Chapter Ninety-Nine: The First Round of the Premier League

Before the start of the season, Arsenal FC actually planned to come to Asia for several friendly matches, which is commonly known as the "Asian tour" to make money.

Because of the recent excellent performance of the equation, Arsenal's attention in the country has continued to rise.

Then the Arsenal club chose to come to China for a friendly match and gain more popularity, which is reasonable.

However, I don't know what happened during this period, and in the end, the club did not choose to come to Asia, but made an appointment with Dortmund and Inter Milan for friendly matches.

So, Equation decided to go back to London first.

As for Sister Wang's family in his hometown, he wanted to help.

However, who knew that Wang Hong decisively refused, saying that he was going back to his hometown, and this place should also be handed over to him.

After so many days of getting along, he already knew that Sister Wang's family was an ordinary person who kept to themselves, and he didn't want to owe favors.

Since it didn't work to help in person, he decided to let the female assistant Jiang Li indirectly help Sister Wang's family.

Then, on June 29, Equation flew back to London.

Arsenal's first friendly was on 18 July.

The first round of the Premier League is on 11 August.

Although the game has not started yet, the training base is always open.

Once back, Equation begins to train in a planned interval manner.

He is not the only one who has come to the training base, Saka has come back after a trip, and the youngster Smith Rowe from the academy, nicknamed Ronaldo, has also come to train.

At the end of the day's training, the equation gave them a gift.

That's it – a small transparent glass jar!

"It's!"

Saka felt very curious, as if he had seen it somewhere, "I know this, this seems to be some kind of healing appliance, right?" ”

Equation nodded, "Yes, many athletes will choose this ancient method of recovery, we call it cupping, should you give it a try?" ”

"OK, I want to try!"

Saka was eager to speak.

S Luo also felt curious, and followed Saka to try,

As a result, the first contact with cupping, the young man screamed incessantly, as if he was being tortured.

Saka was very calm, lying on his stomach and playing with his mobile phone.

Equation laughed so hard that he filmed this scene and posted it on his social media.

Many netizens saw this mysterious oriental technique for the first time, so they left a lot of surprised little yellow bean expressions in the comment area.

By 2 p.m., the training sessions of several people were over. The equation drove back to "Xihai No. 1".

After all, the game hasn't started yet, and they choose to train in order to maintain their own condition.

The equation parked the car in the underground garage and headed for the elevator.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Fang!"

When the security guard saw him, he took the initiative to say hello, and then helped him press the elevator very familiarly.

"Bolt Q, mate."

Equation flicked his fist with him in a friendly manner.

The other party smiled happily, obviously liking this way of communication.

Entering the elevator, the equation said goodbye, and then he pulled out his phone, ready to think about what to eat for the evening.

But suddenly, the elevator door slowly opened again.

The equation was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously thought that the elevator was broken, because no other owner came back just now.

As a result, as soon as the door opened,

I saw a pretty girl outside with her waist crossed, and she was so tired that she was panting.

"I'm tired of it, leave me here alone, damn little spirit."

She frowned slightly, her mouth still in pieces. I saw a large cardboard box half a person wide at my feet.

Equation was stunned, feeling as if he had seen her somewhere

Lin Qiaoxin noticed the gaze of the security guard next to her, and then looked into the elevator.

"Old. Schoolmate?? ”

Lin Qiaoxin was stunned,

I didn't expect to meet him here!

When he heard the words of his classmates, he instantly remembered the memory of his previous study.

"Oh, you're that, that, who's coming?."

The equation stumbled and said, and he didn't think about it for a while.

Lin Qiaoxin couldn't help but be angry, "It's Lin Qiaoxin, you don't remember me?" It's too much! Fang big star!! ”

Equation smiled and changed the subject, "By the way, why did you come to London too?" ”

Lin Qiaoxin snapped, pressed the elevator door that was about to close again, and said unhappily: "What's the matter, shouldn't I come here?" ”

Equation Yile hurriedly explained: "No, I was just surprised, old classmates, don't misunderstand." ”

Lin Qiaoxin snorted lightly and said, "Anyway, Xiao Lingling and I both came to London to study, and we only moved here recently, so I said how do you feel that this Xihai No. 1 is a little familiar."

That's why!

The equation asked, "What floor does you live on, do you want to enter the elevator?" ”

"On the 10th floor." Lin Qiaoxin suddenly felt a little aggrieved and said, "This carton is very heavy, big star, aren't you willing to help your former classmates?" ”

Equation smiled and said, "I can help, but why do you have to look for me?" You can also ask Mr. Desily next to you for help. ”

Desily only smiled, and he could tell that the equation was joking with his friend.

Lin Qiaoxin puffed up and said, "Good duck, are you so stingy?" Okay, then, if you help me, then I'll treat you to dinner in the evening! It's always okay to trade fairly! ”

The equation blinked, but he didn't expect to be able to get a dinner like this, so he sighed and said, "Okay, since the old classmate said so, I might as well be respectful." ”

Lin Qiaoxin couldn't help but grit his teeth when he saw that he was finally willing to help, and felt that it was deliberate!

