Chapter 327 Horton's Application

Liu Han played 10 minutes in the second round of the Premier League. Wenger made adjustments to the striker in the second half. Teenager Boamot replaced Liu Han and Henry returned to the center position.In order to cope with the third-line or even fourth-line operations this season, Wenger still hopes to cultivate Henry's feeling in the center position. In Wenger's coaching philosophy, he hopes that his players are multi-functional.

However, Henry has always lacked dominance at the center position, coupled with the young teenager Boamot always thinking about self-expression, Arsenal failed to score in the next game, but this is not important anymore, because this The most important thing in the game is over. The second goal Liu Han participated in is bound to become a classic and will appear in various video highlights countless times. After many years, this will become a memory for many older fans They will tell their children and grandchildren the stories of that year.

Liu Han has scored four goals in three games and directed a classic goal. He has shown amazing abilities in the two positions of midfielder and center. What makes many fans admire him is his Huge adaptability, from barely moving positions at the beginning to directing a classic cooperation by himself, Liu Han's learning ability surprised everyone.

After the game, when Wenger appeared at the press conference full of ambition, many people asked him how Liu Han integrated into the Arsenal team so quickly, but Wenger always diverted the topic slightly, sometimes Many reporters even speculated whether Liu Han had received football training before, but according to various investigations, no evidence was found. The only thing that can be confirmed is that Liu Han spent a month at the Lille youth training base.

When Liu Han shined in the Premier League, the 16-year-old Franck Ribery also quickly conquered Arsenal's youth training director with his focused training attitude and rapid growth. This French boy with a scar on his face has never After arriving in London, he devoted himself wholeheartedly to training. His serious attitude even became a positive example of Arsenal's youth training base. In order to prevent this overly hardworking little guy from hurting himself, the youth training coach even had to monitor him almost the whole time. Ribery, because if he doesn't pay attention to this guy, he will go to extra training.

Franck Ribery's attitude was learned from Liu Han. During the month of getting along with Liu Han, Ribery, who was only 15 years old at the time, really saw what it means to be serious. When he went to the bathroom with a football, he knew that the other party's success was certainly due to talent, but it was more due to Liu Han's dedication, so after Liu Han left, Ribery consciously He began to imitate Liu Han's behavior. Although he was a little irritable at first, after a period of time, Ribery gradually adapted to this kind of training, which is one of the reasons for his rapid growth.

Of course, Wenger has not forgotten this little guy he personally brought back from Lille. Whenever he has time, Wenger will ask the youth training coach about Ribery's situation. When he learned that Ribery is so serious, Wenger He smiled gratifiedly, this little guy who imitated Liu Han's stern face satisfied him, and Wenger would give him a chance in the near future.

In Shanghai, in Bobby Horton's office, Horton completed an application with the help of translator Sun Chen. Horton is quite disgusted with this kind of work full of procedural sense, although he is now the head coach of the Olympic team , but when he wanted a player to join his team, he had to get the approval of the leader. This was unimaginable to Horton before, but Horton, who has lived in China for a year, has gradually accepted it. In this form, Horton is not a particularly strong person. Perhaps it is this easy-going personality that allows him to become the national team coach of this ancient country. In Horton's view, these football "officials" in this country are more What they care about is their own future, but they don't know that their future is inseparable from football.

Horton's application is to let Liu Han join the Olympic team. Although Horton only watched two Liu Han games through the Internet, Liu Han's state and ability in the game have completely surpassed all of the Olympic team. Players, Liu Han is the world's top player in terms of physical fitness. Liu Han, who can play a world in the NBA, is not comparable to domestic players.

In Horton's original idea, Liu Han could serve as a defensive midfielder and lock a big gate for the Olympic team's defense, but now he has changed his mind. He even wants to make Liu Han the core of the Olympic team, truly attacking and defending. The core at both ends, this is not Horton's fantasy. From Liu Han's second goal against Arsenal and Derby County, it can be seen that Liu Han has a high golf quotient, and Horton has also seen Liu Han's basic skills Very solid, even more solid than some domestic players, this is the capital that Horton believes in Liu Han.

However, Horton is now a little worried about whether his application can be quickly approved by the leadership. According to the procedure here, his application must first be handed over to the team leader of the Olympic team, and then the team leader will hand it over to the management department. After approval, it will be submitted to Wang Junsheng, the director of the Football Management Center, the full-time vice chairman of the Football Association, for review. A player application can only be coordinated after passing the review of no less than five officials. This seems to Horton is unimaginable.

But what Horton doesn't know is that in fact, the biggest possibility of his application is that it will not be approved at all. After all, Liu Han is not a player in the system. From the perspective of "leaders", it is the confidence to disobey management. These "leaders" value more the harmony and unity within the team, and any unstable elements that will affect their reputation will be excluded.

Although Sun Chen is only Horton's translator, he actually sees some things in the Football Association more clearly than Horton. People who have never lived in this land will never understand the way of thinking here. Chen has great expectations for Liu Han if he can join the Olympic team, but he is very clear about how much resistance there will be.

But what Sun Chen and Horton didn't expect was that Liu Han is not just a famous player, he also has his own supporters, and the strength of these supporters is beyond their imagination.

Horton's application actually gave Wang Junsheng, the full-time vice chairman of the Football Association who is currently in the whirlpool, a new way out. Because of the "Golden State Incident" in 97 and the defeat in some earlier competitions, Wang Junsheng's status began to decline. Shaken, now Wang Junsheng hopes to get more help from the outside world, and Liu Han, in Wang Junsheng's view, is a good breakthrough point.
