"Arsenal close to signing Schalke 04 rising star Goretzka ......"

On this day, Pan Yi saw such a news in the newspaper, and couldn't help but cheer up and read it seriously.

'There has been little movement from Arsenal this summer, with no reinforcements other than a £10million deal on goalkeeper Petr Cech, who was already on loan from Chelsea last season.

"On the contrary, they also sold Podolski to Galatasaray in Turkey for 1.8 million, and there are also Ryo Miyaichi, Diaby and others who left the team on free transfers."

'Therefore, the transfer of Goretzka is considered an important operation for Arsene Wenger, who he believes is a player with a lot of potential.

The 20-year-old German midfielder has already shown what he can do in the Bundesliga. He played for Bochum at the age of 17 before being poached by Schalke 04 and made a total of 44 appearances for Schalke 04 in both seasons. ”

'His all-round ability in midfield was clearly noticed by German national team manager Loew, who made his debut for the German national team in May 2014 and started a warm-up game against Poland.

Arsene Wenger said Arsenal will do everything in their power to sign Goretzka, who will be an important pillar of Arsenal's midfield in the future......

Seeing this, Pan Yi touched his chin.

yes, Goretzka.

Isn't this guy his favorite all-round midfielder?

The midfielder, midfielder, and midfielder can all be played on the central axis, which can completely replace the blank left by the departure of Ramirez and Mikel.

And maybe it's even stronger than the comprehensive ability of these two!

He is a bit similar to the German legend Ballack, tall but not slow, especially when the midfield is forward, he has a lot of threat.

Specifically, he has the following characteristics:

First, take the ball with your back and turn and move forward.

The midfielder can hold the ball, which is a major characteristic of Goretzka, especially in the case of close defense, he has enough ability to deal with it, facing the defense, taking the ball with his back and turning and advancing with the ball, the whole action is done in one go, showing solid individual skills and ability.

Carrying the ball with his back is not necessarily only a skill that a center striker needs to have, even a midfielder needs to have such conditions in order to bring the team a chance to counterattack and break through in the process of high-pressure pressing.

Second, the passing is accurate and the view of the court is good.

When participating in the team's attack, Goretzka can play his passing skills, have a good field vision, can make him more penetrating in passing, even if it is a multi-player backline, Goretzka has the ability to make a hole.

As a midfielder, he has a scalpel-like precision through the ball, but he is very threatening, and now Goretzka has exactly this ability, and his creativity can be said to be quite amazing.

Thirdly, a long-range shot is a conventional offensive method.

In attack, Goretzka's threat is not limited to playmaking and passing, he occasionally strikes a long-range shot, and even has the ability to score goals for his team and extend the scoreline.

Possessing the ability to shoot from distance also gives Goretzka more ways to handle the ball in the midfield position, he does not need to pass the ball to the feet of his team-mates in front of him all the time, and he can rely on his individual ability to try to hit the goal at any time when the opportunity allows.

Fourth, the midfielder marks the defense, intercepts and tackles.

In addition to the attack, Goretzka's defensive ability can not be ignored, in the midfield position, he has a certain aggressiveness, a strong sense of close marking, and he has a tall man, defensively can bring a lot of pressure to the enemy players.

In addition, Goretzka also has the ability to steal the ball, and in the process of close defense, he will look for opportunities to regain the ball, creating counter-attacking opportunities from defense to attack, and bringing great offensive threat.

To sum up, Goretzka is a good player both offensively and defensively, and he can be considered a well-rounded player, a true hexagonal warrior, or a B2B midfielder.

Get him over to cooperate with N'Golo Kante in midfield, two all-round midfielders, isn't it Meizizi?

Maybe he's not strong enough now, so it doesn't matter, just start making him gain muscle after getting it!

In Pan Yi's previous life, Goretzka could gain a firm foothold in the famous Bayern Munich and the German national team, which in itself shows his strength.

