Chapter 248： Wenger, are you rich?

"Two thousand dollars?"

Wenger stood up when he heard the news from Pat Rice at the Kearney training base in London.

"Why didn't he rob the bank?"

Pat Rice stood aside awkwardly, dumbfounded.

How can robbing a bank be so profitable? The risk is so great...

In fact, he is the one who knows Wenger's mood best, so worry!

Why are you in a hurry?

In recent years, in order to build a new stadium, Wenger has done everything possible to save money, and his goal is to keep the top four in the league.

For Arsenal, the pressure is actually good, after all, it is the Premier League Big4.

But things are constantly changing.

Last season, Arsenal and Liverpool were on the same points, but because of the disadvantage of goal difference, Liverpool ranked third,

Arsenal are fourth, followed by Tottenham and Everton.

This summer, Benitez moved the real Red Army to reach the Champions League final twice in three years, won a Champions League, and earned a lot of money, so Benitez also invested heavily in the transfer market. For example, the introduction of Torres from Atletico Madrid, Babel from Ajax, and Lucas Rewa from Brazil are all aimed at strengthening the team's overall strength.

Everton is also not idle. The introduction of Gravesson from Real Madrid, the introduction of Yakubu from Middlesbrough, as well as players such as Leiden Baines and Jagielka, have taken out more than two dollars. £10,000 transfer investment.

That's a lot of money for a team like Everton.

Tottenham's investment is even more, Darren Bent, Kabul, Boateng and Gareth Bale,

The north London rivals have invested an astonishing £30,000 in the transfer market.

On the other hand, Arsenal sent Henry, Reyes and Ljungberg away, which greatly affected the attacking power of the entire frontcourt. Although Sagna, Da Silva and Fabianski were introduced, their overall strength was obviously declining. Not a lot.

Especially the offensive firepower in the frontcourt.

In this case, Wenger would say that there is no pressure, that is impossible.

If you are a little careless and fall out of the top four in the league, the situation for Arsenal will be even more severe.

Losing this piece of income from the Champions League is an extremely painful loss for the Gunners.

In this case, how can Wenger not be in a hurry?

"Naples shouted 20 million euros, making it clear that they want us to counter-offer, it depends on whether we want it or not."

Pat Rice analyzed.

"What do the players say?"

"The agent said that Gervinho had called Gao Shen, but Gao Shen did not express his position. In addition, the player emphasized one point that he did not want to fall out with Gao Shen."

Wenger heard this and turned his head to look at Pat Rice, who nodded heavily in affirmation.

"I didn't see it, but this kid can win people." Wenger said lightly that it would be easier for Arsenal to poach corners if the players cooperated to put pressure on them, but now that the players have made it clear, the Gunners can only talk to Naples.

"That should be the reason Naples are so confident."

To put it bluntly, Naples doesn't really want to sell.

If Arsenal were scared off by this offer, that's fine, Napoli told Gervinho righteously,

It's not that we don't sell it, it's that Arsenal don't want to buy it.

In fact, to a certain extent, Naples raising prices may not be good for the players.

The higher the value, the more the club values ​​it, which will be more important to the locker room status after the player joins.

"What now?" Pat Rice asked concerned.

Napoli have already kicked the ball over, it's up to Arsenal to buy it.

Wenger shook his head and smiled bitterly. He didn't answer, but instead asked: "Can Gervinho really be comparable to Malouda?"

"The talent is indeed higher, the speed is faster, and the footwork is better, but it is still too young and needs to grow further." Pat Rice replied.

Higher talent, faster speed, finer footwork, plus a young man, this proves that Gervinho's potential is indeed very high, but at this stage, it is still not as good as Malouda.

But for a twenty-year-old young player, that's enough.

A 20-year-old young player whose strength is comparable to that of Malouda, that is not the price.

"I'll call Gao Shen." Wenger gritted his teeth.

Pat Rice was taken aback, "Do you have his phone number?"

Wenger was also taken aback and explained: "Last time, I forgot when, and accidentally added a call to him."

Pat Rice snorted, was it really accidental?

I have to say that in the past year or so, Gao Shen has been so hot that people care about Serie B, so he dares to shout that he wants to win the Serie A championship. If he really wins the championship this season, then Italian football will be interesting.

At that time, will the title of Italy, the tactical kingdom, be preserved?

From the perspective of the situation, the criticism of Gao Shen is almost one-sided, but in fact, behind the scenes, countless people are eagerly waiting to watch the excitement. If Gao Shen can really win the Serie A championship in the new season, that will be the most interesting. matter.

However, now it seems that it is difficult!

too difficult!

The league has not yet started, and the leading star has been dug up, so how to play?

Gao Shen was very surprised when he suddenly received a call from Wenger.

