Chapter 170 Impressing Li Shou With Sincerity
But soon, Wenger's eyes were replaced by determination, as he remembered what Grimandi had said in his office earlier.
"Head, to put it bluntly, how much time do you think you have, and how much time the club will give you. In recent years, I think you know better than me what the fans are like." Grimandy was mentioned by Wenger in Monaco.
"Do you think this Chinese goalkeeper can help me and help the team change everything now?" Wenger's face was a bit ugly, because Wenger knew very well that what his former disciple and current colleague said was the truth.
In the past few years, not to mention the endless criticism from the media, the fans have also begun to be impatient to let him go out of class. Regarding this, even a famous coach like Wenger still feels a little resentful and unwilling.
If Arsenal did not have Wenger, it might have sunk long ago. In the past ten years, Wenger has been grazing and milking, desperately maintaining Arsenal's status as a traditional giant in the Premier League.
Perhaps the fans were also grateful to Wenger at the beginning, but after a long time, after watching competitors win championships one after another, it is useless for the fans to understand, let alone the people on Fleet Street.
"We must win this Chinese goalkeeper. We have been far away from the championship for too long, and this goalkeeper is the most important part of our impact on the championship." Thinking of this, Wenger stood up and said.
"If Wojciech doesn't even have the confidence to compete with others, then he is not qualified to stay in the arsenal." The final decision was made. Although Wenger's prestige has declined over the years, Wenger still has the right to make the final decision on the transfer.
Hearing that Wenger was so determined, the general manager didn't say anything, because he knew very well that the current Arsenal head coach had more rights than him, especially in terms of signings.
In fact, ten years have slowed Arsenal down. Now Arsenal have the money to buy stars, but Wenger has been used to "frugal housekeeping" over the years, so that he doesn't know how to spend the money.
Of course, there is another point, that is, Wenger is really not used to buying those long-established stars. In this regard, Li Shou fully meets Wenger's selection criteria for players. Li Shou in 92 is still nearly half a year away from 22 years old.
"But there is one thing I need to remind everyone. Even if we offer 2000 million euros, people may not come. You know, Real Madrid and Barcelona are currently pursuing him," reminded the director Fryer, who has never had a sense of presence.
"Yes, as far as I know, this Chinese goalkeeper is infinitely close to Real Madrid and Barcelona." Gazidis' eyes lit up when he heard Fryer's words.
With Arsenal's performance problems, Wenger gradually handed over his power, but for the club's general manager, this power is far from enough.
If anyone in the club wants Wenger to leave Arsenal the most, it must be the general manager Gazidis.
In the eyes of the general manager, Wenger is no longer an indispensable presence for Arsenal. Now that Arsenal has recovered, they don't need a coach with too much power but who can't lead the team to the championship.
"We can impress him with sincerity." Hearing this, Grimandi couldn't help feeling guilty.
Arsenal is a traditional giant in the Premier League. If it is a deal with an ordinary team, then Arsenal's advantage is not too great, but now the competition is between Real Madrid and Barcelona, so Arsenal does not have any advantage.
"Sincerity?" Hearing these two words, Gazidis wanted to laugh.
In today's world football, how much is sincerity worth?Can sincerity make a player choose Arsenal between Real Madrid and Barcelona?If sincerity is useful, there will not be so many players desperately wanting to join Real Madrid and Barcelona.
"No matter what, make an offer to Monaco first, and then contact the player's agent." After the finalization, the group left the conference room. Although the World Cup is coming soon, it is also the transfer period of major European leagues. Arsenal also has an important goal to win this summer.
After the group left the meeting room, the general manager and director went to deal with their own affairs, and Wenger returned to his office with two scouts.
"Do you think it is possible for this Chinese player to choose us?" Wenger asked after returning to the office.
"It's hard, there are not many players who can refuse the recruitment of Real Madrid and Barcelona," Luo Lie said helplessly.
"Yeah, there is no player who can refuse these two clubs." Wenger's face flashed a bit of bitterness when he heard this.
Because Wenger thought of a person, Francisco Fabregas, the former core of Arsenal, the player Wenger trained, for him, Wenger even sent the former captain Vieira away, but in the end?In order to return to Barcelona as a bench, Cesc Fabregas also advanced his own money to complete the transfer.
"But even so, we can't give up." Grimandi also had a look of resentment.
"Of course I won't give up. First contact the player's agent, and then find out where the player is. I will go there in person." Wenger decided to follow Grimandi's words and impress Li Shou with sincerity.
It's just that the current Arsenal actually only has sincerity left. Of course, Wenger's sincerity is based on Li Shou's performance and statistics. The reason why Monaco can win the championship this season is because of Li Shou's existence.
Wenger actually does not need Li Shou to keep 34 clean sheets in 31 games like in Monaco, and Li Shou may not be able to do it. After all, the Premier League is far more intense than Ligue [-], but as long as Li Shou can perform better than Szczesny, then Arsenal will be qualified to compete for the championship. After all, the difference between Arsenal and other giants is not too big.
For example, this season, Manchester City won the championship by only 7 points more than Arsenal. If Li Shou can add three more clean sheets to the opponent based on Szczesny, then Arsenal may surpass Manchester City.
Arsenal is not the only one interested in Li Shou in the Premier League. Although Chelsea is more of a troublemaker, Manchester United also has De Gea. Besides, Manchester United may not be able to attract Li Shou with their ranking this season.
The real lack of a goalkeeper is Liverpool, another traditional giant in the Premier League. Last season, Liverpool even ruined the champion who was close at hand because of a mistake by captain Steven Gerrard.
And this mistake from Gerrard also proves that Liverpool need Li Shou. If Li Shou was the goalkeeper last season, maybe he can save Gerrard's mistakes, because Li Shou has proved his ability in this area many times this season in Ligue [-].
In addition, Liverpool also has the same thoughts as Arsenal. If Li Shou has more clean sheets than his own goalkeeper, does that mean that even if Gerrard makes a mistake, he will not lose the final championship.
