Chapter 49

The 2008-2009 season is still here. In the last training session of the Arsenal youth team last season, that is, the 2007-2008 season, Arsenal's head coach Arthur Wenger came to the youth team's training ground in person.Then in the staring eyes of Victor and others.He spoke out his decision.

Victor, Walcott, Merida, Denilson and others, including Wilshere, were all promoted to the first team.However, Victor is also very clear in his heart. Although Arsenal's first team needs to repay the debt to build the stadium, the first team is now "short of major generals," but for Victor, there are still not many opportunities to play.

Although the frontcourt of the Arsenal club is still considered "full of talents," like Merida, Cesc Fabregas, who was brought from the La Masia youth training camp in Barcelona to the Kearney training base by Arthur Wenger himself , In addition, there are Czech star Rosicky and others who spent a lot of money to introduce.

Therefore, for Victor, the most is to represent Arsenal's first team to play in domestic cups. As for the league and European competitions, it is estimated that he has to be a substitute among the substitutes.

Of course, this is not the case for Victor alone, including Jack Wilshere, who was "accused" by the head coach of the youth team, but Arthur Wenger still chose to trust him unconditionally, and was still promoted to the first team.is also like this.

Who said that the position of these two people is in the offensive line of the frontcourt? If they are like Denilson, although they are also midfielders, they can play as a midfielder.

Then, Victor had no choice but to congratulate Denilson, who was selected for the first Premier League squad for the 2008-2009 season.But Wilshere, such a proud guy, is now in the first team, even if he has to tuck his tail first.But how could he offer his blessings to his teammates from the bottom of his heart like Victor.

Therefore, Victor and Wilshere, who were not selected for the big list, and of course people such as Merida, first had to play in the reserve league in the middle of the week, and then waited until the Sunday afternoon of the league game and had to sit in the stands Watch the game on.

This game is not just for watching, not to mention Merida, Victor's friend, or Victor and Wilshere.Every time in the middle of the week, I have to participate in the reserve team game.

But this does not mean that Arthur Wenger doesn't care about these two people. After each reserve team game, Arthur Wenger will call his assistant coach, who is also the head coach of the reserve team, Patrice into his team. office, and then carefully inquired about the status of the two playing in the reserve team.At the same time, scouts were sent to the reserve team's arena to watch the game between the two, and at the same time record the game between the two.

However, after a few games, after two or three months, the heating has been penetrated, so only one shirt is enough for Arthur Wenger.Sitting behind his desk, pinching scouts handed in the last reserve team game, Victor and Wilshere, and a few others that Arthur Wenger specifically asked for attention, promoted from the youth team Reports from those players.

At the same time, on the opposite side of the desk, Patrice was also sitting on an office chair.However, it was different from Arthur Wenger who frowned, held the scout report in his hand, and observed repeatedly.Although Patrice was expressionless, he held a mug that was always steaming in his hand.Not sure if it was tea or coffee.

"Pat, is it really as you said?"

Arthur Wenger finally decided not to read the report sent by the scout, although it was not thick, but there were several pages.Instead, he gently placed the report in front of him, put his hands on the desk, crossed his fingers, and rested his chin on them.Looking at Patrice in front of him, he asked.

"Yes," Patrice nodded, and poured the mug in his hand into his own mouth, whether it was tea or coffee.Facing Arthur Wenger in front of him, he continued:
"It's like this. Victor and Wilshere didn't have any linkage in the game."

"Well, I know that." Arthur Wenger nodded.Then he went on to say:

"But these reports from the scouts," Arthur Wenger lowered his head, searched in the drawer of the desk for a while, and took out a stack, which was gently placed by Arthur Wenger just now The report on the desktop is exactly the same report.Then went on to say:
"The scout's report is more detailed. I think you should be able to observe it during the game..."

"Arthur, what do you mean," Patrice thought for a while after hearing Arthur Wenger's words.Then he asked tentatively:

"Did you say that the two are different? It is true. Victor and Wilshere are different. Wilshere will not pass the football to his teammates until his teammates run out of a decisive position. And Victor drives the team's overall offense. Besides, Victor also passed the football to Wilshere at the beginning. But..."

After Patrice said this, he couldn't help but look up at Arsenal's head coach Arthur Wenger in front of him.After receiving Arthur Wenger's "continue to speak" instruction.

