Volume 3 The Myth of the Gunslinger Chapter 134 The Battle of the Captains Continued

Galla was the first Arsenal player in 20 years to be removed from the captaincy, but it was because he exposed discord in the dressing room, such as the inside story of Van Persie and Theo Walcott almost making a move in the dressing room after the north London derby was tied 4-4 by Tottenham last season. For example, there is a player in the Arsenal team who is a black sheep and several of his teammates have complained to him about this player. Arsenal's young players were also criticised for being greedy for money. It caused a huge sensation in Britain at the time.

Arsene Wenger called a team meeting and suspended Galla for one game, fined him £180,000 with two weeks' salary, and soon removed him from his position as captain and replaced him with Cesc Fabregas, who was also the first non-French captain of the Wens Gunners.

In fact, Fabregas's ability is enough, but his age, experience and prestige are not enough to be the captain of a giant like Arsenal, but at that time, Arsenal did not have a suitable player as the captain, and the two old players Toure and Almunia were too quiet and not capable enough to convince the young talents, so Fabregas was actually a pioneer in Shuzhong.

And now Li Huan is in the camp of Arsenal, whether it is ability, status, annual salary, age, honor, or even surname is more suitable than Cesc Fabregas to be the captain, after playing for more than half a season, Li Huan has also established a certain prestige in the team, some media and some Li Huan supporters hope that Li Huan will become the captain It is normal, but more media hope to use the topic to play mess up Arsenal.

After Fabregas became the captain, although he did not lead Arsenal to achieve any honors, but there was no fault, in this case, rashly taking Fabregas and letting Li Huan be the captain is simply a humiliation for Fabregas, which will definitely cause the split of the team.

Fans and the media have covered the incident vigorously, and Cesc Fabregas has not been able to take a stand as a person involved, saying in his column for The Sun: "Li Huan is one of the players I respect the most, he has unrivalled skills and charisma, if he wants to be captain, I can make Xian, but it all needs to be decided by the coach and the players." ”

Cesc Fabregas certainly doesn't really want to give up the captain's armband, as last year Cesc Fabregas was ambitious enough to say, "I really want to help Arsenal do great things, win the title and make history." That's why I joined Arsenal. "Cesc Fabregas is taking retreat as an approach, saying that he wants to be virtuous, but he also says that it needs to be decided collectively by the coach and the players.

After Cesc Fabregas expressed his views on the captain in the column, Li Huan's agent Watts immediately came to London from Germany, after Li Huan's successful transfer to Arsenal, Watts's status in the agent world soared, and now he is now the most ace agent in Germany. But for Li Huan's affairs, Watts personally took care of everything, firstly, to show his attention to Li Huan, and secondly, Li Huan's affairs involved important interests, and Watts had to take them seriously.

In Li Huan's home, Watts saw the beautiful reporter Jia Lei, but Watts didn't see it, since Li Huan didn't shy away from him, he naturally knew what he should do, although he is now an ace agent, but in front of Li Huan, Watts is still like the nameless junior back then, he doesn't have the idea of controlling his employer like other agents, and he doesn't have the ability.

Jia Lei poured Watts a glass of water, and then went to the study to surf the Internet, so as not to interfere with their conversation.

Watts moistened his throat with saliva, and said, "Li Huan, this captain's battle is not a small commotion." ”

"You're here in a hurry for this?" Li Huan leisurely browsed the newspapers that Jia Lei bought, and Li Huan obtained a lot of news from print media, because Jia Lei didn't want him to stay at the computer for too long, saying that the radiation was too powerful.

"There are other things, but it's also a very important thing," Watts said. ”

"Really?" Li Huan put down the newspaper and said with interest.

