"So, you're really going to England?”
After learning that Lin Xuan was leaving for two weeks, he headed to the distant England.
Luo Qingyan suddenly felt an indescribable emotion. She was happy for Lin Xuan, after all, he was one step closer to her dream.
However, Luo Qingyan felt extremely reluctant to part with him.
It was rare to have a good friend who could talk about everything together. It wouldn't be long before they would be separated by more than half of the world.
What if he really succeeded and never came back?
"Hey, what's with your expression? If I step into the top league, won't you be happy for me?”
"I'll definitely watch every game!”Luo Qingyan couldn't help but laugh," Remember, I'm your first fan!”
"Looks like I have to hurry up and sign more autographs. When the time comes, I'll let you sell them.”
"You haven't even played the game and you're already showing off!”
Luo Qingyan giggled, her sad mood also being diluted a lot.
Damn! It was useless to think so much now. At most, he would go to Oxbridge to study!
……
Due to Arsenal's invitation, Lin Xuan's visa to the UK went smoothly.
Once the visa was done, he would embark on his journey to Lundun.
The day before he left, Lin Xuan had just walked out of the classroom after school.
"Lin Xuan!"
In the corridor, Luo Qingyan called out to him.
" Ohhh
The students in the class began to jeer.
Luo Qingyan couldn't care less and handed him a gift bag.
"This…is for you."
"What is it?" Lin Xuan opened it to take a look. It was a pure black " Dual-Hook " sports wrist guard.
There were no e-commerce companies nowadays, so it was obvious that they bought it from a counter. It probably cost more than 100 yuan.
As expected of a rich lady, she had so much pocket money.
Seeing Lin Xuan's hesitation, Luo Qingyan explained,
"You are not allowed to wear other accessories on the court. The wrist guard is still okay. You can use it to wipe your sweat during the game.”
"Thank you. I'll send you a postcard when the time comes." Lin Xuan smiled.
"Good!" Luo Qingyan also smiled sweetly.
……
On the day of departure.
Lin Xuan once again rejected his parents 'company and took the opportunity to head to the capital alone.
"Mom, don't worry. I'm already so old. I still have the ability to take care of myself.”
"But that's overseas. What if I'm unfamiliar with the people and places overseas?”
"Damn, our son has grown up. Even if we let him fly, we can't take care of him for the rest of his life.”
Father Lin was very open-minded.
Lin Xuan had lived two lives. It was nothing much for him to fly overseas.
In any case, there would be someone waiting for them at Heathrow Airport.
The family hugged and bade farewell at the airport. Lin Xuan simply carried a bag and set off on his journey alone.
After changing planes in the Imperial Capital, Lin Xuan boarded the plane to London.
The long journey of more than ten hours was about to begin, but Lin Xuan was so excited that he couldn't sleep after boarding the plane!
Arsenal! Arsenal, who had been undefeated for 49 games!
In 2006, they even broke into the Champions League final, which was the closest they had ever been to the Champions League title.
Unfortunately, their opponents were too abnormal. The second team of Barcelona, led by Ronaldinho, was invincible.
From then on, the Gunners gradually withered and later evolved into the Premier League's king.
Even so, Arsenal was still one of the best teams in Europe during this period.
Even if Lin Xuan wasn't a gun fan, he would still be excited when he saw superstars like Wenger, Henry, and Pirès!
……
The journey of more than ten hours was indeed a little uncomfortable.
After getting off the plane, Lin Xuan felt dizzy.
Fortunately, his job in his previous life was related to foreign trade. He was fluent in English and successfully completed the immigration inspection at the airport.
Following the crowd to the exit, he looked around for a long time and finally found a middle-aged man with a big belly.
He was holding a pick-up card in his hand-" Shawn-Lin-From-China."
"How did I become Xiao En Lin?”
He shook his head helplessly and walked over.
"Sir, are you going to Arsenal for a trial?”
"Yes, yes, yes!" The middle-aged fat man wearing a leather jacket with white hair nodded excitedly.
"You are Xiao En Lin? Liam really admires you!”
"My name is Lin Xuan."
"Lin, Shu 'an?"
"Forget it, Sean will do."
Listening to foreigners speak Chinese was a headache.
"Hello, Shawn. I'm James, a scout for Arsenal. I'm mainly responsible for scouting in Japan and Korea.”
"What about China?"
“Emm...”James revealed a polite and awkward smile.
Alright, Lin Xuan instantly understood.
The national football team was still very strong around 2002.
At that time, Everton had Li Tie and Manchester City had " Manchester City Sun " Sun Jihai.
There were also star players such as Fan Zhiyi and Yang Cheng who were active in Europe's top leagues.
Everyone thought that this was the beginning of the national football team's rise. But who would have thought that this was the peak of the national football team?
From this generation onwards, the national football team no longer had outstanding talents. Occasionally, one or two good seedlings would emerge, but they would also fall like meteors.
It wasn't until the fifth base appeared that the national football team received a faint glimmer of light.
In 2006, it was reasonable for the scouts to be unable to find anyone in China.
Arsenal did send scouts to observe Chinese football for a while, but they found nothing, so they simply withdrew the scouts.
Among the scouts from all over the world, James had the most free time, so the club sent him to pick up Lin Xuan.
James drove a small Toyota from the 1990s and brought Lin Xuan through Lundun City.
Not long after driving, Lin Xuan fell asleep. After an unknown period of time, he was woken up by James.
"Hey, young man, we're here!”
Lin Xuan opened his eyes in a daze and saw that the surroundings were deserted. It was probably a rural area.
A few small two-story buildings were located in front of them.
"This is the Kearney training base. You should settle down in the dormitory first.”
At this moment, Lin Xuan's spirit was roused, and his sleepiness disappeared!
He was here! This was the cradle where Wenger nurtured the little gremlins!
