The child was already fast asleep in the cradle, and Arshavin was enjoying the world of two with his wife Yulia when his cell phone rang.
Arshavin ignored the phone. He and his wife Yulia had reached a critical moment.
However, the ringtone of the cell phone continued to ring stubbornly.
Arshavin glanced at the call and saw it was from his agent, Joel Smith.
"It's Joel." Arshavin glanced at his wife apologetically. Agents are the players' closest collaborators. To some extent, they are even closer than their family members. It's so late that his agent
The call, Arshavin knew, must be something very important.
"Is there something that we can't contact during the day?" Yulia, who was lying under her, pinched Arshavin's penis with some displeasure. She wrapped herself in a blanket and went to the bathroom, leaving her personal space to her husband.
She is not an unreasonable person and knows the importance of things.
***********
"Joel, I hope you can give me a reason to call at this time." He answered the phone angrily and blew an apologetic kiss to his wife.
"I'm so sorry, Andre, for calling at this time. But I think I should tell you the news as soon as possible." Agent Smith could guess that he might have disturbed Arshavin's sweet time, but he believed in what he was about to tell you.
The news can make all Arshavin's unhappiness disappear.
As Arshavin's agent, no one understands Arshavin's thoughts better than Joel Smith. He has played for Zenit St. Petersburg for ten years. For Arshavin, who is 26 years old, he will never play in a mainstream European league.
, the opportunity hi will become smaller and smaller in the future.
"Okay, tell me, Joel." Arshavin took his mobile phone and walked to the window. There was white snow outside the window, but the inside of the house was as warm as spring, even a little hot. The heating pipe was very heated, and the wall on this side was warm.
They are all a little hot.
"About ten minutes ago, I received a call from Inter Milan," Joel Smith said.
"Inter Milan?!" Arshavin was stunned, surprise flashed across his eyes, and he asked immediately.
"Yes, Serie A giant Inter Milan!" Joel Smith said, "It's Inter Milan's assistant coach Mr. Pablo Banderas calling."
"Really?" Arshavin replied subconsciously. He was a little disappointed when he heard that it was not a call from Li Ang. It was a call from the assistant coach and a call from the head coach himself. In his opinion, this represented some obscure meaning.
Attitude, of course, the assistant coach also represents the will and attitude of the head coach.
"During the call, Mr. Li Ang also came to communicate with me! He expressed his appreciation for you. He praised you as the best player in Russia and one of the best midfielders in Europe!" Joel Smith knew Arshavin.
Because of some disappointment, he said with a bit of pride and showoff. He was honored that his client could be favored and praised by that championship coach.
***********
"Mr. Li Ang really said that?" Arshavin asked in surprise.
"Of course!" Joel Smith said, "I got news from Inter Milan that they had sent a fax to Zenit St. Petersburg to buy you, but Mr. Advocaat directly rejected it."
"What?" Arshavin was stunned, then angry, "They concealed this matter? Why didn't they notify me?!"
Arshavin is indeed very angry. This is not because he is disloyal to Zenit St. Petersburg. On the contrary, Arshavin has played for Zenit St. Petersburg for ten years and can be said to be loyal, even though Arshavin revealed that he wants to go to a wealthy European club.
However, he did not do it secretly, but confessed his wish to the club. He hoped that the club could understand him. At the same time, if other clubs sent invitations, he hoped to discuss with the club to find a
A solution acceptable to both parties, to a certain extent, is the most appropriate solution.
However, Inter Milan Club sent a purchase intention, but the club directly rejected it without informing him or asking his opinion, which made Arshavin very angry.
"Yes, it's obvious that the club concealed this matter. They don't need to let you go at this time." Joel Smith said, "This violates the tacit agreement between you and the club! I heard it from Mr. Li Ang's words
He admires you very much, Andre, that is Inter Milan, coach Li Ang, the best team, the best coach! Haven't you always been eager to play in a wealthy club? This is an opportunity! An opportunity that cannot be missed!
