Chapter 188: Two Handshakes

During this time, in St. Petersburg, there was a piece of news that overwhelmed Chen Yingxiong's consecutive goals. That is Zenit's leading star, and their core Arshavin is finally about to betray his team.

Although there were similar rumors before, this time it looked like it was going to be serious.

Naples persevered and launched a pursuit offensive against Arshavin.

This offensive still makes people feel inexplicable - weren't they only interested in Chen Yingxiong before? Why did you suddenly say you want to buy Arshavin?

During this period of time alone, if you choose a team that Zenit fans hate the most, then it is definitely not CSKA Moscow, nor Sparta Moscow, but Naples far away in Italy.

Because they not only want to take away the team's top scorer Chen Yingxiong, but also take away the team's top star Arshavin!

To poach Zenit's two pillars in one breath, this is Zenit's life!

This week, the development of things has made Zenit fans dizzy and dazzled.

When the transfer rumors first appeared, Zenit fans firmly believed that the team’s banner would never abandon them. How could Shava, who grew up in St. Petersburg, be a player of Chen Yingxiong’s “not my race”? In the face of Naples transfer rumors, he will definitely come forward to clarify!

But one day later, Arshavin did not come forward to refute the rumors, he remained silent with an ambiguous attitude, and rumors began to appear that "Shawar wants to leave Zenit".

Two days later, Arshavin's agent Rakit came forward, but instead of refuting the rumors, he said in an interview with the media: "Naples? Why not? That's a Serie A team!"

Three days later, Arshavin and Advocaat had a face-to-face conversation. No one except the two of them, and perhaps the manager, Ratchet, knew what they were talking about. But when he came out, Advocaat looked very angry. But Arshavin still refused to utter a word in front of Ru Lin's microphone.

On the fifth day, the media gathered at the Zenit club, because on this day Arshavin will have an interview with the team's general manager Sasania. Judging from this matter alone, Arshavin has obviously dealt with Advocaat, and now it's his turn to deal with the club's general manager Sasania. So what will be the result? That's why so many media gathered outside the club. You must know that Sasania firmly opposed Arshavin's transfer. For so many years, Arshavin's ability to stay in Zenit had a lot to do with his hard work.

But... On the sixth day, when Sasania was asked by the reporter about the relationship between Arshavin and Naples, his answer was: "At least 20 million euros, otherwise there will be no discussion!"

Twenty million may be considered a "high price" to Arshavin, but to Naples, it's probably nothing. The most important thing is that Sasania, who had refused to negotiate a price with any team before, actually made an offer, which shows that his attitude is loose.

On the sixth night, Naples offered 13 million euros for Arshavin.

Offers came in from both sides, and then it seemed irreversible.

At least for ordinary Zenit fans, they can only watch the clubs of the two sides bargaining with each other in the media, just like buying a jacket in the Chinese market, discussing the future of the team's flag in their minds.

Fans held banners and posters of Arshavin outside Zenit's Udney Park training base, imploring him to stay.

But the power of ordinary fans is negligible, and they are simply powerless to influence the club's high-level will, especially after Arshavin finally made a public appearance and expressed his dream of leaving Zenit to pursue a bigger stage...

"I am very grateful for those times in Zenit, and I know what this team means to me. But I am already twenty-five years old, and I hope to find my value in the top European league... I really don't have many years to waste. I hope everyone understands my decision. I will never betray you, St. Petersburg, and Zenit! No matter where I go in the future, I am a child of St. Petersburg. My girlfriend and my children are all St. Petersburg. branded..."

When Arshavin sincerely told everyone his truth on the TV screen, many fans burst into tears in front of the TV.

Because they know that the departure of idols and banners is irreversible.

At this time, Chen Yingxiong faced Arshavin again in the private room named "Qiu Ju" in Ruilongju. This time, Arshavin's agent and the general manager of the Naples club, Pierpaolo Marino, were added.

After Naples raised the transfer fee to 16 million euros, it was almost impossible to stop the transfer. Zenit St. Petersburg also put forward their request, and it is a condition that they will never give in. That is to ask Arshavin to finish the 2008 season of the Russian Super League before going to Naples, which means that his transfer time is January 1, 2009.

