is true that Arsenal did not win the Premier League, although they were very close to that goal. But none of this matters, at least, they let the fans see a bright future about them. And until now, fans don't seem to have heard that their captain is leaving after the season, nor that any young main player is leaving. These are good signs for Arsenal fans who are a little fragile but have been tempered with very strong nerves.
After He Xu and his players walked around the stadium for a week, the fans still had no intention of leaving, standing in the stands, tirelessly waving their scarves and flags at the Gunners.
He Xu was also a little moved, this season at Arsenal, he felt as if he felt a different passion and attitude from this group of fans, which he had never felt in Ajax, Inter Milan or even Real Madrid.
In other words, although he is not very old, He Xu, who has traveled to four cities and can even be said to be five teams, found a sense of belonging at Arsenal for the first time. Originally, according to the situation at this time of year, He Xu should have already started to find Susan to help him contact a new team. But this time, he was still quiet here, and he didn't cause any trouble for Susan.
He Xu really doesn't have any special feelings about this, but Arsenal fans are very moved and satisfied with his persistence this time. After all, fans of no team want their team to change a captain every year and sell a core every year.
When the Arsenal fans finally reluctantly left the stands, He Xu finally returned to the dressing room with his teammates, after all, he had to attend the last press conference of the season.
returned to the locker room, He Xu found that Wenger had not shown up before, but stayed alone in the locker room, silently in a daze at the team's previous group photo. He Xu walked over and patted him on the shoulder from behind, "Let's go!" Arsène! It's time to go to the press conference! ”
He Xu actually always thought that Wenger was silently sad, but when Wenger stood up and turned around, He Xu found that his old coach was having a very bright smile on his face.
He Xu was stunned, what's wrong with this old guy? Could it be that everyone is too big and confused?
Wenger smiled at He Xu, "Let's go!" My captain, I suddenly felt like I could tell reporters at a press conference what our goals for next season were. What do you guys think? ”
He Xu touched his forehead and asked, "What is the goal you said?" ”
Wenger said as he walked out, "Of course it's the league champion?" Otherwise, what do you think? Fourth in the league? All right! Come on! Journalists have been waiting for this for a long time! Our press officer seems to be on the verge of losing it! If he doesn't go out, he'll be eaten by reporters! ”
When He Xu followed Wenger to the press conference, many reporters were obviously angry. When Wenger and He Xu appeared in people's field of vision, the team's press officer breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly came to Wenger's side, "Arsèna! Why are you here? Isn't that my life? These guys almost tore me apart just now. It's a bit too hard to deal with them! Hurry up! ”
As soon as Wenger and He Xu sat down, a reporter said in a weird manner: "Oops! It's not the same to be the runner-up in the league! All of a sudden, I lost my temper! If you win the league title, will the post-match press conference be cancelled? ”
Wenger hadn't spoken yet, but He Xu spoke first, "First of all, I apologize to everyone for being late for this press conference." But today is the last league game of the season, so it's a bit long since we've been thanking the fans! I hope you can understand, after all, the reports you make are also for the fans. Compared to reading the report, I think the fans should be more happy to have a close contact and interaction with us, right? ”
Regarding He Xu's implicit sarcastic words, Wenger naturally laughed in his heart for his captain's sharp words, but the reporter who raised the difficulty just now was embarrassed. He opened his mouth, not knowing how to continue this conversation with He Xu, although He Xu's words didn't seem to be aimed at him.
After He Xu finished speaking, Wenger didn't make any explanation, but looked at the reporter who was robbed of everything.
These reporters have to sigh that now the captain is not only very sharp on the field, but also seems to be very lethal in his speech. (To be continued......)
