The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 751 The Difficult Young Man
Knock~knock~knock~
The sound of knocking on the door made Ye Qiu, who was sitting in front of the computer chatting on QQ with a pair of sons and daughters far away in Xiamen, raised his head, shouted, "Please come in!", and then posed for the daughter and son in the computer camera. Grimace, turned off after saying goodbye.

Entering is Phil Jones, a 20-year-old native England teenager who has been very eye-catching in the past period of time.

"Phil, sit down!" Ye Qiu pointed to the chair opposite his desk and said with a smile.

"Thank you, boss!" Phil Jones walked over after closing the door, opened the chair in front of the desk and sat down, but he didn't dare to lean back like Ye Qiu. What does it mean that Qiu came to him?

Just after the training session in the morning, Roland Schepas announced the coaching staff's punishment for Pogba. The French teenager was suspended for two games by the coaching staff because of his absence from the training session in the morning. Afterwards, Ye Qiu made an appointment with Phil Jones in the afternoon, which made the Englishman a little uneasy.

Is it also because of the League Cup?

"Phil, how are you feeling recently?" Ye Qiu asked with a smile, showing no signs of reckoning after Qiu.

"Very good, head. I have played several games in a row. I think I have gained a lot!" Phil Jones smiled a little forcedly, but his tone was very sincere, because he was in the game against Stoke City. After playing, he scored twice.

Sometimes when he thinks about it, he himself can't believe it, and he doesn't understand why he scored like that.

It felt as if he didn't score the goal by himself, but the ball bounced into the goal by itself. All in all, until now, he still couldn't figure out why he was able to score the goal, and Mauro Tasso Dee told him that when he figured it out, it would be a career leap.

Some people have no way to understand it all their lives, they spend their whole lives playing football in a daze, one good game and one bad game, but some people are born to understand, so they seem very stable, very mature, and their careers are stable Climbing uphill, the progress is obvious.

"Consecutive appearances are very important for young people, even if they come off the bench. To be honest, I am very satisfied with your performance in the recent period. Great performance, both offensively and defensively!"

After hearing this, Phil Jones let go of his smile for the first time, because he knew that Ye Qiu meant what he said, "Thank you head!"

I still remember that when Phil Jones first came to Tottenham Hotspur, his technique was not good, and his ability to pass and catch the ball was not strong. At that time, he seemed more than brave, but not delicate enough, a bit like Zhang Fei, rushing around, sometimes messing up his team's formation, Phil Jones feels embarrassed every time he thinks about it.

But his training was very hard. He knew that he could not meet the requirements of Tottenham Hotspur except for the basic skills, so he practiced, crazily practiced, and made up his mind to practice it. As a result, his skills have improved now. Yes, the ability to touch the ball with one foot has increased, and even the ability to read the game on the court and the awareness of integrating into the team's offense and defense have also increased.

Originally, he was more inclined to play as a central defender, but Ye Qiu arranged him in the midfield. Even the midfielder did not play as a defensive midfielder, but as a central midfielder. Phil Jones himself had a conflict about this, and felt that Why do you play central midfielder yourself?

But the facts proved that Ye Qiu and the coaching staff were right in their positioning and selection of him.

Now he is becoming more and more proficient in playing as a central midfielder. Not only has his skills and awareness increased, but more importantly, he has begun to learn how to play the game, how to position himself on the court, and how to cooperate and respond to his teammates. He's getting better and better in midfield.

According to what Ye Qiu told him back then, as long as he plays in the central midfielder, he can retreat to the midfielder in the future, or even retreat to the central defender. In the central defender position, he is also a reckless man.

Looking back now, Phil Jones had to admit that Ye Qiu was right. He shaped himself very well, and helped him complete his career planning, making continuous progress.

"Phil, you know, the team has notified your agent, and we are going to talk to you about contract extension!"

Phil Jones nodded, "I heard my agent say yesterday, head, please rest assured, I hope to stay on the team!"

"Very well, this is also the purpose of my meeting with you today. I hope you can understand my thoughts and requirements for you!"

Phil Jones nodded, indicating that he was listening.

"Do you know? The reason why I chose you at the beginning was because I thought you were very malleable. You have an aura about you, the tenacious and unyielding aura that belongs to English players, and I was thinking, Skills, passing, and awareness can all be cultivated, but a person's character is very difficult, so I decided to introduce you!"

