Chapter 17: The Princess Arrives

The news of Manchester City's sky-high bid for Descartes is still spreading rapidly in the press, but to everyone's surprise, Arsenal quickly gave their answer on the official website at a lightning speed: no sale!

I don't know how many experts and reporters shattered their glasses, just before that, they were still speculating that the world record for transfer fees created by Ronaldo may be about to be broken, this unprecedented 100 million, I don't know how many people are panting with red eyes, and deep down they seem to be scratching by countless cat's paws, but who would have thought that everything would return to its original state in the blink of an eye, the world record still belongs to Ronaldo, and Descartes still belongs to Arsenal.

This is simply a sense of vicissitudes of dust and dust to earth.

With such powerless vicissitudes and complaints, countless news media expressed their disappointment and incomprehension, this is 100 million euros, as Mr. Mansour's secretary said, this is not an dirham, let alone a baht, this is almost equivalent to the financial income of the Arsenal club for a whole year, how did Hill and his greedy board resist such a temptation and eat the scales so determined to keep Descartes?

When the outside media was speculating, Wenger also found Descartes for a conversation at the right time, Wenger knew very well that although he tried his best to persuade the board to dispel the idea of selling Descartes, but in today's football, the player's intention is also an important factor in the transfer, Henry didn't just because he wanted to leave, regardless of his and the board's retention, resolutely defected to the more promising Barcelona? Now Manchester City's name is not as loud as Barcelona. But their temptation is also touching, 100 million euros, even if it is only a transfer fee, but everyone knows that they will definitely promise more benefits to Descartes in private, such a temptation is not something that everyone can afford.

But even Wenger himself did not expect that Descartes' attitude made him so reassured, and even gave birth to some thoughts of admiration, Descartes dispelled all his doubts with only one sentence: "If one day I leave." It's never because of money. ”

Yes. This was the attitude of Descartes, who was born into a family that was not wealthy, but not poor either, from his youth. He is regarded as a genius in Italian football. It has been sought after and praised by countless people. So for him, money is by no means the most important thing in his life, ideals, honors, family. Including Anjieli, these are all ranked as money first, and even the agent he is looking for, Mr. Bonnetto, has never asked him in terms of money, otherwise with such a rich offer from Manchester City, he would have been eager to encourage him to change jobs.

In Descartes' mind, staying in an environment where he feels comfortable and achieving great things is the most important thing.

Descartes' sonorous words seemed to give Wenger a dose of reassurance, and similarly, his indifferent attitude also made Arsenal's dressing room quickly return to peace from shock, although such as Diarra, Walcott and others are still envious of Descartes' amazing value, but it is precisely because of his unmoved performance in the face of such a sky-high temptation that all the players of Arsenal feel respected and motivated, look, one day, the man will be like Descartes, and he will not move in the face of a 100 million seduction!

The media originally thought that after Manchester City's shocking offer, despite the swift reaction of Arsenal officials, the dressing room was still inevitably subject to some fluctuations, but they underestimated the mental role of Descartes in this team, and Arsenal, inspired by his performance, not only did not have turmoil in the following games, but played a more shocking game, and they won 10 wins and 1 draw in 11 games in September and October.

The only draw came away to AZ Alkmaar in the Champions League, where Arsene Wenger was on the bench as they had already secured top spot in the group after winning four of their previous group games.

Such an astonishing performance led to Arsenal's dominance in the league, and after 11 rounds of league games, Arsenal finished six points ahead of second-placed Chelsea, which also created an illusion for all the media, as if the suspense of this year's league is no longer who will win the eventual title, but who will end Arsenal's winning streak?

For now, the favourites for this bet belong to Chelsea, who are second in the league.

Speaking of which, Chelsea should be considered a wonderful flower in the Premier League this season, because this team has played completely without a manager so far!

