The child was already asleep in the cradle, and Arshavin was enjoying the two of them with his wife, Yulia, when the phone rang.

Arshavin ignored the phone, and both he and his wife Yulia had reached a critical moment.

However, the phone ringtone continued to ring stubbornly.

Arshavin glanced at the call, and it was his agent, Joel Smith, calling.

"It's Joel. Arshavin glanced at his wife apologetically, the agent is the closest collaborator of the player, to some extent, even closer than the family, so late, his agent called, Arshavin knew that it must be a very important thing.

"Is there anything you can't contact during the day?" Yulia, who was lying under her, pinched Arshavin's Tintin with some unpleasantness, wrapped in a blanket and went to the bathroom, leaving her personal space to her husband.

She is not an unreasonable person and knows what is important.

***********

"Joel, I hope you'll give me a reason to call at this time. He answered the phone angrily and said as he gave his wife an apologetic kiss.

"I'm sorry, Andrey, this time is calling. But I think this news should be the first to tell you. Agent Smith could guess that he might have disturbed Arshavin's sweet time, but he believed that the news he was about to tell would make all of Arshavin's unhappiness disappear.

As Arshavin's agent, no one knows Arshavin's ideas better than Joel Smith, who has been playing for Zenit St. Petersburg for ten years, and for Arshavin, who is already 26 years old, he will not play in the mainstream European leagues, and the chances will become smaller and smaller.

"Alright, you name it, Joel. Arshavin took his mobile phone and walked to the window, it was snowy outside, but the house was warm like spring, even a little hot, the heating pipe was very hot, and the walls on this side were a little hot.

"About ten minutes ago, I got a call from Inter Milan. Joel Smith said.

"Inter Milan?!" Arshavin was stunned, surprise flashed in his eyes, and he immediately asked.

"Yes, Serie A giants Inter Milan!" said Joel Smith, "it was Inter Milan's assistant coach Mr. Pablo Banderas who called. ”

"Really?" Arshavin subconsciously replied, hearing that it was not a call from Leon, he was a little disappointed, the assistant coach called and the head coach called in person, in his opinion, this represents some obscure attitude, of course, the assistant coach also represents the will and attitude of the head coach.

"During the call, Mr. Leon also came to communicate with me! He said that he appreciated you. Praise you for being the best player in Russia and one of the best midfielders in Europe!" Joel Smith said with a little smugness and ostentation, knowing what Arshavin was up to. He is proud that his clients can be admired and praised by that champion coach.

***********

"Did Mr. Leon really say that?" Arshavin asked in surprise.

"Of course!" said Joel Smith, "I received a message from Inter Milan that they had sent a fax to Zenit St. Petersburg asking for you, but Mr. Advocaat rejected it outright. ”

"What?" Arshavin was stunned, then angry, "They hid it, why didn't they inform me?!"

Arshavin is indeed very angry, this is not that he is disloyal to Zenit St. Petersburg, on the contrary, Arshavin has played for Zenit St. Petersburg for ten years, it can be said that he is loyal, although Arshavin expressed his desire to play in a European giant's club, but he did not sneak in, but confessed his wish to the club, he hopes that the club can understand him, and if there is an invitation from other clubs, he hopes to discuss with the club to find a mutually acceptable solution, to some extent, this is the most suitable solution。

However, the Inter Milan club sent a request for purchase, but the club directly rejected it, did not inform him, and asked him for his opinion, which made Arshavin very angry.

"Yes, obviously, the club is hiding it, they don't need to let you go at this time. Joel Smith said, "This is against the tacit agreement between you and the club! I can tell from Mr. Leon's words that he admires you very much, Andre, that's Inter Milan, coach Leon, the best team, the best coach! Don't you always want to play in the big clubs, this is an opportunity! An opportunity not to be missed!"

Arshavin fell silent, he understood what the agent meant, and the agent understood his thoughts, persuaded him to go to Inter Milan, and at the same time, hinted that he pressured Zenit St. Petersburg to let him go.

It's just that since the youth team, since he was young, he has been playing for Zenit St. Petersburg, Arshavin has a deep relationship with the team, and he is also the captain of the team.

***********

By this time, Arshavin's wife, Yulia, had already dressed up in her pajamas, poured a glass of water, and handed it to him.

Arshavin took his wife's hand and thanked him.

"Andre, you communicated with the club, if there is really an offer from the right club, they agree to let you go, this is something that has been negotiated in the first place, you have been playing for Zenit St. Petersburg for so long, it's time to leave. The most important thing is that this is Inter Milan, the team of champion coach Leon, and this is a very rare opportunity!" persuaded Joel Smith.

"Inter Milan is indeed very good, and Coach Leon is a top coach, but, Joel, do you think Inter Milan is suitable for me?" Arshavin asked, forcing himself to calm down in the face of this sudden surprise, after all, this is a matter of his own career and needs to be considered.

Joel Smith knows Arshavin very well, he knows that Arshavin is 100% motivated, and if he asks this, he just needs to get support from his mouth, but he needs to push it a little more.

"We are no strangers to Inter Milan and coach Leon, I believe Andre you have also followed Inter Milan, this team plays very aggressively, plays beautifully, different from those dull Italian teams, very suitable for your characteristics, this, in the phone, Mr. Banderas also said, of course, the most important thing is Mr. Leon's attitude, he likes you!"

"And what do you think I should do?" Arshavin asked.

Hearing Arshavin say this, Joel Smith knew that Arshavin had made his choice.

