Chapter 196 Big Black Campbell

Manchester United used this line-up as an incentive for themselves, while Arsenal didn't care about it.

Gary Neville didn't dare to go against Ferguson, but after he played, he also showed a look of disdain and no concern.And Robbie Keane concealed a vicious smile behind his back.

Although the Manchester United players showed different expressions when they lined up to welcome them, they must all hope to overthrow Arsenal next season!

Manchester United is looking forward to revenge next season, and Tottenham Hotspur seeks to rise amidst the turmoil.

These are all on a macro level, what is important is the entire team, the rise and fall of the overall club's performance.For a certain player, they hope to win the championship as soon as possible, get more salary, and enjoy a better life.

After all, a club may have a history of more than a hundred years, but a player's career is only about 15 years, and the golden age is even shorter.

He has been training hard since he was a child, enduring the scorching sun on the training ground, and facing the baptism of wind and snow.

They devote their time on the court and sacrifice the opportunity to study cultural courses in school. It is difficult for them to win other jobs as ordinary job seekers.

Only with sacrifice can they gain. They lost their childhood life as ordinary people, so they struggled and fought for it.Hope to get countless honors and banknotes like those famous players.

Even after hard work, there are still many players who are forced to give up their dream of playing football in their 20s because of their lack of talent, because they have not met a Bole, and they are forced to give up their dream of playing football. Become an ordinary person and recover the time lost on the football field.

And many talented people are gradually refrigerated because of incompatibility with the team's system, discord with a certain player in the locker room, and poor communication with the coach, wasting their original outstanding talents.

The most regrettable thing is that many players who were originally optimistic about the young talent who expected to become a world-class superstar in the future, either encountered strong opponents or suffered from injuries during the process of growing up. It's an hour, it's not necessarily good.

Every player who can become famous and has enough strength has gone through many screening procedures and broke through layers of tests and difficulties to come to where he is today.

They enjoy the rewards of flowers and money, which is also a matter of course.

Money is a huge weekly salary, bonuses and various sponsorship fees and advertising endorsements.This has something to do with the strength and image of the players themselves.

While monetary incentives are important, they have limitations.

For example, it's impossible for a shampoo brand to find a bald-headed player to endorse, right?Could it be that the effect after use will be hair loss?

Of course, as long as it is not squandering, but with this weekly salary that is much higher than ordinary people, it is enough for the players to live a good enough life.

In turn, when the money is satisfied, there will inevitably be a considerable number of players who will be willing to pursue honor.

Either pursuing money first or caring about honor first, these are all personal thoughts of each player, so there is no need to delve into it.

Relatively speaking, most African players are not rich because most of their families are not rich, and some even need players to support a large family by themselves.

This is the case for Alexander Song. He was born in Cameroon, and his father died before he was three years old.The family does not have enough strong laborers who can go out to earn money, and there are more than 100 people in the family including brothers and sisters who need to support themselves.

Even because of this, netizens created a lot of jokes. For example, although Alexander Song’s weekly salary is high, his money is spent on his family. Teammate Cesc Fabregas often needs to drive to help his family. A truckload of beef was delivered to his house.

He can only afford one pair of sneakers. After being snatched away by excited fans in the last game, he can only wear the sneakers of a teammate who is one size smaller than his own. That's why his performance is so abnormal.

Many players in Africa are like this. Regardless of their high weekly salary, they spend most of their salary on their hometown and family.

After all, the infrastructure or human conditions there are quite backward, and the weekly salary is a drop in the bucket.

Therefore, the vast majority of African players are mainly pursuing salary. Although honors are liked, there is no need to force them.

Compared with Africa, Europe and South America are richer and more developed.

Many players have a lot of money, and they really don't care how much their weekly salary is paid.What they pay more attention to is the respect given to him by the club and the realization of self-worth.

For example, the veteran of the Arsenal team Bergkamp, ​​his weekly salary was even only [-] pounds at the lowest point!
The extremely unhappy Bergkamp even felt that this was an insult given to him by the club, and sought a transfer opportunity.If Shao Bo and David Dane hadn't had a long talk with him, perhaps Bergkamp would not have stayed at Highbury to win honors with the team.

