My uncle is Inzaghi.

Chapter 65 They will compromise [Third update]

Arsenal joins the race for the Premier League title!

This surprised many media people.

However, many football experts have analyzed it on TV programs and newspapers.

Everyone thinks that it is not surprising for Arsenal to return to the championship ranks.

Because they have a very efficient forward.

Van Persie is very efficient.

In 13 league rounds, Van Persie has scored 9 goals.

But Li Mo is more efficient.

He scored 11 goals.

So Arsenal let Van Persie go, but did not lose much in terms of offensive strength.

Around Li Mo, Arsenal has explored an effective offensive system - although defensively, Arsenal also has loopholes.

But this is the Premier League.

In this troubled world, the Premier League.

Arsenal performed so well in the strong dialogue, and they proved their ability to fight tough battles-after 13 league rounds, Arsenal basically defeated all the strong teams.

They beat Tottenham, Manchester City, Chelsea, Manchester United and drew with Liverpool.

In the so-called Premier League big6 civil war, Arsenal currently tops the list with points.

The opponents Arsenal encountered in the first half were basically mid-to-lower teams.

If they perform well.

A straight winning streak is possible.

Therefore, the media in North London are now looking forward to Arsenal's championship prospects.

They were stable in the first half and then continued to gain momentum in the second half, and the standings reached the final rounds.

It is still unclear who will win.

"Don't forget...Professor Wenger has experience in competing for championships!"

on the London Sports Channel.

Arsenal legend Wright said with great confidence that Professor Wenger will definitely be able to lead Arsenal to the championship.

"We have Li Mo! Li Mo is better than Van Persie!"

Wright said quite proudly.

The Premier League schedule is quite intensive.

On the third day after the 13th league round, Arsenal will go to challenge Fulham away from home.

In fact.

Because the game against Fulham is at 12 noon.

therefore.

The Arsenal team actually only has two days and more than one day of rest.

It can be called back-to-back.

So the day after the game against Manchester United.

The entire Arsenal team is on holiday.

Wenger also did not arrange any training.

When it comes to the Christmas Express season in December, don’t expect any systematic training.

It’s basically a game every three or four days.

Let the players rest and not get injured.

That's half the battle won.

However, Wenger and his coaching staff do not take vacations. They will immediately formulate strategies to deal with their opponents in the next game.

Which players to rest, which players to start, what tactics to implement, etc. all require careful arrangements by the coaching staff.

Arsene Wenger soon received a familiar phone call after arriving at Colney Base.

"I'm sorry, Arsène. I forgot to ask you for a drink last night."

Ferguson's voice rang on the other end of the phone.

Hearing such a polite tone from the other side.

Wenger immediately became alert.

"Just say whatever you want, Alex."

"Nothing. I just want to talk to you about Li Mo."

"Don't even think about it!"

Wenger immediately hung up the phone.

His expression became extremely vigilant.

This old guy.

Just seduce Van Persie away.

Still want to seduce Li Mo?

It is simply unbearable!

On the other end of the phone.

Ferguson put down the phone helplessly.

Although he didn't say much good things about Li Mo in the media.

But facing a center like Li Mo who is young, can score goals, and seems to have full potential.

Ferguson must be greedy.

Originally, he felt extremely happy about taking Robin van Persie away from Arsenal.

But Wenger bought Li Mo with a backhand.

Now Ferguson felt a little uncomfortable all of a sudden.

Van Persie is already 29 and will be 30 soon.

Where is Li Mo?

Only 17 years old!

Such a comparison.

Lao Fan will soon become Mrs. Niu.

"Arsenal will definitely not sell Li Mo now. He has just joined Arsenal."

Mike Phelan felt that Ferguson's testing was in vain.

"That's not necessarily the case."

Ferguson put down his phone and said with squinted eyes.

As Li Mo became more and more famous.

He will definitely receive more attention from wealthy families.

Wenger has no doubt of this.

What's more, the relationship between Li Mo and Arsenal is not like Wilshere's relationship with Arsenal.

He is a youth training player of AC Milan.

Wenger could not guarantee that Li Mo would not be tempted by other super-rich clubs - not to mention the size of the club, in terms of salary alone, it would be difficult for Arsenal to compete with those super-rich clubs.

and so.

After receiving a call from Ferguson.

Wenger had a strong sense of crisis in his heart.

Although he believes that the current voices in the media that "Arsenal is about to compete for the championship" are too optimistic.

