NOVEL WEB Chapter 42: A show of force
"I'm OK!"
Szczesny answered first.
Wilshere patted Xia Qi on the back and said: "I will do anything for victory and Arsenal."
This is not just a compliment. There are indeed many people in the UK who have deep feelings for the club, but under the gold and dollar offensive, very few can hold on.
"I am extremely loyal to the club. This is my home, so... I have to pay more!"...
...
...
After the three of them trained for an hour, Xia Qi exited the idle state.
Xia Qi was serious about training. Looking at the training opinions given by the AI, Xia Qi said to Wilshere seriously:
"Will, can I tell you how I feel and what I want?"
"of course."
"I like that you can pass some early passes. What I mean is that you don't have to look for where I am, you pass to the place where you should pass. Of course, its position cannot be far away from me..."
"I don't have an inverse foot, so you don't have to think about how to pass the ball to make me comfortable. I have almost no shooting shortcomings, so ground balls or high-altitude balls, as long as you are happy, I don't care..."
Wilshere opened his mouth so wide that he could swallow an egg: "I like the way you brag, I almost believed it."
After the three of them rested for ten minutes, they continued...
An hour later, Wilshere shut down...
In the following two days of training, Wei-Xia's connection became a sight on the training ground...
...
...
On October 10, Xia Qi’s first Champions League game began.
In order to support their son, Xia Qi's parents came all the way from Manchester.
He rejected Wenger's gift ticket and used Xia Qi's family ticket.
Of course, the value of family tickets is not as valuable as Wenger's VIP tickets, but they are the favorite of die-hard fans.
The seats in this stand are not for sale to the public and belong to the club and major fan associations.
This stand is behind the goal and you can clearly see the players' movements. The cheers or boos from here can really shock the players.
And the stands are very low. Fans on the first floor can have close contact with the players by stepping over the barriers and jumping over the billboards. Of course, before that, you have to break through the security blockade.
Arsenal's hardcore fans, the Mike family, are now in this stand with Xia Qi's parents.
When Xia Qi was warming up, because he couldn't interact during the game, he went to the stands to say hello to his parents.
Therefore, the identity of the two elders was exposed, and the fans in the stands immediately applauded the two elders, leaving the two elders at a loss and blushing.
"Xia, how many will you bring in tonight?"
Alice shouted to Xia Qi.
Xia Qi responded with a 6+1 move!
Arsenal fans already knew the correct meaning of this gesture, and all the fans in the stands collectively responded with a 6+1.
Even Qin Shihuang didn't expect that it was not the Qin Dynasty that unified the world, but the "6+1" gesture.
Under the live television camera, sharp-eyed fans also discovered a special audience - England national team coach Roy Hodgson.
In 2012, apart from Rooney, there was really no one England forward who could play.
The fans started to get excited, cheering and shouting towards the stands where the old man was sitting...
Hodgson's appearance was a surprise.
He did not greet the club or players beforehand, nor did he disguise himself.
His behavior made Wenger very unhappy.
"What a rude and disrespectful British guy!"
Most club coaches don't like the national team coach very much, especially when his staff is tight.
In tonight's game, Shakur 04 has already taught Wenger a lesson before.
For Wenger, who is determined to have a breakthrough in the Champions League, he must use his full strength tonight to fight against the rabbit!
He placed Wilshere and Szczesny on the starting lineup as soon as they returned from injury, which shows that he attaches great importance to the Champions League.
But Hodgson's appearance made Wenger worried. He was afraid that Hodgson would call up Wilshere.
Compared with Xia Qi, Wilshere is too glassy.
Even though Xia Qi's feet were weak many times after the game and he had to be helped off the field by his teammates, his body has always been healthy.
Wenger comforted himself: Don't scare yourself. No one knew in advance that Wilshere would come back tonight. He came to see Xia Qi. That kid is rough and tough, so he's fine!
Xia Qi and his teammates didn't know about this little episode.
At this time, Xia Qi stood in the players' tunnel and listened to the Champions League theme song. It was a very dignified song, and when paired with Chinese characters, it was very joyful.
"You don't have a chance to play football in this life, but why are you here, silly girl?
Play against Barcelona, play against Barcelona, play against Bayern Munich, our factory has collapsed!
Seeing that we are encountering the universe again, I can’t help but want to fly at this moment, silly pig!
Don't "kill" Bayern. Thank you Barcelona for trying to kill me!
Play against Barcelona, play against Barcelona, play against Bayern Munich, our factory has collapsed! …”
After the song ended, Xia Qi still had more to say. He really wanted to play against Barcelona and Bayern now!
...

“Viewers, welcome to watch the 2012-2013 UEFA Champions League group B match broadcast live on Penguin Sports Channel, where Arsenal will face Olympiacos at home.
Now players from both sides are starting to enter the field, and both teams have won the last game.
This game is a battle for the top spot in Group B.
In this game, Arsenal midfielder Wilshere and main goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny returned from injury and appeared on the starting lineup.
Arsenal have just won the Greater London Derby. Their morale is high and their lineup is neat. They are expected to win tonight's game.
However, Olympiacos is not a weak team. They defeated the veteran Bundesliga team Shaker 04 in the last round...
Now let’s take a look at both sides’ starting lineups…”
on the field,
"Ding Dong"
"Please host select 'training' or 'competition' mode."
"Contest"
"Please host choose the court position: A forward, B..."
"TO"
"Detect the current situation of the host's team and match the attributes of the host [Ghost Pancake Man]."
"The ghost of offside appears and disappears! The great knight will eat countless cakes."
"Please host choose 'autonomous mode' or 'one-click hang-up mode'"
"Warm reminder: During the hang-up period, the host will automatically complete various indicator actions by the system."
"Hang up with one click!"
"Easily hang up, automatically complete with one click, free your feet, and bring a relaxed and happy stadium experience to the host! The game experience has officially begun."
...
Xia Qi stood in the center circle waiting for the kick-off, his eyes filled with pity.
"Sir Dark Horse, if I bring out [Ghost Cookie Man], how should you respond?"
Olympiacos kicked off first,
They were not afraid of strangers at the Emirates Stadium. They had the momentum of a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers. They made three passes and two passes right at the edge of Arsenal's penalty area.
Paul Machado made a pass from the left corner of the penalty area, and Mitroglu carried Vermaelen and shot a blast.
The ball was too fast and Szczesny did not dare to hug it, so he could only lift it over the crossbar.
With less than a point in the opening game, they gave the home team a showdown.
Although the AI is controlling the body at this time, Xia Qi still seems to feel his face burning.
My little brother is cruel and the one who comes here is evil!
