The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 645

If Arturo Vidal were to pick a coach he respects the most, it would undoubtedly be Heynckes.

During the two years when the latter coached Leverkusen, Vidal transformed from a bewildered generalist in the backcourt to a core member of the pharmaceutical factory's midfielder. Bro, he has perfectly transformed into a Bundesliga steals leader with [-] goals, [-] assists and [-] yellow cards in a single season.

Many people say that without Vidal, Leverkusen could not have won the runner-up in the league last season and entered the Champions League.

Under the guidance of Heynckes, Vidal adjusted his mentality and his attitude on the court. The never-ending fighting passion made him a core member of Leverkusen and the team's midfielder. The key figure also made him the most dazzling star in the Bundesliga last season.

Just look at how many giant teams are chasing Vidal now!

Bayern Munich, coached by Heynckes, locked the most important signings of the summer on Vidal, Inter Milan, AC Milan, Juventus, Naples, Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, Chelsea, Arsenal, West Ham United, Newcastle , Manchester City... Almost all the teams pursuing Vidal are the top teams in Europe.

Among all the teams pursuing Vidal, the Chilean most wants to go to Heynckes' Bayern Munich, because he knows very well that Heynckes knows him and knows how to use him, so he is willing to continue to play in Heynckes. Kex, because he believes that joining Bayern Munich will complete a major transformation and improvement in his career.

So Vidal also released the word through his agent, leaving Leverkusen, he hopes to go to Bayern Munich, this is an agreement between him and Heynckes, and Bayern Munich also want to get this Chilean international.

But things in the world are often like this. The more people see it as a certainty, especially the management of Bayern Munich, they feel that the players are inclined to themselves, and Leverkusen can't keep people. The introduction of Vidal should be sure. , Leverkusen also showed their reluctance to admit defeat, announcing to the outside world that they would not sell to Bayern Munich.

The reason is simple. On the one hand, Bayern Munich desperately lowered the price, but on the other hand, they encouraged the player agent to stay in Leverkusen for one year, and then transfer to Bayern Munich in 2012. For Leverkusen, It's just humiliating.

It's already a loss to sell the leading star, but you still want to make more progress?

If it is said that the Bundesliga teams were willing to sell players to Bayern Munich in the past, it was more because they had suffered a lot in European cross-border transfer transactions, for example, many transfer funds were owed or even repudiated. It is very troublesome to pursue such a cross-border transfer transaction, so relatively speaking, they are more willing to sell to Bayern Munich, which is rich in their own country.

Although doing this kind of encourages one's opponents and weakens oneself, it is better than being repudiated by others in cross-border transactions.

But now as the European transfer market has become more and more standardized and rigorous, many Bundesliga teams have no worries in this regard, and Leverkusen now has the initiative, so they can ask door-to-door buyers All paid in cash.

Vidal is also somewhat dissatisfied with Bayern Munich's operation and thinking, because he hopes to transfer to Bayern Munich at a suitable price without falling out with Leverkusen, but now Bayern Munich's approach makes him very embarrassed , it's hard to do.

Therefore, in the past half a month, both Vidal and Heynckes remained silent.

In a reporter interview before the America's Cup, Vidal was pressed to no avail, and he said to the public that he would consider his future after the America's Cup ended, and this time he no longer mentioned that he only wanted to join Bayern Munich thing.

"According to the situation I got, there are many teams wanting to buy me, and Bayern Munich has been working hard to sign me, but Leverkusen does not want to sell me to the same team, so if I can join Bayern Munich , that's great of course, but if not, I think it's a normal thing because I'm a professional footballer!"

Leverkusen officials also stated that they still have a one-year contract with Vidal, and they will not sell Vidal to a direct competitor. Even if they want to transfer, it is impossible to join other Bundesliga teams.

In fact, everyone knows that Leverkusen's strategy is the same as Schalke 04's strategy of selling Neuer. The so-called not selling to the same country's team or competitors is nothing more than bargaining. The key is that Bayern, as a direct competitor of Leverkusen, wants to poach people from pharmaceutical companies, yes, come up with a higher price!
But Bayern Munich is also a penny-pinching iron cock. Although Bayern Munich earns so much every year and makes money almost every year, they have always maintained a very restrained strategy in the operation of the transfer market. Regarding the transfer, Bayern Munich did not let go at all. If you don't sell it, I will handle the players and delay the free transfer for a year.

But when Vidal was still wondering whether he would stay in the Bundesliga next season, or go to other teams, and whether he could participate in the Champions League as he wished, his agent Felicevich called him , Conveying an official invitation from Leverkusen that Vidal may find it difficult to refuse.

Ye Qiu's Tottenham Hotspur!
If you want to talk about the past few seasons, Tottenham Hotspur is definitely the fastest-rising giant team. In the past five years, they have almost created incomparable brilliant achievements. Miracle night in Moscow, defending Champions League , Premier League three consecutive championships, plus a UEFA Cup and several other cups, Tottenham Hotspur's glory has attracted worldwide attention.