It's just that German players have always been relatively low-key, and they are often worse than players from countries such as England at the same level in terms of fame, which made Pan Yi not think of this guy for a while.

When Pan Yi thought about the midfielders before, he was thinking about Modric, Rakitic, David Silva, Yinsco, Vidal...... Something like that.

But these famous stars are either older and not in line with Pan Yi's idea of building a team; Either it's too expensive and I always feel that it's not cost-effective, so I keep putting it on hold.

I really didn't expect that Wenger's ability to discover new talents is really not covered.

The players that I didn't even notice, Wenger is ready to start!

That's not going to work.

Isn't this a wave of interception?

Anyway, they just have intentions, and they haven't really signed a contract and officially announced it.

Moreover, the "temperature difference sign" is not once or twice, I believe that the professor is used to it.

After making up his mind, Pan Yi set off without further ado!

Where to?

To Germany, of course.

With my Pan Yi's face and my three-inch tongue, I will be able to convince the magnetic card to come down!

-----------------

Arsene Wenger was in a very good mood today.

Because in the afternoon, the young German midfielder he fancied was going to the training base to have a medical examination with Arsenal, and this is almost a symbol of successful signing.

At first, Goretzka was not Wenger's first choice.

On the one hand, he is too young, only 20 years old, and lacks tournament experience, and on the other hand, he thinks that he is too valuable and a very risky investment.

Although this deal only costs Arsenal about 10 million euros, it is still a bit too much for Wenger, who is now split in half.

Because of this, he simply bought out the loan Petr Cech in this summer window, and then did nothing else.

But in the end, Wenger decided to grit his teeth and take Goretzka down!

The main thing is that Arsenal's current midfield is in need of fresh blood.

Captain Mikel Arteta is aged, making just seven appearances for the team last season and is almost on the verge of retirement.

Including Flamini and Cazorla, they are all over 30 years old, and their competitive form has begun to decline.

And once this Goretzka can smoothly integrate into Arsenal, then in the next 10 years, Arsenal may no longer have to worry about the midfield position.

After all, there are young talents like Ramsey and Wilshire in the team who can grow up with him.

Signing Goretzka was a risk, and the final result could only be tested by the competition.

Of course, Goretzka's performance in the Bundesliga in the past two seasons has satisfied Wenger, and he is still more optimistic about this young all-round midfielder.

Just then, an aide hurriedly pushed the door and walked into Wenger's office.

"What's the fluster?" Arsene Wenger looked up.

"Goretzka's agent Edin just called and said that Goretzka has something to do temporarily, and he won't be here today." The assistant said.

Arsene Wenger was shocked: "What? ”

In that moment, Wenger's mind remembered the names of many stars: Messi, Ronaldo, Yin Bu......

These are all famous characters in the "temperature difference sign".

When Arsene Wenger visited Cesc Fabregas at La Masia, he also tried to bring Messi to Arsenal, but unfortunately it didn't work out.

And Ronaldo admitted in the program of Arsenal diehard Pierce Morgan that he is only "one step away" from joining Arsenal, and Wenger also laughed that "only 500,000 pounds away from signing Ronaldo." ”

In 2000, when the professor wanted to sign Yin Bu but asked for a tryout, the 19-year-old Swede proudly said: "Zlatan never tries out." "Arsenal have missed out on the big bong since then.

After that, there were even Gianluigi Buffon, Gerard Pique, Yaya Toure, Paul Pogba, Angel Di Maria, Edinson Cavani...... and a long list of extremely famous names.

There are also two very famous cases.

One is Suarez.

When the Uruguayan striker was playing in Liverpool, Arsenal made a bid for 40 million + £1......

That's because Arsenal know Suarez has a clause in his contract that allows him to leave for more than £40 million.

But this "insulting offer" was rejected.

The rest of the story is known, when Suarez switched to Barcelona for £75 million.

The other, and more famous, is Yin Guain, who is lost in the medical examination room.

