Faced with an outrageously high asking price, Benitez gave up on Jovetic directly!

And it didn't take long for news to come out of the transfer market that Fiorentina's Montenegrin Messijovitic had left Fiorentina to join Premier League side Manchester City.

Manchester City paid a transfer fee of 22 million pounds for Jovetic, which is about 30 million euros, which is much higher than Real Madrid's asking price, but it does not reach Fiorentina's asking price of 40 million euros.

After a series of losses in the transfer market, Benitez decided to put these problems aside for a while, and he went to find out the news about Zhang Ningpeng.

Benitez directly dialed Dongfang Chen's phone, and soon, Dongfang Chen answered the phone.

"Hey! Chief? What's the matter? There's no time to return to the team! For Benitez's call, Dongfang Chen was a little surprised.

Benitez said: "Congratulations on winning the Confederations Cup, my hero! ”

Dongfang Chen smiled and said, "You won't call just to congratulate me!" ”

Benitez also smiled and said, "Isn't it okay? ”

Dongfang Chen said: "Of course you can, but don't you think it's a bit late to send congratulations now?" ”

Benitez was slightly stunned, a little embarrassed, and then said: "Don't you have a saying in China that you are not afraid of being late when you have a good meal?" ”

Dongfang Chen was taken aback and said, "Wow! Boss: When did you learn so much about Chinese culture? ”

Benitez said angrily, "I've always known a lot, okay? ”

Dongfang Chen frowned and said, "Really? ”

Benitez said, "Isn't it? ”

Dongfang Chen was choked up instantly, and it was really awkward to talk to Benitez.

Dongfang Chen immediately said: "Boss, you just talk about things directly, right?" What's the matter with me? ”

Benitez was embarrassed again, he asked Shen Moan, and then said, "I...... Is it really that obvious? ”

Dongfang Chen didn't speak, just hehe.

Benitez wiped his forehead in embarrassment, and then said, "Okay, I'm looking for you today, it's okay!" ”

Dongfang Chen had such an expression and said, "I know!" Tell me, Lord, what's going on? ”

As soon as he was about to get down to business, Benitez immediately became serious, praising the mood he had when he was joking before.

Benitez said: "You know the problems of our team's backline, I want to ask you if there is any news about Zhang Ningpeng, what kind of player do you think he is? ”

Hearing this, Dongfang Chen was slightly stunned, he really didn't expect Benitez to fall in love with Zhang Ningpeng. It was too much of a surprise to him. Of course, he was also happy for Zhang Ningpeng.

Thinking about the question Benitez asked, Dongfang Chen said for a while: "He is a player with good strength, a player with lofty pursuits, and a player who is extremely strict with himself. He doesn't want to go to nightclubs as often as other players, and he doesn't have such a drunken life. His private life is very regular, and most of his time is spent training and improving himself. He's a hard worker. ”

Hearing Dongfang Chen comment on Zhang Ningpeng like this, Benitez glanced at Zhang Ningpeng again.

At this time, Benitez is more hopeful to bring in Zhang Ningpeng.

Benitez said: "What do you think is the success rate of our introduction of Zhang Ningpeng at this time? ”

Dongfang Chen said without thinking about it: "It's almost impossible!" He's very much in the shoes of Arsene Wenger at the moment, he's just taken a place in the Arsenal mainstay, and at this point I don't think he's going to leave Arsenal. ”

Benitez is also worried about this, he knows that if Zhang Ningpeng is a little more sensible, he will not leave the Arsenal team.

However, Benitez was really optimistic about Zhang Ningpeng, and he immediately asked: "Do you know his personal thoughts?" Why don't you find out about the situation first? See what he says? ”

Dongfang Chen heard Benitez's sincerity, and he said, "Then I want to know what Zhang Ningpeng's position in your heart is?" ”

Benitez smiled slightly, he knew that Dongfang Chen would ask like this.

Benitez did not hide it, saying: "You know the situation of our team, Sergio is definitely an absolute mainstay at right-back. Of course, you also know that our club is lacking a right-back substitute, if Zhang Ningpeng comes, he is not the main force, but there is definitely no shortage of opportunities to play. Also, if there is a shortage of central defenders, Sergio is likely to be in the position of central defender, so Zhang Ningpeng's opportunity will come, isn't it? ”

Dongfang Chen knew this situation very well, and he expected it. However, he also wanted to know more about it.

Dongfang Chen immediately asked: "This is a short-term plan, I know." I want to know about the long-term plan! ”

Benitez didn't hesitate and said directly: "To be honest, I'm very optimistic about Zhang Ningpeng. I think he still has a lot of room to dig and I think he should be a good replacement for Sergio Ramos, who will succeed Sergio as Real Madrid's main right-back in the future. Of course, the premise of all this is that he can adapt to La Liga and improve his strength! ”

After Benitez finished speaking, he added: "This is my true thought. Of course, I can't guarantee anything? Because no one can say what the future holds! ”

Dongfang Chen nodded and said, "Okay!" I will tell Zhang Ningpeng these truthfully. Whether he will say yes or not, though, I don't know. ”

Benitez immediately nodded and said, "Okay, I hope you will be soon!" Because we're running out of time! ”

Dongfang Chen knew this, and he immediately said: "Okay, then let's do it for now, I'll call you back later!" ”

After hanging up the phone, Dongfang Chen directly dialed Zhang Ningpeng's phone.

Zhang Ningpeng went home to accompany his parents and wife at this time, because he would soon leave China and fly to the United States to join the Arsenal team.

