The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 534 Super Black Shop
Left back, this is a position that almost all giants feel embarrassed about.

Leaving aside the fact that the left foot will be hard to find, good left-footed defenders have always been a rare commodity in football, and have always been a headache for transfers. Looking at today's football, the top left-backs are almost all cake.

Ashley Cole, Ram, Abidal, Vargas, Evra, etc., if these players really want to transfer, any one of them will be transferred at a sky-high price. The reason is very simple. The high price of 500 20 million euros introduced a [-]-year-old left-back Ali? Sissoko from Porto.

Just imagine, if even the big black shops in Europe have to introduce left-backs at such a high price, then one can imagine how scarce left-backs are in the current football world.

Tottenham Hotspur's left-back is not without candidates. As an offensive left-back, Marcelo is still very good. His attack on the left and Ribery and Gareth? He has won recognition, but his defense is a major hidden danger. At least he can't be as reassuring as Alves.

Therefore, Ye Qiu's intention is also very clear. While further refining and helping Marcelo grow and improve, introducing a suitable left back is not only to strengthen the team's strength, but more importantly, to stimulate Marcelo. Luo, don't let this Brazilian left-back take it easy and think that he has a certain chance of winning the main position.

"Here's the scouting report for your proposed roster!"

In Theobald's training base, Ye Qiu, who had just brought back his wife and two children from China, officially ended his vacation and came to the team ahead of schedule to prepare for the new season. His first The first thing is signings.

Peter Dewissel submitted a list of players in accordance with Ye Qiu's request, and Ye Qiu selected several players, such as Taiwo who played for Marseille, this player was the bronze medalist of the former World Youth Championship. The ball award is considered to be the same as Messi and Mikel. At that time, Messi scored the goal, Mikel won the silver ball, and Taiwo won the bronze ball.

There are also several other players, like Ajax's Vermaelen, he is called the new Kivu, who can play in the middle and left, and is a versatile defender. There is also a new Kivu in Lazio. In the team, there is the Romanian player Stefan Radu, who is also a player who can center and left.

In addition, there is Lazio's left back Alexander Kolarov, a Serbian player, Lazio's main left back, currently in the competition within the team, suppressing Stefan Radu, and he and Stefan ? Radu's characteristics are different. Romania's young players are better defensively and very stable, while Kolarov is stronger offensively.

"Lazio's transfer price for Kolarov is 500 million euros!" Peter Dewissel was reporting the latest progress of the scouting department to Ye Qiu, "I personally think it's a bit high, especially Considering the improvement that Kolarov can bring to the team, I don't think it is very cost-effective."

Peter Dewissel was very clear about Ye Qiu's position on Tottenham Hotspur's transfer, that is to stick to the black shop policy, buy low and sell high.

When Tottenham Hotspur does not have the objective conditions of Barcelona and Real Madrid, and does not want to become a team with unsustainable development like Manchester City, Chelsea, and West Ham United, the black shop strategy of buying low and selling high has become a reality. preferred.

That's why Ye Qiu still puts more effort into developing the team's scouting system even though he has a player database. It's not that he wasted money, but that he has to rely on scouts to find the most suitable players for the team.

"Where's Radu?" Ye Qiu asked casually.

The Romanian’s first impression on Ye Qiu was that he was handsome, really handsome, much more handsome than Chifu, and Ye Qiu had called Chifu and learned about Radu’s situation. He is very respected, but according to the scouts' understanding, Radu seems to be a central defender who only has defensive ability but no offensive ability on the left.

"Lazio bought out Radu last summer for 550 million euros. Not to mention that they are not willing to sell it now, even if they sell it, it is estimated that they will have to give a high price!" Peter DeVissel shook his head and laughed.

Unlike Ye Qiu's previous life, Bobby Harms did not die of illness, but continued to work at Ajax, and he was not optimistic about the prospect of Tottenham Hotspur wanting to introduce Vermaelen , the reason is very simple, he thinks that Vermaelen is not suitable for playing on the left, no matter in terms of personal wishes or technical characteristics.

