After pulling back a goal, Arsenal had no intention of stopping there, feng shui took turns, they knew how terrible a reverted Descartes would be, so they continued to besiege Liverpool's door and began to frequently find Descartes to receive the ball.

It wasn't until the last 10 minutes that Descartes showed his "bench surprise" style from last season, replacing Cesc Fabregas as Arsenal's playmaker up front.

Originally, in this game, Bei Bald made a strict deployment to Fabregas, and Liverpool was able to press Arsenal in the first half, but it has a lot to do with Bei Bald's restrictions on small laws, but the calculating Bei Bald forgot that there is another player with organizational ability in the Arsenal team, that is, Descartes.

Although the playing time and opportunities have been decreasing this season, it has nothing to do with Descartes' ability, but because he is always distracted on the pitch by off-field factors, but this does not hide his ability to organise attacks, and he is in a more dangerous area and a more immediate threat than Cesc Fabregas.

Bei Bald thought that Descartes would be the same as the first ten rounds of the league in this game, and he might not even be able to play, but he didn't expect that Wenger reused him in this game, and his negligence in marking Descartes was the flaw in this game.

However, Benitez was a master tactician after all, and he quickly realized his mistake, so he immediately replaced Benayoun with Mascherano Jr., and Gerrard and Mascherano were staring at Xiaofa and Descartes. Firmly strangled Arsenal's two attacking pivots.

It's just that in this way, Liverpool is tantamount to giving up most of the attack and focusing on defense with all their might. There were sporadic boos over Anfield, and while Liverpool are unbeaten so far this season, so what? Now it is their arch-rivals Manchester United who sit firmly at the top of the table, and as long as they don't upset Ferguson and his Red Devils, Liverpool fans will not really accept the conservative of Beckon for a day.

If you want to talk about conservatives, there are really two guys in the Premier League who have taken conservatism to the extreme, and these two people are naturally Benitez and Mourinho. Although the two of them have been in the Premier League during this time, the atmosphere of the Premier League has been booming. It's also a great place in Europe. even swept three of the last four places in the Champions League at one point, but all the media and commentators thought that the game commanded by these two men was really boring.

The most typical match is when the two teams have played each other in the Champions League for three consecutive years. The biggest score was 1:0. The smallest score was 0:0 with 6 matches. A total of 3 goals were scored and 3 games were drawn, which really made the fans who stayed up late to watch the game hate.

Benitez like this. How could he care about the boos of the fans? For him, as long as he can keep his undefeated golden body, no matter how badly the fans blow, the boss will not copy him squid, have you heard of a coach who was fired after being unbeaten in the season?

But if he risks going against Arsenal again, with Arsenal's current morale, his team really won't be able to survive until the end of the game, and if they lose the game, will the fans applaud him?

I'm afraid they will only hate themselves more, and they will curse and say, "If you had used it earlier, maybe you wouldn't have lost this game, you coward!" ”

"Maybe"? There are so many things that can happen in this world, but as a head coach, there is only one condition that can really determine their fate, and that is victory!

Benitez, who has been in the rivers and lakes for more than ten years, naturally understands this truth deeply, the reason why he was poached from Valencia to Liverpool is because he can bring victory, not because he looks very popular with fans, so even if he has a conservative reputation, he must keep the victory.

Under Liverpool's strict defense, the game ended in a 1-1 draw, while Manchester United took the opportunity to win Middlesbrough 4-1 and widened the gap with Arsenal to two points.

This draw made the professor feel very dissatisfied, although they still have one less game than Manchester United, but the Liverpudlians' stubborn defense in the final stage made him hold back his full body but there was nowhere to go, and the depressed professor vented to the media after the game: "Even if you play another hundred games, I don't think this score will change, because they don't want to attack at all, their goal is to be undefeated, undefeated, undefeated, and a draw is also an undefeated one!" ”

In the face of the professor's ridicule, Bei Bald calmly responded: "No matter what others say, the important thing is that we got a point in an important game, and at the end of the season, we may feel the importance of this point." ”

Liverpool's ambitions for this season look great, and in his opinion, it should be time to topple the Manchester United dynasty this season.

But before the two famous marshals finished talking, the other famous marshal over there, Lord Fu, had already made a move.

At the press conference after the match with Middlesbrough, Lord Ferguson faced reporters with a rare smile, and seeing that Lord Ferguson seemed to be in a good mood, a reporter had the audacity to ask a question that everyone was concerned about: "The next game is the big battle with Arsenal that has attracted global attention, is Ronaldo ready?" ”

Lord Fu's face did not change, but he looked at it left and right: "Of course, for such an important game, I will definitely ask every one of my men to be ready, fortunately we have not suffered too many injuries during this time, and we can play Arsenal with a neat lineup at that time." ”

Seeing that the lord was about to play Tai Chi again, how could the reporters who had grabbed him for a while let him slip away so easily, so another reporter stood up and asked: "The pair of Arsenal players who made a bet with Ronaldo Descartes. Mondillo, what do you think? ”

"Descartes?" The lord seemed to be very interested in this question, leaned closer to the microphone and said seriously: "He is a very, very good player, I think you all remember, Manchester United have also made an offer to him, and we even sent someone to Italy to contact him, in fact. He almost became a player for Manchester United. ”

At this point, the reporters recalled that Manchester United were indeed interested in Descartes two years ago, and it is said that they started even earlier than Arsenal, but in the end Wenger impressed Descartes with his sincerity, and Manchester United was too slow to react and missed the opportunity to get the Italian superstar.

