Chapter 376 Who is Arsenals new coach? (Daily transition)
During this historical period, the Premier League is reforming towards the "mainland football system".
In the Premier League BIG6, four clubs have established the position of sports director.
This position also requires spending money to select talents from wealthy clubs such as La Liga, Serie A, and Bundesliga.
Manchester City did a great job in this regard.
They invited two of Guardiola's partners at Barcelona at their peak: Soriano and Begiristain.
Soriano controls the club's development strategy.
Begiristain was responsible for helping piece together the "Dynasty Blueprint."
Chelsea is different. As the earliest pioneer to implement the mainland football system, they attach great importance to the discovery of young players. The task of the sports director is not entirely to recruit players for immediate combat, but to carry out the "Blue Planet Project" all over the world.
Because of the existence of "Financial Fair Play", Chelsea sold many talented players so that they could spend uncontrollably in the transfer market.
Liverpool's sporting director is very bitter. His role is more like a buffer zone between Klopp and the club's senior management, allowing the two to communicate more effectively.
...
Arsenal recently purged Wenger's right-hand man, Dick Lowe.
They finally welcomed the first sporting director in the club's history - Robert.
Which Robert?
That year he sold Li Kang to Robert Leverkusen for one million installments.
This decision has not become a stain on his career. If we put aside the consequentialism, this guy signed Umtiti, Andre Gomez, Turan in Barcelona's Dream Four blueprint, and also left Barcelona with Long-term signing arrangement: Dortmund's Dembele, Liverpool's Coutinho, Atletico Madrid's Griezmann.
Brought a bunch of super shining new football stars to Barcelona!
It's just that the prices are a bit expensive.
Manchester City leads the way, followed by Arsenal.
Barcelona's management talents have already proven their strength in Intihad.
...
Arsenal Chairman's Office.
Sir Keswick is worried that the battle for ownership of the club is too confusing.
At the recent shareholders' meeting, 200 Arsenal shareholders frantically impeached him and Kroenke's son.
"Do you have any suggestions for the selection of the new head coach?"
In recent years, Arsenal's senior management has always chosen the head coach for next season in March, but Wenger has always been able to use results... to extend his life.
"Tuchel?"
"Emery?"
"Van Gaal?"
"Enrique?"
"Rogers?"
Gazidis shook his head: "I think we can understand Mr. 200 million's opinion. He..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Jazz in a harsh tone.
"Arsenal letting a player decide on the head coach? What a joke!"
"Robert, what do you think?"
Robert straightened his tie, looked serious, and handed a black folder to the CEO and chairman respectively.
"It contains an analysis of Mr. Enrique's first season at Barcelona."
"His tactical style fits very well with the legacy Wenger left behind."
"Transmission control."
"Low defense."
"Set-piece improvements."
"It was he who inspired the strong firepower of Barcelona MSN and completed the replacement of the 'Habaib' midfield combination..."
"Arsenal needs a coach with experience coaching a super wealthy club!"
Robert's tone was enthusiastic and his eyes showed expectation: "His salary is not high."
Sir Kiswick nodded with satisfaction: "I know that many legendary players have praised Enrique lavishly and praised him, saying that he is a great tactician. That person even wrote their praise for him in his autobiography.
"
"Among these four people, Enrique really has the most brilliant qualifications!"
"He dared to put Messi on the bench, so courageous!"
"Manchester United has Mourinho, Manchester City has Guardiola, Arsenal has Enrique, twenty years of reincarnation, a fateful story born in the cradle of football, this is called the competition for famous coaches in the Premier League."
"Modernization! Arsenal needs a modern and advanced management system!"
"Emery's salary is too high, let's have an in-depth chat with Enrique! I want to meet him very much!"
The corners of Gazidis' mouth twitched, and he realized that he couldn't get a word in.
Forget it, I am going to AC Milan next season anyway, and it has nothing to do with me how to reform the arsenal.
I just have some feelings for Wenger: rebuilding the youth training base, building the youth training system, building the Emirates Stadium, taking on heavy loans...leading a mediocre lineup to compete for fourth place every year...until now, they are unable to enjoy the fruits of victory accumulated over the years.
Robert was very interested and kept talking: "I have another suggestion. When Li first joined, Wenger did not ask for his image rights... We can discuss this matter with Li's agency again about his commercial value.
..”
"no!"
Sir Kiswick and Gazidis objected in unison.
Arsenal's top brass are not short-sighted idiots.
"No need to discuss this matter!"
"I'm going to give Li a fucking salary increase, but you want to cut off his image rights?"
...
Imbilia, city of Gijon.
Enrique, who was idle at home, did not lie down. Three small whiteboards were set up in the study room, and they were covered with dense lines and numbers.
"Arsenal's lineup is far inferior to Barcelona's."
"The Premier League is only as competitive as it gets."
Poor King Kong Matador, he has no idea how terrifying Manchester City, Liverpool and Manchester United will be next season.
Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
Van Gaal was on the phone with his agent Gerlins: "Tottenham want to fire Pochettino? How stupid! Tell Levy that I have no interest in White Hart Lane and the money they gave is too little!"
"Arsenal's wages are also very low? Tell Sir Keswick that I, Louis van Gaal, don't care about money!"
"If Wenger really leaves Arsenal, I will be the only one in Europe who knows how to cooperate with Lee!"
...
The FA Cup semi-finals in the 2016/17 season have the most luxurious lineup in 18 years, and there is no dark horse.
Arsenal VS Tottenham.
Manchester City vs Chelsea.
The audience is more optimistic about Arsenal because the FA Cup is also called the "Thermos Cup".
Whenever Wenger is on the verge of dismissal and faces a fierce "cooling storm"... he can always use an FA Cup championship to "extend his life."
Coincidentally: the FA Cup semi-finals are held in the afternoon, which coincides with the time of Li Kang's exam.
Wen Geli overcame all objections and decided to let Li Kang take the exam.
...
In Grange Park, the clouds cover the sunset, and the leaves enjoy the glow.
Li Kang walked out of the examination center.
The questions are not too difficult and there is no pressure.
The assistant waited for a long time and quickly pulled Li into the business car.
"The time is just right."
"We and Tottenham were tied 0-0 within 90 minutes, and it was also a draw in overtime! The penalty shootout will begin soon!"
"Not long after the game started, Son Xingmin created a penalty kick, but it was snatched away by Lamela. The two had a quarrel, and Lamela missed the penalty kick!"
"It's so dangerous!"
"Welbeck also missed an empty-net chance."
"I'm most afraid of watching penalty shootouts!"
Li Kang took the tablet and listened to the roars of the fans through the screen, feeling the hatred between mortal enemies.
The semi-finals and finals are both held at Wembley Stadium in London.
He hopes that Arsenal can advance to the FA Cup final and let himself experience the role of Lingard's "Prince of Wembley" module.
