Chapter 392: You're Important!
On the bus from Birmingham back to London, Henry breathed a sigh of relief. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
He had just received the news that the African striker from Chelsea had scored again.
There were not many goals in the early rounds, but Eto'o scored almost every game in the latter games, and has now chased third place in the scorers' list, just behind him, and the veteran Slee, who has scored sixteen goals.
In addition to Samuel Eto'o, Ibrahimovic has also scored a huge number of goals, with 13 so far, behind Ruud van Nistelrooy's 14 and level with Fulham striker Saha, but it looks like he could score more.
Thinking of this, Henry exhaled heavily, feeling his heart blocked.
"What's going on?" Arsene Wenger, the head coach sitting in the front row, heard his sigh and suddenly turned his head and smiled at him, asking him.
Henry is very grateful to this manager, if there is no Wenger, there can be no Henry him, so, in front of Wenger, Henry does not need to hide anything at all, nodding frankly: "That guy is more difficult than Shearer." ”
Shearer is a veteran, and although he was in very good form with a flood of goals in the first half, by the winter break, the goal efficiency had dropped significantly, and it seemed that it was basically impossible to repeat the goal efficiency of the first half.
Ruud van Nistelrooy is Henry's old rivals, no strangers to each other, and has been steady in scoring goals.
Originally, Henry thought that his biggest opponent would be Ruud van Nistelrooy, but he didn't expect to suddenly kill an Eto'o.
Not only Samuel Eto'o, but even Ibrahimovic, seems to be getting better and better.
"It's good to be stressed. Wenger laughed, "But don't worry, all of us will help you." ”
Henry nodded, he understood how much Wenger loved him.
As the team's number one penalty taker, Thierry Henry has scored four or five penalties this season, and even recently, in order to re-energize Thierry's goalscoring form, Arsene Wenger has arranged for high school striker Kanu to start, turning the forward combination into one high and one fast.
For his manager, Henry really couldn't ask for more.
"Don't worry, Boss, I won't lose!" said Henry, confidently.
After he landed in the Premier League from Serie A, he was transformed into a scorer by Arsene Wenger, and the number of goals skyrocketed, scoring seventeen goals in the first two seasons, and the efficiency was quite good, especially in the 0102 season, he scored 24 goals in one breath and was elected the top scorer of the Premier League season.
But last season, he reached the peak of his career, scoring 24 goals, providing 23 assists, and directing 47 goals in a season, which can be described as unparalleled in the world, but in the race for top scorer, he lost by one goal to Manchester United's Ruud van Nistelrooy.
The feeling of being on the verge of losing the league title at the end of the game is like Arsenal losing the league title at the end.
Therefore, this season, Henry has learned from the pain and is determined to make a comeback and regain the top scorer no matter what.
Arsenal were also very supportive, giving him strong backing and confidence.
Wenger heard the confidence from his lover and nodded with satisfaction, "I never doubt you, Thierry, you are the best and most perfect scorer in the world, and no one can compare to you. ”
After hearing this, Henry nodded slightly, smiled, and his eyes became more determined.

…………
With a heavy, slow pace, Lampard finally reached the door of the manager's office.
"I hope we can have a good talk, I'll wait for you in the office. ”
That's what manager Gao Han said after the afternoon training session, when he kept Frank Lampard on hold.
Back in the dressing room, showering and changing, Lampard was thinking the whole time, what to talk about?
What else is there to talk about?
Since Gao Han took charge of the team, he has completely lost his main position, and even during the rotation and injury of Deco and Veron, Gao Han preferred to trust Joe Cole and did not give him much chance, and only arranged for him to play in the cup.
As a result, his performances in the League Cup and FA Cup, all saw it.
Yes, he wants to leave Chelsea, he doesn't deny it because he feels that his value is not recognised here, and in that case he wants to go to a team that is willing to admit it and even help him increase his value.
For example, Manchester United!
Thinking of this, Lampard felt a breath in his chest, raised his right hand, and knocked the door of Alpine's office.
At this moment, he was even mentally prepared to part with the young manager.
"Please come in. Gao Han's voice came from inside.
Frank Lampard opened the door and found Gao Han standing next to a coffee machine next to the sofa, looking at him with a smile.
"Frank, please be seated. Gao Han was steaming hot with a cup of coffee in his hand.
When Lampard walked over after closing, he raised his coffee again and asked: 'Have a drink?'
He seemed pleased with the Nespresso machine behind him.
"Or ...... Don't. Lampard shook his head.
As a professional footballer, he always admonishes himself to try not to touch these kinds of drinks.
"Don't worry, just a cup, I'll add some milk to you. Gao Han suggested.
Lampard thought for a moment before finally nodding.
