The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 639 Inside Story
I don't know when, Sean Ingle began to enjoy the treatment of a senior reporter within the Guardian.

The so-called senior reporter's treatment is that the comments and reports he writes can always appear in the most prominent position, even the headlines on the front page, and he can open his own signed column, occasionally exposing some of the players of a certain team. Inside information, to satisfy the desire of those fans in a certain aspect.

But these are all false, the real preferential treatment is that he can enjoy a lot of public fund consumption reimbursement, and he can even appear in a famous high-end coffee shop in London during working hours as he is now.

Sometimes he doesn't know how he got here, even he often wakes up in the morning, looking at the street-facing apartment he just bought, then at the newly bought luxury car downstairs, and at the sleeping room. The fiancée in his bed, he really felt as if everything was unreal.

Perhaps, at that time, he would slap himself hard to see whether all this is true.

It seems that at this moment, sitting in this coffee shop in London, in front of him is a cup of his favorite cappuccino, and the person opposite is from Spain, a famous Spanish reporter working for the Daily Sports News, Luis • Mascaro.

This is the most popular columnist of the Daily Sports except for the editor-in-chief Maria Casanovas. He has a very good relationship with many Catalan international footballers. L'Equipe, he can also get a lot of inside information that outsiders don't know, and they even act as Barcelona's source of news channels in many cases, helping the team dig some inside information.

Almost everyone knows that Sean Ingle is a die-hard fan of Tottenham Hotspur. To find him, it must be related to Tottenham Hotspur, and the Spanish news related to Tottenham Hotspur , basically there is only one, Cesc Fabregas!
Starting from the World Cup in South Africa being covered with Barcelona jerseys, and then returning to his hometown and hearing the fans in his hometown shouting for Barcelona, ​​Cesc Fabregas publicly stated in an interview that he hopes to return to Barcelona, ​​but he finally chose to stay at Tote last summer Nam Tottenham, the reason is very simple, he is still hesitant.

Perhaps, at certain moments, he will be emotionally moved, but after calming down, especially after talking with Ye Qiu and others in detail, he will become calmer, but all signs show that he really wants to To leave London and go home.

Tottenham Hotspur is in crisis, which is what everyone is saying, even though the North London team defeated Stoke City 30:3 at home in the second round of the Premier League No. In the knockout round of the Champions League quarterfinals, they lost 1:1 at home to Manchester United. At the critical moment, Wayne Rooney beat Tottenham Hotspur.

Manchester United finally eliminated Tottenham Hotspur again by virtue of the number of away goals, and successfully advanced to the semi-finals.

This is the only time in the past four seasons that Tottenham have failed to reach the semi-finals.

Meanwhile, Yaya Toure scored the winning goal and Phil Jones received a red card in the weekend's FA Cup semi-final defeat at City Stadium in Manchester.

In just one week Tottenham have suffered a rout on two fronts, and the irony is that the disparity between two players, Yaya Toure and Phil Jones, is almost heaven and hell The gap made Tottenham Hotspur fans feel regretful and embarrassed.

Even if they won the league championship with a proud advantage of [-] points, even if Tottenham Hotspur's record in the past few seasons is astonishing compared to any team in Europe, but everyone can see Come out, this team is in trouble, especially after selling Yaya Toure.

Some people began to compare Tottenham Hotspur's sale of Yaya Toure to Florentino's sale of Makelele. Mistakes, the next few years will start to go downhill.

From the perspective of football industry analysts, this is not a big deal.

Almost all top giants have their own peaks and troughs. After achieving their peak record, they ushered in a period of trough. Standing out in the Premier League and winning three consecutive championships with an absolute advantage is itself the most powerful proof of strength.

In Sean Ingle's view, there is nothing wrong with Tottenham Hotspur letting go of Yaya Toure, because getting together and relaxing has always been the standard of this team. Anyone, even Messi, can Leave, but this time the transfer during the winter break obviously disrupted Ye Qiu's plan and disrupted Tottenham Hotspur's plan.

When you perform poorly, there will definitely be some rumors and rumors, and even many people have begun to hype the defeat of Tottenham Hotspur, thinking that Tottenham Hotspur will completely lose its combat effectiveness next season. The teams have begun to hype the news of poaching, but more English media are still watching Tottenham Hotspur's summer transfer.

In the end is to maintain the current tactical situation, the targeted introduction of a midfielder who can fill Yaya Toure's loophole?
Or should we completely change the general direction, break the existing pattern, and adjust the team's tactics?

You know, there is no flower in a hundred days, and the changes brought by Tottenham Hotspur have stimulated the progress of others. Now the European giants have basically adjusted their tactics and absorbed Tottenham Hotspur. The advantages of stabbing, combined with their own characteristics, tinkered with a set of their own tactical system.

