[Football] The transfer fee is 10 billion

"After talking with the executive director Mr. Gazidis, I think we have a huge difference in the future development direction of the team. Therefore, I have decided not to renew the contract with the Arsenal club."

This is an open letter recently published by the current Arsenal captain Robin van Persie on his personal social account, and his behavior is like a fuse, igniting the dissatisfaction and anger of Arsenal fans for many years.

Van Persie came to Arsenal for 8 years and was placed high hopes by head coach Arsene Wenger. Last season, as the core and captain of the team, he won the top scorer in the Premier League with 31 goals and became the hottest striker in Europe.

He let Arsenal see a glimmer of revival, but soon, through a tough open letter, he pushed the fans who trusted him and loved him back into the dark abyss.

"When he first came to Arsenal eight years ago, we were the Premier League giants with an unbeaten record and he was just a little boy."

"Everything he got today was given to him by the professor (Wenger's nickname), how could he be so ungrateful?"

"It's ridiculous that last year he kept saying, 'If there is one person in the world who is loyal to Arsenal, that person is me'. His loyalty is really worthless, and it will be gone if he doesn't."

"..."

For a while, Arsenal fans were excited and made a series of extreme remarks on the Internet, and some fans even started to organize parades and protests.

At this time, some famous Arsenal figures also stood up and added fuel to the fire: "Van Persie proposed to terminate the contract at this time, which undoubtedly put the club in a dilemma."

"His contract has only one year left. It is impossible for Arsenal to sell it at a good price at this time. If he does not sell it, the contract will expire after one year and he will leave the team as a free agent. At that time, Arsenal will have one point. You can't even get the money."

Some British media are even afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and they will openly publish many rumors and unconfirmed news.

"British Post": "According to people close to Van Persie, when he saw the column of weekly salary, he directly threw the new contract offered by Arsenal into the trash can."

"BBC": "It is reported that Manchester City intends to introduce the Dutch striker, and his weekly salary is twice that of Arsenal."

"Sky Sports" commentator: "I have to admit that the current Arsenal is no longer worthy of Van Persie who is in full swing. He should choose a more powerful club to play for."

"The Sun": "After Van Persie left, who else is there in the Arsenal team except for a group of old, weak, sick and disabled? The only undefeated team in the history of the Premier League, this will end sooner or later."

"Mirror": "From the championship to the fourth, the fourth is reduced to the middle and lower reaches, and the middle and lower reaches of the team have to face relegation. In a few years, Gunners fans can only go to the British Championship to watch Arsenal's game."

"..."

Van Persie is not the first captain to leave Arsenal. In fact, from the departure of Vieira in 2005, to Gallas' transfer to the city rival Tottenham Hotspur, and then to Cesc Fabregas' resignation and paying out of his own pocket Also going to Barcelona, ​​this year Van Persie refused to renew his contract and was ambiguous with other teams...

In the past 7 years, Arsenal is about to lose their seventh captain. The captain's armband is like a "transfer notice", and the "Arsenal captain's law" has become a pastime for fans of other teams.

There are two main reasons for the loss of core players every year: First, the financial crisis caused by the huge loan owed for the construction of the stadium.Second, from the 2004-2005 season to the present, the team has not won the Premier League championship for 8 years.

The club has fallen into a vicious cycle. Because there is no money and no good players can be bought, the team loses its ability to compete for the championship. And because there has been no championship for many years, the top stars in the team are dissatisfied with the status quo and give up. The team loses without a championship. Without top players, its commercial value is greatly reduced, and it cannot attract powerful sponsors. On the other hand, there are bank loans to be repaid, and the financial crisis is getting worse.

In order to end this problem from the root, the only way for the board of directors is to imitate other teams and introduce world-renowned business giants to acquire shares in Arsenal.

The two rich men who came to Arsenal successively are Usmanov from Russia and Kroenke from the United States.

According to the experience of other teams, when the big boss acquires shares, the next step is to inject a large amount of capital. The team buys and buys in various ways, and offers sky-high contracts to increase the salary of the players, stimulating them to perform better on the court and contributing to the team. Win the championship, attract more powerful sponsors to pay, and then continue to buy first-class stars to strengthen the team.

However, what Arsenal recruited was not a god of wealth like Abramovich (Chelsea owner), but two penny-pinching iron cocks.

In the past few years, the two have never injected a penny into Arsenal. Instead, they have continued to reduce the club's expenses, deduct transfer fees, and finally put the saved funds into their pockets through dividends.