Then, the equation also picked up the cardboard box with a little difficulty, and he was a little surprised, and he didn't know how the delicate Lin Qiaoxin moved it.

Then, he got up and pressed the number of floors of the elevator, only to suddenly remember a fatal problem.

"What's the matter, don't you follow your own floor?" Lin Qiaoxin looked suspicious and squinted.

The back of the equation is a little stiff, "This, I also live on the tenth floor"

As he spoke, he coughed awkwardly.

Lin Qiaoxin bit his silver teeth. Feel the fist hard!

Back in the house, Lin Qiaoxin was still a little depressed.

I feel like I'm being bullied.

Knowing people and knowing faces but not knowing their hearts, after this person becomes famous, he will really become bad!

At this time, the door lock clicked over there,

Then, Yang Ling entered the house with a large bag and a small bag.

"Are you back, Qiaoxin?"

"You don't know, the domestic things sold outside are so noble, and when you look at the price, you don't know what kind of high-end imported products you think"

Yang Ling complained while changing his shoes.

However, no sound came from the house.

She felt strange, and looked at it,

I saw Lin Qiaoxin sitting on the sofa in the living room, her expression like she had lost her soul.

Yang Ling walked over and said suspiciously: "What's the matter, didn't you say that things were too heavy before, you waited for me to move it together, why are you back by yourself now, what are you thinking about alone?" ”

Lin Qiaoxin pursed his lips and said, "Because that big star lives next door, I asked him for help just now, and he deliberately made things difficult." ”

Yang Ling was a little unresponsive, "Wait, which star??" ”

"Equation, who else but him."

β€œ.”

Yang Ling's eyes were stunned, and he suddenly felt incredible. We're right next door to him?

"How could it be so coincidental?"

Yang Ling quickly calmed down. Suddenly it all felt like it was arranged.

"Who knows, sometimes that's how coincidental it is, unless." Lin Qiao's expression was stunned suddenly, and he looked at Yang Ling and said, "Unless your father bought it here on purpose."

"Forget it, don't guess." Yang Ling thought for a while and said, "Sometimes the circle is so small, let's still think about today's dinner." ”

When Lin Qiaoxin heard the dinner, he said, "By the way, I just said that I would invite him to dinner, after all, he helped me carry such a heavy thing, so I should pay him back, right?" ”

"Okay, they're all old classmates anyway, and now they're in a foreign country, so they think it's helping each other." Yang Ling said.

After the equation returned to the house, he felt that it was too coincidental for Lin Qiaoxin and Yang Ling to live next door.

It felt as if someone was planning behind it.

But again there is no evidence.

The equation felt a little contradictory, and suddenly I didn't want to go to dinner. However, when I saw that the time had come, I was invited to come next door.

Dinner is the most common Chinese dish, with three dishes and one soup.

Everyone is an old classmate, and there are still topics, so I didn't feel embarrassed.

In addition, Yang Ling also likes to play football, and chatting is quite easy.

He also popularized science: "Don't be surprised that when you see rain in London in the future, passers-by don't have umbrellas." Because the wind is very strong, the umbrella is useless, and the rain comes and goes quickly. ”

"Then what should you do, can't you hide for the time being?" Lin Qiaoxin asked.

The equation answers: "Yes, people who are in a hurry just wear clothes and hats." In addition, the water quality is very hard, you must not use direct drinking water outside, you will lose your hair if you drink too much. ”

Yang Ling was surprised: "No wonder I saw a lot of the Mediterranean Sea as soon as I got off the plane. ”

"Really? Then we have no problem with this meal, right? Lin Qiaoxin asked dumbfoundedly.

Equation smiled: "We must have no problem here, the water source of the entire building has been filtered again, so you can drink it with confidence." ”

Lin Qiaoxin breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good"

She didn't want to go bald anyway.

After dinner, after a little more small talk, the equation went back.

However, not long after this meal, Yang Ling invited him to his house two days later.

After asking specifically, it turned out that she wanted to join the women's football team in the Premier League and use her spare time to play games, and she wanted to know the specific situation from the equation.

Equation wanted to continue the plan of rubbing rice, so he agreed to Yang Ling, saying that he had time to go to the club and ask about the Premier League women's football team.

And time flies,

In the blink of an eye, the first round of the Premier League is about to officially begin.

Arsenal have played average in their previous four friendlies, with one win, two draws and one defeat.

Five goals scored and only two conceded are proof of how solid Arsenal's defence has become.

The team's new signing, Thomas, is very tough in the midfield position, has skills at his feet, and is not afraid of physical confrontation, and is fully capable of playing as a single midfielder.

The original Iwobi had no choice but to transfer to Everton and transform into a midfielder.

At the back, Arsenal have also made a big move, with Monreal moving away. Papastathopoulos remains the main centre-back, with Gabriel partnering him.

As for the return of Arsenal's central defender Saliba, he rotated.

Up front, Professor Arsene Wenger also made a change, with Ronaldo playing as a left winger, Alexandre Lacazette in the centre, and Bukayo Saka finally stabilizing on the right wing.

Seeing these changes, the equation felt very familiar, and he was a little skeptical that Professor Wenger had a good personal relationship with Arteta.

