The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 726 Go to a team that can beat you
Cruyff was gone, coming and going in a hurry, leaving only a clean coffee cup with a remnant of coffee foam on it, and Guardiola was staring at the coffee cup in a daze, because his mind floated He remembered what Ye Qiu had said to him that day.

Sometimes people are like this. They seem to understand when they listen to it face to face, but in retrospect, they seem to understand.

Until today, after Cruyff said so much, Guardiola felt that he really understood.

As Ye Qiu said that day, the system is very good, but the key to the problem is not the system, but how to introduce fresh blood to stimulate the team, prevent the team from losing enthusiasm, and regain the vitality of the past.

Fabregas talked to Guardiola on the first day of joining Barcelona. He said that he seemed to have lost something in Tottenham Hotspur. Like a task that has to be fulfilled instead of trying to win.

Fabregas also told Guardiola that he also raised this issue with Ye Qiu, and then Ye Qiu agreed to let him return to Barcelona. Even David Silva also decided to transfer to Real Madrid. At that time, Guardiola I just passed on a sentence of Cruyff's words, it is best not to stay in a team for more than four years.

Because not everyone can be as great as Ferguson!
Cruyff has a very high evaluation of Tottenham Hotspur. He believes that from the current point of view, at least in the next five years, it is basically impossible for anyone who wants to prevent Tottenham Hotspur from dominating Europe. Ultimately, we can only rely on the team's own problems, because at least from the current point of view, no team has the strength to challenge Tottenham Hotspur.

Even if Tottenham Hotspur let go of two full-backs this summer, Alves and Alba.

Interestingly, both players came to Barcelona.

Perhaps Guardiola has been a little isolated from the world recently, and he has not received these news, but what makes him feel incredible is that the worth of these two players is so high, the package price reached 500 million euros, This is simply a robbery, Russell must be crazy to make such a stupid decision!
"He is going to make a last-ditch effort. Real Madrid can't get these two players anyway, especially in the new season. Your resignation has already caused Russell to be questioned. If he loses the league title again, he will become a member." They are the target of their attack, so he has to make such a decision, he has no choice!"

"However, he was also unlucky. He met Ye Qiu. This bastard had a fruitful trip to Madrid. He not only frightened Roselle, but also sneakily finalized Azpilicueta. I heard that Mourinho was on the spot. Rushing to Stamford Bridge, pointing at Pini Zahavi's nose and yelling, and the next day, the hapless Chelsea general manager announced his resignation!"

Mrs Cruy is gone, but the words are still echoing in Guardiola's head.

Half an hour later, Guardiola woke up and took a deep breath. He found that the rain outside had stopped. Is this the rhythm of helping the coffee shop drive people home?
Thinking of this, Guardiola chuckled and picked up the mobile phone on the table. He realized that the mobile phone he was using was Ye Qiu's masterpiece?And the number he wanted to call was also for Ye Qiu.

"Hello, Mr. Ye Qiu!" Guardiola smiled politely into the phone.

"Hehe, Pepe, I didn't expect you to call me!" Ye Qiu on the phone seemed to be quite idle, "Is there anything wrong?"

"Want a set of Tottenham Hotspur season tickets, don't you know it's convenient?" Guardiola asked.

Ye Qiu laughed, "Of course, I'll have someone prepare for your friendship, but there is one condition."

"Tell me!" Guardiola replied. Although the two are not close friends, they are familiar with each other. With Guardiola's financial resources, it is absolutely impossible to ask others for a set of season tickets, mainly because of the current trusteeship. Turnham Hotspur is hard to find a ticket.

"You come to watch every game, and I will send you tickets for every game, and you can even bring your family along!"

Guardiola laughed after hearing this, "I am very loyal to Barcelona!"

"I didn't say you were disloyal. I just watched the game. Didn't you come to White Hart Lane to watch the game?" Ye Qiu responded with a smile.

"Okay, I'll try my best, but I can't promise to be there for every game!"

Ye Qiu nodded and smiled, "OK, I'll let someone arrange it, and I'll let you know when the time comes!"

"Thank you!" Guardiola said with a smile.

"Hey, Pepe, I heard that you are going to Bayern Munich?" Ye Qiu suddenly thought of this question.

"Maybe, but it hasn't been finalized yet!" Guardiola smiled and didn't hide anything. The only two people he told were Cruyff and Ye Qiu. Of course, his wife also knew about it. But that's his family.

"I have to go to a team that has the hope of beating you. Otherwise, how can I avenge the two rounds of 9:0?"

That battle was Ye Qiu's proud battle. After hearing this, he laughed immediately, in a good mood, "I welcome you to come and avenge your revenge anytime!"

After a few more words, the two hung up the phone. Neither of them was the kind of person who could talk very much.

