"Boss, I just took a look, and Mr. Dennis doesn't seem to be there?"

In the first class cabin of the flight, little Giroud waved his head from side to side with some curiosity, sitting on the side near the window, Chen Mo took his eyes off the notebook, and raised his eyebrows strangely: "You don't know this?" ”

"I don't know if it's a fear of heights?"

Giroud shook his head in confusion, he didn't expect that the other party had come to Arsenal for so long and hadn't even studied the past of Bergkamp, the legend of the team, Chen Mo rolled his eyes, "Your news is too ill-informed." It's not a fear of heights, early on Dennis was going to play Suriname with the Dutch national youth team, when Ajax was reluctant to let go, but he didn't expect that the plane on which the team was flying was killed in a plane crash, including his Dutch teammates. ”

"Wow! So scary?! ”

Giroud was shocked, Chen Mo nodded: "It's not just that, later he went to the World Cup in the United States, but the plane was threatened with a bomb on the way back, that is, since then, he has never dared to fly again." In cross-border continental competitions like this, he either takes the train or drives himself, haven't you seen that he was not there in the first two days of training? It's early departure. ”

"It's such a scary experience, I don't dare to fly anymore, but this will definitely affect the state of the game."

"Definitely, but it can't be helped, he'd rather not compete if he was allowed to fly."

Chen Mo shrugged his shoulders and raised the notepad in his hand: "Okay, okay, he will solve Dennis's matter by himself, let's focus on studying the opponent, Mr. Wenger said that it is very likely that you will be sent off the bench in the second half of this game." Be careful if you don't play well, and you will always sit on the cold board in the future! ”

"Oh ~ Oh yes!" Giroud nodded honestly, suddenly thought of something, and looked at the name on Chen Mo's notebook: "Boss, I heard that this Riquelme and you are competitors of the national team?" ”

"This kind of gossip that can't be beaten by eight poles is quite well-informed."

Chen Mo rolled his eyes again: "I feel that it is a bit reluctant to say that it is a competitor, mainly because Mr. Pekerman was elected as the head coach of the Argentine national team in the 06 World Cup, and I and Riquelme were both raised by him in the World Youth Championships, I am the 02 World Youth, Riquelme is the 97th World Youth and plays in a similar position, so there is some unscrupulous media hype in the outside world." ”

"Haha, that's not unscrupulous media hype. Xiao Mo, you guy has been in the greenhouse for a long time, and you have no idea how dark and fierce the competition in the national team is! ”

The two were chattering, and Ashley Cole in the front seat suddenly collapsed the entire sofa, lying down and looking at Chen Mo with a smile: "The exposure rate of the World Cup is much higher than that of the five major leagues and the Champions League, and many players were unknown before, but they were immediately coaxed by the upstream teams after playing an amazing performance on the World Cup stage." This is real money and status, so the competition is very fierce, and it is not only a competition between individuals, but also between factions!

Like you Argentina, the new generation of Riquelme, Aimar and Solin are all playing in La Liga, especially Riquelme and Sorin, who we will face the day after tomorrow, they are teammates of Villarreal, and the relationship is naturally better, and the older generation of Zanetti, Veron and Samuel are also teammates at Inter! The most important thing is, hehe, I heard that there are not only a lot of contradictions between these two factions, but also overlapping positions, and it is almost impossible to coexist! ”

"Yes, otherwise why do you think Veron didn't stay and wait for opportunities after Chelsea lost his main position in the summer window, but also went to Inter Milan on loan to find Zanetti and Samuel after cutting his salary? The undercurrent, in fact, has already begun to surge. ”

Pire, on the other side of the aisle, took off his headphones, and Ashley Cole rolled his eyes: "Oh! You guy doesn't even listen to songs with headphones?! ”

"Ahem, it's all trifle."

Pire coughed dryly, looked at Chen Mo, and said seriously: "This is not asking you to fight, I just want to tell you that the World Cup, which symbolizes the highest honor, is held every four years, and for the vast majority of players, there are only one or two opportunities to participate in a lifetime." And you, although you made a name for yourself at such a young age and had the opportunity to be selected for the national team squad, even if you maintain a good physical condition, you will not participate in five times at most. There are only five chances in a lifetime, and even because of the staffing, the changes in the coaching staff and the sudden injuries will become fewer, so I recommend that you take it seriously and plan ahead. ”

Pire rarely said so much, Chen Mo took a deep breath, and the corners of his mouth hooked into a smile: "I understand, but, big guys, should we focus on the next game now?" ”

"Oh, you guy is so bad! Come over here and let me hit it twice! ”

"Hit hard!"

