The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 470 It's Proof!

When everyone in the team held a mighty victory parade in downtown London, and the whole city was celebrating for Tottenham Hotspur's comeback against Manchester United to win the Champions League, Ye Qiu and Chen Zhong arrived at White Hart Lane Stadium.

After the two entered the White Hart Lane Stadium, they made an appointment to stay at Ye Qiu's house at night, and then parted ways.

Ye Qiu went directly to the meeting room, because the team will start vacation soon, and many players will go to participate in the national team competition and the European Cup, so many things of the team must be finalized before the players leave the team, such as the player's Contract extensions, team summer signings and transfers, and more.

Mike Dawson never got a chance at Tottenham Hotspur. Ye Qiu doesn't appreciate this tall England central defender. He obviously prefers Thiago Silva or Kompany who can handle it The center back of the ball, so Mike Dawson has submitted a transfer application to the club before.

There are also many teams interested in the native England central defender, including several Premier League teams, such as Fulham.

Tottenham Hotspur also gave the green light to the transfer of the local central defender, and the departure of Mike Dawson also completely declared that Tottenham Hotspur had completely bid farewell to the past, because he was the last one under Ye Qiu to take over. Before taking charge of the team, the rest are all players introduced by Ye Qiu himself.

After selling Mike Dawson, the Tottenham Hotspur team still has three central defenders, Hangeland, Thiago Silva and Kompany, plus Yaya Toure and Mas Celano also performed well as a guest central defender, so Ye Qiu felt more at ease with the defense.

In addition to the central defender, in terms of midfield, Tottenham Hotspur may also consider letting go of a player, because this summer, the team will definitely introduce a ball handler in the middle, so Ye Qiu is considering whether to sell Lucas.

The Brazilian players have made good progress and their strength is quite good. It is not a big problem to play as a substitute, but Tottenham Hotspur's current problem is that the center is too bloated, especially if another midfielder is introduced, it will further improve Detonate competition, in this case, selling a player can reduce the team's salary pressure and can also alleviate this competition.

As for the frontcourt, Ye Qiu felt that the staffing was the best in the team. Franck Ribery, Messi, and Arshavin were on the sidelines. Gareth Bale made rapid progress, and Ashley Young performed well as a substitute. This configuration makes Tottenham Hotspur's frontcourt staff very generous, which is the most reassuring part.

The combination of Van Persie, Cavani and Carroll on the front line is also very reassuring. Van Persie and Cavani are the two strikers that Ye Qiu relies heavily on, and the presence of Carroll can enrich the team's offensive methods. Therefore, the entire striker configuration is also very satisfactory.

In general, Tottenham Hotspur will continue to use the strategy of last season. Except for supplements and adjustments in the midfield, other positions are not going to be moved to ensure the stability of the team, especially the offensive end, and then Further grind the defense.

The development of a team is dynamic, because the strength, status and age of the players are constantly changing, so the overall strength of the team is also constantly changing. When the head coach builds a team, We should also follow this trend instead of trying to challenge it or take risks.

"While we won the Champions League, Arsenal also completed two transfers, one of which was the free transfer of Flamini to AC Milan, and the other was the introduction of French teenager Nasri, and also Take back Mexican striker Carlos Vela, who is on loan."

At the beginning of the meeting, Peter Kenyon introduced the current transfer market and the situation facing Tottenham Hotspur to all those present at this high-level meeting.

"Flamini's departure will have a great impact on Arsenal's midfield. Whether it is Diaby, Denilson or Alexander Song, they will not be able to play the role of Flamini last season for the time being. His Leaving will have a great impact on Arsenal's midfield, especially in defense!" Ye Qiu gave his own judgment.

Flamini performed very well last season, and it was even rumored that he would be included in the best team of the Premier League season, otherwise, AC Milan would not be interested in him, so his departure, coupled with Gilberto With Erva's aging, there will be a vacuum in Arsenal's midfield.

Moreover, it is reported that Wenger may attack several veterans of the team, including Gilberto Silva, Lehmann and other players who will be forced to leave the team. A round of turmoil and restlessness ushered in.

The introduction of Nasri should be able to strengthen Arsenal's frontcourt attack strength, especially in terms of technology and ball control, but how to solve Arsenal's midfield defense is a problem, especially considering that Gallas Another year older, and Senderos is overwhelmed, Arsenal's problems are still a lot.

"Manchester United's young central defender, Gerard Pique, was sent back to Barcelona, ​​and your previous information was correct!" Peter Kenyon looked at Ye Qiu, "Barcelona is indeed talking to Messi and Fabre in private. Gass has been in contact with them, and they obviously hope to recall this group of talents that were lost in the past."

"Can they pay?" Ye Qiu asked with a smile.

According to the performance of Messi and Cesc Fabregas last season, the transfer fee of the two players combined, even if the transfer fee is less than 8000 million, it must be at least [-] to [-] million, right?Does Barcelona have that much money?Not to mention, Barcelona wants to buy, is Tottenham willing to sell?