After hanging up the phone, Guardiola smiled for no reason. At least Ye Qiu gave him the feeling that he was a very nice person, very straightforward, and at the same time very charismatic. He remembered what Ye Qiu told him that day, and felt I'm really looking forward to it. I don't know if I can really coach Tottenham Hotspur one day in the future?
If so, I don't know what kind of situation it will be!
…………

…………

"You are laughing like a thief, people who don't know will think that there is some ulterior secret between you and Guardiola!"

Roland was sitting across from Ye Qiu, and smiled sarcastically to tease Ye Qiu. He was not polite to Ye Qiu. After all, he had been with Ye Qiu for more than ten years, since Ye Qiu was in Ajax. The two were partners together, and they were best friends when they were in their infancy, so they talked more casually with each other.

Regarding Roland's teasing, which was full of hints, Ye Qiu didn't say much nonsense, and directly pointed out a middle finger.

Fatty Luo chuckled and continued to get down to business. "I went to the United States for a special trip before. It's a good place, just near Yale University. In the past few days, I have arranged for staff to transfer equipment and equipment there one after another."

This time Tottenham Hotspur's North American tour is mainly concentrated on the east coast, namely Boston, New York, Washington and Miami, and Tottenham Hotspur's training camp is arranged in New York.

But it's strange to say that New York City is so big, but there is no decent football stadium in the entire New York State, and even the home court of the New York Red Bulls is arranged in Harrison, New Jersey, which is more than a dozen distances from New York. Kilometers away, with Jersey City in between.

From this point of view, Ye Qiu is not optimistic about the establishment of an American football team in New York. The reason is very simple. New York is very expensive now. To set up a football team here and prepare for the construction of a new stadium, the price that needs to be paid will obviously be as high as one. The point you look up to is Miami instead. To set up a team there, not only is the Miami government willing to give strong support, but you can also enjoy exclusive access to the city's fans.

Although the population of Miami is very different from that of New York, this city is the wealthiest city in the United States, and it is also the headquarters of countless large companies and banks. It currently has an NBA team, the Miami Heat, but football and baseball are currently Blank.

Soccer is attracting more and more attention in the United States. Now the average attendance rate of major league games has surpassed that of NBA and baseball. It is second only to rugby and has become one of the most popular sports in the United States. This is also the same as in the past. Over the past few years, the European giants have a lot to do with the vigorous development of the US market.

Not only in attendance, but also in terms of broadcast ratings, the American major leagues also have an advantage, but more importantly, this is a small-capacity team. Even if it includes the construction of a brand new stadium, the total investment is about two About 2000 million U.S. dollars, which is about [-] million pounds, is very cost-effective.

One of the important reasons why it is so cheap is that the Florida State Assembly is very supportive of Tottenham Hotspur’s establishment of a new team in Miami to participate in the American Major League. Miami also promised that if Tottenham Hotspur If Spurs decide to form a new team in the city, they will use public funds to help Tottenham Hotspur build a new stadium.

Just for the new stadium alone, the most conservative estimate is that Tottenham Hotspur can save about [-] million U.S. dollars in investment. This was originally used to support the Florida Marlins baseball team to build a new stadium, but if it can Attracting Tottenham Hotspur to settle in strongly, for Miami, of course it is to support Tottenham Hotspur.

Therefore, after several considerations, Tottenham Hotspur's new team will be selected in Miami, and if there is no suspense, the team's name will be called Miami Hotspur, and it is expected to officially participate in the American Major League in 2015. Contest.

This time, apart from Ye Qiu and Tottenham Hotspur occupying 70% of the team's shareholding system, the remaining 30% will be composed of stars such as Beckham, Franck Ribery, Messi, Neymar, Pirlo, and NBA players. LeBron James, Miami Heat's number one star, is also a Tottenham Hotspur fan and strongly supports the plan.

After finalizing the city and shareholding structure, the formation of the team will also enter into the plan, followed by the site selection and design of the stadium, as well as the establishment of the team's administrative department and sports. At that time, Tottenham Hotspur will give great support Support, so that in 2015 officially campaign in the United States major league.

Because there was no suitable stadium, Ye Qiu chose Miami for his new team, but Tottenham Hotspur chose to arrange their training camp in New York this summer. Haven, which is the seat of the prestigious Yale University.

Not only that, Tottenham Hotspur also rented a five-storey building outside the training ground. This is the base camp of the team during the training period in New York, including the team, team media reporters, and sponsor representatives. It is even the headquarters of some of the fans who accompany the team.

This place will not only be a place for the team to rest and stay, but also a series of functions such as restaurants, media centers, and press conference halls. Tottenham Hotspur will even arrange staff to work here. Even the chef here is from Theobald.

In the past few days, Tottenham Hotspur have begun to send some training equipment and tools to New Haven, and early staff have also traveled to New Haven and London offices in advance to prepare for Tottenham Hotspur. The US trip is prepared in advance.

Listening to Roland's report, Ye Qiu couldn't help admiring the strength of the staff, they were really pervasive.

"This was originally a small hotel. I heard that they first searched for a training venue in New York, and then searched for the surrounding headquarters. This time, you really should reward them well!" Roland was equally impressed.

