The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 583
On the night of May 5, London became a city that never sleeps. Even on the second day, countless fans gathered outside White Hart Lane and Stratford Stadium in the Olympic Park to celebrate.

In particular, all the players of the Tottenham Hotspur first team took a bus to parade around the city, which attracted the attention of everyone in the city. Countless fans, whether they were Tottenham Hotspur fans or other teams, All participated in this event.

Once a year, after Ye Qiu took over Tottenham Hotspur, this north London team will have such a parade around the city almost every year, which has become Tottenham Hotspur The fans are used to it, and the team never disappoints them, bringing championships and honors time and time again.

But after the big celebrations, everything has to go on.

A week later, on the afternoon of May 5th, in the last round of the Premier League final game, Tottenham Hotspur defeated the newly promoted Burnley team, which had been relegated early, 9-6 away, ending the season early. And although Chelsea beat Wigan Athletic 0-8 in the final round, it didn't help.

At this point, the entire 09/10 season of the Premier League has finally come to an end. Tottenham Hotspur finally scored a record 34 points with [-] wins, three draws and one loss, becoming the Premier League player in history. The team with the highest scoring rate, but more importantly, Tottenham Hotspur completed an unprecedented impressive record of winning against strong teams.

Falcao, who performed a hat-trick in the last round, got his wish and won the throne of the top scorer in the Premier League, while Messi won the Premier League assists leader and the silver boot winner of the Premier League scorer list. If we look at the current situation , These two players will also get the European Golden Boot and Silver Boot at the same time.

Tottenham Hotspur's Premier League journey this season ended in a successful way. This season's Tottenham Hotspur set a number of Premier League historical records, which also made all reporters and professionals agree that Tottenham Hotspur Hotspur's championship this season is full of gold, and it is well-deserved to win the championship.

There are even many people who regret that Tottenham Hotspur missed the Champions League final due to a misjudgment, but regarding this point, Ye Qiu said in an interview that the team will continue to strengthen its own strength and further improve the quality of the ball. The team's technical and tactical adjustments to a more reasonable structure will definitely make a difference in the Champions League.

"Defending the Champions League, for us, will definitely not be a flash in the pan, and we will not become No. [-] of Nottingham Forest!"

You know, Nottingham Forest also created brilliance under the leadership of Clough and won the miracle of defending the Champions League. But after that, Nottingham Forest gradually declined, and now it is sinking in the low-level league. .

Ye Qiu believes that Tottenham Hotspur's current adjustment is to return to the top of Europe in the near future, and Tottenham Hotspur's goal for the next season will not change, it will still be the two teams of the Premier League and the Champions League. championship trophy.

However, the performance in Tottenham Hotspur is so eye-catching, especially the Colombian center Romedal Falcao, who has suddenly become popular this season, has received widespread attention from the outside world, while Ribery, Messi , Cesc Fabregas, David Silva and other stars are also being hyped as always, and the targets are nothing more than Manchester City, Real Madrid and Barcelona.

Frankly speaking, apart from Real Madrid, Barcelona and Manchester City, almost no team can afford such a high transfer price for Tottenham Hotspur players, and in Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth ? Bell switched to Real Madrid, but when Real Madrid failed to break Barcelona's monopoly on La Liga, Florentino also said again that Real Madrid would further invest more.

Because of Ye Qiu's arrival, Real Madrid's situation has changed this season. Not only did this giant in the Spanish capital not suffer the humiliation of being humiliated by a team in the third division in the Copa del Rey in their previous life, but they finally reached the final of the Copa del Rey. There is hope to win the championship, and the results with Barcelona in the league are also one win and one loss.

Although Pellegrini's team failed to make a breakthrough in the Champions League, the joining of Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale has improved the strength of Real Madrid's two wings. Because, the strength of Real Madrid's trident is not inferior to that of Manchester United, but it is not as good as Tottenham Hotspur's attack power.

In the case that Pellegrini chooses to stay in office and continues to be entrusted with important tasks, Chilean engineers will continue to transform Real Madrid, especially the transformation of the midfield. Dano made a list of signings for two positions, namely defensive midfielder and central defender.

It is reported that in Pellegrini's list, the midfielder position he most desires is Yaya Toure from Tottenham Hotspur. The performance in one or two seasons is impressive, especially this season, showing the stability of the top midfielder, which reminds people of Vieira at his peak.

Real Madrid's transfer department also included Michael Essien, who has made rapid progress at Chelsea this season, and Roma's midfielder Daniel De Rossi, as well as Arsenal's Alexander Song. An eye-catching midfielder who performed very well.

As for the central defenders, according to reports from the Spanish newspaper Marca, Tottenham Hotspur's two main central defenders, Thiago Silva and Ziglinski, have both appeared at the forefront of Real Madrid's signing list , these two central defenders have won everyone's affirmation for their performance in Tottenham Hotspur in the past season.

But it is also revealed that Real Madrid's goal is not the two main central defenders, but Tottenham Hotspur's third central defender Vincent Kompany. Although the Belgian central defender rotates with Ziglinski, his performance is poor He did not lose to Ziglinski, but the Ukrainian has a higher status in the team than him.