He really can't remember, when did he call Wenger?

Where did this old professor get his phone number?

But what to ask?

Just pretend you gave it.

After chatting and getting to the point, Wenger directly explained his intentions, and he wanted to introduce Gervinho.

Gao Shen almost cried out to Wenger on the spot, is this Gervinho?

No, this is killing him and his future!

My side is busy preparing to fight Serie A, are you digging my corner?

Professor, are you rich... uh, no, are you interesting?

Wenger was also embarrassed to listen to the phone. For the first time, he found that he was also guilty of poaching players.

How do you feel that this is not a business, but that you are bullying the younger and relying on the old to sell the old?

Gao Shen also accepted it as soon as he saw it, and after he "settled" his mood, he told Wenger that this matter was really out of his control and belonged to De Laurentiis.

"You also know that our boss is very fierce, like a society. He has already made a statement. Whoever dares to come to Naples to poach his players, he will let the Mafia cut people."

Wenger smiled bitterly, who are you frightening?

"Of course, this is also angry, but to be honest, no one dares to tell him about the transfer." Gao Shen came back again.

"Twenty million euros, it's impossible, Gervinho is not worth the price now," Wenger replied.

Gao Shen was also cheerful, "Our boss also said, at this price, if you like it, buy it, if you don't buy it... Haha\"

Wenger can understand that Naples has a unified idea and is waiting for him there.

Yes, it depends on whether you want to buy it or not!

"Gao, Ming people don't talk secretly, just say it directly, how much do you want?"

"I don't care. If I can make the decision, I can sell it to you for ten thousand euros." Gao Shen looked very generous.

Unfortunately, Naples is not his.

Wenger was angry and scolded secretly: Are you not talking nonsense?

"Come on!" Wenger was a little impatient.

"In this way, if you really want it, I will help you to talk to our boss. I will try to talk about 15 million euros, but I will talk about it first, it may not be possible, and you know our boss's temper. ."

The general manager, Marino, was just shut the door yesterday and was scolded with blood. How ruthless!

Wenger smiled wryly, wanting to ask if I owe you a favor first, according to what you said.

"Okay, just do five million euros!" Wenger gritted his teeth, stomped his feet, and stopped making a counter-offer.

He was very worried that if he made another counter-offer, the deal might be blown.

It's not that Naples doesn't sell it, it's that he doesn't dare to buy it!

..

"Fifteen million euros?"

Marino was surprised when he received the call from Gao Shen.

Are you sure it's serious?

Gao snorted, "Pierre Paul, calm down, you are now the general manager of a team that aims to hit Serie A."

The words could be felt through the phone, and Marino on the opposite side seemed to hold his head up even more.

But I don't know why, when I remembered that he was cowardly like a kitten in front of De Laurentiis, Gao Shen couldn't connect him with a man.

Speaking of which, it's all to blame that the Germans are too strong and irritable!

"Arsenal will arrange for someone to contact you immediately. You should contact Villarreal now, or it will be too late."

Gao Shen warned seriously.

Once you enter and exit, this is very important. Don't be like that. You sell people here, but you can't import them there. This joke is going to be big.

"And When Arsenal gives money, you remember to remind the Germans, my 20% has to be transferred." Gao Shen reminded.

As soon as Marino heard it, he immediately complained.

Why is he being scolded?

Isn't it because of the 20% sharing clause?

Let him go now?

I was scolded like this before I didn't split the money, but now it's really going to be split, and the German guy can't cut him with a knife?

"You'd better tell him yourself." Marino quickly pushed away.

"You are the general manager, of course I am looking for you, what am I looking for him for?" Gao Shen said confidently.

In terms of process, Gao Shen is right.

Marino nearly cried.

My general manager is too useless!

The benefits belong to both of you, how to divide it, you can talk about it yourself, can't you?

"Splash, Pierre Paul, you must remember what I told you before. Although we are migrant workers, we are dignified migrant workers. In the face of the unreasonable demands of the boss, we must fight back strongly and forcefully. Know how to manage upwards reasonably, otherwise, the boss will only have to make progress, and in the end it is us who suffer!"

Marino felt that what Gao Shen said made sense.

"But... every time I see him, especially that fierce face, I can't help but be afraid"

"What are you afraid of?" Gao Shen retorted with some hatred of iron and steel, "In this way, don't look at him deliberately, think of him as your wife, how you discipline your wife at home, you discipline him."

Hearing that Marino hesitated for a long time and never answered, Gao Shen couldn't help but ask again, "What's the matter?"

"Actually... at my house, it's my wife who is training me, how dare I train her?" Marino muttered in a low voice.

Gao Shen was stunned.

Nima, I was trained by my boss at work, and my wife at home. …

I can't save you!
