Jagged Wings

Chapter 144 New season!New shooter!
At nine o'clock in the morning, Reyes had finished washing and stretched himself on the steps of the wooden house.The rising sun shines on North London as warm as butter on bread.

Although London is known as the "fog city", it is not an abyss and valley where the sun is not seen all year round. London in July and August is the season with the least rain in the year, and even the gloomy weather all day long is gone!

Flocks of pigeons occasionally fly by in the blue sky, and the green hills in the distance are still shrouded in the thin morning mist, making it difficult to see clearly. All this is like a quiet and beautiful oil painting.

London, a thousand-year-old European city, is also very artistic.

Reyes took a deep breath of the morning air, as if it really smelled of milk.

He looked out to the street through the low fence, only a few tourists with backpacks were occasionally taking pictures of the scenery with their cameras.The beginning of August is still the summer tourism period, until every weekend in September, the leisurely tourists on this street will be replaced by enthusiastic fans singing!

He closed his eyes and stretched intoxicated.

A beautiful morning and the start of a new season!
Although they have experienced the World Cup, Arsenal's official game this season started very early.

On August 8th, they will play the first game of the UEFA Champions League qualifying match, away to challenge the Croatian powerhouse Dinamo Zagreb!
Although Dinamo Zagreb is located on the fringes of the center of European football, if you underestimate him because of this, you will suffer a big loss!
The home of Dinamo Zagreb is called the Maximir Stadium, which is a famous stadium!In the west stand of the stadium, there is a bronze statue cast to commemorate the Dynamo fans who died in the war in the early 90s.The "Bad Blue Boys", a core fan of the Dynamo team belonging to the Democratic Union Party led by Tudjman, respected the statue as "an altar for these Croatian heroes who always have a blue heart".

It is generally believed that a fan clash at a Yugoslav league match at Zagreb's home Maximir Stadium in 1990 culminated in the full-blown Yugoslav civil war when the "Bad Blue Boys" and a gang of die-hard Red Star Belgrade fans " Great boy" had a serious conflict.Then Dinamo captain Zvominiel Boban became a national hero when he kicked down a Serb policeman who was beating a Croat fan.

Maximilian is known as one of the most unfriendly stadiums in the Balkans, and their fans are the most fearless of fighting.Even those famous football hooligans have to weigh themselves when they come.

And the strength of the team is not so mediocre. Except for the captain German central defender Jans Nowotny, the entire Dynamo team is building the team around the 21-year-old midfielder Luka Modric. Their formation is a more defensive 4-3-2-1 formation, with the extremely talented Brazilian Edeldo da Silva as the lone arrow.

On the other hand, for Arsenal, Rosicky and teenager Theo Walcott had just recovered from their injuries and could not play. Gunner Henry was also arranged by FIFA for an international football friendly match between France and Bosnia and Herzegovina that Wenger thought was "inexplicable". I have been recruited, and I can't count on it for the time being.

Campbell moved up the defense, and newcomer Gallas came. Wenger had no choice but to let Flamini, who played left back for half a season last season, play a guest role!

On the front line, the two "golden boy combinations" of Torres and Van Persie appeared, and Reyes undoubtedly appeared in the position of left midfielder.

Just before the game, the media advocated that the combination of "Torres + Van Persie" is definitely the combination of the most promising new stars in Europe. The two of them will be the golden striker partners of the Gunners for the next ten years...

However, the facts are always contrary to people's expectations.

The pairing of Torres and Van Persie is not as invincible as people think. In fact, due to the similar style and characteristics, it is not a wise decision to make them two partners. The two who cannot complement each other always do their own things and seldom cooperate.

Van Persie was a bit independent when he played football, and he regarded Torres as a competitor. In order to prevent the opponent from getting a chance to perform, he did not pass the ball to him, so he would always take a long shot when the ball was close to the penalty area, or the ball Get saved, or not even touch the door frame.And Torres could only stay in the penalty area, watching Van Persie squandering the few opportunities time and time again and shaking his head!
The striker is not strong enough, the midfielder must stand up!

