Chapter 167 17-year-old Cesc Fabregas

The referee Michael did not stop the Leeds United players from celebrating their captain, he immediately blew the whistle for the end of the first half, and on the electronic scoreboard at Elland Road Stadium, a player so proud that everyone felt embarrassed Confidence score ---
Leeds United 2:1 Arsenal!
"Unbelievable! Unbelievable! Leeds United actually took the lead, scored two goals in a row, and reversed the score! Is this really the Leeds United that barely relegated in the last round of last season?" The commentator of Sky TV said two times in a row. Unbelievably, although Leeds United had an upset victory over Manchester United before and then defeated Newcastle by a big score, the current situation of these two teams is not very good. Manchester United suffered the worst start in the past five years, and Newcastle changed their clothes There are constant conflicts in the room, internal strife within the team, quarrels between generals, and losing is not an upset; however, Arsenal's situation is different, with three consecutive league victories, 5 unbeaten games, high fighting spirit... this game, Few people think that Leeds United can really play the role of stopper.

At this time, the fans of Leeds United are more willing to regard the words of the commentator of Sky TV as a compliment to the team!
…………

The Leeds United players who returned to the locker room were in a good mood. They were able to score a goal in stoppage time in the first half to overtake the score, and entered the intermission with the leading score. It was absolutely unexpected before the game.The players were talking excitedly about the first half of the game, and it seemed that they hadn't come out of the excitement of the first half.

The door of the locker room was closed, but the laughter and laughter from the locker room could still be faintly heard. Eddie Gray leaned against the wall of the corridor, lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and went to Small half.

"I thought you would go in and reprimand these guys?" Gustavo Poyet took the cigarette case handed over by Eddie Gray and took out a cigarette, "Don't you just look at these guys there? Get carried away?"

Eddie Gray didn't answer right away, but took another puff of his cigarette, then took two steps and pressed the cigarette butt in the trash can, then turned his head, "Why do you want to pour cold water on these guys? Is it possible to lead Arsenal? Isn't it something to be happy about?"

"You don't worry about them being overjoyed at all, there are 45 minutes left in the second half." Leeds United assistant coach said.

"Do you know why other teams lost to Arsenal?" Eddie Gray glanced at his assistant, and without waiting for Gustavo Poyet to answer, he asked himself and answered, "That's because They never thought they would actually beat Arsenal, they were afraid of losing."

Gustavo Poyet was still thinking about this sentence. He saw the head coach and smiled sinisterly, "But we are not afraid. It is best to win. What is there to be ashamed of losing to such an Arsenal? Is it?"

The assistant coach of Leeds United asked his head coach why he was so furious when he fell behind in the first half.

"I don't want to lose too much face." Eddie Gray patted his butt, pushed open the door of the locker room, and didn't forget to turn his head and smile at his assistant, "Say one more thing, if you can win, why don't you try to win?" Woolen cloth?"

…………

"Okay, guys, the happy moment is over here, Allen, if you want to twist your ass here at the end of the game, just sit down for me and listen to me." Di Gray clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention.

"In the second half, I only have one request, and that is to attack!" Eddie Gray took two steps, and suddenly kicked the tactical board into two pieces, "Remember, this is Elland Road Stadium, we Not a foil, we are not witnesses to the records of the fucking shit!"

The head coach of Leeds United was like a lion that suddenly went mad, yelling at his players: "Let those bastards see who is home here! Let that arrogant black big man know, anger Leeds United The end! Let me tell you, losing is not terrible, the terrible thing is not daring to win!!!”

"Roar————" The teammates roared like a group of hungry and crazy food, "Let them taste our strength! Leeds United!!!!"

"Victory belongs to Leeds United! It belongs to us!"

"Fuck Arsenal bastards! Get 'em off Elland Road!"

"This is Elland Road! It's our territory!!"

The whole locker room was about to explode. Li Rui's eyes were red, and he screamed with his teammates, waving his arms like crazy. At this time, if the Arsenal players appeared in front of them, they would definitely think that they had encountered a forest demon. Wolf……

Albertini is also waving his arms, this head coach is different from any head coach he has ever experienced, Sacchi?Like a respectable elder, Zaccheroni?More like a very ordinary Italian man, Capello?Well, he'd look more like a mafia godfather in black.

However, Albertini has to admit that the head coach in front of him has already convinced himself. He believes that he will not leave any regrets in Leeds United. What, what else is there to regret?

…………

Wenger looked calm and didn't speak yet. The professor took a pen and scratched on the notebook. He raised his head and looked at his disciples, and found that everyone was looking at him.

"In the first half, you didn't do a bad job." Wenger put the notebook away, stood up and said, "It's true, we had more shots than our opponents, and we had more threatening offenses than our opponents, but you guys were on top. Don't you think it's unfair to find out at half-time that we've scored one less than our opponents, maybe it's a bad sign, God doesn't want us to set a record?"

