Chapter 542 The most expensive parallel imports in history?
"It won't take long to see the real me."
On Twitter and Weibo, Chu Jiang updated a brief message.
Then, he continued to devote himself to training and preparation, ignoring all arguments and criticisms.
Those who believe in me will naturally believe in me; those who don’t believe in me will do more?
Chu Jiang is a football player, and the arena is his stage. He wants to respond to all criticisms with his performance in the game.
In the next league game, Arsenal's opponent will be the Premier League promoted this season, Southampton.
In history, Southampton also won the top league championship in England. For most of the time, they also fought in the top league for a long time. However, in the 2005-06 season, they unfortunately ranked at the end of the league standings and were tragically relegated.
This year, they returned to the Premier League.
In the first three league rounds, they lost to Manchester City and Manchester United, tied with Wigan Athletics, and scored a total of 1 point.
Such a result looks a bit ugly, but it is normal for them. After all, it is really too difficult for Southampton to get points from opponents like Manchester City and Manchester United.
In this year's league, Southampton's goal is to work hard to relegate.
For Arsenal, it should be no big problem to win such an opponent and fight at home.
However, due to Chu Jiang's poor condition in the previous two games, many people still expressed doubts about the Gunners' prospects for this game.
Among the side effects of black pills, there is a terrifying effect, which is to randomly select an attribute and reduce it to only 1 point.
In the first two games, the attributes that were unfortunately selected were crossing and attacking.
This attribute in the cross has no effect on Chu Jiang.
The reason why he performed poorly in Liverpool's game was mainly because he lacked the necessary understanding of the side effects of the black pill.
Attacking is a relatively important item in the goalkeeper's attributes.
In the game against Lill, Chu Jiang's first goal was because he was not sure about the timing of the attack, which led to his opponent's easy shot and scored in an empty goal.
Later, he became more cautious when attacking, which also led to many times having to react and save on the goal line.
In this way, the difficulty of defense will naturally increase a lot.
In fact, after the game against Liverpool, Chu Jiang had already adapted to the state of the Black Maple during the sluggish period.
However, due to the fewer choices to attack, his save in this game will be very reluctant to complete when he has time. This led to two key saves missing, causing the opponent to score a goal.
In the eyes of others, Chu Jiang's performance in both games was very clumsy.
However, Chu Jiang knew that he was making progress.
He knew that he had slowly adapted to the downturn of the Black Pill.
As the game against Lill was approaching the end, Chu Jiang saved his opponent twice in a row with his slowly improving goalkeeper attributes and his judgment on the situation on the field.
Such performance has been full of evidence that his condition is recovering.
Through conscious and targeted training during training, repeated viewing of videos, summary of failed experiences, careful thinking of the game, and repeated thinking of the legendary goalkeeper's experience... Through all that he can work hard, Chu Jiang slowly regained his own technology.
Although his progress seems insignificant to others, Chu Jiang knows that he is getting closer to his best level.
Side effects of black pills?
All reactionaries are paper tigers; all side effects are vulnerable in front of the real strong!
Chu Jiang believes that he can control his own destiny, he can seize all difficulties and kill those sufferings to the scum!
This game against Southampton is perhaps the most difficult game of Chu Jiang in these three games.
Because, his luck is not very good.
This time, the attribute that was favored by Black Pill is: save!
In the goal god system, there are 12 technical attributes directly related to goalkeeping. They are: save, attack, bounce, control of air, intercept crosses, throwing the ball by hand, opening the ball, commanding defense, reaction, prediction, defensive position, and neural index.
After the summer special training, Chu Jiang's 12 attributes were unified to 18 points by the system.
During the downturn of the Black Pill, the basic technical attributes of these 12 goalscorers will be temporarily adjusted to 9 points. In the game, the system will only give Chu Jiang the corresponding defensive prompts based on the weakened attributes.
Among all 12 basic goalkeeper skills, the most important and core one is save.
This technical attribute will determine Chu Jiang's save technology on the goal line, which is the last barrier to prevent the opponent from completing the goal.
The save attribute is reduced to 1 point, which means that when the opponent shoots, Chu Jiang must quickly make his own judgment on the timing and movement of the save. If he still expects the system's assistance, then he will wait to pick up the ball from the net.
On September 15, Arsenal welcomed the underdog Southampton team at its home court.
In this game, Wenger chose to continue to trust Chu Jiang and still regard him as the team's starting goalkeeper.
