Chapter Thirty-Nine: Playing Dumb Riddles
Following his simple and straightforward personal statement, Arsenal announced his new weekly salary. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
As soon as the news spread, the fans were noisy and the media was in an uproar.
In fact, it is not expected, but 35,000 pounds is a bit shabby. The comments that pop up at this time are typical of the butt deciding the head, some say that Arsenal play the favor card with both hard and soft, some say that Youmo refused to hire with a high salary because he is afraid of competition, and some say that the two sides have already reached a secret agreement that they will transfer to Chelsea at a sky-high price as soon as the season is over......
None of the above claims are groundless, especially the last one.
Abu spent a lot of money this summer, spending Β£120 million in less than two months. You Mo was on the long list of acquisitions, but he waited until the flowers were thanked, and he still didn't see the two clubs make a statement on the matter.
With the pride of the Russians, will they be frightened by the label "not for sale"?
Apparently impossible!
Everyone can see that Arsenal is by no means monolithic, as long as the number is large enough, as long as the parties nod, the possibility of transfer is not small. And judging from the fact that Abu Zeng secretly met with Youmo, Chelsea did not just talk about it and bluff people. This, combined with the disparity in quality shown by the home win by Manchester United, gives good reason to doubt the existence of a private agreement.
A folk master analyzed: "...... The gorgeous collapse at the end of last season made MO's efforts go to waste. No one is left untouched by the title, and he is no exception, so the team's move in the summer transfer market is crucial and a bellwether for him to stay at Arsenal! β
"The results are clear."
"Arsenal also has buyers, but compared to the three big players of Anelka, Ovemas and Petit who have been sold, the newcomers are at most fill-in. It's still far from reinforced! β
When the opponents of the championship have shown their determination with big strokes, the disappointment in Mo's heart can be imagined. It is normal to have the idea of leaving in this situation, but after all, he has only been in the team for a year, and the impact of frequent transfers is not good, coupled with the club's hard work to retain him, and Wenger's repeated lobbying. He eventually decided to stay and fight for another year. β
'Abu's interest in him is an open secret, but the Russians have already spent close to Β£300 million this summer, and it would be a bit overwhelming to spend a lot of money on Arsenal. So the two sides reached an agreement to wait until the end of the season to activate the transfer through a formal offer. β
"I didn't expect it to come with a horizontal bar!"
"If it weren't for the sudden outburst of WE, United would have been in a good position to come home with defeat at Stamford Bridge. Ferguson sensed the crisis and decided to strike first! β
"Mo has already promised Wenger, so naturally it is not good to regret it temporarily, so after coordinating with the club. Salaries were raised symbolically to Β£35,000. β
"Even if Manchester United failed to buy it, they managed to raise the transfer price, which can be regarded as a no-capital deal. Of course, Chelsea don't want to dream too much at night, but in this case, it is obviously suspected of being wronged to pay a high price, so they can only prove themselves with their performance on the field. β
"By the way, it is wishful thinking to wash off the 'nouveau riche' label on their heads, proving that Arsenal still wants to compete for the title through low-cost small investment!"
Although most of this analysis is based on brain supplements, there is indeed plausibility in it. Released before such a focus battle, it is easy to ignite the powder keg. Turned a game that didn't mean revenge into a "battle of ideas"!
In the end, like the former Manchester United team, adhere to the tradition, use pure football to attack the championship, and achieve the road to giants; Or like the current Chelsea team, through strong financial resources to continue to close the gap. Until you achieve great things?
The collision of these two concepts has been a long time, but it has never been so concentrated and fermented as in front of us, and even reached the height of a decisive victory.
Ahead of Sunday's game, both coaches and midfielders were interviewed.
First of all, Chelsea.
The 4-1 record puts the team ahead of their city rivals in the standings after five rounds for the first time in nearly eight seasons. The big war is imminent. It's the time when they get angry about their presence.
Ranieri is also a veteran in the coaching circle, although his reputation is not as loud as Wenger, his ability to see the dishes is unanimously recognized. The so-called "tinkerer" does not sound lofty enough, but it is the most suitable coach for the Chelsea team in front of him.
β...... ArsΓ¨ne Wenger represents Arsenal's team-building philosophy and is an admirable master tactician. Arsenal have been brilliant under him, but last season's final result speaks for itself. β
A few words don't sound aggressive, but the message is clear.
There's nothing wrong with pursuing style, but it's not right to be an excuse to miss out on a championship!
