[Football] The transfer fee is 10 billion

Alonso watched his back disappear behind the door, turned his head and thought for a moment, then touched Wangcai's head next to him, and returned to his room.

When he changed his clothes and was about to go out for a walk with the dog, Ling Yun was surprised to find that the person who said he was going to recharge his batteries and prepare to return to the national team tomorrow morning stood at the entrance one step earlier than him, holding a leash in his hand.

Wangcai stood not far away tangled, although he really wanted to go out and play, but he was still wary of the people in front of him.

"Let's go."

Ling Yun looked at him suspiciously: "Don't you want to rest?"

"I thought about it, and I should have a good relationship with my new roommate, lest I come back in two weeks and forget about me."

The two went downstairs and came to the lawn where Ling Yun usually walked the dog. He untied the leash and let the dog move freely on the grass. The strong body of the German Shepherd ran up and down a few times under the moonlight, and it was gone. son.

The dog ran away, and the two of them walked casually along the side path.

The inner side of this path is a lawn, and the outside is the artificial lake in the community. The silver moonlight covers the entire lake, and there is an oak forest not far away. It seemed even quieter below.

Ling Yun is a workaholic, and he doesn't have so many romances in his mind. If the two of them have to talk about something at this time, the only topic he can think of is about the team: "That night in the coach's office, I actually wanted to recommend you to be Captain of Arsenal."

"Well, I know." Alonso's tone was still calm, "but it's not appropriate to do this, after all, I just came to Arsenal."

This is indeed a problem, not only unacceptable to Wenger, but also unacceptable to any club's head coach.

But Ling Yun also had his own considerations in recommending him to Wenger as Arsenal captain: "You were only 19 years old when you became the captain of Real Sociedad, and you had just been promoted to the first team."

Referring to the past when he was young and frivolous, Alonso showed a shy smile on his face: "At that time, I was young, ignorant, and thought I was omnipotent. The Royal Society has a very special meaning to me and my family. I At that time, I wanted to bring back a La Liga championship for the team, and since no one was willing to take on this important task, I told our head coach to let me try."

These words made Ling Yun feel a little uncomfortable, but he couldn't explain why, thinking that his feeling was unreasonable, so he could only focus on the question itself: "In fact, you You did a good job, the team successfully avoided relegation, and won the second place in La Liga in the second year. You are a natural leader."

"But it is always my regret not being able to help Real Sociedad win the championship. Even though I won the La Liga championship in Real Madrid last season, the feeling is always different."

"I think if the coach can hand over the captain's armband to you, you will definitely be able to take on this burden. Arsenal will become your responsibility. You will not be like them. You have more resources and you want to get more. A lot, and then the idea of ​​leaving, and leaving without saying a word.”

Although everything Ling Yun said could not be realized in a short period of time, Alonso admitted that his guess was correct.

He is the kind of person who will never shirk when he takes responsibility: "I think, I will."

Ling Yun turned his head, his eyes sparkled with hope, as if the stars in the sky had fallen into his eyes, and the beauty was like an illusion: "So, I want you to be our captain, the real leader on and off the field. I believe You, you can definitely make this Arsenal better. At the same time, you have to believe me, in the process, you will also get what you dream of."

It's a good feeling to be trusted unconditionally, especially if that person is his own boss, and the dream things he said are what Alonso has been asking for in the past years.

For Alonso, Arsenal is just a new journey in his career. The importance in his heart is far less than that of Real Sociedad, and it cannot be compared with Liverpool and Real Madrid.

If it is said that Toshack, the then coach of Real Sociedad, recalled him from Eibar in advance and handed him the captain's armband, in addition to believing in his ability, there is also a part of his father's reason.

His father, Perico Alonso, is a star of the Real Sociedad club. He has helped Real Sociedad reach the top of La Liga twice and has also coached this team.

But Ling Yun didn't trust him for any other reason, just because he was Harvey Alonso, who gave him all the trust and support without reservation for convenience.

It's hard not to be moved. He looked at the boss beside him with a particularly sincere look and eyes, and he actually had a little idea in his heart to put Arsenal in the same important position as Real Sociedad.

Ling Yun didn't realize that he had such a rich inner world, and still said to himself: "Actually, after you came to Arsenal, we should have expected that Arteta may not have many chances to start, so he took The captain's armband will not appear on the field for a long time, I am a little worried, will this affect his prestige as the captain in the hearts of the players?"

