The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 762 Legality

Entering April, it's time for the monthly meeting again.

But this time the regular meeting was a bit different, because Ye Qiu called all the heads of Tottenham Hotspur's administrative department to Theobald, and asked the senior management of the athletic department and the administrative department to sit together for a meeting, which also meant that Adding to the unusualness of this meeting, everyone smelled something special.

According to the practice of the monthly regular meeting, it is better to summarize first, and under the instruction of Ye Qiu, the chief operating officer Ron Gurley first reported the team's operating situation and financial situation last month, among which Ye Qiu focused on He was asked to give a detailed introduction to the construction progress of Stratford Stadium.

The renovation project of this stadium has been carried out for six months. At present, the main project has been basically completed. The next step is to decorate and arrange the facilities. The construction period is even earlier than originally expected. I have to say that the team from China This time, the construction team is in the limelight.

The construction period is shorter than others, the cost is cheaper than others, and the quality is better than others, it is simply impeccable.

Of course, the construction can be so smooth, but also benefit from another reason, that is Tottenham Hotspur's abundant funds.

"I was joking with Peter just now, if we can reach the Champions League final, maybe we can arrange some member fans to go to Stratford Stadium, and use our huge LED TV screen to broadcast the Champions League final live, so that they can feel it. Feel the shock and atmosphere!"

Ron Gurley's proposal was supported by many people present. This proposal is good, a very good warm-up suggestion, and it is much more interesting than inviting a strong team to play a warm-up match before next season.

"Wait until we reach the finals, and wait until the new stadium is settled!" Ye Qiu also stopped this topic with a smile.

He has little interest in this kind of topic based on two or even more hypothetical conditions.

Following Ron Gurley, Mauro Tassotti, as the top executive of the sports department, also summarized the performance of the team last month, mainly focusing on the Premier League and the Champions League. The current situation of the Premier League is still Very unclear, although Tottenham Hotspur have a five-point advantage, they still cannot relax.

As for the Champions League, after reaching the quarterfinals, they met Real Madrid, which is also a very difficult team.

There is another point that Mauro Tassotti specifically put forward, that is, the team should be careful of a feeling of paralysis and underestimation of the enemy, especially when the team is performing well in the Premier League, this kind of emotion needs to be more vigilant.

Then Rick Link said a few words as the director of the youth training department, and briefly introduced the situation of the youth training.

This season Tottenham Hotspur's youth team participated in the European Youth Champions League and performed well. They have also reached the quarter-finals. The style of this team has also continued Tottenham Hotspur's overall rich creation Inheriting the strong offensive football concept, many young players who have emerged in the team, such as Januzaj, are actually familiar to fans. He has played many times in the cup.

But one thing worth mentioning is that this Tottenham Hotspur youth team has a very open style of play, but it is not very consistent with the current first team. They are more inclined to delicate skills and creativity. It makes their game very good-looking, and every game attracts countless fans to Theobald to watch the game.

It has even been said that Tottenham's youth team is more popular than the first team.

This is also an interesting phenomenon in the European Youth Champions League, which pays more attention to technology and free play, and is more inclined to open confrontational battles, so games with big scores abound, and this event has also received more attention from fans and the media. focus on.

Mauro Tassotti is currently the head coach of this youth team, and his coaching has also been affirmed by many fans.

After all the high-level executives finished speaking, Ye Qiu expressed that he had something to say, so the conference hall of Theobald's first-team training building became silent, and more than 20 Tottenham Hotspur high-level officials fell silent. .

"As I mentioned to everyone before, if there are no accidents, next season will be my last season in charge, so there are many things, a lot of work, and we need to prepare in advance!"

Ye Qiu's opening remarks did not bring more sentimentality and parting. Although he no longer serves as the team's head coach, he is still the team's chairman and owner, and he is still the sole owner of Tottenham Hotspur , he still works and works hard with everyone present, but he no longer holds the front-line job.

Everyone present basically knew about this decision and accepted it.

"First of all, it's about successors!" Ye Qiu sat on the chair. He didn't need to make drafts. With many of his colleagues who had worked with him for six or seven years, he didn't need to be polite enough to make drafts, even if he made a mistake. It doesn't matter if you talk, just wipe it off and talk again.

"Mauro will undoubtedly become the next head coach of Tottenham Hotspur. This point has been recognized and supported by the athletic department, administrative department and most people. We have to have that level of consensus within us.”

Ye Qiu's words got nods from everyone present. Tottenham Hotspur is a professionally managed football club, and they won't do things that are casual and impromptu. The selection of Mauro Tassotti is based on many factors. Considerations made from various aspects, such as from the professional field of football, as well as from the feedback of fans, and even from a commercial point of view.

