Invincible Haaland at the start

Chapter 193: Sometimes it’s a “C” shape, sometimes it’s an “S” shape
Lin Yun signed his name on the new contract and announced that he will still stick to the Emirates Stadium. The biggest suspense in the transfer market this summer has come to an end, but there is still no shortage of large investments.

On July 7, Barcelona announced an agreement with Liverpool on the transfer of Suarez. Suarez signed a five-year contract with Barcelona and will form a new "MSN" trident with Messi and Neymar.

Barcelona vice-chairman Mestre revealed that Suarez's transfer fee is as high as 6500 million pounds.

On July 7, Real Madrid invested 22 million to purchase James Rodriguez, who became famous with the World Cup. The Galacticos added another strong player and reloaded to start again.

Two heavyweight transfers between the La Liga duo set off the market, and other teams followed suit. Although none of them resulted in large-scale transactions comparable to these two transfers, there were still big deals.

Chelsea purchased Cesc Fabregas for 3000 million, Diego Costa for 3200 million, Felipe Luis for 1600 million, and signed Drogba freely;
Paris Saint-Germain buys David Luiz for 5000 million;
Everton buy Lukaku for 2800 million...

Arsenal have made a major clean-up of their squad.

Captain Vermaelen finally took off the Gunners jersey and put on the Barcelona jersey.

Sagna, who had been threatening salary increases with transfers, finally failed. Arsenal introduced Luke Shaw and sent him to Manchester City without hesitation.

The contracts of Fabianski, Park Joo-young, Bendtner, etc. expired and they left on free transfers.

When someone leaves, someone comes. Compared to the people who leave, everyone's focus is more on the newcomers.

In addition to Luke Shaw, Welbeck and Kante, Arsenal also spent 3500 million pounds to sign Sanchez from Barcelona in his prime, and signed Colombian goalkeeper Ospina.

Having spent more than 9000 million on several transactions, plus rejecting Paris Saint-Germain's [-] million offer for Lin Yun, this Arsenal not only feels unfamiliar, but also intimidating.

They were already killing everyone before they made any reinforcements, winning the league ahead of schedule, defending the Champions League in history after the restructuring, and investing nearly [-] million this season. How strong must Arsenal be now?
Of course, transfers are sometimes a kind of gamble. There may not be a direct ratio between investment and reward. Everything still needs to be tested in actual combat.

Each team was recruiting players while conducting warm-up matches. Wilshere, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Luke Shaw, Welbeck and others who played in the World Cup finals were delayed for several days before reporting to the team. Lin Yun was absent from all these games. Wenger mainly tested new players in the warm-up match.

Unexpectedly, Wilshere, Welbeck, etc. did not know whether they were affected by the FIFA virus. Their performance in the warm-up match was mediocre, without any world champion style. On the contrary, Kante and Sanchez gave the gun fans an unexpected surprise.

Kante came on as a substitute twice and started once, fully demonstrating what it means to have great energy hidden in a small body. He almost single-handedly completed the interception and sweep of the entire midfield, which made Arsenal fans seem to see it again. Ever Evra.

Sanchez was very active in the midfield and frontcourt, and his performance was eye-catching, which also made everyone full of expectations for Arsenal in the new season.

Time entered August, just before the Community Shield Cup was about to start, Lin Yun finally returned to the team.

The moment he walked into the locker room, warm applause immediately broke out.

"Welcome world champion!"

"The hero returns!"

"Damn it, man, why do you stay in such good shape?"

Lin Yun smiled and high-fived everyone. When it was Sanchez and Kanter's turn, they were obviously a little nervous.

Lin Yun made his debut in February 13. In less than two years, Lin Yun has already won 2 championships, including a Premier League championship, two Champions League championships, and a World Cup championship!
Coupled with his status as a Golden Globe winner, he is definitely No. 1 in the world!
Lin Yun shook hands with the two like old friends and welcomed their arrival.

Arriving at the training ground, Wenger was already waiting.

Vermaelen transferred and left, leaving a vacancy in Arsenal's captain position. In several warm-up matches, Arteta, the former vice-captain, has been the captain on the field. If it were not for Lin Yun's performance in the World Cup, Arteta would have been the captain. It's natural to become the new captain of the team, but now, it's hard to say...

