232 Derby

"Theo, now it's up to you to choose."

Walcott's agent spoke to Walcott weakly.

Originally, Walcott was full of confidence, and Walcott's agent was even more confident, and they both believed that Arsenal would definitely give in. Arsenal's loss of Robin van Persie and Alexander Song in the summer, especially the loss of Robin van Persie as the captain of the team, was a big blow to Arsenal.

Robin van Persie is Arsenal's last superstar player.

Van Persie has been at Arsenal for more than eight years and is the only Arsenal player to have seen the title and Arsene Wenger's chosen captain. Such a player eventually left Arsenal and joined Manchester United, which had a huge impact on Arsenal.

And Walcott is the person at the forefront of Arsenal in terms of qualifications and strength, except for Van Persie.

Although there are many people who criticize Walcott's strength, thinking that he has not grown much over the years. But in Arsenal, Walcoat is definitely the oldest and most powerful, and he is still one of Arsenal's rare active England internationals.

Don't look at Arsenal's claim to have six young people in England, but Ramsey is a Welshman, and Wilshere has not returned from an injury for more than a year. Gibbs and Jenkinson are both shaky and are the big colander in the Arsenal backline, and Oxlade-Chamberlain is still too young.

Only Walcott is the strongest and has the most solid position in the national team. He is currently the only representative player of Arsenal in the England national team. As a result, Walcott has a high status at Arsenal.

As the saying goes, it is better to be the head of a chicken, not the tail of a phoenix.

Walcoat is not really going to leave Arsenal when he talks about his contract, he wants Arsene Wenger to confirm his status. Define your place at Arsenal and make yourself the boss of Arsenal after Robin van Persie.

For this, he made several conditions with Arsene Wenger.

One of them is £100,000 a week, and Walcott's meaning is simple: the club must give Arsenal the highest salary. The salary is a table xiàn a player's status at the club, and now Arsenal's highest salary is 100,000 pounds for Kim Ming. Therefore, Walcott wanted the highest salary. It must not be less than 100,000 pounds from Jin Ming. What is needed is a guarantee of status.

One of the next demands is for Arsene Wenger to secure his place.

One is asking for himself to play as a centre-forward, and the other is asking Arsene Wenger to guarantee his starting position. Walcott's role model is Thierry Henry, who wants to become an Arsenal legend like Thierry Henry.

That's why he asked Arsene Wenger to give him a place as a centre-forward. And this requirement is directly within the scope of negotiations.

It's all because Walcott is confident.

Walcoat is confident that Arsenal will not be able to afford to lose an active international player of his own. That's what Walcott is very confident about. Because don't look at the criticism of many people, but in Arsenal he is still the sharpest weapon. If Theo Walcoat is gone, Arsenal won't really have any veterans.

But soon Walcott was in a very difficult situation.

Although Arsenal's performance this season has not been very good, Walcott has found that he is not a necessary player for Arsenal right now. In terms of Arsenal's current squad, it is certainly better to have Walcott, but without Walcott the attack is not paralyzed. Chamberlain, who replaced Walcott, is not as good as Walcoat at the moment. But the impact on the flanks is not bad.

What's more, Jin Ming's table on the side is very exciting. Jin Ming is on the left side, breaking through to the side is a fullback, and breaking through to the penalty area is a winger. After having Jin Ming, the opponent's defensive line is completely placed here in Jin Ming. As a result, the pressure on Chamberlain's side was greatly reduced, and Chamberlain's appearance on the wing was also very good.

In this way, Arsenal does not have the problem of attacking power at the moment.

This left Walcott with fewer and fewer chips in his hands, and Walcott really didn't want to leave. So now it's Walcott's side that has to make up its mind.

"Do I have any other options?"

Walcoat also frowned.

Truth be told, Walcoat really has no shortage of buyers. If Walcoat were to leave Arsenal, there would not be one or two teams willing to take over. In the Premier League, there are also strong teams such as Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester City, who are willing to bring in Theo Walcott.

In any case, Walcott is also an active England international and has a lot of influence in his home country. And his characteristics are obvious. Speed is his greatest strength. Even if you can't play the main team, coming off the bench can have a very good effect. A player of Walcott's characteristics can eat anywhere.

Anyway, for strong teams such as Manchester United, Chelsea, and Manchester City, the last thing they lack is money. Give a substitute £100,000 a week. It's not a big deal for them. Like Manchester City, many substitutes have a weekly salary of 1450,000 pounds.

However, the introduction is the introduction, and the status is different.

Walcoat is now in contract trouble with Arsenal, so he was nailed to the bench by Arsenal. But his status is there, his seniority is there. As long as the contract is settled. He remains one of Arsenal's aces. The position at Arsenal is still among the top few.

