Godfather of national football

Chapter 425 Traveling Poorly in London
At Heathrow Airport, a tall Chinese young man was looking around. Finally, in the crowd, he saw a cool middle-aged man wearing big sunglasses walking from far to near. The young man rushed forward and gave him a hug.

"Head, I finally see you in real life."

"what does it mean?"

Li Heng was embarrassed, he was too excited, and then took the suitcase in Li Guo's hand, "Go, head, I'll take you to dinner."

Li Heng drove away from Heathrow Airport, Li Heng looked a little dull along the way, suddenly he asked: "Boss, do you like Chinese food or Western food?"

"Let's go to your house, can you cook?"

"I can make simple things, like pasta."

"That's fine. I heard that you have to make an appointment for dinner in London. I'm afraid of trouble. I'm so tired today."

Li Heng forgot about this point. As an international metropolis, London is easy to eat, but if you want to eat something good, you have to wait.

"Okay, then go to my house."

Arriving at Li Heng's house, Li Guo looked left and right, the apartment was considered a mid-level apartment in London, not bad for a bachelor.

"Did you rent this yourself?"

"No, the club rented it for me. British clubs do a good job of this. You don't need to worry about things other than playing football."

"That's not bad."

Soon Li Heng prepared two dinners, tomato pasta, and a bottle of cold beer, "Head, it's time to eat."

While eating, Li Guo said: "The taste is really good. I often eat pasta, and I have eaten it from all over the world. To be honest, your cooking is really good."

Li Heng laughed, "Young little one left home, if he didn't know how to take care of himself, he would have starved to death."

"By the way, how old were you when you left China for Europe?"

"At 13, first in Holland, then at Arsenal."

"Are you alone all the time?"

"Of course, parents have their own affairs to be busy at home."

"It's been 7 years, it's not easy, will you be unwilling to go back now?"

Speaking of this, Li Heng's smile disappeared, he put down the fork, and couldn't eat any more, Li Guo told his heart disease.

"If it's a labor certification issue, I think it's easy to handle." The implication is that the national team can call Li Heng.

"No, probably not."

So Li Heng told Li Guo the whole conversation with Wenger, and Li Guo asked after hearing it: "Are you overthinking? Maybe Wenger is telling the truth, and I also think 20 years old is indeed very young for a central defender."

"No, these giant clubs don't care about the youth of the players at all. I do, and so does Ryo Miyaichi. Maybe the British guys don't like Asian players at all. They just want to use us to make money and open up markets in Asia, that's all."

Li Guo could see that Li Heng was really angry. He had a deep misunderstanding of the club. Li Guo understood that European coaches have their own rules for employing people. He remembered that when Kroos just made his debut, Bayern deliberately suppressed him to prevent him from getting ahead early and enduring pressure that did not match his age.

But now no matter what Li Guo said, it was useless, Li Heng was just angry, so Li Guo changed the subject.

"Okay, let's not talk about this, let's think about where to play tomorrow?"

"Well, head, don't worry about this. I am very familiar with London. I used to travel poorly in London when I was free. I just relied on my two legs and didn't spend money. So after a few years, I have been to all kinds of attractions, big and small."

"That's the best. Tomorrow we don't need any means of transportation, just rely on two legs."

****
The plan couldn't keep up with the change, and it rained the next day. As long as it rains in London, even in summer, the temperature will drop to 10 degrees immediately.

The clothes Li Guo brought were all short-sleeved, so it would be too cold, "Damn, London is really a ghost place."

"Haha, the weather is like this, but other things are fine."

The two did not go to famous attractions like Westminster, but to some attractions that only locals would go to, such as the flea market.

As he walked, Li Guo squatted down. An old man was setting up a stall selling magazines, and the magazines on the floor were all from the 70s.

"Damn, Playboy from 1978, does anyone buy this?"

"Of course, good memories," the old man showed an expression that you understand.

Li Guo's real age is born in the 80s. I really don't understand this. When Li Guo was young, he used the Internet and didn't like playboys.

"Didn't you watch Playboy when you were young?"

"I was online when I was young."

The old man was full of doubts and thought: "Was the Internet invented at that time?"

"Head, do you like this? Then I'll buy it for you."

"No, I think it's interesting to chat with this old man."

Unexpectedly, the old man knew Li Heng, "You are Li, I am an Arsenal fan, look, this is an Arsenal ticket from 1980."

Damn, this old guy must have time-traveled too.

Li Heng just said lightly: "Nice to meet you," because Li Heng knew that he was no longer from Arsenal, and there was nothing to be happy about being recognized.

"That Wenger guy is an idiot. He would rather use the clumsy Mertesat than you. No wonder Arsenal are fourth every year."

Confidant, Li Heng thought to himself, but he still chuckled, "It's all over."

"What do you mean? What do you mean it's all over?"

"I'm ready to leave Arsenal and next year the club won't have my name on it."

As soon as this remark came out, the old man who looked like 80 or [-] years old jumped up suddenly. He stared straight at Li Heng, "Son, don't go, stay. Look at Giroud and Walcott. They were also unhappy at Arsenal."

Li Heng shook his head, "It's different, at least they are in the first team."

The old man turned to Li Guo, "How about this, I will give you all the playboys I have collected, can you help me persuade this young man?"

Li Guo thought to himself: "Who cares about your playboy? I grew up watching action movies. We are not from the same era."

Li Guo pushed Li Heng, "Old man, goodbye, those things are best thrown into the trash can, they are not cultural relics."

After speaking, Li Guo and Li Heng left, walked out of the flea market, Li Guo said, "Maybe the old man is right, you should stay."

"Hehe, but I've already had a showdown with the coach, and it's too late now."

Li Guo said slightly: "If you want, I'll talk to Wenger, I want to make one last effort."

Li Heng's eyes sparkled, this is what he dreamed of, Li Heng said gratefully: "The other end, please."
