The Godfather of Football
Chapter 374 Get him!
In recent days, Bracciano, a small town in the northern suburbs of Rome, Italy, adjacent to Lake Bracciano, has become the focus of global attention because many superstars from Hollywood have gathered here.
Jennifer Lopez, Jim Carrey, Will Smith, etc., so many Hollywood superstars gathered in such a small town. This is indeed a very rare scene, and it also attracted the attention of all entertainment media around the world. Because Tom Cruise will hold his wedding at the Odeskar Ridge Castle in this town.
And this group of Hollywood superstars came just to attend his wedding.
In fact, even before the wedding date arrived, media and entertainment reporters had already begun to capture some clues about this so-called wedding of the year, such as how many superstars, political and business celebrities were among the invited guests, etc., and In fact, Tom Cruise didn't invite too many guests, he just invited some friends he knew well.
As common friends of Tom Cruise and his wife, Beckham and Victoria were naturally among the invitees. After all, Beckham is the godfather of Tom Cruise’s daughter Suri. Good friends got married, and the Beckhams Of course it's impossible not to.
Moreover, it is a good opportunity for them to be able to appear in such a grand wedding with a large number of stars. I believe that almost everyone who came to the scene had the same idea, including Tom Cruise. Mr. and Mrs. Sri Lanka.
Sometimes, as a celebrity, every move you make attracts the attention of the media and reporters, but at the same time it also brings you shocking benefits, depending on how you view and use it.
Beckham wore a classic black dress, while Victoria wore a more revealing see-through dress. As soon as the couple appeared, they quickly attracted the attention of the guests. However, their influence in Hollywood is actually not great, and they were present They are all superstars, and the media are shut out, so there are no groupies.
Just as the Beckhams and Tom Cruise were talking, they saw a person walking in from the door. This person was wearing a simple and elegant white dress, and his white arms and slender legs were exposed to the air. , even the female stars on the scene had to marvel at the golden ratio of her arms and legs.
There is no decoration or dress on the whole body, except for two wrist chains casually tied on both hands and wrists. There is an elegant and calm smile on the corner of the mouth with a delicate face embedded in the vertical blond hair. It's very impressive, even more dazzling than those female celebrities wearing heavy makeup.
This immediately made all the men present involuntarily exclaim from the depths of their hearts. This woman proved with facts that a truly beautiful and classy woman does not need heavy makeup, she only needs to dress and dress in a way that suits her best, and that is enough!
"Congratulations, Tom and Katie!" The woman walked up to the home of the newlyweds and congratulated them with a smile.
"Thank you, Eliza!" Tom Cruise smiled and nodded, "You looked stunning tonight!"
"That must be because you haven't seen Katie put on a wedding dress!" Eliza Moon smiled and hugged the bride.
Eliza Moon's appearance immediately attracted a lot of attention at the wedding scene. Whether it was Hollywood superstars or invited American political and business people from all walks of life, they were all very familiar with her. This made Eliza immediately become the focus of the wedding scene. The center of attention, and she seemed to be comfortable with such an occasion.
"Who is she?" Victoria didn't know this woman.
Tom Cruise's new wife Katie Holmes smiled and held Victoria's hand and looked at Eliza. Even as a woman, she was full of envy, even jealousy, of this outstanding woman, because Anyone who knows her knows that she is not only stunningly beautiful, but also has enviable intelligence and skill.
"CEO of Leaf Technology, Eliza Moon!"
"Oh, it's her!" Beckham suddenly realized after listening.
"David, do you know him?" Katie asked with a smile.
David Beckham shook his head, "I don't know her, but I have heard of her. She is Ye Qiu's agent. Her agency is now very large, and we have many players under her command in the Real Madrid team. , I heard that she has very strong operational skills, has helped some players make a lot of money, and has good relationships with major sponsors.”
Katie laughed after hearing this, "In the United States, they all say that Ye Qiu is a genius, but geniuses always do strange things. For example, he bought a football team for no reason and became the head coach himself, so they often say, Geniuses also need a nanny, and Eliza Moon is Ye Qiu’s nanny. Without her, Ye Qiu’s technology would not be what it is today!”
The name of Leaf Technology may have been unknown two or three years ago, and not many people knew it a year ago. But in less than a year, if someone says that they don’t know Leaf Technology or Zeus Mobile , then the other party will definitely despise you more than their middle finger, because they are the most popular company in the world in the past year.
"Oh, I've heard of her!" Victoria also suddenly realized that she had seen her photo in the New York Times, but she just forgot about it at that time and was not too impressed. She turned to her husband, "David, she Also an agent?”
"Well, and she's now the chief executive of Tottenham Hotspur," Beckham said.
After hearing this, Victoria couldn't help but smile. She is from North London, and their famous Beckingham Palace is in Hertford, so of course she has heard of the North London team Tottenham. Tottenham Hotspur.
Eliza's way of doing things was just like her dress, simple and capable, but full of charming charm. There were many people surrounding her throughout the wedding. After all, as a single and unmarried woman like her, she would always be It is the target of capture by some men.
