"Coach Arthur, congratulations on winning the game, but can you tell us why you chose Xiao as the captain of this game." A reporter from the Daily Mail asked what everyone present wanted to ask the most.
question.
Wenger won the game 3-0 and had one foot in the League Cup final. Wenger seemed very happy, with a smile on his face and said jokingly: "Actually, I don't know why, so I just leave it to him. Maybe it's God."
It’s my wish, there’s no reason, haha.”
"Hehehe"~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The words also caused bursts of laughter from everyone present.
"Well, there is actually no definite reason, but I thought Xiao could do well, so I gave him a chance, and he did it, leading the team to win. I am very satisfied with this game. Wigan's players are very talented.
Points, very hard work, the process of the game was much more difficult than the results showed, but luckily my team took advantage of the opportunity."
After Wenger won, he also greatly complimented Wigan's performance, after all, this is their home ground.
"Xiao, may I ask, how does it feel to be the captain for the first time?" Seeing that Wenger had nothing to say, the reporter from the Daily Mirror shifted the topic to Xiao Ge.
"It's wonderful. I didn't expect that the coach would hand me the captain's armband. Fortunately, I performed well. Of course, I am very grateful to my players for helping me. They supported me on the court, but I also want to thank the coach for his support.
Trust, this is the most important thing, well, I am really grateful." Xiao Ge nodded solemnly and turned to look at Wenger.
"Xiao really deserves my trust." Wenger also nodded happily. Wenger was indeed very satisfied with today's results, and Xiao Ge's performance did not live up to his arrangements. In this game, Wenger sent all his teammates in the midfield
The main force, but sent Abeye to partner Xiao Ge in the frontcourt, also to see if Xiao Ge can take the lead in the frontcourt and gamble on his own vision.
"Hehehehe" "kick-kick-kick-kick"~~~~~ The reporters on site faithfully recorded this scene of master-disciple harmony.
"Jevil, what do you think of this game? Are you confident of advancing?"
"Well, we missed some opportunities to score goals in this game, and Arsenal are better than us, but the most important thing is that they have a good captain. Xiao's goal made us very passive, and the goal came too early.
Already.
Arsenal played very patiently throughout this game. At one point, our perfect defense lost its meaning. The opponent did not make any mistakes. On the contrary, they played very resolutely. And we advanced to, well~~, the League Cup final.
The goal has always been." Jewell was obviously beaten by Arsenal and lost his temper, but he still lost his confidence in fighting.~~~~~~~~~
"Xiao, you did a good job today." When Xiao Ge returned to the bus, Fan Persie took the initiative to hand Xiao Ge a bottle of Gatorade. Today, Fan Persie was very quiet after seeing Xiao Ge put on the captain's armband.
"Robin, believe me, you will do well." Xiao Ge has been with him for so long, how could he not know his thoughts? Van Persie usually seems to be laughing and joking, but when it comes to football honors, he is better than anyone else.
Value, and Van Persie has always valued the comparison with Xiao Ge.
Xiao Ge also regards him as one of his competitors, but Xiao Ge still hopes that Van Persie will not be too entangled in this issue to avoid being depressed. Xiao Ge knows Van Persie's strength very well, not to mention that Van Persie's body is much better now than in his previous life.
Xiao Ge believed that he would soon wear the captain's armband, but he also secretly added a premise in his heart: when I am not on the court.
"Yes, Xiao, I will." Van Persie rarely raised any objections, locking Xiao Ge tightly with his deep eyes, with a firm look on his face.
Xiao Ge was also unwilling to be outdone. The two of them looked at each other and became silent.
"**, don't look at me like that, I'm afraid you will fall in love with me and the 'pirate girl' will kill me!!" Van Persie was the first to get angry.
"Damn, Robin, have you washed your face? There's eye mucus!!!" Xiao Ge did not fall behind.
"Hahahaha"~~~~~~~~~~
"Brilliant defense, perfect offense" was the title of the game in the Daily Telegraph.
“Wigan defended well in this game, intercepted decisively, fought fiercely, and made no mistakes. He was not killed until the 80th minute of the game.
But Arsenal's offense was even more exciting. When faced with such a high-intensity defense, Wenger's team showed great patience, constantly looking for opportunities, and did not lose their offensive advantage.
Among them, the most outstanding performer was their captain Xiao. It was his goal in the first half that forced Wigan to grab it at the last moment, and it was his second goal that killed
Contest."
"Qualified Captain - Xiao" Daily Mail once again focused its attention on Xiao Ge, pointing out that although Xiao Ge, the captain of Arsenal in this game, was only eighteen years old, his performance was absolutely qualified, even perfect.
Captain's debut.
It was Xiao's outstanding personal ability that helped Arsenal win this game and also made Wigan's defense meaningless.
"Arthur, Xiao, Discord? No" The BBC paid more attention to Xiao Ge's speeches after the game against Wenger, and used a page to show the scene of the two talking, laughing and praising each other after the game.
Pointing out that it is impossible for Xiao to leave Arsenal at this time, his heart is with Arsenal, and Arthur still loves his disciple very much, and even handed the Arsenal captain's armband to Xiao when he was 18 years old.
