-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The whole team was disbanded when they returned to Lille, Christmas is the most important holiday in the Western world, the whole team, including the club staff, have to go home to spend the holiday with their families, and even Daddy Briss, who almost never leaves the Lushang training base on weekdays, has to go to his son's place for the holiday.

Reeves was also ready to go back to the dormitory to clean up and go to the suburbs to spend Christmas with his parents.

Reeves invited the lone Kluivert to spend Christmas with him, and Kluivert readily agreed, but he had to go to England first.

Kluivert's ex-wife remarried, a French businessman, at Roch Castle in Pembroke County, England, tomorrow, to which Kluivert was invited.

On the day of the wedding, Kluivert flew to England.

Watching the whole wedding process with mixed feelings, Kluivert's heart disappeared with the sound of "I do".

The castle sits near the crater, and a relieved Kluivert was standing on his balcony overlooking the picturesque views of St Brydes Bay, Pembrokeshire Coast National Park and Mount Prisley when someone slapped him from behind.

"Patrick?"

"Professor!" Kluivert was a little surprised to see Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger here.

Although the two have not worked together, they have a strong relationship, and Arsene Wenger believes that the Ajax centre-forward is the best fit for Arsenal's football system, and has repeatedly wanted to bring in Kluivert.

When Kluivert was purged by AC Milan, Wenger had already negotiated with Galliani, but the outstanding performance of the European Cup made the Dutch striker's value rise, and Galliani, who had suffered Vieira's loss, did not want to be cheap Arsenal, and finally staged a soap opera because of money, the key is that Henry wanted to introduce at the same time, but the financial resources can only introduce one, or a loan, and it is self-evident who to buy in the end; Later, Kluivert performed well at Barcelona, and his contract was about to expire, and Wenger once again intended to bring in K9, but the new contract offered by Barcelona to the Dutchman was a base salary of 4 million plus a total bonus of 3.9 million (of which 1.5 million Kluivert would definitely be available), which alone could intimidate many clubs. But Arsene Wenger can only offer Kluivert an annual salary of 4 million. The Dutchman chose to renew his contract with Barcelona.

The two missed two opportunities to work together, but that didn't stop them from having a good conversation.

But what they didn't know was that among the wedding guests was a reporter from The Sun, who quietly filmed the conversation between the two with his mobile phone.

The next day, the news appeared in a prominent position on the sports page of The Sun.

"Arsene Wenger winter shoot! Aiming for Ligue 1 supernova! ”

They don't think Kluivert and Arsene Wenger met for the sake of their careers that are about to end, but only Reeves.

Other newspapers followed suit.

"Ligue 1 quasi-top scorer, Champions League quasi-top scorer is about to land at Wembley"

"Anelka, after Henry, Wenger is another talented goalscorer in Ligue 1. 》

Some media also dug up the whereabouts of Arsenal scouts, "Arsenal scout Glis Grimandi is based in Lille and has been following Reeves for some time, and Lille has not missed every game. ”

With the hype of this news, Reeves became famous in England all of a sudden, and the English have a characteristic, the pride of the empire on which the sun never sets, makes them only pay attention to the stars of the Premier League, and they are not interested in foreign stars at all, so although Reeves has performed well in the Champions League and Ligue 1, he has not entered the sight of most English fans.

But as the news tied him to Arsenal, England fans learned about the rising star.

I don't know if I don't check, I was shocked when I checked it, the double leader of the league Champions League scorer list, the bitter master of AC Milan, the digger of the Lyon throne, and the most important thing is that Reeves is only 17 years old.

In England, Reeves could only be regarded as a celebrity in the eyes of a small wave of fans who paid attention to the Champions League, but after the news fermented, Reeves suddenly became popular among the entire English fan base.

The most important embodiment is that some tabloids appeared in Reeves's peachy news, breaking the news that Reeves and a certain nightclub girl have a leg, this kind of fake news is only a popular star treatment, British tabloids rely on making up some star peachy news to stimulate sales.

