England is the birthplace of modern football, almost all citizens in the country are fans, and in the British Isles, London can be described as one of the most fanatical football cities.

There are more than a dozen professional teams in London alone, including Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, West Ham United, Charlton Athletic, Fulham, not to mention amateur teams.

Playing a Champions League semi-final in such a city with such a strong football atmosphere, even if it is not a giant like Real Madrid and Barcelona, has caused a great sensation.

Purple Lily Fiorentina, once the seven sisters of Serie A, is now a super dark horse that has taken off from C2, they do not have the appeal of the giants, nor do they have as many fans as the giants, but the story of the ugly duckling turning into a white swan is still very able to attract the attention of fans, and some British fans who did not pay so much attention to the Florence game also want to see what kind of magic this team is.

Watching the game is almost impossible for the average football fan, although Arsenal is a Premier League giant, but Arsenal's home Highbury Stadium is a bit unworthy of the identity of the Arsenal giant.

Highbury Stadium can only accommodate 38,000 fans, compared to Barcelona's Camp Nou 100,000 people, Old Trafford stadium more than 70,000 people, Highbury is too small, seriously affected Arsenal's home atmosphere and income, Arsenal club has long recognized this, but suffering from no money to renovate, two years ago under the sponsorship of Arab tycoons, a new stadium named the Emirates has been built, but now Arsenal is not yet able to play in the new stadium, the new stadium will not be officially opened until at least the end of June.

Because it is difficult to have the opportunity to watch the game live, many fans have set their sights on the two days of training, hoping to see with their own eyes what this big dark horse that has just rushed from the amateur team to the semifinals of the Champions League is like.

Fiorentina this season in the world of football has caused such a big impact, in addition to their magical record, having a very eye-catching star is also an extremely important reason, in Florence, the most popular and powerful star is undoubtedly Chen Yu, Toni because he only transferred to Fiorentina last year, even if he is an Italian player, the popularity is still far from Chen Yu, Chen Yu can be selected into the top ten of the world football man and European footballer is enough to explain the problem.

Chinese football results have always been a wonder, Sun Hai, who played the main substitute in the five major leagues, is the best performer, a Chinese player can have such a rebellious performance, whether in China or in Europe, it is definitely the focus of news, not to mention that the Chinese circle regards Chen Yu as a hero, that is, European fans also think that Chen Yu is a model of personal struggle, and now Chen Yu led the team to London, which is more sensational for the Chinese in the UK than the Chinese brother came.

Based on historical reasons, there are many Chinese in the UK, and the relationship between the Chinese and the locals in the UK is also very delicate, which makes the Chinese mentality both proud and inferior, so they need the appearance of superheroes more to meet their psychological needs, before Chen Yu appeared, Sun Hai was a hero in the hearts of the Chinese, but from ability to popularity to status in the team, Sun Hai could not support the title of hero, and could not meet the psychological needs of the Chinese.

Later, with the comet-like rise of Chen Yu, overseas Chinese finally found a YY object, and now Chen Yu led the team to the Champions League semifinals, to come to London to challenge Arsenal, which has caused a sensation in the Chinese circle of the British Isles early, in the past week, the Chinese are the most active, both fans and non-fans, during this time are talking about Chen Yu.

London is one of the world's financial centers, and the City of London is home to top talent from all over the world.

High-end professional wear, top-brand briefcases, access to high-end clubs, etc., all show the high income of these senior white-collar workers or gold-collar workers. However, the high salary of financial practitioners may seem very glamorous to outsiders, but for industry insiders, it means high pressure, high sense of responsibility and heavy work, and in addition to the main work in the office, financial practitioners must participate in a large number of business activities and social entertainment in order to win in the extremely fierce competition, which are a necessary business means to expand personal relationships. Not only is it very draining, but it is also very expensive.

Linfee, an employee of a Swiss investment bank in the City of London, has been engaged in mergers and acquisitions for five years, in the past five years, she has changed from a rookie who has been criticized and squeezed by company executives to a senior white-collar worker, but although her income has increased, but the time has become less and less, after work today, she was about to go home, and suddenly heard someone behind her calling her.

"Linfee, do you have a party at night?"

The person who spoke was the vice president of the investment bank, John, an Englishman, because he was good at stock and futures investment, and he was very tall, and was nicknamed John Bull by the Chinese of the company, John Bull recently divorced his wife, and is now pursuing the same single Linfee.

"Not today, I'm tired and want to go back and rest." Linfee said lightly that John had helped him a lot when she first arrived, and she was very grateful to her and admired John's ability to work, but she didn't have the idea of living with John yet. "Let's go see the ball game, right? I have a friend who bought a ticket and didn't have time to look at it, so he happened to have an extra ticket. John said enthusiastically.

"Golf?"

"No, it's football, the semi-final between Arsenal and Fiorentina, I know you don't like football, but this game has a Chinese player who was nominated for the Footballer of the Year, and now the whole Chinese community in London is crazy, I think you might want to go and see ......"

