Chapter 98： Why not the first captain?

Chapter 98 Why not the first captain?

In the 30th round of the Premier League, Arsenal won Swansea cleanly on the road.

Throughout the game, Lucky was in a relatively leisurely state.

Swansea's desire to fight is not enough, for this reason, Arsenal also played more easily.

In fact, it is easy to understand. After 30 rounds, many things have been decided.

Especially for a team like Swansea who can't make it or make it low.

Swansea, currently ranked ninth in the standings, is in a more awkward position.

The European theater is unable to fight for it, and there is no pressure to avoid relegation, and the FA Cup was eliminated early.

It can be said that the task of this season is over.

In this case, the player's desire to fight will be weakened.

After all, no matter how hard they try to fight for something, it will be of no use. Instead, it is better to spend an easy late stage of the league and come back next year!

Compared to those desperately relegated teams, Swansea are stronger on paper, but their desire to fight is not strong, which makes it not particularly difficult for Arsenal to play.

On the other hand, Arsenal have to be careful when they encounter some relegation teams.

These guys can do anything to avoid relegation.

Throughout the later stages of the Premier League, it is not uncommon for the relegation team to suddenly stage a 'rabbit team' drama.

The 90-minute game ended, and the entire Liberty Stadium was full of abuse.

"Shameless! You guys don't look good at all!"

"Completely lost the desire to fight, you are just eating and waiting to die!"

"A game like shit!"

"Go to hell! Disgusting bastard!"

The home fans irritated and scolded the players, and Luckey could see that the expressions of the Swansea players were not particularly good-looking.

But what else can you do, you lose!

On the other hand, there is a peaceful atmosphere on Arsenal's side.

The away fans who came from far away applauded.

Although they have just been eliminated from the Champions League, the hearts of Arsenal fans have become hot again.

The reason is very simple, Arsenal's impact in the late stage of the league is extremely violent.

With only 8 rounds left in the league, the only one that can be called a strong enemy is Manchester United.

If Arsenal can maintain this momentum, it is not impossible to win the Premier League title.

Compared to the performance in the early and mid-term of the league, Arsenal's performance in the later stage can be described as amazing.

"Hey! Here's one!"

"Kai! Come one!"

Arsenal fans kept encouraging Lucky to come for a 'three-punch celebration', but Lucky shook his head with a wry smile and refused.

This Nima celebrates so arrogantly at other people's home court, won't he be beaten?

Seeing Le Kai waved his hand and refused, Arsenal fans were a little helpless.

After    rejected the fans, Lucky turned his head to look over.

Found Monreal alone on the touchline drinking water.

Monreal is a Spanish fringe international who transferred at the buzzer this winter, playing as a full-back.

After more than a month at Arsenal, he finally got a chance to play after Vermaelen was injured.

That's right!

Vermaelen is injured!

Lucky is going to cry!

This Arsenal player is more than a glass!

Cazorla and Arteta have just returned, and Vermaelen is injured again.

Fortunately, Monreal, who just arrived, has performed well.

This is a mild-mannered and shy Spanish boy who is also very quiet when he plays football.

In this game, he played a key defensive role many times and performed very well.

"Hey! How do you feel about your debut?"

Lucky walked over and patted Monreal on the shoulder.

The latter was stunned for a moment, and he looked at Le Kai in surprise.

He was surprised that the 'boss' of the Arsenal locker room would take the initiative to talk to him.

"Not bad!" Monreal showed a smile and said in English that was not fluent.

Le Kai smiled and nodded; "Keep it up, and remember to shout more during the game, you are playing too quietly, don't think that you will conflict with your teammates because of this, I know you just transferred and haven't fully integrated into the team, but I will help you."

Monreal listened to the clouds and mists, but he could feel the kindness expressed by Le Kai, and couldn't help showing a bright smile: "Thank you, you are a good person!"

Lucky: "."

"Come on, let's go back to the locker room."

Immediately, the two walked into the player tunnel together.

As soon as he walked into the locker room, Le Kai saw a group of Arsenal players pouting their butts together. They gathered around Chamberlain and were staring at their mobile phones.

You don’t need to look at it to know that these guys are starting to study the standings again.

Le Kai said in a bad mood: "It's useless to stare at it all the time. Can Manchester United still lose?"

In this regard, Chamberlain turned his head and said; "Manchester United won!"

Lucky spread his hands: "Look!"