But when it comes to Manchester United, Chelsea, Manchester City, Liverpool, they all have their own core players. Not just having your own spiritual leader, but also having a tactical core. Walcott didn't want to go to those clubs to give them a hand. And going to those clubs may not even be able to keep the main position.

So now Walcott is hesitant.

"Liverpool are willing to guarantee your place."

"Liverpool? Never mind. They can't even play in the Champions League. ”

Walcott shook his head.

Theo Walcott's agent and Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers' agent are one and the same. The agent in front of me is the same agent as Walcott and Rogers. But Walcoat would never have chosen to go to Liverpool. At the end of eight rounds of the Premier League, Liverpool's results are quite poor.

With Manchester United, Chelsea, Manchester City and Arsenal, it will be difficult for Liverpool to qualify for the Champions League this season. And now Liverpool's results are so poor that some people even predict whether Liverpool can qualify for Europe is a problem.

Theo Walcott will not choose to join Liverpool to play in the Europa League or even in the Europa League.

So Walcoat shook his head firmly.

"Theo, then there's only one way. That's where you give in. ”

"Shit."

Walcott couldn't help but curse. How it came to be like this. Originally, they had an absolute advantage, and Arsenal was begging for their own. But now it's like this.

"Hmph. Let's, I'll let. But don't let too much. If the club were really aggressive, I would have joined Manchester City. ”

Walcott thought about it and made it okay to do a little.

But Walcoat wasn't willing to concede too much. I still have the advantage of the contract. While he would love to stay at Arsenal, he won't hang himself here if Arsenal go too far.

"Okay, I know."

…………

Walcott wants to stay at Arsenal, and Arsenal wants to keep Walcott. After all, Walcott is a homegrown player, an active England international, and has a huge influence. There are many benefits to having homegrown stars for the team.

So the two sides quickly reached an agreement.

Arsenal eventually agreed to Walcott's salary demand, giving him a £100,000-a-week salary. Of course, Walcoat also made some concessions. He did not force Arsene Wenger to give himself a central striker position.

Anyway, it's one of the best news these days.

And for this good news, Arsenal will face a heavyweight match.

North London Derby.

Arsenal will soon be at home to north London rivals Tottenham.

"Jin Ming, what do you think of Adebayo and Gala?"

It's the same as the Ruhr that Jin Ming saw when he was in Schalke. The north London derby is the oldest derby in English football. The two sides are definitely mortal enemies for a hundred years.

Don't talk about things from ancient times.

Let's talk about the past ten years, the two sides have also come and gone, and the relationship is very bad. Eleven years ago, Tottenham captain Campbell moved to Arsenal on a free transfer at his peak, causing a sensation in European football that year. And with the decline of Arsenal in recent years, Arsenal players have also begun to go to Tottenham.

This is the case with Adebayo and Gala, which the reporter asked.

Bam Adebayor emerged as a top striker at Arsenal, scoring more than thirty goals in one season. And although Galla came to Arsenal from Chelsea, he was captain for a while.

But they're all at Manchester City now.

Jin Ming shrugged and said, "I'm not familiar with them. ”

Jin Ming didn't scold them. And they were not excused either. Anyway, Jin Ming is really unfamiliar with them, and it is correct to say that he is not familiar. Seeing that the reporter was a little regretful, Jin Ming continued: "How to transfer is their own business, I just came to Arsenal. I guess I can't comment on them. But if it were me, I would never have chosen to join Tottenham. ”

Jin Ming told the truth.

Even if Jin Ming and Arsenal fall out in the future, Jin Ming will not choose to join Tottenham.

Why bother?

There are so many clubs in European football, it's not good to choose who to choose. For such transfers between mortal enemies. Jin Ming was always incomprehensible.

"Walcoat just renewed, do you have anything to say?"

"I am very happy and very welcome. Theo is a very strong player. I always wanted him to stay at Arsenal. I am very happy with the renewal of his contract this time. I think the club is doing a really good job and a player like Theo deserves to stay at the club. An ambitious club can't afford to lose some great players all the time. ”

Walcott's stay was the happiest thing of this time.

Although Oxlade-Chamberlain is full of energy, he is much more tender than Walcoat in terms of experience and shooting. Although Jin Ming and Walcott did not communicate much within the team, Jin Ming was very happy that the club could keep a powerful player like Walcott.

Jin Ming's goal is to be the champion.

With players like Theo Walcott, Arsenal should not continue to lose. With more players like that, Arsenal will be able to win the title.

"Looking ahead to the results of the north London derby."

"We're going to win." (To be continued......)