Yes, we have already said before that the real football manager Mr. Abu sent an invitation to Van Gaal, who is coaching in his country, this season, but unfortunately the Russian national team was unwilling to let go, and in the end Van Gaal could only agree to "assist" Cerbi to coach, and due to the schedule of the national team, his actual arrival time can only be scheduled after January next year, that is, Chelsea can only be in a state of naked running until January 2010.

But at the beginning of the season, no one would have imagined that such a headless Blue Dragon, but after 11 rounds of league games, it became the only team that could still bite Arsenal tightly, if it weren't for their excellent record of 27 points, I am afraid everyone would have awarded the Premier League trophy to the Gunners early.

How can such a team that doesn't even have a head coach achieve such an unnatural record? This question has become the second most important question for the media to explore after the end of Arsenal's winning record, and after countless paparazzi and journalists have worked tirelessly, they have finally discovered the fact that Chelsea are now playing exactly the same set that their long-departed manager Jose Mourinho left them.

Defend, then counterattack.

There have been people who have angrily scolded Mourinho's conservative football, and there have been people who disdain Mourinho's utilitarian football, and in the eyes of many people, Mourinho did what he hated the most: "Park a bus in front of the goal and hope for luck to blast the ball into the opponent's goal." ”

There have been countless media outlets furious at Mourinho's utilitarian football. Even Mr. Abu was deeply affected by these comments, believing that Magic Bird's football "lacks beauty", which is an important reason for the gradual expansion of the conflict between the two parties, and finally the breakup.

But it is only today that people wake up to the fact that Mourinho's football, despite its ugliness, is the only way to win.

Yes, Chelsea, who have not had a manager for the time being, have automatically reverted to the mode they are most familiar with and best at playing: Jose Mourinho's "ugly football". And it was at this time. The media and Chelsea fans just found out. At the Bridge, if you want to win, you have to rely on the magic bird.

Chelsea have re-emerged as a forest of muscles, albeit without the rigor and meticulousness of Jose Mourinho. But with the inertia formed by the cooperation of these players over the years. and the tactical discipline that the magic birds left behind that was almost etched in their hearts. In the end, in this season when Manchester United is sinking and Arsenal is crazy, no one can understand it, as always, they have been as immobile and stable as Mount Tai.

And it is precisely because of Chelsea's performance that the media has a lot of expectations for him. Yes, the only two teams in the league that still have a chance to wrestle with Arsenal in the eyes of the media are Chelsea and Liverpool.

It's a pity that the game between Liverpool and Arsenal is far away in December, how can it not compare to the upcoming Chelsea and Arsenal top battle, not to mention, Bei Bald has never had much to do when dealing with Arsenal, counting the Champions League and FA Cup games, Bei Bald has achieved an embarrassing record of 11 losses, 1 draw and 1 win in 13 games with Arsenal, even when Arsenal is the most down, he has not revealed the strength and determination to beat the water dogs, not to mention that Arsenal is as powerful as the sky?

Perhaps, is it really only the "iron army" left by Mourinho that is the common beacon of the 19 Premier League teams today?

On November 8th, Arsenal and Chelsea battle for the top spot started as scheduled, although Chelsea even if they win this game will not change the position of the two teams in the standings, but they can take the opportunity to narrow the gap to 3 points, maybe in February next year, when Arsenal habitually collapses again, the result of this game will affect the final title of the season?

With such good intentions, Chelsea's assistant coach Ray Murray. Mr. Wilkins led "his" muscular legions to the bustling Emirates Stadium.

Due to Arsenal's excellent performance this season, the Emirates Stadium is now full, and even the aisles between the seats are full of people, for Arsenal fans, this is undoubtedly the happiest time since the 03-04 season, their team looks unstoppable in the Premier League, if they continue to play like this, they will no longer create an unbeaten record in the Premier League, but a winning record in the history of the Premier League, for Gunners fans, such a game, not to watch a game, just one more enjoyment, They certainly don't let go of the playing field at such a moment.