It is very likely that he will spend a long time at Arsenal.
At the training ground at Highbury, Arsenal's players also officially met the four new players introduced in the winter transfer market - Adebayor, Diaby, Theo Walcott and his teammate Bale.
Xiao Ge was somewhat surprised when Bell transferred to Arsenal. What he said last time was mostly a kind of comfort. Xiao Ge also deliberately asked Thompson and found out that Wenger did not intend to introduce Bell, at least this season.
However, in the past few weeks, his attitude suddenly changed, and Bell himself rejected Tottenham's invitation. Only then did Bell finally move to Arsenal.
After Wenger's introduction, he asked the players to train on their own, mainly to familiarize the four new players with the environment.
"Hey, Theo, Gareth, we meet again, hehe, welcome." As soon as Wenger left the training ground, Xiao Ge stepped forward to say hello. After all, we share weal and woe.
"Hey, Xiao, I'm here. I told you that Gareth and I will definitely come to Arsenal to find you, haha." Walcott, who was wearing a red training suit, didn't look like he did just now after seeing Xiao Ge.
I was so shy when I introduced myself.
"Hey, Xiao, you are really right, Arsenal really accepted me, haha." Bale was wearing a black training suit, and he looked more mature, not as restrained as he had seen a few months ago.
"Haha, it's good that you are here, otherwise, if you go to another team, we will be in trouble. Robin, Cesc, their speed is not slower than me. Captain, Theo is your fan, plus
Reis has also been paying attention to us." Xiao Ge also quickly introduced old and new teammates to each other.
"Well, although Xiao always talks big words, I believe him this time, haha." Fabregas said pretending to be calm.
"Hahaha"~~~~~~~~~
"Haha, welcome, Theo, Gareth, well, there are two of our team members. Let me introduce Abu and Eman. They are both very good, especially Eman. His strength response is very good, and Abu's
The skills are also very good." Henry also introduced the two big black men, Diaby and Adebayor, to the Arsenal players.
"Welcome, you guys." "Abu, do your best, I'm looking at you." ~~~~~~~~;
"Hi, Theo, Gareth, Xiao just said that your speed is no worse than his. Do you want to compare with him?"
"Yes, except for the captain and Ashley, Xiao rarely praises others for his speed." After a group of people exchanged greetings, Van Persie and Alexander Song encouraged Walcott and Bale to compete with Xiao Ge. They were very curious about the two.
speed.
"Okay, Gareth, let's go find Xiao. I also want to see how fast Xiao is." Walcott also looked forward to it.
"Xiao, let's compare speed. What do you think? Robin and the others are still watching." Walcott was not stupid and quickly shook Van Persie out.
"Okay, Gareth, come here quickly. I'm also very curious. Let's compete together." Xiao Ge also wanted Walcott and Walcott to be accepted by golfers as soon as possible, so he readily agreed and came together.
Say hello Bell.
The three of them were quickly ready on the sprint field, while the other two new players were responsible for counting the clock.
"Baby, are you ready, g~~~~~~~~o." Following Diaby's funny voice, three figures shot out, as fast as lightning.
"Oh, my God, they are both so fast."
"Look, Theo is ahead."
"Gareth isn't slow either."
"Wow, Xiao has met his opponent."
"It seems that these two brats are really good."~~~~~~~~
"Hey, this newcomer is very brave. I wonder what his strength is on the court." Fabregas also looked at Walcott's running back curiously.
"Haha, he is very familiar with Xiao. Otherwise, he would not have integrated into the team so rashly. Let's go and have a look." Looking at Walcott's running posture, Bergkamp seemed to see a familiar figure from back then, and was very surprised.
Like Henry.
"Dennis, those two newcomers are good, but there is something wrong with Gareth's running focus. He seems to have placed it relatively low." Henry also came over to participate in the discussion between the two.
"Yes, but his explosive power in sprinting is better than Theo's."
"Xiao Ge is still the best. This kid bullies newcomers, and he's so stupid again." Seeing Xiao Ge rushing out first, Fabregas said with disdain.
"Haha, let's go, let's go over and see their results." Seeing the end of the competition, Bergkamp was also quite curious about the results of the three of them.
"**, Xiao, your speed is faster again, 10.20 seconds!!" Fan Persie looked at Xiao Ge in astonishment, who was pretending to be calm.
"Forget about that monster, let's take a look at the time of Theo and Gareth." Fabregas didn't look for a blow and directly asked about the newcomers' results.
"Well, my God, their results are also terrible. Captain, your record has been broken again. Theo's time is 10.46 seconds, and Gareth's speed is not slow either. The time is 10.48 seconds. Damn it,
They are all monsters." After seeing the results, Van Persie looked at the three of them with envy and hatred.
"Oh oh oh, it's so scary."
"Oh my gosh, what a winger."
"They are still so young."~~~~~~~;
After a game, the Arsenal players at least recognized the two newcomers who were less than 17 years old. Afterwards, Adebayor and Diaby also showed their own specialties in training. Compared with Diaby's
Cheerful and playful, Adebayor seemed a little dull in training, but overall, the performance of these four newcomers on the first day made the Arsenal players shine.
