On the vast sea, the wind swept the dark clouds, and between the clouds and the sea, there was a steamer, the Contefandi, sailing under the boundless waves of the Indian Ocean.

Under normal circumstances, the members of the Chinese Olympic delegation on the ship were already vomiting in the dark, and they couldn't distinguish between the southeast and the northwest at all. But with the help of the many medicines left by Lu Zhuhu, everyone didn't feel too uncomfortable, and the only thing they had to worry about was "boredom". However, everyone also uses their brains to deal with boredom, and each has its own tricks. The Chinese delegation lived in the second-class cabin, and some of the athletes read books, some played cards, and some four people gathered around a table of mahjong to enjoy themselves.

The 14 players of the basketball team are always inseparable, and they are still studying the drawing board in bed; Cheng Jinguan, a track and field athlete from Soochow University, is a little money-saving expert, he thinks that the laundry on the boat is too expensive, and when he passes through Hong Kong, he buys a big iron, irons his own clothes, and irons other teammates, but the women do not charge money, so that the male athletes shout "unfair"; Race walker Zhang Zaojiu played a mandolin (a small stringed instrument) well, and played a southern Italian tune for everyone from time to time, so that Xiao Dong and Xiao Hua couldn't help but think that Lu Shi's guitar also played very well, and if he was on the boat with them, he would definitely be able to show off and win the favor of beautiful female athletes; Fu Baolu, a lively pole vaulter, couldn't help but itch whenever he heard the sound of the piano, and danced a tula dance to the music, which made everyone laugh. When it rains heavily outside the window, Xiao Dong and Xiao Hua will also pull everyone up to play the "Werewolf Killing" and "Three Kingdoms Killing" that Lu Zhuhu taught them - this is simply the most useful thing that "Lu Shi" taught them.

Li Huitang was also in a good mood, standing alone on the side of the ship, looking at the boundless ocean, his heart couldn't help but become broad-minded, and his heart also surged, and he couldn't help but chant loudly:

Meritorious West people create football,

I want to rely on my strength.

The husband raised Haoran,

Kick over five continents in one go!

The last sentence shows his ambition to compete with the heroes of the world at a glance.

"Wow, Master Li's poetry is really unbeatable!" Xiaohua was about to pull the captain of the football team and the former coach of their Fudan University, Master Li, into the lineup of the "Three Kingdoms Kill".

Li Huitang smiled: "It's okay to shout a few words." ”

However, Xiaohua was a little puzzled by what Li Huitang said in the poem: "Master Li, I heard Master Lu say that football was obviously invented by us Chinese, and in history, Gao Taiwei also played football, but how do you say in the poem that football was invented by Westerners?" ”

Li Huitang explained: "Although there were stumbles in ancient China, the dynasties have not declined, especially in the Tang Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty was also the same, but it is a pity that many skills and kicking methods have been lost over time. Contemporary football was created by the British. "Li Huitang himself is not only a good player and coach, but also has a lot of research on football tactics and the history of traditional Chinese keju, but he is not an arrogant person who sits on the well and watches the sky and night. It's really rare in this day and age.

"Oh!" Xiaohua was a little frustrated when he heard this, and he thought that foreigners also learned from Chinese.

"Haha, don't be discouraged. Although contemporary football is a game of play transformed by the British, we Chinese have not completely lost our traditions. Like when I was younger, modern football was not yet popular, and we would play the same style of play as the ancient Keju...... Otherwise, we wouldn't have achieved so much better results than Japan and the Philippines, and we still have a foundation......"

The two of them said, stepped down from the second-class cabin, and prepared to come to the big werewolf to kill ......

……

On the other hand, Lu Zhuhu finally arrived in London, which is now the greatest modern city on the planet, and was ready to go to Arsenal.

The way to get to the Arsenal Club is also very simple, take the metro and get off at the "Arsenal Station".

I have to admit that at this time, Arsenal was super bullish, London and the British Empire were also super bullish, and its advanced degree was difficult to match elsewhere. The famous London Underground is the oldest underground railway in the world, with a total length of 402 kilometres. Can you imagine when the world's largest subway was built?

Construction of the London Underground began in 1856 and officially opened on 10 January 1863......

Well, at this time in 1856, the Great Qing Kingdom was still in trouble...... China's first subway, the Beijing Metro, was built in 1965 and completed in 1969...... More than a hundred years late......

After all, the empire is large at this time, and the total population is even much larger than that of our Celestial Empire, which has always been the most populous, and the degree of modernization is even more invisible...... But who would have expected that after World War II, the US imperialists would soon completely snatch the name of the world's leader and the most advanced and modern......

However, the "Arsenal Station" is still very worthy of the joy of gun fans, Tottenham has been shouting for almost a hundred years and has not been able to build a "Tottenham" station, to this day, Arsenal is still the only football team in London to name the subway station after the club, which is also due to the greatest Chapman in the history of the club, "Who has heard of Gillespie Road, all around here is called Arsenal!" "Then the metro station behind the North Stand was renamed. In modern society, it is troublesome to change the name on the ID card, not to mention the subway station, the gate of the subway station has to be rebuilt, the tickets, maps and road signs need to be changed, and even the machinery and equipment have to be reconfigured...... But Arsenal's influence in this era had to be convinced, and despite all the difficulties, on November 5, 1932, the name "Arsenal" was printed on the London Underground for the first time.

For Lu Zhuhu, if it weren't for their whim to change their name, it wouldn't be so simple to come to Highbury by themselves......

Arsenal's brilliance in north London at this time naturally does not need to be repeated, the British "Independent" at the turn of the century counted the average club historical ranking in all English league systems in the 20th century (for example, if there were 20 teams in the top league at that time, the second league champion would be set at 21, and so on), Arsenal ranked first in history, 2-10 followed by Liverpool, Everton, Manchester United, Villa, Tottenham, Newcastle, Manchester City, Chelsea and Sunderland. In fact, the top 10 points of all clubs in English football in the history of the top 10 are also roughly the same as these ten clubs, but Arsenal and Liverpool are reversed, after all, Arsenal was mixed in the second league at the beginning, but when he was promoted to the top league, he was never relegated, which is incomparable to other opponents.
