Chapter 6 Buying, Buying, Buying
Just the day after the warm-up match between Porto and Arsenal, some news newspapers and magazines only published the Gunners' warm-up match on the side page.
Super Maple still performs well, and young player James Rodriguez performs well, so such news does not have the ability to dominate the front page news.
After all, Liu Feng performs well almost every week. Perhaps only when he performs poorly will he make it on the front page. As for the young man who is called J Ronaldo by Porto fans, it is even more impossible. After all, his fame is limited to the Portuguese Super League and there is nothing outstanding around the world.
However, these reporters who thought they had a very correct view were slapped in the face that afternoon.
45 million euros, a neat transfer. When the Arsenal club announced at a press conference that the team signed Porto midfielder James Rodriguez, everyone was a little confused.
But as long as you think about it carefully, everything has already emerged. Arsenal's most influential scouts who have inspected Liu Feng have been staying in Portugal and not returning home. They only reappeared on the Emirates Stadium during the Porto warm-up match.
Arsenal and Porto sold tickets publicly, and all ticket revenues belong to the Portuguese super rich families, which is naturally the benefit promised when the Gunners signed the contract with the other party.
In short, these few small news that were once ignored by various media were completely linked together, and the joining of J Ronaldo became a foregone conclusion.
In fact, in addition to Arsenal, there is another team, the Russian rich Monaco, who also gave the same offer to Porto. However, it is obvious that compared to the newly promoted teams in Ligue 1, both Porto and J Ronaldo want to play for the six-time champion and play for the six-time champion.
The day after the announcement of J Ronaldo's joining, this young player with a simple face and a little baby fat came to Arsenal's training base to report that if nothing unexpected happens, he should be the biggest expenditure for Arsenal's recruitment this season.
This young player born in the 1990s was quite nervous standing in front of the big guys. Joining Arsenal was his first time to enter the five major leagues. This step was straightforward. You should know that in front of him, there was at least one Champions League in addition to new players.
"Please, please give me some advice!"
Looking at J Luo bowing in front of him, it goes without saying that the Gunners don't have any big brothers with a particularly high profile, and even if there is, they can't find any fault with the young players in front of him.
Everyone applauded and expressed their welcome to the young man. Then J Luo was taken by the team doctor to conduct various physical tests. After all, the physical examination when signing the contract was not so thorough.
The professor did not ask the players to wait too long. Soon after the dormitory provided by the club was placed in the next day, J Ronaldo officially joined the team and started participating in the training.
On the morning of the same day, the team held an internal training match to test the waters. The midfield combination of J Ronaldo and Rosic and Caszorla and the midfields of Wilshire, Ganso and Ramsey directly faced each other.
In terms of forward line arrangement, the professor specially arranged Liu Feng to the group where J Luo was. The purpose of this arrangement is very obvious. He wanted to see if J Luo could have some chemical reactions with Liu Feng.
Soon, as the game began, the professor was worried about what to do if the midfielder who spent the team and all the terms and conditions were almost 50 million euros and bought it, and he was relieved.
Although their forward line in Viganla midfielder has Neymar, Giroud and Tigers, they are still not as efficient as Liu Feng and J Ronaldo.
It was the time to forget that when Szczesni, who was in charge of guarding the goal, looked back at the goal behind him with a questioning look, he felt like his teammates standing in front were all colanders.
In the 30th minute of the game, under Rosici's intentional handicap, J Ronaldo, who was responsible for the connection of the frontcourt, gave the ball a lightly and sent it behind the opponent's back line that was too forward. Liu Feng suddenly rose and scored a single shot.
Then, ten minutes later, such a goal happened again, but this time it was a straight pass like a scalpel.
In the end, the defenders who were their opponents didn't dare to push them. Whether it was Liu Feng's insertion or J Luo's pass, they were too sudden and direct. If you don't pay attention, you'll be done.
Finally, the training match ended with a 4-1 score. Not only did J Ronaldo get very good with Liu Feng, but Rosici and Caszorla, who cooperated with him, also gave him a thumbs up after the game.
Give the ball to the young man and then start connecting the frontcourt. It can be said that everyone will be able to play and get more relaxed. As long as he can run to the position, he can deliver the ball to the position.
With his performance that is better than that warm-up game, it is even more impossible for the Gunners to not welcome this talented player. The Gunners are not short of geniuses, but there is one more genius among the geniuses, and there is no doubt that J Ronaldo is.
At this point, the team's large-scale signings have come to an end. William and J Ronaldo have spent nearly 90 million euros on Arsenal, and with Carvajal's money, the Gunners have maintained a certain amount of signing expenses this summer window.
However, when the team's youth training team has no talent to transfer to the first team, there are still too few first-team players in the team.
Considering that the team may still have to fight on four fronts in the new season, the professor and the club's transfer manager have begun to introduce some bench players to the transfer window to enhance the thickness of the team.
So, in the following days, several players came to the team one after another.
The young central defender Thiago Ilori, who intercepted the team from Liverpool, spent £7 million in transfer fees on Arsenal, obviously to make up for the rotation of the team's central defender position after Phil Jones left.
In the following week, no news of Arsenal's transfers came, and the players focused on preparing for the new season and played another friendly match with River Plate at Emirates Stadium.
Time keeps passing, the transfer window is slowly coming to an end, and the Premier League is about to kick off, and many fans can't wait to chat online.
At this moment, the Arsenal club joined the line with Bayern Munich, who was eliminated by them in the Champions League semi-final last season.
Just two days later, the midfielder that the professor needed in his heart was settled. Brazilian national team midfielder Gustavo announced his joining Arsenal with a transfer fee of 22 million euros.
