I'm 1.9 meters tall and weigh 200 pounds, can I pull the hem?

Arsenal's formal offer came two days later than Manchester United's.

I went to the bank and went through a lot of procedures.

On the morning of January 6, another news item sparked discussion in the football world.

Arsenal make €20 million bid for Liu Yang to prevent Manchester United from poaching him, and intend to activate the buy-back clause!

Welcome home!

- [Haha, great! Arsenal is about to take off!]

[What a load of rubbish! They could have just kept it for themselves, but now they're spending an extra 20 million! Wenger, that senile old fool!]

- [What does this have to do with Wenger? It was the management's idea! If it weren't for Wenger, there wouldn't even be a buy-back clause!]

[I, a Manchester United fan, fully support Arsenal in signing Liu Yang!]

- [Haha, Liu Yang has already scored 8 goals and provided 3 assists in just one month on the pitch, which is better than any other player in Manchester United's attacking line!]

- [Exactly, even if they score zero points for the rest of the season, considering this single-season statistic, age, and homegrown status, Manchester United should be grateful if they can snag him for 60 million!]

Don't jinx it, bro!

Unlike the lively war of words between Arsenal and Manchester United fans, Aston Villa fans were generally quite pessimistic.

- [With Liu Yang gone, there's no hope of avoiding relegation this season.]

- [This management is full of idiots; they shouldn't be sold even if Manchester United offered 100 million!]

- [They actually agreed to a buyback clause just to save money? Almstadt is such a useless company!]

- [Almstadt, get out!]

[Not necessarily, guys. We also offered Liu Yang a contract extension, so maybe he'll reject both Arsenal and Manchester United!]

……

January 9, FA Cup.

Aston Villa defeated Wycombe Wanderers, a League Two side, 2-0 at home.

Liu Yang sat on the bench and did not play.

After the match, Liu Yang bowed to express his gratitude to the home crowd who wanted him to stay.

Aston Villa fans' last hope has been dashed.

Reports, some true and some false, followed Liu Yang's movements.

"A second Robin van Persie? Manchester United may win over Liu Yang with a higher salary?"

Reversal? Manchester United reporter clarifies: Liu Yang has not yet responded.

Henry: I hope Liu Neng returns to Arsenal; his ball control is very similar to mine when I was young.

Wenger personally visits Birmingham.

Ferguson: Liu is an excellent player

……

On January 13, Arsenal drew 3-3 with Liverpool at home.

Besides the exciting goal-fest, there was also some reassuring news for Arsenal fans.

During the match, the camera panned to the stands, showing familiar faces to the Gunners fans.

"Liu!"

"He came to watch the game!"

"Come back, Arsenal's boys!"

The day after the match, Arsenal released an official press release.

The team invoked its buy-back clause to re-sign Liu Yang.

Later, Aston Villa also released an official statement confirming Liu Yang's departure from the team.

"He's really back!"

"Our new prince!"

"Tremble, Premier League! Arsenal have a new core!"

……

When Liu Yang left, several of Vera's friends were reluctant to part with him.

Grealish, Guy, and Traore came together to see him off.

"I'll miss you, Liu."

"You assisted me for the youth team's first goal."

"The first assist for the senior team was from my pass that led to your goal."

Despite his muscular physique, the young Spanish man was a sensitive and thoughtful young man, and he even shed tears as he spoke.

"Cheer up, Adama, my leaving might be a good thing for you."

"Mr. Gard might give you more opportunities."

"Watch more videos, practice your passing and shooting, and you'll become very strong."

Liu Yang patted his head.

"Take care, Liu. Next time we meet, we'll be facing off directly."

"I look forward to that day; I won't hold back then."

Guy gave him a very serious high five.

He's a few years older than these guys, and his playing style is already quite mature.

Several clubs have recently expressed interest in him.

Grealish gave Liu Yang a tight hug with a complicated expression.

"What a pity, we could have worked together to make Vera stronger..."

"I'm sorry, Jack..."

"It's nothing," Grealish said with an understanding look. "You grew up at Arsenal."

"Just like I grew up at Aston Villa, I understand your feelings."

"Next time we meet, we'll be rivals."

"Not necessarily. If we both work hard, we might even become teammates on the England national team."

Grealish smiled and lowered his voice.

"To be honest, Liu, I've been with Vera longer than you, and I know a lot more than you do."

"The management of this team is absolutely rotten. Now that you're gone, our chances of staying in the league are really slim."

"Unless the owners successfully sell the team, we estimate we'll be stuck in the Championship for a few more years."

"The England national team will not be selecting players from the Championship."

"But this is the team I've supported since I was a child, and the place where I grew up."

"Just like your Arsenal."

"Perhaps when I become stronger, we can come back."

Liu Yang didn't know what to say, so he could only hug Grealish again.

Take care, brother.

Take care, Jack.

"I'll come to London and invite you for drinks when I have time."

Liu Yang smiled; he knew this was Grealish trying to ease the somewhat heavy atmosphere.

"Don't drink too much like you used to. There's no one as big as me, or you'll get photographed by tabloid reporters."

at the same time.

The office building of Aston Villa.

A small group of extreme fans are protesting.

"Incompetent Almstadt!"

"To save three million euros, they actually agreed to let Arsenal include a buy-back clause!"

"Almstadt, get out!"

"Randy Lerner, get out!"

"We need a new boss!"

Eggs, rotten vegetable leaves, and beverage bottles were bombarding the walls and windows of the office building.

……

Back in London.

Gnabry hugged Liu Yang tightly at the station, beaming with joy.

"Haha, buddy, you're back too!"

"What did I tell you? We'll always have a chance to fight side-by-side!"

Inside the station hall, there were several reporters from different media outlets.

"Mr. Liu Yang, why did you reject the contract from Manchester United?"

"According to our inside information, Manchester United offered a much higher salary than Arsenal. Did you give up a higher salary because of your affection for Arsenal?"

"Your style of play at Aston Villa requires a lot of possession. Does this clash with Sanchez's playing style?"

The flashbulbs kept going off.

Liu Yang turned around.

"Arsenal wants me back, Mr. Wenger wants me back."

After saying that, he and Gnabry got into a taxi.

Go ahead and go.

……

"Great, you're both back!"

Mrs. Stubbs carried a bowl of soup out of the kitchen and placed it on the table.

Watching the two young people wolf down their food, the old man's silvery-white hair trembled slightly with joy.

"Mrs. Stubbs, your cooking is still as good as ever!"

Liu Yang drank the entire bowl of soup in one go.

Great Britain is a culinary desert, so finding good food is incredibly difficult.

The soup he drank at most restaurants was basically just big snot stewed with second snot, then blended into a paste with a "whoosh" sound in a blender.

In comparison, Mrs. Stubbs's cooking skills were like those of a culinary master.

"If you like it, that's good. If you like it, that's good."

"You two can continue living here from now on..."

"With pleasure, Mrs. Stubbs, but don't forget to watch TV tonight; Young Yang has to attend Arsenal's signing ceremony!"
