Chapter 266 A Meaningful Christmas

The most depressing period in the Premier League is around Christmas, and countless players hate this schedule in their hearts.

The reason is simple. When others can sit in front of a warm fireplace with their families at Christmas, having a reunion dinner and singing Merry Christmas, this lot of hard-working players in the Premier League have to play in the ice and snow.

There is also a holiday for Christmas, but for those players who are not from England, it is really a luxury to go home.

For example, according to Arsenal's situation, they will play Portsmouth on the afternoon of the 27th, and the team will gather at Kearney in the morning. I would like to ask, except for those nearby players, if they go home for Christmas, who can make it in time?
Therefore, a large number of players chose not to go home, or took their families to Arsenal for Christmas.

But there are also some players who rent houses, their families are all in their hometowns, and they are alone in Arsenal, deserted, and they always feel so out of place with this city full of festive atmosphere.

Bell is such a player. He even plans to come to Kearney to train himself on Christmas, so as to pass the time and let himself forget that Christmas is here.

But what he didn't expect was that there were still people in Kearney.

Sitting in Li Yuxin's car, feeling the warmth of the heater, he was thinking, why is the boss in Kearney?Where is he going to take himself to eat now?
Li Yuxin ignored him and made a call on his cell phone.

"Hey, Cesc, yes, I, Li!" He called Cesc Fabregas, "I'm booking a room at the restaurant, do you want to come? Yes, you can bring your family, it's a dinner party, yes, okay, you can inform other teammates to see if anyone else comes."

After hanging up the phone, Li Yuxin called his family and his agent Mendez separately, telling them to come to the restaurant for dinner and prepare to spend this Christmas together.

After finishing all the phone calls that should be made, Li Yuxin concentrated on driving.

But not long after, he turned his head again, "Gareth, aren't your parents free to come and spend Christmas with you?"

Bell shook his head, "They don't like to leave their hometown."

"Same as my parents!" Vieira laughed.

Seeing Li Yuxin's questioning eyes, Vieira didn't mind, "My father's hometown is in China, which is also a rural area, but he loves his hometown!"

"Me too!" Li Yuxin murmured.

"I have never felt that football has anything to do with birth, and I don't think those with good backgrounds have anything to show off. I always believe that people must strive for self-improvement so that they will not be looked down upon by others!"

Li Yuxin nodded, he also felt the same way, so he has been working hard.

Li Yuxin's blue Ferrari was very conspicuous on the street, always attracting the attention of passers-by. It didn't take long for him to arrive at the restaurant on Dale Street. After getting out of the car, he opened the door and went in.

As soon as Bell saw the signboard of this store, he immediately realized the relationship with Li Yuxin. This store often appeared in newspapers, and it was said that it had a very close relationship with Li Yuxin.

However, when he also pushed the door and went in, he was dumbfounded when he heard a lively commotion inside.

...Oh my god, all he saw were dazzling stars and their families.

Arsenal legends and Wenger and some other stars

Not long after, Henry, Pires, and several Arsenal players who hadn't gone home also arrived at the restaurant. The atmosphere in the Italian restaurant became very lively, and everyone took the opportunity to get acquainted with each other. Walcott, who happened to have not returned home, was also invited by Li Yuxin.

A group of people got together and spent the whole afternoon eating, drinking, chatting, etc., making the restaurant a mess, but the boss was very happy to see it on the sidelines.

He hadn't seen so many people together for a long time.

……………… After drinking and eating, the players chatted in twos and threes.

Li Yuxin arranged for Shuo Shuo to rest, and sat there alone

………………… “Can I sit down?”

Li Yuxin raised his head, was surprised to see that it was Nedved, and nodded immediately.

The Czech sat down opposite him, looked at the young rookie, and smiled after a while, "You are the darling of fate!"

Li Yuxin was taken aback for a moment, not understanding what this meant.

"Youth, talent, famous teacher, wealthy family... You have almost all the conditions for becoming famous and talented, so I say, you are the darling of fate!" Nedved explained.

Li Yu didn't quite agree with it in confidence, but he didn't say anything.

"During my first season when I joined the Sparta Prague first team, the then head coach Dobias pointed at me in front of everyone, shook his head and said, this kid has no future, and it would be good if he could play professional games. If he is lucky, he can play a dozen substitutes in Sparta."

"Ah?!" Li Yuxin was a little surprised.

Nedved laughed, "Yes, but you know, I don't hate him, I even thank him, because it's what he said that always inspires me and reminds me that I have never been a talented player. There are more talented players than me. If I want to compete with them, I have to work harder and train harder than them."

Li Yuxin nodded, he could understand Nedved's mood because he was the same.