In this case, it became a reality for Kompany to leave the team and switch to Real Madrid. The Belgian central defender not only improved rapidly in defensive skills, but also has a high level of ball handling and passing, which is very in line with Pellegrini's attitude towards central defenders. requirements.

In La Liga, a central defender must have the ability to play the ball. This is a general consensus.

But obviously, whether it is a defensive midfielder or a central defender, it is obviously not the superstar that Florentino wants, so many media have published that the superstar that Real Madrid will focus on introducing this season is from Totten Tottenham's chief center Romedal Falcao, Inter Milan's world number one center Zlatan Ibrahimovic, and Chelsea's World of Warcraft Drogba, these three centers are the goals of Real Madrid.

After all, with Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale occupying the left and right sides respectively, if they want to continue to introduce attacking superstars, the center becomes the only choice.

It is reported that Real Madrid's meritorious captain Raul will leave the Bernabéu Stadium after the end of this season, but he has not yet determined where he will go, but German media revealed that many Bundesliga teams are interested in introducing Raul, including Schalke 04.

When the transfer market began to surge, English football also ushered in a chaotic situation.

If it is said that the Premier League in the 90s of the last century belonged to Manchester United and Arsenal, then with the rise of Chelsea in the new century, the three heroes began to compete for hegemony, but soon, Liverpool also rose strongly and ushered in the semi-finals.

But not long after, with Ye Qiu taking over Tottenham Hotspur and creating a miracle of successfully defending the Champions League, with the strong entry of the Abu Dhabi consortium into Manchester City and the banner of petrodollars, last season Russia The rich man Rybonovlev bought West Ham United and spent a lot of money to build a London powerhouse. Everything made the Premier League messy.

The top four in the Premier League last season were Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal, followed by Manchester City, West Ham United, Aston Villa, Liverpool and Everton.

If you look at the standings, Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea and Manchester United belong to the first tier, especially Tottenham Hotspur, whose strength lead is too obvious; Arsenal, Manchester City, West Ham United, Aston Aston Villa, Liverpool and Everton belong to the second tier. You must know that the points gap between the highest-ranked Arsenal and the lowest-ranked Everton is only ten points, but the difference between Arsenal and Manchester United The gap between them is also very large.

In other words, Arsenal's fourth place in the Premier League is not solid, and the aggressive signings of teams including Manchester City and West Ham United have also had an effect. The key point is that Mancini of Manchester City and West Ham Claudio Ranieri of the Mundesliga has well combined a relatively strong overall team. Coupled with the effect of burning money, the performance and strength of the two teams have been greatly improved.

But after Manchester City and West Ham United, another rich team has landed in the Premier League, that is, the Magpies Newcastle, which was upgraded from the English Championship, was acquired by the Qatar royal family. The Qatar royal family has announced that Newcastle will return to the Premier League. In the first season, come up with a transfer budget of no less than [-] million yuan.

Perhaps many people think that the rhetoric of the Qatari royal family is not very good, much inferior to that of Rebonovlev last season, but you must know that West Ham did not actually spend [-] million on signings last season. More is to take advantage of the advantages of high quality, low price and salary to introduce stars such as Eto'o, Lucio and Carvalho, and this team will continue to further hit the top four in the Premier League this season.

With Newcastle returning to the Premier League, the whole world is surprised by the start of the new season of the Premier League, because this season's Premier League not only has such powerful teams as Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United and Arsenal, but also Chelsea. The former local tyrants, and the current local tycoons such as Manchester City, West Ham United and Newcastle, such fierce competition is simply driving people crazy.

But when everyone was amazed at the attractiveness of the Premier League, the Times exclusively revealed that Reliance Industries Group, a Fortune [-] company from India, and India’s richest man, Ambani, ranked eighth on the world’s richest list, Under the lead of the Royal Bank of Scotland, the acquisition of the Red Army Liverpool was completed, but the entire acquisition amount was not disclosed.

Royal Bank of Scotland has provided Liverpool with huge loans, but under the leadership of Liverpool's current two club owners Hicks and Gillette, Liverpool's debts are increasing day by day, especially when Tottenham Hotspur's strong rise makes Liverpool often miss In the Champions League, a large amount of income was missed, and the club's debt exceeded [-] million pounds.

In such a huge debt situation, not to mention the new stadium that Hicks and Gillette promised to the fans before, even the team's signings can't pay for it, and it was previously reported that the Qatar Royal Consortium intends to acquire Liverpool , but the two bosses of Liverpool opened their mouths like lions, scaring off the big benefactor. This move angered the Royal Bank of Scotland.

In the end, Liverpool's two bosses compromised with their creditors and announced that they would sell their shares to Ambani, the top rich man from India, who also created the Mumbai team of the Indian Super Cricket League.

As the eighth richest person on the Forbes list in 2009, Ambani surpassed Mansour of the Abu Dhabi consortium and Abrahimovic of Chelsea in personal assets. The former ranked [-]th, followed by However, Ambani is still behind Tottenham Hotspur boss Ye Qiu, who ranks even higher than him.

