Chapter Twenty-Three: It's Hard

For a family watching the game with great interest, the result was not perfect, but it was not bad.

The home package sent by the club was in a good position, and the communication between the players during the game could be heard clearly without much interference. Yomo's advice to Vieira may not be known to anyone except the players on the field, and they can hear what Adams is yelling out clearly.

Words like "don't dare to take risks" and "what to run away from" are paired with angry facial expressions, and anyone knows that there is an article inside the team's locker room. This kind of thing is liked by the media, and the family is equally concerned, but it is not good to ask more.

After all, all of them are laymen except for Zhou Xiaofeng, and there are many subtle elements in the locker room that they can't master. They also understand that at this special stage, trying to adapt to local life and creating a good family atmosphere for him is what should be done seriously.

However, some can calm down, and some can't.

Before going to bed, Jiang Xiaolan was in her room.

The expectant mother has been pregnant for more than five months, and her appetite has been good, and the baby in her womb is growing at an amazing rate. If it weren't for the doctor's special reminder, the current situation would probably make people mistakenly think that labor was about to happen.

After You Mo helped her finish serving her shoes and socks with his hands and feet, he also got into the quilt and reached out to hug the guy who could no longer lie down and sleep. Pregnant women blowing air conditioners will have a bad effect on mother and child, which leads to the two of them rarely sleeping together throughout the summer.

It's mid-September now, and although it's hot at noon, it's cool in the morning and evening, and the two of them are lying close to each other, and it's inevitable that they will have some thoughts about moving.

The team travels to the road tomorrow to face the first opponent of the Champions League group stage, Paris Saint-Germain. Arsenal have had a perfect start to the league in addition to that. The Champions League signing is also good. In addition to the Ligue 1 flag to be played in the first round the day after tomorrow, the three opponents are Turkish league runner-up Galatasales and Serie A third-place Lazio.

The strength of the three opponents is not outstanding, and judging from Arsenal's current level and condition, it is not too difficult to try to qualify for the top spot in the group.

The time and place are already in place, what about people?

"During yesterday's game, your captain looked quite frightening."

Jiang Xiaolan wanted to sleep next to him face to face. Helplessly, the baby who is so powerful that he doesn't let it. Lying in the familiar crook of the arm and thinking aimlessly for a while, not only was she not sleepy, but the guy behind her who gradually raised her head aroused her careful thoughts, so she reached out and grabbed it, and asked casually.

"It's not easy for him to be the captain, and he has to think about it before he gets angry."

You Mo had already entered a state of half-sleep, and his brother was held in his hand as a handle, so he naturally woke up and made a little effort in his hand. Let the two stick tighter.

"Ah, in that case, after he got angry yesterday, will he be held a grudge and find a chance to retaliate?"

Jiang Xiaolan consciously made a seamless plan, she was happy in her heart, and she didn't forget the right thing in her hands, and her five fingers were quite flexible when she rubbed them up and down.

"It's inevitable that a small number of people will hold grudges. The key is to grasp the aspirations of the people. You Mo had already seen her careful thoughts, and she didn't hide anything. While telling the truth, I carefully measured the size of the baby's rice bowl with my fingers in the future.

"Oh, does it mean that as long as you do it right, you are not afraid of being held by others?" Jiang Xiaolan slowed down her movements and thought carefully.

"Anyone who can be a captain is not afraid of this kind of thing. It's a pity that in addition to not being afraid. You have to think about the big picture. In this situation, you have to take the scale right, and you have to consider the attitude of the manager. ”

"Yesterday I thought it was pretty good, after he yelled, you played a lot better than before."

"Well, if I hadn't gotten involved. It's a happy ending. ”

Hearing this, Jiang Xiaolan's heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

Really!

"I didn't see you how, your English is still not passing, are you?"

"yes, it was just a suggestion, and it didn't get followed. The captain couldn't stand it and roared. ”

Such a breezy answer did not diminish Jiang Xiaolan's worry in the slightest, and her body, which had already entered the state, quickly tightened, and even her voice trembled a little when she spoke.

"In that case, you'll be hated by them too, right?"

"Well, if you're not in the state, you're still sultry, and it's bad to learn from Sister Dan." You Mo finished his work with some difficulty, and he didn't dare to move when he was stuck in a position that couldn't go up or down.

The current month of the expectant mother is not too big, and if the condition is stable, it will not be a problem to gently and gently come from behind. It's a pity that the guy who did it first was so distracted that his body couldn't keep up with the rhythm.

