Smiling Proudly

Chapter 97
"Wang Yi hat-trick helps Arsenal beat Liverpool 4-0"

"Arsenal supernova Wang Yi is already on the road to superstardom"

"22 goals, Wang Yi surpassed Kane"

"Only 4 goals away from Aguero"

The next day's headlines were almost all about Wang Yi.

Wang Yi was in the hotel room, cutting newspapers again.

Although this kind of thing looks like those boys and girls who collect idol news, Wang Yi is in a very good mood at the moment.

On the other hand, Wenger in Arsenal's office was not in a very good mood after seeing these reports.

Although at the beginning he was very happy that such an outstanding talent played for his team, but after thinking about it, such a player would leave the team at the end of the season, so his joy disappeared instantly.

"Arsene, what's the matter?"

James, Wenger's assistant coach and good friend for many years, saw the change in Wenger's expression, from a look of relief to a little complicated, and then to a heavy heart.

Feeling curious, James stretched out his head to take a look. They were all pictures of Wang Yi.

There are a series of famous newspapers in England, such as The Sun and The Times.

"Hey, the current tactics are all around Wang Yi, so what about next season?"

"Is Wang Yi irreparable?"

When James asked this sentence, he saw the speechless expression on his old friend's face.

"The better Wang Yi performed, the more anxious Real Madrid was to take him back. For Real Madrid, one more talent is not much, but such a player who can score goals is scarce even for Real Madrid."

"This is already unavoidable. Next season, it depends on how much the boss pays Xia Chuang. Then we can buy a winger and see if he can replace Wang Yi."

"It's easy to say, how can the whole world find a winger with 20+ seasons."

"The player Wang Yi is really amazing. I have never seen such a young player perform so well in his first full season. He scored 22 goals in the Premier League. Many famous stars have not achieved results."

"So, such a player will definitely become a superstar, so I decided to build tactics around Wang Yilai in October last year. But the tactics are really successful now, but Wang Yi is about to leave. His As soon as I leave, my tactics can actually be retained, as you said, I just need to find a player to replace Wang Yi, even if the number of goals drops, as long as he can partially replace Wang Yi's role, that's fine."

Wenger thought so.

"However, the owner of the team is in turmoil this year. Two Chinese capitals want to buy Arsenal. I don't know who it is?"

"The other company is also a Chinese company?" James really didn't know that another consortium interested in Arsenal was also a Chinese company.

"Then, after the acquisition by the consortium, since it is a Chinese company, wouldn't it be normal to buy Wang Yi, a Chinese man?"

"Of course I have thought about this issue, but there are only three months before Xia Chuang, but the acquisition of a club of this level at Arsenal cannot be negotiated in a year and a half. Going back, not to mention, will Real Madrid be willing to sell? Such a good player."

"Arsena, how many years does Wang Yi have in Real Madrid's contract?"

"Why do you ask this?"

Wenger looked at James suspiciously.

But he answered anyway.

"He signed an exclusive contract with Real Madrid in 2014. You can't believe the annual salary that Real Madrid gave. Wang Yi was just a young player at that time. They gave him an annual salary of 350 million euros after tax. Such an annual salary Arsenal is also at the mid-range level. It’s only 15 years now, and they still have at least three years of contract.”

James thought about it.

"I've heard the news, and I'm sure you know it too. Carlo Ancelotti may leave this summer. The new coach doesn't know who it is. By next year, Wang Yi's contract will only be two years. No matter how we will start discussing with him about contract renewal, we can definitely fight for it at that time, if the acquisition case has been won by that time.”

"However, let's not talk about whether Real Madrid is willing to sell or not. It depends on Wang Yi's obsession with Real Madrid. It is very difficult for him to leave Real Madrid now. As for the acquisition of players, I always feel that the current transfer market is too frothy. It’s big. In the past, a top player for 6000 million would definitely be able to win, but now what 6000 million can buy may be just a very mediocre player in the past. A player like Wang Yi, even if he wasted two years, after two years, Depending on his age, he is still a talented player who can become a superstar. At that time, even if Wang Yi is willing to leave, Real Madrid will sell it for how much money."

After speaking, both of them fell silent.

"Yes, it's too far away."

After that, the two raised their glasses together and drank.

At this time, Madrid on the Iberian Peninsula.

Florentino is eating with Butragueno at a western restaurant at this time.

The two often eat together.

This time when the two of them had dinner, the topic of discussion was Wang Yi, who has been very popular in European football recently.

Butragueno has always been optimistic about Wang Yi.

It has been like this since his days in Castile.

"Wang Yi, this player is very good, he can play multiple positions, right?"

Butragueno listened.

"Yeah, he played as a midfielder in La Fabrica, um, a right midfielder, good at advancing. After entering Castilla, he officially switched to a right winger. He is a left-footed player."

"So he can also play in midfield. Now the team still lacks a defensive midfielder. Look at him."

Butragueno raised his head sharply and looked at Florentino, hoping to see a hint of joking from his expression.

"Haha, you are still so easy to be serious. Am I going to let an offensive player who can score 22 goals in the Premier League play as a midfielder? Isn't that a huge waste?"

Butragueno breathed a sigh of relief.

"You said he turned into a midfielder, no—it shouldn't be turned into, he was originally a midfielder, turned into a winger."

"Mr. Chairman, but his best position right now is obviously the right winger."

"We already have Bale in that position."

"But—" Butragueno just wanted to say that Bell had too many injuries.

But looking back, Bell is the superstar that Florentino insisted on introducing. Florentino's expectations for him can be imagined. Even if he only played less than 20 games this season, Florentino So did Lentino.

"It doesn't matter. Bell has a lot of injuries. We play almost 60 games a season. The two can be used together."

"Wang Yi is still not as good as Bell right now."
