Chapter 425: Go or Stay?
"Leave?"
At this time, Li Guo had the feeling that he had just won the jackpot but found out that it was a dream. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Why?"
Li Heng was embarrassed to say that he couldn't stay at Arsenal anymore, so he could only say: "My own career plan, maybe I should go back to China to play." ”
Li Guo seemed to hear something from Li Heng's tone, but it was vague, but one thing was very clear, that is, Li Heng was unhappy, and he seemed unwilling to talk.
"Okay, but I'm in Munich, Germany, and I want to go to London, can you be my guide?"
"Of course," Li Heng's tone instantly lightened.
Hanging up the phone, Lee Hyung fell into deep thought, he remembered a conversation he had with Arsene Wenger a few days ago, and it was after that conversation that Lee Hyung made up his mind to leave Arsenal.
*****
It's a new season again, and as in previous years, Lee Hyung is looking forward to getting into the Arsenal first team next season and playing in the Premier League.
So after today's training, Li Heng found Arsene Wenger and prepared for a showdown with the professor, as we all know that in the Premier League, there are two ways for non-EU players to obtain a labor certification, the first is to represent the national team, and in addition to this, there is an uncommon, but very important way to obtain a labor certification - applying for a special talent clause.
"Genius? Isn't it yourself? "Lee Hyung kept asking himself before going to Arsene Wenger, maybe not, but Lee Hyung is confident that he is a talent, and more importantly, Arsenal did not bring in heavyweight non-EU players this summer, so why can't he give himself this special talent?
Wenger has said to Li Heng countless times, you are very important to Arsenal, you are the future of the team, Koscielny will be old, and you are the next Koscielny, whenever Li Heng heard this, his heart was very happy, and he was willing to continue to play soy sauce at Arsenal no matter how tired he was.
But now Lee Hyung is shaken because he is 20 years old, and in today's football, many players are already the main team when they are 20 years old, and they have not yet entered the first team squad.
After the age of 20, footballers will feel that they are racing against time, 20 to 30 years old is the golden period of a player, no one is an exception, Li Heng can no longer believe that he will play soy sauce at Arsenal for another two years.
When Li Heng met Wenger, who was still mild-mannered, he asked Li Heng what was the matter?
"Boss, I wonder if I'm in your plans for next season."
"Of course!"
Li Heng was overjoyed, "Really? ”
But Arsene Wenger's subsequent words calmed Lee Hyung, "You have always been the most important player for Arsenal. ”
No!
If it was the first time Li Heng heard this, maybe he would have jumped up, just like a primary school student going home with a certificate of merit from a good student, but now, Li Heng won't, and he even feels that this sentence is very hypocritical.
"But boy, you know, you don't have a labor certification in the Premier League just yet, be patient and everything will be fine."
Li Heng stepped forward and propped up the desk in front of him with both hands, "Boss, you can use the special genius clause to help me apply for a labor certification." ”
Wenger was stunned for a while, he finally understood Li Heng's purpose today, Li Heng did not give Wenger time to think, "This year, the team has not brought in non-EU players, why can't you help me apply?" Unless you've been lying for so many years? ”
"Lee, pay attention to who you're talking to!"
No coach allows a player to question himself, even for a man as elegant as Arsene Wenger.
Li Heng took a step back, he realized that he had crossed the line, and quickly apologized, "Boss, I'm sorry, I'm too excited." ”
What does Arsene Wenger really think? First, this place is very precious, and he doesn't want to use it easily, second, Li Heng is still young now, even if he enters the first team, it is impossible to have his place, and third, the international ranking of the Chinese team meets the requirements of the Ministry of Labor, in fact, after the World Cup, Li Heng can easily meet the application criteria as long as he returns to China to play soy sauce.
These are Wenger's true thoughts, but Li Heng doesn't know, he thinks that Wenger is reluctant to take that place, which means that he is worthless in the professor's heart.
"Boss, I want to ask, is this your final decision?"
Arsene Wenger nodded, "If nothing else, this is my final decision, Li you are still young, as a central defender, you can play until you are 40 years old, I guarantee that you will be a regular for Arsenal before the age of 22." ”
But now the words sounded more like sarcasm to Li Heng's ears, and Li Heng was already disappointed, he nodded, and left Wenger's office.
That night, Li Heng had been hesitating, whether to leave or not to leave? Do you really have a future at Arsenal?
Like countless Chinese seniors, Li Heng loves the Premier League, he aspires to make his mark in the Premier League, and he came to Arsenal so early.
Li Heng has even thought about what the media will say about him if he returns to China - another Dong Fangzhuo.
"I want to be Zhou Dun instead of Dong Fangzhuo," Li Heng shouted at the sky, but at the same time he thought of Wenger's resolute attitude, at least this season he has no possibility of maneuvering.
After thinking about it all night, Lee Heng approached Wenger again the next day, this time for a brief meeting, and Lee Heng informed Wenger that he was ready to leave Arsenal.
The professor was shocked at first, but then disappointed, for almost 20 years, there were too many players and a lot of talent in Wenger's hands, but many of them did not stick to it in the end.
Arsene Wenger's habit is not to hold back, that's football, he just stood up and walked towards Lee Heng, and then stretched out his hand, "Lee, I can only wish you good luck and hope you have a brilliant career." ”
Li Heng barely squeezed out a smile, and then said to Wenger: "Thank you for taking care of you for so many years." ”
After turning around, Li Heng is not from Arsenal, Li Heng's heart is very sad at this moment, but this is football, even players like Raul have the experience of staying in the parent team and leaving the country, let alone him.
He had fantasized that Arsene Wenger would keep him, but the illusion didn't happen in the end, and the departure of a second-team player didn't even cause any ripples in the team, but just when Lee Hyung's disappointment, he received a phone call from Lee Guo.
Li Heng thought that Li Guo was going to come to London to play, which was just to fulfill the friendship of the landlord, because soon after, he would also leave London, leaving this beautiful city where he had lived for several years.
Thinking about it, he was really a little reluctant, Li Heng looked at the city of London outside the window. (To be continued.) )
