The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 690
"I never thought Balotelli was a good professional and I don't think, at least with what he's doing so far, I don't think he's trying to be a good professional, he seems I prefer to be an entertainment star that many journalists like, rather than a professional player!"

In the post-match press conference, Ye Qiu directly criticized Balotelli's stampede on Vidal during the game. He believed that this had exceeded his bottom line on the so-called petty and dirty moves of professional players.

"Any player, as long as he has a little professional ethics, he should be very clear that he should not take that kind of extremely bad stampede when he is already on his feet. What does he want to do? Stepping on my player's neck? Or, does he want to murder him outright?"

Facing Ye Qiu's questioning, a group of reporters below were very excited. They didn't seem to care at all about what happened. They were more excited about the new topic they just found. This will definitely make the fans go crazy dropped.

Ye Qiu sued Balotelli with blood and tears, is there any news more gimmicky than this?

If it was Ferguson, Wenger, or Mourinho, maybe they would refute Ye Qiu and defend their players, even if they thought their players were unreasonable or even thought their actions were too bad, they would defend them. Even if it was only symbolic, Mancini did not do so.

This is what Ye Qiu is most sure of about him, at least he is not indiscriminate.

"We're not going to let it go. We're going to file a complaint with the FA and ask them to look into it. It's not the first time he's done it. I think he should pay for what he did. , At the same time, he should also learn how to be a professional player, not an entertainer who won't attract newspaper attention!"

What Ye Qiu said was not only an accusation against Balotelli, it even affected reporters and the media.

"Mr. Ye Qiu, do you think that we connive and encourage Balotelli's behavior?" One of the reporters stood up, and he seemed dissatisfied with Ye Qiu's remarks.

"The Independent?" Ye Qiu noticed the reporter's badge. This is where fans of Tottenham Hotspur's rival Arsenal gather. It is said that the tradition of the Independent's recruitment of reporters is that non-Arsenal fans refuse interviews.

"Yes, Mr. Ye Qiu!" The reporter in his thirties was very polite, but his tone was firm.

Ye Qiu nodded and smiled, "I remember, you once wrote a report, Superman Mario, if I remember correctly, this is the headline on the front page, in the report you praised him as a hero, thinking that the reason why he can He is arrogant and domineering on the court because of his flamboyant personality, and this personality has led to constant disputes on and off the court, and you even think that he has superhuman talents that others do not have, and that he will become a top superstar."

The reporter nodded and smiled after hearing this: "Yes, I didn't expect that Mr. Ye Qiu is also our reader!"

Ye Qiu didn't continue to dwell on this issue. He read all the newspapers, including the Independent, "Then I want to ask, what do you think is required to become a top superstar? Or, can any of you tell me why he can become a superstar?" A top superstar?"

After a slight pause, Ye Qiu shook his head with a sneer, "I never deny that Balotelli has an impressive talent, but he is squandering this talent. You think he can become a top superstar because you think Now he has the news value you need to extract from him."

"But if tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, you find out that he has no such value, what will you do? You will leave him and abandon him. Isn't this what you always do?" Ye Qiu said almost sarcastically. Ask rhetorically, "Aren't you guys the best at elevating a player and then kicking him to hell yourself?"

"I know what you are going to say, you are just telling me that there are many, many people who see Balotelli as a genius, as a hopeful star, but don't be stupid, the way you play I am very clear, do you think that those so-called celebrities, those so-called marshals, every word they say comes from the heart?"

This is a well-known thing in the entire football field, including players, including professional coaches and club management. When they face the media, the first principle is to say the most appropriate words, or say something speech that can achieve what you want.

When you face a reporter's question and ask you to comment on Balotelli, who has no reason for you, will you say good things or bad things?

In the past when Ye Qiu was in China, many people would say that foreigners speak very directly and don't know how to be euphemistic, that's nonsense.

The world is full of sophistication everywhere, including the football circle!

And everyone has to consider a question, you belittle or say something bad about Balotelli for no reason, you don’t even need bad words, you just need to tell the truth, will you mean what will appear in the newspaper tomorrow?You'll just end up offending one more person for no reason, that's all.

Therefore, in the current professional football circle, don't look at what someone says, but look at what he does.

"In my eyes, Balotelli has never been a good professional footballer, although he has the legs and body of a professional player, but he lacks the heart and mind of a professional player, he lacks some The most fundamental quality of a professional player, even he doesn't even know what he is doing."

"Or, you can go home and watch the video, see the blood on Vidal's neck, and then tell me that's what a professional player should do?"

