Chapter 40 (More Updates, Please Vote) Wenger celebrates early, Henry wants to learn to slide

Wenger thought so too. He asked his assistant: "Give me his information. I think he can try out for our youth team..."

The assistant coach immediately reported: "Joey Barton, he is the Manchester City troublemaker who likes to hit teammates and coaches. He has been in the news before."

Wenger almost choked and stopped mentioning Barton.

In the 14th minute, Lu Kai completed a steal in the backcourt and immediately found Patton nearby.

Patton made a wall pass to Lu Kai, and the two had a tacit understanding in the midfield and backcourt.

boom!
Lu Kai directly launched a long pass.

Dartford strikes back!

Ashley Young received the ball on the left and accelerated to attack the opposing defender.

The bravest of two wins when two meet in a narrow road. Ashley Young cut inside decisively and successfully reached the front of the penalty area.

boom!
A lob shot.

Unfortunately, the ball was kicked away by the opponent's center back and only went to a corner kick.

"It's a decisive style of play, but his shot selection is too immature." Henry, who is being reused at Arsenal, spoke highly of Ashley Young's playing style.

In time, this kid will become a pretty good winger.

Wenger nodded without saying anything.

He was more interested in Lu Kai's counterattack pass.

In the 18th minute, Ashuford City's No. 7 striker dribbled horizontally on the left side of the penalty area, hit the wall of his teammate No. 10, and made a powerful shot.

Duff anticipated the situation and blocked the ball.

The football bounced to the right and was caught by the opponent's number nine striker.

The number nine striker held off Dartford's defenders and made a cross pass.

The number seven striker pushed the ball into the net.

"GOAL! One to zero!"

"The gap between the strong and the weak is still obvious! Ashford City scored first!"

"It turns out that Highbury belongs to Arsenal, not Arsenal Green. Dartford may find it difficult to get the results they want here."

After this goal, Ashuford City played more calmly and began to control the game.

Although they only launched two attacks afterwards, they still firmly controlled the ball.

The result was apparent after just thirty minutes of play.

Wenger looked at his watch.

"Sir, you have a meeting later with Pires' agent..." the assistant reminded Wenger.

Wenger is ready to bring Robert Pires to Highbury from French Ligue 1 giants Marseille.

"Yeah." Wenger stood up and prepared to leave early.

The Arsenal players also started to move, and it was obvious that they would leave one after another in the next few minutes.

I attended the event for an hour, which was a great honor.

There's no need to continue watching this amateur competition...

Wenger paused.

Because the situation on the field suddenly changed.

Dartford couldn't get the ball across half-court.

Barton could only pass the ball long to Eastwood in front.

Eastwood headed the ball back to Lu Kai.

Lu Kai half-turned to hold on to the player who was pressing him, then pushed back and completed the turn with the ball.

He then took advantage of the situation and completed a long shot.

The football flew straight towards the goal.

"What a beautiful turn!" Bergkamp is very knowledgeable about turning movements.

"It's a pity that the shot was too straight and couldn't go in." Henry has a lot of experience in shooting.

But the next moment, the football suddenly rose sharply, from the abdomen to about two meters and three meters in the blink of an eye.

This was completely beyond the prediction of the Ashford City goalkeeper.

He raised his hands, but the football had already passed over his head.

Swish!
White waves surged.

[Basic confrontation] + [Turning with the ball] + [Rapid shot] = Super world wave!
"GOAL! One to one!"

"Lu Kai! He scored a world-class goal!" "Receiving the ball, carrying the opponent, turning around, shooting... Lu Kai's basic skills are solid and agile!"

"He's not physically strong, but his threat is hard to ignore. This characteristic is similar to Henry who established himself at Arsenal!"

After scoring the goal, Lu Kai rushed directly to the corner flag area.

Then he slid to his knees from a very long distance.

He drifted across the grass, his upper body proudly upright.

His hands hang down, slightly inward, looking very majestic.

His eyes swept across the sidelines, as if he was reviewing his subjects and asking them why they weren't cheering yet!
The next moment, drumbeats were heard from the stands:

"Dartford, rise up!"

"Dartford must win!"

He is a shoemaker, and at the Pond Stadium, he is the stadium commentator.

At other stadiums, he is the DJ for Dartford's official supporters club.

At least two thousand people entered the stadium in Dartford today.

After sliding to his knees at the edge of the field, Lu Kai jumped up and waved his fists.

The teammates then rushed over and everyone celebrated enthusiastically.

The big screen was replaying Lu Kai's silky goal, but the stadium commentator noticed Wenger standing up: "Oh! A famous coach is a famous coach!"

"Three seconds before the goal, Wenger actually predicted Lu Kai's brilliant performance and stood up to cheer for him!"

"Could it be that the rumors are true, and Arsenal wants to make amends for their previous mistakes and re-sign Lu Kai?"

On the sidelines, Wenger applauded and then sat down.

The assistant asked, "This...are we not leaving?"

Wenger shook his head and laughed, "Didn't you notice the look in that kid's eyes? The scrutiny he gave me as he slid down to his knees seemed to be telling me not to leave."

“He has leadership qualities.”

Henry on the side was amazed by Lu Kai's celebration.

"That's so cool, I want to do that in the future!" Henry can slide on his knees, but he never knew it could be so cool.

……

Lu Kai's goal aroused the anger of Ashford City.

The upper grades are educating the lower grades, and you dare to fight back?
Ashford City immediately increased their intensity under the command of the head coach.

In particular, they focused their attention on Lu Kai.

In the 34th minute, Lu Kai used the same trick again after receiving the ball and confronted the opponent again, because the one coming up was not a particularly strong defender, but a midfielder.

After holding off the opponent, Lu Kai stepped on the ball, swayed his body, and prepared to pass the ball or turn around.

As a result, a huge force hit him from behind, and the opponent gathered strength and knocked him over.

beep!

The referee blew the whistle, indicating that the opponent had committed a foul.

But this level of foul does not reach the level of playing cards.

"The situation is not good." Vieira shook his head. "Lu Kai's physical condition is average among his peers, but compared to adult players, it's very poor."

"The other party can knock him away at any time."

"His style of play is not going to work."

In the 38th minute, Ashley Young dribbled with difficulty on the left and finally advanced a short distance. After passing the ball to Lu Kai, Lu Kai actually chose to pass it back to Kailo.

Dartford's attacking opportunities disappeared.

Ljungberg shook his head and laughed, "The kid is scared. Whenever the opponent rushes towards him, he passes the ball back."

This situation is very normal, especially among young players.

Beep beep!

Wenger's phone rang.

Pires' agent has arrived.

"Well, okay, I'll be there right away. I had an event today, so I was a little delayed..." Wenger stood up again, answered the phone while motioning his assistant to follow him.

But he suddenly froze.

Because he happened to see what was happening on the court.
