Super Prophecy Master

Chapter 426 I hope everything goes well
Arsenal played against Manchester United at home and played a very classic 'Battle of the Chiefs'.

The focus of the game revolved around the Dutch star Van Persie.

Van Persie came off the bench.

In the 67th minute of the game, Manchester United relied on Wayne Rooney's first goal in eight league games and still maintained the lead against Arsenal. Wenger replaced Hleb with Van Persie, and at the same time sent a signal to the players--
Time to give it a go!
This is a very classic substitution, because Van Persie's appearance played a decisive role.

Before this round of competition, Van Persie was Arsenal's most efficient shooter. His average time to score a goal was 148 minutes, which was higher than Henry's 160 minutes.

Van Persie continued to maintain high efficiency.

The goal happened in the 83rd minute. Rosicky made a pass from the right. Henry followed up in the back corner of the center. Van Persie rushed to the back post. At a small angle, he decisively pushed the top of the goal with his left foot. Goalkeeper Van der Sar no way.

Van Persie helped Arsenal equalize, and the cheers at the Emirates Stadium reached the limit.

The golden goal brought Arsenal back from the brink of death.

In the third minute of stoppage time, when the referee was about to blow the whistle for the end of the game, Henry helped Arsenal score the winning goal. Arsenal defeated Manchester United and ended their embarrassing six-year home win against the Red Devils.

When talking about Van Persie after the game, Wenger said with some regrets, "I didn't plan to let Van Persie play because 'he still has problems with his ankle', but Rooney's goal and Hleb and Rosicky were delayed. Assault on the wing, I can only choose to let him play."

Van Persie was forced out.

Wenger praised Van Persie's 'smell', "It's very difficult to give the players where and when to appear, you have to be born with this ability and feeling."

"Van Persie can both move forward (sprint) and retreat (response). He is much more mature on the field, transforming from an individual to a member of the team."

But the memories left to Van Persie in this game are not all sweet. Wenger confirmed after the game that Van Persie was accidentally injured after scoring a goal, and the foot bone was "partially fractured". "It has nothing to do with the old injury, he injured it after scoring really worried about his ankle."

Wenger's heavy tone made many people worry, and the latest news from "The Sun" soon confirmed that Van Persie had a fractured fifth phalanx on his right foot and may miss all the remaining games of the season.

If the scrutiny turns out to be an early farewell to the season, it will undoubtedly deal a heavy blow to Arsenal's future prospects.

----

Of course, regardless of Arsenal's factors, losing is also a heavy blow to Manchester United.

Manchester United were only 10 minutes away from defeating Arsenal. Unfortunately, Rooney's first goal in eight games failed to make them have the last laugh. The 200th dialogue between the two giants in the history of the Premier League ended in a defeat for the Red Devils. Losing zero to one, Manchester United once again tasted the bitter taste of "double defeat" after 5 years.

In the No.18 round of the league, Manchester United just lost to West Ham United. This defeat also cost Manchester United another three points.

Millwall went straight all the way, defeated West Ham United to win the league for four consecutive victories, and at the same time opened up a gap of six points in the standings, completely securing the first place in the league.

By the next day, Zhang Yang was in a good mood.

Manchester United's loss is an unexpected gain. Widening the gap means that the pressure will be reduced. You no longer have to worry about losing a game and being tied or overtaken by Manchester United.

The players are also very relaxed.

This also made the training atmosphere on the second day more relaxed. Van Persie's serious injury gave many teams, including Millwall, a vigilance. Players with injuries must not be able to play.

The current time point is the period of high incidence of injuries, and we must pay more attention to the physical condition of the players.

Zhang Yang also has other troubles.

The hype in the Spanish media is still going on, and it is constantly mentioned in the reports that he may join Real Madrid as an assistant coach. As a result, many reporters are squatting outside the club, wanting to conduct interviews on this news. Make an appointment for an interview.

Zhang Yang decided to hold a press conference after training to clarify the rumors.

The hype in Spain was vigorous, and the British media also continued to make reports, and even some people in the team believed the content.

Frederick ran over and asked, "Zhang, are you really going to Real Madrid?"

Zhang Yang rolled his eyes, "I don't know about this at all. There must be some misunderstanding. I'm planning to clarify to the media after the training is over."

Wilkinson walked into the training ground, he went straight to Zhang Yang and asked about it.

Zhang Yang asked helplessly, "Would you believe it? I gave up the contract I just signed just to become an assistant coach at Real Madrid? It doesn't make sense at all, and I'm Chinese, not Spanish."

"Of course I believe you, just to make sure. I probably understand when you say that."

"What?" Zhang Yang was a little confused.

Frederick and Wise also leaned over to listen to Wilkinson explain the reason.

"To put it simply, Real Madrid Chairman Calderon regards you as a bargaining chip to win over the members and the board of directors. He said this in the hope that he will get the support of more members in a short time to stabilize his chairmanship."