Sure enough, the first thing Wenger did after everyone gathered was to announce the candidate for the new captain.

"Lin," Wenger handed over the captain's armband, "I think you won't let me down, right?"

Lin Yun took it naturally, "Of course."

Everyone clapped and cheered.

Arteta could only continue to be his deputy, but he was the first to send blessings to Lin Yun, "Congratulations, brother, you will become the best leader in the history of the team!"

"Thank you," Lin Yun hugged him, "I will do my best."

After waving his hand and letting the assistant coach lead everyone to warm up first, Wenger called Lin Yun to the sidelines, and the master and apprentice started chatting mode.

From the injury on Lin Yun's forehead, he talked about their respective holidays, and then talked about the goals for this season.

"Triple Crown!" Lin Yun did not hesitate, "The real Triple Crown of the Premier League, Champions League, and FA Cup!"

"I'm very happy to hear this answer," Wenger showed a satisfied smile, "but I think I have to add one more: this year's Ballon d'Or."

"That's not impossible..."

Speaking of which, this goal is the easiest to achieve. After all, based on Lin Yun's performance in the World Cup, the Golden Globe Award is almost a sure thing.

After saying a few words casually, Lin Yun also started the first training session of the new season.

After all, he was the last one to report, so he could only conduct recovery training on his own first, and finally joined everyone's confrontation training.

After four 10 minutes of team training, Lin Yun showed a very good competitive state. He didn't look like he hadn't played in a game for almost a month. Wenger finally took reassurance.

After the training, everyone left the training ground in twos and threes, but Lin Yun waved to Szczesny, indicating that he would stay for a while.

Szesny came over inexplicably, "What's wrong, Lin?"

"Practice a little more with me."

"I'm very happy," Szczesny shrugged, "Why don't you find a few more people? I believe they all want it."

"No need," Lin Yundao said, "I want to practice free kicks."

"Free kick? Are you finally starting to take this thing seriously?"

"Yeah, I've actually been practicing for a while, maybe you can give me some advice."

"No problem!" Szczesny was confident. "Although I can't kick, you can always trust me when it comes to defending free kicks! I will tell you my thoughts from the opponent's perspective."

"That would be great..."

Modric and Wilshere were about to leave, but they stayed curiously after seeing this.

At first, the two of them hugged their shoulders and leisurely commented on Lin Yun's free kicks, but after more than a dozen balls, their mouths were no longer able to make any sound.

Szczesny sat helplessly in front of the goal, looking at Lin Yun with a depressed look on his face.

"Man, is this what you're saying you've been practicing for a while?"

"Yes, is there a problem?"

"Can I know how long you are talking about? One year? Five years? Ten years?"

"Um..." Lin Yun really calculated it carefully, "About ten days?"

"I have a request."

"what?"

"Can you take me with you when you go home next time? I also want to see the scenery of alien planets..."

"..."

Modric kicked a ball up without belief and lightly touched it a few times, as if he wanted to see if there was anything fishy about the balls.

The results naturally speak for themselves.

There is no problem with football, but there is a problem with people.

He couldn't help but look Lin Yun up and down carefully, "Didn't you say you went fishing?"

"Yes," Lin Yun said nonchalantly, "Didn't I send you a lot of photos?"

"Then explain to me what your free kick is? Where can the fish have such an effect? ​​I'll go fishing right away!"

Wilshere silently raised his hand, "+1+1."

"You don't know," Lin Yun said matter-of-factly, "During the World Cup, Beckham secretly taught me a few tricks..."

Wilshere couldn't hold it back after all, and rolled his eyes at him, "Brother, Beckham just taught you a few kicks, not possessed you!"

Szczesny couldn't help but complain: "Beckham may not have this kind of skill..."

"Forget it, I can't explain it to you," Lin Yun waved his hand, "You two, come here and be a human wall. Paper people are boring, and real people can better embody skills."

"What you're talking about is the human wall..."

In addition to free kicks, Lin Yun certainly did not forget to try an unsolvable inward cut, but it is really hard to see how powerful this thing is on the training ground. It still needs to be tested in the game.

The dead are like this, and the new season is getting closer.

