Chapter Seventy-Six: The Goal Was My Pass, and He Shot......
Luka Modric didn't know what mood he was in when he walked into the Arsenal dressing room.
Everyone also looked at him with strange eyes, and even the captain Fermalen did not come out to receive him for the first time this time, which made the atmosphere in the locker room a little awkward.
Lin Yun was the first to hand over the olive branch, stepped forward and stretched out his hand, "Luca, welcome to Arsenal." ”
Modric glanced at him gratefully, and quickly reached out to hold it, "Thank you, I'm also very happy to be here." ”
He has a shy personality, and he has just been hit in Real Madrid, and he has come to Arsenal, a place that is a bit complicated for him, if Lin Yun does not take the initiative, he doesn't know how to take the first step.
Lin Yun's words seemed to wake everyone up, and the others hurriedly welcomed them.
They don't care what Modric does at Real Madrid, they just know that this product is really awesome when he is at Tottenham, and that's enough.
According to the unspoken rules on the court, Modric should play the No. 10 position or the No. 8 position, but the No. 10 is now worn on the small threat, and the No. 8 is owned by Arteta, one is the prince, and the other is the vice-captain, of course, it is impossible to pick it off for him to wear, so Modric can only pick a more pleasing No. 20 among the rest.
Today's training was mainly for the UEFA Super Cup, and the newcomer Modric was in the squad, but not in the starting line-up, but Wenger still put him on the main side during training.
Just to see if there can be a reaction between him and Lin Yun.
There will be an expedition soon, so it will only be a seven-man game, and the time will only be 40 minutes.
At this time, of course, Lin Yun will not practice any right foot backfoot, but will show real strength.
So Modric was a little frightened.
At the beginning of the training match, he was a little bit out of his mind, but his teammates wanted to see how he was doing, so they were very active in playing for him.
Modric also knew that he had to show some strength to gain a foothold here, so he worked quite hard, but unfortunately he overworked too hard, and the first straight plug was a bit big.
The amount of advance is a bit too much, and it looks like it's almost passing the ball to the opposing goalkeeper.
He raised his hand embarrassedly, wanting to apologize to Lin Yun, but as soon as his hand was stretched out, Lin Yun had already turned around and rushed out.
The wind is galloping, and the dust is unbeatable.
The defender only chased two steps before coming to a stop.
When Lin Yun got the ball, he even had time to play a feint, tricking the goalkeeper to the side and then pushing the empty goal.
His teammates were used to it, and he didn't take it seriously, and even walked up to Modric and raised his hands: "It's a good pass." ”
"Uh......" Modric could only raise his hand and pat him hard, but after all, he was an honest man, and he still told the truth, "Actually, I passed it on, I didn't expect your speed to be so fast." ”
"You just need to pass the ball to the most suitable place," Lin Yundao, "If I can't catch it, that's my problem, but if you can't pass it......"
"That's my problem," Modric nodded, "I remember, Lin." ”
He's not a pig, so he certainly knows what his place in this team is.
Passing the ball to Lin Yun's feet at the right time and in the right place is his greatest value.
Boulder on the sidelines glanced at Wenger and shrugged his shoulders, "That's why you have to choose Modric?" ”
Not to mention that someone can be a famous coach, and you can only be an assistant, Wenger clearly knew that Modric's pass was actually a pass, but he didn't expect it to hit it crookedly.
'He's proven himself at Tottenham and I'm never worried about him adapting to the Premier League, I'm just worried about whether he can keep up with Lin's pace,' Wenger said, "You probably don't know, it's always been Lin adapting to other people, and now he is asking Luka to adapt to him, and it's not easy for him. ”
"......" Boulder looked at the court with a stunned look on his face, "but he seems to be doing well?" ”
The substitutes were cut off by Luka Modric just after kick-off, and then took the ball himself to ink in midfield.
And Lin Yun had already rushed forward, quickly leveling with the last defender.
Modric no longer hesitated and immediately made a long pass over the top.
Lin Yun overtook the defender almost at the same time, and then lightly stopped the over-the-top ball and easily pushed it into the goal.
"It's so comfortable!" Lin Yun secretly praised in his heart, ran back to the midfield, and the two exchanged palms again.
"Pass beautifully!"
"Well played!"
Wilshire looked at the two of them like glue, and his heart suddenly emptied......
The game continued, and the opposite side naturally didn't dare to let the two of them connect at will, and quickly strengthened the interception, but Modric was still able to magically find Lin Yun again and again, and the two worked together countless times a long time ago.
Arsene Wenger was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.
Fifty million euros, when has Arsenal been so generous?
Fortunately, the money should not have been spent in vain, and the Croatian does look worth the price......
The next day, the whole team set off, but in two ways, one to acclimatise to the venue in advance to prepare for the UEFA Super Cup, and the other to attend the draw for this season's Champions League.
The difference in time between the two is one day, meaning Arsene Wenger and Jose Mourinho will have to travel overnight to the side for the next day's UEFA Super Cup after the draw ceremony.
In fact, there is no need to run around, because the Champions League draw ceremony will be held in Monaco, but the UEFA Super Cup, which has been held in Monaco before, has been running out since this year, so it can only be played like this.
At 17:45 local time on August 29, at the Grimaldi Convention Center in Monaco.