"
Arshavin fell silent. He understood what his agent meant. The agent understood his thoughts and persuaded him to go to Inter Milan. At the same time, he also hinted that he would put pressure on Zenit St. Petersburg to let him leave.
However, since the youth team, he has been playing for Zenit St. Petersburg since he was young. Arshavin has a deep relationship with the team. He is also the team captain. Although Arshavin also longs to play for a giant in the mainstream European leagues,
However, I didn’t want to fall out with Zenit St. Petersburg and leave in an unpleasant way.
***********
At this time, Arshavin's wife Yulia had already put on her pajamas and came over, poured a glass of water and handed it to him.
Arshavin took his wife's hand and expressed his gratitude.
"Andre, you have communicated with the club. If there is really an offer from a suitable club, they agree to let you go. This is something that has been discussed in the past. You have played for Zenit St. Petersburg for so long. It is time.
I left. The most important thing is that this is Inter Milan, the team of champion coach Leon, this is a very rare opportunity!" Joel Smith persuaded.
"Inter Milan is indeed very good, and Coach Li Ang is a top coach, but, Joel, do you think Inter Milan is suitable for me?" Arshavin asked. Faced with this sudden surprise, he forced himself to calm down. After all, this is
When it comes to your career, you need to think carefully.
Joel Smith knew Arshavin very well. He knew that Arshavin was 100% tempted. He asked this just because he wanted to get support from him. He just needed another push.
"We are all familiar with Inter Milan and coach Li Ang. I believe you have also paid attention to Inter Milan, Andre. This team plays very aggressively and beautifully. It is different from those dull Italian teams and is very suitable for them."
Mr. Banderas also described your characteristics during the phone call. Of course, the most important thing is Mr. Li Ang’s attitude. He likes you!"
"Then what do you think I should do?" Arshavin asked.
Hearing Arshavin say this, Joel Smith knew that Arshavin had made his choice.
"I think we need to have a good chat with Zenit," Joel Smith said. "As for Inter Milan, I will keep in touch and express your attitude to them."
"Okay, I'll leave it to you." Arshavin said, "I still hope that we won't get into too much trouble with the team!"
"I'll pay attention." Joel Smith said, but Arshavin could tell that he didn't mean what he said. Leon took a fancy to Arshavin. This invitation was too important for Arshavin, which meant that Arshavin didn't mean it.
Chauvin's career will reach a new level, and he, Joel Smith, will also benefit a lot from this. Whether it is financial factors or influence factors, he will be prompted to facilitate this transfer, even if
Even if he had a falling out with Zenit St. Petersburg, he would not hesitate to do so. Unlike Arshavin who had feelings for Zenit St. Petersburg, Joel Smith was the agent and he only had interests in his eyes.
***********
"Dear, what's wrong?" Yulia asked when she saw her husband frowning in thought after hanging up the phone.
Arshavin once captured the heart of his wife Yulia with a teddy bear. Now they have children, and their marriage and family are very happy.
"Joel said that a club extended an invitation to me," Arshavin said.
"Which football club is it?" Yulia said. She was also very concerned. After all, once Arshavin transferred to a new football club, it meant that their family would have to "migrate" there.
"Inter Milan." Arshavin said.
"Oh! God!" Yulia exclaimed, showing a look of surprise, "It's Li's team? Inter Milan, which won the European championship the year before last."
"Yes." Arshavin nodded, a little surprised that his wife had such a big reaction, "What do you think?"
"This is your chance, Andre!" Yulia said immediately, "Coach Li Ang is a real championship coach. In his team, you also have the opportunity to stand on the top of Europe!"
"I didn't expect that you are also a fan of Mr. Li Ang." Arshavin was surprised and looked at his wife.
"Don't you know?" Yulia said with a smile.
"Sports Illustrated once named Li the most sexy celebrity coach of the year." Yulia said.
