Chapter 271 The Dust Settles
Zhang Xu sat quietly on the sofa in the ward, flipped through Wenger's report for a while, and checked the relevant information of AC Milan on the Internet for a while. From his tangled expression, one can see his inner struggle.

"Boy, why are you so entangled?" At this time, Anderson opened the door and walked in. Seeing Zhang Xu's tangled expression, he couldn't help jokingly said: "Arsenal and AC Milan are both good teams. No matter which team you join, you can't go wrong!"

"Hey, old man, it's because of this that I'm so troubled!" Zhang Xu shook his head, stood up and made a cup of Dahongpao for Anderson.

Recently, Anderson has become obsessed with Dahongpao. Every time he comes, Zhang Xu will prepare a cup of Dahongpao for him, and he also plans to bring back dozens of catties when he returns to England!
Dozens of catties!Zhang Xu knelt down on the spot. Do you think Dahongpao can be bought casually from a roadside stall?The authentic top grade Dahongpao is produced on the few tea trees on the rock wall of Jiulongke, and the annual output is no more than a few hundred grams at most!

What I drink now is only 20 grams, and I bought it from friends in Fujian at a high price. The price of one gram is as high as [-]!

Dozens of catties?If it really weighed dozens of catties, Zhang Xu would have to go bankrupt.Besides, if you can get one hundred grams, it is already very good!
Anderson took a sip of Dahongpao, and praised: "It's really good tea! It's a pity that the production is a little small!"

Zhang Xu rolled his eyes, feeling that it was a waste of money for him to soak up this top-quality Dahongpao.

However, Anderson didn't care at all. He smelled the intoxicating aroma of tea, and said casually: "Zhang, you have good physical fitness and strong confrontation ability. I think you should be able to gain a foothold in the Premier League! Moreover, most of the Arsenal players are soft-footed shrimp. Once you, a guy with super confrontation ability, join the team, you will be like the team's Dinghaishenzhen. You will soon be able to establish your own prestige and open up the situation!"

"AC Milan is also good, but the defense in Serie A is recognized as the most terrifying in the world. Your footwork is not very good, so you may have unexpected difficulties because you don't adapt."

"So, I suggest that you choose Arsenal!" Anderson took another sip and offered Zhang Xu his own advice.

"Understood! Where is your relationship with Professor Wenger? It would be wrong for you not to suggest that I join Arsenal!" Zhang Xu snorted and said.

"Boy, I didn't mean to speak for Wenger when I said these words!" Anderson said with a rare seriousness.

Zhang Xu was stunned for a moment, then nodded, and said, "Okay, I got it! Thank you for your advice, old man!"

Anderson nodded, stopped talking, and concentrated on tasting the Dahongpao.

Zhang Xu stood up, walked to the window, looked at the sky outside, and fell into deep thought.

In fact, Anderson is right. His own shortcoming is that his skills are relatively rough. Facing the strict defense of the Serie A team, this shortcoming is likely to be infinitely magnified, and it will add a lot of unexpected troubles to himself.

Although the Premier League has put more emphasis on technology in recent years, it is still a relatively confrontational style of play at its core, and the real technology flow is still in La Liga.

Naturally, you don't have to worry about your physical fitness. If there is anyone on this planet who can be stronger than yourself, Zhang Xu really doesn't believe it.

With an absolute advantage in physical fitness, Zhang Xu is indeed better able to gain a firm foothold in the Premier League, which emphasizes physical confrontation.

However, Zhang Xu doesn't want to become a scourge that relies on his body to crush his opponents. He has always been very envious of Messi's superb skills.

Alas, if I can't adapt to the Serie A league, then I will definitely be squeezed out of the main position. This is not a good thing for me, because if I am not the main player, the number of matches and time will not be guaranteed, and the accumulated experience will be greatly reduced. This will directly lead to a rapid slowdown in his promotion speed.

For Zhang Xu, this was too fatal!

Upgrading is more important to him than anything else!Only a steady upgrade speed can guarantee that he can quickly acquire stronger strength in the shortest time!
Besides, judging from the importance the two teams place on themselves, Arsenal obviously pays much more attention than AC Milan. At least Professor Wenger has been to China in person, while the newly appointed AC Milan coach Seedorf just sent a transfer manager over.

Arsenal?Just follow Anderson's advice?Choose Arsenal?
Then go to Arsenal!

Zhang Xu finally made up his mind to join Professor Wenger's team!

"Old man, I've decided!" Zhang Xu turned around and said in a deep voice.

"Oh? Have you decided which team to join?" Anderson asked quickly, with a nervous expression on his face. It could be seen that he was still very concerned about Zhang Xu's choice.

