Volume 1 Chapter 19 Wenger: Targeting the European war zone!
After the first training match, Lucky began to appear frequently in the main lineup.
Whenever Lucky joins the main lineup, the situation will improve greatly.
Not only the enthusiasm for playing football, but also the overall state has become completely different.
Arsenal is still the same Arsenal, but there seems to be some inexplicable flavor.
And this "taste" also makes Wenger value Lucky even more!
Arsenal Club has urged the Ministry of Labor to start the hearing in advance many times, but they always say "right away, right away", but there has been no movement, which makes Wenger particularly helpless.
He hopes to use Lucky this season.
He should be able to perform well after two or three seasons of training. If the effect is good, he may even give Arsenal enough surprises.
But there was no news about the hearing yet, which made Wenger feel helpless.
It's so depressing to have a good talent but not be able to get training on the court.
At this time, the soul of cultivation in Wenger has begun to stir.
He has trained many excellent players, so he doesn't mind training a super core for Arsenal.
Moreover, Lucky's talent shows that he has enough possibilities.
In the Premier League, Arsenal beat Swansea 1-0 in the fourth round, which relieved some of the pressure on Arsenal, which was at the center of the storm.
But they soon lost to Blackburn in an away game, and public opinion surged again.
Then they won 3:0 against Bolton and public opinion quieted down again.
In the seventh round of the North London Derby, Tottenham Hotspur lost 2:1 to Arsenal, which once again caused an explosion in public opinion!
At this time, the Arsenal players felt like they were on a roller coaster.
Lose away and win at home.
Public opinion is sometimes scolding and sometimes quiet!
As for wanting to be praised?
How can it be!
It is already a face-saving thing if public opinion remains quiet.
After all, Arsenal’s performance doesn’t deserve any praise!
After eight rounds of the league, Arsenal ranks 10th in the standings with [three wins, one draw and four losses].
1: Manchester City [seven wins, one draw, zero losses], unbeaten in eight games, ranked first with 22 points.
2: Manchester United [six wins, two draws, zero losses], also unbeaten in eight games, 20 points.
3: Chelsea [six wins, one draw and one loss], 19 points.
4: Newcastle United [four wins, four draws, zero losses], also unbeaten in eight games, 16 points.
5: Liverpool [four wins, two draws, two losses], 14 points.
6: Tottenham Hotspur [four wins, one draw, two losses], 13 points.
Among the top six teams in the Premier League, the BIG6 occupy five seats. The Magpies have emerged as a dark horse and performed well in the early stages of the league.
On the other hand, the remaining Arsenal had a disastrous start and is now struggling to climb up.
…
On October 22, Lucky and Billy came to the Oak Bar again.
"A glass of whiskey!"
"A glass of juice, thank you!"
Lucky and Billy sat directly on the bench.
Lucky turned around and said, "There are not many people here today!"
In response, Kelvin Meadows sneered, "These guys all went to the home court to watch the game! Assholes with no willpower!"
Lucky couldn't help but smile and said, "You go too!"
"I'm not going!" Meadows snorted; "Wenger is still at Arsenal, so I won't go. I don't like wimps!"
Lucky shrugged and said, "It will get better in the future!"
"Whiskey! Juice!"
Meadows pushed two drinks over, leaned on the bar with both hands and said, "By the way, I never asked you, when are you going to play?"
Lucky shrugged and said, "My hearing hasn't started yet. I need to get a labor certification first!"
"So, what position do you play?"
Just as Lucky was about to speak, Meadows waved his hand and said, "Don't say anything, let me guess!"
After saying that, he looked at Lucky's body shape.
Lekai's body has become stronger and his thighs have become thicker, giving him a sense of power.
More than a month of muscle-building training has achieved phased results.
Today, Lekai's weight is approaching 80 kilograms. Of course, what makes Lekai happiest is that his height has also increased by two centimeters.
Today, Lucky is 1.84 meters tall.
Meadows looked at him for a while and said, "Defender! You have gained muscle, so you are a defender!"
Lekai smiled and said, "I used to be a defender, but now I play as a defensive midfielder."
"Defensive midfielder?" Meadows was surprised, then he said playfully, "Special talent clause? You want to be Song?"
Lekai asked, "Is this a compliment?"
In fact, for many ordinary players, being able to become Song is a proof of talent.
However, Song is still too far away from being the top or even world-class.
Meadows waved his hand and said, "It's really boring to chat with you!"
Lucky smiled and changed the subject; "If I play, will you come to watch me play?"
