Chapter Seventy-Three: The Magic Flute Sounds in the Distance

Lin Yun walked to Pogba, who was sitting lonely in the middle of the court, and reached out to pull him up.

Pogba said: "If you are here to comfort me, you don't have to; If you're here to laugh at me, I'll punch you in the face. ”

"Grass! A loser is still so hypocritical! Lin Yun glanced at him with disdain, "Do you want to change your jersey?" ”

"Change!"

Lin Yun threw his jersey to him, and then stretched out his hand, "Hurry up, I'm still in a hurry to celebrate." ”

Pogba wordlessly handed him his shirt and then watched his departing back and kicked him in the ass......

In less than two months, Lin Yun once again reached the podium.

He took the trophy from Blatter, walked in front of all his teammates, and jerked it high over the top.

"We are champions!"

Salutes roared, streamers fell, and everyone cheered on stage to celebrate England's first-ever World Junior Championship.

Individual awards were no exception, with Lin Yun winning the Golden Boot with 15 goals, Ghana Ebenezer winning the Silver Boot with six goals and Portugal's Bruma winning the Bronze Boot with five goals.

The Ballon d'Or also fell to Lin Yun, who led the French team to the final, Pogba won the silver goal, and Ghana's Abauguye won the bronze goal.

The remaining Golden Glove and Fair Play awards were awarded to Uruguayan goalkeeper de Uruguay. Amores and Spain U20 won.

At this point, the 23-day World Youth Championships are over, and the aftermath of the event is far less than that of the Champions League, after all, the most dazzling in this World Youth Championship are Lin Yun and Pogba, but they are no longer newcomers, and it is reasonable to show this kind of performance.

The World Youth Championships without surprises are soulless, and everyone looks at it, it seems that Kane, who played well in the final, is barely the biggest easter egg in this World Youth Championships.

At least many Tottenham fans finally know that there is such a number one person in their team......

After the curtain of the World Youth Championships came to an end, the major clubs have also begun preparations for the new season.

On the day Lin Yun took the stage to accept the award, Arsenal had just defeated the Indonesian Stars 7-0 in a friendly match, which was a good start for the new season.

By the time Arsene Wenger returned to the hotel and turned on the TV, the World Junior Championships award ceremony had already ended, and the post-match press conference was being played.

He's French, but he's worked in England for more than a decade and his apprentice plays for England, so he'll be okay with any victory.

Both managers are friendly and are touting each other.

Wenger was not interested in the commercial blowing between these rookies, and was about to turn the table, but suddenly felt that it would be good to see how they played Lin Yun.

God testifies that the professor has already praised everything that can praise Lin Yun to the media several times, and he really can't think of new words.

"Maybe I'll need it later..."

With such a mentality, the professor looked patiently, and the reporters quickly led the topic to Lin Yun.

Arsene Wenger didn't feel quite right when he heard it.

I saw England Under-20 coach Peter on TV. Taylor was talking, "Before the game, Lin told us that it was today! He said that no one believed us because we hadn't won at the World Junior Championships for more than a decade..."

The more Wenger listened, the more exciting his expression became.

How do these words feel so familiar......

On the other hand, England U20 was disbanded at the end of the World Youth Championships, and Lin Yun did not return to Reading or join Arsenal.

He has just finished an Under-20 World Cup and will certainly not participate in any commercial warm-up matches.

Arsene Wenger has given his go, allowing him to report back to the team in August.

Lin Yun is preparing to go to France......

Lake has officially moved to Ligue 2 club Caen, and Lin Yun and Dyson have made an appointment to watch him make his debut together.

In the hotel, Dyson wore Lin Yun's championship medal around his neck, and took several selfies in various postures before uploading them to his Twitter.

Lake went to Ligue 2, Lin Yun was promoted to the Premier League, only he said 88 to football.

Lin Yun had no sympathy for him, only envy.

He drove the ball king hanging, but Dyson drove the grandfather hanging, and he was still the richest man in the country, so it's really hard to say who is luckier......

Dyson reluctantly took down the medal, carefully helped him put it back in the box and put it away, and said: "You just won France in the final, and you turned around and ran to other people's land to show off your might, aren't you afraid that the French will click you?" ”

"Not really, right?" Lin Yun's eyes stared at the monitor, and the handle in his hand kept pressing, "No matter how people say that they are world champions, they can't afford to lose so much...... Damn, this ghost game makes my model so ugly, even the data is so pulled? ”

"I told you earlier, don't play live, if you want to play, just play football manager......"

