Chapter 298: Pire's Little Abacus

"What's going on? How can those guys who didn't play get medals?!" Seeing Villa, Vermaelen and others smiling and receiving their medals from Prince Kent, Vieira's mind exploded and he shouted loudly in the audience!

"I heard that their owner had communicated with the FA in advance and paid an additional sum for the purchase of these medals. Unlike the furious Vieira, Pire looked at the Tottenham players who were collecting their medals on the stage with some envy, "But then again, Mr. Nelson is really generous, and he is willing to spend so much money on this for his players." ”

"Hmph, this is just a means used by the capitalist to buy people's hearts. Vieira snorted coldly when he heard this, and said disdainfully, "Being able to be caught by this kind of small trick shows that these people are really short-sighted, and presumably they will not have any great success in the future." ”

"Even if it was a means of winning people's hearts, Mr. Nelson would have to have the courage to do it. Even if a club like ours that places great emphasis on controlling financial spending, even if they could think of such a trick, they would probably not be willing to use it, right?" In the opinion of the French star, who has been unable to reach an agreement with Arsenal on the renewal of his contract, as long as George makes similar efforts in place, and these players at Tottenham are not ungrateful white-eyed wolves, then Tottenham's cohesion and players' loyalty to George is very likely to reach a rather terrifying level!

Not to mention anything else, it can be seen from the changes in the expressions of Villa and Ribery that George's warm offensive almost made these two players who have made up their minds to leave the team this summer so that they can fight hard for next year's World Cup in Germany almost changed their minds under impulse, and they have been working hard at Tottenham Hotspur!

In fact, not only Villa and Ribery, who played for Tottenham, had this idea, but even Arsenal players such as Pire, who were watching from the sidelines, also had a feeling of excitement at this time. After all, Arsenal, instead of blindly insisting on the contract renewal of players over 30 years old, and asking them, veterans who have made great contributions to the Gunners, to accept the harsh condition of a large salary cut, are generous and bold, and they will not hesitate to spend money in order to retain good players, and the more humane Tottenham Hotspur is obviously more suitable for players to play for!

Maybe we can make a secret contact with Tottenham to see if we can sign them as a free agent when their contract expires next year?

And so, while Arsenal fans were devastated by the team's heavy defeat in the FA Cup final, and Arsene Wenger was thinking about how to further reduce costs this summer, Pire began to secretly ponder the feasibility and pros and cons of this option!

"Robert (Pire), what are you thinking? Why don't you speak?" Vieira was as unscrupulously blacking Tottenham and George as usual, when he suddenly noticed that the compatriot standing next to him looked different, and couldn't help but be suspicious, "Hey, you shouldn't be planning to go to Tottenham on a free transfer next summer, right?

"Haha, Patrick (Vieira), what nonsense are you talking about? How could I have such an idea?" When Pire heard this, he immediately knew that Vieira was suspicious, and hurriedly defended, "Although I did say a few good things about Mr. Nelson just now, it doesn't mean that I have any plans to move to Tottenham." I don't want to be like Saul [Campbell] and end up in a situation where neither side is pleased. ”

Pire knew very well in his heart that at this time, he must not show the slightest trace in front of anyone. If nothing else, the century-old rivalry between Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur is just a matter of breaking the news that Pire intends to move to Tottenham on a free transfer, then the Frenchman's final season at Arsenal is expected to be uneventful. Not only will Arsenal fans blame him and even be violent, but Arsene Wenger will never think about giving a player who is about to join a sworn enemy!

Don't think it's impossible to happen. In England, two rivals like Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal are largely at odds with each other, with very little personnel or business communication. Even if there were, then the player would often be saddled with the title of "traitor" and become the object of disgust from fans on both sides!

The prime example is Campbell. The former Tottenham captain moved to Arsenal on a free transfer in the summer of '01, although he helped the Gunners win two Premier League titles and the FA Cup as a first-choice centre-back, but he was only recognized by Arsenal fans, not respected and loved at all.

However, unlike Campbell's transfer from Tottenham to Arsenal at the time, due to the sweetness of young players over the years, the Arsenal hierarchy and Wenger were not very concerned about renewing the contract of Pire, who is about to turn 32. This gives Pire plenty of opportunities and time to make secret contact with Tottenham without worrying too much about making Arsenal and Wenger suspicious because of the difficult delivery of his contract.

Therefore, for the sake of his own future and personal safety, before the dust settles, Piret must not leak a little bit of tone!

After the award ceremony, Arsenal, who had played their final official game of the season, were disbanded on the spot at Arsene Wenger's command. The players packed their bags and embarked on the long-awaited holiday journey - most of them were ready to wash away the fatigue of their bodies with a wonderful holiday and welcome the new 05-06 season with a new mental outlook!

On the other hand, although the 5-1 win over local rivals Arsenal and the FA Cup victory made the Tottenham players happy, the players simply celebrated on the spot and then returned to London overnight. Because everyone knows in their hearts that now is not the time to celebrate: in five days' time, they will be competing with Serie A giants AC Milan in faraway Istanbul for the Big Ears Cup, the highest honour for European clubs!

If they get too excited about just one FA Cup title, which delays the team's preparations for the Champions League final, and finally passes by the Big Ears Cup, then they will be crying without tears!