For this reason, Bobby Harms also let Ye Qiu watch the Kirin Cup match held in Japan in early June this summer. Vermaelen played left back in the Belgian national team. As a result, Belgium lost 6:0 to Japan. Underfoot, Vermaelen's performance was as tragic as it was horrible.

"So..." Ye Qiu felt a little troubled.

Peter DeVissel smiled and motioned Ye Qiu to turn over the next few pages of the scouting report, "I think there is a local teenager in Southampton's youth training camp that deserves attention, and that is Luke Shaw, who just turned 14. He's a young man, he's got potential, he's called the new Gareth Bale, he's doing well in the youth teams, and he's a Londoner, born in Kingston upon Thames, near Chelsea's training base."

Ye Qiu couldn't help laughing after hearing this, "Peter, he's only 14 years old!"

"I know!" Peter Dewissel said with a smile, "A local rookie, as a future reserve, there is one more!"

Ye Qiu scrolled down and found that the next player was Phil Jones from Blackburn, but unlike the Phil Jones who played as a midfielder and central defender in Ye Qiu's previous life memory, he is now playing on the right side of the midfield .

"Phil Jones, a player from the Blackburn youth academy, is now playing as a traditional right midfielder. I have watched him play several games. His skills are relatively average among English players, but his physical fitness is very strong, and What attracted me was his fighting spirit, which reminded me of Steven Gerrard and Lampard."

"In my opinion, his most suitable position is in the middle. He can play a wide range of coverage. Whether he is a defensive midfielder or a central defender, he is very suitable. In terms of skills, he is only 17 years old, and he can continue to improve, can't he?"

"How much?" Ye Qiu was persuaded by De Vissel. He has always had the idea of ​​proper localization, so Tottenham Hotspur will also introduce some young players, such as Kyle Walker. There is Ramsey.

"Luke Shaw, we can talk to Southampton. The Saints are now relegated to League One, which is the third tier. I believe that it is not difficult to get rid of him. Maybe we only need to pay a sum of ten or twenty. The training fee of 20 pounds can be settled."

"Phil Jones hasn't played in the first team yet. The youth team is doing well. He is currently in the U19 youth team. But I believe the price should be within 100 million euros. If you agree, I will take care of it!"

Ye Qiu nodded. For such a small transfer, there was basically no need to use Peter Kenyon, and Peter DeVissel could handle it directly, because Peter Kenyon still devoted more energy to the big business. For example, the most important thing now is to negotiate two major sponsorship contracts.

"What about my left back, Peter?" Ye Qiu turned to the last scouting report, and he saw a name.

Fabio Coentrao!

"That's him!" said Peter Dewissel.

Ye Qiu's first reaction was to shake his head, "Isn't it easy to deal with this guy?"

"Why?" Strangely turned into Devisel.

"I'm a bit allergic to Portuguese players!" Ye Qiu said with a wry smile. His first reaction was to think of Mourinho, and then Jorge Mendes. The latter is the biggest manager in Portugal, and his Players have one characteristic, high price.

Tottenham Hotspur pursue cost performance, but Jorge Mendes' standard is high.

Hearing what Ye Qiu said, Peter Dewissel laughed immediately, and almost dropped his glasses, "He is worth about 200 million euros now, I think you can give it a try, he is in Ah The Weihe Club performed well after switching to left-back, and I think it can be introduced."

Fabio Coentrao is 21 years old this year. He debuted as a right midfielder behind the Ave River and was dubbed the title of Figo II. In fact, his technical characteristics are completely different from those of Figo, but he still caused a lot of trouble. The attention of the team was later bought by Benfica at a low price of 90 euros.