For example, Manchester United's Champions League title last season was precisely the result of Ferguson's courage to make great changes. If he hadn't sold Cristiano Ronaldo, if he hadn't brought in Benzema, Sneijder and Lars Dia Pull, which Champions League can Manchester United have?
With Tottenham Hotspur's current strength, no matter how they adjust or change, no team would dare to underestimate them. However, if they want to win the Champions League again, it will be very difficult. At least Ye Qiu must We must quickly adjust the team's lineup.

"Xion, have you heard that Real Madrid and AC Milan are also making offers for Cesc Fabregas?" Luis Mascaro seemed to ask casually, but I am afraid that this is the reason why he invited Sean Ying The purpose of Geer's coming out?
"Indeed, I have received news that Florentino has been pursuing Cesc Fabregas for many years, and the news that AC Milan has participated in the competition has only recently come out, but I don't think AC Milan has enough funds to participate in this kind of superstar transfer. Go in the meeting!" Sean Ingle commented on the two teams with a smile.

Luis Mascaro also felt the same way, "That is to say, if Cesc Fabregas really decides to transfer this summer, as the outside world said, then he is most likely to go to Barcelona and Real Madrid!"

"Yes!" Sean Ingle is telling the truth, and it's not a secret. In the words that many people are familiar with, when Tottenham Hotspur decided to sell Cesc Fabregas, There is no need to exert any pressure at all. On the contrary, the hand that has always been used to reject and suppress the player's transfer idea in the past, as long as he relaxes a little, the player's transfer heart will swell.

Fabregas wants to return to Barcelona, ​​which has been sprouting since he arrived in the Premier League. It can even be said that his purpose of leaving La Liga is to return to Barcelona one day, especially when his position in the national team is still behind Ine When Star was with Harvey, this mentality was even stronger.

After all, only by playing the main force in Barcelona and Real Madrid can they hope to compete with Harvey and Iniesta for the main position of the national team, and everyone knows that the Spanish national team is almost invincible in the national team field today.

Playing the main force is tantamount to entering the annals of history. It is conceivable that Cesc Fabregas has a strong return mentality.

After the World Cup in South Africa, if it wasn't for Ye Qiu's strong persuasion, and Barcelona's lack of sincerity and giving up halfway, he would have already submitted a transfer application, and he might be wearing the Barcelona jersey now.

"However, I can tell you very clearly, Luis, he wants to go back to Barcelona!" Sean Ingle basically didn't lie to his colleagues, because this was considered an exchange of information between them.

Mascaro was not surprised by what Sean Ingle said, real madrid is the sworn enemy of everyone in catalonia, the symbol of the capital of spain, and few catalans want to To play for Real Madrid.

"By the way, Luis, how is the situation in Barcelona this year?" Sean Ingle asked in turn.

Luis Mascaro smiled, "The current situation of the team is very good. Guardiola is ambitious and wants to make a difference in the Champions League. You know, the league can no longer satisfy him. Now Russell I also want to complete the work that my predecessor could not complete, and Barcelona missed Villa last season because of the general election, and the pressure on the management is also great."

From the perspective of political struggle, Laporta has wanted to introduce Fabregas for many years, but he has never been able to complete the operation. Now Fabregas has undoubtedly lost his freshness in the Premier League and wants to return. His hometown team has a place in the Spanish national team. If Russell can introduce this superstar, he will undoubtedly be praised by the Barcelona fans.

"However, Tottenham Hotspur's asking price is not cheap!" Sean Ingle chuckled.

Mascaro knew that this was a cliché, "Real Madrid really made an offer of 6000 million euros?"

"It's absolutely true!" Sean Ingle was very sure, this was obviously a secret that wasn't a secret anymore.

"Then I'm not sure, Barcelona's bid will be higher than Real Madrid!" Mascaro shook his head.

Russell still hopes to put pressure on the club through the players, it is best to suppress the transfer fee, after all, doing so is more beneficial to Barcelona, ​​and the feelings of the players are indeed inclined to Barcelona.

"This is why we don't like Barcelona. The transfer operation is too fucked up and too petty!" Sean Ingle chuckled, but Mascaro had no way to refute it, because it was the truth.

Compared with Real Madrid's high-end atmosphere, Barcelona's signings have always given people a very petty feeling. No matter who they are introducing, they are all fussy, and even a bit omniscient. There is no aristocratic feeling at all. That kind of temperament is also what many Barcelona fans are dissatisfied with.

If Real Madrid offered 6000 million euros and was rejected, you should be bolder and just throw 8000 million euros and not sell it?Hit it again!
This is called a wealthy family, this is called an aristocrat!
Barcelona puts pressure through the players. On the surface, they don't seem to be involved, but secretly who doesn't know that you are sneaking behind your back?This is called cheating!Don't treat everyone in the world as fools!
"One thing I want to remind Spanish fans is, don't try to take Tottenham Hotspur as a fool. You know, Ye Qiu and Tottenham Hotspur don't care about such a small amount of money. As for the matter of poaching meat from them, if they make a move on the price, based on what I know about Ye Qiu, it is impossible for the player to transfer in a fit of anger, and he may even be sold to Real Madrid at a low price!" Sean Yingying Geer's reminder was kind and serious.