And the position of the equation is naturally in the front court, Professor Wenger has given a lot of trust in the new season, he is the team's front court free man!

Two strikers, grabbing points, organizing goals, breaking through on the wing, etc., are at his disposal.

Arsene Wenger also gave him the status of second captain, including the first penalty taker for free-kicks on the pitch.

The jersey number has also been changed to 10!

It's fair to say that Professor Arsene Wenger has positioned him as the heart of the team.

Naturally, his team-mates will support the manager's decision.

Equation's performance in the team is quite perfect, no one can find fault with it, plus he can play well and laugh and talk to anyone.

Therefore, the team-mates have a good impression of the core of the team's midfield.

Captain Xhaka has also been covering the equation, so naturally no one will jump out and make trouble without a long eye.

On August 7, the first round of the Premier League officially began.

Arsenal travel to Brentford.

And Brentford has a rather loud nickname, called Little Bee. Because their crest is the emblem of a bee.

This thing is the most ruthless thing to stab people, and if you are not careful, you will be pierced all over your head. In the future, many of the top 6 teams will be stung by small bees.

Equation didn't expect Brentford to be promoted to the Premier League so soon.

He thought to himself that he would definitely be able to go all out in this game, and he couldn't give the little bee a chance to sting people and strive to complete the start of the new season.

Naturally, the team-mates and the manager think the same way! Everyone did their homework on this promoted team before the race.

At the beginning of the game, Arsenal maintained high pressure and treated the away game as home, so that the opponent Brentford could not transmit the ball.

Soon, Brentford were forced to clear the ball with only a big foot.

Arsenal gathered a limited number of troops and began to attack.

However, the reason why the little bee can stab people is because of its simple and efficient offense and sharp defensive counterattack.

In the face of Arsenal's goal, the whole team of the Bees was calm.

Time flies, and after the offense has not entered the penalty area,

The equation can only resist the interference of the opponent, try to force the inside line, and choose to shoot into the far corner with one kick!

But

The audience roared,

The ball was blocked by the opposing centre-backs with their bodies.

Xhaka grabbed the football on the periphery, but the opponent's Janelt suddenly rushed over, pulled Xhaka for a while, and actually snatched the football.

Fortunately, Thomas's toe was hard, and he immediately pounced and stabbed the ball at Janelte's feet.

This time, Arsenal strangled the little bees with a great counter-attacking opportunity.

Still, the equation doesn't feel secure,

Because the referee's whistle was too loose, which was obviously beneficial to the bees' counterattack.

He thought about it and decided to give up the ball, after all, if he didn't pay attention, he had been besieging for more than ten minutes now, and it was time to release the formation of the little bees.

It's time to try it too, they fight back against the little bees!

Sure enough, after the bees got the ball, they were a little unsure of the direction, some players wanted to continue to defend, and some players wanted to try attacking.

Suddenly, the little bee's Christian chose a long pass, wanting to find Mbeumo in the front court, and play the simplest long pass to rush and hang!

However, Papastathopoulos was on the right track, and he stepped out decisively, grabbed in front of Mbeumo and gave the ball to Xhaka, who was not far away.

The football jumped in front of him, Xhaka only glanced ahead, and before the opponent grabbed again, he decisively countered a long pass from the little bee!

"Xhaka has passed!!"

"Attack and defense suddenly switched, they hit Brentford's counterattack!!"

"Arsenal have three more up front! Who is the long pass to find? It's the equation!! ”

"How does he handle passing ?!!"

The Premier League commentator was excited, his eyes were motionless, for fear of missing a crucial second!

The whole audience is also focused, just see how this long pass is unloaded!

Because there is also a close defense of the defender in front of the equation,

As long as he doesn't stop a little, he will be shoveled by the other party!

Especially the football falling from a high altitude, the inertia is very large, which tests the player's ability to stop the ball!

However, the equation glanced back and instantly predicted the trajectory of the long pass.

At this time, there was a sudden flash of inspiration!

The equation moved,

There was no sign of stopping, and he continued to run inside.

Lacazette ran diagonally into the box to distract his opponents.

Christian was a little uneasy, and he couldn't figure out the idea of the equation, so he could only continue to retreat from the limit!

Almost instantly, the football fell, and under the shocked gaze of the audience, the football slammed into the back of the equation!

At the moment of contact, the equation instinctively tightened its waist, and the inertia of the football was perfectly removed in an instant!

The ball falls to the left behind him, that is, to the left of the front edge at the top of the arc.

Christian was also shocked, his retreating figure couldn't stop the car, and he didn't expect the equation to choose such a surprising way to stop the ball!

In front of him, a very rare shooting space appeared in an instant!

The equation turned around sharply and picked up his left leg directly, which was a long shot from a heavy artillery!!

With a loud bang, the ball was extremely fast, turning into a straight line and instantly crashing into the bottom of the crossbar of the goal!

The net is lifted high!

Arsenal broke the deadlock on the pitch!!

β€œgooooooooalll!!! ————”

"An unimaginable stop, Arsenal's No.10's amazing long-range shot! Finally breaking the door of Brentford!! ”
