Chapter 23: Forward! Gunners!
After the last incident, Lekai's position in the locker room has quietly changed. Google search reading
Of course, it's not that his words have much weight.
But in the end, no one wants to mess with him.
After all, the previous lesson is right in front of us.
And from the coaching staff's handling, it can be clearly seen that Lekai's position in their hearts.
Without some trivial troubles, Lekai's training is back on the agenda.
During this period, he was training with all his strength.
In nearly three months, his weight has reached nearly 81 kilograms, and he has enough flexibility.
The most prominent change is the core. The strong core and balance ability make Lekai a meat grinder in the midfield.
Even the main players of the first team began to deliberately avoid Lekai when attacking.
This guy's terrifying interception ability has reached an almost abnormal level under the bonus of physical confrontation attributes.
In Arsenal now, as long as Lekai is on the court, he and Ramsey form two left and right back guards to make the defenders feel safe.
However, the current defensive midfielder is still Song, so they can't express their praise for Lekai.
But these first-team players have already started to make comparisons silently in their hearts.
Everything is going in a good direction for Arsenal.
It seems that the things they experienced before are slowly being diluted.
In the league, they even beat Chelsea 5-3 away.
This game against the Blues has greatly aroused the morale of Arsenal people.
Moreover, General Fan showed his power and made a hat-trick, showing the true colors of the dean.
Based on the victory of this game, many Arsenal fans have great expectations for the future.
And bathed in this atmosphere, the game has also come to the 11th round.
With Arsenal's excellent performance, the ranking in the standings has also soared during this period.
Now it has reached the seventh place in the league, and the momentum is fierce.
Many people believe that such an Arsenal will return to the forefront of the standings.
This is a game between Arsenal and West Brom at home.
The two teams have met 124 times in history, with Arsenal winning 60, drawing 29 and losing 35, scoring 216 and conceding 163, which is a clear advantage.
And Arsenal fans think so too.
For this reason, the Emirates Stadium was particularly lively on this day.
After entering November, the weather has gradually turned cold.
Lekai has put on long johns and a thick down jacket.
Although he is from the Northeast, it is precisely because he is from the Northeast that he understands the importance of keeping warm.
On the contrary, Billy is dressed lightly, with a denim jacket over a short-sleeved shirt, hot pants, flip-flops on his feet, and a bottle of wine in his hand, walking on the street in a swagger.
The clothes of the fans on the street are also polarized.
Either they are wrapped like Lekai, or they are like Billy, "exposing their breasts".
Of course, this can only be blamed on this embarrassing weather.
This time, they did not drive, but took the subway.
Billy said that if he came by himself, he would drive, but as a newcomer, Lucky needed to feel the atmosphere.
Yes!
A very strong atmosphere.
The entire subway station seemed to be surrounded by Arsenal fans, especially when you come to Arsenal Station or Holloway Road Station, where there are a large number of fans.
You don't even need to know how to get to the Emirates Stadium to be pushed by the crowd.
On the way to the Emirates Stadium, you will see many vendors and shops.
Selling jerseys, scarves, autographs and even trophies.
Anyway, there are all kinds of things.
In the middle, Lucky was taken over and asked if he wanted to buy a jersey.
Please, I have my own jersey!
As soon as Lucky left, he saw some people who looked like compatriots gathered in front of the hawker shop and began to excitedly choose jerseys and scarves. They were probably tourists who came here for the first time.
In fact, Lucky also wanted to wear a jersey to go there, so that he could appear to be closer to the organization.
But Billy said that such formal things are useless. Real Arsenal fans will not wear jerseys or scarves.
So Lekai still gave up. After all, it feels weird to wear a jersey outside a down jacket.
Billy has been drinking, as if he wants to get drunk. Lekai tried to stop him, but the guy said that watching the game requires being slightly drunk to feel the atmosphere best.
Lekai didn't know if this was Billy's excuse, but he didn't stop him.
It was finally time to enter the stadium. Following the crowd, Lekai saw the brand new Emirates Stadium.
This was Lekai's first time here.
The stadium is an oval in shape, with a white and blue base. There is a huge Arsenal team logo engraved on it at the entrance.
Huge propaganda posters can be seen everywhere around!
There are individual posters of each player, as well as overall posters.
General Van is the most impressive, right in the center.
The huge poster shows the back of Van Persie.
With his hands open, under the number 10 on his back is the offensive flag of Arsenal.
Of course, not every first-team starter has a separate pictorial. If they are not well-known enough or are not loved by the home fans, the club will not post the pictorial.
So far, there are only a few.