"Damn, ...... lost"

Lin Yun threw the handle and said seriously: "Have you thought about it?" What to do in the future? Really sell hair dryers? ”

"I didn't think about it, let's go around the world first, and we'll talk about it later," Dyson sighed, "I'm hesitating to play the real-life version of Football Manager...... I really don't want to leave football. ”

"Do you really want to buy the next club?" Lin Yun looked at him like an idiot, "Just rely on your little pocket money?" ”

"It depends on the level, it's really fine to rely on my pocket money if you play a small fight, but if you want to play a Premier League team, it's a family project...... How about you say I fooled them into buying Arsenal? ”

"Not well," Lin Yun shook his head, "Kroenke has 67% of Arsenal's shares, and Usmanov wants to spend a billion pounds to buy it, but he didn't sell it, how many hair dryers do you think you have to sell to get the whole Arsenal?" ”

Usmanov, Arsenal's second-largest shareholder, has been battling Kroenke for power, and the soap opera between the two has been one of the reasons why Arsenal has been famous in recent years.

"It's all said, it's not about selling hair dryers!" Dyson couldn't help it, "Please, can you know more?" We are a home appliance design and manufacturing company! Design, you know? ”

"Oh, the one who designed the hair dryer," Lin Yun said, "My mother just complained to me a few days ago, and you don't see anything special about that thing except that it's a little expensive." ”

"Forget it, I don't understand you," Dyson smiled with his hands outstretched, "because I don't understand why that thing is so profitable." ”

“…… You'd better play football manager, don't touch your family's business, sooner or later you'll go bankrupt. ”

"It's true that I'm more interested in being your boss than selling hair dryers."

The next day, Lin Yun said goodbye to his parents at the airport, and then went to Caen, France, with Dyson.

The city is located in the Normandy region of northern France – the same one where the Allies landed.

Caen FC are playing a pre-season warm-up match at home to a side in the Eredivisie today, with Lake and several other new signings set to start.

Lin Yun was recognized as soon as he got on the plane.

It turns out that some French guys really can't afford to lose, and their attitude is not very friendly, but I don't know if it's because of Henry and Wenger, Arsenal's popularity in France is not bad, so there are also a lot of his die-hard fans on the plane.

Dyson is a social cow, and he landed in Normandy with an old French lady to the 98 World Cup, and from the 98 World Cup to the World Youth Championships that just ended, until he got off the plane, he didn't say goodbye until he got off the plane......

Lin Yun shouted that he couldn't understand.

Sure enough, the rich people have sick heads, and the young lady with the plane full of planes doesn't go to tease, but she has a hot fight with an old lady.

It's just because people speak English, right?

The time was too rushed, and the three good friends didn't meet before the game, so Lin Yun and Dyson went directly to the court.

The game was quite intense, and a friendly almost ended in a friendly match, Lin Yun focused on Lake's performance at first, but it didn't take long for another player to attract all his attention.

"Kick the back of this kid has something......"

He's not a scout, but he's a professional and a striker, and under the principle that "what knows you best is always your enemy", he instinctively finds the defensive midfielder in Caen quite difficult to deal with.

"Isn't it, is there a hidden dragon hidden in this place?"

As soon as the game ended, Lin Yun dialed Arsene Wenger's phone.

"What's the matter, Lin, can't you wait to get into the competition?"

"Looks like you're going to have to make a trip to France yourself, boss."

"You're in France? What happened? ”

France is his territory, if Lin Yunzhen has an accident there, then he doesn't need this old face.

"Well, how do you say that?" Lin Yun thought for a moment, "Do you want another Vieira?" ”

"Location, coming soon!"

“……”

Lin Yun originally just wanted to tease the old man, but he didn't expect him to come for real, so he directly booked a ticket three days later.

The reason why it is three days later is because tomorrow Arsenal will play a friendly against the Vietnamese stars, while Caen's second friendly will not start until three days later.

originally planned to leave after watching the debut, but for this matter, Lin Yun could only stay in Caen for two more days.

Lake's little expression after knowing what was going on doesn't know how aggrieved he is......

"You TMD came to see my game and recommended my team-mate to Arsene Wenger?!"

"Well, actually, I recommended you to Wenger a long time ago, but what, he's a little picky, you know?"