"Yes, if it's in Germany, it doesn't matter, but in England, the captain's thing is important. In the UK, there is a story of daring to captain, the famous handsome Shankly took Hughes for a ride in Liverpool, and when the car was stopped by the traffic police, Shankly angrily pointed to the car and told the traffic police: "Don't you know who is inside?" Future England captain! 'It shows how important a captain is in the UK. Li Huan asked rhetorically: "Do you want me to compete for the position of captain?" Watts nodded heavily and said: "Exactly, captain of the giants, it is a great honor and title for you, and winning the championship as the captain is also an even greater honor." ”

Li Huan shook his head and said: "Is the captain of Manchester United winning the championship in 08 Ronaldo or Rooney?" ”

Watts smiled bitterly and said: "Yes, some teams are some exceptions, but that is a big disparity in ability between Gary Neville and Ronaldo, and you and Fabregas are not so big a disparity, and now the outside world is also rumored Fabregas-Lee model, I hope you can make it clear to the outside world, that is, you Li Huan, is the core player of Arsenal, the spiritual leader, of course, I am not saying that you have to fight now, but you should express your position to show that you still care more about the position of the captain." ”

Li Huan smiled slightly and said, "If you ask me to compete for captain now, I really want to say that you are old and confused and should retire." This question, in fact, I understand what Wenger means, he hopes that after Fabregas's transfer, I can become the captain, and even hopes to use me to contain Fabregas, so that he does not dare to mention the transfer and concentrate on playing for Arsenal. But for the current Arsenal, I think it's better to be stable and united, you are not a player, I don't know, the current Arsenal is not monolithic, there are many contradictions and gangs, I and Fabregas are still a little united. In addition, I am really not interested in this captain, unless I have no choice, I will not take over, I think it is good now. ”

Watts thought for a moment and said, "Then do what you want, I'm just reminding you not to take the position of captain too lightly." ”

Li Huan said: "It's hard for you, such a big company, no matter how big or small, is so thoughtful for me." ”

Watts shook his head in satisfaction and said, "Don't think I'm too troublesome. In addition, I would like to tell you something, I hope you will think about the World Cup, time is running out, and in less than three months, the national teams will be confirmed. Joining Germany is a win-win option. We don't talk about money, you are worth tens of billions now, money is nothing to you, but have you considered the honor, the honor of the World Cup, without this honor, you will never be able to become a king at the level of Pele and Maradona. Li Huan smiled bitterly and said: "Participate in the German team, win the World Cup, and become a hero of Germany, Watts, I really haven't thought about this, although I have a good impression of Germany." Don't talk about it again. ”

Watts' expression was a little gloomy, and it was a great pity for him as an agent that he couldn't participate in the World Cup. But he had already been a lobbyist for the German Football Association and Li Huan had spoken to him many times, and it didn't work anymore, Watts had a simple Chinese meal at Li Huan's house, and then left London and went back to Germany.

After Fabregas expressed his position in the column of "The Sun", Li Huan also talked about his attitude through his column in "The Sun", "Fabregas has done a good job in the position of captain, we have worked together very happily, and it is very funny for the outside world to say that I am willing to be the captain, because if I am willing to be it, I can be in Hoffenheim, I hope the media will not be boring to hype this matter, Arsenal has a lot of stories for them to report." ”

Li Huan and Fabregas have expressed their opinions, so that the media has no reason to hype, the turmoil of the Arsenal captain finally subsided, the team and fans turned their attention to the game with Bolton, but in the Arsenal team, the impact of the captain's battle has not completely ended, the players who had no idea about it also began to carefully consider whether to get closer to Li Huan or get closer to Fabregas, and the relatively harmonious relationship between Li Huan and Fabregas also had a trace of estrangement.

Due to heavy snow in London, Arsenal's home match with Bolton Wanderers was postponed to January 21, and in the 22nd round of the league, Arsenal will go to Reebok Stadium to play Bolton Wanderers on January 18, which means that in three days, Arsenal will play two games with Bolton. This will not only cause aesthetic fatigue among fans and affect attendance, but also bring a certain degree of difficulty to Arsenal, because no matter how weak the team is, it will also adjust its strategy and tactics according to the previous game. However, they will have to pay attention to these two games, because once they win both, it means that Arsenal will pull away from second place by 11 points, and the lead of 11 points in the 22nd round of the league is almost equal to the title in hand.

Manchester United and Chelsea are also aware of the crisis, with Sir Alex Ferguson and Carlo Ancelotti both making declarations that no matter how many points Arsenal lead by any point, they will not give up unless Arsenal have won the title. In the 22nd round of the league, the match between Chelsea and Manchester United was held the day before the Arsenal game, Manchester United and Chelsea put pressure on Arsenal with two hearty wins, Chelsea beat Sunderland in 11th place 7:2, and announced to Arsenal that they must continue to win if they want to win the championship.
