The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 472 Dual Core
With the development of tourism in the Canary Islands in recent years, these small islands far away from the European continent and geographically closer to Africa have become vacation paradises for countless Europeans, especially in winter every year. Going to the Canary Islands to escape the cold, tourism income has become an important source of income for these small islands.

Las Palmas is the capital of the Canary Islands and the most populous city in the Canary Islands.

But relatively speaking, Tenerife will undoubtedly be more well-known, because the professional team of West Second Division Tenerife here has created a great feat that has left countless people in the dust.

That is, they once defeated Real Madrid in the last round of two consecutive La Liga seasons. At that time, the head coach of the team was Valdano, the general manager of Real Madrid, and the main core of the team is still missed by countless fans. The Redondo who talked about it, that is, those two games, made Tenerife famous, because the two rounds of the league gave the Barcelona Dream Team led by Cruyff at the time two consecutive La Liga championship trophies.

At that time, the chairman of Real Madrid, Mendoza, was furious, holding the attitude that if I can't beat you, I will poach you, and directly poached Valdano and Redondo, and then created Real Madrid and returned Barcelona a 5:0, and succeeded Championship feat.

In Europe, countless places have become famous because of a team's football, attracting countless fans.

Compared with Tenerife, Las Palmas is not very famous, but the largest island in the Canary Islands is not a joke, especially in the south of the island, there is a place called Alguineguin, This is a small fishing village located at the southern tip of the Big Island, but there have been two top midfielders in La Liga in a row.

One is David Silva, who is currently playing for Valencia, and the other is Juan Belleron, who is playing for Deportivo and has the title of Zidane in Spain.

Perhaps many fans may not know this La Liga god. He was the main core of the invincible Super Deportivo at the beginning of the century. Many fans will never forget him, because he has a very elegant style of play and a weak body, but he can have a very outstanding performance on the court.

His overall view, game awareness, ability to read the game, and even his ability with the ball are not lost to Zidane at all, but if he loses to Zidane, it is his body. There is still a big gap between the two in physical fitness and strength confrontation, which also greatly limits Belleron's achievements.

Even in Ye Qiu's previous life, when Barcelona was at its peak, many people called Xavi a midfield master, but in the Spanish professional circles, Xavi was defined as a constructor, while Valeron was called a builder. Meng Shi, from this point, it is not difficult to see the Spaniard's regret and affirmation for this midfield genius who unfortunately failed to reach the height.

David Silva did not reach the height of Vereron, but he has an advantage that Vereron does not have, that is, he has reached a level in terms of modern tactical system, ability with the ball and ability without the ball. It's a very ingenious balance, and Belleron's ability to adapt to modern tactics is obviously not strong, and his style is more quaint.

Therefore, judging from the current trend of professional football, David Silva is more in line with modern football, while Belleron belongs to the football of the previous generation. In fact, his age is indeed not young.

Ye Qiu arrived in Las Palmas, Canary Islands with his wife, two children, and Eliza Moon.

He took two steps. One was to let Peter Kenyon contact Valencia directly, and the other was to contact David Silva himself, expressing his desire to meet him, and also making an appointment. Well, the place to meet is in Las Palmas, in the hotel where they are staying.

As David Silva's father and manager, Fernando Ximenez welcomed Ye Qiu's arrival, and said that he would personally take his son to the airport to pick him up, and planned to have an in-depth conversation with Ye Qiu.

Just kidding, Ye Qiu is not only a well-known figure in the world, but also the chairman and head coach of Tottenham Hotspur. The latter is the hottest team before the European Cup this summer. A big reversal, if such a team is really interested in David Silva, how could they refuse?

"Valencia is getting more and more depressed now!" Fernando Ximenez said with regret at the Gran Canaria Airport.

Although the tourism industry in the Canary Islands is very developed, there is only one airport with two runways, and that is Gran Canaria Airport. It is located in a place called Carizal in the south of Las Palmas, close to the east of the island. shore.

Hearing his father's words, David Silva was somewhat moved. After all, he had been in Valencia for eight years. He left the Canary Islands when he was 14 years old. At that time, his father took him to the Royal Palace. Madrid's training camp to participate in the selection.

Like most children in the Canary Islands, David Silva is also a loyal fan of Real Madrid. Real Madrid is the most popular giants team on these islands, but David Silva's Real Madrid But the dream quickly broke and he was rejected by Real Madrid because his body was too thin.

Later, he moved to Valencia, where he stayed for eight years. He also grew up rapidly, and was selected for the Spanish national team, becoming an important member of the national team, but Valencia has lost its glory at the beginning of the century. up.

As an important member of the Valencia team, David Silva is of course aware of the team's current internal situation. Almost everyone is thinking of leaving the team, because they have completely lost hope in the team, but they don't People are willing to leave if they fall out with the team, so everyone adopts a low-key and wait-and-see approach.

Currently the two most popular players in the team are David Villa and David Silva, both of whom are the main force of the national team.

