Volume 2 Chapter 47 Who else?
Early morning at Kearney training base.
Lucky finished his warm-up exercises and headed towards the equipment room.
But as soon as he reached the door of the equipment room, he found it was tightly locked.
Lucky: “???”
Lekai tried to pull the door again, but it still didn't move.
He was a little confused because the equipment room in the past was not locked and could be used at any time.
He ran to the gym again and opened the door.
Still not moving.
Locked again?
Lekai was surprised. What was going on?
In desperation, Lucky could only wait until the employees came to work and then find the equipment manager Paul Johnson.
"The key? I can't give it to you!"
Paul Johnson directly rejected Lucky's request for the key.
Lucky was puzzled.
"Why?"
Paul Johnson smiled and said, "Arsene has issued a strict order. Others can touch the equipment, but you can't! Especially during this period of time, we still have to prepare for the physical examination in a while!"
Lucky blinked; "I just had a physical examination last week!"
"You have to do that. From now on, you have to have a physical examination every week!"
"Why?" Lucky was even more confused.
Paul Johnson smiled; "Arsene doesn't want you to have any problems again. Arsenal can't afford injuries now. If you get injured again before Cazorla and others come back, how are you going to play the next game?"
Lucky opened his mouth and said, "It's not necessary to do this. It's like guarding against thieves."
Paul Johnson; "If I don't lock it, will you not go?"
Lucky said firmly, "Yes!"
"Bullshit!" Paul Johnson cursed with a smile; "You sneaked in to do equipment training two days ago, do you think we don't know?"
Lekai was surprised; “You guys…”
Paul Johnson shrugged. "The gym has surveillance cameras. We checked them."
Lucky didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "You guys are spying on me?"
Paul Johnson said angrily: "If we don't monitor you, how can we know that you will sneak in to do strength training? We gave you a chance, but you didn't seize it!"
Lucky suddenly said helplessly, "Then I have to train, right?"
Paul Johnson: "No extra training is allowed. Go home and rest immediately after daily training! You are not allowed to practice at home. Don't think we can't find out what you do at home."
Lucky opened his mouth wide and asked, "Billy was bribed by you too?"
Paul Johnson: “He’s always been our guy!”
Lucky sighed : "Okay, but you have to give me a ball. I need to practice my sense of the ball."
Paul Johnson leaned over and pulled out a ball from under the office, threw it to Lucky and said, "Three hours in the morning and two hours in the afternoon. If you don't return it, I will go find you."
Lucky was speechless.
This is to prevent thieves!
After Lucky left, Paul Johnson couldn't help but chuckle.
He found this scene very interesting.
It is estimated that Luka is the first player that Wenger ordered not to train.
Others were eager to train, but Lekai was different. He was not allowed to train and this guy practiced secretly.
But at the same time, Paul Johnson couldn't help but sigh.
No success comes easily.
All of Lucky's performance this season is thanks to the days and months of training.
Talent is important, but if you slack off in training, you won’t be able to achieve what you have today.
On the other side, Wenger was in his office looking down at Lucky juggling the ball on the training ground and could not help but nod slightly.
He turned and walked to the reception sofa, opposite which sat the team manager Martin Hughes.
Wenger picked up a contract in front of him and said, "We have to sign a new contract with him."
Hearing this, Martin Hughes grinned.
The contract was revised three times in one season, with the salary getting higher each time, which is unprecedented.
Wenger put down the contract and said, "There are two options in total. The first one is a 5-year contract with a weekly salary of 90,000 pounds . The second one is a 10-year contract with a weekly salary of 300,000 pounds!"
Hearing this, Martin Hughes' hands trembled.
A weekly salary of 300,000 pounds is the highest salary in Arsenal at present.
That is to say, if Luka is willing to sign a ten-year contract, Arsenal will pay him a weekly salary of 300,000 pounds.
This also indirectly reflects how much the professor believes in the future of Lucky 8.
