Chapter 64: New Wembley Stadium!
May 11, 2013, Saturday, 1pm London time.
London seems to have entered the rainy season recently, with heavy rainfall. It has been drizzling for three consecutive days.
The rain is not heavy, but it makes people feel suffocated and irritated.
Billy sat in the passenger seat, looking out the window at the hazy rain curtain and gray sky outside.
The drizzle in the sky swayed left and right with the wind, and water drops rolled down the window, blocking Billy's sight.
"What a bad weather!"
Billy sighed.
In the main driver's seat, Meadows smiled and said; "Don't let the weather affect your mood."
"I know." Billy grinned and put his palm on his chest, his heart still beating non-stop.
"But it's been nine years!"
"The last time we came here was in 2006. At that time, we were sure that Arsenal would be a regular at Wembley, but in fact, we haven't been here for nine years!"
After a pause, Billy added; "In seven of those years, we didn't even win a championship."
Meadows didn't speak, he was still concentrating on driving.
"Turn on the radio, the sound of the rain makes me feel irritated." Billy frowned and said.
Meadows smiled, turned on the radio and said; "Man, relax."
Billy didn't say anything.
Meadows turned on the local traffic channel in London, and a crisp female voice came.
[The City Hall decided that in order to welcome the FA Cup final of the 2012/2013 season between Arsenal and Manchester City at 5 pm, the White Horse Bridge area leading to Wembley Stadium will be controlled from 3 pm. Citizens in need please take a detour. Next is the weather forecast for London]
Billy stared blankly ahead and suddenly said:
"Hey! Man, do you think we can win the championship this time?"
Meadows drove the car intently without turning his head and said: "Yes!"
"Are you so sure?" Billy said in surprise.
Meadows smiled and said; "The current Arsenal is no longer the Arsenal of the past."
Billy raised his eyebrows and said; "For example?"
Meadows: "There is no such thing as, it can only be said that it is a feeling, we will win! Definitely!"
Billy was silent for a moment, and suddenly laughed twice.
I saw him turn sideways and press the horn in the middle of the steering wheel hard!
Beep! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ——
A shrill whistle sounded suddenly!
The camera zoomed out, and on the straight road, a dense fleet of vehicles occupied the entire main road.
Vehicles of all kinds were lined up in a long line, with the Arsenal team logo on the body of the car.
Someone leaned out of the passenger seat, waving a flag in his hand!
Someone came out of the skylight, opened his arms and sang Arsenal's team song!
They are wearing black jerseys!
They are Arsenal's diehards!
Now! They will go to fight the powerful enemy with the Gunners!
Lucky took out various equipment from the locker and stuffed them into his backpack.
His movements were very focused and his expression was extremely calm.
But only Lucky himself knew how fast his heart was beating.
FA Cup final!
This was his second season with Arsenal, and they reached the FA Cup final.
If he played well, this might be Lucky's first championship since he came to Arsenal.
Whenever he thought of this, Lucky felt his heart beating violently.
Huh~~~~~
Lucky took a long breath and gently patted his cheek to make himself more sober.
Swish!
Zipped up, Lucky carried his bag and walked out of the locker room.
Wenger stood in front of the bus door with an umbrella.
He high-fived every Arsenal player who got on the bus to encourage them.
"Luis, I have a feeling that you will score two goals!"
"Cazorla, you are in great shape, right?"
"Arteta, believe in yourself, you are the best organizing midfielder."
Wenger encouraged every disciple, and when it was Lucky's turn.
Wenger did not say anything, but opened his arms to hug Lucky and patted Lucky's back heavily.
"Kid! Believe in yourself."
Lucky nodded slightly.
Wenger let Lucky go, looked at the other's resolute eyes and smiled with satisfaction.
One by one, the Arsenal players walked into the bus.
Soon, all the players on the roster, including the coaching staff, entered.
However, the bus was extremely quiet.
No one spoke.
Lucky sat in the last seat, he rested his forehead on the backrest in front of him, concentrating on maintaining his condition.
After an unknown period of time, a slight noise came from his ears.
The noise became louder and louder, more and more concentrated, and finally turned into a high-pitched song.
Lekai raised his head slightly and looked out the window.
The first thing he saw was a huge building.
An oval stadium, the most eye-catching thing was the huge arch that was winding diagonally.
Lekai narrowed his eyes slightly, he knew he had arrived at the venue.
The venue of the FA Cup final, the new Wembley Stadium!
