Volume 1 Chapter 31: I'm behind you!
Henry's appearance on the sidelines has caused the whole stadium to boil.
Even though there was someone standing next to him, the fans automatically ignored him.
However, it caused a huge uproar in the far East.
"The 33-year-old Henry returns to the Emirates Stadium. He will wear the No. 12 jersey and play for Arsenal again after three years!"
After a pause, Zhan Jun said, "Of course we also need to focus on the figure next to Henry, Lucky! The 17-year-old Chinese player transferred from Sporting Lisbon to Arsenal for 800,000 euros in the summer transfer window this year!"
Coach Zhang Lu also said with emotion, "After Guo Liang left, we once again saw a Chinese teenager step into the Premier League, which is a happy thing for us."
There aren't many shots given to Lucky, but that doesn't stop people from discussing Lucky.
'17 years old? Number 4 in my factory?'
'Vieira or Fabregas?'
'It must be Vieira. Now the Arsenal fans are almost hating the Spaniard! '
'But then again, is this a suitable debut? This is Henry's comeback game! How many goals does he have to score to be noticed! '
"The professor should give me a better debut stage, after all, I am number 4!"
'Replacing Alexander Song, should play as defensive midfielder!'
Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu also looked at the barrage and started a discussion.
"As Arsenal did not release much information about Lucky, from the information provided to us by the program team, we can see that when he was in Sporting Lisbon, Lucky played as a full-back, and his defensive ability is definitely beyond doubt. And Alexander Song's poor performance also gave him the opportunity to debut in advance!"
"That's right. Even though this debut stage isn't that great, we still have to perform well!"
Coaches Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu are very passionate.
The hearts of Premier League fans are equally passionate.
Emperor Wang Yi played very well in Ligue 1, scoring 20 goals in a single season, which made Chinese fans who follow Ligue 1 cry.
In La Liga, there is also Liu Kairui. The defensive ability of Atletico Madrid's iron guard is worthy of recognition, and he even has the potential to become the core of defense in the future.
Not many people watch the Portuguese Super League, but because of Chen Man, some people are paying attention.
On the contrary, Chinese players have been slow to make their mark in the most-watched Premier League.
Guo Liang and others were forced to leave, which also made fans who like to watch the Premier League sad.
Now the sudden appearance of Lucky has rekindled their fire of hope.
If they can see Lucky every week, they will be satisfied.
…
On this side of the field, Lucky and Henry have already entered the game.
Lucky didn't high-five Alexander Song, and the guy had no desire to high-five either.
The moment he stepped onto the field, Lucky felt the thunderous cheers coming from all around him.
He knew that the cheers were for Henry.
Looking at Henry's back, even though he was wearing the No. 12 jersey, he was still the king of the gun.
It was also at this moment that Lucky understood !
A badge number will not bring honor to a person, but a person can give a badge number a special meaning!
Lekai jogged all the way to the position of defensive midfielder.
Arteta came over first.
He walked straight towards Lucky and said with a smile, "I wish you a perfect debut!"
"Thank you!" Lucky smiled.
Arteta immediately raised his fist and said, "I just rush forward?"
Lekai was stunned for a moment, then smiled and also stretched out his fist.
The two of them bumped into each other lightly.
"I'm behind you!"
The first thing Lucky did after coming on the court was to find Koscielny.
"When defending, don't rush in right away. I'll limit him first. If I can't hold on, we'll double-team him!"
Koscielny spat to the side and nodded, "Okay! Don't go to the front court, our defense is under a lot of pressure."
Lucky laughed secretly in his heart. This guy was almost driven crazy by Alexander Song.
Immediately, Lucky looked at Townsend opposite him from afar.
A 180cm tall, burly man with a big beard.
During the time off the court, Lucky had been keeping an eye on this guy. In fact, compared to those forwards of Arsenal, this guy's ability was not outstanding.
Alexander Song is fully capable of one-on-one defense, but the problem is that his mentality has been ruined.
Once your mentality goes wrong, it will affect your performance. In the worst case, it may even cause your movements to become deformed.
Alexander Song had obviously reached this point, so the professor replaced him.
It can be said that this bearded Townsend caused great trouble to Arsenal's defense.
And after Lucky came on the stage, his main job was to make this guy completely lose his voice!
"Alright guys! Let's get one in!"
With Alexander Song leaving the pitch, Henry once again wore the captain's armband.
And his simple words fully boosted morale.
Lekai could feel that everyone's eyes were fixed on the opponent's goal, and their eyes were as fierce as those of wolves and tigers.
At the same time, Zheng Xin in the stands was full of excitement.
Really on stage?
He hastily reopened his notebook to record the data.
Beside him, Billy's family was crying loudly.
"Go ahead! Little Lucky!"
"Kill that bearded guy!"
"Don't let him be so arrogant!"
