Chapter 98 Why not the first captain?

  In the 30th round of the Premier League, Arsenal won Swansea cleanly in the away game.

   Throughout the game, Le Kai was in a relatively leisurely state.

  Swansea's desire to fight is not enough. For this reason, Arsenal played more easily.

   Actually, it’s easy to understand. After entering the 30th round, many things have already been decided.

  Especially for a team like Swansea who can't achieve high and low.

  Swansea, currently ranked ninth in the standings, is in an awkward position.

  The European theater has no ability to fight for it, and there is no pressure to relegation, and the FA Cup was eliminated early.

   It can be said that the task of this season is over.

  In this case, the player's desire to fight will weaken.

   After all, no matter how hard they try to fight for anything, it will be useless. Instead of this, it is better to spend a relaxing late game and come back next year!

   Compared with those teams that are desperately relegating, Swansea is stronger on paper, but the desire to fight is not strong, which makes it not particularly difficult for Arsenal to play.

   On the other hand, when encountering some relegation teams, Arsenal have to be careful.

   These guys can do anything to avoid relegation.

  Looking at the entire late stage of the Premier League, it is not uncommon for the relegation team to suddenly break out and stage a "rabbit team".

  The 90-minute game ended, and the entire Liberty Stadium was full of abuse.

   "Shameless! You don't play well at all!"

   "I have completely lost the desire to fight, you are just eating and waiting to die!"

   "Competition like shit!"

   "Go to hell! Disgusting bastard!"

  The home fans yelled at the players violently, and Lucky could see that the expressions of the Swansea players were not particularly good-looking.

   But what else can I do, I lose everything!

   On the other hand, Arsenal's side is peaceful.

  The away fans who came from afar applauded.

  Although they have just experienced the elimination of the Champions League, the hearts of Arsenal fans have become hot again.

  The reason is simple, Arsenal's impact in the late league is extremely violent.

   With only 8 rounds left in the league, Manchester United can be called a strong enemy.

  If Arsenal can maintain this momentum, it is not impossible to win the Premier League championship.

  Compared to the performance in the early and mid-term of the league, Arsenal's efforts in the later stage can be described as amazing.

   "Hey! Get one!"

   "Kay! Get one!"

  Arsenal fans kept urging Lucy to have a "three-punch celebration", but Lucy shook his head and refused with a wry smile.

   This Nima celebrated so presumptuously at someone else's home court, wouldn't he be beaten?

   Seeing Lucky waving his hand and refusing, the Arsenal fans were a little helpless.

   After rejecting the fans, Le Kai turned his head and looked over.

   Found Monreal standing alone on the sideline drinking water.

  Monreal is a Spanish fringe international who transferred at the buzzer at this winter window, serving as a full-back.

   After staying at Arsenal for more than a month, he finally got a chance to play after Vermaelen was injured.

   That's right!

   Vermaelen is injured!

   Lucky is about to cry to death!

  Arsenal players are bigger than glass!

   Cazorla and Arteta have just returned, and Vermaelen is injured again.

   Fortunately, Monreal, who had just transferred, performed very well.

   This is a gentle and shy Spanish boy who is also very quiet when he plays football.

  In this game, he played a key defensive role many times, and his performance was very good.

   "Hey! How was your debut?"

   Lucky walked over and patted Monreal on the shoulder.

  The latter was slightly taken aback, and he looked at Le Kai in surprise.

  He was surprised that the 'boss' in the Arsenal locker room would take the initiative to talk to him.

   "Not bad!" Monreal said with a smile in his not-so-fluent English.

Le Kai smiled and nodded; "Keep going, and remember to shout more during the game, you played too quietly, don't think that you will conflict with your teammates because of this, I know you just transferred and haven't fully integrated into the team, but I will help you."

  Monreal was confused, but he could feel the kindness expressed by Le Kai, so he couldn't help showing a bright smile and saying, "Thank you, you are a good person!"

  Lucky: "."

   "Let's go, let's go back to the locker room."

   Immediately, the two walked into the player tunnel together.

  As soon as he walked into the locker room, Lucky saw a group of Arsenal players gathered around Chamberlain, staring at their mobile phones.

   You don't need to look to know, these guys started to study the standings again.

   Lucky said unhappily: "It's useless to keep staring, can Manchester United still lose?"

   In this regard, Chamberlain turned his head and said; "Manchester United won!"

   Le Kai spread out his hands: "Look!"

   "But Manchester City lost!"