Before the game, Van Persie and Wenger both called out to the fans, hoping that they would give Chu Jiang more support than boo.
The Gunners fans immediately responded positively.
"Three goals, 6 points, Chu, we haven't forgotten you. Come on!"
In the stands, they pulled out long slogans to cheer Chujiang up.
Chu Jiang's vision stayed on the fans' slogans for a long time. He kept this friendship in mind.
Not long after the game began, Chu Jiang was scored by his opponent.
On the edge of the penalty area, Southampton's forward kicked a world wave, and the football flew into the dead corner, and Chu Jiang had no choice but to do anything about it.
If he is in good condition, he can try to make a save, and maybe he can save the goal.
However, he obviously does not have such ability now.
The same goal conceded, and this goal conceded is not the same as the goal conceded in the previous two games. Chu Jiang’s responsibility is not very serious.
In the subsequent games, the Gunners firmly controlled the situation of the game and basically did not give Southampton any decent offensive opportunities.
And for Southampton, being able to score a goal away is enough to make them proud.
So, in the next game, they began to stop the bus in front of the goal and defended the lead with one goal.
Facing such a defense, Arsenal doesn't seem to have any good solutions.
Due to the influence of the Black Ball, Chu Jiang's free kick attributes have also been reduced by half. Now, the system provides him with a free kick technical level, which is similar to that of ordinary players.
To be on the safe side, Chu Jiang refused to take the free kick in the first two games.
Therefore, after losing Chu Jiang's free kick threat, Arsenal did not have many ways to deal with intensive defense.
Now, Arsenal's number one free kick player has been replaced by Chu Jiang to Van Persie.
The quality of the general's free kick is OK, but compared with Chu Jiang at his peak, the gap is still relatively obvious.
He has failed to score a single free kick in three of his last two games.
Without free kick deterrence and lack of offensive space, Arsenal players will have a headache when facing Southampton's iron barrel formation.
As a result, after 90 minutes of dull battle, Arsenal was upset by the promoted Southampton and suffered another defeat.
Three consecutive losses.
After the momentum of two consecutive victories, the Gunners soon suffered a tragic three-game losing streak.
Losing Liverpool, Lille, and Southampton, Arsenal lost whoever he saw for a while, and from a strong team to a bottom-line team that everyone was bullied.
After three consecutive losses, the scapegoat that was under the most pressure was naturally Chu Jiang, who performed poorly.
He started the Gunners very strongly and fully whet everyone's appetite. However, his subsequent performance was like a meteor. He fell to the ground quickly, and his face hit the ground first. This disappointed everyone.
Although Chu Jiang did not perform very poorly in the game against Southampton, he basically did everything a goalkeeper should do. However, people still habitually believe that the fundamental reason for the team's poor performance lies in him.
A talented player with the title of the new generation of best goalkeeper, and a sky-high player with a price of £37 million, should be more than that.
In addition to the mistakes in the first two games, Chu Jiang did not act as a scapegoat, who would do it?
For a time, the media's criticism of Chu Jiang entered **.
"The most expensive parallel goods in history!"
Times columnist George Culkin made the final decision on the Arsenal deal.
"...After just performing well in two games against underdogs, the goalkeeper from ancient China lost his direction in his life. At Anfield, Gerald's long shot made the poor goalkeeper unable to hide. In the subsequent games, he became a joke on the field."
"I don't know where the praise he received came from. Maybe, he used to be very good in Italy? But who cares? With us, he acts like a fresh graduate."
"The mistake in one game can be attributed to accident. The mistake in three games, tsk, that's not a mistake, but that's the level."
"Some people say that it takes some time for him to get into a big city from the countryside by the sea. But maybe he is not suitable for living in a big city at all, and a small fishing village is the place that is more suitable for him."
"In the next game, the Gunners will meet Manchester City away."
"In the previous four league rounds, Manchester City scored a total of 13 goals and won a total of all, making it the best team in England and the most powerful firepower. What about the Gunners? They lost all of them in the last three games and lost a total of 7 goals!"
"This will be a battle between the sharpest gun and the worst shield. The only suspense of the game is how many goals the Blue Moon strikers will get from the Gunners."
"I don't think I would be surprised if Manchester City scored ten goals."
"Because, made in China is equivalent to Chinese garbage, poor performance and worthless."
"If that Chinese goalkeeper continues to play, if Arsenal can draw Manchester City, I'm talking about draws instead of winning. I, George Caulkin, will be very, very surprised!"
