The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 763 Not as good, packed?

The Southampton team is indeed too eye-catching this season.

The reason for saying this is that a very important reason is that their strong dialogue performance is too good.

3:1 to kill Manchester City, 3:1 to kill Liverpool, 2:1 to kill Chelsea, 2:0 to kill Newcastle, although these games took place at home, but Southampton's away performance is also quite good. He pushed Ferguson's team into a very embarrassing situation, and he performed well against Arsenal.

Adrianse's team has performed amazingly in the strong dialogue so far, but unfortunately, they have drawn and lost more in some other games, and the number of times they fell on weak teams was more than that. There are more times on strong teams.

This has to be said to be Southampton's biggest sticking point so far.

Lucas Moura opened the scoring in Southampton's last game in March against Jose Mourinho's Chelsea but John Terry pulled it back with a corner and then there was back and forth with no one Can score again, but Southampton always has the advantage on the field.

Until the second half, Nick Powell stepped in once to respond to Coutinho's pass, stopped with his left foot, and after a certain distance from Lamparda, he volleyed vigorously with his right foot and the ball crossed 20 meters From a distance, he got into Cesar's goal, and it was in the lower left corner, helping Southampton beat Chelsea 2:1 at home.

This battle made Nick Powell famous, and the name of Pirlo II made him a thunderous applause and a flood of praise, but after this game, Southampton chairman Matthew Le Tissier called Ye Qiu.

"He is not like Pirlo at all. His sense of position is still lacking. More importantly, if he is left behind, this is simply killing his ability and threat on the offensive end. He should not be Pirlo, but should be Be a better and more complete player than me!"

Like Leticier?
It is true that no one has raised this issue before, but the cultivation of Nick Powell within Tottenham Hotspur is not completely carried out according to Pirlo's template, because he is still young, talented, and has a lofty and bright future. prospect.

Nick Powell has also gradually revealed some advantages as he has more chances to play in the Premier League this season.

For example, he has a very clear line of play, very delicate skills at his feet, and a very good sense of the ball, especially when he stops the ball. The symbol, that is, attaches great importance to the cultivation and carving of technology.

In the past at Tottenham Hotspur, Nick Powell basically replaced Pirlo at the back because of his physical development. This showed his ability to control the ball and organize. , causing many people, including himself, to consciously want to move closer to Pirlo.

But after going to Southampton this season, he has gradually changed. The reason is very simple. He can provide the team with stable ball and defense protection, and Matic, who has a wide range of activities, is dragged behind. Nick Powell Then he can move forward with more confidence and participate more in the team's offense, which stimulates his offensive potential.

The goal against Chelsea was indeed Le Tissier's shadow, but Ye Qiu didn't want him to become Le Tissier either.

It’s not that Le Tissier is not capable. Former Southampton coach Strachan once said that when people mention Southampton, they will definitely think of the Titanic and Matthew Le Tissier, but the ship can be built better OK, but there can never be another Le Tissier.

This is very reasonable. There will never be a second Le Tissier, and there will never be a second Pirlo, so Nick Powell will only become Nick Powell himself no matter what.

Moreover, the reason why Le Tissier's career is not very high is that a very important reason is that his position and style of play require teammates around him to carry out, which makes him only able to play in a team like Southampton. If you want to show your abilities, but when it comes to the national team, it is obviously not enough.

There are many players like Le Tissier, and their ability and influence cannot be stifled just because they are not playing for top giants. It can only be said that some people are suitable for giants, while others are not.

Ye Qiu was very optimistic about Nick Powell, so he told Le Tissier on the spot that Nick Powell would not become the second Leticier, but he was very interested to know. Under the precepts and deeds of the chairman of Hampton and the legendary star, Nick Powell, who played as a midfielder for a year under the influence of Pirlo, will eventually evolve into what it will look like.

So Ye Qiu promised on the spot that in the next two seasons, Nick Powell will continue to loan Southampton, but Tottenham Hotspur's scouts and coaching staff will keep track of the young teenager's situation and progress.

For midfielders, especially those who control the overall situation, at least they have to wait until after the age of 20 to enter a period of steady improvement. Before that, they are still exploring and positioning themselves.

In a team like Tottenham Hotspur, the pressure of competition is difficult to give Nick Powell the opportunity to explore, so it is better to go directly to Southampton. Once he performs well, the team will recall him and reuse him. .

As for the other young players on the team, such as Pogba and Phil Jones, the main reason is that none of them belong to the type that controls the overall situation. They are all free midfielders, capable of offense and defense. , are also the types who do a good job, so Ye Qiu basically uses them in the midfield position.

