Volume 1 Chapter 16 Black Jersey Fans Organization

The next morning, Arsenal players set off for Manchester City.

Lucky watched them dressed in neat training gear, ready to go off.

Chamberlain used hair wax to make his hair shiny and sleek, quite like Van Persie, and he is obviously following the trend.

But he couldn't imitate General Fan's refreshing and tough temperament at all, instead he had a greasy feeling.

However, Chamberlain seemed very satisfied with his hairstyle, and walked onto the bus with a heroic look.

Lucky said silently in his heart; "Good luck to you!"

After the first team set off, only a limited number of substitutes who were not included in the roster were left on the training ground.

Lekai didn't care about anyone else and went straight into the equipment room to start his muscle-building project again.

He needs to increase his weight to 80 kilograms, have enough tonnage, and become strong enough.

According to Patrese's plan, Lucky will be able to achieve its goal before Christmas.

Both of them worked hard for this.

After a day of training, Lucky did not practice more but returned to Billy's house.

Billy was already waiting at the door. Lucky went upstairs to change his clothes, and the two of them set off towards London.

It takes 45 minutes to drive from Lucheng to London, and the two chatted along the way.

Billy briefly talks about his views on this game.

He thinks Arsenal can replicate last season's performance and beat Manchester United 1-0 at Old Trafford.

In response, Lucky did not respond.

Along the way, Billy kept expressing his opinions, while Lucky was looking at the scenery outside the car window.

It has been three months since he joined Arsenal, but to be honest, he only passed through London once when he first arrived.

Naturally, Lucky was curious about this world-famous city and wanted to go sightseeing.

But he resisted these temptations and trained hard.

The place they were going to was 'Dale Square' in the Woolwich area of London, of course it is now called Woolwich Square.

Although London is generally considered a "city", it does not have city status in England's administrative system. It is just one of the two sub-administrative districts under Greater London.

Greater London, located in the southeast of England, is one of the first-level administrative divisions under England. Its scope roughly covers the metropolitan area consisting of the British capital London and its surrounding satellite towns.

Administratively, it comprises the City of London and 32 London boroughs, a total of 33 sub-administrative areas.

Greenwich is a district in the southeast of Greater London, and Woolwich is located within this district.

Arsenal is now one of the most successful clubs in the Premier League and has the same value as a top club.

But when it was first established, the club was not called Arsenal.

In the mid-19th century, employees of the Royal Arsenal, an arsenal located in the Woolwich area, established a club.

At that time, since the club was located in Dell Square, it was simply named "Dell Square".

This was Arsenal in its early days.

As the club grew in size and had its first big boss, Arsenal began its rise.

They changed their name to 'Arsenal' and moved out of the Woolwich area to Highbury in North London.

At that time, the Woolwich area was a suburb and a desert area. It was understandable that Arsenal’s top management chose to relocate for a better future.

But for some fans, this is unacceptable.

They tried to stop it, but failed.

Eventually, they also called Arsenal 'Woolwich Wanderers' and 'Arsenal', all of which were inspired by the club's founding purpose.

This is a very unique group of fans. They do not go to the home stadium to watch the game. They call themselves the "most loyal fans" and at the same time they pay attention to everything about Arsenal.

For this reason, many people say that if you want to see the real Arsenal, go to Woolwich.

After many vicissitudes, the once desert area has become prosperous.

In the center of Woolwich Square stands a large sign.

'This is Woolwich, this is Dell Square, where it all began!'

There is a straight pedestrian street on the left side of the square.

The place is full of neon lights and is bustling with activity.

Dense crowds of people were moving around, and from time to time you could see some fans wearing Arsenal jerseys, but there were more fans wearing old black jerseys.

The team logo is also very interesting.

Different from the current Arsenal logo.

The team logo is three cannons with their muzzles pointed upwards engraved on a shield-shaped logo, with two wisps of leaves on both sides.

Lekai stared at the jerseys and team logos with interest.

Billy explained: "This is Arsenal's early team logo. Although many people here admit that Arsenal is their home team, they don't like Wenger's Arsenal."

Lucky nodded slightly.

Some Arsenal fans have been complaining that the team has lost its iron spirit.

The team played well, but was unable to win at crucial moments and lacked spiritual attributes.

Especially after Vieira, this sentiment became more serious.

And the fans here obviously do too.

After walking along the busy pedestrian street for a while, Billy finally stopped in front of a bar.

The name of the bar is 'Oak Bar' and there is a sign at the door.

'Arsenal fans only today!'

Billy led Lucky into the bar, which was already extremely crowded and messy.

A lot of noise came into my ears, and there was a thick smell of smoke, the environment was a bit bad.

