"Bang!"

After hearing the warning, the loyal Protector Heng took a step forward with lightning speed to block the sudden flying object, but his back was slammed hard. And although John escaped the catastrophe, he was taken aback by this sudden incident!

When the two of them were still a little confused, a short young man ran over and apologized repeatedly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry two gentlemen, are you okay?" ”

"It's fine."

Under John's concerned gaze, Henry just grinned and said, "It hurt a little when I was hit, but this thing is very soft, it's nothing!" ”

Hearing Henry say this, John looked at the flying thing.

It's a round thing, and it's so dark that you can't see its original appearance clearly, but judging from its size and Henry's reaction after being smashed just now, it should be a relatively light thing. Looking at the young man running over and the noisy crowd not far away, John immediately understood that this was a football from more than a hundred years ago!

"This is football?"

Blinking, John couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, sir."

The young man glanced at John a little strangely, as if he was puzzled that the other party didn't know about football, and nodded: "We are having a game, and I am sorry to hit this gentleman just now...... This gentleman is not injured, is he? ”

"I'm fine."

Seeing that the other party apologized to him again, Henry quickly waved his hand and smiled.

The young man was very polite, and Henry's reaction was not much worse. After all, he was also a coachman trained by old Huntelaar and Hans, and Henry's watch was quite satisfactory to John. In fact, even if the current manufacturing technology is backward, making football a little heavy, but for a young and strong guy. There is nothing wrong with smashing his back, and Henry naturally doesn't care.

After repeatedly apologizing, the young man ran back to the game with the football in his arms, and to Henry's surprise, his master, Mr. Huntelaar Jr., did not leave immediately, but approached the venue of the game. I watched it with great interest......

John is of course very interested in football.

In fact, in his previous life, he was not very keen on football, but in this era of lack of entertainment, John will be very interested in any activity that can pass the time, including football, of course.

After 19 years of rebirth, he was tired of reading, partying, and dancing with entertainment!

No internet, no TV, no radio. Even movies had not yet been born, and it has to be said that there was very little entertainment in this era, and for little Mr. Huntelaar, how to spend his leisure time became a very important problem.

Therefore, when he saw the football game today, his heart also moved slightly.

The rapid development of the industrial revolution has greatly increased the labor productivity of the European continent, and at the same time, it has also accelerated the process of urbanization, which in turn has provided the soil for the development of sports. It was also during this time period of the 19th century. Many sports were eventually invented, with the exception of football, which was becoming more and more perfect. Modern tennis has only been born for ten years, and basketball, volleyball and other sports will also appear within a decade......

Subconsciously, John thought of a lot of things.

Merely......

"It's too rudimentary."

Watching a group of people running and chasing on the field, John quickly shook his head with a smile. Although he was not very interested in football in his previous life, there was never a shortage of real fans or pseudo-fans around him, and he also watched many games during the World Cup. So a lot of things are still very well understood. In his opinion, the people who play football now are just running blindly, and they don't see the slightest sense of organization at all. So after ten minutes on the sidelines, John left with Henry out of interest.

But as he was leaving, John's heart suddenly moved. He whispered to the coachman next to him: "Henry, go back and inquire, is this kind of football game very common in London?" There are no dedicated clubs! “

"Yes, sir."

Although he immediately agreed, after blinking his eyes, Henry didn't understand what John wanted to do, and couldn't help but ask, "Sir, are you interested in this kind of sport?" “

"Hmm."

Nodding slightly, John smiled slightly: "Actually, not only this kind of exercise, but also many other sports, I am very interested......

……

One day is enough time for Henry to inquire about many things.

For example, 20 years ago, the British had already established the world's first football association, which later became known as the FA......

In fact, Henry has heard that there are a number of football clubs in London alone, for example, just last year, a team called "Dale Square" was formed in the Woowich area, which is said to have been founded by workers from a weapons factory called Real Arsenal......

"Are you sure it's Real Arsenal?"

Upon hearing Henry's casual name, John's eyes widened immediately.

"Yes sir, it's Real Arsenal!"

Blinking, Henry nodded with certainty: "I was more impressed by this, because their team was soon renamed Real Arsenal, which is the name of that arsenal." ”

Boom!

After hearing Henry's confirmation, John couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of spit. In his previous life, although he was an absolute pseudo-fan, or not even a pseudo-fan, but because there is a young colleague who is a die-hard fan of Arsenal, he has usually popularized a lot of relevant knowledge about this club, such as the origin of Arsenal, and why it is called the Gunners, etc., so as soon as I heard Henry's narrative, I immediately remembered the glorious history of this club in the future!

Of course, the sought-after club is still an amateur club.

"Hmm...... Do you want to buy a football club? ”

Rubbing his smooth chin, John pondered in his heart.

At the level of economy in this era, the cost of buying and supporting a football club would not be too low, but it would probably not be stressful for John. And if there is continuous capital investment, the club may become a century-old football giant, like Arsenal and Manchester United in the future!

It seemed like a lot of fun to John......

……

Hehe, I hardly watch football, and this plot is purely to satisfy an avid Gunners fan around me, and soon, it will pass by. (To be continued......)