As the biggest winners in all of European football last season, Arsenal and their team are in high spirits and the biggest focus wherever they go.
Lin Yun did not go to the Czech Republic to prepare for the game with his teammates, but followed Arsene Wenger here.
In addition to the Champions League draw, there will also be the presentation of last season's European awards, including the best European player.
Whether as a core member of the Champions League winner or the top scorer in the Champions League, Lin Yun is a favorite to win the best player in Europe.
Mendes was even more excited than Lin Yun.
Jose Mourinho has won the best coach, Cristiano Ronaldo has won the best player, if Lin Yun can also win this award, then he will have three European best at the same time!
This is the rhythm of heaven.
In order to prevent the Sneijder tragedy in 2010 from happening again, Mendes has been actively campaigning these days, not only doing his homework on the media, but also working with Arsenal's major sponsors to put pressure on him.
The world's biggest names in football gathered together, and Ferguson naturally came to the scene.
In the past, the three old enemies of the Premier League stood together, you look at me, I look at you, in the end, it was Ferguson who laughed first, and then Wenger and Mourinho followed, and the three old fools were like crazy, and no one knew what they were laughing at.
"Hello everyone and welcome to the draw for the 2013-2014 UEFA Champions League group stage. Pinto and Miss Swiss Melanie Vienig hosted the ......"
Before the draw ceremony began, a short video of last season's Champions League final was shown on the big screen, which reviewed Arsenal's journey to winning the Champions League trophy last season in the form of an art gallery.
Lin Yun frequently left the country in the second half of the video, and in the end, he even gave people the feeling that what was being shown now was his personal documentary.
No way, it's so brilliant.
Almost every time Arsenal were able to knock out an opponent, it was up to him to make the final decision.
The last shot is the moment when the whole Arsenal team lifts the Champions League trophy.
It was Fermaren who was obviously holding the cup, but the focus of everyone's eyes was invariably fixed on the handsome guy who stood at the edge and smirked.
The camera also gave Lin Yun in the audience at the right time.
He sat in the front row with Lionel Messi, and he is also the focus of the whole football world at this moment.
Lin Yun, Messi and Ronaldo entered the top three of the best players in Europe respectively, but Ronaldo was absent for some reason, so only Lin Yun and Messi sang in today's scene.
Everyone is secretly lamenting the confusion of fate.
Who would have thought that just half a year ago, this kid was just a small substitute in Reading's youth team......
After the short film screening, McNeil, who once led Scottish powerhouse Celtic to win the Champions League trophy, walked into the draw ceremony with the trophy in hand.
Under the chairmanship of UEFA Secretary General Gianni Infantino, the draw ceremony officially began.
The first guest in the draw was Portuguese legend and Champions League ambassador Figo.
Gianni Infantino began by introducing the rules of the draw, with the 32 teams divided into four tiers and evenly divided into eight groups, with teams from the same league in the same group not meeting each other.
McNeil and Figo moved Arsenal to Group F, followed by Chelsea in Group E, Real Madrid in Group B, Bayern in Group D, Barcelona in Group H, Benfica in Group C, Porto in Group G and Manchester United in Group A.
At this point, the draw for the first team in the Champions League group stage has been completed.
The second guest in the draw was Dutch legend Cruyff, who and Figo were in charge of the draw for the teams in Pot 2.
There are also several strong teams in this bracket, AC Milan, Juventus, Paris Saint-Germain, Atletico Madrid......
Immediately afterwards, the famous England star Owen took the stage and completed the third round of the draw with Figo.
A scene that caused an uproar in the audience appeared.
The teams in the third tier have been drawn and put into various groups, only Arsenal's Group F is still vacant, and in the third tier, only Dortmund is not drawn.
One is last season's Champions League winner and the other is last season's Champions League runners-up.
The expressions of the people in both clubs were wonderful.
In the studios of major TV stations, the hosts also started the melon-eating mode.
"Haha, only Group F and Borussia Dortmund are left, Owen is so lucky! In this way, last season's champions and runners-up will reunite in the group stage this season, and I wonder if Dortmund can avenge the final......"
"Poor Marseille, they're also in Group F, and if you want me to say, it's funny to put Borussia Dortmund in third tier, but who gives them that many European points?"
Then Dortstar Sousa took the stage and pulled out the fourth-tier team to complete the final link.
The draw for the group stage of the 2013-2014 UEFA Champions League has just been released.
In the end, Real Madrid and Juventus met in the group stage, with Bayern Munich and Manchester City in Group D, while Barcelona met last season's knockout opponents AC Milan in the group stage.
The last unlucky man in Group F is Napoli, who will join Arsenal, Marseille and Borussia Dortmund in the group of death.
"The four participating teams in the Premier League and the four participating teams in the Bundesliga are all in a group, Arsenal and Borussia Dortmund, Manchester City and Bayern Munich, Manchester United and Bayer Leverkusen, Chelsea and Schalke 04...... It seems that the theme of this Champions League group stage will be a continuation of last season's Champions League final, that is, the Anglo-German showdown! ”
"Then came the exciting award ceremony......
Ma Dan, I forgot to write the birthday of the protagonist, the setting is August 16th, which happens to be the start of the Premier League...... It's not easy to finally become an adult
