Chapter 30 Stingy Wenger
I've never said this before, but everyone knows that Zhao is our number one core. When we need him to score, he puts the ball in the net. When we need him to supply ammunition to the front line, he becomes a terrifying midfielder.
We are very happy to have such a player! This victory belongs to all of us, but Zhao... without him, we all know what terrible things would happen!"
Farke was no longer hiding anything, praising his disciple without reservation.
"When will we be able to see Zhao?" a reporter asked curiously. It had been so many games, why was it always Wright, or even Mendy, who met with reporters, instead of that amazing Zhao Gang?
Farke was a little embarrassed. Wright took the microphone and asked back, "What, you don't want to see me?"
Although he didn't answer the reporter's question, he skillfully shifted the topic, "Don't even think about using these little tricks to destroy our harmony!"
Wright spoke and laughed, while Farke kept shaking his head.
It was time to bring Zhao Gang out to face these reporters.
After all, next season, he would likely go to a higher stage, where he would face even more tricky situations.
He had to adapt in advance.
Unlike the consecutive victories in the English Championship, which didn't garner much attention.
This time, Norwich's victory over Dortmund caused quite a stir!
Because although Dortmund was not a super giant, it was still a quasi-giant.
Moreover, with its full strength, it was beaten to a pulp!
"The former Bundesliga champion, Dortmund, who is currently second in the Bundesliga, was defeated by an English Championship team. Where is the problem?"
"Is Tuchel really suitable for this team?"
"A genius forward playing as a midfielder, three assists and one goal, defeated Dortmund!"
"Kagawa Shinji is lackluster, the Dragon Country teenager rises!"
Zhao Gang didn't particularly like the last news item.
It felt like he was trying to leech off Kagawa Shinji's fame.
Right now, his reputation was still somewhat lacking compared to Kagawa Shinji.
Zhao Gang didn't continue to think about it, he added all the system points he had earned to passing.
Just as he was about to check his full attribute rating, the system's voice suddenly came.
"Congratulations to the host for defeating the powerful opponent Dortmund, and obtaining a 100% attribute rating card. This card can instantly increase any attribute rating to 100 points, permanently effective!"
"When the host defeats a powerful opponent, there is a chance to trigger a system reward!"
Zhao Gang's eyes widened. There was such a god-level card that could increase any attribute rating to 100 points?
This must be the first victory over a super powerful opponent, and the first win reward was so luxurious.
Now that he had such a thing, he had to use it quickly.
Passing was already at 71, so using it on passing would be a waste.
Using it on set pieces and dribbling was obviously the most suitable.
Zhao Gang hesitated, thinking back and forth, and finally decided to use it on set pieces.
He had previous experience with set-piece game-winners, a major weapon that could truly change the game and decide the outcome!
After using the card, Zhao Gang glanced at his full attributes.
"Physique, 74. Stamina, 78. Passing, 71. Dribbling, 37. Interception, 30.
Shooting, 100. Heading, 5. Set pieces, 100, Speed 66."
Now, he could take set pieces on the field, without having to use an experience card like before, and then find an excuse to say that he was in good shape at the time.
Zhao Gang was overjoyed and ran to the training ground.
He wanted to test his set-piece skills as soon as possible.
Because there was no goalkeeper defending and no defenders interfering, Zhao Gang brought some cardboard cutouts to use as a wall in front of him.
These training dummies couldn't stop Zhao Gang's free kicks at all.
Direct free-kick shots from the edge of the penalty area had an incredibly high hit rate.
Only twice did he hit the goal frame because he was too focused on the angle.
Then he kept moving backwards, each time being able to see the probability of different routes.
He could almost always find a 100% scoring route, and his gentle yet powerful shots always perfectly entered the goal along the route!
It wasn't until he retreated forty meters away that the probability fluctuated, reaching about 95%.
When he stood there and kicked the ball onto the crossbar, Farke, who had been watching from the office, held his head.
My God!
When did he develop this free-kick technique?
It had only been a short time, and not only had his passing greatly improved, but even his free-kick technique, which was the most demanding, had reached this level?
He couldn't help but shake his head. This kind of talent was indeed unmatched. He felt that his introduction of Perrin to Zhao Gang was the right choice.
Norwich would treat Zhao Gang as a king, but would also limit Zhao Gang.
He deserved better!
But... don't go to those better teams.
Farke looked at his desk, on which was a rather strange offer.
Ten million and one pounds, just a little bit higher than Zhao Gang's release clause.
This was simply a huge insult to Zhao Gang.
Wenger had already made an offer to Norwich half a month ago.
Two million pounds, but Norwich simply didn't negotiate.
Wenger raised the price, the shameless old guy adding ten thousand at a time.
Finally, Norwich's management was so angry.
They told him that only triggering the release clause could take Zhao Gang away, otherwise, no deal!
So Wenger did this kind of immoral thing!
Wenger's name combined with Arsenal's foundation was indeed much stronger than Norwich.
Except for true superstars, those first-class stars would be tempted when they received an offer from Wenger.
What's more, Wenger was best at discovering young talents and shaping young players.
Under him, young people could get very broad development.
Moreover, as an English Championship player, being able to go to the Premier League stage all of a sudden was a super huge attraction!
Farke sneered at Wenger's stingy behavior.
But thinking about it, Wenger was really suitable for Zhao Gang.
But the management didn't think Wenger was suitable for Zhao Gang.
The management thought whoever offered the highest price was suitable for Zhao Gang.
The reason why Farke got Wenger's offer was naturally because the management gave it to him.
From the moment the management knew that Zhao Gang had signed with Perrin, they realized that Zhao Gang would leave soon.
Norwich simply couldn't keep such a talent!
But they had to make a big profit!
Triggering the release clause could take Zhao Gang away, but this required Zhao Gang's consent!
So club chairman Claude gave Farke a task.
Convince Zhao Gang to help the team earn as much money as possible.
Even a stingy coach manager like Wenger could offer so much money, what about other teams?
They must be discussing it, maybe they could sell him for twenty or thirty million!
Farke had only seen so many transfer fees in the news.
But now, he thought it was really possible for it to appear in his team!
But he didn't want to put pressure on Zhao Gang. From the beginning, he had regarded Zhao Gang as his most proud disciple.
As a head coach, contacting an agent for Zhao Gang was proof of his love for Zhao Gang.
Now, he wouldn't persuade Zhao Gang to help the team fight for more transfer fees.
However, he would still tell Zhao Gang what the management meant.
After all, Zhao Gang had indeed become famous here, and the decision was up to him.
