Chapter 79: Wenger's invitation

   Relying on Li Chenglong's assist to create an own goal, Dundee United temporarily led Fulham 2:1 in the first half.

   During the intermission, the "big guys" in the stands all left one after another.

   Inspecting players, especially young players, is more about talent, not necessarily the entire game.

   At the beginning of the second half of the game, Fulham attacked for a while, and then slowly failed to attack.

At present, Fulham, their attacking core should have been Belgian Moussa Dembele, but Dembele received a red card in the last game. This game was suspended. Veteran Duff can only fight against it. The banner of offense.

   But Duff is close to 33 years old and he really can't carry it anymore.

   barely led the team in the first half and sent an assist to help Fulham equalize, but Duff really couldn't run in the second half.

   As for the Norwegian heavy artillery hand, although he once had a long-range heavy artillery that interrupted Alan Smith’s thigh, which made the latter's career go up and down since then, such an amazing act, but now it is the same old and can’t fire the artillery.

   So Fulham fell behind in the second half, the offensive was not as good as the first half, and the threat created was much less.

   Dundee United also recognized this situation, so the two teams were in a stalemate.

   Dundee United did not want to play too hard in the game. In the multi-line battle this season, everyone is very tired.

   The most intuitive manifestation is that only one-third of the season has been played, and the team has already had two key players, Barry Douglas and Lunar Brother, injured.

   You must know that after playing a whole season last season, Dundee United only suffered two injuries to key players, Joan Daly and Jackie Lee, and they were not serious.

   Until the end of the game, the scoreboard at Craven Stadium is still 1:2, with the home team in front and the away team behind.

   When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, the entire Dundee United team cheered at Craven Stadium.

   "Well, the guys in Dundee United are good. They defeated their opponent 2:1 on the away game and completed a double play against the Premier League team Fulham, which also laid the foundation for their promotion to the knockout round."

  The Scottish commentator was also cheering, because this was a Scottish victory over England.

   After winning Fulham in this game, Dundee United's points came to 7 points, while Fulham still only had 4 points, and Dundee United still had the advantage in terms of the outcome.

   In another game at the same time, Twente defeated Odense 3:2 at home, completing a double play against the Danish team, and the points came to 10 points.

   After four rounds, the points of Group K are: Twente 10 points, Dundee United 7 points, Fulham 4 points, Odense 1 point.

  According to the current situation, Dundee United only needs to win any game in the last two rounds to ensure that they advance to the knockout rounds.

   As the winner of the best player of the game after the game, Lee Chenglong went to the press conference with the head coach Peter Houston.

   But at the press conference, English reporters were not too concerned about the results of the game, instead they kept asking about Lee's future.

   "Bruce, Arsenal coach Wenger appeared in the stands of the match, is this your appointment in advance?"

   "Of course not. I didn't know that Coach Wenger was coming to Craven Stadium. He might just watch a game."

   "Many United and Tottenham also appeared in the stands, you know?"

   "I don't know, I don't even know the people you are talking about."

   "Will you leave Scotland this winter transfer period? Or maybe next summer transfer period?"

   "I had a very good time in Dundee and I have no intention of leaving Dundee United for the time being."

   "But Wenger said that he would make an offer to Dundee United during the winter transfer period. What do you think?"

   "Every transfer period will have countless offers, but few of them can actually achieve a transfer."

  ……

   Finally dealt with the reporter, Lee Chenglong did not go to the reserved hotel to rest with the team, but left with Kate Lee.

   "Bruce really just went home to rest?" Seeing Jackie Lee got into Kate Lee's car and left, assistant Toby Hudson asked.

   "I don't know, he did say that when he asked me for leave." Peter Houston sighed.

   The two looked at each other, and they knew in each other's hearts that this genius might not have much time to stay in Dundee United.

   Li Chenglong did go home to rest, but before going home to rest, he had to go to a place first.

   Kate Lee turned the steering wheel around, the car came to North London, and stopped in front of a beautifully decorated villa.

   The two knocked on the door, and the one who came to open the door was a gray-haired old man with a Chinese character face. If he was an Arsenal fan, he would definitely know him. This is Wenger's right-hand man, Arsenal's assistant Pat Rice, known as Uncle Mi Fan.

   Rice is Rice, meaning rice.

  Pat Rice greeted the two of them in the door, and Arsene Wenger had been waiting there.

   "Kate, Bruce, you are here." Wenger stood up and shook hands with Kate, then patted Jackie Lee on the shoulder.

   This is the first time Li Chenglong has seen Wenger, a famous football player, and couldn't help but observe carefully.

   Wenger wears a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and a white shirt. From the appearance, he is indeed gentle.

   After the four settled down, Pat Rice first praised Jackie Lee: "Bruce, your performance tonight is very good."

   "Thank you, but this is all the credit of the team." Li Chenglong still has this awareness, don't be greedy for merit.

   After a simple courtesy, the topic finally entered the most important stage.

"Bruce, you have to believe that we definitely invited you to join Arsenal with great sincerity." Wenger pushed his glasses and said: "The current situation at Arsenal is indeed not very good, but it is also correct. Is it your chance to show your strength?"

   Pat Rice also said: "The team's personnel changes in the past two years have been very large. We have lost important players during each transfer period, and our core players have changed almost every year..."

   Wenger glanced at his teaching assistant, but didn't say much.

   Lee Chenglong understood what Les said, meaning that if he joined Arsenal, as long as he played well, he might be promoted to the core in a year or two.

   And another meaning of this is that the current Arsenal core Van Persie may also be leaving.

   Van Persie performed very well this season ~www.ltnovel.com~ almost reached the peak of his career, so the Manchester City duo has been rumoring an affair with Van Persie almost every day.

   "Coach Wenger, I am indeed honored to invite you in person, but this may be an important step that will affect my career. I really can't make a decision lightly."

   At the end of the topic, Li Chenglong still said the same thing, and it was too early, and Li Chenglong and Kate Lee were about to leave.

   After watching Li Chenglong and their car leave, Wenger and his teaching assistant went back to the room and sat down. Both lit up a cigarette and were silent to each other.

   "Don't the media say that this kid is a loyal fan of our team? How come we personally invite him, he doesn't let go?" Pat Rice finally couldn't help but said.

   "It can be seen that not only does he have a high quotient on the court, he is also a person with high emotional intelligence in his life. It is difficult for this kind of person to restrain him emotionally." Wenger snorted.

"It's a pity that if we can finalize him, plus Jack, we will have the core of the midfielder for the next ten years." By Pat Rice, Jack refers to Jack Wilshere, currently Arsenal's Super genius.

   "Although he did not let go, we are definitely the closest team to introduce him." Wenger took another long breath.

"What about Manchester United? Manchester United's interest in him is not small..." Les said, suddenly thinking of something, and quickly said: "Isn't that old man Ferguson always obsessed with Robin? We can use this Threaten him and let him take the initiative to withdraw from the contention."

   Les felt that he had really thought of a genius solution, and couldn't help but dance.

   As for Robin, it naturally refers to Robin Van Persie, the current star of Arsenal.