“…… I'd rather not understand. ”

Before Wenger arrived, Mendes first communicated with Lin Yun on the phone.

Arsenal are in contact with Real Madrid to bring in a midfielder from their side.

'Isco, Mesut Ozil, Luka Modric, Xavi. Alonso, but also to pursue Bale, whether in terms of squad rationality or funding, Florentino will definitely sell the midfielder this summer, mainly a question of who to sell.

Isco has just joined, and he will definitely not sell, Alonso is old and can't sell for a price, mainly Modric and Ozil, and there is a high probability that only one can be kept.

In terms of players, everyone admires Ozil, Ramos has publicly stated that he does not want him to leave, but Carlo Ancelotti, who replaced Mourinho, appreciates Modric more.

Now it's up to Arsenal who they want to buy, and I think Arsene Wenger will ask for your opinion, which is the main reason why I'm contacting you today.

Lin, who do you prefer to pass the ball to you behind you? ”

"So what else is there to consider? It must be Luka Modric, he's been tested in the Premier League, but the question is whether people want to come? ”

Luka Modric only moved to Real Madrid in August last year, but he was not happy at the Bernabeu and was even rated as the biggest commodity in La Liga by fans at one point, until he made a stunning performance against Manchester United in the Champions League last season.

If the new Champions League champion extends an olive branch at this time......

One thing to say, even if they have just won the Champions League, Arsenal is still far less attractive to players than Real Madrid in all aspects, not to mention the identity of Modric as a former Tottenham player.

If Lin Yun is allowed to join Tottenham as a former Arsenal player, he will definitely be very resistant in his heart, and he will think that Modric will definitely not be very happy to join Arsenal, but what he learned from Mendes is a little different from what he imagined.

'Feelings for Tottenham? There should be, but compared to the pound, Tottenham can only be in second place. ”

Speaking of this, Lin Yun also became interested, "If he really comes, how much weekly salary will Arsenal offer?" ”

Mendez seemed to know what he was thinking, and laughed straight out on the phone.

Lin Yun said calmly: "What are you laughing at? I also want to win, right? ”

"It can't be higher than you anyway," Mendes said, "his current annual salary at Real Madrid is around 4.5 million euros, which is indeed a lot higher than the 2.8 million he had at Tottenham, but judging from his performance in the first season, Real Madrid obviously thinks that he is not worth the price, especially with his transfer fee of 40 million euros......"

"I hope Arsenal will be more powerful this time and stop messing around."

"Well, put this topic aside for now, I actually have another purpose for calling you today, about Mourinho."

"What's wrong with him?"

"He wants you."

“…… I just renewed my contract. ”

'Chelsea can afford to pay the damages...... Okay, kidding aside, I just wanted to remind you that there are other possibilities, remember, Lin, it's us who choose the club, not the club that chooses us, and if there's any time you feel like you can't find joy at Arsenal, be sure to let me know. ”

"I know."

"That's good."

"Jose Mourinho and Chelsea, the new season is going to be lively again......"

Jose Mourinho returned to Stamford Bridge on 3 June 2013 after a six-year hiatus, having been appointed as first-team manager for the second time by Chelsea.

It's a pity that Ferguson has retired, otherwise the Premier League would have seen three Champions League-winning managers compete on the same stage.

And his transfer has also detonated the entire transfer market.

Barcelona officially announced the signing of Brazilian talented teenager Neymar for a transfer fee of 57 million euros.

Real Madrid is naturally not far behind, and Florentino, who has just been re-elected, once again lifted the golden dollar stick and signed Spain's new golden boy Isco and Real Sociedad's supernova Ilamendi one after another.

And that's not all, Galeries Lafayette is still relentlessly pursuing his last piece of the championship puzzle: Gareth Bale!

If it can be done, it will be a far-reaching transfer for both La Liga and the Premier League.

Including Higuain, Albiol and Callejon, who were previously packaged and sold to Napoli, and Kaka, who is almost certain to return to San Siro, Ancelotti's new warship will undergo a dismantling and rebuilding this summer.

In other leagues, Paris Saint-Germain and Monaco are two Ligue 1 teams who are also impressive.

Paris signed Cavani for 64 million euros, Marquinhos from Roma for 31.5 million euros, and Lucas Digney from Lille for 15 million, with a total of more than 110 million euros, while Monaco grabbed the currently popular Tiger Falcao.

