Strong Waist

On May 25, fans wearing Arsenal jerseys could be seen everywhere in London.

They are either alone or in groups of people, forming a huge flow of people heading towards a certain place.

The sun is shining brightly on this day.

London hasn't had such good weather for a long time, but today the weather is beautiful and everything is so bright.

At the famous Emirates Stadium, the advertising screen at the entrance has been replaced.

Instead, there was the figure of an old man raising his arms and shouting.

Wearing a suit and leather tie and his iconic red tie, Wenger appeared on the big screen.

And at the bottom is this paragraph.

'Hello! Arsene Wenger! ’

'goodbye! Arsene Wenger! ’

Every fan who is about to enter the stadium will glance at the big screen, and their eyes are full of reluctance.

They know very well that saying goodbye this time is really goodbye!

20 years of persistence, 20 years of dedication.

Wenger is more than just a manager to Arsenal.

Wenger is Arsenal!

Arsenal is Wenger!

All these things that have become habitual for a long time will come to an end today!

"Hasn't the retirement ceremony already been held?"

Wenger is sitting in the dressing room.

In front of him stood David Dein, Martin Ness and other senior Arsenal officials, with Lucky standing aside as a player representative.

At this time, Wenger seemed a little nervous, licking his lips from time to time, his legs shaking unnaturally, and looking at the door from time to time.

Everyone looked at Wenger's scene and couldn't help but feel extremely funny.

Wenger, who was calm and composed on the stage of the Champions League final, was so nervous at his retirement ceremony.

David Dein laughed; "You should say goodbye to the fans properly. The last game of the season doesn't count. He didn't even talk to them."

Wenger grinned and said, "I hate this, can't you just let me go?"

David Dein shrugged; "If I let you leave like this, the headline tomorrow is probably that Arsenal will not hold a retirement ceremony for the meritorious coach."

Hearing this, Wenger sighed.

Now that it came to this, he had no choice.

Moreover, people are already here and there is no way to run away.

"What process?"

Wenger asked.

"The process is not complicated, just be obedient."

Lucky stood in the corner, looking at Wenger's nervous look with a smile, and couldn't help laughing.

"It's time to show up!"

The staff knocked on the door and walked in to announce.

Lucky nodded towards the other party and said, "Professor, it's time to go!"

Wenger took a few deep breaths, stood up suddenly, and walked out of the locker room first.

Lucky and others also followed closely.

Wow!

Earth-shaking cheers.

The entire Emirates Stadium seemed to be overturned.

The Emirates Stadium was packed at the moment, and even outside the stadium there were a large number of Arsenal fans.

These people came to see Wenger off and there was no way they could miss this moment.

The cheers at the scene lasted for a long time, and the waves of anger hit the stadium.

Wenger responded by raising his hands and applauding.

Under close observation, Lucai saw tears beginning to flash in Wenger's eyes.

Obviously, parting is always sad.

Wenger, Lucky, David Dein, Martin Hughes, Patrice and others stood in a row.

The fans at the scene kept shouting "Wenger"'s name.

The cheers of 60,000 people filled the stadium.

A large number of TIFOs and banners were raised in the stands on all sides.

"goodbye! Wenger! 》

"Good journey! Wenger! 》

"Thank you for your contribution to Arsenal! 》

"we will miss you! 》

Arsenal fans bid farewell to Arsene Wenger with the hottest emotions and bid farewell to the meritorious coach who has been coaching the club for 20 years.

The cheers came one after another.

A staff member handed the microphone to Lucai. Lucai adjusted it slightly and then said loudly:

"It's an honor to have this job..."

The scene gradually became quiet, and all the fans were looking at Lucky.

Lucky walked up to Wenger and said into the microphone: "In the past 20 years, the name Arsene Wenger has become a representative symbol of Arsenal! There is no doubt that anyone who mentions Arsenal You can’t avoid this name! Because he is Arsene Wenger!”