This is a transfer turmoil when Yoon Guain joined Arsenal in 2013.

Before that season, Arsenal were about to sign striker Gaiguain from Real Madrid, and many well-known media outlets in European football have confirmed that the Argentine striker is about to join the Gunners.

In this way, it seems that it is only a matter of time before Yoon Guain becomes an Arsenal player.

At that time, there were even media reports that Yin Guain had arrived in London and began to officially participate in the medical examination arranged by Arsenal officials.

According to some media reports, Yoon Guain is close to completing the medical examination arranged by the gunman and will complete the official announcement within 48 hours.

But what is unexpected is that after the 48-hour expiration, there is still no information that Yin Guain is about to sign the Gunners, and both Real Madrid and Arsenal have suddenly remained silent.

At the same time, Napoli, who are far away in Italy, suddenly sent out the news, and they officially announced that Argentine striker Yin Guain has joined the team for a transfer fee of 39 million euros.

This kind of information is really difficult for Arsenal fans to accept, and Arsenal's two authoritative fan organizations, the "Arsenal Fan Fund" and the "Black Turban Movement", collectively issued a statement, accusing the club's management and manager Arsene Wenger for incompetence in the transfer market.

And this incident also gave rise to two famous memes.

One is the Arsenal dressing room version of "Peach Blossom Spring", which explains where the mysterious Arsenal medical examination room leads:

Yin Gua was in the Arsenal physical examination room, and after walking more than ten miles, he got a mountain, and the mountain has a small mouth, as if there is light. Drop off the boat and enter from the mouth. At the beginning, it was extremely narrow, and it was only through people, and after dozens of steps, it suddenly became clear, and then it went to Naples.

The other one is "up the tree" and "down the tree".

It's about a fan in a village who learned that Arsenal was going to buy Yin Guain within 48 hours, and he was already in the physical examination, because the signal was not good, he had to go up the tree to check the news, but there was no news for a long time.

"Who told me what 48 hours is all about! I'm still in the tree! ”

Since then, fans have referred to the process of waiting for the home team to officially announce new signings as the upper tree, and once the transfer is finalized, it becomes the lower tree.

And now this Goretzka, isn't it very similar to the situation of Yin Guain at the beginning?

Also when I was about to enter the physical examination room, suddenly something happened?

Arsene Wenger certainly doesn't believe in the so-called Goretzka having something to postpone for a medical check-up.

He called Goretzka's agent, Tobias Edin, directly.

"Tobias, we've been working together very well, and I want you to be honest with me, what's going on?"

Edin over there was silent for a moment, then told the truth: "It's Chelsea." Or to be precise, it was Pan Yi, who came to Goretzka in person, so the young man changed his mind. ”

It can be seen that the agent also has a bit of a headache.

Arsenal has been focusing on promoting Goretzka's transfer for half a year, and almost everything has been agreed, so it can be said that it is really just a sign after the medical examination.

But at the last moment, Edin was indeed a little unreasonable.

Moreover, no agent wants to have a stalemate with a giant team like Arsenal, and there are many opportunities to negotiate business in the future.

Helpless, Pan Yi's charm is too great!

As soon as he came out, Goretzka said that he didn't want to go to Arsenal anymore and was determined to join Chelsea!

So far, Edin can only throw the pot at Pan Yi.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Wenger." Edin continued, "You know, Pan Yi is very popular in Germany, and a lot of players like him very much, especially young people, and they all admire him. So ......"

"I see, thanks." Wenger hung up, his face pale.

It's actually Pan Yi's guy!

Arsene Wenger certainly doesn't blame his agent, after all, the player's will is the most important factor.

If a player doesn't want to go to a certain club, it's useless for an agent to be powerful.

Moreover, Wenger was annoyed not only by Pan Yi's sudden intervention in the truncation of the beard, but also because from Edin's mouth, he got a message:

Pan Yi and Goretzka contacted, and then, Goretzka chose Pan Yi without hesitation between Wenger and Pan Yi......

