"Actually, I would have preferred £4,500!"

In Hillwood's chairman's office, vice-chairman David Dane and manager Arsene Wenger sat on the sofa, and the atmosphere was not harmonious.

David Dayne's words left Hillwood pondering, while Arsene Wenger became anxious as Mr. Chairman called the two over to discuss Quaresma's contract extension.

Deep-pocketed Chelsea have raised their offer for Quaresma to £4,500, which is already more than €6,500 if converted into euros based on the exchange rate!

This figure is only less than the value of Zizou when he transferred to Real Madrid, ranking second in the transfer fee record.

For Arsenal, this is definitely a huge sum of money that can alleviate all the financial crises!

Moreover, with the crazy momentum of Quaresma now, even if he opens his mouth a little harder, it is estimated that Chelsea can accept it, and if he doesn't get Quaresma, he will directly break Zidane's transfer record!

David Dane, as the club's vice-president, is also in charge of finance, so he feels that selling Quaresma now is the best option.

As for results, that's what Wenger needs to worry about!

"We can't do that unless we don't want the championship!" Wenger reversed his usual gentle posture, slammed the table, and said angrily.

'I'll admit that building a new stadium will put our finances on the line, but first we have to be clear that no matter what form the team is in, our goal is to win the title, the Premier League, the Champions League, that's what all the Gunners are looking for!'

"If we have to sell even the most dangerous star in the team, and it's for money, then how aggressive do we have?"

"To have Quaresma is to have a championship, which is far from £4,500!"

"We can't even explain it to the fans!"

'Why did Chelsea pay £4,500 for Quaresma, because Quaresma is worth more than that, and everyone else is constantly looking for ways to improve, while we can only think of selling players to subsidize the finances?'

"It's ridiculous!"

"Gentlemen, remember that we are a football club, not a profit-seeking company!"

"If you really want to sell Quaresma, then it means that you don't want to win the championship at all, and there is no need for me to stay here!"

......

Hillwood scratched his head, and for David Dane and Arsene Wenger, who had a clear stance, Hillwood seemed to be much more entangled.

He naturally knows what Quaresma means to Arsenal, if there is no Quaresma, there will be no Champions League title for Arsenal, and if he sells Quaresma, I am afraid that Arsenal's competitiveness will plummet, and from then on, it will gradually drift away from the championship honor.

But Arsenal is poor, poverty is the original sin, and poverty does not have the confidence to say no to the sky-high transfer fee.

That's £4,500!

With this money, Arsenal will have a much better life, at least without tightening their belts.

So, Hillwood is torn!

"Stay, at least for another year, at least Quaresma still has good commercial value!" It took a long time for Hillwood to sigh and make a difficult decision.

"David, you can go to a sponsor to increase the sponsorship fee, the first person in world football is at Arsenal, this is the confidence of Arsenal to attract the attention of the world!"

Hearing Hillwood's answer, David Dane did not press the palace again, but nodded.

If he wasn't short of money, how could he be willing to sell Quaresma!

In that case, let's let those sponsors vomit some blood!

Little did anyone know that in Hailewood's office, Quaresma's fate was almost decided.

......

At this time, Quaresma is training hard with the team to reserve physical fitness, because in the summer World Cup, most of the players have not been fully rested, if they can't do a good job of physical reserves, then the new season will be a mess.

Quaresma's physical fitness is not outstanding, but now it is by no means a laggard, and it is not a problem to persist for a season, so he still has to focus more on strengthening and improving his skills and tactics.

Host: Quaresma

Age: 23

Speed attribute: 96.51

Strength attribute: 82.19

Stamina attribute: 84.42

Reaction Attribute: 85.10

Dribbling capacity: 96.54

Passing ability: 82.91

Shooting ability: 85.76

Defensive ability: 40.88

Teamwork: 69.65

Injury propensity: 30.00

......

That's what Quaresma is right now, and it's a slight improvement from before the World Cup, much faster than it was during the league period.