But Nick Powell is different. If he plays, he is basically a player who controls the midfielder, but it is impossible for Tottenham Hotspur to hand over the team's midfielder to such a fledgling young boy to take risks and learn. So renting is the best option.

However, after Ye Qiu hung up on Le Tissier, he called Nick Powell himself, expressed his affirmation and encouragement to him, and promised that the team would re-sign a contract with him this summer and book His future in the team, and communicated with him about his future development prospects.

It is foreseeable that even if Nick Powell returns to Tottenham Hotspur in the future, I am afraid that he will not be the type of Pirlo. If we look at the current trend, he should be regarded as Harvey Lampard.

Therefore, Pirlo's question was placed on Ye Qiu's table again.

"A big reason why I don't want Fernandinho is age, and his value is too high!"

After the regular meeting in April, Ye Qiu returned to his office with his assistants including Peter DeVissel, Bobby Harms, Mauro Tassotti, and everyone sat down to talk about Pirlo The matter of the successor.

Fernandinho is 28 years old after the end of this season. Strictly speaking, this age is not too low, but basically his technical characteristics and style have been formed. The team's midfielder has a strong supplementary role. He is also a type with both offense and defense. He has good skills at his feet, can defend and play the ball, which meets Ye Qiu's requirements.

But the problem is, Shakhtar Donetsk priced him too high. Faced with Tottenham Hotspur's asking price, they asked for 4000 million pounds. This is simply a very, very outrageous price. How could Ye Qiu accept?

Using 4000 million pounds to introduce a 28-year-old midfielder, the key is that the player's plasticity is gone. This is not Ye Qiu's style, nor is Tottenham Hotspur's signing style.

And there is another hidden danger, that is, with the consistent peeing of Brazilians, who knows what will happen after the age of 30?
"Then you can basically give up Real Sociedad's Illarramendi. The Real Sociedad's price for him is 4000 million euros!" Peter Dewissel laughed. This was teasing Ye Qiu, because this guy clearly said However, after moving to the new stadium, he can spend a lot of money to sign in, but the result is still the same miser in the past.

Of course, Ye Qiu's stinginess is mainly reflected in the fact that he attaches great importance to the team's management and the cost-effectiveness of signings. This is what all healthy teams need to insist on. But when it comes to some money that should be spent, Ye Qiu has always Not stingy.

Perhaps, he is not called stingy, but shrewd!

"What's going on in European football these days? A young player in 1990, who played well for only one year, is worth 4000 million yuan!" Ye Qiu shook his head helplessly, although Iliaramendi's 4000 million yuan The euro and Fernandinho's 4000 million pounds are still a little short, but it is scary enough.

After listening to it, Mauro Tassotti laughed and said, "Who makes the Premier League feel and impress people as local tyrants?"

"The asking price for Witsel who moved to Zenit is also high, and his salary is very high. We may not be able to afford it. In addition, Bayern Munich's Toni Kroos is not willing to transfer..."

Ye Qiu didn't wait for Peter Dewissel to finish, and interrupted him directly, "Hey, I said Peter, can you come up with something constructive? We are not local tyrants, and we can't afford these superstar figures! "

In the summer of 2012, Zenit introduced Belgian midfielder Witsel from Benfica for 4000 million euros, which shocked the entire European football world at the time. What is the origin of this guy and is it worth the price?

As for Toni Kroos, to get him, Bayern Munich has to get a huge sum of money, at least more than 4000 million euros, so no matter from which point of view, Tottenham Hotspur is not suitable to do this transaction.

Having money is one thing, but having money doesn’t mean you have to spend it that way, right?

Peter Dewissel chuckled, and then handed over a document in his hand, "This person is very suitable for your requirements. He is not expensive, has both offensive and defensive skills, and has a stable shooting rate, and he should be very suitable for you. requirements, more importantly, the age is not high, 1990, very malleable."

Ye Qiu took it and opened it, read it carefully from beginning to end, and handed it over to Mauro Tassotti and Bobby Harms, and then they gathered around Ye Qiu's desk to log in to the club's scouts. system, and directly watched the player videos and materials uploaded by Peter DeVissel.

"Bobby, how do you feel?" Ye Qiu asked.

Bobby Harms smiled with his chubby figure, "I know this player well. He belongs to the kind of midfielder with strong control ability. Controlling the rhythm, sorting out the midfield and attacking from the back are all very good, and there is also a precise wide-range long pass, a very rare player with good skills and body."

"But after his debut, what is rare for this player is that while his performance has improved steadily, his progress has also been very obvious, step by step, and now his defensive level has improved a lot, but at least from the current point of view, defense is still his weakness. , but from the perspective of passing vision, back penetration, and the game situation, they are all very good."

"A typical controlling all-around midfielder!" Ye Qiu said with a smile.

