Team Spirit

Chapter 106 (1 words, please subscribe) Missing Person Notice (Lu Kai version): Where are the Arsenal players?

"I don't know how a player of this caliber could draw fouls on Pennant."

“You can say that Pennant is less disciplined and often causes trouble, but in terms of playing football alone, he is a Van der Vaart better than Lu Kai!”

"Pennant should be the number one Golden Boy! He deserves to be sanctioned by Turin Sports Daily!"

"By the way, I heard that Dartford deliberately watered the Riverside Stadium to ruin it, just to disrupt Arsenal's passing and control and cause Arsenal players to get injured."

"What? That's outrageous! He sounded so pitiful before the match!"

"I really don't understand why someone like Lu Kai has fans, it's disgusting!"

For a full fifteen minutes, the entire world was within the sphere of activity of Arsenal fans.

Green Gunners fans have disappeared.

Soon, the second half of the game began.

Arsenal played relatively gently.

The team still primarily focused on passing and possession, but they weren't pressing as far forward.

Wenger emphasized the issue of injuries, hoping that everyone would avoid a major upset in this match.

In the 49th minute, Morgan won a long-range free kick for his team.

Lu Kai took the free kick.

Holt flicks the ball on with his head at the near post.

The football slipped through the goal.

Kevin made a sliding tackle at the far post to close in.

Unfortunately, they were a step too late and missed the ball.

Otherwise, a goal would definitely have been scored.

Kevin immediately got up and ran back to join the defensive rotation.

Tafradis looked at Kevin's tackle shorts and tears of envy streamed down his face.

This kind of superficial injury is both painful and not painful, which is very annoying.

In the 53rd minute, Lu Kai, seemingly invisible on the field, quietly crept up to Junichi Inamoto and successfully intercepted the ball.

Little Japanese, Xiaodao wanted to steal the ball back, but Lu Kai pushed him away and made a long pass to connect with Morgan.

The latter launched a counter-attack with the ball, but Arsenal's defensive formation remained very solid.

Instead of attempting a series of breakthroughs, Morgan took a long-range shot.

Too many shooting angles for the football were blocked.

Young Taylor easily tackled him.

"Pay attention! Get your spirits up!" Wenger came to the sidelines to give the players a pep talk.

In the 61st minute, Arsenal's left winger, Mardondo, made a run into the penalty area.

Jeffers played a through ball.

Ma Dong received the ball at the baseline and delivered a cutback pass.

Then they looked for the Gaspar that had been inserted from behind.

But this time, Lu Kai stayed close to Gaspar near the penalty spot, using his strength to push him away from the side.

This resulted in Gaspar not touching the ball, and Lu Kai then turned and cleared it with a long kick.

In the 64th minute, Jeffers dribbled forward and passed the ball to the left wing from outside the penalty area.

Mardondo met the ball with a sweeping cross from the outside of the penalty area.

Williams deflected the ball back.

After Maldondo retrieved the ball, he passed it back in a triangular pass and continued the attack.

Jeffers pounced on the loose ball and slotted it home.

boom!
Duff extended his leg to block at close range.

The football bounced towards the right side of the penalty area.

Ponnat and Tafralidis ran to the same spot.

Facing the ball flying across from the left, Pennant on the right assumed his teammate would let him shoot.

After all, he was the attacker, while the opponent was just a full-back.

But Tafraidis believed he was closer to the goal and had a better angle, so why should he give up the chance to Pennant, who had a worse opportunity?

boom!
Tafraidis kicked Pennant, but his movement was off, and he then kicked the ball into the stands.

After being kicked, Pennant first turned around and roared angrily to vent his dissatisfaction.

Then, clutching his calf, he turned and hurled vicious insults at Tafraidis.

Because the insults were so offensive, Tafralidis, red-faced, retorted with his own insults.

Jeffers, Shore, and other players from both sides were stunned.

"Shet!"

When Wenger saw his own players hurling insults at each other on the field, he almost lost his temper.

Peng Nante is not someone you can reason with!

Just recently, Pennant crashed into a utility pole while driving under the influence of alcohol and was caught red-handed by the police.

You said you'd just stand at attention and get beaten, and that would be the end of it.

When the police asked him for his name, he said it was "Ashley Cole".

It's important to know that Cole is currently Arsenal's rising star, a top full-back, and an important England international.

Who in the whole country doesn't know him?

After the incident was reported by the media, Pennant became increasingly unpopular within the Arsenal team.

