Since 2005, the Confederations Cup has been held every four years.

FIFA defines it as: a "multi-functional" international event second only to the World Cup, a World Cup sentry match.

The teams selected for the main tournament are the continental champions of each continent and the winners of the last World Cup, and the hosts.

Another purpose of the tournament is to test the hosts' qualifications to host the World Cup.

Since the Confederations Cup was formerly known as the King Fahd Cup, the wealthy oil kingdom has boosted the starting prize money by a large margin.

2017 Confederations Cup, with a total prize pool of $20 million.

The results of the group ballot were announced on 28 November 2016.

Group A: Russia, Mexico, Spain, New Zealand.

Group B: Germany, Chile, Australia, Cameroon.

Li Kang did not have any clashes with the Arsenal hierarchy.

There was no farce of infighting in the arsenal.

He missed the meeting date in Madrid due to a temporary call-up for the national team, and after communicating with the coaching staff, he decided to fly directly to the national team's training ground in Kazan.

Sir Kiswick personally led a group of Arsenal executives to the airport.

"Li, the sponsorship fee for the renewal of the contract between the major advertisers and the club, as long as it involves your portrait rights, the money will be transferred to your agency's account normally."

"The big LED screen on the façade of the Emirates Stadium will always scroll through your jersey number."

"Your contribution will always be remembered by the Arsenal Museum and Hall of Fame."

Gazidis's tone was calm, completely oblivious to the fact that the words had been repeated several times on the road.

The young Kroenke Jr. shook Li Kang's left hand and said: "It's a pity that Li and others have solved certain problems, and Arsenal will let you come back at all costs." ”

"I'm sorry."

Xiao Ke's eyes are sincere and his tone is sincere.

The club's top brass behind him were silent.

If the "palace fight" of more than 200 shareholders such as Kroenke and his son, Wu Fat, etc., stops, why can't Wenger and Lee stay in the arsenal and continue to be brilliant?

Arsenal's equity dispute, you can write a book: the cash flow of the Emirates Stadium, collusion to disperse shares, standardism, blood disputes, asset dilemma, Anglo-American hatred of Soviet and Russian capital, the introduction of an American-style professional manager system, zero capital injection, and equity dividend contradictions.

Too much, too much.

A book that can't be written in hundreds of thousands of words.

As for the fight for the fourth, selling the captain and selling the core of the treble is just a microcosm of the equity chaos, and Wenger is nothing more than a scapegoat to bear the wrath of the fans.

In a sense, Arsenal is no longer a club.

The only hope is that in the future, Kroenke and his son will take full ownership of Arsenal, end the chaos of the equity struggle, and at least start investing in reinforcements, even if they only use the club as a profit tool.

"Lee, I'm sorry"

Xiao Ke sincerely repeats sorry.

Li Kang smiled.

He didn't take the other party's words seriously.

The transfer process is expected to kick off after the Confederations Cup, and the farewell ceremony will also take place during that time.

The words are divided into two ends.

Robert was miserable.

The Emirates Stadium was crowded with demonstrative fans, holding up signs and posters to save Li Kang.

Photographs of "sinner" Robert were burned

Countless letters of "death threats" from extreme fans flooded offices like snowflakes.

Less than two months into his new role, the Arsenal sporting director has experienced the pressure Arsene Wenger has been under for years.

The other side.

Tottenham fans celebrated wildly in pubs large and small in north London

It is even more exciting than when the sworn enemy sets off the "inverted temperature tide".

"What about winning the Triple Crown?"

"We will be trampled under our feet again next season!"

Kazan, a temporary training base for the Spanish national team.

The little squirrels scurried between the two oak trees, stopping from time to time to prick up their ears and look at the players in the distance.

"Isn't the German team going to send young players to train? How did Royce, Kroos, Boateng, Neuer send a whole bunch of main forces! ”

"It's the same with the Chilean team, the Copa America winner is all in the squad."

"Russia and Mexico are also in trouble."

"The temperature in Kazan is so comfortable, I plan to go to the Cathedral and the Suyumbeka Tower tomorrow."

"The group of Russian girls outside the base are really annoying, and they ask Li all day and night why they haven't come to report yet."

"Peake, why are you distracted again? What are you thinking? ”

The team members are practicing on the turf for the lap, chatting about whether they are a match or not.

David Silva, Andres Iniesta and Cazorla were not called up for various reasons.

De Gea's eyes scanned the group of teammates, and no matter how they looked at it, it felt unreliable, especially Pique.

The golden gloves of this year's Confederations Cup are hanging.

Mignano is equally worried: Spain are just one away from winning the Confederations Cup.

In the final of the Confederations Cup four years ago, the Matadors led by Habaib were beaten by Brazil, swallowing three goals and missing out on the championship.

"Don't think too much, even if you are eliminated in the group stage, there will be 2 million US dollars."

This is how the Spanish assistant can only console himself.

Suddenly.

He faintly heard a cheer in the distance.

Follow the prestige.

Bosque and Li Kang, wrapped in bandages, were walking slowly.

"Lee!"

"Lee!"

The teammates gave up the practice and joined the coaching staff in excitement.

Bosque's mustache was raised, his belly was straight, and he hurriedly moved his feet to protect Li Kang.

"Calm down, don't bump into Lee!"

"He's just finished his medical check-up and reapplied potions and bandages."

"Don't come around like a swarm of flies, Lee isn't. Phew! ”

"Especially you, De Gea!"

"And Isco, what are you rubbing?"

Mignano stopped the player who pounced on Li Kang.

He suddenly noticed that the eyes of the players had regained their brightness and confidence.

It turns out that Lee is the spring soul of the Matador Legion!

The coaching staff of the national team made a decision before the trip: they would rather give up a squad candidate than bring the injured Li Kang to Russia!

He is at the helm of the Matador fleet!

Li Kang and everyone hugged briefly.

A system prompt sounded in my head.

【Ding! Main quest triggers: Confederations Cup champion! 】

[Brief Introduction: A light-hearted journey, use your performance to conquer the fans of Russia! Chile and Germany sent the main lineup! 】

[Reward: Confederations Cup Legendary Chest!] 】

Didn't say hello for long.

Mignano led him to the dormitory, caring for his injuries all the way.

In this year's Confederations Cup, according to the plan, Li Kang will not be sent on the field by the coaching staff as a mascot.

After settling down to Li Kang's residence.

Mignano is back on the training ground.

The two team doctors suddenly trotted over and handed over the physical examination report.

The coaching staff took a look and was stunned.

"What?"

"Lee's hand injury is not serious? He's not Messi, how could he heal so quickly! ”

"Mistaken, right? Do you think the Arsenal medical team is a veterinarian? ”

"No, you can't take any chances."
