Jagged Wings

Chapter 49

Could it be that they are cultivating the plank road in the open and keeping the warehouse in secret?

Many journalists lurking in Twitter seemed to be sharks who smelled fishy, ​​and each of them got active to inquire about this matter, or started to hype it.

But this upsurge did not last for a few days, and the reporters discovered that this time they shaved their heads and picked them up.Both Jenas' agent, Arsenal Club and Newcastle Club denied this possibility, and they all answered that there was no contact.

Instead, Tottenham are getting closer and closer to Jenas.

Under such circumstances, the first round of the 2005-2006 Premier League season began, and Arsenal's opponent in the first round was Newcastle.

Because the foreign aid in the midfield did not integrate well into the team, Jenas, who was on the cusp of the storm, still started.

On the Arsenal side, Gilberto replaced Flamini as the starter, and new aid Hleb was on the bench.On the forward line, Bergkamp replaced Van Persie in the starting position.

Just at the beginning, Janus created a murderous intention.

In the 17th minute, Janus made a straight pass from the right. Shearer broke into the penalty area and shot obliquely from the right.

"Exquisite pass, Janus has shown a good state, playing Arsenal so vigorously, is he thinking of himself as a Tottenham man in advance? Or is he trying to please the Tottenham fans?"

Newcastle's midfield lacked tacit understanding, but Gilberto's performance on Arsenal's side was much more mature than Flamini's. Halfway through the first half, Arsenal gradually controlled the situation on the field.

Newcastle shrunk their defense, and their attempt to score a point in the away game was obvious.Although Arsenal lost to Chelsea in the league championship competition last season, their goals are still the first among all teams in the Premier League.

With Henry around, anything is possible.

In the second half of the game, Arsenal, who were unable to attack hard, showed an opening. Reyes passed the ball to Gilberto. Gilberto turned around and wanted to pass it to Xiaofa, but he did not expect that Jenas ran behind him and suddenly poked the ball. gone.

"When did this kid come here?" Gilberto's eyes widened. Before he caught the ball just now, he noticed that there was no opponent's player within ten meters of his body.

After stealing the ball, Jenas was very straightforward, and he picked the ball forward and gave it to Shearer.Shearer leaned on Senderos and handed the ball to teenager Milner.Milner was very fast, and while Shearer blocked Senderos, he got into the penalty area like a loach.Then the fake shot really dunked the goalkeeper Lehmann and scored the ball into the goal.

1:0
Newcastle actually ahead?
Reyes didn't expect the team to lose points so quickly, but it didn't affect his mentality.Anyway, there is still a lot of time, just get back one more time.But he noticed that Jenas learned a series of actions, from stealing the ball to passing through, Jenas did it in one go, showing good awareness and ability.

Maybe he is really suitable for Arsenal?
Reyes suddenly thought of that tweet, and this time, he was really thinking about it.

He glanced at the sidelines, where Wenger was wondering what he was thinking.

Arsenal, who had lost the ball, pressed heavily, while Newcastle retreated in an all-round way, allowing Arsenal to bombard indiscriminately.

Reyes got the ball and ran forward, Cole came in from behind, and Newcastle's right back followed; Fabio tried to come up to meet him, but the Newcastle midfielder stuck him very close.

Hey, do you think this will stop me?
You've got everyone on your radar, but can't I carry the ball myself?
Reyes took the ball to the middle and cut inside!
He easily passed a defender, but the kick was a bit too big, and then when the next defender came up, he dunked the ball to the other side, and then suddenly crossed.

Henry headed the ball, but the goalkeeper was well positioned and saved the ball, but the football didn't fly very far.Then a red figure suddenly popped out of the crowd and headed the ball into the goal.

1: 1!

"It's Ljungberg! Ljungberg scored!"

"When all the attention was on Henry and Bergkamp, ​​Ljungberg stepped up and saved Arsenal!"

After Ljungberg's goal, Arsenal's morale was boosted, and the offensive was raging for a while.The shortcomings of Newcastle's lack of running-in and lack of tacit understanding have also been exposed, and there are loopholes everywhere on the court.