No one spoke, but the expressions on everyone's faces clearly stated that their head coach was right, and this was what Wenger was most worried about. He never doubted the strength of his players, but now , in the face of the situation where a great record is about to be created, he knows that the only thing that can beat Arsenal is the team's mentality imbalance. The team is under heavy pressure and cannot bear this pressure!

…………

Vieira stood up, as the captain, he had to say something, "Guys, the conceded goal is my fault, I am willing to take the responsibility, I failed to watch the Italian, but I promise the second half, he will not Another chance."

Lauren also stood up, "I have a share too, I couldn't keep an eye on that Chinese boy."

Reyes, who had been silent all this time, also spoke. He was still annoyed by the fact that he missed a goal in the first half. There is a chance, but I promise, I will try to score goals in the second half!"

Wenger still didn't speak, he looked at the team's deputy, Henry smiled and said, "Well, guys, I want to say, in the second half, it's a big deal, we score two goals and just overtake the score. It's no big deal! "

No one would feel that Henry was bragging, and everyone took it for granted, a reversal?Arsenal are never afraid to score goals?Arsenal has never been lacking, and the pressure on the players' hearts is suddenly much easier.

Wenger smiled. Seeing that the atmosphere was right, he knocked on the table, "Do you still remember the last game of last season, the game against Leicester City? We were also behind, but at the end of the game, we History was made, we had an unbeaten season..."

Everyone looks at their manager, this is their manager, this is Arsene Wenger, it is rare to see him go into a rage, but, just like now, to see the manager calm down, Arsenal players, a I feel that I have a bottom line in my heart, as if it is not difficult to equalize the score and overtake the score...

**********
During the intermission, Huang Jianxiang felt that his voice was hoarse. During the 45-minute commentary in the first half, he also drank too much water, tidied up the things on the commentary booth, turned off the microphone, and came to the Toilets at Elland Road Stadium.

"Haha, it's so exciting, maybe Leeds United can really stop Arsenal."

"It's hard to say, Arsenal will definitely attack in the second half, but I don't know if Leeds United can hold on to this advantage."

"I don't think Leeds United will stick to it." Li Ai said, seeing the questioning eyes of his companions, he explained, "How can the head coach of Leeds United, that guy who is full of foul language, tolerate being beaten by Arsenal at home?" Pressing and hitting? He doesn't seem like a guy who can watch other people's glory. In fact, it's really uncomfortable to watch others set records." Li Rui has not been idle these days, in order to quickly become a die-hard Li Rui fan , he collected a lot of news and materials about Leeds United, among which, the head coach of Leeds United, who has been called a 'rogue coach' by many media, aroused his great interest.

I believe that at this time, if Eddie Gray heard the words of this Chinese named Li Rui, he would shake hands with Li Ai with tears in his eyes and shout, "Long live the understanding!"

Huang Jianxiang could hear clearly in the bathroom. He spoke Chinese. He guessed it must be the Chinese fans in the stands who came to cheer for Li Rui. He quickly washed his hands and ran out, wanting to meet these fans. He listened to that fan The analysis is in every way, and I have a chat with them if I have the heart.

Unfortunately, they were nowhere to be seen. Huang Jianxiang looked over, all of them were foreigners...well, in fact, he himself was the foreigner, for these Englishmen.

…………

During the intermission, the commentators of the major TV stations were busy advising the head coaches of both sides, and they were extremely busy.

The commentator of Sky TV was there to point out Jiangshan, "What Leeds United should do in the second half is to defend the 15 minutes after the start of the second half. As long as they can withstand Arsenal's onslaught during this period, Leeds United will have the hope of scoring a goal. The lead has been maintained."

"SHIT! Shit! Can Leeds United beat us? Dream it!" This was the anger of the Arsenal fans in front of the TV.

Obviously, the commentator is inclined to support Leeds United's victory over Arsenal. Arsenal's 42-game unbeaten golden stature is broken, which will make the media and non-Arsenal fans even more excited ---
Things that can destroy perfection are always the most exciting, otherwise, where do so many come from, where is the virginity complex?This may be a bit of nonsense, but I do not deny that there are quite a few people who have such thoughts...

***********
After the start of the second half of the game, what surprised many people was that Leeds United did not have the slightest intention of shrinking their defense and holding the advantage of a ball. Arsenal even launched a tidal attack in order to equalize the score as soon as possible. Do not give in.

Milner broke through from the wing and passed the ball into the penalty area. Alan Smith headed the ball. Li Rui turned his back to the goal and stopped the ball with his chest. Feeling the pressure from Lauren behind him, Li Rui couldn't turn around easily, so he just went straight to the goal. Leaning back, leaning against the Arsenal central defender, half-turned and volleyed directly, and the ball missed the post slightly.

While the fans of Leeds United were still applauding Li Rui's beautiful shot, Arsenal had quickly launched a counterattack.

