Chapter 17 It's Outrageous
On August 21, 2010, the second round of the Premier League came.
While other major leagues still have not started all the games, this round of Premier League still attracted the attention of fans around the world.
At 1:00 p.m. local time, the bus carrying the entire Blackpool team finally drove into the streets of North London. The Arsenal fans gathered without hesitation to give them a grand boo, and immediately gave the other party a big warning.
Unlike other players who have been in the Premier League for many years, Blackpool players seem to have never seen such a big scene. The morale was hit in the first round before the car drove into the Emirates Stadium parking lot.
Then, at 1:30 p.m. local time, after the home team had already started to warm up on the sidelines, the away team players also entered the court.
The fans of Emirates Stadium filled the team's first home court in the league in the new season. According to statistics, more than 50,000 Arsenal fans entered the game to watch the game.
Compared with this huge number, the hundreds of visiting fans who went with Blackpool were submerged like small stones.
If the cameraman had not stubbornly swept the away team stands politely after sweeping the faces of home fans, people might have thought this was Arsenal's own exhibition game.
Under such a premise, the booing sound instantly buried the Blackpool players entering the field. The Premier League that each player on the away team had after a big victory turned into nothingness in an instant, and they were hit in the second round.
Compared with Arsenal team who was carefully warming up under Wenger's command on the other side of the court, Blackpool's morale is no longer the same level.
Fortunately, the two teams did not warm up for a long time. After the stadium and warm-up sessions were over, they returned to the locker room, which gave the visiting team members who were overwhelmed by the huge pressure on the Emirates Stadium a chance to breathe.
At the same time, the atmosphere in the Arsenal locker room is extremely relaxed and comfortable.
Wenger had finished the conversation and sat aside. The starting players were chatting with their teammates beside them. They felt in good condition during the warm-up and couldn't wait to perform in front of their fans again.
Liu Feng, sitting in a corner of the locker room, looked at the smiles from the heart on each player's face and thoughtful. He suddenly remembered the three years he had been in Piacenza. The first home game of each season began, and he and his teammates seemed to be looking forward to appearing like this.
The reason why the coach didn't make a big fuss before this game was obviously that before such a critical game, no player was willing to embarrass his fans.
Without saying much to the commander, the three armies will naturally use their lives. That's roughly what it means.
"Hello everyone, everyone, welcome to watch the 2010-2011 Premier League season Arsenal's home match against Blackpool. I am commentator Zhan Jun."
At 9:50 Beijing time, ten minutes left before the game started, CCTV finally connected the signal.
At this moment, after introducing himself seriously again, Zhan Jun quickly entered the state: "It can be seen that the players of both sides have already appeared with the referee group, and the one standing on the left is today's home team Arsenal."
"Arsenal! Arsenal! Arsenal!!!"
Arsenal in English read very smoothly. When the Gunners wearing home red and white jerseys walked into the stadium, the loud shouts and cheers made them feel the power of the fans.
Almost every player has someone calling his name. Even new players like Liu Feng and Koscheerney can vaguely hear the shouts of some Gunners fans who have begun to like them.
Of course, in addition to this, Liu Feng also has his own Chinese support team. In this game, it can be said that the Chinese in the entire London City will do their best to cheer for Liu Feng whenever they have the opportunity and conditions.
For a moment, Liu Feng, who saw the five-star red flag again, was also very excited. In a corner of the five-star red flag formation, a small but very different team flag from the Gunners and Blackpool flags made him feel even more excited.
It was Piacenza's wolf-headed flag. It had been with Liu Feng for three years. At this moment, it was waving for himself again in distant England.
Liu Feng felt infinite power in his heart, and after feeling the supporters' support for him, he followed Amunia as the second entry into the court and silently touched his sneakers with his hands.
"Okay, both sides have decided on the ownership of the kick-off and the stadium. The home team Arsenal chose the kick-off and attacked from the right side to the left, and Blackpool was the opposite."
All the trivial matters before the start of the competition were completed in a flash. When the time was approaching 22 o'clock in the evening of Beijing time, the air at the scene was quiet for a second.
"Shh!!!"
The long whistle cut through the sky, and Liu Feng, who was standing in front of the serving point, kicked the ball away.
"Okay, Liu Feng took the ball. This game was his first start in the Premier League after joining the Gunners. He won Wenger's trust just after the first round of the league."
Zhan Jun's voice rang out with the kickoff, and the situation on the court also unfolded with the Gunners' possession of the ball.
"The Blackpool players rushed forward quickly. In this game, they put on a 442 lineup that was consistent with the last round of blood-sweeping Wigan Athletics. The entire team, including the goalkeeper, quickly pressed forward, and they began to put pressure on the Gunners in the midfield."
Before there was no better choice, Blackpool did not change the team's first round style, at least this style of playing gave them confidence when dealing with Wigan Athletics.
But, is this choice really right?
"Rossici was holding the ball steadily. He was making a coherent pass with Wilshire and Alexander Song. Oh~, he directly passed it out with one kick. He seemed to have seen the opportunity!"
In the second minute of the game, Arsenal's ball forward, Rosici's straight pass passed through the double-team of two Blackpool players and came directly to Liu Feng's feet who was pressing on the middle.
"Liu Feng received the ball, and his position was in the heart of the visiting team's midfield. The defensive player closest to him was rushing towards him quickly. The little tiger on the right had already inserted it in a tremendous way. It was a very good passer ~ big feet, shot!!! Directly hit the ball!!!"
"Bang!!!"
A clear deformation that could be seen by the naked eye occurred on the ball. Liu Feng's shot was so powerful that it made the defender who flew past his ears and felt his eardrums hurt.
But the most shocking and crazy thing is much more than that.
"Screw shot! This is a screw shot!!! Blackpool's goalkeeper was too far ahead, he quickly chased back, it was too late! The ball was in!!!"
"In the second minute and 21st of the game, the ball was in! A lightning goal, an unparalleled sense of smell, Liu Feng!!!!"
At this moment, time seemed to have frozen. Whether it was the visiting team or the home team fans, there was only one idea left in my heart - it was ridiculous.
Chapter completed!
