Chapter 761
(first update)
On Tuesday morning, Arsenal played their last training match at the Emirates Stadium. After the training match, the team's chairman and general manager led the team to fly to Stuttgart by chartered plane to participate in the third round of the Champions League group stage.Sinsheim does not have an airport, so Arsenal have to go to Stuttgart first and then transfer to Sinsheim.

When Arsenal's chartered flight arrived at Stuttgart Airport, they found that there were already more than 2000 fans waiting there. For a giant team like Arsenal, no matter where they go, it is impossible not to be known by the media. Arsenal's style of play is very Popular with fans, there are many fans in Germany, but more German fans welcome Li Huan. Over the past five years, Li Huan has built a strong fan base in Germany. This is why Li Huan opened a company and a clothing store here. s reason.

Li Huan is a special player in Arsenal. The club equipped him with two professional bodyguards. This did not arouse disgust in the Arsenal team, because no matter who invested [-] million euros, they would not protect him well. They can understand This situation.When Li Huan got off the plane under the protection of two bodyguards wearing sunglasses, there was an enthusiastic shout at the airport, "Li Huan!" "Li Huan!" "Li Huan, I love you!" Then the fans surrounded him Come here, pass the flowers to Li Huan, the camera phone in your hand keeps flashing, I want to keep Li Huan's appearance in the camera, because this is a great moment.The first World Footballer trained in the Bundesliga has returned home.

The two bodyguards became very embarrassed. Although they separated many fans, many fans crowded over and sent flowers to Li Huan. Li Huan then handed flowers to the bodyguards around him. The two bodyguards Soon you will be surrounded by a sea of ​​flowers.

The Arsenal players looked at Li Huan in surprise and envy. They did not expect that a player who left the club and came back would receive such a welcome. With these crazy fans, the Arsenal players can imagine that these fans will bring the club They also gradually understood why Li Huan was able to get such a high annual salary and receive such high treatment at Arsenal. This is not accidental.

The staff of the club where Arsenal arrived earlier had already brought their cars over. The Arsenal players rushed past the fans and got on the bus, driving slowly towards Sinsheim. The fans who came to pick up the plane were still behind the bus. Calling Li Huan's name, Li Huan couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself. He didn't expect that he would be so popular.

Looking at the more and more familiar scenery and buildings, Li Huan imagined, every bit of the past five years was projected in his mind like a movie lens, when the Arsenal bus was in the only five-star hotel in Sinsheim After stopping at the Wesslos Hotel, Li Huan realized that he had come to this city and Sinsheim as an enemy of Hoffenheim when he saw Hoffenheim fans wearing blue jerseys around the entrance of the hotel.

The Hoffenheim fans at the entrance of the hotel also came to welcome Li Huan. The Arsenal players and officials had already understood Li Huan's status in the hearts of the Hoffenheim fans. Li Huan and two bodyguards communicated with fans outside the hotel.

After arriving at the Weissloos Hotel in Sinsheim, Wenger first held a short meeting with the players, told them the tasks of the two days, and then asked the players to rest in the room and wait until the evening to go to the Rhein-Neckar Arena Familiarize yourself with the field.

It took only three hours to fly from London to Stuttgart, but it took more than an hour on the bus. The players were also a little tired. Most of them slept in their rooms. Only Li Huan went to the lobby to make a phone call.When he came to the place where he lived for many years, Li Huan was really not in the mood to sleep, so he called his old friend here.

Two hours later, the team left the hotel and went to the Rhein-Neckar Arena for training, but when Wenger led the team to the stadium, the stadium was being sprinkled, and the management staff stopped the Arsenal bus. At the door, the assistant coach got off the bus and said, "What's going on? We have an appointment with the club."

"I'm sorry, the stadium is under maintenance right now, so we can't arrange training now." The manager of the stadium still shook his head politely.

Wenger stepped out of the bus and said gently, "Please call your manager. We made an appointment two days ago."

The manager of the stadium spoke in a very German style, polite and sensible but non-negotiable, and said: "I'm sorry, even if you have an appointment with the club, you can't play on the stadium now. Let's put it this way, it's our Hofen I can't agree to Heim's team coming to train, this stadium belongs to Mr. Hope, and the Hoffenheim club is only renting it."

