The Sun was the first to break the news, and their report was very detailed.
——Luo Wu rejected Paris Birthday Man!
——Paris Saint-Germain chairman Nasser offered the most expensive annual salary in football history, which reached 100 million euros. Unfortunately, Chinese Luo Wu refused.
——The Chinese rejected a six-year contract with an annual salary of 100 million and a signing fee of 100 million. Arsenal also missed out on 250 million pounds in income.
——This is a unique contract in history, but can you imagine Luo Wu rejecting it?
The news quickly went viral in England, and then other media reprinted it wildly. Soon the whole of Europe knew about Luo Wu's decision.
In addition to the cheering of Arsenal fans, fans elsewhere felt that Luo Wu's brain had been kicked by a donkey.
If you don't sign a contract with a signing fee of 100 million and an annual salary of 100 million, why are you still staying at Arsenal?
Especially Paris Saint-Germain fans, they left messages on Luo Wu's social account and cursed him wildly.
"You idiot! You didn't come for 100 million. Who do you think you are? The club is so sincere in signing you, but you actually refused. You should never think about coming to Paris Saint-Germain again in your life. Wait until we win the Champions League."
Just cry when you do."
"I really don't understand what you are thinking. Why don't you come to Paris Saint-Germain? Here you can get the highest salary in the world, become the number one player in world football, and form the strongest team with Mbappe and Neymar.
Isn’t the forward combination bad? What future can we have if we stay at damn Arsenal!”
"I am so disappointed in you, you hurt our feelings so much! You should become a part of Paris Saint-Germain. Now, Nasser must be angry. You have angered him, and you must not have."
Eat the good fruit."
"I used to regard you as my idol, but now I have no choice but to give up. I will just die at Arsenal, bah!"
Fans of other clubs also left messages and played to a high level.
"As a Real Madrid fan, I really envy Paris Saint-Germain. They can actually sign a player in such a rough way, but what surprises me even more is that Luo Wu actually refused? This time I laughed to death.
Hahaha, this once again proves that money is not everything."
"As a Barcelona fan, I finally have a balance in my heart. Paris Saint-Germain can buy Neymar, but it can't buy Luo Wu. Let money die!"
"As a Manchester United fan, I feel sad. The first is that Manchester United must not be willing to spend so much money to buy a player. The second is that as long as this guy continues to stay at Arsenal, it may not be good for other teams.
There is no chance of winning the championship.”
"As a Liverpool fan, I personally support Paris Saint-Germain in buying him. As long as he leaves Arsenal, there is nothing to fear. What a pity, what a pity. Chinese people don't like money?"
"As a Manchester City fan, I firmly support what the Liverpool fan above said..."
The fans are like this, and football celebrities are also discussing it.
Sky Sports commentator and Manchester United star Neville said bluntly on the show:
"This is too exaggerated. Paris Saint-Germain has destroyed the atmosphere of football. They can't use money to do anything. I can't imagine what the consequences would be if it were given to other clubs to give players an annual salary of 100 million and a signing fee."
, then it may go bankrupt by the end of the year.”
"When we used to play football, our annual salary was only one or two million, but now it's over 100 million. This is not normal, not normal at all. And if a player earns so much before he has achieved results, then how can he renew his contract in the future?
manage?"
"So I think the crazy thing PSG are doing is extremely stupid!"
At the end of the sentence, Neville even cursed directly.
Chelsea legend Lampard’s views are quite similar to his. He wrote on Twitter:
"This is really crazy. I was shocked when I saw the news. I didn't expect that a player could get an annual salary of 100 million. What I didn't expect was that the Chinese rejected Paris Saint-Germain. I should thank Ronaldo
Wu, if he agrees to Paris Saint-Germain's request, then many different things may happen in international football, other players will follow suit, and the club's survival will become difficult."
"This is also very unfair. Behind Paris Saint-Germain is a country. No club's financial resources can be compared with theirs. They are a giant. I think in the transfer market, as long as they take a fancy to players, other players will be ignored."
The clubs are not competitive. But the funny thing is that UEFA is indifferent to what they are doing."
"They have probably lost hundreds of millions over the years, but they have not been financially punished. This is really funny."
Italian legend and Milan director Maldini said angrily:
"Obviously the president of Paris Saint-Germain has done something outrageous again. They always think that money can solve everything, and then they run rampant in European football. I once called Leonardo, the director of Paris Saint-Germain, and told him
He shouldn't be doing this, they're destroying the market, they should abide by Financial Fair Play rather than relying on their own bosses to pay for it."
