Chapter 137 Gold Rush Trip

Most of Arsenal's main players came with the team, with one exception - Daniel Bergkamp.

Well, even the time-traveled Shao Bo didn't solve this mental illness.Bergkamp's fear of flying has been a problem that has plagued mankind for many years.

Not to mention him, a considerable number of domestic celebrities also suffer from this mental illness.

In the absence of a series of high-tech auxiliary methods such as virtual reality and [-]D glasses, this kind of mental illness is indeed difficult to treat.

And because of the World Cup, Bergkamp actually rested for more than half a month.No amount of rest will cure this mental illness, though.There is no need at all, so I can only give up treatment.

There is no way, this is already a journey of transoceanic level.In view of Bergkamp coming by boat, when he arrives, Arsenal's trip to China will be over long ago.

Therefore, he is the only one in the whole team who enjoys the privilege of not having to participate in the China tour.However, he will still be in London for pre-match training with the club's coaches.

Of course, for most fans, it is extremely rare to be able to meet any Arsenal player.They waited at the airport, holding up signs admiring the players.

Some people only know about Arsenal players during the World Cup, or they are fans of their country's national team.

So the orange Dutch jersey, the white England jersey or the French blue jersey can be seen in the bustling airport.Although the Arsenal jerseys with red shirts and white sleeves account for the most of them.

Fans and these people, if they are scattered, their strength is not enough. Once they are gathered together or organized, they will be extremely impressive.

At the same time, in order to facilitate contact and influence with them, Shao Bo took the lead in establishing an Arsenal fan organization through the four major domestic stores.

It is also convenient for everyone to gather together to understand all kinds of information and to have close contact with players.

However, long before Shao Bo thought of this, domestic Arsenal fans had formed several groups.They do not have a clear distinction between the British fan organizations, and some fans who are divided into the two organizations are still acquaintances and friends.

At this time, the domestic fan organizations are not as clear as the British side, which has formed a clear division according to characteristics such as class and region. Everyone mixes together just to find like-minded friends.

David Dein should be regarded as the highest-level personnel who came with the team.Shao Bo didn't wait for them at the airport, the hotel where they stayed at Arsenal was preparing for a press conference.Since everyone was going to meet there, Shao Bo saved a trip to the airport.

While eating dessert, Shao Bo looked through, bored and waiting for the players to arrive.

And Sun Jihai, who also returned to China early, is being interviewed by the media. He has not yet learned how to refuse or avoid the media.

BJ and London are on opposite ends of the globe, and the players are bound to be jet-lagged when they arrive, except for a press conference in the afternoon.Their task today is to rest well.

And there will not be many people attending the press conference. Except for Shao Bo, Sun Jihai, and David Dane who will definitely attend, it doesn't matter who the other Arsenal players send here.

However, the old captain Adams has already been elected, and the rest of the team just waited to enter the hotel to take a good rest.

It didn't take Shao Bo to wait too long, and the group arrived at the hotel in a bus specially modified into Arsenal style.

The summer in BJ is still relatively hot. Fortunately, not only is there no smog, but even the usual sandstorms have stopped.

BJ's clear sky is fine, and the players have never experienced the ravages of sandstorms, so naturally they don't understand Shao Bo's emotion at this time.

At the press conference that afternoon, Shao Bo and Sun Jihai were in good condition except for Adams and David Dane who were slightly tired due to the intercontinental flight.

Just kidding, how long have you two been back to China?
Not to mention Shao Bo who played in France for a month, Sun Jihai alone returned to China directly after the end of the season.Although the World Cup in France is attractive, he can also watch it on TV.

Sun Jihai, who has not been home for nearly half a year, still misses his hometown very much.

The fans in Dalian are very happy. Although Arsenal has no plan to choose Dalian for commercial competitions, Sun Jihai's early return to China also gave them the opportunity to meet their idols up close in advance.

As Sun Jihai's home team, the Dalian team also invited him back to attend some business activities.And there are even more interviews from other TV stations.So now Sun Jihai has more or less adapted to the appearance of many reporters looking around and talking freely by himself.

The main targets of many reporters were Shao Bo and Sun Jihai. Although David Dane and Adams were not in good condition, others didn't care.

After an afternoon of rest, the players also recovered.Except for a few old players who visited with the team in 95, most people don't know much about this mysterious country.

