Wenger: To conquer football, you need someone to assist you!

Hazard goes without saying — at his peak with Chelsea, he was unquestionably the best player in the Premier League.

Even though he later regressed into "Burger King" after moving to Real Madrid.

Given the transfer fee when Hazard joined Real Madrid, his stint there could easily compete for the title of "worst transfer in history."

But none of that diminishes how terrifying Hazard was at his peak!

Calling him the "third-best player in the world" wouldn't be an exaggeration at all...

Li Yufei remembered that Hazard hadn't transferred to Chelsea yet, so Arsenal had a perfect chance to swoop in early.

He didn't know exactly where Hazard was playing now, but as long as it wasn't in the Premier League or the La Liga Giants, it wouldn't be a problem for Arsenal.

As for Varane, Li Yufei's impression of him was the classic "life winner" and "nerd."

If he remembered correctly, Varane had completed a career Grand Slam by the time he was 25 in his past life.

Of course, that Grand Slam didn't include the European Championship.

After all, with a World Cup, the European Championship wasn't as big a deal.

As for the nickname "nerd," it seemed to come from an embarrassing incident during Varane's transfer to Real Madrid.

Apparently, an official from Real Madrid called Varane to discuss the transfer.

But Varane was busy preparing for his university entrance exam, which he considered extremely important.

So he told the Real Madrid official that he needed to focus on studying, turned down their invitation, and hung up.

Li Yufei couldn't quite remember if that Real Madrid official was someone named "Zidane."

If it really was Zidane, then Li Yufei had to give Varane a massive "respect."

That's insane!!!

For a Frenchman to personally receive an invitation from Zidane — the greatest player in French football history, a European football king — and still rationally refuse it.

You have to admit, that shows Varane has the demeanor of a true leader.

No wonder he won everything at such a young age.

A player with that kind of commanding presence is a rare find!

As for Griezmann, his peak was like Hazard's — a strong contender for "third-best in the world."

In the 2018 FIFA World Cup, Griezmann was arguably the biggest reason France won the title.

The key point is that Griezmann and Hazard don't play the same position.

Hazard is a classic winger and explosive attacker — the wing is where he thrives.

Griezmann, on the other hand, is a versatile forward.

He doesn't have Hazard's explosive wing play, but he's solid on both offense and defense, with excellent passing vision and ball control.

During France's 2018 World Cup run, Deschamps positioned Griezmann as the playmaker.

Griezmann executed his role perfectly and became the biggest contributor to France's victory.

During his time at Atletico Madrid, Griezmann mostly played as a second striker, still performing at a "world's third-best" level.

Combine that with his poor performances as a winger at Barcelona, and it's clear that Griezmann isn't suited for the wing — the center is where he belongs.

This complements Hazard perfectly.

With his memory of the future, Li Yufei had to admit the Old Man's eye was sharp!

The two players he picked could fill Arsenal's left wing and central positions.

Sure, Li Yufei could play on the left wing, but that was just a temporary fix.

Since Arsenal didn't have a good left winger, Li Yufei was filling in.

Once a solid left winger showed up, Li Yufei would definitely return to his best position as a striker.

As for Griezmann, whether he played as a second striker behind Li Yufei or as an attacking midfielder, either would work.

After all, unless something unexpected happened, Fabregas would probably be back at Barcelona around this time next year.

Given how fanatical he was about paying out of his own pocket to return to Barcelona, Li Yufei knew he couldn't stop it.

Besides, he didn't want to stop it — if Fabregas didn't leave, how could Arsenal make room for new talent?

With Li Yufei's god's-eye view and Li's Father willing to invest in Arsenal, Arsenal's future was absolutely bright, and there was no need to worry about a lack of talented players leaving the team without successors.

At least until 2030, that wouldn't happen.

The last player the Old Man wanted, Matuidi, was a classic workhorse midfielder.

In simple terms, he did the dirty work and the grunt work on the pitch.

Every team needs a few players like that.

And Matuidi was one of the best of that type!

France's three-man midfield at the 2018 World Cup was Matuidi plus Kante, both doing the dirty work.

Partnered with a genius attacking midfielder, Pogba.

That's how they won the World Cup.

How to put it—if you break it down by position, France's strongest point at the 2018 World Cup was the midfield.

The weakest was goalkeeper Lloris.

France's defense and attack were T1 level among all teams at the 2018 World Cup.

Only the midfield was T0, absolutely head and shoulders above the rest, and that's where France ultimately won it.

If Arsenal could really assemble Griezmann, Matuidi, and Varane—three players from the 2018 World Cup-winning squad covering front, midfield, and back—

then at least for a long time to come, Arsenal wouldn't need to replace those positions.

Add in Belgian superstar Hazard, and Arsenal's lineup would be full of promise for the future!

Thinking this over, Li Yufei said to Wenger, "BOSS, if the transfer fees are in place for these players, can you pull off bringing them to Arsenal?"

After all, football transfers aren't just about money; the players' own willingness matters too.

If they don't want to come to Arsenal, no amount of cash is worth squat.

Unexpectedly, Wenger heard Li Yufei's words, smiled slightly, and said very modestly:

"I can give it a try. Except for Griezmann, all these players are playing in Ligue 1."

"I still have some connections in Ligue 1, so there should be a chance."

"As for Griezmann, he's currently playing for Real Sociedad, but he's French, so I can find a way too."

"As long as your father is willing to invest some funds, I guarantee these players will become Arsenal's future."

Saying this, Wenger seemed to remember something and added:

"Frey, these people will become your helpers in the future. I know you're a kid with big ambitions, wanting to conquer the football world."

"But football is ultimately an 11-man sport. Sometimes, no matter how strong one person is, they need teammates' help."

"If you want to conquer the football world, you first need a batch of reliable helpers."

"Only then can you achieve your goals."

Once Wenger said this, Li Yufei knew he couldn't refuse.