On August 8, the sky was clear and cloudless. Arsenal, the Premier League champion last season, and Liverpool, the FA Cup champion, met at Wembley Stadium in London to compete for the Community Shield championship.

In the players' tunnel, Gerrard hugged Lin Yun hard first, then looked at his captain's armband and smiled: "Oh? Double captain?"

Lin Yun also lowered his head and looked at his armband, "Isn't it all the rest that you played with?"

"Hahaha, but I would rather you follow my path and become captain of both England and Liverpool."

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a series of unkind looks from the Arsenal queue.

Team Jie smiled and quickly said hello to Wilshere and Luke Shaw to cover up his embarrassment.

When the two sides walked into Wembley Stadium together, the packed house burst into deafening applause and cheers.

Almost everyone in the audience shouted the same name.

"Forest!!!"

Lineker chuckled and said: "I believe that for a long time, Lin Yun will be treated like a protagonist in any English stadium...well, except for White Hart Lane."

The congratulatory committee sitting in the CCTV 5 live broadcast room also said: "After Spain won the World Cup in 2010, Iniesta, who scored the winning goal in the final, became the national hero of the entire Spain. Since then, no matter where Barcelona plays, Iniesta has been warmly welcomed by away fans in La Liga's away games. Obviously, Lin Yun is now receiving the same treatment, not to mention that this game is played at a neutral venue, even at Anfield. Lin Yun will definitely get cheers from Liverpool fans..."

It's not long before the World Cup ends, but the fans can't wait for the game to start immediately because it is a part of their lives, a very important part.

“After nearly three months of truce, the English Premier League is about to be reignited again!

The Community Shield is an appetizer before the start of the new Premier League season. Since the transfer window has not yet closed, we cannot yet evaluate the signings of the two teams. However, judging from the deals that have been reached so far, Arsenal is rare in Leading the opponent in the transfer market.

Although Liverpool introduced Balotelli from AC Milan, they let go of the real-life Suarez, which greatly reduced their ability.

Arsenal has made some reinforcements on the basis of retaining the main framework of last season. This season, Arsenal has reached a higher level of strength and is still the most powerful contender for various championships!
Alright, let me introduce the starting rosters of both sides.

Liverpool 4-3-3.
Goalkeeper: 22-Mignolet;

Defenders: 2-Glenn Johnson, 37-Skrtel, 6-Lovren, 18-Moreno;
Midfield: 24-Joe Allen, 8-Gerrard, 14-Henderson;
Forwards: 31-Sterling, 15-Sturridge, 10-Coutinho. "

"Arsenal 4-2-3-1.
Goalkeeper: 1-Szesny;

Defenders: 3-Luke Shaw, 4-Per Mertesacker, 6-Koscielny, 18-Monreal;

Midfield: 8-Arteta, 10-Wilshere;

Midfielder: 17-Sanchez, 20-Modric, 16-Ramsey;
Forward: 9-Lin Yun.

It can be seen that Lin Yun wears the No. 9 jersey representing the main center in the new season. It is the same as the jersey he wears in the national team. I hope this jersey can continue his good form and good luck in the national team, like leading England. Like a World Cup champion, it will bring more glory to Arsenal..."

After the referee's whistle, the Red Army Liverpool took the lead.

The aftermath of the World Cup will have the greatest impact on wealthy clubs, because it will give players less rest time and shorter preparation time.

More than half of the players in the starting lineups of the two teams participated in this World Cup, and many of them even reached the finals. It was obvious that neither team was in good condition. Both sides made a lot of mistakes in the first 10 minutes.

Either the pass was too big, the coordination was not tacit, or the forced breakthrough failed.

Lin Yun is no exception.

After all, the training ground and the competition field are two different things, and he also needs to regain the feeling of the game.

The two teams looked evenly matched, and the game seemed to be heading in a worse direction, but when Lin Yun gradually became more active, Arsenal's offense began to glow with vitality.

Luke Xiao got the ball in the backcourt, and Lin Yun took the initiative to pull aside and switch positions with Sanchez.

The fans on the sidelines were suddenly excited, as if they had seen the scene of the two teaming up to penetrate the right flank of the German team in the World Cup final.