Gao Han smiled and replied a little wait, turned around and began to toss coffee.
Listening to the sound of grinding beans in the coffee machine, Lampard turned to look at the wall behind him, where a family photo of Chelsea hung on it.
He recognized it at a glance, it was taken in a Chinese restaurant on Christmas night, but he didn't expect that Gao Han really hung him on the wall, but it was a pity that he couldn't see the legendary head coach's girlfriend that night.
According to Deco, it was a goddess as beautiful as an angel.
"I think Greene Wald's photography skills are terrible. Gao Han's voice suddenly sounded.
Lampard wondered, 'Why?'
It looks like a good shot.
But Gao Han said seriously: "He made me ugly." ”
Frank Lampard was stunned, then burst out laughing, is that a reason?
He really didn't expect that Gao Han would have such a sense of humor.
He was even thinking that at the post-match press conference for the Boxing Day game, he directly rejected Glenn Wald's question, could it be because of this photo?
If so, then the Guardian reporter is really unlucky!
It's obviously a volunteer to help people take pictures, but they are still disliked, it's really ......
As Lampard smiled wryly, a cup of hot, milk-infused fancy coffee was placed in front of him, and Gao Han even pulled a flower on it, only to ...... It's ugly.
"I've been studying lately. Gao Han is honest, not afraid to admit that he is not good at learning.
Frank Lampard smiled and picked it up and drank a drink, it did taste good.
After the two sat down face to face, they both drank coffee silently, but soon, Gao Han broke the silence.
"Frank, to be honest, I know you're not happy with where you're on the team, and I can understand how you feel, and trust me, I have absolutely no ill will. ”
Lampard nodded repeatedly, "I understand. ”
The relationship between him and Gao Han is purely a professional conflict, and there is no problem in private.
Otherwise, he would not have been able to sit down and drink coffee face-to-face with Gao Han like this.
'In the last three weeks, there has been a lot of talk about you going to transfer, and even I have the team turn down multiple offers, and frankly, I don't want you to leave because you are important in my plans. Gao Han said very sincerely.
"Me?" said Lampard, stunned.
He would never have imagined that Gao Han would say such a thing to him.
Is this a fool?
But Gao Han nodded solemnly: "Yes, you know, I never lie, especially to my players. ”
"But I can't understand it. Lampard shook his head.
"Then I'll show you something. ”
Gao Han said as he took a thick stack of materials from the sofa next to him and sent it directly to Lampard.
The Chelsea midfielder took it and looked at it, and his brow immediately furrowed.
This material is a detailed analysis of him, not only in his every game, but also in his usual training, with some of them so deep that even Lampard himself was surprised.
"You can't rely on one tactic to beat the world, and when I was at Atletico Madrid, I created three different sets of technical and tactical plays, and even more about the details of the changes. ”
"At the moment, we only have a mature style of play, which is the one that is now playing in the league, and you know, it's very consistent, the players are doing well, so it's very difficult for me to adjust the way the team plays without injuries, especially now that the team is so consistent and the players are playing better and better. ”
Gao Han's explanation is indeed very direct and frank.
Frank Lampard, a player who has been in the professional league for many years, can certainly understand the manager's intentions.
It can even be said that it is impossible for any manager to adjust the team's starting lineup and change the team's style of play at this time, unless he does not want to produce results.
But Gao Han obviously can't, because the huge investment of 200 million euros this summer forces him to produce corresponding results at the end of the season, otherwise the saliva of the English media alone will be enough to drown him.
So, Lampard agrees with Alpine's explanation.
It's one thing to be okay with it, it's another thing to accept it or not, especially if it's in your own interests and career prospects.
"This is the material that you have been tracking by the analysis team since the beginning of the season, and I always thought that you would be the key to our team's change because of your back-up and your attacking and defensive characteristics, as well as the tactical execution in the game, which is admirable. ”
"So, in the cup, I've been constantly adjusting and changing the way the team plays, and I hope to be able to use the cup to develop a set of technical and tactical play that is different from the league, and I'm sure you've seen the results. ”
It was only at this moment that Frank Lampard really understood the manager's intentions.
In order to produce results in the league, the technical and tactical style of play and the main lineup must remain stable, so the cup competition is used to try to change the formation.
And it revolves around Frank Lampard.
This immediately warmed Lampard's heart, and it turned out that he was not in the manager's mind, he had no status as he had imagined.
"You have to believe me, Frank, I'm not going to give up on any player, especially a player as good as you. Gao Han still said very sincerely and sincerely, "Although I can't promise you anything now, I want you to understand that you are very important in my heart. ”
'It's not just this season, it's not just the League Cup and the FA Cup, we're playing the UEFA Cup this season, we're going to play the Champions League next season and you're going to be a vital part of our team. ”