Billy yelled very loudly, but Lucky couldn't hear him at all in the noisy scene.
At this time, Lucky's attention was all focused on the competition.
The game starts again!
Leeds United launched a hand-thrown ball from the wing.
This is a position near the center circle. If the first pass is good, it can threaten the penalty area.
Lekai turned his head to look at the positions of his teammates and quietly moved closer to the middle.
"Let's fight back right here!"
Leeds United midfielder Värinen kicked off and threw the ball to Becchio, who passed it directly to Townsend.
After getting the ball, bearded Townsend wanted to drive straight along the wing and replicate his previous kick.
But just as he was about to run, he was startled by a figure suddenly appearing in front of him.
When he saw that young face, he felt a little contempt.
Bearded Townsend flicked the ball with his left foot, trying to rely on his speed to overpower the opponent.
Lekai rushed over instantly and poked the ball behind the opponent with his toes.
'Startup is too slow!'
Lucky made a steal at the start of the game.
Lucky competes with Walcott every day. Compared with Walcott's start, this guy's start can only be called a snail's pace.
At the same time, Lekai also looked up and then passed the ball to Arteta who came to receive it.
Arteta quickly passed the ball and Arsenal started to counterattack directly.
"Leeds United prepared to throw the ball in, Becchio got the ball and passed it to Townsend, who dribbled and tried to replicate his previous dribbling breakthrough."
At this moment, Zhan Jun's eyes lit up. He saw Lekai approaching him on his own initiative, and his voice became a little higher.
"Lekai! Go up! He signals to the full-back Squillaci not to go forward, what will he do?... Decisive kick! Clean and neat steal! The ball is passed to Arteta, Arteta quickly passes the ball to Arshavin, Arshavin passes the ball to Ramsey, Ramsey moves sideways to Henry, Arsenal's passing and cutting are coordinated!"
"Henry shoots! Ah~~~ The ball hits the post and flies out, but this shot is really dangerous! Henry! He's still as skilled as ever!"
Coach Zhang Lu obviously didn't want to talk about Henry anymore, and said directly: "The steal by Lekai just now was very exciting. It happened to be stuck in the rhythm change that Townsend was about to start. At this time, he suddenly made a steal and Townsend had no way to stop him."
"And there's a detail!"
"After Lekai stole the ball, he didn't pass the ball right away. Instead, looked up ahead. What does this mean? He must be very skilled! He made this move because he had the confidence. Otherwise, it would be unnecessary!"
Coach Zhang Lu's comments were sharp, but unfortunately they did not have more data to verify.
But after Lucky and Henry came on the court, the changes were immediate.
This can be felt from the gradually becoming lively atmosphere at the home stadium.
The fans who had been cursing and booing before were now cheering and shouting.
The atmosphere gradually became more heated...
On the sidelines, Wenger also nodded slightly.
Lucky's performance lived up to his expectations.
Compared to 33-year-old Henry, he is obviously more concerned about Lucky.
After the first steal, Lucky ran directly to the center circle and started protecting this area, and now... he is yelling at his teammates!
"Retreat! Retreat!"
"Our attack is over! Come back to me now!"
Lekai stood in the center circle, yelling and making gestures to retreat to his teammates.
It looked like he was going to beat someone up if they ran too slowly.
The Arsenal players, who were holding their heads to express regret, looked at each other and quickly retreated.
Lekai is right, the attack is over, and now we have to retreat to defend.
Henry also looked at Lucky again, and he thought of Vieira again.
That’s how Vieira used to yell at them.
…
The game entered the offensive phase between the two sides.
Both Arsenal and Leeds United want to score goals.
But compared to Arsenal's silky attack, Leeds United encountered repeated setbacks.
The bearded Townsend, who had performed well before, was even more silent.
He has been frustrated several times in Arsenal's midfield and defense.
The one who caused these changes was the number 4 who just came on the court!
Intercept and steal!
Join your teammates to surround and double-team.
This guy seems to be everywhere, and his activity gradually makes me lose my voice .
He tried many extraordinary methods, but all ended in failure.
Repeated failures made Townsend extremely depressed and irritated.
In this situation, his movements became rough.
In the 43rd minute, Leeds United launched a counterattack with a long pass into the Arsenal field.
Both Lucky and Townsend arrived at the landing point first, and then they started a fierce physical confrontation.
bump!!
After the first collision, both Lucky and Townsend retreated half a step.
Both of them were a little surprised.
This guy is more crash-resistant than I thought!
But the next second, the two collided again.
This time, Lucky has the clear advantage!
Lucky pushed Townsend away from the landing point and turned a deaf ear to Townsend who was pushing and nudging him from behind.
His two feet were firmly planted like nails, and he raised his head, his eyes fixed on the ball.
He jumped at the right time, headed the ball across to Ramsey's feet.
