Chapter 115: Comeback
This ins was released, and soon a lot of fans left messages below.
"Brother Fang Niu Niuniu, I won the Kopa Award this year, and I will win another Golden Globe Award next year, isn't it too much?"
"Mr. Mu was about to be by your kid, he lost to you in the Champions League before, and now he is giving the award in person with a smile, this time it is really a bond."
"It's over, Mr. Mu is already holding his breath, and he will definitely beat Arsenal in the second leg, right?"
"Mu is always who, steaming is not cooked, don't bother thank you."
It didn't take long for
posted the ins of the Kopa Award, which attracted a lot of messages from domestic players.
Gao Lin, the main striker of Hengtai, was the first to come over to leave a message, but he only left two small expressions of soybeans, and soybeans kept their saliva, very envious of the appearance of the Kopa Award.
Then, Hengtai's fullback Zhang Linpeng also came to leave a message, leaving a string of love.
Zhang Huaji's strength is very close to Real Madrid's Ramos, so he was nicknamed Zhang Moss, and it was once rumored that he was going to join Chelsea.
After domestic fans saw the messages of these two players, they immediately made sharp comments under their messages.
"Gao Plane, don't train well yet, what kind of waves are you rushing on the Internet."
"I'm going, it's scary, I thought I saw someone!"
"It turned out to be Zhang Mos, lie down, don't contribute to the famous scene again."
"It's over, the good mood of the day is over after seeing your messages."
Of course, this is not over yet, and the teammates of the equation soon came to the following to leave a message of congratulations, including Messi and Ronaldo also praised his ins.
Later, the official Arsenal account also reposted his photo.
Relying on the rapid spread of the Internet,
For a while, many foreign fans who didn't know him also knew that there was such an outstanding Oriental player.
But it's not over yet, and on October 24, the Italian newspaper Torino Sports also announced this year's Golden Boy Award.
The winner is also Arsenal's No.10 player, Equation.
This is the first time in history that one person has won the Kopa Award and the Golden Boy Award.
European football was suddenly set off by a storm, and many football legends said in interviews that this star from the East will definitely be able to change world football.
However, Equation did not attend the Golden Boy Award ceremony, and he stayed at home in London on the grounds of recuperation.
After all, as the old saying goes, people are afraid of being famous, and pigs are afraid of being strong.
He has become a bit famous recently, and he thinks it's better to go out as little as possible, so as not to let others get pink eye.
This choice is undoubtedly the right one.
Because on November 14th,
The national team lost the last match of the first stage of the Asian Qualifiers, losing to Syria, resulting in second place.
Although there was no first place, the men's football team barely made it to the second stage of the group stage.
The second stage of the competition is not until 2021, and there is still more than a year to go. It can be said that there is still a lot of time left for Xia Guo's team.
During this period, Du Wenliang and Le Xiaoshuang still did not play a national team game. After the loss to Syria, many domestic fans are blaming the head coach for the selection and appointment of personnel.
Although Du Wenliang has been watching the water cooler at Manchester United, which domestic player can be favored by Manchester United. And in the eyes of fans, Le Xiaoshuang's speed breakthrough ability is no domestic player can compare.
But the manager didn't even give a chance to come off the bench.
Everyone joked on the Internet, saying that when Brother Fang came, he had to watch the water dispenser honestly.
I couldn't understand the equation either, so I simply didn't read it.
And he had already recovered from his injuries in early November,
But as soon as he resumed training, the injury began to come and go.
Just when I couldn't help but exchange for the self-healing talent with side effects,
He only started training with the team on November 18.
At this time, the Premier League has entered the 11th round.
Arsenal's recent record has been up and down after a lack of a central midfield and are now provisionally fourth in the league.
1st place, Liverpool, 31 points.
Second place, Manchester City, 25 points.
Third place, Chelsea, 23 points.
Fourth, Arsenal, with 23 points.
Fifth, Leicester City, with 17 points.
Eighth place, Manchester United, 15 points.
10th place, Tottenham, 13 points.
And in the Champions League Group E standings,
Arsenal is in first place with a full win,
The second place is Paris Saint-Germain with 3 wins, 0 draws and 1 loss.
On this day on the 18th.
To celebrate his final comeback, two old classmates next door cooked another dinner at home.
