In fact, when the outside world was all paying attention to Liu Han, Ribery also followed Liu Han to Highbury Stadium, the arrival of this sixteen-year-old child only caused the anger of the Lille academy, in London, no one paid attention to this scar-faced child. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Ribery first signed an academy contract with the club after arriving at Arsenal, with a salary of £1,000 a week being the highest salary in the academy, and Ribery was happy with this, he didn't want to be a first-team player as soon as he arrived, he knew that only success in the academy would make Wenger truly believe in himself.

The 1999-2000 Premier League season will officially start on 7 August 1999, and Arsenal's first game will be against bitter rivals Manchester United in the Community Shield on 1 August, so Arsenal's preparations for this season began on 10 July.

Liu Han arrived in London at the beginning of July, and after everything was settled, Arsenal's training camp began.

Last season, Arsenal were only one point away from second place in the league, which made Wenger a little angry, last season the team did a good job defensively, conceding only 17 goals throughout the season, but the lack of strength in the front line has made it impossible for Arsenal to catch up with Manchester United, you know, Manchester United conceded 37 goals last season, but they scored 80 goals in attack, and the goal difference is one more than Arsenal.

This season, Arsene Wenger is ready to revamp the team in the forward line, he already has a goal, and it is being negotiated, Juventus's young winger Thierry Henry is Wenger's target, the 22-year-old Parisian boy played in the 98 World Cup in France, although his performance in the World Cup was average, but Wenger believes in his own vision and the scout's vision, and the Italians are wasting the potential of this excellent lad.

In addition, Wenger also has his eye on the 31-year-old World Cup Golden Boot Davo Suk, the outstanding Croatian goalscorer has not been used heavily in Real Madrid, although Suker claims to play the violin with his left foot, and scored six goals in the '98 World Cup to become the Golden Boot, but Real Madrid has never looked down on Suker.

Arsene Wenger also intends to drop Bergkamp further and he wants to make the Dutchman the starting point for Arsenal.

Arsene Wenger is relatively satisfied with the backline, with George Graham's steel defence for Arsenal not disintegrating with the departure of some of the veterans, on the contrary, the spirit and awareness of this defence has remained at Arsenal.

The first training session of the season, the team did not start training directly after the assembly, but first began to measure the weight of the players, once it was found that it increased compared with the end of last season before leaving the team, then the players will face "miserable" physical training, this is Wenger since 96 years after the introduction of new regulations, before Wenger took charge of Arsenal, the traditional English football style does not pay much attention to the team's body, but more emphasis on spirit and will, which makes alcohol and beauty ruined a lot of England "genius", Arsene Wenger arrived and began to make drastic changes.

After the measurement, several of the big players in the back have gained weight, including the main goalkeeper David Seaman, which makes Wenger's face quite dark.

Without a word of nonsense, the assistant coach took these veterans away from the main training ground, and they will face a half-month "weight loss".

Liu Han didn't take measurements, he was a newcomer after all. Although Liu Han's height makes a group of football players a little sideways, there is also a 1.97-meter-tall Kanu in the Arsenal team, so Liu Han does not seem so outlierative.

After relentlessly kicking several veterans off the main training ground, Arsene Wenger began to ask the assistant coach to take the players through recovery training, while he took Liu Han out alone.

"Liu, seriously, I do not believe that you are a good goalkeeper, although my scouts told me that you have been training in Lille for a while, but you know, that kind of training is a huge gap compared to the Premier League, and you have only been training for a month, which is hard to convince me, so if you don't just want to be a mascot at Arsenal, then you need to conquer me with your training performance, understand?" Wenger didn't have any scruples about being an NBA superstar, and he was very direct about his purpose.

"Yes, sir, I'm also a professionally trained player, and although it's mostly basketball, I know that any sport can only be successful if you play well on the court, so don't worry about me slacking off in training. I'm going to prove to everyone by my actions that I'm not here to sell jerseys. Liu Han still respects Wenger very much, because he can see that Wenger is not a scheming person, on the contrary, the other party is very honest.

"So, well, I'm looking forward to your performance in training." Arsene Wenger didn't intend for the coach to train Liu Han individually, he had to show everyone that he treated everyone equally, even if the other party was an NBA superstar who once earned more than 10 million a year.

After returning to the group training, Liu Han implemented the assistant coach's arrangement very seriously, and his attitude was very easy-going and peaceful, as if he had been trained in football for a long time, which attracted the attention of the Arsenal players around him.

"Hey, man, you're so strong, are you as strong as you are in basketball?" Kanu, who is 1.97 meters next to Liu Han, asked Liu Han that the Nigerian star underwent heart surgery in '98 and now weighs only 84 kilograms, which looks a little thin.

"Not necessarily, there are skinny ones like you, but seriously, you're tall enough and you're still the tallest footballer I've ever seen." For Africans who first expressed kindness to themselves, Liu Han seemed very kind.

"Seriously, I didn't know that basketball could make more money than football, so I chose football, otherwise I would have played basketball in Nigeria at the time." The Kanu who came out of Africa really cared about money, and it was understandable that nothing was more important to the people who lived in that land than money.

Liu Han smiled and did not continue to respond to Kanu.

The Arsenal players, who had an hour of recovery training, then began to train with the ball, passing and tackling in pairs, and Liu Han was not an exception because he was a goalkeeper, because everyone, including Arsene Wenger, wanted to see if the legendary "talented goalkeeper" could play.

The tallest Liu Han and Kanu were divided into a group, Kanu first broke through Liu Han with the ball, and then Liu Han broke through Kanu with the ball, simple and direct offensive and defensive training, but almost all the coaches were watching Liu Han's group. (To be continued.) )
