The Godfather of Football

In fact, Ye Qiu really put on a defensive counterattack stance at Stratford Stadium.

It's just that Tottenham Hotspur is Tottenham Hotspur after all. Even when playing defensive counterattack, they play differently.

At the beginning of the second round of the match between the two sides, Tottenham Hotspur took advantage of their home court to launch a round of indiscriminate bombing against Atletico Madrid. As a result, Vidal's goal helped Tottenham Hotspur take the lead. Score a goal.

The total score was 3:0, and Tottenham almost killed the game.

After that, Ye Qiu's team began to practice their pre-match characteristics at Stratford Stadium for a long time. There was a full training session of defensive counterattacks, hoping to lure Atletico Madrid out of its hole.

But who knew, this snake didn't dare to come out of the hole.

The two sides remained in a stalemate until the second half. Atletico Madrid finally attacked, but soon Tottenham Hotspur counterattacked twice in the 53rd and 59th minutes. Lewandowski and Ribey They scored goals respectively to help Tottenham Hotspur lock the score at 3:0, and then lock the total score at 5:0, killing the game in advance!

Simeone was mentally prepared for such a result, because he failed to gain enough advantage in the first round. On the contrary, Atletico Madrid lost 0:2 at home in the first round and fell into a tragic and embarrassing situation, so he wanted to reverse it in the second round. The difficulty is almost impossible, but Simeone still feels unwilling to do so.

Because Tottenham Hotspur are so shameless!

Therefore, after the second round of the game, at the press conference at Stratford Stadium, Simeone complained sourly to reporters, thinking that Tottenham Hotspur played too conservatively and was not at all Like a top wealthy team.

"I have always looked at this game with a very calm eye. I think that out of the entire 90-minute game, Tottenham Hotspur only played well in 20 of them. Most of the other games were pretty good. The time was similar to ours, but they were luckier and scored when they were playing well.”

"Our players are indeed very tired. Our lineup limits our ability to fight on multiple fronts. Just like in the league, we have to give our best in every game in La Liga, but Tottenham Hot Spurs were able to use substitutes in all the games before the Champions League, so they performed better, of course.”

"If I can arrange a full substitute lineup in the weekend league and beat the opponent 2:0, then I believe my players will perform better in this game, but unfortunately, I don't have such a chance. resource!"

What Simeone was talking about was the 36th round of the Premier League. Ye Qiu arranged for a full substitute lineup to play in this game. Even the goalkeeper was replaced by Ji Wen, but Tottenham Hotspur was still away from home 2: Defeated Stoke City 0.

Today's competition for the La Liga title is fierce, so after Atletico Madrid played the first round, they played another league game in midweek, and then challenged Stratford Stadium away. Therefore, they are in this continuous battle. , the physical energy consumption is indeed greater, and they do not have enough bench thickness.

"Yes, it is indeed very regrettable to stop in the semi-finals and not be able to go further, but I think that all Atletico Madrid people should not shed tears because we have tried our best and we have played for every game. We have put in all the efforts and we have a clear conscience!”

"I want to congratulate Tottenham Hotspur. They are indeed very good and very competitive. They should advance to the final!"

"At the same time, I also want to tell my players that our game is not over yet. We have to work hard for the league championship. We are a competitive team and we should end our season with a championship. , we should forget about the Champions League and get into the battle for the league title!”

Ye Qiu was interviewed just after Simeone. He always ignored Simeone's envy-filled remarks and expressed his appreciation for Atletico Madrid's achievements this season.

"The semi-finals of the Copa del Rey, the semi-finals of the Champions League, and now the top favorites in La Liga. I think Simeone and his Atletico Madrid have undoubtedly achieved very amazing achievements this season. They should be proud of it. I believe They can have a happy ending in La Liga, this is what they deserve!”

In fact, one of the problems of Atletico Madrid this season is that the front line is too wide. They reached the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey, but were defeated by Real Madrid 5:0 in the two rounds. The league is currently the leader, but it failed to win early. They have established an advantage, but they are still stuck in the quagmire. They have reached the semi-finals of the Champions League, but there is also a physical crisis.

To put it bluntly, if you take too many steps, you will easily lose your temper. This is the case with Atletico Madrid right now.

But no matter what, Ye Qiu feels that Simeone's season deserves recognition, and even if Atletico Madrid has nothing in the end and ends up empty-handed, it shouldn't be insulted. It can only be said that they are limited by the lineup.

Once upon a time, La Liga was also a giant in La Liga, but now it is flourishing in the hands of Simeone. Ye Qiu believes that this is an opportunity. If Atletico Madrid's management can seize this opportunity well, there may be hope. Can lead Atletico Madrid to complete its revival and break the monopoly of La Liga by the Spanish Super League duo.

But if the management continues to be short-sighted, then today's Atletico Madrid will be like Super Lak, Bats and Real Sociedad at the turn of the century, all of which are just passing through.

