Chapter 45: Wenger Retires

After the 90 minutes of the game, the entire stadium was filled with cheers.

Arsenal fans celebrate another victory.

The current Arsenal fans are satisfied. Compared with the stumbling blocks of last season, Arsenal this season has an indomitable momentum.

Arsenal have not lost in the league so far this season. Although they lost one game in the Europa League, it is not a big deal.

In the league, Arsenal leads the entire standings with a record of 6-2-0.

Manchester City follows with a 6-1-1 record.

Eight rounds of the league have passed, and the pre-match test for Arsenal has basically ended. The media and commentators who were not optimistic about Arsenal this season have also shut up.

Although Arsenal under Mourinho no longer continues the tradition of beautiful football, it has changed its playing style and tactical configuration.

But they became more brave and good at fighting.

The most noteworthy among them is undoubtedly Lucai.

When Mourinho was coaching Arsenal, he once said that he was the head coach who understood Lucky best, and his task was to maximize Lucky's power.

Eight rounds of the league have passed, and Lucai has scored 4 goals and 5 assists during this period.

For a midfielder, Lucky's performance on the offensive end is shocking.

Last season's Lucky already gave people a feeling of being unstoppable, and this season it has a strong dominance of the game.

You know, Lucky is only 23 years old now!

His career once again reached its peak.

Based on the performance of Lucky and Arsenal as a whole, current Arsenal fans are also full of expectations for the future.

League, Europa League, FA Cup!

They all have the capital to challenge.

As long as there is no major incident such as a huge wave of injuries or a sudden problem with a certain player, Arsenal will definitely be able to win certain honors this season.

The only pity is that Arsenal failed to qualify for the Champions League last season and could not appear in the Champions League.

Many people even say that Arsenal now feels invincible in the Champions League.

Although they lost to Fenerbahce in the group stage, everyone knew that that game was a surprise. Once Arsenal performed stably, the strength gap between the two sides was still very large.

In the early morning in London, a thin mist rises.

On the runway along the Thames River, two figures broke through the fog and ran forward slowly.

One is a strong young man.

The other is a slightly thin older man.

The two ran side by side and stopped in front of a viewing platform.

"Huh~~ I really can't compare to young people!"

Wenger was panting and holding his knees, with a trace of blush on his face. It was obvious that his physical energy was basically exhausted.

Lucky looked at the old man speechlessly.

What does it sound like for Wenger to compete with himself at such an old age?

But this also shows how competitive Wenger is.

"I'm going to participate in the retirement competition in a while." Wenger said with a smile; "Ferguson will also participate!"

Lucky said in shock: "How old are you, and you still want to compete?"

Wenger waved his hand and said: "Be a coach!"

Lucky then smiled and said, "That's not bad."

Wenger turned around and blinked: "But we will also play for a few minutes."

Wenger played in the midfield position during his playing days.

"I called you here this time mainly because I want to ask you how you can tackle accurately!" Wenger said; "Ferguson is on the opposite side and he will play as a forward."

Lucky waved his hand directly and said, "No comment!"

After this kick, Ferguson did not leave the game, but died directly.

Wenger also smiled and said: "Just a joke."

Wenger straightened up, breathed in the fresh morning air, and said with a smile: "I have been following your games recently. Although I don't really agree with Mourinho's tactics, he is indeed a very winning coach!"

Lucky nodded; "Yes, Mr. Mourinho will always put some radical and utilitarian tactics in front of us. I am a defense and goal-first person!"

"He doesn't care whether the scene looks good or not, he is just chasing victory!" Wenger shrugged; "And I prefer the things above, so many people say I am a romantic!"

Lucky laughed; "But we did play well at that time!"

Wenger: "But we can't win!"

Lucky raised his eyebrows: "Doesn't the Champions League championship count?"

Wenger was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing.

"After we old guys retired, we all started to become leisurely. Patrice can't find anyone anymore. I heard that he travels around major lakes. He is now obsessed with fishing!"

Lucky: "He is a very dedicated and patient person. This hobby really suits him."

"Patrice is patient?" Wenger seemed to have heard a joke and shook his head: "He is only patient with you."

In Wenger's memory, Patrice will always be the same irritable and hot-tempered person when they first met.

Although his temper has softened a little as he has grown older, it is still not much better.

His kindness and gentleness are only for Lucky.

Because Lucky was always able to satisfy him, even beyond his expectations.

"You should go back to the Emirates Stadium and take a look!" Lucky suggested: "The fans miss you very much!"

Hearing this, Wenger smiled and waved his hand, saying, "It's only been a short time since we left, it's not cheesy enough."

After a pause, Wenger continued, "Let's talk about it later. Now it's Mourinho's Arsenal. My presence will only add pressure to him. Maybe at the end of this season, when you play in the Europa League final, I will go to watch the game."

Lekai grinned and said, "You seem to be sure that we can play in the Europa League final."

Wenger nodded seriously, "Yes, I don't know Arsenal now, but I know you very well!"

Wenger looked at Lekai and smiled, "You are playing very happily now, even happier than when I was coaching. Mourinho should have found a way of playing that really suits you."

Lekai was silent for a moment and said, "Maybe."

He did not deny it.

"This is the best!" Wenger exhaled slowly and said, "Always keep your love and passion. Don't forget the pure love at the beginning just because football has become a profession. These are the driving forces that support a player to go on."

Lekai nodded and said, "I understand!"

Wenger looked down at the time and said, "Please take me home. I'm going to have breakfast. I've run too much today."

Lekai smiled and said, "Grandma Annie should scold you!"

Wenger glared, and then couldn't help smiling and said, "She is always like this. The older she gets, the worse her temper becomes."

"Let's go, I'll take you home!"

The two walked out and ran to the parking lot.

Wenger's home is not far from this location. Lekai drove to it in about five minutes.

Grandma Annie was waiting for Wenger at the door. When she saw Wenger get out of the car, she wanted to scold him and complain, but when she saw Lekai, she immediately put on a smile.

At the invitation of Grandma Annie, Lekai also went in to have breakfast.

After the morning run, Lekai was also very hungry and started to eat voraciously.

"Don't eat too much, just keep a balanced diet."

Seeing Lekai eating too much, Wenger frowned and reminded him.

On the other hand, Grandma Annie on the side was dissatisfied; "Kai eats well because I cook well. He recognizes my cooking skills. You are no longer the head coach. Don't always use the club's management model."

Wenger was speechless and could only shake the newspaper in his hand and cough dryly to ease the embarrassment.

Lekai smiled at the two and put down the fork in his hand.

"I'm full."

Grandma Annie said; "There is another grilled meat pie."

Lekai waved his hand and said; "I really can't eat anymore. I should go to training."

"Really?" Grandma Annie was a little regretful.

Lekai's arrival made this cold family a little lively. Seeing Lekai eating, their appetites also improved a lot.

In the end, Grandma Annie wrapped the meat pie in kitchen paper and stuffed it into a plastic bag and handed it to Lekai.

Lekai did not refuse. After saying goodbye to the two, he drove to the training base.

Boom! !

As soon as he walked out of the locker room, Lekai heard a dull collision.

The collision came from the training ground.

Lekai looked at the time. It was not yet 7 o'clock.

There should be no one at this time!

When Lekai arrived at the training ground, he saw Aubameyang sitting in the middle of the field. There were many balls scattered around him. Judging from the amount of sweat, he had been training for a while.
