Sitting in the club's arranged van, Aubameyang felt a mix of trepidation and excitement.
Henry has always been one of Aubameyang's favorite players, and now that he has the opportunity to go to the team he once played for, Aubameyang is naturally very excited.
Moreover, while high salaries are important, he values the current Arsenal squad even more.
Although Arsenal did not have any Champions League matches this season, they have maintained a very good competitive state in all competitions. He could feel a championship potential from them. In addition, Arsenal also has the goalkeeper he most wants to work with, which is the main reason for his move to Arsenal.
Because he is no longer young, he wants to achieve honors in the last few years of his football career, and among the many teams pursuing him, Arsenal is obviously the most suitable team for him.
Although Lacazette is currently Arsenal's top scorer, Aubameyang believes that he will be no worse than him once he arrives. He has found that while Arsenal's attacking system is fluid, it still seems somewhat powerless when it comes to the final shot, which is precisely what he excels at.
This made him feel that his style was a good fit for Arsenal.
As he watched the club's training base looming in the distance, his heart began to race.
"Emeric, get ready, we'll be there soon. The professor is already waiting for you at the door with the company's senior management and coaching team. You'll see them as soon as you get out of the car."
The driver who was picking up Aubameyang kindly reminded him, and Aubameyang obviously saw the crowd waiting at the club entrance through the window, and he even spotted the goalkeeper he most wanted to meet almost immediately.
The vehicle slowly pulled up in front of the club. As Aubameyang stepped out of the van, he was greeted with applause from many people. The professor even went up and hugged him.
"Hello, Emerick, it's great to see you here again. From today onwards, you are a member of Arsenal."
Amid the applause, Aubameyang still seemed a little reserved, shaking hands with each of the people who welcomed him. However, when he stood in front of Lei Ming, he became even more nervous.
"Damn it, Aubameyang, pull yourself together! You just want to be teammates with them, not date them. What are you so nervous about?!"
Aubameyang couldn't help but cheer himself up in his heart, but when he looked up, he was greeted by the other person's warm smile.
"Welcome, Emeric. I'm sure you won't be disappointed here."
Lei Ming shook hands with the other person with his strong hand and smiled amicably.
"Of course, it's a pleasure to meet you too, Ray!"
Not far away, watching Aubameyang and Lei Ming meet, Wenger simply wore a meaningful smile but did not interrupt their conversation. The reason why Aubameyang chose them so decisively was because of Lei Ming, but he did not announce it to the public or tell anyone. So at this moment, this classic scene could only be digested by him alone.
But he promised that he would definitely tell everyone about it later, because he was really afraid that keeping the news to himself would cause it to fester and grow worms.
Standing so close to Lei Ming, Aubameyang had completed a small step in his plan. He seemed quite pleased after exchanging words with Lei Ming. Soon after, under Lei Ming's guidance, he greeted the team's current captain, Mertesacker, before heading to the upcoming press conference with Wenger, led by staff members.
Mertesacker and Lei Ming did not go together, but stood behind and watched them leave. Mertesacker smiled and said:
"Ray, I've found that you're really suited to be captain. You're absolutely right about Aubameyang's personality; he is indeed quite gentle."
"Hehe, Captain, you flatter me. I learned all of this from you, so there's nothing to say."
"Ha, anything you can learn is a skill. Come on, let's take the players to training."
...
At the press conference, after Aubameyang took his seat with Wenger and others, a flurry of camera clicks and flashes of light were clearly heard.
Clearly, the media is recording this exciting moment.
"Mr. Aubameyang, it's said that among the teams vying for your services were super clubs like Barcelona. Why did you ultimately choose Arsenal?"
Everyone knows that Arsenal doesn't have a Champions League season, so it's obviously not a good fit for players who want to make a name for themselves. If they went to the then-dominant Barcelona, they might be able to win a championship even if they just sit on the bench for a season.
But clearly, Aubameyang is not the kind of person who lacks ambition. He wants to prove his worth through his actions. If he were to go to Barcelona, he might not have much of a chance. Everyone knows how good Aubameyang's current form is.
"First of all, I want to thank Arsenal for their trust in me. Without their invitation, I wouldn't be sitting here."
"I am also very grateful for Professor Wenger's appreciation; it was his trust that gave me the determination to come to Arsenal."
"Arsenal is a great team with a glorious history, and it is an honor for me to join Arsenal."
"I have always believed that my arrival should bring about some small changes at Arsenal, which is the whole reason I came here."
When faced with questions from the media, Aubameyang had clearly considered the relevant issues beforehand, so his answers were much more fluent. His responses were also recognized by the club's management. Meanwhile, the Arsenal fans watching the signing in front of the television station, who were drinking, all had smiles of satisfaction on their faces.
The team's reinforcement of the forward line at this time is very popular. Everyone can see that the team has not played badly before, but it just couldn't seize some opportunities, which resulted in the team winning by a small margin almost every game.
Lacazette is certainly great, but sometimes he can't cover the entire attacking penalty area by himself!
But with Aubameyang on the team, Arsenal's attack has clearly become more and more perfect. With Lacazette's exquisite footwork and Aubameyang's finishing touch, it's hard to believe that such a lineup can achieve a 1-0 or 2-0 score in every game.
When fans see their team win, they always feel that 1-0 or 2-0 isn't impressive enough. They think that a 7, 8, or 9-0 score would be truly awesome.
It's worth mentioning that, due to the team's winning streak this season, fans have stopped publicly calling for Wenger's dismissal. Although Professor Wenger doesn't care about such external reputation, this is obviously a good thing for both the club and the fans.