He's the opposite; nobody likes him, and he doesn't like everyone else either.

I sneaked home during the group scrimmage training.

That's outrageous to the extreme.

Wenger wanted to protect him because of his talent.

But now Pennant seems to be taking advantage of this and going even further.

Wenger shook his head in despair.

No one knew that he had already decided to send Pennant away.

Although he is one of Arsenal's three best performing players so far.

Because if morale is low, it's difficult to lead a team.

Arsenal has just resolved its internal conflicts.

Pennant then quipped to Barton, "Look at you, a bunch of losers who are behind!"

Could Patton tolerate this?

Another round of mutual mediation ensued between the players from both sides.

Arsenal players kept apologizing because Pennant's behavior was truly outrageous.

Lu Kai also pulled Barton back: "I'll teach him a lesson. Let's play football first."

Patton then agreed.

In the 66th minute, Pennant dribbled the ball near the center line.

Lu Kai immediately ordered Xiao Li to go up and defend, while he attacked from the side.

Pennant didn't pass the ball; he insisted on getting past Shaw.

Ultimately, they were double-teamed and lost the ball.

Xiao Li dribbles the ball forward.

Pennant chased after him relentlessly, his anger rising.

After entering the offensive third, Xiao Li saw Upson come out to help defend, so he passed the ball back to Lu Kai in a triangular pass.

But after he passed the ball, he was still brought down from behind by Pennant.

The referee put the whistle in his mouth but did not blow it.

As the ball came to Lu Kai's feet, he dribbled inside with a quick touch and a feint.

Jeffers actively participated in the defensive transition, attempting to steal the ball from Lu Kai.

However, Lu Kai's right foot bypassed the ball and deflected it in the opposite direction.

He then quickly turned around.

With a Cruyff turn, he left Jeffers behind.

Jeffers collapsed to the ground on the spot.

Cover your ankle.

After getting past his marker, Lu Kai flicked the ball forward and looked up at the goal.

He bent over near the top of the arc, gathering his strength, with his arms outstretched.

Inamoto Junichi and Gaspar were blocked by Lu Kai on the left and right behind them.

They all put in their best efforts.

Lu Kai anticipated this exertion and used the force to unleash a powerful kick before being knocked down by the two men.

But the tiger has already been formed!
Swish!
The football is as fast as lightning.

He charged into the net with the force of a tiger descending a mountain.

Taylor's save was only halfway done.

"GOAL!"

"Such fast ball speed!"

"Lu Kai unleashes a powerful shot from the edge of the box, giving Dartford a...wait?"

"Didn't they go in?"

"what's the situation?"

The cheers at the scene came to an abrupt halt.

Instead, cheers erupted from Arsenal fans.

It didn't go in!

No goal was scored!

The football bounced and hopped behind the goal until it rolled to the advertising board.

"That shouldn't be the case; that shot should have hit the target area."

"How about looking at it from another angle? That's right, from this angle it's very clear, the ball definitely went into the net."

"Wait a minute!"

The replay appeared on the big screen.

The football, with its powerful and heavy momentum, rose rapidly and entered the absolute corner of the goal, lifting the top of the goal from bottom to top, from right to left, and from inside to outside.

Because the ball was very close to the goal frame, the net was under full force and was torn into several pieces.

The soccer ball, propelled by its remaining momentum, flipped over the net, slid down behind it, and bounced towards the advertising board.

beep!

The referee pointed to the center circle.

The goal is valid!

Arsenal players stood there, stunned.

Even though they came from wealthy families, they had never seen a goal like this before.

Is this... a shot that pierced the net?

"Jiezhibang, a well-known sports protective equipment brand, kindly reminds you that even the best defense cannot be completely watertight. When an accident occurs, please face this miracle of life with an optimistic attitude!"

This was accompanied by Huang Jianxiang's commercial break.

In the shot, Lu Kai leaps high into the air.

After turning 180 degrees, he descended from the sky, a god descending to earth.

Victory resounded from the riverside stadium:

"Luuuuuu!"

"1-2! Dartford pulls one back!"

"Compared to the number of goals, the quality of this goal was simply too high!"

"Even the Premier League has never seen such a violent goal, has it?"

"Lu Kai unleashed a powerful shot that shattered the goal! This is a true Gunner! A true cannon maker!"

The rhythmic chants of the fans then rang out from the crowd.
“Gunners!”

“Gunners!”

