Volume 3: The Myth of the Gunslinger Chapter 4: Heavy Dreams

The full name of the Emirates Cup is the Emirates Cup, and the sponsor is Emirates Airlines, which is also the sponsor of the Emirates Stadium. The award ceremony was held simply and solemnly, with no other football legend and business and political celebrities in attendance, and it was Arsenal's greatest coach in history, Chapman, and Emirates President Al. His Highness Mark Tow.

When captain Cesc Fabregas lifted the trophy, Chapman and Li Huan, who were on crutches, chatted on the side.

In the modern sense, Herbert? Chapman is Arsenal's greatest manager, and even Arsene Wenger can't compare to him, even if Wenger is just as great. The first FA Cup win, the first league title, Arsenal metro station, red and white jersey, muscle trainer: jersey badge: chronograph clock...... almost everywhere in Arsenal there is a shadow of Chapman, and there is still a bronze bust of Chapman in the Emirates Stadium.

"You are one of the most important adventures in Arsenal's history, the last time we chose the unknown Wenger from the three of Venables, Cruyff, Wenger, and I hope you can become a Gunners legend like Arsène." Chapman couldn't hide his old age, but his words were still clear and his speech was still coherent.

Li Huan has great respect for this legendary coach, he did not pretend to be modest, nor was he arrogant, and said: "There is a long way to go, and I will do my best." ”

"Two days to assist, to score, to win the title, you got off to a good start, but you have to fight a spell and that's the regret of me, Arsène and Arsenal, which is that we don't have a European championship honour, Arsène is 60 years old, and he has a good chance of becoming the first coach in football history to lose the final of the three major European cups, so he has been cautious in the transfer market and agreed to Kroenke's risk. I believe you will be able to fulfill this dream for us and Arsenal before I go to see God. Ahem, ahem. Chapman coughed violently, and his crutches didn't seem to be able to support his body.

At this moment, Li Huan suddenly felt a heavy responsibility, which is not only an old man's entrustment, but also the dream of Arsenal fans all over the world.

Li Huan said with a solemn face: "This is also my dream, and I believe that it will soon become a reality." ”

"I hope to see your statue in the stadium again." Chapman pointed to his bust on the court, patted Li Huan on the shoulder, and said, "Go and celebrate, don't pay attention to me as an old man." ”

Li Huan didn't take a few steps before he was killed by Emirates Chairman Al. His Royal Highness Maktom shouted, "Hello Lee, congratulations on winning the championship, you are the pride of Asia." ”

Li Huan bowed to His Royal Highness the prince and said, "Your Highness, the championship is dedicated to Arsenal and you." ”

"I'm paying a billion pounds to ask you to play for the UAE." Mark Tow smiled, just like in 2004 he told Arsenal chairman Hillwood to sponsor him to build a new stadium, but that time he offered 100 million pounds, Hillwood's eyes were green at that time, and then he made a very good business, owned the naming rights of the Arsenal stadium for 15 years, and made billions of pounds of profits for the then unknown Emirates Airlines, and the young man in front of him obviously made more profits than the Emirates Stadium, he could think of if it succeeded, What kind of sensation will it cause in the UAE, there are many, many people who are willing to pay this money.

Li Huan's body shook violently, and the smile in Mark Tuomu's eyes became stronger, he didn't believe that there was anything in the world that money couldn't do. A billion pounds, if not the young man who can't become the richest man in the world's sports circle, can at least be in the top five.

Li Huan's expression slowly calmed down, and said, "Thank you, Your Highness Mark Tuom, but just like Coach Wenger said, you can only sleep in one bed a day and eat only three meals - why do you need so much money?" ”

Li Huan turned around to celebrate, leaving only a back to the stammering and incredulous Emirates Chairman and CEO Al. His Royal Highness Prince Maktom.

However, after the celebration, when taking a shower in the locker room, Li Huan was still thinking about Maxhim's proposal, "A billion pounds!" Just playing for the UAE national team and marrying a lot of wives, what a fool I am! ”

England little tiger Walcourt and Li Huan don't know each other, and after the game, they were very enthusiastic about Li Huan, and said: "After winning the championship, what are you thinking, God is not guarding, do you want a lover?" ”

Li Huan smiled slightly and said, "No, I just took a nap and dreamed that I suddenly got a billion pounds." ”

Walcoat burst out laughing, "A billion pounds? Haha, with all this money, we don't have to play football, we don't have to do anything, we can play all over the world. ”

Li Huan laughed: "Yes, so, for Arsenal, we can't have a billion pounds either." ”

After taking a shower, Li Huan changed his clothes and was about to go back to the hotel, Walcott said: "Li, don't rush back, come with us to feel the atmosphere of victory." ”

Li Huan has not found a suitable house yet, and still lives in the Hilton Hotel, but the current room money is paid by the club. After I went back, I just watched TV on the Internet, and there was no other entertainment, so I followed Walcott, Fabregas, Wilmaren, Van Persie and others to an Italian restaurant.

