Jagged Wings

Chapter 17 Counterattack Counterattack!

After scoring the goal, Reyes was very excited. He broke away from Henry who wanted to come up to hug him, and opened Gilberto with a flick of his hand and rushed to the stands!
To the cheering fans in the stands, he repeatedly shouted: "I'm back! I'm back! Did you see that?"

He clenched his hands into fists and waved his arms fiercely towards the stands.All the Arsenal fans in the stadium were waving his arms, pushing the cheers to a climax.

Don't you always say that my style of play is soft and I am afraid of getting hurt?

Don't you always say that I can't score goals?
Don't you always say that I can't play football if I leave Spain?

Okay, I'll make one today to shut you up!

In the stands, the boos of a few Bolton fans were completely covered by the cheers.

After yelling, Reyes turned back to the cameras on the sidelines, lifted his jersey, and a line of words was written on a white T-shirt under the jersey: "We need you, Dennis!"

The TV broadcast duly cut to Bergkamp on the bench.

"There are rumors that Bergkamp will retire after this season, and now it seems to be true!" The commentator said: "But with the scene of Reyes, I believe the Ice Prince will not be unmoved."

Amidst the cheers, the Arsenal players walked slowly back to the center circle as Bolton's team waited for them to take their places for their kick-off.

To be honest, although he was very excited after scoring the goal, when he broke through, he didn't think he had to score.He just saw Bergkamp on the sidelines, and he wanted to do something to save the heart of this veteran who is about to retire.

This T-shirt is what he made before the game.

"Thank you, Antonio!" Bergkamp hugged Reyes tightly and whispered in his ear.

The next game, Reyes' performance is getting better and better.It's like that sometimes in football, when you try so hard to do well, it doesn't work out, but when you keep your normal mind, it works out.

In the second half of the game, Bergkamp replaced Henry, who was tired from the recent campaign. At this time, Van Persie stepped up to the front line, while Bergkamp retreated and became a shadow forward.

Although the position is a shadow forward, the work done by the Dutchman is similar to that of the midfielder.

The 35-year-old Bergkamp is technically perfect.Even in Arsenal, which is known for its technical players, his skills are still outstanding.

Bergkamp took the ball in the middle, got rid of the three Bolton midfielders chasing and intercepting, and then sent a diagonal pass.

On the left side, Reyes is flying near the sideline like an airplane, and Konchesky completely has the upper hand in the speed competition.

Reyes put his left arm against Konchesky, and then he dribbled the ball forward.Gilberto ran over and wanted to cooperate with him, but Reyes stubbornly did not choose to pass the ball, but continued to dribble.

Bolton's central defender saw that Konchesky could not defend Reyes by himself, so he moved over himself, trying to pinch him back and forth.

There was a large space in the middle, and Van Persie ran to his position and raised his hand for the ball.He didn't shout out, afraid that the other party would notice him.

Reyes looked up, he saw the space behind the defender, but instead of passing the ball, he stretched out his arms and squeezed the pounced defender to his side.

Dealing with the chasing and interception of two people slowed down Reyes' speed, but the football was still under his feet.

"Hey, baby, give me the ball!" Konchesky's swear words mixed with injured little moves kept harassing Reyes.

Gilberto, Ljungberg and Van Persie all rushed into the penalty area, ready to meet Reyes.

But Reyes still didn't pass the ball!

Reyes led the two but was still moving forward, Bolton's midfielder ran up, ready for a three-person pincer attack, and broke Reyes' ball.

Into the restricted area!

Reyes exerted force on his waist and abdomen, and pushed back hard, pushing the two people marking him back slightly.Taking advantage of this slight opportunity, Reyes swung his left foot on the spot, swung it very quickly, and hit the football.

The football flew towards the goal like a cannonball. As soon as Bolton's goalkeeper raised his hands, the football had already rushed into the goal.

A brace!

"Oooh, beautiful goal! This is a Drogba-style goal! Such an outrageous and unreasonable goal has become the iconic goal of Warcraft Drogba this season, but in today's game, Reye Stan also scored a goal of pure strength. His way of showing us that Spanish players can be tough too!"

Speed ​​and strength will always inspire people's blood. Reyes' goal made the fans shout "Antonio, Antonio".

"You kid, you've started to have your own fans." Gilberto ran over, a little sour.

**********
When the game started again, the fighting spirit of Bolton's team had been crushed by Reyes' savage goal.At this time, they just want to go back to the locker room to lick their wounds.

But Arsenal didn't agree. After being aggrieved for so long, they were finally proud. How could they let this opportunity sneak away?
This time it was Reyes who charged into the middle and drew the defensive fire, with four Bolton players all pounced on Reyes.Bolton's left suddenly became a vacuum.

A red figure appeared on the sidewalk, and was plugging in at high speed.

Ashley Cole!

