Chapter 043: Yang Fan's Decision

Newcastle was a surprise, Arsenal was a different story.

The Arsenal Under-19s stayed overnight in Newcastle and rushed back to London early the next morning, leaving the city that had not been a pleasant one. Before coming, no one, from the manager to the players, thought that they would be planted in Newcastle.

A Chinese who came out of nowhere stirred up the good situation of the Arsenal people!

Arsenal Under-19s manager Steve Bond's face was gloomy and he now felt it was ironic that he had boasted to Mr Arsene Wenger before the game that he would win against Newcastle.

He admits that he is underestimating. But who knows where that Chinese popped up?!When did Newcastle come out of thin air with such a fierce general?! Steve Bond felt that he had lost unjustly!

Steve Bond announced that he had cancelled his post-match routine and that the team would head to A.T. Kearney as soon as they returned to London to train normally.

The youth team remained silent on Steve Bond's decision, even though they were only held to a 4-4 draw by Newcastle and did not lose, but is it any different from losing?

A.T. Kearney Training Base. Arsenal's newest training base is set up in lush Hertfordshire, just a 45-minute drive from the Emirates Stadium. It's a modern training base that is ranked among the best in the world.

At the No. 3 training ground, the Arsenal players sat on the turf and chatted on chairs during training breaks.

Wenger was wearing a gray trench coat, and he sat in his chair like that, watching his disciples as the winter sun shone down on him.

This season has been a special one for Arsenal.

After 93 years of history, a part of Arsenal's history: Highbury Stadium, has finally been classified as a part of history, and Arsenal has entered the "Emirates Stadium era". But every stadium has something representative, and for clubs in England, it's like the "treasure of the town" of a century-old store, and it's hard to give it up. Between 1913 and 2006, the thick history of glory and dreams, failures and downfalls, Highbury carried a piece of the arsenal, and it is not easy to turn this page.

After moving to the Emirates Stadium for a season, Arsenal fans who came here to watch the game still felt that something was missing. They don't like the modern display above the pitch, and although they can know the time and the score from there, they are not used to it. With this in mind, the Board of Directors decided to transplant the world-famous clock from Highbury to the new course. The clock, the bronze statue of Chapman, and the marble guns in the hall are Highbury's signature trio.

However, Arsenal's record was the most worrying for fans, and soon the Gunners fell behind in the Premier League title race, and then even dropped to fifth place in the table before Christmas, meaning Arsenal missed out on next season's Champions League.

Arsenal fans are worried about their team, and it is only when they see the man standing on the sidelines directing the game, the Frenchman Arsene Wenger, that they feel a little more at ease.

Arsene Wenger has been in England for 10 years. From when he first arrived in the Premier League, the media wondered 'which Arsèna?' to today's most respected coach in football, Arsene Wenger's contribution to Arsenal and British football is immeasurable, influencing an entire generation of British football peers, and the Premier League in the past 10 years has also borne a deep French imprint.

And Arsenal fans are used to the Frenchman sitting in the dugout!

Not only is it loved by the fans, but Arsene Wenger and the Arsenal hierarchy have enjoyed working together happily.

Arsenal and Arsene Wenger seem to be a natural match in football, with the former giving Wenger a platform to realise his ideals, while the latter has transformed a conservative and monotonous club into a pioneer in guiding the development of football. Cultivate a large number of newcomers, create a superstar, and earn back countless money, but ask for very little. What boss wouldn't like such an employee?!

Therefore, even if Arsenal's ranking slipped to fifth, the club's top management still resolutely expressed their trust in Arsene Wenger!

The French professor then rewarded the club's hierarchy with a big victory.

Two days ago, Arsenal beat Charlton Athletic 4-0 at home to return to the top four!

The big win over Charlton gave Arsenal a chance to breathe, which also made the professor feel a lot better.

"Rice. Did the kids come back?" Wenger asked his assistant Rice.

Rice, who was recording some of the morning's training in his notebook, stopped his pen, he knew who Wenger was referring to by 'kids', Rice pointed in the direction of training ground seven, "Come back, I see them training. ”

"I'm going to see them. Hearing his assistant say that Arsenal's Under-19s are training, Arsene Wenger frowned slightly. As a rule, after a game is played, the team should have a half-day off the next morning.

Arsene Wenger shook his head, he didn't think Newcastle's youth team posed any threat to his own boys.

By the time Arsene Wenger walked to the sidelines of the Under-19s training pitch, the team's training had ended. The players either take a shower and change their clothes in the dressing room. Either already left the training base.

He saw youth head coach Steve Bond chatting with his assistant. Neither of these two seems to be too high.