Therefore, the first thing Ambani did after taking over Liverpool was to announce the retention of Benitez.

"Obviously the difficulties that Liverpool encountered in the past should not be borne by the head coach. I think Benitez is a very good head coach, and he is one of the few top players in today's football who can keep pace with Ye Qiu. Marshal, I have no reason to let such a talent go!"

Ambani also announced that Liverpool will spend a lot of money on signings this season, to rebuild Liverpool into the top team in the Premier League, so that Liverpool can win the results worthy of the team's honor, and he will immediately honor the former two American clubs. What the owner could not keep was the announcement of the restart of the team's new stadium plan, which is expected to be officially opened in the summer of 2013.

It can be said that this move by the Indian boss immediately won the affirmation of Liverpool fans. After all, in the past few years, Liverpool fans have already bought Hicks and Gillette's stinginess and their false promises, and they also think that, There is no problem with Benitez's coaching ability. If he can build the team as he pleases, Liverpool's revival is expected.

With Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur all announcing a change of ownership, only Arsenal has not lost, but this does not mean that Arsenal still maintains local characteristics, because the Gunners' shareholders have already been filled with foreign investors. The traces of the consortium, but the shareholders of the Gunners are now eagerly waiting for the huge acquisition of the consortium.

The Guardian exclusively reported that one of Arsenal's shareholders, who did not want to be named, told the Guardian reporter that if a consortium is willing to bid 15 billion pounds and promise to accept all of Arsenal's debts, it will be able to get all of Arsenal's shares.

However, these remarks were condemned by professionals as nonsense. The reason is very simple. Arsenal is currently heavily in debt. The short-term debt of Highbury Square Apartments will be due in 2012. There are liabilities of more than £5000 million.

In other words, if anyone takes over Arsenal with 15 billion pounds and assumes all the debts, the total purchase price will exceed the 18 billion pounds that the Glazer family bid for Manchester United. Thank you very much, is there anyone willing to buy Arsenal at a higher price than Manchester United?

Of course, Arsenal also have good reasons. Their 5000 million pounds is a long-term low-interest loan and bonds held by some fans, which is a healthy debt, but the question is, who is willing to bear these?

Arsenal's board was right when they said that any company needs debt, and that's true, because running a company is more than what outsiders think.

Just like the current Tottenham Hotspur, Ye Qiu has just obtained a low-interest long-term loan of [-] million pounds from Barclays Bank through Tottenham Hotspur not long ago. This loan was almost initiated by Barclays Bank. The interest rate proposed was very low, and for Ye Qiu and Tottenham Hotspur, there were [-] million pounds of low-interest long-term loans, so don't take them for nothing.

With this money, Ye Qiu plans to build a China Town on a 150-acre land between the Royal Albert Dock and Canary Wharf in East London through the Tottenham Hotspur Real Estate Company.

It has been rumored for many years that a Chinatown will be built on the East London Dock, because the existing Chinatown is located in the Soho district of London's commercial center, which is now the headquarters of the Football Association, which has brought inconvenience to London's planning and development.

In the planning of the London City Government, it is not only to build a Chinatown, but also to build an international development project to attract Chinese investment. There was a special plan in 2004, but then the main task of London has always been It was at the Olympic Games, and there was a problem with the funding of the Olympic Games, so the Chinatown plan has always been shelved.

Ye Qiu's idea is that this place should not only be built into a new Chinatown, but also a window for Chinese culture to show itself to the outside world, so in the whole project, there are not only old-fashioned Chinese-style shopping streets and food streets, At the same time there are
Chinese classical gardens, temples and a series of traditional buildings.

This is an authentic large-scale Chinese theme park, and it will also be the first theme park in Europe that displays Chinese traditional culture and characteristics in an all-round way. In Ye Qiu's words, the purpose of building this Chinatown is to let all British and Europeans can better understand Chinese culture and traditions.

Ye Qiu's suggestion has already been supported by the Chinese community in London, and these overseas Chinese who have a deep understanding of the habits of Londoners have also given quite a lot of good opinions. For example, they feel that the failure of American theme parks in the UK is a very important one. The reason is that the proud British do not want to be followers of American culture.

"We should tell them about the fascinating Chinese culture in a way that makes them hard to refuse!"

Therefore, this is not only a theme park for cultural display, but also a city within a city integrating business, office, food, tourism, Chinese education, leisure and entertainment.

As for Ye Qiu and Tottenham Hotspur, they hardly need to pay any fees for the Chinatown project, which invested a total of [-] million pounds. All are in the charge of an engineering team from China and are expected to be completed before the London Olympics!
This project has not only received strong support from the London City Government, which has always hoped to develop the surrounding area of ​​the Royal Albert Dock, but also received strong support from the Chinese government and all walks of life. Many investors even expressed their interest in Investing in the vicinity of Chinatown has also attracted the attention of the British and London governments.

It can be said that the entire Chinatown project has not yet started, but it has already attracted attention from all walks of life and been frequently reported by the media just in the design stage, and it has become popular in advance.
