Chapter 315: Celebratory Reception

'There is no future for Arsenal. Seeing Tottenham brazenly flaunting in front of the Highbury Stadium, but the club couldn't even stop Tottenham's provocative behavior, Vieira, who had been hesitating between staying and transferring, finally made up his mind, "Continuing to stay here will only make me waste my time, and when I get old, I will be forced to accept a big salary cut, which will not bring me any benefit at all!"

As in previous lives, Vieira's affection for the Gunners, who developed into a world-class midfielder at Arsenal, is being eroded by his ambition to go further. Especially with Tottenham and Chelsea on the rise, but Arsenal in decline due to the financial pressure of building a new stadium and Arsene Wenger's stubborn transfer strategy, how can Patrick Vieira resist leaving the team to find another career?

In fact, as early as last summer, Vieira had the idea of leaving Arsenal under the recruitment of Lafayette, but Wenger was very resolute in keeping Vieira at that time, and repeatedly said in interviews that he would never let his captain go, and at the same time had a long talk with Vieira several times, making him believe that staying at Arsenal also had a chance to win the Champions League, which made Vieira temporarily suppress the idea of transferring and leaving.

And now, with Arsenal having achieved nothing on all fronts this season, and seeing that the team still has no intention of bringing in strong reinforcements in such a situation, but is ready to solve the problem of the aging first-team squad by promoting young players from within, Vieira has a feeling of being deceived!

Especially this time, Tottenham Hotspur, who had been suppressed by them, actually grabbed the Big Ears Cup in front of them, and at the same time, the club's senior management was weak in the face of Tottenham's provocation, and Vieira, who wanted to make a contribution in the Champions League, naturally would no longer have the idea of staying at Arsenal!

Similar to Vieira are the likes of Pire and Campbell, who were once relied on by Arsene Wenger and are now in their thirties, and naturally have been troubled by Arsenal in renewing their contracts with Bergkamp. In the eyes of these players, instead of being squeezed of the last vestige of their surplus value by the club in order to stay at Arsenal like Bergkamp, it is better to move to another team to earn a high salary as their pension after retirement in the future!

The king regards his ministers as mustard, and the ministers regard him as an enemy. Although Pire and the others could not have known what Mencius had said to King Qi Xuan, it did not prevent them from having the same idea - since Wenger and Arsenal you look down on us veterans and think that we have become a burden to the team, then there is no need for us to continue to work hard for Arsenal stupidly!

George naturally didn't know that his move had stimulated the nerves of Vieira and others, accelerated their departure, and greatly reduced Arsenal's cohesion. At this time, he had just finished a six-hour victory parade with nearly one million participants, and he was relaxing in the presidential suite of the Langham Hotel, gathering energy for the celebratory reception scheduled for later!

As the host of this reception, George must be in the best spirits to greet the guests he invites. Otherwise, not only will George be considered "inappropriate and impolite", but Tottenham's reputation will also be greatly affected!

In order to completely establish Tottenham Hotspur and make Tottenham truly occupy a place in high society, then George must take this upcoming celebration seriously!

Because Tottenham's victory in the Champions Cup this time has added luster to English football, which has not had any outstanding results since Manchester United's treble, and has added a lot of help to London's bid to host the 2012 Olympic Games. The FA and major sponsors also sent very important representatives to attend on time, and even the British royal family sent Prince William to congratulate him in person, in recognition of "Tottenham Hotspur's great contribution to the British sports world"!

You know, since Manchester United won the treble in the 98-99 season, the best result of the Premier League team in the Champions League is Manchester United and Leeds United in the 01-02 season and 00-01 season respectively. Although the results may seem unsatisfactory, don't forget, before Tottenham won the title, no Premier League team had reached the semi-finals of the Champions League for two consecutive seasons!

Although the league rankings of each country are not only based on the performance of the country's teams in the Champions League, in fact, in people's minds, in addition to the overall competitiveness of the league itself, can measure the level of each country's leagues, is how far the teams of each country can go in the Champions Cup!

As for the UEFA Cup and later the so-called Europa League, what were they? Aside from the eventual champions, most neutral fans probably wouldn't care about the outcome of any of the matches!

The best example of this is Sevilla. Don't look at the Sevilla in the previous life, it almost turned the League Cup into the "Sevilla Cup", but in terms of fame and status in European football, it is not even as strong as Atletico Madrid, which rose strongly after the arrival of Simeone, winning a Champions League runner-up and a La Liga title!

Why did the Bundesliga in the previous life surpass Serie A, which had long been left behind in the standings, after 2010, to become the third league in Europe? It is because since then, no team in Serie A has been able to perform in the Champions Cup, while the Bundesliga has at least one team in the Champions League semi-finals every year!

Not to mention, now that the competition between London and Paris for the right to host the Olympic Games has reached a white-hot stage (New York and Moscow are purely making up soy sauce, and Madrid, which is very enthusiastic about the Olympic bid, has been questioned because of the bombing two months ago, the security is not enough, and the hope of success is greatly reduced), Tottenham won the Champions League trophy at this time, which undoubtedly greatly suppressed the morale of the Paris side, so that London has more confidence to compete for the right to host the Olympic Games!

It is precisely because of Tottenham's status after winning the Champions Cup, but also because of Tottenham's great contribution to English football and British sports, and George's attitude towards this club, that so many celebrities and high-level people will come to the meeting, and the British royal family will give such face this time, let Prince William, the second heir to the British throne, come to celebrate. Otherwise, with Tottenham's current status, the royal family would not need to send such a high-level representative to come forward!

Therefore, for Tottenham, this celebration is undoubtedly a great opportunity to expand their power and network. As long as Marotta and John Smith are not stupid, then after this reception, not only will Tottenham's financial revenue rise a lot, but the position of the boss of London football will only be in Tottenham's pocket!
