Football: Rebirth 04, I Create a Black Shop in Football

The current situation of Arsenal is not good.

Li Shiguang knows everything about Arsenal now.

So far this season, Arsenal has maintained the good form of last season, and now ranks second in the league, only behind Mourinho's Chelsea.

And last season, Arsenal won the Premier League championship trophy under Henry's leadership.

But this is also the last Premier League championship trophy for Arsenal in the next 20 years.

Because since the construction of the Emirates Stadium in 2003, Arsenal has been burdened with huge bank debts.

Then began the decade-long operation of selling the captain to pay off the debt.

As for the offer for Adebayor this time.

In Li Shiguang's guess.

On the one hand, Wenger cherishes talents. As we all know, Wenger is not only a tactical master, but also likes to train young players. And he has a good eye for people. Young players trained by him can often play well, so he has set his sights on Adebayo, who has performed very well recently.

Second, Wenger should be dissatisfied with Mourinho sitting on his head this season. He wants to strengthen his lineup so that he can maintain enough competitiveness to compete for the championship next season.

After analyzing the situation, Li Shiguang looked at Allen, who was still waiting for his reply, with a smirk and said, "Reject Arsenal first, and then, like last time, find a few tabloid reporters and let them spread the word that Leeds United has received many offers from giants about Adebayo, and is currently considering it internally."

Looking at the smirk on his boss's face, Allen knew that as long as Wenger's offer did not trigger Adebayo's penalty clause, he should not be able to take him away if nothing unexpected happened.

Then Li Shiguang ignored Allen who was still standing there thinking about which tabloid reporter to contact, and walked to the training ground on his own.

On Friday, Wenger returned to his office at the Conil training base after finishing the morning training.

He just turned on the computer and was about to watch the game video of tomorrow's opponent Middlesbrough.

"Ring, ring, ring." The phone on the table rang.

Wenger picked up the phone and heard assistant coach Boro Primorac's voice from the other end: "Arsene, Leeds United rejected our offer for Adebayor last night."

Hearing this news, Wenger recalled the angular face of Li Shiguang that he had seen on TV before, and replied without comment: "This guy seems to have a big appetite. Let's ignore him for now. Anyway, we are not in a hurry. What if there are better options in the transfer market after the summer window opens? After all, more than 20 million euros, this price is not cheap."

Hearing Wenger say this, Primorac hesitated for a moment, but continued: "But this morning, several newspapers reported Wenger shook his head and retorted: "Come on, Boro, you are not a child anymore. Is this the first time you have seen this kind of method? Don't worry about these news. Except for me, no one will spend so much money to buy a striker who is only 21 years old!" "But..." Wenger interrupted Primorac when he heard what he wanted to say: "Okay, Boro, I still have to prepare for tomorrow's game. Let's talk about this issue after the season ends!" After that, he hung up the phone and continued to study the Middlesbrough game video. Highbury Stadium The atmosphere on the scene was extremely warm. The voice of the live commentator was also ringing over the stadium: "1:0, Arsenal finally took the lead!"

"Thierry Henry, the king of Highbury! He saved Arsenal, besieged Arsenal for almost 90 minutes, and finally scored a goal under the leadership of Thierry Henry."

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are still a strong contender for the Premier League championship, we have not fallen behind!"

Looking at the players celebrating wildly on the field, Wenger, who always showed a gentlemanly image on the sidelines, couldn't help but wave his fist lightly.

He never thought that today's game would be so difficult. Middlesbrough changed its previous tactical style and started to park the bus at the beginning, which made Arsenal's players miserable.

So far in the game, a total of 27 shots have not sent the ball into Middlesbrough's goal.

Until just now, taking advantage of Middlesbrough's corner kick

After the goalkeeper saved the opportunity, Henry received the ball in the middle circle and broke through the defense of three Middlesbrough defenders before driving straight into the goal to score the winning goal.

But less than a minute after Middlesbrough restarted the game, Wenger's face suddenly changed.

Because he saw Henry, who was not holding the ball, suddenly sat on the lawn.

Seeing Henry's painful appearance, Wenger's heart skipped a beat and he began to pray to God in his mind.

After Vieira kicked the ball out of the sideline, Arsenal's team doctor immediately entered the stadium. After a brief examination, he gestured to Wenger for a substitution.

After the game, Wenger also hurriedly ended the press conference.

He wanted to see Henry's current situation. The league had reached the most intense stage. In his mind, Henry must not have any problems.

But things did not go as planned. After waiting anxiously in the locker room for 20 minutes.

Primorac, who had taken Henry to the hospital, received bad news. Henry's hamstring was torn, and this season was definitely over. As for whether he could recover when the next season started, it was still an unknown.

For a while, Wenger's frowning face was even more gloomy.

····

On Sunday morning, Li Shiguang got the news at the training ground.

In his memory, Henry's entire career was actually very smooth, without too many injuries.

It seemed that he had a relatively serious injury only after he went to Barcelona. As for whether it was a hamstring tear, he was not sure.

But this news should be a good thing for him.

Henry was out for the next game. Now there are 4 rounds left in the league. Arsenal, who is 5 points behind, is likely to follow the same trajectory as before. They cannot successfully defend the title and can only put their hopes of winning the championship next season.

And in the case that it is uncertain when Henry's injury will recover, for Wenger, he can only choose to recruit players.

Based on Li Shiguang's understanding of Wenger, this elegant man is likely to choose the young Adebayor in terms of signings.

In this case, let me add fuel to the fire.

Thinking of this, he waved to Allen who was recording data next to him.

After Allen trotted over, Li Shiguang whispered in his ear: "Find a few more powerful tabloid reporters and say that Leeds United seems to have accepted an offer from a certain club and is in the final negotiations."
