The Revelation of the Transfer of Zhekelais: Gun fans have been waiting for the first time in 20 years. Is it faith or anxiety?

Rice is not so crazy! Arsenal's loyalty stayed up late and just to wait for a Swedish official announcement. Faith and anxiety were intertwined. The midsummer of gun fans was even more painful than the Champions League final. In a London bar at 3 a.m., several middle-aged men wearing Arsenal jerseys stared at the screen of their mobile phones and kept refreshing, and the foam of beer in the glass had long dissipated. When the transfer expert Romano's Twitter page finally jumped out of the moment when "Zhekelais deal was reached", the entire bar burst into a roar that was no less than the winning championship. Someone threw a cup, some hugged a stranger, and an old gray-haired fan in the corner quietly wiped his eyes.

"Rice is not so crazy!" This comment, which was on the hot search, revealed the most magical landscape in the Premier League summer window - a 27-year-old Swedish center, and gun fans collectively suffered from "refresh syndrome".

01 Black shop game, a spy war drama on the transfer table

When Portuguese sports chairman Valandas smashed the coffee cup heavily on the negotiating table, Arsenal director Berta knew that this trip to Lisbon would be back in vain. "70 million fixed + 10 million floating, if you lose one euro, go see Enrique!" This is the third time that negotiations have broken down this summer, and the two sides have not given up any inch of land at both ends of the gap between 65 million and 80 million.

Zhekelais' name has become the hottest tongue twister in European football. The terrifying data of 97 goals and 28 assists in the Portuguese Premier League 102 games, coupled with the Brighton-era Premier League defeat history, made all the giants undecided. Only Arsenal is possessed. From June to July, the quotation documents are more frequent than the Champions League plane.

The most dramatic twist is hidden in the commission secret battle. The confidence of the Portuguese slaughtering 80 million yuan to ask for a price is due to the fact that 7 million yuan is required to pay the broker's commission. When the Swedes forced their agents to give up the huge sum of money, Arsenal cleverly reduced the fixed transfer fee to 63.5 million - the great shift of the world that was rising openly and secretly caused the actual arrival of Portuguese to increase by 2.5 million euros.

02 Joined, a carefully calculated gamble, In order to put on the red and white jerseys, Zhekelais staged the most decisive "forced palace trilogy" of the 21st century: clearing all traces of social media, refusing to return to the team to train, and even paying 2 million euros to compensate his old club. When the agent gave up the 7 million commission in tears, the new teammates who had not met in the North London locker room had received the most shocking vote.

This desperate bet contains smart calculations. His annual salary in Portuguese is only 2.5 million euros, while Arsenal's five-year contract gives a sky-high price of 8 million after tax. Giving up the 2 million bonus will result in triple-fold increase in annual salary, which is the most successful leverage operation in your career.

But the risk is like the sword of Damocles hanging over the Kearney training ground. When a certain gun fan lamented on social media, "If it's water, it's going to be a loss", the number of likes instantly exceeded 1,000. After all, the story of the Portuguese super champion defeat in the Premier League from Nunes to Felix is more heart-shaking than the black humor of "Life in London".

03 Faith premium, why is the spiritual need of Emirates Stadium? The data reveals the cruel truth: Arsenal played against the top six teams last season, and his average shooting conversion rate plummeted by 37%. When Haaland scored a hat-trick at Etihad and gun fans watched Jesus kick single, the desire for the "Terminator" had fermented into a collective obsession.

More secret anxiety comes from the trauma of 20 years of championship competition. From Van Persie's departure to Aubameyang's breakup, every time the center vacuum is accompanied by the dynasty's disillusionment. Now Manchester City strengthens Guimares, Liverpool recruits Salah's successor, and Arsenal's "top" Havertz is a guest star after all - fans are waiting for the screen, and the essence is to break the fate.

When the well-known gun fan Pierce Morgan browsed "Here we go!!!" under Romano Twitter, and when the complaints of "changing coaches" and the cheers of "Finally Going Down the Tree" are in close combat in the comments section, what is floating outside the Emirates' stadium is not just the transfer rumors, but the self-salvation of a generation.

04 Behind the heavy bet, North London's ambition code

When Arteta was asked about Zhekelais for the 13th time at the Los Angeles preseason press conference, the tactical board behind him vaguely showed the blueprint for the new season's bet: Mr. 63.5 million is in the center position, and on the right is Mr. 68 million pounds, Eze, who had just negotiated, with a forward dual core price of 118 million pounds, setting up the most luxurious siege ram in the Premier League.

This drama ended with the Swedes putting on red and white battle robes, but the scorching gaze in the stands had already penetrated the present. A introducer who has served at Emirates Stadium for 20 years saw it thoroughly: "What they celebrated is not the arrival of someone, but the final belief - we really deserve the championship this time."

Today's soul-searching: When Arsenal emptied a 300 million budget for a center this summer, do you think this courage will eventually be crowned the hymn or another "nearly" sad song?
