After Arsene Wenger knew that Chen Fan had space claustrophobia, he arranged for a staff member to accompany him, patted him on the shoulder and said: "For me, this is nothing new, Bergkamp often take the train to away games. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Dutch talent Bergkamp is undoubtedly an important member of Arsenal's history, but he has severe spatial claustrophobia.

For this, he missed the Korea-Japan World Cup.

Arsene Wenger is lamenting for the Dutch team: At the World Cup in South Africa, the Netherlands will be missing a talented player.

"If I'm not mistaken, you came to London twice, both by plane."

Arsene Wenger was puzzled.

Chen Fan explained: "I was taking sleeping pills at that time, and the doctor said that taking sleeping pills for a long time will damage the brain, and after a long time, I will be resistant to the drugs. ”

Wenger thought for a moment, nodded inwardly, patted him on the shoulder again and said, "Take good care of yourself on the train." ”

……

At 4pm on the 15th, at Stamford Bridge, the opening match between Chelsea and Hull City marked the official start of the 09-10 season.

After 90 minutes of fierce action, Chelsea won the game 2-1 to get the season off to a flying start.

This game gave Chen Fan a new understanding of the phrase "there are no weak teams in the Premier League".

Since it was a train, Chen Fan set off before the rest of his teammates, and he got on the train to Liverpool at 9 a.m.

Everton are a Liverpool side that are much smaller than their fellow city Liverpool, but they have a longer history than Liverpool.

Everton was founded in 1878, fourteen years before Liverpool!

They are one of the founders of the English league, having won the English top flight nine times, the FA Cup five times, and the European Cup Winners' Cup once!

In 1878, Everton Football Club was officially established, and in 1892, due to a dispute between shareholders over dividends, the result of the dispute was that some shareholders ordered the creation of Liverpool Football Club, which has since become the "great neighbor" of the Everton team.

Everton, one of the founders of the league, won the league title in the 1890-91 season, the third year of the league's existence.

Prior to the Second World War, Everton won four more league titles: in 1914-15, 1927-28, 1931-32 and 1938-39.

They also won the FA Cup twice in 1906 and 1933.

In the 20s of the 20th century, Everton established the reputation of England's powerhouse, and in the 1927-28 season, the legendary Dixie ? Dean scored 60 goals in one season!

Not only helped Everton win the league title that year, but also set a single-season goal record that no one has broken so far!

Towards the end of the last century, Everton's results slipped and they often struggled with relegation. Everton's results improved as they entered the new millennium, finishing fourth in the Premier League in '04.

Since the Scotsman David? Since David Moyes took over Everton in 2001, the mid-table Premier League side has firmly established themselves in the Premier League and has improved every year, putting unprecedented pressure on the traditional semi-finals.

Last season, Everton finished fifth in the Premier League and runners-up in the FA Cup!

In order to improve the team's results this season, David Moyes spent £6 million this summer to buy Dutch centre-back Heitinga from Atletico Madrid, with the intention of strengthening the defence.

In addition, he also bought five players, including Garbant, to strengthen the team.

Overall, Everton has maintained the main squad from last season, and its strength should not be underestimated.

……

There is no matchup between the big clubs, and the focus is on Tottenham Hotspur at home against an ambitious Liverpool.

However, what people didn't expect was that before the start of the game, a large number of journalists gathered in Liverpool, the second largest port city in the United Kingdom!

They came to cover the Arsenal and Everton matches, and they came to watch Chen Fan's Premier League debut.

After all, Chen Fan's performance in the Eredivisie last season was too amazing, after all, Chen Fan has the aura of "standard king".

To put it bluntly, most of them came to find fault and laugh at Arsene Wenger, because Chen Fan's performance in the warm-up match gave them confidence and reasons.

At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the conference hall on the seventh floor of the Liverpool Hilton Hotel gathered nearly 100 media, and the pre-match press conference was taking place here.

"It's a new season for us, a new beginning. What hasn't changed is our goal - to win the championship! ”

Looking at Wenger, who was full of confidence on the stage, the corners of some reporters in the audience showed sarcasm.

Arsene Wenger has said this every year since the start of the 04-05 season, but five years on, they have not won a single Premier League title.

Last season's best result was reaching the semi-finals of the Champions League, but they were swept by Manchester United in the semi-finals, 1-3 at home and 4-1 away, a result that put Arsenal to shame.

There has not been a title for five years, and some people even say that Arsenal is simply not worthy of the title of "Premier League giant".

'We're going to walk away with a win at Goodison Park and that's our goal tonight.'

The team's results in the warm-up games were mediocre, with one win and one draw, but Arsene Wenger still has confidence in his team.

Arsene Wenger quickly wrapped up his remarks and the press conference moved on to a question session.

A young journalist took the lead in asking: "Chen's performance in the two warm-up games was average, will you start him tonight?" ”

Previously, the Guardian had published an article questioning Chen Fan, and Wenger wanted to use this time to defend his disciples.

"No, Chen is just a player who has just turned nineteen, his ability has long surpassed that of players of the same age, and in my heart he is the best player of his generation!"

Arsene Wenger said in a deep voice: "Two warm-up games, a goal, an assist, what more can we ask of him? ”

'We can't expect too much from a young player and I'm sure he's going to get better and better and get back to the same level he was in the Eredivisie last season.'

"He'll surprise you tonight, I promise!"

There were whistles in the audience, where would the reporters believe what Wenger said, these whistles were mocking him.

Wenger's face did not change at all, he even enjoyed such a scene, and he was willing to share the honor and disgrace with his disciples.

Wenger's words quickly reached Chen Fan's ears through the media, and he silently walked to the balcony of the hotel room with a bottle of mineral water.

"Hey, Chen, don't carry too much unnecessary baggage, some are not what you should carry, this is Mr. Wenger's usual method!"

Van Persie shouted at him.

Chen Fan stopped his steps and said in a deep voice: "I don't like the whistles at the scene, and I don't like the comments of reporters. ”

Just now, a reporter from Sky Sports said on the TV camera: "Let's see tonight what kind of 'surprise' this young man who was bought by Mr Wenger at a high price will give us!" ”