"But obviously even if Paris makes a mistake, UEFA will not punish them, but Milan. Everyone has seen that because of the so-called Financial Fair Play policy, we cannot participate in the Champions League. This is really ironic...
"
"I am also very glad that the Chinese did not agree to their unreasonable demands. He still sticks to Arsenal. This makes me awe-inspiring. It turns out that there is such a beautiful thing in football."
The most important figure is undoubtedly Real Madrid President Florentino.
Florentino took the initiative to criticize in "Aspen": This is a stupid thing done by a stupid person. Paris has gone too far. Before this, every club in Europe was diligent and diligent.
They tried hard to make money and tried every means to buy the players they wanted, but since they appeared, the entire market has gone bad.
"I can even imagine that when every world-class player reaches the contract period in the future, they will sign them at a very high price, and then other clubs will have no chance. This is really damned!"
Florentino was angry, and the reason was actually very simple. Because he used to be the one waving the banknotes, and now it was Nasser who was waving the banknotes. Of course he was unhappy.
In the future, the buyer will have to compete with Paris Saint-Germain, but it seems that they are no match...
※※※※
London, Arsenal headquarters.
Club owner Clark sat in his office, his whole face distorted.
Because I'm really angry.
Missed £250m deal.
Although his net worth reached 2.6 billion pounds, he was still tempted by the huge income of 250 million pounds, so he agreed to Nasser's request.
But he did not expect that Luo Wu would refuse to join Paris Saint-Germain.
This business is so bad. It's not that he doesn't consider the team's honor, it's just because Haaland, who just joined the team recently, performed very well.
He believed that Haaland could fill the vacancy left by Luo Wu, so he nodded.
But now Luo Wu stayed.
"Ah, damn it."
"Is it possible that the Chinese have not changed their tune?" He looked at the team director, hoping that there was still room for change.
The team director shook his head and said, "There is nothing to talk about anymore. Nasser has already flown back to Europe. Everything is over."
"Maybe it will never happen again. Except for Paris Saint-Germain, I don't think other teams will spend so much money."
…
This is the attitude of the club, but Arsenal fans have already celebrated.
They drank and celebrated in a London bar as if they had won the league championship, and left messages on Luo Wu's social software to express their gratitude to Luo Wu.
Hundreds of thousands of messages filled his social media, all filled with thank yous.
On this day, Arsenal fans are the happiest fans in the world.
There is no one.
And Luo Wu, who rejected Paris Saint-Germain, is naturally quite great. You have to know that any other player might have bowed his head and signed the contract. Who would be troubled by money? Such a large amount of money...
The person involved, Luo Wu, also wrote a paragraph on Instagram: Is 100 million a lot? You just want to take me away from Arsenal. I have no interest in money, so don’t try to use money to impress me...
Not interested in money? The main reason is that this guy has too much money. If he is very poor, do you think he is interested in money?
Of course, he also made other teammates of the national team envious and jealous.
Many people don't understand why he didn't accept Paris Saint-Germain.
Wei Shihao was one of them. During the training the next day, he ran over and chatted with Luo Wu.
"Little brother, you are really open-minded. Two hundred million euros are just gone. If it were me, I would have agreed immediately. Even if I only play for one year and retire, it is worth it, not to mention that it will be six years."
Six hundred million."
Huang Bowen on the side couldn't help but echoed:
"Yes, yes, I think I should agree. Anyway, there is not much difference between Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain. Arsenal is your team now. There are so many big-name stars in Paris Saint-Germain. You go and play with them."
Wouldn't it be much easier to win the championship if they were teammates?"
The old captain Zheng Zhi interrupted them:
"You should stop worrying about Luo Wu. This is really not a question of money. Is 200 million euros a lot? Luo Wu's current endorsement fee should be tens of millions."
"He can earn more than 100 million a year, so why should he go to Paris Saint-Germain? People have to pursue something, such as a dream. Isn't it better to lead Arsenal to win the league championship and the European championship than to lead Paris Saint-Germain?"
It’s the old captain Zheng Zhi who understands Luo Wu.
It's just a small dream. It's not as complicated as everyone thinks. There is no point in joining Paris Saint-Germain for money.
If you have too much money, it is just a tool...
"The captain is right, that's what I think. Don't discuss this matter. Let's see who our next opponent is."
Luo Wu smiled, and then left together with the old captain Zheng Zhi. The two of them made an appointment to watch the game. Today there will be opponents in the quarterfinals, and there will also be a game against Son Heung-min's South Korea team.
"Oh, these people are really promising. All they think about is money all day long. Do they have no other dreams besides money?" Zheng Zhi complained as he walked.
