Chapter 21: Before the Game 2

[2005] Chapter 22 Departure

----------

Early the next morning, Xiao Ge got up at the urging of his mother. Yesterday, Xiao Ge didn't have Knightley by his side. After enjoying a night of warm and fragrant soft jade, Xiao Ge actually had some insomnia. In addition, he had been with Emma earlier.

We chatted and didn't fall asleep until after twelve o'clock.

After Xiao Ge arrived home yesterday, Xiao Ya was still shocked. Thinking of Knightley's words, she told her mother about herself and Knightley.

However, to Xiao Ge's surprise, his mother didn't blame him at all and just said that he would bring it back to have a look after the game. This made Xiao Ge, who thought he was going to be scolded, very excited.

Xiao Ya wanted to scold Xiao Ge for Emma, ​​but when she thought about the competition tomorrow, she didn't blame him and didn't want to put pressure on him.

But all this has passed, and now Xiao Ge has to rush to Highbury to meet with the club and go to Wales to participate in the game that starts at 3 p.m.

When I arrived at Highbury, I saw a large number of fans gathered around the stadium, shouting "We want the championship"

"Blow Chelsea"

“We are the representatives of London”

Only then did Xiao Ge realize that shouting slogans is not the exclusive property of one country, but is practiced all over the world.

Xiao Ge just greeted the fans around him, ignored the reporters on the side, and rushed to the stadium quickly.

When he arrived at the team's locker room, he found that his teammates had almost arrived, and all the important players were also there. However, Xiao Ge saw that Van Persie was in a bad mood, as if someone owed him money. The same was true for Wenger.

The frown on his face was more serious than in the past few days, and Ljungberg also looked a bit wrong.

After a while, Pat nodded to Wenger and signaled that all the players had arrived. Wenger said: "Okay, now I announce the list of eighteen players: Thierry, Robert, Cesc, Jens,

Xiao, Robin, Pav, Justin, Gilberto, Flamini, Almunia, Senderos, Ashley, Toure, Xigan, Dennis, Eboue, En...

Frey, let's go out."

Wenger hesitated when he finally called out Ljungberg, but still included him in the squad.

The Arsenal players, led by Wenger, headed for the bus outside the stadium. Along the way, there were many reporters who wanted to interview them, but they were all blocked by club officials.

There were also surrounding Arsenal fans chanting slogans such as "The championship belongs to us" and "London belongs to us" as they escorted the team away.

At 7:50, the team bus left Highbury and headed towards Wales. Some fans also followed the team to Wales. After all, today is the weekend and they have plenty of time if they are not at work, not to mention this is a game.

A championship match between powerful players.

Along the way, as the car drove forward, Xiao Ge felt a little nervous inexplicably. Maybe at this time, he had completely replaced the unlucky Xiao Weir. Some parts of his body were controlled by himself, so this body in the past

All the games he participated in became information that had nothing to do with him, just like what he saw on TV. No experience could allow him to reduce the pressure before the war. Even all the games this body participated in were irrelevant.

Participation is not as important as this game, and Will clearly remembers that Arsenal lost 1-2 in this game, thus starting a five-year embarrassing history of losing all four teams.

Moreover, before his rebirth, Xiao Ge was just an unknown boy, but now he is likely to compete with the best stars in the world, and is stared at by millions of pairs of eyes. His every move is likely to be captured by TV cameras and magnified.

In front of the world. To Xiao Ge, an otaku by the standards of the previous world, these are like a huge shadow surrounding him.

Fabregas, who was next to him, saw that Xiao Ge had not spoken since he got into the car, and his face even turned pale, with a trace of worry in his eyes. He patted Xiao Ge on the shoulder and said: "Xiao, what's wrong, are you okay?

"

Xiao Ge turned around and saw Fabregas looking at him with a worried look on his face. He forced a smile and said, "It's okay, Cesc, I'm just a little nervous. Thank you."

Henry was sitting in the aisle next to Xiao Ge. He also noticed the abnormality of Xiao Wei. After hearing Xiao Ge's words, he knew that Xiao Ge was under too much pressure and may have too high expectations for himself. Henry stood up and faced

Fabregas said: "Cesque, sit over here and I'll talk to Xiao."

