Chapter 786 79 Night Interview with Hugo 2
Just last season, at the end of 2009, Arsenal led by Arsene Wenger broke a record. In the final round of the Champions League group stage, the average age of the 18-man squad submitted by Arsenal to UEFA was only 20.3 years old, a new record. The lowest average age record in the UEFA Champions League.

This record sounds proud, but it is actually very embarrassing. Just like Wenger himself said, it is difficult to win the championship with young people. When Arsenal won the championship undefeated, many players were at the age of playing instead of sixteen or seventeen. Children, Alan Hansen said the classic saying "You can't expect a group of children to win any championship!" In fact, it is true. Since Alan Hansen's remarks were thrown out, only Chelsea in the 2004/05 season won the championship. The average age is younger than that of Manchester United (95 years old) in the 96/24 season. This is the result of Abramovich spending a lot of money to poach various young talents from all over the world.

Alan Hansen's words are a general rule. Ferguson's Manchester United is just a special case. How could Wenger not know? !

This season is not over yet, and many Arsenal players are going to be poached again. The captain and core of the team, Cesc Fabregas, has already been lured by Barcelona, ​​and he wants to return to Barcelona wholeheartedly. Why, because there is no hope for Arsenal , Now that even head coach Arsene Wenger has left, Fabregas' desire to leave may be even more urgent.

Yes, this Cesc Fabregas did his part to appear on Wenger's signing list, but this deal is not easy to achieve. After all, the player's will is very important, especially Fabregas who is in the near future. This is especially true for the stars who have been famous in the world football for two years. Fabregas made his debut in Barcelona.

The two chatted and talked about the transfer market. Hugo said: "Arsena, the transfer list you provided may be difficult to obtain!"

"Think about whether you have been too cruel to your old club!" Hugo joked, "Arsenal may not let him go so easily, and Cesc Fabregas is also facing competition from Barcelona, ​​not us. It is very difficult not to get him but to get him, after all, he made his debut from Barcelona, ​​and in terms of financial resources, they can completely compete with us!"

Like Real Madrid, Barcelona are members-only clubs with good money. The Catalonia region supports Barcelona. As for Real Madrid, hehe, there is no need to say much behind the scenes. Behind the battle between the two clubs is politics. The factor is not simple, and money is not a problem, so Lafayette dared to spend money, and Barcelona actually dared to spend money.

"Time is a bit tight. I am definitely willing to choose familiar players for signings. At present, my thinking is that we need to make signings in these positions. Vucinic has left on the front line. I need a striker. I think Robin is very suitable, he is very capable, and he will become Suarez's best competitor!" Wenger spoke eloquently.

At present Wenger needs to strengthen the striker who bears the brunt, Vucinic left, Tony is getting old, just relying on Suarez is not enough, and Wenger feels that it is necessary to add a competitor to Suarez, the former disciple Robin van Persie is the best choice, anyway Trapani is not short of money.

The goal of midfielder Wenger is Fabregas. He knows Fabregas well. Fabregas can reach his current position at a young age. Bregas gave up Barcelona and switched to Trapani, but Hugo was not convinced by Wenger's persuasion skills.

You must know what Wenger said to Fabregas at the end last season, "You will regret going to Barcelona!" Bregas is still hooking up with Barcelona.

Defender Arsene Wenger wants to get rid of Peruso and Lerotalie and introduce Sagna. This is another Arsenal player, the main defender on the right, with excellent assist ability.

There are also a few Arsenal players such as Diaby and Nasri in the list. They are either the main players of Arsenal or the young talents that Wenger had previously reserved. Hugo feels that Wenger is moving his Arsenal players. Home, huh, huh, that's easier said than done.

The two chatted for almost an hour, and Wenger gradually gave up some of his goals. He said to Hugo: "This is just a preliminary list! I will go to Mr. Sely to discuss it tomorrow! We can choose some If you can do it, we will make a choice together, not necessarily the players on the list!"

Hugo nodded in satisfaction. Although he was baffled by Wenger's visit to him, he was still happy to have solved such a matter.

The mood became more and more happy, and the two talked nonsense. Of course, Wenger, a football dog, cannot do without football. Wenger asked some questions about Bielsa's tactical thinking, and then exchanged some of his tactical ideas with Hugo. , This is actually the main purpose of Wenger's visit to Hugo. He didn't know that Kenyon and Sely had been reprimanded by Hugo.

He likes to talk about tactical issues with bosses who understand the ball. Hugo knows the ball very well. Hugo warned Wenger, "There is no doubt that we chose you because we appreciate your football style and your beautiful football, but Coaches who can't defend in Italy are usually not easy to win the championship. Last season we were in a mess and almost lost all four. That's why Mr. Bielsa left!"

"Look, Mr. Bielsa has been in the team for three years!" Hugo counted for Wenger with his fingers, "But in three years, he only won one league championship! I made it clear, I hope the team can play well, but the championship is also our pursuit, Arsene, you should understand what I mean! You have been in European football for so many years, you should know that ideals and reality need to find a fit point!"

Wenger nodded. He would not fail to understand what Hugo meant. In fact, he asked Bielsa’s tactics just to learn from them. He watched a lot of videos and knew that every game in the league was very important to Trapani. Difficult, other teams are used to defending in front of Trapani, and the defensive counterattack is very slippery.

Last season, Bielsa's team encountered a lot of difficulties. Every team felt like they were fighting Trapani like chicken blood. It is reasonable that Trapani, who had major defensive surgery, did not perform well. .

It wasn't until eleven o'clock in the evening that Wenger bid farewell to Hugo "reluctantly". Hugo still hasn't figured out why Wenger came to him this night. His curiosity is very strong. So when Wenger was about to get into the car, Hugo asked uncertainly: "Arsene, did you forget something and didn't tell me today?!"

"No!" Wenger looked stunned, "I have nothing to tell you!"

"Oh, okay!" Hugo waved his hand, "Goodbye, welcome to come again next time!"

"Okay, I'll come again next time! How about next Friday?! Oh, no, I promise my daughter to accompany her! Saturday, how about it, my friend, Saturday, are you free?!" Wenger stood Thinking beside the car.

Uh, Hugo is very speechless, still coming? !Hugo agreed with a bitter face, and after hugging his son and saying goodbye to Wenger, Hugo returned to the room, and Julia was also curious: "What does Mr. Wenger want from you?!"

"It's okay for him to find me! He just chatted with me! I don't know, maybe it has something to do with the transfer list, come to negotiate with me?! He didn't say clearly!" Hugo said depressedly.

"Is it really okay?!" Julia was deeply suspicious. In her opinion, her husband and Wenger really haven't reached the stage of being friends. If they were really friends, Hugo and the others wouldn't chat for so long!
Later, as the number of Wenger's visits increased, Hugo and Julia finally realized that Nima Wenger was a chatterbox, and he just liked to chat with the boss!
