NOVEL NEXT Chapter 128
"This guy is a few years older than me, and it makes me feel weird that he keeps calling me senior." Chen Huan pointed at the video of Son Heung-min and introduced him to Timothy.
"Why is that?" Timothy also felt very strange.
Chen Huan exited the video and reluctantly explained with his limited knowledge of South Korea:"Seniority is a serious issue in South Korea. I joined the Premier League before him and became famous earlier, so he thinks I am his senior."
""Okay." Timothy hummed softly. It was evening now. Snow was rustling outside the window. The fireplace in the villa made a soft"crackling" sound of burning firewood. She leaned her head on Chen Huan's shoulder and continued to look at the screen of her mobile phone.
"This Sun has been following you for a long time," At this time, Timothy noticed that Son Heung-min's account with 20 million followers appeared in the fan column of Chen Huan's social platform,"Should we follow him back?"
"Yes, although I don't like South Korea, I feel pretty good about Son Heung-min." Chen Huan said, and followed Son Heung-min back.
About three or four seconds later, Son Heung-min sent a private message. There was no specific content, just a small string of excited expressions.
"This guy is quite funny." Timothy commented
……
On January 11, Arsenal beat Stoke City 3-2 in the 21st round of the Premier League.
In the post-match interview, the reporter mentioned the assist that Sanchez made from the wing in the second minute of stoppage time in the second half.
"At that time, we all thought that the ball had almost gone out of the goal. What supported you to grit your teeth and rush forward to save the ball at the last moment, and then pass it to the middle? Because we all noticed that your legs had cramps after you passed the ball, and you couldn't even stand and see the ball go into the goal."
"That's a good question," Wenger interrupted with a smile before Sanchez answered,"Sanchez has been working very hard recently, and I'm curious, too."
Sanchez smiled at Wenger, ruffled his messy hair and then answered,"Remember what Manchester United's Chen did when we were playing against Manchester United and we were far ahead of them? He had no distractions and just wanted to win, even if he was behind or it was an impossible opportunity, he would try. Chen and I had a brief exchange after the game, which benefited me a lot."
A burst of whispers immediately rang out in the conference room. Although Arsenal and Manchester United cannot be said to be mortal enemies, the relationship between the two teams was never good at the time.
But at this moment, Sanchez actually praised a Manchester United player openly after the game, which surprised everyone.
The only one who was not surprised was Wenger, who was sitting next to Sanchez.
"Putting aside the relationship with the club, Chen is an excellent player and there are many things we can learn from him. Wenger smiled gently and said:"We also paid attention to this young player from Longguo at that time. Yes, we almost signed him at that time."
……
On January 12, the snow finally stopped.
The lights in Old Trafford were on that day, and Manchester United fans arrived on time to cheer for their favorite team. In the 21st round of the Premier League, Manchester United once again faced Southampton at home.
"Southampton is ranked 6th in the league this season and has the same points as Liverpool, so I hope we can all cheer up in this game and try our best to get 3 points, understand?"Before the game, in the Manchester United locker room, head coach Van Gaal had completed the tactical arrangement, but at the end he couldn't help but remind the players again.
"Got it." The players responded loudly.
""Okay, let's go." Van Gaal clapped his hands, encouraging the players' fighting spirit for the last time.
In this game, Di Maria and Van Persie, who had been injured before, also recovered and returned to the team ahead of schedule, and both of them appeared in the starting lineup.
The two teams lined up in the player tunnel, and then walked out of the tunnel to the field with the captains of each team to the sound of music.
Southampton's head coach Puel stood in front of the coach's seat, looking at Chen Huan who was walking onto the court with the ball boy, and a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Puel shifted his gaze to look at the three central midfielders he sent out for this game. Since the last game was won by Manchester United at home, Puel has been thinking about how to limit Chen Huan. After several simulations on the training ground, he finally found a possible way to limit Chen Huan.
Send a player who dares not do anything on the court and just stares at Chen Huan. The
French midfielder Schneiderlin, who was wearing the No. 4 jersey, seemed to notice the head coach's gaze and turned his head to look at the head coach.
The French player, who is comfortable in both the central defender and defensive midfielder positions, nodded slightly at Puel.
……
Carrick held the ball in the backcourt of Manchester United and passed it to Chen Huan in front of him. Just before Chen Huan was about to receive the ball, the tall Schneiderlin behind him raised his foot and kicked the ball directly out of the sideline.
"Are you planning to stick to me tonight?" Chen Huan turned his head and glanced at Schneiderlin.
"That's right, my task today is to limit you."Schneiderlin didn't look at Chen Huan, but put one hand on Chen Huan's vest, and looked at Luke Shaw who was preparing to throw the ball on the side.
""Okay, you're so cruel." Chen Huan replied to Schneiderlin with gritted teeth.
Rooney received the hand-thrown ball from Luke Shaw. After holding the ball, he glanced at Chen Huan, but found that Schneiderlin was still sticking to Chen Huan. If he passed the ball now, the chance of Schneiderlin preempting and disrupting it would be greater.
Rooney finally passed the ball to Valencia's wing, intending to let the opponent find an opportunity on the wing.
……
"Schneiderlin did a good job in limiting Chen Huan in this game. He was like Chen Huan's shadow. Wherever Chen Huan appeared, he would appear there."
On the Longguo Sports Channel, Coach Zhang smiled and said as he watched the screen showing Chen Huan and Schneiderlin communicating.
"Yes, the French midfielder is now valued at 28 million euros on the German transfer website, which is not a small amount. Southampton coach Puel really spent a lot of money to send him to defend Chen Huan one-on-one."Xiao Zhan introduced
"Yes, in fact, Schnedlin's ability to link up in the midfield and backcourt, especially his short pass ability, is quite good, but in this game, in order to keep an eye on Chen Huan, he has completely given up cooperating with his teammates."
"Of course, if he can completely restrict Chen Huan, then this step of tactical sacrifice is also a good one." Xiao Zhan said.
