The Premier League does not have as many games as the Championship.

So it will end a little earlier.

Their games have all ended, and Arsenal has officially announced that Wenger, the old coach who has led the team for 22 years, will officially retire.

The club held a farewell event for him, and there will be a small private event in the evening.

Lehmann sent an invitation to this event.

Li Yanqing temporarily unloaded his work in the team and went directly to the north of the British capital with the former.

As for Chris and Neville, they stayed at the club to deal with the rest of the things.

When Li Yanqing and Lehmann arrived, the event had already started.

There were not many people on the scene, basically some private friends invited by Wenger.

Most of the Arsenal players did not come, as they had said goodbye to their head coach during the day.

"Jose? Why are you here too?"

Li Yanqing was surprised to find that there were more coaches in this event, even Mourinho was here.

"Wenger is a respectable person, so I came."

"Besides, it's not uncommon for me to be here."

"Look over there..."

Mourinho pointed to the other side, where several people were talking.

And one of them looked familiar to Li Yanqing.

"Is that... Sir Alex Ferguson?"

"Hahaha, yes." The former's surprised expression made Mourinho very satisfied.

"Isn't his presence here more of a big news than mine?"

"To be honest, I want to go up and ask for an autograph." Li Yanqing shook his head and sighed. For him today, idol-level figures accounted for the majority of people here.

Wenger, Ferguson...

Who would have thought that his coaching career for more than half a year would bring him to a gathering of this level?

"They have been at loggerheads for many years."

"But it's all right now."

"There are only a few old men here who share the same pain."

Mourinho shrugged and continued.

"One day I will retire, too. To be honest, I'm a little looking forward to who will be there on that day..."

"It's hard to have Guardiola." Li Yanqing gave his evaluation.

After Wenger and Ferguson retired, he and Guardiola were the two biggest coaches in the Premier League.

One in Manchester City, the other in Manchester United.

They were also at loggerheads.

"That's another story."

Mourinho shook his head. Although Manchester United won the second place in the league this season, which was the best result since Ferguson retired, he felt more and more uncomfortable.

"Let's not talk about this. Congratulations on the promotion, Li."

"Burton hasn't been promoted yet."

"There are two games left, and we are still three points behind."

"They won't be your opponents." Mourinho was full of confidence in Li Yanqing.

"We will meet in the Premier League next season."

"I think... yes." Li Yanqing was no longer modest.

He just wanted to win all the games. Swansea City only won a small victory in the last game and could not catch up with any goal difference.

"The professor is waiting for you..." Lehmann looked at his watch and suddenly interrupted the conversation between the two.

There would be no end to the conversation.

"Oh, go quickly, don't keep the host waiting for too long." Mourinho didn't care and pushed Li Yanqing inside.

"Okay, sir, see you next season."

......

In the innermost part of the hall.

Wenger was sitting there in a daze. When he saw Li Yanqing and Lehmann coming over, his eyes lit up.

"Li!"

"You are finally here!"

"Yes, professor, congratulations on your 'winning' in your last season."

Li Yanqing still remembered the other party's famous saying.

Fighting for the top four is equivalent to winning the championship!

"Yes, yes, that is more important to me than the championship."

Wenger didn't care about the other party's joke, because he had already achieved his goal for this season.

"Would you like some wine?"

"Brandy, or whiskey..."

"I might be more used to drinking beer now." Li Yanqing looked helpless.

This can't be blamed on him, Burton Town doesn't have many people who drink these, there is beer smell everywhere...

"I almost forgot that you are in Burton." Wenger also smiled, and then pulled Lehmann over.

"I asked you to come here, actually I have something to ask you to help."

"I want Lehmann to be your assistant..."

"No problem

, Professor. " Before he finished speaking, Li Yanqing couldn't wait to say.

"Lehmann is willing to come to Burton, which is a great help to me."

"That's good." Wenger nodded, but soon sighed.

"Lehmann has a place to stay, and Mertesacker will stay in the team after retirement."

"Now only Cazorla is left to do."

"Cazorla!"

This player is on Li Yanqing's reinforcement list. He needs a veteran who is of sufficient level but can't compete with Quinn for playing time.

"Professor, is he willing to come to Burton?"

"Burton?" Wenger seemed to think for a while and said.

"I suggested that he go to Villarreal before, but the other party may not be willing to sign him. "

"You can ask him yourself, but his condition..."

Li Yanqing knew that Cazorla had been in poor condition without the other party's reminder.

The player had undergone a total of eight operations since October 2016, which caused him to be completely reimbursed for the 2016-17 season.

Since then, he has never been able to regain his form, but the player still wants to continue playing.

This situation is exactly what Li Yanqing is best at dealing with.

"I think I can help him get back to form."

"Can you?" Wenger looked a little confused.

But he soon thought of Nasri in Burton.

The situation is really not much different.

"Speaking of which, how did you activate Nasri?"

"This should confuse Guardiola for a long time..."

"This is exactly what I am good at." Li Yanqing smiled mysteriously. He couldn't explain the entry.

"It seems that my decision to retire was right. "Wenger didn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

Guardiola couldn't activate Nasri, and he couldn't activate Cazorla either.

But the young man in front of him was full of confidence.

It seems... it's time to give up his position.

He used to bring out many superstars, but in recent years, Mourinho's Chelsea, Guardiola's Manchester City...

The way they spend money is simply devastating.

All this made the old man feel very tired.

Fortunately, in the last period of this season, he found his feeling.

"I will mention this to Cazorla, and I will pay attention to your games next season."

"Let's see how he performs then."

"Also, thank you, Li..."
