Chapter 785: Night Visit to Hugo 1

The next day after the incident happened to be the weekend, Hugo suddenly received a text message from Wenger, saying that he wanted to visit him. Hugo was really confused as to why. Of course, when people said this, Hugo was really embarrassed to refuse. So Hugo specially invited the French chef from the Colony Hotel to his home to prepare a sumptuous French meal for Wenger.

When Wenger arrived at Hugo's house alone at night, Wenger looked at the dinner Hugo had prepared for him with some embarrassment and confusion. He felt that Hugo would misunderstand him.

Yes, Hugo would have misunderstood what Wenger meant. Wenger said that it was his habit to visit Hugo. He thought his boss was good. If he understood football, he would not mind discussing football with his boss. , and it was a regular discussion. In the past, at Arsenal, he and David Dein would meet almost every week and talk about football life. When he arrived in Trapani, he chatted with Hugo several times, and Wenger It was as if Hugo was regarded as such a boss.

So the romantic and generous Wenger took the initiative to come. Out of politeness, after dinner, Hugo invited the professor to sit in his study room, intending to hear what medicine Wenger would buy in the gourd tonight.

Hugo's study actually contains very few things related to football, and there are also very few books, because this study is like a nouveau riche pretending to be a show-off. It is Hugo's home office, and of course there are no What a secret.

The big-bellied Julia and the naughty Angelo brought two cups of coffee to the two of them. Wenger quickly expressed his thanks. Angelo was a little reluctant to leave. He didn't admire Wenger, but wanted to play here. Curious about today The man who came to visit his home.

Wenger was still very good at making things happen. He praised Julia's beauty in person and behaved very gracefully. Julia was so complimented that she felt embarrassed.

"You are truly a true gentleman, Mr. Wenger! I wish you a happy chat!" Julia heartily praised Wenger before leaving.

"Hey, I'm not a gentleman anymore?!" Hugo was very dissatisfied after hearing this, "Am I a fake gentleman?!"

"Ha, you, you are not much of a gentleman, just ask Mr. Zamparini!" Julia flashed away.

Wenger snickered. He knew that Hugo was famous for being good at fighting, and he was famous in the Italian football circle for being a talker. He said that a gentleman really had nothing to do with Hugo.

Before Wenger had finished laughing, Hugo said carelessly: "No, it's not! What's so great about gentlemen? Some gentlemen have a decent reputation. For example, that Galliani is actually full of men stealing and female prostitutes. Isn't that good? thing!"

Looking at the dull expression on Wenger's face, Hugo quickly added, "I'm not talking about you, Mr. Wenger, you are a true gentleman, whether on or off the court, Galliani did not I can’t compare with you! Julia will praise you, but she will never praise Galliani, because he is not!”

Wenger is indeed a gentleman. In 1999, Wenger did a very gentlemanly thing, which attracted him countless fans.

It was during the FA Cup match of the 1998-99 season. In the fifth round of the FA Cup, Arsenal faced Sheffield United at home. With 15 minutes left in the game, the two sides were tied at 1-1. In the 76th minute, Sheffield United player Morris was injured and goalkeeper Alan Kelly took the initiative to kick the ball out of the sideline. Arsenal player Parlor threw a throw-in and threw the ball towards Kelly in the spirit of fair play. However, Kanu, who made his debut for Arsenal, intercepted the ball halfway and assisted Overmars to score. Sheffield United coach Bruce was very dissatisfied and threatened to lead his team to withdraw from the game. Referee Jones came forward to persuade and gave 7 minutes of stoppage time, but Sheffield United still lost 1-2. Immediately after the game, Wenger took the initiative to express his hope for a rematch.

At that time, Arsenal's bosses were all petrified. Nani, damn, we want a rematch. Did you make a mistake? ! After the big boss Wood got the news, he immediately found Dane and asked him to persuade Wenger to cancel this stupid request. Although Dane admires Wenger's gentlemanly demeanor, he also feels that the cost and risk of Wenger's move are too high. After all, the coach has to use results to speak for himself. The risk of replaying is high, so you need to be cautious when applying.

Dane even tried to find a few people who had great influence on Wenger to persuade him to give up his decision to apply for a replay, but in the end Wenger was not persuaded by them and applied to the FA together with Sheffield United. There was a replay, but the two sides fought again 10 days later, and Arsenal still won 2-1 to advance.

This was also a good story at the time, and Wenger has always behaved as a gentleman on the court. There must have been disputes with other coaches, but there was absolutely no such disrespectful behavior or words.

As for off-field, there were recent reports claiming that Wenger was having sex with a little girl. Hugo also knew about this, but it is difficult to tell whether it is true or not. Besides, lovers are not really a thing for Westerners, especially romantic ones. Frenchman, besides, Wenger’s wife is not in a hurry, why are you so anxious! Generally speaking, Wenger is still a polite and handsome old guy, and many people write him love letters.

Therefore, Hugo's praise of Wenger as a true gentleman is not nonsense, and Wenger was very happy to hear it.

"You are also a gentleman, Gigi. I can tell from the few meetings that you are a gentleman! I like your character very much!" Wenger praised Hugo.

Hugo laughed, holding Angelo in one hand, and inviting Wenger to sit down and taste coffee again, "I'd better forget it! I don't want to be a gentleman, I am the simplest and most direct person, as long as I live happily, Okay! To be honest, I don’t have much career pursuits. What I care about most is my family and my team. Anyone who grew up with this club knows my Hugo ambitions. The last century belonged to Real Madrid, but this century is destined to belong to Trapani!”

With this, the chatter started, and Hugo began to tell Wenger about his grand aspirations for the future. He talked about a lot of things without any hesitation, including Hugo's thoughts and expectations for the future global layout.

"Mr. Wenger, you will never regret your choice to come here! In terms of my knowledge of football, maybe I should be the club owner who knows the most about football in the world. You also know that I have also served as the head coach of the team. ! The results of leading the team are not bad, and we have achieved the expected goals! As for our future, you have also heard that we have a football kingdom revolving around Trapani, Guingamp in Ligue 1, and Mexico in Italy. Barcelona, ​​Palermo, Catania, etc. all have very good relations with us. As for South America and Africa, our plan will provide timely feedback to the clubs from outstanding talents there, so you will not regret coming here if you do! If he had come earlier, he might have won the championship! Arsenal, haha, it's still a bit worse! "Hugo is really direct.

Having been in contact with Hugo several times and being familiar with Hugo's words, Wenger didn't take it seriously. Arsenal's situation was not what he originally intended. Arsenal was poor and couldn't retain people. This trend was becoming more and more obvious because of the salary increase. Restrictions, famous stars will inevitably have huge differences with the team, and they will naturally leave if they can't reach an agreement. Wenger's team is the most youthful, but in an interview last year, Wenger talked about the concept of team building , "The age structure of a championship team's lineup must be very reasonable." Wenger said: "In your lineup, you can have one or two very talented young people, but if you want to become a team's core The core age should be 23 to 30 years old. If you look at those international competitions, no team can win the championship just by relying on young people, because in order to pass certain stages, you need strong willpower. A certain amount of experience, these are what young people lack.”

Wenger understands but can't do it. These are determined by Arsenal's economic situation. The fans are absolutely right to scold Arsenal's shareholders.
