As early as the winter of last season, Wenger expressed his fondness for William and hoped that Pan Yi could rent and then buy William like he did with Cech.

This is not only because William's technical characteristics are quite in line with the professor's requirements, but also because William is also a versatile frontcourt player.

He can play left winger, right winger, attacking midfielder, left midfielder, right midfielder, central midfielder... and even the center position.

Nowadays, Wenger is eager for a midfielder, so he mentioned Willian again.

Although William is not good at playing as a purely defensive midfielder, as long as he can play as a pseudo-winger or an all-around midfielder in the midfield, it will be enough to satisfy the professor.

In the 4-2-3-1 system commonly used by Wenger in recent years, the so-called double midfielders in the "2" itself are not all purely defensive.

Just like "Reaper" Ramsey, he often appears in this position. Could it be said that he is a pure midfielder? Obviously not.

If William can be brought here, maybe he can develop more playing styles in this position and reflect Arsenal's beautiful football more vividly...

But Pan Yi really hesitated after hearing what Wenger said.

This summer window, I am missing a center Bamford, two midfielders Mikel and Ramirez, and now I am missing a William who can play from both sides;

At present, the only people in the team that can definitely be supplemented are Mbappe from the youth team and Goretzka who is currently in talks, 4-2=2, there is still a shortage of this population!

In fact, the most important thing is the lack of a center.

In theory, Mbappe is actually more suitable to play as a winger. In this way, it can just make up for the vacancy left by William's departure. But in this case, what about the center?

Otherwise, talk to Wenger about buying Giroud from their team?

But Pan Yi raised his eyes and glanced at the white-haired professor, but still didn't say anything.

Giroud can be said to be Arsenal's most relied-upon center forward. If he is really taken away...

Either the professor vomited blood and fell to the ground, or the professor picked up the folding stool and started training with Pan Yi. In short, only one of the two men in this room could survive.

Forget it, there’s no need to kill anyone.

Then you can find it slowly by yourself.

Anyway, if you have money in your hand, if you really want to spend tens of thousands of dollars, Suarez, Benzema and the like are not impossible...

"How's it going?" Seeing that Pan Yi didn't speak, Wenger asked a little anxiously.

Then he added: "If you need any players or something, we can discuss it... Aren't you very concerned about your affiliated clubs?"

】

Pan Yi approached many coaches to ask for people to supplement the matter of moving to York City, and Wenger also heard about it.

Although I don’t know why Pan Yi cares so much about this League Two team and even sent his assistant coaches to be the head coaches, Wenger can’t control that much. In short, Pan Yi only needs it.

Although most Arsenal players are reluctant to play in League Two, they can always find a way.

It is much better than Pan Yi really asking Wenger to leave Sanchez and a main force like Giroud!

"No need for that, thank you." Pan Yi waved his hand.

Now York City's team can be said to be strong and strong, and there is no need for any more support.

Then Pan Yi continued: "William, I can rent it to you first. But..."

"But what?" Wenger asked happily.

"I want your captain."

"...??" Wenger looked confused, "Arteta? But, he is already ready to retire... Don't you always buy young players, why would you want him?"

"Who said I want him to be my player?" Pan Yi said with a smile on his face, "Didn't I leave an assistant coach? I want him to come to Chelsea and be my coach."

This is what Pan Yi is thinking now.

Scaloni is going to be the head coach of York City, and of course he needs to add an assistant coach.

And Arteta is obviously a very suitable candidate.

In Pan Yi's previous life, although Brother Tazi has been semi-retired this year, he will officially announce his retirement next summer. Then he will join Guardiola's coaching staff who came to the Premier League in the same year and become an assistant coach at Manchester City.

After helping Manchester City win two Premier League titles and two League Cup titles with the team, Arteta returned to Arsenal and began his head coaching career.

Arsenal also paid millions of pounds in liquidated damages to Manchester City.

In the following 2019-20 season, Arteta led Arsenal to defeat Chelsea 2-1 in the FA Cup final and won the cup, becoming the first player since George Graham in 1987 to win a key trophy in his first season at Arsenal.

The head coach is also the youngest FA Cup winning coach in 20 years.

After experiencing an unsuccessful 2020-21 season, Arsenal extended Arteta's contract until 2025.

Since then, Arteta has led Arsenal to play better and better, and has also begun to launch an attack on the team's first Premier League championship in the past 20 years...

