Modric didn't even know what kind of mood he was walking into the Arsenal dressing room.
Everyone looked at him with strange eyes. Even captain Vermaelen didn't come out to receive him immediately this time, making the atmosphere in the locker room a bit awkward.
Lin Yun was the first to extend an olive branch, stepped forward and extended his hand, "Luka, welcome to Arsenal."
Modric glanced at him gratefully and quickly reached out to hold it, "Thank you, I'm glad to be here too."
He has a shy personality, and he just suffered a blow at Real Madrid. He came to Arsenal, a place that is a bit complicated for him. If Lin Yun didn't take the initiative, he might not know how to get out of the first place. step.
Lin Yun's words seemed to wake everyone up, and others quickly expressed their welcome.
They don't care what Modric does at Real Madrid, they only know that this guy was really good at Tottenham, and that's enough.
According to the unspoken rules on the court, Modric should play No. 10 or No. 8, but No. 10 is now worn by a small threat, and No. 8 belongs to Arteta. One is the prince, and the other is Of course, it was impossible for the vice-captain to take it off and wear it for him, so Modric could only choose No. 20, which was more pleasing to the eye, among the remaining ones.
Today's training was mainly for the European Super Cup. Modric, who had just arrived, entered the squad, but did not enter the starting lineup. However, Wenger still put him on the main side during training.
Just to see if there could be a reaction between him and Lin Yun.
There will be an expedition soon, so we will only play a seven-man field, and the time will only be 40 minutes.
At this time, of course Lin Yun will not practice any more right-foot inversion, but will show his true strength.
So Modric was a little scared.
At the beginning of the training match, he was still a little reluctant to let go, but his teammates wanted to see how good he was, so they were very active in playing ball for him.
Modric also knew that he had to show some strength to gain a foothold here, so he worked very hard. Unfortunately, he worked too hard, and the first through ball was a bit too wide.
The lead was given a little too much and it almost looked like he was passing the ball to the opposing goalkeeper.
He raised his hand in embarrassment, wanting to express his apology to Lin Yun, but as soon as he raised his hand, Lin Yun had already turned around and rushed out.
Riding at the top of the wind and lightning.
The defender only pursued him for two steps before he stopped angrily.
When Lin Yun got the ball, he even had time to make a fake move, deceiving the goalkeeper to the side before shooting into the empty goal.
His teammates were all used to it, and he didn't take it seriously. He even walked up to Modric and raised his hands in the air: "Good pass."
"Um..." Modric could only raise his hand and slap him hard, but he was an honest person after all, so he told the truth, "Actually, I passed the ball too big, but I didn't expect you to be so fast."
"You just need to pass the ball to the most appropriate place," Lin Yundao said. "If I can't catch it, that's my problem, but if you can't pass it..."
"That's my problem," Modric nodded. "I remember, Lin."
He is not a pig, of course he knows what his position is in this team.
Passing the ball to Lin Yun at the most appropriate time and location is his greatest value.
Boulder on the sidelines glanced at Wenger and shrugged, "Is this why you must choose Modric?"
Otherwise, someone can be a famous coach, but you can only be an assistant. Wenger knew clearly that Modric's pass was actually a pass, but he didn't expect it to be right.
"He has proven himself at Tottenham. I never worry about whether he can adapt to the Premier League. I only worry about whether he can keep up with Lin's rhythm," Wenger said. "You probably don't know that Lin has always been the one adapting to others. , and now Luka is asked to adapt to him, which is not easy for him."
"..." Boulder had an astonished expression on his face and pointed at the court, "But he seems to be doing well?"
The substitute team just kicked off and was intercepted by Modric, and then he took the ball and made a mark in the midfield.
Lin Yun had already rushed forward and was quickly level with the last defender.
Modric no longer hesitated and immediately passed the ball over the top.
Lin Yun surpassed the defender almost at the same time, then stopped the overhead ball lightly and easily pushed the ball into the goal.
"It's so comfortable!" Lin Yun secretly praised, ran back to the midfield, and the two of them exchanged palms again.
"Beautifully passed on!"
"What a great fight!"
Wilshere looked at the two people who were so close together, and suddenly felt empty...
As the game continued, the opponent naturally did not dare to let the two of them connect at will, and quickly stepped up the interception. However, Modric was still able to miraculously find Lin Yun again and again. The two of them seemed to have cooperated countless times before, and it was natural.
Wenger was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.
Fifty million euros, when has Arsenal ever been so generous?
Fortunately, the money should not have been wasted. This Croatian seems to be worth the price...
The next day, the whole team set off, but they were divided into two groups. One group went to adapt to the venue in advance and prepare to participate in the European Super Cup, and the other group went to participate in this season's Champions League draw ceremony.
There is only one day difference between the two, which means that Wenger and Mourinho will have to rush here overnight after attending the draw ceremony to participate in the European Super Cup the next day.
In fact, there is no need to travel between two places, because the Champions League draw ceremony will be held in Monaco, but the European Super Cup, which has been held in Monaco before, will be moved away from this year, so we can only play like this.
At 17:45 pm on August 29, local time, Grimaldi Convention Center in Monaco.
As the biggest winner in European football last season, Arsenal and his team are high-spirited and attract the biggest spotlight wherever they go.