With the current situation of Tottenham Hotspur, whoever sells Messi and Cesc Fabregas is a fool!
Therefore, in theory, their worth is such a little, but in reality, unless it is a sky-high price or pressure from the players, otherwise, it is impossible to complete such a transfer.

After hearing Ye Qiu's rhetorical question, Peter Kenyon chuckled, "They don't lack funds, but they still have a little less money to buy Messi and Cesc Fabregas!"

Tottenham Hotspur just won the Champions League, and it is just as popular. Coupled with the performance of the past two seasons, if you want to introduce these two players, any one of them will be worth more than 5000 million, especially Messi and Maradona How much is the title of Second Emperor worth?In addition to scoring twice in the Champions League final, how much is it worth?

"The current situation in Barcelona is not optimistic. Chairman Laporta has been impeached. The opposition are very dissatisfied with Laporta's status quo in the past year and have called for an early referendum on the election of the chairman. It is not the new coach Guardiola, but the chairman Laporta."

Ye Qiu was not surprised by this, because it was a feature of Barcelona and Real Madrid, two membership clubs.

When the chairman encountered a crisis of trust, he tried every means to strengthen his appeal by introducing stars, so as to stabilize his position. At the beginning, Florentino, Calderon, or Barcelona Laporta is like that.

"Barcelona's ambitions are not small. Messi, Cesc Fabregas, Alves, Mascherano, they have a big appetite, and they almost want to poach half of our lineup." Peter Kenyon sneered .

As long as it is a little normal, no sensible person will believe Laporta's remarks, Messi and Fabregas needless to say, Alves is worth at least 4000 million euros, Mascherano Nuo is the captain of Tottenham Hotspur. Just for this, the Argentine's worth will not be lower than Alves.

If you want to introduce four players at the same time, hehe, if you can introduce one, you will have to burn the incense!
"By the way, Peter!" Ye Qiu suddenly thought of something, "I heard that Barcelona is contacting Chelsea's Deco?"

"Yes!" Peter Kenyon nodded, "It is indeed to introduce Deco."

"Then their goal must not be Cesc Fabregas. It can only be said that the feelings of that fool were squandered by them!"

When Ye Qiu scolded fools, his tone was not sarcasm, but full of pity. He knew very well the connection between Barcelona, ​​Cesc Fabregas and Messi, which no one could stop because they used to be together. After living for so many years, there are inextricably linked relationships.

And Barcelona seems to be using this relationship to make a fuss, at least to use it to create some public opinion.

The introduction of Pique can only be regarded as a civilian signing. If you want to keep your position, Barcelona must make heavy signings. The first consideration must be a superstar.

"I also heard that Guardiola doesn't like Eto'o. After sending away Ronaldinho, the African cheetah has become the next target of disaster, but Barcelona wants to introduce a high center forward. It's Zlatan Ibrahimovic and our Van Persie."

Ye Qiu can understand that replacing Ibrahimovic with Eto'o was passed on in his previous life since Guardiola came to power, but it is said that the operation did not go well in the first season, resulting in the operation In the end, it ran aground, and even Guardiola and Barcelona themselves did not expect that they would get the Triple Crown that year.

By the summer of 09, the exchange and transfer had entered a substantive stage, coupled with Guardiola's persistence, it was finally completed, but Barcelona also completed the most famous player exchange with the most serious losses in club history.

"If Barcelona really calls to buy Van Persie, you tell them to get Iniesta to pay for it!" Ye Qiu explained to Peter Kenyon with a smile.

Tottenham Hotspur's midfielder needs a ball-handler. In Ye Qiu's opinion, the best player in today's football who can make a deep push after receiving the ball in the midfield is Iniesta. The combination of man and ball is rare in the world, even in the face of dense defense, he can perform at a very solid level.

Kaka is also an expert at advancing in depth, but Kaka's characteristics make him effective only in counterattacks, but Tottenham Hotspur is now defending in a high position. If they want to cooperate with Kaka, they must move the defense forward Retreat, in this way, the team's entire offensive system will be completely changed.

To put it simply, Messi's threat will be greatly reduced, and Ribery's playing style will also change. Even Ye Qiu feels that if he really plays like this, Gareth Bale may perform even more outstandingly, because Wales The sprint speed of a person is amazing, and the effect will be even greater in counterattack tactics.

Sometimes the head coach's preference is one thing, but whether the player fits the team's overall tactics is another.

The introduction of Kaka can indeed create momentum, but let alone whether Kaka agrees to transfer to Tottenham Hotspur, even if he transfers, how much is he worth?What is the salary?The point is that after the introduction of Kaka, the team's salary structure was broken. At that time, Ribery, Messi and other core players will also ask for salary increases, so what should we do?
It can be said that the introduction of superstars seems to overturn the dominoes, and the chain reaction triggered is worthy of vigilance.

