211 Arsenal
"Mr. Gazidis, you are too polite."
Jin Ming came to London very low-key.
Wen Dongfang and Jin Ming came to London completely quietly. The thrilling German Cup final has been over for two months.
However, there are still many people who are talking about Jin Ming's goal in that game.
In particular, Jin Ming's free kick lob shot.
In that game, Schalke finally swept Bayern 4-1, Schalke also won the German Cup for a second time, and also won the Europa League and German Cup double last season. Jin Ming scored two shots and one pass in the German Cup final and won the best player in the German Cup final. He also became the top scorer in the German Cup with 14 goals.
Of course, in the end, Jin Ming undoubtedly won the Most Valuable Player of the German Cup, that is, the best player of the German Cup.
Jin Ming's accolades at Schalke last season were more than that.
The German Professional Footballers' Union voted the best player in the Bundesliga in 2011/12, and Jin Ming alone received 37 percent of the votes. Behind Kim Ming was Borussia Mönchengladbach's Reuss with 17 percent of the vote, Ribery with 16 percent and Huntelaar with 15 percent.
In other words, Jin Ming became the best player in the Bundesliga in the 11-12 season selected by the German Professional Players' Union.
Jin Ming scored 14 goals and provided 19 assists in the Bundesliga. helped Schalke finish third in the Bundesliga in the 11-12 season and get a Champions League place this season.
In his third year in Germany, Jin Ming finally won the best player in the Bundesliga.
Jin Ming's worth is constantly rising.
After all, Jin Ming won almost all of his individual honors last season. He won the German Cup Player of the Year, the Bundesliga Player of the Year, and the Europa League Player of the Year.
In all the competitions that Jin Ming participated in last season, Jin Ming won the best player.
In Schalke's 100-year history, no player has won the title of best player in all competitions like Jin Ming. It can be said that Jin Ming is the player with the most personal honors in Schalke's history.
Such a performance has made Jin Ming already far away from the so-called young player category.
Therefore, in the current media, no one will say anything like a young talent or a young player when calling Jin Ming.
On the German website, Jin Ming's worth has climbed to 28 million euros. So much so that many people ridiculed Arsenal, saying that Arsenal earned five million euros just after buying Jin Ming.
Jin Ming's wonderful performance in Schalke has made Chinese football completely crazy. Because when did the Chinese players have such a wonderful performance. When has there ever been a player of such heights. In addition to the famous Gao Taishi Gao Yu, it is the legendary ball king Li Huitang.
But the two above didn't dare to say that they were obscene, but they were definitely just ridiculing. Even if it was Li Huitang, even if he was the king of Asian football back then, there were not many countries in East Asia and Southeast Asia at that time.
A lot of things, on the contrary, legends are greater than facts.
And Jin Ming's achievements are real.
Jin Ming's wonderful performance last season has been completely affirmed by the mainstream media in European football. So much so that even Arsenal fans are looking forward to Jin Ming's new season's performance.
Arsenal's training camp for the new season is about to begin.
Jin Ming and Wen Dongfang appeared in London in a very low-key manner, but they didn't expect that it was Arsenal's CEO Gazidis who came to pick up Jin Ming and Wen Dongfang.
"Kim, last season's Europa League final and German Cup final, Asenak watched the game live."
"I know."
Jin Ming nodded.
Big names like Arsene Wenger. Appearing in any place will get media attention. As a result, Arsene Wenger rarely appears in some games at random. Jin Ming had already seen the news of Wenger's appearance in these two games from the newspaper.
It's just that Wenger appeared on the scene unexpectedly, but after the game, he didn't meet Jin Ming, but quietly left the scene.
"He was very happy. Because you're better than he ever imagined. ”
"Thank you."
Jin Ming was of course very happy.
In the next few years, Jin Ming does not know how many years. Anyway, in the next few years, Jin Ming will play at Arsenal. has to play under Wenger, and Jin Ming is of course very happy to be affirmed by Wenger.
Jin Ming doesn't know a lot about Arsene Wenger, but it's definitely a lot.
Because Arsene Wenger is the Arsenal manager. I've been at Arsenal for fifteen or sixteen years. Many media outlets, whether they are chasing the wind or not, have reported a lot about Wenger anyway.
The point is that Wenger is a very stubborn man.
Especially when it comes to the use of players, Arsene Wenger has been praised by many as being very stubborn. Arsene Wenger is a player he affirms, and Arsene Wenger will trust him infinitely. Give him unlimited opportunities. Even if he doesn't look good, the people next to him have a lot of doubts about his use, and he rarely wavers.
But again, Arsene Wenger vetoed the player. It's hard to get Arsene Wenger's affirmation back.
So to be able to get Arsene Wenger's affirmation is very important at Arsenal. In European football, there are few coaches like Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger. Arsene Wenger spent more than a decade at Arsenal. At Arsenal, the authority is not comparable to the average person.