Bobby Harms laughed after hearing this. He found that what Ye Qiu is pursuing now is actually very similar to what Michels was pursuing back then. They are all pursuing the kind of very versatile midfielder with both offensive and defensive skills, technical and physical confrontation. Blended into one, such players are combined together, and the midfielder is very resilient.

The difference is that Ye Qiu's current football is thinner than that of Michels, with more running and a faster rhythm.

As many people have said, football tactics are a spiraling development trend, and they will definitely be inherited, but there will also be breakthroughs and improvements, and it is impossible to copy them unchanged. With that group of players, it is impossible to win the championship now.

"Mauro, what do you think?" Ye Qiu asked Mauro Tassotti.

The Italian smiled. He knew very well that the reason why Ye Qiu didn't want Fernandinho was to leave him with a stable lineup, especially the midfielder. In Tottenham Hotspur's tactical system, Midfielders are so important.

So Ramsey, Vidal, Pogba, Phil Jones and others are very young this season, and Mauro Tassotti has a high status in their hearts. Mauro Tassotti will take over in the future. If people obey the rules, Tottenham Hotspur's results are not bad.

"This player has a high ball quotient, and his control and organization are better than Van Bommel and Cocu, but his defense is much worse. At present, the offense is better than defense, but I believe that such a high ball quotient player, The pace of progress will not be slow, I think, even if the price is more expensive, we should introduce it!"

After hearing this, Peter DeVissel also laughed, "If you want to introduce this player, I can directly participate in the operation, but I have another candidate here, you look at it, it was in [-]. "

Mauro Tassotti laughed and scolded immediately when he saw it, "Peter, you are like a faucet that can't be tightened, squeezing out drop by drop!"

It's a joke, but the player recommended by Peter DeVissel is actually very familiar to everyone present, so Ye Qiu just glanced at it casually and handed it over to Mauro Tassotti And Bobby Harms, but they didn't really look at it because the player was so familiar.

"The worth of the two players is about the same, about 500 million euros. Think about it!" Peter Dewissel said with a smile. These two people are the ones he recommends to Ye Qiu and Mauro Tassotti. Candidates.

Seeing Ye Qiu look at him, Mauro Tassotti smiled wryly, "The characteristics of the two seem to be similar, but they are actually different. It is difficult for me to distinguish clearly for the time being, but your previous budget was not 3000 million euros. ?"

When he said this, Mauro Tassotti paused for a moment, looked at Ye Qiu, "Why don't you pack it?"

As soon as the Italian finished speaking, several people present burst into laughter, especially Bobby Harms and Peter Dewissel. The two old Dutch men laughed from ear to ear. This Italian is also a traffickers.

However, it is foreseeable that if these two players are packaged and both play at the same level as expected, then Tottenham Hotspur's midfield will be the most powerful super midfielder in Europe in the next ten years.

…………

…………

After finishing the monthly regular meeting, Ye Qiu started to participate in the match against Real Madrid at home.

Manuel Pellegrini's team has performed quite well in both La Liga and the Champions League this season, with Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale, David Silva and other leading superstar players , Real Madrid's offensive power is enough to make all competitors in Europe feel terrified.

It can be said that looking at the current European football, Pellegrini's Real Madrid is the best-looking team besides Tottenham Hotspur, and he also led Real Madrid to a league championship last season , But even so, Real Madrid is still locked in Ancelotti as the head coach for next season.

I have to say that this is really not enough respect for Pellegrini, but Chilean engineers are not short of places to go. His biggest idea at present is to lead Real Madrid to the Champions League, and then take over the coaching position of Manchester City in the summer.

There is a saying that is right, your current job is for the next boss to see, so before Real Madrid came to London from Spain, Pellegrini said in an interview with the media that he faced Totna. Hotspur will not adopt defensive tactics, but will stick to Real Madrid's consistent style.

"If Tottenham want to attack, then attack, I would love to see a match!"

But now the morale of Real Madrid is not ideal. The first leg was tied by Manchester United at home. Everyone thought that Real Madrid was going to be over, so the outside world spread the connection between Real Madrid and Ancelotti, but no one thought that the first In the second round, Pellegrini's team defeated Manchester United 2:1 away.

So many people are worried about whether Pellegrini can adjust the morale and state of the players before this crucial battle. The most important thing is to be able to stabilize the unity within the team, which can help Real Madrid Get out of the away game, otherwise, White Hart Lane Stadium will become their nightmare.

But one thing is indisputable, that is, the two-round duel between Tottenham Hotspur and Real Madrid is the focus battle that attracts the most attention of fans all over the world in the quarter-finals of the Champions League. Every move of the two teams is watched by fans and fans. The media is watching closely.

Because they believe that this will be a wonderful game!
