"What's going on? How can those guys who didn't play in the game get medals?!" Seeing Villa, Vermaelen and others receiving medals from the Prince of Kent with smiles on their faces, Vieira's mentality exploded. The audience shouted loudly!
"I heard that their boss communicated with the FA in advance and paid an additional amount as the cost of purchasing these medals." Unlike Vieira, who was furious, Pires looked at it with envy at this time. Looking at the Tottenham players who were receiving medals on the stage, "But having said that, Mr. Nelson is really generous, and he is actually willing to spend so much money on his players."
"Humph, this is just a method used by the capitalist to win people's hearts." Vieira snorted coldly and said disdainfully, "Being able to be won over by such a small trick shows that these people are really short-sighted. Okay, I guess they won’t have any big prospects in the future.”
"Even if this is a way to win over people's hearts, Mr. Nelson must have the courage to do it. For a club like ours that attaches great importance to controlling financial expenditures, even if they can think of such a trick, they probably won't be willing to use it, right?" Obviously, right? , Pires did not agree with Vieira's view. In the view of the French star, who has been unable to reach an agreement with Arsenal on the contract renewal issue, as long as George can make similar efforts and take the initiative, and these Tottenham players are not ungrateful white-eyed wolves, then Tottenham's cohesion and players Their loyalty to George will most likely reach a terrifying level!
Apart from anything else, it can be seen from the changes in the expressions of Villa and Ribery that George's warm-hearted offensive almost made these two people decide to leave the team this summer in order to work hard for next year's World Cup in Germany. The players who gave it a try almost changed their minds on impulse and just kept working hard at Tottenham!
In fact, not only players like Villa and Ribery who played for Tottenham had this idea, but even Pires and other Arsenal players who were watching from the sidelines also felt a little excited at this time. After all, Arsenal, which insists on renewing the contracts of players over 30 years old every year and requires veterans who have made great contributions to the Gunners to accept a significant salary cut, is generous and generous in order to retain good players. Tottenham Hotspur, which spares no expense and is more humane, is obviously more suitable for players to play for!
Maybe you can secretly contact Tottenham to see if you can sign with them as a free agent after the contract expires next year? As soon as this idea came up, he could no longer suppress it, and it grew like a weed in Pires' heart!
In this way, when Arsenal fans were devastated by the team's disastrous defeat in the FA Cup final, and Wenger was considering how to further reduce costs this summer, Pires began to secretly think about the feasibility and pros and cons of this plan. !
"Robert (Pires), what are you thinking about? Why don't you speak?" Vieira was scorning Tottenham and George unscrupulously as usual. Suddenly, he noticed that the compatriot standing next to him had a different look on his face, and he couldn't help but become suspicious. He started, "Hey, are you planning to go to Tottenham on a free transfer next summer? Let me talk about the ugly things first. If you really do this, then the friendship between us over the years will no longer exist! "
"Haha, Patrick (Vieira), what nonsense are you talking about? How could I have such an idea?" Upon hearing this, Pires immediately knew that Vieira was suspicious, and quickly defended himself, "Although I did just now I said a few good words about Mr. Nelson, but that doesn’t mean I have any plans to move to Tottenham. I don’t want to be like Sol (Campbell) and end up in a situation where neither side can get a good result.”
Pires knew very well that at this time, he must not reveal the slightest clue in front of anyone. Not to mention anything else, just because of the century-old rivalry between Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur, if the news that Pires intends to transfer to Tottenham on a free agency is revealed, then the Frenchman will play for Arsenal in the last few years. A season will probably never end. Not only will Arsenal fans criticize him in every possible way and even resort to violence, but Wenger will never consider how much playing time he will give to a player who is about to join his rival!
Don't think this is impossible. In England, two teams that are mortal enemies like Tottenham and Arsenal are basically inseparable, and there are very few personnel or business exchanges between the two sides. Even if there is, then this player will often bear the title of "traitor" and become the object of disgust by fans on both sides!
The most typical example is Campbell. After the former Tottenham captain transferred to Arsenal on a free transfer in the summer of 2001, although he helped the Gunners win two Premier League championships and the FA Cup as the main central defender, he was only recognized by Arsenal fans. Not to mention respect and love.
However, unlike Campbell's transfer from Tottenham to Arsenal, Arsenal's senior management and Wenger were not interested in renewing the contract of Piper, who was about to turn 32, because they had tasted a lot of benefits from young players in recent years. Ray didn't care much about anything. This gives Pires enough opportunity and time to secretly contact Tottenham without worrying too much about Arsenal and Wenger's doubts due to difficulties in contract renewal.
Therefore, for the sake of his own future and personal safety, Pires must not let out a single word before the dust settles!
After the award ceremony, Arsenal, which had played its last official game of the season, disbanded on the spot at Wenger's order. Players have packed up their bags and embarked on the long-awaited holiday trip - most of them are preparing to use a wonderful holiday to wash away their fatigue and welcome the new 05-06 season with a new mental outlook!
On the other side, although the Tottenham players were in a very happy mood after beating their local rival Arsenal 5-1 and successfully winning the FA Cup, the players only celebrated briefly at the scene and then returned to London overnight. city. Because everyone knows very well that now is not the time to celebrate - in five days, they will compete with Serie A giant AC Milan in distant Istanbul for the Big Ear Cup, which symbolizes the highest honor of European clubs!
If they are overly excited because of a mere FA Cup championship, which delays the team's preparations for the Champions League final, and ultimately misses the big-eared cup that is so close at hand, then they will be I want to cry without tears!
