Chapter 219: Waiting to Go
Seeing Ivanka like a little woman bidding farewell to her husband, with a faint smile on her face, Emma looked at her a little speechlessly, "Ivanka, are you going to do this?" β
The tone was full of incomprehension.
"Hehe, Emma, aren't you caring about him too?"
Ivanka did not answer her words, but smiled and reversed.
Emma saw Ivanka avoiding the truth and feeling a little powerless. As for her question, Emma made a definite remark, "That guy, the person is still good." β
Feeling that it was still not enough, Emma added, "We're already friends, but I think he's a jerk." β
After saying that, I didn't have to ask Ivanka any more thoughts, and went to look through my book. I felt a little blind in my heart.
Emma is a smart person, and she knows what Ivanka means by asking, not that she doubts that she has something to do with that guy, it's just that she doesn't want to answer and deliberately diverts the topic.
"Alright, Emma, think about where we're going these days."
Ivanka knew that Emma was a little dissatisfied with her avoidance of reality, so she hurriedly came over and took her hand and deliberately found a topic.
"Well, do you have time?" Emma closed the book and looked at Ivanka, a little moved.
Indeed, in the past six months or so, I haven't had a good rest because of the show, and I finally took a vacation, but because it was the finale of Harry, reporters in Hollywood, USA, drilled the inside story all day long.
Helplessly, Emma could only sneak back to the UK, and in about half a month, the crew started again, and next, she was busy with a series of things to further her education.
Emma wanted to have a vacation and make herself relaxed, and Ivanka's advice really tickled her heart.
After glancing at Ivanka, Emma immediately expressed her distrust of Xiang Hao, "That guy won't make trouble again, when the time comes, Ivanka, you won't have to pull me back and help him deal with it." β
"Don't worry, that scoundrel said I was his personal assistant, but personal assistants also have holidays. Let's go, let's plan the route first, where to go next. β
Ivanka smiled and shook her head, she really wanted to give herself a vacation to avoid the last wave of attention from that kiss.
Although Xiang Hao directly asked Portry to deal with Mike's affairs, Ivanka still knew something.
Knowing that those reporters may still be tracking Xiang Hao, in order to avoid trouble, Ivanka feels that it is better to leave for a while.
Otherwise, sooner or later, his existence will be dug up by reporters, and with his own identity, he is destined to be in turmoil and not be at peace.
As for what Emma said, Ivanka is not worried, with Ivanka's understanding of Xiang Hao, Arsenal's current results are so bad, and he definitely has no mind to make any more trouble.
He wants to play all day and get back the points that Arsenal are behind. So Ivanka was relieved to go out for a walk.
Just as Ivanka thought, Xiang Hao threw himself away from Ivanka to travel to Europe, and in addition to complaining at first, he quickly got used to it.
His mind is really on the Arsenal club, on the training ground.
"Hey, Andrey, do you want to come, this is the third time you've been robbed by me."
Stepping on the ball with his left foot, Xiang Hao playfully looked at the little Russian man with a little baby face not far away.
Although Arshavin was not tall, he had the character of a Slavic people, arrogant and straightforward.
It's only been two days since he came, and he has already 'bullied' the people in the team, big and small, and conquered his new teammates.
Of course, here in Xiang Hao, he is destined to suffer, four times one-on-one, although at the beginning, Xiang Hao was not familiar with his actions and was passed by him, and the later ones were Xiang Hao three times in a row.
"No, they're right, Hao, you monster, I'll compare with you when I know your movements."
Arshavin waved his hand, glanced at Xiang Hao curiously, and shook his head and said unconvinced.
This is Arshavin's character, a casual and naΓ―ve temperament, not an aggressive character, but more emotional.
This kind of player, once he is comfortable with the ball, he can kick out any ball, but if he feels bored, then all his talent is like flowing water and no longer exists. And there is a kind of naΓ―ve literati-like uninhibitedness, and it is not easy to control yourself.
But now in the new Arsenal, Arshavin still has a lot of interest, and it is also the time for 'ambition' and desire to make achievements.
In training, he showed his own form, and with his performance, the Arsenal team accepted him in the shortest possible time.
"In the past few days, Andre has performed well, and the players have accepted him quickly." Rice came to his old partner and said appreciatively.
"Hmm."
Arsene Wenger nodded, looked at Arshavin and said: "He's a new talent, playing with his spirituality, and in that respect, he's more of a South American.
