Chapter 31 Opponents, Arsenal Youth Team

富勒姆青年队，在2006至2007年赛季的青年足总杯比赛中。第一轮在主场在0比2的不利局面下，半小时内连搬三球。最后以3比2的比分战胜南安普顿青年队。

In the second round, away to challenge the "Little Black Cat," the Sunderland youth team.Easy win.And the third round, that is, the quarter-elimination round, went to the "Little Red Army", the home of the Liverpool youth team, Anfield.In the end, with a gap of one goal, the Liverpool youth team once again missed the semi-finals of the FA Youth Cup.

In the end, the Fulham youth team, which was the first to advance to the semi-finals of the FA Youth Cup, was at home, but faced the door-to-door challenge of the Arsenal youth team.As for the other side, it is a continuation of the "red and blue derby". The Manchester United youth team played against the Chelsea youth team at home.

Well, for Victor, the other three teams that appeared in the FA Cup semi-finals are not good.In comparison, Victor is more willing to meet the Chelsea youth team.After all, in the previous youth team league.Because they are going to meet their opponents in the second round of the FA Youth Cup, the Sunderland youth team.So Victor failed to play in the first leg of the youth league game against Chelsea.As a result, the Fulham youth team handed over the victory to the Chelsea youth team in that game.

The more important reason is that the Manchester United youth team has a great reputation.Moreover, last season's FA Youth Cup was won by the Manchester United youth team.As for the Arsenal youth team, since Arsenal moved from Highbury Stadium, which can only accommodate more than 3 fans, to the Emirates Stadium.In order to repay the loan, Patrick Vieira, the captain of the team and the absolute core of the midfielder, was even sent to the Apinney Peninsula.

And what happened later, every reader who is reading this book must know that Arsenal has never won a Premier League championship since then, and the goal every year is to be able to enter the top four in the Premier League to win the UEFA Champions League. qualifications for the competition.After all, the TV broadcast fees, bonuses, and game day income of the Champions League are very considerable income.In addition, there are gradually various "traditions" such as "already the best team," "selling the captain," and so on. I won't talk about the "temperature difference lottery" and "fighting for the four demons" here.

But now, although Arsenal has begun to sell some team cores that can bring huge transfer fees to the team, Arsenal's head coach is also a Frenchman who holds some shares in Arsenal, Arthur Wenger.For the development of the team, he still has his own set of mature theories.One of them is to constantly buy some potential "future stars" at low prices. After careful training, they can finally play for Arsenal's first team (and then sell them as captains).

So, take a look at the Arsenal youth squad.There is a talented Polish goalkeeper, Scizenzeni (CCCni) in the goalkeeper, and there are also a lot of good players in the defense.Especially the position of left-back, it simply makes Manchester United, Chelsea and other English giants envy and hate.France's Armand Laure, and England's Kieran Gibbs.

In terms of midfield and frontcourt, even those clubs with brilliant youth training traditions are even more envious.Frimpong is the main defense, and Brazilian player Denilson Jr. from Sao Paulo is in charge of the series.There was also £500m for Walcott, who Victor and his Fulham youth team had worked so hard to beat at Southampton.

As for other players, for example, Mexico's Carlos Bella, who is highly rated in many football games and believes that he will become a world-class shooter in the future.In addition, the Danish kid Nicholas Bendtner, as well as Alexander Song from Ghana, who can attack and defend well.

These players can be said to make the Fulham youth team feel the most disfigured, that is, these players are not only loaned to other English teams at all levels, but also the teams on loan are marked with starting players.Among them are some teams in the League One, the Championship and even the Premier League.

However, the director of Fulham's youth team, the old Ray, was most relieved by Cesc Fabregas, who Arthur Wenger dug from Barcelona.For the development of this player, Wenger even sent the team's core player, captain Patrick Vieira, to Italy.

However, among the players who can still represent the Arsenal youth team in this season's England Youth FA Cup, the so-called top priority is undoubtedly cultivated by the Arsenal youth team themselves. Like Victor, they have the "next step" Zha" titled "Little Threat," Jack Wilshere.

And the title of "the next Garza", for Victor, is just the Crewe Club, which is still in England's third tier league, and it is estimated that he can only serve as a scout for the Crewe Club.In addition, the head coach of the Fulham youth team, the director of youth training and others think so.Although Victor has performed well in the English Youth League for more than one season, he has even won the FA Youth Cup this year.

But Jack Wilshere, since 2001, joined the Arsenal youth academy at the age of 9.He has always been a well-deserved absolute core player in teams of all ages.And when he was even a little younger than Victor, he joined Arsenal's 18-year-old youth team, and he was only one step away from representing Arsenal's first team in the league and European competitions.

