Chapter 506: Prosperous London Football

After the start of the second half, the scene was still in a stalemate, but Arsenal overtook the score in an inadvertent attack. In the 66th minute, Lyonberg forced a break from Ashley Cole on the wing and made a cross. With Reyes and Henry both stared at him, Pirey shot with his heel with almost no angle. The ball actually went around in the front point of the goal!

The live broadcast camera was replayed three times but no one could tell me why, and I didn't know how the ball was scored. From slow motion, Pire's heel shot should have been a flaw. He should have hit the back point, but he confused Jasklein, so that after Jasklein made a save, he could only see the ball slowly flying into the front point...

"Damn, is Arsenal's goal scored like this?" Xiao Ming cursed in annoyance.

After lucky lead, Arsenal launched the defense. Wenger replaced Reyes with Bergkamp, ​​strengthened the ball possession in the frontcourt, and then replaced Pire with Clichy to play the left back. Carlazer returned to the middle, Gilbert returned to the midfield, and Arsenal began to use ball possession to control the situation on the court.

Leiden East's attack began to become more and more fierce, and the two sides also began to push up the attack frequently, suppressing Arsenal's edge.

As Leiden Oriental's offensive pressure increased, Arsenal's fouls also increased. Vieira and Toure received yellow cards in succession. Ronaldo sprained his right foot in the offense. Bente appeared. Leiden Oriental maintained the offensive in the frontcourt, and Arsenal did not defend passively. Borgkamp continued to control the rhythm of the game in the midfield. The Dutch veteran's assault ability declined, but his passing skills became more and more perfect.

Gerald's long shot hit Toure in the 78th minute and turned the line. Lehman had lost the possibility of saving, but the ball hit the post and bounced out. Gerald roared to the sky, extremely depressed and extremely dissatisfied.

"Steven, don't worry, continue to attack patiently!" Xiao Ming shouted off the court, then sat back.

If this game is lost like this, no matter who is Leiden East, it will be very unwilling to accept it, especially when there are more threats to attack than opponents...

However, Pirlo's Little Ronaldo and Mascherano in the stands also gave Xiao Ming a lot of room for adjustment. The main players were indeed not affected. However, last season, Pirlo's dispatch and Ronaldo's breakthrough were both big killers that could be used at critical moments.

Leiden's attack on the field continued, Darren Bent dribbled the ball and broke through forcibly, and the ball missed the far post.

"Don't worry, Darren!" Fanny shouted at Bente, Bente nodded, but he still couldn't hold back...

After the 85th minute, Daniel, who was in the attack, made a forcibly breaking along the side and then made a cross. The ball hit Karaze's leg and flew out of the baseline and corner kick.

Almost all the players of Leiden East came up. Except for Mark Leiley and Cole dragged behind to defend the opponent's counterattack, even Daniel did not retreat.

"Start people! Watch them all one-on-one!" Lehman shouted loudly. There was not much time left before the game ended, and no one wanted to turn three points into one point at this time.

Campbell, Lucio, Vanny, and Gerald, four big tall men attracted almost all the attention of the opponent in the penalty area. Figo drove the ball to the front point, Daniel inserted it from the back row like a wind, and then rushed in front of everyone and headed the ball at the front point!

The ball quickly crashed into the front point of the goal. Lehmann's attack was slow and he had no response to the close-range header. Klich, who was guarding the close-range post, just jumped up and the ball flew in from his head!

"Daniel - Sun! The ball was in! In the 86th minute, the captain of Leiden East tied the score tenaciously! Arsenal's lead was gone, and Leiden East's offensive momentum was simply shocking!"

Xiao Ming jumped up from the coach's seat and raised his hands to cheer. This goal is indeed very important. Even if it can only bring a draw, it is much better than losing the game! Taking a point away from the direct competitor's home court can never be said to be a very bad result...

Daniel's goal became the last goal of the game. After the focus battle was tied, the top three in the Premier League standings were once again in a balance. Arsenal won five wins and one draw ranked first with a goal difference advantage, Leiden Oriental also ranked second with five wins and one draw, and Chelsea ranked third with five wins and one draw...

However, for this result, it is obvious that the fans of Leiden Oriental and Arsenal are not satisfied. At the local fan forum in London, fans on both sides were cursing there. Leiden Oriental fans said: "If you weren't lucky, neither of your goals should have been scored." Arsenal fans retorted: "Leden Oriental can always perform well only when you are behind, and even so, you can't win."