Judging from this resume, Arteta is indeed a natural coach and natural leader.

After retiring, he only served as an assistant coach for two years, and immediately started coaching a wealthy team. He can be said to be successful, and he can also be said to be a beggar's version of Pan Yi.

Moreover, Arteta's coaching style also emphasizes discipline, is very passionate, and is good at inspiring players' emotions. He is known as the best head coach in football who can make ppts, which is also in line with Pan Yi's requirements.

It's just that Arteta still has a contract with Arsenal, so it's not easy to directly encourage him to retire and come to Chelsea as a coach.

This is not the same as Scaloni back then. At that time, he was almost a free agent, but he was still hesitating whether to continue to find a team to play for another year. Why does Pan Yi always do this kind of persuasion?

Is it a job for someone to retire and become a coach?

But if Arteta comes forward and negotiates amicably to terminate the contract through Wenger, then there shouldn't be a big problem.

As for Arteta himself, it should not be a problem.

Since he is willing to work as an assistant coach under Guardiola, wouldn't it suit him even more now when he faces Pan Yi, a master tactician who is more famous than Guardiola?

Anyway, he can't play football at Arsenal now, and he has no intention of switching to another team. He might as well enter the coaching industry as early as possible.

"Okay. I'll go talk to him." Wenger pondered for a moment and then readily agreed to the request.

He has no reason to refuse.

He has always valued Arteta, the old captain, and of course he hopes that Arteta can have a good ending.

In fact, he has already asked Arteta to do some youth training part-time this season, and he is also planning to let Arteta take on more coaching jobs next season.

After becoming the head coach of Arsenal, Arteta also said that his choice to become a coach was influenced by Wenger. The Premier League should always be grateful for Wenger's contribution.

"I dreamed of playing for Arsenal because of the way Arsenal played under Wenger. It was so attractive and I think every player wanted to play here. I spent some time with Wenger.

It was an extraordinary time and I learned a lot."

"Working with Arsene Wenger pushed me to become a coach at the end of my career, so he had a big influence on me. We had a conversation and I asked him what he would do if he were in my position because I didn't

Deciding whether to continue playing football or start my coaching career."

"He then helped me get a job at the club's academy. Wenger was an inspiration to me, he always supported me and I think he inspired every player and every staff member who worked with him.

."

"I think Wenger took English football to a different level and opened the door to other foreigners to make the league better."

"The way he spoke, the message he delivered as a coach, the way he coached the team to play, I think Wenger had an extraordinary impact on world football. His vision was much broader than any coach at the time.

.I think England and the Premier League should always be grateful for Wenger's contribution."

"To know that being able to coach a team for a long time and maintain a consistently high level is an incredible achievement. Especially in the Premier League, Sir Alex Ferguson and Wenger have really done this. No one else has achieved it.

I don’t know if there’s anyone like them anymore.”

"It's extraordinary to be around the same people, the same staff, the same players regularly and to be able to come up with something new every day to motivate them and keep them hungry, it's something very rare and special.

quality."

The mutual appreciation and achievements of both parties made this a good story between master and disciple.

Now, with Pan Yi's promotion, this process will become faster.

And in this way, Chelsea got Goretzka, Arsenal got Willian, and Arteta was able to work next to Pan Yi to continue his football career. It was simply a win-win result!

------------------

In the following days, there were several pieces of transfer news that made fans quickly climb up and down the tree.

Leicester City purchased Chelsea’s Nigerian midfielder Mikel for a transfer fee of 20 million pounds;

Chelsea sold Brazilian midfielder Ramirez to Chinese Super League team Jiangsu Suning for 40 million euros;

Chelsea brought 20-year-old German midfielder Goretzka from Schalke 04 for 12 million euros;

Arsenal rented Chelsea winger Willian for full salary plus a loan fee of 1 million pounds, with a buyout clause;

In addition, it is related to coaching:

Chelsea assistant coach Scaloni leaves the team to become the head coach of York City in the English second division;

Arsenal captain Arteta officially announced his retirement and joined the Chelsea coaching staff as an assistant coach to head coach Pan Yi.

These news, combined with the fact that Bamford joined Crystal Palace on loan earlier, actually made Chelsea fans a little unhappy.

Is this equivalent to taking away a young center from their own youth training and three experienced veteran players, but only adding a little-known German?

Although Pan Yi's signings are always unexpected and have good results, this time there are actually fewer people.
