Chapter 215: Wind Kiapannin
"That big guy in Eevee is going to fight someone alone!"
"What? Where is it?! β
"It's right ahead! The opponent is Arsenal's Chen! β
"Ibrahimovic and Arsenal?! Haha, there's a good show to watch! β
The crowd was surging, the surrounding crowd was getting more and more, and countless people stood on tiptoe, stretched their necks and cast their expectant eyes on the two people in the open space in the middle, their eyes full of good looks.
Ibrahimovic is not the best striker in Europe, but he is definitely one of the most talked-about and well-known strikers. There are always things that make people laugh and cry where he is, not to mention that he and Arsenal have a past that many people know.
Around 2000, Arsene Wenger invited the 17-year-old Ibrahimovic, who was still playing in the Swedish league, to Arsenal, but after the two met, Wenger asked Ibrahimovic to attend a trial and take a closer look before deciding whether to sign.
At that time, Arsenal was in full swing, Bergkamp was in his early thirties, Henry was twenty-three years old, and the team had just snatched the Premier League and FA Cup double from Manchester United, but even in the face of such Arsenal, Ibrahimovic still thought that Wenger's failure to sign a contract with him was a contempt, and then there was the famous saying - [Zlatan never accepts trials], and now, Ibrahimovic's opponent is Arsenal's Chen Mo
With the super performance of landing in the Premier League this season, the outside news media has dug deeper and deeper into Chen Mo.
Before November, a reporter broke the news that Wenger had already contacted Chen Mo when he played the sponsorship cup in Japan in 01, and then he contacted Chen Mo's family many times in order to bring Chen Mo to Arsenal.
However, these are all chasing after the wind, and at first the audience fans didn't really believe it.
Until some time ago, Manchester United's chief scout released the 03 Spanish Copa del Rey semi-finals, and when the Premier League was still preparing for the tense league game, Wenger, dressed as a special agent, appeared strangely in the Bernabeu stands to watch the photos of Chen Mo's game.
and after Wenger showed Chen Fei and Lopez a suitcase of research materials in a cafΓ©, the whole world knew how much Wenger liked Chen Mo.
On the one hand, it is a trial and then considering whether to sign a contract, and on the other hand, it is chasing after him and continuing to follow up for several years.
"Let Zlatan feel your spirit!"
Looking at Chen Mo who was stepping on the ball with his right foot in front of him, there was a trace of excitement hidden under Ebu's relaxed gaze, he admired a tough guy like Chen Mo, but he was still unconvinced in his heart!
Soon, with the coquettish cheer of Antonella, who was the guest host, the street ball game began, and the audience's eyes became more and more excited and expectant, but Chen Mo, who was holding the ball, did not move forward with the ball, but stepped on the ball with his right foot to look at Ibrahimovic, and the corners of his mouth hooked a provocative smile.
βComeοΌbabyγβ
"This guy wants me to rob it!"
As a professional player, Ibrahimovic obviously knew Chen Mo's intentions, but he still did not hesitate, and rushed to Chen Mo in front of him amid the coaxing of the audience, and Chen Mo did not do anything to protect the ball with his back, constantly pouring his feet left and right, flashing and moving.
Seeing this scene, Iniesta, who was drinking tea at the door of the coffee shop, put down the hot cup and shook his head with a smile: "Xiao Mo, this guy still likes to play psychological warfare as always." β
"Normal, after all, Ibrahimovic's good-faced personality is well known, not to mention that this kind of small scene has nothing to do with the game."
Ramos nodded, looking at Chen Mo with a hint of appreciation and many sighs in his eyes, as an old rival from a small cadre to a big one, he has studied Chen Mo a lot.
Chen Mo's technical characteristics on the offensive end are fast speed, sufficient strength, and can carry out a large number of acceleration changes in the process of high-speed dribbling, and the impact is very strong, but in a small area where there is no sprint space, it is difficult to pass players with stronger physical fitness than him, not to mention that this is still playing on the pedestrian street in jeans Martin boots.