Toure directly approached Bergkamp with a big foot. The latter skillfully passed Ian Hart, and then made a beautiful pass over the top. On the penalty area line, Henry stopped the ball, turned around, and volleyed. It was done in one go, but it was a pity that the ball was not able to hit the strength and was hugged tightly by Carson.

The two sides fought aggressively and enjoyed the attack, which also caused the situation on the court to be a bit chaotic. Both sides frequently made some mistakes that should not have been made. Now it depends on who can seize the opportunity as soon as possible to score first.

…………

The goal finally appeared in the 61st minute of the game.

Bergkamp was about 23 meters away from the goal. After receiving a pass from Fabregas, he dunked Radebe who was defending him on the left side of the penalty area, and then took a strong shot. The ball hit the penalty area. Dubury's calf changed direction and almost rolled out of the bottom line by rubbing against the pillar!
corner kick.

Pires' corner kick was taken. In the penalty area, Campbell had the upper hand in the fight with Radebe and headed the goal. Carson subconsciously blocked it in front of the goal. The ball bounced to the right of the penalty area. There, Cesc Fabregas used an unconventional shooting action, used a knee pad, and the ball bounced and rolled into the net...

2: 2!

…………

"GOOOOOAAAAAL!!! Fabregas! Fabregas!! It's the second goal of the season for the 17-year-old, two rounds in a row! 61 minutes into the game, 2:2! Arsenal equalized the score."

In the penalty area of ​​Leeds United, Henry hugged Cesc Fabregas, grabbed the hair of the big Spanish boy, and shouted excitedly: "Francisco, great! Well done!"

"Oh, hell!" Eddie Gray was furious on the sidelines and threw the notebook in his hand to the ground.

Seeing this goal, Wenger had a smile on his face. He stood on the sidelines, smiling and applauding to the inside.

"Damn it, look at the fun of the Frenchman, isn't it just an equalizer? Country bumpkin!" Eddie Gray murmured to his assistant.

Gustavo Poyet gave a wry smile and didn't answer the question. He knew that he didn't need to answer at all. The head coach was just out of balance.

…………

The other Arsenal players also rushed over crazily, slapped Fabregas on the shoulder, and they were extremely excited. Although the Arsenal players had the confidence to equalize the score or even overtake the score, they watched the goal keep coming. He didn't show up for a long time, and it was impossible to say that he was not in a hurry. Now, this goal equalized the score, and the big stone that was weighing on the hearts of the Arsenal players was finally removed, and the mood was relaxed.

Cesc Fabregas smiled shyly. He ran to the away stands where the Arsenal fans were, lifted up the jersey, and kissed deeply on the team badge. This was what his roommate, the Swiss boy Senderos, told him. , At such a time, this kind of action is the time to win the hearts of fans the most. When he said this, Senderos's expression was like a colorful lizard sticking out his colorful tongue... For his good friend Cesc Fabregas believed it. Sure enough, this action caused the Arsenal fans to go crazy. At this moment, all the Arsenal fans were crazy about this big Spanish boy...

After celebrating the goal, Cesc Fabregas did not forget to turn his head to look at Li Rui, "China boy, I also scored a goal..."

Li Rui naturally saw the look in Cesc Fabregas' eyes, and he clenched his fists in frustration. He already knew that the guy staring at him when he entered the field was the Spanish kid. It seems that this guy is called Fabregas The guy from Gass had sex with him... Li Rui said to himself, 'We'll see! '.

…………

Leeds United does not seem to have come out of this conceded goal. Although it is said that they are not afraid of losing, on the court, when they concede a goal, their mental discomfort and consideration of gains and losses still have a great impact on the players, while Arsenal After the goal, there was no slowing down the tempo of the attack, and Arsenal's chances followed.

Pires took the ball in the frontcourt and tore through Leeds United's defense with a millimeter-accurate pass. I said silently in my heart, "This time, I must go in! I must!!"

Reyes's shots often deliberately pursue angles, and this time is no exception. He chose to push his right foot to the near corner of the goal. The ball rolled past Carson's side and rolled towards the goal. However, this time, the goal But the post blocked the shot... The ball hit the post and bounced back into the penalty area, and Radebe quickly drove the ball out of the danger zone with a big kick.

Leeds United escaped.

The live camera can capture the Spanish shooter's eyes full of anger and unwillingness... Reyes jumped up grabbing his hair.

Seeing this scene, Wenger frowned on the sidelines. He was not angry at Reyes' single-handed failure, but he keenly captured that it seemed that the Spanish striker's confidence in shooting was seriously affected.

Wenger turned around and said to the bench behind him, "Robin, go warm up, I won't tell you not to come back."

Van Persie, who originally thought he would not have a chance in this game, was stunned for a moment, then excitedly agreed, followed assistant coach Rice behind Leeds United's goal, and started warming up...