Alonso held the leash in one hand and put the other hand in the pocket of his shorts. He looked casual and comfortable like a mature man: "Don't worry, I must be the one standing behind him, supporting him unconditionally." His team."

"Why?" Ling Yun had long felt that the relationship between the two of them was unusual, so he just took this opportunity to satisfy his curiosity.

"We've known each other since we were eight years old and became best friends because of football. We played together in the Shell Beach team and grew up together. Then he went to La Masia and I followed my brother to Real Sociedad, but it didn't matter. Nothing stands in the way of my friendship with him, and we will be best friends for life."

Speaking of this, Alonso turned his head away and smiled where Ling Yun couldn't see. He still had a little secret hidden in his heart and didn't say it out.

In fact, before he arrived in London, his lifelong friend made him a room in his own house, which was really convenient for the Emirates Stadium and Kearney training ground.

And he finally chose to live in West London.

Ling Yun didn't notice his little movement of turning his head, because a shocking expression just appeared in his heart.

He had clearly felt that the relationship between Alonso and Arteta was extraordinary, especially during training or rest, the two always stayed together intentionally or unintentionally, and even had to sit next to each other when eating. I only thought that this friendship was established in the Spanish national team, and I was curious about what kind of opportunity made them so close.

Unexpectedly, these two people turned out to be childhood sweethearts and grew up together! ! !

Ling Yun suddenly showed a joyful expression, and smiled a little disregarding his image at night: "That would be great, I knew it would be like this, I don't think it doesn't matter if you become the captain of Arsenal, just like you will stand on his side If you support him unconditionally behind you, he will definitely give you the greatest support on and off the court."

???

What about the agreed unconditional trust and support from the boss? ? ?

The person next to him showed an expression that the doubts that had plagued him for a long time were finally solved, and suddenly stretched his arms and stretched his body: "This day is too tired, today's dog walking time is halved, go back to sleep early!"

However, the person who played next to him for 10 minutes has not complained of being tired. How dare he, who is sitting in the box watching the game, shout tired? ? ?

Ling Yun thought of his suitcase with only a few clothes.At that time, I only thought that the other party was eager to join Arsenal, and he came in a hurry and had no time to pack his luggage.

Boss Xiao Ling suddenly realized now that he had clearly calculated that he would only stay in England for a few nights.

Alonso called back Wangcai, tied him a leash, controlled the length, and kept him at a distance not far from his side. He didn't let his boss do anything from the beginning to the end. It was like helping the boss walk his dog for 11 yuan Terms of Reference for GBP Weekly Salaries.

Taking advantage of the international competition day, Ling Yun also took a short vacation for himself, and planned to stay at home for two days to watch the football and tease the dog. Forced him to wake up on time at eight o'clock, then lay on the sofa, stroking the dog's head next to him with one hand, and playing with the phone with the other.

The game last night caused heated discussions on the Internet again. Many people who were not optimistic about Arsenal before the game were slapped in the face. They became angry and immediately arranged the meeting room for Manchester City. They began to hold a meeting for Manchester City's oil daddy. They only know how to spend money and don't know how to play football, and they haven't been able to win a Champions League until now.

"Arsenal's signings this year really make people envious and jealous. It is said that Hazard scratched the lottery. Is his face swollen?"

"Yes, yes, there is also Alonso. He said before that he has passed his peak, and defense can only rely on fouls. Open your dog eyes and take a good look. Alonso's defense against Aguero should not be too clean and beautiful. , where did the foul come from?"

"Wenger is still awesome. He has a vicious eye for people and is good at cultivating youth training. I feel that Arsenal will take off again this season."

"Is it because Wenger's vision is poisonous? These people were obviously bought back by Ling Yun. Didn't Kroenke and his son ask their mouthpieces to issue a draft scolding the Chinese for arbitrariness?"

"Although Ling Yun bought these people back, before he came to Arsenal, Wenger had already contacted these people. Isn't it because of Wenger's attention that Ling Yun bought them back?"

"What's the rush? The league has only played three rounds. Arsenal isn't as fierce as a tiger at the beginning of the season. Just wait, you will know what a cliff-like decline is when the Christmas schedule is reached. It's not a year or two."

"I agree with the above, but I am not optimistic about Arsenal winning the championship this season. Their injury wave is too terrifying, and the veterinary team is even more terrifying."

"..."