A feeling similar to Yelang's arrogance makes many foreigners think that the current Chinese people wear pigtails or wear the clothes of the Red Guard era.

After coming to BJ, which is changing with each passing day, they realize that China is also so developed, no worse than Europe.

Three to five groups, each team is accompanied by staff and translators, giving them a few hours of free time.When it's bedtime, everyone has to go back to the team.On the second day, they still have this public training and fan meeting, so they can't attend with a sleepy face.

All kinds of Chinese delicacies naturally attract these players who are used to eating dark dishes such as boiled chicken in clear water and looking up at the starry sky.Although eating these things all the time will have a certain impact on the players' bodies, such as high fat rate, osteoporosis and so on.

But this is only relative to professional athletes, and it is not a problem to eat it occasionally.It is also impossible for Shao Bo to strictly manage the players' diet during this period. After all, what the players need during this period is relaxation, not strictness.

There was nothing to say all night, and Arsenal was conducting low-intensity recovery training on the training ground in the morning.After all, the World Cup holiday has just ended, and the players' status has not recovered.

Surrounding the training ground, hundreds of fans entered the training ground with tickets, and the ticket money alone was another considerable income.Of course, it doesn’t say that taking pictures and videotaping is not allowed here, but it is only limited to professional media, and ordinary fans can only watch the team’s training from the sidelines.

In the afternoon, a huge hotel conference hall was vacated.It was converted into Arsenal's signing meeting and fan meeting in a very short period of time by the hard-working staff.

Looking at the eagerly looking forward to the fans, Shao Bo couldn't help feeling, was he also like this back then?It's just that the innocent thoughts have long since disappeared. On the contrary, for the development and expansion of the club, they have begun to find ways to get money from the fans' pockets.

However, Shao Bo will not forget to let Arsenal players understand and know something about Chinese culture.

These are all competitions for national soft power, although in terms of football, Britain has certain advantages.But Shao Bo hopes to be able to understand and fall in love with traditional Chinese culture through the personal experience of these players.

Calligraphy, drama... While watching these, the players put on Hanfu with great interest.However, due to China's long history and numerous dynasties, each person has a different style, and Shao Bo also found it very interesting.

Shao Bo, who became interested, wanted to write two strokes, but he knew that his handwriting could only be regarded as mediocre, so he didn't show his ugliness on the spot after all.

After another day of rest, those interested teamed up with Shao Bo to the National Museum of History, the Forbidden City and other places.Others play casually when accompanied by someone. Anyway, as long as there is no accident, the staff will only use it as an interpreter.

A few years ago, Arsenal once lost a game at the Workers' Stadium.Today, it is also a friendly match, the same opponent, and Arsenal, who also have commercial purposes, also did not use their full strength.

As a result, the two sides tied 3:3.After the end of the first half, Shao Bo sent a group of teenagers onto the court.Except for Sun Jihai who played the whole game alone, even the substitute goalkeeper got a chance to play.

Anyway, it's a friendly business competition, and no one has specified specific requirements for the number of substitutes, so I'm happy with Shao Bo.Since young teenagers usually don't have the chance to play, why not give them more confidence now?
Unlike the tired old players who were tortured by long-distance travel, these young players are always ready to show their brightest side to Shao Bo.

More importantly, Shao Bo clearly knows the height that each of these players can eventually grow.This group of people will basically be the main force and pillars of Arsenal in the future, and they are worthy of Shao Bo's efforts to cultivate them.

The fact is that the old players are obviously not as good as the young juniors in this game.In the first half, they were beaten 2:0 by the opponent and were at a disadvantage.In the second half, after replacing several young players one after another, the three-goal efficient counterattack also dispelled the fans' dissatisfaction with Shao Bo's large number of substitutions.

Overall, the second half was an exciting game.The young players are still working very hard in order to improve their sense of presence.

Although he entered the squad of the French team, Anelka, the World Cup winner who missed a goal, still won the hearts of the Chinese fans with two goals.

Another goal came from Overmars' swift counter-attack, and the crowd cheered him on when he scored, even though some were wearing opponents' shirts.

The Dutch team has gone a long way in the World Cup this summer, and Overmars' strength has also been affirmed by everyone.This kind of superstar's goal is definitely more popular than an unfamiliar teenager.

They stayed here for almost a week, and after calculating the itinerary, they needed to go south to the magic capital.
