The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 646
A Cartier fountain pen has a gorgeous shape and bright colors, as if it is not just a fountain pen, but also a cherished and reluctant to use artwork.

Different from other Cartier fountain pens of the same style, this Cartier fountain pen is inlaid with an AC Milan team logo. When you touch it gently with your fingers, you can feel that the team logo does not match the pen itself. It's because the team logo is a bit rough, and it's somewhat abrupt on the gorgeous and detailed pen.

But even so, he still threw away the Bic pen he had been using all the time and used this Cartier.

When he has nothing to do, he likes to take out the pen and play with it in his hand, as if a child is playing with his favorite toy, and then carefully examines the team emblem on the pen, falling into the daze.

"I solemnly ask you, don't use it to sign a new Juventus contract!"

This is the person who gave him the pen. After giving this farewell gift, he said a sentence. He couldn't tell whether it was a casual sentence, serious, or pure. Just to show a handful of humor.

He has been troubled by this question for a long time, because he has always been a more emotional person, and he often thinks, what if that person is serious?What if he was just joking?if……

Maybe this kind of trouble is unnecessary, because that person doesn't have much affection for him at all.

"We won the Serie A while you were on the bench, or in the stands, so Andre, our coach Allegri told me that if you want to stay, He can accept it, but you will no longer be able to appear in the midfielder position, he will arrange you to play on the left wing of the midfield."

"And I have to tell you, Andre, that the club's policy has decided to make some adjustments. For those players over the age of 30, we will only offer twelve-month contract extensions!"

"We are very grateful for everything you have done for the team, but, Andre, this is our condition!"

The conversation above took place between Galliani and Andre Pirlo in the general manager's office of the AC Milan club, and at that meeting, Pirlo told Galliani very clearly that he would not Will accept the treatment of a substitute and a one-year sign, because he feels that this is an insult to him.

As he said to his agent Tulio Tinti, he can accept a salary cut, even to 250 million euros, but he needs to get a guaranteed contract, and at the same time the main force Commitment to position.

But after that meeting, the relationship between the two parties broke down completely.

As a result, the outside media quickly spread the news that Pirlo was leaving AC Milan, and he soon received invitations from some wealthy teams, such as Inter Milan, Moratti's consultant Leonardo personally gave him A call was made to invite him to return to Inter Milan, but it didn't take long for Leonardo to be poached by Newcastle as the general manager of Newcastle.

At the same time, Juventus also sent an invitation to him, but Pirlo was hesitant about the Bianconeri's invitation, because Juventus could not play in the Champions League in the new season, and he knew very well that he would switch from AC Milan to Juventus. It will definitely be attacked by Milan fans, which is a kind of betrayal for them.

Even in Pirlo's view, it was the betrayal he suffered first, but the fans will definitely ignore you.

In the No.30 eighth round of Serie A, which is the last round, he was not even included in the squad for the match by Allegri, so he did not follow the team to the away game, but stayed at home, but he still sat Watching the live broadcast of the game in front of the TV, AC Milan, which has already won the championship, obviously did not play well. It was a 0:0 draw.

After the game, Pirlo's phone call was made.

"Hello, Andre!" The voice of the person on the phone was a little familiar, a little strange, and he couldn't recognize it for a while. Fortunately, that person immediately introduced himself, "I'm Ye Qiu!"

"Hello, Mr. Ye Qiu!" Pirlo was a little surprised. He would never have thought that Ye Qiu would call him personally.

Of course, he is not the kind of person who has never seen the world. His family business is also very large, and he has invested in a lot of businesses, so playing football is not a matter of money at all for him, but a way to prove his self-worth. way.

"I know you decided to leave Milan, have you considered changing the environment, to the Premier League, to London!" Ye Qiu didn't waste any nonsense, he likes to be direct instead of beating around the bush as rumored outside.

"Go to the Premier League? Tottenham Hotspur?" Pirlo was a little surprised, a little surprised.

Ye Qiu on the phone hummed and laughed three or four times, "You know, when I invited you to London, you rejected me, but this time I still sincerely invite you to London, I hope You won't reject me again!"

He still remembers!

Pirlo's first reaction was that when Ye Qiuchu was in charge of Chelsea, he had invited him to London. But at that time, Pirlo was at the peak of his career in AC Milan. Look, it's impossible to join Chelsea.

That time was similar to now, Ye Qiu called him personally, but Pirlo politely declined Ye Qiu's invitation.

"To be honest, thank you very much for calling, Mr. Ye Qiu, but..." Pirlo hesitated, "I still prefer to stay in Italy, you know I have never played football abroad."

"Are you afraid?" Ye Qiu on the phone laughed.

"It's not that I'm afraid, it's just..." Pirlo was a little annoyed by Ye Qiu's smile, but he was really scared.