"Arsenal are going to play Chelsea the day after tomorrow, will you play the big star?" Lin Qiaoxin asked him curiously.
The equation replied: "Do you want to say that this game is very important, if I don't play and Arsenal lose, they will be overtaken by Leicester City?" β
Lin Qiaoxin blinked, "The big star is so smart, he can actually guess what I want to say in advance." If Arsenal loses, they will really be squeezed out of the top four by Leicester City. β
Yang Ling reminded her: "As long as you talk a lot, do you still have time to talk during dinner?" β
Lin Qiaoxin said seriously: "Is this too much to talk about, I don't care."
'However, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has been playing really well at Chelsea lately, so if the big stars don't play, Arsenal might have a hard time playing, right?'
Lin Qiaoxin said a little uncertainly.
Equation nodded, "I know, but the lineup of the game is not something I can decide, everything depends on the manager's arrangement." Let's hope we can win. β
For this London derby, the outside world has been talking about it for a long time.
After all, the equation has been absent for more than a month, which has had a great impact on Arsenal, and is now about to be squeezed out of the top four.
If they fail to win at home against Chelsea, Arsenal will theoretically lose hope of winning the Premier League.
Now that the game has not started, the media in London have already started to warm up for this game.
'Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang seems to have shaken off his slump at Arsenal and regained his goalscoring efficiency at Chelsea. The game the day after tomorrow is important for both Chelsea and Arsenal. β
- The Times
'Arsenal shouldn't have let Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang go at the start of the season and his play will help them win games. The Oriental, on the other hand, has just made a comeback and is clearly not yet in a position to start for Arsenal. β
- Sky Sports
On November 20, under the heated discussion of the outside world, the London derby finally arrived.
8pm, Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea's formation is 433.
Goalkeeper: Kepa.
At the back: Azpilicueta, Christen, Rudiger, Alonso
Midfielders: Ross Barkley, N'Golo Kante, Mount
Front: Willian, Aubameyang, Pulisic
And Arsenal's formation is also 433.
Goalkeeper: Leno.
Back: Ben White, Gabriel, Papastathopoulos, Bellerin.
Midfielders: Equation, Thomas, Xhaka.
Up front: Saka, Haaland, Martinelli.
Because it was a crucial game, a race for the title and a fight for the fourth, Chelsea fans and Arsenal fans were not convinced, and the two sides were already fighting in the stands before the game even started.
The singing of the two teams was higher than one after another, and it was embarrassing which side had a small voice.
Lou Yichen, the commentator of this game, saw such a hot scene and sighed: "Today's Stamford Bridge stadium is particularly lively, this game will be good-looking, and the equation has just come back, Professor Wenger let him enter the starting lineup, and I don't know if his state has recovered." β
Liu Yue said: "I think this arrangement should have been carefully considered. The equation is probably in good shape, so let's look forward to a good performance. Haaland started today, which was a surprise to me. β
Lou Yichen said: "Yes, this is Haaland's first Premier League start. Interestingly, Chelsea's striker, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, struggled with his former club Arsenal last season. However, this season, Aubameyang has been very good at Chelsea, and it is unknown if he will be able to kill his old boss today. β
And when warming up,
Saka has not forgotten the previous bet, he smiled and said to Haaland and Equation: "Captain, I have scored four goals now, and then you and Haaland have not scored since the bet started. β
Equation smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's only the 11th round, and it's still a long time before the 15th round." β
Haaland nodded in agreement, "Yes, we are willing to gamble, but it's still early." β
"But the game is always the most important thing, and the bet is just a passing thing." The equation reminds us.
He glanced at Chelsea,
I saw Aubameyang's relaxed face, and he didn't seem to care about this match with his old club.
Saka nodded and said, "Yes, this game, we have to win." β
If they don't win, isn't that an indirect proof that they dragged down Aubameyang's performance last season?
suddenly
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang seemed to sense something and turned his head to look at Arsenal.
When he saw the heart of Arsenal's midfield, Aubameyang's eyes narrowed.
Pulisic noticed Aubameyang's gaze, and he also looked over, "Is this the Oriental?" Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, you've been team-mates with him before, he's really good? β
Aubameyang thought for a moment and said: "Generally, not as good as Kante in our team. β
Christian Pulisic smiled and said: "Then wait a minute, you have to score a few more goals. β
Aubameyang nodded and said confidently: "Rest assured, our goal this season is to compete for the Premier League title. β
"This game, I'm sure we can win it. We've done the pre-game work, so I won't say much, just remember to do your job. β
After saying that, manager Arsene Wenger clapped his hands and motioned for everyone to set off for the game.