But Wenger does not deny that if the team can maintain stability and avoid large-scale injuries.

this season.

There is indeed a certain chance.

A situation where multiple teams compete for the championship.

It gave Arsenal a chance to fish in troubled waters.

Therefore, stabilizing Li Mo has become Wenger's most important thing now.

Renewing the contract with Li Mo not only cuts off the ideas of other teams, but also gives other players a reassurance and stabilizes their morale! !

Wenger quickly took the initiative to find Gazidis to discuss Li Mo's contract extension.

"The winter window is about to open, and we must give our fans reassurance. In addition, if Li Mo has not completed the contract extension before the winter window opens, I am worried that off-field factors will affect Li's performance. It will also affect the stability of the locker room."

Wenger said with a frown.

Wenger frowned.

Gazidis frowned even more.

He spread his hands and said: "Arsena, it's not that we won't give him a new contract, it's that his agent's asking price is too high!"

"They actually want the team's maximum salary! 10 weekly salary! He is only 17 years old and wants 10. When he gets his next contract, how much should he ask for?"

Gazidis' expression seemed a bit exaggerated.

Wenger's inner murmur: The next contract? If you are so picky, people may not be willing to sign a contract.

Wenger sighed and said: "In terms of his role on the field, he does deserve the maximum salary in the team."

in the arena.

What matters is strength.

Not qualifications.

"We must hurry up. Manchester United is already preparing to take action. I estimate that there are many clubs who want to take action against him."

"Today's world football is at a time when centers are in decline."

Wenger reminded.

A good center.

But it's very scarce.

Especially a center who perfectly fits the modern tactical system.

That's even rarer - now the requirements for centers are getting higher and higher.

Like Li Mo.

He is a center who is fast enough, has height for confrontation, has good sense of smell, has good psychological quality, has excellent shooting skills, and has quite high tactical literacy.

Where can you find me?

Now go to the transfer market to find a center of Li Mo's level.

There is no need to talk about anything above 70 to 80 million.

What's more, most centers of this level are unlikely to be released into the transfer market. Center forwards are a scarce product in this era.

Gazidis still bit the bullet and called Li Mo's agent Tulio.

Tulio's tone was very respectful.

It gave Gazidis enough face.

But he refused to let go even if he took the maximum salary in the team.

"My client accounts for more than half of the team's goals. My client is the core of the team's offensive tactics. His transfer fee is only two million euros. Inside and out, Arsenal makes a profit. There is enough. All we want is the maximum salary within the team, Mr. Gazidis."

Tulio said in a gentle tone.

But his last words.

Gazidis must have understood.

Now all Li Mo wants is the maximum salary within the Arsenal team.

If the Arsenal club refuses to let go.

That.

He may then accept a salary offer from another club.

Don’t say anything else.

Just in the Premier League.

Manchester United, Manchester City, and Chelsea can all offer far higher salaries than Arsenal!

Not to mention that there are many clubs abroad waiting to wave banknotes.

Don’t say anything else.

Newly promoted Paris Saint-Germain is not short of money.

Very, very, very not short of money.

They will definitely be willing to spend a lot of money.

After Gazidis hung up the phone.

The frown deepened.

He knew that the initiative was not on his side now.

Now it is not a matter of procrastinating - if the contract extension is not completed before the winter window, those wealthy teams will definitely pounce on him like sharks smelling blood.

By the time.

Even if Arsenal bites the bullet and doesn't sell it.

It will inevitably plunge the team into a whirlpool of public opinion, thus affecting the team's competitive performance.

"They're starting to get anxious, Lee!"

After Tulio ended the conversation with Gazidis.

He immediately called Li Mo to take credit.

Although he still has many Italian clients, some of whom are Italian internationals.

But now his most potential customer is undoubtedly Li Mo.

Therefore, Tulio handled Li Mo's matters personally.

"Are they really willing to pay me the maximum salary?"

Li Mo felt a little incredible.

Everyone knows that the top management of Arsenal Club are very stingy.

"They will compromise, Lee. As long as you keep performing as you are now, they will have to compromise."

Tulio said.

"Because the winter window is coming!"

Tulio smiled on the other end of the phone.

"And the media will be our helper."

Tulio was right.

The media will never let go of any news about Li Mo, the popular fried chicken in Europe.

The fourteenth round of the Premier League.

Arsenal challenges Fulham away.

There was a high-intensity dialogue just over two days ago, so Arsenal rotated many main players in this game, including Li Mo.