Ibrahimovic is now also a hot future superstar in the Premier League, with just five games to reach the Β£20 million mark. Not to mention whether there is water or not, it can be unanimously recognized inside and outside the circle in such a short period of time, and the incredible creativity of the Swedes is breathtaking.
The off-field performance was equally high-profile.
β...... If he goes to Manchester United, he may replace one of their team and become one of the Premier League MVP contenders. What are the prospects for staying at Arsenal? I don't see it. β
These words kill two birds with one stone, and Fanny unfortunately lies down with a gun.
In the face of this kind of provocation by Chiguoguo, the anger that the Arsenal soldiers had easily calmed was rekindled.
Yumo's damage work wonderfully, and Arsene Wenger, who has always been a beloved man in the team, has now become the target of the players' gnashing of teeth. Inspired by this, the Frenchman was unceremonious in his pre-match interview.
β...... Chelsea have muddied the market and want to solve everything with a big buyout. I don't deny the huge role that money plays in the world of football, but the soul of a team can't be money, right? Of course, if they say yes, I have nothing to say. β
The information revealed between the lines is obvious, and it can be recognized by many people, but the expression is really a bit bitter, and the spearhead is directly aimed at the opponent's weakness.
Fighting for money?
Since Patrick Vieira captained the team, his exposure has increased significantly, but his performance on the pitch has not been as impressive as last season. After being reprimanded in the last game, the evil anger in his chest urgently needs to be vented.
β...... All the time. Our rivals are Tottenham and Chelsea are just quiet neighbours. It's different now, they've put together a bunch of motley players who want to dominate the Premier League with us. They seem to have forgotten that the Champions League is the most convincing battleground! β
These words are provocative, and they have the momentum to fight for the Champions League. It is a blessing for the onlookers who are not too big to watch the excitement.
Last season's Champions League semi-finals were seeded this season, which is a reward for Arsenal's breakthrough. After the group draw, the three opponents Benfica, Ajax, and Lokomotiv Moscow were not very strong, and the qualifying situation was very good.
Chelsea, by contrast, have been unlucky, facing the likes of seeded Barcelona in the same group. There is also the Bundesliga powerhouse Borussia Dortmund, and the Champions League regular Paris Saint-Germain, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the group of death.
But to be honest, as a newcomer to the Champions League, even if you invest heavily in buying, buying, buying, buying, it is difficult to quickly enter the realm of the giants, and it is inevitable that you will be targeted when you draw lots. Only after relying on his own strength to fight his way out of the encirclement and become a regular visitor to the knockout round. This stage can be considered to have been successfully passed.
Arsenal are on the rise, and Chelsea are just starting to get started. Therefore, Vieira's remarks seem to be off-topic, but in fact add another firewood to the already lively derby!
The fire is already raging, the smell of gunpowder is everywhere, what is the guy in focus doing?
A banquet was held at home to celebrate Yao Xia's official becoming a member of the Manchester United team and about to wear the No. 93 red shirt!
It's not common to see numbers this big. Needless to say, the implication can be seen at a glance.
After six o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Wei, Zheng Jian, Yao Xia. A group of three people appeared in the living room of the house and had a cordial meeting with You Mo, Wang Dan, and Jiang Xiaolan.
Due to the urgency of time, dinner did not wait for anyone, so they did not have politeness, no greetings, and went directly into the nonsense link as soon as they came up.
The first to speak was Wang Dan, a former sports reporter for a well-known newspaper in Sichuan, who had been on TV and had the style of a host.
"Today, it is to celebrate Yao Xia's personal career has taken a big step forward, and he is about to ...... on a new stage in front of the people of the whole country."
was interrupted miserably before he finished speaking, and Lu Wei directly poured a basin of cold water on him, "Will there be a live broadcast of the reserve team's game?" β
The truth is that the limbs are weak, and the waist and knees are sore, but fortunately, the party is wide-hearted, and he said with a big grin: "Just play the game, whether he is prepared or not!" β
As if to carry out the disharmony to the end, Lu Wei immediately continued: "There are more than 11 people in the reserve team, right?" β
Depend on!!!
Did this thing eat gunpowder?
Can you die without spoiling the scenery?
Yao Xia is not a child, does she need to be reminded like this?
Everyone was complaining frantically in their hearts, Jiang Xiaolan couldn't help but lower her voice and asked the guy next to her: "What's wrong with him, so angry?" β
Zheng Yan looked helpless, "Alas, it's been like this recently, menopause has arrived." β
The sparse laughter sounded, Wang * Dan's face was a little unbearable, and he said: "Borrowing your old man's auspicious words, Yao Xia will use his strength to prove that he is not worthy of being the starter." β
With that, he turned his head and glared hatefully at the guy who was looking at the joke.
