Chapter 3 The Future Depends on You to Create

"This is a train from London Paddington Station on the Great Western Railway bound for Oxford, stopping at Sloughford and Reading along the way."

Following the station announcement, the crowd on the train swarmed toward the exit.

Among the crowd, a young man wearing sportswear and pushing a suitcase with a hint of excitement on his face kept looking around, as if Grandma Liu was visiting the manor.

Robertson arrived in London from Scotland two days earlier than the meeting time.

Ever since he learned that he had transferred to Arsenal, he could no longer control his mood and set off early.

London is the capital of the United Kingdom and a world-famous city.

Robertson seemed very excited at this time, this will be the place where he will play football in the future.

He is already an Arsenal player!

This is a huge affirmation for Robertson.

Following the flow of people out of the station, Robertson saw a person in Arsenal uniform holding a sign with his name on it among the people picking him up.

"Good morning sir!"

Robertson quickly ran over and said.

The staff member said; "Andrew Robertson?"

Robertson nodded: "Yes! It's me!"

"follow me!"

The staff member turned around and didn't even help Robertson with his luggage, but Robertson didn't feel anything.

After the two arrived at the underground parking lot, they got into the car and the receptionist said, "In addition to sending you to the training base, my task is to help you get familiar with London. Is there anywhere you want to go?"

Robertson shook his head and said: "No, let's go directly to the training base!"

The receptionist smiled, snapped her fingers and said, "Great!"

After saying that, the vehicle started, drove out of the underground parking lot, and headed towards the suburbs of London.

Along the way, Robertson kept looking at the surrounding buildings.

Watch as the steel and concrete city gradually disappears and turns into a lush green belt.

Robertson knew they were about to reach the final destination.

The receptionist was not a talkative person so there was not much communication between the two.

However, Robertson still asked curiously; "Did any teammates come early?"

The receptionist shook his head and said, "No! If it were in the past, our captain would have stayed for training, but this time he has returned to China, so there is currently no one in the training base!"

Robertson nodded and said, "Where are the new players?"

"A few have already been reported, and the rest will come over in the next two days." After speaking, the receptionist said, "You are not the fastest!"

Robertson scratched his head and said; "I need to help with some business at home."

The receptionist nodded and said; "No one will care about this, you just need to play well."

After saying that, the receptionist turned around and said with a smile; "Let football speak for itself. If you want to get respect and special treatment, then show your performance!"

Robertson was shocked!

He knows very well that the survival rule of a wealthy family is that the weak eat the strong.

All treatment is commensurate with strength.

The competition here will be something Robertson has never felt before.

For this reason, Robertson also felt a little anxious.

The vehicle arrived at the training base quickly, and Robertson was dropped directly into the office building by the receptionist.

Team manager Martinez was already standing at the door.

Seeing Robertson walking down, Martinez smiled and extended his hand. After the two shook hands in a friendly manner, the guy even helped Robertson carry his luggage.

There were even more reserved greetings along the way, which made Robertson a little flattered.

The two came to the office, but Robertson did not see head coach Mourinho.

"Your coach is busy with other things, I will take care of the signing." Martinez smiled and said: "In the contract, your agent expressed that he wants to sign a 2+3 contract!"

"The two-year observation period is an observation period. Once you perform well during the observation period, your salary will be increased immediately. In the third year, your weekly salary cannot be less than 400,000 euros!"

Robertson nodded, this was what they had discussed in advance.

Martinez glanced at Robertson and said, "However, we have a new contract form here. Do you want to consider it?"

"New contract form?" Robertson was stunned for a moment.

Martinez nodded and said; "We will sign a four-year contract with you, with a weekly salary of 200,000 euros. This means that even if your performance is not good, you can still earn 200,000 euros, so which one do you want to choose? "

Robertson pursed his lips.

The first contract is a bit risky. Once his performance is not as expected, he will probably be given up after two years or sold in advance.

But the advantage is that it has more initiative and the upper limit is higher.

The second contract is more conservative. As long as he signs it, he will receive a weekly salary of 200,000 euros, which is already several times his original salary.

After pondering for a moment, Robertson said, "I still stick to the first contract."

Martinez smiled.

This is a competitive player.

Now that the choice has been made, Martinez is no longer ink,

He took out the contract, signed it, stood up and extended his hand.

"Welcome to Arsenal!"

Robertson also endured his excitement and extended his hand; "This is a great club, and it is an honor for me to join Arsenal."

Martinez was in a good mood. He smiled and said, "I don't have anything to do for a while. Do you want to visit the Honor Room?"

Robertson asked expectantly; "Is that okay?"

"Let's go!"

The two walked out of the office building and headed towards the Hall of Fame.

Arsenal's Hall of Fame is a separate building, about 100 meters away from the office building.

The two walked for a while.

Robertson saw a low house.

The house doesn't look that new, but it is full of history.

There is a huge Arsenal team logo in the middle of the entrance.

There are two models of old artillery on both sides.

"Do you know the history of Arsenal?" Martinez said.

Robertson nodded gently.

Martinez: "Arsenal's predecessor was a gun factory. The building in front of us is a restoration of the manufacturing workshop at that time, but now it is filled with honor trophies! Let's go! Let's go in quietly!"

Walking into the Hall of Fame, a cool breeze blew.

There was a soft wool blanket on the ground.

After entering the Hall of Fame, all kinds of trophies and photos placed everywhere are visible.

For example, Arsenal's past celebrities, famous captains, coaches, etc., or photos of historical moments can be found here.

Martinez led Robertson directly to a trophy.

The trophy was placed in the middle, highlighting its status.

The huge ear-shaped trophy was the Champions League trophy.

It was engraved with the words ‘2014-2015 Champions League Champion! Arsenal!’.

Robertson couldn’t take his eyes off the trophy when he saw it.

He stared at the trophy, observing every detail.

For any player, this trophy is their ultimate dream.

“That was a memorable summer”

Martinez also looked at the trophy, his eyes were a little blurred, and his tone was murmured, as if he was reminiscing.

A slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"It was very hot that day, so hot that people could not stand it. The whole 90 minutes of the game could not decide the winner. Everyone thought the game would be dragged into overtime, but we didn't think so! We solved the battle in advance and snatched the trophy from Juventus!"

"This is also the first Champions League trophy in Arsenal's history!"

Martinez looked at Robertson and said; "Want to touch it?"

"Can I?" Robertson looked expectant.

"Of course not!"

Martinez paused, then took out the key and smiled; "But who cares!"

After that, he opened the glass cover and revealed the trophy inside.

Robertson excitedly leaned forward, stretched out his hands gently, and touched it lightly with his fingertips, as if he was appreciating a work of art.

Cold and smooth touch!

The silver trophy reflects his face!

This is the first time Robertson has been so close to the trophy.

Looking at the trophy, for some reason, a strong desire rose in his heart.

Robertson stared at the trophy and said; "That moment should be great!"

"Great!" Martinez nodded and said immediately; "But we will experience it again in the future"

After that, he patted Robertson on the shoulder and said: "And these need to be done by you!"

Robertson's face was a little solemn, and a heavy feeling filled his heart.

This is something he has never felt in previous clubs.
