The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 779 I am Ye Qiu
When Kevin Strowman walked out of Heathrow Airport accompanied by his agent De Cole, he saw a very surprised scene. There were more than 500 fans welcoming him, and many reporters were facing him. He walked out of the gate and took crazy pictures.

This made him a little at a loss, and he just stood there in a daze, not knowing how to respond.

"This is Tottenham Hotspur!" De Cole pulled the players around him, signaling that he should go up bravely.

Kevin Strowman glanced at the agent, took a deep breath, raised his head and walked forward, but he was asking, "Should I say a few words? Or accept them?" Interview?" His voice trembled.

De Cole pretended to look in other directions, but said in his mouth: "It's best not to use it, just smile to show that you are not nervous."

After hearing this, Strowman immediately showed a smiling face, but this guy's face was a bit like Ruud van Nistelrooy's, and he was very tall, so his smile was more terrifying than when he didn't smile, but at this moment, in many In the eyes of Tottenham Hotspur fans, this smile represents muscle, toughness and fearlessness.

It has been a month since the Champions League final. In the past month, all the media have been hyping and promoting Tottenham Hotspur's transfer progress and signings, especially as many people know that this is Ye Qiu's coach In the last season, although Ye Qiu said in an interview that he would not pursue results this season, everyone hoped that he would have a perfect ending.

Anyone with a little insight would know that Ye Qiu was going to lay the foundation for Mauro Tassotti, but the results were also very important, so we couldn't give Ye Qiu a dismal end, right?The midfield is undoubtedly the weakest part of Tottenham Hotspur, and it is also the link with the greatest hidden danger.

Ramsey, Pogba, Vidal, Eriksson, Phil Jones and others are capable and young, but none of them are qualified for the team's midfielder position, or as the team's midfield organizer role, but Pirlo is already old. At this time, the introduction of a midfield organizer has become Tottenham Hotspur's biggest problem.

This type of player is often terrible, just like Real Madrid, Harvey Alonso is younger than Pirlo, but Real Madrid can't wait to find a successor for him, that is Real Sociedad's Illarramen di.

This player is also hooked up with Tottenham Hotspur. Peter de Wiesel has personally inspected this player, but the price of Real Sociedad is too high, and Tottenham Hotspur is not willing to pay the 4000 million euros The transfer fee, so the player eventually switched to Real Madrid with a termination fee.

From Yaya Toure's return, to Gundogan's investment, and then to Fernandinho, Tottenham Hotspur's midfield signing target was hyped by the outside media, and finally fell on PSV Eindhoven's Dutch international, Kevin Strowman.

Kevin Strowman, 23 years old, is a midfielder with a left foot. What impresses everyone the most is that he was the steals leader in midfield in the Europa League last season, with an average of 7 steals per game. Ahead of other competitors such as Lars Bender, not only that, he averaged four shots per game, averaged 7 passes per game, and a success rate of 77%. The scoring data given by OPTA is 3, ranked tenth, is the best midfielder in the Europa League.

B2B, that is, from restricted area to restricted area, this is everyone's impression of Strowman.

Also because of his outstanding performance in the Europa League, coupled with his role as a field commander in Eindhoven, Strowman has attracted the attention of many giant teams, such as AC Milan and Inter Milan in Serie A. They all listed him as a key signing target, and Manchester United even issued a strong invitation to him. Ferguson believed that he was a combination of Keane and Carrick.

Tottenham Hotspur’s official evaluation of Strowman is also very high. Peter Dewissel from Eindhoven believes that Strowman is better at a team that pays attention to ground ball coordination and oppressive style of play He plays a threat, and he is not a defensive midfielder, nor is he a strong midfielder. He is a central midfielder with excellent organizational and post-piercing abilities.

In Ferguson's description, he is a Carrick with better running coverage, defensive ability and offensive ability, especially the through ball in the opponent's 30-meter area, which is very threatening, and also Has a free kick technique.

But he can only use his left foot, and his right foot is weak, which is far less threatening than Carrick's feet, and his long pass is slightly inferior to Carrick, so it is a combination of Carrick and Keane.

In the Europa League match against Naples, it was Strowman's outstanding performance that gave PSV an overall advantage. Among them, PSV's oppressive style of play reduced Naples' short passes. Suppressed to only half of Eindhoven, Strowman contributed [-] steals, which shows his anticipation of the ball and excellent defensive skills.

As a midfielder, Strowman also has a weakness, that is, his physical confrontation is relatively weak, but for the 1.8-meter-six Kong Wu, this is definitely not a problem, especially for Tottenham. It can be said that as long as the player meets the requirements of the team, his body can be developed. After all, he is only 23 years old.

A very important reason why this player has aroused the interest of Tottenham Hotspur fans is that Martin Samuel broke the news that all the transfers of Tottenham Hotspur this year are fully responsible for all the transfers of Tottenham Hotspur. Ye Qiu Just nod.

In other words, this year's transfer has nothing to do with Ye Qiu, so many people are looking forward to whether these few signings from Tottenham Hotspur can continue to exert Ye Qiu's eye-catching effect.

