During this historical period, the Premier League is moving towards the reform of the "continental football system".

In the Premier League BIG6, four clubs have created the post of sporting director.

This position also requires spending money to screen talents from La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga and other giants.

City have done a fantastic job of that.

They brought in two of Guardiola's partners at the pinnacle of Barcelona: Soriano and Begiristan.

Soriano oversees the club's growth strategy.

Begiristan was responsible for assisting in piecing together the "blueprint of the dynasty".

Unlike Chelsea, who were the first to introduce the continental football system, they attach great importance to the discovery of young players, and the task of the sporting director is not entirely to bring in immediate reinforcements, but to carry out the "Blue Planet Project" all over the world.

Because of the existence of the Financial Fair Play Act, Chelsea have sold a number of talented players, which has allowed them to squander unbridled in the transfer market.

Liverpool's sporting director is bitter, and his role is more of a buffer between Jurgen Klopp and the club's hierarchy, allowing the two to communicate more effectively.

Arsenal recently purged Arsene Wenger's right-hand man, Dick Law.

They finally welcomed the first sporting director in the club's history - Robert.

Which Robert?

That year, he sold Li Kang in installments of 1 million to Robert in Leverkusen.

This decision has not become a stain on the professional career, if you put aside the consequentialism, this product has introduced Umtiti, Andre Gomez, Turan, and left Barcelona with long-term reinforcements: Dortmund's Dembele, Liverpool's Coutinho, and Atletico Madrid's Griezmann.

Brought a bunch of super shining football stars to Barcelona!

It's just that the price is a bit expensive.

Manchester City are in the lead, with Arsenal close behind.

Barça's managerial talent has proven itself at the Etihad.

Arsenal President's Office.

Sir Kiswick was worried, the club's shareholding battle was too chaotic.

At the recent shareholders' meeting, 200 Arsenal shareholders frantically impeached him and Kroenke's son.

"Do you have any advice on who to choose for the new head coach?"

In recent years, the Arsenal hierarchy have always come in March to pick a manager for next season, but Arsene Wenger has always been able to use the results to make a living.

"Tuchel?"

"Emery?"

"Van Gaal?"

"Enrique?"

"Rogers?"

Gazidis shook his head: "I think I can get the opinion of Mr. 200 million, he"

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Sir in a stiff tone.

"Arsenal let a player decide who to go to? What a joke! ”

"Robert, what about your opinion?"

Robert straightened his tie with a serious expression and handed a black folder to the CEO and the chairman.

"Inside is an analysis of Mr. Enrique's first season at Barcelona."

'His tactical style fits well with Arsene Wenger's legacy.

"Transmission control."

"Defending in the low post."

"Set-piece improvements."

"It was he who inspired the powerful firepower of Barcelona MSN and completed the renewal of the 'Habaib' midfield combination"

"Arsenal need a manager with experience in coaching a big club!"

Robert's tone was fanatical, and there was anticipation in his eyes: "His salary is not high. ”

Sir Kiswick nodded in satisfaction: "I know that many legends have praised Enrique and praised him as a master tactician, and he has written his praise into his autobiography. ”

"Among these four people, Enrique is really the most brilliant!"

"He dared to press Messi on the bench, he had courage!"

"Manchester United has Mourinho, Manchester City has Pep Guardiola, Arsenal has Enrique, 20 years of reincarnation, the fateful story born in the cradle of football, this is called the Premier League coach competition."

"Modernize! Arsenal needs a modern and advanced management system! ”

"Emery's salary is too high, let's talk to Enrique in depth! I would love to meet him! ”

The corners of Gazidis's mouth twitched, and he realized that he couldn't interject.

Forget it, anyway, I'm going to AC Milan next season, and it's none of what Arsenal reforms do.

It's just a little nostalgic for Arsene Wenger: rebuilding the academy base, building the youth system, building the Emirates Stadium, and taking on heavy loans. Lead a mediocre squad to fight for four every year. Until now, they have not been able to enjoy the fruits of victory accumulated over the years.

Robert was in high spirits and gushed: "I have another proposal, when Lee first joined, Arsene Wenger did not ask for his image rights. We can revisit this with Lee's agency, his commercial value."

"No way!"

Sir Kiswick and Gazidis were in unison in opposition.

The Arsenal hierarchy are no short-sighted idiots.

"Don't talk about it!"

"I'm still going to give Li a salary increase, and you're going to cut his portrait rights?"

Iberia, city of Gijón.

Enrique, who was at home, did not lie flat, and set up three small whiteboards in his study, which were painted with three dense lines and numbers.

"Arsenal's squad is far from Barcelona compared to Barcelona."

"The Premier League is just as competitive as that."

Poor King Kong Matador, he has no idea how terrifying Manchester City, Liverpool, Manchester United will be next season.

Amsterdam, Netherlands.

Louis van Gaal is on the phone with his agent Gellings: "Tottenham want to fire Pochettino? It's stupid! Tell Levi that I don't have any interest in White Hart Lane, they give too little money! ”

"Arsenal also have low salaries? Tell Sir Kisswick that I, Van Gaal, don't value money! ”

"If Arsene Wenger really leaves Arsenal, I am the only one in Europe who knows how to cooperate with Lee!"

The 2016/17 FA Cup semi-finals were the most luxurious squad in 18 years, with no dark horses in the picture.

Arsenal vs Tottenham.

Manchester City vs Chelsea.

Spectators are more optimistic about Arsenal because the FA Cup is also known as the "thermos cup".

Arsene Wenger is on the verge of being out of class and facing a fierce "inverted temperature storm" to complete the "continuation of life" with an FA Cup title.

Coincidentally, the FA Cup semi-finals were played in the afternoon, which coincided with the timing of Li Kang's exams.

Wengree overrode the crowd and decided to let Li Kang take the exam.

Grange Park, where the clouds obscure the sunset, and the leaves enjoy the glow.

Li Kang walked out of the test center.

The difficulty of the questions is not too great, and there is no pressure.

The assistant waited for a long time, and hurriedly pulled Li into the business car.

"The timing was just right."

'We played 0-0 with Tottenham in 90 minutes and extra-time was a draw! The penalty shootout starts soon! ”

"Soon after the game started, Son Heung-min created a penalty, but it was robbed by Lamela again, and the two quarreled because of it, and Lamela missed the penalty!"

"It's dangerous!"

'Welbeck also missed an empty goal.

"I'm most scared of watching a penalty shootout!"

Li Kang took the tablet and listened to the roars of the fans through the screen, and he could feel the hatred between mortal enemies.

The semi-finals and finals were held at Wembley Stadium in London.

He hopes Arsenal can knock them out and reach the FA Cup final and give himself a taste of what Lingard's Wembley Prince module can do.