The restaurant is not big, but it is very lively, it is already crowded with Arsenal fans wearing red and white jerseys, they are holding beers, talking loudly, Li Huan, Fabregas and others entered the door, everyone in the room stood up and applauded them together.

"Hey, it's Li, China Li."

"Chinese Lee, that's great!"

"Congratulations, Sesk, picking up the trophy again."

"Robin, your goal is beautiful."

"Theo, you've been playing for too short." ……

There was a messy and noisy shouting in the restaurant, and someone rushed to Li Huan's side, grabbed Li Huan's shoulder, and said, "Thank you for teaching the ugly Scots a lesson." I really want to beat them up. ”

These fans and customers seem to see Arsenal's big names here, each of whom comes up to ask for autographs and group photos, just loudly exchanging their joy and opinions on the game with the players, and offering to make a table for them to eat.

Walcott looked at Li Huan with a smile and said, "How is it, the atmosphere is very good." ”

Li Huan said happily: "There will be another place for pastime in the future." ”

Cesc Fabregas laughed: "For the newcomers to Arsenal, it's like your home, as long as the coach doesn't come here, we can drink with confidence, and when I first came to Arsenal, I used to eat here. ”

At this time, a fan with a typical goatee walked over, handed Li Huan a glass of dark beer, and said, "Can you please have a drink, Li." It's such a pleasure to see you here. ”

Walcoat joked, "Horn, I brought Lee, won't you invite me to a drink?" ”

Horn laughed and said, "Okay, I'll have a drink for Theo too, but if I invite each of them, the manuscript fee will be gone." ”

Fabregas said to Li Huan: "This is Horn, a writer, our die-hard fan, who wrote a very famous book "Stadium Madness", which is dedicated to Arsenal fans. ”

Li Huan picked up his wine glass and touched it with Horn, and said, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Writer." ”

Horn said happily, "I really didn't expect your English to be so good." Your performance today was great, and if you can lead Arsenal to the Champions League trophy, I will write you a biography. ”

Hearing the words Champions League trophy, the restaurant fell silent instantly, the Champions League trophy, this is the eternal pain in the hearts of Arsenal fans, the same Premier League centennial club, the same G14 giants, Manchester United already has three trophies that symbolize the highest honor in Europe, Liverpool five, and Arsenal is zero, Arsenal fans have to endure the Red Devils and the Red Army ridiculing them that they can't even compare with Nottingham Forest, and even their sworn enemies Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea fans often sarcastically say: What is arrogant, It's not like we don't even have a black and white photo of the Champions League.

Li Huan stood up with a wine glass and said: "No one will remember the second, I am here for the championship, and the efforts of Professor Wenger and Arsenal will be rewarded." Believe me, 100 million euros will not be spent in vain. Walket also stood up and said, "Yes, we will win the championship, don't worry, we will prove to the bunch of bastards in Manchester who is the man." Walcoat said yes after Arsenal played Manchester United last year, and Evra quipped that the game between Manchester United and Arsenal was a match of 11 men and 11 babies, which caused an uproar at the time.

The fans at the restaurant also stood up excitedly and said, "Yes, Manchester United is a piece of, we were better than them back then." Lee, Theo, Sesque, Robin, show them a Champions League. Van Persie said: "How can we take one, we have to take four, more than Manchester United." Theo Walcott said: "No, take six, surpass Liverpool and become the strongest club in the Premier League." Horn laughed and said, "Haha, take ten, surpass Real Madrid and become the strongest club in Europe." The fans in the restaurant shouted, "Yes, the best club in Europe!" Dominate Europe! The gunslinger is invincible! Amid the crowd's passionate shouting, Arsene Wenger walked into the restaurant at some point, standing by the door and listening quietly to his disciples and fans shouting for European domination, the 60-year-old coach with a smile of relief on his face as thin as old bark.
