My light shines on Arsenal

Chapter 177 When opportunity knocks on the door
"Don't be nervous, Aaron. This is just an...interview? I will teach you how to do it, and then you just need to answer according to your own ideas."

Charlotte directed her team members to set up the camera while comforting the interview subject, Aaron Ramsey.

Ramsey sat on the sofa, looking a little embarrassed.

"Okay, let's start then."

The cameraman made an OK gesture to Charlotte. Ramsey adjusted his sitting position and smiled, "Ma'am, I didn't expect the camera crew to be so interested in me."

"You're an interesting player, Aaron."

"Why do you say that?"

"You've been at Arsenal for a while. You're only 22 but you've been at Arsenal for five years."

"Yes. I've been at Arsenal since I was just an adult. Mr Arsene Wenger brought me here and he saw me."

"This team is full of Arsene Wenger."

"Yes. I am very grateful to Mr. Wenger. For a young child, a person like Wenger gives you affirmation... That is something you can't even dream of."

"Arsene Wenger is no longer the manager of Arsenal, Aaron."

"Yes, our current coach is also a very good person. He was chosen by Mr. Arsene Wenger and we all like this guy."

"If you could have a word with Arsène, what would you say?"

"Me? I would..." There was a hint of melancholy in Ramsey's eyes, "I want to say I'm sorry. I didn't become what Mr. Wenger wanted me to be, and I failed to live up to his expectations."

……

Aaron Ramsey opened his eyes.

The sound of the alarm clock rang monotonously in his bedroom. Ramsey turned off the alarm clock and got up to wash up and prepare to go to Kearney Base for training.

The temperature in the room was very comfortable. Ramsey looked out the window. The sky was gray and the wind was hitting the glass window.

"Damn the weather."

He muttered something and left the window.

Ramsey doesn't think anyone really likes the weather in London. He occasionally misses his hometown. He is Welsh. Even if he stays here for a long time, Ramsey always remembers his identity.

An hour later, Ramsey showed up at Kearney Base.

He arrived very early, and there were not many people in the base. Ramsey changed into his training equipment, took a few breaths into his palms, and trotted onto the turf.

There was no one around, he looked around and confirmed this.

Ramsey brought a football and bounced it casually a few times to warm himself up, then suddenly stopped.

He seemed to be able to see a person on this grass, that was Shi himself.

Gifted and talented.

"How could this happen..." Ramsey squatted down and gently touched his right leg.

He confirmed that his fibula and tibia were healed, but feeling the hardness of the bones through the skin and muscles, Ramsey was still in a daze.

They've broken before.

Although the doctor told himself that his leg bones were healing well and that they were stronger, his motor functions would not be affected.

But Ramsey still can't find his former self.

He is afraid of physical confrontation, he does not dare to make gorgeous moves, and he does not dare to break through his opponent with lightning speed.

Once he gets the ball, he becomes increasingly hesitant.

Since last season, Ramsey has known how criticized his performance has been.

He is not a person who is ignorant of the world. As long as he turns on his mobile phone and clicks on an article, he can see the comments made by fans about him.From being tolerant at the beginning, to gradually losing patience, and then to being ruthless.

[Arsenal should no longer believe in Ramsey, he is useless. 】

[We need to sell Ramsey while he can still sell for a certain price. 】

……

Ramsey shook his head to clear these thoughts from his mind.

He cursed secretly, his performance was already so bad, should he continue to be bad?
This season, both Jorginho and Verratti have made obvious progress.

These two players have a good sense of rhythm and overall view. They are younger than themselves, and their skills and bodies are improving rapidly.

The newly introduced Santi Cazorla is also impressive. His skills are top-notch. Ramsey has imagined the heights his skills can reach before, but Cazorla's performance tells him that his fantasy is still conservative. A little bit.

What about yourself?

What can you do to compete with these players?

……

"Aaron, do you feel good about your recent game status?"

When Chen Yao called Ramsey to the sidelines, Ramsey still couldn't figure out what the coach wanted to do with him.

"My physical condition is not bad." Ramsey smiled bitterly, "Coach, I don't have many chances to start."

"Your training status and game performance did not meet my expectations, Aaron. To be honest, I have higher expectations for you."

"Yes, coach." Ramsey looked down at his toes, "I did not perform well enough."

"You start the next game."

"Ah?" Ramsey raised his head in surprise, "Coach, what did you say? Should I start?"

"You heard that right." Chen Yao frowned, "Or do you want to recommend other candidates to me?"

"No, no..." Ramsey nodded excitedly, "I'm very happy to get this opportunity."

"Go back to training, Aaron. Remember to change into a vest."

After seeing Ramsey go back, Juan Lillo came over and asked: "Are you sure it is a suitable idea to start Aaron? He hasn't figured out his position yet."

"You also saw Thomas' physical condition. He can only play in limited games. Santi is injured again, so we can only choose Aaron."

"So is this a helpless choice?"

"Yes." Chen Yao looked away, "But that's not entirely true. I sincerely hope that Aaron can come out. When the opportunity knocks on the door, I want Aaron to understand that you can't let the opportunity slip away. "

"Coach, do you have confidence in Aaron?" Lillo said, "I'm not sure he can regain some of his past form."

"Juan, Aaron doesn't need to get back to his past state." Chen Yao said with a smile, "He will be a brand new self. He can surpass his past self. And this is our job."

……

On January [-]th, Arsenal played Manchester City away.

The Premier League has entered the second round of No. 20, and it is in the middle of the most tiring season. None of the teams are in good condition.

Arsenal's momentum was hit by injuries and fatigue, and Manchester United's winning pace was blocked many times, allowing Manchester City to gradually catch up.

Manchester City surpassed Arsenal and ranked second in the league after the last round of games. The deep player depth brought by external capital helped Manchester City withstand the pressure in the middle of the season.

At the Etihad Stadium, the meeting between the two teams was different from the beginning of the season.
