Chapter 2 Arsenal’s Call (2)

Kearney training base.

Mourinho has entered the office state and has completed the formation of the coaching team.

Except for Arteta, the rest of the coaching team are old players who Mourinho used to work with.

Martinez knocked on the door and walked into Mourinho's office.

"Lukaku's agent contacted us and said they would put pressure on the club to try to reduce the transfer fee!"

Martinez added; "Lukaku's desire to join is very strong!"

Mourinho nodded and said: "Lukaku knows very well that Arsenal may be an important opportunity for him to win the championship, or even the only opportunity, so he wants to seize this opportunity."

Martinez nodded and said, "But our transfer cost will increase a bit. 50 million may not be enough!"

Mourinho pondered for a moment and said, "The floating space is controlled within 5 million. If it's more, we will change other people."

"Understood!" Martinez nodded and walked out immediately.

Mourinho stretched his body after the other party walked out.

"It's really more comfortable to work with people who understand football."

Mourinho smiled.

There was no nonsense in the communication between him and Martinez, and the only reference value was the issue of transfer.

Unlike when he was in Manchester United, there were too many things involved in the transfer.

The player's own traffic, fame, market, etc.

Mourinho suspected that Manchester United was not looking for players, but star artists.

Arteta had been sitting next to him. He answered the phone and said, "There's news from Atletico Madrid. They agreed to transfer Jimenez for 22 million euros!" Hearing this, Mourinho couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief and smiled, "The first puzzle has been completed!" "By the way, Kai seems to have not come to the club for a long time!" Mourinho suddenly asked. Arteta: "Kai has returned to his country. After all, it's a holiday. He should go back after playing for a whole season." Mourinho nodded and said, "Just wait until the training camp to return to the team. Let's start with the transfer issue. How is the overall situation?" Arteta: "Except for Lukaku, everything else is going well." "What about Mahrez?" Mourinho asked. Arteta sighed: "Mahrez prefers Manchester City. I don't know what Guardiola said to him or what promises he fulfilled. They are basically finalized now." Mourinho shook his head regretfully. Glasgow, the largest city in Scotland. This is a city located in the west of Scotland, at the mouth of the River Clyde.

The city has a population of 2.3 million, accounting for 41% of the entire Scottish region.

On the dock at the mouth of the Glasgow River, a young man wearing a work cap and a one-piece waterproof suit was pushing a cart full of various fishes.

"Make way! Make way!"

The young man's clear voice was very flexible, pushing the cart in the crowd, and moving very flexibly.

Finally, the young man came to a stall.

"The goods have arrived, 500 pounds, pay now!" The young man smiled and stretched out his hand.

The owner of the stall smiled and took money out of his pocket, saying; "Little Robertson, you should do business, you will become a successful businessman!"

Robertson shrugged and said; "I'm only interested in football!"

The boss paid the money, and Robertson poured all the fish in front of the stall.

The boss waved his fist and said, "Keep working hard next season! Try to join a big club!"

"Hey! Just wait and see!" Robertson grinned and left with a brisk pace.

Andrew Robertson, a full-back player playing for Hull City.

Old Robertson works as a fisherman. Although the salary of young Robertson is enough for them to live, they still haven't given up their jobs.

And young Robertson also came back home to help during the holidays.

"Dad, a total of 500 pounds, I made a fortune today!"

Robertson smiled at a bearded, rough, and fat man.

Old Robertson took the money and said, "You should go to training, not move goods here!"

Robertson shrugged: "This is also training! You don't understand!"

Old Robertson shook his head and said, "Let's go home, Mom stewed fish soup!"

"I like fish soup the most!"

After that, the father and son left the port side by side.

In a cozy house, Robertson just came out of the shower and smelled a fresh fish soup.

Robertson walked to the TV and turned it on.

"Transfer news, Arsenal is negotiating with Everton about Lukaku's joining. The two sides are making good progress. We may see Lukaku wearing the Gunners jersey next season!"

"Mahrez is infinitely close to Manchester City, Guardiola is the biggest contributor"

"Chelsea is in contact"

Looking at the phone, Robertson whispered; "All transfer news from the giants"

After a pause, he said; "So what are the feelings of those players who received the notice? What is it like to play in a giant?"

Robertson debuted at Queen's Rangers Park, and then transferred to the English Championship team Dundee United. In 2014, he joined Hull City.

Although Robertson has a high starting point, his performance so far has not been favored by the wealthy.

For all players, the wealthy are unstoppable.

Not only those high salaries, but also honors and competitiveness.

For Robertson, his most unforgettable season was the 2014-2015 season.

That time when they faced Arsenal, the feeling of powerlessness in his heart almost made him go crazy.

At the same time, Arsenal's performance in the Champions League surprised him even more.

At that time, he was thinking about what it would be like to play with such a team.

But for most players, a wealthy club is an unthinkable place.

The wealthy family is there!

His threshold is right there, but there are only a few people who can join it.

Robertson doesn't think he will be the lucky one. He will be more like most people, playing working games in civilian teams. His entire career cannot be called brilliant, but it is not ugly either.

"Andrew, it's time to eat!"

Suddenly, my mother's voice came from the kitchen.

Robertson turned off the TV and shouted; "Here we come!"

In the evening, the family was sitting at the dining table having dinner.

"Did the club say they would give you a salary increase? Your performance last season was very good, and Roddy said they would give you a higher salary." Old Robertson said.

Robertson smiled bitterly and said: "How can there be such an honor? The club's financial situation is not good recently. It is impossible for them to give me a salary increase. It would be great if they don't sell me!"

Old Robertson sighed; "So, it is better for a wealthy team to not just buy the main players casually!"

Robertson; "How can a wealthy club be so easy to join! I have thought about it. If the overall situation of the club is still the same this season, then I will seek a transfer next season."

"It's time to go!"

Winter winter winter!

There was a fierce knock on the door.

All three were startled.

Robertson's mother sighed; "Rody is always so frizzy!"

Roddy is Robinson's uncle and his manager.

"I'll open the door!"

Robertson stood up and walked to the door to open it.

As soon as the door was opened, a figure rushed in.

This was a tall man. His hands were tightly holding Robertson's shoulders, his breathing was extremely rapid, and his whole face was red from holding back.

He just stared at Robertson.

Old Robertson frowned and stood up, shouting: "Rody, what are you doing?"

Rody looked away, looked at Robertson Sr., then pointed at Robertson, and immediately his whole body began to tremble.

He knelt directly on the ground, raised his hands in the air, and said with fanaticism;

"I can't believe it, Andrew Andrew"

"What's wrong with Andrew?" Robertson's mother asked with worry on her face.

At this time, Roddy shouted excitedly with a trembling voice; "Andrew is going to the Emirates Stadium! -"

The whole room suddenly became quiet.

Robertson himself stood directly in front of the wall, his mouth slightly raised, his eyes full of disbelief;

"Where am I going?"

Robertson's voice trembled.

Rody stood up, grabbed the opponent's shoulders and shouted loudly: "Boy! You are going to join a wealthy club!

Arsenal has made you an offer, and Hull City has also agreed to the offer. You can report directly to the Colney training base before the game!

"

"God!

You get to play with stars like Kay, Wilshere, and Aubameyang!

This is simply awesome!