England and France were very close, and news of Reeves' possible move to Arsenal soon reached Lille.

The media could not catch the trace of Reeves at home, so they had to block Kluivert, who was flying back to France from England, at the airport.

"What? Reeves to Arsenal? No, no, Reeves won't be leaving Lille this winter, and the professor is just talking to me about whether he would like to go to Arsenal as a striker manager. ”

Kluivert flatly denied it in front of the media.

At the Reeves house, Kluivert told the truth.

"At the wedding reception, the professor asked me if you would like to go to Arsenal."

Although he has a plan for his career, Reeves is still happy to hear it, it is an honor to be favored by the professor, as we all know, Professor Wenger is famous for his insight into the football world, Wenger has been in charge of Arsenal, and has tapped and cultivated countless young talents, and has also rejuvenated many aspiring stars, which can be said to be the first Bole in the football world today.

In the past, Wenger cultivated and excavated stars: Anelka, Henry, Bergkamp, Ljungberg, Pire, Fabregas, etc., and the list that was favored but not signed for various reasons is even more terrifying: Ronaldo, Messi, Bale, Ibrahimovic, Suarez, Modric, Cech, Yaya Toure, Drogba, Pique, Kompany......... This list could make up two Champions League winners.

"Favored by Arsene Wenger" can be said to be a more authoritative certification of future stars than the national football federation or UEFA official selection of hopeful stars.

"Do you think I should go?" He had already made up his mind, but he wanted to hear Kluivert's thoughts, which would be a test of his agent's status.

"I don't recommend you go."

"Oh? Tell me why. ”

"First of all, you can't shake Henry's position, and there are too many personnel reserves in the Arsenal forward position, Henry, Van Persie, Eduardo, Bendtner, etc., there is no shortage of strikers at all."

"Don't forget that Henry is 30 years old." Reeves reminded.

"What about 30, last season Henry was once again the league's top scorer with 27 goals in 32 games, winning the award for the fourth time and being nominated for the English Footballer of the Year. There have been quite a few goals this season. ”

'I'm not talking about his decline, it's Arsenal's policy towards veterans.

"One visa a year for those over 30 years old? Well, I forgot that. With Henry's personality, he would definitely not sign such a contract, and the professor would not make an exception for anyone. ”

"And Henry is such a great player, he has not won the Champions League at the age of 30, which is his biggest regret, and if he does not have the Champions League title this season, it will also prompt him to leave."

"Yes" Kluivert as a player believes this.

'Thierry Henry's place is vacant, how do I think it's good for me to go to Arsenal.' Reeves said with a smirk, expecting Kluivert to convince himself otherwise.

"No, you still shouldn't go to Arsenal."

"You say, I'll listen." Reeves poured himself and Kluivert a cup of coffee and listened.

"There are two reasons, the turbulent top brass and the Emirates Stadium!"

Kluivert took a sip of his coffee and continued.

"As far as I know, Vice Chair David Dunn and Chairman Hill Wood had a falling out. Do you know what Dunn means to Arsenal? ”

Reeves nodded, knowing how important Dunn was to Arsenal.

Dunn joined the Arsenal team in 1983, and in 24 years, he was the chief designer of the Arsenal team, and he poached famous coaches such as Graham and Arsene Wenger, creating the glory of Arsenal today.

Also, a lot of the players in the squad now have good personal relationships with Dunn, Patrick Vieira, Thierry Henry, Cesc Fabregas, Toure ...... The venue for their contract renewal negotiations was Dunn's villa, not Arsenal's office.

Dunn also has a huge influence in football, he was the leader of the Premier League reform in 1993, was elected deputy chairman of the English FA, and is now the chairman of the G14 group.

