There is a dream called football

At this time, Manchester City was not the rich and powerful Manchester City that they would become later, but the ordinary Manchester City without any stars.

Take a look at this list of names.

The forwards are Bernardo Corradi from Italy and Paul Dickov from Scotland, both of whom are little-known.

The winger is well-known, England's native Wales, and their head coach Pierce is not a big name either, not even as good as his predecessor Keegan.

At this time, the stadium used by Manchester City was also a city stadium with a very limited capacity and did not have its own stadium.

But even so, Arsenal still lost 0-1 away from home. What was even worse was that when they returned to face Middlesbrough at home, Arsenal was still tied 1-1. In this way, the new season started.

After three rounds, Arsenal have yet to win.

For the Champions League champions, this is unacceptable to the outside world, especially Arsenal's own fans.

What's even more annoying is that many people say that Arsenal has lost a spirit, the spirit that was invincible at Highbury.

Moving home is a big deal for any team, even in Europe, so superstition is inevitable.

Because coming to the Emirates Stadium, Arsenal had indeed created the worst start in the past decade, which put a lot of pressure on Wenger.

*****

At the team's training base, through the glass window, there is a hazy sky outside, and the dark clouds are heavy, just like Wenger's heart at this time.

He does not have those superstitious ideas, but the poor results are real in front of him. He scored 2 points in 3 rounds. This is naturally unacceptable to Arsenal, and the most important thing is that they will still face each other in the next round.

vs. Manchester United.

Even though the league has just started, it feels like you will slip down into the abyss if you are not careful. Wenger took the coffee and looked at the sky outside again, and his mood became even worse.

Why coaches tend to have gray hair and why coaches tend to have heart disease is actually because the pressure of this job is too great. Some people have said that this is not a pressure that normal people can bear.

So we should understand Mourinho's loud mouth. To a certain extent, it is also a release of pressure.

"The game against Manchester United must be won. It is as important as the Champions League final. If we cannot win, then..."

Wenger didn't think about it anymore. The Champions League group stage was about to start again, and Arsenal could only slide into a deeper abyss.

Wenger did not finish his coffee, but put the cup down to think about the next game.

*****

The players also lacked the usual laughter and laughter when eating. The atmosphere has indeed been abnormal recently. The luck is so bad. Many must-goal goals were inexplicably missed, which made everyone extremely unhappy.

In this atmosphere, joking is obviously not allowed, so Van Persie also shut up and sat with Li Qiao.

"After the game against Manchester United, it's the national team's match day. Are you going back?"

"I won't go. This time I made an agreement with the coach that I will stay."

Van Persie nodded, "I definitely want to go back."

"Are you showing off that you are the main player of the Dutch team?"

"Haha, why are you showing off? This is hard work."

"Ha ha."

At this time Rosicky came over. He tried hard to integrate into the team, but his English was so bad that chatting with him was a torture.

"The ball...can't go in, luck...isn't..."

"Let's... drink together, I'll treat you."

Among them, drinking is still a gesture.

The reason why Rosicky did not integrate into the team quickly has a lot to do with the language. As we all know, the Czech Republic and Germany border on each other, and the two countries have similar languages, so it is relatively easy for Rosicky to integrate into life in Germany.

But Britain and Germany are completely different, and the climate is also different, so Rosicky was very uncomfortable at first and even had no friends. This was directly related to his performance on the court.

Pires belongs to the French gang, and French is considered the official language at Arsenal, so there is no obstacle, but Rosicky is different.

Van Persie showed impatience. He couldn't explain it clearly. It is indeed difficult to be friends, but Li Qiao didn't think so. As a foreigner, it was also difficult for him when he first went to Porto, so comparing his feelings to others, Li Qiao

I know this feeling.

"Robin, I want to help him."

"what to do?"

"The first step is to be friends with Thomas."

"But he can't even speak clearly."

"There must be a way. Human communication does not necessarily require language."

Van Persie just doesn't understand.

After the training, Li Qiao invited Rosicky, Robin van Persie and Lehmann to go out together, that is, to a nightclub.

Although Li Qiao himself does not go to nightclubs, he also knows that nightclubs are the place where men can relax and communicate best, and can also quickly bring them closer to each other.

This is an ordinary nightclub in London, but it has good security and good privacy. Lyman comes here occasionally, so I chose this place.

Sure enough, in the feasting and feasting, Rosicky quickly relaxed and after drinking a few drinks, he kept saying something that no one could understand, probably in Czech.

"Tomas, you can speak German, we have Germans here." Li Qiao patted Lyman.

Rosicky regained his composure and smiled.

"You guys are so kind to me. In fact, I've been in a bad mood lately."

You can see this without saying anything, it's written all over his face.

"Thomas, do you regret coming to England?"

Rosicky shook his head, "Of course I don't regret it. This is the Premier League, my dream, and Arsenal is such a great club. I want to join here, but this is the first time I have been so far away from home."

"Well, we all know this feeling, but Thomas has something to say that I hope you won't misunderstand."

"What?"

"You have to cheer up, otherwise the fans will abandon you. This is the most competitive league in the world and the most ruthless. You should understand this. If you have been in this state, then you are really not far away from going home.

Far away."

Lyman stumbled while translating because the words were too direct, and only Li Qiao could say them.

But Rosicky suddenly became happy.

"Thank you. I know you really said that for my own good. I will cheer up."

"Also, practice English with everyone after training. Language is the most important, otherwise you will not have friends at Arsenal."

Rosicky nodded. Although learning is really difficult for him, there is no other way. He must master English as soon as possible.

That night, the four of them were very drunk. Li Qiao, a person who was not very good at drinking, risked his life to accompany Junzi. However, after relaxing, the problem would not disappear. Li Qiao could only hope that Rosicky would not really die.

Because if he performs poorly against Manchester United, Wenger may have no patience.
