Chapter 158 The Predicament of the Defending Champion

The honors of the World Cup also go to each family.

The champion German team also won the best player in the World Cup. Ballack did not repeat another tragedy in time and space. This time he won the title of best player.

The top scorer is Du Shasha, who scored 10 goals, breaking the curse that the top scorer has scored no more than 78 goals since 6.

The best coach is naturally the German team coach Vöhler, who led the underrated German team to win the championship. Vöhler's ability is also unanimously favored by everyone.

The best lineups are:

Goalkeepers: Kahn (Germany), Seaman (England)
Defenders: Ashley Cole (England), Campbell (England), Hong Myung-bo (South Korea), Ramello (Germany), Hierro (Spain)

Midfielders: Rivaldo (Brazil), Bao Yaluo (Brazil), Pei Shuaiguo (England), Ballack (Germany), Joe Cole (England)

Forwards: Ronaldo (Brazil), Diouf (Senegal), Owen (England), Du Shasha (Hua Guo)

This officially announced best team basically lists the best players in this World Cup. Of course, the host has a player selected, which is still very face-saving.

After leaving Bangzi Island, Du Shasha flew back to Kyoto with the Huaguo team. This time, they made a historic entry into the World Cup and won the third place. Huaguo will hold a grand celebration banquet for the team in China.

However, Du Shasha only participated in the celebration banquet attended by national leaders, and then she left China and flew back to England.

The Premier League and the Champions League in the new season will become Du Shasha's key goals, especially the Champions League, which must be won.

However, the major European giants are recruiting, which is not easy for Arsenal.

And the opponents in the Premier League have also become stronger.

The old rival Manchester United has not moved much, but Liverpool has signed Diouf, who performed well in the World Cup, and he will form Liverpool's striker with Owen.

After the end of the World Cup, Abramovich's West Ham United announced a number of blockbuster deals in a row.

This makes West Ham United one of the winning teams in the new season.

The team's rookie coach is Agnelli. The tinkerer seems to have a relationship with Abramovich. In another time and space, he is the coach of Abramovich's Chelsea.

Joe Cole, Drogba, Carrick, and Chiellini have all renewed their contracts, and the framework of West Ham last season has not changed.

At the same time, West Ham United introduced Glenshire, Robbie Keane, Duff, Song, Malouda, Fredell and many other international players.

Abramovich naturally wants to challenge Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United, so Arsenal's road to defending the title will be more difficult.

The opponent is strengthening, but the defending champion Arsenal has been poached.

Grimendi was the first to leave, and he will join the La Liga team Atletico Madrid.Atletico Madrid climbed back to La Liga from La Liga, and Hill was ambitious and ready to make a comeback.

Grimandy, who played well at Arsenal but was not an absolute main player, entered Hill's vision.

1100 million pounds, Wenger waved, motioned to let people go.

Van Bronckhorst also left Arsenal. Wenger didn’t like Van Bronckhorst. It’s no longer an open secret. In the end, he went to Barcelona for 500 million pounds, which was less than the 800 million pounds he had brought in. 300.

Jefferson also left. In the past season, Jefferson was not without opportunities, but he didn't seize them himself.

For £650 million, Jefferson went to Wolves.

Pires, Wiltord, and Ashley Cole are also being rumored with various teams.

Since Du Shasha joined Arsenal, Pires' status has been weakened a lot, and the team's set-pieces are no longer his patent.

Naturally, Pires still had thoughts in his heart, and at this time, Barcelona and Roma were also trying to poach him. Pires didn't feel regretful that he had already won the Premier League title, so he also wanted to leave.

In the end, Barcelona successfully snatched 2800 million pounds.

Wiltord was favored by Juventus, 2300 million pounds, Wenger wanted to refuse, but the player's willingness made Wenger finally choose to let go.

Ashley Cole's destination is West Ham United. Abramovich wrote him a check for a weekly salary of 10 pounds. Ashley Cole couldn't be tempted.This is three times more than at Arsenal, and he can continue to stay in London. Ashley Cole's agent has already talked to Wenger several times.

Naturally, Wenger refused to let go of England's number one left-back he had cultivated by himself, but the player was determined to leave, so Wenger could only let go in the end.

However, in terms of transfer fees, Wenger asked for 3000 million pounds.

Abu didn't even talk about the price, and he agreed directly. The local tyrants do things, and there is no need to explain everything.

Arsenal's downsizing also includes player retirements.

The veteran Adams officially retired after the World Cup. The veteran captain who is about to turn 36 years old, after winning the championship last season, he fulfilled his wish and willingly retired to the reserve team to lead young players.

Seaman also announced his official retirement after the World Cup. Although he did not win the World Cup, Seaman's performance is still good. He hopes to leave a perfect image for the fans.

Kanu also had no choice but to announce his retirement. His heart could not bear the game. It is really embarrassing to announce his retirement at such a young age.

With so many players leaving Arsenal, Arsenal currently have only 19 players in the first team.

Out of 9 players, but only Diving Luo was identified, the current situation of Arsenal is embarrassing.

From the sale of Grimandy, Jefferson, Van Bronckhorst, Pires, Wiltord and Ashley Cole, Arsenal received a total of 1.05 million pounds. Wenger was very distressed about this money. Because he can't use it at all.

Arsenal's new stadium plan has been launched, and now the club needs a lot of money to invest in the new stadium.

Money cannot be used, Wenger can only dig from the inside, and at the same time digging young players from other clubs is also Wenger's next goal.

It was not until July 7 that Arsenal announced the second signing of the new season: German goalkeeper Lehmann joined Arsenal for £28 million.

The joining of Lehmann is obviously to fill the vacancy after Seaman's retirement. In terms of strength, Lehmann is no worse than Seaman, and he is also the No. 2 goalkeeper of the German national team. This signing is timely.

Because the start time of the 02-03 Premier League season is August 8, it has only been a little over half a month.

Immediately afterwards, Wenger introduced central defender Sigan from the Ligue 150 team Lille, and the transfer fee was only [-] million pounds.

It can be seen that Wenger is now careful planning. Xigan is not weak. Arsenal is still fighting on multiple lines this season. Adams' retirement has left a vacancy in the defense reserve. Therefore, the introduction of Xigan is also very correct. .

Wenger continued to open his eyes, and he spent 25 pounds to introduce teenager Clichy from the French second-tier team Cannes.

Clichy just celebrated his 16th birthday, but now he has stepped into the rich.There is no doubt that he will start the new season from the Arsenal reserve team. Once he performs well, he will be called up to the first team.

The last signing came from the midfielder Gilberto Silva of the Brazilian national team, and he only cost Arsenal 400 million pounds.

Gilberto Silva is a defensive midfielder, but he also has the offensive talent unique to Brazilian players. Wenger made another profit in this deal.

However, there are still only 23 players in Arsenal's first team in the new season. This is not a World Cup. How can such people fight on two fronts and win the double crown?
