Volume 2 Chapter 9 Don’t give up!
Los Angeles, USA.
In a villa, famous actor Matt Damon rushed back home after finishing an event.
He gave his agent a confusing reason.
'I'm rushing back to watch a Vlog! '
As we all know, Matt Damon is an avid fan of Arsenal. He has appeared in the stands of Arsenal games many times to cheer for the team.
He also did something crazy.
At a charity auction, he wrote 'Tottenham sucks' after buying a piece of art.
This move caused an uproar in the audience.
Many people have accused Matt Damon of needing to lead by example as a public figure.
But Matt Damon ignored it and continued to do as he pleased.
His profession is that of an actor, a job that requires one to wear a mask and immerse oneself in the role.
He already wears enough masks in his daily work, so many times, Matt Damon lets himself go.
Matt Damon is an avid Arsenal fan and his favorite player is Vieira.
The iron-blooded captain of Arsenal.
He still remembers how fierce the confrontation between Arsenal led by Vieira and Manchester United led by Keane was.
He was deeply moved by Arsenal's beautiful football and iron-blooded spirit at that time .
But since Vieira left, Arsenal seems to have lost its spiritual pillar.
They still play beautiful football, but have lost the most important spirit.
Since then, Matt Damon has kept an eye on Arsenal but has rarely attended events.
Because this is not the Arsenal he imagined!
Sometimes he even counted the days, and before he knew it, Vieira had been away from them for seven years.
And in the past six years, they have not won any championship.
This is an extremely sad thing.
Matt Damon doesn't know what the future holds for Arsenal, but he will keep watching until that ray of light appears.
Fortunately, he didn't have to wait too long for that beam of light.
In the first round of the 2012/2013 Premier League season, Arsenal vs. Sunderland.
The success of a young boy who came on as a substitute made him excited again.
That brave sliding tackle, that powerful posture in blocking the opponent's attacks time and time again, and the number 4 printed on the back of the jersey!
The back figure at that moment seemed to overlap with the figure in my mind.
The passion that had been dormant for seven years began to surge in my heart again.
The strong wind of 2005 swept across Vieira's body, blowing the No. 4 jersey of 2012 again.
Not the same person though!
But their postures are so similar!
Matt Damon was so excited that he jumped up.
"This is Vieira! He is the next Vieira!!"
Matt Damon hasn't been this excited in a long time.
And all this is because of a boy named Lekai!
Matt Damon returned home and sat down in front of his computer without even taking off his tuxedo, opening Arsenal's official homepage.
He looked at the time and saw that there were still 5 minutes before the Vlog was released.
Matt Damon rubbed his hands together and said excitedly: "Come on! Let me get to know you!"
At the same time, there are a large number of Arsenal fans in London doing the same thing.
They all sit in front of their computers, wanting to pay attention to it first.
19:00 London time.
With a ding-dong sound, the official website was updated.
Fans clicked in immediately.
Matt Damon couldn't wait to click it.
The screen was black and shaking, and there were sporadic sounds.
Soon, the screen lit up.
A young man's face appeared in front of him. He seemed to have just woken up and greeted the camera with sleepy eyes:
"Hello, guys! The professor asked me to shoot a Vlog for you! But I don't have any experience, so don't blame me if it's not good."
Lucky was talking, but most people's eyes were focused on his strong body.
Matt Damon clenched his fists and exclaimed, "Wow! These muscles are amazing!"
Amid the rustling sound of people getting dressed, Lekai dressed neatly, ran out of the house with his phone in hand, and said to the camera:
"I am a Chinese. There is a saying in my hometown: 'A day's plan begins in the morning'. I don't know how to translate it, so you can find it yourself!"
"I take my morning training very seriously. Come on! Let's go for a run together!"
Lekai shook his head, then started running with his phone in hand.
Matt Damon could be heard breathing evenly, and it sounded like he had good endurance.
At this time, Lucky spoke again.
"This section of the journey will not be announced to you. To be honest, guys, your fighting power is too strong. I have climbed over the wall for five consecutive days. Let me go! Okay?"
Matt Damon laughed loudly and said, "Hahaha! How is that possible! I've got my eyes on you!"
So did other Arsenal fans.
Lucky said, "Okay! I'll take that as your agreement! And don't disturb me during training. Believe me, I will kick your asses to pieces!"
The running process was not fully captured. When the camera came on again, Lucky was already dressed and holding a ball, facing the camera.
"Let me show you a special skill that I've been practicing. It's about 5 kilometers from here to the training base. During this time, I'll be juggling the ball. You can supervise me!"
Matt Damon was stunned for a moment and thought to himself:
Five kilometers? Juggling the ball?
impossible?
But in the video, Kodak has already started without any room for discussion.