Of course, if it weren't for Bergkamp's huge sum of money, he would not be able to accept such a low weekly salary contract.With personal assets as high as more than [-] million pounds, it doesn't matter if you earn an extra [-] to [-] pounds a week.

Most European players are like this. They try their best to pursue honors when they can, and when they get old, they think about going to a rich team to spend the end of their careers. By the way, they rely on their reputation to ask for more weekly salary.

Even Campbell is no exception.

After the end of the first full season in the 21st century, Tottenham and captain Campbell have not been able to reach an agreement on the contract extension.

When the media were speculating, Campbell suddenly appeared at the Kearney training center. In the media meeting room here, Shao Bo and Campbell announced that Arsenal's first signing had been successfully completed!
The media were extremely surprised. When they saw Campbell and Shao Bo appearing together, they already guessed the answer in their hearts.

It’s just that beforehand, no one could have imagined that Campbell, who has joined Tottenham Hotspur since the establishment of the Premier League in 1992 and has become the captain of White Hart Lane, would choose to defect to Arsenal, the mortal enemy of Derby!
In 1997, Campbell became the captain of the England team second only to Bobby Moore at the age of 23. This is an honor that is enough to make Tottenham fans proud.

However, four years later, Campbell, whose contract with Tottenham Hotspur has expired, chose to follow the same path as the previous nine predecessors-crossing the invisible Berlin Wall in north London.

Except for Graham, who has served as the head coach of both teams, the rest of the players who have played for both teams do not have the reputation and influence of Campbell.

In many people's eyes, Arsenal's ability to poach Campbell, especially this "free" White Hart Lane crown, is definitely the perfect revenge for Graham's choice of Tottenham Hotspur a few years ago !
Although the two teams are very close to each other, only a few minutes away, the grievances and resentments that have accumulated a century of history have made their hatred deepen.

Now, Campbell is also adding to the history of this north London.

Not to mention that in addition to these serious team grievances, Campbell has also had some sex scandals with Tottenham Hotspur's main players.

Weeks after Sheringham and girlfriend Nicola Smith split, Campbell took her out on a date, according to tabloid media.This is one of the reasons why they once fought in the dressing room at White Hart Lane.

Of course, it may also be one of the reasons why Campbell chose to leave Tottenham Hotspur.

As England's top central defender, Campbell has never been able to get honors that match his strength and reputation. It can be said that apart from a League Cup, Campbell has gained nothing during his so many years at White Hart Lane.

And what about Arsenal?Just to say that after Shao Bo became the head coach of Arsenal, they won the double crown twice in a row, successfully defended the league title twice in a row, and in addition to a UEFA Cup champion, they also nearly scored in the Champions League. finals.

Not to mention the two recent massacres of Tottenham Hotspur, almost completing the undefeated feat of winning the championship!
Naturally, there is no need to say who is better and who is worse. Moreover, Arsenal also offered Campbell a contract that was enough to make his heart beat.

Four years, with a weekly salary of [-] pounds-this is Arsenal's current maximum salary!

Not to mention Campbell, even Adams and Bergkamp failed to get such a high salary!

Of course, Adams, as the old captain, is not much different from this amount based on the fixed annual salary increase and loyalty bonus.

And Bergkamp is more concerned about his status and honors in the club.

It is the best to be able to gain both fame and fortune.

Campbell joining Arsenal can perfectly achieve this.

Although Tony Adams will not leave this season, he still has the final year of his contract with the club.But Martin Keown, who also belongs to the five veterans of the defense, will announce his retirement after the end of this season. At the age of 35, he will not go far. He will join Shao Bo's coaching staff and continue to cultivate excellent and reliable defense talents for Arsenal. , will be his next task.

Now among the five veterans of the defense, except for Adams, the other four are either studying coaching courses outside, or directly joining the club's coaching team. In short, no one is at home.

They are all players who have made great contributions to the team. As a player, they have contributed their own light and heat, and the club will naturally be responsible for their lives after retirement.

Of course, if they don't like the position offered by the club, they can also choose to continue their studies.Steve Boulder went to study coaching courses for a period of time, and then returned to the team to teach young players defense in the youth training center.