If he plays well, he's going to be a whole new attacking model for us, and when Sesk isn't there, the energy up front, he can pick us up. β
Clearly, Arsene Wenger has a high opinion of Arshavin and high expectations.
This winter, Arsene Wenger not only made an exception to welcome back the veteran, but also made an exception to bring in a real star, the star of the playing year. For this reason, he also relaxed the restrictions on spending money on his side, and tried to persuade the board of directors many times.
Rice naturally heard his old partner's expectations of Arshavin, and said: "Then, Arthur, the game in north London, the cooperation between him and Robin is okay. β
Looking at Arsene Wenger, it is self-evident that he is asking him about his starting role in tomorrow's game.
"No, wait a little longer, everyone is watching him, we should be careful."
Wenger still rejected Uncle Rice's suggestion, 'okay', not even up to the 'good' suggestion, Wenger naturally will not be satisfied.
Although Arshavin showed good technical ability, in terms of coordination, Wenger naturally saw that he was not yet able to synchronize with the whole team.
In tomorrow's game, there is no way back, Arsenal must win, so Wenger prefers to send a good lineup.
"Well, it's okay, maybe let Andre act as a surprise soldier now, there will be a good result."
Uncle Rice took a closer look and understood Wenger's intentions, nodded in agreement, and also said one of the benefits of having Arshavin as a substitute.
"That's what I thought, too."
Wenger glanced at his old partner knowingly, and then asked, "How is Saul doing these days?" β
Arshavin, Arsene Wenger is not inclined to start him, but Campbell, Wenger wants him to play.
Quite simply, because Campbell is the former captain of Tottenham Hotspur and arguably Tottenham's biggest traitor, such an identity is quite an incentive for a veteran.
Especially in the first game of his return, with Wenger's understanding of his disciple, he will definitely work harder, so there is no reason why Wenger will not use him.
"Well, yes, he and Chloe still have a tacit understanding, and he arrived earlier than Andre, so there won't be any big problems with cooperation."
Rice understood what he meant and nodded, agreeing with Wenger's thoughts.
"That's good, let's see if the others are fine-tuned now."
Arsene Wenger nodded in satisfaction, basically the situation of the two new signings has been finalized, and all that remains is to discuss the others.
However, the starters are basically fixed, so there is nothing to discuss specifically, just to see how the players are in state before the game, and if there is a bottom, it is almost done.
At A.T. Kearney's training base, Arsenal are preparing for tomorrow's north London derby against Tottenham.
On the side of White Hart Lane, Tottenham Hotspur is also waiting for it.
This season, Tottenham and Arsenal have played each other three times, with one draw and two defeats, and have yet to win against Arsenal. Especially in the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup, as the defending champions, they were eliminated by Arsenal.
Tottenham, from the fans to the players, from the hierarchy to the coaches, are holding their breath and waiting to breathe a good sigh of relief in the final north London derby of the season.
"Click, click, click"
"Harry, Arsenal haven't been in good form lately, do you have any confidence for tomorrow night's game against Arsenal?"
'Arsene Wenger said they can't miss another three points in the league, do you think he can do that?'
"What do you think of Arsenal's winter signings? Will Arshavin cause problems for your team? β
"Your former captain Saul Campbell is back at White Hart Lane tomorrow as an Arsenal player, what do you think he will do?"
β¦
When Redknapp appeared at the pre-game press conference, reporters were all asking sharp questions and putting up enough postures to sow discord.
'For tomorrow's game, I think it's going to be a chance for us to close the gap with Arsenal and we aim to finish in the top four against Arsenal.'
'The fact that Everton can do it, we can do it too, we will perform better than Everton, and Arsene Wenger wants to get the three points, I believe, at least not for tomorrow's game.'
"Arshavin, I have to say, Arsenal made a good deal. I've seen him at the Euros, and there's no doubt that he was one of the sharpest attackers in that tournament.
Arsenal paid Β£12 million β the first ever price to buy him, and I think it's going to be a great investment. It's been a long time since Arsenal have made such an investment and we know all the players at Arsenal. β
'The problem with Saul, last season he was my absolute leader at Portsmouth. I'm not surprised that he's back at Arsenal because I know he's really in good form.
But it's not easy to reintegrate into Arsenal and I coached him last season so I know there's something I can use and I'm going to use it. β
Mu Ne's fat face, but Lao Lei's speech was not polite at all, and he looked quite confident, even aggressive.
No way, Tottenham are in much better form than their neighbours, with three consecutive league wins, and only waiting for Arsenal to come to the door to be beaten.
