Chapter 36: Chelsea's Temptation

After the second round, the major national teams also began to move within Brazil. Google search reading

Since they are not playing in one venue, they need to move around frequently.

The Chinese team left Porto Alegre immediately after the second round. Also leaving with the Chinese team were a large number of Chinese fans, which also made the already lively Porto Alegre quiet again. .

The destination of the Chinese team's trip is Curitiba, Brazil, where they will face the defending champion Spain at the Baixada Arena.

After two rounds of group matches, the Spanish team ushered in a miserable start with one draw and one loss.

This also made the entire Spanish fans feel confused and depressed.

This sentiment is not just among fans, but also among players.

For example, some internal conflicts in Spain have been highlighted by major media, and some conspiracy theories have been frequently exposed.

Anyway, the whole of Spain is at the forefront.

Now many people are waiting to see this joke from defending champion Spain.

In the World Cup, there are many cases where the defending champions are eliminated in the group, especially in recent years, it has become like a curse.

France, the defending World Cup champion in 2002, was eliminated in the group stage.

Italy, the defending World Cup champion for 10 years, was eliminated from the group stage.

Now, Spain seems to have broken this championship curse.

For Spain, if they fail to win this game, or even win by a big score to bring back their previous goal difference, it will basically mean they are out.

From this point of view, the pressure in the Netherlands is less.

After all, they are facing Chile and there is not that much pressure to qualify.

The Chinese team is under a lot of pressure.

For the Chinese team, they only need to keep a draw to appear.

But this is easier said than done.

Don't look at the fact that Spain was first massacred by the Netherlands and then tied with Chile.

But judging from the second game, the Matador Corps has made some adjustments and has recovered slightly, as long as no particularly low-level mistakes occur.

Although Xavi, the brains of the team, missed the game due to injuries and the overall lineup is aging, there are still many good players in the team such as Iniesta, Fabregas, Cazorla, and Xabi Alonso.

In the Chinese team’s tactical room, Liu Hongbo looked at the tactical board and said:

"The overall formation is still focused on defense, but defense alone cannot compete with Spain. Their passing and control will penetrate our defense from all angles, so we must also add high-position pressing and midfield strangulation."

After finishing speaking, Liu Hongbo looked at Lucai and said, "Inieste and Cazorla are two important breakthrough points in Spain. I need you to restrict them!"

Lucky nodded.

Lucky is very familiar with Cazorla's style of play.

Although he has never played against Inieste, Spanish players all have similar technical characteristics, and Lucky is also confident in imposing restrictions.

Moreover, only Lucky can restrict the current Chinese team.

"Wang Yi, you need to retreat to make a fulcrum!"

Liu Hongbo said again.

Wang Yi nodded, he had no problem with this arrangement.

Chen Man and Jia Zhenhua are more impactful than themselves, while Wang Yi is characterized by his ability to hold the ball in the frontcourt, as well as his ability to transfer and play the ball.

He is fully qualified for this job. After getting the ball from Lucky, he plays the ball for the two forwards.

"Okay, let's go out for training now and learn about tactical kicking methods."

After Liu Hongbo finished speaking, the players got up and left one after another.

As soon as Le Kai took two steps, Chen Man caught up with him.

"Spain is not easy to play!"

Chen Man said solemnly.

He is more worried about Spain than the Netherlands.

Although Spain's performance in the first two games was very poor, no one can predict how they will perform when facing the Chinese team.

Lucky took a deep breath, waved his hands and said, "Don't think too much, there will always be a solution when the time comes. I feel that after Spain experienced a draw and a loss, maybe it was stunned?"

"Are you confused by being kicked?" Chen Man said thoughtfully; "Casillas seems to be really confused. His performance in these two games was a disaster. If he still starts in the third game"

Thinking of this, Chen Man's eyes started to spin!

This guy has a lot of ideas and is very good at sneak attacks.

