Chapter 04: Xiao Qing's self-confidence
The Premier League, which claims to be the most crowded of the five major leagues, will start their new season on August 15, 2009. At this time, Xiao Qing has now completely begun to devote himself to the preparation of the new season, first putting aside some of his own preparations, and the gathering of the Arsenal team is about to begin.
Xiao Qing is sure that he has made all the preparations, and he also believes that Arsenal will also start to prepare for the new season at this time; Although the current Arsenal has basically announced that it has completely completed its work in the transfer market, although it is almost impossible for the current Arsenal to make any more large-scale reinforcements, but just looking at the current squad, Arsenal is really good. The transfer is almost complete, which also allows them to prepare for the new season.
The goalkeeper positions were No. 1 Almunia, No. 21 Fabianski and No. 24 Manoni.
On the back line, No. 3 Sagna, No. 5 Vermaelen, No. 6 Senderos, No. 10 Gallas, No. 18 Sylvester, No. 20 Djourou, No. 22 Klich, No. 27 Eboue, No. 28 Gibbs,
Midfielders No. 4 Cesc Fabregas, No. 7 Rosicky, No. 8 Nasri, No. 14 Walcott, No. 15 Denilson, No. 16 Ramsey, No. 17 Alexander. Song, No. 19 Wilshere, No. 23 Arshavin, No. 30 Traore
Forward No. 9. Silva, No. 11 Van Persie, No. 12 Bella, No. 52 Bendtner, No. 99 Xiao Qing.
Arsenal look strong, and although they also have 32-year-old veteran Silvestre in the squad, he is more of a dressing room leader than at Arsenal. It's more about the young players.
Xiao Qing can be said to be infinitely satisfied with the current team's lineup. Because they were able to field quite competitive starters. And they also have quite a lot of good players on the bench, so even if it is a multi-front battle, I believe that Arsenal will not be overstretched, which may be the confidence of the giants!
Xiao Qing chose the No. 99 jersey very low-key, although when Xiao Qing transferred to Arsenal, he already had a big . Silva took the initiative to hand over the No. 9 jersey, which symbolizes the main striker, to Xiao Qing, but Xiao Qing was not very interested. Silva's respect.
Although up to. Silva may not be able to start at a top club like Arsenal, but he's a really good player. And in February of this year, in the match between Arsenal and Birmingham, Taylor was seriously fouled by the opposing player Taylor and broke his leg. Silva needs to recuperate for at least nearly a year, so Xiao Qing will not choose to get this shirt, not only because he is not too passionate about this number, but also because he is not interested in Da. Silva's respect. Although Xiao Qing has not suffered too many injuries since he played football, Xiao Qing, as a professional player, understands that injuries are actually the biggest enemy of athletes.
A.T. Kearney Training GroundArsenal's newest training base. It is built in the lush county of Hertfordshire, just a forty-five minute drive from the Emirates Stadium. It is also known as the most haode training ground in the UK. Xiao Qing is now at this famous training base, because Arsenal are starting to assemble. They need to start working hard for the new season.
"Shaw, you're very good, and although I can understand that this may not be your most haode, I'm glad that your physical metrics prove that you're still trying to maintain your form in the offseason." Xiao Qing, who passed the physical examination, was very happy, and Wenger was very satisfied with the physical examination report in his hand, because Xiao Qing can be said to be the most beautiful player in the current Arsenal team.
"Yes, sir, I want to achieve higher honors, so I am very strict with my form. Maybe it's because I've relaxed a little bit during this long off-season, but trust me, after a period of intensive training, I was able to quickly adjust my physical condition to the best I could be, and I was ready for it. Although the current communication still needs to rely more on translation, Xiao Qing is still very cheerful and takes the initiative to communicate with the coaches and players of the team, he is originally a cheerful person, and as a newcomer, he must take the initiative.
"Keep up that momentum and you'll achieve more." Wenger is very satisfied with Xiao Qing's strict requirements for himself, he has seen too many talented young players, of course, although some of these players have achieved good results, but a considerable number of them have disappeared quickly; Therefore, Arsene Wenger has always believed that only players who are strict with themselves can achieve more, and every great player is not only talented enough, but also hard work is quite a key factor.