"It's normal, it's normal. Who doesn't do it for money? To be honest, if I was very poor, I would go there, but now I don't have a lot of money."
Zheng Zhi shook his head, "Money is not a problem, but the key is that everyone does not understand their own strength. Only when you have strength can you pursue higher goals, right? In fact, the wages of those of us who play in the Chinese Super League are already very high.
.The salary is higher than that of many European players, but you are still thinking about asking for more money. Isn’t that a joke?”
"It makes sense." Luo Wu nodded, "Money and strength are equivalent. I hope we can have more capable players in the country in the future, but why do I feel that there are no new players emerging recently?"
"Yes, there are no capable young people at all. Our country's current reserve of professional players is only a few thousand people. It is actually quite difficult to select 22 international players from a few thousand people.
It’s quite delicious.”
"I hope your arrival can drive Chinese football, and then you can participate in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. In this case, I think Chinese football should be able to survive and develop."
"I heard that there is a survey in China. Now many children have started to like playing football because they watched you play. This is a great thing. We have never done this before."
Having said this, Zheng Zhi's face was filled with relief.
Luo Wu was also very happy: "This is indeed a good thing. I was also thinking about returning to China to invest in a football school and help some children in need."
"Invest in a football school? I also have this idea. After I retire, I plan to work in a football school and take care of young people. Are you interested in building one with me?"
"Okay, when you become the principal and head coach, I will be responsible for the investment bank and not care about anything. Do you think this is okay? I will ask the agent team to contact you later. You can talk to them about the details, and I will not be involved.
Already."
Luo Wu agreed without thinking, since it wouldn't cost much anyway.
Unknowingly, the two people had arrived in the conference room, and the Korean team's game was being played on the big TV screen.
The game has gone on for twenty-three minutes, and the Korean team has already taken a two-goal lead.
Both goals were scored by Son Heung-min.
"Hey, this guy seems to have overtaken you again." Zheng Zhi's sharp eyes immediately saw that the guy who scored the goal was Son Heung-min.
"Hey, it's just a super. It's good. Otherwise I would be so lonely playing alone. It's good to have an opponent. Brother, don't worry. The top scorer can't escape. He will definitely have to take the third place.
Second place, now it depends on how many goals we can increase."
Luo Wu's face was full of confidence.
Then he clicked on his phone and took a look at Qiu Di.
"Our opponent is out."
"Qatar."
"Qatar defeated Iraq 3:0 and advanced to the quarterfinals."
"Qatar, we are in dire straits this time." When Zheng Zhi heard this, he immediately laughed.
"Why?" Luo Wu was puzzled, "Qatar shouldn't be strong either, right?"
"It shouldn't be difficult to kick."
"It's not strong, but you have to think about who you offended yesterday?" Zheng Zhi asked.
"F*ck," Luo Wu reacted immediately. Yesterday he offended Nasser, which meant he offended the leader of Qatar...
Wouldn’t that offend the entire country?
When China plays Qatar, Qatari fans will definitely fill up the stadium, and this will become their home court. As for the fighting capacity of Qatari players...
"It's over. So we'll be fighting at their home court."
They were right.
Now that Qatar has advanced, Qatar's news media have begun to build momentum.
Al Jazeera: Fight for Paris! Fight for Nasser! Fight for the people of Qatar!
——The Qatar national team will face the Chinese national team in the next quarter-finals. We must find dignity for Nasser, we must find dignity for the Qatari people, and we will never tolerate the Chinese running wild on this land.
!
The people are also very excited.
After all, Paris Saint-Germain belongs to their country. After being rejected by Luo Wu, almost all Qatari fans were very angry.
Now they have a chance.
Many Qatari fans began to buy tickets for the quarter-finals in large quantities. They are going to the United Arab Emirates, and they want to turn the Emirates stadium into their home stadium.
A steady stream of Qatari fans begin to flock to the United Arab Emirates...
The players of the Qatar team were also very excited.
Midfielder Fatesi made harsh words right away.
"I'm not letting this guy walk off the court, his feet are mine."
"I will let him know what fighting between men is. I will not deal with him like a sissy. I will make his life worse than death on the court."
"Nothing would be happier than to have him go off injured!"
Fatasi was a threat from Chi Guoguo, threatening to break Luo Wu's legs.
I just don’t know if he has the ability. Many players said this before the game, but the results were all tragic.
Salman, another defense general, is also very passionate, "I will nail him like a nail and leave him at a loss. I will not be as stupid as others and give him space to dribble. Believe me, I can definitely do it."
Yes, I’ve watched a lot of videos of him dribbling, and I didn’t even let him have a chance to shoot!”