"Do you know a lot of people in the team? I mean, it's more talkative. Jiang Xiaolan still had the heart to do this, curled up her legs lying on her side a little, and asked busily.

"The guy who scored yesterday."

"He? You're new like you, how are you treated in the team? ”

"It's not bad, the popularity is very good."

"What about you?"

"Too many wives make people jealous."

"you!"

Jiang Xiaolan's mind settled for a while, and the sensations of her body gradually found with the other party's skillful movements, and the soft voice seemed to come from the depths of her body, which was extremely tempting.

This trick was obtained by her from Master Wang, and it was a little sluggish at first, but after she really put herself into it, she didn't make a sound and felt uncomfortable.

"Hum that's so nice." You Mo sped up his pace a little, and praised verbally by the way.

"Don't dare to push too hard." Jiang Xiaolan didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly reminded.

"Don't worry, have you figured out what to call it?"

"Well, I thought about it before, but then I thought it would be more appropriate to hand it over to my parents."

"Yes, they don't even have children, and they are probably very keen on naming such things."

"Are you still going to go to school?"

Hearing such a question, Jiang Xiaolan was a little dazed.

College life was good for her, but unfortunately the time was too short, and she didn't have time to put some of her ideas into action, and the changes in her life had made her lose the idea of continuing. At this time, when the old things were brought up again, she was inevitably a little stunned.

"I don't know."

"You and Sister Dan are just two extremes, just neutralize it."

"What do you mean?"

"The quality of education in the UK is quite famous in the world, don't you want to go to a prestigious school?"

Hearing this, Jiang Xiaolan continued to be stunned.

The middle school affiliated to the Chinese College of City C that she studied in middle school can be called a famous school in China. The most familiar places are Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard, Imperial College, and MIT. It is true that London is the world's financial centre. The number of prestigious schools is also impossible to count on one hand.

"After such a long delay, can you still get in?"

"If you have a heart, it's not difficult, let alone me."

"You?"

"Of course."

"The British are so rigid, will you look at me differently because you play football well?"

"It's man-made."

On September 16, the first round of the Champions League group stage began.

Paris Saint-Germain has not yet been put in front of their name, and the team still maintains the true level of Ligue 1. In comparison, the team that has just spent 10.6 million euros to bring in "Flying Birds" Okocha from Fenerbahce is not on the same level as the Arsenal team with a luxurious squad.

Ligue 1 teams are never short of technical players. What prevents them from progressing further in the top five league rankings is the team's integrity and tactical discipline. Such a league is a paradise for African-American players, and although many South American players eat here, not many choose to stay in the end.

Salary, fame, honors, what Ligue 1 teams can offer players is not top-notch, and South American players tend to have high morale. The expectations of compatriots are also more focused on the other four leagues. Most of the African brothers came from a miserable background, and it is easy to be content to have a place to earn a lot of money.

Compared to other fellow Africans. The guy who set the world record for the transfer of a black player is markedly different.

The 25-year-old is in the prime of his career. What makes him stand at the top of the pyramid is that in addition to his exaggerated imagination and flexibility, there are also the following famous quotes.

"I'm a civilian player and I have an aspiration not to play for an aristocratic team."

This sentence is not the psychology of sour grapes. The leader who led Nigeria to the Africa Cup of Nations in '94 and the Olympic Games in '96 turned down offers from no less than five European giants.

The reason is a bit confusing, and most people speculate that the hatred of the rich is at work.

Arsene Wenger opted for rotation in the game due to fitness issues with a number of players in the closing stages of last weekend's game.

David Seaman was diagnosed with a knee injury during a pre-match medical check-up. Austrian Manninger was on the verge of being called in and appeared in the team's last line of defence. The four defenders from left to right are still Weinburn, Martin Keown, Adams, and Balder.

Although there are not many changes in the backline, there is no usual reassuring old goalkeeper to guard the last link, which will still have some impact on the Gunners.

In addition, Grimandi replaced the injured Petit in a back pair alongside compatriot Patrick Vieira. Parloor and Overmars played as left and right midfielders, while Wiltord and Jumo played as two strikers.

As soon as such a starting lineup was released, Martin Taylor and Andy Gray exclaimed.

"It's just that Petit and Seaman can't play due to injury, Anelka and Bergkamp are both absent from this heavyweight matchup, and Wenger is bold enough in the selection of the starting lineup!"

