Chapter 361 Can’t buy a good striker? Professor: There is Sun Ke!
It took Arsenal two seasons to go from being a top-four contender in the Premier League and a stepping stone to a giant in the Champions League knockout rounds, to become a European hegemon.
Moreover, it still has the attitude of swallowing up mountains and rivers and sweeping across Europe.
Before and after the opening of the summer window, the giants across Europe wanted to work together to dismember Arsenal.
Silva and Suarez have always been regarded as inevitable targets by the wealthy clubs.
When Sun Ke's transfer news attracted the attention of the world, many media made predictions.
If Arsenal fails to retain Sun Ke, then Silva and Suarez are likely to leave the team.
It will also be difficult for Song, Sagna and Walcott to stay on the team in the next one or two seasons.
Fortunately, Arsenal successively renewed Sun Ke and Silva, allowing the team to retain its championship team intact.
Even if the team does not introduce players, Arsenal will still be absolutely competitive in the Premier League and Champions League.
Nowadays, European giants all adhere to the same principle. Since they can't poach Arsenal, they can't let them buy players from themselves.
Even if it is a player he does not want, he must not let Wenger patch Arsenal.
It is not an exaggeration to say that Wenger is unique in football in terms of stimulating players' condition.
Players such as Adams, Bergkamp, Vieira and Henry all encountered bottlenecks in their careers before meeting Wenger.
When Wenger first coached Arsenal, he was surprised to find that after every rest day, several Arsenal team backbones always came to the training ground with a hangover.
At that time, the coaching staff had no choice but to ask these players to jog for half an hour to regain their consciousness before they could start training. This was not a special case in the UK at that time.
Adams, who had just turned 30, was the most typical one. The Arsenal captain was already confused about his career and life, and had lost the fun of football.
Bergkamp was trapped in the chain defense of Italian football at Inter Milan. He always had to back up to get the ball and fight defensive players. It was difficult for him to adapt to the boring football style of Serie A. The boss changed every season according to his own interests. The operating preferences of seven or eight players.
Combined with his insurmountable fear of flying, it turned his life into a mess.
When Vieira was playing in Ligue 1, he was placed in the full-back position by the head coach. AC Milan regarded his introduction as a lottery ticket and only gave him two playing opportunities in half a season.
Wenger only spent a down payment of 350 million euros to introduce him, which shows what ecological niche the Arsenal star was in at the time.
When Henry was at Juventus, he not only lost the feeling of scoring goals, but also lost the confidence that a striker should have.
All four players went on to become important members of Arsenal.
This experience can completely prove that Wenger has the magical power to turn decay into magic.
However, past experience pales in comparison to the dazzling operation of introducing Sun Ke.
Two seasons ago, when Wenger introduced Sun Ke for 700 million pounds, the entire English football world was laughing at the professor for using the money to buy Bergkamp to make money in the English League.
As a result, after two seasons, Sun Ke has become the number one player in world football.
This transfer operation is the most amazing operation in football history.
none of them!
Sun Ke seamlessly integrated into the team in his first season, and his performance far exceeded expectations every time.
When everyone felt that letting him play was completely helpless, he performed as a top-notch defensive midfielder in the Premier League.
When his opponents thought he could only steal and take a long shot, he used mid-range passes to activate the team's offense.
Just when everyone thought this kid was good at defense, they were surprised to find that he had become the top four scorers!
He led the British Olympic team to the Olympic title at a time when it was criticized when it was formed.
When some thought he would hit the "rookie wall", he was on full fire from the start of the season, leading Arsenal across Europe.
When everyone was discussing the incompatibility of Germany and Germany and the many problems the England team had to face in the qualifiers, Sun Ke turned the World Cup qualifiers into a game of abuse.
His brilliance completely overshadows the two virtues. Since they are incompatible, I will switch to him.
Sun Ke's performance proves one thing. They are not compatible because they are not good enough. A strong person can be compatible with anyone.
Therefore, during the transfer period this season, European giants have reached a tacit understanding and will never sell players to Arsenal.
The professor had a premonition early on that Arsenal would not be too easy in the transfer market, so he set his target on Dortmund.
