However, the professor clearly overestimated his chairman, Kroenke. After hesitating for a moment, he said to him, "Well, we can't decide this kind of thing on our own. You should talk to the player first and ask him if he has any ideas. A transfer fee of 300 million euros and an annual salary of 500 million euros, I think most people probably wouldn't refuse such a contract. After all, how many players could never earn that much money even if they played football their whole lives? We can't be an obstacle to the players making money, that would be unethical!"
Compared to honors, Kroenke clearly prefers money; with that money, buying any kind of player would be a simple matter.
But when communicating with his old partner, he should obviously use carelessness to fool him.
Wenger thought about it and agreed with what the other party said. The players should know about this to avoid any misunderstandings in the future. After all, the amount was too large, and he didn't know what the outcome would be.
After finishing his conversation with Chairman Kroenke, he returned to his office and first made himself a cup of Wuling ginseng tea to calm down. To be honest, this stuff was really good. He used to love coffee, but it always made him feel uncomfortable. This stuff was different; it not only refreshed him but also made him feel more energetic. He was very grateful to Lei Ming for recommending such a good product to him.
Wenger appeared somewhat saddened by the thought that the other person might leave him.
After calming down for a while, he dialed Lei Ming's number. At this time, Lei Ming should be resting.
Sure enough, the call was answered shortly after it was dialed.
Good evening, Professor. How have you been lately?
The moment the call connected, Wenger heard Lei Ming's warm greeting, which instantly lifted his spirits.
He chuckled and said, "Hehe, Lei, congratulations on leading your team into the World Cup final. I wish you continued success in leading your team to the World Cup championship."
"Haha, thank you for your blessing, Professor. I'm sure I will. Is there something you need for calling so late, Professor?"
Lei Ming actually had a pretty good idea of what the professor wanted to talk to him about, since his manager had mentioned it to him before.
"There is something I'd like to discuss with you. Today, the club presented an offer from Saudi Arabia. They offered a transfer fee of 300 million euros and promised you an annual salary of 500 million euros. The chairman and I discussed it and decided to respect your opinion. Let's see what you think."
To be honest, when Raymond first heard the offer, he was quite surprised, and his agent Paul was even more excited. Signing this contract would mean he would take off.
Despite the generous offer, Lei Ming wasn't particularly interested, because he hadn't yet led his team to compete for the European Championship! It was too early for him to retire now.
"I haven't considered transferring yet, after all, we still have honors to achieve together. Of course, I also respect the club's decision."
If the club really decides to sell him, Lei Ming won't make a scene; at most, he'll just accept reality and choose to do so.
Wenger quickly replied, "Ray, don't worry, the club has no intention of selling you. We look forward to the return of the World Cup champions and then achieving all the honors together next year."
"OK, Professor, see you at the club."
After hanging up the phone with the professor, Lei Ming also told his agent Paul: "The upcoming games and next year's honors are very important to me. You should know what to do. Don't worry about these petty gains. Our future is much bigger than this."
Paul: "Received."
While Saudi Arabia's offer is certainly tempting, no amount of money can buy honor. This season, the manager has made a series of reinforcements in certain positions, and the team should still be quite competitive in European football.
...
"Welcome to the live broadcast room, viewers. The match you are watching is the final of the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia. This match will be held at Luzhniki Stadium, and the two teams are France and the dark horse Portugal."
"This is absolutely a clash of titans, a battle of titans. Both teams have won all their previous eliminations and made it to the finals."
"At the same time, we can finally see Lei Ming and Mbappe playing on the same pitch again. However, unlike a year ago, they will now represent different teams. The bond between the two makes this final showdown between the top players even more meaningful."
"This is also a crucial moment for Ronaldo. Once he overcomes this obstacle, he will become the undisputed world's best striker. This season, Ronaldo has been overwhelmingly dominant in both club and national team competitions. I believe that if he can win this game, the Ballon d'Or next year will be his. I even think that even if they lose this game, the Ballon d'Or will still be his next year."
......
Before the start of the World Cup, television stations around the world were introducing the specific situations of the two teams on the field to audiences worldwide.
At the event, the organizers gave the competition special significance, not only inviting international superstars to perform but also holding a grand closing ceremony to let the world experience the charm of Russia.
The Goose's football cheerleaders have shown the world what true giantness is!
Those beautiful young women were not only dressed scantily, but each of them also had exceptionally good figures. Their energetic running and jumping ignited the enthusiasm of the audience.
During this time, the players were not watching the games live, but were making final preparations in the locker room. Everyone was praying for the upcoming match. The World Cup final represents the highest level of football, and winning would add the most glorious stroke to everyone's personal honor. Who wouldn't want that?
Especially for Cristiano Ronaldo, this is definitely his closest chance to win the World Cup, and he craves it more than anyone else.
"Captain, this match depends on you. Score one, two, three, four, five goals, hehe."
Lei Ming walked up to Ronaldo, who had just finished praying, and said with a smile.
These words instantly made the other party laugh: "Haha, you kid, do you really think the French team is weak? Five goals? I'd be lucky if I could score one. This game also depends on you. You are our last hope. I'm really grateful for your appearance, Ray!"
Cristiano Ronaldo patted Lei Ming on the shoulder and couldn't help but sigh deeply.
He truly never imagined that he would one day be so close to the World Cup trophy. After competing with Messi for so many years, this year is definitely his most outstanding year. Although he lost the La Liga title, he won the Champions League and reached the World Cup final. All of this is wonderful for him.
