[The Times: Give me five years and Arsenal will be the top club! In the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals, after Arsenal beat Real Madrid 4-0 in an away game, 17-year-old Chen Mo made wild remarks! 】
[The Telegraph: There is no doubt about Chen Mo’s talent. With his addition to Arsenal this season, the whole team has had a very subtle chemical reaction. However, the financial problems currently facing Arsenal are still too serious to make reinforcements in the summer window. , coupled with Bergkamp's old age, Arsenal's two wings will have big problems next season.
The most critical question is that after this year's Champions League, all the top clubs will be eyeing Arsenal players. What will Arsenal do to retain these players? They can't afford Chelsea's wages, nor can they give Real Madrid the influence. 】
[Arsenal Chairman David Dunn: There is no doubt that Chen Mo has a knight's heart, and we will not consider selling him. He is an important member of the team. 】
[Wenger: The financial pressure is indeed huge, but everything is moving in a good direction. 】
[Longguo Sports News: A tree that is beautiful in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. Being young and energetic is not a good thing]
[Japan Sports News: Wang’s awakening! The future belongs to young people. I believe that as long as all members of Arsenal work together as one, they will be able to overcome the high wall of the top clubs! We Japanese players still have a lot to learn! 】
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you guys really caused quite a stir."
In the evening, at the Madrid Steakhouse, looking at Chen Mo who was devouring food in front of him, and at Yuechi Xun who was getting ice cream not far away, Keli, who was wearing a red sweater, put down the newspaper, picked up a cherry, put it in and sucked it, "I said, , have you really decided to stay at Arsenal?"
"Anyway, I have no intention of leaving at the moment."
Chen Mo didn't even raise his head, and continued to cook the steak with his bow left and right. Keli rolled her eyes, pondered for a moment, and suddenly leaned her head closer: "Hey, let me tell you, do you still want to be teammates with Leo?"
"ah?"
Chen Mo was stunned, and Keli crossed her legs with an awesome smile on her face: "When I make money in the future, I will buy Arsenal and then dig Leo over!"
".I discovered that you didn't learn anything else when you went to the United States. You just bragged about what you learned."
"What! Looking down on me?!"
Chen Mo rolled his eyes and continued to lower his head to eat. Keli suddenly felt unhappy and leaned forward on the table.
Looking at the opponent's iceberg canyon and the little tiger teeth on his lips, Chen Mo swallowed, turned his eyes and drank some water: "I don't look down on you, do you know how much it costs to buy Arsenal? Let's talk about more than a billion pounds, where did you get the money? Just rely on your useless social software?"
"It's useless!!!! I'm so angry! Just tell me if you want to be teammates with Leo."
Feeling Chen Mo's gaze, Keli blushed and sat back on the sofa with her arms folded. Chen Mo swallowed the beef and raised his eyebrows strangely: "Of course I want to, but... let's not talk about it. It's impossible for you to buy Arsenal. Even if you Even if he buys Arsenal, Mei will not leave Barcelona, which means a lot to him."
"Well, it's one thing if he doesn't want to leave, it's another thing if Barcelona wants to stay.
It’s not like you don’t know how exclusive Catalonia is. I have researched that none of the players who joined Barcelona could stay in Barcelona forever as long as they were not Spanish nationals. Let me tell you, if you and Harvey exchanged their household registers, Harvey would be the one leaving. "
Keli pursed her lips in disdain, and Chen Mo shrugged indifferently: "Okay, okay, even if what you said is right, according to you, it will be many years before he leaves Barcelona."
"Isn't that great?! They have been in love and fighting each other for a lifetime. In the end, one of them fell into despair for one reason or another and defected to his old friend. The two reunited in their old age to kill everyone, telling young people that this is still their time! Wow! It's really Just thinking about it makes me excited!”
".Look at it less."
"snort!"
"What are you talking about? You are so excited."
Being poured cold water on her again, Keli rolled her eyes, folded her arms and puffed up her chest and stopped talking. At this time, Yue Chixun handed a piece of ice cream to Keli's table, rolled up the white hair on her forehead and sat next to Chen Mo. Chen Mo shrugged. Shrugging: "Nothing, just listen to this guy bragging."
"You! Ah! You're so angry with me!"
.
Keli was very angry, but thinking about making money, she immediately ran to catch the plane full of fighting spirit after eating, leaving only one sentence: "I will kill you with money later".
Chen Mo didn't know whether Keli could make money, and he didn't have much time to think about it.
The Champions League matches before the final have first and second legs. Historically, there are numerous examples of big wins in the first round and overturns in the second round. This Champions League is very important to Arsenal, and even more important to the players. Maybe only a few opportunities in a lifetime.
After the first round with Real Madrid, back in London, all the players began to prepare nervously.
At the same time, because they gave up the FA Cup and EFL Cup early, the league ranking has also slipped to third, and there is almost no possibility of competing for the championship. Therefore, it is obviously the end of the most tense season at this time, and Arsenal faces a much easier schedule than before.