"Because I don't have outstanding talent, I worked hard to improve myself, to integrate myself into the team, to fight side by side with my teammates, and then I made rapid progress. I saw with my own eyes that the teammates who were talented countless times better than me left professional football one after another. I asked myself in my heart, why?"

Li Yuxin was also asking himself in his heart at this moment, why?
Because he himself knows that he is a very talented young man, so he can't help but also worry that he has become one of those talented players in Nedved's words, but failed to succeed in the end.

"Gradually, I understood a truth, that is, no matter how talented a person is, no matter how talented he is, if he doesn't have a humble and simple personality, and if he doesn't integrate into the teams around him, he will always be just a passing passerby in the eyes of others."

After a pause, Nedved laughed at himself and asked, "Do you know what profession I define myself as?"

Li Yuxin shook his head.

"Worker!" Nedved laughed. "I regard playing football as an ordinary job. I'm not a star or a core player. I'm just an ordinary worker. I don't have a dazzling aura. I do a simple job. I try my best to train every day, I go all out in every game, and I am eager to win all the time. That's it!"

Li Yuxin listened to the European footballer telling the secrets in his heart. He was really shocked, because he never thought that there would be such a scene behind the top superstar.

Having said that, Nedved looked into the distance, and Vieira was talking to Henry.

The Czech smiled slightly, "Mr. Wenger is a very special head coach. His vision is very sharp. He can see through everything in you. He is also a very respectable head coach. You are very lucky, Li. You met him at the age of 18, so you are luckier than any of us!"

Li Yuxin lowered his head slightly, he didn't know what to say.

When he went to participate in the National Youth Team competition, countless players were envious of his fortune and laughed at his pointless persistence, because everyone knew very well that it was a dream for countless people to be trained by Vieira, but what was he still stubborn about?
He remembered what Vieira had said to him, and he also knew that football is a team sport, and it is impossible for one person to achieve good results.

At the age of 18, he is indeed very rebellious, but during the period of being sidelined by Vieira, he has more or less experienced it, especially watching his teammates on the field trying their best to play, but he can only sit on the bench.

Putting on the Arsenal jersey, he is a member of the Arsenal team, and everything about Arsenal becomes closely related to him.

"Think about it carefully. Although the boss didn't say anything, I can see that he is very optimistic about you. Otherwise, he wouldn't have resisted so much pressure for you. This is a treatment that none of our players have ever enjoyed before." Nedved was very envious, and even smiled with a little jealousy.

"But everything still depends on yourself. Whether you want to be a dazzling star, the best player, or those who have a lot of talent, but quickly fall away and become a passer-by in the eyes of others, it depends on your own choice!"

"But remember, don't do things that make you regret!"

After finishing speaking, Nedved smiled, got up and left.

Li Yuxin sat alone on his seat, staring out the window, countless pedestrians hurried past the restaurant.

who are they?Where are you going?What are you doing?
I don't know at all!

This is the passer-by that Nedved said!

Li Yuxin suddenly had a thought in his heart, he didn't want to be such a passer-by, he hoped that everyone would know him, remember his name, remember him as a person!
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt an impulse, stood up from his seat, and slowly walked towards Wenger!

And Nedved also communicated with Bell next. For the old Czechs, is it okay to teach the little guys?And what's more, the young people I admire, eh, my time is coming to an end,
And here Li Yuxin and Bale came to Wenger's side, Li Yuxin knew that Arsenal needed Wenger's leadership
Everyone has almost forgotten the demeanor of Wenger back then.

When Wenger first came to the Premier League, Manchester United was the dominant player in the Premier League.However, with the outstanding performance of Wenger's Arsenal, the Premier League has entered the era of rivalry between Manchester United and Arsenal.

It was also the era when Wenger and Ferguson fought each other.

This time has been six years, until Abramovich entered Chelsea.

Wenger was not what he is now.At that time, Wenger and Ferguson came and went with each other, and they were very sharp-tongued.Playing psychological warfare, Wenger did not lose to Ferguson.Even Wenger is still the one who provokes psychological warfare in many cases.

It's just that Arsenal's strength continued to decline later.Let Wenger slowly withdraw from such ranks.Later it became the stage for Ferguson and Mourinho.

But now it is almost impossible to see Wenger like this.

Not only Arsenal players need the championship to motivate themselves, Arsenal fans need the consolation of the championship, even Wenger also needs the championship now.Some victories were needed, too, to awaken his ambition.

But after all, Jin Ming couldn't say that in person.

Same goes for Wenger and Ferguson.In the club is almost one-sided.Regardless of Jin Ming's high status in Arsenal, if there is a conflict with Wenger face to face, or something, Wenger can tell Jin Ming to leave immediately.

And if Arsenal want the championship, they also need Wenger's leadership.