This Salman is even more arrogant and dares to say that Luo Wu has no chance to shoot.
Has he really watched a lot of videos of dribbling? Why does it feel like he doesn’t even have a TV at home, otherwise how would he dare to say such nonsense.
It's just that the news soon appeared on Dong Qiudi, but Luo Wu didn't see it. He was watching the Korean team's game with Zheng Zhi.
The South Korean team continued to kill in the second half. Son Heung-min completed a hat trick and sent two assists.
He won the best of the match and also led the scorer list by two goals. He has now scored fifteen goals.
The really terrifying Son Heung-min, under the stimulation of Luo Wu, also inspired the strongest version of himself.
In the end, the Korean team easily advanced to the quarterfinals.
But unfortunately, the Korean team will meet the Iranian team and stage a strong confrontation. After the two of them compete, only one team can enter the semi-finals.
But judging from Son Heung-min's hot state, there is a high probability that the South Korean team will advance...
※※※※
Although facing a formidable enemy, the Chinese team's preparations were still very relaxed.
Lippi spends a lot of time practicing 352.
The five players in the midfield are Zheng Zhi, Xu Xin, Huang Bowen, Wei Shihao and Hao Junmin.
The forwards are Zhang Yuning and Luo Wu.
On the defense line, Zhang Linpeng was abandoned, and Feng Xiaoting, Shi Ke and Liu Yang formed the defense line.
The goalkeeper is still Wang Dalei.
If nothing else, the Chinese team will start with this lineup.
Anyway, if Lippi wants to play in the five midfielders, then Voure will definitely have to play as a substitute, and it is impossible to start with Luo Wu. However, Voure is not disappointed, but stays by Luo Wu's side to improve his shooting level.
Previously, Luo Wu tried to let him dribble the ball past the goalkeeper in training. He also used it in the game, and the effect was very good.
Now the two have become friends forever.
"Cristiano Ronaldo told you before that he should practice your left foot more. This is absolutely true. Just practice it."
Luo Wu still remembers what Ronaldo said to Wu Lei.
"Age is not a problem. I think your shooting skills are a bit poor and your running position is quite good. There is also physical confrontation, which needs to be strengthened."
Although he was older than Luo Wu, Wu Lei still accepted the teachings with an open mind.
"Telling you secretly,"
"After this competition, many naturalized players will come in, and the pressure will be even greater. Many players who have been hanging around here may be kicked out."
"I understand." Wu Lei narrowed his eyes and stared at the other teammates on the court. Who will be cleared out by then?
Anyway, the team had many problems before, but now the results have temporarily covered up the problems.
But it will definitely have to be solved in the future.
Those who are not capable enough and those who do not work hard will definitely have to be eliminated.
But Wu Lei definitely doesn't count, but if you want to play the main role? Then you have to work harder.
"By the way, the people in Qatar are threatening to destroy you. You have to be careful. I feel that people in the Middle East are really capable of this."
"Ha, I'm not afraid."
"There are many people who say this. If they really dare to be cruel to me, I will make them cut off their descendants!" Luo Wu suddenly showed his fierce look.
"No one can stop us from advancing to the finals! We will attack them at the beginning! We will stun them."
…
Europe, London, Emirates Stadium.
Arsenal plays Chelsea at home.
This London derby was exciting, with both sides scoring a total of 7 goals.
In the end Arsenal won the final victory.
The Norwegian scored again, two more.
Led Arsenal to defeat Chelsea 4:3 and continue to stay at the top of the Premier League.
After the game, the proud Norwegian Haaland spoke wildly again.
"I'm happy to have scored two more goals, but for me, two goals are not enough. I should have scored more."
"I can do it!"
"I have the ability to make everyone forget about the captain for a while."
Isn’t this emotional intelligence a bit low?
Chi Guoguo wants to replace Luo Wu?
But this guy scored 9 goals in a total of four games! How perverted.
The efficiency is close to that of Luo Wu.
The media is outrageous again.
The Times - The Norwegian has proven once again that he can be just as good as Luo Wu, does it look like Arsenal should really let Luo Wu go?
"Daily Mail" - The new king Haaland, if I were the owner of Arsenal, I would definitely sell Luo Wu immediately. The cost-effectiveness is already in front of me, so why don't I still make a choice?
"Manchester Evening News" - Clark earned 250 million by selling Luo Wu, and then saved 20 million pounds in salary, but Arsenal's attacking power has not declined. This is a sure-profit deal!
The media all suggested that Clark sell Luo Wu?
I don’t know if I’m trying to trick Clark, but it seems to make sense...