However, physical pressure is not a problem for Chen Mo. Life is still the same as before, training, going home, teaching everything, and continuing to train the next day.
But since he said the words "Give me five years, Arsenal will be the top club", he has become more popular in North London. I heard Yuechi Xun say that sometimes her boss doesn't take her money when she goes out to buy things. , sometimes I will send more, and I can even receive cheering letters and candies from some children at my doorstep in some early mornings.
Looking at the letters written with crooked crayons, Chen Mo felt more and more relaxed, feeling a wave of kindness and acceptance from the people in this city.
The days passed like this.
On April 22, in the 36th round of the Premier League, Arsenal went to White Hart Lane to challenge their city rival Tottenham Hotspur. The North London derby has always been a heated atmosphere, and player injuries are common.
It was impossible to compete for the league title, and the second leg match with Real Madrid was just three days later. Even if it was a derby match, Wenger still only fielded most of the substitute lineup for this game.
It was also in this game that Bell, who was still three months away from turning sixteen, entered the team roster for the first time!
Directly set a new record for the youngest player to play in the Premier League!
There is no age limit for playing in the Premier League, but because of the tough style of play in the Premier League, almost all players are over 16 years old. For this reason, Tottenham fans who punched the cotton with their fists ridiculed Wenger as a "coward" who sent children to plug the bullet holes. .
but
After the game started, they quickly discovered that Wenger was not messing around. Bell, who is less than sixteen years old, still needs to be polished technically, and he is completely unable to handle physical confrontation. He will take off at the touch of a touch, but his speed is real. quick.
At first, the Tottenham full-back thought that the opponent was just a child and would not be able to resist a strong physical confrontation, but he soon discovered that he could not choke Bell without his body!
However, when the game entered the second half, Tottenham's actions began to become brutal, and the referee did not express any indication, Wenger decisively replaced Bell.
When he came off the field, this super-fast little guy received cheers from countless Arsenal fans and pats on the head from Chen Mo and others on the bench.
Time is like a turning wheel, moving forward day by day.
On April 26, in the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals, Arsenal faced Real Madrid at Highbury at home. The atmosphere of the game was extremely enthusiastic. You must know that this is the first time that Arsenal has reached the Champions League semi-finals in the century since its establishment, and it is still at home!
It is a pity that Arsenal's home stadium Highbury can only accommodate 40,000 spectators, which is less than half the size of stadiums such as Camp Nou, Bernabeu and San Siro. It seems a bit petty, but this cannot extinguish the enthusiasm of Arsenal fans. .
Countless fanatical Arsenal fans surrounded Highbury Stadium, with 30% inside and 30% outside, and the entire north London turned into a sea of red.
It was with the help of the police that Real Madrid's bus drove to the back gate of Highbury Stadium normally, and Arsenal's players did not disappoint the fans in this game.
With four away goals and home advantage, Arsenal was full of momentum in this game. In the 13th minute of the first half, amid the cheers of the fans, Henry moved to the left to receive a pass from Vieira. He broke through Beckham and Samuel diagonally and hit a blast with his right foot at the top of the arc, directly smashing Casillas's fingers.
Five goals ahead!
Real Madrid, which was already full of internal conflicts, completely collapsed, and the final score was fixed at 3-0!
Double beat Real Madrid in two rounds, with a total score of 7-0!
All Arsenal fans and football media went crazy. There were all kinds of news reports flying all over the sky every day. There were originally some paparazzi reporters who were planning to take secret photos of the private lives of Chen Mo and Yue Chi Xun.
As a result, he was discovered by a neighbor near his home and was driven ten miles away with a broom.
[No one can disturb our Crown Prince at this time! 】
In the face of these crazy fans, reporters did not dare to make mistakes. You must know that British fans are the most fanatical group known in the world. If you are really caught by them, a beating will be inevitable.
Chen Mo, who was exercising with Yue Chixun by the window, smiled helplessly when he saw this scene.
The days passed like this, and it was May in a blink of an eye.
On May 2, in the 37th round of the Premier League, Arsenal challenged Aston Villa away.
Aston Villa is a mid-table team in the Premier League, unable to compete for fourth place, and at the same time it will not fall into the relegation zone.
Such an opponent will not be too desperate and is most suitable for warming up. In this game, Wenger sent out his entire main lineup and finally defeated his opponent three to one away from home.
On May 7, in the 38th round of the Premier League, which was the final round, Arsenal played against West Ham United at home and won 1-0.
At this point, Chen Mo's first Premier League season after joining Arsenal came to an end.
As the core midfielder in the Premier League this season, he contributed 9 goals and 19 assists. With a slight advantage of one more assist, he defeated Lampard who provided 18 assists and won the 2004/05 Premier League. Assist king.
Arsenal is also ranked third in the standings and can continue to play in the Champions League next season.
However, these things did not attract the attention of Arsenal players and Arsenal fans. Everyone knows what they really want this season!
After much anticipation, the day finally came to May 18, 2005.
The last game of this season, the 2004/05 Champions League final, is about to start at the Ataturk Olympic Stadium in Istanbul, Turkey!
