"Beep, beep~"
Robben drove his new car to the Thorpe Arch training ground and honked the horn several times in front of the security room.
An older man came out of the security room and looked at the car first.
Seemingly not seeing Robben clearly inside the car, the old man picked up the glasses on the table and put them on, then looked outside again.
In the new BMW two-seater sports car, Robben was not in a hurry, but opened the window and greeted the old man.
"Hey Gates, it's me."
The railing in front of the door was slowly lifted by the remote control. Robben tapped the accelerator slightly, and the car drove past the door of the security room.
"Aryan, is this a new car?" security guard Uncle Gates asked.
"Yes, I just mentioned it. Remember it, so you don't have to go to such trouble next time." Robben said loudly to the security room. After all, it was very windy outside, and he was afraid that the security guard was old and couldn't hear clearly.
"Come on, let's get two more points into Manchester City in tonight's game." Watching Robben about to drive away, Gates walked out of the security room and waved his fist at the BMW.
Robben held the steering wheel with his left hand, stretched his right hand out of the window, and gestured with his fist behind him.
After arriving at the parking lot, Robben got out of the car and found that his teammates' cars had not arrived yet. He should be the first among the players to arrive.
As for the coach, Robben looked at the covered non-motor vehicle shed on one side, which contained a conspicuous scooter. Of course, Lee George cannot ride this kind of motorcycle. After the novelty wears off, these two small motorcycles have become training ground transportation tools that can be used by all Leeds United players and coaches. The key is inserted on them.
Sometimes even security guards will ride this car to patrol the training ground when no one is there.
Robben took his sports bag from the passenger seat and prepared to practice by himself for a while.
After returning from injury, Robben actually only started once in the game against Chelsea. At other times, he came on the bench to find his form.
However, status cannot be retrieved simply by looking for it.
Just like he is coming back from injury, Barry's recovery condition is not very ideal. It is said that the team still hopes that he can make a complete recovery before playing the starting lineup, rather than rushing for success.
After Robben arrived in the locker room, he was ready to change into training clothes and warm up first.
"Hey, Aryan."
Robben was just taking off his clothes when he heard someone calling him, but because his head was buried in his clothes, he couldn't see who it was.
But the strong hometown accent revealed in his words immediately made it clear who the person was.
"Dirk, you're here so early." Robben finally put on his clothes, exposed his head, and greeted Kuyt.
"I'm still not here as early as you. I just saw a new BMW in the parking lot. Is it yours?"
"Yes, I just arrived a few days ago..."
The two first talked about cars, then about the team's new coach, and then about the team's tactics. They chatted from the locker room to the training ground. The two chatted while warming up and running. After that, the two conducted some training with the ball, waiting for their teammates to arrive one after another.
Basically, they waited until all the players arrived before the two stopped.
"Aryan, how about I pass some good balls to you tonight? Recently, the coach has been asking me to try to retreat to the middle to help Wesley organize the offense. I seem to have found a little feeling."
Kuyt said to Robben before he went to gather. At the same time, he also mentioned Sneijder, obviously wanting to try a little more cooperation between the three players in the team's game tonight.
"Okay, I won't waste your pass tonight."
After Robben finished speaking, he saw Gareth Barry on the sidelines listening to what the team's fitness coach Colin McGee was explaining.
^^^
“What a great pass!!!”
Sky TV explained that Andy Hinchcliffe had stood up from his stool. He was almost sure that a goal would definitely happen next, otherwise he would be sorry for this perfect pass.
"Robben continued to dribble and he received a through ball from Sneijder near the center circle."
"Faced with the attacking Wigan goalkeeper Kirkland, should Robben choose to hit the goal?"
"Fake action!!!" Hinchcliffe was about to lose his voice. He was about to see for the first time what might be the most exciting goal this month.
"Robben deceived Kirkland and pushed the ball into the empty net."
"It's really hard for me to describe this goal. It happened so fast. Leeds United immediately equalized the score. The score is now 1-1."
"Just after Wigan scored a header from a set piece through Heskey, Leeds responded immediately."
"Kuyt retreated to the defense near the midfield, cooperated with Smith to intercept the ball from Lanzate, and then immediately passed the ball to Sneijder on the side."
"Let's take a look at the return of defense. This is the moment when Sneijder got the ball and immediately made a through ball that penetrated Wigan's defense."
"No one expected Robben to come out of the diagonal and receive Sneijder's through ball."
"The next step is what we just saw, Robben deceived Kirkland with a fake move and scored the ball."
"Huh~" Hinchcliffe's series of explanations finally stopped. He took a breath and spoke again, "The cooperation between the three Dutchmen is simply perfect."
"England should be careful. If they meet the Netherlands in next year's European Cup, they must be careful with the three of them."
"By the way, there is also Robin van Persie, who played for Leeds United before. He is also a striker who can score goals. And, and..." Hinchcliffe stopped and thought for a moment.
And now after the camera on the TV showed the replay of the goal just now, it once again showed Kuyt, Robben and Sneijder who were walking back after celebrating.
At this time Hinchcliffe finally thought it through.
"Leeds United also has Dutch national goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar, and their central defender Matthiessen is also the main player of the Dutch national team, plus the current Manchester City midfielder De Jong. Leeds United has more than half of the Dutch national team, and they are all the main players."
"You can understand it this way, if there is a club that has half of the players who start the England national team, and the other half are also starting players for other strong European teams, think about it."
"In short, England should be careful next year, and other European teams should also be careful."
George Li and his assistants also ended their celebrations. They thought that there was not as much as Hinchcliffe, and they were just venting their frustrations.
Leeds United pinned Wigan to the ground for most of the game. At more than 60 minutes, Wigan actually played a set piece to cooperate and fell behind.
Fortunately, Robben's goal brought the score back, otherwise they would not know how to deal with tens of thousands of home spectators.
Wigan's goalkeeper Kirkland bravely blocked Leeds United's nearly all threatening shots from high to low. This time, Robben finally solved them in a different way.
Since the shot can be blocked, then I can just pass you and then shoot.
Robben's goal seems to have broken Kirkland's talisman today, and the latter is no longer brave.
In other words, Robben played more perfectly.
Ten minutes later, Robben received a cross from Arnesen who cut in from the left, and then he also chose to cut in.
After getting rid of Wigan center back Bramble, he shot with his left foot and once again broke through the Wigan gate guarded by Kirkland.
Leeds United also spliced two goals from Robben and defeated the visiting Wigan 2-1.
