Chapter 4 A.T. Kearney Training Base (Part II)

Qin Shou felt that although his introduction was also very simple, it was also correct. Although he seems to be best playing in midfield these days, now that he has stepped into the professional league and is determined to make a difference in football, he must have his own pursuits.

His pursuit is simple, which is to be a striker, score lots and lots of goals, and then make a lot of money.

However, he didn't notice that when he introduced himself like this, several players had unhappy looks in their eyes.

In fact, since the departure of Thierry Henry and Patrick Vieira, the century-old club has been facing two major problems, namely the lack of toughness in midfield and the lack of a weak forward line, which is the most important reason why Arsenal have been able to finish in the top four of the league in recent seasons, but have not been able to go further.

Compared with the defense in the midfield, the Gunners' lack of offensive strength is even more of a headache.

As we all know, since the Frenchman Arsene Wenger took over the coaching whip of the team, Arsenal has taken the route of technical flow, in England, it is generally a long pass and rushing, under the traditional style of play, Arsenal's technical flow style can be described as unique, and their smooth coordination and strong attacking ability have always been talked about by the world.

However, after Thierry Henry left Highbury, Arsenal's attacking ability has been criticized. In the past, it wouldn't have been a big deal if they had been a little less defensive, as their goalscoring prowess more than made up for it. However, the weakness of the forward line in recent years made it difficult for them to suppress their opponents with continuous offensives, which caused the embarrassing situation of the arsenal without a championship for several years.

So after Qin Shou boasted that his favorite position was a striker, several strikers in the Arsenal team were a little unhappy. The sudden return of the former king of the Gunners has given them a sense of urgency, and now there is another "striker", what does this mean, is it because the coach is not satisfied with them, so he brought in two strikers in a row in the winter?

Henry has too much influence at Arsenal Club, even if they are dissatisfied, they don't dare to complain about anything, but a nobody like you, or from a football desert like Asia and the United States, can't we fix you?

At that moment, a tall, blonde young player stepped forward.

"Hey, boy, I heard you went to the police station last night. How did this happen in London? Although London is prosperous, we are professional footballers, and we must not touch things that should not be contaminated. ”

This sentence sounded fine, it seemed to be just an exhortation, but the mockery in the tone could not be concealed.

Qin Shou is not stupid, he wanders alone in a strange country, and he has seen a lot of people's warmth and coldness, how could he not hear the meaning of the other party's words.

Qin Shou frowned, he didn't know where he had offended the tall blonde player in front of him, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and opened his mouth, but he didn't explain anything.

However, Coach Alder next to him didn't want Qin Shou to make a bad impression on his new teammates, so he glared at the blonde player and said, "Qin did go to the London Police Station yesterday, but it was because he assisted the Royal Police in solving a theft case. In this respect, Qin can be regarded as establishing a good image for the club. ”

After saying that, Coach Alder turned to the blonde player and said sternly: "Niklas, don't follow the crowd. When you don't know the specifics of the matter, don't question others. Slander is not a gentleman's doing. ”

The blonde player known as Niklas, whose full name is Niklas. Nicklas Bendtner is a young striker from Denmark. Boasted as the most talented striker in the history of Danish football, he was inevitably arrogant and conceited by a lot of applause and accolades, but since joining Arsenal, his performances have not matched his fame, scoring few goals, performing between good and bad, and he is the team's third striker - if it weren't for Arsenal's current squad of only three positive strikers, he might not even have played much.

Bendtner, who wanted to taunt and hit this new Asian kid, was reprimanded by the coach a little, and his heart was naturally even more unhappy. However, he didn't dare to go against the coach, so he had to glare at Qin Shou hatefully, turn his head and stop talking.

"Are you Korean? Or the Japanese? Bendtner didn't speak again, but there were many players who had a good relationship with him, and a short-haired young man with a handsome face looked at Qin Shou with a smile, "My name is Robin, Robin." Fan. Persie (Robinvan Persie). ”

Qin Shou's face sank instantly. Bendtner's ridicule had already made him feel faintly angry in his heart, and the seemingly friendly but secretly sneering words of this guy in front of him made Qin Shou a little angry. He didn't believe that these guys, who had even known about his visit to the police station yesterday, would not know that he was from China. Now that I know, I still knowingly ask, what is this? Dismounted? Or an insult without scruples?

