The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 722
All along, Ye Qiu's goal for Tottenham Hotspur has not changed, and that is to build this north London team into a sustainable top giants team.

Around this goal, Ye Qiu has done many, many things, such as doing his best, even selling superstars every year to maintain the team's healthy finances, such as investing heavily in the purchase of multiple real estate development projects in the past few years, and It is to increase efforts to support the team's business development and youth training echelon construction and so on.

Tottenham Hotspur's scouting network is also considered one of the best in today's football, coupled with the support of the huge database of Moon Sports Services, the Tottenham Hotspur's scouting network can find anytime, anywhere The latest talent, which is mainly reflected in the team's twice-yearly talent day selection activities.

But the work of scouts is obviously more than that, such as the investigation and analysis of the next opponent, providing follow-up reports and analysis for the players the team is looking at, or the players on loan, etc. These are all scouts. responsibility.

But in the past few years, because Ye Qiu has the advantage of being a traveler, the scouting department is more to investigate the players provided by Ye Qiu, instead of looking for players based on the needs of the first team, but to For the youth team, the scouting department has provided great support to ensure the performance and talent pool of the Tottenham Hotspur youth team.

Ye Qiu knew very well that his advantage as a traveler would disappear, so the scouting department had to get back on the right track, so this time the team was looking for a right back candidate, and he handed it over to Peter DeVissel Go take full responsibility.

For this right back, Ye Qiu's requirements are also very simple. He has enough ability to gain a foothold in the first team and can enrich the team's tactical characteristics. For example, Kyle Walker is fast and has strong impact. The contribution from the defensive end can be greater, so Ye Qiu hopes to introduce a player with better defensive ability.

Of course, Ye Qiu also attaches great importance to the age of the players. He believes that the maximum age is 25 and cannot exceed this limit. This has also been a standard for Tottenham Hotspur's signings in the past few years. As for those veterans, they are basically free transfers. imported.

Ye Qiu's various restrictions seem to be very harsh and require a lot, but in fact the real difficulty lies in whether this player has solid technical skills and can be integrated into Tottenham Hotspur's overall tactics. is the key.

After hearing that Ye Qiu returned to London, Peter DeVissel knew that Ye Qiu would definitely want to get the result, so he took the candidates submitted by the scouts and the candidates he had personally searched for and finalized. The player list and analysis results were compiled into a report.

In fact, on the afternoon of Ye Qiu's first day back in London, he met Peter Dewissel at Theobald.

"You look quite tired, and your face is not very good-looking!" Peter DeVissel looked at Ye Qiu who was sitting behind the desk. He arrived in London in the morning by plane, and then went to Stratford. Stadium, then White Hart Lane, and now Theobald, it would be a lie to say you are not tired.

"What? Is your report shameful?" Ye Qiu took the report he handed over, joking.

De Vessel sat down across from him and chuckled, "Oh, I didn't put the De Sciglio you mentioned in it. He is too young and inexperienced, and it is difficult to provide enough for the team in the new season." support."

Ye Qiu also accepted this point, nodded and smiled, and said nothing, he just watched an AC Milan game in the UEFA Youth League, and had a good impression of De Sciglio, but as De Vessel said , What Tottenham Hotspur need now is the thickness of the bench, not future rookies.

The matter of cultivating young people should be left to AC Milan to do it themselves!
Casually flipping through the scouting report from Peter DeVissel, Ye Qiu noticed that Everton's substitute, Seamus Coleman, was ranked first. This Irish right-wing player is very comprehensive. , can attack and retreat, can defend, and has good speed. The most notable feature is his active running. His running ability is quite good.

The 23-year-old Irishman joined Everton for £2009 in January 15, but underwent an operation before playing a game, and was loaned out to Blackpool where he performed well.

After returning to Everton in the 10/11 season, he won the trust of Moyes, took the main position, and performed well. After the season, he was nominated for the Young Player of the Year by the English Professional Football Association, but in the end Lost to Arsenal's talented rookie Jack Wilshere.

Coleman, who was originally expected by the outside world, was shoveled by Marchena in the warm-up match against Villarreal before the start of the 11/12 season. He was sidelined for six weeks and missed another game due to a thigh muscle strain in the middle of the season. , causing him to be fragmented throughout the season, and he did not play the best form expected by the outside world.

But in Peter Dewissel's evaluation, Seamus Coleman has a firm foothold in the Tottenham Hotspur first team, and even a player who can compete with Kyle Walker for the main position. The trouble is that Everton does not intend to let the right back go now because he is not worth much.

After a season of injuries and poor performance, Coleman may not consider transferring now, especially to a big team like Tottenham Hotspur. After all, his most pragmatic attitude now is to play steadily and steadily. Everton has regained his form. As for joining Tottenham Hotspur, that must be a matter of the future.

