Chapter 188: Two Handshakes

During this period, in St. Petersburg, there was a news that overwhelmed Chen Yingxiong's continuous goals. That was Zenit's star, and their core Arshavin was finally going to betray his team.

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

Naples persevered in launching an offensive for Arshavin.

This offensive still makes people feel inexplicable - weren’t they only interested in Chen Yingxiong before? Why did they suddenly say they wanted to buy Al Shavin?

During this period, if we select a team that Zenit fans hate the most, it will definitely not be the CSKA Moscow or Sparta Moscow, but Naples far away in Italy.

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

He had to poach Zenit's two pillars in one breath, which was to kill Zenit!

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

When the transfer rumors began to appear, Zenit's fans firmly believed that the team's flag would never abandon them. How could Shawa, who grew up in St. Petersburg, be a "non-class" player like Chen Yingxiong? Faced with the transfer rumors of Naples, he would definitely come forward to clarify!

But a day later, Al Shavin did not come forward to refute the rumors. He was silent with an ambiguous attitude, and rumors began to appear in the market that "Shava wanted to leave Zenit".

Two days later, Arshaven's agent Rachi came forward, but did not refute the rumors, but said in an interview with the media: "Naples? Why not? That's the Serie A team!"

Three days later, Al Shavin and Edvokat had a face-to-face conversation. Apart from the two of them, perhaps the agent Rachit, no one knew what they were talking about. But after coming out, Edvokat seemed very angry. Al Shavin still refused to reveal a word in front of Rulin's microphone.

On the fifth day, the media gathered at Zenit Club because Al Shavin will interview with the team's general manager Sasania on this day. Judging from this matter alone, Al Shavin has obviously solved Edvokat, and now it is his turn to deal with the club's general manager Sasania. So what will be the result? This is why many media gathered outside the club department. You must know that Sasania firmly opposes Al Shavin's transfer. For so many years, Al Shavin's ability to stay in Zenit has a lot to do with his efforts.

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

Twenty million may be considered a "high price" for Arshavin, but for Naples, it may not be anything. The most important thing is that Sasania, who has refused to negotiate prices with any team before, actually offered a price, which shows that his attitude has been loosened.

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

Both parties' quotes appeared, and all this seemed to be irreversible.

At least for ordinary Zenit fans, they can only watch the clubs of both sides bargain in the media, just like buying a jacket in the Chinese market, discussing the future of their team flags in their minds.

There were fans outside the training base in Eudney Park in Zenit, holding banners and posters of Arshavin begging him to stay.

But the power of ordinary fans is insignificant, and they are simply unable to influence the club's senior 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 my time at Zenit, and I know what this team means to me. But I am twenty-five years old. I hope to go to the top leagues in Europe to find my value... I really don't have many years to waste. I hope everyone understands my decision. I will never betray you, betray St. Petersburg, or betray Zenit! No matter where I go in the future, I am a child from St. Petersburg, my girlfriend, my children are from St. Petersburg, and I have been branded as St. Petersburg in my life..."

When Arshavin spoke his true words to everyone with a sincere expression on the TV screen, many fans burst into tears in front of the TV.

Because they knew that the departure of idols and flags was irreversible.

At this time, Chen Yingxiong met Arshaven again in the private room called "Qiuju" in Ruilongju. This time, there was also Arshaven's agent and Pierre Paul Marino, the general manager of the Naples Club.

After Napoli raised the transfer fee to 16 million euros, the transfer transaction was almost impossible to be stopped. St. Petersburg Zenit also put forward their request, and it was a condition that he would never give in, that is, he would not give in until after the 2008 Russian Premier League season, which means that his transfer date was January 1, 2009.

Of course, Chen Yingxiong wanted to go to Naples with Arshavin, but what he said didn't count.

Moreover, the meaning of Zenit in St. Petersburg is very clear - if you don’t agree to this condition, then let’s not talk about Alshaven’s transfer. Even if you pay 30 million euros, you won’t talk about it.

Naples quickly made concessions. Anyway, they valued the most. As long as Chen Yingxiong can come this summer, it would be enough. As for Al Shawen... he was originally the leader of Chen Yingxiong's transfer, and it didn't matter when he came... January 1st will be January 1st next year.

Now, Marino flew over from Italy to negotiate a personal contract with Al Shavin.

When Chen Yingxiong invited them to eat at this "designated Chinese restaurant", the personal contracts between the two parties had actually been negotiated. Chen Yingxiong didn't know what the weekly salary was Al Shawen. This was someone else's privacy, so he didn't ask.

A special report on Al Shavin's transfer is being played on the TV in the box.

"Shawa?"

Arshavin moved his eyes off the TV screen.

Marino had reached out to him.

"Welcome to Naples, Mr. Arshavin!"

Al Shavin had a faint smile on his face, but no one could see his heart from this smile. What is the future like when leaving St. Petersburg Zenit in this way and going to a completely unfamiliar team? Is this transfer good for the players or for the agent?

At least the agent Rachit, who stood next to Al Shavin, smiled and was very happy.

After shook hands with Al Shavin, Marino turned around and shook hands at Chen Yingxiong: "Now you can sign the contract, hero?"

He later learned why de Laurentis wanted him to contact Alshaven. It turned out that it was because the guy in front of him called the boss directly... and told the boss that if he didn't sign Alshaven, he would not sign the contract that had been negotiated!

Really bold!

Marino knew the boss's temper. If a player dared to threaten him like this, he would definitely die miserably. Lavic never mentioned any salary increase after seeing the power of De Laurentis...

But what surprised Marino was that De Laurentis, the boss with a volatile personality, actually agreed!

Just like spoiling his grandson, he agreed to this request that Marino seemed absolutely unreasonable!

And with his push, Al Shavin's transfer was really successful!

Of course he knew how difficult it would be to take Arshavin away from Zenit, St. Petersburg... But now he actually signed two Zenit players in one go. These two players are definitely not just a cat or a dog who can find a substitute, but... the core pillar! An absolute main shooter, and an absolute main core!

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

At the beginning, he was just a little interested in the very inflammatory self-promotion disc written in the copy. Out of curiosity, he opened the disc... Unexpectedly, this disc would trigger so many stories later and change the fate of the two people. Of course, it might 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: "Your joining is welcome too, Maradona's Naples welcomes you, hero!"

The transfer between Chen Yingxiong and Arshavin was finally settled before the match against Bayern Munich. For Edvocart, this may be the only comfort - because the impact of his team's preparation for Bayern Munich was minimized.

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

In the fifth round, Zenit scored a goal against the Soviet Wings, helping Zenit draw 1-1 with the Soviet Wings at home.

In the sixth round, the team scored twice in the game against Saturn, helping the team beat Saturn 3:1 away.

Although his record of scoring twice in four consecutive games was broken, this did not hurt his reputation throughout Russia. Moreover, he soon scored twice again in the match against Saturn. Some media even gave Chen Yingxiong a new nickname: "Mr. Score Two"!