After finally taking some time, I walked out of the castle and looked at Lake Bracciano in the distance, feeling relaxed and happy.
The castle is at a high place, and overlooking Lake Bracciano from the top of the castle is indeed unique, especially in Italy where winter has already begun.
"Don't you feel cold?" Victoria smiled and appeared behind Eliza.
Eliza smiled and shook her head, "I have lived in the Netherlands for a long time and am used to the cold!" After a pause, she smiled gracefully and stretched out her hand, "Hello, Eliza Moon!"
"Victoria Beckham!" Victoria gently held her hand and introduced herself.
"I know, nice to meet you!" Eliza said with a smile.
The two of them were talking outside the castle, but the men inside the castle frequently looked at them. It didn't matter that Victoria was a married woman, but Eliza Moon was wearing a pure white dress, with her blond hair fluttering in the wind, and her clothes were elegant. She looked like an elf goddess descending from the sky, so moving that many men in the castle were salivating.
But the two of them didn't realize it at all and were talking and laughing outside.
"If you want to come to the United States to develop, you can call me at any time if you need help!" Eliza smiled.
"Thank you!" Victoria smiled and nodded.
When Eliza said this, she looked at Beckham in the castle, shook her head and said: "But I am also an agent, and I understand very well that as a player, the most important core is football. On the field, the United States obviously cannot provide David with everything that Europe can provide, so I am not optimistic about his development in the United States!”
"And you should also know that his most important and core value is football, the European Cup, the World Cup, and then the London Olympics. The next few years will be his highlight. If he goes to the United States, he will miss too much, and maybe even It will affect his future in the national team.”
After hearing this, Victoria thought for a while, "This is only one of our choices. Our first choice is to stay in Real Madrid, so we are not considering the invitation from the United States for the time being!"
Eliza didn't say much more, but she did receive news that American teams were unwilling to pay Beckham's transfer fee, and even the salary couldn't match that of Real Madrid, because the American Major League had a salary cap. , You cannot unscrupulously offer high wages for signings, so if Beckham goes to the United States, he can only transfer freely after the contract expires, and he must take a salary cut.
Of course, they didn't want to talk more, and Eliza didn't need to say more, so these things just passed.
While Tom Cruise was holding his wedding, Tottenham Hotspur defeated visiting Port Vale 4:1 at home and successfully reached the quarterfinals of the League Cup, making everyone shout that Tottenham Hotspur were lucky. Unfortunately, their opponent in the quarterfinals is Southend, a team from the relegation zone of the English Championship.
This is not a simple team, because they eliminated Ferguson's Red Devils Manchester United at home.
A team in the relegation zone of the English Championship unexpectedly eliminated the Red Devils Manchester United at the top of the Premier League in the League Cup. This is indeed a very surprising thing, and scored the only goal for Southend. It's their striker Freddy Eastwood.
This player was also discovered along with this goal. It turned out that he made his debut at West Ham United, but failed to play in the professional league. Later, he sold second-hand cars with his father and occasionally played a dozen Sunday league games. That was it. An amateur match was held on the weekend, and then he joined the amateur team Grays. Because of his outstanding performance at Grays, he was spotted by fourth-level Southend.
Since the 2004/05 season, Freddie Eastwood has been promoted with Southend for two consecutive years, from League Two to the Championship. Eastwood's performance is also very good, but this season he It should be difficult to create another miracle with the team, but Freddy Eastwood will definitely become famous with this game, after all, he is only 23 years old.
Ye Qiu didn't pay too much attention to Eastwood. Apart from the fact that this player had no chance of playing for Tottenham Hotspur, every year in England's League Cup and FA Cup, players like Freddy ?There are so many players like Eastwood that Ye Qiu cannot pay attention to them one by one.
After returning to the Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur immediately went to an away game to challenge Reading. Hangeland took advantage of a free kick opportunity in the frontcourt and opened the scoring for Tottenham Hotspur with a header, which made Ye Qiu very sure. The team must find a suitable set-piece master so that they can maximize Hangeland's header and height advantages and make Tottenham Hotspur's set-pieces more threatening.
Don't underestimate set kicks. You don't score many goals, but the question is, when your set kicks become a headache for your opponents, do they still dare to foul you easily in their own half?
Sometimes, a team's offensive weapons complement each other. If they are too single, it will be easy to defend.
Just like in this game, Reading frequently committed fouls not long after the opening. As a result, after Tottenham Hotspur scored a set kick, they immediately restrained themselves, followed closely by Tottenham Hotspur with Ruud Ruud. And Franck Ribery's goal defeated Reading 3:1 away from home, which also raised Tottenham Hotspur's league ranking to 11th.
But a week later, Tottenham Hotspur challenged Blackburn on the field, and the two sides eventually tied with 1:1.
