The football flew straight to the goal like a flying fireball.
Neuer turned his head and watched in despair as the football flew into the net.
4-3.
"GOAL!!!! Defeat! Defeat! Volley! Defeat!!"
In the Sky Sports studio, Lineker was shouting wildly and incoherently.
"In the last minute of the game, Alexander used a beautiful volley to score Bayern Munich's goal for the fourth time! Can you believe it? At the age of 17, in his first game, he scored four times against Bayern Munich, a sure win! This is not a movie or a game, this is a real scene happening at the Emirates Stadium!"
"In the Champions League, the last young player who could make us so excited in a game was Gareth Bale. He scored three times against Inter Milan on behalf of Tottenham, and that's when he started his career. The road to stardom, now, a similar plot is happening again, and he is even more explosive than Bale!
I can't imagine his future, let alone predict his upper limit, and I can't imagine why before today, he was just an ordinary forward in Reading's youth team, and I heard he was even just a substitute.
Wenger once said: 'Mozart could play the piano very well at the age of 6, but I will never be able to play to that level in my life. Similarly, the level of some players when they were 17 years old was something I had never played when I was playing football. Never reached before. Why? Because they are all special talents.
This passage is used to describe Fabregas, but it is obvious that the professor's classic description of the young genius appeared too early, because Alexander is more talented than Fabregas!
Fabregas broke Wenger's heart and we can only hope that something similar doesn't happen to Alexander again..."
"Many legendary stories will have an unusual start, such as Messi who signed the franchise agreement on a napkin, such as Kaká who miraculously emerged from a broken spine and then soared into the sky, such as Conquering Ferguson in one battle and then switching to Manchester United. Cristiano Ronaldo, for example... Alexander, who astonished Arsene Wenger by scoring ten goals in a single game.
But at the same age of 17, Messi has just scored his first goal in a friendly match on behalf of Barcelona, Kaka is still quietly training in the youth team of Sao Paulo, Cristiano Ronaldo has just emerged in Sporting CP, and Alexander has already won the UEFA Champions League. Four yuan, stepping on the corpse of the Bundesliga giant to become famous all over the world!
At the same time, we must also note that there is no shortage of talented young people in world football who emerge as blockbusters, but there are only a few who can always maintain high standards and perform stably. We hope that Alexander can become one of these few, and I also believe that , with the guidance and encouragement of a famous teacher like Wenger, Alexander will soon become a true football superstar..."
Young geniuses are like Messi and Ronaldo if they are well developed. If they are not well developed, they are Bojan and Pato.
Judging from Alexander's performance today, he can definitely be on par with Both of them. No matter how bad he is, he will be the second Rooney or Torres, a perfect superstar and the king of the ball.
The lower limit is Rooney and the upper limit is Messi and Ronaldo. This is the highest praise that people in this era can imagine for a young player.
"That person just now, the one who said Alexander couldn't shoot from a distance, come out and take a few steps."
"Well, Torres, Drogba, Batty and Ibrahimovic are not enough, now there is Robin van Persie."
"I originally wanted to say that his shot was not good-looking, but then I was told this..."
Alexander walked to the sidelines, slowly sat down and then lay back heavily, panting and looking at the sky above the Emirates Stadium.
Wilshere was the first to rush over, and was immediately startled by his half-dead appearance. He quickly pushed away the others who were about to pounce on Alexander, "Don't move, he is exhausted."
"Hurry up, don't lie down!"
"I'm so exhausted when I'm physically exhausted..."
"Do I need to call the team doctor?"
"It's okay," Alexander put his hands on his hands and sat up straight, "I'm so damn tired."
"Hmm, welcome to the world of adults," Vermaelen said, "This is not comparable to a kid's game like the youth team."
"Really?" Alexander grabbed Podolski's extended hand and stood up with all his strength, "But it doesn't feel much different. It's so easy to score goals."
"..." A group of people were speechless.
He got it again.
Robben came over and said, "Kick off quickly! Don't try to delay the time!"
Everyone continued to gather around and laugh, and no one paid any attention to him.
