Volume 1 Chapter 26 New Jersey
December 25th, Christmas in Europe.
Wenger gave everyone a day off on this day so that the players could fully enjoy the holiday.
However, Lucky still went to the training base to train alone. He had no sense of identity with Christmas, and after the hearing was over, he needed to stay in a state of being able to play at any time.
As the saying goes, sharpen your sword before the battle, even if it's not sharp, it will shine!
On December 27, Arsenal played against Wolves at home.
At this time, Arsenal is already in fifth place in the standings.
[10 wins, 2 draws, 5 losses, 32 points].
There is only one point gap from fourth-placed Chelsea.
There is a gap of 3 points between them and Tottenham Hotspur, which is in third place.
There is no need to think about the top two Manchester giants, as they are the championship contenders .
With Arsenal's current form, it is impossible to shake the status of these two teams.
The points gap is already in double digits and there is no way to catch up.
Unless these two teams are seriously ill.
But that's simply impossible.
Arsenal's goal this season remains a European qualification spot.
At the same time, he had to get rid of that little thorn in North London.
However, things did not go as planned. In this game, when Arsenal scored the first goal, Alexander Song suddenly fell ill and started to rush forward, causing the opponent to equalize in the first half.
This is not the first time Alexander Song has done this.
Wenger has warned this guy many times.
But Song continued to do his own thing, just like a rebellious teenager in adolescence.
At this time, the professor's patience was almost exhausted.
In the second half, Song was replaced by Ramsey.
When Song left the court , the professor didn't even look at him, and Song also lowered his head without any intention of apologizing.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the two were having a conflict.
And in this game, due to Song's reckless advance, Arsenal was tied at home and failed to get the three points of victory!
Throughout the game, Alexander Song scored the lowest 5.8 points.
In response, angry Arsenal fans blasted Alexander Song's social media accounts.
There was a lot of cursing and Arsenal fans were angry.
They could have won the game, but because of this guy's illness, they wasted three points.
They couldn't swallow this.
The most infuriating thing is that this guy always claims to be a top defensive midfielder.
Go to that top defensive midfielder!
In response, an Arsenal fan made a sharp comment.
[Remember! You are not Pirlo, you don't have his kind of job, just be a sweeper, don't always run to the front court! ]
This is the comment with the highest like rate.
Many fans highly agree with this.
'Don't let him run forward, tie Song to the back' has become their slogan.
But this guy is just like a husky, he can't be tied up.
Besides, you can go up, but you better come back!
What's the point of only moving forward and not retreating? !
Just as Arsenal fans were collectively attacking Alexander Song, Song, who couldn't help but feel indignant, hit back.
He started a long article directly arguing with the fans.
When the fans saw this guy, they thought he was a bad player and was also stubborn!
This can't be tolerated!
For a time, the two sides started a massive war of words.
The verbal fight even began to affect other Arsenal players, so Wenger urgently called a halt and ordered Song not to speak again.
Song felt aggrieved, but he had no choice but to obey, so he behaved even more negatively.
…
In the training ground, Wenger looked at Song walking in the field, frowning and feeling depressed.
Arsenal now still needs to rely on Song's defense, so the situation cannot become too tense.
But there are big problems with this guy's training attitude and game attitude.
In response, Patles said, "Why don't we support Le and put some pressure on Song?"
Wenger thought about it and shook his head; "He is still too young. Let him practice for another season. I will give him many opportunities. Now is not the time for him to exert his strength."
Patles nodded, he believed what Wenger said.
After all, Wenger likes to give young people opportunities.
As long as they don't make fatal mistakes, Arsenal is still a good place for young people to level up.
…
On December 30th, Arsenal announced something that shocked everyone.
Arsenal head coach Wenger officially announced that they will welcome Henry back on loan.
After four years away, Henry finally returned to Arsenal.
This news also made all Arsenal fans extremely excited.
Henry is Arsenal's legendary star and their best player!
During Henry's eight years at Arsenal, he scored 174 league goals and 42 European goals.
For this reason, in the election of the 50 best players of Arsenal on Arsenal's official website, Henry was elected the best player in Arsenal's history with the highest number of votes.
This is a living legend.
In fact, Henry had returned to London once before.
It was on December 7, the 125th anniversary of Arsenal's founding, when Henry's bronze statue was unveiled outside the Emirates Stadium.
Henry was there at the time.
And the Arsenal fans were cheering at the moment.
'Sign him! Sign him!'
Perhaps the professor felt that Arsenal now needed a legendary star to stabilize the situation, so he let Henry return to Arsenal on loan.
This incident also set off a sensation in London and even the whole of Europe!
…
London entered deep winter in January.
It was the first snow, and the falling snowflakes covered the whole world in silver.
On a snow-covered road, a young boy wearing sportswear, a woolen hat and a scarf was juggling a ball and running forward.
The boy didn't run very fast, and the ball kept bouncing between his left and right feet.
It seemed to fit a certain rhythm and felt unusually smooth.
The boy's juggling movements were extremely smooth, without the slightest sense of sluggishness.
