Missed the fourth quarter

"Ding, the host triggers an immediate task: become a Premier League player. Complete the task and get a reward of 2,000 skill points. There is no penalty for failure." Richard took a deep breath looking at the somewhat old stadium in front of him. He was kicked out by Chelsea. He knows that he will not be able to return to Chelsea for the time being, but Chelsea is not the only team in London. He does not want to leave London. At least for the time being, he is reluctant to leave his parents. After all, Richard is only nineteen years old now.

Arsenal is one of the twenty football clubs in the Premier League, the top league in England, and one of the largest clubs in the world. The club is based in London. After Frenchman Arsene Wenger took over Arsenal, Arsenal has always been the largest club in the Premier League. One of the best teams and one of the most competitive clubs in Europe. Of course, this is of no use to Richard at this stage. Of course, no player does not likes a wealthy team, but a wealthy team will also be a nightmare for the players. The players here carry too many expectations, so that they can't perform even a little bit. If you fail to meet the requirements, then being kicked out will be the final outcome. There are reasons why Richard chose Arsenal. First of all, because Arsenal is located in London, Richard's first choice is that It is close to home. Secondly, Arsenal's youth training system is well-known throughout Europe. Wenger's shot control It is known to the whole world, so Arsenal's training of young players is very good. Richard hopes that he can get the opportunity to stay at Arsenal.

Just before Arsenal's training ground, the unique cold electronic synthesized sound of the 'Perfect Midfield System' suddenly sounded in Richard's ears. Richard was startled. Now he knew that this voice only sounded in his head and other people could not hear it. However, Richard was a little surprised. Why was he still on a mission? The most important thing is, I don't object to you having a task. If you have a task, you have skills. The key is that you have to be realistic. This guy is a member of the youth team who was kicked out by Chelsea. Why do you still ask me to enter the Premier League? Aren't you making things difficult for others?

But complaining is just complaining. You have to do whatever you want. Let's try it first. Anyway, as long as you don't kill me, I will be able to enter the Premier League sooner or later. If it doesn't work, I will go to a low-level competition to improve my skills first!

Richard gritted his teeth. Now is not the time to consider the task of being a Premier League player. It would be best if he could be retained by the Arsenal youth team. If it doesn't work, then try another team. I will try to find him no matter what. Each team needs to settle down first!

Richard gritted his teeth and walked to the training ground not far away in order to be able to play in the game.

"Hey, young man, you can't enter the training ground. Our team is training. I hope you won't disturb those lovely children." The old man outside the training ground was very conscientious and hurried away when he saw Richard wanting to enter the training ground. 

"Man, I'm here for a trial. I think I will become a member of the team soon." After staying in the UK for a long time, Richard naturally learned how people in European and American countries speak.

"Young man, it's not that simple to come to Arsenal's youth training camp. I think you can give me your trial training invitation. I will be happy to lead you to familiarize yourself with everything in the youth training camp. Of course, you must have a trial training invitation. ." The white-haired old man looked Richard up and down, and stopped in front of Richard with a smile on his face.

"No, no, no, I don't have a trial invitation now. But I think the coaches will be impressed by my strength, as long as I can enter the training camp." Richard smiled bitterly and shrugged. Now he is just a nobody. Scrap players, where did they get invitations to trial training?

"I'm sorry, young man. You know, I can receive a salary from Arsenal every month. I must be worthy of my salary, so I can't let you enter the training camp." The old man frowned and was very determined. Said.

"Dear man, you can't do this, you should let me in, you shouldn't ruin the football dream of a hopeful football boy." Richard didn't care about being sick at this time, and suppressed the goosebumps all over his body and pretended to be tender. .

"Oh oh oh, young man, I must be worthy of my salary. I can't let you in unless you have an invitation for a trial training." The old guy was obviously weathered, and he stopped in front of Richard.

"Hey, Old John, what are you doing?" At this time, a bald middle-aged man drove by. Seeing Richard still pestering the old man, he couldn't help but stop the car and asked.

