Chapter 42
Unlike the first team, the players of the first team can finally have a vacation in the summer after a season of training games.Although the holiday is not long, generally for those highly professional players, it is only about three weeks.

But this does not prevent these first-team players, or alone with their girlfriends or wives, and children.Or in twos and threes, whether they are club teammates or national team teammates.Even if they are "enemies" in the club, although they shovel each other in the club's game, they are friends off the court.

Go to the beach with these buddies, or simply rent a cruise ship and enjoy the sun on the sea.

However, youth team players, don't think about having so much vacation time.And for young players who have not stepped into professional football and have not been stained with messy "colors" by this "big dye vat".Therefore, there is not much vacation time in itself.In addition, I still want to fight for the honor of these youth team players.There are also many people who take the initiative to ask for additional training.

Therefore, these players of the Fulham youth team are still on the youth team training ground at Fulham's training base, accompanied by the very short summer in England, but there is still no 25-degree summer.Continuing with the training of the youth team.However, probably the vast majority of them.After the end of the youth contract, he will stay in the reserve team until he retires.Or choose to go to the low-level league to sharpen, and there may be "Bierhoff in England."

And after today's Fulham youth team's training ended, he packed up his sweat-soaked jersey, kicked the football shoes in his hands, and said "see you tomorrow" to his teammates. .Just a few steps out of the training ground.Immediately, from among the few fans who came to watch the Fulham youth team train.Immediately walked out a middle-aged man wearing a shirt, who looked about 40 years old and had begun to develop some "Mediterranean hairstyle".Immediately walked towards Victor.

After walking to Victor's side, he opened his mouth and said:
"Hi Victor, my son is your fan. It's been since the game you led the Fulham youth team to the Arsenal youth team." Then, he took out a card from his shirt pocket, probably I took it privately, and then developed it, the photo of Victor in that game.Then he took out a marker from his pants pocket.Then said:

"Could you please sign it for me?"

"Of course." Since that game against the Arsenal youth team, Victor immediately became the only player in the youth team who had enough popularity in the youth team to be comparable to the first-team players.Fans looking for Victor's autograph, this isn't the first and certainly won't be the last.

However, when Victor was stopped by the "son is a fan of Victor," and then asked Victor for his autograph, Victor's teammates, who also lived in the youth team's dormitory building, walked past Victor one after another. .And after Victor signed his name, he handed the photo and marker pen to the "son is a fan of Victor".

The middle-aged man in a shirt said:
"In addition, I am a scout for the Arsenal club. Our head coach of the Arsenal club, Mr. Wenger would like to invite you to join our club."

After finishing speaking, Victor immediately showed an expression that could only be said to be "stunned".

However, the current Victor has never encountered a similar thing.As for the "cooperative training" he can now call out in his own system, such as Walcott and Gareth Bale.Have already encountered similar things.After the training, scouts from other wealthy clubs approached and invited them to join the wealthy clubs.

So, seeing Victor in front of him froze there, and the middle-aged man in front of him who was actually an Arsenal scout, he took out his phone from his pocket.Then he directly dialed the one that he was afraid to dial, if it wasn't because this matter fell on his own head.It has the number of the note from "Mr. Wenger" written on it.

After a while, the call got through, and then I said a few words.Then he handed the mobile phone to Victor, who had calmed down a little in front of him.At the same time, he opened his mouth and said to Victor: "Mr. Wenger wants to tell you personally."

Although Victor was relieved, he was still a little at a loss when he took the call from the Arsenal club scout in front of him.Putting it to my ear, before I even opened my mouth, I heard a familiar voice, speaking in Spanish, ringing in my ear:

"Hello, Victor. This is Arsenal's head coach, Arthur Wenger."

"Hello, Mr. Wenger." Victor spoke English now, not Portuguese like he did at the Kearney training base last time.Then Victor went on to say:

"I don't know why Mr. Wenger thought of wanting me to join the Arsenal club?"

"Haha, Victor." Arthur Wenger immediately laughed out loud on the phone when he heard that Victor was speaking in English.Then went on to say:

"I want to invite you to join the Arsenal club because I saw your talent in that game. In addition, I also have enough confidence. First, you will choose to join our Arsenal club. Ernie Base and Emirates Stadium, play every bit of your talent."