Luke Shaw also lived up to everyone's expectations, accurately finding Lin Yun near the midline with a long pass.

"Ten minutes have passed since the game. The two sides played very cautiously, and the game seemed a bit boring...Look at Arsenal's attack. Lin Yun dribbled the ball from the left, and Joe Allen stepped forward to press, but he was passed..."

Lin Yun passed the ball past Joe Allen. Gerrard seemed to have expected it and immediately came over to help defend.

Lin Yun deliberately waited for him to get close, then stepped on and pulled him, using an elegant Marseille slalom to teach the hero how to behave.

After passing the two men, Lin Yun continued to rush forward with the ball and quickly approached Liverpool's penalty area.

His original intention was to try his own unsolvable cut inside, but after Sanchez changed positions with him, he quickly broke into the penalty area and ran out of the gap well.

Lin Yun also wanted to see the quality of his new teammate, so he simply passed the ball low to Modric, who was following up in the middle.

Magic Flute kept passing the ball, and the football fell in front of Sanchez obediently.

Sanchez was overjoyed, immediately stretched his legs and volleyed back!
With a "bang" sound, the football was blocked by Skrtel's body as he flew toward him.

"...Lin Yun passed the ball to the center, Modric made a pass from the front, and Sanchez shot!!! Oh, what a pity, the football was blocked by the defender!"

"Lin Yun and Modric gradually found their form, the new players also began to integrate into the team, and Arsenal's offensive began..." Although he failed to score, Sanchez still let everyone see his strength, and the fans did not Being stingy with his own applause actually made Sanchez embarrassed.

He waved his hand at Modric and apologized.

Magic Flute just nodded to him, then turned back and ran to defend.

After being frightened, Liverpool's offense gradually improved, and they quickly returned the favor to Arsenal.

The football was passed to the frontcourt, Henderson overshot it, and Gerrard pretended to take a long shot, but quietly made a cross.

Coutinho suddenly stepped in and shot a signature cloud-piercing arrow from the left side of the top of the penalty area, which he is most familiar with.

The ball went straight to the dead center of the goal. Szczesny had given up resistance, but the Wembley Stadium goalpost helped him and blocked this extremely high-quality shot.

"Hu~~"

"Both sides each completed a very threatening attack, but unfortunately both missed the ball..."

The game gradually began to become more unrestrained.

In the 17th minute of the game, after Sterling hit the wall with Gerrard in the frontcourt, he suddenly diverted the ball to the other wing.

Coutinho passed the ball short to Sturridge before crossing the penalty area. The latter quickly changed direction, got out of the shooting space, and then pushed the ball in an attempt to send the ball into the dead center of the goal.

Szczesny reacted in time this time, fell to the ground and dived sideways to hold the ball in his arms.

The fans on the sidelines applauded and sighed together. Wilshere looked up and suddenly raised his hands high.

Szczesny saw Wilshere's action as soon as he stood up. Without any time to think, he immediately threw the ball hard in front of him.

Wilshere turned sideways slightly, stopped the ball, and then suddenly passed the ball forward with his big foot.

One second Lin Yun was walking back and forth accompanied by Skrtel and Lovren, and the next second he rushed out like an arrow from a string.

Skrtel and Lovren reacted in surprisingly unison, falling to the ground at the same time for a sliding tackle.

Lin Yun jumped lightly and jumped over Skrtel's leg, but failed to avoid Lovren's foot. He tripped over the latter and fell to the ground.

"beep!!!"

The whistle blew, and the referee hurried over, reaching for his cards as he ran.

"...Wilshere hit a long pass from the backcourt. Lin Yun succeeded in countering offside, but was tripped to the ground by Lovren. The referee showed the first yellow card of the game. Arsenal received a free kick in the frontcourt. Chance."

Sanchez and Ramsey ran towards Lovren, preparing to have a heart-to-heart talk with him. Modric stretched out his hand to pull Lin Yun up, then leaned into his ear and whispered: "Did you do this on purpose?"

Lin Yun looked at him speechlessly, "Am I sick? I don't want a single kick, but a free kick?"

Modric had an "I see through you" expression, said "haha", and gave him a look to let him understand.

Arteta came up and was about to take the free kick, but Lin Yun had already stood in front of the football without hesitation.