Echoing the more than 80,000 fans in the stadium, there are more Arsenal fans wearing red and white jerseys in the main square outside the Emirates Stadium, and today, Chelsea's dark blue is completely submerged in a tide of red and white, even if the two football teams are in London, but the vulnerable Chelsea fans have long been squeezed into an unknown corner by Nana, Arsenal fans burst out with fiery energy, and have occupied all corners related to the Emirates Stadium in the morning.

It is not just Chelsea's ability to stop Arsenal's rumbling hooves away from home that will interest the fans, but it is not a question at all for the Arsenal fans, who are talking about the "princess" of the Emirates Stadium finally visiting this great stadium for the first time!

Yes, the "princess" in their mouths is none other than Descartes' little girlfriend, Ann Jieli, who has just been upgraded to fiancée. Margaret.

Speaking of which, the two have been together for more than ten years from childhood sweethearts to the final announcement of their relationship, which no longer seems to be a new thing for the media, but God knows, this is the first time that Ann Jieli has officially appeared on the court of his game since Descartes played football.

Of course, this is not because Ann Jieli did not support Descartes' career, in fact, when Descartes was still playing amateur games in the junior team, Ann Jieli also appeared in the audience next to her on several occasions. Holding his little hands, he gasped for the aroma and cheered him loudly.

But why did Ann Jieli seem to disappear from his career after Descartes appeared in official matches?

There is also a small reason for this, that is, like Descartes, Angeli also suffers from a small congenital problem - hearing loss. Similar to Descartes' anemia, hearing loss is not a fatal problem, but it has the effect that it cannot appear in too noisy environments and exceed a certain decibel of noise. It can cause symptoms such as dizziness and tinnitus in patients with hearing loss. In severe cases, it can even cause vomiting and fainting.

That's why Angelie never appears on the pitch, her hearing loss prevents her from spending more than a minute in a decibel-high environment like the pitch. Quite possibly. A game hasn't been played yet. She had already died in the audience at the stadium.

Angelia's minor problem has been reported by the media in the past, so all Descartes fans understand that their idol's fiancée is not unsupportive of her idol's career. It's just that for physical reasons, I have never been to the scene to personally feel the working atmosphere of my fiancé, and this has also made many fans feel a little regretful in their hearts, you look at the families of other stars, I can't wait to appear in the football stadium every game, let all the cameras point at themselves and shoot violently, where are they to watch the game, they are simply here to show.

In comparison, Descartes' fiancée is too low-key, and so far, the outside world has hardly seen much of her other aspects except for knowing that her relationship with Descartes has gone through two turmoil and has finally stabilized.

Now, Angeli finally said that she was going to come to the Emirates Stadium to watch the game, which was inadvertently revealed by the excited Descartes in the locker room, and in order to allow Angeli to watch his game quietly, he even approached the team's president, Hill. Mr. Wood borrowed his VIP box for the time being, because it was the only place where Angeli could avoid the noise of the stadium and watch the game quietly.

In the past, Descartes also had such a plan, but unfortunately Angelie was far away in Italy at the time, and she was not willing to let Descartes disturb the chairman of the team for this little thing, so she has not been to the scene to watch the game, and now she has decided to settle in England for a period of time to accompany Descartes, so naturally she will appear in the field of Descartes from time to time, which is a kind of support, and it can be regarded as a statement of the two to the outside world: Look, we are always together.

Hill. Wood was naturally reluctant to respond to Descartes' request, after all, Descartes is the team's current number one star, and he still has to give this face, so the loan box went very smoothly, and he even promised Ann Jieli that she could use his private box whenever she wanted, as long as she was willing to come to watch Descartes' games, this VIP box could always be reserved for her.

This can be regarded as an emotional investment for the chairman of the team, but this kind of discount is not available to everyone, which also reflects Descartes' current status in the team.

It's just that even Descartes himself didn't expect that when he happily told Walcott about it, this group of big mouths actually revealed the news to the media, so overnight, the whole world knew about it. Mondillo, his fiancée, was going to come to see him play.

