Volume 3 The Myth of the Gunslinger Chapter 9 There is always a risk in life

The visit of the boss Kroenke surprised Li Huan, and after welcoming Kroenke into the living room, Li Huan did not say: "Mr. Kroenke, drink some tea or coffee?" ”

Kroenke smiled: "Tea, Chinese tea." ”

Looking at Li Huan's elegant movements, like a peer making tea, Kroenke praised: "Very professional, I can't see that you are the super defender on the court." ”

Li Huan's mind flashed the scene of Gao Yuan Jundai's father making tea in the tea room, and said a little abruptly: "This is the simplest way to make tea, Mr. Kroenke smiled." ”

Kroenke took a sip of tea and said, "How does it feel to be on the team?" ”

Li Huan sat down opposite Kroenke and said: "Very good, Coach Wenger and the club take good care of him, and he has begun to slowly integrate into the team, but it will take a while to reach a real tacit understanding with his teammates." ”

Kroenke smiled: "You have performed very well, two assists, three goals, two trophies, and even my words on the board of Arsenal have more confidence than before, and now those old British antiques Britain understand how right my decision is, and they will regret it for the rest of their lives when they choose the Ukrainians." ”

Li Huan shook his head and said: "Such a championship is really nothing, it's not worth mentioning, the league is the real test." ”

"yes, the league is the real test." Kroenke groaned for a moment and said the real purpose of his visit, "It will take a while for you to integrate into the team, and this year we have spent so much transfer fee, we have been forced to win the championship, Coach Wenger hopes to bring you another familiar helper, do you have the right person?" ”

Li Huan was stunned, how to ask him about this matter, even if he asked, it should be Coach Wenger to ask him, not Kroenke, and then think of Kroenke's surname, it is not difficult to guess that they must already have a candidate in their minds, but just ask their own thoughts, no matter how high his value is, he has no right to decide on these issues, Li Huan thought about it and said: "Arshavin, Strelve, and Eduardo are all good players, and their personal style of play is also suitable for Arsenal." ”

Kroenke laughed and said, "Haha, your thinking is very similar to that of Professor Arsene Wenger, Arshavin, this is the team's next target." ”

There can be more powerful teammates around him, as long as there is no competition, this is what any player wants, and Li Huan is naturally no exception, but he doesn't think that his old club Hoffenheim will release him, "Mr. Hope has already released me, I'm afraid I won't let Arshavin leave, otherwise it will have a great impact on Hoffenheim's results." ”

Kroenke had a confident smile on his face and said: "Arshavin's agent contacted Arsenal first, and we have the initiative, otherwise with the friendly relationship between our two clubs, we would not have done anything to poach them." ”

Li Huan was a little surprised, but he was immediately relieved, Wenger had ideas about Arshavin before, and now Arshavin took the initiative to come to the door, he must be tempted, but it has cost so much money to buy himself, after Wenger told Kroenke, it is normal for Kroenke to ask his opinion, "Arshavin is very strong, and coming to Arsenal will definitely be of great help to our attack." ”

Kroenke smiled and said, "As long as you think it's okay, we don't have to worry about this matter, someone else will handle it." Today I am mainly to see you, you have just arrived in London, and you don't know how convenient life is. I can't rest assured that old fool of Hillwood. Now it looks like it's not bad, it's easy to get to the stadium and the training base. ”

Li Huan shrugged his shoulders and said, "My requirements for life are very simple, as long as I have food and shelter." ”

"You and Professor Wenger are the same kind of people." Kroenke stood up, "I'm stopping by to see you, I'm going to the old man's banquet in Hillwood in the evening, you can rest at home." ”

After Li Huan sent Kroenke away, he was a little moved, but he soon smiled, and said in his heart that he was Kroenke's investment of 100 million euros, so he was naturally not at ease, and he was afraid that anyone would have to come to check it often.

The second day's training has completely shifted to the league game against Everton, the first game of the new season and a crucial test for Arsenal and Li Huan, if this game cannot be won, then the first two warm-up games and two championship trophies will not be able to stop the fans and the media from doubting.

But this game is definitely not easy to play, Everton has been in excellent form in the last two seasons, and has stabilized in fifth place in the league, and eliminated Manchester United Liverpool to reach the FA Cup final last season, and Arsenal was almost blocked out of the Champions League by Everton last season.