In this case, if you want to pass someone, you have to catch the opponent's mistakes, and the opponent is the easiest to make mistakes when he grabs, but generally speaking, there are few players who take the initiative to grab when they are not absolutely sure, so at this time, whether it is deliberately showing a little flaw with the ball forward, or saying some provocative trash talk, you must find a way to provoke the opponent to grab.
"Still. In the face of a big man like Ibrahimovic, who is super powerful and aggressive, can he protect the ball? β
A hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, Ramos picked up a piece of Lass Pisa and put it in his mouth, not only him, but Torres next to him looked sideways at Chen Mo, his eyes could also flash with thought. And Rooney, by the window on the second floor next door, is the old god eating turkey legs.
He is the player who has had the most physical confrontations with Chen Mo and the most times of forcing Chen Mo among all the people here, and he knows how strong Chen Mo's ability to protect the ball is, and it is not just relying on strength!
βHOOOOOοΌ Zlatan, you've been teased! β
"Wow, I didn't expect Chen to have this kind of ball protection action, it's a bit handsome."
"Damn! How good is his flower work?! β
The chatter of passers-by came into the cochlea, and when he stretched out his foot again to try to break the ball, a moment before touching the ball on his toes, the ball was pulled back by Chen Mo's left foot.
He knows that Chen Mo's ability to protect the ball is extremely strong, to be precise, everyone knows this, after all, Chen Mo is one of the players who has the most touches and the least number of steals in the five major leagues in the past half season, but in the past, Chen Mo left the impression that the world relied on physical strength to protect the ball, and rarely showed fancy moves, but now
Yi Bu was a little sore, Chen Mo, who was dribbling the ball, didn't know what he thought, but even if he knew, he would only smile crookedly, you must know that he had completely absorbed the [Golden Xiaoluo] a long time ago, and he knew that his sparse native foot feeling was a big pit, so he would be more attentive to the training of cultivating foot feeling such as juggling the ball every day.
It's just that his position in the game is said to be a midfielder, but because Wenger's football philosophy is very aggressive, when attacking, the two full-backs, including Essien, need to be responsible for the back insertion.
In many cases, even if he gets the ball in the front court, there is often only Flamini and two central defenders behind him, and he must be extra cautious and careful in protecting the ball, so he is mostly trying to be stable, unless he is breaking forward with the ball, he rarely uses fancy moves that are easier to make mistakes.
But it's a professional game where you can't make mistakes, and now it's a relaxed kick that doesn't need to be taken so seriously.
Soon, as the body slowly warmed up, the mood gradually rose, and in the cheers of the audience passers-by, ox tails, croquettes, and Marseille slalom all kinds of fancy moves came one after another, one to zero, two to zero, three to zero
"His footwork. Progress is so fast! β
Outside the cafΓ©, Ramos and Torres' eyes widened slightly, while Iniesta, who was still drinking tea just now, gradually became solemn, Ramos and Torres can't play in the Champions League this year, but they just sighed that they haven't seen Chen Mo's progress so rapid for a long time, but he Iniesta is different.
Barcelona are going to play in the Champions League this year, as long as they beat Manchester United in the round of 16, they are likely to meet Arsenal in the Champions League!
"What a horrible guy."
Iniesta shook his head slightly, a trace of strong fighting spirit flashed in his eyes, but this fighting spirit did not last long, just as Chen Mo pulled the ball back again to avoid Ibu's grab, and goose feathers and snow suddenly drifted in the sky.
Looking at the snowflakes falling in front of him, Chen Mo, who was shaking out of the air, did not shoot, and rubbed the ball with his right foot and right foot to pick the ball into the crowd, causing passers-by to scramble.
Glancing at the enthusiastic crowd, he turned his head and looked at Eevee: "Next time I have a chance to compete, the ground is going to be slippery." β
"Zlatan is just ready to exert his strength!"
"Okay, okay, you're right."
Ibu didn't admit defeat, Chen Mo rolled his eyes, shook his head and turned to leave, and then Ibu's voice came from behind him: "Listen, I will definitely kill you in the Champions League!" β
"Okay, okay, but only if you can make it to the finals, haha."
"This guy is so arrogant!"