They are Van Persie, Walcott, Vermaelen and Szczesny!
Lucky stood in the crowd, looking up at the huge poster representing Van Persie, with an inexplicable light flashing in his eyes.
After looking for a long time, Lucky stepped into the stadium at Billy's urging.
The stands were mainly red, which was also the main tone of Arsenal.
People kept pouring in to fill the vacant seats.
Soon, the seats of more than 60,000 people in the entire Emirates Stadium were all filled.
It was also from this moment that the Emirates Stadium became no longer so ordinary.
The Arsenal team flag was waving in the air, flying up and down, rolling up layers of sound waves.
The players were not seen yet, but the cheering songs had begun to sound.
[This is Arsenal, Arsenal Football Club! ]
[We are the greatest team so far. ]
[The world has never seen it. ]
[We have Robin Van Persie! ]
[Arsenal, pass the ball. . . . ]
[We love you Arsenal, we love! ]
[Arsenal we love you! ]
[Vermaelen! 】
【Arsenal, Arsenal, Arsenal... 】
【We pay you benefits... 】
【Thomas Vermaelen... 】
【He's better than Gael Clichy! 】
【Let's forget about the bad things! 】
Finally, the whole stadium roared!
【Come on you gunners! (Go! You Gunners!)】
At this moment, Lucky felt the current running from the soles of his feet to his head.
It's not that Lucky has never played professionally, but to be honest, the atmosphere of the Premier League is incomparable to that of the Portuguese Super League.
Even Lucky, who was sitting in the stands, felt his blood boiling, not to mention his teammates who were about to play.
Lucky and the other two sat at the front of the lower level.
Arsenal does not have the so-called official "diehard stands", similar to the Liverpool KOP stands.
Arsenal's diehard fans like to be in the corners, so that they can interact with the players when they celebrate their goals!
And to take care of Lucky, Billy chose this front seat.
At the current price of Arsenal tickets, it is estimated that the three front courts cost a lot of money.
Soon, the game was about to start.
When the players of both sides walked out of the player tunnel.
The fans at the scene began to boo the West Brom players again.
The deafening booing seemed to want to swallow them in one bite. In this home atmosphere, it felt weak.
Lekai licked his dry lips, and he felt that he was about to burn.
He wanted to kick Song back to the bench and appear on the court.
In the exciting atmosphere, the game began.
Arsenal's players did not make the game boring. They chose to attack the opponent after the kick-off.
Lekai could feel that these guys played more vigorously and more energetic than in training.
Sure enough, in the 22nd minute, General Fan broke the opponent's goal.
After scoring, General Fan came to the corner kick area and slid close to the ground.
And the crazy Arsenal fans were also cheering.
Lekai was in the stands, and he could feel the shouts, screams, and cheers coming from all directions intertwined, like a volcanic eruption that made his scalp numb.
Even Lekai was driven by emotions at this moment, joining the fans in cheering!
Lekai has never liked Arsenal, and he is not a so-called Gunners fan!
But since he has the identity of a Gunner, he feels that he has begun to integrate into this club.
Shout for victory!
Sad for failure!
At this moment, Lekai is closely connected with Arsenal.
The hearts of the two seem to be intertwined and inseparable!
After the first goal, the second goal followed.
In the 39th minute, Vermaelen, who had rested for a season, completed a header in a corner attack.
Vermaelen's goal made Arsenal fans even more excited and excited.
Even the commentator on the scene was shouting.
"Thomas Vermaelen! Forever Vermaelen! He is the cornerstone of Arsenal's defense! He can also attack!"
"Tell me, who scored the goal?"
The fans at the scene were cheering.
Thomas Vermaelen!!!——
The huge sound waves swept the whole stadium.
Here, Lekai also contributed a voice. He had completely forgotten everything and fully integrated into it.
And in the cheers of Arsenal fans, the game also entered the final time.
Arsenal seemed to be unsatisfied and continued to attack.
In the 87th minute, in the last stage of the game, Van Persie gave up a must-goal.
Arteta pushed the door forward.
3-0!!!
Arsenal expanded the score again!
And the goal scorer was Arteta.
The refreshing game made Arsenal fans very happy.
They kept shouting Arteta's name.
And Arteta in the stadium also raised his hands and applauded!
Arteta's debut at Arsenal ended perfectly!
Lekai was in the stands, watching Arteta and clapping his hands sincerely.
In the most difficult years of Arsenal, Arteta still stayed with Arsenal.
Arsenal gave Arteta only a devastated club, but he carried on without any regrets.
For this, he deserves the applause of Arsenal fans!