“Gunners!”

In the stands, Henry and other players exchanged glances.

Even they had to admit that, at this moment, Lu Kai was more in line with the word than they were.

Only Alfred on the sidelines glared and cursed, "Damn it! They didn't even change the net! It's all broken! Wellington United, those greedy bastards!"

Lu Kai's Tiger Cannon sounded the horn for Dartford's counterattack.

This is so inspiring!
Arsenal were indeed stunned by Lu Kai's kick.

Keep in mind that Lu Kai managed to block two shots.

That archery skill is incredible!
In today's football world, perhaps only Batistuta, the Fiorentina legend, could have made a better shot than that.

But Batistuta didn't seem to be able to get the ball through the net.

"Wait? What's going on? Why is Jeffers still lying on the ground?"

"Oh no! The situation is bad! Arsenal's team doctor has come back onto the field... unable to continue!"

"Kanu is warming up on the sidelines... Arsenal's substitute striker Kanu replaced Jeffers, and these are two players with very different styles."

"Kanu is 1.97 meters tall, 25 years old, and has a very high efficiency in scoring goals as a substitute."

"Wenger brought on Kanu, probably to reduce the team's ground passing in the attacking third and shield the pitch from interference with the team's attack."

"Oh! The referee has given Pennant an additional yellow card. It seems he hasn't forgotten Pennant's retaliatory act of fouling Sherry after he passed the ball."

“Penant was still rambling on when Gaspar went over and pulled him away.”

Dartford also substituted Holt with Eastwood.

The latter actively participated in defense, and his stamina was almost completely depleted.

In the 71st minute, after Lu Kai joined the defense, he made a forward run down the right flank, reaching a higher position, and then turned to ask Brad for the ball.

Arsenal left-back Swade immediately came up to mark Lu Kai.

He's not actually a full-time left-back; he's a midfielder, and he's 1.85 meters tall.

But Wenger couldn't bear to let Ashley Cole play such a rubbish game.

The team has many right-backs, but no substitutes for left-backs.

Only two midfielders, Swade and Van Bronckhorst, can fill in.

But Van Bronckhorst still hopes to secure a midfield position, whether it's defensive midfielder, central midfielder, or even winger.

Let whoever wants to play full-back play.

After all, he made a name for himself at Feyenoord and Rangers, so why should he have to play second fiddle at Arsenal?

As a result, Wenger, out of respect for Van Bronckhorst, started Swade.

After all, Van Bronckhorst is an important rotation player in Wenger's mind, at least he has to play in the FA Cup, while the EFL Cup can be given to a young player like Swade.

But in Van Bronckhorst's opinion, it's one thing that you don't let me play as a starter normally, but you don't even let me play in the EFL Cup?

What do you mean?
Are you telling me to accept being a substitute?
I'd rather go to Barcelona!

It can only be said that Wenger's approach to taking care of the players was misguided.

Back on the field, because Swade was a relatively tall defensive midfielder, Lu Kai had a sudden idea and leaned back against Swade.

He bumped his heel.

The football went through his crotch.

Lu Kai turned his back and ran past the sideline.

[Back-to-the-basket dribble past the defender!]
Sward tried to pull Lu Kai away.

Then Lu Kai's arm sleeves were slippery.

In addition, Lu Kai did not shake off his hand, but instead turned around and used a dodge motion to avoid Sward's obstruction, staying away from him and slipping through.

Pfft!
Sward fell forward.

Use your hands to support yourself on the ground.

However, the condition of the grassland is quite poor, and it is unknown whether it is soft, hard, or has potholes.

Then he let out a scream.

But the camera did not linger on him.

Even Wenger, who was standing in front of him, stared intently at Lu Kai's back as he completed his breakthrough.

Lu Kai was seen approaching the restricted area.

Arsenal's veteran captain Keown came over to mark Lu Kai.

Lu Kai swayed his shoulders from side to side repeatedly, making a "shoulder-lowering feint".

This, of course, couldn't fool the experienced Keown.

But Lu Kai's goal was to transfer him.

A good dribbler can completely shake off the opposing defender once you've drawn their attention.

boom!
Lu Kai fakes a shot with his left foot.

He landed on the right side of the soccer ball, his knees bent.

The right foot comes around from behind the left foot.

Tango-style footwork!
Keown was tricked and failed to intercept the pass, and he also slipped and fell to the ground due to a loss of balance.

The football traced a beautiful arc.

