Jagged Wings

Chapter 61 Future Teammates

"In this game, we want to make Chelsea's fear come true. In addition to increasing the speed, I ask the whole team to be aggressive, especially the midfielder!" Wenger said: "It must be aggressive!"

Several people in the midfield nodded.

In another locker room, Mourinho is also giving his final instructions to his players. After more than 20 minutes, they will walk out of this locker room to face a strong enemy.

"I want to emphasize what I have repeated countless times before, this is the most critical game so far this season!" Mourinho said seriously: "This game is a game we can't afford to lose. If you win, you will be flat; if you lose, you will fall into the abyss. Where you go is up to you! I know that saying this will bring you huge pressure. But bear the pressure and perform under pressure, It is a necessary quality to be a champion member!"

"Remember in this game, the draw is our failure, we must win!"

"Pay attention to defending their striker Henry, he runs very flexibly, I will not assign people to mark, the important thing is to cut off the connection between him and Arsenal's two wings. This is very demanding for the entire defense line, you must concentrate Energy! Our opponents are very good at possession of the ball, so we will give them the possession. When they find that they cannot attack, it is time for us to counterattack!"

While the coaches of both sides were still making final arrangements, the fans in the narrow stands of Highbury Stadium gathered more and more.

The Highbury Stadium was completely full, even two or three people were crowded into the same seat, and many people stood in the aisle, filling the entire stands.

Players from both sides stand in the tunnel, waiting to play.

The live broadcast is introducing to the fans the list of players from both sides of the match. At the very beginning, the name of Chelsea’s starting players is read. Each time one is announced, except for [-] Chelsea fans, all other Arsenal fans respond with boos .

Chelsea's list will soon run out, followed by Arsenal's list.Every time an Arsenal player's name is pronounced, there will be deafening cheers from the stands.

When the starting line-up was read on the live broadcast, players from both sides happened to be on the field, so the announcer started with the first Arsenal player to come out, and each name would get a lot of cheers.

Live broadcast first read: "Henry—"

The fans followed immediately: "Thier——"

Henry led the way at the front of the line. He looked up at the stands, and it was different from when he was warming up just now. There were a lot more people, and there were hardly any vacant seats in the stands.

The Gunners fans in the stands were shouting Henry's name loudly. Although Henry lacks personal temperament as the captain, he has undoubtedly become Arsenal's spiritual leader and the banner on the field.

The fans shouted like a tsunami, making the atmosphere of the scene extremely hot, which is very different from the usual league.

After entering the field, players from both sides lined up to take pictures and then shook hands with each other.

After these necessary procedures, Henry walked out of the team and joined Terry in front of the referees. The captains of the two teams tossed a coin.

Henry got the right to pick a side. He chose the half the team is currently in and made no changes.After Henry shook hands with Terry and the four referees, he ran back.

"They tee off first!" he yelled at his teammates.

Everyone nodded to indicate that they heard.

Then the Arsenal players put their shoulders together and formed a circle, cheering everyone up.

Henry wanted to brew, but Reyes got ahead of him.

"This is the home court! Everyone understands! Chelsea bastards can't be allowed to act aggressively at Highbury!" Reyes said fiercely.

"Is this what I should say?" Henry rolled his eyes, this kid is too stealthy.

"Pay attention to defense first! Don't let them score!"

Henry said.

"No problem!" Senderos raised his thumb.Compared with his teammate Eboue in the defense, Senderos looks a lot older.

"The game is about to start, let's pay attention to a few key players in this game—" Martin Taylor, the commentator of England's Sky TV, said to the camera. In the next second, close-ups of several players on the field appeared on the TV screen. Under the close-up of each player, there are various data of the player's fifteen rounds of the league this season.

It was Henry who first appeared on Arsenal's side, and then Reyes.

On the Chelsea side are Lampard and Robben.

"What do you think of these four, Gary?" Taylor said to Gary Lineker, who was sitting next to him.

Both of them are well-known football commentators in the UK. Taylor was once named the best commentator of the Premier League for ten years.And Gary Lineker was a famous player when he was young. He was quite a gentleman on the court. He has never received a red or yellow card in his career. This is somewhat related to his role as a striker, but not every striker does not. Card.It is not easy for Lineker to do this throughout his career, and it is commendable.

Next, the two analyzed the recent performance and season performance of the four players, and then discussed some hot topics before the game.Both of them have been football commentators for many years, and they both have profound attainments in football.Once they analyzed many problems, they dug a lot deeper.

But when it came to predicting the score, the two had disagreements.

"Innocent Gentleman" Gary Lineker backed Chelsea, while Martin Taylor was optimistic about Arsenal, both denying the possibility of a draw.In their view, a draw in such a classic game is definitely an obliteration of the classic.

The two insisted on their own opinions, each had their own reasons, and the two sides argued with each other non-stop.In the end, they found that neither of them could convince the other.

"Okay, the game is about to start, let's go back to the scene." Martin Taylor said in silence: "Everything now is a pre-match prediction, and the real result will naturally be known in 90 minutes."

The two set their sights on the live TV.

On the screen, players from both sides have already stood up according to their respective formations, and this "Britain's Battle of the Century" is about to start.

"Okay!" Lineker also stopped arguing, turned to look at the TV in front of him, and said with a smile: "If one of us wins, how come the loser will be punished?"

"Highbury Stadium has a long history. It has gone through 92 years. Many buildings near it are also very old. I am very interested in these old things. I heard that there is a famous building outside Highbury Stadium. A coffee shop called 'Arsenal', how about I suggest the losing side have a drink at this Arsenal coffee shop after the game?"

"It's just what I want!" Lineker smiled: "Wait to pay for it, haha, Martin, you are bound to lose!"

"That's not necessarily the case, let's watch the game!"

In the dialogue between Martin Taylor and Beileinker, the referee finally blew the whistle to start the game.

Drogba knocked the ball to Duff, who passed it back to Lampard who was waiting behind.

Lampard took two steps forward and passed it back to Makelele. Jenas rushed up to break Makelele's ball aggressively.

After receiving the ball, Jenas was not greedy for credit. He looked up and saw Reyes on the wing rushing forward, so he passed the football to him.

Reyes lifted his foot close to the sideline and unloaded the football beautifully. When he looked up again, Gallas was in front of him.Reyes is familiar with several of Chelsea's full-backs, and now Gallas has pushed Ferreira to the bench.

Reyes knows the defender will come to Arsenal at a discounted fee as part of Chelsea's purchase of Ashley Cole at the end of the season.Although he is about to become a teammate, this does not mean that Reyes will show mercy.

You can't tell Gallas that brother, I actually traveled here, and we will be teammates in half a year. Brother, can you let me pass by?
Gallas believed it was strange, so Reyes didn't do anything.

"Guess whether I hit the bottom or the cross?" Reyes slowed down and teased. He liked to say a few words to his opponent.

But Ferreira didn't say a word, and Reyes didn't say a word, and after an inside feint, he slammed the football forward along the touchline.Gallas quickly turned around and stuck to it, and the two bodies collided.As a French international, Gallas is also very good at letting go. His center of gravity sank, he pulled Reyes' clothes with one hand, kept his balance with the other hand, and tackled with his feet!
Reyes knew what he was going to do as soon as he saw Gallas posting it, so he tiptoed the football forward.Then he took two big steps, accelerated again and avoided Gallas's shovel.
