Chapter 205: Two Crowns in Four Days

Arsenal won the FA Cup, and three days later, they ushered in the last round of the league.

Before the start of this game, officials from the Premier League and the English Football Association had already arrived.

The trophy was also delivered to Arsenal, and for this reason, Arsenal specially added a trophy display before the start.

The trophy was placed in the middle of the player's tunnel, and Arsenal could hold the trophy regardless of victory or defeat.

In this game, Arsenal also played with all the main players.

Facing Burnley, who had no desire to fight after struggling to stay in the league, the two sides seemed to have negotiated something, and this game was more like an exhibition match without any meaning.

Luka, Giroud, Aubameyang, Dembele, Hummels and others were all placed on the bench.

This was to prepare for the Champions League final, and most of the games were played with substitutes.

Although Arsenal still had the bonus of an unbeaten record, Mourinho did not particularly value this, or to the extent that he had to force it.

Mourinho is a supporter of the theory of results.

No matter how good or bad the process is, as long as he wins the championship, that's all.

For this reason, he is destined not to play in this kind of exhibition match again, and to make some decisions against his heart in order to please some people.

However, even when he came on as a substitute, Arsenal still firmly controlled the situation of the game.

In addition, when Arsenal was not under pressure, the players performed even better.

However, the goal did not appear for a long time. It was not until the 81st minute that Mane helped Arsenal score a goal and established the victory of the game.

After this goal, the game basically lost suspense.

Burnley had already completed relegation, and they had no motivation to play, and they were all waiting for a holiday.

For this reason, both sides stopped fighting, and the last few minutes were garbage time.

When the game was over, the cheers of the entire Emirates Stadium roared again.

The commentator Georgia shouted excitedly at the time: "In four days, Arsenal has won two championship trophies. Although we have won the championship two rounds in advance, it is still so exciting and thrilling to face this trophy ceremony."

Just like the previous FA Cup, Lucky once again represented Arsenal to win their league trophy.

Amid the confetti and fireworks, the whole of London has been rendered red and white.

Arsenal is currently the most powerful club in London.

Spurs next door looked at the lively Emirates Stadium, and they were also extremely jealous, secretly thinking about giving the other side a good look in the Champions League final.

The whole trophy ceremony did not last too long.

Because there was still the Champions League final and various interview tasks, it ended quickly.

Or, they did not insist too much, after all, the season is not over yet.

For Arsenal players and fans, they still have the last and most valuable championship to win.

Now they are still holding back.

In the post-match interview, Lucky was entangled by a kind of media.

Facing the media, Lekai smiled and said: "This is a crazy season. Even if we get this honor, we feel extremely proud and proud. I believe that with the encouragement of these trophies, we can have a better performance."

"But it is still not the time to relax. After all, we still have the Champions League to play, which is the highlight."

After that, Lekai turned around and left.

As for the other players who were interviewed, they followed the same method. Although they were interviewed, they would not say too much.

Everything will be discussed after the Champions League is over.

After the trophy ceremony, the Arsenal players went home. In the next two weeks, they need to prepare for the Champions League final.

At the same time, Dembele was in some distress.

"Is there no movement from the club yet?"

Dembele asked anxiously.

His agent shook his head and said: "For now, there is no movement, but this is not something that Arsenal can easily solve."

In Arsenal's half season, Dembele's heart has also quietly changed.

Since returning to Barcelona to prove himself, his current idea is to stay in Arsenal and fight with his teammates as a real gunner.

But his contract is a difficult problem to solve.

First of all, Dembele is Barcelona's most expensive transfer fee at present.

At that time, Barcelona invested 400 million in him, which also means that Barcelona will not let him go without sufficient funds.

And there are still several years left on his contract, and the initiative is in the hands of Barcelona.

Of course, there are ways, after all, there are more than one or two players who broke up with the club for transfers.

But the problem is that Arsenal needs to take action.

Arsenal did not move, and everything on his side was just fantasy.

Just when Dembele was a little anxious, the doorbell suddenly rang.

"Do you have a guest?"

The agent asked.

Dembele shook his head.

The agent walked over to open the door, and two figures holding umbrellas appeared at the door. They were Mourinho and team manager Martin Hughes.

"Coach?" Dembele shouted in surprise.

Mourinho shook his umbrella and placed it diagonally at the door, then said, "Let's talk inside."

After quickly inviting the two people into the house, the agent made two cups of hot coffee for them to cool off.

Mourinho took a sip and went straight to the point: "Yesterday, we made a tentative offer to Barcelona!"

Hearing this, Dembele's eyes lit up.

"What did they say?"

Mourinho looked at Dembele and said: "They refused."

Dembele smiled bitterly because he had already guessed it.

"Can I know how much the offer is?"

Mourinho: "500 million!"

Dembele grinned.

Although there is no loss, Barcelona will not be tempted by this little money based on Dembele's performance in Arsenal.

"So, we are going to increase our second round of offer to 700 million, but it will not be higher than 800 million in the end. This is our bottom line."

Mourinho said; "If they still don't let him go, we really have no choice."

Dembele and his agent looked at each other, and they didn't say anything.

Mourinho obviously wouldn't look for them because of these things.

Sure enough, Mourinho took another sip of coffee and said, "If you are interested in us, then you have to pay something, or make some statements."

"I know it's risky, but this is the only way to get you to join us."

Dembélai pursed his lips and said, "Do I need to contact Barcelona's senior management to express my willingness?"

Mourinho said indifferently, "If necessary, it may be more excessive than this."

Hearing this, Dembélai was silent.

If he was not forced to do so, he really didn't want to go this far.

Seeing the other party's silence, Mourinho said, "I need to make it clear to you first. Next season, we will not extend the lease contract."

Dembélai was startled and subconsciously said, "Why? Is my performance not good?"

Mourinho did not speak.

But Dembélai soon understood.

Yes!

Arsenal will not make wedding clothes for others. The better Dembélai's performance, what does this have to do with Arsenal? It can't even bring them rewards.

Mourinho is not so stupid to train players from other clubs.

The original loan was to cope with the fierce multi-line battle. Now that they have survived and Dembélai has performed so well, Arsenal cannot continue.

Mourinho cannot do such a stupid thing as training a loaned player and suppressing his own players at the same time.

And in a way, Mourinho is also forcing Dembélai to express his position.

Even more bluntly, Mourinho hopes that Dembélai will go back and forth to make a fuss, the bigger the better, so that the other party does not want to renew the contract with him, and even wants to drive him away.

In this way, Arsenal can get a bargain and even have the hope of facilitating this transfer.

Mourinho did not urge, and Dembélai was silent.

After a long time, Dembélai sighed; "I still need to think about it."

Mourinho nodded; "It doesn't matter, I don't mean to ask you to express your position, everything depends on your wishes."

After that, Mourinho got up and patted his butt and left.

After watching Mourinho leave, Dembele felt even more conflicted.