"I think we need to have a good talk with Zenit. Joel Smith said, "As for Inter, I'll keep in touch and express your attitude to them. ”

"Okay, I'll leave it to you. "I still hope that I don't get too stiff with the team!"

"I'll take notice. Joel Smith said, however, Arshavin can hear that he is insincere, Leon has taken a fancy to Arshavin, this offer is too important for Arshavin, which means that Arshavin's career will cross a step to a new height, and he Joel Smith will also benefit a lot from this, whether it is money or influence factors, all prompt him to promote this transfer, even if he fell out with Zenit St. Petersburg, he did not hesitate, unlike Arshavin and Zenit St. Petersburg, Joel Smith is an agent, and he only has interests in his eyes.

***********

"What's wrong, honey?" asked Yulia as she saw her husband hanging up the phone, frowning in thought.

Arshavin once relied on a teddy bear to capture the heart of his wife Yulia, and now the two have children, and their marriage and family are very happy.

"There's a club that has sent me an offer," Joel said. Arshavin said.

"Which club?" said Yulia, who was also concerned, after all, once Arshavin moved to a new club, it meant that the family would have to 'migrate' with them.

"Inter. Arshavin said.

"Oh God!" Yulia exclaimed, a look of surprise, "It's Lee's team, Inter Milan, who won the European championship the year before." ”

"Yes. Arshavin nodded, a little strange that his wife reacted so much, "What is your opinion?"

"This is your chance, Andre!" Yulia said immediately, "Coach Leon is a true champion coach, and in his team, you have a chance to stand on top of Europe!"

"Unexpectedly, even you are a fan of Mr. Leon. Arshavin was amazed and looked at his wife.

"Don't you know?" Yulia said with a smile.

"Sports Illustrated" once named Lee the most xing star coach of the year. Yulia said.

"Uh, okay. Arshavin smiled wryly, Sports Illustrated is a sports gossip outlet in Russia.

"Shall we continue?" Yulia lay in her husband's arms and pinched Arshavin's Tintin with a look of longing.

"Why do you feel again?" Arshavin laughed.

***********

Leon soon received the news that Arshavin had made an open showdown with Zenit St. Petersburg and expressed his desire to play for Inter Milan.

Naturally, the Zenit side of St. Petersburg did not want to let Arshavin go at this time, and the two sides fell into a stalemate.

At this time, the Inter Milan club continued to maintain communication with Zenit St. Petersburg officials on the one hand, and kept in close contact with Arshavin on the other.

In fact, to this extent, Leon is no longer worried that Arshavin will not be in his bowl, and in the case of player transfers, the player's personal will is becoming more and more important.

As long as the players are done, the transfer is generally half the battle.

The rest of the work, Leon handed over to the club to go through Oriari to communicate and negotiate with the Russian side.

The team has already started training for the second half of the season and is preparing for the second half of the 2007/2008 Serie A season.

They will first win the 18th round of the league against Siena, with Inter Milan playing away.

***********

13 January, Stade Franquia, Siena.

“！”

The voice of the commentator Ferrari rang out on the TV, "Diego Milito! He came off the bench to score, it was Diego Milito's first goal since returning from injury, it was a perfect comeback! 3-1! Inter Milan lead Siena 3-1 away! Milito sealed the win for Inter!"

In the first half, Inter Milan led Siena 2-0 away thanks to goals from Luka Modric and Juan Mata.

In the second half, Siena pulled a point back.

In the 71st minute of the game, Leon replaced Adriano, who was relatively quiet today, with Diego Milito, the Argentine's state after returning from injury was somewhat average, and several attempts to get rid of the ball were unsuccessful, however, Diego Milito still showed his keen sense of goal, Muntari bombarded the goal to cause the Siena goalkeeper to get out of his hands, and Diego Milito's clever follow-up shot scored to seal the victory for Inter Milan.

In the end, the final score of the game was 3-1, with Inter Milan winning away at Siena thanks to goals from Mata, Luka Modric and Diego Milito, three former Sporting Gijón players.

With the win, Inter Milan continued their winning streak of games in a record and are now on an eighteen-game winning streak to continue their best ever 'start' to the league of any team in Serie A.

***********

The day after the match with Siena, Leon received news from Oryari that Arshavin had almost fallen out with Zenit St. Petersburg FC, and that Arshavin had published an open letter without obtaining transfer permission, which was tantamount to saying goodbye to Zenit St. Petersburg fans in advance.

If it was his own players who did such a thing, Li Ang would definitely be angry, but now, he is happy to see it.

Arshavin's statements and actions allowed Inter Milan to take the initiative in this deal.

Oriyari said that Zenit St. Petersburg has stopped refusing to negotiate with Inter Milan, and now the two sides are starting to bargain.

Two days later, in the second leg of the quarter-finals of the 2007/2008 Coppa Italia, Inter Milan hosted Reggina at home.

In the first leg, Inter Milan beat Reggina 4-1 away, so there is hardly any doubt that Inter Milan will qualify for this game.

In this situation, Leon made a significant rotation of the team's starting line-up, with the likes of Leonardo Bonucci, Muntari, Marchisio and the likes of Diego Milito and Cassano, who had just recovered from injury, given the chance to start.

Inter Milan, who had been heavily rotated, were not conservative and the players were more eager to win the approval of manager Leon through the Coppa Italia appearance, and in the end, Inter Milan beat Reggina 3-0 at home to advance to the quarter-finals of the 2007/2008 Coppa Italia season with a two-legged aggregate score of 7-1.

And on the day of the end of the game, Leon received a call from Oriari, and the transfer of Inter Milan's introduction of Arshavin was completed.