In the past year, Valencia has successively experienced four head coaches: Flores, Koeman, Osk and Boro, and now they have re-appointed Almeria's head coach Emery this season as the team's head coach for next season. Coach, I hope to restore the momentum of the Bat Corps.

But this season, ranking tenth in La Liga, has completely moved the slightly ambitious players in the team, especially for players like David Villa and David Silva who have the ability to leave the team. The difference is just who is willing to convince the Valencia management for them.

"Tottenham Hotspur is a strong team in the Premier League. It is also a new champion of the Champions League and a strong contender for the Premier League title. The head coach Ye Qiu is also a famous coach in the world and the chairman of the team. He is willing to He has shown his sincerity by coming to the Canary Islands himself."

Father Fernando Ximenez looked at his son. He thought that David Silva was good at everything and had a good temper, but he didn't like to talk, or he was not good at talking, and sometimes he seemed rather dull.

This is also the reason why his father frequently stood up for him. He couldn't just stand by and watch that other people gained benefits for him while his son suffered in vain, so he became his son's manager.

"I heard Cesc Fabregas talk about Tottenham Hotspur!" David Silva listened to his father nagging for a long time before opening his mouth once. He and Fabregas are teammates in the national team. The relationship is not bad, occasionally talking about Tottenham Hotspur and Ye Qiu.

"Really?" Fernando Ximenez was a little happy to hear that, "What did he say?"

David Silva obviously sensed the expectation in his father's eyes, and smiled slightly, even a little shy at first glance, "He said that Ye Qiu is a top coach, Tottenham Hotspur are actually very strong, the team There are many very good players, and the pressure of competition is high, but it is a place that can improve and stimulate the strength and potential of players."

"That's good!" Fernando Ximenez felt relieved after hearing this.

"David, let go of your thoughts about Real Madrid for now. You are only 22 years old. For you, the most important thing is to hone your skills and improve your strength. Tottenham Hotspur will be a very good team. It’s a good platform, and there are the best coaches there, as long as you can show your strength, are you afraid that you won’t have the chance to return to Real Madrid?”

Listening to his father's earnest persuasion, David Silva nodded, "I understand, Dad!"

"I know you don't know how to talk. Anyway, when I see Ye Qiu, I'll tell him. I'll tell you good and bad things. Don't worry, I won't cooperate with them in putting pressure on Valencia, and I won't offend you. Valencia, I'll just tell them that we don't rule out joining Tottenham, but they have to deal with Valencia themselves."

David Silva knew that his father understood his thoughts very well. After hearing this, he nodded heavily and showed a smile. He was a little worried that his father would cooperate with Ye Qiu to put pressure on Valencia.

It is not David Silva's style to offend the club for the transfer.

Tottenham Hotspur was the first team to directly contact David Silva and Valencia. Although before them, Barcelona had reported interest in David Silva, but this The La Liga giants have never made a move, and joining Barcelona is tantamount to cutting off the hope of joining Real Madrid, so David Silva has always been a little resistant to Barcelona.

There is another level of consideration. Barcelona currently has a strong midfield team. Xavi and Iniesta occupy two important positions in the midfield. There are Eto'o and Henry in front. Although Ronaldinho is gone, However, the introduction of Hleb, together with several young stars such as Pedro and Dos Santos from the local youth training, made the internal competition of the team very fierce.

Relatively speaking, Tottenham Hotspur's sincerity was higher, and Ye Qiu's presence in person proved Tottenham Hotspur's sincerity.

When Ye Qiu arrived in the Canary Islands, David Silva and his son met him at the airport in person.

After the group returned to the hotel, Eliza Muen accompanied Huang Chu and took the two children to play around, while Ye Qiu started a conversation with David Silva and his son. the most important purpose.

When Ye Qiu faced David Silva, he explained his views on him, his analysis of technical characteristics, and his future position in the Tottenham Hotspur team. He hoped that David Silva could continue to play In the middle of the midfield, but relatively speaking, the position is a bit late. He uses the back to participate in the offense, giving full play to his advantages in series and dribbling, and also forms a dual core with Cesc Fabregas.

David? Silva plus Cesc Fabregas, at first glance, does it feel a bit like Iniesta plus Harvey?
But Cesc Fabregas is not Harvey. Fabregas is more advanced than Harvey, and he is more like a midfielder, especially since he was a striker before and won the top scorer in the World Youth Championship. His scoring ability is already excellent. Very strong, and in Tottenham Hotspur's most recent season, he also played a very high scoring efficiency.

Harvey is more like a central midfielder. His real threat is not close to the penalty area or the front of the big penalty area, but the penultimate pass. In addition, his scoring ability and offensive ability are not strong. It is doomed that his position must be behind Fabregas.

Because of this, Ye Qiu still needs to continue to investigate. Once David Silva and Cesc Fabregas are deployed in the midfield, as an important defensive role in the midfield, Mascherano must also have responsibilities Due to the changes, his scope of activities should be appropriately expanded.

