Volume 1 Chapter 40 I need money!
On May 20th, one week had passed since the end of the 2011/2012 season.
This season, Manchester City won the top league championship again after 44 years.
In the final moments, they finished with the same points as Manchester United in the standings, and based on the rules, Manchester City won the 2011/2012 Premier League title on goal difference.
This made all Manchester City fans ecstatic.
Manchester on that day belonged to the Blue Moon and every Manchester City fan.
In the last game, Aguero's shot was called a priceless goal.
Aguero has become a favorite of Manchester City fans after only one season at the club.
Manchester City won the championship and Manchester United unfortunately failed to defend the title, but the two Manchester giants still showed their heroic spirit.
Manchester United led by Ferguson is still the iron-blooded lion!
Chelsea has completely given up on the league and started to focus on the Champions League.
Despite the bad luck in the league, Chelsea is making great progress in the Champions League and has reached the final.
They will face the Southern King Bayern Munich in the Champions League final on May 21, which is tomorrow!
Villas-Boas has been sacked and replaced by Roberto Di Matteo as Chelsea manager.
After the palace coup initiated by the Chelsea veteran, Boas lost the support of the players, management and owners. After eight months of staying at Stamford Bridge, he finally left in frustration.
Under the leadership of new coach Di Matteo, Chelsea's veterans seemed to have a second spring, defeating strong opponents one after another in the Champions League, and finally defeated the arrogant Barcelona to advance to the final and meet Bayern Munich.
Arsenal has completed the task of qualifying for the European Cup, and the main players have left for the holidays to begin preparing for the upcoming European Cup.
Arsenal has had its ups and downs this season, and Van Persie has had amazing performances this season.
To some extent, Arsenal's place in the Champions League was earned by Van Persie.
Van Persie had no injuries this season and played in full attendance, so he also won the Premier League Golden Boot and became the best player of the Premier League in the 2011/2012 season.
Such Van Persie inspired Arsenal fans.
They feel that Van Persie's form will continue into next season without any problem, and that Arsenal will make a comeback next season and launch an attack on the championship.
Arsenal is full of confidence in this regard.
…
Wenger has been busy lately.
Even though the season is over, he still has a lot to do.
First, he needs to sort out the report cards submitted by the players last season and mark their homework.
Van Persie's statistics are undoubtedly luxurious, with full attendance and 30 goals in a single season. It can be said that in Arsenal's most difficult time, Van Persie carried the team forward.
Wenger was very satisfied with Van Persie's performance, and he was also looking forward to Van Persie's performance next season.
In midfield, Arteta's performance was not amazing, but it was acceptable.
Wenger also does not expect Arteta to perform like Fabregas. He has to admit that Arteta is just a substitute for Fabregas.
Walcott and Arshavin both performed very well.
Especially Walcott, the little tiger has performed very well this season and ushered in a period of explosiveness at Arsenal.
Compared to Walcott, Arshavin's performance is slightly worse, but it is also very good.
But next season, Wenger is ready to give Gervinho more opportunities.
In midfield, Rosicky is still injured, and this time the injury is quite serious. It is unknown whether he can play next season.
Fortunately, Wilshere has returned from injury.
This is a key point.
In Wenger's vision, the midfield next season will be composed of Arteta, Lukay and Wilshere.
Of course, Lucky is in a rotation state.
After observing for half a season, as long as his performance is stable enough, Wenger will use him without hesitation.
Thinking of this, Wenger picked up Lucky's data this season.
Lucky has played a total of five times this season.
One FA Cup, four Premier League titles.
All of them came on as substitutes and did not start.
But within the limited time, he gave Wenger a big surprise.
In five games, he averaged 2.9 steals per game, 2.5 interceptions per game, a 97% pass success rate, and 4 key passes.
As a substitute player, to achieve such statistics in a limited time is simply amazing.
This is also the reason why the professor is determined to sell Alexander Song in the summer window.
Cash out quickly while there is still some value.
Wenger believes that after half a season of training, Lukay has met the requirements to replace Alexander Song, and may even exceed that.
After all, from a defensive perspective alone, many first-team players said that they trust Lekai more.
Although this was a private vote, it is still an extremely remarkable thing to gain the trust of teammates in just five games.
Wenger was sitting at his desk, sketching out a blueprint for the future.