Wenger saw that he couldn't make sense, so he called Rothaus, the manager of the Hoffenheim club, "Manager Rothaus, what's going on, we have to adapt to the venue, why don't we let it in? It doesn't suit us. Make an agreement in advance."

Wenger's words were very gentle, without any anger, but the words were full of accusations.

Rothouse said: "What, there is such a thing, I will ask the management staff. I'm sorry, just wait a moment."

A few minutes later, Rothaus called and said to Wenger: "Coach Arsene, I'm sorry, the stadium is indeed under maintenance and cannot be opened for use, because the stadium is not owned by the club, so we can't force it. And this kind of use is very harmful to the turf of the stadium. How about you go to our training base to train. We originally gave you the court to train. We trained at Hoffenheim’s base. Now you can train with us , everyone squeeze together."

Wenger is also an old man. He still doesn’t understand what the Hoffenheim club means. The managers and Rothaus must be acting. Wenger is very clear about the cunning of the Germans. His hometown borders Germany. , Wenger was very angry at Hoffenheim's trick. He said coldly: "Thank you, Manager Rothaus, for your kindness. We will not train today."

After finishing speaking, Wenger hung up the phone and said to the players who were walking down from the car: "Go back, there will be no training today."

Paul pointed angrily at the management staff of the stadium, and said, "You guys are really despicable. If you use this method to deal with the visiting team, so what if you win."

The manager of the stadium said coldly: "The team's victory or defeat has nothing to do with us. Our duty is to maintain the turf."

At this time, Li Huan took out his mobile phone and said to Wenger, "Professor, let me call Mr. Hope."

Wenger shook his head and said, "It's probably useless to fight."

Paul said: "Let's try, our training has already been arranged, so canceling it is not good for us to maintain our state."

Wenger thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll also call Coach Rangnick and ask what's going on."

Li Huan called Hope, but Hope's private phone was turned off. Wenger called Lannick, but Lannick asked Wenger to ask Rothouse. Wenger had just finished asking, so it was naturally impossible. get different answers.I had no choice but to sit on the bus and go back to the Wesros Hotel. Before leaving, the assistant coach Paul uttered harsh words to the surrounding Hoffenheim fans and the stadium management staff, telling them that when they go to London, let Huo Finnheim couldn't even make it to the pitch.

Li Huan was also very annoyed. There was no war of words between the two teams before the game. The fans at the airport and hotel gave him a warm welcome. Li Huan almost felt like he was at home, but now the cold facts told Li Huan that those were all illusions. , the relationship between the two teams that are about to go to war will not be friendly. The Germans treat competition as they treat war. The miracle of Berne that year is a good illustration of this point.Li Huan let go of the warmth in his heart. Football is war, and war cannot show mercy to opponents.

Back at the Wesros Hotel, Wenger gave the team a holiday in a fit of rage, and asked the team to go out and relax. Anyway, they couldn't train anymore. It would be better for the team to go out and relax than being bored in the hotel.

In the evening, Arsenal held their first press conference at the Wessloos Hotel. Wenger vented his anger. He said to the German, British and French media who came to interview: "I didn't expect to come to Germany. With such treatment, we have no way to train. I don’t know if this is intentional or unintentional. For a German club that has always been efficient and rigorous, it is incredible that such a thing happened. No matter what, we suffered a loss. Football should be fair and I don't want to see something like this insulting fair play." But Wenger later remedied assistant coach Paul's words, "I guarantee that Hoffenheim will not be treated like this when they go to London. , Arsenal will do all this for the visiting team."

When looking forward to the game later, Wenger was not so polite, "Arsenal is in a good state now, I think we have hope to go further this season, and it is not impossible to reach the final. Of course What we want to do most now is to win this game and get the first place in the group. Beating the defending champion will help our self-confidence a lot, and I believe we can do this. The strength of Hoffenheim There was a certain weakening last season. Of course, I am referring to Li Huan. However, if both teams have Li Huan, I believe Arsenal must win. The background is very important to a team. Hoffenheim There is still a little less time to rise, and they still need time to consolidate their peak state."