The bus slowly stopped at an entrance, Wenger stood up first and said; "No one is allowed to accept interviews, no contact with the media, go directly into the venue, understand?"
The Arsenal players said; "Understood!"
Wenger nodded and walked out first.
Amid waves of cheers, the Arsenal players walked into the stadium in a low-key manner.
When Lucky appeared, the cheers suddenly became louder.
Everyone was calling Lucky's name crazily.
But Lucky didn't respond at all. He lowered his head and walked quickly into the venue.
The light rain kept falling, but it still couldn't stop the enthusiastic fans of both teams.
The entire Wembley Stadium is divided into two colors.
Red, white and sky blue!
The arena was filled with sounds.
Cheers, singing, stomping, whistling, etc.
The atmosphere is reaching a climax step by step.
When the warm-up players from the two teams entered the arena, huge cheers erupted.
Wow! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ——
"This is Sky Sports commentator, I'm Andy Gray!"
"I'm your old friend, Richard!"
Two commentators were sitting in the commentary booth at the scene. Andy Gray's voice contained enthusiasm: "The scene is about to explode! It has been occupied by enthusiastic Arsenal and Manchester City fans. The game has not yet started, but the entire new Wembley Stadium It’s already like a furnace!”
Richard shouted: "Hey! Manchester City fans, let me hear your voices!"
Wow! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ——
Manchester City fans started roaring and screaming like crazy.
Andy Gray also yelled: "Gun fans! Do you admit defeat?!"
Wow! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ——
"Hahahahahaha~~" Andy Gray laughed and continued: "I have already felt the enthusiasm of the fans. We will focus on the stadium. The weather conditions today are not good. The rain has made the field slippery. This will It affects the performance of the players to a certain extent.”
"But it is this uncertainty that makes the game more interesting!" Richard said loudly.
"First of all, in terms of forwards, Dzeko and Aguero have both reached double figures in goals in a single season. Although they did not enter the top five scorers, I think they are easy to deal with."
"Arsenal has Suarez. After leaving Liverpool, the Uruguayan's performance is still wonderful. Now Suarez ranks second in the scorer list with 21 goals, only two goals behind Robin van Persie at the top! "
"In the midfield, Yaya Toure, David Silva, and Nasri are all top midfielders in the Premier League. Their presence allows Manchester City to be more comfortable offensively at home, and because Yaya Toure and David Silva’s characteristics, this Manchester City team can always play a different style of game.”
"Compared to Manchester City, Arsenal's midfield is a bit drab, but that doesn't mean they are not strong!"
"The return of Cazorla and Arteta from injuries has revived Arsenal's vitality, but what Manchester City should be most wary of is Arsenal's No. 4!"
Hearing this, Richard smiled and said, "I knew you would mention Kai!"
Andy Gray also smiled and said; "We can't bypass him. In the middle and later stages of the league, Kai's performance is shocking. It is difficult for you to put him in a 19-year-old age group."
In this regard, Richard nodded and said: "After one season, Kai has become an indispensable part of Arsenal, even a key component. If Manchester City wants to break Arsenal's goal, then they must push to Arsenal first." The wall standing in midfield!”
While the two commentators were explaining the warm-up, Lucky in the field was warming up while looking towards the opposite half.
In this game, Manchester City came out in full force, with all their main players on the field to meet the challenge.
Lucky looked through the crowd at an Argentinian with a ferocious face.
Tevez!
In the league, Lucky suffered a lot at the hands of this guy.
But after a season of growth, especially after experiencing the baptism against Bayern in the Champions League knockout round, Lucky is now confident that he can withstand the pressure exerted by Tevez.
Just as Lucky was looking at Tevez, Tevez on the opposite side also turned his head and looked over.
The two looked at each other!
Tevez showed a smile, but this smile touched the scar and was a bit scary.
Lucky didn't know what this smile meant.
He shook his head and continued to warm up.
Seeing Lucky turn his head, Tevez was still looking at Lucky.
"What are you looking at?"
Aguero came over and asked.
Tevez stared at Lucky and said, "That Arsenal No. 4!"
Aguero turned his head and looked over, his eyes solemn as he said, "He is not easy to deal with."
Tevez nodded and said: "In the league, I kept charging at him with my impact, and then I broke away from his defense. The guy didn't seem to know how to defend me, but now I feel like I'm being targeted. a feeling of."
Aguero raised his eyebrows slightly.
Tevez suddenly grinned and showed a charming smile again: "But it doesn't matter, if the child disobeys, I will teach him a lesson!"