Everton's nickname is Toffee, but their style of play is more like kraft candy, difficult to entangle, although Wenger has always liked to play mainly with me, and does not like training for surnames, but in the past two days, it has also strengthened the team's passing and receiving speed, increased the ability to insert the back row into the attack, hoping to be the first to break Everton's door away from home.

Li Huan's position is still not stable during this time, and he is still swinging between left back and right back, this is not that Wenger cannot confirm Li Huan's technical ability and characteristics, but Li Huan's left and right feet are too balanced, and the left and right sides are all-inclusive, while Arsenal's original left and right fullbacks are not weak, but there are many shortcomings.

Left-back Klich is often short-circuited, Gibbs is too young; Sagna's defence was solid, but the cross was not flattering. Traore is fast and sharp on the break, but his defensive position is very cuppy, which is really not good material for full-backs, and Eboue is more suitable to play as a full-back.

Professor Wenger can't Li Huan become two now, serving as two fullbacks, in this way, he is relieved, and now he uses Li Huan to let Li Huan play which position is in poor condition, of course, to play the main force, not the substitute.

Of course, the professor who likes to transform the players has also considered putting Li Huan in the position of the back waist, but there are too many players piled up in the Arsenal midfield, and it is really a waste to install another Li Huan, and it is necessary to cooperate with other players more tacitly in the middle, unlike the wing, Li Huan can do it alone. So the professor gave up this plan to transform.

After training, Arsene Wenger called Li Huan to his office.

Wenger's office is very simple, full of the smell of books, when Li Huan entered the office, Wenger really meditated on the huge tactical board behind him, this has always been his habit, either pondering tactics or endlessly watching football game videos, and he never got tired of it.

Wenger turned around and said, "Sit down, Lee." ”

Li Huan sat down and said, "Coach, is there anything you called me to do?" ”

Arsene Wenger still smiled and said: "The league starts tomorrow, how do you feel?" ”

Li Huan smiled and said, "I'm very excited, and a little excited, I can't wait." ”

Arsene Wenger said: "The whole world wants to see how you perform at Arsenal, it's a pressure, I'm sure you're feeling it, hopefully you can get rid of it sooner, but it's better to be prepared for bad, it's hard to play against opponents, it's a long league, and it's not going to be a good time. ”

Li Huan nodded.

Arsene Wenger continued: 'What do you think about the fact that the team are now looking to buy your team-mate Arshavin? ”

Li Huan had already heard what Kroenke had said, and was not surprised, and said, "Sesk, Theo, Nasri, do they know?" ”

Bringing in new players will cause changes in the entire dressing room, and many clubs will ask players for advice when bringing in reinforcements, just like Barcelona wanted to bring in Robinho, but finally gave up because of the players' opposition. Arshavin is a midfielder who can also play as a winger, so Li Huan naturally wants to know what his teammates' opinions are.

Arsene Wenger said: "I've spoken to them and they don't have a problem and now the whole Arsenal goal is the title, we've been away from it for too long. ”

Li Huan thought for a while and said: "Arshavin is a world-class player, of course it is very good to be able to buy him. ”

Wenger pondered for a moment and said: "Although our midfield is very strong, even if you look at the entire European football world, we can count the top few, but we are more of a control of the organization of players, there are few midfielders who can bring deep breakthrough ability, your breakthrough ability is very strong, and the speed is also very fast, but after all, you are a defender, not a striker." We need players like Arshavin. Mr. Kroenke also agreed to the matter, but it was only a matter of negotiation between us and Hoffenheim. ”

Li Huan said with a serious expression: "If Arshavin comes, the pressure on the club and the coach will be even greater. Wenger finally showed a smile, a wry smile, and said: "With your transfer of 100 million euros, there is nothing more, five years, we have to win something, there are countless Arsenal fans around the world who have been disappointed for five years, we have an obligation to make them happy." It hasn't been too long for me, and now I'm running out of energy. I've been cautious all my life and rarely take risks, but now that it's gambling, we might as well gamble a little bigger. At most, I leave from here. ”

Arsene Wenger stood up and walked to the large window facing the training ground, looking at the players who had not yet left, looking a little depressed.

Li Huan also stood up and said with a smile: "Coach, you always have to take a risk in life." Otherwise, it's too boring. ”

Wengerhode turned around and looked at Li Huan for a long time, with a real smile in his eyes, not a bitter smile, and said: "Yes, if you don't take risks once in life, it's too boring." ”