Maybe it's because the World Cup is more trained, so the rate of increase is faster!

With such a dazzling attribute, I'm afraid even Xiao Luo can only bow to the wind!

Even the most urgent need to improve the teamwork ability is close to 70, which is barely the median standard for professional players, and if you improve a little more, it will not be a lag!

As for the defense...... Quaresma doesn't count on it anymore!

But strangely, Quaresma didn't notice, and I don't know when one more attribute suddenly appeared - injury tendency.

Could it be that the system suddenly updated the patch in the dead of night?

So why not add a little bit of a lottery function or a redemption function to yourself?

Injury tendency, as the name suggests, probably means that you are easy to get hurt easily, can this be improved?

Is it true that the higher the propensity to injury, the less likely it is to get injured?

The point is, there is no way to test this in practice!

Moreover, Quaresma didn't know how to improve his injury propensity......

There are traces of the improvement of other attributes, such as iron can increase strength, watching videos can increase team cooperation, running can increase physical attributes, and so on.

Do you have to constantly self-harm to increase your tendency to be injured?

Take a knife and play with self-harm?

It's scary to think about!

However, Quaresma roughly understands the meaning of the system, on the basis of his own getting stronger and stronger, his attributes are enough to ensure that he achieves more honors, but if he is injured, it is not a problem that can be solved by strong attributes!

Therefore, it increases the tendency to be injured, reduces the probability of injury, ensures attendance, and ensures the results to a certain extent!

Well, the system should be considered painstaking, although Quaresma has always felt that the system is unreliable, but at least it is for his own sake!

I didn't think of the right way to improve, and Quaresma didn't dare to harm himself, in case he was ruthless and played with himself again, it would be interesting!

In general, according to the current growth rate, it will not take one season for him to definitely stand out in world football, and in two seasons, he will be able to shake off the peerless double pride, and at that time, he will really want what he wants!

......

The transfer market is turbulent, and every summer, there are incredible transfers.

Juve was relegated, the main players were divided up almost, Vieira naturally could not play in Serie B, and Juve also needed to sell Vieira to save wages, so Vieira's departure from the Old Lady has become inevitable.

Many Arsenal fans are clamoring for Arsenal to buy Patrick Vieira back.

Arsenal's midfield is well known, and it's no secret that the world is looking for a midfielder, so what better fit than Patrick Vieira, who has been playing for Arsenal?

Vieira also maintained a good form at Juventus last season, even if he returns to Arsenal, he does not need to be integrated, seamless integration, and can directly support Arsenal's midfield backbone!

This is indeed the most suitable person.

However, if Vieira is needed, then why did Arsenal sell him last season?

Age, wages, these are all obstacles that limit Vieira's return to Arsenal!

Patrick Vieira can't stand the one-year-a-renewal clause policy, and at the same time, his salary package is not what Arsenal want to afford!

Moreover, even if there is a discount in a year, Arsenal will need a transfer fee close to 1,000 euros if they want to buy back Vieira, which is almost all of Arsenal's transfer budget this summer!

So, no matter how eager the fans are, Vieira's return to Arsenal is almost impossible to become a reality.

Unless there is a local tyrant who takes a fancy to Arsenal at this time, quickly cuts through the chaos and succeeds in the acquisition, and then invests a huge amount of money, maybe Vieira can come back!

However, this possibility is simply less likely than Quaresma's cheating!

In this regard, Quaresma can only lament, sometimes people are always helpless, reality is reality, and it will never be as good as it gets.

Moreover, he also felt that even if Vieira returned, I am afraid that the French would not be the iron waist they once were, and it was still unknown how much combat power they could exert.

If you don't kick it out with great expectations, won't it be too late?

So, that's pretty good!

So, in this way, Vieira soon joined Inter Milan, and the possibility of returning to Arsenal was completely blocked.

This transfer deal naturally caused a great shock, and countless Arsenal fans cried bitterly and couldn't help but miss the old captain, but unfortunately, everything has become a thing of the past.