Of course Chen Yingxiong wanted to go to Naples with Arshavin, but he had nothing to say about it.

And the meaning of Zenit St. Petersburg is very clear-if you don't agree to this condition, then let's not talk about Arshavin's transfer. Even if you offer 30 million euros, you won't talk about it.

Naples quickly made concessions. Anyway, what they value most is Chen Yingxiong, as long as Chen Yingxiong can come this summer. As for Arshavin...he was originally Chen Yingxiong's transfer leader, it doesn't matter when he comes...January 1st next year will be January 1st.

Today, Marino flew over from Italy just to negotiate a personal contract with Arshavin.

When Chen Yingxiong invited them to dine in this "designated Chinese restaurant" of his own, the personal contract between the two parties had actually been negotiated. How much Arshavin's weekly salary is, Chen Yingxiong does not know, this is other people's privacy, he did not ask.

A special report on Arshavin's transfer was being broadcast on the TV in the box.

"Sawa?"

Arshavin looked away from the TV screen.

Marino had already reached out to him.

"Welcome to Naples, Mr. Arshavin!"

Arshavin had a faint smile on his face, but no one could see his heart from this smile. Leaving Zenit St. Petersburg in this way and going to a completely unfamiliar team, what is the future like? Is this transfer good for the player, or good for the agent?

At least the manager Rakit standing next to Arshavin was smiling and very happy.

After shaking hands with Arshavin, Marino turned to shake hands with Chen Yingxiong again: "Now you can sign the contract, hero?"

He later found out why De Laurentiis asked him to contact Arshavin. It turned out that the guy in front of him called the boss directly...and told the boss that if he didn't sign Arshavin, he wouldn't sign the contract that had already been negotiated!

What audacity!

Marino is all too aware of his temper with his boss. If a player dared to threaten him like this, he would definitely die a miserable death. After seeing the power of De Laurentiis, Lavitch never mentioned any salary increase...

But what surprised Marino was that De Laurentiis, a boss with a capricious and perverse personality, agreed!

As if doting on his grandson, he agreed to this request, which in Marino's view was absolutely unreasonable!

And with his promotion, Arshavin's transfer really succeeded!

Of course he knew how difficult it would be to take away Arshavin from Zenit St. Petersburg...but now he actually signed two Zenit players in one go. These two players are definitely not cats and dogs who can easily find replacements, but... the core pillars! An absolute main shooter, an absolute main core!

After knowing these behind-the-scenes stories, Marino was completely speechless about the big man in front of him.

At the beginning, he was only a little interested in the provocative self-promotion CD written by the copywriter, and he opened the CD out of curiosity... He didn't expect that this CD would lead to so many stories behind it, and changed the fate of two people. Of course, it may also change the fate of more people...

Who knows?

Chen Yingxiong smiled and shook his head: "You can sign now!"

Holding his hand, Marino shook his arm: "You are also welcome to join, Maradona's Naples welcomes you, hero!"

The transfer of Chen Yingxiong and Arshavin was finally settled before the game against Bayern Munich. For Advocaat, this may be the only consolation-because the impact on his team's preparations for Bayern Munich will be minimized.

At the same time as these two transfers occurred, Zenit also finished two rounds of the league. In the fifth and sixth rounds of the league, Chen Yingxiong seemed to be trying to prove to Naples that he was definitely worth the money. Every euro transfer fee and bonus that Naples paid him would not be wasted. He scored three more goals in these two rounds of the league.

Score a goal against Wings of the Soviets in the fifth round, helping Zenit draw with Wings of the Soviets 1:1 at home.

In the sixth round against Saturn, he scored twice to help the team beat Saturn 3:1 away.

Although in the match against Soviet Wings, his record of scoring twice in four consecutive games was broken, but this did not detract from his reputation being spread throughout Russia. Moreover, he soon scored twice again in the game against Saturn. Some media even gave Chen Yingxiong a new nickname: "Mr. Score Twice"!

He has scored 12 goals in six league rounds, and he is running towards his crazy goal!