[Angel Legend]!
This is advantageous for teammates' header attacks!
Eastwood leaped up and headed the ball towards the goal, ahead of Upson.

The football struck the underside of the crossbar and bounced into the net.

“GOAL!!!”

"Two to two!"

"Two goals in five minutes! Dartford bounced back after Lukay's powerful shot and quickly equalized!"

"This is Eastwood's first touch of the ball in the game since he just came on as a substitute!"

"A very beautiful header!"

"Of course, 80% of the credit for this goal goes to Lu Kai. He dribbled past two Arsenal players in a row, it was simply unbelievable!"

"The camera lingered on Lu Kai for an extended period of time. The director at the Riverside Stadium is really something else. Is this some kind of missing person notice that Arsenal posted during halftime?"

"Now they probably know where Lu Kai is!"

Keown shook his head helplessly; he was indeed getting old.

"You can tell he's furious too. If he could do it all over again, he'd rather beat Lu Kai than let Lu Kai deliver such a brilliant and arrogant pass!"

That fancy footwork is absolutely arrogant!
"Oh! Sward... you hurt your arm?"

On the sidelines, Sward was clutching his arm, presumably from when he fell and braced himself with his hand.

In addition, Junichi Inamoto also received a yellow card on the field.

After Brad passed the ball to Lu Kai, Inamoto Junichi habitually used both his hands and feet to tackle Brad.

To prevent the player who passes the ball from continuing to move forward.

This defense is very cost-effective.

But sometimes it's easy to get cards for no reason.

Such as this time.

Wenger was not satisfied with the performances of Junichi Inamoto and Sward.

Junichi Inamoto was replaced by defensive midfielder Hols.

The Asian derby has come to an end.

Holmes's football career was far from successful, but his transition to male modeling brought him to new heights and a thriving career.

He is two years younger than Junichi Inamoto, and is twenty years old this year.

It's clear that Wenger is actually very strict.

If we say the EFL Cup will primarily feature young players, then it will definitely be so.

In addition, Van Bronckhorst replaced Sward.

The latter was injured, and the team needed to catch up, so they had no choice but to bring on a strong player.

But this substitution had already made Van Bronckhorst extremely unhappy.

Being Ashley Cole's backup is a testament to Cole's skill.

What's the point of being a substitute for Swade?
Am I, Lao Fan, really having a tough time?

When Wenger sentenced Pennant to death, Van Bronckhorst also sentenced Arsenal to death.

Brad is also injured at Dartford.

Junichi Inamoto may have just been going through the motions, but after Brad passed the ball, his body stiffened and he couldn't move. His supporting leg was kicked by Junichi Inamoto, causing him to lose his balance and twist his ankle.

This is one of the reasons why the referee issued the card.

The nature of a foul sometimes depends on the condition of the player who was fouled.

Ashley Young took off his gear and started playing.

This is the first time he has tried playing as an attacking midfielder in a major competition.

In the 73rd minute, Van Bronckhorst delivered a precise cross.

Kanu leaped high and outjumped Williams to head the ball into the goal.

when!
The football hit the crossbar and bounced away.

The goalposts on the riverside field proved crucial.

They lived up to their home advantage.

In the 74th minute, Arsenal launched a long pass to Kanu again.

Williams and Kanu fiercely contested the header, but Williams couldn't win.

Kanu gained a little ground.

However, Lu Kai secured the second point and launched a counterattack with a long pass.

Morgan quickly got going, and Upson immediately moved in to provide physical support.

The latter was not as fast as the former, so the only option was to increase the force and knock it down.

The referee blew the whistle.

Upson's skin turned yellow.

Lu Kai then took a tactical free kick, but unfortunately the contest was too intense and neither side could get a header, which was caught in the air by the onrushing Taylor.

Keane immediately created space to call for the ball.

But at that moment, Pennant was running on the right side of the midfield, calling for the ball.

Taylor would certainly give the opportunity to Pennant, who is more likely to pose a threat.

boom!
Bigfoot drives out.

"Shit!" Wenger angrily swung his hand from the sidelines.

Of course, the football should be given to Keown.

Why rush to send it?
We are Arsenal, not Manchester United!
There are plenty of opportunities to push from behind, so why bother?

As expected, Taylor is still very young and his abilities are average.

The ball was passed directly out of bounds.

Pennant stood on the sidelines, shrugging as if it were none of his business.