"I'm sorry, I'm tired and want to rest at home, John, you should know that I don't dare to be interested in football games, and I don't even watch the World Cup."

John couldn't help but be surprised when he saw Linfee's indifferent look: "You don't know Lu Daoyu Chen, he is the hero of your Chinese football, and he even has the hope of becoming the first person in the world." ”

Linfee wasn't interested in who became the first person in the world, but the name Yu Chen made her heart move, could it be him? No way! No way! At his level, China has not played a professional game, how is it possible!

Although he felt that it was absolutely impossible, Linfee couldn't help but say on his lips: "Are there really such powerful Chinese?" ”

John couldn't impress Linfee, he was very disappointed, but when he saw Linfee say this, he suddenly hoped again, and hurriedly said: "Of course, with my twenty-eight years of football experience, Chen is a genius, and a guy who is even more talented than Ronaldo and Beckham, he can do everything from striker to midfielder to goalkeeper, I believe you will be fascinated by him when you see him." ”

"Hooked on him? No, John, I don't like football, but I want to see what you say, since there is such a big sensation in the Chinese circle, if I don't look at it, I won't be able to talk about football in the future. But in a short moment, Linfee made up his mind to see who this Chinese Chen was, and he was so powerful.

"The game is going to be at 7:45 p.m., Linfee, why don't we go get a cup of coffee first?" John was very happy to see that Linfee actually agreed, and took the opportunity to propose to have coffee together.

"Well, well, it's a long time anyway."

"Great, I'll go drive."

John rushed to the parking lot to drive, he had made an appointment with Linfee many times, this was the first time he had made an appointment so easily, he felt that he was one step closer to catching up with this Chinese beauty.

When John and Linfee went to have coffee, Chen Yu was talking to Sun Hai on the phone at the hotel.

Sun Hai is China's most successful foreign player before Chen Yu's rise, the age difference between the two is not big, but Sun Hai can be called Chen Yu's senior, because they are both playing overseas, the relationship between the two is not bad, this time Chen Yu represented Fiorentina to play in London to play the Champions League, as a Premier League defender, Sun Hai must give his compatriots a trick, let him continue to make history, to the Chinese glory.

“…… Arsenal is the best team in the Premier League, you don't think of them as a British team, to be honest, they are more like a Spanish team or a French team, otherwise you will definitely suffer, they play very fluently, penetration in the middle is their forte, and the quick counterattack is definitely one of the best in the entire Premier League, don't look at them in the Champions League knockout rounds without conceding goals, in fact, their defense is not so solid, as long as you don't let their attack come out, let them play very awkward, In the second half, they had problems at the back, which is what I have experienced with Arsenal in the Premier League......

Sun Hai told Chen Yu about his personal experience very seriously.

"Well, I remembered, Xie Lu Xie Haige." Chen Yu is very grateful, although the coaching staff will definitely study the video of the opponent's game in detail before the war, but what the video shows is different from the actual game, and Sun Hai's experience is a valuable asset for him.

"Don't be so polite, we're fellow countrymen, Chen Yu, you have to be calm, you don't have to win this game, as long as you can score, getting a draw is also a good result, after all, the Gunners are G4 members of Europe, giants." Sun Hai was worried that Chen Yu and Fiorentina would be praised too highly by the media and fans, and overestimated their strength, so he specially reminded him.

Chen Yu smiled: "Don't worry, Brother Hai, I understand my strength, if Tony is here, we may still want to win, now we are very happy as long as we can get a draw." ”

Sun Hai hurriedly said: "It's hard to say about the football game, maybe Arsenal is under too much pressure and plays abnormally, and you win away from home." ”

Chen Yu said with a smile: "Brother Hai, thanks to your auspicious words, if you really win, I will invite you to dinner." ”

Sun Haidao: "Do you want to invite you when you come to the UK?" I ask you, don't leave after the game, I invite you in the evening. ”

Chen Yu smiled: "Okay, then I won't leave, I'll wait to eat you, and I'll invite you when you go to Italy to play." ”

Sun Hai smiled bitterly: "We went to Italy to play, there is no hope in the past few years, it would be good to be relegated." ”

Chen Yu smiled: "The future is not easy to say, just like who would have thought that we reached the semi-finals of the Champions League." ”

Sun Hai smiled: "It's true that no one could have thought of it, I was almost stunned." Okay, it's time for you to pack up and go to the stadium now, don't delay your time, play well, win glory for our Chinese players, and I will cheer you on in the stands. “

Chen Yu nodded and said, "Okay, Xie Lu Xie Haige, let's see you in that arena." “

Chen Yu hung up the phone and began to sort out his jerseys and shoes and other things, he had just packed up, and there was a shout from Prandley calling the players to leave, Chen Yu went out to gather with the players, and got on the bus to Highbury Stadium.