The most reasonable configuration in the past was Beckham, Fabregas and Mascherano. Among them, Beckham has a large range of activities, so Mascherano's coverage will be relatively small, but now David ?Although Silva will also participate in defense, his range of activities is definitely not as large as that of Beckham, so the coverage area of ​​​​the midfielder must be relatively expanded.

But from an overall point of view, if the midfield configuration of David Silva, Cesc Fabregas and Mascherano is really combined, Tottenham Hotspur's midfield control ability and ball control ability, The offensive ability will be greatly improved, and the real midfield iron triangle will be formed.

With this set of midfield, plus the offensive configuration of Van Persie, Ribery and Messi in the frontcourt, Tottenham Hotspur's offensive ability in the frontcourt will have more obvious progress and improvement than last season.

By the way, Franck Ribery's injury is nothing serious and will not affect his European Cup. When Ye Qiu called Domenech about this matter, the French head coach also expressed that he would be careful, but I also hope that Ye Qiu can understand his work, and Ye Qiu also understands this.

Every head coach has his own pressure. Domenech usually does not have big competitions. The key depends on how he performs in the European Cup and the World Cup. Therefore, it is understandable that he attaches great importance to the European Cup.

When Ye Qiu stayed in the Canary Islands, kept in touch with David Silva while on vacation, and established a good personal friendship, Peter Kenyon was also keeping in touch and negotiating with Valencia.

When Valencia responded to Tottenham Hotspur's asking price, it made no secret that the club would consider selling players to fill the financial difficulties, but they also said that they want to take the opportunity to get David Silva at a low price. It is impossible, and the Bat Corps intends to pull Barcelona to put pressure on Tottenham Hotspur.

This is a bit suspected of starting the price, but it is also the normal operation method of selling people. However, what Barcelona want most at present is Chelsea's midfielder Deco and the transfer of Ronaldinho. David Silva offered a price of 2000 million euros, but it had to be paid in installments, of which 500 million euros belonged to future floating expenses.

For Barcelona's offer, Valencia obviously doesn't approve of it very much, because it means that the player only sold 500 million euros. On the contrary, Tottenham Hotspur's sincerity is higher, 2000 million euros, cash, not Discount, but there are no follow-up terms, it is directly the buyout price.

Valencia prefers to keep David Silva at a higher price, but Tottenham Hotspur refused to increase the price, so the two sides have fallen into a stalemate, testing each other's patience.

At this time, Tottenham Hotspur deliberately used the media to spread the news that the team wanted to get Werder Bremen's Brazilian midfielder Diego, and revealed through German newspapers that Tottenham Hotspur had already expressed interest in Werder Bremen. Werder Bremen have put forward an offer of 2000 million euros, and Werder Bremen are also seriously considering Tottenham Hotspur's offer.

This is a pressure tactic used by buyers. After all, sellers know how to apply pressure, and buyers will not be too passive.

The two sides of the transaction must be that the buyer wants to be cheaper, and the seller wants to be as high as possible, and each speaks according to its own means.

While negotiating with Valencia, Tottenham Hotspur also quietly settled the transfer of Mike Dawson. The latter went directly to Fulham, and the transfer fee also reached 250 million euros. It can also be regarded as an affirmation of Mike Dawson's strength. The latter has played for the team many times in the past two seasons, and his performance is not bad.

Of course, a very important point is that Fulham desperately needs a central defender, and Mike Dawson is also a well-known local central defender, so the price is not too high.

While Tottenham Hotspur sold Mike Dawson and was rumored to introduce David Silva, both Manchester United and Chelsea have adopted a policy of only getting in and out this season, tightening their money, but Manchester United's Top star Cristiano Ronaldo has become a sweet potato in the transfer market.

Cristiano Ronaldo, and Tottenham's Ribery, these two players are undoubtedly the two hottest stars in the transfer market this summer, and there are currently no teams eyeing these two players The most popular ones are Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​but everyone is waiting for their performance in the European Cup.

Arsenal made several deals one after another. They brought in Nasri from Marseille and Sylvester from Manchester United. At the same time, they sold Hleb to Barcelona. Gilberto Silva and Lehmann were all sold. Wenger sold, plus Flamini went to AC Milan, and Senderos was also exposed to be rented out. It seems that Arsenal are planning to hurt their muscles and bones this summer.

Relatively speaking, there is not much movement in Liverpool. Benitez is now looking at all capable players, but there are not many well-known players. The biggest player among them is David Silva, but he is unwilling to go to Liverpool. So, nothing!

But Liverpool is obviously planning to reorganize the team lineup. Benitez's purge list even includes Crouch, Riise, Finnan, Kewell, Voronin and other players.

Ye Qiu wasn't surprised by this situation. After all, Liverpool couldn't compete in the Champions League in the new season, so they had to reduce the team's expenses. Cleaning up the lineup was a normal thing.

But at the end of May, with the Spanish national team training camp, David Silva left the Canary Islands, and Ye Qiu also left the island with his family and Eliza, heading for Silicon Valley, USA. But at this moment, there was a breaking news that was enough to detonate European football.
