Chapter 209
"Hahahahahahahaha, this will definitely...definitely become...one of the most interesting games I have ever commented on in my life!" Eddie Gray was laughing so hard that tears came out. He tried hard to make his commentary sound smooth, but the effect was not good. "Norman, I have to say, it has to be Emmanuel. I am so moved. After leaving Leeds United for so long, his heart is still white, hahahahaha!"
Norman was also helpless. It was also the first time he saw a player inexplicably give up such a close single-handed opportunity in a game.
"This...maybe as you said, he doesn't want to be ruthless to his own team..."
····
With Adebayor's efforts, Arsenal wasted their most threatening attack in these 45 minutes. A few minutes later, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half of the game, and the two sides entered a 15-minute halftime break.
In the home team's locker room, the atmosphere in Arsenal was a bit strange.
One group of people would occasionally look at Lehmann with their peripheral vision, while another group of people, especially Van Persie, was arguing with Adebayor with a bad face.
"Emmanuel, can you explain to me why you jumped from the spot just now?"
"Robin, I thought you were going to shoot the ball yourself, so I wanted to celebrate for you in advance..."
"Bang!!!"
The loud noise from the door interrupted Adebayor's pale and weak explanation.
It was Wenger who came in. From the way he entered the door, it can be seen that he opened the door with his feet.
"Pop."
Wenger slammed the tactical splint in his hand to the ground with force, and the breath emanating from his body was enough to lower the temperature in the locker room by another two or three degrees.
He first looked at Adebayor with cold eyes, and from his tone, he could feel the anger he was trying to suppress: "Emmanuel, I need an explanation."
Adebayor knew he was in the wrong, and he didn't dare to look directly at Wenger. He just lowered his head and explained in a low voice: "Sir, I thought Robin would shoot by himself, so I wanted to celebrate in advance..."
"Stupid! Idiot!" After hearing Adebayor's explanation, Wenger couldn't help but spurt, "This is the first time I've seen such a funny thing like you in a professional game. Performance! Your teammates are running hard to equalize the score, but you choose to jump from the spot? "
"I..."
"Stop talking!" Wenger waved Adebayor to interrupt him, and then fixed his eyes on a little bald man in the corner of the locker room, "Theo, you play in the second half, go out and warm up now!"
Walcott, who will be 18 next month, pointed at himself in disbelief, his eyes wide open: "Ah? I play?"
"What? Don't want to!?" Wenger glared.
"Yes! Yes!"
After responding to Wenger, the ecstatic Walcott seemed to have a spring on his buttocks, and he jumped up from the chair, grabbed his vest and ran out of the locker room.
How could Walcott, who never expected such a good thing to happen to him, not be willing? He just didn't expect it!
Since he came to Arsenal last year, Walcott has been the fourth striker in Wenger's eyes. He basically sits on the bench in the Champions League and the league, and can only get more playing time in the League Cup or FA Cup.
And Adebayo can only look at Walcott's back, leaning weakly on his own wardrobe...
This is not over yet.
After solving Adebayo, Wenger turned his attention to Lehmann on the other side.
But after all, he is an old actor. Seeing that the situation is not right, Lehmann took the initiative to admit his mistakes to Wenger: "Sir! I already know I was wrong. Do you think I played more steadily in the next game?"
Compared to Adebayo, Wenger's attitude towards Lehmann is slightly better. After all, he is a veteran who has followed him for many years.
"Steady? Does this word have anything to do with your career? I warn you, Jens. If I see you dribbling the ball in the penalty area for one more second in the second half, I will ask Almunia to replace you immediately! Do you understand?"
"I understand!"
Although Wenger is gentle and elegant most of the time, when he gets angry, he is not much worse than Ferguson. So after hearing Wenger's warning, Lehmann nodded in response.
"OK! Come over, we are only one goal behind now, and there are still 45 minutes in the game. It is not impossible to overtake!"
After handling the two things, Wenger pulled the whiteboard over and began to arrange the tactics for the second half for his disciples.
On the other side, the atmosphere in the away team's locker room was much more harmonious. Li Shiguang gave full affirmation to everyone's performance in the first half.After quietly checking the players' physical strength in the system, he decided to keep the tactics unchanged and still emphasized to the players to maintain the intensity of fighting in the opponent's midfield and backcourt!
····
"Okay, welcome back, audience friends, the 15-minute break is over, and the players from both sides have returned to the court one after another. We saw that Arsenal made the first adjustment. It seems that Wenger still couldn't stand Adebayor's high jump on the spot. He killed him during the halftime break. The 17-year-old young player Walcott replaced him! Norman, what do you think of Wenger's adjustment?"
"Walcott? I don't have any opinion on this. It's just a normal substitution."
"I think what Leeds United really needs to pay attention to is Fabregas. Did you see that? He retreated after the start of the second half..."