Suddenly, the boy kicked the ball a little higher. At the same time, he turned his back and gently cushioned the ball with his thigh. The whole ball seemed to be stuck to his thigh without any ups and downs.
A smile appeared on the boy's face. He stretched out his right leg diagonally, and the ball rolled to his feet. The boy hooked it and it flew over his head and back to its original position.
The boy also turned around at the same time, continuing his previous juggling action and running forward.
For a full kilometer, the ball under the boy's feet did not touch the ground once.
Finally, the boy stepped on the ball and stopped it in front of the entrance of a training base.
Ha~~~~~~
Lekai put his hands to his mouth and blew out a breath.
As winter deepens, the weather in London starts to get a bit cold.
Especially the gusts of wind seemed to blow directly onto the body through the clothes, which felt really uncomfortable.
But there was nothing Lucky could do, he could only try his best to adapt.
Two weeks passed before the hearing ended.
During this period, Lucky was called up to practice with the first team several times during training matches.
But Wenger still did not give him a chance to play.
He didn't know what Wenger was thinking, but he did want to .
He couldn't wait any longer.
Half a year has passed since the last official competition.
Due to the problem of work permit, Lucky hasn't played a game for half a year.
If this continues, he feels like he is going to forget what it's like to play a game.
But he has no choice. If Wenger doesn't give him a chance, he can't play.
Hey~~~~~
After entering the training base, Lucky went straight to the locker room.
It was still empty, and Lucky was the first to arrive.
I changed into my training clothes and ran to the training ground, only to find that the snow on the grass had been cleared.
Arsenal's cleaning staff are still very efficient.
Lekai did a simple warm-up exercise and then started to do ball sense training.
This has become a compulsory course for him.
Apart from sleeping, he almost kept glued to the ball. During this boring training, Lekai's sense of the ball improved by leaps and bounds.
I dare not say that I can compare with Arteta, but for a rookie, his progress is shocking enough.
After practicing for a while, some first-team players began to come over one after another.
"Good morning!"
"You're the first again!"
"Wait till I finish my warm-up, then we can practice together!"
Walcott, Van Persie, Arteta and other players greeted Lukay again.
They had smiles on their faces.
Lucky's performance in the training match has won their recognition.
Apart from anything else, in terms of defensive ability, Luka has already become one of the best in Arsenal.
It can be said that as long as Lukaku appears in the main team, the defensive strength of Arsenal's back line will be improved by several levels.
After the warm-up, when everyone was waiting for the formal training, Wenger did not show up, but Patrese came over instead.
He walked straight up to Lucky and said, "The professor asked you to go to his office!"
Hearing this, Lekai was stunned for a moment.
He went into the professor's office a little too often.
Some people may not get in once a season.
He has been there at least twice this season, and this time is the third time.
"Now?" Lucky asked.
"Now!" Patelais patted Lucky's shoulder with a smile in his eyes; "Go! It's a good thing!"
Hearing this, Lekai's eyes lit up.
He felt it should be about his own appearance.
Lekai arrived at Wenger's office door with ease. Just as he was about to knock on the door, he heard hearty laughter coming from inside.
This made Lekai stunned for a moment.
Wenger has been bitter and resentful since the beginning of this season. He rarely smiles, let alone such a hearty laugh.
Lucky was a little curious.
Boom boom!
"come in!"
There was a response from inside the office, and Lekai pushed the door open and walked in.
As soon as he entered, Lekai saw the professor sitting on the reception sofa with someone else.
There was coffee on the table, and the two seemed to be having a pleasant conversation.
When the man turned his head, Lucky froze.
"Hen...Henry!"
The iconic boiled egg hair and a pair of bright eyes under the dark skin.
Henry was sitting there. He smiled and nodded at Lucky, then turned to Wenger and asked, "Do you need me to step aside?"
Wenger shook his head and waved to Lucky.
Lucky took another look at the gun king before walking over.
"In the near future, I will give you a chance, and the club will re-sign a contract with you, a formal contract for five years!"
Lucky nodded repeatedly, his eyes occasionally drifting towards Henry.
Wenger smiled and continued: "There is also the issue of housing. The Highbury Apartments are already in use. You can move there!"
"Uh-huh!"
Lucky is still looking at Henry.
Henry even felt a little embarrassed and started to touch his nose.
Wenger was furious.
"Stop looking!" Wenger roared. This shout not only stunned Lucky, but also scared Henry.
But Henry remembered that the professor was an elegant man and rarely lost control of his temper.
Wenger glared at Lucky with hatred, calmed himself down, and continued; "There will be plenty of opportunities to see in the future..."
After a pause, he turned around and began to fumble, saying, "And your jersey."
"Soccer jersey?" Lekai was stunned for a moment: "I have a soccer jersey!"
The number 29 Arsenal jersey.
"Forget it, this is your new jersey!" Wenger took out a set of jerseys from a cardboard box beside him and handed it over.
Lekai took it and turned it over, his pupils suddenly shrank.
Even Henry on the side was stunned and looked at Wenger in surprise.
In Lucky's hand is a brand new Arsenal jersey.
There is a big number [4] on the back of the red and white jersey!