However, in Benfica, which is full of talents, Coentrao did not get many opportunities. Later, he was loaned to the Veshal Nationals and Zaragoza in La Liga, but failed to get opportunities in these two teams. He was loaned to his old club Avi River, and changed from left midfielder to left back. He performed well and scored three goals after half a season.

"His manager" Ye Qiu didn't like Jorge Mendes very much.

"A manager who is not well-known in Portugal, but I have a little friendship, so I was able to get information about Coentrao."

When Ye Qiu heard this, he understood that he was overthinking. After all, there are so many professional players in Portugal, especially many players from South America. No matter how extensive Mendes' business is, it is impossible to recruit all professional players. Under his command, he couldn't bear it at all, so he took the high-end route and only selected those players who performed well and eye-catching to sign.

Coentrao did not have anything worthy of recognition before. As for how many giants have attracted the attention, it is actually media hype. If there are really giants making a move, Benfica can get him at a super low price of 90 euros ?

Ye Qiu thought about it again. In fact, the introduction of Coentrao is not bad. The Portuguese has excellent offensive ability and not too bad defensive ability. More importantly, the price is cheap and affordable. The team doesn't suffer either.

"Then I'll leave it to you!" Ye Qiu nodded with a smile and agreed to Peter Dewissel's suggestion.

"wait for my good news!"

When the outside world keeps reporting that Tottenham Hotspur has been poached, especially after Gareth Bale and Arbeloa have transferred to Real Madrid, many media and fans are enthusiastic about Tottenham. Thorns are worried about signings for the new season.

But at this time, Tottenham Hotspur announced a transfer. The team introduced Fabio Coentrao from Benfica, Portugal with a transfer fee of 250 million euros. Half a season as a left back, scoring three goals in [-] games, the outstanding Portuguese left back is like a carp jumping over the dragon's gate, and directly joined the European overlord Tottenham Hotspur.

At the same time, the club also announced on its official website that the team has introduced local rookie Luke Shaw from Southampton, as well as Blackburn's young midfielder Phil Jones, including Luke Shaw who is only 14 years old. Will play for the youth team, while Phil Jones will play for the first team.

But soon, Liverpool announced that it had introduced Brazilian midfielder Lucas Leiva from Tottenham Hotspur at a price of 800 million euros. Benitez called the Brazilian midfielder Ha Via Alonso's successor, which somewhat makes up for the regret of missing Gareth Barry.

However, Benitez also introduced midfielder Aquilani from Roma. This transfer cost a total of nearly 400 million euros.

In the past few years in Tottenham Hotspur, Lucas has not been transformed into a midfielder like in his previous life, because Tottenham Hotspur's midfielder pays great attention to ball control and organization, so he basically remains This is also an important reason why Benitez values ​​him.

Compared with Tottenham Hotspur, which is full of talents, Lucas himself also hopes to get a chance in Liverpool. After all, Tottenham Hotspur's midfield competition is not fierce. Ya Toure and David Silva are the three main players. Beckham's state is still good, and the young player Ramsey is rising strongly, which makes Lucas feel the pressure. More importantly, He is 22 years old and desperately needs more games to improve his quality.

In this regard, Ye Qiu also gave support. He left a message on the official website, wishing Lucas a great future in Liverpool, and the Brazilian midfielder also expressed his respect for Tottenham Hotspur and Ye Qiu when he was interviewed by the media. Thanks.

"I hope to have the opportunity to return to Tottenham in the future and retire here!"

As the Confederations Cup came to an end, as the training date approached, the transfer market was also in full swing, the most notable of which was the news of Zlatan Ibrahimovic's transfer to Barcelona, ​​but the transfer However, there has been no further movement in the market for a long time, making everyone anxious.

But no one thought that the situation would turn around and Chelsea would be the first to rekindle the flames of war.

After the new head coach Ancelotti of the Blues came to power, he finally signed an important transfer for Chelsea, which filled an important shortcoming in Chelsea's defensive system, and was hailed by the media and fans as Ancelotti. The last contribution made by AC Milan was to poach the Brazilian goalkeeper Julio Cesar from Inter Milan.

