"Xiao, I will change you in this game. You will definitely lose, just watch. ([]No pop-up window)"
Different from his previous introversion and calmness, when he saw Xiao Ge quietly bouncing the ball on the side of the court, Gerrard rarely provoked his opponent during the warm-up. His deep eyes were full of burning fighting spirit and he stared at Xiao Ge closely.
Song.
"Stephen, you know that I cannot lose and cannot lose. I am bound to win this game."
As if aroused by those warlike eyes, Xiao Ge also put away his peaceful smile, looked at Gerald meticulously, and responded firmly without giving in.
"I can't accept it, this is not what you should insist on, man, I will stop you at all costs."
Gerrard saw Xiao Ge's eyes that were as resolute as his own, and looked at each other for a while. Finally, Gerrard took the lead to break the silence, patted Xiao Ge on the shoulder, left a solemn sentence, and returned to his own team.
.
'Yeah'
Looking at Gerald's back without looking back, Xiao Ge's originally calm heart also felt a little agitated, and he couldn't help but tighten his hands. At this time, the fighting fire in the two people's hearts burned involuntarily - and spread.
"Hoo ho ho! Arsenal move forward!!!"
"Oh oh oh! Come on Liverpool!!!"
"Beat them, beat them—!"
"Destroy, destroy—!"
...
"Phew, it's really highly anticipated. Look at the entire stadium. It's already surrounded by fans from both sides. Look at this scene. I think the momentum will definitely make everyone excited. Look at these lovely fans.
God! I can't wait to roar."
"Sky Sports, ESPN, Italian National Radio, France 4..., dear fans, all the European sports stations you know are here. You can imagine how attractive this game is. My
Colleagues have almost filled the sidelines.”
...
The Millennium Stadium, which can accommodate more than 70,000 people, was already filled with Arsenal and Liverpool fans. Flags were flying in the sky, people were crowded in the stands, and huge roars erupted from time to time as the big screen flashed across each player.
, like the roar of thunder and lightning.
This strong showdown in the final also attracted a large number of media reporters. Even in the warm-up stage, the game was still flickering.
As the hottest team and the hottest player in the world at this time, they have no reason to let go of such a major matchup. They want to report immediately whether Arsenal can achieve the domestic quadruple crown and whether it can continue its season-long success.
Brilliant. At this time, Xiao Ge is the most famous player in the world. His popularity far exceeds the scope of sports. Any disturbance of his will definitely be the first focus of the media.
"Focus on it."
"Don't be distracted."
"Do what you have to do."
...
The arrival of nearly a hundred reporters did not distract Pat and Liverpool assistant coach Herrera in any way. They still meticulously urged their players to warm up and get the young people into the game as quickly as possible. They knew very well that they still had to
This is not the time to enjoy the spotlight, especially since Pat shouted almost every step he took. During the half-hour warm-up period, Pat's voice did not stop.
Wenger didn't need to speak. It was enough to just give some instructions to the players. Seeing Wenger's tall and thin figure appear. Arsenal's players were frightened. They didn't want to repeat Xiao Ge's four or five 10,000-meter long runs every day. Two
After three hours of extra practice, no one is that monster.
From reaching the Champions League final to now, Wenger has become more and more strict with the rules in the team. With his long-term leadership and the guarantee of results, Wenger's power is enough to suppress all the problems in the team.
The discordant voices left these champion members speechless, and no one dared to challenge the power of their boss.
"Okay, back to the locker room."
"Warm-up is over!"
"They're out!"
"The game is about to begin!"...
Wenger and Benitez greeted their players almost at the same time. The players of Arsenal and Liverpool returned to the dressing room one after another. The game time was getting closer and closer.
"Oh my God!"
"What's wrong with Stephen?"
"What does that gesture mean? Is it provocation?!"
"Incredible, incredible, what happened to Stephen and Xiao."
...
The camera followed the players towards the entrance of the locker room, ace versus ace, just like a script. Xiao Ge and Gerrard met unexpectedly. The two couldn't help but look at each other, and under the camera, Gerrard
Suddenly he stretched out his right index finger and shook it a few times in front of Xiao Ge. He raised his head high and his eyes were full of confidence and even more arrogance. This was an expression that Gerald had never seen before. Without waiting for Xiao Ge,
Song responded, turned around and left straight away.
"This guy is really stubborn, just look at it, haha." After understanding the determination in Gerald's eyes, Xiao Ge couldn't help but laugh out loud, lowered his head and disappeared into the passage with his teammates.
"What's going on? What's going on? This doesn't look like Stephen."
"Stephen is provoking, he is provoking!"