However, at this time, Quaresma still got bad news!

Failed to buy Yaya Toure!

Arsenal's offer of 500 euros for Yaya Toure is very dissatisfied with the Monaco side, and Monaco's estimate of Yaya Toure's value is at least more than 1,000 euros.

However, Arsenal are unwilling to pay more transfer fees for a young player, which is an irreconcilable contradiction.

So, even though Colo Toure persuaded his brother to join Arsenal, the deal ultimately failed.

Even if Arsenal proposes a new plan, after Yaya Toure transfers to Arsenal, Arsenal can loan Alexander Song to Monaco to fill the vacancy in the squad after Yaya Toure's departure, but Monaco just does not agree to Yaya Toure's departure.

Then, Arsenal also gave up Yaya Toure and turned their target to Rosicky, the Czech player who was very optimistic before, and Wenger's stubbornness reappeared, he believes that Rosicky's style is very compatible with Arsenal, and he has every chance to become a new generation of midfield masters.

Gossip was circulating at the training base, and Quaresma knew that if the trajectory of his previous life was followed, the arsenal had indeed brought Rosicky from Hornet to Highbury.

It's just that Rosicky is a genius, but too many injuries have affected his progress, and in the end he even became a glass man for a time, completely missing the fans' expectations of him.

Moreover, Arsenal do not need players of Rosicky's style very much, and if they only insist on beautiful football, there is a high probability that they will not win the championship.

Therefore, Quaresma is very unoptimistic about this transfer!

But in any case, Arsenal didn't sell people on a big spree, and they didn't start a fire sale mode regardless of the team's results, which is enough for Quaresma to stay here!

In any case, with the current squad, Quaresma still has a chance to lead Arsenal to compete for honors, at most a little tired, not completely unmoved.

The first person in football must have the responsibility of the first person, right?

Of course, it would be even better if Arsenal could still find a good midfielder......

......

The good news is that Arsenal's new stadium is completed and will be opened as Arsenal's home stadium in the new season, which is a milestone for Arsenal.

The naming rights to the new stadium have already been sold, and Emirates has secured the naming rights for the next 15 years for a £100 million sponsorship contract, meaning that the new stadium will become the Emirates Stadium for the next 15 years.

In Quaresma's opinion, it doesn't really matter what the new stadium is called, the important thing is that Arsenal has lost a lot of money at this price!

Who would have thought that the world football economy would grow explosively in just a few years in the future, and if the signing time limit was shorter or simply signed a few years later, Arsenal would have won more than now!

Of course, Arsenal is now so poor that they are about to sell blood, where can they take care of the future, and what they hold in their hands is called money!

The opening match of the new stadium has been confirmed, and it is also the farewell match of Bergkamp, the ice prince, although Bergkamp was already in a state of health last season, his contribution to Arsenal is self-evident, and it is normal to hold a grand farewell match for him!

The farewell match was against Ajax and where Bergkamp debuted, and both teams are of great significance to Bergkamp.

In the past few days, the players have been thinking about what kind of commemorative gift to give to Bergkamp after training, which can be regarded as painstaking.

Someone collected photos and put them into a book to give to Bergkamp;

Someone took a Bergkamp jersey and asked thousands of fans to sign it, wanting to give it to him as a souvenir;

There was even a customised trophy engraved with Bergkamp's achievements at Arsenal;

......

And Quaresma is more entangled, he is not a romantic person in the first place, and he doesn't know what to give to Bergkamp, and finally his head is about to explode.

Why don't I buy a sack of goji berries for Bergkamp......

This thing is more practical, you know, Bergkamp can't do without this thing at all!

"In the future, I will be fully responsible for your wolfberry, I have a way in China, and I guarantee that they are all the best wolfberry!"

Quaresma patted his chest and assured Bergkamp.

Bergkamp, who has always been an old cadre, was moved, and he held Quaresma's hand and did not let go.

"Actually, I still want to order Liuwei Rehmannia Pills......"