Patrice let out a breath, and then continued: "But in the first few games, when Victor ran out a chance that could be said to be scored with a slight touch, Wilsh Instead of passing the ball, Wilshere shot. But in turn, Victor passed the ball to Wilshere."

"I see, I see." Arthur Wenger nodded a few times after Patrice finished speaking.Then he couldn't help but sighed, and then slowly took off the glasses he was wearing.Then put away the glasses.He raised his head and faced Patrice, who was still sitting on the office chair in front of him, still holding a mug in his hand.Then he said to Patrice in a low voice:

"Pat, thank you for your opinion. But..." Arthur Wenger seemed to have something to say, but now he didn't know whether he couldn't say it or didn't know where to start.

"Arthur, it's okay, just talk. Anyway, this is your office, and this is Kearney." Patrice turned the mug in his hand in a circle.Then he also made his greatest determination, stood firm, and said to Arthur Wenger.

"Alas," Wenger looked at, together with himself, brought the Arsenal club out of the "violent football" of the Graham era, and then led a group of talented players such as Henry, Ljungberg, and Vieira , has an extremely brilliant unbeaten record of 49 games, and also set a "monument" of winning the championship unbeaten throughout the season.

But now, the dilemma facing the Arsenal club.The wrinkles on Wenger's head deepened, the gray hair increased, and the sighs far outnumbered the laughter.

But in front of his old friend, Arthur Wenger did not hide anything, and finally said:
"It's not that I don't want to train Victor to be the absolute main force of our Arsenal club, or the next Patrick or the next Thierry. But, do you remember Stephen's original report on Victor?"

"Arthur," Patrice's expression changed quickly after hearing Wenger's words.Then Fang Buddha couldn't believe it, and said:
"Arthur, do you really believe the comment in Stephen's report? Although Victor didn't step up from the youth academy of our Arsenal club like Wilshere did. But Patrick and Thierry , No, it’s not...”

Patrice suddenly closed his mouth, because whether it was "Patrick" or "Thierry," the names represented both Vieira and Henry.They all left the Arsenal club in the end. One reason was because of the unpleasant salary, while the other felt that there was no way for the Arsenal club to win the highest honor representing the club, the UEFA Champions League.

"Yes," said Wenger, of course he knew the reason why his old friend shut up.Then he continued Patrice's words: "But Wilshere was promoted step by step in our club's youth training camp, so this situation will not happen to him. And Victor, if he waits until a few years later, even if he accepts The first contract we offered him. But what about the second contract? What about the third contract?"

Patrice also had nothing to say.I could only nod to Arthur Wenger, and then muttered in my mouth: "Well, Arthur, I really hope you are right."

"I hope so." Of course, Arthur Wenger couldn't be sure whether what he said would really happen.So I can only have a feeling of uncertainty, even if I pray to God.

However, the words of Arthur Wenger and Patrice will of course not be promoted to the first team to participate in training, but they will represent the reserve team to participate in the game.Still living in those dormitory buildings of the youth team.However, it seems that the former Arsenal youth team players staying inside have all been promoted to the first team now.

As for today's training, although the head coach of the first team, Arthur Wenger, and the assistant coach, Patrice, were not on the training ground.But there are still other managers in the Arsenal first team.Therefore, training continues as usual.

After the training, these former youth team players who were promoted to the first team, after taking a shower, automatically formed different "squads," and walked back to their dormitory building together.And this is, Victor walked out of his "team", and then yelled at Wilshere, who had only Matthew S Conley by his side:
"Jack."

"What did you call me for?" Wilshere heard someone calling him, and turned around to see Victor, whom he hated the most.So he asked angrily.

"I think you can pass the ball to me during the game. Football is not a one-person sport. We need to pass the ball to each other." Victor was very sincere and disdainful to Will Hill said.

"I can pass it on to whoever I like." Wilshere replied very disdainfully after hearing Victor's "request".

"Even if you don't pass the ball to me, don't delay the time. Sometimes you should pass the ball when you see an opportunity..." Victor still wanted to serve the team as a whole, so he persuaded.

"Come on." Wilshere didn't listen to Victor's words at all, and first made a movement of pulling the corner of his eyes at Victor.Then he turned around and walked away.