For any giant, even a strong team, to improve its strength and influence, it takes a long time to accumulate and settle. One season cannot explain anything. Even for Tottenham Hotspur, Ye Qiu has only now, especially in the past two years, been confident enough to shout out the slogan of a giant.

And it took a total of six or seven years from the time Ye Qiu took over to the time he felt that he had established Tottenham Hotspur's status as a giant.

A giant team cannot be established overnight, nor can it be destroyed overnight, so even if Atletico Madrid really restrained Barcelona and Real Madrid this season and won the league championship, the two giants of the Spanish Super League will definitely make a comeback in the next season.

Therefore, the next season will be the biggest test for Atletico Madrid!

…………

After Tottenham Hotspur defeated Atletico Madrid 3-0 at home and then eliminated Atletico Madrid with a total score of 5-0, Real Madrid lost to Dortmund 0-2 away, but still eliminated the Hornets with a total score of 3-2 and successfully advanced to the final.

In this way, the Champions League final became a strong duel between the two most influential giants in the world, and these two teams are full of superstars.

Real Madrid has superstars such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Cavani, Gareth Bale, David Silva, etc., and Tottenham Hotspur also has top superstars such as Messi, Ribery, Lewandowski, etc. This Champions League final is called the most gorgeous Champions League final in history.

After the second round of the Champions League semi-finals, Tottenham Hotspur returned to the Premier League and narrowly defeated West Ham United 2-1 away. Drogba scored the winning goal for Tottenham Hotspur.

A week later, Tottenham Hotspur defeated Aston Villa 3-0 at home.

In this way, Tottenham Hotspur won the Premier League championship in the 2013/2014 Premier League with an impressive record of 37 wins and 1 loss, breaking the Premier League single-season goal record and points record and other legendary records. This is Tottenham Hotspur's sixth consecutive Premier League championship.

There is no doubt that Tottenham Hotspur's dominance over the Premier League is unquestionable. Even rivals Benítez and Mourinho have to admit that with Tottenham Hotspur's current strong strength, to challenge the team's dominance, it can only rely on time or Tottenham Hotspur's own mistakes.

In the eyes of many people, Ye Qiu's retirement and Mauro Tassotti's succession are undoubtedly the hidden dangers of Tottenham Hotspur's mistakes.

After receiving the Premier League trophy at Stratford Stadium, Tottenham Hotspur did not celebrate too much, because for the team, the most important thing next is the FA Cup and the Champions League final.

Relatively speaking, the FA Cup looks more like a warm-up for the Champions League final, so after the 38th round of the Premier League, there are still two weeks before the Champions League final, and Tottenham Hotspur is carefully preparing for the training of the Champions League final.

But in the 37th round of La Liga, Ye Qiu appeared at the Balaidos Stadium in Vigo, Spain with Mauro Tassotti, and watched a La Liga match on the spot. As a result, Celta beat Real Madrid 2:0 at home.

Ye Qiu left the stands in advance without even watching the whole game, but he did not leave the stadium as mentioned in many newspapers, but was invited to the box by Florentino who noticed his arrival. The topic of discussion was about Messi, because many people have now captured a message, that is, Messi of Tottenham Hotspur can be sold.

The player himself also wants to leave Tottenham, but he does not plan to transfer to other Premier League teams. This is the request made by Messi's father when communicating with Tottenham. Messi hopes to go to other leagues to accept fresh stimulation, and he hopes to have the opportunity to return to Tottenham at the end of his career.

Tottenham affirmed the request made by Messi and his father, saying that Tottenham is Messi's home regardless of whether he transfers or not, but in the transfer negotiations, both parties have to temporarily put aside their feelings and discuss more interests, especially commercial interests.

The news that Messi is leaving the team has long been disclosed in newspapers. With the end of the league, it has been increasingly valued by the outside world, and the media has also become more and more hyped, especially Messi's transfer destination, but everyone knows that Messi has no shortage of interested teams. The key is whether these teams can afford the price.

As Peter Kenyon guessed, as soon as Florentino heard that Messi could transfer, he immediately persuaded sponsors Adidas and Emirates Airlines, because the two sponsors, Adidas is also a sponsor of Tottenham Hotspur, and they did not want Messi to go to Nike's team, so Real Madrid's move was the most ideal.

Emirates Airline and Tottenham Hotspur's main sponsor Qatar Airways are also competitors. Messi has switched to Real Madrid. This means that Real Madrid has an extremely gorgeous frontcourt attacking formation. Cristiano? With the three superstars of Ronaldo, Messi and Cavani, plus Gareth Bale, David Silva, Xabi Alonso and other superstars, Real Madrid’s lineup will be incredibly gorgeous. .

