It sounds like Arsenal is on the path to making history.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Billy nodded after some thought, \"Okay. It does have a nice ring to it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meadows leaned back a little into his seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That said, yesterday's match was too intense. Paris Saint-Germain were very good in the first half.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's their goalkeeper who stood out,\" Billy replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Same thing. He is part of PSG,\" Meadows shrugged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sirigu doesn't usually perform like that in the league,\" Billy said bitterly. \"I thought the Arsenal curse almost got us for a moment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You and your superstitious mind. The man was just that good.\" Meadows said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then I guess teams without long histories or major honours tend to be like that,\" Billy said with a slight curl of his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meadows went quiet for a moment, then said, \"Arsenal is like that too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Billy frowned. \"Hey.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meadows raised a hand. \"I know what you're going to say. But outside the Premier League, we don't actually have that many honours.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We won the European Cup Winners' Cup, but that competition has been scrapped. It's nothing more than tin foil now .\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Billy, not giving up, continued. \"We will have them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I believe that too,\" Meadows shifted the topic. \"Recently, a lot of old figures have been speaking out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Billy smiled. \"Because Arsenal is back in focus. They're coming out to enjoy the moment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arsenal's strong Champions League form had brought several club legends back into the spotlight. Henry, Vieira, Bergkamp, and Tony Adams all featured in recent interviews.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tony Adams' words, in particular, carried weight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I still love that red and white shirt after 13 years,\" he said. \"I often think back to those days at Highbury.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The current Arsenal is very good. In fact, better than ever.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There is vitality, courage, trust, and something we did not always feel in the past.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This season feels different. I cannot fully explain it, but something significant feels close. Of course, I may just be imagining it, but I am still forever a Gunner.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have always loved this club.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The interview quickly became a talking point among fans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adams was not just any former player. As a long-time captain and symbol of loyalty, his words carried a certain authority. Many supporters interpreted his comments as belief in a stronger Champions League presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No,\" Meadows said firmly. \"It's not Champions League spirit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Billy turned to him. \"You used to think that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I did,\" Meadows replied. \"But Arsenal already had that spirit. We've won the league before. That part has always been there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So what is it then?\" Billy asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meadows paused. \"Ambition.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Billy frowned. \"Ambition? \"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meadows looked at him. \"It's important. The old Arsenal sometimes lacked it. Ambition is what pushes a club forward.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In the past, it was beauty without edge,\" Meadows said. \"Now they can play beautifully, but when pushed, they change. They do what needs to be done by all means.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He leaned back. \"That is why people are paying attention. It feels different now. Wenger has built something new.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Billy nodded slowly. \"It really started around 2011.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meadows laughed. \"Yes. It goes back to that summer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>. . .\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Colney Training Ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Le Kai walked over to Cazorla.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey! Teach me some dribbling skills.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cazorla looked at Le Kai in surprise. \"Dribbling skills?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Le Kai nodded. \"You're the best dribbler I know. You should know how to teach this properly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cazorla immediately stood up and patted his chest. \"Leave it to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two moved to the centre of the pitch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cazorla placed the ball under his feet and demonstrated a few quick touches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's simple,\" he said. \"When you dribble, you pull the ball back, then go past the opponent, then pull it back again and go past again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He nodded as if it explained everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Le Kai stared at him. \"…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So when am I pulling it back?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cazorla blinked. \"When the opponent stretches their leg.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Footwork speed,\" Cazorla added quickly, as if that settled the matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Chamberlain walked over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pointed at Cazorla. \"His footwork is quick, and his body control is good. But dribbling is not just a few tricks. It depends on balance, acceleration, decision-making, and technical base. Everything works together.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Le Kai looked at him with slight surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chamberlain frowned. \"What is that look supposed to mean? I was part of Southampton's best wingers for a reason.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Le Kai held back a reply and turned back. \"So how do I train it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chamberlain answered immediately. \"You already are.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pat Rice had you doing footwork drills, conditioning, and turning speed work. That is the foundation of dribbling.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Le Kai waved a hand. \"Not the basics. I mean actual dribbling. How do I improve it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Use it in matches,\" Chamberlain said flatly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Le Kai opened his mouth, then closed it again. There was no argument to make.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pat Rice had said something similar before. Training builds the base; real improvement comes from games.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So I just dribble in matches?\" Le Kai asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you want to lose the ball in your own half, go ahead,\" Chamberlain said with a grin. \"If not, use it in the final third.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Le Kai sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no safe space for experimentation at the moment. Not with the schedule tightening and results carrying more weight every week.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chamberlain stretched slightly. \"Next game is Manchester United.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Le Kai looked up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At Old Trafford,\" he added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mood around them shifted slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cazorla exhaled. \"I wonder how the manager will set us up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Le Kai said nothing for a moment. The fixtures were stacking up fast, and each one felt heavier than the last.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>. . .\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Please do leave a review and powerstones, which helps with the book's exposure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feel like joining a Patreon for free and subscribing to 30+ advanced chapters?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Visit the link:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[email protected]\u002FGRANDMAESTA_30\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Change @ to a\u003C\u002Fp>",1062,"2026-06-09T07:00:21.891Z",1,"novelbin.me","b03f3fcc344aa9113ddc5180b8c0e796f5328d66cbf2318ad00a231469304cdd","foresight-chapter-389","foresight-chapter-387",405,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fforesight-cover.jpg"]
