Starting with playing defensive midfield for Evergrande

Chapter 121 (Second Update) Arsenal's spectacular summer transfer window moves officially kick off their championship blueprint!
This summer was arguably the most dreamlike summer of the professor's life.

As for the reason
It is true that Arsenal's two owners have kept their promises.

One hundred million euros per person.
A transfer fee of 2 million euros.

Moreover, the decision on whether to keep or leave all players except Su Hao was made by the professor alone.

To be honest, this kind of well-funded battle left the professor a little at a loss for what to do.

In the end, having no other choice, the professor cut short his vacation and flew directly to Brazil, intending to thoroughly study how to spend his two hundred million euros.

Upon arriving in Brazil, James Rodriguez, who had become famous for his goal at the Brazil World Cup, naturally caught the professor's eye.

The player's record of 6 goals and 2 assists in 5 World Cup matches has made the professor somewhat envious of this World Cup Golden Boot player who is definitely a contender for the summer transfer window's record signing.

The money was there, but James Rodriguez's playing style really gave the professor a headache.

As a classic attacking midfielder who must control the ball at his feet, this guy seems completely mismatched with his teammate Su Hao and Arsenal.

So, after much thought, the professor called Su Hao, the only core member of his team who had recommended Kanté to him, to ask for his opinion.

After talking with Su Hao, the professor ultimately decided to give up.

After James Rodriguez's name was crossed out, the professor looked at the others.

Suarez
The super striker who missed out last season due to a foolish €1 deal was rejected outright after the other party mentioned him.

Why.
The professor still feels like slapping himself a few times in the middle of the night because he missed out on Suarez.

However, aside from all of these, the professor was pleasantly surprised to find someone he seemed to be able to win over.

Robert Lewandowski.

The Polish striker, born in 1988, has ended his four-year contract with Borussia Dortmund.

Although Lewandowski had already reached an agreement with Bayern Munich at the beginning of the year to join Bayern after his contract with Borussia Dortmund ended.

But it hasn't officially joined yet, has it?

The professor has found out that Bayern Munich gave Lewandowski a signing bonus of 2500 million euros.

This price, coupled with Bayern's formidable strength, completely swayed Lewandowski to Bayern's side.

If it were the professor from before, upon hearing the figure of 2500 million, he would definitely have quietly skipped Lewandowski's name and looked for a cheaper alternative.

But now?

With a budget of 2 million euros, the professor did not hesitate to offer Lewandowski's agent a signing fee of 3500 million euros.

Then Lewandowski, who had previously been proclaiming that Bayern Munich would be his next club, immediately fell silent.

Lewandowski has always wanted to wear the Bayern Munich jersey, but after seeing the 3500 million euro signing fee, he suddenly felt that Arsenal's red suited him better.

Of course, everything had already been agreed upon with Bayern Munich, but Lewandowski still made a token refusal, saying that he was an honest and trustworthy person and couldn't go back on his word, as it would make him feel like he was betraying his religious beliefs.
4000.
After several days of back and forth, Lewandowski was finally won over by Arsenal's vibrant red.

2014 7 Month 15 Day.

Just three days after Lewandowski's contract with Dortmund expired, and the day after Germany defeated Argentina 1-0 to lift the World Cup trophy.

Arsenal have made a major announcement on their official website that Polish striker Robert Lewandowski has joined the team on a free transfer.

"Fuck!"

Su Hao, who had already arrived at his apartment and resumed training with Kant, was also greatly surprised when he heard the news.

In 2014, Lewandowski had not yet achieved his incredible feat of scoring five goals in nine minutes, and he was only known as a top striker for Borussia Dortmund.

However, as a time traveler, Su Hao was well aware of just how formidable Lewandowski was.

After learning through rumors that Lewandowski received a signing bonus of 4000 million euros before joining Arsenal, Su Hao still felt that Arsenal had really made a killing this time.

They can get Lewandowski for 40 million, and even if they use him for eight years, they can still give him back to Barcelona for 50 million.

Of course, the professor's grand scheme is not over yet.

After securing the right-hand striker, the professor turned his attention to the flanks.

After suffering so many losses on the flanks last season, the professor is single-mindedly trying to strengthen his flanks.

Therefore, he had long set his sights on Sanchez, who was not being used much in Barcelona.

Just when the talks with Sanchez were going relatively smoothly, a bombshell announcement suddenly came from Real Madrid.