He was afraid that he would not be able to adapt to the more competitive and faster-paced Premier League if he left the familiar Serie A. Will he return to Serie A in despair?Will there be any Serie A teams wanting him by then?At that time, can he still get the main position of the Italian national team to participate in the European Cup next year?

All of this made Pirlo feel scared.

"That's right, Andre, it's normal for you to be afraid, but don't you think that overcoming fear is a very interesting thing? And do you think, in your position, do you still need to prove anything to others? Or, Will you give in to fear?" Ye Qiu still said with a chuckle on the phone.

"No sir, I just..."

"Don't just stop, Andre, this time you can't refuse, because I need you to help my restructured team, to win the Premier League title, to win the Champions League title, which Juventus can't give Yours is also something you can't refuse, isn't it?" Ye Qiu said very confidently.

Pirlo on the phone was silent. He had no way of doubting whether what Ye Qiu said was exaggerated, but he really believed that if Tottenham Hotspur said that they were capable of winning the Champions League, no one would doubt it, because even This team sold some stars, and they're still one of the strongest teams on the planet.

What's more, Ye Qiu has proved his strength and level with one miraculous champion after another in the past ten years, and he will definitely continue his miraculous journey in the future. For this, Pirlo is very happy. believe.

"Let me think about it, okay?" Pirlo asked after being silent for more than ten seconds. He really had no way to refuse.

"Yes, but I hope to give me the answer before July comes, and I also hope that on the Fourth of July, when the team is training, you have already put on our Tottenham Hotspur jersey!"

"Thank you!" Pirlo sincerely thanked him on the phone.

…………

…………

Sitting on the plane from Milan to London, sitting in the BMW car from Heathrow Airport to White Hart Lane, Pirlo has been playing with the Cartier pen in his hand from the beginning to the end, thinking about his past life. It's a question I've been thinking about for months.

For my future, just like London at this moment, it is a bit gloomy, but will it be sunny after the gloom?
Perhaps Galliani will be very happy, because Pirlo did not use the Cartier pen he sent to sign the Juventus contract in the end. Currently ranked number one in Europe, the Premier League is known as the most competitive league in the world.

Can I continue the glory of Serie A here?
Pirlo didn't have an answer, but it was clear that the Tottenham fans welcomed his arrival.

When the team decided to sell Cesc Fabregas to Barcelona for a sky-high price of 500 million euros, they were happy for the club's transfer operation on the one hand, but on the other hand, they were also worried about the team's success in the next season. Worrying about running midfield.

But when they heard that Pirlo will join Tottenham Hotspur, all Tottenham fans are full of expectations for Pirlo's future, because they believe that Pirlo will occupy the team Take a place and become a vital member of the team, continuing his magical performance in Serie A.

But after selling Cesc Fabregas, Tottenham Hotspur announced once again that they sold Spanish midfielder David Silva to Real Madrid for a high price of 6000 million euros. It also made Tottenham Hotspur the focus of the most attention in the transfer market, because they have a transfer fee of more than 1 million euros in their hands.

Yaya Toure was sold during the winter break, David Silva and Cesc Fabregas were sold during the summer transfer, and Sandro, Vidal and Pirlo were brought in. Obviously, Ye Qiu's intention to carry out subversive reforms in the midfield has been clearly revealed, and everyone's suspense about the new season of the Premier League is, will this reorganization of Tottenham Hotspur work?

Also, can Pirlo and Vidal play a key role in Tottenham Hotspur in the new season?And will the team's overall tactics be adjusted?If it is to continue to play three midfielders, then who will the other midfielder be?Ramsey?Phil Jones?Sandro?Eriksson?Or Coutinho?

Obviously, Tottenham Hotspur's midfield competition has also completely heated up!

Faced with the media's questions about how the team will play in the new season and what kind of lineup they will use, Ye Qiu said that he has no idea, and everything depends on the performance of the players after the training camp for the new season. Make sure.

"As I have always emphasized before, we have never been a team that relies too much on a certain player, and we have never relied too much on a certain style of play. We need to constantly change our tactics. Play style, keep improving some ideas, and keep pace with the times, so that you can always maintain your combat effectiveness and keep your hunger and thirst."

"To do this, we need to introduce some fresh blood, and we also need to integrate the thinking of everyone in the team and maintain a unified philosophy. So far, I am very satisfied with the transfer operation of the team this summer. !"

After selling Yaya Toure, Cesc Fabregas, and David Silva, Tottenham Hotspur earned nearly 2011 million transfer fees in the first half of 1000 , but only paid Vidal's [-] or two million euros, and he is still a big winner in the transfer market.

