Jagged Wings

Chapter 50 The Butterfly Effect of Reyes Traveling

A few days later, in the third round of the Premier League, Arsenal defeated visiting Fulham 4:1 at home.

Cesc Fabregas performed very well. His long pass is sharp and his defense is solid. He has already had the shadow of Vieira. Compared with Vieira, Fabregas' position is closer to the penalty area and he can create more opportunities.He completely dominated the midfield during the game and contributed two assists.

Even better news came. Two days later, Wenger held a press conference and announced that the team had bought star Jenas from Newcastle at a price of £700 million plus Bentley.

Jenas stood aside, holding up an Arsenal shirt with Wenger, smiling.

In fact, he was beating drums in his heart. He thought that he had sent a red card to Arsenal. How should the Arsenal players think of themselves?
After the press conference, Wenger took Jenas to meet the Arsenal players.

"Jermaine Jenas, from Newcastle! I believe everyone is familiar with it? We just played against each other just two rounds ago!" Wenger smiled and introduced the new members.

"Hey, Jenas, I want to tell you something!" Reyes stood up: "The action you got the red card in that game is so cool! It's really unbelievable, I believe it is the most Violent players are coming, and I will give you a thumbs up for this action!"

Jenas couldn't laugh or cry: This is a compliment...

Gilberto refused: "Hey, Antonio, that's my ankle, okay?"

Jenas quickly waved his hand: "I really didn't mean it at the time..."

"Aww, I see!" Cole jumped up and interrupted him: "You knew you were coming to Arsenal a long time ago, so you deliberately kicked the player overlapping with your position, so that you can occupy It's the main position, right?"

Everyone Waterfall Khan: This Cole is too direct...

Jenas was sweating profusely: "No, no..."

At that time, he thought he was going to join Tottenham. Facing Tottenham's mortal enemy, of course he couldn't keep his hand.So Jenas' red card at the time, on the contrary, made Tottenham fans more fond of him, while the Arsenal fans on the other side had already sprayed Jenas to pieces.

Now Jenas abandons Tottenham and comes to Arsenal. Tottenham fans are very angry at this "betrayal" behavior, and Arsenal fans also have no good looks at Jenas.

Jenas has offended the North London fans all over the place and he knows he's in a bad spot.

Senderos on the side looked at the embarrassed Jenas, and suddenly felt a sense of sympathy. Once upon a time, he was in such a position...

"Hey, Ashley, don't scare the kids!" Reyes dismissed Cole: "Don't worry, we are a family here, and we will be brothers in the future."

After this farce, Jenas's nervous heart was relieved, and then captain Henry introduced his teammates to Jenas one by one.

**********
This stage of the game is over, and the 2006 Germany World Cup qualifiers will start again. This is the penultimate round, and Spain will play against Serbia and Montenegro, which ranks first in this group.

Before this game, Spain ranked second in the group with a 2-point disadvantage.Because only the first in the group can appear, this game can be called a battle of life and death.

Aragones attaches great importance to it, and has also recruited Reyes, who has been in good form recently, into the national team. The Spanish national team has been updated in recent years. It is slowly saying goodbye to this stage.

Although selected for the national team, Vicente is still on the left side of Spain. He and Joaquin on the right side are called Spain's "golden wings".

The first half was very stalemate between the two sides, but after only a few minutes, Vicente fell to the ground in a fight.The team doctor checked his injuries and made a "substitution" gesture to the audience. Vicente couldn't hold on to the game anymore.

Aragones waved the flag and Reyes came on, replacing Vicente.

After Reyes played, his good friend Torres ran over: "Antonio, what instructions does the coach have?"

"Attack! Hit hard!" Reyes said.

"Haha! I like it, don't forget to pass the ball to me!" Torres patted Reyes on the shoulder.

The 21-year-old Torres is now the captain of Atletico Madrid, and it is said that many teams, including Real Madrid, are very interested in the main center of Spanish football for the next decade.

After Reyes came on the field, his speed made Serbia and Montenegro's right back very uncomfortable, and they could only stop him by fouling.

But Reyes has been fighting against the Premier League defenders for a long time, and he already knows what to do. He poked the ball, then suddenly accelerated and waded past the opponent.

Then a bottom cross.

Raul jumped forward, but was interfered by the opponent, and the football flew over.But Torres came on like lightning and headed the ball in before the keeper.

1:0
Spain takes the lead!
Serbia and Montenegro, which were behind, strengthened their defense, and Reyes did not get a good chance, but Spain's performance was getting better and better.In the end, with Torres's goal, Spain defeated Serbia and Montenegro.With one round left in the group stage, they overtook the score again.

In view of the fact that Spain's opponent in the next game is San Marino, which has a large belly, Spain has already locked in a World Cup seat.Serbia and Montenegro, who lost this game, will have to participate in the play-offs.

************
On the eve of this game, Arsenal once again spread the transfer news: Arsenal's champion left midfielder Pires moved to the La Liga team Villarreal for a price of 1000 million euros.

Reyes looked at the news and thought of four words: Butterfly Effect.

In real history, Pires has always been Arsenal's left-sided candidate, and he will move to Villarreal in the 2005-2006 season.But with the emergence of a "time-travel version" of Reyes, the real history has changed.Reyes' position was originally a forward, but after crossing, he performed better and better on the left side, occupying the starting position of the left winger.

And what about Pires?On the one hand, his contract is about to expire, and he and Wenger have disagreements on the contract. The French veteran hopes to be able to deal with the gun for about two years.However, the head coach Wenger has long been known for his indifference to players over the age of 30. Even if he is a fellow, he still insists on signing once a year.

On the other hand, the 32-year-old Pires' state and body have declined greatly.In the second half of last season, he already showed his inability to do what he wanted due to the decline in physical fitness.When he was on the field, the Gunners' left side basically did not break through, did not cooperate, and did not make the opponent feel frightened. The 32-year-old Pires can no longer let him do those 30-meter reciprocating sprints. He no longer has the passion of young people.

Last season, Reyes performed very well on the left, which allowed Pires to spend time on the bench, which accelerated Pires' departure.

This season, Arsenal introduced Hleb who can play wide, and Van Persie can also play left winger, so Pires' living space is even more oppressed.

Pires' departure is also a matter of course.

At the same time, Arsenal also announced the closure of the transfer market, and they have completed their signings this season.In the striker position, besides Henry, Van Persie and Bergkamp, ​​the teenager Abeye will serve as the team's fourth striker. His perfect performance in the World Youth Championship allowed him to gain a foothold in the first team.

Next into September, Arsenal ushered in the UEFA Champions League group stage.Because they ranked second in the league last season, Arsenal directly advanced to the Champions League. In the Champions League grouping, Arsenal and Ajax of the Netherlands, Thun of Switzerland, and Braxbad of the Czech Republic.

Among them, except for Ajax, the other two teams are soy sauce teams every year. It can be said that as long as there are no accidents, Arsenal has definitely won a qualifying spot.

So Arsenal in Switzerland took this away trip as a vacation. Everyone talked and laughed on the plane, just like traveling.Even Wenger chatted with the assistant coach with a relaxed face, instead of thinking about the game.

The only thing he wants to think about may be to win a few goals away from home.

So when the first half of the game ended, Van Persie kicked his opponent in the face in the front court and was sent off by the referee, the smile on Wenger's face froze.
