Chapter 1174 New Year and New Teammates
January 1st, entering a new year, the whole of London has also entered a new look.
First of all, the sanitation workers were dispatched to clean up the entire city, and the second was to rectify the football market and some thorny fans.
Without these pollutions, London has become much quieter and more peaceful.
London is still very cold in winter.
Although the temperature is around 1 degree, under the cold wind, it gives people a feeling of continuous cold and nowhere to hide.
Europeans seldom install air conditioners, and the cost of diesel heating is very high, so they are not willing to spend money on it.
For this reason, Europeans spend most of their winters on hard resistance, or some richer ones spend their winters on natural gas.
In Heathrow Airport, Dembele, wearing a thick down jacket, stepped off the plane.
The first thing I felt was a burst of cold.
Compared to Barcelona, where the weather is maintained at around 8 or 9 degrees, it is obviously colder here.
For this reason, he specially bought a long down jacket to arm himself.
January 1st, the winter transfer window opens.
The previous loan contract between Arsenal and Barcelona also came into effect, and Dembele rushed to London non-stop.
He doesn't want to miss any training session here.
In Barcelona, the bench has done a lot. He came to Arsenal to prove himself and seek new opportunities.
"It's so cold in here!"
Dembele put his hands in his pockets and turned to look at his agent.
The weather in London is like this, of course, the summer here is not as hot as in Barcelona!
After the manager finished speaking briefly, they saw a burly man holding a sign in the lobby.
With a bald head, a woolen coat, a full face, and a burly body, he looks like a bodybuilder.
"over there!"
The agent pointed, and the two quickly walked over.
"Hello, I'm Dembele!"
Dembele took the initiative to say hello.
The man laughed and walked over to hug Dembele.
Dembele was overwhelmed by the enthusiasm.
"My name is Martin Hughes. I am the manager of the Arsenal team. If you encounter any problems with the team, you can find me, except for training, of course."
Martin Hughes pointed behind him and said, "Then shall we go?"
Dembele nodded.
The three came to the underground parking lot. Martin Hughes sat in the driver's seat, turned his head and smiled and said, "This is the second time I've picked up a player. Guess who the first player I picked up was?"
Dembele looked at his agent, and they looked at each other.
"That's right! It's Kay!"
Martin Hughes was almost asking himself, he laughed; "I still remember it was a bad day, I was in the car complaining about Cesc Fabregas that bitch, Kay was sitting next to me, silently Listen, he was composed and that composure made him captain of Arsenal!"
For Martin Hughes, taking Lucky from the airport to the training base and becoming the first person to contact Lucky made him very proud.
"We have a good record and a good performance now, but looking back seven or eight years ago, that period was really difficult to maintain. At that time, I couldn't even imagine such a day! Hahahahahaha! Manchester City, Tottenham, Chelsea, Liverpool , Manchester United are our losers."
"Watched that game? We beat Manchester United 3:1 away! This is great."
Martin Hughes was chattering all the way, but it didn't bother them.
After all, silence is the most depressing environment.
"Mr. Mourinho is waiting for you two!"
Now Dembele and his agent are interested.
The agent quickly asked; "Mr. Mourinho has the idea of renewing the contract with us?"
The agent believes that Martin Hughes, as the team manager, should know some inside information.
But Martin Hughes shook his head and said; "I don't know, this is a matter for the first team, we can't intervene, and he won't tell us, but"
Martin Hughes turned to look at Dembele and said, "If you perform well, we will renew or even buy out your contract."
Dembele scratched his head. In fact, he has no idea of staying at Arsenal, at least so far.
Soon, the three arrived at the training base.
Along the way, the road is smooth and the time is shortened a lot.
Martin Hughes led the two into the office building and went directly to Mourinho's office.
Knock!
Boom boom!
"Come in!"
Martin Hughes pushed the door in and said, "Sir, we brought them here."
Mourinho was lowering his head to process some documents, and he waved at them without raising his head. Martin Hughes immediately understood.
"Let's go to the conference room first and wait, sir will arrive later."
After finishing speaking, the three of them walked out of the office and came to the meeting room next door.
It is not so much a meeting room as a living room.
The decoration is still very good.
Arsenal's team logo can be seen everywhere, but it is not the kind of messy feeling, but carefully designed.
Martin Hughes pulled out a tea set from the side and made a pot of tea.
"Try it, this is the tea Kai brought from his hometown, it's still delicious."
Dembele nodded, took a sip, his eyes lit up.
When he was in Barcelona, he tasted Macy's yerba mate.
But then he stopped drinking it. He couldn't stand the strong taste of yerba mate, but compared to that kind of tea, this one is much sweeter and refreshing.
And the quilt for drinking tea is also more delicate.
Dembele took a sip.
Seeing that Dembele likes to drink, Martin Hughes smiled and said: "I can bring you some when I go back later."
"Thank you!" Dembele thanked him sincerely.
Squeak!
At this time, the sound of the door opening sounded.
Mourinho pushed the door open.
Dembele and his agent became nervous instantly.
After all, the man in front of him is a world-renowned coach, and he is also the head coach of Arsenal, who is now invincible.
After Mourinho took his seat, he raised his legs and looked at Dembele and said, "I'm not good at talking nonsense, so let's just say it directly. You will be Aubameyang's substitute. Of course, the substitute can also become the starter. , it depends on your performance."
"My purpose of renting you is very simple. We need a stronger left-wing breakthrough, and your ability on the wing makes my heart move. But I don't like your current way of playing football." Mourinho frowned; "Too weak!"
Dembele pursed his lips and asked, "How do you want me to play football?"
There was no rebuttal or complaint, but a direct question.
Mourinho likes this character.
"Just like you are in Dortmund, become a breakthrough on the wing, and the team will give you enough support for this."
Dembele nodded confidently; "I will not let you down."
Mourinho got up and was about to leave, Dembele said quickly; "I have prepared some things."
Mourinho turned to look at Dembele.
I saw the latter take out a piece of paper from his backpack.
"It's been nearly half a month. I combined my abilities with the Arsenal team to make some information. I hope it can be helpful to you."
Mourinho looked at Dembele in surprise.
It was the first time he saw a player send his own information.
It's like saying 'here's what you can do for the team right now'.
This active performance is still very novel.
Mourinho took over the document: "I will read it, but how to play football depends on the arrangement of the coaching staff."
"I understand! I will obey the arrangement!"
Dembele's attitude is very good.
After Mourinho left, Dembele let out a sigh of relief.
"We should go back."
The manager also nodded.
Martin Hughes: "I'll see you off, have you found a place to live?"
"I found it, I will send you the address."
After taking the address, Martin Hughes raised his eyebrows slightly.
The agent smiled.
"It's really a good place."
Martin Hughes shrugged with a smile and said, "Let's go."
The address chosen by Dembele is not Canary Wharf, where the land is very expensive, nor is it any rich London area such as Battersea.
It is a detached villa in the suburbs.
But what's interesting is that there are a lot of Arsenal players living in this neighborhood.
Among them are Lucky, Kante, Giroud and other players
But the most interesting thing is that Dembele's villa address is 205-2.
Lucky's address is 205-1, and Kanter's is 205-3.
This guy is just in the middle of the two.