Newxle has no interest in fighting, but Jenas is still full of fighting spirit, running on the field to call his teammates to fight back.

His teammates rarely responded to him, which made Jenas look very lonely on the field, like a hero at the end of his life.There are always strangers to heroes. After stealing the midfielder, Gilberto intends to go straight to Henry to form a single.Jenas had no choice but to put him down. The referee did not hesitate to give him a red card and sent him off the field.

Jenas, who was off the court, held his head high and looked like he still refused to admit defeat.

The last fighting spirit went down, and the Newcastle team never organized an effective counterattack.

Before the end, Van Persie scored a goal to help Arsenal take the lead, and the score lasted until the end.

Arsenal made a difficult start to the new season 2:1.

"Honestly speaking, his performance today touched me very much. It made me see the shadow of Vieira. I hope to be his teammate." When interviewed after the game, Reyes talked eloquently, and he did not shy away from his opinion of Vieira. Appreciation of Jenas.

"But it is said that it is Real Madrid's Guti who has been rumored to have an affair with Arsenal recently?" the reporter asked.

"Guti is a very good player, but it depends on the coach." Reyes kicked the ball back to Wenger.

At the subsequent press conference, a reporter asked about this matter, Wenger denied that he did not think Arsenal needed Guti.

"So you're not going to bring in a new midfielder?"

Wenger smiled mysteriously: "It's a secret."

What no one knew was that Wenger called Newcastle coach Souness that night.

There is still half a month before the transfer window closes, and the major clubs are rushing to prepare for the final transfer.

And when Wenger denied the possibility of Guti, the whole world was confused.

Under such circumstances, in the second round of the league, Arsenal challenged Chelsea away.In the midfield, Cesc Fabregas and Gilberto started together, with Fabregas as the main attacker and Gilberto as the main defender. Arsenal are a level behind Chelsea in terms of midfield strength.

And Chelsea's several new foreign players integrated into the team very quickly, and Chelsea, who are playing at home, seem to have a tacit understanding.In the end, Arsenal lost 0:1 to Chelsea in the away game, with one win and one loss in the two league rounds.

The match was very stalemate, and the biggest highlight was Xiaofa's sudden emergence, which was different from the mediocre first round.In this game, Xiaofa fully demonstrated the potential of a world-class midfielder: block, tackle, long pass, short pass, dribble... everything, in the confrontation with a world-class midfielder like Makelele In the middle, there is no downfall at all.

If it wasn't for Lauren's mistake that gave Wright a chance to break through, the result might not be certain.

After this game, the voices of criticism against Arsenal were much lower, and the pressure on Wenger was finally reduced.

After the game, Wenger praised Xiaofa's perfect performance: "He is fully capable of becoming the World Footballer. I have known since he was 14 years old that he can play world-class football, and Arsenal is this stage."

For Xiaofa, Wenger did not hesitate to praise the words.

****************
"What? You want more money?" In the Tottenham coach's office, Joel yelled into the phone angrily: "Didn't you agree on the transfer fee of 700 million pounds for Jenas at the beginning? Arsenal made an offer, that stingy Frenchman? How much does he pay?"

Joel is very angry. If the anger can be realized, I believe that the entire Highbury Stadium will not be able to accommodate Joel's anger.Originally, Tottenham had negotiated a transfer fee of 700 million pounds with Newcastle for the transfer of Jenas.This matter has been verbally agreed, and the contract is signed.

Jenas performed well against Arsenal, and there is also a reason to perform for the fans of his new club.

However, Jenas, who performed well, attracted the attention of Arsenal, which lacked a midfielder. Arsenal, who failed to pursue Baptista, turned their attention to Jenas.

"How much do they offer?" An angry Joel planned to see what price Arsenal offered to snatch his prey away.

"Seven million pounds, plus Bentley, the overall value adds up to 700 million pounds."

"Much more than us." Joel said.

"There was £300 million of it, which he paid in 48 monthly instalments."

Joel spat out a mouthful of old blood: "He thought it was an FM game, and he still played the '48-month installment' Dafa?"