Seeing Chen Mo take the coat from Kaoru Yuechi, looking like a winner in life, Ibu's nose was crooked, but Chen Mo didn't bother with this guy who likes to stir up trouble, and after simply saying hello to Iniesta and the others, the group of four walked into the mall cinema.
.
Christmas is a time of fire.
The palatial shopping mall is full of sweet couples, as well as some students who go upstairs to sing karaoke and watch movies, Chen Mo originally wanted to go to the movies directly, but the two girls couldn't walk at all when they saw the clothing store, and under the guidance of the twitter shopping guide, they looked here and there, and their emotions were very high.
Chen Mo and Messi had no choice but to obediently follow behind them as little followers.
But soon, Antonella gradually quieted down, there was no way, Kaoru Tsukichi is now a little rich woman, and the shops she visits are very high-end, and Antonella, who was born in an ordinary family, can't afford it at all.
"Anyu, how do you feel about this dress?"
"Not bad."
Capturing Antonella's emotional changes, Kaoru Tsukichi, who was trying on dresses, had a smile on the corner of her mouth, and glanced at Chen Mo with a vague glance.
Not at all.
Chen Mo on the couch rolled his eyes, but quickly compromised under the expression of Kaoru Yuechi's wrinkled nose, and his shoulder hit Messi who was watching TV next to him: "Hey, don't you give Anyu a gift for Christmas?" β
"Huh? What gift? β
Messi was stunned, his expression was confused, and Chen Mo was speechless, "It's just to buy a dress for Anyu or something." Eh, after the awards tomorrow, we're going to go back to our respective homes, do you know, don't you want to leave some good memories for her? β
"Ahh Oooooo But wouldn't that be bad? β
"Don't be pushy, go quickly!"
"Eh, don't push me!"
Under Chen Mo's pushing, Messi, whose ears were almost red, went to Antonella's side and said something carefully. I couldn't hear it, but from such a distance, Chen Mo could clearly feel two blush floating on Antonella's face.
"Now, Leo knows how to buy gifts for Anyu, and someone is still indifferent."
Yuechi Kaoru sat next to Chen Mo, her head resting on Chen Mo's shoulder, muttering on her lips, but with a smile on her face, Chen Mo rolled her eyes: "Please, don't engage in those sensationalizing old husbands and wives like us." β
"Hey, what an old husband and wife! He's only twenty years old! β
"Okay, okay, you're the youngest."
"Hmph."
Seeing that Chen Mo's expression was a little perfunctory, Yuechi Kaoru snorted, and finally leaned into Chen Mo's ear again, exhaling like an orchid: "Say. I just picked up a pair of lace suspender stockings. β
"Eun?!! Where is it?! β
Chen Mo suddenly came to his senses, Yuechi Xun rolled his eyes, stretched out his slender finger and pointed at Chen Mo's head: "What a man." Lie to you, how could I wear something nasty. β
"It's not interesting."
"Not interesting? Oh, well, then I won't wear it at night. β
"Huh?! Didn't you buy it? β
"Shall I take it and throw it away?"
"Don't, don't, it's not easy to make money."
"Humph!"
The two were arguing here, and over there, Messi also bought a fat white down jacket for Antonella, Antonella had dark skin, and wearing this kind of big white down jacket gave Chen Mo a feeling that it didn't match well, but seeing the concubine on the faces of the two, Chen Mo was also very interested and didn't say something disappointing.
After buying clothes, I walked around casually, and when the time was almost up, I went to the cinema on the fourth floor.
Messi wants to watch some horror movies, Chen Mo is super afraid of horror movies, he accompanied his father to see an old corpse in a mountain village when he was a child, but he didn't dare to get up at night to pee during a summer vacation.
originally thought that there would be no niche horror movies in a popular schedule like Christmas, but I didn't expect that there would be a Thai horror film "Ghost".
Thai and Japanese horror movies are very scary, I dare not watch them, but I can't stand Messi's jelly-like eyes and the contemptuous gaze of the two girls, and finally I still walk into the audience's screening hall in twos and threes.
"I'm a little sleepy! Sleep for a while, and call me when it's over. β
The sound in his ears was whispering, looking at the depressing teaser screen on the giant screen, Chen Mo, who was sitting in the seat, swallowed his spit, ready to come and pretend to be dead.
