11. vs Arsenal: Kick Off
Jamie Vardy was nervous because he was playing an away match, while Kevin remained calm and focused on formulating a plan, and Andy King couldn't wait to defeat Arsenal.
All players were ready to enter the stadium!
Andy Gray (commentator): "Tonight's a great match, we're witnessing a rare game, Martin!"
Martin Taylor (commentator): "Absolutely, Andy. We're watching a club that's not exactly a mid-table team anymore, writing a legend, continuing to win, and now their opponent is Arsenal."
Robin van Persie smiled and nodded at Kevin. Kevin returned the gesture, and the two walked side by side.
Robin van Persie said: "I've seen you play. You're great!"
Kevin said: "You too. I often watch your games!"
Cheers from Leicester City and Arsenal fans broke the silence, singing and shouting for their beloved teams. At that moment, Kevin felt an indescribable happiness, completely different from his life in that other world. In this world, Kevin had found the meaning of life through football.
Andy Gray (commentator): "Haha, for some reason I'm a little nervous. How about you, Martin? What's your take on this first match?"
Martin Taylor (commentator): "I'm worried it'll be one-sided. Arsenal's the opponent, and you know, they're in good form."
Andy Gray (commentator): "Yeah, but look at that young star. I'm a huge fan."
Martin Taylor (commentator): "Oh, what a coincidence, me too!"
As the match was about to start, the two commentators returned to a neutral tone.
Andy Gray (commentator):
"Cesc Fabregas dribbles the ball forward and passes it to Gilberto Silva, who immediately sends it to Alexander Hleb... Kevin Kraut intercepts!"
Martin Taylor (commentator):
"Alexander Hleb tries to steal it back from Kevin, but fails, what a shame... Kevin's on the attack! A direct pass to Andy King, shoot!"
...
Andy held his head after failing to score, his shot hitting the post and bouncing out. Andy looked at Kevin, who returned the smile apologetically. Arsenal started a counterattack, but Kevin intercepted the ball as he stole Gaël Clichy's pass to Samir Nasri.
Kevin lifted his foot and lobbed the ball over his opponent's head, breaking through Gilberto Silva. Philippe Senderos stared at Kevin as he ran, and the two began to sprint. Kevin's dribbling speed was almost as fast as when he wasn't carrying the ball!
Andy Gray (commentator): "Kevin dribbles past Senderos! A direct pass, Shinji Okazaki receives it! Oh, unfortunately, the ball was intercepted by Wes Morgan and passed to midfield."
Martin Taylor (commentator): "Kevin was lightning-fast just now. If he competed in the Olympics, he'd probably win gold."
Andy Gray (commentator): "Haha, you're right! Look, coach Arsène Wenger is up from his seat and walking straight to the sideline!"
Martin Taylor (commentator): "Things are getting serious, especially with Kevin playing so actively. He's young and full of spirit, it's amazing."
Andy Gray (commentator): "Kevin takes a long shot! Oh no, the ball hits Danny Simpson! Oof, he's down!"
Martin Taylor (commentator): "That was a fast and powerful shot. Let's watch the replay... a solid hit to the stomach..."
Andy Gray (commentator): "Cesc Fabregas dribbles past the defenders and sends a through ball to Emmanuel Adebayor! Adebayor gets past Danny Simpson and Wes Morgan!"
Martin Taylor (commentator): "Direct shot!"
Andy Gray (commentator): "Whoa! The ball sails high over the crossbar! That was a powerful strike…"
