Godfather Of Champions

"Thierry Henry! WOW!"

The football flew out of the goal post and the Arsenal captain's shot went wide.

"In the first seven minutes of the game, Arsenal shot three times, within the range of the two goal frames, this time it was wide. Arsenal looked proactive in their home court."

"Henry is in very good shape. I think Nottingham Forest is in trouble."

When the narrator said so, Dunn and Chris Lak were sitting on the coaching bench and talking.

"Doesn't it look like a defense?" Chris Lak frowned.

"What did they defend when they didn't score?" Dunn looked at the court and said, "We have a chance to change Wenger's plan. As long as we break their goal before they want to score, we can force Wenger to give up. The defensive counterattack plan will return the game to a familiar track."

As soon as Dunn’s voice fell, the Forest team got a chance to attack. Arteta made a pass from the front court. Viduka made a screen for Anelka. Anelka shot into the penalty area but was shot. Lehman flew to his feet.

Lyman's performance won the applause of the Arsenal fans, but there was still boos. This boo was naturally not aimed at Lehman, but was "dedicated" to Anelka who shot.

If Anelke turned around and ran out of the penalty area without incident, he had long been used to it. Of course, he did not forget to give him a thumbs up to Arteta who passed the ball.

Lyman threw the ball to launch an attack, Fabregas turned to catch the ball, and George Wood followed up. He didn't care about his original position, because Dunn told him that if Fabregas retreats to catch the ball, he must also Keep up. He obeyed Dunn's request, which made Fabregas a little uncomfortable.

"Fàbregas, George Wood! The two of them have met again! This is one of the things we look forward to when we watch Arsenal and Nottingham Forest. Two outstanding young people are like enemies of fate... …I know it’s tacky to say that, but can I find a better description?"

The forest team’s No. 13 has been entangled with him for two seasons, starting with a youth team game. He originally only regarded it as an ordinary youth team game. With his level at the time, he didn't even need to participate in the England Youth FA Cup of the same age. He had the ability to be directly promoted to the first team. However, in order to test his state before the real first team game, Wenger still put him on the youth team to play a few games.

Before the game against the Nottingham Forest youth team, he did not pay attention to his peers in England at all. For him, that kind of game was like playing on the street and he could win the game casually. After all, he is a child who has seen the world and has achieved great achievements. What use is this kind of competition besides warming him up? He is tired of the seemingly endless youth team games. He is eager to go to the first team, to participate in the real league, to feel the real victory and defeat... If he plays with this mentality, who knows the future Can you see Fabregas, the radiant young talent?

The game against the Nottingham Forest youth team changed his future. It was his first defeat after participating in the Arsenal youth team. What made him worry is that his defeated opponent was an unknown man. He didn't know who this person was before. After that, he paid attention to To George Wood's information and discovered that he was a novice who had been training for less than a year!

He was very angry. He wanted to beat Wood completely. He worked very hard in training and tried to adapt to the cold and wet London weather as quickly as possible... All these efforts are to beat him the next time he meets the Nottingham youth team and make him too. It was a complete failure. But there is no chance. After more than a month of that game, he was transferred to the first team by Wenger. Perhaps Wenger also saw that the promotion of Fabregas in the youth team game was too small. He became a member of Arsenal's first team, he became the youngest player to represent Arsenal in the league, and he even became the youngest player to score an official goal on behalf of Arsenal.

For a time, countless praises such as "genius" and "child prodigy" flew to him, and he became a target of the world's attention. Football celebrities, TV commentators, fans...all praised him. But in this overwhelming success, he was not as lost as in the youth team. His mind is extraordinarily clear, because he knows there is another person who he wants to defeat but has no chance to defeat.

Until Nottingham Forest successfully upgraded, he finally had a chance to compete with George Wood in the official game. He thought that a game could end all the grievances between himself and this person, but he did not expect to continue to this day. George Wood is not a coward who can be knocked down by a single defeat, and neither is Francesco Fabregas!

