34. Cold, stupid nurse, sit on the bench again
"A false alarm." Outside the Kearney training base clinic, Steve Bald exhaled and smiled at Arsène Wenger, "Wall is just a small cold, just rest for a few days." ”
"You should be able to make it in time for the weekend, right?" Arsene Wenger asked.
Arsenal team doctor Colin Levin snorted for a moment: "Theoretically, it should be possible, for the sake of conservatism, it is best not to start." ”
Bald frowned, how can this be done, although the opponent at the weekend is Swansea, but the Welsh Swans have beaten Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium for two consecutive seasons, although they beat the opponent twice last season, but the 3-2 score at home shows that the Gunners home away star is not so easy to deal with, without Tan Xibi in charge, the Gunners' defense is difficult to reassure, you must know that this team that fights for relegation every year has scored at the Emirates Stadium for three consecutive seasons.
Arsene Wenger is well aware of Swansea's toughness and the weekend's game will mean a lot to him.
The game will be Arsene Wenger's 800th Premier League game in charge since taking over at Arsenal in September 1996.
In the last 799 games, Wenger has led the team to 462 wins, 194 draws and 143 defeats.
Arsene Wenger will naturally be hoping that his side can win at this milestone moment, close the distance to the top four and retain a glimmer of hope of winning the league title.
As for 11 more games to surpass Alex Ferguson as the manager with the most Premier League games in charge, it is not so important to Arsene Wenger, after all, it is a matter of course.
The important thing is that Tan Xibi is not sick at the right time, he needs to play more and integrate into the new tactical system as soon as possible, to change the sad situation that the team will lose when playing strong teams and struggling to play weak teams, Tan Xibi is the only person to make the Gunners' waist hard.
The door to the clinic opened, and a female nurse came out and said to them, "The patient told me that he will get better soon and will be able to play in the weekend games." ”
Arsene Wenger and Balder looked at each other and were delighted by Tan's professionalism.
"Take good care of Wall." Arsene Wenger explained a few words to nurse Emma Jessica and left with Levine and Bald.
Jessica, who has the same name as British star Emma Watson, is a Chinese-British mixed-race child, and she is young and beautiful, so she happened to be a senior in college, so she came to Arsenal to work as a trainee nurse in the clinic.
In fact, she just wanted to graduate successfully, and nursing was not a necessary choice for her employment.
Stardom is her dream, she wants to be like Watson, be able to shoot an electric like Harry Potter, and become famous in one fell swoop.
But she doesn't want to think about it, at the age of 21, she is still a rookie from a non-professional class, she is already a big man, and if she wants to be a late bloomer, she must either have strong strength and luck. Or climb into the director's, producer's bed and make a vase.
It's a pity that Jessica can't do both, and if her Chinese father knew that his daughter was using the unspoken rules to get to power, he would have to break her legs.
As for strength, is it too late to learn acting at this time?
"Wow, your experience is so inspiring!" The silly girl opened her mouth wide and looked at Tan Xibi who was lying on the bed with a hanging bottle with adoring eyes.
Idle and bored, Tan Xibi chatted with Jessica, talking about his own experience, Tan Xibi naturally said the public version, Jessica was moved, and admired Tan Xibi's inspirational experience very much.
Tan Xibi also knew Jessica's life experience during the chat, and she was stupid and sweet with no heart, and she was still half a female compatriot, Tan Xibi didn't waste any effort, she dug up her measurements, girlfriends, various hobbies, and even the secrets that her parents knew.
"This stupid girl, I don't know where the luck came from, it's still the original goods." Tan Xibi looked at Jessica, who was amused by his jokes, and a pair of small balls on his chest couldn't stop beating, and quietly swallowed his saliva, secretly suppressing the anger that was about to rush out of the dantian.
He didn't want to think he'd be a boy.
The news of Tan Xibi's illness was blocked by the club, plus it was just a cold, so Arsenal's training continued as usual. After training every day, teammates such as Héctor Bellerin and Alex Iwobi would come to visit him, making Jessica more and more adoring Tan Xibi.
In the UK, a country with a strong football culture and atmosphere, footballers have a high social status, especially at the star level, and are very popular.
Although Jessica is not a hardcore fan, she still knows star-level players, so seeing some well-known Arsenal players and Tan Xibi so good, I am full of affection for this boy who is from the same country as his father.
October 28th is the traditional festival of the Double Ninth Festival in China, on this day, people travel to enjoy the autumn, climb high and overlook, watch chrysanthemums, eat Chongyang cakes, drink chrysanthemum wine, etc., many places in China will also launch activities to respect the old and love the old.
Jessica pushed open the door in a hurry, saw the empty hospital bed, and was stunned for a moment, only to remember that Arsenal was going to play this afternoon, and Tan Xibi was discharged from the hospital in the morning.
I don't know why, looking at the empty room, every move with Tan Xibi in the past two days kept flashing back in Jessica's mind.
Confused eyes looked around the room that had once been full of laughter, and suddenly, Jessica's eyes flashed with a glint in his eyes.
On the counter next to the bed, there is a piece of paper.
Is this what Wall left me?
Jessica thought as she walked over and picked up the note to look at it, with a sweet smile on her face.
"Dear Emma, today is a traditional festival for half of your hometown, if you have free time in the afternoon, come and watch the game live. I can go with you after the game. By the way, tell my uncle and aunt what I like before I go, the custom of our Chinese people is to go to other people's houses, and you can't go empty-handed, so you have to buy some gifts. ”
Hmph, spare you, I haven't forgotten what I said yesterday.
Jessica picked up the ticket next to the note in her heart, this is a VIP ticket, the location is good, Tan Xibi entrusted a good friend to bring it to him.
"Ah, if you don't leave, you'll be late!" Jessica slapped her forehead, exclaimed, and turned to leave the room with a gust of wind.
The wall clock in the room shows 14:30.
"Wall, how are you feeling?" Arsene Wenger asked Tan Xibi, who was sitting on the bench, with concern.
"It's totally fine, chief, is it too late to change the starting lineup?" Tan Xibi said as if I was very healthy.
"Don't worry, you'll be playing." Arsene Wenger reassured, "You have a cold, just play half-time." Next weekend's game is the most important thing, so you have to be in the best shape. ”
"Oh." Tan Xibi nodded, slumped in his chair in his coat, London at the end of October, although it was cloudy, the temperature was only 7-8 degrees, so the Arsenal players sitting on the bench were wearing thick clothes, and even the teammates on the field, most of them were wearing cold-proof underwear and long-sleeved jerseys.
"Hey, why didn't Wall make the starting lineup?" In the Sky Sports live broadcast room, host Simon Thomas said in surprise.