As a great professional player, Mauro Tassotti served as an assistant coach in AC Milan for a long time, and became famous after he came to Tottenham Hotspur. Everyone knows that Tottenham Hotspur's current set of tactics In the system, he has made great contributions. After Ye Qiu stepped down, it would be ideal for him to step up.

"Here, I must emphasize that fans are often easily deceived and deceived, but our management must remain calm and rational, and objectively look at possible problems."

After a pause, Ye Qiu smiled, "It's like Barcelona, ​​switching from Guardiola to Vilanova. From a professional point of view, is there any problem? There is no problem. Guardiola is worse, but why is Barcelona's competitiveness declining? Why do Barcelona's players give people a completely different situation from Guardiola's time?"

"Also!" This question is an important question that Ye Qiu wants to mention, and it is also an important question that will arise after the succession of the head coach of all top teams, "Let's look at Manchester United again. I dare say that once Ferguson retires , Manchester United will experience huge turmoil, and the deeper Ferguson's influence on Manchester United, the greater the turmoil!"

"Liverpool swept England and Europe in the 80s. After two huge tragedies, neither of them affected the team's dominance in England. But why did the Red Army Empire fail after Souness, the former Liverpool great star, came to power? Collapsed overnight?"

Listening to Ye Qiu's words, many people present were thinking about this issue, and Ye Qiu had also discussed this issue with Ferguson and many famous and veterans of European football, and Ye Qiu even discussed it with Dalglish Let's face this question, that is, why are Liverpool's previous successions so different from Souness's succession this time?
There is no doubt that the two tragedies have broken the cohesion of the Liverpool team, but the lineup left by Dalglish, including John Barnes, Ian Rush and others are all at the right time In [-], these players were all well-known top stars in Europe at the time. With them, coupled with Liverpool's status at the time, there should not be such turmoil.

Some people say that Souness is too radical. He desperately wants to change everything about Liverpool. He is ambitious and wants to make his mark on Liverpool, just like when he was a player. His ideas and changes The direction was right, but he was too anxious and reckless, and finally paid the most painful price.

If you look at the entire history of European football, Souness is definitely one of the most prodigal and cheating head coaches.

"Legitimacy, this is the problem that Barcelona's Vilanova, Manchester United's successor to Ferguson, and Souness encountered at the time. They lack the legitimacy to take over the coach!" Ye Qiu said what he wanted to say the key of.

The ruling party of a country needs legitimacy, and the head coach of a team also needs legitimacy.

It's as if Mourinho was questioned overwhelmingly when he entered the Stamford Bridge Stadium for the first time. Fans and the media all criticized his every move with colored glasses, and magnified his mistakes countless times. He made accusations, but this time he entered the palace for the second time, the controversy he encountered was much smaller, and the reason was legality.

Ye Qiu just resigned, the management couldn't wait to announce Mourinho's appointment, and all the fans quit, because Ye Qiu did a great job, causing the fans to support Ye Qiu too much, and began to question the management for forcing Ye Qiu to leave and choose Mu Rinho's decision, so Mourinho lacks the recognition of fans at this time, and thus lacks a kind of legitimacy.

Without that kind of legitimacy, no matter what you do, you won’t be liked by the fans. If you win, they think you should. Incompetent, the head coach should be responsible.

But the second entry is different. The previous head coaches did not do very well, but Mourinho did quite well in Inter Milan. Therefore, for many fans, Mourinho has won one The legitimacy of taking over Chelsea.

The same is true of Liverpool.

As John Barnes said, when Souness first came to power, the fans didn't like him and didn't accept him because Dalglish did a great job, and as a manager, Souness The ups and downs of the team must be shouldered, and because of his lack of legitimacy, the fans will only target Souness, not the players, in a loss.

So what are the consequences of doing so?
That is, there are many players who will not be blamed by the fans, the media and the management because of their poor performance, so they will start to relax and slack off. Anyway, no one will scold me if they perform poorly. What are you afraid of?
This is a kind of human nature, some decisions that a person will make subconsciously!
"What I want to say is that under such circumstances, the high or low level of a head coach's coaching has become unimportant. The important thing is that no matter what he does, he must be a loser!"

This is why Guardiola still rejected Ferguson in the end. The answer is simple. Even if he went to Manchester United, he would still fail in the end, because his predecessor was too brilliant, and he lacked the legitimacy to succeed him. .

"The same thing, the same change of leadership, there are many, many cases around the world, with successes and failures, but what I want to say today is that we must succeed, because once we fail, what we have worked hard in the past few years Everything we have worked so hard to build will come to naught and we will have to start all over again!"