When I was in youth training, I often had conflicts with people and even got into fights because of it.

Although he was disgracefully kicked every time, this guy had no intention of improving at all.

At the end of the day's training, Lucky also returned to the room.

Wang Yi walked into the bathroom first to take a shower, and Lucai waited until the sweat subsided before taking a shower.

At this time, Lucky's cell phone rang.

Lucky glanced at the phone and finally picked it up.

"Jonathan, I think you should know that I am playing in the World Cup."

Lucky said directly in English.

The agent Barnett on the other end of the phone smiled bitterly and said, "I'm sorry, but I need to tell you something."

Lucky raised his eyebrows slightly, what made Barnet so anxious?

"Chelsea contacted me and their offer this time was very attractive."

Lucky smiled; "How tempting is it?"

"The highest salary in the team, coupled with various bonus systems, your weekly income will be doubled several times!"

Lucky said in surprise; "Are they really willing to pay this money?"

Barnett: "More than that, they promise that they are willing to pay liquidated damages for you. That is to say, if Arsenal does not let him go, they are willing to pay liquidated damages."

Lucky was silent; "My liquidated damages are 200 million pounds!"

"Yes! They are willing!" Barnett was also extremely helpless.

In today's era when football transfer fees have not yet entered the billion-dollar era, Lucky's transfer is likely to cause huge turmoil.

With a liquidated damages of 200 million, Chelsea is really fighting for Lucky.

"Mourinho again?" Lucky asked.

"No! This time it's their boss! Abu wants you." Barnett said.

Lucky scratched his head and said, "I guess I didn't leave a deep impression on him, right?"

"I don't know, but this time Abramovich came to negotiate in person. He promised a lot, not a lot. If you are willing, you can sign an agreement of intent. If either Chelsea or you renege, the party that reneges must pay The other party’s fee is 50 million.”

Lucky opened his mouth slightly, it seemed that Chelsea was serious.

However, Lucky really has no interest in joining Chelsea.

Even if he was given a lot of money, he still wanted to stay at Arsenal.

He's very happy here.

"Refuse for me, I don't want to leave!"

Hearing Lucky's rejection, Barnett was a little surprised and said, "That's comparable to the highest salary in football!"

Lucky smiled and said, "But this money is not reliable! If I really move to Chelsea, what will the Arsenal fans do to me?"

After a pause, Lucky said in a deep voice; "And I am the captain, Jonathan. Arsenal has experienced too many changes. Every time the fans were injured, I don't want the fans who cheered for me to be sad. In my opinion, this is more important than anything else!”

"Football is not just about money! I don't talk about loyalty either, but at least Arsenal have been very good to me and they have given me everything since I joined here."

"I became the captain of Arsenal at the age of 21. As long as my performance is stable, I will always be the captain of Arsenal for the next ten years!"

"I'm the captain! I have no reason to betray them!"

Listening to Lucky's sonorous and powerful voice, Jonathan was silent for a long time and couldn't help but sigh; "Okay, but you have to understand that this is an opportunity to become a superstar, and you gave it up voluntarily!"

Lucky laughed; "Superstars are never for hype. As long as I win enough championships and my performance is still excellent, then I will be a superstar! It is not obtained through hype, but through competitions and trophies. Come on!"

Barnett shook his head, knowing that he could not persuade him anymore.

"I will have a good talk with Wenger."

Lucai smiled; "Are you asking the professor for money again?"

"Shit! They have to pay half of Chelsea's salary or you fire me!"

After saying that, Barnett hung up the phone directly.

Lucky shook his head and laughed.

On the other side, Wenger directly agreed after receiving a call from Barnett.

"When the World Cup is over, we will re-sign Kai a five-year contract. During this period, Kai's salary will be equal to Louis' first high salary in the team. In the future, when we have paid off the stadium loan and have more sufficient funds, , we will also give him some more!”

After a pause, Wenger said, "We can write this into the contract."