Arsene Wenger's use of players, even the Arsenal hierarchy is not qualified to interfere.
'Kim, the mood in the Arsenal dressing room may not be good at the moment. I hope you don't get affected. ”
"I know."
Jin Ming understood what Gazidis meant.
The biggest problem in Arsenal's dressing room at the moment is Robin van Persie. Not only did Robin van Persie reject Arsenal's request for a contract extension, but what shocked Arsenal fans even more was that Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson had just confirmed their offer for Van Persie.
It was shocking.
It was a real shock. It wasn't just the Arsenal fans who were shocked, but the Arsenal players were also shocked. Because although Manchester United and Arsenal are not bitter enemies for a century, when Wenger just landed in England, the competition between Manchester United and Arsenal was the biggest topic.
At that time, Manchester United and Arsenal were very angry every time they played.
The confrontation between Vieira and Keane, the rivalry between Thierry Henry and Ruud van Nistelrooy, and the bickering between Ferguson and Arsene Wenger were all a spectacle in the Premier League at the time. Although in recent years, because of the rise of Chelsea and Manchester City, Arsenal has fallen behind, so that the fire of Manchester United and Arsenal has slowly decreased.
There is also less of the-for-tat between Ferguson and Arsene Wenger.
But even so, Manchester United's desire to bring in the captain of Arsenal and Arsenal's top player is still a big shock. When Manchester United and Arsenal will also have player transfers.
Even Jin Ming was shocked when he heard the news.
Robin van Persie wants to join Manchester United?
Although Jin Ming has long been prepared for Van Persie's departure from Arsenal, Gazidis and Arsene Wenger have both spoken about Van Persie. Arsenal estimate that it will be difficult for Arsenal to keep Van Persie. But when he joined Manchester United, Jin Ming was still very shocked. There are even some who can't understand their choices.
Just like Neuer chose Bayern, if Van Persie chooses Manchester United, Jin Ming is really incomprehensible.
Like Van Persie's cousin last season, there are many teams that want to bring in Van Persie. Of course, Jin Ming doesn't know the specific inside story, but Jin Ming always thinks that he should go to a foreign competition.
Manchester United is not the only team in European football.
Although Jin Ming has not yet reported to Arsenal, Jin Ming can imagine the current situation in the Arsenal dressing room. After all, it was his own captain who turned out to defect to a rival, and it turned out to be Arsenal's previous rival Manchester United.
Such a situation is probably difficult for anyone to understand.
"Welcome, Kim."
Jin Ming came over to meet with the big army, and Gazidis talked to Wen Dongfang about some other issues. It's already July and soon Arsenal will be on their Asian trip. China is the most important stop of Arsenal's Asian tour, and Gazidis also wants to communicate with Wen Dongfang about how to squeeze Jin Ming's business potential.
And Jin Ming came to Arsenal's training camp.
Wenger saw Jin Ming's arrival, stood up with a smile, stretched out his hand and shook Jin Ming's hand.
"Thanks, Coach Arsene Wenger."
"Meet your teammates."
"Okay."
Jin Ming nodded.
Jin Ming is a new player, two days later than the Arsenal assembly time. The rest of the Arsenal players met two days earlier than Jin Ming, and Wenger clapped his hands for the players to assemble. Then he pushed Jin Ming out, and then said: "Our new signing, I believe everyone should know about him." Gold from China. ”
Jin Ming took a step forward and said to the Arsenal players: "Hello everyone, I'm Jin Ming. I hope to cooperate well in the future. ”
Arsene Wenger speaks English, and so does Jin Ming. However, Jin Ming looked at Arsenal's first-team lineup and had to sigh that there were so many French players at Arsenal.
Diaby, Sagna, Koscielny, Squeeraki, Coquelin and Ligue Giroud, who has just joined Arsenal, are all French players. And Nasri and Klich, who left Arsenal last summer, are French players.
And Vermaelen, the core of Arsenal's backline, is French-speaking, and Chamak, Gervinho, and Park Joo-young are all from Ligue 1.
The connection between Arsenal and French football can be seen.
At this moment, Jin Ming felt that he should really learn French. With so many French-speaking players here, it is estimated that French must be very popular in the Arsenal dressing room. No, these French players usually only speak French, not English.
"Alright, Kim. You go for a simple test first, and let's see how you are doing. ”
After Arsene Wenger introduced Jin Ming to the Arsenal players, he asked Jin Ming to be tested. Because it was a two-month holiday, the first thing all the players did when they returned to the club was to undergo a physical test.
"Yes."
Some people are very interested in the arrival of Jin Ming, and some people are indifferent. Robin van Persie, the captain, is going to Manchester United, and who knows what else will happen. Anyway, there are not many people who really care about Jin Ming's arrival. Many people are concerned about their future. (To be continued......)
