Chapter 704 The Myth of the Gunner
(Thank you brothers for your support during the double period, kicking the ball has also fulfilled the promise and added an update)
The boss Kroenke's visit was beyond Li Huan's expectation. After welcoming Kroenke into the living room, Li Huan didn't say: "Mr. Kroenke, would you like some tea or coffee?"

Kroenke smiled and said, "Tea, Chinese tea."

Seeing Li Huan's elegant movements, making tea like flowing water, Kroenke praised: "You are very professional, I can't tell that you are the super guard on the court."

The scene of Gao Yuanjundai's father making tea in the tea room flashed in Li Huan's mind, and he said with some regret: "This is the easiest way to make tea. Mr. Kroenke laughed at me."

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

Li Huan sat down opposite Kroenke and said, "Very well, Coach Wenger and the club have taken good care of him, and he has gradually integrated into the team, but it will take some time to achieve a real tacit understanding with his teammates."

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

Li Huan shook his head and said, "This kind of championship is really nothing, not worth mentioning. The league is the real test."

"Yeah, the league is the real test." Kroenke pondered for a while, and said the real purpose of his visit, "It will take a while for you to integrate into the team, and we have spent so much transfer fee this year, You have been forced to win the championship, Coach Wenger hopes to introduce another helper you are familiar with, do you have a suitable candidate?"

Li Huan was taken aback. How could he ask him about this matter? Even if he asked, it should be coach Wenger who should ask him, not Kroenke. Thinking about Kroenke's character, it is not difficult to guess that they must already have something in mind. No matter how high his social status is, he has no right to decide on these issues. Li Huan thought for a while and said: "Arshavin, Streve, Eduardo, They are all good players, and their personal style of playing matches Arsenal."

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

To have stronger teammates around him, as long as there is no competition, this is what every player hopes, and Li Huan is no exception, but he doesn't think his old club Hoffenheim will let him go, "Mr. Hope has already Let me go, I'm afraid I won't let Arshavin go again, otherwise it will have a great impact on Hoffenheim's results."

Kroenke showed a confident smile on his face, and said: "Arshavin's agent first contacted Arsenal, we have the initiative, otherwise we would not do poaching due to the friendly relationship between our two clubs. "

Li Huan was a little surprised, but he immediately felt relieved. Wenger had thought about Arshavin before, and now that Arshavin took the initiative to find him, he must be tempted. However, buying himself has already cost so much money. Wenger and Kroenke After speaking, it was normal for Kroenke to ask for his own opinion, "Arshavin is very strong, and coming to Arsenal will definitely help our offense a lot."

Kroenke smiled and said: "As long as you think it's okay, we don't need to worry about this matter. Someone will handle it. I mainly came to see you today. You just came to London and don't know the rules of life. But it's convenient. I can't rest assured that that old idiot Hillwood is doing things. Now it seems that this place is not bad, and it is very convenient to the stadium and training base."

Li Huan shrugged 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 just passing by to see you, and I'm going to the old man's banquet at Hillwood tonight, so you can rest at home."

After Li Huan sent Kroenke away, he was a little moved, but he quickly laughed it off, thinking that he was Kroenke's [-] million euro investment, so he was naturally worried. If it were anyone else, he would have to come and check often one time.

The content of the training on the second day has been completely transferred to the match against Everton in the league. This is the first match of the new season, and it is also a key match to test Arsenal and Li Huan. If this match cannot be won, then the previous Neither the two warm-up matches nor the two championship trophies can stop the doubts from the fans and the media.

But this game is definitely not easy to play. Everton has been in excellent form in the past two seasons and has stabilized in the fifth position in the league. Last season, they eliminated Manchester United and Liverpool to reach the FA Cup final, while Arsenal Nana was almost blocked from the Champions League by Everton last season. Thinking about the thrilling situation at that time, Wenger is still in a cold sweat.

Everton's nickname is Toffee, but their style of play is more like brown sugar, which is difficult to deal with. Although Wenger has always liked my style of play and doesn't like targeted training, he has also strengthened in the past two days. The team's speed of passing and receiving the ball increases the ability of the back row to attack, and hopes to be the first to break Everton's gate in the away game.

Li Huan's position has not been stabilized during this period, and he is still swinging between left back and right back. This is not because Wenger can't confirm Li Huan's technical ability and characteristics, but because Li Huan's left and right feet are too balanced. Arsenal's original left and right full-backs are not weak, but they have many shortcomings.

Left-back Clichy often short-circuits, Gibbs is too young; Sagna's defense is solid, but the pass is not flattering.Traore is fast and has a sharp breakthrough, but his defensive position is very poor. It is really not a good material for a full-back. Eboue is more suitable for a full-back.

Professor Wenger can't let Li Huan become the second and serve as two full-backs. In this case, he can feel at ease, but now he uses Li Huan to play whichever full-back is in poor condition. Of course, he is the main player. , rather than a substitute.

Of course, the professor who likes to transform players has also considered putting Li Huan in the midfielder position, but Arsenal have too many players in the midfield. Only if the players cooperate more tacitly, unlike the wings, Li Huan can do it alone.So the professor gave up the plan of this transformation.

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

Wenger's office is very simple and full of the smell of books. When Li Huan entered the office, Wenger was really meditating on the huge tactical board behind him. This has always been his habit. Either meditating on tactics or endlessly watching football game videos, he never gets tired of it .

Wenger turned around and said, "Sit down, Li."

Li Huan sat down and said, "Coach, what do you want me to do?"

Wenger still smiled casually and said, "The league starts tomorrow, how do you feel about it?"

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

Wenger said: "The whole world wants to see your performance at Arsenal. This is a kind of pressure. I believe you must have felt it. I hope you can get rid of it as soon as possible. But it is best to be prepared for the bad. The opponent is very difficult. The league is very long, so don't fight for this moment."

Li Huan nodded.

Wenger continued: "The team now hopes to buy your teammate Arshavin, what do you think?"

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

The introduction of new players will cause changes in the entire locker room. Many clubs will solicit the opinions of the players when they sign up, just like Barcelona wanted to introduce Robinho, but finally gave up because of the opposition of the players.Arshavin is a midfielder and can also play as a winger. Li Huan naturally wants to know what his teammates think.

Wenger said: "I talked to them and they have no objection. Now the goal of the whole Arsenal is the championship. We have been away from the championship for too long."

Li Huan thought for a while and said, "Arshavin is a world-class player, so it's great to be able to buy him."

Wenger pondered for a while, and said: "Although our midfield is very strong, even if we look at the entire European football world, we are among the top few, but we are more players who control the organization and can bring deep breakthroughs. There are very few midfielders in China. You have a strong ability to break through and are very fast, but you are a defender after all, not an avant-garde. We need players like Arshavin. Mr. Kroenke also agreed to this matter, but we and Huo Finnheim negotiations."

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, it was a wry smile, and said: "With your transfer of [-] million euros, there is nothing more. After five years, we have to win something. There are countless people in the world. An Arsenal fan has been disappointed for five years, and we have an obligation to make them happy. It’s not too long for me, and now I’m out of energy. I’ve been cautious in my life and rarely take risks, but since it’s a gamble now, we You might as well gamble a bit bigger. At most, I will leave here."

After Wenger finished speaking, he stood up, walked to the large window facing the training ground, and looked at the players who hadn't left, his figure was a bit bleak.

Li Huan also stood up and said with a smile, "Coach, you have to take a risk in life. Otherwise, it would be too boring."

Wen Gehuo turned around and looked at Li Huan. After a long time, there was a real smile in his eyes, not a wry smile, and said: "Yes, life is too boring if you don't take a risk once."