Looking at the back of his hand holding on to the seat handle that trembled slightly, Kaoru Yuechi's big eyes were bent into crescents, and he turned sideways and stroked his left hand on Chen Mo's thigh, sliding upward, "Don't be afraid, I'm not here." β
The tone was full of temptation, the movements were also very provocative, the atmosphere suddenly became ambiguous, looking at the Yuechi Kaoru who was close to his head, the big eyes of the water were in front of him, Chen Mo took a breath and spitted his mouth, leaned over his head, and at this moment, the lights of the entire movie theater dimmed.
[Crunchββ]
"I'm grass! Here it comes! β
A sharp push on the door swept out of the speaker, and then, something that looked like a person but was not a person appeared on the big screen, and the corner of his eye captured this scene, Chen Mo trembled, and immediately stretched out his hand to cover his face, but the strong curiosity made him unconsciously look out through his fingers.
"Don't be so exaggerated."
Knowing that Chen Mo was afraid of watching ghost movies, but he didn't expect to be so afraid, Yuechi Kaoru rolled his eyes, lifted the armrest in the middle of the chair, moved his round buttocks and squeezed into Chen Mo's arms, and hugged his neck: "Na, give you a hug." β
Afraid of watching ghost movies and this benefit?
With the warm fragrance and warm jade in his arms, Chen Mo was a little dark, but soon his expression became uncomfortable again, there was no way, he panicked.
became more and more uncomfortable, and in desperation, Chen Mo had no choice but to poke his right hand into his pocket and carefully adjust his posture, but he didn't move twice just now, and the roots of his ears were already red, and his elbow was pushed against his stomach, "Don't move!" Big pervert! β
"But I'm uncomfortable."
"I'm really convinced!"
Kaoru Yuechi glanced sideways and raised slightly, "Okay, no!" β
"Yes"
"Alright! Watch the movie obediently! β
Glaring fiercely again, Yuechi Kaoru sat in his arms with a red face, after the episode just now, Chen Mo was a little uneasy, but soon, as the movie began to enter a shocking horror link, Chen Mo directly turned off the fire.
Thai horror movies pay attention to psychological horror, just when you watch it, it's fine, but the more you think about it later, the more scared you become, and because the background of this kind of horror movie is generally at home or school company, it is very easy to make people reminiscent.
The more active the thinking, the better the memory, and the stronger the deduction ability, the more serious the interference from this point, and this happens to be Chen Mo's specialty, he can remember the position of twenty people in the game through a few head swings, and subconsciously calculate the running position that the other party may have.
But fortunately, some time ago, the prince of the Dragon Kingdom sent a network called "Zhu Xian", so the three of them watched horror movies with relish, Chen Mo took out Nokia, put one hand around Yuechi Kaoru's waist, and looked sideways.
"It's a good film, no wonder it's released in Italy."
"Yes, it's okay, the plot is compact, and the flip at the end is a little scary. Xiao Mo, what do you think? β
"Baguio is so miserable, woo woo."
β.β
β.β
You guy, huh! Let's ignore him! β
On the Italian streets swaying in the evening breeze, listening to Chen Moniu's answer to the horse's mouth, Yuechi Kaoru squinted, turned around and was about to go to Anyu for comfort, but turned his head and found that Messi and Anyu had fallen behind side by side, whispering in a low voice.
"What a bunch of people, hissβit's so cold."
The evening breeze near January was very cold, Yuechi Kaoru shivered, pulled the down jacket up, and leaned over to Chen Mo to hold his arm: "I said, the winners of the Golden Boy Award will be announced tomorrow, are you nervous?" β
"Huh?"