Robben got angry and tried to push Vermaelen, but as soon as his hand touched the jersey, he was surrounded three levels inside and three outside.
Other Bayern players were already in formation waiting for kick-off. Seeing this scene, they rushed over. You pushed me and I kicked you. The scene became quite lively.
"...Robben seemed to think that Arsenal was deliberately stalling for time, and there were some conflicts between the two sides...Robben and Vermaelen were each hit 50 times. The game continued to start, and the injury time had passed. The referee It should be extended as appropriate, but there is probably not even a minute left for Bayern."
As soon as the ball was kicked out, everyone on Arsenal's side immediately retreated, while Bayern swarmed forward and bombarded Arsenal's goal.
Wenger came to the fourth official and kept putting his watch in front of his eyes, telling him to look quickly, "The time has come! It's already passed a lot!"
On the other side, Heynckes had a sullen face and his frown was so deep that it could kill a fly.
"Beep!"
"Beep!"
"Beep!"
"The referee blew the whistle at the end of the game. Congratulations to Arsenal for defeating Bayern Munich 4-3 at their home court! However, they cannot be careless, because Bayern has a huge away goal advantage. At home, as long as they can win 1-0 or 2-1, they can eliminate Arsenal and advance to the quarter-finals with away goals."
"Five shots, four goals, and one offside. This is Alexander's report card in his first game. If the full score is 100 points, then he can score at least 120 points today."
"Alexander joined Arsenal on January 30, but Wenger did not arrange for him to play in either the league or the FA Cup. It was not until today that he suddenly appeared in the starting lineup against Bayern. Before the game, we It's puzzling, but now, I think we all know that Alexander is Wenger's secret weapon for Bayern. This weapon not only exceeded the task, but also gave us unlimited expectations for Arsenal this year... …"
The Bayern players hurriedly left the field, while the Arsenal players, led by captain Vermaelen, walked to the stands to thank the fans.
In just one game, Alexander directly became Arsenal's most popular player.
The main reason is that the Gunners really don't have any promising players. The most famous Walcott lacks a bit of superstar temperament, and Wilshere cannot reach the level of Henry, Fabregas and Robin van Persie in any aspect. high.
Alexander fills this gap very well.
The Arsenal fans at the scene were reluctant to leave for a long time, and many people were shouting Alexander's name.
Alexander walked up to the stands amidst bursts of cheers, came to his parents, and handed the game ball to his mother like a treasure.
Everyone around could not help but smile.
Sure enough, he is still a child...
Isabella took the football and hugged him hard, "You are my pride, son."
Alexander patted her back, and a handsome face poked out from her shoulder. He looked at John and raised his chin arrogantly, "Are am I awesome?"
John stretched out his hand and rubbed his head heavily, "It's not bad."
In the tiny box above the Emirates Stadium, Arsenal CEO Gazidis watched this scene and hurriedly ordered his assistants, "Now! Immediately! Immediately! Work hard to make the No. 11 jersey. I want them to be covered tomorrow. All the kit dealers in London... no, all the shops in England!"
"I'm afraid this is a bit difficult..."
"Aren't the difficulties solved?"
"I understand, BOSS."
On the other side, Ferguson also received a call from his brother Martin.
Manchester United also reached the 1/8 finals of the Champions League this season, but their first leg with Real Madrid ended a week ago, with the two sides drawing 1-1 at the Bernabeu.
The result was good or not. Back at Old Trafford, as long as they kept a clean sheet, they would be able to advance to the next round. The chances of winning were still very high, so today the old man sat leisurely in front of the TV and watched the other teams fight to the death.
At the beginning, I watched the peak showdown between Barcelona and AC Milan, but in the middle I jumped to the match between Arsenal and Bayern and took a look, and then I couldn't get out.
Bayern was unexpectedly awesome and strong, and Arsenal...he didn't want to comment.
When Martin's call was answered, the two brothers each held up their mobile phones, but neither of them made a sound.
Finally, Ferguson broke the silence, "You think I'm quoting 28 million now, will that vampire Kroenke give him to us?"