"Steve, this young man wants to participate in the team's trial, but you also know that a lot of people come to us every year, and I can't let them disturb the young men's training, because you know, they There's no invitation for trial training." Old John spread his hands and said.

"Oh? Really?" A middle-aged man named Steven looked at Richard for a few times, "Young man, Aren't you a little too old for a trial?"

"I was trained at Chelsea Youth academy."

"That's it. Young man, do you want to participate in the team's trial training? I think I can give you a trial training opportunity, but you must tell me why I need to give you a chance, and why do you have the confidence to join the team The trial training, you must know that the boys there are very good." Steven said patiently.

"I believe in my skills, and my dribbling will never lose to your players." Richard said with confidence. This is not Richard's boast. Although his ability is still lacking, compared with other players of the same age. As a player, Richard's skills are quite good, but of course they are limited to dribbling.

"You're a very confident young man, now you can tell me where to play." He said noncommittally on the phone.

"I play midfield." When Richard heard that there was a chance, he immediately became energetic and began to promote himself hard.

"Get in the car. As long as you can show enough strength, I think Arsenal will welcome you." Steven tilted his head and motioned for Richard to get in the car.

　　.......

"Young man, although your dribbling is very good, you need to understand that your position is the midfielder. Your passing and organization are all important. Of course, you can also be a defensive midfielder, but I think you should be able to Understand, your passing can't really meet the team's requirements. If you really like football, then I hope you can continue to train well. Of course, you have to pay attention to your passing." Richard wiped his forehead with a wry smile He was sweating, and as expected, he was still rejected, and someone caught him unable to pass the ball.

Richard walked out of the training camp a little disappointed. Chelsea was the home team that kicked him out, and Arsenal didn't need him. Although there are still many London teams left, Richard still doesn't have many opportunities. West Ham United The team has always had a tough style of play. Although they have restrained themselves a lot in recent years, the Hammers' reputation is still out there. They will definitely look down on so-called technical players like Richard. Charlton, Fulham and Tottenham Hotspur It seemed like his best choice. Of course, Richard's goal is just to be accepted by a team, because only in this way can he get the opportunity to play, because only in this way can he continue to gain skill points.

"You will definitely regret it!" Richard looked back at the gate of the youth training camp with the Gunners logo. Richard believed that one day he would stand on the Premier League pitch. He believed that one day he would be able to become an all-powerful figure. So, Arsenal, although I don't hate you for rejecting me, one day you will regret missing me!

Richard took a deep look at Arsenal's youth training camp. The setback I suffered today will not be an excuse for me to retreat. I will move forward bravely in the face of setbacks. With a hint of determination in his mouth, Richard turned around and strode away. June 25, 2005, is a date that will be remembered by Gunners fans because they know that on this day they missed the best midfielder in the world.

There is more than one team in North London. Although Richard has been in the Chelsea youth team for several years, he has no intention of not joining the team in the same city. He is a player who has no ball to play. As long as a team is willing to take him in He, let alone a team from the same city, would not care even if it was a rival team from the same city.

The Tottenham district in North London has a century-old rival of Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur. Although Tottenham's performance has not been good in recent years, it has always been a mid-tier team in the Premier League. After firing Danes Frank Arnesen and Jacques Santini, the assistant coach was replaced, and Joel He performed well in the following period and gave up the defense of the Santini period. Joel eventually led the team to a ninth-place finish in the Premier League in the 2004/05 season.

Richard's next target is Tottenham Hotspur. If he can be chosen, that would be the best. If not, then there are Fulham and Charlton. What's more, there are QPR and Crystal Palace in the English Championship. Let's wait for the team, let alone Leyton Orient, Wrexham and other teams in League Two! Richard is not afraid of being rejected by London teams. He believes that as long as he can find a team that takes a fancy to him, he will soon be taken seriously!

Tottenham Hotspur, I hope you don't miss me!
