Chapter 42 The Era That Is Coming to an End

"We need to keep investing! We need to buy people!"

"We lost to Chelsea and were tied with Bournemouth. Our performance this season has been terrible. We need to change!"

In the Arsenal senior meeting, the club's chairman and chief executive Usmanov roared deafeningly.

Usmanov angrily expressed his dissatisfaction with the current team.

They are the Champions League champions!

They are Arsenal!

How could they play so poorly!

In recent games, he didn't dare to watch the game live because he was afraid that he would get angry and beat someone up.

The performance of individual Arsenal players was simply terrible.

These guys have become Arsenal's worms and he wants to clean them up.

Facing Usmanov's filial piety, other directors and senior executives subconsciously looked to Usmanov's left hand side.

Sitting there was a slightly fat old man with white hair.

David Dene!

A legend who led Arsenal to glory.

Although he left Arsenal for a period of time, he has re-entered and joined forces with other directors to form a momentum to suppress Usmanov, and even took away part of the management rights and transfer rights from the opponent.

David Dane wiped his glasses calmly, ignoring the gazes of others.

Usmanov also saw this scene, he couldn't help but snorted, turned around and said, "Mr. Dane, you should stand up at this time and stand on the same line as me. We are all serving Arsenal!" "

Hearing this, David Dane smiled and nodded: "Of course I understand this, but there are some things that you can't be too anxious about!"

"How can we not be anxious? We can still draw now, but what about the future? If we lose to those newly promoted teams, God! I can't even imagine it!" Usmanov roared again.

David Dein turned slightly sideways, picked his ears, and then coughed lightly and said: "We didn't say we won't sell people. Arsenal's current situation is indeed difficult, and they also need a certain amount of personnel to supplement, but we can't change the coach! "

Usmanov said dissatisfiedly; "Do you think Patrese led the team well?"

David Dein: "I admit that Patrice's leadership effect is not particularly good, and he is not a suitable candidate to be the head coach, but we cannot change coaches easily!"

After speaking, David Dein looked at Usmanov and said: "We have to wait for him to come back, don't we?"

Hearing this, Usmanov's tone was choked.

Even as the chairman, he did not dare to speak ill of Wenger. After all, this old Frenchman was too important to Arsenal.

"But no one knows when he will be back, and Arsène is not healthy. No offense, but we need a healthier head coach! This is all for the future of Arsenal!"

David Dein: "Even so, we can't change the head coach now."

"First, there is no suitable candidate."

"Second, after Patrice left, can coach Nobuhiro really be able to control the locker room?"

"third"

David Dein said with a stern expression: "Don't forget what is the relationship between Kai and Patrice. Once you oust Patrice, you will force our captain away!"

Hearing this, other directors and senior executives spoke one after another:

"This is not okay! Kai can't leave!"

"He is the future of Arsenal and our captain!"

"We can't change coaches! We need to take care of Kai's feelings!"

"I know Mr. Dane."

Seeing other directors and senior executives like this, Usmanov was furious.

He sneered: "It seems that this meeting will be the same regardless of whether I am present or not. Let's go!"

After saying that, Usmanov walked away.

He slammed the conference room door shut.

The loud slamming of the door seemed to respond to his anger.

Seeing Usmanov leaving, the other directors and senior management breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mr. Dane, is it really right for us to do this?"

A senior executive said bitterly; "He is the boss after all!"

David Dein: "But he cannot treat Arsenal as a game. He feels that money can solve everything, but there are some things that money cannot solve."

"What about Patrice?"

"You can't leave!" David Dein said solemnly: "At least you can't leave this season!"

After the meeting, David Dein went straight downstairs to the head coach's office.

He knocked on the door for a while and found no response. When he walked in, he found that Patrice was concentrating on the computer with headphones on his ears. He seemed completely unaware of his arrival.

David Dein did not interrupt. After waiting for about ten minutes, Patrice took off his headphones and looked at David Dein.

"Why are you here?" Patrice asked in surprise.

As old partners, although the relationship between the two is not as close as Wenger and David Dein, it is still very friendly.

David Dein shrugged and said, "I wanted to see if you were slacking off."

"How is that possible?" Patrice shook his head, then rubbed his eyebrows and said bitterly: "There are a lot of things to solve. I finally understand. I am not a qualified head coach. Looking at those lineup lists and training plans, I My head is going to explode.”

"When Arsene is in charge again, he still has to take care of transfer issues. With this intensity of work, this guy deserves to be sick!"

Hearing this, David Dane couldn't help laughing.

"Arsene would be devastated if he heard this."

The corners of Patrice's lips curled up and he said with a smile: "He won't mind. Who told him to dump this mess on me? He owes me!"

After saying that, Patrice looked at the time and suddenly said, "Is the meeting over?"

David Dein nodded.

Patrice: "Usmanov left two hours ago, so you didn't have a pleasant conversation?"

"He has his own opinions! And I also have my own persistence!" David Dein shrugged: "You know it."

Patrice nodded, he knew it all too well.

The reason why David Dein left at that time was because he and Kroenke had refuted opinions, but both of them had their own persistence, and finally David Dein chose to withdraw.

This time Wenger brought this guy back, obviously giving him a lot of support.

"Does he want to copy me?" Patrice said.

David Dein was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said: "Copying is not a problem, but I want to change the head coach."

Patrice nodded; "Whoever brings Arsenal to this point, the chairman will want to replace him."

"He's too anxious!"

David Dane shook his head.

"It's not a rush!" Patrice shook his head: "I can't find any clue at all. I can't reorganize the lineup, let alone how to continue to make Arsenal strong."

After saying that, Patrice said with a wry smile; "We really need an experienced head coach."

"You seem to think Alsek will never come back." David Dein smiled.

But Patrice did not laugh. He said seriously: "Actually, I don't want Arsene to come back to work, at least not now. His physical condition is too bad. Three days ago, he was hospitalized again and his condition worsened. It's getting worse. This is the third time he has become ill during his recuperation. We can't harm him."

Hearing this, David Dane fell silent.

He has also heard about Wenger's physical condition. Although he is not able to visit him often, his condition is not optimistic.

"So you also think we should change the coach?" David Dein asked.

Patrice nodded fiercely; "Yes! Change the coach! And it requires a major change! Get rid of the entire coaching staff and then reorganize!"

Immediately, Patales sighed: "Arsenal under Wenger has come to an end!"

After saying that, both of them fell silent.

It will be sad to see the Wenger era come to an end.

For many Arsenal fans, Wenger represents Arsenal.

And now, this meritorious coach is about to retire from the football stage. How can this not be lamentable?

"We have to respect Arsena's choice!" David Dein said.

Patrice shook his head and said, "Even if he nods, I will stop him immediately and hold his head between his legs to make him shake his head!"

"He can't continue, he will become an idiot!"

The entrance to the Arsenal office building.

David Dein walked out.

He turned to look at the office building, with some inexplicable colors in his eyes.

A little sad and a little helpless.

He had brought the French here with his own hands, and now he was letting them leave with his own hands.