You Mo immediately tightened his face, and his voice was impassioned, "Comrades, the revolution has just begun, and it is unreliable to count on the support of the people of the whole country, don't mess up because you are worried about the people of the whole country!" β
The effect of the speech was still average, and Yao Xia's urn responded angrily in the midst of laughter, and his facial expression stiffened.
He actually knew why Lu Wei was so-for-tat, what really made him uncomfortable was the guy who threw the godhead aside, and did not hide his mortal side in front of him.
He didn't quite adapt to his new role, and he didn't know whether to keep his distance or move out.
Maybe it was the feeling of getting along with You Mo day and night that made him can't help but classify Lu Wei into the same kind of people, and after the initial freshness passed, the various differences between each other made him at a loss.
This time, he actually had the heart to ask about it. As a result, before he could take the opportunity to speak, the situation was already embarrassing.
How is it good?
"By the way, do you know what China thinks of Manchester United's acquisition?" Wang Dan reluctantly changed the subject.
It didn't work out too badly, and everyone's appetite was hung up.
Jiang Xiaolan was a little nervous, and asked cautiously, "What would you say?" Will you think that Mo Mo and Lu Wei have a conflict, so they are reluctant to go to Manchester United? β
This genius-like brain replenishment ability immediately stunned everyone.
Isn't it obvious why Lu Wei is in a mood, how can he be 108,000 miles away?
"Where do you want to go, the domestic media don't believe it at all, and it's hype!" Wang Dan said casually, his eyes rolled, and he thought about it, "By the way, have you two quarreled or moved?" β
Since Lu Wei feels that Youmo's contribution at Arsenal is not proportional to the gain, it is better to leave it to the parties.
"Quarrels are commonplace, fights, it seems that there have been?"
Without waiting for Lu Wei to answer, You Mo's answer had already stunned the friends.
Potluck?
"Yes, I punched you in the jaw."
Lu Wei's answer obviously added fuel to the fire, and Yao Xia, like an idiot, stared at You Mo for a full two seconds before asking, "It hurts, doesn't it?" β
You Mo nodded violently and wiped his tears, "No, I cried when it hurt!" β
Such clumsy acting skills made Wang * Dan couldn't stand it, and his apricot eyes glared, "You deserve to be beaten, is it that you are molesting a girl and don't want to be responsible?" β
It was originally a joking guess, but it turned out to be stunned by the two parties.
Guessed so accurately, did you completely reverse it for the hairy object?
"Okay, I've caught you!" Wang Dan suddenly jumped to his feet, "Say, say, say, don't say...... Don't even think about eating! β
"Not allowed to eat?" You Mo looked shocked, "Is it okay to drink milk?" β
Everyone was speechless for a while, but Zheng Yan saw that the guy next to him had a strange look. Turning his head, he found that Jiang Xiaolan was actually blushing, so he asked in a low voice, "No, you really feed him?" β
"What's the ...... Once, I accidentally took the cup that I usually drink water and squeezed the leftover milk of Yujia into it, and the result was ......"
"Why do you want to squeeze it out, will it be different next time?"
"It's going to swell and ......"
Zheng Yan was fascinated for a while when he heard this, hesitated for a moment, did not expose the goods in public, and hugged Jiang Xiaolan while whispering. The others were unaware of it, still admiring the judge's trial.
Can You Mo be honest?
Of course not, Lu Wei's divorce is such a thing......
can't explain honestly, so I can only carry the black pot and play the negative man again. Fortunately, this cargo has long been familiar with the road, and the rookies were sent away in a few words.
The topic then changed, and Wang Dan continued to ask: "Since you often quarrel, why do you still feel like two guys in a pair of pants?" β
Hearing this, You Mo turned his head and smiled at Yao Xia, "The person who can make you feel at ease and boldly quarrel with him is worth your doing." β
Everyone was confused, but Yao Xiaopang nodded excitedly.
All along, he has offered Lu Wei to the god seat and used his attitude towards idols to get along with him. He didn't think there was anything wrong with it, but he understood it from another angle.
True respect is to open one's heart, communicate with each other, collide, and produce sparks, rather than hiding one's true views like a servant, and narrowing the distance between each other with respect.
"I see!"
Hearing this, everyone was even more angry, and they all reprimanded the immoral behavior of playing dumb riddles.
Lu Wei shook his head with a smile as if he had let go of what was in his mind. (To be continued.) )