Face slapping is very cool to read two posts, but it’s the same thing if you read too much. Everyone argues and argues because they have different positions. People who support it scold those who oppose it sourly, and those who oppose it scold those who support it. What to pull, I can't tell the reason except for meaningless talk, and I feel a little boring after watching too much.

Within two days, Ling Yun couldn't stay at home anymore, and finally made it back to Kearney's training ground. Facing the deserted first-team training ground, he started his heavy work as the club's CEO.

Although the work is cumbersome, he has a large and well-trained team with clear division of labor. As a decision maker, he does not have to do many things himself, but he found that not all employees have super high obedience, at least everyone has With their own thoughts and judgments, some people are a little bit dissatisfied with him, the new president who has been in office for less than a month.

Negotiations with Nike still haven't made any progress. The other party insists that they can only give a sponsorship fee of 2000 million pounds per year, but Ling Yun thinks that this price is really dishonest. Arsenal's finances are not as tight as they were a few years ago. Necessary to sign this unequal treaty.

Renewal negotiations have reached an impasse, and it looks like there is one year left on the contract, and they still have time to conduct many rounds of negotiations until they reach an agreement or terminate the contract.

But in fact, Nike is more anxious than Arsenal, because they know that with Arsenal's status in the Premier League, the number of TV broadcasts and the number of fans around the world, after the termination of the contract, there are many sponsors who provide them with new contracts. But in the past ten years, It feels so good to spend a small amount of money to gain a big advantage. Based on the principle that if you don't take advantage, you will suffer a loss. They think that it is really unacceptable to suddenly increase the sponsorship fee to the normal level.

Anyway, no matter who is in a hurry, Ling Yun is not in a hurry. Without Nike, the sponsoring father, there are Puma, Adidas and well-known sports brands from various countries waiting in line for Arsenal's favor. Even if they lower their value, they will not be cheap this time. .

After the international match day, the players returned to the Kearney training base one after another.

The last match in Spain was held at night. Ling Yun originally thought that Alonso would come back the next day, but just as he was about to go to sleep, the fingerprint lock at home beeped twice, and then he came from the outside Open.

He glanced at the wall clock on the wall, and it was almost twelve o'clock in the evening, and someone who had just finished playing the game came back wearing stars and moons.

This is probably because there is really no place to live in Madrid.

Hearing the movement, Wangcai and Ling Yun went to the door together. Alonso was still wearing the uniform of the Spanish national team and had a backpack on one shoulder. It looked as if he rushed back after the game.

When he closed the door and turned around, he happened to see Ling Yun and Wangcai standing beside him, and asked a little apologetically, "Did I wake you up?"

"No, I haven't slept yet." Ling Yun scratched his hair casually, "I thought you would come back tomorrow."

Alonso said lightly: "Usually there is nothing else after the game. I am used to going home as soon as possible."

The man who is a good man at home is set up firmly. The domineering president on the opposite side expressed noncommittal about this, yawned and turned to go to his room: "Okay, then go to bed early, good night."

Alonso raised his eyelids behind him and glanced at him lightly, and replied, "Good night."

After the international match day, Arsenal entered a week of double matches or even three matches. They will play away games against Liverpool and Chelsea in the league within half a month. Champions Montpellier, before that, the first thing they have to prepare for is the home game against Southampton.

Ling Yun likes to stay on the sidelines to watch the players' training, and the players also like him to watch the games beside him. After all, not every club owner is as eye-catching as the one in front of him. Taking a look at him after training is also a kind of Relax.

The most active among them is Hazard, who has the closest relationship with Ling Yun. Belgian boys would come to chat with their boss whenever they have time.

Ling Yun regards him as a mischievous little brother, cute and annoying, but his attitude towards him is very conniving, the only requirement is to show his due performance on the field.

Hazard can always put on an expression of "scholars die for their confidantes". Even in the group confrontation during training, he can fight with his life. Seeing Ling Yun's heart palpitations, he feels that he has not only spent 4000 million pounds. Well worth the £20-a-week salary before tax.

Several other young players are jealous, always complaining that their boss is eccentric. At this time, Wenger will stand up with a smile and educate the bear children with a parental attitude: "I watched you all Growing up, although Eden and Paul (Pogba) only came to Kearney this summer, the club regards you as their own children, why are you partial?"

In fact, Hazard is the oldest and the strongest among the few players. The others add up, and his worth is incomparable to him. But the Belgian boy has a sunny personality, soft and warm, and he is actually a good player among young players. The one with the least personality.

