The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 493 Money is not a problem!
England's Drogba! ! !
After Tottenham Hotspur eliminated Liverpool in the League Cup, for Carroll, who scored twice and had an assist, the English media gave overwhelming praise, thinking that the soon-to-be 20-year-old native of England The center is another top center in English football after Alan Shearer.

Liverpool coach Benitez, who was eliminated by Tottenham Hotspur, said, "Andy Carroll has the potential to become a top center. I was not his fan before, but after this night, I've completely changed my mind about him and I believe he's a genius, top talent!"

"I think what Andy Carroll needs most now is to be able to play more games as soon as possible. We all know that he has the talent and potential not to lose to Rooney, and he is taller than Rooney and has more control over the high ball. He is a very threatening center forward in the penalty area, and Rooney has already played the main force in Everton and Manchester United at his age!"

Andy Carroll is 19 years old, and will be 09 years old in January 1, but at present, because of Tottenham Hotspur's frontcourt offensive players are obviously a bit bloated, coupled with the presence of Van Persie and Cavani , making Andy? Carroll has been unable to mark the main position, more or in the cup and in the league off the bench.

But in the two knockout rounds of the League Cup, Carroll showed strong penalty area dominance and scoring ability in the face of Premier League teams such as Newcastle and Liverpool. He was elected the best player in two consecutive games and staged Scored twice.

With strong high ball control, tall and strong body, simple and practical foot skills, tall but not bulky, and good ability to handle the ball, these have become Carroll's labels, but more importantly, he is Ye Qiu. on the player.

I have to admit that in the past ten years, almost every player that Ye Qiu had his eyes on has finally become a talent, from Robben, Abidal, Lucio and others in Ajax to the recent Ramsey, Eden Hazard, Gareth Bell and others, as well as Ziglinski who joined this season.

The Ukrainian central defender did not have the slightest reputation before. Although he has the title of Zickenbauer in Ukraine, he is almost unknown in European football, but he performed very well in Tottenham Hotspur. After making zero mistakes in his debut , His subsequent performances were satisfactory, especially his excellent ability to play the ball in the backcourt, which made him famous and his net worth soared.

According to the current media valuation, Ziglinski's worth should at least double, that is, 500 million euros, but to persuade Tottenham Hotspur to let him go, some people joked that it had to be on this basis Doubling it again, and fast, because Ziglinski's value can skyrocket anytime, anywhere.

Produced by Ye Qiu!

This has become a label in the football world. Many young players hope that they can be seen by Ye Qiu. They play for Tottenham Hotspur. There are also many players whose value has skyrocketed because of the scandal with Ye Qiu. Bremen's Brazilian midfielder Diego, it was previously reported that Tottenham Hotspur wanted to introduce him. This Brazilian player was even as high as 4000 million euros at one point, but later shrunk to 3000 million as potential buyers gradually retreated. around ten thousand euros.

Andy Carroll is called by the media as a powerful center who combines the advantages of Alan Shearer, Drogba and Ruud van Nistelrooy. He is also a local player in England and produced by Ye Qiu. His value has skyrocketed. It's a natural thing.

But regarding the hype from the outside media, Ye Qiu repeatedly emphasized that Andy Carroll is still young, what he needs is a low profile, not excessive hype from the media, and whether the English media's proposal will be played in the next game Give Andy Carroll more chances, Ye Qiu said that it will depend on the opponent.

However, Pierce, head coach of the England U19 youth team, who promoted Carroll from U21 to U21, said in an interview with the media that Carroll's talent and strength are absolutely beyond doubt, and he will be England's most dominant superstar in the next ten years. Center forward, his partnership with Wayne Rooney will make England's strikers invincible.

"But what he needs to do now is to get more game training, not just appearing in some dispensable cup games. Only the top league confrontation can help him improve his strength!"

As Carroll's former club, Magpies Newcastle would be happy to recall Andy Carroll. They sent Andy Carroll to Tottenham Hotspur through player exchange, but now they hope to be able to At a price of 500 million euros, the famous England star of hope was recalled during the winter break.

For the transfer application from Newcastle, Tottenham Hotspur has only one official answer, no talk!

But Andy Carroll also said in an interview with the media that he is willing to play in Tottenham Hotspur, because it is a very pleasant thing to play with Ribery, Messi and others, "But if there is no place for me in Tottenham Hotspur, I hope to leave and play for a team that recognizes me!"

This was also quickly interpreted by the outside world as Carroll's remarks to put pressure on the Tottenham Hotspur management, because although he has played nine times in all competitions so far this season, except for two in the League Cup Except for the first start, all the others were substitutes, and many of them played in garbage time.

