Football: Shine in the AFC Champions League and sign with Arsenal on the spot

On July 2, just one day after the opening of the European summer transfer window, Chinese fans were boiling over a piece of news.

Gangnam player Baal has joined Ligue 1 FC Lyon on a four-year contract.

"Congratulations! Both of us brothers are finally in Europe!

Chen Fan said excitedly to Baal on the phone, and he was happy for his friend from the bottom of his heart.

"Haha, I hope we can meet in the Champions League, and don't be easily defeated by me when the time comes!"

Baal was very satisfied with his first stop in the ocean and teased Chen Fan.

And Baal is right, Lyon finished third in Ligue 1 last season and qualified for the Champions League play-offs.

If Lyon make it through to the group stage and Baal is named in the squad, there is a real chance that the two will meet in the Champions League.

After hearing Baal's words, Chen Fan suddenly felt a little familiar, and thought about it.

Isn't that what Akito said?!

On July 12, Chen Fan and the others flew back to Hangzhou from Beijing.

Coincidentally, on this day, the Arsenal team also informed the players to return to the Kearney training base on July 18.

In other words, there are five days left in Chen Fan's leisure days.

In these five days, Chen Fan watched a game of the Jiangnan team that no longer had Baal.

After Chen Fan left, the departure of another general, Baal, made the Jiangnan team feel unwell for a while, and unfortunately lost to the Shuntian team.

Seeing this scene, Chen Fan can only hope that the young people in the parent team can take the lead as soon as possible.

......

On July 18, 2012, Chen Fan and his wife returned to North London, England again.

After the two took a taxi to Islington's home, Li Shuxin went into the house to clean up, and Chen Fan drove to the Kearney training base again.

"Hey, Chen! Long time no see, how are you doing?

As soon as he entered the base hall, Chen Fan saw Ramsey and the three of them sitting on the sofa chatting, and Ramsey greeted Chen Fan warmly after seeing him.

"It's been a great holiday, what are you talking about?"

Chen Fan sat down with a smile.

After Ramsey looked around, he motioned for Chen Fan to come over.

"Robin van Persie is coming to Manchester United, just in the next few days."

Ramsey said to Chen Fan in a very low voice.

After Chen Fan heard the news, his face showed a look of shock, and he quickly asked in a whisper.

"Are you sure?"

In fact, these are Chen Fan's performances, and he was only a little surprised by the news.

Van Persie moved to Manchester United in this summer window, thinking that last season's double would change his mind, but it seems that the result has not changed.

"By the way, Chen, did you know that our team is chasing Thiago?"

Wilshire also joined the gossip and released fierce news.

Chen Fan has some understanding of this, and his favorite thing when he is on vacation is to watch the transfer market.

The Thiago in the mouth of the little threat is AC Milan's world defender Thiago Silva!

In this summer window, Arsenal's biggest pursuit object is his brother-in-law, and the biggest competitor is the wealthy new Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint-Germain.

In Chen Fan's memories of his previous life, Arsenal did not have this transfer.

But after thinking about it, it dawned on him when he thought of the words of Stan Kroenke, the Gunners' major shareholder, at the celebration banquet.

The unprecedented increase of 30 million pounds in transfer investment may have become the confidence of Arsenal to pursue his brother-in-law.

But now at this point in time, even half of the summer window has passed, and the final belonging of the brother-in-law is still unknown.

Of course, Chen Fan must hope that his brother-in-law can join Arsenal, and the Gunners' backline will be strengthened epicly.

On all fronts next season, the Gunners will be more confident!

Interestingly, the three seemed to have discussed it, and Walcott spoke after listening to the first two speaks.

"Chen, you know—"

"Is it Giroud?"

Chen Fan suddenly interrupted Walcott's words and said slyly.

The little tiger who was interrupted did not get angry at all, but looked at Chen Fan with some surprise, but he didn't expect the other party to guess.

He wants to talk about Ligue 1 star Olivier Giroud, which is also the focus of Arsenal's pursuit.

Perhaps as early as the beginning of the summer window, the team knew about Van Persie's intentions and began to contact Giroud, who had just helped Montpellier win the historic Ligue 1 title.

So far, there are inside sources that most of Giroud's transfers have been completed, just waiting for the official announcement.

"It's true, I asked."

Walcoat proudly told his three friends that he had received the exact answer from team insiders.

"And, ah, today, you know."

In the afternoon, a group of red and white figures appeared on the Kearney training ground for a long time.

As long as the Arsenal players who had completed their early contract extensions were on the pitch, Arsene Wenger stood on the sidelines and watched.

"Hey, Olivier, how do you feel?"

Chen Fan said to the sturdy and handsome guy who practiced passing with him opposite him.

He's Giroud, the beardless version.

Theo Walcott's news is not wrong, Giroud's official announcement was made by training with the pre-season team.

"It feels good, Chen, I think we can work well together."

Giroud, 25, smiled at Chen Fan.

"That's what I thought too."

......

After a week of returning form, the Arsenal squad welcomed a friendly against Manchester City at the Emirates Stadium.

The main purpose of this game is to let the respective players find their form and run in.

In the game, Chen Fan assisted a goal in place of Robin van Persie in the middle, and the latter hugged him excitedly when he celebrated.

The final match ended in a 2:2 draw.

Immediately afterwards, the gunmen only rested for a day and flew to Huaxia Port City.

This is a friendly match against the Kitchee team from Port City.

To be honest, everyone knows that this is a battle for money, and the team also needs to have a good meal, and the players understand.

On the day of the game, the Hong Kong City Stadium was full of fans, and Arsenal general manager Edelman, who was sitting in the box, blossomed.

The final match ended with a score of 3:3.

It fully demonstrates the spirit of friendship first and competition second.

After a few days of rest in Hong Kong, the Arsenal team set off again, this time to Chen Fan's hometown of Hangzhou.

Unexpectedly, more than half a month later, Chen Fan came back again.

And when I came to Hangzhou, I naturally had to play a friendly match with the Jiangnan team.

In last year's friendly match, Arsenal harvested a talented player like Chen Fan, and Wenger wants to try it this year.

In the Huanglong Stadium, Wenger stood on the sidelines and observed the players of the Jiangnan team, wanting to choose another 'Chen Fan'.

However, it did not let him get his wish, although there are several seedlings with good potential in the Jiangnan team, but it has not yet reached the level of letting him sign on the spot.

He just told the club to send scouts to watch the next game of the Jiangnan team, and he needed the data of several young players.

And this game was Arsenal's last friendly before the 12/13 season.

After the game, a piece of news came that sent all Arsenal fans crazy.
