Football: The Hand that Covers the Sky

　　 On the penultimate day of July, Arsenal officially announced the transfer of German midfielder Özil. The German moved to Atletico Madrid for £40 million.

Also announced was the transfer of French winger Griezmann. The Frenchman came to London from Real Sociedad for 30 million euros, becoming Arsenal’s second signing worth more than 30 million euros this season. This single transfer is also Let Li Shou in Asen's value team history drop one place.

　　 This is obviously the result of negotiations between the two parties.

　　 Speaking of Li Shou, he finally failed to go back to attend the VIP premiere of Son Ye Jin’s new movie, which was the day before Arsenal’s transfer.

　　 Li Shou was stunned when Arsenal announced that Griezmann would join the team, because he never thought Wenger would actually believe his recommendation.

　　 Of course, the reason why this single transfer can be made is absolutely not only because of Li Shou’s recommendation, but also the observation of the scout team and the recognition of the coaching staff.

　　Actually, Arsenal's Spanish scouts have recommended Griezmann, but no one cared about it before, so this single transfer can be the biggest contributor to Li Shou, but this requires Griezmann to be able to play at Arsenal.

　　 "Head, do you need me to recommend another player?" Li Shou, who was about to go home after training, just ran into Wenger in the parking lot.

　　 "Talk about it" Wenger really became interested.

　　 De Bruyne is undoubtedly a genius, otherwise he would not be valued by Chelsea. Wenger also made an offer after discussing with scouts and the coaching staff, but was rejected by Chelsea.

　　 "System, recommend a central defender" So far, Arsenal has not bought a central defender.

　　 "Currently playing for the Celtics in the Sogra Super League center defender Van Dijk" then systematically gave a piece of information.

　　 Regarding Arsenal’s signing of the central defender, Li Shou is a little anxious. The time has come to August, and the Emirates Cup will start in two days. Even the players participating in the World Cup will return to the team before the Emirates Cup.

　　 In fact, Li Shou did not know that the player recommended by the system has always been within the scope of Arsenal's inspection, and even valued it, but Arsenal has been unable to decide whether to buy him.

　　 This time the recommendation of Li Shou seems to be of no use. Arsenal didn't make any moves for a few days. It doesn't matter to Li Shou, after all, he is just a player.

　　 At the same time, Arsenal have successively returned players these days. They first came to Arsenal to report on Griezmann, then Sanchez, then Giroud and Debuich, etc.

　　 With the players coming one after another and the opponents of the Emirates Cup, I don’t know if it is because of Li Shou. This time the Emirates Cup actually has Li Shou’s old club Monaco.

Although the summer has not passed yet, Monaco has undergone earth-shaking changes. Not to mention Li Shou’s transfer to Arsenal, coach Ranieri has also left, and just over a week ago, Rodríguez transferred for 80 million euros. Real Madrid.

　　 Monaco spent 160 million last season, but Monaco has recovered 100 million in the past half of the transfer period this season. In addition to the proceeds from this transfer, Monaco also won the Ligue 1 championship and the French Cup last season.

　　 With Li Shou and Rodriguez leaving, Monaco's striker core Falcao could not sit still. Although he won the double crown in Monaco, last season was not good for Falcao.

Coupled with the departure of Li Shou and Rodríguez, Monaco itself has no action, so it is normal for Falcao to want to leave. After all, he is no longer young, but Falcao has no team due to his serious injury last season. Willing to spend fifty to six million for it.

　　 In addition, Monaco's captain last season, Abidal, has also left. Monaco seems unwilling to give this veteran a new contract, who has already joined the Greek giants.

　　 When Monaco arrived in London, a player from the Monaco team switched to Newcastle, and then Newcastle United officially announced that Monaco striker Riviera had joined the team.

　　 In addition to Monaco, which has a close relationship with Arsenal, the other two teams in the Emirates Cup are Valencia from La Liga and Benfica from Portugal.

　　 The Emirates Cup is sponsored by Emirates. In the 06-07 season, Arsenal signed a sponsorship contract with Emirates, and the new stadium was named. This is also the origin of the Emirates Stadium name.

Although the Emirates Cup is a warm-up match, most of the rules follow FIFA's rules. It is a relatively formal warm-up match. Even after several years of holding, the reputation of the Emirates Cup has gradually surpassed the Dior Cup.

　　 With the arrival of the Emirates Cup and the return of World Cup players, Arsenal’s player numbers for this season are almost officially confirmed. The three goalkeepers are No. 1 Szczesny, No. 11 Li Shou, and No. 13 Ospina.

Newly joined player Debuxi got No. 2, Chambers No. 21, Sanchez chose No. 17, Griezmann chose No. 18~www.readwn.com~ It is said that Sanchez and Griezmann both have their favorites. Number, but because this number already has an owner, you can only choose other numbers.

　　 It can also be known from this that Li Shou is indeed an annoying existence in the fight with Ozil, but because of the help of the media, it is abruptly distorted from a villain to a decent one.

　　 But in football, the winner is always king. Li Shou is now a winner, and if Li Shou wants to maintain his decent image, he must always win.

　　 Although many rules of the Emirates Cup follow FIFA, it also has some innovations of its own. Although three teams are invited, in fact, each team only plays two games, which is absolutely the final championship based on points.

　　 Win the game to get 3 points, draw 1 point, and then get 1 point for each goal scored. This time Arsenal's opponents are Benfica and Monaco.

　　 With the current situation, Li Shou and Szczynsny should start in these two games respectively. As for the starting in that game, it goes without saying that they all know.

　　 As for Ospina, as the team's third goalkeeper, there should be little chance to play. Arsenal has surpassed Chelsea in goalkeeper thickness, becoming the most exaggerated existence of many European giant goalkeepers.

In fact, after Li Shou joined the team, it was not that no club wanted to buy Szczesny, but they were all rejected by Arsenal. After all, Li Shou has not really shown himself in the game, leaving Szczesny to the team The guarantee of the new season.

　　 And Szczesny is unwilling to leave like this. Winning the Premier League gold gloves last season gave Szczynski's self-confidence explosive growth. He doesn't think he will lose to Li Shou.

　　 But this was before, as the team began to train officially, Szczesny's confidence seems to be not as strong as it started.