Ranked second is the 21-year-old right-back Montoya from the Barcelona Youth Academy in La Liga. This is also a very promising young rookie. He comes from La Masia. Now Barcelona wants to introduce Alves, but there are many Barcelona diehards believe that they should focus on supporting Montoya, which shows the potential of this player.

Montoya is the star of hope for Barcelona's key cultivation. He is loyal to Barcelona and it is not easy to poach corners. However, if the team considers selling Alba to Barcelona, ​​it might be possible to let Montoya become Alba. Moreover, the Barcelona right-back is still the main force of the Spanish Olympic team and will participate in the London Olympics.

There is also a Spanish player, Carvajal of Castilla from Real Madrid, 20 years old, currently playing for Castilla in the Real Madrid youth team, he performed well last season, and his transfer value will increase , should be around 500 million, but he is also a player with excellent offense and defense.

"They poached our first team, and we ran to poach their youth team. We managed to cultivate them, but in a blink of an eye they will probably be poached back. We are going to become someone else's training factory!" Ye Qiu said with a wry smile. So, these are two consecutive Western Super League duo players.

Peter Dewissel also smiled after hearing this, "From the current point of view, we have to admit that Spain is indeed very good in the youth training of players, and they are not only good in some creativity and quick-wittedness. The players, including the defensive players, are also talented."

Speaking of which, Devisel pointed to the next page, "You read further."

Azpilicueta, 22 years old, the main right back of Marseille in Ligue [-], from Osasuna, with Basque blood in northern Spain, once a super star in La Liga, went to the first place in Ligue [-] He suffered serious injuries in the last season, but he performed very well in Ligue [-] last season, and he is quite an eye-catching young player.

It is reported that Chelsea has taken a fancy to this player in January. At that time, Di Matteo also strongly advocated the introduction of this right back, but then he was suspended due to time constraints. In the summer, Chelsea's right back candidates are mainly in Albany. Weiss and several other players have not yet fallen on Azpilicueta.

The last one is Gino Peruzzi, a 19-year-old right back from Sarsfield, Argentina. He has a high call for being selected for the Argentine national team. He is called the successor of Zanetti. It can be seen that he has performed quite well in the Argentine league. Excellent, with Italian dual citizenship, labor certification is not a problem, and his worth is about 300 million euros.

Gino Peruzzi's shortcomings are also obvious, that is, he is young and lacks experience in European leagues. Whether he can adapt to the Premier League is a big problem, so this player is ranked last by De Vissel.

"Tell me about your suggestion, Peter!" Ye Qiu closed the scouting report with a smile and asked.

If he remembers correctly, Coleman was indeed quite good later on, and some people even said that he was the top right back in the Premier League, while Montoya always played as a substitute for Alves in Barcelona, ​​and Carvajal was loaned out. After leaving Leverkusen, he performed very well, while Azpilicueta switched to Chelsea, quickly gained a foothold, and also performed eye-catching.

As for Gino Peruzzi, this talented right back is indeed very popular. Ye Qiu still remembers that he was highly rated in FM Football Manager. Later, he moved to Catania in Serie A and performed very well.

From this point of view, the scouting report of Peter de Vissel is indeed full of gold. The players who can appear in it basically have no problems in terms of strength, even Montoya, but some problems are What scouts can't even consider is the issue of adaptability.

"I know you don't like Carvajal and Montoya, or you can also consider Newcastle's Davide Thornton, he is still young, and I think he has great potential, Gino Peruzzi is also young The type with potential, I think this Argentine has the potential to be a top right-back in the future."

"Coleman and Azpilicueta are both players with outstanding strength, and they have also proved their strength in the Premier League and Ligue [-], so I think they have no problem adapting to the team, but their worth must be It is also relatively high, and Azpilicueta is Montoya's substitute in the Spanish Olympic team."

According to preliminary estimates, Coleman's worth is around 1000 million euros, while Azpilicueta's worth is more than 600 million euros, which is much higher than Gino Peruzzi's worth of 300 million euros. doubled.

Ye Qiu thought for a while, the team will have to deal with more games in the new season, Kyle Walker alone is not enough, even with the addition of Phil Jones, although the latter is versatile, but after all I am used to playing in midfield, so it is still necessary to introduce a good right back.

"Coleman and Azpilicueta choose one. I will ask someone to have a good talk with Everton and Marseille. Also, do you think Gino Peruzzi is really good?" Ye Qiu asked with concern. In fact, this question is a bit redundant. Will the player who can be called Zanetti's successor perform badly?
"Peruzzi's running ability is also very good, he is very involved in the game, and his style is relatively brave. You also know that young players are brave, with good defensive ability and stable state. They are relatively precocious. He's a good player, but he doesn't rely on his body to play, so I think he has a lot of potential to improve."

