Chapter 243: An Open Letter from the Fans and a New Environment

Just when Li Zihan was making physical improvements under the scientific management of the coaching staff and nutritionists, he received an open letter written to him by an Italian fan.

And along with the letter there was a video, which was posted online, and he received the letter.

"It's the most brilliant summer of the year again, and it's the season of love. The beautiful Valleosta Valley welcomes Juventus as in previous years, this is your first time in this beautiful place, I want to show you the charm of the valley here, with such excitement I am waiting for you at the gate of the Juventus training camp in Valleosta. ”

"The black Juventus bus drove slowly, and I tried to find you among the players who came out of the bus, Vidal, Pogba, and Pirlo got off the bus one after another, but there was no you. It wasn't until everyone came down and the bus left that I couldn't see your shy smiling face, and then they told me that you had gone to England. ”

"It made me suddenly a little dazed, I remember a year ago, when everyone was waiting for the summit to come, you came from China to Juventus without a word. There was no attention, no cheers, and even the report drew a lot of scolding from the fans. For Asians, especially Chinese, they are always so harsh and picky. Even if you have two goals and an assist on your debut to get the season off to a good start, even if you step up when Juventus are weak in attack, even if you raise the banner of a big club with your thin body, even if you don't win their cheers with your hard work and hard work on the pitch. ”

"But from the moment you put on the zebra jersey, I was convinced that you would prove yourself. Sure enough, you shut their mouths, and you made them cheer for you and sing for you. ”

"One afternoon in early autumn, I wanted to go to Vinovo to ask for your autograph because of the late school day. By the time I arrived at the Vinovo base on the outskirts, the other players had already left in their luxury cars, the setting sun was reddening the distant sky, and the night was blowing with the cold wind of the Alps. In the twilight light, I heard the dull sound of the ball hitting the post and the panting breath from Vinovo, a wall away. The security guard at the door told me that you and Jia Kai were still practicing. It surprised me because it was already seven or eight o'clock in the evening and the other players were ready to go clubbing. Jakai has always been so hardworking, which is also the secret of Weishenme's ability to gain a foothold from a Serie C team all the way to a Serie A giant. But your talent allows you to avoid such hard work. ”

'It's an era of rich and handsome, but you've impressed Antonio Conte, Andrea Pirlo, Vidal, Paul Pogba and other first-team team-mates with your hard work and great talent. Your efforts have brought us back a Serie A title, which may not be remarkable in the number of 31 league titles in Juventus' history, but this title is the result of your sweat and blood. You've had your best professional debut season here, with a love for football and a desire to win under your shy smile. ”

"You never admit defeat, even if you are covered in sweat; You never give up, even when the blood stains the robe; You never stop running, whether it makes sense or not. You are you, different you. ”

"The skies of England are perhaps bluer than the Mediterranean, good luck, xiexie you, Lee. You've also made us so reluctant this summer. ”

After Li Zihan watched the letter and the accompanying video, he was silent for a long time, and only a sigh was left for a long time.

Li Zihan took out a Arsenal shirt for the new season from his suitcase, signed his name and wrote a greeting message to the supportive fan.

And the click-through rate of this video on the Internet exceeded seven figures in just three days, and netizens sighed, why are you so sensational, this fan.

In any case, Li Zihan is now a player under Arsenal.

After passing the physical examination, Arsenal held a franchise press conference for Li Zihan. A slightly briefer Q&A session was held in the press conference room at the Emirates Stadium, and then Arsene Wenger smiled and took a photo with Li Zihan holding the Arsenal shirt in front of the cameras. Zuihou was on the pitch in front of nearly 10,000 Arsenal fans. Li Zihan showed off his skills, which drew cheers from the fans.

Gunners fans don't care where Li Zihan is from, what skin color he is, and how old he is. What they care about is whether Li Zihan can afford the 20 million spent by the club, of course, in the eyes of fans, the club can come up with money to bring in players, especially spending tens of millions. This shows that the club is slowly changing and considering starting to invest. Instead of the previous seven years left the six captains

Because when Li Zihan joined Arsenal, Arsenal's summer training camp, commercial matches and friendly matches were all over. He only has about a week to settle into this new environment, and the first round of the season kicks off next Sunday. Although Li Zihan didn't know if he would be able to play in the first game, it didn't affect his desire to play.