Suddenly, there was a rapid knock on the door.
When he dared to shout, the door was suddenly pushed open.
Patles walked in aggressively, holding a newspaper in his hand. He slammed it on the table and roared, "Another traitor!——"
Wenger was a little puzzled and he looked down.
Just with this one glance, Wenger's expression froze.
Daily Mail: "Van Persie revealed that he is not prepared to renew his contract with Arsenal! Does it reveal the possibility of a transfer! "
This was a bolt from the blue, and Wenger was stunned.
This is something he never imagined. Although there have been rumors circulating in the team, Wenger has been actively contacting and mediating between the club and Van Persie, hoping to find a win-win solution.
But he didn't expect Van Persie's attitude to be so resolute.
Without any notice, it was directly exposed in the media.
This is a naked unilateral declaration.
Wenger forced himself to calm down, he quickly took out his mobile phone and dialed Van Persie's number.
But he made several calls in a row, but the other party didn't answer.
Finally, Wenger had no choice but to call Van Persie's agent.
This time, the other party answered.
"professor!"
The voice of Van Persie's agent came from the phone.
Wenger said with anger in his voice; "I need an explanation!"
Van Persie's agent was silent for a moment, and then said, "In fact, this is something we have decided long ago. Robin feels very lonely in Arsenal. He wants more honors and wants to go further in the European war, but Arsenal cannot give him these things. Professor, what Robin needs is a partner, not a teammate who only knows how to rely on him!"
Wenger said angrily, "He is the tactical core and it is normal for his teammates to rely on him."
"But he played very unhappy, professor!" said Van Persie's agent.
Wenger pursed his lips and said in a submissive tone, "We can discuss this, right?"
"Robin has already given you a chance, summer window and winter window, the 'partner' he has been waiting for has never arrived! So, he decided to leave."
Wenger asked; "Where is he going?"
Van Persie's agent said: "He said he would not stay in the Premier League, he did not want to be an enemy of Arsenal, he would go to other leagues and continue to pursue his Champions League dream there."
Wenger sighed , his hand holding the phone trembling slightly, and said, "What if... I ask him to... stay?"
This sentence made Patras turn his head, with a look of pity on his face.
The godfather of Arsenal, the once high-spirited Arsene Wenger, has never had such a humble moment.
But Arsenal now really can't stand the turmoil.
They can't afford the departure of another captain!
This will cause the entire Arsenal to completely collapse.
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time.
Patles noticed that Wenger's breathing became heavier.
After a while, Van Persie's agent finally spoke.
"Sorry, Professor!"
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Wenger seemed to have been drained of all his strength and slumped down on his desk.
Wenger's expression became confused and somewhat at a loss.
"Arsene..."
Wenger waved his hand, gave a forced smile, and said in a hoarse voice, "Let me be alone for a while, okay?"
Patras looked at the other person deeply and nodded.
"I'll wait for you at the door!"
The door of Patrese's office stood quietly by the side.
He also felt bad.
There is some indignation, but more of helplessness.
He felt bad for Wenger.
This old coach who made great contributions to Arsenal experienced nothing but betrayal in the last years of his career.
If he could go back in time, would he make the same decision?
Vieira, Henry, Lehmann, Pires...
At this moment, what emerged in Patrese's mind was the glorious Arsenal that year.
The Gunners who were so glorious that year!
I don't know how long it took before the office door slowly opened.
Patrese saw that Wenger's face had become much older and full of fatigue.
"What do we do?" asked Patras.
In response, Wenger took a deep breath and said, "We are going to see the boss!"
"Kroenke?" Patiles frowned. To be honest, he really didn't like this boss.
On the one hand, it continues to erode the club's shares, and on the other hand, it makes almost zero investment in the club.
Wenger smiled and said, "I have lost my patience with him. He has not fulfilled any of the things he promised! So, let's find another boss!"
Patrese's eyes lit up.
Arsenal also has a 'second' boss.
The same Russian oligarch as Chelsea's owner, Usmanov.
This person has always advocated increasing investment.
But because Kroenke holds a larger stake, he cannot interfere in the club's operations.
"I will help him increase support for the acquisition of club shares, but he must not be stingy!"
At this point, Wenger's expression turned ferocious, and he swore, "I'm fed up with this kind of shit! I need money! A lot of money! -"