Lucky frowned slightly and fanned his nose with his hands.

Billy walked all the way to the bar counter and shouted to a sturdy middle-aged man, "Kelvin, give me a strong whiskey."

This is a bald white man with a sturdy build and wearing a waistcoat.

The muscles on his exposed arms were knotted, and a turret was tattooed on his biceps, symbolizing the Arsenal team logo.

This is something only die-hard fans would do.

But this die-hard fan never goes to the home court.

Of course, this statement is incorrect. From Billy's explanation, Lekai learned that these people also watched games at home, but since Wenger moved into Arsenal, they no longer went.

Wenger also tried to ease the relationship, but it didn't work, so he just gave up.

This rigid relationship has lasted for nearly ten years.

"I hope you can call a designated driver after you finish this drink!"

The sturdy man smiled bitterly and said, "I don't want to face Elena's roar again."

"Don't worry!" Billy took a sip and said with a smile, "I never drink and drive!"

Lucky glanced: That might be drunk driving!

After that, Billy introduced Lucky, "Our new member!"

The sturdy man laughed and said, "We haven't recruited any new players in a long time. Asians? Great, we don't exclude any race, as long as you like Arsenal!"

After saying that, the sturdy man took a glass of beer, pushed it in front of Lucky, and said, "It's my treat!"

"Hey! Hey! Hey!"

Billy yelled in dissatisfaction; "He is only 17 years old, and he is a player!"

Hearing this, the sturdy man was stunned for a moment and said, "Arsenal player?"

Billy nodded.

The sturdy man frowned; "You know our rules, we don't welcome wimps here!"

Billy said seriously; "He's different!"

After that, the two looked at each other in silence for a moment, and the strong man said; "Okay! I will continue to observe!"

Immediately, the burly man shouted, "Guys, there's a new member joining us, everyone gets a free beer tonight!"

The whole bar was boiling instantly.

Everyone raised their arms and shouted, "Long live Boss Meadows!"

The sturdy man smiled and stretched out his hand to Lucky, saying, "Kelvin Meadows, the leader of the 'Black Jersey' fan organization!"

Hearing this, Lekai was stunned.

Kelvin Meadows?

Isn't this the guy who will launch the 'Black Scarf Movement' in the future?

Arsenal's black scarf movement pushed for Wenger's resignation, mainly in protest against the team's weak style, rising ticket prices and condemnation of the board.

Thousands of Arsenal fans marched from Highbury to the Emirates Stadium, causing a huge uproar.

Many people say that this is the ruthless man who forced Wenger to resign and pried open the wallet of Arsenal's stingy boss Clark!

Lekai calmed himself down, stretched out his hand and said, "My name is..."

"His name is Little Lucky!"

Billy said quickly.

Lucky immediately got angry: "Don't give people nicknames casually!"

Meadows couldn't help but burst into laughter and said, "Little Lucky? That's a great nickname. I hope you can bring luck to Arsenal."

Lucky shook his head helplessly.

He felt that if he continued like this, his first title would be defined as "Little Lucky".

Finally, Meadows made Lucky a glass of juice and gave him a straw.

At this time, the atmosphere in the bar was becoming more and more lively.

The TV hanging from the ceiling was already showing the live game scene.

At Old Trafford, players from both teams have entered the warm-up phase.

The atmosphere in the bar also became lively.

"We will show Manchester United a lesson!"

"We beat Manchester United twice last season and we can do it again this season!"

"After getting rid of this cancer, Arsenal will become even stronger in the future!"

Lucky has seen all of this, and the sentiment of the fans here generally represents the overall optimism of Arsenal fans.

But they didn't know what this game would bring them.

Arsenal played very aggressively at the beginning of the game, but they also paid the price of a yellow card. Arshavin committed a foul in the frontcourt and received a yellow sapphire card!

But it was this foul that aroused the anger of Manchester United players.

In the 22nd minute, Manchester United player Anderson assisted Welbeck to score the first goal .

This goal also made the Gunners fans extremely nervous.

The originally noisy bar became extremely quiet.

In the 26th minute, the iron-blooded Manchester United relied on Evans and Ashley Young's fierce tackles to stop Arsenal's quick counterattack.

The little tiger Walcott was knocked to the ground and rolled over holding his calf.

Players from both sides began to push and shove, and a conflict seemed to be about to break out, but it was quickly stopped.

This scene also made many Arsenal fans dissatisfied.

Because they saw that although they were pushing and shoving each other, the Arsenal players were clearly at a disadvantage.

They are collectively being pushed backwards.

Obviously they were the ones who were fouled, but it seemed as if Manchester United were more justified.

This scene also made Kelvin Meadows extremely dissatisfied.