The Bundesliga, which has always been more rational in the transfer market, is still the world of two clubs, Bayern and Dortmund.

Bayern's biggest move this summer is the €5 million signing of La Masia academy product Thiago and the €37 million transfer of Gotze, who has been confirmed early.

Dortmund, on the other hand, bought Mkhitaryan for 25 million and Aubameyang for 13 million.

In addition to the return of Mourinho in the Premier League, the overall situation is calm, although everyone has carried out some transfers in and out, but it is not a big deal that can make their own fans go to the tree, and the news such as Scholes' retirement and Tevez being sold to Juventus by Manchester City is worth paying attention to.

At a time like this, Arsene Wenger's every move is in the spotlight.

Regarding his sudden appearance in Caen, many people naturally couldn't help but make various associations.

World famous coach + French nationality + new Champions League champion, under the triple superposition, the old man can't keep a low profile if he wants to.

Especially not only he came, but also his old partner Lawley.

Arsenal Chief Scout......

So Arsene Wenger's purpose for coming here is already clear.

Looking at Lin Yun next to Wenger, everyone thought they already had the answer.

"Lin's good friend Leke has just joined Ligue 2 side Caen and had a good performance in a friendly three days ago, and Lin can't wait to call Arsene Wenger to watch Lake's second game......"

"Arsenal are suffocating again! I didn't buy it when I was in England, and I was worried about it when I transferred, who told me what kind of brain circuit this was? ”

"One thing to say, Lin Yun is really a brother, but he is too disgraceful, and he doesn't go through the back door like this......"

"Favor clause? Milan, Kaka and Digan find out. ”

The Caen players on the pitch thought the same thing, and they looked at Lake strangely.

Lake was speechless, crying without tears, so much so that he looked at his skinny-looking midfielder with a hint of resentment in his eyes.

In the stands, Lawley also looked at Lin Yun with strange eyes, and couldn't help but say, "A back waist? How tall is he? Is there a meter seven? Multiple? 60 kg? ”

"Are you here to choose a player or a model?" Lin Yun snorted, "How tall is Romario high?" Did it prevent him from becoming a top center? ”

"Well, I'm superficial, and it seems that I need to take a good look at what the man who can make our genius a genius a genius is capable of...... Oh no! That's a good deal...... Ouch? This prediction can also be ...... What's his name? ”

"N'Golo Kante," replied him by Arsene Wenger, "N'Golo Kante is indeed a player who cannot be judged by his appearance and size. ”

Lin Yun suddenly whispered: "Secretly, how do I feel that he is more awesome than Arteta?" ”

Arsene Wenger and Lawley looked at each other and shook their heads with a smile.

'It's not like that, but overall it's a really good player and we'll look at him.'

After Wenger finished speaking, he patted Lin Yun on the shoulder, "Let's go, leave it to Lawley here, let's talk about other things." ”

Lin Yun glanced at Dyson and exited with Wenger first.

Mendes was right, and Wenger was talking about the midfield.

'Of the current candidates, Mesut Ozil and Luka Modric are my favourites, but I think I should consider your opinion......

"Can I decide?"

"No, but it will affect the result, so you can talk about it after you think about it."

"Okay, I want Kaka."

"Don't make a fuss."

"What about Modric."

"Why?"

"It's more pleasing to the eye."

"Be serious."

Lin Yun shrugged his shoulders, "I looked at the report, Ozil doesn't seem to be at ease off the field, I don't like that kind of person very much, as for the field, I think Modric's attitude is also more positive, at least he can contribute on the defensive end is far less than the Germans......"

Wenger nodded, not commenting.

"So...... It's Modric, isn't it? ”

"Not necessarily," Wenger suddenly grimaced, "That guy is expensive......"

"Isn't it bad money?"

"Money is the owner's ......" Wenger shook his head with a headache, not thinking about the management's chicken feathers, "Let's go back to Kante, it's really good, I'll watch him carefully for a season or two, and hopefully he can really become another Vieira." ”

"I'm rubbing, you're not going to play with the temperature difference lottery again, are you?"

"......" Wenger looked at him speechlessly, "Do you know that N'Golo Kante has just transferred, and he has only been in the lower leagues for a long time, and a sudden promotion to the Premier League may not be able to adapt. ”

'Adapting to the Premier League? What is that? ”

"Do you think everyone is like you?"

"Oh well, Arteta is not bad, he should last another season or two......