Although the striker has new teammates, the four midfielders Reyes, Fabregas, Hleb, and Gilberto were the main players last season, and they are very familiar with their habits!
After Gilberto broke the ball from Modric's feet, he passed it to Fabregas!Fabregas took the ball and looked forward. Torres and Van Persie each pulled a defender and raised their hands for the ball!
"No one moved to open the gap, and both of them raised their hands to ask for the ball!"

Fabregas glanced ahead, causing others to look here, and then suddenly made a diagonal pass, looking for Reyes on the wing!

Fans in the stands burst into whistles and cheers!

Xiaofa passed to Reyes, and then Reyes relied on his personal ability to create scoring opportunities. This was a common thing for gun fans last season.Reyes took the ball, even if he didn't score, every time he relied on his personal ability to tease the opponent's feat, he often became the talk of gun fans after dinner.

This time Reyes obviously won't let everyone down!
Reyes was advancing from the wing, and the opponent sent two players to defend him. They knew that Reyes was fast and skilled, so they just blocked the position and did not let Reyes have the opportunity to cut inside.As for Reyes choosing to cross - that is the responsibility of the central defender!
But is two defenses and one enough?

Reyes sneered, and suddenly knocked the ball back, trying to change direction.When the two defensive players turned their center of gravity at the same time, Reyes suddenly poked the ball forward, and his body slipped through the narrow gap between them like a civet cat!

The defensive player knew it was going to be bad, and subconsciously reached out to pull Reyes' jersey, but the tentacles were all air!

Reyes, who got up to speed, quickly entered the penalty area, and the central defender in the penalty area hurriedly defended. He knew that Reyes had entered the shooting range.But Reyes did not choose to shoot, but chose Torres who crossed the middle.

Compared with him, Torres needs this goal more!
Torres received the ball and was facing the defense of another central defender, Nowotny. He pulled his right foot to the side, and Nowotny followed suit. Unexpectedly, Torres made another dunk with his right foot, and his left foot followed suit. With a swipe to the left, Nowotny was just passed by him!
The gun fans who followed the Gunners from afar in the stands applauded their new center for playing with the opponent's captain with excellent foot skills!Just two pull-downs in the penalty area have already won many fans for Torres!
1: 0!

Torres did not disappoint the fans. He made a free kick and shot the ball into the goal that was close at hand. Dynamo's goalkeeper couldn't react in time and watched the football fly into the goal!

"goooooooooooooal! The first ball! Made in Spain! From Cesc Fabregas' pass to Reyes' dribble to Torres' goal, the Spaniard was involved in all the processes of this goal from entering the factory to consumption, the professor told us Moved half of the World Cup runner-up Spain's offensive system!"

This goal was like a needle, and Dinamo Zagreb, who had been as tough as a mountain, suddenly seemed like a balloon that had been punctured-discouraged!

In the next game, Arsenal's away game was full of momentum. Reyes and Flamini made a clever cooperation on the left, and then Flamini also scored his first goal!
Cesc Fabregas, who was selected as the best 11-man in the World Cup, was also unwilling to lag behind. Before the end, he used a ground-breaking long shot to draw a break for the game!

3: 0!

In the first game of the new season, Arsenal announced the start of the younger generation of Gunners with a big victory and an absolute advantage on the scene. This is not a peace agreement, but a demonstration to the giants!
Arsenal is here!
The UEFA Champions League qualifiers started very early, much earlier than the start of the five major leagues, so they received much more attention!

These two seasons are definitely painful periods for Arsenal. Although they won the Champions League, the players in the team are old and young, and the age structure shows a "fault" phenomenon.Except for the 30-year-old Henry and the 20-year-old Cesc Fabregas, there are almost no people who are 25 or six years old.

So just when the outside world thought that Arsenal would definitely be a period of metabolism this season, the Gunners proved with an outstanding performance that the new generation of Gunners has already provoked the mainstay!
Reyes, Fabregas, Walcott, Clichy, Eboue... These young players have emerged since last season, and this season is their time to shine!