"Mr. Wenger, are you so confident that I will accept your invitation?" Victor immediately asked back.

"Yes, I think you will definitely join our Arsenal club." Arthur Wenger answered Victor's words very positively, and then gave an explanation that Victor could not refuse,
"Because after that game, you were the only player in the Fulham team who did not shed tears. From your eyes, what I saw was not chagrin, but a sense of loneliness and loneliness. Therefore, I invite You join Arsenal because you have teammates who can fully cooperate with you. Victor, you should give full play to your talents in a club like Arsenal."

Otherwise, how can we say that Arthur Wenger is a "professor", this sentence really speaks to Victor's heart.Yes, after the FA Youth Cup semi-final against the Arsenal youth team, Victor did feel a sense of powerlessness.And this feeling is not because he is upset that he is not capable of defeating the opponent in front of him.Instead, I feel that there is no teammate around me who can work with me and still be able to do a job with ease in such an intense game.

So Victor didn't hesitate at all, and immediately said on the phone: "Thank you very much, Mr. Wenger, for your appreciation of me, and I am also very willing to join Arsenal. However, I hope that you can have an official meeting with Fulham next. Talks. Although I only signed an apprenticeship with Fulham."

"Okay Victor, I will ask the transfer department to issue a transfer application to the Fulham club. In addition, after you come to Arsenal, you will first train in the youth team. Because you are not yet good enough for the first team. But from time to time I will let you train with the first team and play against each other."

"No problem, Mr. Wenger. I am very grateful for your call, and I am looking forward to the day when I join the Arsenal Club." After Victor finished speaking, he immediately took the phone from his ear.Then handed it to the scout of the Arsenal club in front of him.Then he said to the scout:
"Sir, you can put your phone away, and Mr. Wenger has also hung up the phone."

Now, it was the turn of the Arsenal club scout in front of Victor to recover from his dazed state.After all, every sentence of the phone conversation between Victor and his immediate boss's boss, Arthur Wenger, fell into his ears.And the "negotiations" with Arthur Wenger came to an end so soon.

However, the scout of the Arsenal club, who was also considered to have "experienced the wind and rain", also received the mobile phone handed by Victor in his trousers pocket while answering.Then, I heard Victor's words:

"Thank you for your call, sir. I look forward to seeing you at the Arsenal Club, sir." After speaking, Victor then walked towards the club's youth training accommodation building.

And in another place in London, Arsenal's Kearney training base.Arthur Wenger after talking on the phone with Victor.Reluctantly, he hung up the phone.Then, with a wry smile on his face, he turned to the manager of the transfer department of the Arsenal club who was showing a nervous look in front of him.Some helplessly said:

"Send a transfer request to Fulham Club, Victor Lee, £500 million."

"Mr. Wenger..." After hearing what Arthur Wenger said, the director of the transfer department of the Arsenal Club immediately asked in confusion:

"Did Victor and Fulham really sign a contract to turn professional?"

"No," Arthur Wenger immediately shook his head in denial, but continued, "But don't forget the scout report says Victor is a very professional player..."

"Okay, Mr. Wenger." Although Arthur Wenger didn't finish his sentence, the head of the Arsenal club's transfer department already knew what he said.Immediately, he walked out of Arthur Wenger's office and walked towards the transfer department.And Arthur Wenger followed quickly.

A transfer notice of £500 million was quickly sent to Fulham's transfer department.And the Fulham club that received the notice from the transfer department, and the head of the transfer department of the Fulham club that received the transfer notice, first saw a notice about a player from the youth team, and then saw price.Immediately tell the chairman of the Fulham club directly.But he forgot to tell Fulham's head coach, as well as the director of youth training, Lao Lei.

And the owner of the Fulham club who received the information, how could he remember who "Victor Lee" was on the transfer notice.After all, he is not a first-team star.Therefore, he immediately said to the director of the transfer department standing beside him:
"Up to 800 million pounds, if the Arsenal club agrees, let them discuss the contract with this player."

……

"Mr. Wenger, they only want to sell it to us for £800 million."

"Tell them yes and now I'm going to Fulham."