Lin Yun did not go to the Czech Republic to prepare for the game with his teammates, but followed Wenger here.
Because in addition to the Champions League draw, various European awards from last season will also be awarded here tonight, among which the best player in Europe is the highlight.
Whether as a core member of the Champions League champions or the top scorer in the Champions League, Lin Yun is a popular candidate to win the best player in Europe.
Mendes was even more excited than Lin Yun.
Mourinho has won the best coach and Cristiano Ronaldo has won the best player. If Lin Yun can also win this award, then he will have three of the best in Europe at the same time!
This is the rhythm of heaven.
In order to prevent the Sneijder tragedy from happening again in 2010, Mendes has been actively running these days. He is not only doing his homework for the media, but also jointly putting pressure on Arsenal's major sponsors. Anyway, it must not happen. moth.
All the big names in world football gathered together, and Ferguson naturally came to the scene.
The three old enemies of the Premier League stood together. You looked at me and I looked at you. In the end, Ferguson was the first to laugh out loud, and then Wenger and Mourinho followed suit. The three old fools seemed to have lost their minds. They were so crazy that no one knew what they were laughing at.
"Hello everyone, welcome to the draw ceremony for the 2013-2014 UEFA Champions League group stage. This ceremony is hosted by British BBC anchor Pedro Pinto and Miss Switzerland Melanie Wenig..."
Before the draw ceremony began, a retrospective short film of last season's Champions League final was played on the large screen. The short film reviewed Arsenal's journey to winning the Champions League trophy last season in the form of an art gallery.
Lin Yun frequently left the country in the second half of the video, and in the end it even felt like what was being shown was his personal documentary.
There's no way around it, it's just too brilliant.
Almost every time Arsenal is able to eliminate its opponents, it is because of his final decision.
The last shot is the moment when the Arsenal team lifts the Champions League trophy.
It was clearly Vermaelen who was holding the cup, but the focus of everyone's eyes was fixed on the handsome guy standing at the far side with a silly smile.
The camera also showed Lin Yun in the audience at the right time.
He and Messi sit in the front row, and they are also the focus of the entire football world at this moment.
Lin Yun, Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo respectively entered the top three in the selection of the best players in Europe. However, Cristiano Ronaldo was absent for some reason, so only Lin Yun and Messi sang in today's scene.
Everyone is secretly lamenting the confusion of fate.
Who would have thought that just half a year ago, this kid was just a substitute for the Reading youth team...
After the screening of the short film, McNeil, who once led the Scottish powerhouse Celtic to win the Champions League trophy, walked into the draw ceremony holding the trophy in hand.
Under the auspices of UEFA Secretary General Infantino, the draw ceremony officially began.
The first draw guest is Portuguese legendary star and Champions League ambassador Figo.
Infantino first introduced the rules of the draw. The 32 teams are divided into 4 levels and divided equally into 8 groups. Teams in the same group and in the same league will not meet.
McNeil and Figo placed Arsenal in Group F, then the two placed Chelsea in Group E, Real Madrid in Group B, Bayern in Group D, Barcelona in Group H, and Benfica in Group C. Group, Porto was assigned to Group G and Manchester United was assigned to Group A.
At this point, the draw for the first-tier teams in the Champions League group stage has been completed.
The second draw guest was Dutch legend Cruyff. He and Figo were responsible for the draw of the second-tier teams.
There are also several strong teams at this level, AC Milan, Juventus, Paris Saint-Germain, Atletico Madrid...
Then the famous England star Owen came on stage and completed the third round draw with Figo.
A scene appeared that made the whole audience into an uproar.
Teams in the third tier have been drawn out and placed into various groups, leaving only Group F where Arsenal is still vacant. Among the teams in the third tier, only Dortmund has not been drawn.
One is the Champions League champion last season, and the other is the Champions League runner-up last season.
The expressions of people from both clubs were very exciting.
In the studios of major TV stations, the hosts have also started eating melon mode.
"Haha, only Group F and Dortmund are left. Irving is so lucky! In this way, last season's champion and runner-up will meet again in this season's group stage. I wonder if Dortmund can avenge the final... …”
"Poor Marseille, they are also placed in Group F. If you ask me, it would be ridiculous to put Dortmund in the third tier, but who allowed them to have so many points in the European War?"
Then Dortmund star Sosa came on stage and drew out the fourth-tier team to complete the final step.
The draw results for the 2013-2014 UEFA Champions League group stage are freshly released.
In the end, Real Madrid and Juventus, old enemies, met in the group stage, Bayern Munich and Manchester City were assigned to Group D, and Barcelona met last season's knockout opponent AC Milan in the group stage.
The last unlucky guy in Group F is Naples. They will form a death group with Arsenal, Marseille, and Dortmund.
"The four participating teams in the Premier League and the four participating teams in the Bundesliga are all divided into a group. Arsenal and Dortmund, Manchester City and Bayern Munich, Manchester United and Bayer Leverkusen, Chelsea and Schalke 04... It seems The theme of this Champions League group stage will be the continuation of last season’s Champions League final, which is the showdown between England and Germany!”
"What follows is an exciting awards ceremony..."
Damn it, I forgot to write down the protagonist’s birthday. The setting is August 16th, which happens to be the start of the Premier League... It’s not easy to finally become an adult.