But Tottenham Hotspur responded quickly, and Carroll himself stood up to clarify, saying that his remarks were misled by the media, and he had no intention of leaving Tottenham Hotspur.

But after the League Cup is over, some people are happy and some are worried.

Tottenham Hotspur's trouble is that the team's player lineup is a bit bloated, but some people's trouble is that there are too many transfer fees in their hands.

Mark Hughes once saw some news about the United States from the newspapers. He noticed some news in order to understand Ye Qiu. He heard that Google had been around for a long time because it held a large amount of cash in its hands. , and were pressured by the board of directors, requiring them to spend the cash as soon as possible.

At that time, he was still laughing, saying how could there be such nonsense in this world?There is so much money to spend?

But when he really encountered this kind of situation, he really realized that life without money is really hard, and every penny is eager to spend in half, but life with money may not necessarily lead to happiness, Especially when you have a lot of money in your hands, but you don't know how to spend it, you will feel that this is simply a troublesome thing to worry about.

After the team returned to Manchester from Brighton, Mark Hughes was invited by the club chairman Al Mubarak to the office at the City Stadium, which made Mark Hughes feel a little flustered, because Manchester City had just been beaten by Eliminated by Brighton in the British Championship, the team performed poorly.

If it's just like this, it's easy to handle, but the terrible thing is that after twelve rounds of the Premier League, Manchester City's current league ranking has fallen to No. 15, which is completely different from Manchester City's investment of over [-] million euros at the beginning of the season. It is not directly proportional, and the outside world has heard more than once that Mark Hughes will be dismissed from get out of class.

"Called me all of a sudden, don't tell me..." Mark? Rest was a little nervous.

In fact, there are still many problems in Manchester City's current situation, but no one can say that Manchester City's players are not strong enough, because there are Robinho and Jo in the frontcourt, Modric, Wright Phillips, Elano in the midfield, With stars such as Dunn, Zabaleta and Hangeland in the backcourt, Manchester City's strength must not be said to be weak.

At the very least, it is completely inconsistent with the current Premier League ranking close to the relegation zone.

Everyone in the outside world is very clear that one of the most important reasons why the team is like this is the head coach Mark Hughes.

But not long ago, after Manchester City lost to Tottenham Hotspur, Tottenham Hotspur coach Ye Qiu gave Mark Hughes support after the game. The Chinese said that he believed that Mark Hughes had the ability Lead Manchester City out of the current predicament.

And Mark Hughes also said in an interview with the media that the difficulties Manchester City is currently encountering are only temporary. Rising will not be a problem, because Ye Qiu's situation in the first year of reorganizing Tottenham Hotspur was even worse than he is now.

Knock Knock~

"Come in!" The voice of Chairman Al Mubarak came from inside.

Mark Hughes opened the door and walked in, and found that not only Chairman Mubarak, but also the club's CEO Gary Cook was there. The two seemed to be discussing something important, and seeing Mark Hughes After that, the atmosphere in the office was obviously a little bit wrong.

"Hello, Mr. Coach, please sit down!" Mubarak stood up from behind the desk with a smile. His smile did not look stiff, but a little false.

Gary Cook also followed Mubarak to the reception area, and the three sat down in a zigzag shape.

"OK!" Mubarak clapped his palms, then folded his hands and rubbed them together, "Mr. Coach, to tell you the truth, Alfasim is very dissatisfied with the current situation of the team. It is clear that the team's investment this season should not have achieved the current results at all."

Mark Hughes jumped in his heart, knowing that he must face this level, "Yes, Mr. Chairman, but..."

Mubarak held out his hand and stopped Mark Hughes from continuing, "Please don't doubt our trust in you. You are a very prestigious and influential Premier League head coach. You have achieved excellent results, and you are in the English football has a very wide network of people and relationships, and we have always believed in you to help the team out of the woods."

After hearing this, Mark Hughes immediately let go of a big stone in his heart. He nodded immediately and said, "I am very grateful to you and Mr. Alphasim for your trust. Please also believe that the team will be able to get out of the predicament."

Mubarak clapped his palms again and asked with a smile, "I don't know what you think, Mark?"

"At present, the biggest problem for the team is one front and one back. We need a center forward. Robinho and Ruo are both very capable attackers, but they are not suitable for center forwards. We need a player to serve as a center forward. They attack the opponent's defense line and release their attack power to the maximum."

"In the backcourt, we need a stable goalkeeper. I don't think there is a problem with our defense line, but our goalkeeper problem is not small. We need to introduce a high-level goalkeeper."

Mark Hughes thought about it for a while, and then mentioned: "If possible, I also suggest introducing a defensive midfielder, but this is more difficult, because the current defensive midfielder is in short supply."