As the captain of Arsenal, Vermaelen and Arteta were not arranged by Wenger to bring Li Zihan, but the professor unexpectedly arranged for 32-year-old Czech veteran Thomas Rosicky to be Li Zihan's "guide".

Li Zihan, who has just arrived, feels that the atmosphere in the team at Arsenal is different from that of Juventus, although everyone is very harmonious. But he didn't seem to be very interested in this newcomer, especially Walcourt and Wilshere.

Li Zihan was surprised, as if his position did not conflict with Walcott and Wilshere. Why don't they seem to welcome their own meaning?

As for the Danish high school forward Bendtner, who gave him no good eyes as soon as Li Zihan came, Li Zihan directly ignored it. Li Zihan certainly knew that Bendtner Weishenme didn't like him, because the two of them were one of the rivals. And during the winter break last season, Bendtner had a brief loan spell at Juventus, but due to the outbreak of Li Zihan. Bendtner hasn't played a game for Juventus in half a season and is just as sad as Anelka.

Anelka seems to have joined West Bromwich Albion in the Premier League at this time, and Bendtner has also returned to Arsenal. It's just that Bendtner is out of form right now, and Arsenal are rumoured to want to sell him for cash.

Now with Li Zihan as a striker and goalscorer, and a French striker Giroud who is an active runner, and the German is known as Prince Porti, Podolski can also play in this position. So Bendtner is becoming less and less important, which is why Weishenme Bendtner didn't give him a good face when he saw Li Zihan.

He didn't care about Bendtner's attitude, anyway, professional football depends on strength. If you have strength and condition, you will have status and playing time, and if you don't have the ability, you can only go to other small teams.

However, the attitude of Walcott and Wilshere and others Li Zihan is more concerned, because if Li Zihan wants to gain a foothold in the team, he must also have a good relationship with them, and he also needs their cooperation more on the court.

Looking at the attitude of the other players in the team, Li Zihan began to miss Juventus a little. At least at Juventus, his teammates have been very good at him, especially Vidal, Pogba, Pirlo and even one of the attacking rivals, Vucinic.

Of course, Juventus' three-five-two formation uses two strikers, while Arsene Wenger's Arsenal are accustomed to a single arrow. Now the mainstream style of play of many teams is a single striker, only the traditional four-four-two parallel position, and the prevailing three-five-two in Serie A still retains the configuration of two centers.

The experienced Rosicky certainly felt the strange atmosphere in the team, and looked at Li Zihan a little emotionally. The veteran Czech said in English: "Lee, don't take it to heart. It's not that they have any opinion or hostility towards you. How do you say this, and what is that sentence called? Oh yes, 'young and vigorous'. ”

"As the most expensive of the young players in the squad, they may have a bit of a misunderstanding about you. Because they didn't know you very well before, and they didn't pay much attention to Serie A games. So they think that you may not be worth the transfer fee, and as a newcomer you have a transfer fee that is quite a bit higher than theirs. ”

Rosicky said to Nunu, who was laughing and laughing not far away: "Well, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, when he first came from Southampton, it was about fifteen million euros. However, at that time he was only sixteen years old, and the price was already sky-high. Aaron Ramsey only had about €5.55 million when he moved from Cardiff at the age of 17, while Theo Walcott had about €12 million from Southampton at the age of 18. ”

"But you're all young people, when you get acquainted with it. If you work together more on the pitch and you show at Arsenal what you are worth, they'll be fine. Young people are like this, and they are angry that they are not convinced by anyone. When you're familiar with it, you'll be able to mingle. ”

Li Zihan suddenly understood in his heart, it turned out to be "envy, jealousy and hatred". But think about it, who of these young people in Arsenal is not famous at a young age, and who is not highly talented. It's true that no one convinces each other much, maybe it's much better to be friends after a long time. But for Li Zihan, a newcomer, maybe they don't have any hostility, but they are sure if they are not convinced.

And they are not self-cooked, so they did not take the initiative to communicate and understand Li Zihan. Most of the players in their squad came from the Arsenal academy, and even the young players they bought came through Arsenal's youth team, so they are more talkative. And Li Zihan is just an outsider in their eyes