A relieved smile appeared on Wenger's face.

The scene also burst into applause.

Lucky continued; "20 years of persistence! 20 years of dedication! He helped us win 22 trophies. These heavy trophies tell us how hard he has worked for this!"

"A Frenchman came to London in 1996. At that time, the fledgling Frenchman wanted to lead Arsenal to glory with his passion! But what was waiting for him was 'Arsene...what?'"

The player is wearing an Everton jersey and has a huge build.

Seeing this player, Arsenal's senior management was also slightly stunned.

Martinez was even more surprised: "Everton's Lukaku? This... I admit that he is an excellent player, but is he really qualified for this job?"

Lukaku is a very strange player.

Although he obviously has a strong body, he resists physical confrontation and always wants to use speed or skills to overcome others.

It even has the silly name of the combination of "one high and one fast".

Lukaku, who is 191 centimeters tall and weighs 103 kilograms, should be the 'tall' one, but unfortunately, he is the 'fast' one.

Even at Everton, he didn't change the problem.

So, can Mourinho really change Lukaku?

Regarding this issue, Mourinho said with a smile; "It's not me who makes the changes, but the team who makes him make changes. I said that Kai is a magical player who can always be surrounded by a group of people who want to compete for him. Championship player, so Kai will change him!"

"But he won't be cheap, right?" David Dein said: "We can't spend all of Suarez's transfer fee on him. One is the Premier League Golden Boot, and the other... you know what I mean!"

Mourinho nodded and said; "I know, so my bottom line is 50 million euros. At the same time, I will contact Lukaku. I believe he also hopes to join a more competitive team!"

David Dane nodded and said, "Where's the defense?"

This is the most critical question.

Arsenal's poor defense has always been a criticism.

Mourinho, who pays the most attention to defense, will obviously make adjustments to this.

"My original plan was Kerry from Atletico Madrid. This is Kerry's national team teammate, and his ability is obvious to all. However, Atletico Madrid obviously had no intention of letting him go, so we settled for the next best option. Our goal was Jimenez. !”

"That Uruguayan player?" an executive frowned; "He is a substitute at Atletico Madrid, and he is easily injured!"

Mourinho nodded and said; "Atletico Madrid's style determines the way they play, so it is easy to cause injuries, but we are different. Arsenal has a strong midfield defensive line, which can provide protection for Jimenez. Moreover, Jimenez’s attacking ability and speed advantage can give the defense line enough buffer space and combat effectiveness!”

"And he's cheap!"

In the German transfer market, Jimenez is worth 20 million euros this season. This is a good opportunity to win this player.

Hearing this, everyone nodded.

"There are also full-backs. There are currently no good options. We still need to observe and see if there are better players entering the transfer market. We need players who have defensive stability and can participate in the offense. , Bellerin is a good choice, but he still needs to grow!"

"The next step is rotation and substitute lineup..."

The meeting lasted for three hours, and everyone was concentrating on the discussion.

Salary and financial expenditure issues have also entered the discussion.

Although Mourinho has not yet obtained the transfer rights and is still within the scope of an inspection period, they can feel that Mourinho is really serious about building the team's lineup.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the meeting ended.

Dismiss everyone!

Arteta touched his belly and said, "Sir, it's time for us to eat something!"

Mourinho shook his head and said, "I'm not hungry yet. You go to eat first. After eating, we will go out."

The big boss didn't want to eat, so he had no idea.

"Then let's go directly. Actually, I'm not particularly hungry!"

Arteta said.

Mourinho nodded, turned to ask; "Is Kai still in London?"

Hearing this, Arteta said: "During the holidays, he will train alone most of the time. He almost never goes on vacation. I feel that he should still be in London. Let's go and see?"

Mourinho said: "Okay, it's time for us to visit the captain."

Whether Mourinho can integrate into the team is the most critical issue.

Only with the support of Lucky can Mourinho's plan be carried out smoothly!
