Chapter 116, The Value of a Veteran
When the Arsenal fans began to leave the field, the Manchester United players were cheering on the pitch, celebrating this somewhat hard-won victory.
But Li Ao did not celebrate the goal with his teammates.
Rooney wanted to go to Li Ao to celebrate the victory, but suddenly found that there was no one around him.
I searched around but couldn't find it. After searching around again, I saw Li Ao walking over with his upper body in his hands, holding a yellow Arsenal away jersey.
"Where have you been... Huh? Did you exchange jerseys?"
Li Ao nodded.
"Yeah, I ran to exchange jerseys."
Rooney laughed, "It's rare, I remember you rarely take the initiative to exchange jerseys with someone.
"Of course, there are not many opponents who are worthy of exchanging jerseys with me!"
Li Ao said this very proudly.
"Then, let me see, who is eligible to exchange jerseys with you..."
Rooney snatched the jersey from Li Ao's hand, they all looked at it, and then made a sound of sudden realization.
"Oh, him!"
The name of the player --- Van Persie was printed on the jersey he held in his hand.
Van Persie was looking down at the red Manchester United shirt in his hands as Li Ao walked back to celebrate with his 23 teammates.
It was just exchanged from Li Ao with his own jersey.
He was in a bad mood after losing the game, and planned to leave as soon as the game was over. But Li Ao stopped him.
"Exchanging jerseys?"
He was quite surprised by Li Ao's request.
He didn't swap jerseys by accident, it's something he's done ninety times out of a hundred in his career.
He was surprised by the request to exchange jerseys.
Li Ao is one of the three best players in the world...even though he is so young.
Only others ask him to exchange jerseys, and it is rare to hear that he actively seeks someone to exchange jerseys.
Maybe he thinks that there are few people in this world worthy of him actively exchanging jerseys?
I didn't expect that he would take the initiative to exchange jerseys...
What is this?
In the process of exchanging jerseys, the two people did not talk warmly and cordially like friends.
It was Li Ao who came up and took off the jersey and handed it to Van Persie.
"Come on, let's exchange jerseys, Van Persie."
He said so.
He didn't say lines like "I appreciate you" or "You're amazing".
Van Persie didn't say anything, he lowered his head and took off his jersey, took his jersey from Li Ao's hand, and then put his own jersey in Li Ao's hand.
Then Li Ao waved the jersey in his hand at him, turned and walked away.
In this way, the two completed the ceremony of exchanging jerseys
"Yo, it's him."
Rooney handed the jersey back to Li Ao.
"Didn't you guys say anything really nasty but boring? Like, 'You're so amazing, I adore you' or something like that?"
Li Ao rolled his eyes:
"She's not a nympho girl!"
Wenger was proud and proud of the team's performance after the game.
….We came close to winning this game once, but...you know, we were up against Manchester United and they had a... er, monster. I'm so proud of Robin's performance, you all say he's old, but to me, Robin, who is twenty years old, hasn't reached the point where he's going to talk about it. …
Mourinho admitted that Arsenal created a lot of trouble for his team at the beginning.
"We almost lost, if Li Ao hadn't scored a goal before the first half...I agree with this statement, Li Ao is our key man. We really rely on him , it's nothing to be ashamed of..."
Robin van Persie also mentioned his performance in this game in the interview at the end of the game.
"To score two goals, I'm happy. But the team loses, there's nothing to be happy about... Li Ao? He's a very good player... Yes , he came to me to exchange jerseys, but we didn't say anything. …
Li Ao was also asked by reporters about exchanging jerseys.
It is really rare for him to take the initiative to exchange jerseys, and the reporters are keenly aware that this is a news.
Li Ao felt that the reporters made a fuss out of a molehill.
"Yeah, we swapped jerseys, but that's normal...
"But I remember you very, very rarely offered to swap jerseys..."
Some reporters expressed doubts.
"It's simple, it's because I haven't found anyone who is qualified for me to exchange jerseys with him!"
Wow! What a big breath!
This is the first reaction of many reporters.
But soon they all nodded - he did have the right to say so.
Wenger comforted captain Robin van Persie on the way to the South Hotel after the press conference.
He didn't know how Li Ao commented on Van Persie. He was worried that this defeat would affect Van Persie's belief in staying in the team-Arsenal had such a wonderful start at home, they could win Manchester United.
This shows that there is a strength gap between Arsenal and Manchester United.
If Arsenal wants to win the championship in England, especially the league championship, Manchester United is an unavoidable opponent.
He is afraid that the failure of the 127 game will make Van Persie doubt his prospects of staying in the team [worried that if he continues to stay, he will still get nothing. …
Although the two parties are only short of signing, the agreed contract is just a piece of waste paper before signing.
"Don't take this game seriously, Robin. In fact, your performance is very good... I firmly believe that under your leadership, the team has a chance..."
Van Persie shook his head.
"I don't care, boss. Manchester United are really strong, and if we are going to break through in the league, they are a very strong enemy. But... I have confidence in my team-mates. And, It's really fun to play against Li Ao!"
Van Persie, who had already taken a bath, was already dressed neatly. He put on a shirt and jeans. He didn't look like a football player at all, but more like a movie star, exuding charming charm all over his body.
But he was still clutching the Manchester United jersey that was soaked in sweat and exuded a sweaty smell that was incompatible with his perfume.
Wenger looked at him and noticed the black Manchester United shirt in his hand.
He thought for a while, then patted Van Persie on the shoulder, "Thank you."
Van Persie really can't leave anymore, after leaving, he will have no leader, so what is the difference between this team and a loose sand?
So he would like to thank Van Persie for finally choosing to stay and share weal and woe with Arsenal. .