Yes, the legendary Florentino Perez, who specializes in buying superstars, spent a staggering 8000 million euros to acquire James Rodriguez, the Colombian midfield prodigy who became a sensation at the World Cup!
It was this extravagant purchase of 80 million that left Argentine angel Di Maria, who had already been pushed to the center, with nowhere to go.

After being told by Lagerfeld to find his own club, Di Maria was immediately pursued by other top clubs.

Seeing that Di Maria was already on the market, the professor naturally postponed Sanchez's transfer and then happily chatted with Di Maria.

Interestingly, due to the two Champions League matches against Arsenal last season, plus the friendly match between China and Argentina, and aside from the minor conflict between Su Hao and the national team, Di Maria truly admires Su Hao as a top-class midfielder to the fullest extent.

With Lewandowski also joining Arsenal, after some back and forth, Di Maria actually reached an agreement with the professor.

On May 7th.

Real Madrid and Arsenal's official websites also made a major announcement that Angel Di Maria has officially joined Arsenal for €75 million, the third-highest transfer fee in the summer transfer window.

Of course, after Di Maria was confirmed, the professor did not forget Sanchez, who had been flirting with him for a long time.

€3500 million is considered a bargain price, and the professor officially announced Sanchez's signing on the 21st.

Since then, the professor has spent a total of 1.5 million euros.

In the past, the professor would probably have sold off his entire team to scrape together this little bit of money.

but now?

Cough!

The domineering professor not only didn't put his current players on the trading block, but also turned his attention to areas in the defense that needed reinforcement.

However, what's a bit of a headache for the professor is that the defenders he's interested in are all currently untouchable by other teams.

After scanning the summer transfer list countless times, the professor finally remembered Su Hao, who had recommended Kanté, a top-class midfielder, to him.

7 month 21 day.

The professor called Su Hao on a whim.

And Su Hao, who was on the phone, didn't let the professor leave empty-handed.

A Dutch center-back named Virgil van Dijk appeared in the professor's notebook.

Because of Kante's success, the professor has seriously had his scouts collect information on this 24-year-old center-back who is still with Celtic.

Forehead.
Like that Kanté, this guy's characteristics are just ordinary and unremarkable.

However, fueled by his blind confidence in Su Hao, the professor still persuaded Arsenal to make an offer to Celtic.

For Virgil van Dijk himself, joining a powerhouse like Arsenal is something he's 200% willing to do. However, after seeing how extravagant the manager has been this summer, Celtic have made an outrageous offer of €2000 million.

Upon seeing the price, the professor immediately called off the transfer.

He bought Van Dijk because Su Hao had made the right bet before and wanted to do it again.

2000 million is enough for him to pick any player he wants from other Premier League teams.

Even nouveau riche shouldn't be taken advantage of like this.

The Celtics panicked when the professor called a halt.

After actively contacting various parties and engaging in negotiations, Arsenal ultimately spent 1700 million euros to successfully acquire Virgil van Dijk, a seemingly unremarkable 24-year-old center-back.

Having bought so many players, the professor finally hardened his heart and began the team purge he had long planned.

Podolsky.
This German substitute striker, who just won the World Cup, has already seen his form decline, yet he still asked Arsenal for a contract extension with a higher annual salary.

Amidst his internal struggles with Giroud, the professor ultimately made the ruthless decision to strike Podolski with the first blow.

7 month 23 day.

Podolski announced his move to Inter Milan for a loss of 1000 million euros.

As for Giroud!
The professor confirmed by phone that Giroud was willing to continue playing competitively in the new season and stayed with the team.

Podolski left, while others like Wilshere and Walcott were forced to stay because they were still recovering from injuries.

Since then!

The professor's spectacular summer transfer window has finally come to an end.

Signing Lewandowski, Di Maria, and Sanchez.

These three transfers alone have taken up three spots in the top ten of the summer transfer rankings.

It was precisely this unprecedented massive investment that allowed Arsenal to shed its long-standing image of being poor and struggling.

However, even though so much money was spent at once.

When interviewed by a reporter who had traveled all the way from England, Lao Xu still looked unhappy and said, "I had already spoken with Mr. Wenger, and at the very least, I wanted to ensure that the most expensive signing in the summer transfer window would stay at Arsenal. In the end, we only got third place, sigh!"

Old Xu's words once again showed the English, thousands of miles away, the extravagance of a Chinese tycoon.

Many Arsenal fans are even calling on Wenger to keep looking for players worth over £80 million before the transfer window closes, and even suggesting that the manager consider poaching a top star from Real Madrid or Barcelona!