Some players mature precociously because of their bodies. For example, Michael Woods, the talented rookie of Chelsea, was favored by countless people, but he relied more on his body when he played football. It is those players who rely more on skills. When they were young, they had no physical advantages, which was relatively bad. When they grew up, their physical fitness improved, and their performance also increased.

Gino Peruzzi can be valued so much by De Vissel, and his strength and potential will not be too bad.

"You want to buy it and then rent it out?" Devisel sometimes felt that Ye Qiu was indeed a pedophile.

"How is Ajax?" Ye Qiu asked with a smile.

Since Ajax sold Van der Weil, the problem of right back has always been a weakness. They also wanted to rent Chambers before, but Ye Qiu sent the Englishman to the Saints. If Gino Peru Qi won and went to Ajax on loan to exercise for a few years. Maybe there is a possibility of returning to Tottenham in the future.

And even if it fails, Tottenham Hotspur can still afford 300 million euros.

This is also the real thinking of all the rich teams to introduce young players, that is, as a reserve for the future, success is naturally the best, and the pressure on the team that fails is not great.

"Argentines hardly play in the Dutch league, they are more in Italy or Spain!" De Vessel laughed, which has to take into account a problem of life adaptability.

"If I remember correctly, Feyenoord's high center forward Kroos and the current Argentine goalkeeper Romero both came from the Dutch league!" Ye Qiu retorted with a smile.

Devisell smiled after hearing this, "Then I'll contact Ajax, and then I'll find out about Sarsfeld."

On the player side, the problem is not big, because the current Tottenham Hotspur is already the team that all players dream of joining, so Ye Qiu believes that if Tottenham Hotspur wants to introduce Gino Peruzzi, the players will not be able to join. will be a hindrance.

"Go and do it!"

With de Vissel's departure, Ye Qiu called Peter Kenyon at White Hart Lane and asked him to contact Everton first. He still prefers to introduce Seamus Cole Mann, after all, this player has accumulated a wealth of experience in the Premier League. There is no problem with his adaptability to join Tottenham Hotspur, and he can be regarded as the most guaranteed signing.

Just after Ye Qiu finished making the phone call, he looked out of his window and saw Roland driving to the parking lot of the first team training building. The people who got out of the car were Drogba and Nei who joined this summer. sta.

Ye Qiu chuckled, turned around and cleaned up the things on his desk, left the office, and went downstairs.

If Ye Qiu’s favorite striker was Ronaldo as a fan in his previous life, then Nesta is his favorite defender, even if he has to admit that Ferdinand has a perfect body as a central defender, but Nesta has you I have to admire the defensive skills and awareness.

Before deciding to bring in Nesta, Ye Qiu talked with Meierseman and Demichelis of the research center and asked them about their views on Nesta's frequent injuries. With the level of the Tottenham Research Center, the possibility of Nesta returning to his peak is zero, but it is still possible to make him the team's stable third central defender.

It was because of this sentence, and Ye Qiu's introduction of Nesta was also due to the team's data needs, so he finally came forward personally and invited Nesta to play for Tottenham Hotspur, plus his best friend Pirlo persuaded from the side, Nesta finally decided to try Tottenham Hotspur.

For the 36-year-old Nesta, this is already a semi-retired state, so he seems to be more desireless, and he has no requirements for salary and contract period. Turnham Hotspur learn how to transform into an excellent manager.

After Ye Qiu went downstairs, he found that Roland had led the two of them out of the locker room and headed to the practice room next door, so he also went straight to the practice room.

As soon as he arrived at the door, he heard the noise made by the machine starting inside. After walking in, Ye Qiu found that Drogba was in one of the practice rooms to experience some of this long-known machine, but he had never tried it. The new gadget, the Ivorian took off his clothes, revealing a body of strong muscles.

Although he is old, this kid has maintained a good physical fitness, and Drogba has no longer just relied on his body for food in recent years. His consciousness and skills at his feet are also quite good, which can be regarded as a very successful transformation. name center.

In the past, many fans thought that Drogba's skills were rough. This is a wrong perception, because those who can become professional players have quite good skills. The key is whether there is any training in this aspect. Practice makes perfect. truth.

In the practice room, Drogba catches the ball with one kick and delivers the ball with the other. His running speed is above average, the speed of taking the ball out is fast, and he is very stable.

Ye Qiu couldn't help but nod his head while watching from the outside. Many people just didn't realize that the timing of the transformation was wrong, or they didn't realize that they should make the transformation. As a result, at the end of his career, his overall level also declined rapidly.

On the surface, Drogba looks like a thick and thick guy, but in fact he is very careful and smart. He grasped the timing of the transformation well, and he has a strong learning ability, so the transformation was very successful.

Ye Qiu believed that he would definitely be able to become an important member of the team's striker in the new season.