"What is Xiao laughing at? Is it disdain? Xiao disdains Stephen's provocation!"
"Damn you arrogant guy, Xiao will beat you!"
"Huhu, Liverpool will win. Our captain is going to show off his power. He is going to show off his power."
...
"Oh, my God, this game is getting more and more interesting. When did you see Stephen make this move?"
"It's unbelievable. What happened to these two people before the game?"
"Xiao didn't seem to care at all, but Stephen seemed unusually serious."
"Oh, Rush, I already have a feeling that this game will be a contest between the two of them."
...
"Xiao——blow them up! Blow them up!"
"Stephen—wound them into scrap! Wrench them into scrap!"
...
As Gerrard's provocative finger-wagging action was captured by the camera, the smoke of the upcoming war reached its peak in an instant. Roars, roars, restlessness, excitement,..., everything.
This moment was all pushed to the extreme, the stadium, the big screen, the commentary booth, the bar, the square..., after Gerrard made this move, all the nerves of the people paying attention to this game were pulled.
※
"..., don't let them have gaps on the wing, set up your defensive formation, and don't let them easily make short passes near the penalty area, remember. Keep an eye on your defensive targets,..., ok
, use all your strength and wear them out!!!"
"Stephen, your task in this game is to keep an eye on Xiao. I want you to treat him with a rugby attitude and let him hang on your eyelids. Don't let him get the ball, let him dribble, let him pass.
Don't let him hit the goal. Huh, this is very important for you, my captain. Do you understand?"
Benitez knew the position of his team very well, and defense was the first priority. After all the matters were explained, Benitez squatted directly next to Gerrard, who was repeatedly arranging his sneakers, and muttered like a broken man.
It was rare for the Spaniard to start roaring before the game, and even the veins on his brow were faintly exposed. For him, coming to Liverpool was a test. The turmoil off the field, the intensity of the games, the fierce competition and the strength of the opponents were all factors.
, making this relatively young coach feel even more stressed and full of passion.
"Um"
Gerrard pulled the shoelaces hard, which seemed to be both a promise and a boost. The determination in his deep eyes also doubled Benitez's confidence.
"....Keep the pressure on their backcourt, hold our ball, Cesc, Silva, you have to resist the opponent's sudden impact in the midfield,..., well, this is a game that belongs to
You compete!"
In the Arsenal dressing room, Wenger also emphasized his tactics, but he was not as excited as Benitez. The old man only talked about the game itself. As for morale, mentality and other aspects, he did not touch too much.
After one season, the experience has been experienced. Wenger believes that after his team regained the league championship after the life-and-death finals with Chelsea and Manchester United, his team has matured in temperament and transformed into a more perfect team.
Team, big games will never let them back down. Against Liverpool, who is aiming to rebuild, he believes that his team can definitely have the upper hand mentally, and higher goals will make his players more committed.
.
"Bah bang bang" "Let's go!"
"Hey, let's have a good game."
Wenger clapped his hands encouragingly at his players and let them play. Without too many surprises, Xiao Ge was the first player whose name was called, but Wenger asked him to stay at the end and hugged him.
Looking over Xiao Ge's shoulder, he saw him walking away sullenly with his head lowered, looking like a "little boy is scared", so he sighed helplessly, gave him an instruction, and let him go.
"Haha, don't worry, teacher, I promise you a comfortable holiday. You know, I want to..."
"He also said, I'm fine if you don't make me angry. Huh, stop talking nonsense. If you don't play a better game today, let's see how I deal with you. Paris won't be so easy to go to."
"No, it has nothing to do with this, and it was agreed upon."
"This is also a condition, Xiao, it's not that easy to convince me."
Seeing this big-headed disciple who looked like he could be as bright as the sun, Wenger became angry and glared at him. Seeing Xiao Ge's relaxed look, he added more chips.
"Ah? But what's the better game?"
Seeing that the old man didn't seem to be joking, Xiao Ge quickly asked. Knowing that the old man was stubborn and that the matter had touched his bottom line, it might not be that easy.
"I don't know about this either. Is it already perfect? Xiao?"
Wenger glanced at Xiao Ge and couldn't give an answer. He could only ask a question, but he took the lead to step out of the passage without waiting for Xiao Ge to answer the question.
"Is it really perfect?"
"Let's go, Xiao, enjoy your game."
"oh."
Seeing the dense wrinkles on Wenger's forehead when he turned around, and the tall and thin back leaving his sight, Xiao Ge fell into deep thought, but before Xiao Ge could speak, another sentence seemed to come from behind him in the quiet players' tunnel, Pat turned him
Awakening from a daze, I finally stepped into the Millennium Stadium. (To be continued...)