Arsenal fans, including Matt Damon, kept staring, watching the ball go up and down, running all the time.
I stared at it like this for nearly half an hour. When the ball finally hit the ground, the camera flipped over and Lucky tapped the screen and laughed;
"Guys, are you still there?"
At this time, all Arsenal fans were stunned.
During the five-kilometer race, Lucky was juggling the ball the entire time without letting it drop once.
Yes, they witnessed it with their own eyes!
Matt Damon held his head and exclaimed: "How is this possible!"
In the footage, Lucky laughed and said, "Don't question me, I didn't edit it, and there was no interruption in the middle. OK, I'm going to climb over the wall, and I won't tell you where I'm climbing over the wall!"
Hahahahahahahahahahaha~~~~
Matt Damon couldn't help but burst out laughing again.
Obviously, Arsenal fans really pushed Lucky to the point of no return.
The following video is not long, only half an hour, but it is all about Lucky’s training within the team.
It's basically edited and played out in segments, with no coherent images.
But even so, they can still see Lekai's fierce defensive ability in training games.
Arsenal's forwards took turns to play, and almost everyone suffered a setback.
At this moment, the fans were not only surprised by Lucky's defensive ability.
At the same time, they also understood that Lucky's performance in that game was not an extreme performance, but a normal performance!
At this moment, their hearts were burning with passion.
An 18-year-old super defensive midfielder, who wouldn’t love him!
The scene turned again, and it was already evening.
Lekai has returned to the room and changed into a dry short-sleeved shirt and shorts.
The cell phone was placed not far in front of him, and Lucky moved a chair and sat opposite him.
"Let's chat! First of all, let me introduce myself. My name is Lekai, I'm from Northeast China, and I joined Arsenal last July. I'd like to add that my name is 'yue', not 'yu'. If you really can't pronounce this, then you can just call me 'kai'!"
Lucky said with a distressed look, "The sound of 'yu' seems to be hushing me."
Arsenal fans smiled again, they didn't know how many times they had laughed like this.
But they thought Lucky was very interesting and gradually began to like him.
"I won't try to please you. First of all, I'm not an Arsenal fan. In fact, when I was very young, I liked Inter Milan. But after coming to Arsenal, I found it's a good place!"
"But guys, our atmosphere is not good! The home stadium is too quiet. You have to make some noise to scare our opponents. We are the Gunners!"
Arsenal fans did not feel offended by Lucky's complaints.
In fact, most of the time, they are indeed too quiet.
"How about talking about something deep? I don't think anyone would like this, but I decided to say it anyway."
Lekai sat cross-legged on the ground, took the phone, and moved closer to maintain a chatting distance.
Lucky said seriously, "I joined Arsenal last year, but to be honest, the atmosphere was terrible. It was so tense and depressing that it was hard to breathe. Yes, we were going through a very bad period. Two captains left us, which was a terrible thing for us."
"But no hardship is insurmountable. We are Arsenal. We have experienced difficulties and honors. We are still in the top league. This is the foundation of Arsenal!"
"If you're still in front of the screen, we can obviously have a peaceful chat. Of course, it's also possible that there's no one! Haha, am I talking to myself?"
Arsenal fans stared at the video with serious expressions.
Contrary to Lucky's expectations, almost no one left, although he didn't know it.
"Next is a conversation between men!"
Lucky came forward and tapped the screen and said;
"Hey guys, what are you confused about?"
"Those who leave will eventually leave. Whether we agree or not, we have to accept this fact!"
"And what lies before us is the choice of the moment!"
"From Woolwich to Highbury, and from Highbury to the Emirates Stadium, Arsenal has been moving forward! It has never stopped!"
“The former ones brought this team to the top level, injected a spirit into it and named it ‘Never Give Up’!”
"Don't forget, we are standing on the shoulders of giants and looking into the future. They brought Arsenal here, and they handed Arsenal to us, not to let it stay here, but to let us struggle and squirm, and crawl forward no matter how difficult it is! Let's take everything they have to challenge higher honors!"
"No team is born a champion! They have also gone through many hardships."
"Yes, this is not an easy task. The road is full of thorns and tests!"
"But that's what makes champions so fascinating, isn't it?"
"Guys, stand up straight! Let the players hear your voices! Your shouts! Your ideas!"
"Manchester City made the golden rain fall on the Manchester City Stadium with their efforts, why can't we do the same?"
"Premier League, FA Cup, Europa League, Champions League, Community Shield, etc... so many championships, why doesn't one belong to us?"
Lucky said to the camera sincerely, "In fact, the answer is already engraved in your bones and flows in your blood..."
Three fingers up!
"do not give up!"
The screen goes black and the Vlog ends!