Ferguson rehashed the old story, apparently not so simply, and he dropped a bombshell: "I heard that Chelsea were interested in bringing in Descartes some time ago, in fact. I think Mourinho made a smart choice. I repeat here that Manchester United's door is open to Descartes at any time, and we can make a higher offer than Chelsea if he wants! ”

This sentence immediately made the reporters at the scene blow up. Immediately, a reporter got up and asked: "What about Ronaldo...... there"

"Cristiano Ronaldo is not a problem." The Lord is indifferently confident in his ability to control the team. "They're all very professional players. It's perfectly peaceful to be together, and I've heard that Descartes hasn't been doing well at Arsenal lately, and I want to say to him. Welcome to the Manchester United family. ”

Turns out this is not a joke!

The reporters immediately moved, in the era when there was no "friend wife" and "brother and daughter-in-law", the Premier League reporters were still very passionate about this kind of jealous news, if Descartes and Ronaldo really became teammates, then just imagine, what will the two of them get along with?

It's much better than a soap opera at 8 or 9 o'clock in the evening.

So Lord Frell's words were quickly reached by the media Wenger, and at this time, Wenger had not even walked out of the hall of the post-match press conference with Liverpool.

Hearing a reporter ask him what he thinks about this matter, Wenger is iron-faced, of course he understands the purpose of Ferguson's words, it is simply to disturb Arsenal's military morale, Descartes' performance has just improved a little, he used such a vicious trick on this little guy, 60 years of old skin, if you really say don't want it, don't want it!

So the angry professor said angrily into the microphones of the reporters: "If you want to buy Descartes, okay, take out 100 million pounds, and I will release him immediately!" ”

He didn't expect that because of his words, Descartes would immediately be put on the hat of "Mr. 100 million pounds", and he would not have imagined that after many years, this hat would actually be implemented, and not only 100 million pounds, but also greatly exceeded this number.

Descartes, who suddenly became "Mr. 100 million pounds", obviously hasn't figured out the reason for the matter, but he is still sensitive to see a little ridicule and ridicule in the eyes of reporters, compared to this season's performance, Ronaldo has scored 3 goals in the league so far, and has also scored 3 goals in Europe, but he has only scored so far, and he has only played no more than 30 minutes in Europe.

If he is worth 100 million, how much should Ronaldo be worth?

Descartes didn't immediately turn his face with the reporters because of these overt or implicit ridicule, he just kept the account in his heart, and he waited until the game against Manchester United was over, and then came to settle the accounts with these reporters one by one.

Although Lord Fergus's speech was more aimed at disturbing Arsenal's morale, the professor smelled a hint of crisis from it, and the question was about Descartes' contract renewal.

Descartes originally signed a three-year contract with Arsenal, and now, this contract is less than two years left, although it seems that there is no urgency, but fans who often follow football know that generally speaking, if a team wants to keep a certain player, it will renew his contract at least two years in advance, otherwise when there is only one year left in the contract, the initiative is not in the hands of the club.

And if a player doesn't receive a renewal notice from the club with two years left on his contract, you've either been dropped by the club or have another team ready to poach him.

In fact, the club did propose a new contract to Descartes at the beginning of the season, but Descartes still has no agent, and if he wants to sign this contract under the age of 18, he must get the approval of his father, Mr. Javier, who is far away in Italy and has not replied so far, so the negotiations between the two sides have been dragged on like this.

Now it seems that even the big guys like Chelsea and Manchester United have already made a move against Descartes, and if Arsenal don't do it faster, maybe Ashley. Cole's tragedy is really going to be repeated.

So after returning to the club, Wenger immediately called Descartes to talk to him about the contract extension.

Strictly speaking, this matter should have been communicated by the head of the athletic department to Descartes's agent, but Descartes was personally introduced by Wenger, so he naturally wanted to explore Descartes' thoughts first.

Descartes' attitude is very simple, his goal is very ambitious, money is not the most important part of it, so for him, the most important part of the contract renewal is not money, but his position and role in the team.

Wenger was not hypocritical about this, he assured Descartes that as long as he could ensure his condition in training, he would have a chance to appear in official matches, and the two sides quickly reached a consensus on this issue, so the issue of Descartes' contract extension became very easy.

The weekly salary rose from £18,000 to £30,000, an increase of 10 per cent per year, and the contract was continued for three years, after which Arsenal had the right of first refusal.

This is the core content of the new contract, as for other bonuses, liquidated damages, there will naturally be professionals to verify and calculate, Wenger's philosophy has always been to want to tie the player's heart, not money.

It wasn't until after the contract was signed that a big stone in Wenger's heart finally fell, and he happily patted Descartes on the shoulder with a big heart, and kindly reminded him: "You're going to turn 18 soon, it's time to find an agent." ”

"Broker?" Descartes looked at the dizzying little print on the contract, and began to agree with Wenger's words, and it seemed that it was time to find an agent. (To be continued......)