In fact, from another level of analysis, we can also see the difference.

The transfers advocated by Ye Qiu are all high-quality and cheap transfers, but among the two transfers that Tottenham Hotspur have announced this year, Lewandowski's transfer fee is as high as 2000 million euros, which is Tottenham Hotspur's transfer fee is as high as [-] million euros. The highest transfer for Tottenham in recent years.

Although Stroman's transfer fee is not as high as Lewandowski's, it is as high as 500 million euros, which is quite a high transfer fee for Tottenham Hotspur.

The well-known reporter Sean Ingle of the Guardian also broke the news that after signing two transfers, Tottenham Hotspur will also introduce a central midfielder, and the transfer fee has basically been finalized. Not less than 500 million euros.

5000 million euros, this may only be said to be trivial money for some other wealthy teams, but for Tottenham Hotspur, which has always been thrifty and housekeeping, spending 5000 million euros in a summer has to be traced back to It's time for Ye Qiu to take over Tottenham Hotspur, but at that time it was a painful reform, but now it's just a strengthening of the midfield.

Therefore, many fans can see from the transfer operation this summer that Tottenham Hotspur is changing, gradually getting rid of Ye Qiu, and getting rid of Ye Qiu's influence on the team.

"Hi Kevin, could you stop and say a few words?"

"I'm a reporter from The Sun, can I ask you a few questions, Kevin?"

"We would like to know, what made you reject Manchester United's invitation and choose to join Tottenham Hotspur?"

"I heard that Ferguson personally called to invite you, but you rejected him. Is it true?"

"Do you think Manchester United under Moyes will usher in decline?"

After Kevin Stroman approached, many reporters rushed up at the scene. They aimed their microphones and recording pens at Kevin Stroman and blocked his way at the same time.

Stroman was still playing in the Dutch second league two years ago. He went to Utrecht in 2011. After half a season, he was poached by Eindhoven, and soon became the team's vice-captain and was selected for the national team. He is now the captain of the Dutch national team.

But he has never experienced such a battle, because no matter whether it is in Eindhoven or in the Dutch national team, the media will not throw so much attention on him, but he has nothing to do now, just Joining Tottenham Hotspur.

Could it be that this team really attracts so much attention?
Just when Strowman and his manager didn't know how to deal with this situation, the crowd next to them suddenly parted, and saw Ye Qiu walking over with a suitcase in his hand, smiling happily as he walked. While taking off his sunglasses, he obviously just came out of the gate.

"What a coincidence?" Ye Qiu came over, smiled and stretched out his hand, "Kevin, I'm Ye Qiu!"

"You... hello, Mr. Ye Qiu!" Strowman was a little dumbfounded, unexpectedly bumping into the head coach here.

"Hello, Mr. Ye Qiu, I'm Decole, his manager!" Decole greeted with some restraint.

Ye Qiu's sudden appearance changed the atmosphere of the scene suddenly. All the reporters turned their attention to Ye Qiu one after another, and almost all the questions they asked had something to do with Strowman.

"Mr. Ye Qiu, can you explain, what is the reason why Tottenham Hotspur are willing to pay such a high transfer fee for Strowman? You know, the previous Tottenham Hotspur midfielder was worth The highest is Vidal, 1000 to two million euros."

After Ye Qiu listened to the reporter's question, he shook his head with a smile and said, "There's no way to compare, right? Vidal's contract had only one year left at the time, but Kevin was what we desperately wanted. I believe that if we wait another two In [-], when his contract expires, we can move on a free transfer, but the problem is, we want him this summer!"

"I want to explain one more point. We introduced Kevin because we believed he could provide enough help to the team. Our transfer has always believed in a principle, that is, the value of players on the court. I think this A transfer that is worth a lot because he will give us more help in midfield."

"Mr. Ye Qiu, I heard that Ferguson also wants to get him."

Ye Qiu smiled and waved his hands, "That old guy has already retired, he has no right to speak!"

All the reporters burst out laughing. Everyone knew that Ye Qiu and Ferguson had a close relationship, and they often attacked each other.

"What about Sandro? Many fans believe that the Brazilian midfielder should stay in the team!"

Mentioning this point, Ye Qiu became very cautious, "I will have a good talk with him, I know he is an excellent professional player, he has no problems, but sometimes the team has to make some Choice, I could keep him on the team, but the thing is, he's only 23 years old, and it would be a big shame for him if he didn't play enough games to continue to help him grow and improve, I can't do that, but I believe we will have a good result."

After answering a few questions casually, Ye Qiu waved his hand and announced that today was over.

"If there are any questions, we will arrange a debut ceremony tomorrow, you can ask then!"

After speaking, Ye Qiu waved to Kevin Strowman and his manager, and the group separated the reporters and fans, and left the departure hall of Heathrow Airport.

"Thank you, Mr. Ye Qiu!" Strowman walked beside Ye Qiu and said politely.

Ye Qiu smiled and shook his head, "It's okay, but you'd better be mentally prepared. After joining Tottenham Hotspur, there will be many things like today, so you need to get used to and adapt to such scenes. When the time comes There are people who train you in cross-examination skills from the media, reporters and fans."

