Thierry Henry knew she had found a treasure. A well-informed former world superstar, he vows that with his centuries of knowledge of football, he's seen a fantastic physical, American and a young and old man who made a splash in the first team at the age of 16 or seven. But he has never seen a 15-year-old Chinese teenager who knows nothing about football, but his ability to understand football skills and tactics is simply a thousand miles in a day.

Well, what I mean by saying human is that Qiansheng is a person who was born to kick football with his brain.

What is Kicking a Ball with the Brain? Well, typical examples can be seen from far away such as French champions Zinedine Zidane and Denis Bergkamp, and more recent ones such as Andre Pirlo, the master who created an organizational midfield, Hernandez Xavi, the Spanish brain, and Andres Iniesta, who is known as the novice. (Don't throw eggs, the author is to avoid flooding, I believe that the emperors who understand the ball also understand)

Of course, almost all of these people are midfield superstars without exception, and because of the position of the strikers, few strikers are recognized as playing with their brains. Well, the killer Philippe Inzaghi who claims to be dancing at the offside line is one, and the Gunners king Thierry Henry is also one. (A striker who can win the league assist king can be regarded as playing with his brain.) ）

Santi Cazorla and Mesut Ozil are the two midfielders who play with their brains and Arsenal are still in the title title hopes. It's just that Arsenal after three winless games, morale was hit hard, and the away game was kicked by an unknown 18-year-old kid with an overhead kick and an assist to return to London.

More than 10 years without a championship, so that Arsenal fans are familiar with this team in February and March habitually dropped the chain, although with the strength of Arsenal, keeping four is not a problem, but in this season's downturn, the Premier League can not take the opportunity to regain a league title, and so on next season the well-known coach Pep Guardiola comes to the Premier League, the madman Mourinho returns again, the young Tottenham Hotspur rises strongly, coupled with the rich and wealthy Red Army who is determined to revive, Arsenal's future prospects are not optimistic.

Although he is only an academy coach, Thierry Henry's worries about Arsenal have never let go, and he knows that it is not easy to be a manager with a lot of power in the Premier League, so he has been looking for ways to relieve the pressure on his mentor Arsène Wenger.

The game against the Swans in two days must be won, otherwise the team will really be out of the championship ranks. Thinking of this, Thierry Henry's eyes lit up as he looked at Qiansheng who was juggling the ball.

Because Qiansheng has not received professional and systematic training in football skills, Thierry Henry has been giving him a small stove these days, starting from the most basic ABC.

In order to earn a lot of pounds, the dry students also train very seriously, and the boring basic training is a great torture for many people, but for the dry students who are full of pounds, they are happy.

The coaches who accompanied Thierry Henry to open a small stove for Qiansheng, from the initial disapproval to shock to seriousness, they have seen countless young talents, and they began to have more expectations for the team's performance in the remaining schedule.

Of course, the premise is that manager Arsène Wenger can use this season's talent clause to sign the Chinese teenager who has no labor certification and no professional experience.

Qiansheng is worthy of the pressure of his achievements in recent years, and he no longer dares to take such a big risk in the first team with young old professors?

"A 15-year-old Chinese kid who has never been trained in professional football has really made such rapid progress?" Arsène Wenger, who was watching the dry students who were juggling the ball, thought silently, Thierry Henry would personally send the training report to the office every day, and Wenger still knew about the growth of the dry students.

Arsène Wenger turned back to Thierry Henry and said: "Just a training game, the main and the substitutes, in the first half he was on the bench and in the second half he went to the main team. After a pause, he glanced at Qiansheng, whose height had risen to 179 cm, and continued: "As long as he can show strength beyond Alex, I will let him enter the squad in the next league game." ”

The Alex Argentine Wenger is talking about is the Nigerian youngster who has been in the squad regularly this season and has made many substitute appearances, Alex Iwobi.

Thierry Henry smiled slightly, looked at the professor's gaze with a bright eye, and said confidently: "Boss, why don't we make a bet, if he can break into Peter's door in the first half, I will enter the coach's seat for the rest of the game." ”

Arsène Wenger's eyes shrank, looked thoughtfully at the confident face of his lover, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and he turned to leave after dropping a word.

"Good!"

At the behest of Arsène Wenger, the Arsenal first team began a closed internal training match, with the side wearing the red training vest being the main squad and the yellow training vest being the substitute. Wenger even said that although this training match is divided into the main force and the substitute, if the substitute performs well and the main force does not perform well, the substitute may replace the main player in the next game.