But he wasn't in a hurry to ask for it, and Taylor wouldn't pass that kind of ball.

In the 76th minute, Dartford maintained possession for a period of time. Ashley Young received the ball in the middle and was then pressured.

His dribbling skills are impressive; he didn't lose possession and even managed to get past his opponents.

But he was used to playing on the wing and didn't realize that he was easily surrounded and attacked in the middle.

They literally killed the ball.

At the critical moment, Lu Kai stepped forward to provide support.

Ashley Young delivered a dangerous pass.

This type of ball is often difficult to handle because the opponent also has a chance to steal it, or the teammate has just received it when the opponent tackles it. It's called a "knife-mountain ball" or a "dirty ball".

Some players with exceptional footwork skills, or those who know how to utilize their physical advantages and have good dribbling control, will be specifically assigned to receive difficult passes in the team.

Modric of Real Madrid, Bernardo Silva of Manchester City, and Messi are all very good at dirty play.

Lu Kai received the ball by holding off Maldondo, then executed a Bengbu spin, weaving through Arsenal's encirclement.

But it won't last long either.

As Hols moved his upper body towards him, Lu Kai leaned forward.

He looks like he's about to fall to the ground.

Hols immediately released the force and raised his hands to avoid being called for a foul.

But it was precisely because he failed to maintain his momentum that Lu Kai, while falling, knelt on his left knee and poked the ball away with his right foot.

This move is exactly what Berlin did with his kneeling tackle!
"Lu Kai actually passed the ball out!"

"Ashley Young receives the ball, and Arsenal's central defense is drawn to Lu Kai!"

"Breakthrough! Ashley Young decisively broke through, flicking the ball to the right, not giving Upson a chance to get close."

Ashley Young goes head-to-head with Keown!

"Two bicycle kicks... the ball went through his legs! Did Ashley Young dribble past him?"

"It's over!"

"beautiful!"

Keown tried to grab Ashley Young, but Ashley Young ducked slightly, and being short, he slipped under Keown's arm!

"A powerful shot! Aiming for the near post! Accurate and deadly!"

"Have it!"

"GOAL! Three to two!"

"Datford have taken the lead!"

"Ashley Young! This is truly unexpected! This series of brilliant breakthroughs is in no way inferior to Pennant's!"

"Could he be Pennant's real rival?"

"Sixteen-year-old Ashley Young has never played in the Premier League, let alone scored a goal. Yet he has breached the goal of Premier League leaders Arsenal!"

"You really can't judge a book by its cover!"

"Ten minutes! From Lu Kai's goal onwards, Dartford scored three goals in ten minutes! A comeback against the Red Gunners! Absolutely brilliant!"

On the sidelines, Wenger closed his eyes in despair.

Ashley Young's role in the attacking midfield position was a complete disaster, far inferior to Brad's.

But who would have thought he was so good at drilling?

As expected, even short people in football are not simple.

"Which club's youth academy did he come from?" Wenger asked.

The assistant coach said, "Watford."

Wenger nodded.

Then loan Pennant to Watford; he should have a place there. Hopefully, Pennant will do well in his graduate studies at Watford and come back with 20-30% of Ashley Young's current level of performance.

After all, Pennant should now have about 150% of Ashley Young's skill level.

Ashley Young: Such vulgar language?
The Dartford players rushed to the corner flag, and Ashley Young pulled Lu Kai aside to make way for them.

They held the emperor hostage to command the feudal lords.

Everyone dispersed.

Ashley Young knelt down on one knee, placed Lu Kai's feet on his thigh, and wiped Kai's boots!
The scene was filled with jubilation!
Just as Ashley Young thought he had made a name for himself, Amorim from the bench rushed over and shouted to the Arsenal fans in the stands: "Can you find Lu Kai now?!"

"Did you find it?!"

Arsenal fans erupted in anger!

"Fake!"

"This damn guy!"

"He actually provoked us!"

"Arsenal will win, just you wait!"

"Kill them!"

"Trash pornographic DVDs!"

Arsenal players also came over to defend their fans.

The two sides confront each other.

Amorim successfully stole the show.

The commentators chuckled, "Looks like Amorin spent a lot of time chatting online during halftime."

"Arsenal issued a missing person notice, and Dartford found their long-lost brother in just ten minutes."

"With one goal and two assists, Lu Kai single-handedly created three goals, orchestrating the Green Guns' comeback!"

"If Arsenal had posted a missing person notice for someone else, perhaps the consequences wouldn't have been so severe."

