The Godfather of Football

The White Hart Lane Stadium, which can accommodate 36,000 people, was packed.

Almost all Tottenham fans were anxiously waiting in the stands, waiting for the news they had been waiting for for more than a month to finally come to an end, and for the person they wanted to see to appear.

A temporary platform was set up in the middle of the stadium, with empty space on all sides, so that every Tottenham fan sitting in the stands could clearly see everything on the platform, and everything on the platform also appeared on the big screen of the stadium.

As time approached, the fans in the stands became more and more excited, noisy, and full of momentum.

When the club's press officer in a well-tailored suit slowly walked out of the player's tunnel, all the Tottenham fans in the stadium were in an uproar. They all thought it was Ye Qiu who came out, and cheered for a while, but when they found out that it was not him, it suddenly turned into a boo.

"Ladies and gentlemen, all Tottenham fans, welcome to Tottenham's White Hart Lane Stadium!" The press officer was used to such scenes, standing calmly on the platform and speaking into the microphone.

On the rostrum, politicians and business celebrities including Mayor Ken Livingstone had already sat down, but Ye Qiu was not there. Only the club's beautiful CEO Eliza Moon was there to accompany him, which made all the fans at the scene excited.

"I believe that all the fans and journalists present must have known that Tottenham had completed its delisting at the end of May, and the world-famous coach Mr. Ye Qiu had completed an acquisition of Tottenham, and we are very honored to tell all Tottenham fans that Mr. Ye Qiu will coach Tottenham from the new season!"

As soon as this news came out, the boos suddenly turned into cheers all over the sky, all Tottenham fans cheered, and many people even stood up to vent their excitement.

"Next, let's welcome the club chairman and head coach, Mr. Ye Qiu!"

This time, the whole audience applauded, and the big screen was aimed at the player's tunnel. Ye Qiu led his core coaching staff members to slowly walk out of the player's tunnel. All the fans in the audience could easily recognize each coaching staff member and call out their names, but there was one person they didn't know.

Ye Qiu walked to the platform, waved to the fans in four directions, and faced the rostrum.

"I'm very happy to come to White Hart Lane. Many people may not know that when I decided to leave Ajax three years ago, I almost came to White Hart Lane, but unfortunately, I missed everyone that time, but this time, I'm here!"

As soon as Ye Qiu finished speaking, there was another round of warm applause at the scene.

"Perhaps many people will wonder why I want to buy Tottenham Hotspur?"

"Because this is a team with a long history and tradition. This is a team that once created a football school, that is, running and receiving the ball. Now it has spread all over the world and changed football tactics. In addition, in the past few years, Tottenham Hotspur has always been a pioneer of reform. There are many things in this team that are very similar to my football philosophy."

"I hope to build a team here that can implement my tactical philosophy. So, please rest assured that my coming to Tottenham Hotspur is definitely not a game that arises by chance, nor is it a speculative hype that I want to sell. I came to Tottenham Hotspur because I am determined to run this team as my core business. I hope to make Tottenham Hotspur the strongest and best team in the Premier League and even in Europe in the next few years!"

When Ye Qiu said this, he once again received warm applause from all Tottenham fans and guests in the audience. Many Tottenham fans even screamed, because who doesn't want their team to be the strongest?

"I am here today, facing all the fans and all the media, I can promise that in the next few years, I will do my best to make Tottenham Hotspur a team that can challenge or even win the highest honors of the Premier League and even the Champions League. From now on, our Tottenham Hotspur football has only one goal, the championship!"

The whole stadium was filled with cheers again, and the fans were obviously crazy.

"But football is not something that can be achieved overnight. We want to succeed, but it takes time. We must also see that in a short period of time, we do not have the strength to directly challenge the Premier League or even the European champion. We must accumulate step by step, because what we want is long-term, stable and sustainable glory, not short-term glitz. What we want is to become the top giants in the Premier League and even Europe, not a nouveau riche who is complacent after winning a championship!"

"This involves my second promise to you. I will build a new high-tech modern training base and the best youth training center in Tottenham Hotspur!" Ye Qiu's words received another round of cheers from the fans present.

After the cheers died down, Ye Qiu continued, "I believe everyone knows that we just signed a land purchase contract with Hertford County not long ago. We bought a piece of land of 1,500 acres in the north of Enfield. We will use it to build a training base of our own, including the first team and a complete youth team training system."

"I can guarantee that in one year's time the first team training base will be put into use, and in two years the youth team base will be put into use, and in every year in the future we will invest a lot of money in it. Regarding youth training, I believe that this new training base will become an inexhaustible treasure trove of talents for us in the future! ”

There was another burst of warm applause. If there was only the first promise, it would definitely not be able to dispel everyone's doubts and worries. But with the second promise, everyone would believe that Ye Qiu was serious this time.

At the very least, it would cost over 100 million euros to build such a training base.