Immediately, players from both sides came to the field.
The competition has officially begun.
Chelsea were given the kick-off.
N'Golo Kante sent in a through ball to find Aubameyang.
On Arsenal's side, Xhaka was following Aubameyang, and he would not be polite to this former team-mate, and directly collided sideways and grabbed the ball.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was knocked to the ground, but he waited for a long time without waiting for the referee's whistle.
Aubameyang was not convinced, and as soon as he got up, he complained to the referee.
However, the referee just shook his head and signaled to speak less, believing that Xhaka had just collided with a reasonable amount.
Aubameyang immediately held his breath in his heart.
And after Arsenal got the ball, the organization of the attack did not go very well, because Chelsea's top robbery was also fierce,
Chelsea's midfielder N'Golo Kante, in particular, has a strong sweeping ability in midfield, is short and runs well, and is often able to intercept the ball at the feet of the opposition with precision.
There is a saying circulating in the outside world -
There is no obstacle in the world that cannot be overcome, but there is a Kante that cannot be passed,
It's said that this honest and honest player whose strength is greater than his fame.
Soon, the equation sensed that Kante was watching him, making it difficult for him to turn around.
You have to pay more attention to the situation around you before receiving the ball.
At the same time, the space to pass forwards has obviously become narrower.
Equation receives a pass from a teammate and can only temporarily return a few safety passes.
"Phewβ"
There was an instant rush of boos at Stamford Bridge.
It's clear that the home fans know that this is the heart of Arsenal's midfield and it has to be targeted.
Chelsea were fierce and two minutes later they finally won the ball.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Christian Pulisic made a wall-to-wall link on the edge of the box.
Pulisic saw that he couldn't get into the box and decisively took turns to shoot.
Goalkeeper Leno immediately fell to the ground and blocked the shot, but the ball was not caught, and Gabriel kicked the ball off the touchline.
Lou Yichen exclaimed, "Aubameyang is in a bit good form today, and with Pulisic's collision with the wall, he almost broke through the door of Arsenal!" Luckily, Leno's response was quick. β
Chelsea threw the ball in and they pressed all the way up and started attacking around the Arsenal penalty area.
In this case, the equation also hurried to cooperate with teammates to defend together.
Pulisic saw that the football could not be passed, so he decisively crossed with his feet and found a gap in the penalty area.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was a quick runner and jumped to the top of his head.
The ball was redirected and flew off the crossbar, and the audience screamed.
Equation's face was slightly gloomy.
It seems that Aubameyang is really desperate to win the game.
And the ball came to Arsenal's side,
Chelsea didn't retreat and wanted to stay put. That's clearly what manager Thomas Tuchel has emphasised on the pitch.
Seeing that his teammates were under a lot of pressure, he immediately ran back to the back to catch the ball.
Thomas was so hard at the robbery that in a fit of urgency that he slammed the ball to the equation.
And Pulisic and Kante are being marked by Pulisic and Kante, facing this powerful pass,
The equation is like using a trick to move four or two thousand pounds, and with a slight lift of the foot, the football with great inertia is knocked to Xhaka.
Immediately afterwards, he turned around lightly and directly got rid of the Chelsea two's defensive area.
Xhaka saw his run and immediately sent in an early pass.
It was in the most dangerous of the up-pressure gaps that Arsenal did brilliantly to make a one-two.
Then, the equation caught up with the football, and the space in front of him instantly became empty, and he immediately sent a precise diagonal kick to the right side of the field.
Haaland was cutting forward at high speed, saw the direction of the pass and quickly pulled it wide.
Chelsea's two defenders hurriedly split into two lanes, one to follow Haaland and the other to supplement the middle.
In the end, however, Haaland ran in place and fired a shot into the far corner that slid past the goalkeeper.
Lou Yichen suddenly sighed, "It's almost!" The passing of the equation was already perfect, but it was a pity that Haaland's push was a millimeter away and he couldn't score the goal. β
Liu Yue also said with great regret: "Arsenal doesn't have many opportunities now, and we can't waste any more opportunities." β