Li Mo didn't even make the roster for this game.

But throughout the game, the commentators mentioned Li Mo probably more times than the starting Arsenal players.

In the final game, Arsenal drew 1-1 with Fulham away from home.

The trend of media public opinion after the game basically revolved around the direction of "Arsenal lost its offensive direction due to Li Mo's absence".

Subsequently, many media broke the news about Li Mo's contract details.

"Li Mo is currently receiving a basic salary contract at Arsenal, and his contract with Arsenal is a 2+1 contract. The two parties signed a two-year contract. If both parties have no objections, they can automatically renew for one year. This means that, At the end of this season, Li Mo's contract actually only has one year left. He can play for Arsenal for at most one more season and then leave for free!"

The Daily Mail revealed some information that has caused panic among Arsenal fans in an article.

Blue-collar basic salary, 2+1 contract.

content of such a contract.

How can Arsenal fans feel safe?

As reported by the Daily Mail.

Fleet Street media outlets followed suit.

For a while.

Judging from the information disclosed by the media.

It was as if Li Mo could leave for free tomorrow.

Especially some journalists who are hostile to Arsenal.

For example, reporter Richard Hurst of the North London Evening News is jumping up and down these days.

"It is unlikely that Arsenal can retain a player like Li Mo. The debt they carried to build the Emirates Stadium limits Arsenal's investment, and some clubs can pay Li Mo more than 200,000 pounds a week at any time. ! This salary is twice the maximum salary in the Arsenal team!!"

After the 14 rounds of the league.

Arsenal ushered in the fourth round of the League Cup and played away against Stoke City.

This game is sandwiched between the 14th and 15th rounds of the league.

Less than forty-eight hours after the end of this game, there will be 16 league rounds. The opponent is West Bromwich Albion, who performed very strongly at the beginning of the season.

Therefore, considering the league, Arsenal also rested its main players in this League Cup.

But Li Mo entered the bench.

at the pre-match press conference.

Wenger intends to criticize the unreasonable schedule.

As a result, reporters were all asking about Li Mo's contract.

Wenger could only say he had no comment.

Then he got up and left.

Li Mo did not play in this League Cup match.

Arsenal still led 1-0 in the first 85 minutes of the game.

So Wenger used the last substitution in the 87th minute of the game and replaced him with Ramsey to strengthen the defense in the midfield.

As a result, in the 90th minute of the game, Stoke City forward Crouch equalized the score with a long shot.

After 90 minutes of fighting between the two sides, the score was one to one and it entered overtime.

Neither side scored in overtime.

Enter the penalty shootout.

Arsenal lost 4-5 in the penalty shootout.

Knocked out of the League Cup.

As soon as this game is over.

Wenger breathed a sigh of relief.

He actually doesn't have much regret about being eliminated from the League Cup.

The League Cup was originally a cup competition used by the professional leagues to compete with the FA Cup led by the English Football Association.

Only the top four professional leagues in England can participate.

Therefore, unlike La Liga, Bundesliga, and Serie A, Premier League teams have two domestic cups to participate in.

But traditionally.

English teams still pay more attention to the FA Cup, and the FA Cup is also more valuable than the League Cup.

After all, the FA Cup is the oldest football tournament in the world and its status in England is quite high.

If you are eliminated from the League Cup, you will be eliminated.

With the strength of Arsenal's lineup.

It is impossible for them to attack in full force.

The result of wanting to get everything is probably to get nothing.

Wenger is very clear that he wants to bite Manchester United and Manchester City in the league.

There must be a choice in the cup competition.

It's useless like the League Cup.

Being eliminated is not necessarily a bad thing.

　Third update, please vote for me

　　Let’s talk about the results. Yesterday, the highest order for a single chapter was 750, which is pretty good according to the subscription ratio - the subscription ratio was close to six to one.

　　But in terms of absolute numbers, this subscription is indeed a bit bleak.

　　Generally speaking, it is because the collection is too small.

　　Now we can only wait for subsequent recommendations to add the collection to the top.

　　In addition, some brothers said that I did not update this in time. I have not yet said the update time after it is put on the shelves.

　　Let’s set a time here.

　　At least 12,000 updates per day.

　　0 o'clock, 8 o'clock, 12 o'clock.

　　Three points in time, three chapters, each chapter has four to five thousand words.

　　That's tentatively decided.

　　Thank you for your support, thank you Mumu.