Chen Mo was stunned for a moment and shook his head: "It's okay, this award was only created last year, and it is still for players under the age of 21, and the gold content is not very high." It doesn't matter if you have the best, if you don't, I care more about the Champions League than this, the Champions League title is much more important than this Golden Boy Award. β
"Well, by the way, isn't Mr. Wenger going to buy that Di Maria? Is there any progress? β
"I should have bought it, Mr. Wenger talked to me before coming to Italy this time, and said that he wanted me to bring this Rosario fellow. However, the labor certificate is very troublesome, even if he joins Arsenal in the winter window, it is estimated that he will have to go out on loan to play for a period of time. β
Chen Mo frowned slightly, and Yuechi Kaoru tilted his head in confusion: "Want to rent?" Isn't there a genius clause? β
"It's not that simple, when you apply for a genius clause, the FA will send a small team to check whether the player is a genius or not. For example, like me at that time, Mr. Wenger was able to use this clause against me, in addition to the high transfer fee, mainly because I played well in the Copa del Rey, and the whole world knew that I was a top talent, but that Di Maria did not even play in the first team of the A-League now, and the genius clause could not be applied. β
Chen Mo shook his head helplessly, and Yuechi Kaoru looked worried: "Then the situation is not very troublesome now?" β
"It's not a special problem. We are on the right side of the road now with Mr. Bergkamp, his skills are completely OK, the older he gets, the more demonic he becomes, the main problem is that he is not strong enough to impact and not fit enough, but isn't Vieira about to recover from injury, Mr. Wenger has been taking us through new tactics lately. β
"New tactics?"
"Well, very aggressive tactics, that is. Hey, forget it, you can't understand it. β
"What, don't look down on people!"
"Are you sure you want to listen? Don't say I'm just reciting the scriptures, haha. β
"That's it"
Stepping on the light snow and chatting, soon, the two strolled downstairs to the hotel, and looked back, Messi and Antonella were already hanging far behind them, Chen Mo was ready to wait, but was dragged directly into the elevator by Kaoru Yuechi.
Looking at Kaoru Yuechi, who returned to the room with him, Chen Mo raised his eyebrows strangely: "I said, don't you want Xiaomei to sleep over there?" β
"Or else? Would you rather sleep with me or with Leo? β
"Ahem, I'll throw his clothes over."
"Hey, man."
Yuechi Kaoru removed her makeup in the bathroom, and Chen Mo quickly moved Messi's clothes to the next room, and the room cards were all double, so you don't have to worry about them not being able to enter the room.
Returning to his room and closing the door, listening to the sound of water coming from the bathroom, looking at the two single beds, Chen Mo tugged at his chin, and without hesitation, he directly merged the two beds.
"That's how comfortable it looks."
Chen Mo showed a satisfied smile, and at this time, there was a sudden shout from Yuechi Kaoru in the bathroom.
"Xiao Mo! Come on! β
"What's wrong!"
The voice was very urgent, Chen Mo was startled, and hurriedly pushed the door and ran into the bathroom, without turning on the light, his eyes fell into darkness, he hurriedly reached out and touched the wall, but in the next second, a delicate body full of water vapor, hot and cold, pounced on his body like a koala, and then, his lips were blocked.
The lower lip was gently pecked, the snort hit the wing of the nose, Chen Mo's eyes widened for a moment, and he saw the bewitching back in the black gauze through the glimmer of reflective light in the glass of the washstand, and then, a pair of shy eyes appeared in front of him.
"Carry me to bed."
.
At noon the next day, the hotel restaurant.
"Didn't you two sleep well last night?"
Looking at Messi and Antonella with big dark circles under their eyes, Chen Mo, who was eating eggs, asked casually, Messi's face was embarrassed, Antonella was straightforward, and rolled his eyes: "If someone bangs against the wall next to you all night, you won't be able to sleep well?" β
"Ahem, cough, cough, swelling and itching, I can't help myself for a while, I'm sorry."
A mouthful of bread almost squirted out, and Chen Mo stayed directly in Bengbu, but he quickly adjusted his mentality, his face was not red and his heart was not beating.
What is there to be ashamed of!
However, compared to Chen Mo, a cheeky man, Yuechi Kaoru next to him quietly had a slightly red little face, reached out and pulled Chen Mo's thigh, and quickly changed the topic: "Hurry up and eat, the time for the award ceremony is coming!" β
.
The Golden Boy Award is an award created in 2003 by the Italian newspaper Torino Sport.
Although it has only been established for one year, the selection team is mainly composed of top football media from all over the world and well-known journalists engaged in the football industry, plus the organizers spent a lot of money this year to invite the legendary French superstar who once scored 13 goals in the 1958 World Cup - Giust Fontaine.
