NOVEL WEB Chapter 51
The old man was very angry.
"Arsene, it's been 21 years, what are you still holding on to? Seeing the fans scolding you, I really don't think your persistence is worth it. You should have left that damn place a long time ago."
"You have stayed here all your life, but they still treat you like this. I really want to kill them for you."
"It's been 21 years. What you can't get is still not available. Why continue to struggle in that bad environment? Isn't it happier to go out with me!"
On the phone, when Wenger heard his good friend David Dein complain more than once about why he didn't quit, he always smiled and answered him calmly:
"Okay, Dein, if you just want to complain to me about these useless nonsense, then I advise you to go to bed early. , I am very busy and have no time to listen to your and the fans' complaints.
"For so many years, I don't care about their attitude."
"I know you are always like this. I received a message here. Pochettino is very optimistic about a teenager from Monaco in Ligue 1. I also investigated him for you. After watching his game, I think that if you want to win the championship, you may still lack him!"
"Monaco? Oh, don't joke, Mbappe is not the person I need most now, he is not good enough."
Hearing the other party say this, Wenger first thought of the talented teenager in Ligue 1. Although he has expressed his optimism and love for this young man in public more than once, to be honest, he is still reluctant to buy him at a high price.
In his heart, there is only one best striker in France, that is his former beloved disciple, Henry.
Unfortunately, for so many years, he has trained so many people, but none of them can have the potential like him. Mbappe may grow up, but obviously he can't wait for that day.
He deeply understood that although he often stood on the sidelines, he was getting further and further away from the green field.
People really can't refuse to accept old age.
If it weren't for his faith, if it weren't for that breath, he would never have held on to see his old opponent retire, and he would still have to face the cold criticism of countless fans.
"No, no, no, the person I'm talking about is not Mbappe. His name is Jonas Leiming. In order to get him, Pochettino has even made a bet with the top management, saying that if he still can't win the championship with him, then he is willing to give up his annual salary and continue to work for Tottenham for free for another year."
"Oh? Is he crazy? Or is the Tottenham management crazy? How can there be such a bet? Is he a striker or a midfielder? Is he a defender?"
"No, no, no, none of them. He is a goalkeeper, a gifted goalkeeper, a goalkeeper who I think can wash away all your resentment. Go watch his game. I believe you will like him."
"Of course, before watching the game, you can take a look at the information film I sent you. Don't say I didn't help you!"
Soon, David Dein hung up the phone, and Wenger clicked on the information sent by the other party in front of the computer in the office.
Soon, the clear lens reflected a tall figure who kept blocking high and low on the green field.
Arsene Wenger took just over an hour to go from not caring and careless at first to his eyes glowing with blazing light.
..........
On February 2, the 32nd match of the French Cup kicked off, and Monaco went to challenge the French Ligue 2 team Chablay away.
In this game, in order to continue to let the main players rest, Jardim once again sent out a semi-main substitute lineup. Lei Ming was arranged to be on the substitute list to watch Subasic's performance on the field.
In this game, Mbappe and Thomas Lima led the front line, while Falcao, Gilman, B Silva, Moutinho, and Fabinho all got rest time.
At the beginning of the game, Monaco firmly grasped the rhythm, and had a style of taking the initiative, which directly pressed Chablay to a little breathless.
In fact, the whole first half of the game was also very smooth. Mbappe's performance was as stable as ever. Relying on his personal ability, he scored twice in the first half, and his personal French Cup goal number increased by two more.
Until the 65th minute of the second half, he received another pass from his teammate and scored from a small angle in front of the penalty area.
Although it was just a game against Ligue 2, he was very excited to have scored a hat trick in the first game. He ran to the bench and wanted to slide on his knees in front of Lei Ming.
, it's just a pity that the quality of the grass on this field is not good, which directly caused him to eat grass instead of sliding on his knees.
"Fuck, can you take it easy, don't you look at the quality of this ground, what if you get hurt!"
"Hahaha, happy!"
Mbappe didn't care about Lei Ming's blame, and continued to celebrate with other teammates.
However, he was replaced because of the head coach's protection policy not long after he was happy.
Seeing that the game had come to this time, the team was still leading by three goals, and he used up all the substitutions in one breath.
However, what all the home and away fans did not expect was that a storm came to the battlefield from this moment.
Bean-sized raindrops fell on the field, making the field, which was not very comfortable to begin with, even more muddy.
Perhaps because of contempt, or perhaps because of arrogance, or because of unfamiliarity with the rainy field here, Monaco's performance in the second half was directly beaten to its original form by the arrival of a heavy rain.
In the final moments, Monaco not only failed to hold the score, but was even quickly equalized, which made the home fans on the sidelines excited even in the rain.
Just like the last time Monaco defeated Paris Saint-Germain, the fans of Chablay obviously felt the same way at this time.
After all, the team standing opposite them is Monaco, which is now the second in the French Ligue 1!
In the final moments, the players of Chablay went crazy and launched several waves of fast breaks in succession, which made the proud Monaco lose their footing in the rain. Subasic's performance in this game was also somewhat unsatisfactory, perhaps because of the rain, or because he had not played for too long, which made him score three goals in a row.
For this reason, he was annoyed and beat the grass several times in a row, full of reluctance!
This damn weather, this damn game, and his own damn performance.
But fortunately, Chablay did not perform a miracle. In the final injury time, the two sides went back and forth, and still could not score any more goals.
In the end, the two sides tied at 3:3. The French Cup has always been an elimination game. In the end, the two sides had to use a penalty shootout to decide the winner.
A good game was played like this by the players. Jardim was so angry on the sidelines!
These substitutes really make people worry.
Although the French Cup was not in his plan, they were second in the league anyway, and they couldn't lose the face they should earn. Wouldn't they be laughed at by everyone if they played like this?
Fortunately, in the final penalty shootout, Subasic finally withstood the pressure and saved two key penalties in succession, allowing the team to advance smoothly.