Ye Qiu's questioning was not unreasonable. Howard Webb told Ye Qiu when he was communicating with Ye Qiu at the end of the halftime game. He really didn't see it at that time. Otherwise, Balotelli would be punished. Mancini was there at the time, so the latter replaced Balotelli not long after the second half.

"We're not going to let this matter go, I think someone should tell that ignorant, 21-year-old so-called kid that he should play football more like a professional player instead of just thinking about it all day long. How to be grandstanding and waste his talent, otherwise, he will definitely regret what he did in the future!"

After speaking, Ye Qiu looked at Mancini again, shook his head, and left the press conference early.

In fact, looking at the turmoil caused by Balotelli joining Manchester City, is it really just Balotelli and the agent behind him who are operating?If it's just players and agents, why do they dare to disclose so many internal details of the team?For example, Mancini helped him put on his training clothes, and made a lot of jokes?
To put it bluntly, this is a kind of marketing. Not only Balotelli's agent wants to market his own players, but also Manchester City is marketing his own team and building the Manchester City brand, and Balotelli's appearance has undoubtedly become Manchester City. The life-saving straw of brand marketing.

There is a saying from our ancestors that good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles.

Balotelli himself is a troublemaker. This was already the case at Inter Milan, but Mourinho's control and discipline over him are still in place, and his progress is quite obvious, but after coming to Manchester City , The club has tasted the sweetness from his series of behaviors. They began to realize that they don't need to win, they don't need to win the championship, they just need Balotelli to do something funny, and they can get huge media attention.

If others don't know, how can Ye Qiu not know?
On YOUTUBE, Manchester City's official video hits more than 2000 million, although it is not as high as Tottenham Hotspur, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Manchester United, but it is already quite high, but the number of people who follow their website is only [-] However, most of the clicks are created through link sharing, and the most popular search is Balotelli.

This is a conscious marketing tactic, and it cannot be done by an agent or player.

Perhaps, for Manchester City, this kind of marketing has benefited them a lot, but they forget one thing, which is also promoting Balotelli's stubborn style, and at the same time destroying an ignorant man who has the talent to become a top player young people.

The 21-year-old Balotelli can still do this, and in another three to five years, can he continue to do this?

Think about the tragedy of Cassano back then!

…………

Regarding Tottenham Hotspur's complaint against Balotelli, the FA said in an interview after the game that Howard Webb stated in the report submitted that he did not see this scene, and if he saw it, He will send Balotelli off the field without hesitation.

So the FA said it would file charges against Balotelli for his violent behavior. If Manchester City decides not to appeal, Balotelli will face a four-match ban, which will include a League Cup semi-final second leg Contest.

Regarding the FA's statement, Balotelli's agent Mino Raiola protested, "The FA should protect Mario, otherwise, he may consider leaving the England game!"

Maybe he felt that such remarks were a bit threatening, so Raiola said again: "Mario should not be suspended for four games, because it was not an intentional foul. He told me that he didn't want to hurt anyone. He didn't Seeing Vidal, the so-called stampede on the pitch is nonsense!"

In addition, Raiola also accused Ye Qiu in an interview, "We all know that Ye Qiu is an important head coach in today's professional football. What he said at the meeting made me think he had ulterior motives, and I even thought he was using the media to suppress young players!"

If it was just the first part, Ye Qiu would definitely not respond, but Raiola said that Ye Qiu suppressed young players, which made Ye Qiu unacceptable, and he immediately responded.

"Balotelli's stampede is very clear, anyone can see it, if I'm lying, everyone knows, I don't know if he intends it, I don't know if he saw Vidal, but he is in my player There are shoe spikes on the neck, maybe this is nothing in the eyes of Raiola, because he will turn a blind eye to the shoe spikes and even think I forged them!"

For some of Raiola's remarks, Ye Qiu thinks that they have gone beyond the scope of a professional agent.

"I don't understand what he means by saying that the FA wants to protect Mario. I want to tell him and tell Balotelli that the FA is not run by your family, and the Premier League will not spin around for you alone. , even the earth will not stop turning because of you, although I am not qualified to speak, but I believe that any mature football club will not accept such threats from player agents."

"The last thing I want to say is that I admire Roy Keane very much, because he dares to do and admit, although I don't agree with his behavior, but I admire his courage to admit, and Balotelli let himself Some of the remarks made by his agent to clarify, in my opinion, this is more like a coward trying to cover up his absurdity!"

Mino Raiola obviously entangled Ye Qiu, and soon made a public response in the media, thinking that Ye Qiu was making a fuss, because Balotelli is Manchester City's most threatening player, and Manchester City will be next on the road to winning the championship. The most competitive number one killer, so Ye Qiu wanted to use an excuse to attack Balotelli.

For such remarks, Ye Qiu stated on the official website that he would not respond.