George Wood’s gasping sound came from behind, feeling the touch of his body's constant collision. He must work hard to protect the football to prevent it from being snatched by the guys behind him. At the same time, as a middleman who is in charge of the rhythm of the team. Players, Fabregas must look up to observe the running position of his teammates, as well as the opponent's formation, find loopholes that can be exploited, and pass the football through... If there is no chance, transfer the football out, and then run away from Wood. , Reorganize the offense.

He saw such a gap that could be used. But Wood is pressing hard behind him. He is not absolutely sure that the ball will fly exactly where he wants it to go. If it is intercepted halfway, what if Nottingham Forest fights back?

Fabregas quickly weighed the pros and cons in his mind, and gave up the chance of a direct pass, but passed the football to Edu next to him. Then he turned and ran to other places, George Wood did not give up, he continued to follow up.

Edu passed the ball to him again, Wood continued to lean up for the first time, Fabregas was helpless to pass the ball again, this time he passed to Ashley Cole, and then the England international took the ball to kill Got out.

Next, Fabregas deliberately noticed Wood next to him. He saw Wood turned his head and looked at himself, then looked at Ashley Cole, who was dribbling forward, and finally chose to run back to defend. He ran very fast, not at the normal speed of returning to defense. It was more like a goalkeeper left in the backcourt, and then he ran desperately, running away from Fabregas's eyes in an instant.

The Spanish teenager shook his head, he really didn't know what his mood should be. Such a clever person would turn out to be the opponent he wanted to defeat. Suddenly, a feeling of "I'm really stupid" came to my heart, but soon this feeling disappeared without a trace.

Because he saw Ashley Cole defeated while fighting Wood for speed...

This monster!

George Wood’s restrictions on Fabregas were successful, but Fabregas quickly learned how to deal with it. He no longer just observes the position of his teammates after receiving the ball, but observes the running route of his teammates and the opponent's defensive position in advance when he raises his hand for the ball, and then sends the football out as soon as possible. Or you can make the next move immediately after receiving the ball, without stopping to think about what to do next.

This really brought a lot of trouble to Wood's defense. No matter how fast he was, it would give Fabregas a chance to pass the ball.

Fabregas is alive, Arsenal's offense is alive.

Edu passed the football to Fabregas, and before George Wood came up, Fabregas passed the ball to Bergkamp in front, and the Dutch veteran passed the football to Henry, and then Henry shot. Although this offense did not score a goal, Wenger has already seen hope.

Fabregas has completely replaced Vieira's position and role in the team. Arsenal now has the whole team running with him as the core. He is the team's central nervous system. As long as he can figure out a way to deal with George Wood, Wenger is not afraid of the Forest team.

The game reached a stalemate, the Forest team desperately wanted to break through Arsenal's gate, and Arsenal's thinking was exactly the same as them. It seems that the two sides are fighting each other, but neither is effective.

As I said before the game, the two teams are too familiar with each other and don't have the feeling of playing the Champions League at all, just like they usually play in the league. Arsenal know the habits of every player in Nottingham Forest, and Nottingham Forest is also familiar with Arsenal. Dunn doesn’t have to tell George Wood to watch Fabregas, and he doesn’t need to tell Anelka how to find Arsenal’s defensive opportunities, and he doesn’t have to talk too much to the backline about how to deal with Henry and Bergkamp. They all know. What should I do.

Playing against such an opponent is quite awkward, especially in the context of the Champions League semi-finals. Not excited enough...

The Forest team launched another attack. Ribery dropped the ball to the penalty area. Viduka was struggling to reach the top spot, while Anelka was cruising in the back point, ready to jump in. The football was not pushed by the two of them, but by defender Durr out of the penalty area.

Fabregas, who returned to the edge of the penalty area, received the football. George Wood was not close to him at this time, but was rushing towards him.

The Spanish teenager glanced at Wood, then passed the football to Henry, who came up to meet him, and everyone's attention turned to the world-class striker. If you still have an impression, you will feel that Henry is now familiar with the ball position.