When a reporter asked whether Tottenham Hotspur's new season would be affected by the team's transfer market operations, Ye Qiu said that he was not worried at all, because he was very satisfied with the team's current lineup.

"You know, the most important thing for a team is to have competition. In our team, there are not only veterans including Pirlo, Beckham, Raul, but also Messi, Ribery, Cavani, Thiago Silva, Alves and other powerful stars, but more importantly, Vidal, Sandro, Ramsey, Eriksson, Kyle Walker and other players can all The position launched a strong impact, I think this is a very reasonable team lineup configuration!"

"The fans are worried about the team, I can understand, but what I want to say is that the combat effectiveness of a team and whether the team can be successful depends not only on whether the team invests in the transfer market. Big money, at least we've been at the forefront of success for the past few seasons."

"Many people may think that we have not invested in the transfer market, but they should see that Pirlo is still the world's top organizational midfielder. He is a veritable superstar. No one can deny this, and I I also firmly believe that he can succeed in Tottenham Hotspur and return to his peak!"

"Vidal is a very good midfielder, his arrival will make our midfield tougher and more impactful, and he has very good foot skills, which is very similar to our style. There is Sandro, he is a very potential Brazilian player, he is the captain of the Brazil U20 national team, and will lead the team to participate in the U20 World Youth Championship in August this year."

"There are also Phil Jones, Pogba, Eriksson, Coutinho, they are all very good and have great potential. As for Ramsey, I think he should play a more important role in the new season. role, he will become a pivotal member of the team, which I believe no one will object to!"

Tottenham Hotspur can be said to be full of talents. Ramsey's potential and strength have been proven in the past few years, regardless of whether it is Eriksson, Coutinho, Pogba, Phil Jones, etc. , are also future rookies with both strength and potential. This group of people will compete fiercely in Tottenham Hotspur. The best and most improved people will stay and become the main force.

This was Ye Qiu's strategy, and it was also a move he made to urge this group of young players to maintain rapid progress and self-discipline.

In addition, this season Ye Qiu also plans to promote Nick Powell to the first team to participate in joint training. This young English native is called Pirlo II. Now that Pirlo has come to Tottenham Hotspur, he Of course, this successor has to follow and learn, and I hope he can learn more from Pirlo.

In addition to the three midfielders, Ye Qiu also announced that he will recall Brazil international Lucas Moura from Ajax to Tottenham Hotspur, which is also seen as a sign that Tottenham An important move for Tottenham to further strengthen their bench thickness.

But on the day Tottenham Hotspur announced Pirlo's joining, Times columnist Martin Samuel revealed in his column that the reason why Ye Qiu made great efforts to clean Fabregas and David Schier Wat, in fact, is revealing a message to everyone that the only indispensable thing is Tottenham Hotspur, not anyone.

"Cesc Fabregas has been entangled with Barcelona for the past few years. There was also an incident of being put on a Barcelona jersey last summer, which caused Tottenham Hotspur to be dissatisfied with the sponsors. Turnham Hotspur didn't make any statement, but Ye Qiu is obviously getting impatient."

"David Silva is eager to join Real Madrid, and after the failure of the introduction of Cesc Fabregas, Real Madrid also wants to get David Silva, so the two sides hit it off and finally sold two Spanish midfielders at a high price. "

"Many people think that this is Ye Qiu's move to adjust the team's technical and tactical style, but in fact they haven't noticed it. This is also a signal Ye Qiu sent to the big-name stars in the team, that is, don't worry about it. Make trouble for me, or I can sell anyone!"

"You know, in the past few years, Tottenham Hotspur sold forwards, wingers and defenders, but now Ye Qiu not only sells midfielders, but also sells them all as soon as they are sold. This is a signal of his iron-fisted integration of the team. Some Tottenham Hotspur insiders even revealed that Ye Qiu even gave orders to the management. Anyone, no matter who they are, can leave if they want. It can be seen that he has reorganized this time How determined is your determination!"

"In the end, Ribery expressed his position to stay in the team early, and then Messi, Cavani, Thiago Silva and other players expressed their position to stay in the team one by one. This was undoubtedly deterred by Ye Qiu's thunderous means. Now, they're feeling a crisis, they can't play like they did last season in a slow, unambitious way."

"Reorganization may be just one of Ye Qiu's goals. His more important goal is to regain the ambitions of the players in the team, rekindle their desires, and their hunger and pursuit of championships and honors!"

"To use a Chinese idiom to describe it, knock the mountain and shake the tiger!"

Or, it can also be said to be an example to others.

What Martin Samuel said in the column was reprinted by countless media, and it was seen as Ye Qiu conveying his intentions to his players through his column.

As long as anyone goes against Ye Qiu's intentions and thoughts, there will only be one result in the end, leave!