Ruud van Nistelrooy's goal put Tottenham Hotspur ahead for a long time, but Yaya Toure was intercepted after dribbling the ball in the midfield. Blackburn counterattacked. Bentley got the ball and passed the ball long. The forward who joined from Porto this season Bennie McCarthy quickly passed through Tottenham Hotspur's defense and succeeded in the counterattack, 1:1!
After the game, almost all the media were making fun of Ye Qiu, saying that Mourinho's old players were helping Mourinho make trouble against Tottenham Hotspur, because McCarthy was Mourinho's favorite player when he was in Porto. , and the South African forward's performance in the Premier League this season is also very eye-catching, and he is Blackburn's number one forward.
But the misfortune obviously doesn't end there. In the third game of the UEFA Cup group stage away to Leverkusen in midweek, Tottenham Hotspur suffered a goal from Leverkusen at the beginning. The problem still lies in In the midfield, almost the same routine as Blackburn, stealing the ball in the midfield and quickly counterattacking, but Ribery's goal equalized the score, still 1:1!
This made Ye Qiu feel annoyed, but he also made up his mind. During the winter break, he must introduce a midfielder to adjust the team, and he must be the kind of player who can play immediately. Only in this way, Tottenham Hot San Antonio only has hope this season, otherwise, it will definitely be dragged down by its stupidity at the beginning of the season.
Yes, even after returning to London from Germany, Ye Qiu still did not blame the players for two consecutive draws. Instead, he conducted self-reflection in an internal meeting and believed that it was his own mistakes that caused the team to lose points and goals.
Of course, he wouldn't say that he misjudged Davis and Yaya Toure. Such words are not what a head coach should say at all. He just said that he was deploying troops and some targeted tactics, and even A mistake was made in on-the-spot command.
But he didn't say it. The players themselves knew clearly, even Davis and Yaya Toure, how they performed. Therefore, the team's internal morale was not shaken by consecutive draws. Instead, everyone was paying attention. Looking forward to whether Tottenham Hotspur can make up for this shortcoming through transfer during the winter break.
If there is hope, there will be motivation!
Three days later, Tottenham Hotspur defeated Wigan 4:1 at home at White Hart Lane with Ruud van Nistelrooy's brace, Yaya Toure and Messi's goals. Despite his frustration, he also successfully pushed his league ranking to tenth place, while Wigan dropped from the original tenth place to eleventh place.
The outside media seems to have become numb to Tottenham Hotspur's performance this season. To use the Guardian's comment, this is a team with great fluctuations in performance, giving people a sense of lack of stability. But this is definitely not a team that has any hope of qualifying for the Champions League, because the gap between them and the top four is too big.
Martin Samuel also feels that Tottenham Hotspur's performance has been ups and downs, which is indeed very unstable, and this team has either won or lost in the previous fourteen rounds of the league, with only three draws. , this is indeed a very unreasonable data.
"We all know that a stable point-getting strategy is an important basis for a team to occupy a good ranking in the league standings. Everyone believes in the principle that when they perform well, they must strive to win, and when they perform poorly, they must strive to win. We have to strive for points, so wins and draws are very important for a team that wants to climb the table.”
"But Tottenham Hotspur's current performance gives people the impression that they will either win or lose, and as long as you look at the number of goals they score and the number of goals they concede, you will find that, in fact, they Their offensive ability is enough to rank them at the top of the Premier League, and the number of goals they concede is actually not too many.”
"Such a number of goals scored and conceded should have allowed this team to be ranked at the top, but what is strange is that they are ranked outside the tenth place and have only three pitiful draws. This has to be said. A very strange thing.”
"Perhaps, we must remind Ye Qiu that playing hearty offensive football is indeed very important, and it also pleases many Tottenham Hotspur fans, but what everyone pays more attention to is the league ranking, so he should let himself and The team has become more pragmatic and even puts down its body to play defensive counterattacks.”
In the Daily Mail's street survey, a large number of fans, whether Tottenham Hotspur fans or non-Tottenham Hotspur fans, feel that Tottenham Hotspur's poor ranking this season is due to two factors. It was Ye Qiu who insisted on attacking football, and the other was that Ye Qiu had not been able to determine the midfield configuration.
From Davis to Yaya Toure, Lucas and Huddlestone were also tried in several games, but Tottenham Hotspur's midfield has changed, but it has never been reassuring and reliable. Satisfied, while players in other positions, especially Cesc Fabregas and Mascherano who are also in the midfield, are performing better and better. As they become more mature, the weakness of the third midfielder becomes Being exposed to the fullest.
As a result, the outside world began to pay attention to whether Tottenham Hotspur will make signings during the winter break to improve this shortcoming in the midfield.
Ye Qiu also prepared a list early and asked Tottenham Hotspur's scouts to pay attention and submit a report. This list includes Luka Modric, who currently plays for Zagdinamo in the Croatian League, Wesley Sneijder, a Dutch midfielder who plays for Real Madrid, and Felipe Melo, who plays for Santander Racing.
But among all the lists, the one Ye Qiu wanted the most was him!