The corners of Quaresma's mouth couldn't help twitching slightly, you quite understand.

Fortunately, you didn't care that I wanted Tianshan Snow Lotus, otherwise I wouldn't know where to find it for you!

......

From the outside, the new Emirates Stadium is spectacular and modern, and even if you don't feel the weight of history, you can play in the new stadium.

Walking into the stadium, the stands are already full, compared to the old Highbury, the Emirates Stadium, which can accommodate 60,000 fans, can allow more fans to watch the game in person to cheer for the team, and Arsenal's home atmosphere may be even more explosive.

I'm looking forward to the new season, and from here, it's a new start!

However, because it is Bergkamp's farewell game, Arsenal will not play too fiercely, several players in the front field continue to create scoring opportunities for Bergkamp, and Ajax is also very cooperative, and whenever Bergkamp gets the ball, it will not be too fierce.

The Ice Prince was treated to the whole team for a meal, something he hadn't experienced in his entire career.

If he can enjoy such treatment in official matches, then Bergkamp can guarantee that he can win the Premier League Golden Boot.

Finally, Bergkamp scored his final goal for Arsenal after receiving a nanny ball from Quaresma, and the crowd gave a standing ovation and Bergkamp's name resounded throughout the stadium.

With tears in his eyes, looking at the players who flocked to him one by one, feeling the reluctant attachment, Bergkamp was also crazy for a while.

A new stadium, a new Arsenal, maybe Arsenal will have a better future, right?

Not perhaps, but definitely!

It's a pity that I can't continue to play for Arsenal!

How nice it would be if I were a few years younger!

In the evening, at the farewell dinner, Bergkamp, who never drank alcohol, was so drunk that he didn't need to think about his state, and he could finally get drunk.

Quaresma doesn't have much sadness, some people come and some go, this is the most common state in world football, and it is not forever.

The Ice Prince is gone, and his legend lives on and will always be remembered by Arsenal fans.

I don't know which team I will play the farewell game on the day I retire?

Who will be the opponent?

I'm afraid I won't have an answer myself, at least not until that day comes.

......

The days passed quickly, Arsenal was in full swing to do pre-season training, and the impact of the World Cup year was undoubtedly highlighted at this time.

Because Arsenal is a giant team, there are not many stars in the team who have participated in the World Cup, including players like Quaresma who have reached the final and Henry who have reached the semi-finals, so the overall recovery of the team's state is relatively slow.

Failure to find form will inevitably affect the results at the beginning of the season, which can make Wenger anxious.

When Arsenal finds their form, they will be left behind by other teams, and they will play with a hammer!

And what makes Wenger even more angry is that in order to promote revenue growth, David Dane arranged a series of platform activities for the team, and continued to make money as the Champions League champion, not letting go of big and small money, and in a short period of time, the number of Arsenal's official sponsors has soared to dozens.

According to Arsenal's official rhetoric, Arsenal fans around the world can rely on Arsenal's official sponsors to survive.

Born in an Arsenal official sponsor hospital, wearing Nike clothes, traveling on an Emirates plane, driving a Citroen car, drinking Carlsberg beer, playing EA games, and even the death of a fan, the funeral can be arranged by Arsenal's official funeral partner......

Luckily, Arsenal haven't gone crazy enough to advertise for brothels=houses or bookmakers, otherwise the fans would have gone crazy!

But even so, Wenger's pre-season training camp was always interrupted frequently, making Wenger desperate to find David Dane.

Anyway, the players have seen Wenger and David Dane quarrel a few times, and if they are caught by reporters, it will obviously be another wave of explosive news that attracts attention.

Arsenal's high-level contradictions, the conflict between the manager and the management broke out, can Arsenal still be on the right track?

I am afraid that the reporters who are not chaotic in the world will directly predict that the new season of the defending Champions League champion will collapse!

Quaresma was also disgusted by always shooting commercials, affecting training, and Quaresma didn't like to be fiddled with by sissy photographers.

