He followed the youth training director, Freddy, to the meeting room in the training base.
As soon as he pushed the door open, Lin Xuan saw the man who often appeared on television, the news, the internet, and in spoof comics.
"Professor" Wenger!
Upon closer inspection, she realized that he was even older than he was in front of the camera.
Wenger had been frowning and was deep in thought with his head lowered.
Upon hearing the noise, Wenger put away his tired expression and pulled himself together with a smile.
"Hello, Lin, I'm Wenger.”
Although he had the right to speak on the team, he didn't feel very strong. Facing a young man like Lin Xuan, he still revealed his elegance.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Wenger.”
Lin Xuan said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner.
He hadn't officially signed a contract yet, so there was no need to call him Boss.
"Do you have a manager now? It's best if your manager is present for today's conversation. It'll be more beneficial for you.”
Wenger said.
"I don't need a manager for the time being.”
Lin Xuan smiled and shook his head, showing a maturity that was not befitting of his age.
Wenger could not help but be surprised. He thought that a 15-year-old young man would be trembling and at a loss.
He even hired a translator. The staff behind him was the Chinese translator prepared for Lin Xuan.
He didn't expect this Asian guy to not only act like an adult, but he could also answer fluently. His English was like his mother tongue.
Wenger could not help but waver.
He originally thought that as a Chinese, he might not be able to communicate smoothly with the team because of the language barrier.
For Arsenal, who pursued smooth cooperation, a language barrier was fatal.
Now that he saw that Lin Xuan didn't have any language problems, he slightly adjusted his plan.
"Alright, then I'll get straight to the point.”
After the two sat down, Wenger asked his assistant to take out two contracts.
Looking at the contract, Lin Xuan immediately understood. One was a professional contract, and the other was an apprentice contract.
Wenger continued to explain.
"Lin, Arsenal values you very much and is very optimistic about your talent, so we sincerely invite you to join Arsenal.”
"As you can see, there are currently two contracts. You can choose according to your wishes.”
"The first is to sign an apprentice contract and train with the team.
After this period of training, you can also feel that this is the most advanced training base in Europe.
The coaching staff will develop a training plan tailored for you, which is very suitable for your growth.
Then, we'll consider the next step based on your training.”
Lin Xuan understood. He meant that he could stay here to train, but Wenger could not say for sure if he could enter the First Team.
Because the role of the midfield playmaker was played by Fàbregas and Wilshere.
In Wenger's mind, he might have the ability to enter the First Team, but his priority was below those two.
In that case, it seemed that Wenger would not use the "special genius clause" on himself.
Lin Xuan could not tell Wenger that Fàbregas was leaving and Wilshere was a glass man who could not play.”
If he really said it out loud, Wenger would instead treat him as an unscrupulous person, which was unnecessary.
He wouldn't believe it if he didn't hit a wall.
In other words, if he wanted to enter the First Team in the next few years, he had to enter the national team and obtain a work permit.
Then the problem came. Lin Xuan was worried that if he did not play in a competition at the level of the Premier League, the Football Association might not see him at all.
He wouldn't even care if he saw it.
If he didn't play and didn't make a name for himself, how could the leaders of the Football Association, who didn't understand football, recruit a nobody to join the national team?
Therefore, it meant waiting for an uncertain future.
If it was just training and there were no important games to play.
The rewards from the system's check-in bonus were getting weaker and weaker. It was as if there was no data at all.
Only when the competition became more and more important and the bonus increased would he be able to improve even more.
Moreover, this apprentice contract was the lowest level.
The apprentice's salary was only 500 pounds per week. After deducting 20% of personal income tax, he would earn 1700 pounds a month.
Who are you looking down on?
If he didn't hurry and take his time, it wouldn't be a big deal. Anyway, he would definitely be able to achieve something in five years.
However, he understood the value of time better than anyone else.
What if he wasted too much time and couldn't realize his final dream?
One had to know that the Dream was Hell Mode!
Only by growing quickly could he have enough time to create more miracles!
At most, he could not go to the English Premier League, the Bundesliga or La Liga or Serie A!
As long as he could get a main position in the next few years!
"Emmm…Wait!”
Lin Xuan instinctively wanted to reject the idea.
He thought for a moment, then changed his mind 180 degrees.
If he walked out of Arsenal now, other teams might not sign him.
He might not even have the chance to try out!
Since Wenger had offered him an olive branch, he might as well accept it.
It was just an apprentice contract anyway, so it was easier for him to leave.
What's more, if they could make a name for themselves in the Premier League's youth league, they would be able to compete in the Premier League.
That would make it easier to attract the attention of the various powerhouses!
Moreover, the training facilities and coaching staff here were top-notch.
Even without the system, it would still be of great help to his improvement!
"Let's decide this for now.”
Although Lin Xuan had already made his decision, he didn't show it on the surface. He then looked at the second contract.
So he looked at the second professional contract.
Seeing this, Wenger continued to explain,
"The second contract is a professional contract.
Of course, you can't get a work permit now, so it's not in my team's plan.
So I'm going to rent you out to accumulate experience.
You can also train through the competition and get into the national team to qualify for the game.
As long as you could obtain a work permit, you might have a place in the First Team.
Of course, other than that, there's also the plan to add an apprentice to a class. We can talk about the details later.”
Lin Xuan took the opportunity to flip through the professional contract.
Although he was not a professional, he had many years of experience in the Football Manager game and could more or less see the problem.
This professional contract was a long-term low-value contract, and it was also just to fool him.
Geniuses like Bendtner and Wilshere were treated differently.
"
Thank you, Mr. Wenger." Lin Xuan smiled politely. Thank you for the two weeks of trial training. I'm sorry, but I can't accept any agreement.”
"What?" Wenger's eyes widened.