When the substitutes found out, they screamed, and they couldn't wait for the game to start immediately, overwhelming the main team with their outstanding performances, in order to get the main identity of the next game.

Arsène Wenger went to the side of the main force and called on Peter Cech, Laurence Koscielny, Gabriel Paulista, Nacho Monreal, Victor Bellerin, Francis Coquelin and Aaron Ramsey to say a few words to them.

The expressions of these people were basically synchronized, first stunned, and then looked back at Qiansheng, who was wearing a yellow training vest, moving his body, and his face was calm.

Thierry Henry told him that he was going to start training and that if he did well, he would sign an apprenticeship contract and then be in the squad two days later.

Although Qiansheng was conducting basic soccer training during this time, and made up for the rules of football games and instilled simple skills and tactics, he still had a caring attitude towards the football world. For him, playing football is the same as doing coolies, it is all manual work, but the income from playing football will be higher.

Thierry Henry, who knew everything about Qiansheng's money, suddenly said in his ear: "If you score in a game, a ball is £100." ”

Sure enough, it was still a touching fortune, Qiansheng's eyes lit up, the golden light flashed, and he immediately moved his body full of energy, and while moving, he looked at the goal opposite, not knowing what he was thinking.

For strikers, it is important for them to study the opponent's defenders before the game. In an era where modern football is becoming more and more data-driven, understanding the opposing players will allow them to make choices on the pitch that will do more with less.

The first-team substitutes train with the main team all year round, so they basically know the opponent's playing habits and style, so in principle, the new players will tell the style and habits of their teammates.

But Arsène Wenger threw away the pie and made the substitutes selfish, and in order to get into the squad for the next league season, it is natural to beat these main players and strive for good performances. In line with the psychology of the dead friends not dying in the poor way, none of the teammates explained the situation of the main force to the cadres.

The substitute side is obviously going to use personal performance to gamble on the main identity of the next game. Looking at Qiansheng standing alone at the tee point, Thierry touched his bald head and looked helplessly at the main side.

The main force wearing the red vest also stood up, and the main lineup was as follows:

Goalkeeper Peter Cech, right-back Victor Bellerin, right centre-back Gabriel Paulista, left centre-back Lawrence Koscielny, midfielder Francis Coquelin, midfielder Aaron Ramsey, right winger Theo Walcott, midfielder Mesut Ozil, left winger Alexis Sanchez thigh, central striker Oliver Giroud.

This is not the main lineup of the last game, Theo Walcott, who originally played as a center forward, went to the winger position, and the center forward went to the French, it seems that as long as nothing else, this lineup will be the main lineup for the next league game.

The substitute in the yellow vest has the following lineup:

Goalkeeper David Ospina, right-back is veteran Mathieu Flamini, right center-back is German Gotaper Mertesacker, left center-back is Calum Chambers, left-back is Kieran Gibbs, the back is Egyptian Mohamed Elneny, who was bought during the winter break this season, next to Alex Chamberlain, the right winger is Joel Campbell, the forward is Alex Iwobi, the left winger is Danny Welbeck, and the center is Qiansheng.

Thierry Henry looked at Qiansheng with an expressionless face and stepping on the ball with his right foot, and said in his heart: "Dry, go on, go show your talent!" The world will be amazed by your talent. ”

In the crowd of onlookers, Chris Wellock, Jeff Adelaide, and Ben Schiff were all engrossed, clenched their fists, and their eyes were all fixed on this Chinese teenager. They want to know what special skills this Arsenal legend and Gunners king Thierry Henry is very valued for, and who is younger than them.

The substitute kicked off first, and after a coach acting as a referee blew the whistle, Qiansheng, who was stepping on the ball, suddenly stretched out his right index finger and pointed to the door in front of him, and shouted in Chinese: "For the pound, rush!" ”

The crowd erupted in laughter, with Thierry Henry covering his face and Arsène Wenger with black lines on his head.

The players on both sides of the field were stunned, and before they could quickly regain their minds, Qiansheng kicked back to Mohamed Elneny, and then ran to the front court.

Years later, the Egyptian proudly told his friends that the first pass of his career, the greatest No. 9 in the history of football, was passed to him in the first game. And in that unique team training game, the impression left by Qiansheng will never be forgotten by all the people present for the rest of their lives.
