Chapter 21 Cazorla Fund

After Arsenal's fifth-round victory, the 'Cazorla Fund' became a hot topic.

In order to better improve the club system and provide some comfort and financial support to players suffering from injuries, this fund will play an important role in the process.

Fans take the initiative and clubs can set up this fund for players.

Although the name is Cazorla Fund, it does not mean that it is only applicable to Cazorla.

All Arsenal players who suffer from major injuries can apply for the right to use this fund, which also provides a guarantee for the players' subsequent treatment.

The club also attaches great importance to this, and even led the creation of a fund under the leadership of owner Usmanov.

Finally, after many discussions, the fund was officially established and named ‘Cazorla Fund’.

It is jointly supervised by three parties.

They are the club president (representing the club), team captain (representing the players), and fan representative (representing the fans).

The three first supervisors for this purpose are Usmanov, Lucky and Billy!

The reason why Billy can become a fan representative is because of the character of this guy.

This is a die-hard Arsenal fan and an outspoken one who, despite loving wine, has never had some poor record of breaking the law or even being disciplinary.

The most important thing is that Billy is very popular among the fans, and the fans all trust Billy to take on this job.

After its establishment, the main income will be invested in three aspects.

First: 1% of the club’s total revenue!

Second: 5% of the players’ bonuses!

Third: Fundraising from fans!

In the Arsenal dressing room, Lucky stood in the middle and briefly explained the investment method of this fund to everyone.

"That's the way it is, I hope everyone will participate, this fund is not protecting Cazorla alone, but protecting all of us!"

Lucky looked at everyone and said sincerely: "As players, our biggest enemy is injuries. Who can guarantee that we will never enter the injury period, and in the kind of serious injuries, especially those that can ruin a career?" Amid injuries, we need to invest a lot of money and contribute our own efforts to ensure the operation of the fund and protect our future. "

"Of course, this is not mandatory. You can participate whether you want to or not. Even if you don't participate, you can still get the right to use this fund. After all, this is a public welfare fund, as long as you are still a shooter."

Cazorla is their teammate, and they are extremely sympathetic to Cazorla's injury, and as Lucky said, this is a fund that benefits them.

Besides, their salary is not touched, but a part is deducted from the bonus, which is not a big problem compared to their income.

It is a good thing not to use this fund in your life.

This fund is also a guarantee in the event of a career-threatening injury.

Why not do it?

The old players raised their hands, but Lucky looked at the new players.

They have never interacted with Cazorla, so they don't have much sense of identity.

And they always feel like they can’t use the fund.

If you have money, it's better to keep it in your pocket.

However, Lucai's interpretation was somewhat double-standard.

It doesn’t matter if you donate or not, you can use it anyway.

But the question is, can you survive at Arsenal if you don't donate?

This is not only a simple loss of Lucky's face, but also destroys the integrity.

I donated it, but I was a little reluctant to part with it!

If you don’t donate, you will definitely be isolated!

Thinking of this, the new players also raised their hands.

Everyone raised their hands in agreement, and Lucai showed a bright smile and said, "Very good! I know you guys are very caring!"

Some laughed happily, while others shook their heads and smiled bitterly.

But Lucai didn't care about this and turned around and came to the office to report.

As soon as Lucky walked into Patrice's office, he saw his boss Usmanov was there.

"Hey! Captain!"

Usmanov waved to Lucky with a smile on his face, making his fat face smile.

On the other hand, Patrice looked sad.

Lucky glanced at the expressions of the two and said, "The players all agree with the establishment of this fund!"

"very good!"

Usmanov slapped his thigh and said, "I knew it was okay!"

This is the first system he has implemented at the club, and it is such a meaningful thing, which makes him quite satisfied.

Lucky glanced at Patras and the pile of information on the table.

Usmanov also noticed Lucky's gaze and couldn't help but said enthusiastically, "Kay! This is some player information I asked the staff to compile."

"Staff group?" Le Kai was confused.

Usmanov nodded and said; "I hired a group of excellent football analysts with high salary, and they looked for players suitable for Arsenal, and they gave many suitable candidates."

Lucky frowned.

Arsenal's transfer power has always been in the hands of Wenger. He is Arsenal's 'manager' and also holds the transfer power.

In charge of competitions and transfer matters.

The club is more responsible for economic matters.

But now Usmanov has reached out to transfers.

Lucky didn't think this was a random question raised by the other party.

Wenger was recuperating, and Usmanov came up with such a trick. Whether it was timing or other aspects, it gave people a fishy feeling.

Lucky finally understood why Patrice was frowning.

He felt that Wenger was about to lose his transfer power.

Lucky asked calmly, "Who do you want to sell to?"

Usmanov said with an air of dignity; "How is Neymar?"

Cough cough cough!

!

Lucky coughed violently, this was going to make him crazy.

"Paris is fighting for him, and we can step in."

Lucky and Patrice said directly:

"no!"

Usmanov was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, "Give me a reason."

Patrice glanced at Lucky, told him to shut up, and then said, "The club's financial situation does not allow it!"

"I'll pay for it!" Usmanov said, patting his chest.

Since winning the Champions League, this guy has become somewhat addicted.

"This is also spending the club's money!" Patrice shook his head; "The boss pays and the club is in debt. Don't forget that we also have a loan for the stadium. We cannot overdraw the future and let the club fall into an unhealthy operating state. Once problems occur, , could be disastrous!”

How many teams have had no choice but to go bankrupt due to team financial problems. Some have found new owners to take over, and some have directly declared bankruptcy and disbanded.

For a club, it must be self-sufficient, and the boss alone cannot make it work.

After seemingly a short period of strength, the building will eventually collapse.

After Patrice finished speaking, Usmanov turned to look at Lucky, who lowered his head and said nothing.

Usmanov suddenly laughed and said: "I just want to make a suggestion, okay, forget it, I will continue to prepare the fund."

With that, Usmanov left.

Lucky and Patrice breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

"He did it on purpose!"

Lucky pulled out a chair and sat across from Patrice.

Patrice nodded with a sad look on his face and said, "He wants the transfer rights!"

After saying that, he suddenly slapped his mouth and said: "Crow's Mouth! This guy really wants to be the second Moratti?"

Le Kai said quietly: "Moratti can voluntarily give up the matter of re-election as chairman for the sake of the club, but he"

Patrice grinned; "He wouldn't do that!"

"So?" Lucai said solemnly; "What should we do?"

Patrice thought for a moment and said, "Usmanov now holds 49% of Arsenal's shares!"

Lucky was stunned for a moment and said, "Isn't it 72%?"

Patrice rolled his eyes and said, "The deal hasn't been completed yet. This guy proposed this in order to attack Kroenke!"

"However, 49% is still the largest shareholder of Arsenal, and he is also the executive chairman of Arsenal!"

Lucai said: "Then integrate the other 51% of shareholders to suppress him!"

Patrice smiled bitterly; "It's not that easy! But we do need someone who can check and balance Usmanov. This guy is too idle. We have to find something for him to do!"

"for example?"

Patrice; "Find him a rival!"
