Chapter 36 Candy Skin

London, Woolwich, 'Oak Bar'.

"That's right! Just kill them!"

"Don't let the Tottenham people get too arrogant!"

"Go, go, go!"

"Beautiful Arteta!"

"Song! Go and steal! Oh~~Shit!"

In the bar, Arsenal fans shouted wildly, waving their arms, drinking, and cursing, which also made the atmosphere in the bar extremely high.

Billy was one of them. Compared with usual, he was more 'excited'.

Lucky was still sitting at the bar, chatting with Celtic Meadows.

"This game has been won, we played well!"

Lucky said after taking a sip of juice.

In response, Celtic Meadows nodded and said: "It's a little closer to the points, shit! Tottenham actually fell behind us by 10 points."

Lucky was silent.

Due to Arsenal's successive failures some time ago, they plummeted in the standings and now have reached the sixth place.

As of the 24th round, Tottenham Hotspur has 50 points, ranking third in the standings.

Arsenal is in sixth place in the league with 40 points.

So, this game is necessary. If they can't win, they will most likely be trampled under the feet of Tottenham.

And this is unacceptable to Arsenal fans.

Thinking of this, Lucky was silent again.

Arsenal fans seem to have a special quality.

They can quickly digest those bad things.

Arsenal's performance plummeted after a series of failures some time ago.

If it were other teams, they would have exploded and started to parade.

Fans would force the club to introduce a scapegoat to take responsibility.

But Arsenal doesn't have these.

They seem to have gotten used to it all, and they have forgotten all the bad things in just one week.

Lucky didn't know how to comment on this.

"Wenger didn't give you another chance to play?" Celtic Meadows asked with his chin on his hand.

Lucky nodded and said, "The professor doesn't seem to be in a hurry to use me."

Celtic Meadows smiled, "Because he wants to compete for the Champions League qualification, it's not suitable to train soldiers at this time. When Arsenal stabilizes the situation, he will let you play."

Lucky turned his head and said in surprise, "You seem very sure!"

Meadows raised his eyebrows and said, "Boy, you don't seem very confident?"

Lucky shrugged and said, "Really?"

Meadows smiled and said, "You performed very well in your debut, very well. If it weren't for Henry, you would be the best player of the game! This is a wonderful debut. If this kind of performance can't get a chance to play, then Arsenal will not be called the "Arsenal"."

Lucky was silent.

In fact, he didn't feel much about his performance in that game.

As Henry said, this was a debut that was destined to be forgotten.

The next day, all the media in London and Europe were discussing "Henry's return."

Under this big gimmick, Lucky could not be mentioned by the media even if he performed well.

No praise, no one paid attention.

After that game, Arsenal fans seemed to have forgotten him.

Of course, Lucky didn't expect to get much praise from the media, but he still wanted some equivalent returns.

As for the issue of playing, Wenger obviously wanted to compete for the Champions League zone, and he was not in the mood to train his players at this time, even if Lucky's debut was good.

What Wenger wanted was a stable Arsenal to grab more points.

Lucky, a newcomer who had just played one game, was obviously not in his plan, nor was he Arsenal's current combat power.

Sighing, Lucky shook his head and looked at Meadows and said, "How was my performance in my debut?"

"Very good!" Meadows said directly.

Lucky: "Will you come to watch me play in the next game?"

Meadows was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said: "No! If this is the question, then your performance is not good enough."

Lucky rolled his eyes and said: "So what kind of performance do you want?"

Meadows asked back: "Why do you want me to watch your game?"

Lucky thought for a moment and said: "At least, this will let me know that someone in the stands is paying attention to me?"

Meadows smiled and shook his head and said: "Okay, when I think your performance is good enough."

Lucky said unhappily: "So, what does this excellence mean? You don't expect me to perform a hat trick, right? I'm a defensive midfielder!"

Meadows couldn't help laughing, patted Lucky on the shoulder and said: "I have my own standards."

Lucky no longer insisted, this guy would only laugh ambiguously.

I guess he couldn't lose face and admit defeat to Wenger.

At this time, the game was over.

In the 2011/2012 season, Arsenal beat Tottenham Hotspur 5-2 and won the North London Derby.

This was also a revenge for the loss in the first half of the season.

This game also made Arsenal fans very happy.