   "My forehead." Le Kai was stunned, and suddenly got up and leaned over, surprised: "Manchester City lost? Who to kick?"

   "Everton!" Chamberlain smiled and raised his scissors hands, and said; "We are second in the standings!"

  1: Manchester United, 23-3-4, 69 points.

  2: Arsenal, 19-5-6, 62 points.

  3: Manchester City, 17-8-9, 59 points.

   "Come on! Run!"

   "Back to defense! Back to defense!"

   "Arteta, run, don't be lazy!"

   "Step forward and block!"

   "Monreal, shout! You can't keep silent!"

  Arsenal's training ground is in full swing.

  A voice ran through the entire training match.

   You don’t need to look to know that this is Lucy’s shout.

   The Arsenal players are used to this.

  It’s nice to have this voice always telling them what to do.

  Compared to those dreary environments, Arsenal's training atmosphere is now very high.

  Wenger stood on the sidelines, and he looked at Le Kai's direction with a hint of joy and satisfaction.

  Beside him is Vermaelen. He does not need to lie on the hospital bed due to his injury, but he cannot do strenuous exercise. Therefore, he is also undergoing recovery training without affecting his injury.

Vermaelen glanced at the field, then looked at the professor, and said thoughtfully; "The team's second and third captains have not been determined yet. When I'm not around, you can't always rotate the players to wear the captain's armband. Bar?"

  Wenger didn't look back; "No rush."

  Vermaelen shook his head and smiled, and said, "Do you want to announce next season? Are you waiting for Kai? Let me guess, do you want him to be the third captain or the second captain?"

   Wenger turned his head to look directly at Vermaelen and said, "Why can't you be the first captain?"

   Vermaelen's smile froze.

   It’s not impossible!

   It would be fine to change to another head coach, but Wenger sold Vieira directly in order to support Fabregas in the top position.

  Vermaelen is confident that he has a certain role, but compared to Vieira's weight, he is a bit unqualified!

   Seeing Vermaelen's stiff expression, Wenger smiled and patted Vermaelen's shoulder, saying, "It's still early!"

   Vermaelen is silent

  He didn't deny it!

  Wenger took a step forward, clapped his hands together, and said to attract attention; "Okay, lads, today's training is over, and then I will name the people and report to the team manager's office!"

   Everyone stopped the training match and stood in front of Wenger.

  Wenger began to roll the roll; "Vermaelen, Suarez, Arteta and Kai! You four go to the team manager's office, and Martin Hughes will tell you what to do."

  After the training, Lucky and the others finished washing, and immediately walked towards the Arsenal office building under the leadership of Vermaelen.

   "What is this for? Why did you let the four of us pass?"

   Suarez was puzzled.

   Le Kai shook his head; "I don't know, anyway, I'll know when I go!"

  Led by Vermaelen, the four came to the gate of the office building and found that Martin Hughes was already standing there.

   "You are finally here, come with me!"

  A commercial vehicle was heard in front of the office building, and Martin Hughes beckoned the four of them to go up.

   After sitting on it with a confused face, Le Kai asked, "What are we going to do?"

  Martin Hughes turned his head and smiled; "The professor didn't tell you? Well, let's go shoot the poster!"

   "Poster?" Lucy looked surprised.

  What kind of poster?

Martin Hughes explained: "Due to the sudden transfer of Van Persie, the electronic poster at the front entrance of the stadium has not had time to be refurbished, and the team logo has been placed there throughout the season, so we have to make a new poster! "

   Lucky asked in surprise; "The four of us? The entrance poster of the Emirates Stadium?"

  Martin Hughes nodded affirmatively; "That's right!"

   Lucky is in a trance

  Last year, he was still thinking about when he would be able to board the poster on the outer wall of the Emirates Stadium. So soon, he will be on the poster at the entrance.

   Came to a studio where the poster was shot.

   Lucky and others put on their respective Arsenal jerseys, and then under the command of the photographer, they turned their backs to the camera, two by two, with their arms around their shoulders.

  Arteta is in a group with Vermaelen, and Lucky is in a group with Suarez.

  And there is an obvious gap between Vermaelen and Lucky.

   Click!

  That night, the electronic poster screen at the Emirates Stadium was updated.

  A very large poster with a length of seven meters and a height of four meters.

  In the middle is the Arsenal team logo, with Arteta, Vermaelen, Lucky and Suarez standing on both sides.

  They embraced each other's shoulders, with their backs facing the entrance, like warriors on the battlefield!

   And at the top is a short line of English.
