Chapter 215 Bergkamp's Artistic Football

"Actually, our recent game results are not bad." Eddie Gray paced back and forth, touching the stubble of his chin, "A week ago, we scored a goal here, let me think, no, it should be Arsenal Na scored five goals, one of which was on the wrong goal."

In the dressing room of the visiting team at Highbury Stadium, it was quiet, everyone was listening to the boss's lecture, but the anger of the players could be felt, and everyone could hear Eddie Gray's sarcasm. Before, Leeds United lost 1:4 away to Arsenal. If it weren't for Zigan's own goal, Leeds United would have lost all face. Now, they have come to Highbury Stadium again. After 90 minutes of the game, we are waiting for Leeds United What kind of ending will it be?

"I repeat, lose this game and we've got nothing for the season! The bloody media will be yelling, look, those idiots at Leeds United are nothing, I've seen it It's gone." Eddie Gray imitated the reporter's tone and screamed, no one laughed, and everyone had a straight face, "Okay, I know you are not satisfied, very dissatisfied, then, let's use this game to Prove it for yourself, this is the last chance, the only chance."

…………

On the other side, in the locker room of the home team, Wenger was saying the same thing, "For our opponents, this game is their last hope for this season, so everyone must cheer up... I Again, Leeds United is not a weak team, forget the 1-4 a week ago, think about our match at Elland Road in the fourth round of the league, pay attention to your opponents!"

…………

Players from both sides lined up in the player tunnel of Highbury Stadium. When waiting to enter the field, the lively atmosphere of the stadium could already be felt. The singing in the stands reached the ears and everyone heard it. Leeds United The players all seemed a little excited.

For this game, the players of Leeds United have already breathed a sigh of relief. Let alone the shameful score of 1:4 a week ago, it is what the head coach said. This game is a season for Leeds United. The last hope is enough to make everyone desperate!
No one wants a season of hard work to be wiped out!
Arsenal's strength is strong, so we eliminated Arsenal and entered the finals, which means that we are stronger than our opponents!
…………

Bergkamp is standing in the team. He started this game. The biggest news before the game is that Bergkamp personally confirmed that this will be his last season. After the season, Bergkamp Pu is about to retire, and if he wants to watch the artistic dance of 'Ice Prince' in the future, he can only sit in front of the TV and watch the previous game videos.

In other words, in this game, if the powerful Arsenal lose to Leeds United in an upset, this game will be the last FA Cup game of Bergkamp's career!
…………

If there is one player in this Arsenal team that Li Rui admires and admires the most, it is undoubtedly Bergkamp. Some media have also begun to say that Li Rui's performance on the field has the shadow of Bergkamp However, Li Rui just said that Bergkamp's playing style is not the same as his own. Besides, in the hearts of many fans, there is only one 'Ice Prince' on this planet. There is only one now, and there will be in the future!

Any newcomer bearing the name of 'Bergkamp''s successor will bear a lot of pressure, and this pressure may be unbearable.

…………

Li Rui looked at Bergkamp, ​​and the Dutchman smiled with a rare smile and whispered something to Fabregas next to him. It seemed to be the last reminder of his younger brother. During the conversation, Bergkamp also looked at him. opponent in this game.

Li Rui felt Bergkamp's gaze looking at him, and found that the other party was looking at him, but Li Rui did not pretend to look away as if nothing had happened. The two didn't even nod their heads. Li Rui didn't feel any excitement when looking at his own eyes. He is no longer a rookie, and his mind will go blank if he doesn't see a star.

…………

Following Albertini and Vieira, the two captains waved their hands, and the players ran into the stadium, and the atmosphere was overwhelming. Some people say that Arsenal fans are the quietest fans in England. Say this sentence No one has ever been to Highbury, there will never be 'quiet fans' in England.

On the central stand of Highbury Stadium, banners to retain Bergkamp can be seen everywhere, and more words of gratitude to the Dutch veteran.

Before the game started, the two sides lined up to shake hands. When Li Rui and Fabregas shook hands, they said 'HELLO' to each other. Unexpectedly, Fabregas suddenly said: "Li, I know you."

Li Rui was stunned for a moment. Leeds United and Arsenal had played against each other for the third time this season, so of course they knew each other. Li Rui replied, "I remember you too."

Fabregas shrugged. He was talking about seeing Li Rui running from the hotel in the away game against Leeds United. The next person shook hands.

The Highbury Stadium, which can accommodate 38500 people, is already full of seats. Standing in the middle circle, Li Rui subconsciously glanced at the stands. Determine the location of the VIP box.

…………

Today, a special guest appeared in the stands of Highbury Stadium. He is Lippi, the head coach of the Italian national team. This silver-haired Italian coach is communicating with the people around him. Notebook, not a single word written on it.

"Lippi should have come to inspect Albertini. To be honest, with Albertini's performance in Leeds United, he is fully qualified to be selected for the national team and go to the World Cup in Germany next year." Sky TV commentator Taibi guessed, Before this season, everyone almost forgot that Albertini was the deputy of the Milan team. However, this season, in Leeds United, Albertini led a group of 'big boys' and performed very well. It's hard to get into the top six, but in the FA Cup, now, we're in the semi-finals.