To be honest, the media is still very interested in this topic, as mentioned before, Angeli has never appeared in the scene of Descartes' game, compared with other stars' families, she is too low-key, which makes many media and fans have a sense of mystery about her, and what they want to know more is why this little girl, who almost never shows her head, can defeat the goddess in their hearts one after another, Zhenma. Atkinson and Moriel. Kim, firmly holding a talent like Descartes in the palm of his hand?

You know, although Descartes is not a playboy like Ronaldo, but he is by no means a pure-hearted person like Kaka or Messi, his nightlife in London is also quite rich, he and Walcott, Diaby and others are all characters who frequently appear in gossip magazines, and such a guy who is keen on nightclubs can repeatedly resist the temptation and stick to a relationship that has lasted for more than ten years, which is simply an incredible thing in the eyes of the media.

Perhaps, there is something about this woman that they don't know about?

Compare it to the dark speculations of the press. The feelings of the fans are much purer, especially the Arsenal fans, after several seasons of excellent performances, Descartes has now become the new favorite of all Gunners fans, in their opinion, Descartes's current status in the team is not inferior to the departed "king", and even some radical fans have already regarded him as the new "king" of the Emirates Stadium, and the predecessor who chose to flee at the low ebb of the team has long been left in the breeze by them.

Now, the King's fiancée has finally appeared in the stadium of the Emirates Stadium for the first time. So many Arsenal fans couldn't wait to pull out the banner. Most of them are written with signs such as "Welcome to the Emirates Stadium" and "Hello Princess", on the one hand, to express their joy to Angeli, and at the same time, to show goodwill to Angeli. Let Descartes be more at ease at the Emirates Stadium. Manchester City's ferocious offensive the other day. But it really made Arsenal fans tremble for a while, after shamelessly poaching Adebayo, Nasri and others, Manchester City's group of local goods dared to extend their claws to Arsenal's new king. If it weren't for Arsenal's official response being quick enough, perhaps the Arsenal fans would have surrounded the team's headquarters and expressed their resolve like a board of directors.

Angeli is also the first time to come to the occasion where so many people gather, a slight hearing weakness makes her always choose to avoid when there are many people, at the beginning in Pavia, because the team's home stadium is too simple, not even a box, so she has never been to watch Descartes play, and when Descartes transferred to England, except for that injury she went to London to take care of him, she has never set foot in this place, let alone watch his game, so up to now, She didn't even show up at Descartes' game once.

It wasn't until today that she finally knew how popular her brother Descartes was in London, and she finally understood why Manchester City's sky-high price of 100 million euros failed to touch Descartes' heart, because the surrounding flags like mountains and forests, the sincere smiling faces of the fans and the tsunami-like cheers made her feel irrepressible excitement in her heart when she was dizzy, it turned out that my Descartes brother was really like a king here!

The start time of this game is 8:45 p.m., but until 5 minutes after the start of the game, everyone's mind is not in the center of the field, because all the camera lenses will pan to the private room on the VIP seat almost every ten seconds, where Ann Jieli is looking at Descartes running freely in the stadium through the transparent glass with a sweet smile, for this game, Descartes even asked Wenger to change his playing time, he hopes to start from the first minute of the game, Let Angel see him running like the wind on the court.

And what Ann Jieli didn't expect was that when she was watching the scenery on the field, she also became a scenery in front of the camera, every time when the picture of the big screen appeared her shy and timid gaze on the game, it would cause bursts of cheers from the fans on the scene and in the square, this delicate but quiet woman like a camellia has conquered the hearts of many fans in her first "tour", although she does not have the delicacy of Atkinson, nor the delicate of Moriel, but her quiet and smiling, has made most of the media and fans recognize her, perhaps, only such a woman is worthy of their noble "king".

However, just when the camera lens and most of the fans were still focusing their attention on the first appearance of the "princess", there was already a shrill whistle on the court, and most people didn't know what was happening, and they saw a red and white figure blowing like a breeze, rushing straight to the bottom of the box where Angeli was, and then, a heart-shaped pattern drawn by both hands appeared in the camera, and it was Descartes' happy and flying smiling face! (To be continued......)
