My light shines on Arsenal

Chapter 57 We Fall into Dust ([-])

Arsenal unexpectedly announced two signings in the winter window of the season, and they were two forwards.

The No.1 player is Arsenal’s legendary striker, Thierry Henry.

Wenger persuaded his former lover to return to England to play for Arsenal for a while.

This season, Arsenal's usage rate of Van Persie is extremely high, and the backup striker Chamark has no state, which proves that he is useless.

Arsenal desperately needed a substitute striker to save the field, so Henry returned.

The No.2 player is also a striker.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, a 23-year-old striker from AC Milan, has a mediocre resume.

The only commendable thing is that Aubameyang only spent 200 million euros on Arsenal's transfer fee.

Originally, Saint-Etienne was also interested in Aubameyang. After Arsenal made an offer, Saint-Etienne angrily joined the bidding.

However, both teams were short of money. After a long day of procrastination, Arsenal negotiator Dick Law sadly offered a high price of 200 million yuan, and Saint-Etienne reluctantly gave up.

The reserve price for their bid was 150 million euros.

After spending so long, only raised the price by 50 euros, Galliani was dumbfounded.

When signing the contract with Dick Law, Galliani asked angrily: "Mr. Law, are you acting a comedy?"

Dick Law said: "Mr. Galliani, you have to get used to this kind of life. Small balls will live like small balls. Maybe one day you will have to sign free agents all over the world."

"Are you kidding?" Galliani smirked. "You mean, I'm like a grocery shopping consumer, riding a bicycle and picking up bargains?"

"Who knows." The personable Dick Law finished signing and closed his pen cap, "The specific paperwork can be done by our contract team. Well, Mr. Galliani, it's a pleasure to do business with you. "

"I'm glad too, Mr. Law."

……

"Hey, Thierry."

Kearney base, training ground.

Chen Yao and Henry shook hands tightly, and Wenger put his arms around their shoulders, smiling broadly.

"Wuhu, smart boy, it seems that Arsene admires you very much." Henry laughed.

"Thierry, do you know why the boss doesn't appreciate you so much?" Chen Yao asked.

"Oh why?"

"If you go back in time and are ten years younger, the boss will be crazy about you. It's a pity that you are too old Thierry."

"Look at what you're talking about." Henry blew his beard and stared, "Smart boy, I want to show you what it means to never grow old."

"Speaking of this, Thierry, I am very grateful that you are willing to come back. I wonder if you can do me a favor?" Chen Yao put away his joking expression and said seriously.

"Just say it."

"I want you to take this kid with you in training."

Chen Yao waved not far away and shouted: "Pierre!"

"coming!"

Aubameyang ran over in three or two steps.

"This is Thierry. He will stay with us for the next two months. Pierre, learn from him." Chen Yao said.

"Farke, Thierry Henry?!" Aubameyang exclaimed, "I knew I was in the right place!"

"Just an old man." Henry said modestly.

"Come on, old man, come and teach me a few tricks." Aubamey raised his head, "Let's go to shooting practice?"

Henry turned his head to look at Chen Yao and Wenger: "You two, it seems that you bought a brat who knows nothing about his heights and his depths."

After Henry and Aubameyang walked away, Wenger said: "A good seedling, but it needs to be cultivated. Then again, how did you find him?"

"Me?" Chen Yao thought for a moment, "I like to watch videos when I have nothing to do. I discovered his potential."

"You're looking right," Wenger said. "He didn't have a stable upbringing when he was 18-22 years old, he didn't have a serious tactical education. It made him distracted, distracted and lacked self-discipline. "

"That's right, boss."

"But... he has a good sense of space. His movement is almost instinctive, but he can always run right and left. And he has a good shot," Wenger said. "If he has this season With consistent playing time, this season could be his breakout year."

Chen Yao nodded, expressing his appreciation for Wenger's opinion.

"He is a piece of jade in the rough, not very young, but still a talent." Wenger suddenly sighed, "I have been here for many years, and I have seen many outstanding young people. I have been looking for , those who have the insight to discover them..."

"Then have you found it?"

"Of course, Raleigh, Cagigao, they're all good scouts. But they know how to find players, they don't know how to develop players. And I, I feel guilty for a lot of players, I don't think I let them become the best version of yourself."

"No, boss, in my opinion, your deeds are outstanding..."

"It doesn't matter." Wenger smiled. "I am relieved that I have found someone with a clear vision and a clear tactical mind who can make these players feel like a fish in water. But I still want to tell you something talk."

"Please speak."

"Not every piece of jade can be turned into a good one. The world of football is a dynamic world. Your beloved player may suddenly fall because he ate a mouthful of expired chocolate sauce in the morning, or because he was seriously injured by the stadium butcher. .But, Chen, don't give up on them easily."

Wenger patted Chen Yao on the shoulder, "I told you that a coach needs to understand responsibility. And you have to be responsible not only to the team, but also to every player. They will be confused and sink. Sometimes, you need to take responsibility, guide them, and help them become the best version of themselves. Instead of treating them as consumables, once they don’t meet your expectations, just throw them away.”

Chen Yao nodded.

"Go and take them to train." Wenger waved his hand. "This is not only my hope for you, but also the culture I hope to leave to Arsenal."

Wenger turned around and looked at the rare good weather in North London. Under the warm winter sun, Chen Yao and the players he usually led gathered together.

Aubameyang admired Henry's footwork in stunned silence.

Two good friends, Jorginho and Verratti, talked about this and that around Chen Yao.

Zaha pointed at Carvajal. Although Carvajal was still so unsociable, he was able to seriously discuss game cooperation with Zaha.

Chamberlain was joking with Ramsey and Gibbs.

There is also Arteta, who will walk over from time to time to help Chen Yao give pointers to young players.

Wenger smiled. This is Arsenal, something he loves and something that carries his hopes.

Whether it spreads its wings and flies high in the clouds, or sinks into the earth, this is his true love.

I will also take responsibility.Wenger thought.