I don't even know how much tofu I have secretly eaten!

But it can't be helped, who made Arsenal poor!

If you're poor, you can only sell your ass, don't you?

But soon something happened that made Quaresma jaw-dropping and shocked all the fans, which directly changed Quaresma's mind.

Can't buy Deco, can't buy Yaya Toure, Quaresma thought that Arsenal could only make do with buying Rosicky to strengthen the midfield, but he never expected that the negotiation team led by David Dane would actually bring a great god to Arsenal.

German captain Michael Ballack has announced his free transfer to Arsenal and will play for Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium for the next three seasons.

As soon as this news is made public, the entire world football world is about to be earthquaked!

Ballack is definitely a superstar-level midfielder, the current captain of the German national team, and his strength is completely unspeakable!

But Quaresma can't connect Ballack and Arsenal, these are two completely different worlds, okay?

It is true that Ballack did not renew his contract with Bayern because of salary problems, but in his previous life, Ballack joined Chelsea after starting Bayern, and only Chelsea can match Ballack's high salary, and Chelsea's strength is enough to attract Ballack to join.

How did Arsenal cut a cross?

And the interception of the beard was successful?

It's incredible!

If it weren't for the fact that today wasn't April Fool's Day, Quaresma would have just taken the news as a joke!

Why did Arsenal attract Ballack?

Oh, by the way, Arsenal are the new Champions League champions and are also listed as the favourites to win the Champions League in the new season, which is still very attractive for Ballack, who has never won the Champions League in his career.

Moreover, Arsenal does not seem to be unable to pay Ballack's salary, after all, the salary level of the Premier League and the salary level of the Bundesliga are not on the same level.

Soon, Arsenal held a press conference, and it was the announcement of Ballack's arrival.

Ballack's salary was also revealed, at £12 a week, almost double the €450 annual salary he earned at Bayern.

And this salary level has also become Arsenal's highest salary!

This news shocked everyone a little.

Arsenal actually have such a rich time?

You must know that even Arsenal captain Thierry Henry's latest contract has a weekly salary of only 11 pounds, which is not as good as Ballack.

And, doesn't this directly break the wage system within the Arsenal team?

Henry worked hard at Arsenal and overcame obstacles, although he and Ballack are roughly the same level of superstars, but Ballack surpassed Henry in the first salary, Henry can be happy?

The important thing is that Ballack has been rumored to have an affair with Chelsea before, how did he run to Arsenal in the blink of an eye?

It's just puzzling!

Barak's signing is like a mystery, waiting for everyone to gradually discover the hidden secrets.

It's just that Quaresma has already seen the inside story thoroughly!

Ballack's choice of Arsenal was actually quite simple.

In the case of almost the same salary, it is natural to choose a better platform, a platform that is more suitable for oneself to play.

Chelsea is strong, but Arsenal is not weak, with the presence of Quaresma, Arsenal will never lose the championship competitiveness, in terms of strength, Chelsea is not more advantageous than Arsenal.

And very importantly, Chelsea's midfield configuration is too bloated and the competition is too fierce, Frank Lampard, Makelele, Essien, the iron triangle of the three has become Chelsea's signature, can Ballack really stand firm quickly?

Not to mention that Chelsea also have young midfielders such as Mikel and Las Diarra, who also need plenty of playing time.

Even if Ballack joins Chelsea, it won't seem very important.

Arsenal, on the other hand, is in a completely different state!

Arsenal's midfield strength is weak, this is everyone's common perception of Arsenal, and it is no secret that Arsenal is looking for midfielders all over the world, as long as Ballack joins Arsenal, he will immediately become an important member of the midfield, and may even directly assume the responsibility of the core of the midfield!

One is insignificant, the other is the core of the midfield, which one to choose?

The answer is already obvious!

Why didn't Ballack get in touch with Arsenal in his previous life?

Without Quaresma, Arsenal will not be competitive, not only will they not be able to attract Ballack, but I am afraid that Arsenal themselves will not be so motivated.