The England left-back calmly kicked from the side when no one was watching.

Everyone in Bolton panicked, and they rushed to the penalty area in a swarm.But the football drew an arc and flew into the penalty area.

Bergkamp appeared in front of the penalty area, unmarked!Facing the direction the football came from, he lightly hooked the ball with his right foot, and knocked the ball back with his heel.

The football went into the goal again!
4: 0!

Bergkamp, ​​who scored the goal, ran to Reyes excitedly and hugged him again: "I'm not going anymore, I'm with you."

"Hey! Hey!" Cole ran up: "Dennis, you hugged the wrong person. You are begging me to assist you. You should hug me!"

"Why so much nonsense?" Reyes reached out and pulled Cole over.

A few minutes later, Fabio received a direct pass from Bergkamp, ​​broke into the penalty area and sent the ball into the net again.

5: 0!

"Unfortunately for Bolton, they ran into Arsenal who bottomed out, so... the slaughter began!!"

Xiaofa, who scored the goal, ran to the stands, beat his chest hard, and yelled.

This season Vieira has been injured constantly, and Wenger boldly used the 17-year-old Xiaofa to start.This decision has been questioned by the outside world, and Xiaofa has been under a lot of pressure for this.The team performed poorly in the previous stage, and the outside world also brought him up to talk about it.

Xiaofa justified his attitude with his seasoned style of play and stable performance. Although he behaved very maturely, he is a 17-year-old kid after all. The goal scored in this game is also a kind of catharsis for him.

Bolton's performance this season is not bad, especially in away games they often have a very good performance.This is due to the brave and tough style of their multinational army.They were five goals behind and pressed hard, trying to score a goal at the last moment to save face.

It's Arsenal's fest, do you want to mess it up?
I don't think about it!

Almunia saved the opponent's shot, and then immediately threw the ball to attack.Fabregas received the ball, but the opponent's midfielder also forced up.Fabregas holds the ball with delicate technique and sells the backside to the opponent.Then he suddenly made a long diagonal pass and found Ljungberg who was advancing on the right.

Although he has been running for nearly 80 minutes, Ljungberg still does not lose the slightest speed.After getting the ball, he passed the opponent's defender with one kick and one acceleration.

He dribbled the ball from the wing, and the opponent's defenders also tried to defend from the center.No, in this case, they will definitely run to the restricted area before me!
Ljungberg made a judgment in an instant, and when he understood the situation, he did not hesitate to make a quick pass.

Van Persie jumped high in the middle, and the Bolton defenders who hurried back to the defense had to be led by Van Persie to jump up.

But the header has always been Van Persie's weakness, this football Van Persie did not hit it.

"Ljungberg crosses the middle, Van Persie jumps up, he's going for the header! - oops! He's over the top, he wasted a great chance, the ball is missed - back, Reyer S! gooooooooooooooooool!"

When the football was capped by Van Persie, Reyes appeared in the back like a ghost. No one knew when he rushed up.

Facing most of the empty goal, Reyes was not polite, and easily pushed the ball into the goal.

"Great hat-trick!"

After scoring the goal, Reyes did not have the arrogance of the first two goals. He turned around and ran over to hug Bergkamp, ​​who celebrated his goal.

"This hat trick is dedicated to you, Dennis!" Reyes whispered in Bergkamp's ear, and he hugged the elegant football prince so hard.

Bergkamp wanted to say something else, but the teammates who swooped up already suppressed his last words, and their ears were full of excited roars from his teammates.

Seeing the high morale of the players, Wenger on the sidelines also breathed a sigh of relief.The team's record is not good recently, and he has also been under a lot of pressure.But now the arrival of this big victory has completely relieved his pressure.

With the start of the second half of the season, the situation of winning the Premier League is also clear.In the standings, the top three of Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal have left the other teams far enough away.Chelsea's 8-game winning streak continues to lead No.7 Arsenal by 2 points, while No.3 Manchester United continues to put pressure on Arsenal by relying on the record of 13 wins and 11 draws in the last 2 rounds. They are only one point behind Arsenal.

The other good news is that although the "Ice Prince" Bergkamp, ​​who played for Arsenal, has recently heard rumors that he will retire this season, after this game, Bergkamp confirmed that he will not be playing for Arsenal. retired this season.

"Antonio said that he would dedicate this hat-trick to me, which moved me very much." Bergkamp is obviously a person who values ​​affection: "My body says OK to me, so I think you will still see it next season. Me, I love Arsenal! I love Highbury! Thank you!"

Many clubs have no shortage of players who are consistent and will die here.But "Zhengtaikong" Wenger is obviously not such a person. His handling of the veteran will be sold immediately once the opponent has passed his peak period, no matter how much he has contributed to Arsenal or his status.

Reyes clearly knows that Bergkamp is the last veteran to retire from Arsenal since Wenger coached Arsenal.