This shows that Arsene Wenger is no longer the first choice in the minds of young players.

You know, Arsene Wenger has been known in world football for so many years for daring to develop and use new talents, and many young players are willing to go to Arsenal to receive guidance from professors.

But I didn't expect that in just a few years, this "status in the rivers and lakes" seemed to be replaced by Pan Yi.

This made the professor feel a little sad.

No, you can't just leave it at that.

Arsene Wenger decided to take matters into his own!

It was useless to make phone calls, he was going to Germany in person, to the city of Gelsenkirchen, to meet Goretzka.

He didn't believe it, Pan Yi's charm was really so great!

He also wondered if Goretzka would suddenly change his mind when he faced him in person?

-----------------

When Wenger knocked on Goretzka's door, he was surprised to find that there were two more people in the living room.

One is Goretzka's agent Edin, and the other is none other than Pan Yi!

This guy lives in Germany and doesn't leave, right?

Of course, there is another greater possibility, that is, Pan Yi is ready to complete all the contract matters of Goretzka before returning to London......

Even Wenger could imagine that when he called Edin before, maybe Pan Yi was next to him.

The words that Edin replied were exactly what Pan Yi taught him.

This is a naked show-off and provocation!

And what "young people adore him......"

Don't you want to be embarrassed!?

And Pan Yi obviously didn't expect Wenger to rush over without saying a word, and the two of them stared at each other for a while.

The collision between Pan Yi and Wenger seemed to freeze a little, and the young Goretzka standing on the side was both excited and a little scared.

The reason for the excitement is very simple, Pan Yi and Wenger both personally invited him, which makes the young man very useful in his heart.

This shows that he is valued, and at the same time he is valued by these two world-class coaches who are known for developing young players, and it is even more incredible.

The reason for being scared is simpler, these two are big elders, and he can't afford to mess with them.

He tried his best to pretend to be a little transparent, just bring drinks and snacks, and serve the two of them with good food and drink, and didn't dare to say anything superfluous, leaving everything to the agent Edin to deal with.

But obviously, the main combatants in the living room are still Pan Yi and Wenger.

'Professor, you're late, Leon has already decided to join Chelsea.' Pan Yi said.

Goretzka's full name is Leon Goretzka, and Pan Yi called it so to show that the relationship between the two is also relatively close.

"Signed?" Wenger snorted.

"Not yet, but Schalke 04 have agreed to sell Goretzka to us." Pan Yi smiled, picked up the water glass on the table, and greeted Wenger, "We gave 12 million." ”

Wenger didn't want to pay attention to this guy, his target was Goretzka, and he tried his best to convince Goretzka.

After all, although Chelsea are paying a higher price, it is the will of the players that is the most important.

'Come to Arsenal, come to Arsenal and you will be the main midfielder. You went to Chelsea, do you think you can compete with N'Golo Kante and Nemanja Matic? They are the main midfielders of the Champions League champions! ”

Pan Yi smiled: "Thank you for your compliment to my team." But have you ever thought that it is precisely because Chelsea are Champions League winners that Lai Ang wants to come to our team? ”

Wenger's face changed and he glared at Pan Yi.

But Pan Yi is not wrong to say so, one is the Premier League champion and the Champions League champion, and the other can only be the Premier League for the fourth, which one to choose under the same conditions seems to be a very simple matter.

Not to mention that Chelsea are likely to offer higher wages......

Then Pan Yi said: "My team's Mikel and Ramirez have confirmed that they are leaving, the vacancy in the midfield is very large, and there is definitely a chance for Ang to come." ”

In the end, Pan Yi threw out another killer feature: "And who said that I will definitely continue to use 3-4-3 in the new season?" Maybe I'll use 3-3-1-3, or maybe 3-5-2. At that point, it is not impossible for him to play alongside N'Golo Kante and Nemanja Matic. ”

Wenger was speechless.

promised to give Goretzka the main position, which was originally Wenger's ultimate move to attract Goretzka to join, but I didn't expect Pan Yi to really deal with it.

