"I will never forget that day, that year, the sight of that traitor leaving us!"
"How dare he go back to the Premier League? He's a spineless bastard."
"I want to slap that kid every time I see him, but the team just won't cooperate!"
Snap!
Lei Ming was engrossed in reading the newspaper in the car when he was suddenly stopped by Giru next to him.
"Lei, what are you looking at? We're almost there, we should get ready."
"Wait, Giroud, can you tell me about this guy and his story with Arsenal? It seems like the fans have a lot of feelings about him!"
Lei Ming was holding a local newspaper with a cover almost entirely filled with negative comments from the teams about the player. He couldn't understand why a Chelsea player would face such a strong backlash from Arsenal fans.
Giroud saw the person Lei Ming was pointing at, smiled, sat down beside him, and whispered, "This person had already left before I arrived, but I happen to know some of the details of what happened..."
Giroud began to vividly recount some stories about Fabregas and Arsenal to Lei Ming. When he heard that a player was willing to pay out of his own pocket to go to Barcelona, he almost jumped out of his skin.
What kind of passion must one have to do something like this?
"I was wondering why the atmosphere in the team seemed to become much more serious after the game against Cologne."
Lei Ming had been wondering why his teammates, who were usually so carefree, suddenly became so serious when they were about to face Chelsea. He had initially thought it was because they were nervous about facing last season's Premier League champions, but it turned out that the reason was right there!
"How can we not be serious? You have to understand, in the Premier League, we can lose to anyone, but we absolutely cannot lose to a team with traitors, otherwise you will be met with a barrage of abuse from countless fans."
As the bus slowly came to a stop, the players knew they had arrived at their destination for the match: Chelsea's home ground, Stamford Bridge.
As everyone followed manager Arsène Wenger out of the car, a number of Arsenal fans were already standing on both sides waiting for them.
Faced with the enthusiastic Arsenal fans, the Gunners players could only wave slightly to express their gratitude before orderly entering the stadium.
After all, the head coach has a rule that no one is allowed to give interviews or take photos and sign autographs with fans before the game. This is a rule that must be implemented to ensure that the players do not have any accidents and to protect their mental health.
As long as there is no contact, there will be less overthinking in the mind. This game is not only a London derby for Arsenal, but also a game they cannot afford to lose. So what if Chelsea are the champions last season? They must crush the Blues and crush number 4.
Despite having just finished a battle against Cologne yesterday, the special nature of the match has ignited the passion of every Arsenal player. Even Lei Ming, who was initially clueless, now feels the urge to teach that brat a lesson for the professor, despite the fact that the other player is older than him.
Shortly after the Arsenal players arrived at Stamford Bridge, the Chelsea players arrived in the stadium's luxury bus at another private entrance, where a large group of Chelsea fans were gathered.
Fabregas got out of the car with slightly complicated feelings. Even though he was wearing headphones, he could still hear some people around him calling him a 'traitor'.
He simply glanced calmly in those directions before silently covering his headphones and following his teammates toward the inside of the stadium.
Despite appearing calm on the surface, her inner thoughts were actually quite complex.
If there's one team he least wants to face in the Premier League, it's undoubtedly Arsenal.
As the game approaches, Stamford Bridge, which can hold more than 40,000 people, has been welcoming fans who have traveled from afar.
Because it was a London derby, there were quite a few away fans at this match. If Chelsea hadn't intentionally controlled the number of away fans, they might have turned this place into a red-and-white home ground.
Before the match, the players from both sides would do a short warm-up exercise on the field. It was during this time that Lei Ming saw the legendary number 4 player.
"Hey Lei, hey OK, how have you been lately?"
Lei Ming, who had just finished practicing his saves, was greeted by his former teammate Bakayoko. This was the first time the two had met since joining the Premier League.
Bakayoko has received good treatment since joining Chelsea, consistently holding a starting position.
"Oh, of course, it's a pleasure to see you, Timothy. I'm happy to see you're doing well at Chelsea."
"Haha, you too! I'm happy for you too. I won't hold back in this match!"
Bakayoko joked with a laugh.
Lei Ming laughed and waved his hand: "Heh, with me here, you won't win too easily. You'd better tell your teammates about my skills, or I can introduce myself first."
"Thunderous roar! I'm Arsenal's number 1 goalkeeper. I'm on the field, making saves, making saves, making saves again! Thank you all for listening."
Bakayoko: "..."
The encounter with Bakayoko was just a minor incident. The two didn't dare to be too intimate on the field, for fear of bringing negative news to their respective teams. However, Bakayoko promised to have a good drink with Lei Ming after the game.
........
"Dear viewers, welcome to the fifth round of the Premier League match between Chelsea and Arsenal. This is not only a thrilling clash between two Premier League giants, but also a London derby with profound significance."
"In this match, Chelsea manager Conte still used the 3-4-2-1 formation that was best suited to dealing with Arsenal last season."
Goalkeeper: Courtois
Defense line: Gary Cahill, David Luiz, Bakayoko
Midfielders: Moses, Kante, Fabregas, Marcos Alonso.
The attacking line boasts a formidable lineup including Pedro, Willian, and Morata.
Although Hazard hasn't played in this match yet, Chelsea's attitude is already evident in their lineup, which is an absolute first-team squad, showing how much manager Conte values this game.
On the other side, Arsenal also fielded their strongest players tonight. In this match, we were able to see two summer transfers on the field at the same time in Arsenal's 3-4-2-1 formation.