"There is also the issue of image rights. The club will not ask him for image rights, but can help him run this business. Of course, he needs to pay one-tenth of his income."
Martin Hughes grins, one in ten?
This is such a bargain!
Even one's own son wouldn't be so affectionate to him!
"There is also a loyalty bonus. If he renews his contract with the club after five years, Arsenal will pay him a considerable loyalty bonus..."
Wenger talked a lot, most of which were contract terms that were extremely favorable to Luka.
However, Wenger encountered a hurdle.
For example, regarding the transfer of Lucky Alex, if the offer from other clubs does not exceed 50 million Euros, the club will not inform Lucky Alex and will directly reject it.
This is a bit like Suarez's 40 million euro activation notice right contract.
But there are some differences.
Anyway, the professor has put a lot of effort into the issue of Lucky's contract, overcoming various obstacles one by one, just to prevent Lucky from leaving Arsenal!
When Lucky saw the new contract, he felt extremely warm in his heart.
Although there are a lot of small details when it comes to transfers.
But the treatment and other aspects are already very good.
"The professor lets you choose freely, two contracts!"
Martin Hughes handed over a contract: "Five-year contract, 90,000 pounds a week."
Another contract was handed over: "Ten-year contract, 300,000 pounds a week."
Lucky looked at it carefully again for a moment, picked up the five-year contract and said, "This is it!"
Martin Hughes nodded. This was a normal choice.
Then he added, "The professor wants to add a clause to the contract, but he wants your consent."
"What terms?" Lucky asked curiously.
Martin Hughes said: "During the professor's coaching period, if the team's performance is not satisfactory, then you cannot activate your transfer clause."
Hearing this, Lekai tilted his head and asked, "What exactly is this undesirable thing?"
Martin Hughes said: "There is no Champions League to play."
Lucky nodded and said, "Okay!"
Martin Hughes was stunned for a moment and asked in surprise, "You agree?"
Lucky nodded and said, "Yes! I agree. Sign the contract quickly. I'm going to go for training."
"No..." Martin Hughes looked down at the contract to confirm again. Lucky agreed so readily that he lost confidence.
There is no typo!
After confirming that there was no problem, Martin Hughes asked a soul question.
"Why?"
Lucky smiled, picked up the contract, signed it quickly, closed the pen cap, and said with a smile: "I hate disloyal people!"
Martin Hughes was stunned.
He remembered the boy's answer on that rainy day last year.
Martin Hughes took a deep breath and said slowly; "Thank you!"
Lucky smiled and said, "You're welcome!"
After saying that, he left the office.
…
On February 9, Arsenal visited Sunderland and won the game again at the opponent's home ground.
The whole game was extremely intense. When Arsenal gave up passing and controlling the ball, their style of play was no longer so beautiful.
Both the defense and offense are extremely dependent on Lekai's steals and passes.
Arsenal's offensive ability is insufficient, which is why they always win with small scores, but even so, Arsenal still firmly walks on the road to victory.
After 26 rounds, Arsenal's points have reached 50.
They are only three points behind second-placed Manchester City and only need one win to dethrone last season's Premier League champions.
All these changes make Arsenal fans excited.
I thought the season was over, and the media started chanting "Arsenal! OUT!"
But with the midfield almost collapsed, Arsenal started to rampage in the Premier League with a different look.
After winning four consecutive games, Arsenal showed a crazy momentum to harvest points in the late stage of the league.
In response to this, the London Sports Daily published a photo report that evening.
This is a map of the British Peninsula, with a gun port set up in North London, and its bombing range includes the entire United Kingdom.
The title is extremely domineering!
Who else?
After defeating Chelsea, Liverpool, Stoke City and Sunderland in succession, Arsenal became the only team in recent times to win four consecutive games.
Although they won every game by a small score, they steadily moved the points forward.
The Daily Mail even said:
"When Wenger's Arsenal starts to gain momentum in the latter stages of the league, Premier League teams should be careful! That terrifying Arsenal is coming!"