Ye Qiu nodded with a smile. The advantage of having such a place as headquarters is obvious, that is, everyone can act in unison, and this time Tottenham Hotspur are playing games in Boston, New York, Washington and Miami. After the first three games, the team will return to the headquarters to continue training. Only the fourth game in Miami, the team will fly directly to the Middle East after the game, so Tottenham Hotspur will stay here for at least three days. more than a week.

Not only that, but Tottenham Hotspur will also cooperate with sponsors to carry out a series of promotional activities. In order to attract more fans, Tottenham Hotspur will cooperate with Adidas and other sponsors in New York. A fan experience area has been created in a park.

This is a comprehensive display of Tottenham Hotspur's culture, stories and history. At that time, Tottenham Hotspur players will be arranged to go to the scene to interact with the fans every day, and some Interactive games, and some retired Tottenham Hotspur veterans such as Davies and Ruud Ruud also appeared on the scene.

In addition, some Tottenham Hotspur fans will act as volunteers for the team, work for Tottenham Hotspur on the spot, play interactive games for fans who come to experience, and introduce Tottenham Hotspur's history and culture.

This is a comprehensive presentation of Tottenham Hotspur, and will even include the UEFA Champions League trophy won by Tottenham Hotspur, the St. The other two imitation trophies of the Thorns, as well as other championship trophies of the team, will appear in the honor exhibition hall of the fan experience area for all fans to visit.

Other players who are interested in football can sign up to participate in the training camp activities in the fan experience area. At that time, there will be current and retired Tottenham Hotspur stars to guide them and conduct some live-action contests. They feel the strength and level of some professional players.

And Adidas also actively contributed to the partnership between Tottenham Hotspur and more than 50 elementary schools in three cities including New York, Washington, and Miami. Tottenham Hotspur will provide regular teacher training and teaching for these elementary schools. Exchange of experience, sharing of teaching materials and equipment, and even assist them in participating in competitions and other activities.

The fan experience program started when Tottenham Hotspur landed in the United States and ended when the team left the United States. However, the cooperation program with more than 50 primary schools will last for at least two years. During these two years, Adidas and other sponsors The business capital will provide full support, which is also a powerful move for Adidas to break into Nike's stronghold.

There is no doubt that after years of accumulation and improvement, Tottenham Hotspur has now become a powerful weapon for Adidas to compete with Nike, which even exceeds Real Madrid and Bayern Munich. At least, Tottenham Hotspur In the United States, Asia and the Middle East, there is an appeal and appeal that these two giants cannot match.

Ye Qiu looked at the detailed plan and itinerary, signed his name in a swish, put it together and handed it back to Roland. This plan requires the signature of the head coach to be able to complete it. count.

After Roland closed the document, his fat face trembled with a smile on his chubby face, "I said, are you preparing a speech for Harvard Business School recently? Do you need help?"

This fat man speaks as if he is very proficient in this field.

"Let's hear it!" Ye Qiu asked with a smile.

"It's very simple, talk about a lot of esoteric tactical theories, and directly make those amateur fans dizzy, and you will succeed!" Roland laughed.

Ye Qiu shook his head and laughed, "Yes, it was successful, but after you finish speaking, you will find that all the audience either fell asleep or ran away, leaving you alone to entertain yourself, is it interesting?"

From Ye Qiu's point of view, this is undoubtedly a very interesting thing, but it is also not a small challenge.

I heard that Ye Qiu received an invitation from Harvard Business School. Platini, Ferguson and others also called to inquire, and they all talked about this issue. They should not be too professional, because the audience of those business schools may not like football. , You must have scared them away with a lot of boring football theories.

So Ye Qiu's idea is to talk about some less professional things, but business school students are more interested, such as management, this is a university question, after all, being a head coach is the same as managing a company in many ways of.

This is the truth of the so-called comprehension by analogy.

"Oh, look at your attitude, it's too immodest, I don't bother to talk to you!" Fatty Luo was contradicted by Ye Qiu, he had nothing to say, and just played a joke, this is also the characteristic of his fat man, thick-skinned to death .

But he is the lubricant of the team, and he has a good relationship with everyone. Sometimes Ye Qiu feels inconvenient without him.

After sending Roland away, Ye Qiu began to devote himself to the preparations for the season.

Tomorrow is the first day of the team's training camp. At that time, all players including the Olympic Games will return to the team to participate in the pre-season training camp, even the team just announced the introduction of Azpilicueta. Ye Qiu's previous training in Madrid At that time, it was settled with Miglia of the Spanish Olympic team, who also agreed to let Azpilicueta follow the team to the United States for training.

This player is Montoya's substitute in the Olympic team, so Miglia let him train with the team, and there is no loss to the Spanish Olympic team, but for Ye Qiu, it can help Azpilicueta Get into the team faster.

After the training camp, they are going to America, and Ye Qiu has a lot of things to do.
