Chapter 147 Unexpected Big Discovery
The night was still heavy in the early morning, and Li Liang woke up again.

Even the NPC Henry, who was reproduced with the help of his subjective impression, made him feel that his spoken language, which he had become more and more confident in, was not enough.

The process of trying to persuade NPC Henry to stay was full of twists and turns. Li Liang felt that all his language accumulation was not enough, and he used the "help" mode almost non-stop, and even had to wake up one after another. It was very difficult to use translation apps and other reference books. Barely able to go on.

Li Liang began to feel grateful for his persistence in front of Jiongjiu. These were obviously more effective than all the previous language training combined!
It was almost dawn, and Li Liang didn't feel sleepy at all. The most important thing was that even if he went back to the virtual training at this time, he wouldn't make any progress.

——It seems that at least we need to prepare more "materials" for communication.

He simply opened his personal collection folder on the computer and browsed.

This is by no means aimless killing time, he wants to take a good look at everything related to Henry, so as to enrich his understanding of his idol.

"Arsenal's 49-match unbeaten record", "2005-2006 UEFA Champions League final", "Ice Prince Dennis Bergkamp"...

Wait, wait, Li Liang, who has always been a self-proclaimed gun fan, has collected a lot of videos related to his beloved Arsenal.

He suddenly remembered something, and started searching his posting records again, and soon found the text about Arsenal that he had written in college.

It was written by myself after staying up all night after the first round of the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League from 2009 to 2010. Looking back now, Li Liang suddenly felt emotional.

It was also the first time that Henry returned to the Emirates Stadium as an away team player since he transferred to Barcelona. Li Liang remembers having mixed feelings when he saw this scene in front of the computer and with his dormitory roommates.

Ibrahimovic was still at Barcelona at the time, and scored twice at the Emirates Stadium in the same game.

Looking at his lyrical and tactical analysis post at that time, he suddenly felt more and more embarrassed——

Leaving aside the lyricism, what is written in the tactical analysis? !

Li Liang immediately went back to the folder just now, and found the game to look back.

Soon he found that when he revisited his memory, he felt almost completely different from before!

Shocked, he repeatedly replayed the short scene before the opening, and finally found the close-up of Henry in the flashing shot that year——

It is the source of the famous phrase "... when the train of time slowly passed the Emirates Stadium, 32-year-old Henry sat there, looking at the past affectionately, it was his 22-year-old shadow..." It was Henry's first A brief close-up of the first time I sat on the visiting team's bench and stared at the stands——

Li Liang stared closely at the screen, and it seemed that Henry was paying attention to a huge multinational flag pattern tifo in the stands (giant posters, flags, jerseys or slogans in the stadium, etc.).

Li Liang was so focused that he didn't even notice that his observation ability had far surpassed that of nearly 6 years ago——

He was finally sure that there were tears in the eyes of Henry in the camera——

He didn't expect Henry, whom he admired the most, to be such an emotional player!
Soon he felt relieved again, thinking about the popularity and love Henry had received at Arsenal, everything became easy to understand.

But he remembers hearing the news of Henry's transfer to Barcelona when he was in high school, it was like a bolt from the blue!
Even now he still doesn't understand, why did Henry leave Arsenal?
Various relevant reports and analyzes I saw at the time pointed out that Henry was trying to win more honors, and some voices said that it was because of a rift with the club and even the professor (Wenger)...

Li Liang couldn't help thinking, could it be that Henry also wanted to get the chance to fight more and stronger opponents?
Isn't this consistent with the method I used to at least achieve the goal of a minimum overall rating of 44 in order to survive?

If Li Liang had just started learning how to play football a few months ago, Li Liang wouldn't have thought about these deep-seated issues, but now he can't help but keep thinking——

Then why am I working harder and harder, wanting to win more and more——

So much so that he even gave up the smooth route and started on this increasingly difficult path?
Could it be the same reason as Henry's choice?
He immediately laughed at his absurd idea——

How can the current self, an older "rookie" who has just entered a semi-professional club, be compared with Henry? !

……

After watching the video of the next game, he paused more than a dozen times in less than 10 minutes. This time it was not because he had a new inner feeling.

—— Li Liang suddenly realized that even on his small monitor, watching football games with a limited viewing angle has made a major discovery that is completely different from before!

When he was looking at a picture, he would involuntarily conceive of the positions and movements of other players on the offensive and defensive sides outside the picture, and he immediately discovered time and time again that his "prediction" accuracy was about half!
Especially Messi, Ibrahimovic, Xavi, Cesc Fabregas, Arshavin, and Diaby, more than half of the running positions and passing routes of these key players are similar to their "predictions"!

But he also found that Messi's running position is the most unpredictable!

Li Liang immediately quit all the pages, and casually searched for a UEFA Champions League group match at the end of last year - the 3:2 victory over Manchester United in the Bundesliga by Wolfsburg.

After watching for a few minutes, Li Liang closed the page again, and he found that it was exactly the same as the Arsenal-Barcelona match just now——

This made him almost forget that everything he had to do now was actually to complete the recruitment of NPC Henry, in order to force himself to truly achieve the goal of being able to communicate freely in English!
……

The next day happened to be a training session in the morning. During the group confrontation, Li Liang suddenly realized that that feeling had disappeared most of the time, and only occasionally flashed during his Hurricane team trials and previous training.

What made him even more confused was that the more he concentrated, the less he could find this feeling, and instead it happened from time to time when he devoted himself to confrontation training.

There is a strong feeling that haste makes waste.

However, during the video analysis session of the tactical class that followed, Li Liang once realized that what happened in front of the computer in the apartment early in the morning was definitely not an illusion!

After dinner, he went back to the apartment to do his "homework" until the lunch break. Li Haohao, who had been thinking hard all the time, fell asleep with difficulty.

This time, because of targeted preparations, he finally recruited NPC Henry after several attempts.

He found that with the addition of Henry, the most difficult NPC, it became very easy to negotiate with the rest of the NPCs.

Li Liang was relieved, at least one of the most tangled problems was solved!
——It seems that my oral English is no longer a problem to complete basic communication on the court.

He said to Jiongjiong, "Okay!
Now please help me exit the system's 'help' mode. "