"Come on, my dear brother, you also said that Kroenke is a greedy vampire, not a brainless pig."
"So...how should I comfort myself now so that I can sleep well tonight?"
"You can tell yourself that at least we still have Van Persie."
"Thank you, my dear brother, I can't sleep tonight..."
Van Persie is about to turn 30. He spent 30.7 million pounds on Manchester United and has only scored 3 goals for Manchester United in the Champions League so far.
Just one less than Alexander, do you think it's a coincidence?
Alexander returned to the locker room and took a quick shower. As soon as he changed into clean clothes, Boulder walked in and said, "Alex, BOSS wants you to attend the press conference."
His teammates cast their envious eyes on him for the first time today.
Being able to participate in the press conference means some recognition for the players, but most of them only spoke at the press conference on the day they joined. Only those who can be interviewed after the game with the coach and captain Only a few people.
Vermaelen said: "Let's go. If you don't show up today, those reporters will tear down the press hall."
"As long as they can afford the compensation, they can do it if they like."
When the three of them arrived at the press conference, all kinds of flashlights immediately came towards Alexander.
Wenger patted the seat next to him and motioned for Alexander to sit down. Heynckes and Lahm also cast complex glances at him.
Reporters can finally start asking questions.
The first person to be criticized was the high-spirited Wenger, but out of the ten questions, nine were about Alexander.
"I heard that Arsenal's current liquidity in the bank is as high as 150 million pounds, but why didn't you use this funds to introduce big-name players, but just spent 2.8 million to buy a 17-year-old young man?"
"Because we only buy the right ones, not the expensive ones, and facts have proven that our choice was correct."
"But there was news before that you were interested in Falcao and Villa, but you were scared away by the offer..."
"Falcao and Villa are both very good forwards, but now Alexander is the one wearing the Arsenal shirt and scoring goals for Arsenal."
"Professor, why did you arrange Alexander debut for today? Is it intentional?"
"Of course, he is the surprise I prepared for Bayern Munich. I know what you want to ask. Alexander is indeed very young and has no professional experience, but his mentality and skills are very mature, and he already has the ability to change the situation... "
"Will Alexander be Arsenal's starting center forward in the future?"
"When I arrange the starting lineup, I only look at the players' condition..."
"Coach Heynckes, where do you think Bayern Munich lost today?"
"The better team did not win," Heynckes pondered for a moment. "We defeated Arsenal, but lost to the opponent's No. 11. As coach Arsene said, he does have the ability to change the game. Ability, we knew almost nothing about him before this game, and that's the most fatal thing."
"Philip, do you have anything to say about Alexander two goals scored under your defense?
"
"Obviously, it wasn't a pleasant experience and it brought back some bad memories, but that's the way football is, you'll always have some exciting moments, but you'll also have some frustrating moments. , for me, today is a sad day."
"Then what do you think of him?"
"There is no doubt that he is a natural shooter," Ram lowered the microphone and considered his words, "but it is worth mentioning that we originally thought we would face the likes of Giroud and Bendtner. shooter, but we didn't expect that a powerful and unfamiliar talented player would appear in front of us. This is the biggest reason for our failure today, but the Champions League knockout round is a two-round game. After today's thrilling ninety minutes, we We are already very familiar with him, and when we return to the Allianz Arena in the next game, he will get to know the real Bayern Munich."
Ram's words were quite decent and his tone was very calm, but there was no doubt that he was dissatisfied both inside and outside of his words. Especially when he was speaking, his eyes were always looking at Alexander. It was as if he was throwing a challenge directly in his face. There is no difference.
The next reporter who got a chance to ask a question quickly pulled Alexander into the fight.
"Alexander, congratulations on your dream debut. Have you ever thought about why you can perform so well? Is it because the enemy is too weak?"
"Of course not. Bayern Munich is a very strong opponent and once forced us into a desperate situation, but it is obvious that we are more fully prepared."
"Lahm said that after this game they are already very familiar with you, and the next round will let you see the real Bayern Munich. Do you have any response to this?"
Alexander smiled and looked at Ram, "Be careful, I'm already very familiar with you."
