Chapter 184: Angry Wenger

"Toot-toot-tot-!"

Two short and one long, with Foy's whistle, the third round of the English FA Cup, Arsenal's match against Plymouth ended.

With that own goal, Arsenal's attack was no longer fruitless.

In the 59th minute, Vela received a pass from Nasri and volleyed in the penalty area; In the 83rd minute, Nasri took a corner kick, and Bendtner hit a bully to lock the score at 3-1.

One goal Arsenal conceded was Galla's loose marker and was tackled by Plymouth striker Dodd in an unguarded area.

Wenger's face was quite ugly when he saw the ball at the time, but fortunately, the game was almost over, and Wenger could be relieved.

During this time, Wenger was not satisfied with Garra's big mouth and various performances.

Otherwise, in the past few games, Wenger would not have started Toure, who was on the verge of leaving, and removed Galla.

Now that I think about it, the two centre-backs have reached an irreconcilable situation, and Wenger understands that he has made a trade-off, and it will be up to him to see how well they can perform.

Wenger secretly made up his mind that although he won this game, Wenger was not easy in his heart.

Whether it's the striker's chance or the Arsenal backline's usual mistakes, Arsene Wenger must address it as soon as possible.

With this in mind, Wenger appeared in the press room, but apparently the reporters present did not let Wenger worry.

"Coach Arsene Wenger, are you happy with the performance of your strikers in this game? Would you buy people in the forward line? ”

"The winter transfer has begun, Arsenal's poor backline, will you buy someone?"

"Coach Arsene Wenger, will Arsenal continue to sell people this winter?"

All kinds of things are curious about Arsenal's winter transfer.

These problems made Wenger quite irritable, but Wenger did not show these on his face, but a calm face.

'I'm very happy with my players, I can't find a reason to replace them, in this game, in the first half we wasted some chances, but in the second half the lads showed their ability to adjust themselves.

I can't think of a young and talented player like that, why I can't give them a chance, in fact, they used half time to tell our fans that they can be trusted.

As for the backline, there are some injuries but my players can handle it and if there are players who are suitable for us, we will look at following up.

But these are not necessary, I don't want to affect our internal relations, stability is the first step we have to do now.

As for selling people, we still have to fight on four fronts, and each member of our team has a task, so this issue will not appear on our agenda. ”

Wenger wanted to say with a firm attitude, he wanted to buy people, but the people on the board of directors had no money for themselves, so Wenger could only say it stubbornly.

The topic of selling people, if it weren't for the reason of demeanor, Wenger would definitely spray the face of the person who asked the question, and he felt that his manpower was not enough, and he still sold people, and let him not polish the team well.

Wenger thought that his attitude was so firm, because no one would ask similar questions again, but there were still people who did not know how to step forward.

"Coach Arsene Wenger, I heard that Benitez is considering trading Alonso and Hao, will Arsenal continue to pay attention to Alonso?"

The reporter of the Sun, seeing the opportunity to stand up, is a hot question.

Since the summer of last year, it has been rumored that Arsenal intends to bring in Alonso and Cesc Fabregas to partner them, and even Arsenal have made an offer to Liverpool.

Therefore, Wenger has an absolute interest in Alonso, and there is definitely room for hype and feasibility to exchange Alonso for Xiang Hao.

"I don't know where you got the news, but I'm telling you, all the transactions about Hao will not appear, and you can rest assured that this news will be released."

After saying a few words, Wenger turned the microphone off and refused all answers.

"But what is the reason for AC Milan officials coming to London again?"

"I heard that Mourinho called you personally, what did you talk about?"

Wenger underestimated the stalking efforts of this group of reporters, even if Wenger had turned off the microphone, but their questions were still unrelenting, and they had to ask why.

For all this, Wenger gave a cold face, not only refused to answer, and left the press conference directly, but also announced the end of this post-match press conference.

Wenger thought that he would be able to calm down when he returned to the office, but soon two offers appeared in front of Wenger, making his already bad face appear iron-blue.

"Damn, what the hell do they want, are they crazy."

Arsene Wenger scolded for the first time, and it was obvious that this offer completely angered Wenger.

In the old man's heart, Xiang Hao is one of the most important players in his future and one of the pillars of the team.

Now that he is only halfway out, there is speculation in the media that he is leaving, Arsenal is going to sell, and how Wenger is not angry.

