Wenger on the sidelines excitedly waved his fists. At this moment, all the depression that had been suppressed in his heart because of Van Persie's departure, seemed to open a door in his heart at this moment, and all the depression turned into fly ashes and disappeared. . It has been a year, and the professor's heart has never been so easy and clear as it is now!
Giroud ran all the way from Manchester United's goal and hugged Wenger tightly: "Professor, I scored a goal! I didn't embarrass you!"
Wenger was also very excited: "Come on! You will become an Arsenal legend!"
At this time, Ozil, Koscielny, Cazorla and other Arsenal players all rushed up, hugged Giroud tightly, and celebrated this wonderful goal. At this moment, they have regarded Giroud as their most trusted teammate.
At this moment, not only Wenger resolved the depression, but the pressure in Giroud's heart disappeared instantly.
It has been a year since I came to Arsenal, and I have been carrying doubts. Except for the teammates and the head coach of the club, almost everyone is not optimistic. Everyone says that I am not as good as the van Persie who left. How is it now? I scored the crucial goal! I am the hero of this game!
Giroud roared loudly at the visiting team stands, waving his arms, and the fans in the visiting team stands also cheered loudly, showing great love for Giroud. Giroud hugged his teammates tightly and enjoyed this highlight moment.
When Giroud scored this unbelievable goal, all the fans in the North Stand were dumbfounded, and members of the "King of Demons" fan association were even more stunned.
"This, this can score?"
"It's purely a lie! I kicked it blindly!"
"But anyway, Arsenal are ahead..."
At this time, the fat Rodney asked Cook with a bitter face: "President, we won't usher in a four-game losing streak in the league..."
"What are you talking about!" Cook said loudly, "Just because your opponent scored a goal, don't you have no confidence? Cheer up! We are Manchester United! It is the Manchester United that never say die! Brothers, for us The team cheers loudly and overwhelms the bloody Arsenal fans!"
The morale of the fans of the home team was high, and they made a huge noise, suppressing the cheers of the fans of the visiting team, and sending the greatest support and encouragement to their home team, which was falling behind.
Watching the Arsenal soldiers celebrating the goal, Jin Taige in front of the coach of the home team looked back at the two assistants: "This conceded goal is too incredible..."
Scholes sighed: "Anyway, in my career, I have never been able to score this kind of goal."
Ferran stomped his feet fiercely: "These guys got lucky with shit!"
Kim Taeg smiled bitterly: "I estimate that I will give Giroud the same chance a hundred times,
He may not be able to score such a beautiful goal. "
"What next?"
"The first half of the game is almost over, let's talk about it during the intermission."
The referee greeted the visiting team players who were celebrating to return to the game quickly, and the Arsenal players walked slowly towards the field. Giroud was the last one, and he walked slowly towards the center circle. At this time, he Applause from the visiting fans can also be heard. When Giroud came to the center circle, the Manchester United players had already taken their positions, and two players in the center circle were waiting for the midfield kick-off. Giroud saw that the person who stepped on the ball was Van Persie, his opponent.
Giroud looked at Van Persie. Except when the game started to serve, the two appeared in the middle circle at the same time. Until now, this is the second time Giroud has been so close to Van Persie in this game. He looked at Van Persie, wanted something out of his face.
What do you want? Is it frustration after the team loses the ball? Is it the envy of his goals? Or the reluctance and nostalgia for Arsenal?
Giroud didn't know what he wanted to see, he just stared at Van Persie in front of him, as if he wanted to see through the person in front of him.
But Van Persie was expressionless at this time, without the slightest panic and panic after the team fell behind and the opponent scored. He just stood quietly at the penalty spot in the middle circle, waiting for the coach's whistle.
I don't know why, seeing Van Persie with a calm face, Giroud suddenly felt a trace of anger and resentment in his heart.
I am now Arsenal's main center forward, I am now the offensive core that Professor Wenger relies on most, and I am now the darling of the fans, and these are no longer yours! You Van Persie are just a traitor to Arsenal! When the game is over, see if you can still be as indifferent and calm as you are now!
The game continued, Van Persie passed the ball to Rooney next to him, and then rushed straight into the Arsenal penalty area. Manchester United continued to attack and seized the last few minutes of the first half to try to equalize the score. But Rooney's pass was cleared by Vermaelen.
After this time Manchester United's attack was fruitless, the first half of the game was over, and Arsenal returned to the dressing room with a score of 1-0. The Manchester United players also walked towards the locker room with the regret of losing a goal.
Van Persie walked at the end. He walked very slowly. He didn't say hello to any Arsenal players he met along the way, but just walked forward. When he walked to the sidelines, Wenger was talking to Giroud. At this time, the professor With a doting expression on his face, he looked at the favorite general who had just scored a goal in front of him.
Before the start of the game, Van Persie did not see Wenger. He wanted to take advantage of the intermission to say hello to his former coach, but when he saw Wenger talking happily with Giroud, Van Persie was stunned for a moment, and finally He still didn't go over to say hello, he kept walking, and walked straight towards the locker room of the home team...
