Chapter 187: Signing
'Yes, it's a choice that doesn't need to be judged, I signed a new contract with Arsenal, just yesterday, so there was no need for any hesitation.
…
'Playing for Arsenal has always been a dream of mine, and now that dream has come true, I want to continue forever, forever.
…
'I believe in my future at Arsenal and I believe in my ability to bring something to Arsenal, I enjoy everything here and thank the club and the fans for everything.'
In an interview with Arsenal's official website, Xiang Hao gave a positive answer to the question of his own contract.
There was no ceremony, Wenger just wanted to take the opportunity to make the announcement.
No way, who called Galliani to appear in London, this old Italian man has shown an unusual love for Xiang Hao since last summer, but not at all.
Although some media said that Galliani came to the UK for Kaka's transfer.
But obviously, the shortest distance from Milan to Manchester City is not required to go through London.
The purpose of the Italians coming to London can be roughly speculated.
You must know that before this, AC Milan had already made an offer to Xiang Hao, but it was too low and was beaten back by Arsenal.
Therefore, in order to eliminate all kinds of speculation about Xiang Hao's transfer, on the second day of Xiang Hao's signing, Wenger arranged this interview and announced it on the official website, which also attracted countless messages from fans.
"Huh, Hao, finally signed a contract, great!"
"Hehe, in the end, it's a member of the team we trained, so there's no need for any hesitation."
"Made's, look at who said that we still have to sell people, that group of ****, Hao is different from others, he is our child!"
"Hey, it's a shame that Hao signed a new contract, I thought we had a chance to get him."
"Tsk, why didn't you start earlier, I heard that his previous liquidated damages were less than 20 million euros, and this must be expensive to death."
"Wenger plant well, plant well, let's sass!"
With the announcement of Xiang Hao's signing, Arsenal fans are naturally jubilant.
Fans of other teams, especially those in the Premier League, have a feeling of grief.
For Xiang Hao's performance, they, the Premier League fans, are in their eyes, young and handsome, talented, and proper superstar seedlings, can they not be biased, naturally they can't help YY, and now that their hopes are shattered, they are naturally depressed.
However, this frustration did not last long, after all, they supported a certain team, not people, not their own team's food, and they were destined not to linger.
As for the local tyrants like Chelsea and Manchester City, they couldn't help but laugh twice, without him, everyone knows that you Arsenal have no money.
In this world, if there is no money, there are naturally various possibilities, and X money trading is the most natural.
Didn't the Togolese people say before that they must help Arsenal win the championship, and even shouted that if Arsenal didn't win the championship, he would retire, but it was normal for him to turn his face and devote himself to other clubs.
In any case, Xiang Hao's renewal of the new contract can be regarded as a relatively perfect ending, there is no big wave, and the most disappointing thing may be Italy's plus baldness.
But even his head is bald, this kind of thing, thinking about it, is still acceptable, Galliani packed his bags, left London overnight, and flew back to Milan, he never wanted to mention this person who rejected him twice in a row.
However, as soon as Galliani got off the plane, a reporter immediately surrounded him and asked him about the progress this time, "Mr. Adriano, may I ask if you went to the UK this time for Kaka's transfer?" ”
'Excuse me, have you spoken to Chelsea manager Scolari?'
"Will Kaka move this winter?"
…
All kinds of things are about Kaka.
There is no way, the bald itinerary was exposed by British coal, and the media is naturally curious, you must know that the entire Milan City, and even the whole of Italy, are crazy rumors that AC Milan is going to sell Kaka, can these Italian media not ask.
As for Xiang Hao, I'm sorry, in front of the former Golden Ball Award and World Footballer, it's really not one, they don't care much and don't mention it.
They don't mention it, but Galliani can't help but mention it, although he values Xiang Hao very much, but in Milan and Italy, Kaka's status is much heavier than Xiang Hao.
Milan fans and Italian fans must know that they are peddling cards this time, and they must not hate themselves for going crazy.
Galliani immediately thought of a way to shift the target, "I didn't go this time because of Kaka, I talked to Mr. Chairman and the head coach, Kaka is not for sale for us, so my trip this time has nothing to do with Kaka."
I was there to talk about Hao, but unfortunately I failed, and although we raised the price, Arsenal FC were not willing to sell their players.
And Hao, he is the one who turned down Milan twice, he turned down a very good contract, I am a little disappointed, but I will bless him, he will be a good player, if I have the opportunity, I look forward to meeting him. ”
shifted the main target to Xiang Hao, the way to move the disaster to the east, as for whether the transfer can be successful, Galliani doesn't know, what the impact is, he can't care so much.
Anyway, Xiang Hao is not a player of AC Milan now, and it is not his turn to care.