In the future, as Xiang Hao's performance becomes better and better, such views will emerge in endlessly, and more importantly, this kind of hype will not be unfounded speculation, and more clubs will act.

But Wenger didn't expect them to move so quickly.

This time, at least Liverpool and AC Milan have been confirmed, and two offers have come.

AC Milan are going to pay in instalments for a total of £20 million.

At such a price, the Arsenal people didn't think about it, so they directly made a suggestion to refuse.

As for Liverpool, Gazidis wrote a 'no proposal', and the board of directors has already filled in feasible suggestions, which made Wenger furious.

Liverpool took out Lucas + £15 million, which was quite sincere, and told Arsenal that Arsenal could be given priority in future deals at Alonso.

As soon as such a price came out, Gazidis certainly agreed, at least in his opinion, Liverpool's 15 million was a real deal, and Arsenal had no money.

There is also a Brazilian talent like Lucas who can be considered, in his opinion, at least there is no loss of personnel, and Arsenal personnel are enough to cope.

And with a deal like Alonso in it, Gazidis certainly knows that Wenger covets the Spaniard, so he thinks Wenger can be tempted.

So this offer, which passed the board of directors smoothly, appeared in front of Wenger.

Wenger didn't expect that he was angry with reporters, and when he returned to the club, he was even more angry, and he was overshadowed behind his back, Wenger only felt that his head was confused, and his anger was instantly full.

Immediately picked up the office phone and dialed into the office of Gazidis, "Ivan, I don't want any offer from Hao to appear in my office again, if necessary, I will explain it directly to the board of directors, I think you understand what I mean." ”

Wenger, who was furious, no longer cared about etiquette and face, and for the first time ignored the power of this American 'dog', declared his position, and exercised his own head coaching power.

Although Wenger did not say 'stay away from his teammates', Wenger's warning could still be heard.

In the CEO's office, Gazidis was shocked and angry when he heard Wenger's words, shocked that the always mild Frenchman had such a tough attitude this time.

It is Wenger's attitude that is angry, which is a blatant disregard for his own existence, and dares to use such a tone to talk to himself as a CEO.

But Gazidis has no choice, he has only been in charge for a few months now, and his status in the club is far inferior to that of the other party, and the entire Arsenal youth army is now relying on Wenger.

At least he can carry the black pot for the club, at least he can cooperate with the club again and again, and make Arsenal look glamorous on the outside - he is rich, and he has always maintained the image of an English giant.

With £30 million coming in every year, Arsenal looks hopeful every year, with decent results and a good income.

For those arrogant board members, who have both face, do not lose money, and can resist the pot, where to find such a famous coach, at least people do not ask for a high price to buy people, but also sell people to bleed.

Gazidis knew that he couldn't get the 15 million pounds, so he could only nod regretfully, "Okay, Arthur, I understand your thoughts, but the winter transfer, you know." ”

Although Gazidis could not force Wenger to sell Xiang Hao, Gazidis did not plan to help Wenger contribute to the purchase.

"I understand, I'll talk to the board about that."

Fortunately, Wenger didn't count on the American, and he knew from Dunn's departure that in the future, the team could only rely on himself, and he had to rely on these businessmen, which was too unreliable.

Wenger was not interested in continuing to talk, and said: "Ivan, I'm sorry for what happened just now, but I hope you understand my dependence on Hao. If it's nothing, I'll hang up first. ”

After all, Gazidis is a businessman, and he naturally understands the principle of making money with kindness, and Wenger can still create wealth in a situation like Arsenal, in his opinion, it is the most important thing.

Gazidis didn't bother to pinch Wenger either, and nodded, "Well, I'm also sorry, I'll let you see this next time." ”

The two of them hung up the phone, Wenger didn't know what Gazidis was busy with, but Wenger's first thought was how to appease Xiang Hao and not let him have any 'too ambitious' thoughts.

In his opinion, as long as Xiang Hao doesn't want to leave, the rest is easy to do, otherwise, no matter how tough he is, no matter how strong he is, no matter how strong he is, it will have no effect.

In fact, Wenger is worried too much, and Xiang Hao has no idea of leaving Arsenal at all.

His idea now is to help the team get out of the situation and reach the top.

But now, Xiang Hao has to face a more pressing problem, a very personal problem - Ivanka is back.