They also lied and played loyal Arsenal fans for fools.

Qian Mingming has taken it for himself, and he keeps claiming that he has a budget of 7000 million pounds to invest in the transfer market, and he will definitely bring back ideal players for the team.

However, for Wenger's favorite player, the negotiations dragged on from the opening of the transfer window to the closing of the transfer window. The board of directors with financial power kept pretending to be dead. In the end, they could only watch the player they liked being signed by other clubs.

Kroenke and Usmanov have an unshirkable responsibility for the former champion team's downfall.

The team that countless diehard Gunners fans believe in is just a tool to make money in their eyes.

The fans fell into deep despair. Regarding Van Persie's departure, the team's signings for the new season, and the future development direction, they hope that the club can stand up and give an explanation to the 2700 million Arsenal fans around the world.

The action of angry fans was astonishing. Soon, a joint letter signed by nearly 10 Arsenal fans was published online. They expressed their dissatisfaction with the inaction of the management and hoped to have a direct dialogue with the club CEO Gazidis.

However, this open letter did not receive a response from Arsenal, because Gazidis, who they wanted to talk to directly, is currently enjoying the sun and the beach in Miami, USA with his family.

Fans' protests lasted for half a month until the start of the 2012-2013 Premier League season.

In the first round, Arsenal played against Sunderland, who were almost relegated last season.

0 to 1, Arsenal lost the game, and the captain did not even appear in Wenger's squad, which also confirmed the rumors that he was about to leave the team.

An extremely ugly game completely detonated the anger of Arsenal fans. In the quarrel and abuse, the fan organization was also divided into two factions, and they started fighting with completely opposite views.

One side thinks: "Xia Chuang is about to end, and the team hasn't made any signings yet. Kroenke and Usmanov can leave together!"

The other side thinks: "No matter how bad Arsenal's current lineup is, they shouldn't lose to the relegation team. The head coach Wenger should get out!"

"The professor has worked hard for Arsenal for 16 years and brought three Premier League titles. Without Wenger, would Arsenal be where it is today?"

"Three championships can lie on the credit book and eat the money? Be sober, we haven't won the Premier League championship for 3 years."

"..."

The two sides choked each other to the death, and dedicated a wonderful infighting drama to the fans of the other team, especially the hostile fans. They were happier than watching Arsenal lose. Pull banners over the stadium in protest.

The pressure from public opinion and fans made it impossible for Arsenal executives to remain silent. The next day, they urgently convened a board of directors regarding a series of recent emergencies.

The two major shareholders, Usmanov and Kroenke, sat on both sides of the conference table. Obviously, whether it was the captain who refused to renew his contract and was about to leave the team, or the relegation team rubbing against the ground in the first game, or the fans I don't care about bad things like large-scale riots that have a bad impact on the club.

What they care about is whether they can put all their eggs in one basket and play each other to death today, and their own family dominates.

However, in the end, neither of them played to death, but were tied together, and were played to death by a stunned young man who didn't know where!

Just when the board meeting was about to start, the two heavy doors of the conference room were pushed open from the outside. Kroenke and Usmanov raised their heads at the same time, looking at the door with great excitement.

It seems that the two gates are actually a curtain, and the moment they are opened is a wonderful business war drama.

Sure enough, the people who walked in from the outside did not disappoint them, and gave them a bigger surprise or shock without distinction!

The pride and arrogance that could not be concealed instantly froze on his face. There were three men standing at the door, none of whom knew each other.

How dare someone come to the board of directors of the Arsenal club to make trouble? ? ?

Usmanov stared angrily at the person who came, who the hell dared to spoil his good deed at this time? ? ?

"Sorry, as the largest shareholder of Arsenal Club, I was late for the first board meeting, but luckily I was not late."

"???"

Kroenke wondered if he had an auditory hallucination. He subconsciously glanced around, trying to find a consensus from other people's faces.However, he found that except for the deadly enemy sitting across from him, everyone else looked indifferent.

This is hell in broad daylight, how dare someone go to the board and claim to be Arsenal's largest shareholder? ? ?

He turned his gaze to the door again, and found that those people had already walked to the conference table.

The one who spoke was the young man at the head, who looked only 24 or [-] years old. He had a yellow-skinned and black-haired oriental face, but he had a pair of blue eyes.

He squinted his eyes halfway and looked down at everyone. Although he was not strong, he was tall enough. There was a sharp edge between his brows, and he felt full of oppression.

"I almost forgot to introduce myself, my name is Ling Yun, and I'm from China."