Qin Shou clenched his fists, his eyes were cold and sharp: "My name is Qin Shou, and I am from China-country!" ”

The three words "Chinese", Qin Shou almost gritted his teeth and said word by word. The other party's words really made him feel angry, he was a dignified Chinese, a descendant of a dragon, not some stick or a dwarf dwarf!

"Oh, Chinese...... Do Chinese play football? Van Persie still had a smile on his face, but the mockery in his tone was felt by everyone present, "I've heard of your country, but of course I don't mean football. Ha, you men have a pigtail on the back of their heads, and women are used to wrapping their feet...... It's an interesting custom. ”

"Interesting?"

Qin Shou whispered to himself in a voice that only he could hear, he lowered his head, his gloomy expression like water no one could see, but on his bare arms, the green tendons had already burst out one by one.

"By the way, my strange thing is, why don't you have a mouse braid on your head? Ha ha! ”

Van Persie was still there talking to himself, talking about his happiness and even laughing. And several players around him also laughed.

Although he didn't know why these people were so targeted at him when they first met, Qin Shou knew very well that he was here to play football and learn things, so he had been restraining his anger. However, Qin Shou, who was already very hot-tempered, could no longer suppress the anger in his heart at this moment, and took two steps forward, wanting to teach this bastard who laughed at himself, insulted himself, and even insulted his country a good lesson.

But just as he was about to make a move, a strong arm pulled him back.

"Qin, don't."

Qin Shou turned his head, and Henry also shook his head slightly at him with an unsightly face.

If the other side is allowed to trample on his own dignity and trample on the dignity of his own country, such training should not be done. Don't want such a lease!

"Let go!"

Qin Shou's tone was very cold, and his eyes were even more indescribably indifferent. This made Henry, who thought he was already very familiar with Qin Shou, suddenly feel that the young man in front of him was so unfamiliar. At this moment, he even had a feeling that if it weren't for the fact that he was Qin Shou's friend, maybe the moment he grabbed his arm, he would be knocked to the ground by the other party.

But Henry still didn't let go, he grabbed Qin Shou tightly. He didn't want Qin Shou to lose the opportunity to stay at Arsenal. For a young player, such an opportunity is precious.

Just when Qin Shou and Henry were facing off, several young players who were also Arsenal couldn't watch it. A black boy who was not tall, but had very good eyes, walked out.

"Enough, Robin! Now that Qin has come to A.T. Kearney, he is a member of Arsenal. He's already our team-mate, so you have to give your teammates, your teammates, a lot of respect. ”

The black kid is called Theo. Theo Walcott, is an England homegrown player. Born in Southampton, Walcoat was spotted by Coach Wenger and brought to A.T. Kearney with him, so he is extremely grateful to Coach Wenger and the Arsenal club, and is the most loyal supporter of the Arsenal club. In his heart, Coach Arsene Wenger, who treats him like a father, is the best manager in the world, he treats every young player well, and he is willing to give young people opportunities. And the young Chinese player in front of him is also favored by Coach Wenger, then they are all the same, there is no difference between poor and low.

He doesn't like players who forget their original intentions after becoming famous, and he doesn't like players who are in the team. So he has always had contradictions with Van Persie and others. Although Van Persie and others are the absolute main force of the team today, big-name stars, he is not afraid. He's a native and he's the most pure-blooded English player.

"Theo, it looks like you're going to get together with this Chinese kid." Van Persie looked at Walcott with a smile, and the unhappiness in his eyes flashed, "Yes, only those of you who can't even guarantee the main position are willing to be friends with him." After all, it's a person all the way, haha! ”

With that, Van Persie waved his hand, and their small group laughed, then stepped aside and chatted to themselves.

Theo's swarthy face also became very unsightly. The friends who knew him well were all indignant, but there was no other way.

And assistant coach Alder just watched from afar, without words. Every team has a few small groups of one kind or another, and no one can stop that. The coaches can only try their best to maintain the harmony and balance in the dressing room, as long as the team can be united, they will not interfere with the rest.

Again, coaches are not life nannies, all they can do is manage the team well, as for the relationship between the players, their hands can't be stretched out so long.

Qin Shou quietly watched as the group of people stepped aside, and his clenched fists gradually loosened.

"Let it go, Thierry, I'm fine."

Henry hesitated for a moment, but finally chose to believe Qin Shou and let go of the arm he was pulling.

Seeing that Qin Shou really didn't rush over angrily, Henry finally relieved.

It's just that what he didn't notice was the firmness that flashed in Qin Shou's eyes.

"These bastards, one day, I want you to taste the power of Lao Tzu's fist!"
