A.T. Kearney Training Base.

The morning sun shines through the window on the mottled desk.

Arsene Wenger put on his glasses and looked like a university teacher.

He was sketching in his homework book... Correcting Li Kang's homework, this is not the job of the club manager, it is more of a hobby.

The question of when the Arsenal manager wears glasses or not can be debated on dozens of pages in fan community forums around the world.

Boulder handed over the freshly brewed coffee and exclaimed, "Boss, I feel like this season is like a dream... 200 million magic! ”

The Premier League's civil war is getting more and more involved, and the Arsenal coaching staff can't help but wonder if the club didn't make big moves last summer, the club might not be able to complete the task of fighting for the top four this season.

】

Wenger put down his pen and smiled: "It's not the magic of 200 million, it's the magic of Lee." ”

If Arsenal had spent 200 million on bringing in Barcelona's new signings, would they have the results they have today?

No way.

All the great powers of Europe are carrying out the Golden Yuan Revolution.

The average value of players is also getting higher.

Maybe half a year later, in the summer window of 2017, Li Kang's worth of 200 million yuan will be broken continuously.

His thoughts drifted away, he closed his workbook and added, "Yes, this season has been like a dream, I didn't expect it to go so well. ”

How long has it been since Arsenal last won the Premier League?

It's been thirteen years.

Boulder suddenly asked, "Boss, your contract with the club expires this summer?" Why hasn't there been any news of the renewal yet? In an interview last year, you said you couldn't retire so soon. ”

Arsene Wenger did not answer the question.

He took off his glasses and looked out the window at the branches that were sprouting.

...

Boulder walked out of the manager's office.

Bowing his head, he said to himself: "If the head retires early, will Arsenal's share price fall?" ”

How much has Arsene Wenger contributed to Arsenal?

Refer to the most intuitive data:

Twenty-one years ago.

When Arsene Wenger arrived at Highbury, Arsenal's share price was £400, and after two decades of hard work, it has risen to £18,000... There is also an international five-star stadium.

And he himself does not hold any shares in Arsenal.

Didn't take a few steps.

The Arsenal assistant saw the revenue graph on the wall.

I can't help but fall into deep thought:

The club's revenue is getting healthier, the loan to build the stadium will not cause any pressure on the club, Arsenal's recruitment funds will be more and more abundant, no longer have to sell the captain, no longer have to miss out on good players in the transfer market because of millions of euros...

If you can win the Premier League this year and win all the way in the Champions League... The resulting commercial advertising revenue and broadcast revenue would also be a terrifying figure.

Xhaka and Mustafi and the youngsters of the Academy team are enough to support Arsenal's central axis for the next five years.

The boss doesn't really want to retire early, does he?

If he retires, will the new coaching staff be able to tolerate Lee's freedom?

Reality is always more absurd than movies.

Don't talk about Lee.

Messi was also pressed to the bench when Enrique first took over at Barcelona.

The more Boulder thought about it, the more worried he became: "If the leader retires, I will go back to lead the youth team!" ”

Although the bald assistant coach usually looks panicked on the field, he has actually played for Arsenal for a long time as a player and coach

As a player, he won three Premier League titles, an FA Cup and a European Cup Winners' Cup.

As a youth team coach, he led Wilshere, Aaron Ramsey and other youngsters to win multiple Under-18 titles.

...

Li Kang didn't think about these things.

He travelled to Kent in southeastern England with Alvaro Morata, Olivier Giroud, Petr Cech and others to visit a six-year-old orphan with a malignant spinescent tumour.

Arsene Wenger was one of the first managers to spearhead the creation of the club's charity department.

"Charity is part of Arsenal's DNA."

In addition to the charity campaign, Arsenal's charity department also likes to build stadiums in underdeveloped areas...

Business vehicles drive on the highway.

Maguire enthusiastically explained the building outside the car window: "That's Dover Castle!" Harry Potter... No, "Hamlet" was filmed here! ”

"This is still Darwin's hometown, which means that we are the Darwin that evolved from monkeys."

"Dickens also lived here, the author of A Tale of Two Cities."

...

Half an hour later.

The Arsenal crowd is coming to the orphanage.

There are no children holding flowers in their hands and lining up to greet them.

The orphanage is small in size, and children can be seen playing on the turf through the guardrail.

Football rolls around.

At the gate, there was only a hunchbacked old dean on crutches.

"Kids, who's coming?"

"Wow, wow, wow!"

"It's Lee!"

The children dropped their soccer balls and ran up excitedly, smiling faces.

Arsenal generals carry boxes of aid from the trunk.

"Lee, are you here to teach us how to play?"

"I'm going to learn Marseille slalom!"

"Kruyinf turn around!"

"Li, can you sign for our teacher?"

Li Kang was surrounded by groups.

Alvaro Morata carried a stack of jerseys and a pens.

Xhaka was holding several footballs.

Welbeck bent down and transformed into a "black humanoid tabletop".

Li Kang smiled, picked up the pen and began to sign autographs for the children.

Maguire couldn't help but sigh: "These little guys are so much cuter than the fans in the Inslington community. ”

...

Not far away.

A bald little boy in an Arsenal shirt walked "slowly".

Strange walking posture.

Just ten meters away... It's struggling.

Cech tried to help him, but was stopped by the dean.

"Let the kid go on his own."

"His name is Tom, he is 8 years old, he has a malignant spinese tumor, and he is learning to walk again after treatment."

"I also develop intellectually later than children of the same age."

Petr Cech asked tentatively: "I heard that the situation is very optimistic..."

The dean smiled bitterly and shook his head.

...

Ten minutes later.

When Li Kang signed more than a dozen children, the little bald Tom finally walked in front of everyone.

"Lee!"

"Cech!"

"Xhaka!"

“...”

He was so excited that he called out the name of every Arsenal star, and then took the initiative to lift the hem of his shirt.

The crowd laughed.

Immediately grabbed the pen and took turns signing the old yellowed Arsenal shirt.

Li Kang subconsciously sniffled, and he smelled a "unique smell of the hospital" on Tom.

The other party looked at his facial features curiously, and suddenly asked:

"Lee, will Arsenal win the Premier League?"

Li Kang nodded without thinking.

"What about the Champions League winners?"

Champions League winners?

Li Kang hesitated for two seconds... Smiled and nodded.

Tom, the little bald man, was stunned, and then raised his fists excitedly:

“e on you gunners！

！ ”

...

Alvaro Morata has a wealth of experience in philanthropic activities.

He quickly got along with the kids and acted as the head coach.

The pace of the game was slow and slow.

Everyone was working with Tom's pace, as if it were a movie being slowed down, until he found the back of the net and then it was back to its normal frame rate.

Cech feigned frustration and reluctantly thrashed the turf.

Tom raised his fists high again.

All the Arsenal stars were mimicking his celebrations.

Maguire touched his buttocks and sighed: "It turns out that happiness is such a simple thing. ”