"But Lu Kai is absolutely the strongest player on this team, without a doubt!"

……

After the score was 3 to 2, the offensive and defensive positions were reversed.

Dartford remained completely unfazed.

In the 82nd minute, they leisurely used up their last spot.

Madeira replaced Morgan.

Maintain a deterrent effect through counterattacks.

Eastwood then dropped back to join the defense.

In the 84th minute, Arsenal launched several attacks in succession, but none of them truly threatened the goal.

Instead, Barton picked up the ball and launched a counter-attack with a long pass.

Madeira emerged victorious.

However, Taylor was well-prepared and made a timely intervention to clear the ball.

This served as a wake-up call for Arsenal to some extent.

In the 87th minute, Van Bronckhorst crossed from the wing, looking for Kanu.

Kanu fiercely battled for position inside the penalty area.

Lu Kai and Williams attacked him from both sides.

Kanu angrily raised his elbow, and Lu Kai fell to the ground.

The referee then called an offensive foul on Kanu.

Kanu turned to confront the referee, and Lu Kai seized the opportunity to signal everyone to surround Kanu and the referee, attempting to deliberately provoke conflict with Kanu and waste time.

Arsenal reacted quickly and dragged Kanu away.

The referee also warned Dartford not to try to provoke either side and escalate the situation.

Lu Kai nodded repeatedly.

They know they're wrong, but they won't change.

In the 91st minute, Van Bronckhorst attempted a one-two with Maldondo, but Lu Kai and Williams, who were marking him, executed a well-coordinated attack.

Luka van Bronckhorst's position.

Williams turned and chased after the ball, then intercepted it and passed it across to Duff.

Duff launched another counter-attack with a long ball.

Unfortunately, the quality is poor, and it's too deep.

The football eventually flew out of bounds.

The camera frequently focused on Wenger.

Time is running out for Arsenal.

Because there were only four minutes of added time in this match.

Wenger was clearly dissatisfied: "Four minutes? If Ferguson were in my position, you would give him eight minutes!"

The fourth official quickly took notes.

If Wenger causes trouble after the match, the English Professional Football League can use this as an excuse to punish him.

Reasonable and well-founded.

In the 93rd minute, Lu Kai pretended to stop walking.

Pennant dropped back past Lu Kai to call for the ball.

But the moment Hols passed the ball to Pennant, Lu Kai started his run, overtaking Pennant from behind to intercept.

Defensive skills such as [Mobile Roadblock] and [Spotless Player] have proven effective.

Lu Kai flicked the ball forward.

This also activated the Shadow Striker ability.

Aside from Madeira, he's the only one who fits the bill.

Lu Kai dribbles the ball forward.

Madeira made her run ahead.

Upson had no choice but to come over from the side and knock Lu Kai over.

Considering he already had a yellow card, this action was practically a request to leave the field.

In that case, fouls should be committed aggressively to be cost-effective.

In addition, everyone is currently in a period of physical exhaustion, so everyone is struggling to perform the movements.

At this time, if attacked, one is extremely vulnerable to injury.

The sight of Lu Kai rolling on the ground instantly ignited the atmosphere on the riverside basketball court.

The next moment, Barton rushed over and knocked Upson to the ground, and the two began to fight on the ground.

The situation is on the verge of erupting!
"Fuck him!"

The Dartford players rushed over.

Why did you have to attack our Chairman Kai?

If we break him, who will pay our wages?

Money can make the world go round.

Green Gun was surrounded by wolves.

Arsenal, on the other hand, presents a completely different picture.

Their players initially gathered quickly, but after realizing that Green Gun was serious, they retreated while fighting.

Pennant is the only one who is dissatisfied with the whole world and is preparing to take the opportunity to kick Patton while he's down.

Barton and he had an argument from the start.

He didn't forget.

As a result, he kicked it, but Duff managed to pull him back in mid-air.

Duff slammed him to the ground.

Pennant immediately curled up, no longer able to fight.

The Arsenal substitutes rushed towards the sideline, and then... stopped there, not daring to cross the line.

Henry, Bergkamp, ​​Vieira, Pires, Adams, Cole, and others also stood up, but clearly had no intention of climbing over the railing.

Instead, they offered advice in a half-hearted and disjointed manner.

The translation is:
"Garlic bird, garlic bird, none of them are easy to catch."

"Garlic Bird, you can't beat him again."