Brother Tazi said: "You want to fight?"

Lin Yun nodded.

"What do you want me to do?" Brother Tazi meant whether he needed to feint a shot or something like that. After all, Lin Yun liked to do this trick when taking free kicks.

"Just watch from the side."

"..."

There was another interesting scene on the court.

The referee Oliver suddenly took out something familiar to everyone and sprayed it on the turf in front of Lin Yun. Huge cheers immediately erupted from the sidelines.

"Hahaha, the foam spray technology of the World Cup has finally made its debut in England for the first time...

In this summer's World Cup in Brazil, foam spray technology left a deep impression on TV audiences around the world. This technology can help referees determine the position of the ball when taking set kicks, as well as the position of the wall, without affecting the progress of the game. , and greatly promotes the referee's law enforcement accuracy.

At the end of last month, the Premier League officially announced the introduction of this spray technology in the new season.

It is worth mentioning that Serie A and La Liga will also use this World Cup artifact in the new season. I believe that as time goes by, this technology will be further popularized around the world.

Of course, the reason why the fans are happy is probably because they are reminded of wonderful memories of the World Cup.

It may take them a long, long time to get over the surprise of winning the World Cup..."

"The foul spot is not far from the goal, so it is very suitable for hitting the goal directly. Arteta and Lin Yun stood in front of the football together, not knowing who would hit the ball."

Mignolet has not forgotten Lin Yun's free kick in the World Cup final.

Although the ball did not go in and was saved by Neuer, from a goalkeeper's point of view, Mignolet believed that he might not be as good as Neuer, so he was still a little bit concerned about Lin Yun's free kick. Terrified, he kept waving his hands to direct his teammates to get into position, and then signaled to the referee that he was ready.

Lin Yun put his hands on his hips and took a pose. After the whistle sounded, he took a deep breath before running forward.

The body tilted greatly to the right, the right arm swung exaggeratedly, and the inside of the left foot rubbed heavily on the lower middle of the football.

The eyes of the England fans on the sidelines lit up.

This posture is somewhat like Beckham...

The football flew up, drew an exaggerated arc, and flew past the far right side of the wall.

Mignolet breathed a sigh of relief.

From this perspective, football is out of bounds...?

"what happend……"

The audience saw a magical scene.

I saw the football bypassing the wall and suddenly retracting rapidly, drawing a trajectory that was almost equivalent to a "C" shape, and poured into the Liverpool team's gate in front of everyone's disbelief.

The entire Wembley Stadium was silent for a second before bursting into cheers.

"GOAL!!!!"

"Forest!!!!"

"Super arc, super free kick!!!"

“Lin Yun hit the goal directly and the ball went in!!! The football drew a fantastic arc, perfectly bypassed the wall, and then flew into the Liverpool goal!
The goalkeeper had no reaction!Arsenal lead 1-0! ! ! "

Lin Yun opened his arms and ran to the sidelines. Before Modric could transform into a Modric rider, Tazi had already taken the lead and jumped onto Lin Yun.

He shook Lin Yun's shoulders in disbelief, "How did you do it? This free kick can score 100 points! 100 points!!!"

Lin Yun threw him off and shouted: "How the hell do I know! I only know where the goal is, kick the ball in, it's that simple!!"

Modric was finally able to throw himself into Lin Yun's arms and shouted: "You still fucking said you didn't mean it? Huh? How long has it been brewing?!"

"Old Paper did it on purpose, how about that?!"

"It's not that great. You score goals and you're awesome!"

"Hahaha……"

Gerrard looked at the gunmen cheering wantonly, shook his head helplessly, and waved his hand to signal the guys to return to their positions and wait for the game to start.

Replays of the free kick began on various screens.

What happened just now was too fast, and no one had time to see it clearly, but they could still feel that this ball was so awesome that it had no friends. Now through the slow-motion replay, the exaggeration of this free kick is even more direct.

Good guy, this arc, this ball speed, this angle...

Wenger on the sidelines shook his head repeatedly, with the same look of disbelief.

This ghost kid really can always create surprises for himself.

As the game continued, Liverpool's morale was obviously hit, and the offensive progress was not going smoothly.