Chelsea fans were lukewarm and added fuel to the fire, and then the fans of Arsenal and Leiden Oriental mocked them as nouveau riche, "I can't win a championship in two seasons," and Chelsea fans retorted, "We are just fucking rich!"

Compared with the chaotic London fans, fans in other places seem quite jealous. Three London teams tied for the first place in the standings, and the performance of the two teams of Manchester and Liverpool can only be considered average. You must know that although London has the largest number of professional teams, its performance is far from being compared with Manchester and Liverpool in terms of performance. Especially in the European arena, Manchester United is the first English team to win the Champions League, while Liverpool is the English team to win the Champions League most times. Before Leiden Oriental's two consecutive Champions League titles, the London team has not even won the Champions League championship once. You must know that Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa have both won the Champions League championship!

But now, London football is so proud.

Everyone is looking forward to the final result of this season. London fans are looking forward to continuing to win the league championship and striving to turn the Champions League into the world of London teams in the Champions League. Fans elsewhere hope that the teams they support can give these three London teams that are arrogant at the beginning, letting them know that the league championship is not their possession.

But in the next game, the three London teams continued to walk their threesomes, continuing to create a feeling of despair for other teams.

September 25th, the seventh round of the league.

Chelsea continued their 1-0 idea. Drogba's goal in the 81st minute helped them win Middlesbrough away, and Arsenal seemed to be infected by Chelsea. At the City Stadium, Vieira's goal in the first half allowed Arsenal to win Manchester City 1-0, and Leiden Oriental's condition was similar to theirs. Birmingham once equalized the score, but Fanny's goal in the second half still allowed Leiden Oriental to win the game 2-2 at home.

On September 29, the second round of the Champions League group stage.

Leiden Oriental, who went to Greece, challenged Olympiacos, led by Rivaldo, away. In this game, Xiao Ming rotated some of the main players. His thrilling performance in the last game in the league made him realize that the status of the main players is now from peak to trough. Pirlo and Ronaldo all appeared. Although they changed half of the main players, Leiden Oriental still relied on two goals in the second half to defeat Olympiacos, who once tied with La Coruna in the first round, and ranked third and fourth with two consecutive wins.

Chelsea, who was at home, defeated Porto three-to-one under Mourinho's calm command. Facing his old club, Mourinho was not at all ruthless. In addition, he defeated Paris Saint-Germain three away goals in the first round, and Chelsea also ranked first.

Arsenal was unexpectedly tied by Norway's Rosenberg away, and still ranked first with one win and one draw. Manchester United returned to home court with a 6-2 sweeping against Turkey's Fenerbahce 6-2, Rooney shone and scored the best game since he came to Manchester United. He performed a hat trick in the game and achieved such a wonderful performance in his first European game. After the game, the English media gave all the praise to the 19-year-old young man, who is the hope of the future of the England forward!

After returning to the league, Leiden Oriental's main players who had been off for a week have returned to their excellent form, defeating West Bromwich with a 5-0 away game. Arsenal was not willing to be outdone and played Charlton with a 4-0 goal. Now the two teams have the same points, the same goal difference, and the same number of goals. Leiden Oriental is temporarily ranked first in the away game against Arsenal first, while Chelsea continues to play their ugly performance, defeating Liverpool with another one-to-0 at home. So far, they have only won one goal in all seven league wins. This style of play has made the media pro-Arsenal and Leiden Oriental fiercely criticize their pragmatism, while Mourinho is still unmoved.

"This guy's psychological quality is really good, and he is not influenced by the public opinion of the outside world." Xiao Ming sighed privately. This point is easy to say, but it is difficult to do it. After all, there is never a shortage of "experts" in this world who have not coached games but like to point fingers at professional coaches, including former superstars and famous coaches like Cruyff, and of course, Italian celebrity Sakchi. Mourinho later mocked these guys: "Isn't it ridiculous for a 'famous' who has not coached a team for twenty years to point fingers at me, the champion coach?"

There is never a shortage of hindsight in this world. Some excellent head coaches who will make some ridiculous mistakes in the game, but those who laugh and criticize him afterwards can think about what happened from his perspective? It is always easy to speak, but it is so difficult to do things.