These seasoned veterans on the field can't even compete with lower-level players.

Even after winning, the star player acted arrogantly and lacked sportsmanship.

The star player tried to bully others after losing the game, but got beaten back; that was unsportsmanlike.

The key is that if they are really injured, the worst that can happen is a loss of one or two thousand pounds.

These star players get injured, and the losses can easily reach hundreds of thousands of pounds.

Why bother?
Those who wear shoes are afraid of those who go barefoot.

But there are also some hotheads.

Arsenal substitute Junichi Inamoto rushed onto the pitch with the goal of making a good impression.

As a result, Davies, Markofer, and Holt from the Dartford bench immediately followed suit.

Don't we also need to perform well?
Just then, An Qi came from the backcourt and blocked Inamoto Junichi's path.

In an instant, Junichi Inamoto was surrounded by four people.

Shivering.

An Qi reached out and pushed Inamoto Junichi.

Junichi Inamoto didn't dare to fight back, and when he turned around, he bumped into Davis.

Beep beep!

The referee blew his whistle wildly.

The stadium security also reacted.

With both coaches intervening, the situation was finally brought under control – mainly because all the necessary plays had been completed.

Upson looked like he'd been punched a few times.

Patton was quite skilled at hitting people.

Ultimately, the referee showed red cards to Upson, Barton, and Pennant, sending them off directly.

He saw Pennant's sneak attack on Patton.

Duff and Ariadre received yellow cards.

The others did not take any more cards.

Junichi Inamoto originally wanted to report that An Qi had also taken action, but with the Four Heavenly Kings by his side, he could only obediently retreat to the bench.

Nothing happened.

"Oh! I believe many people didn't expect this scene."

"In fact, the match wasn't that intense in terms of physical confrontation. Rather, it was their interaction with the court that was the most challenging."

"I never expected it would turn out like this."

"Come to think of it, Dartford has fought with Premier League teams before, hasn't it?"

"It's their problem if you're talking about one or two families... But three times in a row, isn't this team's playing style a bit too domineering?"

Some commentators believe Dartford should be held responsible for the conflict.

But there are also people with other stances.

Huang Jianxiang believes that "in fact, if you analyze it carefully, you can see that although Dartford had the intention to provoke trouble, it was basically the other party who took the initiative to attack."

"Moreover, the other side is often motivated by revenge, rather than by football itself."

"Take Lu Kai's dribbling this time for example. You can commit a tactical foul, but is it necessary to make such a violent impact? This was obviously driven by emotion, and it's normal for Dartford to retaliate."

Ultimately, I think it's because these top-tier players are dissatisfied with the result of the match.

"They didn't expect to lose to little Dartford, and they couldn't accept the score, which is why they got emotional."

"Otherwise, why did the match between Chelsea and Dartford in the FA Cup replay look so harmonious?"

"Datford lost by five goals, but they didn't seem to be fighting."

"Besides, Arsenal didn't play well in this fight either, getting completely outmatched by Dartford. It was really embarrassing!"

"Everyone used to say Dartford was a water gun, but now it seems Arsenal is the real water gun!"

The conflict lasted for two or three minutes.

On the field, the game had reached the eighth minute of stoppage time, far exceeding the stipulated time.

However, the referee did not immediately disallow the match.

Instead, they demanded that the process be completed and that Dartford be allowed to take one last free kick.

Wenger said Ferguson had eight minutes of stoppage time.

So now Arsenal has eight minutes of stoppage time, so there shouldn't be any complaints now, right?
Wenger: WNM!

"This is a free kick from 22 meters out at mid-range, slightly to the left."

"This should be within Lu Kai's shooting range, and he has a variety of options for dealing with this distance in his free-kick arsenal."

"I just don't know if he still has enough physical strength and power."

In response, Lu Kai said that he definitely couldn't pursue Pennant right now.

But that slight hesitation during the shot was still acceptable.

Lu Kai slowly stepped back, his eyes resolute.

A whistle blew.

Lu Kai takes a running start.

boom!
The football flew out.

They successfully made it over the human wall.

Taylor adjusted his position in time, and it seemed there were no problems.

But the football suddenly started shaking strangely.

What the hell!

Taylor was desperate.

Leaf ball!
It was typed out at that moment!
Even the Arsenal stars in the stands were surprised.

Bergkamp: "This... his stamina shouldn't be like this, right?"