Zhang Yang was stunned for a while, thought for a while, and said, "So, I was used?"

"Yes."

Wilkinson was pretty sure.

Zhang Yang is a little unbelievable, it really is "people sit at home, disasters come from the sky", he has nothing to do with Real Madrid, and he will become the chairman of the opponent's bargaining chip?
"Many people have been used, such as Kaka and Robben. Calderon's bargaining chip for the chairmanship is to let these players join Real Madrid. He said it to everyone, but he didn't do it." Wilkinson explained , Then laughed, "It's really interesting, you can be tied with these stars."

"It's nothing to be proud of."

Zhang Yang wouldn't take it as a joke, because he was being used, and he was being used inexplicably. He felt that when he faced the reporter later, his tone must be stronger.

An hour later, Zhang Yang was talking to Ruan Hailong about the Christmas Weibo update, when a phone call came in suddenly, he looked down and noticed that it was Andy.

"Zhang, a call from Madrid, they want to ask if you are interested in joining Real Madrid."

Andy said energetically.

"What's the situation?" Zhang Yang didn't expect that Real Madrid would really call.

"They offered... very interesting conditions. Yes, I was shocked." Andy said, "The manager said, if you can go to Real Madrid as an assistant coach, you will be guaranteed an annual salary after tax. , with a minimum of 500 million euros."

"500 million euros?" Zhang Yang twitched the corner of his mouth.

Are Real Madrid really willing to spend money, with an annual salary of 500 million euros after tax, to hire an assistant coach?
Too extravagant.

If it was before last season, that is, when he had just led Millwall to the Premier League, Real Madrid offered this price and invited him to join the coaching team, maybe he really would not refuse.

500 euros!

The contract signed by Zhang Yang and Millwall, the average pre-tax annual salary is only 300 million pounds, which is almost 410 million euros. Real Madrid directly raised the salary to 500 million, which is still the "minimum obtainable", which means that there is a lot of money. floating space.

But Zhang Yang is not tempted at all, because his contract with Millwall has a series of bonus sharing clauses. As long as Millwall gets good results, his annual salary can easily exceed 500 million euros.

Andy continued, "The manager also said that Real Madrid will help you pay the liquidated damages. In addition, he also promised that after working for Real Madrid for four years, when the time is right, he will consider you as the head coach of Real Madrid."

"..."

Zhang Yang felt a little speechless.

What a proud face this must be to speak out!

"As long as you work in Real Madrid for four years, we will consider you as the head coach of Real Madrid in the future!" In other words, "Now you are not up to the invitation to become the head coach of Real Madrid, come, join Real Madrid! Work hard, There will be opportunities in the future.”

"What do you think?" Andy asked.

"What do you say?"

"I guess, of course...you will definitely refuse." Andy smiled, "I just called you to tell you about it, and I will confirm it with you by the way. Then I will help you refuse."

"Are you still calling?" Zhang Yang asked suddenly.

"Yes?"

"Don't just say no. Give them my number and ask Calderon to call at six o'clock."

"you sure?"

"Very sure."

----

It was Real Madrid sports manager Mijatovic who called Andy.

Although he has confidence in Real Madrid and the attractiveness of high salaries, Mijatovic still has little confidence in poaching Zhang Yang. He just contacted Zhang Yang's agent as Calderon said, and generally talked about Real Madrid's sincerity. , Let the other party's heart move before proceeding to the next step.

This is Mijatovic's strategy of poaching people, and it is also the strategy implemented by Calderon.

Zhang Yang really became his bargaining chip.

The way Calderon and Mijatovic discussed was to keep in touch with Zhang Yang's agent, or contact Zhang Yang himself, or even his acquaintances and friends, to keep making news that 'Real Madrid has been in contact with Zhang Yang'. The longer the better.

This is very beneficial to them.

If it can be negotiated to let Zhang Yang come to Real Madrid, the process of 'delaying time' will also allow Real Madrid to lower their bargaining chips. Otherwise, the process of 'delaying time' will also allow the media to make continuous reports, leaving everyone behind. The next impression of "Real Madrid has been trying to poach corners" is that it failed in the end. At that time, the media and fans will attribute part of the responsibility to "publicity rejecting Real Madrid", not their promise not being fulfilled.

From this matter, Calderon deserves to be called a 'football politician'.

What Mijatovic didn't expect was that things seemed to be uncertain. He had just contacted Zhang Yang's agent, and the other party called and asked Calderon to talk to Zhang Yang in person?
"Zhang Yang asked me to talk to him? So, he is tempted?" When Mijatovic mentioned it, Calderon was very proud. He felt that this was the wisest decision he had made since he took office.

"Probably so?" Mijatovic was not sure.

Calderon thought for a moment and said, "However, according to the original plan, we will continue to procrastinate. I will give him an uncertain attitude on the phone later, and then the initiative will be in our hands. "

"I hope everything goes well." Mijatovic said, but his face didn't change at all.

He always felt that something was wrong.