The phone didn't ring a few times, and Zhang Ningpeng answered the phone.

"Hey, hello Brother Chen! What's the matter? Zhang Ningpeng's voice came from the phone.

Dongfang Chen said: "How is it, how are you playing?" When are you leaving? ”

Zhang Ningpeng said: "It's okay, stay at home with your family." I was going to accompany her on a trip, but unfortunately I didn't have time. I have to stay with them at home! ”

Dongfang Chen said: "Well, if you have time, you can spend more time with your family, we are all abroad all year round!" ”

Zhang Ningpeng felt the same way and said, "Yes! I need to spend more time with my family. By the way, Brother Chen, how is my aunt's body? Pretty good! ”

Dongfang Chen said: "Well, it's good! When are you leaving? ”

Zhang Ningpeng knew what Dongfang Chen was asking, he said: "The day after tomorrow, I will go to meet the team the day after tomorrow, you know, the Premier League started relatively early." ”

Of course, Dongfang Chen knows that he himself has played in the Premier League.

Zhang Ningpeng suddenly remembered and said, "Brother Chen, what's the matter with you, right?" ”

Dongfang Chen immediately smiled and said, "Can't I call you if it's okay and care about you?" ”

Zhang Ningpeng immediately said: "Eh, do you want to be so numb?" You have nothing to do but ascend to the Three Treasures Palace! Say, what's going on? ”

Dongfang Chen smiled bitterly, at this time, he realized Benitez's mood just now.

Dongfang Chen said: "Okay, I'm really in trouble!" ”

Zhang Ningpeng immediately said: "What's the matter?" Brother Chen, you say, there is no ambiguity in being a brother! Support you! ”

Dongfang Chen immediately laughed and scolded: "Get out!" Where did you go? Is it that I have watched too many TV series recently, and I have smoked my head? ”

Zhang Ningpeng smiled and said, "Just kidding! ”

Dongfang Chen said angrily: "Okay, stop talking nonsense, get down to business!" ”

Zhang Ningpeng immediately put away his jokes, and he immediately said, "Say, Brother Chen, what is the matter?" ”

Dongfang Chen said: "Someone found me today, and he wants me to contact you!" ”

Zhang Ningpeng frowned slightly and said, "Who?" Who told you to contact me, Brother Chen? ”

Dongfang Chen said: "Don't worry, this is a good thing!" It's Benitez, the head coach of our club! ”

Hearing this, Zhang Ningpeng was slightly stunned, he had a faint idea in his heart, but he wasn't sure that it was true, he doubted that he wouldn't be dreaming, right?

Zhang Ningpeng took a deep breath and said, "He is looking for me, what's the matter?" ”

Dongfang Chen smiled and said, "Of course it's a good thing. He asked me to ask you if you have any thoughts on playing at Real Madrid? ”

Hearing this, Zhang Ningpeng was not excited, but very calm, and he thought quietly.

It took a while for Zhang Ningpeng to say, "Brother Chen, you're not joking with me, are you?" ”

Dongfang Chen said: "I don't have time to joke with you, it's true, he just called me." Well, don't talk about anything else, what do you think? ”

Zhang Ningpeng sighed slightly and said: "I don't want to leave Arsenal now, I think I'm doing well in the Arsenal team!" ”

Dongfang Chen appreciates Zhang Ningpeng very much, if he is in front of Zhang Ningpeng at this time, he will definitely want Zhang Ningpeng to give a thumbs up.

Dongfang Chen said: "Why? Don't you want to know what Benitez defines for you? ”

Zhang Ningpeng was in spirit, and he immediately asked, "What is that?" Brother Chen, tell me! ”

Dongfang Chen smiled, and then told Zhang Ningpeng what Benitez had just said to him, he wanted to see if Zhang Ningpeng would be tempted!

After hearing Dongfang Chen's words, Zhang Ningpeng fell into deep thought, and he was also a little tempted.

Real Madrid, that's Real Madrid, and it's Sergio Ramos' class, what tempting news.

Zhang Ningpeng was really tempted, but his reason still defeated evil!

Zhang Ningpeng took a deep breath and said, "This is indeed very attractive, and for a moment, I was really tempted." However, I would say that I will not go to Real Madrid, I will continue to stay at Arsenal! ”

Dongfang Chen nodded, this is the most correct choice for Zhang Ningpeng now.

Zhang Ningpeng continued: "What I need now is the game, only in the game can I improve more, although I also want to join Real Madrid, but I know it is definitely not now! ”

Dongfang Chen involuntarily slapped his face, and he exclaimed: "Good! That's how it should be! I think it's the right choice for you right now! ”

Dongfang Chen continued: "The strength of the Arsenal team is very strong, although their reputation is not as good as Real Madrid, but their reputation is not small, and they are also super giants. The main thing is that you hit the main force here, and that's the most important thing. ”

Hearing Dongfang Chen's words, Zhang Ningpeng was slightly stunned, and then said, "Brother Chen, shouldn't you come to persuade me?" How so? ”

Dongfang Chen smiled and said, "You kid, look down on your brother!" Is my brother the kind of person who betrays his brother? You kid changed the fight! ”

Zhang Ningpeng smiled, but didn't answer!

Dongfang Chen smiled angrily, and then said, "Have you really thought about it?" Am I really talking like that? ”

Zhang Ningpeng said very firmly: "Yes, I have already thought about it, Brother Chen, you just tell Mr. Benitez like this, I will not leave Arsenal now!" ”