Henry frowned: "I asked my friends for advice on free kicks, including Juninho from Ligue 1, Albertini from AC Milan, and Pirlo."

"They said that once you master the method, if you kick ten times with the same force, two or three of them will produce a leaf-falling effect, or even more."

"This means that this kind of free-kick technique does not require absolute power."

"It is related to the spin of the football, the wind speed and direction around it, the material of the shoe upper, and even the humidity of the air."

Swish!
The football went into the net without a doubt.

Arsenal's stars exchanged glances and lowered their heads in unison.

The time from now on belongs to Green Gun!
“GOAL!!!”

"The ball is in!"

"Another direct goal from a free kick!"

"Lu Kai unleashed a dipping shot! Completely outmaneuvering Arsenal's wall and goalkeeper!"

Upson paid the price for his foul!

"Two goals and two assists! Unbeatable!"

"I hereby declare that from this day forward, Lu Kai is the one and only King of Guns in London!"

Henry shook his head helplessly.

If he had known it would turn out this way, he, as an ace pilot, should have applied to go into battle in the first place!

In the broadcast footage, Lu Kai rushed to the sidelines and shouted into the camera, "Missing Person Notice!"

Where are the Arsenal players?

"Please tell them... Lu Kai is very anxious!"

The riverside sports field exploded instantly!
The fans repeated in unison:
"Missing Person Notice!"

"Missing Person Notice!"

"Missing Person Notice!"

Beep beep!

The referee blew his whistle three times, ending the trial of Arsenal.

Arsenal players quickly left the field.

I didn't want to stay a moment longer.

This time, the Dartford players didn't ask for their jerseys back either.

Because if I open my mouth, I'll probably start another fight.

The tension in this match was even greater than when playing Liverpool.

……

Sky Sports: "Revenge achieved! Dartford come back from 0-2 down to win 4-2 and advance to the EFL Cup semi-finals!"

BBC: "History made! Dartford become the first fourth-tier team to reach the EFL Cup semi-finals!"

The Times: "After Arsenal posted a missing person notice, Lu Kai led his teammates to score three goals in ten minutes, and had two goals and two assists in the whole game. After the game, he asked where the Arsenal players were?"

The Echo: "Arsenal got thrashed! Liverpool's loss is no surprise, considering they're behind Arsenal in the standings—no, they should be called Dartridge now!"

Manchester Evening News: "Congratulations to Dartford for becoming England's only designated striker! Congratulations to Lu Kai for becoming the King of London!"

France Football: "The Arsenal derby really escalated! The two sides came to blows in the final moments, and Arsenal crumbled at the last minute!"

Sports Weekly: "An Qi's furious defeat of Inamoto Junichi boosts my country's national prestige! The future of the Chinese team is far stronger than that of the Japanese team!"

Phoenix Football Network: "An Qi took the initiative and damaged Sino-Japanese friendship. Players should focus on their performance on the field! Inamoto Jun did not report An Qi after the incident, not because he was afraid of retaliation, but because he demonstrated the spirit of Bushido. Final verdict: An Qi, apologize as soon as possible!"

Dongqiudi: "Jingri is really good at bragging! After the defeat of the Bushido spirit, one should commit seppuku! You guys are talking about the Asian derby, but now you're not accepting the result, are you?"

Gunners derby.

It's a hot topic.

The process is rich and varied.

The result was amazing.

Everyone except Arsenal has reaped huge rewards in this process.

Due to the high level of interest in the match, a press conference was held afterward.

Wenger was the first to express his dissatisfaction: "Someone just sent me a photo, and I'm shocked. I want to ask Dartford, how do you explain this?"

Wenger showed a photo of Lu Kai directing two water trucks to operate at the riverside stadium.

There was an uproar at the scene.

So the pitch being in such bad condition is not due to natural causes, but rather something Dartford did on purpose?

This……

That's outrageous!
That's so unsportsmanlike!

Wenger slammed his fist on the table in anger: "What? You dare to do it but not admit it?"

Lu Kai, who had just been interviewed as the best player of the match, entered the interview room.

He replied, "Of course I dare not accept that."

Wenger: "You admit it?"

Lu Kai was quite frank: "Why wouldn't I admit it? In fact, I'm quite surprised."

"The condition of the stadium is one of the team's home advantage."

"Arsenal is also a team that has participated in European competitions, so they should be very clear about this."

"Many major competitions involve operations that extend far beyond the stadium."

"I taught you this principle, and I didn't even charge you tuition!"