Arsene Wenger walked up briskly and gestured to Steve Bond. The latter also saw him. Saying something to his assistant, he walked over to Arsene Wenger.

"Arsna, why are you here?" Steve Bond greeted the professor, but his expression was a little stiff.

"I'll take a look. Arsene Wenger said, "How's the lads doing against Newcastle?"

'We scored four goals. Steve Bond said.

"Oh. Wenger nodded happily.

'Newcastle also scored four goals. Steve Bond said with a wry smile.

The smile on the Arsenal manager's face stiffened.

"What's going on?" Wenger asked.

'Newcastle, there was a man who scored a hat-trick. Steve Bond said, "It's a Chinese. ”

"A hat-trick?" Wenger was shocked, "Chinese?!!!!"

Rigberton, Newcastle Under-19s on the training ground.

Yang Fan continued his good form.

In the afternoon training, Yang Fan scored a goal in the match.

It was a lucky goal.

Yang Fan was in the penalty area, and he was flanked by Alex Francis.

Andy Carroll received a pass from Mark Bateman and his shot after a chest stop was blocked by a defender, causing chaos in the box.

The defending team wants to clear the ball.

The attacking side wants to blast the ball into the goal.

The ball didn't know whose body it touched and rolled to the left side of the goal.

Yang Fan had a wonderful feeling that he was almost at the same time as the football rolled there, as if he were a leopard, and he was so fast that Alex Francis, who was defending him, did not react.

Yang Fan rushed to the front of the football, and he picked up his right foot to shoot.

After the ball was drawn by him, it rolled against the turf towards the goal, and the shot could have missed the post, but it hit the defender's calf and flew into the net.

This is one of the worst goals for Yang Fan in the training sessions and games in the past few days, in addition to showing that this kid's recent goal luck is really good.

However, Yang Fan, who saw the football entering the net and completing the shot, felt that there was a bright line in his mind, and the question he had been thinking about from last night to now seemed to have found the answer!

Martin says one of his hidden talents has been activated. What was that?!He felt as if he had grasped something!

That's the key point!

He clenched his fists, as if trying to catch the light in his mind.

He caught it!

In the past few days of training sessions, as well as in the game with Arsenal, most of his goals are rushing to shoot! This may be thanks to the advantage of his 'review memory', he can appear in time at the landing point of football! However, the details determine success or failure, Yang Fan before the game and training, in his mind to go through all kinds of details, in the game, is very serious, his nerves are very keen, keenly capture the details of the game, lest he miss the opportunity! This is a very delicate process, maybe Yang Fan himself didn't notice it, in this process, his grasp of the football landing point and the talent of chasing are slowly being developed!

Maybe it's just a little bit of progress, but for him, it means a lot!

Take this somewhat lucky goal, Yang Fan caught the landing point before the defenders and appeared in front of the football in a timely manner, which is the key to scoring goals!

This young man has captured the most suitable direction for him at this stage. The fog that plagued his eyes and heart was dispelled by this light, and he was able to see the world in front of him more clearly.

The Rigberton training ground today was quite lively, with dozens of journalists showing up at the training base, which made the young people very excited, you know, the youth team's training ground has never been able to attract so much media and reporters.

Although everyone also knows that many of these reporters are coming for Yang Fan, they are also happy, the reporters are watching their training, and they must see not only Yang Fan alone, but also them, if they are excellent and are looked at by these reporters, then even if there can be a report the size of a tofu block, it is enough to make them happy for a while.

Baker was also standing on the sidelines, observing Yang Fan.

In yesterday's game, the Chinese striker's appearance made his eyes shine, his original intention was to observe the players of Arsenal, but he didn't expect that it was this Chinese young man who really impressed him the most.

According to his plan, he originally planned to return today, but Yang Fan's appearance gave this gentleman a reason to stay a few more days.

Baker's notebook has been densely written with a lot of words, these are the information about Yang Fan that he sorted out in half a day from the end of yesterday's game to this morning.

Ten rounds of goal drought.

Bet with a media reporter to score a hat-trick against Arsenal.

What an interesting little guy.

Baker smiled.

Yang Fan's goal just now made the smile on his face even more. The prediction of the landing point of the football, and the decisiveness of the goalkeeper. That's what he saw from yesterday's game and from the goal just now. If it's one accident, two, three, four, it's all similar goals, which says a lot:

"A point-grabbing shooter?"

Baker keenly felt that he should be more than a scout on the scene, and he didn't know if these people came here for Yang Fan, but this undoubtedly gave him a sense of urgency.