Therefore, this award is also an award with good gold content and influence.
Merely.
To the surprise of the managers of Torino Sport, the Golden Boy Award, which has only been established for a year, has caused a huge disagreement among the judges!
At the heart of the disagreement are Chen Mo and Messi, as well as Wayne Rooney.
Whether it is the Golden Boy Award, the Golden Ball Award, or the World Footballer of the Year, most of the judges who vote for these awards are based on their performance throughout last year, but Chen Mo did not play a few games in La Liga last year.
There are indeed phenomenal performances, such as the 40-yard ultra-long-distance free kick that shocked the world, but because of the small number of appearances, the data is not good-looking, and the same is true for Messi, and even the data is not as good as Chen Mo.
Both of them began to usher in a statistical explosion after being corrected by the team this season, while Rooney scored 15 goals and three assists at Everton last season, and his performance after joining the giant Manchester United this season is also remarkable, and he has already secured the main position.
On the one hand, Chen Mo and Messi, who have exploded in data in this half season, but have not yet passed the test of time; On one side is Wayne Rooney, who had impressive stats last season and has been consistently efficient.
Each has its own strengths, it is not easy to select, and even if Rooney is removed, is the award for Chen Mo or Messi?
Chen Mo is definitely the strongest midfielder of the younger generation under the age of 21, but Messi is the same, as long as he has watched the judges of this season's Barcelona game, no one can't see Messi's one-on-one horror and lethality with the ball on the right side!
There's no choice!
Both of them are dominant-level dominant monsters at the same age stage!
[Who will win the award, I feel that it depends on whether the judges prefer to pass or score]
All of a sudden, Pep Guardiola's interview came to the minds of many judges, and finally, "2004 European Golden Boy Award winner - MoΒ· ChenΒ· StabiiiiileEEEοΌοΌοΌ β
As the host's voice moved through the microphone to the entire hall, the photographer immediately focused the camera on Chen Mo in a black suit in the first row.
Chen Mo didn't show too much excitement, and turned around to hug Messi, who was a little jealous, but couldn't suppress his smile at all, and had two small dimples on his face.
"The future is yours."
"What the hell, get out and claim the prize! Bastard! β
"Haha!"
After joking with Messi, and nodding with Iniesta and others, under the gaze of the twenty world's top geniuses in the audience, Chen Mo got up with a smile and shook his collar, walked onto the podium, and received the Golden Boy trophy from Juster Fontaine.
.
[The suspense ends! ] 2004 Golden Boy Award Winner - Chen Mo! γ
[Chen Mo's acceptance speech: This award means a lot to me, he is the first trophy in my life with enough weight. I would like to thank my family, friends and my girlfriend,
At the same time, I would also like to thank those seniors and mentors who have guided me on the path of my growth, without their encouragement, support and teaching, I would not be where I am today. Well, that's all I have to say, I'll leave the rest until I win the Champions League. γ
[Champions League winner!] Arrogance or assertiveness? We'll find out in the knockout rounds of the Champions League in two months' time! γ
[Shocked! According to unknown sources, Arsenal could face a huge debt crisis!! γ
[The Times: Investing in the future, Arsenal will sign Angel Di Maria, the right winger of Rosario Central, in the winter window! ] According to what is known so far, the Argentine left-footed right winger cannot trigger the talent clause and Arsenal may send him on loan to the Belgian league! γ
[The Telegraph: It is clear that Arsene Wenger is consciously developing the Argentine gang at Arsenal, and perhaps he has already begun to realise how frightening the financial pressure Arsenal will face in the coming years. γ
[The Sun: The rise of the dynasty? NoοΌοΌοΌ With the current financial pressure on Arsenal, if they fail to win the Champions League this season and get sky-high broadcast shares and championship bonuses, when the summer window opens, they will have to rely on selling players to repay the huge loan! γ
[Daily Mail: Arsenal's transfer budget for this winter window: 0. γ
[Top Secret News: American billionaire Kroenke intends to buy Arsenal shares! ] γ
There is no winter break in the Premier League, so even in January, when the winter window opens, teams still have to face an extremely dense schedule, and there is no rest with the players, as well as the major football media.