Not only that, in this Tottenham Hotspur team there are also superstars such as Messi, Ribery, Cesc Fabregas, and even the outside world has been saying over the years, who Ye Qiu has his eyes on, Who is the future superstar, it can be seen how tempting this team is to professional players.

When Vidal heard that Tottenham Hotspur were interested in him and made an offer to Leverkusen, his first reaction was to agree, but soon, under the reminder of his agent, he realized that There is a question, that is, after joining Tottenham Hotspur, how will he secure his position?
"Perhaps, they want you to replace Yaya Toure's midfielder!" Broker Felicevich guessed.

But what Vidal didn't expect was that after he finished playing Mexico in San Juan, Ye Qiu brought the chief assistant coach Mauro Tassotti to the hotel where the Chilean team was stationed.

Ye Qiu's visit made the whole Chilean national team feel very honored, including the head coach, the team leader, and the officials of the Football Association, all came out to meet him, let alone the players. Alexis Sanchez is familiar with Ye Qiu , although he never played for Tottenham Hotspur, his relationship with Ye Qiu has always been good.

After finally meeting the courtesies, Ye Qiu, Mauro Tassotti and Vidal found a place to sit down in the hotel. Ye Qiu first praised Vidal's game against Mexico Vidal's state and performance are indeed good.

Vidal was also very clear about Ye Qiu's intentions. To be honest, he didn't need to hesitate to join Tottenham Hotspur and play in the Premier League. Have a place?
But soon, this only doubt was dispelled by Ye Qiu, because the latter told him very clearly that this summer, Tottenham Hotspur will reorganize the midfield, and Vidal will prove it in the new season The opportunity to compete with his own strength, Ye Qiu even told him some of his own tactical ideas.

"You know, I can't promise anyone his main force and starting position!"

Ye Qiu's words made Vidal nod involuntarily, because almost no head coach would do such a thing, especially those head coaches who have their own ideas, including Bielsa and Heynckes, they will never promise you the main position. If you want to play a game, then use your strength and state to fight for it.

"But what I can promise is that I will not introduce a player casually and blindly. I will only introduce players that I think will help the team and are also needed by the team. Now I believe that you It can strengthen the midfield strength of our Tottenham Hotspur very well, not only your defense, but also your offense!"

"I believe that in the new season, in the restructured Tottenham Hotspur lineup, you can play an important role. This is the reason why I decided to introduce you, the only reason!"

Vidal was greatly encouraged by Ye Qiu's words. These words almost revealed that Ye Qiu had a good opinion of him, and Ye Qiu could travel thousands of miles from Europe to South America, especially to San Juan. Such a remote city, these are enough to show how much Ye Qiu attaches importance to him.

"Don't worry, I didn't intend to ask you to agree today, talk to your agent and give me a reply!"

Ye Qiu didn't try to force others to do anything against him, but Vidal was a little impatient, "No, no, Mr. Ye Qiu..."

After a pause, the Chilean stood up, "I... am very honored to join Tottenham Hotspur. I will let my agent talk to you. I hope to help Tottenham Hotspur. Continue to achieve more championships and brilliance in the future!"

Ye Qiu also stood up, stretched out his hand with a smile, and shook hands with Vidal, "I hope so too!"

Afterwards, Vidal shook hands with Mauro Tassotti, and the three of them sat down again and continued to discuss the future situation. To Vidal's surprise, Ye Qiu's operation on the midfielder was very smooth this time. Big enough to surprise everyone, it's a sign that the reorganization is about to be overturned.

You must know that for any mature and stable team now, the midfield must not be chaotic. If the midfield is chaotic, there will be problems in the frontcourt and backcourt. very important.

But Ye Qiu's courage and determination to carry out such a huge reform to the midfielder this time are extraordinary.

But judging from the prospect outlined by Ye Qiu, if it really succeeds, Tottenham Hotspur will definitely be able to return to the top of Europe.

Hearing this, Vidal couldn't help but look forward to his trip to North London, because he knew very well that if he really got there, he would have a chance to win the coveted Champions League!

For the internationals of the Chilean national team, the World Cup and the Copa America are almost unattainable dreams, but if they can win the Champions League with Tottenham Hotspur, it will undoubtedly be a dreamlike thing .

…………

…………

On the third day after Ye Qiu quietly took Mauro Tassotti to Argentina and secretly finalized the transfer of Vidal, Tottenham Hotspur announced to all fans and fans on the official website and mobile app The reporter pushed the news that the team introduced Chilean midfielder Arturo Vidal from Leverkusen at a price of 1000 to [-] million euros.

The 24-year-old midfielder is called the Human Torch by many Bundesliga fans. He can make outstanding contributions on both the offensive and defensive ends, and more importantly, he has the skills of a South American player. A very well-rounded midfielder and the best performer in the Bundesliga last season.

The current Bundesliga players can be described as synonymous with cost performance. Real Madrid wants to get Dortmund's midfielder Sahin. Ten thousand euros, the price/performance ratio is very high.