"Uh, okay." Arshavin smiled bitterly. "Sports Illustrated" is a Russian sports gossip media.
"Shall we continue?" Yulia lay in her husband's arms and squeezed Arshavin's penis with a look of longing.
"Why are you feeling it again?" Arshavin laughed.
***********
Leon soon received news that Arshavin had made a public showdown with Zenit St. Petersburg and expressed his willingness to play for Inter Milan.
Zenit St. Petersburg naturally did not want to let Arshavin leave at this time, and the two sides fell into a dispute and deadlock.
At this time, Inter Milan Club continues to communicate with Zenit St. Petersburg officials on the one hand, and maintains close contact with Arshavin on the other.
In fact, to this extent, Li Ang is no longer worried that Arshavin will not come to his bowl. In player transfer cases, the player's personal wishes are becoming more and more important.
As long as you get the players, the transfer is generally half successful.
Leon left the rest of the work to the club manager Oriali to communicate and negotiate with the Russian side.
The team has started training for the second half of the season and is preparing for the second half of the 2007/2008 Serie A season.
They will first win the 18th round of the league. Their opponent is Siena and Inter Milan will play away.
***********
January 13th, Siena, Stadio Franchi.
"Goooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal!"
"Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" sounded on the TV, "Diego Milito! He scored a substitute, this is the first goal after the victim of Diego Milly.
Perfect comeback! Three to one! Inter Milan leads Siena three to one in the away game! Milito sealed the victory for Inter Milan!"
In the first half of the game, Inter Milan led Siena 2-0 away with the goals of Modric and Mata.
In the second half of the game, Siena got one point back.
In the 71st minute of the game, Li Ang replaced Adriano, who had been relatively quiet today, with Diego Milito. The Argentine's condition after returning from injury was a bit average. He tried to get rid of people with the ball several times without success.
, However, Diego Milito still showed his keen sense in front of the goal. Muntari bombarded the goal hard, causing the Siena goalkeeper to take it off. Diego Milito's smart follow-up shot succeeded, sealing the victory for Inter Milan.
In the end, the final score of the game was 3-1. Inter Milan defeated Siena away from home with the goals of Mata, Modric and Diego Milito, three former Sporting Gijon players.
By winning this game, Inter Milan also continued their record number of victories. They have now won 18 consecutive games and continue to create the best start to the league in the history of all Serie A teams.
***********
The day after the match with Siena, Leon received news from Oriali that Arshavin had almost fallen out with Zenit St. Petersburg. Arshavin had issued a statement without obtaining transfer permission.
Writing an open letter is equivalent to saying goodbye to Zenit St. Petersburg fans in advance.
If one of his own players did such a thing, Li Ang would definitely be furious, but now, he is happy to see it happen.
Arshavin's statements and actions gave Inter Milan the initiative in this deal.
Oriari said that Zenit St. Petersburg no longer refuses to negotiate with Inter Milan, and now the two sides have begun to bargain.
Two days later, in the second leg of the 2007/2008 Italian Cup quarter-finals, Inter Milan welcomed Reggina at home.
In the first round, Inter Milan defeated Reggina 4-1 away from home, so there is almost no doubt that Inter Milan will qualify in this game.
Under such circumstances, Li Ang made a substantial rotation of the team's starting lineup. Players such as Bonucci, Muntari, Marchisio, as well as Diego Milito and Cassano, who had just recovered from injuries, received
A chance to start.
Inter Milan, which has rotated a lot, did not play conservatively. The players were more eager to play in the Italian Cup and win the recognition of head coach Li Ang. In the final game, Inter Milan defeated Reggina 3-0 at home and won in two rounds.
With a total score of seven to one, they advanced to the quarterfinals of the Italian Cup in the 2007/2008 season.
And on the day the game ended, Li Ang received a call from Oriali, and the transfer matter of Inter Milan's introduction of Arshavin was settled.