This lineup is not only about young players, but the role of veteran players is also very obvious!As a spiritual leader, Henry can also attack the team on the field; midfielder Gilberto is a black and hard stubble, and with him in Arsenal's back line, there is a guarantee!
"The Times" believes that with last season's Champions League champion, the Gunners have shed their "pseudo-rich" hats and become truly confident and confident!This is where the new Gunners are very different from the old Gunners. The old Gunners have won all the championships except the Champions League, while the new Gunners have just won the championship that the old Gunners have been chasing for a lifetime in their first season. thing.This Champions League champion is a reward for the old gunners and an encouragement for the new gunners!

The well-known tabloid "The Sun" is based on the fact that it does not know which "insider" in Arsenal, such as grocery shopping or sweeping the field, rumored that Arsenal's goal this season is to lose two players. Premier League Champions of the season!
According to the analysis of the authoritative media "Sky Sports", while Chelsea Mourinho has encountered a crisis of confidence and Manchester United's two veterans have aged, the new Arsenal will definitely set off a "gunner storm" at the new Emirates Stadium.This youthful and beautifully coordinated Arsenal will surely become the biggest nightmare for European teams.

Of course, there are also those who throw cold water.The media in Catalonia are worried about being stolen by Arsenal in the Champions League final, and the rise of supernova Messi and Iniesta's strong performance in the World Cup also let them see the future of Camp Nou backbone.

"The new Arsenal dynasty? Let's ask Barcelona if they agree!" The Catalan was full of arrogance!
Of course, the praise and criticism from the outside world has no effect on Arsenal. Arsenal, which announced the closure of the team's transfer window early, will no longer be involved in the transfer tide, and they will concentrate on preparing for the new season!

Compared with fighting with their mouths, the young Arsenal prefer to speak with actions!

The way for a center forward to prove himself is very simple. If you score a goal, it means you can do it, or you can’t do it; if you don’t score a goal, you can’t do it.Torres scored goals, so he was embraced by his teammates and fans.Coupled with the cheerful personality of the Spaniard himself, he also has many good friends in the team for a while!

Of course, except for Van Persie and Adebayor.Needless to say about Van Persie, although Adebayor has a tight head, he can see that Van Persie is Wenger's son. Torres is so loved now, so his chances of playing Adebayor are probably also Not much more.

Thinking of this, Adebayor's face suddenly turned black. Fortunately, he is black, so everyone can't tell~!

The new season of the Premier League started very early. On August 8, when Real Madrid was still arguing with Manchester United over Ronaldo, the 19-2006 season of the Premier League had already kicked off!
In order to promote the Premier League, the FA specially produced a short film of more than 10 minutes for the new season of the Premier League. The wonderful performances of last season's influential figures including Mourinho, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Reyes, Henry and others are all included Inside, and the final theme of the picture is Reyes' breakthrough on the left and Ronaldo's performance on the right.

It is also obvious that in the new Premier League season, the duel between Ronaldo and Reyes will become the main theme of the Premier League this season!
After the baptism of the World Cup, Ronaldo's growth is obvious to all.Although many people still have doubts about him, more and more people have seen his potential, his growth potential and... his commercial value!
After the acquisition of Reyes hit the rocks, Calderon did not stop there, and Real Madrid turned to Ronaldo, who is as famous as Reyes.However, Real Madrid and Manchester United have not reached an agreement on the transfer price, and Ronaldo's attitude has always been ambiguous under Ferguson's efforts.

In this case, Arsenal sits at the Emirates Stadium, the new home stadium, and ushered in the first opponent in the official game of the Emirates Stadium-Aston Villa!

Villa lingered near the relegation zone for a long time last season. This season, they challenged Arsenal in their first away game. Villa has not taken three points at Arsenal's home court for 13 years. Villa vowed to make Arsenal's new stadium suffer its first defeat!