"I can also make a promise to everyone here. In the next few years, we will build a new, better, and more modern football stadium. I hope that when this football stadium is completed and put into use, We have the best stars in the world, playing the most gorgeous attacking football in the world, beating the strongest competitors in the world!”

“I hope that when this new stadium is completed, we can win all the championship trophies, greet our new stadium with championships and honors, and use them to announce the arrival of our Tottenham Hotspur era! "

"I am very confident about this, and I hope everyone can be as confident as me!"

The scene erupted with the warmest round of applause since the opening, especially regarding Ye Qiu's expectation for the completion of the new stadium, which made all the Tottenham Hotspur fans present feel excited. The blood controls the mind, becomes passionate, and becomes crazy.

After the fans' enthusiasm calmed down, Ye Qiu continued: "Many people may ask me, how can I fulfill the promises above? How can I ensure that these promises can be fulfilled? Why?"

"I'm not a crazy investor. I won't tell you how much money I will invest in Tottenham Hotspur in one, two or even three years. I won't tell you how much I will invest in Tottenham Hotspur this year. What kind of superstars and players will be brought to the team in the summer.”

"But I am not stingy at all. Even if the money I need to spend is 100 million, I will not hesitate for a moment. As long as it is worth spending, I will not go crazy and make some completely irrational and unsustainable investments. Crazy Introducing superstars can only bring short-term prosperity, but it is like building an ethereal castle in the air. When the investment is reduced, it will collapse! "

"Being careful with your budget is the fundamental core of running a team, and being smart does not mean being stingy. Being stingy means not being willing to spend money, but being smart means spending what should be spent and saving what should be saved. Therefore, I think that my policy and strategy for running the team is Yes, shrewd!"

"Of course, in the eyes of many people, this may not be a complimentary word, and it may not even be a neutral word!"

Ye Qiu's last words caused a burst of laughter, filling the White Hart Lane stadium.

"Next, let me introduce to you some of my assistants, Roland Shepas!"

Following Ye Qiu's words, Roland walked out and waved to the fans in all four directions.

"Mauro Tassotti!" Ye Qiu pointed at Tassotti and introduced.

Many senior fans were immediately surprised when they heard this, and quite a few football reporters present were shocked because they all knew that Mauro Tassotti had always been Ancelotti's assistant coach. He was his right-hand man, but now he was lured to Tottenham Hotspur by Ye Qiu, which was really surprising.

The next few coaches are all Ye Qiu's old team. Anyone who is familiar with Ye Qiu will be familiar with it. The media has already revealed the list of Ye Qiu's coaching staff, but there is no Mauro in it. ?Tassotti, everyone else has it.

"Next, let me introduce to you some new players who have joined the team!" Ye Qiu pointed to the player tunnel with a smile.

For a time, all Tottenham fans in the audience cheered. They had known for a long time that this would be a press conference for the debut of new players, so they had been looking forward to the team's new players since early in the morning.

"Brazil international from Ajax, Thiago Silva!"

When Ye Qiu introduced him, Thiago Silva slowly walked out of the player tunnel. Although this Brazilian international who had just participated in the World Cup in Germany was not the main player of the Brazilian national team, he was very optimistic about it. Jax has performed well, and it was previously revealed that he is worth at least 15 million euros.

"The Ivorian midfielder from Ajax, Yaya Toure!"

"Argentinian midfielder from Ajax, Javier Mascherano!"

The appearance of the three Ajax players immediately made all the fans cheer. Although this transfer had been exposed by the media before, Tottenham Hotspur fans were still surprised because these three The players all performed well at Ajax, especially Mascherano, who shined even more in the World Cup.

"The person introduced below is the forward from Uruguay's Danubio team, Edinson Cavani!"

The long-haired Edinson Cavani slowly ran out of the tunnel and came to the platform to hug Ye Qiu.

Speaking of how he joined Tottenham Hotspur, it was really risky. When Ye Qiu called him before, he missed the answer and made four or five calls. After that, he returned to Danu. After Biot, the club management told him that he already belonged to Tottenham Hotspur, and it was only then that he noticed the missed call on his mobile phone.

This touched Edinson Cavani so much that he immediately called back. Even though it was midnight in England, Ye Qiu still talked to him for more than an hour and told him his position on him and his expectations for his future. Edinson Cavani agreed to join Tottenham on the spot.

Even though he had always wanted to go to Italy where his grandfather lived, he obviously couldn't refuse Ye Qiu's invitation, so he decided to join the Premier League. Because his grandfather was Italian, he had dual citizenship of Uruguay and Italy.

At the same time, Ye Qiu also announced that Tottenham had introduced four Chelsea players. Van Persie, Fabregas and Messi all came to the scene. Only Ribery was unable to come to the scene because he played in the World Cup final for the French national team. However, everyone felt that Ye Qiu had picked up a big bargain for Scarface to join Tottenham.

