Fans were in tears! When entering the factory Yorke broke up with his girlfriend + training strike + salary cut + agent gave up commission

At three in the morning at Lisbon Airport, Yorkress pushed her suitcase to the boarding gate alone. The last message from his Portuguese girlfriend was lit up on the screen of the phone. He hovered his fingertips for a moment and finally pressed the shutdown key. The terminal TV is broadcasting sports news: "The Portuguese Sports Forward has been on training for eight consecutive days, and the locker room has been cleared..." He lowered his hat brim and turned around and entered the security check channel. Behind him was an annual salary of 2 million euros, seven years of relationship and the glory of the Portuguese Golden Boot - just to exchange for a one-way ticket to London.

The most expensive lieutenant in football history When news of Manchester United's rejection of Portuguese-Sports' proposal came, the senior executives of Old Trafford may have not expected that the Swedish striker had already built an iron wall of will. In order to land on the Emirates Stadium, Yorkezb made a chess game of burning his boats:

1. The love field was broken, and his Portuguese girlfriend had been separated for seven years, and the social media photo was cleared overnight. Behind the determination to "reduce concern" is the desperate North London obsession. The scene of his girlfriend crying when saying goodbye at the airport was called "the most expensive transfer price" by Portuguese media.

2. Salary cut

Voluntarily waived the 2 million euro salary in the contract, which is equivalent to actively cutting 30% of the annual salary. When the Saudi giants waved their double offer, he held Arsenal's 200,000 pounds per weekly salary without looking back.

3. The game of training strike

mysteriously evaporated from the training ground from July 12. The canteen aunt revealed to the media: "His meal plate is covered with thin dust." Absent from Portuguese senior management for eight consecutive days angered the Portuguese executives. The club lawyer searched through the terms and wanted to threaten "absent without reason to constitute a termination of the contract", but he was worried that the transfer fee of tens of millions of euros would be wiped out and gave up.

4. The agent's backlash

A dramatic scene came: the agent Chetinkaya suddenly gave up the 10% commission (about 7 million euros) and pushed the fixed transfer fee from 70 million euros to 63.5 million euros. This old friend, who had a close personal relationship with Arteta, dismantled the last line of defense of Portuguese, opposite the negotiating table.

Gun fans talked about the jokes that were crazy about social media: "In the past, Van Persie wore a Manchester United jersey, but Xiaofa gave it back to Barcelona. Now someone has killed someone and abandoned tens of millions of gold, just to come to our factory to carry the gun!"

⚔️ The dilemma of the black store: the collapse of a gentleman agreement

The core of this transfer tug-of-war is the promise that Portuguese Sports Chairman Valandas personally tore up. In the summer window of 2024, Yorke could have gone to the wealthy family, but chose to cut salary and renew the contract in exchange for the "gentleman agreement": if a team quotes more than 60 million euros in 2025, Portuguese Sports must release people.

When Arsenal really paid out a floating offer of 63.5 million + 10 million, Valandas denied: "We only said we don't want 100 million, but we didn't agree to 60 million!"

Such fickle behavior even his fans angrily scolded: "Royce and Figo's youth training signs were crushed by greed!"

What's more ironic is that when the agent gave up the commission to promote the transaction, Portuguese actually set a trap on the floating clause - requiring Arsenal to have to win the Champions League before paying 10 million euros. Arteta threw a cup in the conference room and yelled: "Is there a yarn to discuss terms?" The gunman immediately cut off the contact for six days.

Technical Solution: Why is the fatal adaptation of the efficiency monster worthy of such a big bet? Open York's data book to know the clues:

102 games with a terrifying efficiency of 97 goals, 54 goals and 13 assists in nuclear explosion performance last season, and 5 goals in 6 games with a big game. But what speeds up the Gunners' technical department's heartbeat is the three perfect tools he makes up for:

1. Ending the Black Hole Terminator

Last season, Arsenal squandered 67 excellent opportunities, while Yorke converted 1 goal per 1.1 shot, with a scoring rate of over 80%. The regret of Havertz's kicking three meters in front of the goal may be replaced by the Swedes's throat.

2. Cross Recycling Bin

1m 89 height + 68% success rate, just like a custom-made for the Gunners' most crosses in the Premier League. When Saka's arc ball rises from the right, the white figure in the penalty area is finally no longer just Trosad's thin outline.

3. High-voltage system puzzle

Average 3.2 successful confrontations +1.8 key passes per game, which can not only withstand the iron wall of the Premier League central defender, but also retreat and connect the attack. Arteta's 4-3-3 high-voltage machine ushers in the last gear.

⚖️ Double-edged sword: The Premier League trial behind loyalty

When gun fans sang "Touching North London's 2025 Person of the Year", the calm tactical analyst pointed out three hidden worries:

The Portuguese Super League's average 7.1 matches may become a paper talk in front of the Premier League's beast-level defender; headers only account for 12% of the total career goals, which is inconsistent with the Gunners' cross firepower; can the steel body with a total attendance of 50+ in two years withstand the Devil's Christmas in England?

Deeper worries are at the level of human nature. The storm of the training has made European clubs secretly alert. Dembele transferred to Barcelona before and became a "glass man", and Coutinho later joined but lost the Camp Nou - When the passionate heart hits the ice wall of competitive reality, will those love, money and dignity that have been given up turn into heavy shackles in the locker room?

New gun loading: The journey from the letter of title to the merit book

The signing of the contract was settled on July 22, and the floating clause of 63.5 million + 10 million was implemented. Yorke's set-up photo of wearing a red and white robe lit up the Emirates Stadium. The old gun fans choked up from the stands: "From the method of paying back, Fan Xiongxin to Song's fame, thirty years of blood and tears, I finally saw someone coming for our factory!"

The opening game of the new season, when the Swedes stepped into the lawn facing the tsunami, the pain of breaking up, the controversy of training, and the choice of salary cuts will all be melted into the sharpest arrowheads. His eyes swept across the stands - there was no old love from Portugal, only a new love from North London. Thirty thousand arms raised a huge TIFO for him, with the fans' oath printed on it: "Even if the road ahead is full of thorns, your sincerity will always be recorded in the history of the arsenal!"

> Arteta patted him on the shoulder in the locker room: "Now you only need to do one thing-

> Shoot all those sacrifices into the opponent's goal."