Ye Qiu's words were a wake-up call to everyone present. It should be said that it would not be a good job for anyone to pick up Ye Qiu's shift. On the contrary, it must be a hard job. If Tottenham Hotspur's The management didn't realize this, and blindly placed too high and blind expectations on Ye Qiu's successor, which would only lead to failure in the end.

Mauro Tassotti was sitting next to Ye Qiu. He was now the number one in the athletic department, second only to Ye Qiu, and he never thought that Ye Qiu would give him such thorough consideration. Not just for him, but also for Tottenham Hotspur, but these in themselves are enough to move Mauro Tassotti.

He has to admit that football clubs are far from reaching the level of professionalism of those big companies in many management transitions. They even lack patience and lack the willingness to think deeply and analyze problems in many cases. For many For the managers of football clubs, the head coach is like a socket.

Try it, use it if you can insert a goal, and replace it if you can't. It's very simple and convenient.

But obviously, Ye Qiu's way of thinking about problems is not like this. He will analyze and look at problems more comprehensively, professionally, and in depth, and even try to solve them.

Ferguson has recently begun to proudly say that he has left a team with rich experience in winning championships for his successor. He believes that after the successor comes up, he can only strengthen parts of the team in the shortest possible time. The champion launched an attack, which can minimize the pain caused by the transfer of power.

But the problems Ferguson saw were only on the surface. He only saw the team's lineup, but he didn't see the hearts of the people.

He stands on the edge of Old Trafford, everything he does, even if it is wrong, the fans will not blame him, but will blame the players who performed poorly, but if another Head coach, they need to prove themselves again in front of Manchester United fans, and everything they do, even if it is right, but the players mess up, the fans will blame the head coach for problems, otherwise why Ferguson did what he did.

This kind of pain can be short or long, but no matter what, the impact on the team is fatal enough.

So now Ye Qiu not only wants to create the most relaxed environment for Mauro Tassotti's succession in terms of the team's lineup structure, but also to give Mauro Tassotti the best in other aspects, including people's hearts. environment of.

"Robert!" Ye Qiu looked at the news director Robert Milson, one of the three giants of Tottenham Hotspur, and nodded after hearing Ye Qiu's shout, "Start from the next season." , all the head coach's activities, including the pre-match and post-match press conferences, are all in charge of Mauro!"

"Received!" Robert Milson raised his right hand, indicating that he understood, and then smiled at Mauro Tassotti, indicating that he didn't need to worry about it, it was no big deal.

"In addition, pay attention to guiding fans in news promotion and promotion, you should understand my meaning and request!"

Ye Qiu doesn't want to hear any doubts and doubts when Mauro Tassotti takes over a year later, but he should not exaggerate too much, but should look at some problems objectively and guide the fans Go support Mauro Tassotti.

"Understood!" Robert Milson nodded with a smile.

The current Tottenham Hotspur has very strong news and public relations capabilities, because they have established very good cooperative relations with many British and European newspapers, so as long as Tottenham Hotspur gives Mauro Tassotti Support, in terms of media, there will be no big problems.

Of course, if the team's results are too bad, that's another matter.

But judging from the current lineup of Tottenham Hotspur, the team's performance is too bad, basically excluding the player's strength, it must be a problem with the player's mental state, so this aspect needs to be prepared for a rainy day.

For example, in the past period of time, Ye Qiu handed over the weekly communication with players to Mauro Tassotti. This is a gradual handover method, and because of this, the outside world is more and more caught A strong signal for Mauro Tassotti's succession.

"I'm sorry, Peter!" Ye Qiu looked at Peter Dewissel, who is the director of the scouting department, "After careful consideration, I decided to give up Fernandinho. He is too old and not suitable for him. us!"

De Vissel nodded, he was very clear about Ye Qiu and Mauro Tassotti's request.

"I want to reiterate that what we pay attention to and emphasize at Tottenham Hotspur is to forge ahead, not to stand still and follow the plan, because we must be very aware of the particularity of football, it is impossible for two Exactly the same players, so we can't stay the same."

"From the past to the present, we have changed almost every year. Sometimes we have made drastic changes, and sometimes we have improved and repaired the details, because we know very well that as long as we stop, the opponent will immediately change. able to restrain us."

"Back then, we used to press and press in the frontcourt and play high defense. How long has it been since then? As long as the strong teams in Europe are playing this way, it's rotten. Is it still new?"

Therefore, for Ye Qiu, Mauro Tassotti and the technical staff of Tottenham Hotspur, the next focus is not to find a second Pirlo to take over, because there cannot be a second Pirlo in this world. Exactly the same Pirlo.

Including Nick Powell, who was on loan at Southampton from Tottenham Hotspur, he has already begun to deteriorate.
