There is a dream called football

"Arthur, I think we still have to respond, otherwise the media will make a mess."

Wenger frowned, "How to respond? It's just a matter of speculation?"

"I think it's better to let Henry fly to Liverpool."

"No need."

"But……"

"Don't worry, I can handle it all. If you have any questions, just let them ask me."

*****

Sure enough, this became big news at the press conference. Mourinho's side has been relatively honest recently, but there was a problem here, so the reporters were still very excited. It was really a feast for the eyes.

"Arthur, we have received news that Barcelona has secured Henry and will join him in June next year, and the contract and everything has been finalized."

Wenger chuckled and said, "I'm sorry, I don't know where you got the news from, but I didn't know there was such a thing."

"You don't know that Henry is joining Barcelona?"

Wenger's heart skipped a beat. There was a trap in this question, so Wenger chuckled and said, "Please answer me first, where did you get the news? Is it news from Arsenal Club?"

"No, it's news from The Sun."

Wenger immediately laughed, "The Sun? Are you kidding me?"

Wenger was laughing, but no one was laughing at the scene. Everyone was waiting for his answer because this was big news.

"Well, I know what you are thinking, and I can answer you, Henry will not transfer, no!"

*****

London.

Henry was also mobbed by reporters.

"Will you leave Arsenal?"

"How will you spend the next half season? Will it feel weird, after all, you are leaving soon."

"Why did you leave? Money? Or better development."

Henry couldn't say a word about this. He had to talk to Wenger on the phone before he could answer the reporter. But Henry already knew in his heart that the rumors this time were not just rumors, but true. He was going to leave.

Already.

Henry, who is about to turn 30, has to live for himself and make the most important change in his career.

****

When Wenger received the call, he was silent at first. After endless silence, Wenger asked: "Is what is said outside true?"

"I'm sorry, boss. What the media said this time is true. I am indeed leaving Arsenal."

Wenger had expected this. Of course he knew that Henry's childhood dream was to join Barcelona.

"Your timing is terrible."

"Boss, it's not my fault. I don't know how the news leaked."

Wenger chuckled and said, "In this era, it is too easy for news to leak. I don't mean to blame you, but I am afraid it will affect the morale of the military."

Henry was very ashamed. If Arsenal's performance was affected because of his incident, then he would not feel better.

"Boss, I can deny it."

"No, come forward and admit it, make it official."

"But……"

"I know, this is private."

Although UEFA stipulates that players cannot be contacted privately, Wenger himself does the same, dealing with the players first and then the club, so Wenger will not be so pretentious.

"You are 30 years old and have played for Arsenal for 8 years. You have dedicated your best years to Arsenal. I have nothing to say. You are different."

Henry shed tears. He knew that for anyone else, the only fate would be to be completely blocked by Wenger, but he was different. He had contributed to the team and he was already 30 years old.

"Let's make it official. I won't embarrass you, and I won't charge an exorbitant price for the transfer fee. Let everything be over in one day, otherwise those guys will harass me for a whole year, and I can't stand the next half.

During the season, they ask me this question every day."

This is a matter of long-term pain rather than short-term pain. Henry suddenly felt that Wenger was right, so he nodded, "Okay, I will let my agent handle it immediately."

*****

"You stayed after training. I have something to say."

What everyone didn't expect was that Wenger was going to say something about Henry.

"Have you all heard the rumors outside?"

"What rumor?"

"Don't act stupid with me, you know what I'm talking about."

"hehe."

Van Persie made everyone laugh.

"Well, I think everyone knows about the rumors about Henry."

Many people nodded.

No one dared to ask anything, but of course they were looking forward to it. Everyone wanted to know where Henry's future would be?

Wenger chuckled, "Well, what I want to tell you is that Henry will transfer to Barcelona next season. He has played for Arsenal for 8 years. Now he needs to start a new journey. I think we should be happy for him.

.”

Regarding this, some people are reluctant, and some are surprised. The emotions are all kinds of strange, but one thing is certain, surprise.

"The reason why I told everyone in advance is to minimize the impact of this incident on the team."

"I don't want this to affect the development of the team. We are Arsenal and it is normal for players to come and go."

Everyone was silent.

"Okay, that's it, this is what I want to say."

*****

"Yes, I will move to Barcelona. The specific contract details have not been finalized yet, but what I can tell you is that this is something that has been unanimously agreed upon by myself, Barcelona, ​​and Arsenal."

"Didn't Arthur keep you?"

"He blessed me."

"What made you leave?"

"Childhood dreams and challenges to the unknown."

"Will this affect your relationship with Arsenal fans, because many people thought you would stay at Arsenal forever."

Henry laughed at this.

"I don't think so. I still love Arsenal. I hope the fans won't blame me. After all, I spent the best eight years here."

The reporter took to the streets to interview some Arsenal fans, and all of them were reluctant to leave.

"Henry is Arsenal's best striker. I fell in love with Henry when I was watching football, but..."

The fan choked up, "This is life, football is also a part of life. You can't expect football to be an exception, so I wish Henry a good life in Barcelona, ​​but don't score against Arsenal again."

After the official announcement, the good effect was immediate, and the media enthusiasm was just that. Wenger also officially expressed his blessing to Henry, and Wenger said that this is the last time to comment on this matter, and this matter has been over.

.

"I've given you everything you need to know, this matter is over and I think Arsenal will get back to our game."

"Note, we are not a one-man team."
