The deep-pocketed Manchester City felt like they were just playing a game of Football Manager.
"Wang, are you really not going to attend the FIFA awards ceremony?" Arteta asked with concern.
This was currently one of the most widely circulated rumors in the outside world. Wang Shuo hadn't let a single word slip when facing the media, but in the locker room, he had nothing to hide. In fact, he was secretly hoping his teammates or the staff would leak it to the press.
It was an indirect way of applying pressure!
"I've already said it. Unless Blatter publicly retracts his inappropriate remarks and formally apologizes to me and everyone else he offended, I won't go." Wang Shuo wore a relaxed smile, completely unbothered by the whole situation.
"How is that even possible?" Arteta shook his head. "Blatter will never apologize."