Although Ribery was the best 12th player during Ye Qiu's time and was highly valued by the outside world, after Ye Qiu stepped down, Ribery missed the pre-season training due to an injury, and Mourinho introduced players such as Duff and Wright-Phillips who conflicted with Ribery in position, so Ribery was reduced to a substitute most of the time.

This situation is a bit similar to Liverpool striker Baros in 2004. The Czech striker also performed poorly in Liverpool, but he shined in the 2004 European Cup and his value increased by a hundred times. However, Liverpool did not let him go at that time, which directly led to Baros rotting in his hands and could not be sold at a good price.

Today, Ribery has performed very well in this World Cup in Germany. He is called another superstar after Zidane of France. Although his reputation is not very prominent now, his value has increased by a hundred times, which also makes Chelsea's Abramovich and Mourinho regret it so much that their intestines are green.

It was only one month away. If they had waited another month, Ribery's current value would be at least around 20 million euros. But a month ago, they almost treated the French winger as cabbage in the vegetable market and gave him directly to Tottenham Hotspur, which made Tottenham Hotspur fans so happy that they almost lost their minds.

Ye Qiu was not surprised by this. He deliberately talked to Abramovich before the World Cup. Even if Abramovich did not agree to the exchange conditions at that time, as long as he was willing to sell, Ye Qiu would definitely buy it, because he knew Ribery's strength very well.

Similarly, he was also very clear about the strength of Van Persie, Messi, Fabregas and others, so he gave very high evaluations when introducing these four players, believing that they would become the core players of Tottenham Hotspur in the future.

All Tottenham Hotspur fans at the scene were shocked by Ye Qiu's big hand. Not only them, but everyone at the scene, including those political and business celebrities, including those well-informed reporters, were obviously shocked and shocked.

When Tottenham Hotspur announced that it had reached a sponsorship contract with Adidas and Vodafone for the new season and announced that the contract amounts of the two sponsorships were both 10 million euros per year, everyone was surprised at the operational capabilities of Ye Qiu and his team, because these two sponsors are both top-tier giants.

To use the words of Tottenham Hotspur fans, in normal times, they would not even bother with Tottenham Hotspur, but now they have signed sponsorship contracts with Tottenham Hotspur. All of this was brought by Ye Qiu and his team, especially with such a generous sponsorship fee, which was really not easy.

Originally, they thought that the team was busy buying land and negotiating sponsorships, and should be weak in signing and selling players, but now it seems that this is obviously not the case. The club's progress in signing and selling players has not lagged behind, and everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.

You know, Ye Qiu started planning to acquire a team a year ago and started preparing for it half a year ago.

After announcing the joining of these stars, Ye Qiu also announced several transfers, some of which were amazing, such as the introduction of Arbeloa from Real Madrid.

No one knows how strong this youth training defender of Real Madrid is, but Ye Qiu has high hopes for him.

At the same time, Tottenham Hotspur also introduced the main central defender Vincent Kompany from Anderlecht in Belgium.

This Belgian central defender has long been famous in the past few years and is regarded as the future hope of Europe. He has also attracted competition and competition from many giants, but no one has made a move. Most of them are still waiting and watching. Ye Qiu announced that he will be introduced to Tottenham Hotspur.

There are also Italian midfielder Lucas Leiva from Brazil, English rookie Carroll from Newcastle, rookie Gareth Bale from Southampton, young winger Ashley Young who performed well in the Championship last season from Watford, and young goalkeeper Joe Hart.

These transfers were dazzling and left everyone present dumbfounded, because they found that Tottenham Hotspur was bound to be completely reorganized in the new season and would become younger.

But just when everyone thought Ye Qiu was going to play the young card, Ye Qiu invited another person to the stage, a person who shocked everyone in the audience, that is, the Dutch striker who ranked second only to Arsenal striker Henry in the Premier League scorer list last season, the world's top powerful center, Ruud van Nistelrooy.

This powerful striker who was linked to Real Madrid actually joined the White Hart Lane Stadium, which really shocked everyone and made everyone doubt that this must be a transfer finalized by Ye Qiu himself, otherwise, who else could attract a top shooter like Ruud van Nistelrooy to join?

In fact, in his subsequent speech, Van Nistelrooy also said that Ye Qiu was the main reason for his joining Tottenham Hotspur. He has always wanted to play under Ye Qiu because he firmly believes that Ye Qiu is the best head coach in the world.

The shock brought by Van Nistelrooy could not be calmed for a long time, but while everyone at the scene was still immersed in the shock brought by Van Nistelrooy, Ye Qiu announced that Tottenham Hotspur had several heavyweight transfers!

For a moment, everyone in the White Hart Lane stadium went crazy!

When happiness comes too suddenly and too much, you will really go crazy!