.

15 September 2004, Villarreal, Spain.

The sun is shining and the sky is clear.

From a bird's-eye view, a football stadium with yellow stands sits next to the beautiful Mediterranean Sea, and the orange stands are only two or three streets away from the blue water, and you can even smell the salty sea water in the air, and here is the home of La Liga powerhouse Villarreal - Love Song Stadium.

"Come on! We are - yellow submarines! ”

"Arsenal! Face our snipers! ”

"Riquelme will drag you all into the water!!"

"Who is Chen Mo?! We don't know! We only know two Argentines! He called—"

"Thorin!"

"He's called!"

"Riquelme !!"

With 22,000 seats, it seems a bit petty, but the fans don't care, and countless Villarreal fans in orange and yellow jerseys occupy the entire stand, cheering and cheering like a tsunami, while Arsenal fans, who can't buy tickets at all, can only curl up in the square behind the goal on the right.

"Wow, the atmosphere at the scene today is really warm, it's been a long time since I've seen such a high attendance rate in the Love Song Stadium!"

"Haha, that's right, who let today be their first Champions League group stage since the team's establishment, this is definitely a historic moment for the fans of the Yellow Submarine! Hello everyone, I'm today's commentator Yato. ”

"Hello everyone, I'm your old friend Galen. Anyway, Villarreal, who miraculously qualified for the Champions League last season with a good finish of fourth place in La Liga, I have to praise someone here. ”

"Oh? Who is it? ”

"Riquelme! The arrival of the Argentine midfielder is a huge improvement for the whole team, you must know that they have been hovering around the top ten in the 0203 season, but the whole team has been revitalized immediately after Riquelme joined! ”

"It's true that his dribbling in midfield is too organised, but it can't be attributed to him, and Diego Forlan up front is also a vital part. Last summer window, the Uruguayan striker, who was depressed at Manchester United, accepted Villarreal's invitation to come to the Love Song Stadium, and then what everyone didn't expect happened, the striker who played at Manchester United for a whole year without any results and was called "Manchester United's worst signing in half a century" came to the Love Song Stadium and formed a partnership with Riquelme and immediately came to life!

Twenty-three goals in 37 rounds, the terrifying goal efficiency allowed him to win the La Liga Golden Boot directly, and even Henry was only seven goals away from the European Golden Boot! I don't know who is better in this Champions League group stage! ”

"Yes, the terrifying Uruguayan striker vs. the king of Highbury, everyone wants to watch such a match! But I believe that fans will not only pay attention to Henry and Fran in this game, but another point they should pay attention to should be the clash between Riquelme and Chen Mo! Seven assists in five Premier League games, with a post-game rating of more than 8 points in each game, such a terrifying result coupled with his handsome appearance has made Chen Mo, a seventeen-year-old player, gain a lot of fans in Argentina!

On the other hand, the twenty-six-year-old Riquelme, although his best club result is only to reach the fourth place in La Liga, he once won the Argentine Footballer of the Year for two consecutive years in 00 and 01, and in 01, he won the Argentine Footballer and South American Footballer together, and has a very solid fan base in Argentina! Moreover, it is said that the head coach of the Argentine national team, Mr. Pekerman, intends to recruit Chen Mo in the 06 World Cup in Germany, so the fans of both sides are inseparable and regard this game as a battle for the right name! ”

"Haha, interesting, but that's football! The alternation of the new generation with the old generation can sometimes be very warm, but sometimes sparks will fly! ”

Commentaries and cheers echoed outside the players' tunnel, and Riquelme stood next to him, but Chen Mo didn't talk to him, just leaned against the wall and chewed gummies to himself and chatted with Giroud.

Riquelme spent a year at Barça, but the two sides didn't have much to do with each other.

Unlike Saviola, who is unruly and enthusiastic when faced with people who are pleasing to the eye, Riquelme is a very eccentric person, who cannot be said to be arrogant, and introverts cannot be said to be introverted, he is the kind of person who has a completely own understanding of the world, and at the same time is extremely stubborn, and does not listen to the advice of others.

Chen Mo didn't like to deal with such a difficult person to communicate with, but his cold performance turned into a provocation in the eyes of the hot-tempered Sorin, especially in this sensitive period.

However, he didn't go crazy, he just kept staring at Chen Mo with vicious eyes and felt the gaze, but Chen Mo was too lazy to take care of it, but this scene was seen by the captain Vieira next to him, and he stepped forward directly to block Chen Mo.

"Keep your eyes on it!"

"It's your business!"