Billy kept humming on the way home, looking very happy.

Lekai was speechless.

You just lost the possibility of winning the league and experienced elimination in the Champions League.

A victory in a derby game made you full of energy again. Isn't it a bit too easy to be satisfied?

But this may be the Arsenal fans.

In the long years without a championship, they are used to failure.

Rather than struggling in pain, they prefer to treat it with an optimistic attitude.

After a big victory, the team began to sprint towards the Champions League.

During this period, almost all the main players came into battle and began to scramble for points crazily.

Substitutes don't get a chance to play.

Lucky is like this.

This is even more true for Chamberlain!

Compared to Lucky, this guy is anxious.

Therefore, he works extremely hard in training.

Wenger also sees all this and is pleased with this change.

"Chamberlain played well."

Patrice nodded and looked at Van Persie with a strange look.

Wenger turned to look at the old man and said: "Don't think about those fictitious things."

Patrice pursed his lips, his expression still ugly.

There have been some bad rumors circulating within the club recently.

Now there is still one year left on Van Persie's contract. When the club took the initiative to find Van Persie and wanted to extend the contract, the other party shied away.

The club did not give up. After several handovers with no results, a gap inevitably began to appear.

Why not renew?

After Fabregas' incident, the club has become more and more sensitive to this kind of thing.

Especially in the outside media, some people began to talk about the news that Van Persie's agent contacted other teams, which made the matter even more confusing.

Patrice hopes this is just a rumor, a fabricated story.

But judging from the current development, Van Persie may really have the idea of ​​​​leaving the team.

Although for now, everything is in a state of calm.

The team and players work together to fight for the European theater!

Their performance in the competition is also getting better and better.

But no one knows what’s underneath this layer of candy skin.

Patrice walked straight to the court and shouted in the direction of Lucky; "Let's go! It's time to experience it!"

Lucky broke away from the training match, picked up the towel on the side and simply wiped his face before leaving with Patrice.

On the way to the infirmary, Patrice walked in front, silent.

Lucky also said nothing.

This is the current internal situation at Arsenal. Under all the glamorous appearances, it is full of speculation and doubts.

When they arrived at the infirmary, team doctor Levin asked Lucai to sit on the chair.

Lucky took off his clothes, leaving his upper body naked. Levin used a tweezers-like precision to measure something and pinched the skin fold under the shoulder blades.

After repeating the test three times, he said: "We can't gain weight anymore!"

Lucky's weight at this time has reached 83 kilograms, an increase of ten kilograms compared to before.

The thickness of body fat caused by weight gain is somewhat excessive.

After Patrice nodded and asked Lucai to leave, he asked Levin for a detailed physical examination form.

Bone density, muscle mass, flexibility index, and more are documented.

After confirming, Patrice nodded and said, "The results are very good."

Team doctor Levin smiled and said, "Do you want to train him into a tank?"

Patrice shook his head firmly and said, "He can't be a tank!"

Levin said thoughtfully: "You seem to have special expectations for him?"

Patrice raised his eyebrows: "Why do you say that?"

"You are not that enthusiastic about Cesc Fabregas. Do you think his talent is greater than Cesc Fabregas's?"

Levin asked.

Upon hearing this name, Patrice's expression turned gloomy and said, "Don't mention such a name to me."

He only has naked hatred for the star he personally trained left in a betrayal way.

Levin raised his hands and said, "Okay, we won't talk about him."

After a pause, he said, "So, you haven't answered yet!"

Patrice was silent for a moment and said, "I do have special expectations for him!"

Levin smiled; "You want him to be the next Spaniard?"

snort!

Patrice sneered and said: "He will become the next Vieira!"

Hearing this, Levin suddenly fell silent for a moment, and then said:

"Are you sure this is the right choice?"

Patrice said: "Whether it is the right choice or not, I think you also know very well. In fact, from the beginning, our concepts were very different from Arsene's."

"He believes that everything must be implemented according to tactics and advocates that tactics come first!"

"But we know very well that football is not just about tactics!"

Patrice clenched his fist fiercely and said sternly; "Indomitable spirit! Confident will to win! Trust in teammates! These will become the key factors that determine the direction of a game. Players are not tools, they have their own ideas. , Huge energy will burst out in strong emotions, but we have always been contrary to this!"

"It's time to make things right!"
