This is not the first time Top and Wenger have played against each other.
In the distant Sanya king season.
Bayer Leverkusen and Arsenal meet in the Champions League group stage.
The pharmaceutical company lost miserably 1-4 to the luxurious arsenal with Vieira, Bergkamp, Henry and many other stars.
The feud between the two families is not deep.
Because Top worked hard in the subsequent games, and on the premise of controlling the points advantage, he defeated Juventus and Arsenal.
Leverkusen finally qualified with Depor.
Which Depor?
It’s that middle-lower Spanish club, Deportivo La Coruña.
It's just that it was "Super Depor" back then.
How strong was it during that period? It broke the dominance of Real Madrid and Barcelona in La Liga.
Including staging the most incredible reversal in the history of the European Champions Cup, eliminating AC Milan who were at their peak!
...
Leverkusen and Arsenal have a good relationship.
Many fans also believe that Leverkusen is the Arsenal of the Bundesliga.
The two clubs have many similarities: their playing style is smooth, their offense is sharp, they miss key moments, and the team's psychological quality is not strong... They both have young and energetic players.
In addition, Wenger sends a faxed offer letter to Leverkusen every year, but he just can't afford it.
This kind of cross-league club friendship.
The media from the Bundesliga and the Premier League are embarrassed to use cartoons to mock each other.
...
Bayer Leverkusen first team accommodation.
The shadow of the module furnace appeared in front of Li Kang.
The system prompt sounds quietly:
[The modules of "Punch Out", "Heaven's Gate" and "Elegant Fatty" can be synthesized. Should they be integrated now? 】
[Are you sure you want to throw in these three complete modules? Don’t!]
【Integrating...】
Must be integrated!
If these three modules are left on his body, he will turn into a "Fat Buu".
The furnace churned violently.
The billowing black fog filled the air with madness.
As far as Li Kang could see, there was boundless darkness.
【Integration successful!】
[Congratulations to the host for getting: Harvey’s “circle” module! 】
[There is no problem that cannot be solved by spinning in circles! If there is, then spin twice!]
[Everyone can learn it, but no one can learn it!]
This is La Masia's magical skill.
Every young player in the youth training knows the essentials of the movements, but they just can't use them as proficiently as Xavi in actual combat.
Cruyff's turn is a static escape technique, but its disadvantage is that it slows down the offensive rhythm.
The V-shaped ball pull is a dynamic one-on-one skill, but the disadvantage is that it cannot get rid of multiple interceptions.
Xavi's circle rotation is an option between the two, which is in line with the team's tactical system of passing and controlling, and is contrary to Leverkusen's tactics that require speed and impact.
Of course, if combined with physical advantages, different effects may occur.
....
The war is about to begin.
Li Kang, accompanied by his assistant, came to the branch of Veltins Company in Gelsenkirchen.
The purpose is to sign a new advertising endorsement contract renewal contract.
By the way, look at Claudia.
From a work perspective, the two do not need to meet at all. Ms. Sandra is the signing representative of Veltins' business cooperation.
It's just that Li Kang felt that the shadow in his brain had not shown any signs of activity for a long time, and the ghosts of the legendary modules in the game... appeared less and less frequently.
I need to find a girl in a wheelchair to "recharge my batteries".
Only in front of her will he regain the emotions that a normal person should have.
....
"Ms. Sandra, why did you temporarily add an additional clause: no advertising with other women for one year?"
"Isn't it even weirder than Barcelona's contract that doesn't let Suarez bite?"
"From a long-term perspective, it is not conducive to Li's subsequent commercial endorsements..."
"We can't sign this renewal contract. You didn't even tell us about this in advance! It's too casual! Where is your professionalism?"
The assistant's face turned red and she accused angrily.
Ms. Sandra maintained a professional smile, placed her index finger on the contract amount column, and said slowly: "We have added money."
The little assistant was stunned and wanted to take out a magnifying glass to count how many zeros there were on the amount!
Oh, God!
The Veltins Group is so wealthy!
"plum..."
Li Kang nodded.
It doesn't matter to him. Too frequent advertising endorsements during the growth period will only take up his training time.
Professional players are not entertainers. Sustained and stable game performance is the basis for making money.
.....
The contract signing ends.
Li Kang met Claudia.
The girl in the wheelchair still had no blood on her face and her lips were pale.
He handed over a football.
The other party lacks nothing and has nothing to give.
He can only give away the match ball he received when he scored his first hat-trick in the Bundesliga.
Claudia said nothing and held the football in her arms.
The two looked at Gelsenkirchen under reconstruction through the floor-to-ceiling windows.
After a long time.
The shadows on Li Kang's brain closed crazily.
He just got up to say goodbye.
........
Colney Training Base.
The 66-year-old Wenger put his hands in his pockets and paced back and forth on the sidelines of the training ground.
Assistant coach Bold said: "Inter Milan is asking for 50 million euros... We can't bring Icardi over this winter window. As for Real Madrid's Ronaldo..."
Wenger smiled: "Next summer, we will have money."
Bould spread his hands and complained: "The American boss said the same thing last year. As a result, he spent 9.8 million pounds to buy Cech this summer, which is not as good as the signing expenditure of the English Championship team! You know, we last
The total revenue for the season was 344.5 million pounds! The profit after tax was as high as..."
"The outside world says that the American boss has no blood, so why can't the money in the club's account be moved? Isn't it waiting for the shareholders to distribute profits?"
"The fans and celebrities put all the blame on you! Even if we win 12 games and only lose two games in the 14th round of the Premier League! We still have to accept the abuse!"
Wenger shook his head and gently patted the assistant coach's shoulder: "Where did you hear the false information... The most important thing for us right now is to welcome the Champions League 1/8 knockout rounds."
False news.
How to anger an Arsenal fan in 2015? Just say one thing to him: Protect the best American owner!
Wenger has a much heavier responsibility at Arsenal than many famous coaches.
The Emirates Stadium, in a sense, was built by him alone.
Without any financial help, even every chair in the stands was saved.
No one wants to sell the captain.
Building a stadium is always the most nerve-wracking thing.
For example, Atletico Madrid in La Liga... built a stadium and almost fell from La Liga to La Liga C.
Wenger can hold on to the Champions League every year, and even reached the Champions League final in the 2005-06 season, which is already great.
No matter how much you do, you still have to suffer abuse from fans, celebrities, and former disciples.
From a long-term perspective, Arsenal has no choice but to build a stadium.
Highbury's capacity limits the club's development. If it wants to maintain its status as a giant, it is imperative to have a modern stadium that can accommodate more spectators.
It's really not stingy.
If you are stingy, who will build a stadium?
If he were replaced by another head coach and he coached for a year and a half and the results were not good, he would just leave.
Over the past twenty years, many wealthy clubs have offered an olive branch to Wenger...
"As a player, I lost to Cruyff."
"After coaching, whether it's Monaco or Arsenal, I can always meet Barcelona."
"Even today's Leverkusen, the core of the midfield comes from La Masia."
"They are a test that I must go through."
.....
The Champions League 1/8 knockout rounds are coming.
Li Kang and his teammates took a plane and headed to North London.