Looking around the world, after Chelsea introduced superstars, Abramovich is now regretful enough to beat his chest and vomit three liters of blood. Besides Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​who else would take the risk to introduce popular superstars?

No!

It's not that other teams are fools and don't understand the value of superstars, but that any team can't afford to introduce superstars as long as they want to operate healthy.

Ye Qiu even felt this way in his previous life. As the chairman of Real Madrid, Florentino didn't like Cristiano Ronaldo, whom his predecessor Calderon made great efforts to introduce. He must have thought about selling Cristiano Ronaldo. , but the problem is, no one took over!
Never believe those media rumors, but you should pay attention to see if anyone made a move?

Even Manchester City, which is as rich as a country, deliberately avoids top superstars in terms of signings, but introduces a group of powerful stars with around 2000 million to 4000 million euros, because they know the painful price to be paid for the introduction of superstars. Chelsea is A lesson for all.

And when no one is willing to take over, Real Madrid can only adopt a team formation with Cristiano Ronaldo as the core. There is no choice, and this is the price of introducing superstars!
Of course, this is not to say that Cristiano Ronaldo is not strong enough. On the contrary, he is definitely one of the best current superstars in Ye Qiu's previous life, so Florentino will compromise with him.

It's just that sometimes you have to calculate, is the pay and the gain proportional?

Perhaps it should be said that the introduction of superstars has never been possible to consider sacrifices and gains. It is a game for local tyrants, and we, a poor team like Tottenham Hotspur, simply cannot afford it.

On this point, Ye Qiu, the chairman of the club, and the club's chief executive, Peter Kenyon, were in the same position. They both insisted on the principle of not bringing in superstars.

"In addition to Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid, AC Milan, Inter Milan and many other teams are eyeing our players, including Ribery, Alves, Vargas, Messi and Fabregas, etc. people."

As soon as Peter Kenyon finished speaking, Ye Qiu sneered, "These local tyrants are here to shear sheep!"

The current European giants are eager to carve up Tottenham Hotspur directly. After all, this team's lineup is too dazzling. It's hard not to appreciate, and many of them are even rare types that are in short supply in European football, such as Cesc Fabregas and Mascherano.

Feng Shui took turns. In the past, offensive players in the frontcourt were popular, but now in the past two years, there has been a shortage of central defenders, and the value of defenders has also risen accordingly. With the rise of the ball control genre, the midfield playmaker has also received great attention. In addition, there is also the waist problem that plagues almost all European giants, so the midfielder is also very important.

No matter which position it is, you can find high-quality goods in the Tottenham Hotspur team. It is conceivable that this momentum of carve-up Tottenham Hotspur will continue.

"This summer, our top priority is not signings, nor transfers, nor anything else, but to retain this group of players in the team. We are not Arsenal, and we don't need to sell people to live. We There are longer-term goals, so ensuring the combat effectiveness of the team is the major premise of all operations of the club."

After hearing this, Peter Kenyon and all the executives present nodded frequently.

"According to the preliminary estimate of the finance department, in the next year, even if we pay 2000 million euros for the construction of the new stadium, we can still continue to make money by ensuring that several important players of the team renew their contracts and raise their salaries. Under the premise of affecting the operation of the team, about [-] million euros will be set aside as a transfer fee."

For Tottenham Hotspur, this is already very, very difficult. Fortunately, the payment of [-] million euros will not be until September. If it is in July, it will definitely affect the team's transfer. Club policy, because at that time, neither Adidas nor Vodafone and other sponsors had paid in place.

It is necessary to clarify one point here. Ye Qiu is rich, but he never took the initiative to say that he would inject capital into the team, because Tottenham Hotspur's current finances are very healthy and they have no foreign debts. However, if Ye Qiu injects capital, That is debt.

Moreover, Ye Qiu doesn't want Tottenham Hotspur to rely on his own capital injection all the time, but hopes that the team can be responsible for its own profits and losses, and operate in a healthier way. Otherwise, professional football is a bottomless pit. Even the rich net worth can't satisfy its jaw-dropping appetite.

Therefore, Ye Qiu had a tacit understanding with Peter Kenyon. Unless there is a critical moment of necessity, for example, when the fund for the new stadium is coming, but the team does not have enough money, and there is no way to delay it, Ye Qiu will take it out. Money comes, but at other times, the team will be on its own.

On this point, Ye Qiu and Peter Kenyon are also in the same position.

Ye Qiu nodded, "The next two or three years will be a difficult time. I hope everyone can work together to tide over the difficulties together. We won the Champions League this season. In the future, we will continue to fight for the Champions League, the Premier League, and even It is to strive for a higher honor, today's achievements are just the beginning!"

"I have enough confidence that in the next few years, I will work hand in hand with everyone to build Tottenham Hotspur into a top European team. A top club will be born through your efforts!"

When talking about this, Ye Qiu said with a confident smile: "The Champions League last night is a proof!"