Compared to the fatigue of the players, these reporters and media are much more excited, and there are endless new reports every day, but the winter window is generally to strengthen the team, and there is rarely the kind of big news that shocks the football world, but at this moment, I don't know who leaked Arsenal's poor financial situation!
All of a sudden, there was a lot of rumors from the outside world, and countless media began to look at Arsenal's terrible financial situation!
This aspect didn't affect Chen Mo much, he didn't like to pay attention to those things that he couldn't change at all, that would only cause mental internal friction, and after the Christmas night, he returned to London and lived a serious and shameless couple life with Kaoru Tsukichi.
However, this 220,000-pound house is a townhouse, and the backyards of each family are attached to each other, which is relatively close, and it is inconvenient to do some things, and it is easy to be seen, plus as the fame grows, there are more and more reporters nearby.
To this end, after discussing for a while, the two spent nearly a million pounds to buy a three-storey, 300-square-meter single-family villa with a balcony pool, gym, and even a rare spa in the backyard near Klysold Park.
This area is located in the Islington community, which is not considered a wealthy area, and is mainly chosen because it is close to the Arsenal Club and the Middle Emirates Stadium under construction, which can be reached in about ten minutes by car, and even can be walked by, and it is not far from the university where Kaoru Tsukichi is located, ten kilometers away in a straight line.
The most critical point is that there is relatively little traffic near this villa, whether it is running errands or living a normal life, it is much quieter and freer, even if it is cooler in the home with the heating on, no one can see it.
The villa is well decorated, as long as the furniture is supplemented and renovated lightly, Chen Mo has no interest in buying furniture, the only requirement is to install some training facilities in the backyard, and then increase the wall higher.
The wall is heightened, and Sima Zhao's heart is known to passers-by.
Yuechi Kaoru rolled his eyes, and the result was naturally a fake shirk, and he was pressed in the backyard and the eel was hungry and abalone.
Rich days are comfortable!
But
Although the personal life was very comfortable, as the days went by, the team began to be in turmoil.
Bombarded with countless news every day, and the team really didn't strengthen the right wing, [Is there really a problem with the team's finances?!] The mentality of many players began to be affected.
On January 24, 2005, the day Di Maria arrived in London, in the 24th round of the Premier League, Arsenal, which had been unbeaten in 63 games, was defeated by Newcastle at home in Highbury!
The undefeated division, defeated!
Spanning three seasons, he defeated countless strong opponents, but he fell into the hands of a fish-belly team, not to mention other players, even Chen Mo, who has always been full of fighting spirit, rarely fell into depression, and the dinner for Di Maria was a little dull.
However, as a rookie who couldn't even play the main team of the A-League before, in Di Maria's eyes, Chen Mo, who is now famous, is willing to take time to receive his little-known fellow countryman in the face of such great pressure, and even let himself stay at home, he is very grateful.
Di Maria spent three days at home, and on the last day of the winter window, he was loaned to the Belgian league due to labour certification issues.
What awaits him next is either to get a Belgian passport after three years of hard work, or to be recruited into the national team before the 2006 World Cup, or to show great talent for a period of time, so that Wenger has the confidence to go to the FA to apply for a genius clause!
However, these things are not in Chen Mo's consideration, and with the loss to Newcastle United on the 24th, the atmosphere in the team's dressing room began to become very delicate.
In the 25th round of the Premier League on February 2, the demoralized Arsenal lost to the menacing Manchester United at home Highbury!
Two defeats in a row at home!
Such a hot news instantly ignited the entire media world, and there were more and more reports about Arsenal from the outside world, and public opinion moved from optimistic to worried, and then from worried to declining!
The atmosphere of the whole team is getting heavier and heavier, and people are panicking!
But fortunately, on February 6, Arsenal defeated Aston Villa 3-1 away from home, which was considered to save some disadvantages, but it lost to Crystal Palace on February 15!
After three defeats, Arsenal's league points were directly overtaken by Chelsea and slipped to second place in the league!