Mascaro also knows in his heart that Ye Qiu is a person of status and status. If it really makes him unable to step down, then anything can happen. Therefore, over the years, any team with Tottenham Hotspur All business transactions must be done in an aboveboard manner, and no one dares to play any tricks.

"If you want to talk about such a small amount of money, Barcelona can fully afford it. Isn't the 4000 million euros that they wanted to acquire Villa last year useless? Adding this year's transfer fee budget, the transfer fee is enough!" Hope Ern? Ingle laughed.

Many Barcelona fans admire Rosell, which is actually completely unnecessary, because he may not be much better than Laporta. On the contrary, he is not as smart as Laporta in many aspects. Of course, this is not in Quaraporta. tower, but the fact.

For example, many fans believe that Russell runs the team very well and has good finances, but you have to know how much more Barcelona's financial revenue is compared to Laporta's time?How much more to sell the chest ad?The team's performance is much better than that of Laporta, especially in La Liga. There are many stars in the team, and the income from broadcasting fees and jersey sponsorship has increased significantly. If these factors are removed, it will be better than Laporta. How smart was Erta?

According to the inside story learned by Sean Ingle, when Laporta dealt with Fabregas before the World Cup, the two sides reached an agreement face to face. It was only under this agreement that Barcelona players dared to win the World Cup. Putting on a Barcelona jersey for Fabregas caused a jersey storm.

But later Rosell came to power, facing the 7000 million euros offered by Tottenham Hotspur, he chose to give up, and he even hesitated about the 4000 million euros offered by David Villa, which eventually led to Cesc Fabregas Did not come, Villa also went to Liverpool, Barcelona lost on both ends.

But this is not important. What is important is that after he chose to give up, Russell still tried his best to use the media and public opinion, using Fabregas to create momentum for himself, and tried every means to shape the player into a player who wanted to come back. Home, but Tottenham Hotspur have left an impression.

In the end, there was no other way, and under Ye Qiu's persuasion, Cesc Fabregas stood up and said that he would stay at Tottenham Hotspur. At the same time, he expressed his dissatisfaction with Russell's irresponsible remarks. , which brought the turmoil to an end.

It can be said that compared to Real Madrid's aboveboard, Barcelona's mode of operation is questionable.

…………

…………

With the successive defeats in the Champions League and the FA Cup, Tottenham Hotspur failed to complete the outbreak of adversity that everyone expected, and regrettably ended in the Champions League for two consecutive seasons.

Before Ye Qiu played Chelsea in the No.30 Premier League away game, at the press conference, facing reporters' inquiries, he said that the team currently has no problems.

"You know, it is impossible for any team to guarantee that they can win the Champions League every season, or enter the Champions League semi-finals, or even win all the championships. All we can do is to maximize our strength. , and strive to win every game, this is the only thing we can guarantee!"

"For the two consecutive seasons of losing to Manchester United, I think Ferguson's team is now in a very reasonable and balanced stage, and what we need to pay attention to is that in the second leg of the semi-final, we took advantage , It’s just that we didn’t handle it well enough in some aspects, which led to the lore at the last moment.”

"For us, this is a very valuable experience. We haven't lost at home for a long, long time, but this home loss made us realize clearly that we still have many, many shortcomings. To keep improving, we need to work harder and we need to make some changes!"

As for the specific changes that will be made, Ye Qiu did not give a face-to-face explanation, but he told reporters very clearly that the team will introduce the talents needed by the team during the summer transfer.

"We already have a specific goal!" Ye Qiu said with certainty, after all, we have been preparing for two or three months.

Many people have analyzed that the players that Tottenham Hotspur want to introduce must be midfielders, and they are likely to be defensive midfielders, because this position is Tottenham Hotspur's biggest weakness and deficiency.

If letting go of Yaya Toure is a change that Tottenham Hotspur encountered unprepared, then if the summer transfer team does not show any signs and does not make proper signings for the midfielder position, Then Tottenham Hotspur is self-inflicted, and no matter how poorly it performs at that time, there is no way to say more.

Following Ye Qiu's words, the world's media began to hype about Tottenham Hotspur's signings, almost counting the famous midfielders in the entire European football world.

Perhaps in the eyes of some players, Tottenham Hotspur cannot allow them to stay in the team wholeheartedly, but in the hearts of most players in European football, Tottenham Hotspur is undoubtedly their dream to join object.

And Ye Qiu and the coaching staff also started to prepare for the next season in advance.

After all, the league has already won the championship ahead of schedule, and Chelsea are also lining up to meet Tottenham Hotspur at Stamford Bridge.

For two consecutive seasons, two rival teams lined up to greet each other, this feeling is not bad!