So far in the transfer window, Dortmund has lost three main players in succession: Lewandowski, Gotze and Hummels.
Klopp's response was not slow either. They successively signed Mkhitaryan, Aubameyang, Papadopoulos, and also signed Badstuber from Bayern, whom Guardiola disdained.
Seeing Dote's replenishment speed, Sun Ke was convinced.
If there is any club that has not lost to Arsenal in terms of replenishment speed in recent years, it must be Dortmund during the Klopp period.
Let these players adapt for half a season, and even if Dortmund loses the ability to compete with Bayern, it can at least secure the second spot in the Bundesliga.
For a club that often sells important players, such results are not easy.
But their crisis was not over, because Arsenal took action!
Wenger is interested in Dortmund midfielders Reus and Gundogan.
Royce's performance in the Champions League last season was absolutely world-class. If he had not had so many injuries in his career, or could have left Dortmund, Royce's career would definitely have reached a higher level.
In last season's Champions League semi-finals, Royce single-handedly caused misfortune to Arsenal's defense.
He can perform at a first-class level regardless of whether he is a left winger or an attacking midfielder. Although there are hidden dangers of injury, as long as he is not injured, he is a quasi-world-class player.
In fact, Wenger's original plan was to buy another striker to consolidate the team's forward position.
At the end of last season, Giroud was the only one in Arsenal's forward position. Sun Ke, Walcott, Chamberlain and Hot Bird have all played this position.
But there is still a Zhengyin center who is more practical, so Arsenal tried to introduce a center in the transfer market.
Their first target was Higuain, who was sold by Real Madrid. Arsenal made a higher offer than Naples, but as a result, Real Madrid did not negotiate with Arsenal at all.
Higuain also made trouble, but no matter how hard he tried, Real Madrid's attitude was very firm, either leaving or staying in the team as a substitute.
So Higuain had no choice but to move to Naples.
Arsenal also fought for Cavani, but the treatment given by Paris Saint-Germain was too good, and they finally won Cavani.
After that, Arsenal also got another chance.
After Guardiola took charge of Bayern, he asked the club to grab Falcao, who was already preparing to "get a license" with Monaco.
After failing to compete for Lewandowski, Bayern is in desperate need of a world-class striker.
So Bayern succeeded in snatching the bride and won Falcao.
As a result, Bayern had an extra center, so they put Gomez on the shelf.
The 28-year-old Gomez lost his main position last season due to injury, but he was a 40-goal center in the previous two seasons.
Although for Wenger, he may be a bit older.
But what Arsenal want this season is immediate combat ability. The German center has no pressure in the Premier League. He can be a goalkeeper and has the ability to score goals. It is definitely not a loss to buy him.
Although Gomez also has a history of injuries, he and Giroud share playing time at Arsenal, so it is not easy to get injured.
But how could Bayern give Wenger the opportunity to turn decay into magic? It is impossible for Gomez to come to Arsenal.
In the World Cup year, they threaten to either go to Florence or be substituted for Falcao and Mandzukic.
Gomez had no choice but to move to Fiorentina.
Under such circumstances, the professor had a bold idea, pushing Sun Ke to the front line, adding a front midfielder, and then strengthening the back midfielder position.
In fact, Duote is not a supermarket where anyone can buy anything they want.
After all, it is the semi-finals of the Champions League. If there are no super giants or Arsenal, it would be wishful thinking to buy people from here.
At least Manchester City has tried hard, and Dortmund players are not very interested.
So Arsenal began to inquire about Dortmund, and Wenger directly expressed his hope to introduce Reus and Gundogan in the interview.
As a result, the next day, Klopp frowned and said that both players were not for sale.
Just when people thought that these would be two long-lasting transfers that would drain Arsenal's transfer budget, Wenger said calmly in the interview: "We know that Royce has a minimum release clause of 2500 million euros, but if Out of respect for Dortmund, we do not want to conclude a transfer in this way."
The old man's meaning is very simple: Don't be stubborn with me, kid. We can discuss and solve problems if they arise.
So in the afternoon of this day, two world-famous coaches got on the phone.
The professor, who grew up on the German-French border, and Klopp have made good money.
In this way, Sun Ke can basically be sure that he will be pushed to the front line next season.