"I have decided that next time I go back to North London to sign a contract, I will only bring you a box of Moutai and fifty grams of Dahongpao!" Zhang Xu said with a smile.

"Haha! I knew you would choose Arsenal! Haha! Kid, you will understand in the future that your choice this time is the most sensible!" Anderson finally got the answer he wanted from Zhang Xu's mouth, and immediately laughed happily: "Oh no, how can a box of Moutai be enough? Fifty grams of Dahongpao? Do you want me to drink half a gram a day? Too stingy! I want to double it!"

"Haha!" Zhang Xu didn't bother to talk to this greedy old guy, and rushed out from the door, leaving only a series of loud laughter.

Anderson's work efficiency is indeed very fast. On the second day, Zhang Xu received an extremely excited call from Professor Wenger: "Zhang, I am very glad that you chose me and Arsenal! I will let you know that your choice is right! Our Arsenal will definitely rise again in our hands and create a more brilliant glory than ever before!"

"Sir, since you have this confidence, I naturally have more confidence!" Zhang Xu said without humility.

"Haha, good, good! I like your attitude of giving it up to me very much! I think a new era will be born in our hands!" Then Wenger asked: "I will ask Mr. Anderson to draw up the contract as soon as possible. There are two questions. First, do you need the team to help you arrange accommodation? Or do you solve it yourself? Second, after the contract is signed, do you plan to announce it to the outside world from the day it is signed, or wait until later?"

"Accommodation? If there is a more suitable single-family villa near the club, please rent it for me, and I will pay the rent, thank you!" Zhang Xu considered that he and Nicola were engaged, so he was definitely not suitable to live in the club or the home of the fans, so he chose to rent a villa near the club.

"In addition, after the contract is signed, let's announce it to the outside world. I think Deportivo fans will understand me!" Zhang Xu sighed. He still has deep feelings for the Deportivo fans who have always supported him.

"Okay, I understand! I'll handle the rest, so you can rest assured!" Wenger nodded in understanding and said.

"Thank you! Sir!" After Zhang Xu finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

That afternoon, Zhang Xu received the contract from Wenger. Zhang Xu opened it and looked at it carefully. It should be said that this contract is still very reasonable for Zhang Xu.

The contract period is three years, not too long, and certainly not too short.With a weekly salary of 17.5 pounds, in the current Premier League, it can be ranked in the top ten.Moreover, the salary increases by ten percent every year!

Of course, this salary is pre-tax.

The goal and assist awards in the contract are also quite generous, and the rewards for winning the game on the spot are not bad. If the team wins the championship, the bonuses will be even more generous.

For example, if you win the FA Cup, you will be rewarded with a one-time reward of 10 pounds, and if you win the league championship, the reward will be as high as 50 pounds!
Moreover, Zhang Xu's portrait rights were not deprived in this contract, which is relatively rare in Premier League player contracts.

Zhang Xu's transfer price is 3750 million pounds, equivalent to 6000 million euros!

6000 million euros!Although this price is not yet a bid king, it will definitely be able to enter the top three in the European transfer market!
If there is anything about this contract that makes Zhang Xu unhappy, it is the minimum termination fee. Wenger actually set a price of [-] million euros for him!

It seems that Wenger was completely scared by Cesc Fabregas' betrayal!

"Thank you, old man! Now, I believe that you are really good to me!" Zhang Xu praised Anderson sincerely after reading the contract.

"Good boy, so you always thought I was cheating on you?" Anderson's eyes widened suddenly, and he shouted angrily.

"Because this is the best contract I got from you!" Zhang Xu didn't take Anderson's beard blowing and staring seriously.

"Ugh, okay! What you said really seems to be the same thing!" Anderson thought about it, and it was true, but he immediately reacted: "Boy, wasn't your strength before? I want to help you win a good contract, it depends on whether you are qualified or not! You were not good before, but now that you have the qualifications to ask for conditions, of course I can help you fight for it!"

"Haha, okay, old man, thank you! I am very satisfied with this contract, so let's do it! When will the contract be signed?"

"The contract can be signed at any time, but the press conference must wait until the transfer market is officially open!"

"So it's July [-]st? That's fine, I guess I should be able to fully recover by then!" Zhang Xu nodded and said indifferently.

"Fully recovered?" Anderson was taken aback. "How come you recovered so fast? You won't leave any hidden wounds, right?"

"Hey! Let me tell you the reason!" Zhang Xu approached Anderson's ear and said mysteriously, "Can you keep it secret?"

"I can!"

"Oh, so can I!"
