It is true that Qin Xiong did not understand the operation of Arsenal's summer transfer market, at least not when he was on vacation.

If he takes a look at the news on Fleet Street, he will know that the background of Juventus' big three is that Arsenal and Juventus are at an impasse over the transfer fee of Vieira, and Juventus' offer of 16 million euros does not allow Arsenal to let him go freely.

Qin Xiong heard that Vieira might transfer, and his mood suddenly became bad.

Mo said that such an important pillar player as Vieira, even if it is a strong player in the team, such as Lauren, Toure and Silva, is an indispensable role in a good team.

The more top-notch the competition, the higher the requirements for the individual strength of the players!

The fact that Real Madrid is picturesque at the front and rotten at the back is enough to illustrate this reality, and it can also be said that Arsenal could have created a treble miracle if it were not for the thin squad last season.

And being able to play on multiple fronts with 13 or 14 players, and finally won the league and FA Cup doubles, and the Champions League quarterfinals, Arsenal's excellence is recognized by the outside world, which can be said to be unexpected.

To put it bluntly, Arsenal's current configuration is, at best, a one-line operation!

And it does not have the hard power to fight on multiple fronts!

In such a situation, Vieira may also leave, which is undoubtedly another major setback after Edu left the team as a free agent and joined Valencia!

"What does the boss think? How could he possibly let the captain go? ”

Qin Xiong feels that Wenger should have a full say in this matter, and Wenger will inevitably realize the importance of Vieira, no matter what. Vieira is still the captain!

Bergkamp said softly, "I must have talked about it." Things are never as simple as you think. ”

Piret interjected next to him: "Maybe you think the team wants Patrick to leave. But have you ever thought about it. Maybe Patrick himself had the idea of leaving? ”

Qin Xiong was stunned and couldn't say a word.

Yes, he only came to Arsenal for one season and last season was a success!

But this kind of success has been achieved by Vieira before, he is similar to Henry, obsessed with the Champions Cup!

They have the World Cup, the European Cup. League, local cup champions, career is just one championship cup away from being flawless!

Vieira has been complaining for the past four years that the club is not making a big splash!

In this era, Arsenal wants to build a new stadium, which may be a century-old plan, once the new stadium is completed and the debt is repaid, Arsenal's economic income will increase steadily in the next 30 years, 50 years. Keep up with the big guys.

But in this era of monetary tightening ordered by the board of directors, the players who have worked hard at the cost of youth. Not all people are able to give silently and inevitably think about their own interests!

How can you make your career more brilliant?

Honor!

The reason why Qin Xiong hasn't considered this yet, on the one hand, is that he has no sense of crisis in terms of honor, and on the other hand, he is still young.

Vieira is about to turn thirty.

He will still have less and less time to be the main force in the giants.

In a conversation where Qin Xiong and his teammates were unclear about the content, Wenger and Vieira had a long talk the night before.

Arsene Wenger expressed his desire for Vieira to stay, but Vieira offered a reason that Wenger couldn't refuse: the Champions Cup!

Arsene Wenger can't guarantee that Vieira will have a Champions League trophy in his career, and perhaps no manager in the world can make such a guarantee.

This also made Vieira's departure a logical one.

Perhaps Vieira's condition is only that the team can bring in a big player in the transfer market, even if there are two or three more first-class stars to fill the bench so that the team does not hide from the multi-front battle, he will see hope and let him stay and play for the Gunners.

But Arsene Wenger could not guarantee it even if he understood.

After Edu's departure, Arsenal renewed the contracts of a number of young players, including rising stars such as Klich and Eboue, plus the introduction of Stuttgart core Hleb at the end of June for 15 million euros.

Clubs don't put their books in front of the players to tell them how tough their club's finances are!

As long as there is no arrears of wages, a qiē looks good.

Now Vieira is leaving, and there is another reason why Wenger can't stay: Vieira stays, and he has to give him a big contract that is not to say bigger, at least to maintain the treatment of the Premier League's top star!

In the long run, Arsenal spending this money on Vieira is equivalent to not being able to develop at least two more young rookies!

It's just that wages are spent on Vieira at more than £3 million a year!

And how much does it cost a young player a year? It may not exceed 500,000 pounds, and no matter how famous and better the seedlings are, it is impossible to exceed 1.5 million pounds!

Against this complex backdrop, the negotiations between Juventus' Big Three and Arsenal are actually coming to an end.

It's just that Juventus are in a hurry to broker the deal.

During the afternoon training, Qin Xiong didn't see Vieira, and his teammates also seemed absent-minded, as if they were waiting for something, and this waiting was a kind of torment, as if they were expecting a miracle that would not happen at all!

Probably only Eboue, who has been promoted to the first team, and new signing Hleb can concentrate and work hard.

After the afternoon training was over, Qin Xiong drove away, and he saw many fans outside the training ground with signs begging the club not to sell Vieira, and he was also calling for Vieira to take the initiative to stay!

But before 6 p.m., Juventus officials announced the signing of Vieira for 20 million euros!

The reason why Juventus wants to complete this deal quickly is because during the office hours before six o'clock, Juventus, as a listed company, can pull up the stock price after the release of the information of their blockbuster recruitment!

Vieira was interviewed before leaving London and appeared to have mixed feelings: "When you've been through nine years of loyalty like I did, it's a really difficult decision to leave. But at the end of the day, you have to make a decision about your future. It was difficult, but I was very happy and I made my decision. I didn't have a problem with Arsenal, I left with my head held high and I had a clear conscience. ”

Later, Arsene Wenger, who had been silent, also spoke on the official Arsenal website.

'Patrick is a very good player and one of the greatest players in Arsenal's history. I'm just as sad about his departure as the fans. ”

The departure of special players, Wenger's speech is also heartfelt, and Wenger understands the importance of Vieira to Arsenal, and his final speech is more like a consolation for a bygone era!

'Patrick Vieira will always be special to Arsenal, he'll always be in our hearts. (To be continued......)