"But Manchester City lost!"

"My forehead." Le Kai was stunned, got up abruptly and leaned over, surprised: "Man City lost? Who to kick?"

"Everton!" Chamberlain raised his scissors with a smile and said; "We are second in the standings!"

1: Manchester United, 23-3-4, 69 points.

2: Arsenal, 19-5-6, 62 points.

3: Manchester City, 17-8-9, 59 points.

"Come forward! Run!"

"Back to defense! Back to defense!"

"Arteta, run, don't be lazy!"

"Go forward and block!"

"Monreal, shout! You can't keep talking!"

It was a hot scene at Arsenal's training ground.

A voice ran throughout the scrims.

You don't have to look to know that this is Lucky's cry.

Arsenal players are used to this.

It feels good to have this voice always reminding them what to do.

Compared to those dull environments, Arsenal's training atmosphere is already very high.

Wenger stood on the sidelines, he looked at Lucky's direction with a hint of joy and satisfaction.

On the side of    is Vermaelen. He does not need to lie on a hospital bed because of his injury, but he cannot do strenuous exercise, so he is also undergoing recovery training without affecting the injury.

Vermaelen glanced at the court, then looked at the professor and thoughtfully; "The team's second and third captains have not yet been determined. When I'm not here, you can't always rotate the players to wear the captain's armband. Bar?"

Wenger didn't look back; "No hurry."

Vermaelen shook his head and smiled, and said, "Do you want to announce it next season? Are you waiting for Kai? Let me guess, do you want him to be the third captain or the second captain?"

Wenger turned his head to look directly at Vermaelen and said, "Why can't he be the first captain?"

Vermaelen's smile froze.

It’s not that there is no such possibility!

It’s okay to change to another manager, but Wenger sold Vieira directly in order to support Cesc Fabregas.

Vermaelen is confident that he has a certain role, but compared to Vieira's weight, it is a bit unqualified!

Seeing Vermaelen's somewhat stiff expression, Wenger patted Vermaelen's shoulder with a smile, and said, "It's still early!"

Silence of Vermaelen

He did not deny it!

Wenger took a step forward and clapped his hands to attract attention; "Okay, boys, this is the end of today's training. Next, the person I named will go to the team manager's room to report!"

Everyone stopped the training game and came to stand in front of Wenger.

Wenger started to call; "Vermaelen, Suarez, Arteta and Kai! You four go to the team manager's room, Martin Hughes will tell you what to do."

After training, Le Kai and others finished washing up, and immediately walked to Arsenal's office building under the leadership of Vermaelen.

"What is this for? Why let the four of us go over?"

Suarez was puzzled.

Lucky shook his head; "I don't know either, I'll know when I go anyway!"

Led by Vermaelen, the four came to the gate of the office building and found that Martin Hughes was already standing there.

"You are finally here, come with me!"

A commercial vehicle was heard in front of the office building. Martin Hughes greeted the four of them and walked up.

Le Kai sat up with a confused look and asked, "What are we going to do?"

Martin Hughes turned his head and smiled; "The professor didn't tell you? Well, let's shoot the poster!"

"Poster?" Le Kai looked surprised.

Which poster?

Martin Hughes explained: "Because Van Persie's transfer was too sudden, the electronic poster at the front entrance of the stadium did not have time to renovate, and the team badge was displayed there all season, so we are going to make a new poster! "

Lucky said in surprise; "The four of us? The entrance poster of the Emirates Stadium?"

Martin Hughes nodded affirmatively; "That's right!"

Lucky is a little dazed

Last year, he was thinking about when he would be able to board the poster on the outer wall of the Emirates Stadium. So soon, he would be on the poster at the entrance.

Came to a studio where the poster was shot.

Lekai and others put on their Arsenal jerseys, and then, under the direction of the photographer, turned their backs to the camera, in pairs, with their arms around their shoulders.

Arteta is teamed with Vermaelen, Lucky is teamed with Suarez.

And there is an obvious gap between Vermaelen and Lucky.

Crack!

That night, the electronic poster screen at the Emirates Stadium was updated.

An oversized poster that is seven meters long and four meters high.

In the middle is the Arsenal team emblem, with Arteta, Vermaelen, Luckey and Suarez standing on both sides.

They embraced each other's shoulders and turned their backs to the entrance, as if they were warriors on the battlefield!

And at the top is a short line of English.