Now Xiao Qing seems to have all the conditions to become a great player, he is very talented, he still looks relatively young and has potential to be tapped; And Xiao Qing's strength is quite good now, but he is not satisfied, he is still pursuing progress. Now Xiao Qing is standing on a big enough stage, so Wenger has reason to believe that Xiao Qing will get better and better.
Talking and laughing, I quickly came to the training ground, where Arsenal players have been gathered, although there are also a few new players, but more are Arsenal's old players, of course, this does not refer to the age of Arsenal's players, but the qualifications of these players are absolutely sufficient, even if Arsenal has always been a well-known young team.
"Hello everyone, I'm Xiao Qing and I'm from China. It's a pleasure to meet you and I hope to be able to create a great season with you in the new season. Xiao Qing's self-introduction does not need the help of a translator, firstly, these are indeed relatively simple, although the English that has been specially trained for a period of time may not be able to communicate very haode, but such a simple conversation can still be handled, of course, secondly, because this self-introduction will make him more haode and his teammates to establish some contact.
"Welcome to Arsenal, I'm Francisco. Cesc Fabregas. "Arsenal's captain Cesc Fabregas took the initiative to step up, which is also a captain's performance; Last season, former Arsenal captain Garra was removed from his position as captain for distorting the manager. Cesc Fabregas is the most vocal successor, and although he was born in the Barcelona academy, his growth has been full of Wenger's hard work. Cesc Fabregas arrived in London in 2003 at the age of 16, and five years later, the hairy boy is already at the heart of the Gunners' midfield, holding the record for the youngest appearance in the Premier League and Arsenal's best now. Wenger's fifth captain in his thirteen years at the Arsenal, the Spanish youngster was entrusted with the responsibility and ended the six-year era of Henry, Vieira and Gala as "captain of France".
"It's nice to meet you, you were fantastic last season." Xiao Qing smiled and shook hands with Fabregas and hit his chest, Xiao Qing thought about it, it seems that there can only be some simple and direct communication like this now, and as for the rest, it seems that he can't leave the translator.
'We've all seen what you did at Hoffenheim and it was a great performance. We were really happy when we knew you were going to be at Arsenal and I think we'll improve a lot and we're confident that you'll be able to help the team win more.' Through translation, Xiao Qing also received Xiaofa's praise.
Although Xiao Qing was communicating briefly with Fabregas, he was also observing the performance of other teammates; Although Xiao Qing's huge success at Hoffenheim last season has made him a little famous now, and even in the Arsenal team, his reputation is definitely one of the best. But in a team, fame and strength do not mean the most status, and the dressing room culture in a football club is quite well-known; Players from one country, players from one academy, players from the same continent are a lot of different groups here, and there are some players who will be excluded.
Although Xiao Qing is famous, he has only just arrived at Arsenal after all, and it is difficult for him to communicate more with other players because of the language barrier; As for being more enthusiastic about Xiao Qing, maybe it's just because of Cesc Fabregas, who is the captain, after all, the other players are still very new to Xiao Qing, and they still need some time to get to know Xiao Qing.
Although as a professional player, he is used to coming and going, and although most of the Arsenal players are indifferent to Xiao Qing's arrival, or they are more kind to welcome, they have to admit that at this time, there are also a few indifferent to Xiao Qing's arrival, and even a little bit of hostility.
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, this is an obvious thing; Xiao Qing had great success last season, he won the Bundesliga Golden Boot and the European Golden Boot, and now he came to Arsenal at a record price in Arsenal team history, so it is obvious that Xiao Qing is here to grab the main force and the core. Although Arsenal is more fond of attacking football, Xiao Qing's arrival has basically locked in a main position, which naturally makes other strikers feel the pressure.
For those players who are more kind, Xiao Qing smiled and chatted briefly, and he believed that as everyone slowly became familiar with him, he would definitely be able to get along and communicate with his teammates better.
As for those who have prejudices and hostility towards themselves, I'm sorry, he Xiao Qing came here to play football, and making friends is obviously not the main thing; And Xiao Qing is not worried at all, because he believes that he can subdue those guys, and he will use his performance on the court to make those guys not have the idea of resisting, he has this confidence!
