The strongest blade in football

Chapter 99

Ten minutes later, Wang Nuo returned home. He left the contract in the car and met De Sutter.

De Sutter is literally at the door, sitting on a 16-inch trolley case.

"Oh, it seems that you are more energetic than the previous two days. How is everything going?" De Sartre greeted Wang Nuo from a distance.

"Thank you, it's much better, and it's basically back to normal."

"That's good, that's good." De Sart looked Wang Nuo up and down, "The team still has two days off, do you have any arrangements for tomorrow or the day after tomorrow?"

Wang Nuo thought, maybe he wants to invite me to go skiing, I don't want to affect my daily training.

"Except for training, there is no special arrangement, Mr. De Sutter, what's the matter?"

"How about going out with me?" De Sutter smiled kindly.

"where to?"

De Sutter raised the watch on his wrist and glanced, "First stop, London!"

Wang Nuo still had a sense of unreality until he got out of the car.

They took the "Eurostar" high-speed train in Brussels, passed through the English Channel Tunnel, and arrived in London at 7:[-] pm.

De Sutter told him they were going to spend the two days "visiting" some clubs.

They had a very busy schedule, and after checking into the hotel, after dinner, De Sutter started making phone calls next to each other, one after another.

He speaks English for a while, Italian for a while, and French for a while. He is really a language genius.

Early the next morning, they traveled directly by car to St Albans, north London.

At the Arsenal training center, Wang Nuo met Arsene Wenger himself.

Wang Nuo respects the first foreign head coach in the history of the Arsenal club, and is also the longest coaching head coach of the club so far.

He has been here for more than ten years and has brought many honors to Arsenal.

Wenger doesn't have much time. Arsenal are preparing for the league match against Burnley. They are only 3 points away from the top Chelsea, and they are in the critical period of the championship.

But he still met Wang Nuo and De Sutter in person.

Standing in his office, Wang Nuo really felt like he was just a little boy.

When he met Wenger's gaze, he even trembled a little nervously.

He felt that Wenger seemed to want to see through him and see what kind of person he was.

Wang Nuo knows that a coach like this will study the psychological state of the players very seriously, such as whether they are emotionally stable or not.

Like every great coach, Wenger has a delicate mind.

At first, Wang Nuo didn't talk much, just sat quietly, looking cramped and clumsy.

But it didn't take long for him to lose his patience.

Because Wenger briefly asked about Wang Nuo's situation, and after chatting with De Sutter for a few words, he suddenly fell silent, as if he was deliberately waiting for something.

He got up from time to time to see who was outside the window, seemed to want to control everything, and kept repeating one thing.

Even the air froze.

"You can have a trial training with us first." Wenger said to Wang Nuo, "You can try first and do a small test."

Wang Nuo felt as if he had returned to the time when he first went to Standard Liege 10 months ago.

At that time, the staff of the youth training camp also made the same expression, and then said the same thing as before.

But Wang Nuo is different now, he scored many goals in Belgium.

This sentence made Wang Nuo feel like a poor guy who came to the door to beg for alms from the other party, and he was a little annoyed.

"Give me a pair of sneakers, I will try out, right now, immediately." Wang Nuo was eager to prove himself.

But De Sutter interrupted him.

"No, stop, I'll take care of this, you can't do any trials, absolutely not."

Wang Nuo immediately understood what he meant——

Either you're interested in me, or you're not.

And accepting trial training means self-depreciation, which will put oneself at a disadvantage.

So they declined Wenger: "I'm sorry, Mr. Wenger, we are not interested, so we won't take up any more time. See you next time."

On the way back, Wang Nuo was a little unhappy.

"What's the matter, are you angry about what happened just now?" De Sutter asked knowingly.

"Why? Why are we here, Wenger is not interested in me at all!"

Wang Nuo didn't understand De Sutter's approach.

"You said before that the club would only consider my transfer as a last resort, but now, it's almost like we are selling ourselves door-to-door!"