Yes, on November 17, 2002, in the North London Derby, Henry scored the best Premier League goal of the season in the first half of the game. He hijacked the ball from the outer side of his team's penalty area and then started In a sixty-five-meter-long lightning strike, several people went from one penalty area to another, and the football was scored into the Tottenham Hotspur goal.

Does he want to do it again?

Henry started.

George Wood changed his goal in the middle of the race and chased Henry, and now only he can catch up with Henry in the midfield.

Henry did not dribble in a straight line, but dribbled the ball horizontally, so George Wood could easily catch him.

But Henry used his experience and skills to sway Wood, and then changed direction again, attacking the forest team's penalty area.

Wood won't be thrown away once, he turned and rushed. At this time, Reyes was already quickly coming up to support. George Wood did not notice, and all his energy was put on Henry who was dribbling the ball.

Of course Henry knew that Wood's goal was himself. He had fought Wood a few times and was no stranger. He also knew that once he got this guy close, things would be troublesome. So instead of entangled with him, when everyone focused their attention in front of him, suddenly there was a stunning pass.

At that time, Wood was in front of Henry, forcing him to slow down, and it seemed that Arsenal's fast break was over. Henry made a posture to pass directly in front of the goal, allowing George Wood and the left back Layton Barnes behind him to focus on the penalty area.

Henry's fake moves were so realistic that he even deceived the televised footage. The footage moved to the restricted area with Henry swinging his right leg, but he did not see the football flying out. It was not until this time that the TV director realized that he was also fooled. The camera lens switched quickly, just in time to see Henry swinging his right leg. The toe of his left foot, which was supposed to be a supporting foot, stabbed the football to the right. There, Reye Si was plugging in behind him at high speed.

"Reyes! Beautiful pass, so inspirational! Henry's performance is exciting!"

There was a huge cheer at Highbury Stadium, Henry played a beautiful hand, not only won the cheers from the stands, but also made Arsenal's morale high.

Compared with his slightly playful pass, the defender's Nottingham Forest looks a little embarrassed.

George Wood was completely deceived by Henry. When Xiang turned to assist Barnes in defending Reyes, it was too late. Reyes did not stop the ball, but passed directly, sending the football to him with his right foot, which he was not good at. The middle of the forest team penalty area.

The football bypassed Pepe and Pikwe's defenses and fell to the back no-man's land.

Who will appear there? !

George Wood turned to look.

"Fàbregas!!!" the commentator shrieked.

Wood saw that Arsenal's No. 4, the slightly thin figure suddenly appeared on the ball's landing spot like a ghost, appeared in front of Van der Sar, then he calmly lifted his left foot and passed Reyes. The ball gently pads...

The football bypassed Van der Sar's hands who jumped to defend, and then fell into the empty goal!

All Arsenal fans wearing red-brown jerseys in the stands of the Highbury Stadium jumped from their seats with their hands raised.

"What a wonderful cooperation! A wonderful goal! This is a typical Arsenal attack. Nottingham Forest is played around by them! Fabregas, Henry, Reyes, Fabregas! Perfect cycle, Arsenal 1:0 lead! They had a start that couldn't be better!"

The Arsenal players rushed to celebrate Fabregas, Henry and Reyes ran past George Wood, open their arms. Wood stood on the spot, keeping a posture of twisting and looking back, watching their backs and biting his lips tightly. He missed that kid...

At the same time off the court, Dunn also turned his attention to Arthur Wenger, who was celebrating with the assistant coach. Arsenal scored the first goal, which means that the game has entered the track Wenger most hopes to see in the next time.

The situation is not good.

Wenger, who had finished celebrating with the assistant coach, also noticed that someone was looking at him. He turned his gaze to the forest team coaching bench and smiled at Dunn.

Dunn looked away.

Wenger turned around and said to assistant coach Patrice: "Look, Pat. As I said, we need to absorb some of the strengths of others, but at the same time we have to maintain our own style. This is an Arsenal goal. We. My old friend has troubles."

Leshaha laughed. (To be continued, if you want to know the future, please visit WWW.CMFU.COM, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!)