Then compare the two sides again......

To be honest, Wenger put himself in his shoes and thought that if he had Goretzka, there was a good chance that he would have chosen Chelsea.

"Ugh." Wenger sighed, thought about it, and pulled Pan Yi to another room, "I can give you Goretzka, but you have to make it up to me, right?" ”

This is based on the principle of "come and come", or do you want to pick up Chelsea's wool.

This kind of local tyrant and inferior gentry, is it okay to come out without dividing the land?

"Compensation?" Pan Yi's face was full of question marks, "You want Cech, I really sold it to you." ”

"That's another story. You want Gnabry, Martinez, I don't give it to you too? Arsene Wenger laughed, "But I do lack a midfielder right now, Goretzka was bought by you, and I really don't have any." ”

"Oh...... Let me refer people, right? Okay. Pan Yi said with a smile, "Also in Schalke 04, there is a young player named Sane, and this year should be ...... 18, 19 years old, right? He scored last season when he played Real Madrid in the Champions League, and if you buy him, you won't lose anything. ”

Sane was a new member of the Schalke 04 first team in the 2013-2014 season, but quickly established himself in the main team with excellent performances.

In fact, in 2016, he was about to be poached by Manchester City, and the transfer fee at that time was as high as 50 million euros!

Such a good player, why didn't Pan Yi start?

The main reason is that there are too many players in the team who can play wingers now, and Mbappe can't practice, so how can he take care of Sane?

So I made a favor and recommended it to the professor.

But what he didn't expect was that the professor shook his head: "I don't want a pure winger, I want a midfielder now." ”

Wenger is understandably so.

Now Arsenal also has more wingers in the team.

Thigh-thigh Sanchez is firmly in the middle of a winger position, while Theo Walcott, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Joel Campbell, including Cazorla, Ramsey and even Welbeck can play as a winger.

Including the Japanese player Ryo Miyaichi, who has just left the team, also plays as a winger.

It can be said that Arsenal has a bit of a surplus of winger talent at the moment, which is one of the big reasons why Wenger was willing to sell Gnabry last season.

So he is currently only bidding on Goretzka, not Sane.

Of course, there is another reason, and that is...... Sane is more expensive.

It can't be helped, offensive players are just more likely to get attention.

Not to mention, in the second leg of the Champions League 1/8 final last season Schalke 04 against Real Madrid, the 19-year-old Sane ushered in his Champions League debut at that time, which will make many European scouts target him.

He came on in the 29th minute as a substitute for the injured Choupo-Moting and scored past Iker Casillas in the 57th minute from the edge of the box, becoming the youngest player to score against Real Madrid in the Champions League as Schalke 04 beat Real Madrid 4-3 away.

Therefore, there are actually many teams coveting Sane at present, and Schalke 04 is 25 million as soon as he opens his mouth, which of course makes Wenger retreat.

"That's it......" Pan Yi shook his head, and another name popped out of his mouth, "Xhaka of Borussia Mönchengladbach, how's it going?" He is only 22 years old this year, and he can play in the middle of the line from the front to the back, which almost coincides with the position that Goretzka can play. And this player has a tough style of play and a tenacious style......"

"This person has too much of an impulsive personality and is too easy to eat cards." Without waiting for Pan Yi to finish speaking, Wenger shook his head again and vetoed the proposal.

"Uh...... All right. Pan Yi almost burst out laughing.

Zaka's card master name is really famous.

The problem is that in Pan Yi's previous life, Xhaka will be brought to the Emirates Stadium by Arsene Wenger next year, and Pan Yi just recommended it in advance.

I didn't expect Wenger to dislike Xhaka so much.

"I still just want to be alone." Wenger stared into Pan Yi's eyes and said.

"Who?"

"William."