Now that Arsenal have won the Champions League, everything is going to be different.

As for the issue of wage structure, it is actually not a big problem.

Campbell joined Arsenal as a free agent, and Arsenal showed Campbell the record-breaking maximum salary of the Premier League, which is of course due to Campbell's strength, but also has a compensatory premium for Campbell.

He saved a lot of money on the transfer fee, and at the same time, he usually didn't need to pay a signing fee for a player when he joined freely, so Arsenal offered Campbell a high salary.

And now Ballack's situation is similar, there is no need for Arsenal to pay transfer fees and signing fees, if Ballack is not offered a high salary, it is strange that Ballack will join Arsenal.

Captain Henry probably wouldn't mind!

Just renewed the contract and took a large signing fee, which is already higher than Barak when converted into wages, how can Henry care!

Moreover, Henry's condition for renewing his contract is that Arsenal must continue to strengthen the squad, and now Arsenal has brought in a superstar of Ballack's level, which has exceeded Henry's expectations, how can Henry not be willing?

And the happiest is none other than Quaresma!

I always hoped that the team could strengthen the midfield, but I didn't expect David Dane to give him a big surprise!

Actually fooled Barack!

I used to think that David Dane was an idiot, but now it seems that idiots are not worthless.

Arsenal are missing a top-class midfielder like Ballack!

Like Frank Lampard and Gerrard, he is the top all-round midfielder, and Ballack has the most tenacious will of the German, which is what Arsenal lacks the most!

Gilberto Silva is dedicated to defense, Ballack is the core of attack and defense, and Xiaofa, an offensive genius, is dedicated to attacking, so that Arsenal's midfield can compete with almost any giant!

To defend and defend, to have hardness, to attack and attack, who else can find fault with Arsenal's midfield?

Arsenal are taking off!

Sometimes it doesn't necessarily need to be a superstar in every position, last season with Quaresma and Thierry Henry leading the way, Arsenal went all the way to the Champions League, and now the midfield has Ballack in charge, like a tiger, who can resist?

Not to mention others, even Mourinho cautiously said in an interview that Arsenal this season may become the most powerful contender for the Premier League title.

As for Manchester United and Liverpool, I am afraid that they may not be able to give birth to the ambition to compete with Arsenal for a while!

The arrival of Ballack has definitely brought a qualitative change to Arsenal!

Quaresma is really beautiful, whether Arsenal is going to bear huge financial pressure, he doesn't care, he only knows that the current Arsenal may not be perfect, but it is definitely qualified to compete with any giant.

Countless Arsenal fans are overjoyed, the new stadium is open, and the team has welcomed strong reinforcements, and this summer, they have nothing more to ask for.

Arsenal's rivals couldn't help but exclaim, the wolf is coming!

A wolf even more terrible than Chelsea is coming!

"The midfield king has arrived, Arsenal is ready to go straight to the double!"

"Ballack, Quaresma and Thierry Henry, Arsenal's new generation of Iron Triangle has been set up successfully!"

"Ballack: It was Quaresma who made me choose Arsenal and I want to win the title with Quaresma!"

"Alex Ferguson: Regret missing Ballack, Manchester United will regret it."

......

The media has been hyped wildly, and although there is no shortage of big money in the transfer market this summer, it is far less sensational than Ballack's arrival at Arsenal.

Don't look at the Ukrainian nuclear warhead Shevchenko's joining Chelsea, it can only be regarded as the icing on the cake, Shevchenko may not be able to play the performance of Milan.

But Ballack is completely different, he will directly support the backbone of Arsenal, he is the one who can really decide the future.

As for Bayern fans who are now crazy about Ballack, Arsenal fans won't care, anyway, they get Ballack, which is the biggest success.

However, after Quaresma's excitement, he inevitably worried that it would be worse if Barak brought his own Barak's law with him!

Arsenal won't have a "Sanya King" in the new season, right?

Quaresma couldn't help but fall into deep thought......