"Take it easy, kid," De Sartre said. "Take it easy, want to know why? Well, I'll tell you."

"Do you know which clubs are most interested in you right now?"

"It's Tottenham, Milan, Borussia Mönchengladbach, and Marseille!"

When Wang Nuo heard these names, his heart couldn't help beating wildly. These are teams from four different countries. Except for Borussia Borussia, the rest are like thunder.

"And the places we are going to these two days are London, Paris, and Milan." De Sutter continued, "We must give them some stimulation, otherwise the various temptations will be endless, and they are all repeated guy."

Wang Nuo understood De Sutter's thinking.

At the same time, he also understood that he was already on the negotiating table, but he was blindfolded and his ears were plugged.

The club has never made it clear to him.

"Why did you just tell me now?"

Wang Nuo felt like a car, or a horse, who knew nothing about his fate before the transaction.

"The club will first ask your opinion before making any important transfer decisions. The reason why they didn't tell you is that it hasn't reached that point yet."

Wang Nuo didn't agree with De Sutter's explanation, he felt very disappointed, and at this time he also felt a strange emotion.

From the initial salary, to the pitfalls in the contract, to De Sutter's various claims, and the club's consistent tradition of selling people.

The more Wang Nuo thought about it, the more he felt that he was too wishful thinking from the beginning to the end.

He thought to himself, the club doesn't take me seriously, why should I stay at Standard Liege, if Bologne leaves next season, I will definitely not stay.

With this mentality, he doesn't have any respect for De Sutter. What kind of sports director, full of benevolence and morality, is nothing more than a player dealer.

"Let's go, next stop." Wang Nuo said proactively.

De Sutter didn't seem to feel Wang Nuo's strangeness, or he pretended not to know.

They were very efficient, and they took the "Eurostar" again, and they arrived in Paris after 1:[-] pm.

The two met Combuare, the head of Paris Saint-Germain, who also had no interest in Wang Nuo.

They chatted briefly for a while, and then left after staying in the office for half an hour.

Then De Sutter invited Wang Nuo to have a big meal, and at 5 o'clock in the afternoon, he arrived near the airport slowly.

After resting in a nearby hotel for two hours, they boarded a plane and arrived in Milan at 10 o'clock in the evening.

This is the first time in Wang Nuo's life. He stayed in three different countries in one day. It was an eye-opener and he was very tired.

The next day, they went to the Inter Milan training ground, where he met another legendary coach, Jose Mourinho.

Apparently, he was "the special one".

Wang Nuo had heard a lot about him—he was conceited, held the press conference like a show, and said what was on his mind.

Wang Nuo felt that he was more like a star.

Compared to Wang Nuo, Mourinho seemed to be more interested in their leader. He asked, "How is Laszlo doing now? I didn't have much fun with him when I was in Porto."

He seemed to have some kind of magic, he knew everything, and he said, "Standard Liege has only one honor this season, the Europa League. You are too far behind in the league. Now it is 9 points, right?"

Wang Nuo was surprised that he was so familiar with the situation in the Belgian league. Obviously, what he said was true.

"So, why don't you prepare for the Europa League game, but come to me to join in the fun?"

Just as De Sutter was about to say something, Mourinho issued an order to evict him. "Inter Milan only needs top players. Take this kid to the opposite side and see if Galliani is interested."

Wang Nuo thought to himself, Milan's scouts hang around him every day, how can you say that?Of course, a madman naturally has the capital of arrogance, so De Sutter and Wang Nuo had no choice but to leave again.

Undoubtedly, the journey has been arduous and seemingly fruitless.

But De Sutter believes that the purpose has been achieved, and said that the club's purpose was originally such.

Wang Nuo can't control what kind of strategy he has. For him, it is the right way to train and compete after returning home.

In the hotel's gym for the past two days, he was a little aggrieved because he didn't have anything in hand.

In this way, this journey of self-promotion in Wang Nuo's view came to an end.
