Chapter 261 The Professor's Expectations

"Hey boss!
Are you looking for me? "

As soon as Robin Van Persie entered the door, he saw Wenger sitting behind his desk, wearing glasses and studying materials, so he said hello.

When Wenger heard the words, he raised his eyes and took a look. Seeing that it was his lover Van Persie, he immediately laughed, took off his glasses and said:

"Robin, wait a moment, I'll get my affairs in order and talk to you about something.

There are some books there, you can read them first. "

"Okay, boss!"

Van Persie glanced down and found that there were indeed several books in front of him, all of which were about big data, economics, and kinematics.

He wasn't really interested in these things, but Wenger had already put on his glasses again, frowning and fiddling with something in front of the computer. Being a little bored, he could only pick up a book and flip through it slowly to pass the time.

After a long while, Wenger seemed to have finally finished the work in hand, and his brows finally eased. Then he took off his glasses, and said to Van Persie apologetically:
"Sorry, Robin, to keep you waiting."

"It's all right, boss!"

Van Persie immediately put down the book in his hand upon hearing this, raised his head and asked with a smile,

"Did you come to me today for something?"

Wenger was not in a hurry to reply, but got up and walked out from behind the desk, and then motioned for Van Persie to walk towards the sofa beside him.

Seeing this, Van Persie got up too, and went to the sofa with Wenger, sitting opposite each other with a small kettle between them.

Wenger first picked up the kettle and poured some water for Van Persie, then poured himself a glass of water, took a sip, then put down the glass and said:
"Robin, is there anything you want to talk to me about?"

"No……"

Van Persie just wanted to say no, but when he looked up and saw Wenger's sharp eyes hidden behind the elegance, he had to pause slightly, and then continued to speak;
"All right!
There are indeed...for example, about the starting lineup of the striker, and the coexistence of Mu and I. "

Hearing what Van Persie said, Wenger suddenly smiled, and he said with some relief;
"I'm glad you can say that, it proves your trust in me.

That's one of the reasons why I'm looking for you today.

I'm sorry, but when the club was looking for a forward candidate at the very beginning, their purpose was very clear, that is, to find someone who can replace you.

Because you have been injured too many times in the past.

And Arsenal want to go further and need a striker who can maintain enough health. "

Speaking of this, Wenger looked up at Van Persie in front of him, and seeing that the other party's face did not show dissatisfaction, he nodded secretly.

If it was the proud kid who just came to Arsenal back then, I'm afraid he would have already shown obvious dissatisfaction by this time, right?

Looking at the mature man in front of him, Wenger continued:
"Robin, you surprised me!

Especially after you have fully adapted to the position of center forward, I can see that you are born to belong to the restricted area.

Not only did you avoid too many pointless injuries through your perfect running position, but you also brought more changes to the team through your game reading ability.

If it is said that the top players in the world usually only have the size of one palm, then I think you must be one of them now!

It can be said that you are the perfect striker template in my heart!
But why did the club choose to spend a record-breaking transfer fee to acquire Mu after having such a perfect you?
That's because when I saw him, I was keenly aware that he can perfectly cooperate with you and add more tactical options to the team!

Perhaps, Mu may be the last piece of the puzzle to help you win the Premier League championship!
So, what I want to talk to you about today is this.

I want you to know that as long as you can maintain your current form, then you will always be my first choice in the striker position!

However, as an old player of the team, the second captain of the team.

I hope you can give him more help when a new player joins the team, so that he can adapt to the team faster, so as to help us win the championship earlier.

can you understand "

To be honest, even Van Persie has already passed his green years and thinks he has become mature.

But after hearing such affirmative words in front of this old man who he regarded as half nearby, he was still extremely excited!
"Don't worry, boss!!!
I will definitely not let you down! "

After seeing Van Persie say these words a little excitedly, the smile on Wenger's face became brighter.

He nodded in relief and said:
"I've talked to Case before, but how should I put it, that child is still young after all, and he and Mu are considered to be the same age.