After all, Fabregas had little experience and didn't know how to comfort Xiao Ge. Hearing Henry's words, he quickly stood up and changed seats with Henry, patting Xiao Wei on the shoulder.

Henry sat next to Xiao Ge, saw Xiao Ge's somewhat embarrassed expression, and said with a smile: "What's the matter? Xiao, you are only seventeen years old. The first official game of the first team is this kind of game. It is inevitable. In fact, there are many

The situation is all the result of my own imagination. I still remember the 1998 World Cup. I was already 21 years old, but I still didn’t dare to look when my teammates were taking penalty kicks. I even doubted whether I could do it. But when I walked to the penalty spot

At that moment, I calmed down, made the free throw, and sent the Italian team home. At that time, I told myself that I was a player, a forward, and my task was to take free throws. Everything else had nothing to do with me. I didn’t

To think about anything, just follow the usual training, run-up, shoot, it’s as simple as that. I don’t expect myself to perform exceptionally, because after all the hard work I have spent, I can finally get those gains, so Xiao, anyone can

Seeing your efforts and your progress, just think about your training. When you get to the court, you will find that everything is so natural for you, without any difficulties. You will find that the ball is the same as when you were training.

, as long as you think about the rolling ball."

When Xiao Ge heard Henry's comforting words, he slowly calmed down from his wild thoughts. Yes, he had died once. What experience could be more terrifying than this? Not to mention that he also had physical skills to enhance his physical support.

There is nothing that can be difficult for me, it’s just a football. I’m not the same as being played around by myself. I haven’t proven myself in training. There is no need to doubt myself.

Henry watched Xiao Ge slowly recover and saw the handsome smile of the past again. Knowing that he had figured it out, he couldn't help but feel relieved. Henry had always regarded Xiao Ge as his little brother.

Song joined the team at the age of eleven and trained with the people in the team. In the past, "Will" had been pestering Henry and several big guys in the team, asking them to guide him. Basically, Xiao. Will's football career was

He was deeply influenced by several people.

Xiao Ge has made rapid progress this season, and Henry is also very happy. The failure of last season made him long for someone to help him in the frontcourt. Just like Bergkamp before, Van Persie's growth is too slow.

Now, with the rise of Xiao Ge, Henry once again sees hope.

Xiao Ge looked at Henry, who was like an elder brother, and said sincerely: "Thank you, Thierry, you are a good captain."

"Haha, kid, when did you become so polite? This is not what you usually do with such a thick skin." Henry looked at Xiao Ge jokingly.

All the team members who were paying attention to Xiao Ge burst out laughing when they heard Henry's words.

Wenger was very happy when he saw the disciples below being so harmonious. Especially when he saw Henry taking the initiative to take on the responsibility of captain, Wenger was relieved. Wenger had always been worried that Henry, who was somewhat boring, would not be able to do well.

This is the responsibility of the captain. Now seeing such a scene, I feel relieved.

After nearly four hours of driving, Arsenal's bus finally arrived at the four-star hotel where they were staying, which is only ten minutes' drive from Cardiff's Millennium Stadium.

The team members were very tired after a four-hour journey. They each carried their own luggage and entered the hotel under the guidance of security guards. They simply said hello to the fans around them.

Xiao Ge was with Fabregas and Van Persie who looked murderous. At this time, Hleb suddenly came forward and said: "Hey, Xiao, actually I was also very nervous in my first first-team game. I even remember that I was so nervous."

I had to go to the bathroom from time to time, but when I got on the court, I realized that the feeling of the game was wonderful, and I think you can feel it too."

Everyone was made to laugh by Hleb's funny story, including Robin van Persie, who had a sullen face from the beginning.

Xiao Ge looked at the blushing Hleb with great gratitude and said, "Pav, thank you very much, but I think I'm much better. I just want to laugh, haha."

Hleb looked at the unloyal Xiao Ge and said with some emotion: "It seems that the captain is right, Xiao, you are so thick-skinned, haha." He couldn't help but feel happy as he said that.

The players walking in the hall got on the elevator amidst laughter and laughter, which made reporters outside who didn't know the truth think that Wenger had given them some kind of medicine.