It didn't cost Tottenham Hotspur to get Phil Jones back then, but now, the England international is already the hottest new star in the UK. With his brilliant performance in Tottenham Hotspur, at least 2000 million euros is not worth running, but Tottenham Hotspur obviously do not intend to sell.

Not only Phil Jones, many young players in the team, Ye Qiu, do not plan to move, because this is a batch of treasures he left to Mauro Tassotti and his successors later, as long as there are this group of young players, The banner of Tottenham Hotspur will not fall, at least in the next ten years, relying on this group of people, Tottenham Hotspur can still sweep Europa.

"I'm very happy to see you have made it this far!" Ye Qiu smiled and affirmed Phil Jones' efforts and progress.

Phil Jones kept nodding, "I'm also very grateful to the head and the team."

Ye Qiu smiled, stood up from the office chair, and walked out of the desk area, "I have talked to the management this time, we plan to offer you a weekly salary of [-] pounds, and sign for five years, and there will be There are some clauses that guarantee that when you play a bigger role in the team in the future, the team will give you enough promotion in terms of salary and bonuses."

The contract extension was initiated by Tottenham Hotspur, otherwise Phil Jones' contract would have been long, and now Phil Jones' weekly salary is only [-] pounds, which has suddenly risen to [-] pounds, which is equivalent to double Doubled, which almost proves that Tottenham Hotspur value and affirm him.

Of course, if you want to compare with Messi's maximum weekly salary of 15 pounds, Phil Jones is still far behind, but the problem is that only Messi in the whole team reaches 15 pounds, and Ribery only has 14 pounds thousand pounds a week.

Tottenham Hotspur's salary structure is actually very clearly divided, everyone can clearly know their position, and once you perform well, or you continue to perform well for a period of time, the team will consider giving you a promotion The salary structure is like upgrading.

The two superstars Messi and Franck Ribery are undoubtedly the two superstars with the highest salaries. They are the number one stars in the team, with the highest salary and the highest commercial income, with an annual income of at least 3000 million euros.

The second tier of income is mainly for several core players of the team, such as Thiago Silva, Pirlo, Cavani, Petr Cech and others. Their salary is around [-] pounds a week, but every year They also have quite good commercial income, so the overall income level is considered high-income among professional players.

The third tier is the weekly salary from £[-] to £[-], currently including Ramsey, Vidal, Kompany, Kyle Walker, Marcelo, Hazard and Neymar, but if the If Musai, Vidal, Kompany and others renew their contracts, it is estimated that they will directly enter the second income level.

The fourth tier is some youth players and young rookies who have just joined the team. The income is generally between [-] and [-] pounds. These players have basically gained a foothold in the first team, but their salaries are relatively low, and their commercial income is also high. , but not high. On the contrary, if they are willing to work hard and the team performs well, the bonus will be more generous.

Of course, there is another grade, that is, some teenagers in the youth team and the reserve team. Their salaries are basically below [-] pounds, and the weekly salary of most hopeful stars is around [-] pounds.

Phil Jones originally belonged to the fourth tier, but now he has been promoted to the third tier. Once he continues his current outstanding performance and makes greater contributions to the team, then in the next two or three years, if he renews his contract, basically It is either the third tier of maximum salary or the second tier, these are all predictable.

"Thank you head!" Phil Jones nodded his thanks to Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu smiled, and he just walked up to Phil Jones. The Englishman wanted to stand up, but he motioned for him not to.

"Actually, I came to you today, and there is another thing, that is, I hope you can play more and better roles in the locker room, do you understand what I mean?"

The Tottenham Hotspur dressing room that Ye Qiu is in charge of has a characteristic, that is, everyone is equal, even young players who have just been promoted from the youth team are equal to superstars, no one is inferior to anyone else, No one is more noble than anyone else.

The result of all being equal is that no one player in the locker room is privileged.

However, there are as many as 25 people in the first team. If you add the players who play for the first team, there are often about 30 people. These people come from all over the world, have different religious beliefs, different living habits, different educational backgrounds, different Life goals, they live and play in the locker room where everyone is equal, and there will inevitably be some problems.

This requires the emergence of another type of player, that is, the lubricant of the locker room.