Mourinho is smart. Not only will he not be influenced by external criticism and public opinion, he will also use the media to achieve what he wants to do, which is common in Mourinho's coaching career in later generations.

But then again, Mourinho has always been a very tough person. This can be seen from his few games in office at Chelsea. Although the cooperation between the players is not tacit enough, and although Robben has been injured and unable to play, Chelsea has won the game. Although he has only won one goal, this is definitely not a reflection of his complete coaching ability. It can only be said that Mourinho's luck is quite good. The new coaching team won the game without any danger. In the following leagues, Chelsea will only perform better and better.

After the eighth round of the league ended, another national team game, and major international players returned to the national team to participate in the competition. The most severe disasters in the Premier League were naturally Leiden Oriental and Chelsea. Arsenal and Manchester United were greatly affected, which is a good opportunity for mid- and lower-level teams.

In the early morning, Mascherano quietly got up. This time he refused the call of the Argentine national team. Perhaps because of his participation in the Olympics, Mascherano had not yet won a chance to play in Leiden East. The Argentine Football Association felt a little guilty, and they agreed to Mascherano's request not to return to the national team for the time being.

Mascherano knew that this was an opportunity for him. Marklele went to participate in the national team game and his physical fitness would definitely be greatly affected. The league head coach after the new start was likely to rotate him, so that he would have more confidence in his chances of playing.

Of course, he also has to face the competition of Sean Davis, who also has no national team task. He knows his advantages and the opponent's advantages - his advantages lies in better skills and younger age, while Davis's advantages lies in his familiarity with the Premier League and his fully adult physique. In addition, he and his teammates who participated in the pre-season training camp are more familiar with him.

Playing in such a top club naturally requires more competition and more room for improvement.

Mascherano got up alone. He has now moved into Daniel's house and became a neighbor who is separated from Ronaldo by a wall. Captain Daniel gets up very early every day, and Ronaldo also gets up very early. Mascherano originally planned to practice in advance by himself, but now he is used to it. After getting up every day, he goes to train with Daniel and Ronaldo.

Daniel is six years older than him, and he is already considered a success. At least he is now the top right-back in the Premier League and the main right-back of the England national team. However, Daniel is still like when he joined Leiden Oriental at the age of seventeen. He gets up one and a half hours early every day, runs to the training base for half an hour, practices for one hour, and practices for one hour after the training.

There are quite a few people who have the same habits as him in Leiden East. At least Gerald used to be like Daniel, and Ronaldo was like Daniel last year, and now he has a Mascherano.

Close the door, Mascherano was about to go out. He lived in a row of houses behind the Chinese restaurant. This was originally a storage room for the restaurant. After Daniel entered the first team of Leiden East, after teammates kept boarding here, Lao Sun transformed the place into a single room - it was also a source of income...

He greeted Lao Sun, the landlord who had already opened the door to do business. Mascherano sat next to the table and ate a small piece of cake, drank a glass of warm water, and then greeted Katherine, who was also getting up and preparing to go to school, and ran out of the Chinese restaurant gate.

Catherine has a sunny smile, and she and her brother Daniel have obvious mixed-race characteristics, but Daniel has black hair and Catherine has blonde hair.

This happens almost every morning, but every time, Little Ronaldo smiles and says something to Catherine for half a day. Daniel is next to him, with a bad face, and then the two of them rushed to the training ground like a game sprint. Then you attack and my defense, one-on-one bullfight...

Today, Mascherano is the only one.

Jogging along the streets of Leiden, local fans of Leiden greeted Mascherano on the road. Mascherano nodded. Since Daniel joined the first team, this scene has been a scene on the streets of Leiden. First Daniel ran alone, and a few years later, Gerald and Ashley Cole joined. Later, with Gerald and Ashley Cole moving away, Daniel became a man again. Last season, he became Daniel and Ronaldo. This year, he joined Mascherano again...

After running to the training base gate, he greeted the old guard James Green. Green smiled and helped him open the door. Green is already in his seventies and is said to retire after a while. However, the old man still looks very good and has a red face. Leiden Oriental players often joke that Green is Ferguson of Leiden Oriental...

After changing clothes in the locker room and taking a little rest, Mascherano ran to the training ground. The training ground was quiet, with no one, and too many first-team members went to participate in the national team competition. Although many people were drawn from the reserve team, it was obvious that these little guys could not train for too long - for them who had not yet established their bodies, excessive training would be harmful.