Dunn wanted to follow the path of Manchester United and Chelsea, which were bought by American and Russian businessmen, to fill the debt of the new stadium and raise transfer funds for the team, but was rejected by Arsenal chairman Hill Wood, who is obstinate about pedigree. Dunn intends to leave Arsenal, and his 15% stake will be sold to the Russian Usmanov, while the American Kroenke bought 12.4% of the Arsenal stake in the market, plus the British rich businessman Fitzman, who holds 24.11% of the shares, all three are businessmen, and will seek to hold a 30% stake, which can trigger a full takeover of the club and get rid of Hill Wood. So until the dust settles, Arsenal will be in turmoil. ”

Reeves knew this, and the Wood family had been in charge of the Arsenal team since 1929, and Hill Wood was already in the third generation, and he vowed to defend the Arsenal club's pure English roots, much to Dunn's extreme disappointment and eventually chose to leave.

This is also the reason why Reeves does not intend to get involved in the Arsenal equity battle even if he has more money, and the complex shareholders and the stubborn chairman have no one to control Arsenal alone until his death.

Either side wins, Arsenal will have a long period of slump, because the goal of all three parties is the same, that is, they will not repay the loan for the club to build a new stadium, and Arsenal may do nothing in the transfer market in the next few years, which Dunn has long expected, he has been opposed to the Emirates Stadium plan, he is worried that the club has too much debt, and Wenger does not have enough transfer funds to invest in the first team. His fears would come true next season, so he opted out. If you have a desire for the title, don't go to Arsenal. ”

Reeves Gaard glanced at Kluivert, indeed as he said, with the arrival of the Emirates Stadium, the future of Arsenal will fall into the dilemma of selling the captain every year, in the previous life someone counted Arsenal moved into the Emirates Stadium (2006/07 season), the Premier League teams in the transfer market net investment, the result of Arsenal with a huge profit from the bottom.

"Buy the universe in July, sell the captain in August, the most in September, the five champions in October, the eleventh is hopeful, the twelve goals are long, all injuries in January, the league in February, the middle stream in March, the top four in April, the first name in May, the top four in June, breathe a sigh of relief, and prepare to sell the captain."

It's an online joke, exaggerated, but it really reflects Arsenal's terrible situation in those years.

Fighting for the four and selling the captain may become Arsenal's tradition before the financial improves, Reeves doesn't want to see his teammates sold away one by one, always selling the core and main force, even if Reeves is the king of the ball, he can't win the championship, think about the Champions League sold Xiaobai and Xavi, can Messi win the Champions League? Just think about Messi's situation in the Argentine team.

As a player, the championship is the greatest desire.

So Reaves never planned to go to Arsenal, although he liked Arsene Wenger and admired him for being able to enter the Champions League every year despite the constant exodus of his main players.

"Well, there's one thing I haven't told you."

Reeves told Kluivert about his intention to go to Serie A and his plan to buy Parma.

Kluivert was deep in thought, he needed to digest this information, which was related to Reeves's future career development, and he needed to review Reeves' decision and analyze the pros and cons.

When the cup of coffee bottoms out, Kluivert finally comes out of his contemplation.

"I don't recommend you go to Serie A."

Reeves leans forward and is very focused on Kluivert's opinion, as Kluivert's experience in Serie A will help him to inform his decision.

"Your technical characteristics are not suitable for Serie A, there is no room for you to survive in Serie A's excellent defensive system, only a simple goalscorer or a strong stumping center forward can mix in Serie A. You have excellent technique, but your individual skills are the least needed ability for Serie A strikers, experience, physicality, and movement are the abilities they need most, and Serie A is a paradise for old demons, powerful center forwards and opportunists. ”

Reeves knew that Kluivert was right, and recalled the previous scorer lists in Serie A, and almost all of the top scorers in Serie A were these three types of strikers.

But this reason apparently did not convince Reeves.

"It's more challenging, and if I succeed, I'll feel a sense of accomplishment." Reeves responded with a smile.

Kluivert seemed to see himself back then, and he thought so that year.

"I don't recommend you to go, naturally for more than that. Do you know what's the worst thing about Italy? It's the pitch that forces you to change the way you play. (To be continued.) )