So it seems that there is still some seriousness, I hope you can take care of it more.

In addition, once Case really requests to leave the team and return to Barcelona in the summer, it is very likely that we will really lose him. At that time, you may need to take on more responsibilities as the captain! "

Hearing this, Van Persie's eyes became brighter, he nodded vigorously, and said to Wenger:

"I understand! Boss!"

……

After seeing off Van Persie, Wenger sat alone by the sofa, rubbing his swollen temples.

At his age, it is definitely not an easy task to make these young people obedient without affecting morale.

Some people expressed disapproval of his working methods, thinking that he was too tolerant and spoiled these players.

But Wenger didn't take it seriously, because he always felt that as a coach, it is more satisfying to let players with different personalities fully display their strengths on the court and win the championship.

So in Arsenal back then, there was the maverick Bergkamp in the frontcourt, the proud and stubborn genius Henry Henry, the bad boy Ashley Cole, the domineering Vieira, and even Tottenham's "Judas". "Campbell.

But under his command, these talented teenagers with different personalities won the Premier League championship in the 03-04 season with undefeated results, which made the whole of Europe look sideways!
When they are constantly merging with each other because of their victory, the sense of accomplishment of watching the tall buildings rise from the ground and reaching the highest goal a little bit is really intoxicating.

It's a pity that they lost to themselves in the Champions League that year...

Thinking of this, Wenger shook his head helplessly, and said to himself:
"Is it really old?

Why do you always like to miss the past? "

Thinking of this, Wenger walked to the bed and looked out the window at the training ground.

Although it was a break, there were still some young players from the youth team training and playing.

The energetic look made Wenger's heart seem a lot younger, which made the old man with silver hair sigh quietly:

"Young, so nice!"

……

Just when Wenger made such an exclamation, Mu Jianfeng stood there at the door of the office behind him, wondering whether he should knock on the door or not.

After the training in the morning, he was told that he had come to the training base to talk to Wenger in advance in the afternoon.

It's just that when he came here before, the office secretary told him that there was someone in the professor's office, so he ran to the training ground and did some warm-up exercises before returning.

As soon as he arrived at the door and was about to knock on the door, he heard Wenger's sigh coming from the room.

But Mu Jianfeng thought about it for a while. If he retreated at this time, he might have to leave the impression that he was not punctual or late to his new coach.

In that way, maybe the loss outweighs the gain?
Therefore, Mu Jianfeng still knocked lightly on the door, and then said:
"Boss?
Excuse me, there were people in your office just now, so I went to the gym for a while, maybe I'm late? "

When Wenger heard the voice behind him, he quickly adjusted his mood, and then he turned around and walked towards the sofa with a smile:

"It's not too late, it's just right!
Come, sit down and drink some water. "

As he spoke, he pointed to the position where Van Persie sat just now.

Although Van Persie did not drink water, Wenger still took a new cup from the side and poured some water for Mu Jianfeng.

Such an attitude made Mu Jianfeng a little flattered for a while, and he didn't know how to deal with it.

Regardless of his career or age, Mu Jianfeng is a junior, and in Chinese etiquette, he does not let his seniors pour water.

So Mu Jianfeng quickly walked a few steps, took the water bottle and said:
"Sit down, I'll come!"

Wenger was taken aback, a little surprised, but he didn't stop him. Instead, the corners of his mouth curled up. While sitting down, he watched Mu Jianfeng refill his glass first, and then poured water into the empty glass in front of him. Half filled with water.

But how to say, Mu Jianfeng's attitude still gave him a lot of points in Wenger's image.

Seeing that Mu Jianfeng didn't drink after pouring water, he held it in his hand a little nervously, Wenger said with a smile:
"Mu, I don't speak Italian very well, and I don't even understand Chinese at all.

Fortunately, your English is really good, even better than mine, otherwise today's communication would really take some effort! "

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Mu Jianfeng to be polite, Wenger continued to speak:
"I called you here today because I want to analyze your current problems for you, and then formulate the next training plan!"
