Football's hand covers the sky

Chapter 183 The Jersey Number Controversy

Under the introduction of the real estate manager, Li Shou and Sun Yizhen met a well-known designer in England, and this designer was also an Arsenal fan.

Regarding the decoration of the villa, Li Shou had no interest. For him, the main thing was to live there.

Therefore, Li Shou handed over the design of the villa to Sun Yezhen and Samari, and Samari is also very good at being a man. She didn't overwhelm others, and all decisions were based on Sun Yezhen's opinion.

When Sun Yezhen was busy with the renovation of the villa, Li Shouze returned to the Kearney training base. Because of the World Cup, Arsenal did not hold a media meeting for Li Shou, and for the current Li Shou, this was a bit too high-profile, because Li Shou is not yet a superstar. It can only be said that he has just stepped into the ranks of stars.

Li Shou really shocked European football in Monaco last season, but Li Shou is only at the end of the five major leagues after all, and Li Shou also performed well in Ligue [-].

At the same time, Wenger is also protecting Li Shou. Although Wenger knows that Li Shou is different from ordinary players, the record of the uncrowned kings on Fleet Street is too shining.

After much deliberation, Wenger decided to shoot an interview video about the interior of his club, and also sent a few promotional photos by the way.

As for the reason for the delay, it is naturally because of the problem of Li Shou's jersey. To be honest, the biggest problem now is the problem of the jersey.

It is impossible for Ozil to give up the No. 11 jersey, because Wenger's delay is to do Ozil's work, but obviously, the German is not willing to do this.

Why?

He spent 4250 million pounds on Arsenal, converted into a full 5000 million euros. He is the historical champion of the Arsenal club, the only superstar in the Arsenal team, and the real core of the team.

There is a team whose core will give up the number to a newly joined player. Ozil himself did not get his favorite number 10 when he joined Arsenal.

Besides, the jersey number often represents a player's status in the team. If he gave up the number 11, what would the media say and what would the fans think of him.

In fact, it is said that external factors, even Özil's own inner pride, will never allow him to give up the number that appears.

Wenger is now in a dilemma. Li Shou must be No. 11. In order to let Li Shou join the team, the club can only agree first. At the same time, Wenger also thinks that he can persuade Ozil. After all, Ozil is not the kind of thorny player.

But obviously, Ozil doesn't think so. The German midfielder who has been dubbed a "midfield master" by the media is actually quite proud of himself.

Who is Li Shou?A goalkeeper from the football desert, a wild player who only played in Ligue [-] for one season, why?Do you really think you are a superstar like Ronaldo and Messi?

"Li, what special significance does number 11 have for you?" Before Li Shou took a promotional photo, Wenger appeared in front of Li Shou again.

"Yes, but I can't say what it means now," Li Shou said.

"Actually, if that number 11 is unwilling to give up his number, I have a solution," Li Shou said without giving Wenger a chance to speak.

"What method?" From the meeting in South Korea, Wenger discovered that Li Shou has a unique characteristic, that is, his own opinion, and he is extremely independent.

"Let me have a one-on-one match with that No. 11, and use penalty kicks to decide. If he wins, I don't want No. 11, but if I win, then No. 11 must be given to me." This idea Li Shou has long had, but it depends on whether Wenger can succeed.

"Li, this is not conducive to your integration into the team." Wenger frowned.

"This is the only way at present." Li Shou spread his hands.

"But it's not fair to you," Wenger added.

Any fool knows what a penalty kick means to a goalkeeper?

"It's okay, since I want to "snatch" the teammate's jersey, it's okay to suffer a little bit," Li Shou said generously.

"There's no rush. Mesut is going to participate in the World Cup. It's not too late to make a decision when he comes back." Wenger, who had no better way, could only procrastinate.

Unable to continue on this topic, Wenger left, while Li Shouze needed to continue his work. After taking the promotional photos, Li Shou accepted an interview with the Arsenal press officer.

This kind of interview is actually quite simple. The press officer of his own club will definitely not embarrass Li Shou. Many questions are even formulaic and have standard answers.

For example, "I am very happy to join Arsenal, because Arsenal has a great head coach, a group of great players, and the club is very popular around the world. Ha~~~ I can't wait to stand at the Emirates Stadium."

Although formulaic, fans love to hear these words, and now Arsenal continue to use such words to encourage themselves, because Arsenal have been away from the championship for too long.

Arsenal is not a good traditional giant, but Arsenal has the worst background in the traditional giants of the Premier League. It is not even an exaggeration to say that after Chelsea won the Champions League, Arsenal has become the fourth richest in the Premier League.

This is a bit of a match for Arsenal, and the fourth-place maniac is also firmly established. However, Arsenal's fourth place is not stable. Manchester City is catching up. At the same time, another team in North London is slowly rising without knowing it.

This is why Arsenal was so anxious and began to let Wenger get out of class. Arsenal has reached the edge of the cliff. If it does not change, it will really decline.

It was also the pressure inside and outside the club that made Wenger decide to gamble on Li Shou. In fact, Li Shou was right in saying that Wenger had no way out, and if he did, he would be spurned by Arsenal fans.

"As far as we know, both Real Madrid and Barcelona have offered you an olive branch. What made you choose Arsenal" is the last question, and this question is not in the copy of this interview.

"I am a fan of Arsenal. When I was a child, I vaguely witnessed the glory of Highbury. Now Arsenal are in trouble, but I believe that the difficulties are only temporary, so I rejected Real Madrid and Barcelona's choice to join Arsenal, because I want to help Arsenal out of the predicament, and I want the Emirates Stadium to regain the glory of Highbury." Li Shou's answer was impeccable.

However, when the interview was released, Li Shou had already left London, and Shamali could follow up on the villa decoration. Li Shou and Son Yezhen returned to Asia, because Son Yejin would participate in the filming of Infinity Challenge and also had to go to Brazil.