But Tottenham Hotspur officially responded, defending their head coach, and said in a very bold tone that, with or without Balotelli, Tottenham Hotspur have strong enough confidence to win the championship , Raiola's remarks make people feel more like a persecuted paranoid patient.

Andy Gray, a well-known commentator of Premier League Sky TV, also said that he was at the scene. He believed that Balotelli's malicious stampede was indeed a very bad behavior, and he should pay the price, while Ye Qiu's remarks reflected more Expressed his regret and regret for Balotelli squandering his talent.

Alan Hansen, the host of BBC TV's daily matches, also repeatedly played the stampede scene in his own program. It is indeed very clear, and the Liverpool star is standing next to Ye Qiu this time. He thinks that Raiola's remarks It's too arrogant, it's too self-righteous to imagine that the FA will compromise with Balotelli.

"Just like his players, he is arrogant and arrogant, which limits Balotelli's further growth!"

"Actually, if you think about Ye Qiu carefully, it's not difficult to find that Ye Qiu is not just bombarding Balotelli's stampede, but more accusing the media of conniving Balotelli, because he feels that such connivance Disorienting the players, and now it is clear to me that Balotelli is not only lost because of the media, but also because he has a megalomaniac agent!"

The Times columnist Martin Samuel even appealed in the column that the FA should publicly state that if Balotelli thinks he is not protected by privileges and wants to leave the Premier League because of this, everyone should punish him. say please!

Not only some reporters and media close to Ye Qiu, but even Ferguson, Wenger, Benitez and others said in interviews that the biggest obstacle for Balotelli to become a top player lies in his arrogant personality, and He didn't seem to think about the behavior to correct at all.

Even Raiola's agent, Newcastle's top star Zlatan Ibrahimovic, did not support his agent and Balotelli, who belonged to the same agent company, but defended his former mentor.

"I still remember that Mr. Ye Qiu told me when he was at Ajax that in order to become a top star, it is not enough just to have a strong body and skilled skills. You must also have a mature and powerful heart." At the same time, you must concentrate on the game and training, which is the basic quality of a professional player."

"I absolutely don't believe that Mr. Ye Qiu will suppress young players. On the contrary, I know that he has a strong desire to train young players, just like he promoted so many young players in Ajax. He just I am reminding Balotelli not to squander his talent, but this well-intentioned reminder has been misinterpreted by some people!"

Maybe it was because they realized that things were getting bigger and bigger, especially Balotelli's agent Mino Raiola, who was a bit of a no-nonsense agent. Manchester City was very aware of Ye Qiu's influence and connections in the current football world. The relationship between Tottenham Hotspur is also quite good, and Mubarak was personally instructed by Mansour to improve the relationship with Ye Qiu.

So after the incident, Manchester City publicly stated that it would not appeal this matter and accept the punishment of the FA.

At the same time, the Manchester City Evening News also published a piece of news that Manchester City has exerted pressure on Balotelli, asking him to stop his agent from continuing to mess around like this, and even replace his agent if necessary.

Manchester City's head coach Mancini publicly stated that Manchester City will not be anyone's team, he belongs to all Manchester City players, and Manchester City will not change their philosophy because of anyone's departure.

It was during this turmoil that in the fourth round of the FA Cup, Tottenham Hotspur beat Watford 1-0 with Hazard's goal away and successfully advanced to the next round.

In the middle of the week, the Premier League ushered in the No.20 three rounds. With Messi's brace, Ramsey and Franck Ribery's goals at home, Tottenham Hotspur defeated 4-0 at home. Wigan Athletic, to further extend their unbeaten record.

So far, Tottenham Hotspur's unbeaten record has extended to 73 games.

But three days later, when Tottenham Hotspur visited Anfield, they encountered a powerful sniper from Benitez's team. After nine and 10 minutes of fierce fighting, Tottenham Hotspur finally failed Being able to take away a victory from the away game, the two sides finally drew 0:0.

As a result, Tottenham Hotspur had an unbeaten record of 24 wins and 2 draws in the 57 rounds of the Premier League, ahead of No.55 Manchester City with [-] points, while Liverpool ranked third and won [-] points.

But after experiencing three key battles between West Ham United, Manchester City and Liverpool in a row, Tottenham Hotspur soon ushered in the Magpies Newcastle in the No. 20 Premier League five rounds.

The Magpies under the command of Ibrahimovic drew Tottenham Hotspur 2:2 at home in the first half. Redknapp's team seized the weakness of Tottenham Hotspur. And exposing it is regarded as the most worthy game against Tottenham Hotspur this season for other teams and managers.

Therefore, many people are looking forward to whether Redknapp can go further in this battle!
