Chapter 153
The game was a big success, but the fans were not calm.
In this game, the old captain Mertesacker was not arranged in the starting lineup, so when the players approached the stadium, it was Lei Ming who led the Arsenal team into the stadium with his head held high.
When Lei Ming walked in front and led the team into the stadium, the whole Emirates Stadium was shaken, and the red and white Arsenal fans welcomed the arrival of the new captain with a human wave.
This was the first time that Lei Ming appeared in the Emirates Stadium as the captain. For this, both the fans and Lei Ming himself were not calm.
"Welcome our new captain! Lei~~~"
In the fans' stands, almost all four directions put up such a particularly conspicuous slogan, which surprised Lei Ming.
Originally, he was a little worried about walking into the Emirates Stadium as the captain, worried that some fans would resist him. After all, his age was there, and he was a player who had just arrived at Arsenal, so it was normal for some people to dislike him.
But what he didn't expect was that Arsenal fans seemed to like him quite a lot.
"Oh~~~~~~"
"Oh~~~~~~"
"Oh~~~~~~"
When he slowly turned around, facing the stands around the stadium, smiling and waving his arms, he seemed to have turned into a star in the center of the stage, emitting an extremely dazzling light.
At this moment, the enthusiastic fans on the opposite stands also gave him the warmest response without hesitation.
This feeling was both strange and novel to him - he had never experienced such a scene before.
However, today, in the Emirates Stadium, which is known as the holy land of football, he actually felt the love and support from thousands of fans in person!
The tsunami-like cheers, thunderous applause, and the waves of people that rose and fell, like a huge torrent, surrounded him tightly, making him deeply intoxicated and unable to extricate himself...
At this moment, he finally understood why so many people were so obsessed and fanatical about football; at this moment, he truly realized the responsibility and honor of being a professional player; at this moment, he secretly made up his mind to repay these lovely and respectable fans with his actual actions! Because only in this way can he live up to their heavy trust and expectations!
In fact, even Lei Ming himself didn't know that he is really popular among Gunners fans now. After all, his performance is obvious to all. As long as he is a fan, he can't refuse an excellent player like him.
After Arsenal successfully acquired Lei Ming, they seemed to be blessed by God. The team is in excellent condition and has not lost in ten consecutive games, creating an amazing 10-game winning streak!
You know, in the last season, Arsenal's performance can be described as horrible, but now they can achieve such brilliant results. This is like a shot of strong stimulant for everyone, making every fan who loves Arsenal full of infinite expectations and longings for the future.
After the ceremony of greeting between the players, Lei Ming and Kane guessed the side under the leadership of the referee. In the end, Kane won. He directly chose the ball and gave up the goal.
After all, for them, playing away games, no matter which direction the goal is, it is equally unfamiliar to them. It is better to know the current situation and choose the ball. It is more practical.
Lei Ming smiled and naturally chose the goal that had been booked before the game.
Kane's choice was exactly what he wanted. According to the plan discussed by the coaching staff before the game, they would also give priority to the goal and give up the ball.
It can be said that in this game, both teams made sufficient preparations before the game, which made the game proceed in a seemingly tacit rhythm.
"Come on!"
Kane said politely after shaking hands with Lei Ming.
"Haha, don't forget, this is not only the North London Derby for me, but also my captain's debut. I hope tonight's game will be as exciting as expected."
After shaking hands with the other party, Lei Ming turned and walked towards his own backcourt, leaving Kane staring at the other party's back in a daze.
He finally understood that not only was he well prepared, but the other party was also prepared. For the next game, he felt that his body cells had been automatically ignited.
But how could Kane know that he was like a guy without clothes in front of Lei Ming, after all
The top shooter Lei Ming came into contact with at the beginning was Harry Kane. If it weren't for the fact that it was a product of the spiritual world, Harry Kane would probably be played by Lei Ming.
Even though they haven't seen each other for half a year, Lei Ming still has some of Harry Kane's offensive habits. He believes that he should have a better chance of winning this game. After all, as a player who has already been established, even if he changes, it is difficult to change his previous habits.
Not far away, Son Heung-min also looked at Lei Ming's back with a firm look, determined to get back on track in today's game.
......
"Dear audience friends, gentlemen and ladies! Welcome to CCTV Sports Channel.
In this late night full of passion and vitality, we witnessed a historic moment together - Chinese player Lei Ming, as the captain of the Gunners, led his team into the sacred territory of the Emirates Stadium.
Let us first express our sincerest congratulations to Lei Ming!
In the extremely competitive Premier League, he won the high recognition of the coach and the entire club with his own strong strength and outstanding performance, and was successfully promoted to the vice-captain of the Arsenal team.
Just look at the enthusiastic cheers and responses from the fans on the scene to him, how popular it is!
It can be said that he has proved his value to the world with practical actions.
I believe that all discerning people can clearly realize that for Lei Ming, it is just the adaptation stage as a captain.
If conditions permit, the old captain Mertesacker will certainly be very happy to pass on the captaincy to this talented young man.
In fact, Mertesacker himself has praised Lei Ming's leadership many times.
Especially in recent games, the Arsenal defense led by Lei Ming has shown amazing strength.
Even Guardiola's invincible Blue Moon Army is helpless in the face of such an iron wall of defense.
This undoubtedly fully demonstrates the extraordinary strength of Lei Ming and the entire team from the side. "
"Okay, we see that as the referee's whistle sounded, the game slowly kicked off between Kane's pass back to Son Heung-min. Although the game has just started, I already have a hunch that today's North London Derby will be very exciting. "