On February 19, in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup, Arsenal defeated the visiting Sheffield United 4-1 at home to advance to the quarter-finals!
Either an upset or a big win, affected by the outside media, Arsenal's state has fluctuated very much, a god, a ghost.
In normal times, Wenger could have adjusted his stature slowly, after all, the winter window has closed, and the outside press media has not reported as frantically as last month, but reality has not left him much time.
.
On February 23rd, the wind and the sun were beautiful.
Carrying a cylindrical suitcase, Chen Mo squatted at the door and put on his shoes, and Kaoru Yuechi, who was wearing home clothes, walked behind him with a lunch box package: "I have prepared some sushi for you, let's eat it in the car later." β
"Very virtuous, Kaoru-chan."
After taking the lunch box, Chen Mo showed a big smile, rubbed Yuechi Kaoru's little head, and was about to say something, when the sound of the bus stopping came from outside the door, Chen Mo leaned over and kissed the small mouth of the water, "Then I'm leaving, pay attention to safety at home alone." β
"Yes, so do you."
"Yes."
Waving his hand, under the gaze of Kaoru Yuechi, Chen Mo pushed the door out, looked up, a red and white bus leaned against the shade of the tree on the side of the road, through the glass, he could see that Wenger and others were already on the bus, not slacking off, Chen Mo hurriedly ran into the car, but when he got on the bus, he found that the atmosphere on the car was a little wrong.
"Dennis, aren't you flying?"
Standing at the staircase at the front of the car, feeling everyone's gaze, Chen Mo raised his eyebrows sideways, and looked strangely at the blonde Bergkamp next to Wenger in the first row.
On the first day of entering Arsenal, he knew that because he almost suffered two air crashes, one of which was even because of the loss of the national team game, which caused some fans to put explosives bags on the plane, so Bergkamp never took a plane, and in all the previous Champions League group stages, Bergkamp was all a train and a ship and then a train, and this time he was going to Italy to play against Inter, and he must have to take a plane across the ocean.
"This time it's different."
Bergkamp's face was serious, he raised his eyelids to look at Chen Mo, then stood up and looked behind him, his cold gaze swept over everyone's faces: "Everyone has arrived, I want to say a few words here." β
Hearing Bergkamp's voice and feeling his gaze, even Henry, who had been listening to the song with headphones on, took off his headphones.
Feeling everyone's eyes focused, in the rickety carriage, Bergkamp struggled to squeeze a smile on his face, he was not used to laughing, and looked a little awkward.
'I'm sure everybody knows that a lot has happened to the team during this period, including the signings, the unbeaten run being ended, the injuries to Patrick Vieira and Pire.
Yes, these things change our mindset, just like I never dared to fly after the plane incident when I was younger, but uh, I don't know what to say.
In short, I would like to say that most of you are very young, and with the fact that Arsenal have done very well over the years under Mr Arsene Wenger, they have been able to reach the Champions League every year, and maybe you may think that even if it doesn't work out this time, there will be a next time.
But actually, it's been 19 years since I debuted at Ajax in '86, and I've only played in six Champions League games in total, four of which ended in the group stage, and that's only the third time I've reached the knockout stages of the Champions League, and my career is long enough for most players.
I want to tell you that this year is the most promising year for us to reach the top, we have a gorgeous attacking line, a scrappy and creative midfield, an indestructible defence and the best coach in the world!
Such a lineup, well. What I want to say is, I don't know if you have heard Xiao Mo say an ancient poem of the Dragon Kingdom, called "I don't know the true face of Lushan, only because I am in this mountain".
It's a very philosophical verse, and . Maybe you are a mountain man like me at this time, and you are completely unaware that you may have reached the fork in the road of life when you are in the middle of certain events, and then you just unknowingly let the flash of fate that may only occur a few times in your life slip through your fingertips.
Those who waste opportunities will be punished, as you as footballers should be aware. β
Speaking of this, Bergkamp closed his eyes and took a deep breath, his cold eyes gradually became restrained, and swept over the faces of the players one by one: "Now, are you willing to give up this great opportunity and continue to sink, or are you willing to regroup and carry the name of Arsenal and your own surname. Top of Europe? β