As for the aspect where Jack Wilshere is ahead of Victor, it is that up to now, Jack Wilshere has worn the jersey of the England national team and represented the England national team in world-level competitions.Although it is a youth team.But what about Victor.

What's more, Arsenal Wenger, who had tasted the sweetness from Cesc Fabregas, did not hesitate to be protested by the Barcelona club to UEFA, and even took the risk of going to court.He even dug a midfielder named Francisco Merida into the Arsenal youth training camp.However, this player was forced onto the bench by Jack Wilshere.

Facing the strong Arsenal youth team, the Fulham youth team is undoubtedly the praying mantis that gets in the way.Just when everyone, including the director of the Fulham youth team, Lao Lei also believes that the Fulham youth team can reach the semi-finals of the FA Youth Cup this season, and it has reached the end of the journey.

There is one person who doesn't think so.On the contrary, he is still full of expectations for this game.Especially when he saw the name of Jack Wilshere who was written as "the next Garza" from the major media who started to pay attention to the FA Youth Cup because he entered the semi-finals.It is even more urgent to be able to start this game immediately, and even hope to win this game.

This person is of course our protagonist Victor Lee.Victor now clearly knows that his abilities are no longer weak.It can be said that in terms of personal strength in a single round, it is enough to start the youth team of any Premier League team.But look at your teammates.Look at the Arsenal players.

Victor felt like crying immediately.

So after much deliberation, Victor decided to go to Arsenal's Kearney training base.Pretending to be an Arsenal fan, for this reason, Victor also took out the salary in the apprenticeship contract that he had accumulated because he couldn't spend it at all.Bought an Arsenal jersey and a hat.Go to sneak a peek at Arsenal training.

So, at Arsenal's Kearney training base one day, a sneaky little Arsenal fan appeared wearing an Arsenal jersey, a hat embroidered with the Arsenal team logo, and a pair of jeans .There is no doubt that this is what Victor is pretending to be.

Of course, when Victor did this, no one said anything, he acted alone, and asked Lao Lei for a day off for this.The excuse he used was the arrival of the powerful enemy Arsenal, and he planned to buy himself a new pair of football shoes.As for why not go to the streets to buy when the team announces the holiday.Unhappiness is the best excuse.

Well, let’s talk about Victor who sneaked into Arsenal’s Kearney training base secretly.It's different from ordinary Arsenal fans, especially the younger fans.It is not as good as the training ground of the first team to pursue those famous players, such as Henry and others.Instead, seeing that no one noticed him, he secretly ran to the training ground of Arsenal's youth team.

Of course, it doesn't mean that there are no fans who go to see "Arsenal's Future", that is, the training of the Arsenal youth team.But unlike those parents who look like Arsenal youth team players, those with big arms and round waists look like traditional and loyal England fans.Victor keeps the brim of his hat down so low.Not being caught, it can only be said that this is a miracle.

However, the more Victor watched, the more depressed he felt, because he saw a team that almost the Fulham youth team under his leadership could not compete with.In Victor's view, although compared to the left back of the Southampton youth team in the first round, Gareth Bale, neither Armand Laurel or Kieran Gibbs of the Arsenal youth team can compete with him. on a par.

But what about Arsenal's midfielder, midfielder Frimpong, and Denilson's double midfielder, one is good at attacking and the other is good at defending.Then in the frontcourt, Francisco Merida, who was squeezed to the side by Jack Wilshere, can not only sort out the midfield and control the rhythm, but can even pass the football to the forward to tear the opponent's defense.Among the forwards, Walcott's speed made the opponent's defenders sigh at the ball.Not long ago, the Danish player Nicolas Bendtner, who ended his loan at Arsenal and returned to Arsenal, had to return to the youth team because the competition in the first team was too fierce.That height, that shooting skills, that physical impact.

Victor felt bouts of discouragement.And there is no mention of Jack Wilshere, the future "prince" of the Arsenal team.Just like Victor was in the Fulham youth team, Jack Wilshere was in the Arsenal youth team. When Arsenal's offense reached the opposite half, it was finally handed over to Jack Wilshere, who had a great running range.

And Wilshere also lived up to the title of "the next Gaza" given to him by the media.Dribbling the ball, passing the ball like a scalpel, and occasionally breaking through the defense with a sudden shot.Victor had to keep his eyes fixed on Jack Wilshere, who was the most eye-catching among such outstanding players.Then he couldn't help but muttered to himself:
"What a talented player."