This also won the respect and love of many England fans for the Italian veteran.

Everyone knows that the national team will always be a pain in Albertini's heart. He is so eager to play another World Cup. This time, Lippi appeared at the Highbury Stadium, which made people have some good guesses. Although, it is said that Albertini was rejected by Lippi in the 2004 European Cup, the relationship between the two has dropped to a freezing point, but the fans still hope that the two can settle their suspicions and see Albertini in blue. T-shirt, appeared in the World Cup in Germany.

From where we're at, inside the stadium, the fans are holding up all kinds of banners to keep Bergkamp and thank him for what he's done for Arsenal. contribution!"

"This game may also become Bergkamp's last FA Cup game. Of course, Arsenal still have a good chance of qualifying for the final. The fans also hope that Bergkamp can hold the championship trophy. Proud leave."

"Then focus on the game itself, what do you think of Taibi?"

"It's hard to say. Eddie Gray used a single striker in today's game. It was an accident. I don't know what the effect is. Recently, Lee's condition is not good. This young man seems to be in trouble." Taibi Said, of course, what he said was rather cryptic. The so-called troubles refer to the so-called scandal with Jessica, "However, this game is the last hope of Leeds United this season. Under such circumstances, who I don't know how Eddie Gray's team will perform."

"The game is about to start, we will wait and see." Lineker said, "It will not be easy for Leeds United to advance to this game."

******************
After the start of the game, it seemed that it was going on as everyone expected before the game. Leeds United faced Arsenal's gorgeous offense and was suppressed from the beginning. Li Rui, who was the lone striker, was soon after the opening. It's rare to get a decent opportunity.

Bambi dribbled the ball and controlled the football under his feet. After observing the situation in the penalty area, there was no room for a good pass. However, Lauren came up to grab the ball, and Bambi had to barely hoist the football into the penalty area , the football was pushed out by Campbell and Li Rui.

Fabregas got the ball, Milner came up to grab the ball, but was dodged by Fabregas, Fabregas who dodged Milner immediately split the side, Pires inserted at high speed on the wing, and received the ball. ball.

Suddenly, the heat of the Highbury Stadium suddenly came up, and the Arsenal fans shouted Pires' name excitedly.

…………

Although Pires is an all-round midfielder, he is best at playing on the left. In this game, Pires played the left winger position. Seeing Pires dribbling the ball, Richardson's The reaction was pretty fast, and he rushed over immediately.

However, Richardson still underestimated the French veteran. Pires pulled the ball deftly, and when his long hair fluttered, he had already wiped Richardson who fell to the ground.

"Breakthrough! Pires! Beautiful!" came Tabby's high-pitched voice.

Pires was not eager to cut inside, he controlled the ball from the wide area, aiming to attract the attention of the defenders in the Leeds United box, and sure enough, Dewbury saved from the box.

…………

At this time, Pires made a fake move on the corner of the penalty area to cut in and shoot. Dubury immediately fell for it and shoveled over the turf, trying to block the shot, but it was a fake move. , Pires beautifully buckled the football back, avoided Dubury's tackle, and cut directly into the penalty area.

Now, standing in front of Pires is Bambi, who came to replace him. I saw that Pires swung his left foot behind the ball and made a fake pass. Bambi was really fooled, without saying a word Jump up and block with your body.At this time, Pires buckled the football back with his left foot, and there was another one!
The Arsenal fans at Highbury erupted into cheers for Pires' brilliant run of feats.

…………

In front of goal, Carson looked tense, his arms outstretched and his weight low to seal the near corner.

At this time, Pires suddenly swiped the football to the middle and split the ball!
Bergkamp, ​​who was inserted in the middle, tapped the football lightly with his heel while running. Coloccini was so startled that he had no choice but to tackle the ball, but he watched the football pass by in front of him. Behind the goal, Henry, who was unguarded, just pushed and shot!
The football flew into the goal beside the unresponsive Carson!
At this time, only 6 minutes had passed since the whistle sounded for the start of the game.

"Yes! It's...goooooooooooal!! Wonderful...goooooooooooal!!!"

…………

"Damn! This is the goal?!" Li Rui stood in the midfield with his hands on his hips, looking depressed at the Arsenal players celebrating the goal.

"Arsenal scored! Goal! Goal in just 4 minutes, Henry's goal! It's a fantastic start to excitement! A brilliant goal combination! Assist by Bergkamp! With the state of the Dutchman, he can still play for another year, I believe this is what Wenger and Arsenal fans hope for!"

After scoring the goal, Henry ran to Bergkamp who assisted him with his heels. The two embraced tightly, and others came over to celebrate this goal. In fact, this goal, Pires' breakthrough from the wing It is the greatest credit, but Bergkamp's heel knock gave the whole offense an artistic soul. I believe that at this time, even Pires, even Henry who scored the goal, would not mind. Give the applause to the Dutch!
The game has just started, Arsenal scored, a beautiful goal, Wenger's team seems to be one step closer to the final venue, the Millennium Stadium!