"Also, don't be under pressure!" After Ye Qiu finished speaking, he waved to Strowman, and after saying goodbye, he walked to an extremely stunning super sports car opposite the gate of the waiting hall. ?The BMW hybrid supercar I8 that appeared in Cruise's movie "Mission: Impossible".

The car in front of me is more eye-catching than in the movie, and almost everyone passing by can't help but stop for it.

Seeing Ye Qiu get into the passenger seat, Strowman noticed that there was an oriental beauty sitting in the driver's seat, and that should be Ye Qiu's wife.

"BMW is the sponsor of Tottenham Hotspur. This car has been reported by the media before. It is said that it is a concept car specially designed by BMW for Ye Qiu. The automotive system, including the touch-sensitive windshield and more, is a dream car."

De Cole is obviously also a car lover, watching this extremely cool I8 roaring away, he smiled at Strowman beside him: "After you show up, they will arrange for you to choose a car , It is estimated that there will be an I8 next year."

Strowman is looking forward to it. To him, joining Tottenham Hotspur is not only about landing in the Premier League, but also means more. For example, he can get a top BMW car for free.

At this moment, a staff member came out from the side, "Hi, Kevin, I'm from the Tottenham Hotspur Player Service Center, welcome to London!"

…………

…………

Tottenham Hotspur defeated Manchester United, AC Milan and Inter Milan and introduced Kevin Stroman, one of the captains of the Dutch national team, which caused quite a stir in the transfer market.

Strengthening the midfield has become the consensus of several teams in the Premier League this season.

After Moyes took charge of Manchester United, the Scot is still reorganizing Manchester United's coaching staff and preparing for the lineup. The midfielder is undoubtedly the top priority, but Manchester United's current problem is definitely not just the midfielder, but also includes line of defense.

But Moyes' efficiency in this aspect is indeed not high. It will be July soon, but he has not made any movement. This also makes the Red Devils fans feel very anxious. I wonder if Moyes has no real power?Or is it because the Scots don't know how to operate the transfer of the giants?

Relatively speaking, last season's runner-up Liverpool appeared to be very fast. Benitez's team successively won the two defensive backbones of Ali Sissoko and Mamadou Sakho. There is a typical characteristic, that is, young and very capable.

This is indeed an unusual year, because even Arsenal claimed to have a transfer fee of 7000 million pounds in their hands, but after a month passed, Arsenal did not spend even a penny so far. The two players introduced They are all free transfers, namely Auxerre's young teenager Yaya Sanogo and AC Milan midfielder Flamini.

Wenger has a lot of players, including Villa and Suarez of Liverpool, Wanyama of the Celtics, Nkuru of Marseille, etc., are Wenger's goals, but he has not seen Arsenal yet. Na has any movement.

Mourinho's Chelsea almost entered the Champions League qualification zone last season. This season, the Portuguese madman will make a comeback. His targets include Anzhi's William, Southampton's Matic, Atletico Madrid's Diego Costa and other powerful stars, and these players are also expensive.

But Chelsea are rich and powerful. After the operation in the past month, they signed Schurrle from Bayer Leverkusen for 800 million pounds, and signed Brazilian midfielder Willian from Anzhi for 3000 million pounds.

After Borussia Dortmund's center Lewandowski has announced his switch to Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea will next attack Atletico Madrid's Diego Costa, and Mourinho also wants to introduce a right back. It was Dortmund's Piszczek, but Klopp announced that the player was not for sale.

Entering July, with the end of the Confederations Cup, the Brazilian genius Neymar in the Tottenham Hotspur team has also received strong attention from the outside world, especially Barcelona, ​​which has declared that it is willing to pay 5000 million euros for Neymar. Membership fee, but Tottenham Hotspur announced that Neymar is not for sale.

After finishing the Confederations Cup, Neymar also stated that he would not consider leaving Tottenham Hotspur because he is eager to succeed here and he feels that he is familiar with and adapted to the style of the Premier League.

"I would like to say that I haven't been able to perform at my best in Tottenham Hotspur these few seasons for various reasons, but this year I hope to have a good performance. It requires more effort from me.”

Therefore, after the Confederations Cup, Neymar will return to London after a few days of rest to participate in the team's pre-season training.

With the end of the Confederations Cup, more and more transfer news has become the focus of media attention.

After Tottenham Hotspur entered July, it announced that the team had introduced the No.3 player of this summer, that is, the center Aleksandar Mitrovic from Partizan Belgrade. Nam Tottenham transfer fee of 400 million euros.

But in the eyes of many fans, Tottenham Hotspur, which has been promoted to a top giant, spent 400 million euros to introduce a powerful center forward who can become a new generation of Warcraft. This is undoubtedly a very cost-effective deal and transaction.

Moreover, there is Drogba in the team now, bringing the old with the new, which is also the expectation of the fans.

That is, on the second day after the announcement of the introduction of Aleksandar Mitrovic, a superstar transfer that had been hyped by the media all over the world for more than half a year was finally settled!
