Chapter 33: 3 goals, massacre tonight (transitional article)
Sunday morning news at 8 a.m.:
“Happy weekend, audience friends, today is Greater London Derby Day, and God is also kind, with rare good weather in London.
According to reports from frontline reporters, more than 30,000 Blues fans have gathered on the south bank of the Thames River, and the number is still increasing..."
Jack, who was in front of the TV, banged the table angrily and cursed: "These sons of bitches!"
The 59,000-seat Emirates Stadium only sold less than 20,000 tickets to its South Coast rivals.
This shameless bunch actually called for more than double the number of "Northern Expeditionary Army".
This is not a tourist!
Not those weaklings from White Hart Lane!
They are, somewhat tough, respectable and terrifying enemies...
The citizens and police of North London felt as if they were facing a powerful enemy, or rather, they were trembling.
Shivering, this word...!
Don't look at Mike and Arsenal fans. They don't admit it with their words, but their actions do...
Many Arsenal families send their underage children to their parents' homes and carry a baseball bat with them.
Jack put a baseball bat in the trunk of his car, and his wife Terri not only did not stop him, but also thoughtfully prepared a medical kit for him.
Xia Qi saw Terry thoughtfully asking Jack what else he needed to bring besides iodine, wound patches, bandages, and painkillers...
It was like a gentle and charming voice saying: "Dalang, it's time to take medicine!".
I couldn't help but shudder.
Is this a close lover?
Or the British version of Pan Jinlian?
"Hi, good morning! Excuse me, are you going to watch a football match? It looks like a battlefield to me?"
"Xia, will you play tonight?"
"I don't know, but I'm on Boss's list."
"Then you can score goals, right?"
"Of course, that's my duty and my job."
"That's right."
What's right?
Monk Xia Qizhang was confused.
He has no idea how "notorious" he is now. Arsenal fans affectionately call him the "Ice Cream Prince" and Chinese fans call him "Snow Master".
However, in the eyes of others, he is called "the cruel emperor!" "One dragon per game!" "Evil dragon monster!"
In the hearts of the majority of Arsenal fans,
The prince, who has scored 12 goals in three games and averaged four goals per game, returns to his home court. How can he not ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor?
If this is going to be a five-year-old success, six or six successes, the Blues have such a hooligan temperament, it would be strange if they don't make a big fuss in North London!
Tonight, defend the Emirates Stadium and defend North London!
Seeing Xia Qi's confused expression, Jack didn't explain much. After all, Xia Qi's bond from Manchester City and North London was not deep enough. He didn't understand, so it didn't matter.
Didn't you see, in the last game, he was more Arsenal than any other Arsenal player.
It was his hard running in desperate situations that ignited the entire Arsenal and completed an epic victory.
Jack believes that it won't be long before Xia Qi will become one of them. At that time, like Terri, he will sort out medicines and weapons for himself.
"Xia, why don't you go to the Kearney training base? You'll be late. And..."
Jack wanted to say that he must score a goal tonight, but he didn't want to put pressure on Xia Qi, so he swallowed his words again.
"Oh, then I'm leaving."
In fact, Xia Qi didn’t understand them at all, he just thought they were a bit exaggerated. The Russians were still domineering and ruled the world with a pair of iron fists...
On the way to work, Xia Qi felt a different atmosphere.
Along the way, when vehicles were merging or passing each other, they would shout: "Arsenal, the King of London."
Xia Qi is now the Ice Cream Prince of Arsenal and his car is well known.
While waiting for the traffic light, a mounted policeman knocked on the car window and said to Xia Qi: "Mr. Emperor, you can score goals boldly. Those reptiles from the south bank have me! They can't afford to cause trouble."
Xia Qi was flattered.
There is only one great king of Arsenal, and that is: 32-year-old Henry, sitting there, looking over with affectionate eyes, all are his 22-year-old shadow.
Xia Qi, who was flattered, gave the mounted police a "6+1" gesture that is very popular in the Chinese community.
This is a very popular show in China hosted by the Chinese male god Uncle Li Yong. This gesture is interpreted by the Chinese as: "I love you."
But the British don't understand this.
When the mounted police officer was chatting with his colleagues after work, they talked about Xia Qi's "6+1" gesture.
The North London Police Department may have a habit of drinking "morning drinks". These police uncles started talking nonsense early in the morning.
"The Ice Cream Prince said he was going to beat Chelsea three times."
Number gestures are not universal around the world. In Europe, numbers above five require two hands, and one hand can only be used for numbers below five.
In the UK, the number three is expressed using hand gestures. The thumb clasps the little index finger and the middle three fingers are extended. It is very different from Xia Qi's hand gesture.
"Then why not compare it like this?"
Another colleague retorted, making the correct number "3" gesture.
"Thumbs up means great, Your Highness means more than '3'."
perfect!
genius!
Give the tabloids a break and earn some money for football betting.
An article titled "Ice Cream Prince: Three goals to win, a feast of massacre tonight" was circulated before the game.
There are pictures and the truth!
The "6+1" gesture immediately became a greeting for Arsenal fans.
Chelsea fans, on the other hand, started to cross the river and march north with full anger.
Nearly 40,000 Chelsea fans carried the club and fans association flags, wore uniform blue jerseys, and sang the team anthem.
Escorted by two helicopters, N police cars, and N mounted police, they walked across the Thames Bridge and set off toward the Emirates Stadium.
This is equivalent to nearly 40,000 people walking from Pudong to Hongkou.
When the news came that they had crossed the bridge, thousands of Arsenal fans, wearing red and white jerseys, walked out of their homes and made their way to the Emirates Stadium.
Before the game started, the fans competed in numbers.
Anyway, Arsenal fans will never allow it, and those shameless Chelsea people will turn the Emirates Stadium into their home stadium.
The atmosphere at Colney's training ground is also completely different from before.
There is a feeling that a storm is coming.
There was no tactical or physical training today. I just played some relaxation games in the morning.
During the lunch break, Wenger announced the starting lineup...
At five o'clock in the afternoon, the team bus drove out of the base.
In the square of the Emirates Stadium, Arsenal fans and Chelsea fans stood clearly in different areas.
Seeing the Arsenal bus heading towards the entrance, Arsenal fans spontaneously stood on both sides of the entrance and applauded. Although no one was directing, their applause was uniform and quite impressive.
Seeing Xia Qi lying by the car window looking out, the fans made a "6+1" gesture to him.
Xia Qi was at the base during the day, and he really didn't know that someone interpreted this gesture as: "Three goals in the pocket, massacre tonight."
I thought the fans would say: I love you!
Six, six, six!
I love you all too! mwah.
He immediately made the gesture out the window and explained its meaning to his teammates.
After the game against Manchester City, Xia Qi became close friends with Chamberlain, Theo Walcott, Cazorla...many teammates.
And the meaning of this gesture is so good.
Chinese "I love you!"
As a result, everyone in the car, including Wenger and Pat Rice, compared themselves with "6+1".
Immediately, deafening cheers erupted outside the car window, which could be heard even ten miles away.
I am superficial!
It turns out that His Royal Highness is not young and frivolous, but the master tactician has plans tonight.
"Hi, Football Lottery Center? I want to bet on Arsenal to handicap three goals..."
"Marilyn, help me buy Arsenal a big goal win. They can score 5 goals tonight."