After hearing this, Mubarak nodded again and again, "Mr. Alfasim has read your suggestions in the previous proposals, but he personally has a different view on the goal of signings. For example, strikers, you Want Santa Cruz from Blackburn, but he wants Villa from Valencia!"

"As for the rest of the list, we should give priority to big-name players, such as Kaka, Messi, Ribery or local charismatic superstars like Gerrard and Terry."

After a pause, Mubarak smiled, "You know, the transfer fee is not a problem for us, you know exactly what we want!"

After the Abu Dhabi consortium took over Manchester City, all they have to do is to completely launch the signboard of their Abu Dhabi consortium and the forces behind this consortium. They want to make Manchester City their business card and make them famous.

If only Santa Cruz, Parker, Bridge and other players are introduced, this goal will not be achieved at all. To achieve this goal, they should introduce the most popular superstars.

After hearing this, Mark Hughes shook his head in embarrassment, "Mr. Mubarak, it is impossible for them to transfer to Manchester City. No matter how much money we spend, we will not be able to dig these superstars, because their goals have already Not just money, because if they want to make money, they can get more money by changing the team, but what they want most now is to leave their own mark in football history, a name! "

Regarding this point, Mark Hughes made it clear when he took over Manchester City at the beginning of the season, but Robinho was dug in, Modric and Hangeland were dug in, and Mubarak and Alpha Sim didn't believe what Mark Hughes said. They began to think, is it because Mark Hughes was worried that he couldn't suppress the superstar?
At least, now Mark Hughes can't restrain Robinho.

"But I've heard that Liverpool are struggling with funding for a new stadium and Tottenham are struggling with funding for a new stadium and a skyscraper. Isn't this an opportunity?"

"We hope to get a player similar to Robinho in the winter transfer market, who can arouse widespread repercussions in the transfer market, no matter how much money is spent on it." Mubarak stared at Mark? Hughes, "You see what I mean?"

The biggest difference between Alfasim and Mubarak and Abramovich is that they are very aware of their laymen, so they do not participate in team building or player selection, but adopt a company-like system, Leave professional matters to professional people.

The decision to transfer is still in the hands of Mark Hughes, and they are giving general direction guidance, telling Mark Hughes his own ideas and requirements, and letting him achieve and satisfy his own ideas and requirements.

"I believe that with the joining of high-level players, the strength of the team will be greatly improved, and the results will also be improved. What do you think?" Mubarak asked with a smile.

Mark Hughes nodded, "The current situation of the team is the same as when Ye Qiuchu was in charge of Tottenham Hotspur. It took him more than half a year to bring Tottenham Hotspur on the right track. I climbed all the way and finally reached the top four in the league, and I am very confident about this!"

"Good!" Mubarak praised with a smile.

After Mark Hughes left, Mubarak's smile faded away and was replaced by dissatisfied eyes. Obviously, all of them were very dissatisfied with the current status of the team.

Mark Hughes always likes to compare his six months in Manchester City with Ye Qiu's first year in charge of Tottenham Hotspur, but in that year Ye Qiu had already played the rudiment of offensive football, and already had the ability to play offensive football However, the current Manchester City does not give people this feeling at all, but looks very disorganized.

"Do you really believe him?" Gary Cook shook his head with a sneer. "He just doesn't have enough brains at all when he was playing football. He can't meet our requirements at all!"

Mubarak also knew this very well, and sighed: "But he is the only head coach we can trust at present, if there is a change of coach midway and the team is relegated accidentally, it will be a disaster! "

If so much investment is downgraded, then not only will Mark Hughes go, but Mubarak and Gary Cook, the CEO, will also have to go.

Gary Cook nodded to express his understanding. He also agreed to keep Mark Hughes. Although he was not familiar with football at all, he knew very well that what Manchester City needs most now is stability, not continued conflicts.

"Believe me, Mubarak, we need a super transfer, just like how Nike promoted Jordan back then, we need to find our own Jordan!" Before joining Manchester City, Gary Cook held an important position in the Nike headquarters in the United States , responsible for Jordan brand promotion, was later dug to Manchester City by Thaksin.

"Do you have a solution?" Mubarak looked at Cook and asked with a smile.

Gary Cook chuckled, "In the modern professional football market, as long as you are willing to spend money, there are no players you can't buy. Especially in recent years, the US subprime mortgage crisis has linked to the European debt crisis, and European football's giants The team generally has financial problems, as long as we are willing to pay the transfer fee, I believe there will be no players that cannot be obtained!"

Mubarak laughed after hearing this, "Don't worry, you can do it freely, money will definitely not be a problem!"