The tallest one with the most personality, 192 centimeters long, is only 19 years old. He is usually very active, but he just stood aside silently after hearing Wenger's words and fell into deep thought.

Ling Yun noticed Pogba's abnormality, raised his hand and slapped him gently on the arm: "Why are you in a daze, the fitness coach asked you to go to train."

Pogba came back to his senses, nodded awkwardly, and then ran to the assembly point on the other side with long legs.

The atmosphere of the team is very good, and the mental outlook and competitive state of the players have also improved. In recent games, Arsenal has won three consecutive victories in various competitions, and everything is developing in a better direction , Ling Yun was very satisfied with this.

What really upset him was that Arsenal, a huge enterprise with nearly [-] employees, was not of one mind.Among them, the factions were numerous and intricate, and Ling Yun still couldn't figure out who belonged to whom for a while.

However, when these problems are implemented in specific work, he can clearly feel the resistance from all parties.

Although the employees dare not confront the president, there are always such and other situations in the assigned work, which seriously affects the progress. It is impossible for Ling Yun to be responsible for everything by himself, so sometimes he always has a kind of energy Can't make the feeling of key places.

For example, this time he renewed his contract with Nike, he handled it with a negative attitude, and continued to seek cooperation with other brands.The person in charge of this matter actively promoted the negotiation with Nike, and brought him back another ten-year cooperation intention, and hinted to him as if asking for credit, that the club can get [-] million pounds in one go. Sponsorship fees can relieve a lot of financial pressure.

Where does Arsenal have so much financial pressure to ease, these people are all mercenary, what exactly are their plans now Ling Yun has not figured out for a while, but he knows that this group of people is just uneasy and well-intentioned.

Boss Xiao Ling is devastated by these messy things every day, and only sitting in the stands on the game day can make him feel a little more relaxed.

But this kind of relaxation also requires the team to win as a prerequisite, otherwise it will only add trouble to him.

Fortunately, after Arsenal defeated Manchester City in the away game, the morale of the team increased greatly. The players were all high-spirited and full of energy on the training ground. Ling Yun stood by the floor-to-ceiling windows every day and watched them running. target team.

Ling Yun and Wenger often communicate with each other about team affairs. He respects their head coach very much, and he will not make decisions easily, but simply put forward his own ideas.

But there is one thing, he must tell Wenger bluntly and very firmly-their goal this season is definitely not to compete for the fourth, but must be to compete for the championship!What he didn't say is that no matter what the result is, the coach and player Bixu showed the determination to go straight to the championship instead of fighting for the fourth place. It is also acceptable to get a place in the Champions League next season.

Ling Yun is not Kroenke, who can give up the team's performance for the sake of profit, and squeeze out all the value of the club with zero investment.

Champions and interests are inseparable. Without investment, there will be no champions, and without champions, there will be no income.

As for these two, Boss Xiao Ling will not make a choice, he wants them all!

Not only this season, but in the next few seasons, he will have a large investment in the transfer market, which will undoubtedly put huge pressure on the club's finances, and he is also ready to inject capital into the team in the next few years.

After all, Ling Yun is not an oil dad who has trillions of dollars and can squander it at will. He spends money without thinking about returns, and it all depends on his personal preferences and mood.

He hopes that Arsenal can at least be self-sufficient through good business operations, at least he does not need to pay the players' wages out of his own pocket as the boss.

In the fourth round of the league, Arsenal played against Southampton at home.This was originally just a mediocre league, and the Saints (nicknamed Southampton) were not any strong opponents, but the attendance at the Emirates Stadium was unprecedentedly high.

Since the Kroenke father and son raised the ticket price of the Emirates Stadium, the fans, in addition to anger, have protested by refusing to buy new season memberships or going to the scene to watch the game.

Since last season, unless the opponent is a big6 team, the attendance rate of the Emirates Stadium has been declining, and the stands are empty.

Arsenal lost 0-1 at home to Sunderland in the first round of this season's league. The extremely angry fans even left the field halfway. At the end of the game, there were not many home fans left in the stands. Vent your anger with booing.

Arsenal was originally the team with the highest match-day income among the Premier League teams, with a single-day income reaching several million pounds. Many media predicted that according to the situation at the beginning of this season, Arsenal's membership will decrease, tickets will not be sold, and the stadium If the attendance rate is low, the income will only get worse.

But never expected, this is only the second home game, and the fans are back again.