For Tottenham Hotspur's recall of Sandro from Ajax and the introduction of Vidal from Leverkusen, the outside world has given high praise, and they believe that Tottenham Hotspur will continue to maintain Ye Qiu's reputation. The operating style is more about winning with cost-effective signings, rather than blindly admiring balloon stars.

And more people think that Ye Qiu's introduction of two midfielders is to replace Yaya Toure's position. After all, in the second half of last season, Tottenham Hotspur suffered from pain in the lower back , so now two players have been introduced in one go, obviously to plug this loophole.

But on the third day after the team announced the introduction of two midfielders, Barcelona's L'Equipe Daily Sports reported the latest news that Fabregas, the core midfielder of Tottenham Hotspur, will join Barcelona. The transfer fee is likely to create a Spanish player worth record.

You know, when Torres moved to Chelsea, Chelsea spent 500 million euros, but the terrible thing is that after Torres switched to Chelsea, his performance was not good, especially after Ancelotti got out of class, coach Boas Whether he can reactivate Torres after coming to power is also a question that everyone cares about.

As the team's midfielder, Fabregas's performance in the past few seasons is obvious to all, and Barcelona and Real Madrid have always wanted to get this Spanish midfielder, even in the Premier League, including Manchester City, Newcastle, West Ham United and even Liverpool hope to get this midfielder core.

Especially before, the exclusive insider was published by the Spanish newspaper Aspen. Real Madrid had already launched an offensive against Fabregas of Tottenham Hotspur and quoted a transfer price of 6000 million euros, but Rejected by Tottenham Hotspur.

Barcelona's Rosell soon accepted an interview with Catalan regional TV, saying that Barcelona would not pay a sky-high price for Fabregas, "because we already have Iniesta and Xavi, I don't think so. Think Fabregas is an indispensable player for the team!"

Tottenham Hotspur's attitude is also very tough, and they immediately counterattacked. The team's chief operating officer Ron Gurley made a counterattack when he was interviewed by Sky TV, "Almost every time in our fax machine An hour would receive an offer fax, which included Barcelona, ​​and if Russell was telling the truth, then we would welcome it very much, because no one wants to send away their star star!"

At the same time, both the Guardian and The Times have also published comments from a certain management within Tottenham Hotspur. Tottenham Hotspur may refuse to continue negotiations with Barcelona based on Rosell's remarks. , considering selling Cesc Fabregas to Real Madrid.

The tough counterattack from Tottenham Hotspur, Barcelona immediately made amends, the vice-chairman Bartomeu said that the media misunderstood Russell's meaning, "In fact, the introduction of Cesc Fabregas is not only for us, but also for us. In addition to improving the team's combat effectiveness at the competitive level, more importantly, he can reactivate the team's morale and fighting spirit, which is also the wish of all members!"

Barcelona defeated Ferguson's Manchester United in the Champions League final in May this year, and won the Champions League again, completely shattering Ferguson's dream of defending the Champions League, so Barcelona has enough money to invest in signings.

But it is obvious that Tottenham Hotspur have already put on a good posture. In Ye Qiu's words, since Roselle is so arrogant, let him kneel outside the door for an hour, stick out his tongue for an hour, and then talk to him. They talk!

Ye Qiu was very dissatisfied with Roselle's way of poaching players. When I was not selling, you tried every means, even went all out to poach players. Now I am going to sell, but you put on an air of love. Ignore the attitude, don't really think that having a little money in hand is great, if you want to play tricks, who is afraid of whom?

To talk about playing public opinion wars, Tottenham Hotspur have never been afraid of anyone.

On the one hand, Tottenham Hotspur refused to negotiate with Barcelona in their spare time. On the other hand, they began to disclose Real Madrid's offer through high-profile media reports. In fact, the price offered by Real Madrid was not that high. It was 5000 million before. Euros, but now it has risen to 500 million euros, but Tottenham Hotspur's asking price is 7000 million euros.

Almost the whole world was frightened by Tottenham Hotspur's big opening, because even if Fabregas is strong, it is difficult to sell such a high price.

But as Ferguson is complaining now, he asked David Gill to raise the transfer offer of Cristiano Ronaldo to more than 5000 million euros. David Gill thought it was impossible to have such a crazy price, which would scare Retired to Real Madrid, so it eventually resulted in the cheap sale of Cristiano Ronaldo.

Later, Ferguson said that for membership teams like Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​when they promise to introduce superstars, this is tantamount to a political task, which must be achieved, otherwise, members will vote to protest.

Florentino beat Sanz, Gaspart beat Nunez, it turns out Ferguson was right.

Unless you offer a sky-high price that they can't afford at all, otherwise, as long as it is within their acceptable range, they will agree. This is the case with Real Madrid and Barcelona.

And Ye Qiu also told Peter Kenyon and Ron Gourley that since they want to be a black shop, they must be black to the end!
But while selling people, the team's pace of signings has not slowed down, and it is still proceeding in an orderly manner.