"The duo's performance in the last game was really not satisfactory, and it made sense to take the starting position decisively. It's just that I don't know if these players on the field can still show the gorgeous and suffocating offensive performances on the field without two offensive cores. ”

"Arsenal FC has invested heavily in Mo in order to launch the final sprint to the St. Bride Cup. This match is not only his first Champions League game, but also an important battle to prove his world-class level! ”

"Yes. There are many reasons why he has to sit on the bench and watch his teammates perform, but I think he's ready for these challenges. ”

"That's right, he didn't slack off when he didn't have enough tacit understanding with his team-mates, and his diligent running and positive attitude brought a welcome change to the team. If this change can be maintained, his amazing creativity will continue to surprise us when he is fully integrated into the team! ”

"Okay, the game will start soon, let's look forward to it together."

With the unanimous approval of the two senior commentators, You Mo's role on the field is far less impressive than his attitude.

As a Bundesliga Golden Boot full of gold, many halos are added. I was able to sit peacefully on the bench and wait for the call. This kind of thing happens to a guy who is less than 19 years old, which inevitably makes people curious and adds a lot of goodwill.

The English media have always been pervasive, and in order to flesh out the coverage, there are special cameras on the dugout and the bench in the broadcast of the game. In this situation, every move of the players and coaches is faithfully recorded for the media to select.

The expression is calm. The seriousness of the eyes contrasted with the dynamism of the pitch that the usually fastidious English media struggled to ridicule him for his technical shortcomings.

After all, it was Arsene Wenger who bought him, it was the Arsenal club, and if you want to laugh at him, you should laugh at them first!

There may be progress in the technology of the feet as an adult, but the space is already very small. Body. Awareness, experience, the continuous improvement of these things is the sign that a player has moved from youth to maturity. Youmo's style of play is obviously not on the same path as the Arsenal team, and this kind of thing does not need to be analyzed by professionals, and ordinary fans can see it clearly. Magnifying his flaws with a fancy-footed guy on the team is a deliberate thing.

7:30 p.m., Parc des Princes.

Youmo has been to this stadium twice, the first time to see the Anglo-French match. The second time was to watch the national football team play Argentina. It's the first time for him to actually stand on the lawn and experience the country's football culture.

Of course. It was also the first time for him that the European battlefield had been fought.

The romance of the French is fully integrated into football, which makes their games often more elegant than emotional. When the kick is smooth, you can quickly break down the opponent's defense line with a gorgeous attack, and when the kick is awkward. Like the Dutch team, it is easy to be the target of an upset for a weak team.

However, this is the stage where the French team is full of talent, and the wide selection of materials has masked these weaknesses. Head coach Jacques has been very clever in selecting players with strong body and will to form a core team and win the World Cup smoothly. The finger is on the European Championship in two years for the Netherlands and Belgium.

This approach has given Ligue 1 teams a good inspiration, and the teams in the new season have changed their appearances and no longer blindly pursue flashy scenes.

A change in the use of personnel will inevitably lead to a change in tactics, but this change is not a change in style, at most a single purely tactical choice is integrated into other elements, becoming more practical and dynamic.

Arsenal's original squad has always had an excellent record against Ligue 1 teams, which is actually an important reason for manager Arsene Wenger's big change. A native of France, he spent seven years in charge of Monaco and knows the style of play of these old rivals inside out.

"Hey, I'm not going to lose to you!"

When the whistle blew, Yumo, who teed off in the center circle, heard the greeting from his partner Wiltord.

So responded.

"If you treat me as an opponent, it will be harder."

It's been a long time since I've bubbled up and chatted with my book friends, and the reason is only one word, busy.

My wife opened two small shops, the baby was sick, and the Mid-Autumn Festival was connected with the National Day

It's easy to look forward to the end of the holiday, and when there is more time, I forgot to write a little bit.

Fortunately, seeing the support of book friends as always, and the results of this book gradually exceeded my expectations, I feel quite sure.

When I first started writing books, I was used to putting the whole world, my whole life. Now learn to be obedient, try to think of yourself as an ordinary observer, and write about what you see.

Arsenal are a very controversial team, and Arsene Wenger is one of them. At this point, this book will inevitably touch the cognitive bottom line of some book lovers and draw some conclusions that affect their mood.

Well, it's more important to be moderate, and the mood is the most important!

Thank you for your advice, which makes me feel recognized by my fellow believers. Thank you, T**, for your daily companionship that made you the first thing that came to mind after Arsenal's win over Manchester United last week.