After Florentino received the affirmation of sponsors and the support of banks, he bluntly stated in his communication with Ye Qiu that Real Madrid was willing to offer a transfer fee of more than 200 million euros for Messi, that is, He said that Messi's transfer price negotiation starts from 200 million euros, and we will see how high it can be negotiated.

Ye Qiu also said frankly that neither Messi nor the club are opposed to the transfer, but the specific transfer matters are handled by the club, so Florentino should talk to Peter Kenyon.

Florentino was satisfied with the result of this conversation, because at least he got a clear answer from Ye Qiu, that is, Messi is for sale. As long as this is clear, the matter will be much easier to handle. The big deal is Price issues.

Messi is only 26 years old, in his golden years as a professional player, and he has already won the Ballon d'Or and World Player of the Year for four years. He can be called the number one player in today's football. Such a superstar is Money can't buy it, so it doesn't matter how expensive it is, as long as you can buy it, it's worth it!

Ye Qiu also gained a lot from his career, not so much from the negotiations with Florentino, but from Real Madrid.

Real Madrid's current problem is a bit like Tottenham Hotspur's in March. At that time, Tottenham Hotspur won the championship early and the team fell into a state of slackness, so they played badly in the game and lost consecutively. Southampton and the brutal draw with Bayern Munich made Ye Qiu very dissatisfied.

The same is true for Real Madrid now, so in this key championship battle, they unexpectedly lost 0:2 to Celta Vigo. For Real Madrid, this is definitely a mistake that should not happen. I can only say , there is a problem with the mental outlook of this team.

Moreover, Ramos performed poorly in this game. He performed well against Dortmund, but was sluggish when he returned to the league. This may have something to do with his mentality.

Judging from the current performance of Real Madrid, at least it is quite different from what Florentino said before, his determination to fight to the death for the tenth Champions League championship.

A week later, Tottenham Hotspur easily defeated Hull City 4:0 in the FA Cup final and won their third championship trophy this season. Ye Qiu even made a bold statement after the game. While winning the fourth crown, Real Madrid's performance also improved, defeating Espanyol 3:1 at home, drawing a pretty good ending to this season's La Liga.

After thirty-eight rounds, Atletico Madrid finally won the La Liga championship.

After being eliminated from the Champions League, Simeone's team performed very vigorously in La Liga and it is reasonable to win the championship.

In the last round, Tottenham Hotspur arranged for Peter Devisser and Mauro Tassotti to come to the Bernabeu Stadium to watch the game, along with team CEO Peter Kenyon, but the latter Appeared in the Bernabeu box, met with Florentino, and the two sides conducted their first negotiation on Messi's transfer.

This meeting was also reported on the day after the game. Spain's Marca newspaper was the first to disclose it. Daily Sports, which is close to Barcelona, ​​also reported the inside story. For a while, many Barcelona fans were making appeals, hoping that Barcelona could transfer Mei. West brought him back to Camp Nou rather than letting him move to rivals Real Madrid.

In this regard, Barcelona President Russell said in an interview that introducing Messi is a very tempting decision, "But I don't think Messi's transfer fee should exceed 200 million euros. I think that is a very, very outrageous No team can accept the price, including Real Madrid!”

But soon, Gazzetta dello Sport published news that Florentino’s transfer offer for Peter Kenyon started from 200 million euros. In other words, no matter how the transfer negotiations continue, Messi The transfer fee will be more than 200 million euros.

At the same time, in order to stabilize and appease Cristiano Ronaldo, Real Madrid will also consider controlling the Argentine's salary at the same level as Cristiano Ronaldo after the introduction of Messi.

Gazzetta dello Sport's report is undoubtedly a slap in the face to Russell. Even Mundo Deportivo, which is close to Barcelona, ​​ridiculed Russell, saying that players like Messi should not be measured by money and value, and Barcelona should do its best to recall him. Messi.

But soon, the German newspaper Bild also published news that Bayern Munich was also interested in participating in Messi's competition. Guardiola attached great importance to this player and believed that Messi's arrival could completely solve Bayern Munich's frontcourt offensive problem. It can even improve Bayern Munich's overall strength to another level.

More importantly, Audi and Adidas are willing to pay part of Bayern Munich's huge transfer fee of more than 200 million euros. Coupled with the commercial influence brought by Messi, this deal is for Bayern Munich. Guaranteed profit without loss.

In addition, the British media disclosed that the Abu Dhabi consortium, the behind-the-scenes boss of Manchester City, has already said that it will do its best to win Messi even if it costs 300 million euros, and Newcastle, which is owned by the Qatari consortium, has also announced that it will strive for Messi's joining at all costs.

So, while the war in the four major European leagues has stopped, Messi's transfer has begun in full swing.

This is a game that only the top giants and the rich can participate in. This is not an ordinary transfer. This is a game of spending hundreds of millions of euros. It depends on which rich can finally impress the heart of Messi, the peerless beauty.
