Chapter 1 New Season and Transfer Period
Wenger has been in a bad mood recently. After the end of the season, Arsenal entered the transfer period. The first thing is to sell some unnecessary players to recover funds.
Gervinho, Mannone, Giroud and others either transferred away to recover funds or rented out to play games. After a season, Wenger was completely disappointed with Gervinho, so he decisively sold Giroud. He has lost his position in the team. If he does not perform well during the loan period, he may be directly abandoned. Mannone's performance has also not been recognized by the professor.
In this transfer period, Arsenal has left/loaned a total of 17 players, including Coquelin and Arshavin. While transferring out, Wenger is also considering the issue of transfers.
After paying off the stadium loan for this year, Arsenal's transfer funds are limited to about 60 million, but this is enough.
Including the recovered funds, at least 80 million can be taken out.
With this money, Wenger also began to enter the battle for talent.
The competition for talent in the Premier League is fierce. You finish your performance and I come on stage.
It is full of ups and downs. The result is unpredictable until the end.
But Wenger is depressed.
Because he has been rejected several times in a row.
His transfers are distributed in multiple areas.
But it is mainly the defense line. Now Arsenal has enough ability in the midfield and frontcourt.
But the difference is in the defense line!
Mertesacker will not play football at all after leaving Lekai, which is a huge hidden danger.
Wenger needs to solve this problem.
For this reason, he targeted Atletico Madrid defender Demichelis, but this guy directly refused.
I don’t know what promise Manchester City made, and the rejection was very decisive.
Then he competed with Tottenham for Zirices.
After a period of tug-of-war between the two sides, because the salary conditions offered by Arsenal were not enough, this guy decisively chose Tottenham. At this time, Wenger was a little unhappy.
In the midfield and striker positions, he repeatedly encountered Navas, Strootman, Isco, and Neymar.
Wenger also tried to offer Neymar.
But the price was too high, and it was really unaffordable.
A series of setbacks made Wenger a little exhausted, and at the same time he felt a little indignant. What? Who doesn't have a genius?
Lukasz has naturally become a hot transfer this season. Although Arsenal has no intention of selling him, the offers for Lukasz are endless.
First of all, Chelsea. After Mourinho returned to Chelsea, he began to pursue Arsenal's Lukasz in the first round of offers.
The offer soared from 25 million euros to 40 million euros, but Arsenal was unmoved.
For this reason, Mourinho came out directly to seduce in the form of media.
He said that if Luka transferred to Chelsea, under his training, Luka would become a midfielder at the level of the Champions League champion. At the same time, he criticized Wenger's training method for problems, and Luka should be a defensive player. Mourinho tried every possible way, but Arsenal just wouldn't let go, which made him helpless.
Finally, he could only buy Van Ginkel to deal with it. Looking at the entire transfer market, it can be said to be ups and downs. First, there are two famous head coaches, Mourinho and Guardiola, who left La Liga at the same time and joined Chelsea in the Premier League and Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga respectively.
Barcelona has begun the post-Dream Three era, but Guardiola's assistant Vilanova is currently unable to shoulder this burden. Real Madrid has already planned it. After the joint blast of Mourinho, Ancelotti took charge of Real Madrid's coaching, and at the same time recruited a number of good players such as Bale and Isco. At present, Arsenal has not gained anything in the transfer period, and only a free transfer of Flamini joined Arsenal as Luka's substitute.
In front of a two-story building in the suburbs of London.
Lekai and Zheng Xin stood together, admiring their new home.
This is the house that Lekai rented, located in the suburbs of London, 15 minutes' drive from the training base.
The most important thing is that this house is cheap, with a weekly rent of 550 pounds.
"Brother Zheng, come to my house for dinner tonight!"
Lekai smiled and patted Zheng Xin on the shoulder.
Zheng Xin helped to find Lekai's house.
In fact, Zheng Xin was quite puzzled. Don't players live in mansions?
Why did Lekai choose such a piece of land?
"Let's go buy some daily necessities first. There is nothing in the house except the bed!" Zheng Xin said. Lekai nodded and said; "Let's go!"
Immediately, the two got into a black Audi Q7, which was a second-hand car that Lekai had just bought from the captain Vermaelen.
The captain was going to change to a new car, so Lekai bought it.
The friendly price was 20,000 pounds!
The two of them swept through the supermarket. Zheng Xin had experience living alone, so he knew what to buy. With Zheng Xin's help, Le Kai quickly completed the shopping.
The two returned home and cleaned the house again.
The two-story building is about 50 square meters in size. The place is not big, but the location is good.
There is a sports field behind the house, and there is a gym not far away. There is a large supermarket 300 meters away. Other stores are also available to meet Le Kai's daily needs.
In the evening, Zheng Xin made a sumptuous dinner.
Originally, Le Kai was going to do it, but seeing Le Kai put the chicken breast into the water and cook it, Zheng Xin decisively took the position of chef.
On this day, Le Kai no longer avoided food and ate with his cheeks open.
"Brother Zheng, your skills are good!"
Lucky ate and gave a thumbs up.
"Authentic Sichuan cuisine." Zheng Xin looked at Lucai with a smile and asked immediately, "How is the injury?"
Lucai nodded and said: "I'm almost feeling better now. I'll start going to the base for recovery training tomorrow!
"That's good!"
Hearing this, Zheng Xin breathed a sigh of relief. Le Kai was injured. Not only Zheng Xin was worried, but fans all over China were worried about it.
Originally, for this Asian qualifier, Luckai and four other overseas players all gathered to play a game. However, Luckai was injured and unable to participate in training and competition.
Although in the end, with the outstanding performance of Wang Yi, Chen Man and Liu Kairui, they still qualified for the qualifying round.
But Lucky failed to attend that game, and the midfield problem persisted.
Wang Yi and Chen Man did not receive effective support. Most of the time, Liu Kairui even needed to go between them.
There is a gap in the midfield and backcourt, and the lack of such a Lucky is enough to be depressing.
After the game, the national team head coach Liu Hongbo praised the players' performance on the court and also responded to Lucai's questions.
Said that the national team has contacted him, but due to injury problems he is unable to return to China for training but the national team has been called up. Lucai will also wear the No. 4 jersey in the national team.
Lucai was quite depressed. He was unable to participate in the Asian qualifiers. The injury came at the wrong time. Zheng Xin smiled and said, "Just wait to participate in the World Cup directly. You can't get injured again this time. For Liu Laoshuai's sake, You are worried."
"What kind of person is Coach Liu?" Le Kai asked curiously.
Zheng Xin thought for a while and said: "I used to engage in youth training within the system. After taking over the national youth team in 2002, I went from the national youth team and the national team U18 to the position of the national team head coach. The 2006 World Cup started with The national team has entered the World Cup consecutively. He is Wang Yi’s first teacher and is also China’s meritorious coach! Now he is 68, but he is very strong, not rigid, amiable, decisive and skillful, and is deeply loved by the Football Association and the General Administration of Sports. of
"Let's put it this way!" Zheng Xin said with a grin: "The current chairman of the Football Association is his student!" Lucai was silent for a moment and gave a thumbs up: "Awesome!" "