Meadows couldn't help but laugh.
"That depends on how you perform."
After saying that, he chuckled and said, "If you want me to appear on the court, then you must at least be as good as Vieira."
Lucky grinned and said, "A world-class defensive midfielder! Can you wait for me for ten years?"
Meadows rolled his eyes and ignored him.
In fact, Meadows is quite popular among Arsenal fans.
Some even call him the 'Last Watcher'.
Of course, there are also many people who don't like him and call him 'Graham's remnants'!
At that time, the conflict between Wenger and Meadows was quite serious.
The 'Black Jerseys' fan group was one of the largest fan groups at Arsenal at the time.
After Meadows fell out with Wenger and no longer appeared on the court, he was unable to absorb new forces.
The old fans finally couldn't stand the torture of going to Japan anymore and secretly went to the home stadium to watch the game.
Meadows turned a blind eye to this .
In fact, the conflict at that time was neither big nor small.
This is a conflict of ideas between the two people, and there is no need to impose this grudge on others.
But Meadows was extremely persistent about this.
He will not appear at home until Arsenal fails to play with enough iron-blooded spirit or Wenger leaves.
The ninth round match is Arsenal's home game.
The Emirates Stadium was packed with fans who, despite chanting 'Arsenal! Go to hell!', still loved the club.
This is what it means to be insincere. Because of the deep love, I am even more angry.
The recent good results have gradually made them feel relieved.
The same was true in this game. Under the cheers of the home fans, the Arsenal players played very fiercely.
Three goals were scored in the game, and although one was scored by the opponent, it was not a big deal.
Arsenal gradually regained their form.
Among them, Van Persie scored twice in the second half to end the game directly.
In the post-match press conference, Wenger finally responded.
He said he was ashamed of the results early in the season, they have found their form and Arsenal will continue to win.
When asked by reporters about his goals for this season, Wenger was outspoken.
'Arsenal's goal is to get a place in the European competition! '
Arsenal need places because they need enough attention and games to run the club properly.
Otherwise, thanks to that stingy boss, Arsenal would have declined long ago!
…
The next day, Lucky came to training early.
But unlike before, there was one more person beside me during morning exercises.
Chamberlain shaved his head to show his determination and start over.
Luka was very happy about Chamberlain's recovery. After all, Chamberlain was his best friend at Arsenal.
In the days that followed, Chamberlain followed Lucky's training pace closely, and it must be said that his progress was quite good.
At least Wenger has given him two more chances to play, which made Chamberlain smile from ear to ear.
He almost thought his career had died at Old Trafford.
After regaining his energy, Chamberlain became lively again.
The training camp was about to begin, and Lucky and Chamberlain also went into the locker room to change clothes.
As soon as the two walked in, the bustling locker room suddenly became quiet.
Lucky stood at the door, glanced into the room, and then walked silently to his locker.
Chamberlain followed closely behind Lucky.
Wherever the two walked, the first-team players had awkward expressions on their faces.
That’s right, Lucky and Chamberlain were isolated.
At first, Lucky didn't pay attention to the so-called locker room conflict, but when he found out, it was too late.
This was also what Szczesny couldn't stand, so he secretly revealed it to Kokai.
'Song is saying bad things about you!'
Very simple, and childish approach.
But some people just fall for it.
Compared to Lucky, a new player who has just arrived, Song, who has played for Arsenal for nearly four years, has a deeper relationship with his teammates.
Song's method of isolation was also very simple.
He won’t play with anyone who talks to Lucky!
When he heard the news, Lucky was very happy.
A big, strong man actually uses such a trick?
He thought that Song would argue or conflict with him over competition issues.
Even prepared for battle!
But there is none of that, it’s just a very childish approach to isolation.
The first-team players were also caught in the middle and it was difficult for them to do anything.
But most of them choose to talk to Lekai when Song can't see.
Lucky has never thought about solving this problem.
Anyway, why bother with someone who is leaving?
But compared to Song, the newcomers are too much.
Chamberlain said more than once that the Korean striker had made a foul during the training match.
Even Chamberlain was injured because of this.
The club also warned South Korean striker Park Joo-young, who quickly admitted his mistake but continued to do as he pleased.
After this guy transferred, he started to get very close to Song. I guess he was instigated by him.
Or maybe he simply thought that Chamberlain and himself were both substitutes, and that they were young and easy to bully?
Lucky didn't know what this guy was thinking.
But since it didn't happen to him, Lucky chose to keep quiet.
But some people are like this, the more face you give them, the more shameless they become!