Arsenal became more and more courageous as they fought and gradually dominated the situation on the field.

In the 22nd minute, Ramsey made a pass from the wing. Lin Yun turned his back to the goal, jumped high under the double-team of the defender, and headed the ball back to the edge of the penalty area.

Modric suddenly stepped in and shot hard from the outside of his instep.

The football was ejected like a cannon and stuck on the crossbar. Liverpool escaped.

In the 28th minute, Arteta and Wilshere hit the wall and sent the ball into the penalty area, triggering a melee.

During the melee, Lin Yun suddenly kicked the ball towards the lower right corner of the goal with his heel. Fortunately, Mignolet was very focused and narrowly blocked the ball on the goal line. Liverpool experienced another close call.

Five minutes later, Arsenal made a comeback.

Modric and Sanchez cooperated exquisitely and advanced with the ball. Lin Yun retreated sharply and suddenly changed positions with Ramsey.

Modric decisively transferred the long pass and passed the ball to Lin Yun's feet.

Lin Yun took the ball all the way to the edge of Liverpool's penalty area. Facing the double-teaming of three defenders, he suddenly cut inside and then quickly hit the goal!
This ball was perfect from dribbling to shooting, but unfortunately it still lacked a bit of luck and went slightly wide...

"Arsenal's offensive was overwhelming, but they missed three opportunities in a row! They should have been more patient... Here they go again! Liverpool were completely overwhelmed!
This is a game between last season's league champion and the league's third runner-up, but judging from the scene, the two sides are simply not on the same level. It seems that Suarez's departure will still hurt Liverpool a lot..."

Mignolet's goal kick fell in midfield and was headed by Arteta to Sanchez.

Sanchez also headed the ball towards Modric.

Modric didn't bother to use his feet, jumped up high again, and pushed the ball in front of Sanchez.

After consecutive header passes, Sanchez ran with the ball down the wing.

Arsenal fans were very satisfied with the new signing's performance and immediately supported him with applause.

Sanchez hurriedly looked up and saw that Lin Yun was surrounded, and decided to do it himself.

Moreno stepped forward to interfere, and Sanchez suddenly flicked the ball to the center, which was also an inside cut!
Moreno followed closely, but seeing Sanchez running faster and faster, he had no choice but to fall down and sweep past with his feet.

Sanchez fell to the ground and the referee's whistle sounded.

"Beep!"

"Sanchez was tackled to the ground and Arsenal got another free kick."

"This ball is 27 meters away from the goal. It is not suitable for direct... Huh? Lin Yun comes up again. Does he want to take this free kick?"

Arteta looked at Lin Yun strangely, "Don't tell me that you have to shoot directly from this distance."

Lin Yun said nonchalantly: "Just give it a try, it's not illegal."

"Okay, as you like."

Lin Yun raised his head and took a closer look. It was indeed a bit far away.

He himself feels that his feet feel okay today, but it depends on his luck.

Players from both sides entered Liverpool's penalty area, preparing to compete for landing spots.

Lin Yun retreated and took a stance.

The whistle sounded, he took five steps and hit the football hard with his left foot.

Resolute, decisive, powerful.

Arteta heard a dull "bang" and subconsciously thought that Lin Yun had accidentally kicked him this time, but when he raised his head, he fell down.

The football flew out quickly, and then drew a strange trajectory.

It's not the big "C" shaped arc just now, but a strange turn similar to an "S" shape.

What is even more incomprehensible is that the football has almost no rotation, but it is erratic, as if an invisible hand is controlling it.

The wall jumped high, but no one could touch the ball.

The football flew over the wall and then plummeted.

Mignolet was in a state of confusion throughout the entire process.

He saw the football, but was completely unable to capture its trajectory.

The spectators on the sidelines were condescending and could see it more clearly.

Not only was this ball ridiculously fast, but its flight path was extremely weird. It seemed to be turning in all directions, up, down, left, and right. The overall trajectory was like a spring, and finally it flew towards the goal in a curved way.

Mignolet only had time to stretch out his hand, but it looked like he was saying hello to the football, which was useless.

The ball goes in.

Lin Yun scored twice from a free kick...

　Eight thousand words, two chapters combined into one haha
