Chapter 198 Cazorla's Wish
Chapter 198 Cazorla's Wish
competition is over.
The score remained 1-0 until the very end.
After conceding a goal, the opposing coach finally realized he needed to substitute Maguire, but they only had one substitution left.
Left with no other option, he had to substitute Maguire and bring on a striker to fight back against Burton.
Clearly, neither side was able to achieve anything further.
"Pretty!"
"Well played!"
Will was very excited in the stands.
He had gone to great lengths to bring his wife to the game, and if their team lost and it made her unhappy...
The consequences are unimaginable.
If only we could win every game.
Susan will eventually discover the allure of football!
Miss Susan's expression remained unchanged at this moment.
She wasn't very interested in ball sports.
As a boxer, besides kickboxing, her favorite sport is sumo wrestling...
But Blanche's performance still bothered her.
The latter is now standing inside the railing, with one foot on it and one hand waving a small yellow flag vigorously.
"Great!"
"Murphy is the coolest!"
"He scored another goal!"
"Susan." After the match ended, Will immediately pulled Blanche back and looked at Miss Susan beside him.
"Blanche really loves football."
"Why don't we let her continue training?"
Unfortunately, Miss Susan remained unmoved.
"Don't even think about it."
"I told you, if you bring this up again, I'll be taking off my boxing gloves next time I hit you!"
......
While Burton won the game.
Arsenal also won the quarter-final and will face Burton again in the semi-finals.
In the fans' stands, Cazorla, who had been away from the team for more than half a year, appeared.
He wasn't even on the substitute list today, so he simply took the day off.
"Long time no see, boss."
"I didn't expect you to be here too."
"I thought you wouldn't be coming back for at least a few years."
The "boss" he was referring to was not Li Yanqing, but Professor Wenger, who happened to be watching the match as well.
"Actually, that was really my original plan."
"But the club will be playing Burton again soon, so I'll see how they perform."
"It's actually you here that surprises me..."
Wenger also didn't expect Cazorla to be here; it's Burton's match today.
Given the player's recent form, even if he doesn't start, he'll almost certainly be a substitute.
"I took leave to come back and visit."
"I heard the team is preparing to rebuild and will be replacing a lot of players soon."
“I’m thinking that maybe I can make a difference.”
"As you know, my biggest wish is to still be able to help the team."
"As long as the club doesn't mind, I can play until I'm forty."
Cazorla didn't hide anything and directly expressed his desire to return.
"I wasn't in good form before, so I had to leave the team."
"But now, I feel I'm ready."
"I can come back next season."
Poor form is one aspect, but another very important reason is that these veteran players have very high salaries.
But now none of that matters.
He earned a very low salary at Burton, and he certainly wouldn't earn much more if he returned to Arsenal; he'd just get whatever he could get.
Anyway, he doesn't care about this.
"Yes, we have indeed done a lot of preparation work in the transfer market recently." Wenger nodded.
After his departure, Arsenal will definitely need to rebuild.
Firstly, the veterans may not be willing to follow the new coach's arrangements, and secondly, the ceiling for this group of players is only the top four, and it is difficult for them to reach a higher level.
As a traditional powerhouse, it's time for them to refocus their attention on winning the championship.
"But I don't have the final say on these matters."
You'll have to ask Emery...
Unai Emery succeeded Arsène Wenger as Arsenal manager.
He had won the Europa League title with Sevilla, and although he suffered two consecutive defeats at the start of the season after taking over Arsenal, he quickly achieved an eleven-game winning streak.
However, they have encountered significant problems as the league has progressed.
The biggest impact is undoubtedly injuries, which makes Arsenal look like they're about to falter again.
That's why Cazorla couldn't wait to return to the club to take a look.
"The situation for the top four this season is good, and we're also making great strides in the Europa League."
"But the more this is the case, the more worried I become..."
Cazorla is telling the truth; they had several times when they were in a very good position, but ended up losing their Champions League qualification.
"I will contact him."
"The team could actually learn a thing or two from Burton in terms of rebuilding and renewal."
"I think he did a good job..."
Although Cazorla is eager to return to Arsenal, he also has a high opinion of Li Yanqing.
Not only did it help him regain his form, but it also transformed Burton Albion, a weak Championship team, into a mid-to-upper-tier Premier League team in just two years.
Everyone has to admit his abilities.
Even that commentator, Mr. Hans, hasn't been saying much lately...
"It's very good."
"Now I'm a little glad you only signed a one-year short-term contract with them."
Wenger smiled. Actually, when he recommended the player to Burton, he didn't expect that Li Yanqing could actually revive Cazorla's form.
At the time, I just thought that staying in the Premier League would be a little better.
But who would have thought that they now have a very high chance of making it into the Europa League?
"Don't worry, I'll contact the club for you."
"As for Emery, we don't really need to worry about him."
"No matter who is the head coach, they can use you, at least as a substitute is no problem."
After Wenger said that, it was basically confirmed that the player would definitely return to Arsenal next season.
In the eyes of the management, he was more than just a retired old man.
"Thanks, boss."
Cazorla thanked Wenger.
As long as I don't make any major mistakes in the upcoming matches, my wish will definitely come true.
"Actually, there is one more thing."
"If the club is to be rebuilt, there are a few good candidates I would like to recommend to him."
"Could you say them together?"
"Those young guys from Burton?" Wenger quickly realized.
After losing to Burton last season, he actually had designs on those young players.
Quinn, in particular, has been receiving a lot of attention lately.
However, no matter how you look at it, they are Li Yanqing's lifeblood, and no one has been able to poach them for so long.
"No, it's not."
"It would be too difficult to poach Quinn and his team from Burton."
"Real Madrid had previously extended an invitation to him."
His reason for refusing was that it was "close to home"...
Cazorla had initially thought Quinn would definitely accept Real Madrid's offer, but the final outcome left him somewhat amused and bewildered.
"I would like to recommend two other people."
“Danielle Baselli and James Justin.”
"They are a better fit for Arsenal..."
