Strong Waist

Colney training ground.

Mourinho has entered office mode and he has completed the formation of the coaching staff.

Except for Arteta, the entire coaching staff is an old team that Mourinho worked with before.

Martinez knocked on the door and walked into Mourinho's office.

"Lukaku's agent contacted us and said they would put pressure on the club and try to reduce the transfer fee!"

Martinez added; "Lukaku has a strong desire to join!"

Mourinho nodded and said: "Lukaku knows very well that Arsenal is likely to be his important opportunity, or even his only opportunity, on the road to the championship, so he wants to seize this opportunity."

Martinez nodded and said immediately; "But our transfer cost will be higher, and we probably won't be able to get 50 million!"

Mourinho pondered for a moment and said: "The floating space is controlled within 5 million. If there is more, I will replace him with someone else."

"Understood!" Martinez nodded and walked out immediately.

Mourinho waited for the opponent to walk out and then stretched.

"Sure enough, it would be much more comfortable to work with people who understand football."

Mourinho smiled.

There was no nonsense in the communication between him and Martinez, and the only reference was the transfer issue.

Unlike when he was at Manchester United, there were too many things involved in the transfer.

The player’s own traffic, fame, market, etc.

Mourinho even suspected that Manchester United was not looking for players, but celebrities.

Arteta had been sitting next to him. He answered the phone and said, "There is news from Atletico Madrid. They have agreed to complete the transfer of Jimenez for 22 million euros!"

Hearing this, Mourinho couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief and said with a smile: "The first puzzle has been completed!"

"By the way, Kai, it seems like he hasn't been to the club for a long time!"

Mourinho asked suddenly.

Arteta: "Kai has returned to China. After all, it is a holiday. After playing for a whole season, it is time to go back."

Mourinho nodded and said, "Just wait until we return to the team during the training camp. Let's start with the transfer issue. How is the overall situation?"

Arteta; "Except for Lukaku, everything else went smoothly."

"Where's Mahrez?" Mourinho asked.

Arteta sighed: "Mahrez prefers Manchester City. I don't know what Guardiola said to him or what promises he fulfilled. They have basically finalized it now."

Mourinho shook his head regretfully.

Scotland's largest city, Glasgow.

This is a city located in western Scotland, at the mouth of the River Clyde.

The entire city has a population of 2.3 million, accounting for 41% of the entire Scotland.

On the dock at the mouth of the Glasgow River, a young man wearing a work cap and a waterproof jumpsuit was struggling to push a cart filled with various fish.

"Give way! Give way!"

Under the clear voice of the young man, his steps were extremely nimble. He pushed the cart among the crowd and moved among them with great agility.

Finally, the young man came to a stall.

"The goods have arrived, 500 pounds, pay now!" The young man smiled and stretched out his hand.

The boss in front of the stall smiled and took out the money from his pocket and said, "Little Robertson, you should go into business, you will become a successful businessman!"

Robertson shrugged; "I'm only interested in football!"

The boss paid and Robertson poured the fish in front of the stall.

The boss waved his fist and said, "Work hard next season! Try to join a wealthy club!"

"Hey! Just look!" Robertson grinned and left with brisk steps.

Andrew Robertson, a full-back player for Hull City.

Robertson Sr. was doing fishing. Although Robertson Jr.'s salary was enough for them to live on, they still did not give up their jobs.

And Robertson Jr. also returned home to help during the holidays.

"Dad, the total is 500 pounds. I made a lot of money today!"

Robertson smiled at a bearded, rugged, fat man.

Old Robertson took the money and said, "You should go to training, not move goods here!"

Robertson shrugged: "This is also training! You don't understand!"

Old Robertson shook his head and said, "Let's go home. Mom made fish soup!"

“I like fish soup the best!”

After that, the father and son left the port side by side.

In a warm house, Robertson had just walked out of the shower when he noticed the delicious smell of fish soup.

Robertson walked over to the television and turned it on.

"Transfer news, Arsenal are negotiating with Everton about Lukaku's joining. The two sides are currently making good progress. We are likely to see Lukaku wearing a Gunners jersey next season!"

"Mahrez is infinitely close to Manchester City, Guardiola becomes the biggest contributor"

'Chelsea are in contact'

Looking at the phone, Robertson whispered; "It's all transfer news from wealthy clubs."

After a pause, he added: "So how do the players who received the notice feel? What is it like to play in a wealthy club?"

Robertson was a player who made his debut at Queens Rangers Park. He later moved to the English Championship team Dundee United and joined Hull City in 2014.

Although Robertson has a high starting point, his performance so far has not been favored by the wealthy.

For all players, the wealthy are unstoppable.

Not only those high salaries, but also honors and competitiveness.

For Robertson, his most memorable season was the 2014-2015 season.

That time when they faced Arsenal, the feeling of powerlessness in his heart almost made him go crazy.

At the same time, Arsenal's performance in the Champions League surprised him even more.

At that time, he was thinking about what it would be like to play with such a team.

But for most players, a wealthy club is an unthinkable place.

The rich are there!

His threshold is right there, but there are only a few people who can join it.

Robertson doesn't think he will be the lucky one. He will be more like most people, playing working games in civilian teams. His entire career cannot be called brilliant, but it is not ugly either.

"Andrew, it's time to eat!"

Suddenly, my mother's voice came from the kitchen.

Robertson turned off the TV and shouted; "Here we come!"

In the evening, the family was sitting at the dining table having dinner.

"Did the club say it would give you a salary increase? Your performance last season was very good, and Roddy said it would give you a higher salary." Old Robertson said.

Robertson smiled bitterly and said: "How can there be such an honor? The club's financial situation is not good recently. It is impossible for them to give me a salary increase. It would be great if they don't sell me!"

Old Robertson sighed; "So, it is better for a wealthy team to not just buy the main players casually!"

Robertson; "How can a wealthy club be so easy to join! I have thought about it. If the overall situation of the club is still the same this season, then I will seek a transfer next season."

"It's time to go!"

Winter winter winter!

There was a fierce knock on the door.

All three were shocked.

Robertson's mother sighed; "Rody is always so frizzy!"

Roddy is Robinson's uncle and his agent.

"I'll open the door!"

Robertson stood up and walked to the door to open it.

As soon as the door was opened, a figure rushed in.

This was a tall man. His hands were tightly holding Robertson's shoulders, his breathing was extremely rapid, and his whole face was red from holding back.

He just stared at Robertson.

Old Robertson frowned and stood up, shouting: "Rody, what are you doing?"

Rody looked away, looked at Robertson Sr., then pointed at Robertson, and immediately his whole body began to tremble.

He knelt directly on the ground, raised his hands in the air, and said with fanaticism;

"I can't believe it, Andrew Andrew"

"What's wrong with Andrew?" Robertson's mother asked with worry on her face.

At this time, Roddy shouted excitedly with a trembling voice; "Andrew is going to the Emirates Stadium! -"

The whole room suddenly became quiet.

Robertson himself stood directly in front of the wall, his mouth slightly raised, his eyes full of disbelief;

"Where am I going?"

Robertson's voice trembled.

Rody stood up, grabbed the opponent's shoulders and shouted loudly: "Boy! You are going to join a wealthy club!

Arsenal has made you an offer, and Hull City has also agreed to the offer. You can report directly to the Colney training base before the game!

"

"God!

You get to play with stars like Kay, Wilshere, and Aubameyang!

This is simply awesome!