For example, Franck Ribery, the Frenchman's extrovert personality makes him very popular in the locker room, while Marcelo, Phil Jones and others are also very extroverted, which allows them to have more words in the locker room Right, for example Ribéry can decide what song should be sung on the team bus and everyone else always obeys.

This is a result that has evolved naturally over a long period of time, as if every time Ribery boarded the bus, he would shout, what song do you want to listen to today, most people would say, you decide, Then there is Ribery.

But Ribery has no privileges in the dressing room other than such a power.

Ye Qiu noticed a very interesting phenomenon. Phil Jones is very popular in the circle of young players. More and bigger effects.

"I understand, thank you, boss!" Phil Jones knew that this was also Ye Qiu's reliance on and cultivation of him.

You must know that the person who usually plays a huge role in the locker room is usually the captain of the team. For example, Ribery is one of the vice-captains of the team. This is a naturally formed concept. Ye Qiu let everyone People voted, he was elected, no one was surprised, not elected.

So Ye Qiu encouraged him so much because he wanted to focus on cultivating him.

"In the future, when you deal with the relationship with your teammates in the locker room, you should use a higher perspective to look at the problem. Every teammate has his own different past, different experiences, different beliefs, and different personalities. , you need to make yourself more tolerant, and know how to respect and forgive."

Holding grudges is a big taboo of a good manager. The reason is very simple. Holding grudges will make you have a preset position, then you will be biased when looking at problems, and it will be difficult to be fair and just when dealing with problems. This is the taboo of good managers.

"There are a lot of management books in our library, read more, it's helpful!" Ye Qiu patted Phil Jones on the shoulder and encouraged with a smile. He has always actively encouraged his players and the club's staff. Employees go for further education and self-improvement.

"I see, thank you head!" Phil Jones thanked again.

Ye Qiu smiled, "There's nothing else to do, go and rest!"

"Good!" Phil Jones stood up, turned and left.

After seeing off Phil Jones, Ye Qiu thought of another player, Pogba. This kid has a difficult personality. This time, I gave him a two-match suspension. I don't know if he can accept it?
But the question is, if Pogba is absent from the team's training session and the coaching staff doesn't give him a little color, wouldn't that be equivalent to giving him privileges?Who will be convinced in the locker room after that?
"Young people nowadays..." Ye Qiu thought of Sandro. This Brazilian is also difficult to deal with. His favorite thing is to play the guitar. It sounds good, so it doesn't matter, but the problem is that you play it too badly, if you play it again, will it kill you?
There are so many people on the team, each with their own different personalities and preferences. As a head coach, a large part of his energy is actually devoted to the management of the locker room. As long as the locker room is settled, the team Only by being able to perform at a stable level can we have combat effectiveness.

The annual Christmas Carnival is grandly held in Tottenham District.

With the renovation project of Stratford Stadium progressing smoothly, Tottenham Hotspur will go south to central London in half a year, and White Hart Lane will be transformed into an athletics stadium by then.

As a result, Tottenham Hotspur stunned everyone in this game and beat Sang Sang 7-1 away. Delan, Messi scored a hat-trick, and also had two exquisite assists, Tottenham Hotspur performed very eye-catching up and down.

This shocked everyone, because after the last big win over Stoke City, this round beat Sunderland again. Tottenham Hotspur's performance was full of surprises, especially scoring two rounds Fifteen goals, this attack power is amazing.

But just three days later, Tottenham Hotspur returned to their home court to usher in Reading, the favorite relegation team currently ranked second to last in the Premier League. : 5 victory over Reading, Drogba started the game, and had three assists, staged a hat-trick of assists, Reading's entire defense line has nothing to do with him.

Many people even held the bench, bought peanuts, and waited to see Lan How Bert's Aston Villa hit the still smoking muzzle of Tottenham Hotspur, you know, this team eliminated Tottenham Hotspur in the League Cup.

To use Ye Qiu's words, revenge must be revenged. Everyone firmly believed that as long as Tottenham Hotspur played well in this game, it would not be a big problem to get rid of Aston Villa in the away game.

But what is a little surprising is that after halftime, Tottenham Hotspur turned away and got 63% possession rate, but they still failed to break through Aston Villa's goal.

Is it true that, as Lambert said, Tottenham Hotspur's scoring status was exhausted in the first three rounds?
