Chapter 70 Youth Training Activities
, update the latest chapters as soon as possible!
The recent city of London can be called the main carnival venue for Arsenal fans.
You can see something with an Arsenal element almost everywhere in London.
The enthusiasm of Arsenal fans can no longer be restricted by the North London area and radiates quickly to the outside world.
Especially with Arsenal's excellent results in recent seasons and the blessing of operations, the number of Arsenal's registered fans is growing at an alarming rate.
Currently, the club with the most registered fans in the UK is Newcastle, and the team with the most fans in London is Arsenal.
However, in recent years, Arsenal has the highest number of new fans in the entire Premier League.
Especially among the age group of 10-20 years old, a large number of teenagers like this team full of enthusiasm and fighting spirit.
Arsenal's long team history also gives her enough foundation.
Of course, with more fans, there are also many so-called activities.
At present, Arsenal players will be divided into some activities, and Lucky is naturally unavoidable.
However, unlike other people’s offline activities, most of Lucai’s activities are online.
Here, as soon as Lucky finished making a video to thank the fans, he was called over by Arsenal's youth training director.
As Arsenal's number one player and face, his job is not just as simple as playing football.
It is also very normal to attend some activities occasionally.
However, this youth training activity was obviously the decision of youth training director Bald himself.
"We were originally planning to have Jack be a guest at the Arsenal Cup, but the sponsors didn't seem particularly satisfied."
As a product of Arsenal's youth training and a player who plays for Arsenal's first team, Wilshere is definitely qualified to represent Arsenal's youth training.
But in today's era of combining business and football, there are some things that they cannot decide.
The era of pure football has passed. Now, with the introduction of commercialization, a large amount of money has poured into the football industry to make it flourish, but at the same time it has restricted many things.
Lucky also understood this quite well. Moreover, the youth training director personally came to invite someone, so Lucky had no reason to refuse.
"There are two games in total, a normal 90-minute duration, and it is also the semi-finals of the Arsenal Cup. At that time, you need to say something or encourage the players who have entered the finals!"
Listening to Bald's words, Lucky nodded to express his understanding.
Then he joked: "Invite me to the semi-finals, who will I invite to the finals?"
"Noze is still our boss!"
Lucky showed a slightly surprised expression.
It's a good idea to go to war in such a big way!
Balder grinned and said, "You'll know when you go there."
Hearing this, Lucai also shrugged.
The two moved in a vehicle, and since it was an official match, it was not held at the training base.
Moreover, cup matches like this will not be held in youth training bases. Most of them are outsourced and rented stadiums.
The two took a vehicle to the London-Inslington area.
This is the area where the Emirates Stadium is located and is also part of the North London area.
The Arsenal Cup semi-final is held at Innslington Stadium.
Although the name sounds great, it is just a public golf course in an area.
It's just that the two large venues in the middle are surrounded by various advertising boards, forming two separate venues.
The football atmosphere in London is still very good.
Even ordinary residents are happy to watch the games of these young players in their spare time.
Although it is not as exciting as the official game, it still has a unique style.
There are many local Arsenal fans gathered here, and even scouts and reporters, which shows how much attention this game has received.
When Lucky appeared, the entire stadium was in shock.
The first to bear the brunt are Arsenal fans, whose love for the captain is simply sky-high.
The guys who were lazily basking in the sun before, when they saw Lucky, they ran over at a sprint speed of 100 meters and expressed their love excitedly.
"Hey! Kai! Look here!"
"Captain! Sign your name for me!"
"Captain, look here, let's take a photo together!"
The originally peaceful stadium suddenly became lively.
Lucky is also very patient with these Arsenal fans, not to mention that Lucky sees a lot of acquaintances among them.
"Will, you should be at school at this time, don't ask me to call your father!"
Lucky looked at a young man with long, curly, fluffy hair and wearing a baseball uniform and said seriously.
This is the youngest son of Tyler Cage, the ‘leader’ of Arsenal’s North Stand. Since he is the leader of the stands and a representative of the fans, he has had a lot of interactions with Tyler Cage.
Seeing Lucai's serious expression, the little guy was obviously a little embarrassed.
"School is not interesting at all." The little guy curled his lips.
"But it's better than you here. Do you want to play in the game?" Lucky said jokingly: "Maybe you can learn from your brother. His performance in Arsenal's youth training is very good."
"Hmph! That bastard! Look, I'll kill him!" The little guy bared his teeth and looked fierce. However, due to his age, he felt cute.
The surrounding fans also showed kind smiles.
After all, they had heard a little bit about the problematic young son of the Cage family.
Lekai met the fans' needs along the way, and then shook hands with the sponsors, and then came to the coaching seat at the invitation of everyone.
Here, the four teams of young players are already standing in front.
It's a bit too much to say that they are young players.
This is a U18 level competition, and the teenagers here have reached the age where they can play in professional competitions.
Of course, if their performance is exciting enough.
But among these young players, there is a figure that is slightly shorter and thinner than the others.
The jersey is slightly loose on the body, and the long hair is fluttering, but not cool.
There is a hint of nervousness on the freckled face, as if he is not used to this kind of occasion.
Lekai's eyes have been fixed on this figure that is slightly smaller than other children.
Bould laughed and said, "Cade Fernandez, his father is Spanish and his mother is British. He is now sixteen years old, and we are thinking about how to keep him in the UK!"
"Playing in the U18 game at the age of 16?"
Jumping two levels to participate in the competition, it can be said that the performance is still quite impressive.
After skipping two levels, he can go directly to the professional league.
"He is the most watched young player in this game, and we have a plan to let him feel the enthusiasm of Arsenal."
Boulder said confidently
Lekai was curious: "Is he from our youth training?"
"No!" Balder shook his head.
Lekai said unhappily: "What's the point of talking about that!"
"But he is willing to join the big family of Arsenal." Balder smiled.
Lekai stared at Balder for a long time.
The latter coughed dryly and said: "Their youth training is willing to sell his youth training contract, and we are willing to buy it."
"Give him a professional contract directly?" Lekai was shocked.
Giving a professional contract directly at the age of 16 is amazing.
Looking back again, can that thin figure really adapt to the Premier League?
In response, Balder laughed and said: "Just wait and see."
Looking at the other party's confident look, Lekai also nodded.
When the two sat down, the game in the stadium was about to begin.
Lekai also followed the crowd and focused his attention on the young man named Cade Fernandez.
He kept his hands behind his back and listened carefully to the coach's explanation of tactics.
The attitude of the people around him was also strange. As a teammate, there was no communication.
And their opponent in this game was Arsenal's U18 youth training.
"How is our U18?"
"Very bad!"
Bould said bluntly.
Lekai was stunned.
Are you so direct?
Don't forget, he is the youth training director.
But Bould sighed and said: "There is no way. After Mourinho called Saka and others to the first team, the U18 was directly broken. Now we can only wait for lower-level players to come out and fill this gap."
"In the previous U18 league, we were slaughtered by Crystal Palace's youth training once."
Lekai: "When?"
"Just after you slaughtered Crystal Palace!" Bould said quite resentfully.
Lekai: ""