This transfer cost Chelsea 800 million euros in total. Compared with the 260 million euros when Julio Cesar transferred to Inter Milan, his worth has skyrocketed ten times. With this transfer, he was successfully selected as the second place in the world goalkeeper transfer record, second only to Buffon.

The sky-high price created by Buffon's transfer from Parma to Juventus is almost difficult to break in today's football. Although there were rumors in the media before, Manchester City intends to pay 7000 million for Tottenham's goalkeeper Peter Cech. Euro transfer fee, but Tottenham Hotspur officials immediately denied it, stating that Cech is not for sale.

Today's Peter Cech is the number one in the world in terms of momentum. His performance last season allowed Tottenham Hotspur to successfully win the Champions League and the Premier League double crown, which is also the performance of last season. The best goalkeeper, selling him is undoubtedly a self-defeating move for Tottenham Hotspur, after all, there is no suitable goalkeeper at all.

For the time being, Joe Hart is fine as a substitute, but Ye Qiu and the players are not very relieved to really help him to the top.

But just after Cesar moved to Chelsea, on the second day, Barcelona officially published the news that Tottenham Hotspur's main striker Robin van Persie transferred to Barcelona at a sky-high price of 7000 million euros that surpassed Kaka. He caught up with Cristiano Ronaldo in terms of value, which surprised the whole world.

The Guardian reporter Sean Ingle, who is familiar with the inside story of the transfer, published an exclusive report at the first time, clarifying that this was a forced move by Tottenham Hotspur, because Cruyff personally He came forward to get Van Persie done, and although Tottenham Hotspur refused to let go, they finally nodded and agreed to Barcelona's transfer offer of 7000 million euros.

This also made everyone aware of the madness in the transfer market, especially Van Persie, the Dutch striker who has performed at a super high level in Tottenham Hotspur for two consecutive seasons, switched to Barcelona at such an astonishingly sky-high price, It is indeed unexpected, because with such a high transfer fee, Ibrahimovic can be introduced.

But soon, Mundo Deportivo reported a response from a high-level inside Barcelona, ​​mainly because both Cruyff and Guardiola felt that after Ibrahimovic entered Barcelona, ​​the entire offensive system of the team must Make changes, and relatively speaking, Van Persie's integration with the team will be better.

Cruyff also publicly supported the introduction of Van Persie in his column, "Barcelona should never be reduced to a star team, he should belong to all players!"

This is also seen as the reason why Barcelona finally chose Van Persie. Although Van Persie is a bit far from the definition of Guardiola's top high center, Cruyff came forward, and Laporta also supported the introduction of Van Persie, which finally led to this. A sky-high transfer.

Although they were poached tragically, Tottenham Hotspur once again won the title of black shop by virtue of continuous sky-high transfers.

It's not just a black shop, it's a super black shop!
You know, this summer Tottenham Hotspur sold four players, Gareth Bale, Arbeloa, Lucas and Van Persie, but got 500 million, 2000 million and 800 million respectively. Wanhe earned four transfer fees of 7000 million euros, with a total of 300 million euros. This is definitely another transfer fee income that is shocking.

But more importantly, after selling four players, Tottenham Hotspur have introduced players at very affordable prices, including Coentrao, Phil Jones, Luke Shaw, and Ye Qiu in After announcing the sale of Van Persie, he announced the introduction of Romedal Falcao from Ajax.

With such a huge transfer fee, but the introduction of players only cost less than 1000 million, this makes everyone worried about Tottenham Hotspur's new season.

But everyone still dare not deny that Tottenham Hotspur is still one of the most powerful contenders for the Premier League and the Champions League in the new season.

Ye Qiu also announced that after the team introduced Falcao, whose ownership had long been in his hands, the transfer curtain for this season was closed, and the team will focus on preparing for the new season!