Having failed twice, he knew that he might have missed out on this genius forever.
His boss's plans for the club, or he has no plans anymore, his rights will only get smaller and smaller in the future, and that player will only become more and more famous in the future, and his worth will only get higher and higher.
AC Milan may not really be able to afford that player, and Galliani is not afraid to 'confess' him.
"Twice rejected Milan, the talented English boy who staged the big four in Europe - Hao? - Milan Sports Newspaper
The Italian media reported Galliani's words, and also introduced Xiang Hao's deeds a little, making Xiang Hao more famous.
Galliani's rhetoric did not cause much stir in Italy, after all, they are now more concerned about the domestic situation, especially the transfer of Kaka.
But the English media is different, hype is their first priority, Xiang Hao once again rejected an international giant like AC Milan, stayed at Arsenal, signed a new contract, and immediately appeared in major newspapers.
"Loyal, Hao rejects AC Milan for Arsenal" - Daily Express
"Refuse to Sell! Arsenal lock in the core of the next fifteen years - Daily Mail
"The Strongest Signing! Arsenal Hold on to Hope - The Times
Loyalty! Hao entrusts himself to Arsenal" - Daily Mirror
The choice of a lifetime! Arsenal keep academy gems - The Guardian
…
Except for some newspapers with ulterior motives, they are all praises for Xiang Hao's signing this time, which is regarded as a victory of loyalty, and Xiang Hao is greatly praised.
You know, Galliani is talking about a very good contract, and he is also out in person, and he wants to come to a big club like AC Milan, so he can't be stingy.
refused, and refused twice, such an act is naturally worth mentioning.
In England, except for a few newspapers, or a few reporters, there is no reporter who wants to see Xiang Hao leave the Premier League.
They believe that as long as Xiang Hao can continue to grow, he will be a banner of the Premier League, just like Gerrard and Frank Lampard.
And the most important thing is that he can bring a lot of topics to these newspapers, and it has only been a little more than half a season, and they are willing to let him go.
So seeing Arsenal's refusal to betray Xiang Hao, they are all jubilant, as a league victory, you know, Xiang Hao is now the existence of the Premier League newcomer king, and he is very popular.
In the Arsenal team, with Xiang Hao's new contract completed, basically, there is nothing left, and he devotes himself to training.
"Get me moving, speed up, and fight back at speed."
"Don't hesitate, don't hesitate to play!"
Watching the old man shouting at the training ground, Eduardo, who was doing strength training, couldn't help but ask, "Hey, Sesk, what's wrong with the boss, I've been so excited these days." ”
"Hehe, can't you see it, Hao has signed a new contract." Fabregas, who was sitting on the side, explained with a smile.
Deeply relied on by Wenger, Fabregas can naturally feel Wenger's love for talented young players, at this time, Wenger looked at Xiang Hao's gaze as if he was signing the contract back then. Fabregas was naturally able to think of it.
"Well, Hao's signing is good news."
Rosicky still had that gentle smile and made a summary, looking at Eduardo, who was slowly strengthening, "Eduardo, how is your recovery?" ”
Of the three, Rosicky has been confirmed for the season, Cesc Fabregas is four months injured, and the only one who can play now is Edward, who broke his leg last year and is now.
Since the end of last year, he has slowly begun to return to normal training, and his comeback is estimated to be in the near future, so Rosicky, who is an 'old comrade-in-arms', can't help but care about it.
"Well, it should be the end of the month, and I'll train with those reserve team members first."
Eduardo couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, and confidently and eagerly watched a group of teammates fight in groups.
As for Fabregas and Rosicky, they just nodded, the two of them, now they are not even as good as Eduardo, this kind of look is more just expectation.
"Hao, remember, in the offense, if you have the opportunity, try to let go of your speed, use you to drive the advancement of the whole team, add an attack point, do you understand."
During the training break, Wenger took the initiative to come over to remind Xiang Hao.
"Well, I understand." Xiang Hao nodded, indicating that he understood the intention of Wenger's arrangement.
Quite simply, without Cesc Fabregas, Nasri can't completely replace him, and someone has to shoulder the attacking burden in midfield.
Let Xiang Hao increase the number of forward insertions, just to take turns between Xiang Hao and Nasri, so that they can become the existence of a direct threat to the opponent's goal.
Xiang Hao is the breakthrough point that Wenger seeks in attack, and Wenger naturally wants to make him sharp.
In the next two days of training, Wenger consciously let Xiang Hao in the middle, insert more back, and take turns with Nasri to attack the penalty area to maintain his offensive vitality.
The Arsenal players used their strongest mental outlook to welcome the rekindled Premier League curtain.
