PS2: Continue to catch a cold, headache and brain fever, code word turtle speed......

With one draw and one defeat in both games, this is the result of the first round of the season between George Nelson and his two teachers. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info may seem a bit out of the way, but let's not forget that Tottenham were defeated against Newcastle thanks to a controversial penalty from Alan Shearer, and against Manchester United, they were led by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in the last minute to lose their win. Therefore, considering the above two points, this report card handed over by Tottenham is not so unacceptable.

However, the British media, who are afraid of chaos in the world, will obviously not consider this aspect of the problem, and they will only grasp the topic of Tottenham's two consecutive league defeats and make a big fuss about it. In the pen and reports of these media outlets, Tottenham Hotspur, who have only lost two league games so far and conceded only 13 goals, is now on the wane, as if any team can press Tottenham to the ground and rub it!

Compared with these British media, who are talking about Tottenham's two consecutive league defeats, Tottenham fans seem much calmer at this time. Despite the team's poor performance in the last two league games, they have not expressed any dissatisfaction with it. After all, Tottenham's performance this season has been a big surprise to fans compared to previous seasons.

With 17 league games now in place, Tottenham are currently fourth in the table with nine wins, six draws and two defeats with 33 points, and have a good chance of securing a ticket to the European Champions League at the end of the season. With Newcastle and Tottenham, who are currently fifth in the league, an eight-point gap between them, it is not something that can be done right away, even if the Magpies try to catch up.

And, although Tottenham's league standings have not changed from previous rounds and the results of the last two rounds have been somewhat sluggish, the difference between Tottenham and the top three teams is not so big that it is out of reach. Even Manchester United, who are currently at the top of the table, have only 38 points.

Although George said on the day he announced his arrival at White Hart Lane that he would lead Tottenham out of the trough since the 90s and become the top club in Europe, Tottenham fans never expected that they would see the glimmer of hope so soon - to be honest, after seeing the club's moves in the summer transfer market, they all thought that it would take at least three years or so for the team to join the ranks of the championship group and ten years before they could consider becoming a top giant.

While the British media hyped that Tottenham was about to be beaten back to its original shape, and Tottenham was calm, George was in his office at Tottenham Hotspur's headquarters, greeting a special "guest".

"Adele, this time the plan of action can be completed so smoothly, thanks to your help!" In the office, George looked at the girl in front of him with the same hair color as him with a smile on his face, "It's really my sister, let's say, what reward do you want this time?"

Adele Nelson, that's the name of the girl with long bright blond hair sitting in front of George. Five years younger than George, she now has a master's degree in economics from Columbia University, and a few days ago helped George with a long-planned mission to turn Parma into a satellite club of Tottenham Hotspur!

George has long coveted Parma, which is known for its development of young players, and its youth system, which has contributed countless outstanding stars, but it is not easy to win the club completely. You know, at this time, Parmalat, which controls Parma FC, is in a serious financial crisis and needs to sell Parma's players in exchange for the liquidity they desperately need. Therefore, the cost and price of George's choice to acquire Parma at this time is quite enormous.

Moreover, in the intricate Italian football world, if the news of Parma's crisis is leaked, I don't know how many heroes will immediately rush out and take the opportunity to carve up and dismember Parma's youth training system that has taken more than ten years to build. Therefore, in George's original plan, he originally planned to wait until December when the financial problems of Parmalat broke out, and take the opportunity to take the company into the pocket, so as to complete the full control of Parma.

However, when George actually intervened in the matter, he was shocked to find that Parmalat's financial problems were much more serious than he had imagined - according to the investigation, the company's debt was not the 4 billion euros it claimed to be at all, but the even more terrifying 14.3 billion euros!

This change instantly disrupted all of George's set-ups. In George's vision, he had intended to use the profits he had made from shorting Parmalat shares in the futures market to acquire Parmalat Corporation. As a result, it is now found that compared with the tens of billions of euros of debt of Parmalat Company, the part of the income he obtained by shorting stocks is not enough to plug his teeth!

In this way, George's acquisition of the Parma club reached an impasse. Because the Parmalat company, which is in an extremely difficult financial situation, will definitely not give up such a cash cow as Parma, George wants to buy Parma now, he will definitely be slaughtered by the other party, and if he waits until Parmalat goes bankrupt before doing it, I am afraid that the assets of Parma will have been divided up by those powerful people at that time.

And if he gave up the acquisition of Parma like this, George was also a little unwilling. Stripped of the part of the nostalgia for Parma in his previous life, the Serie A club will play a very important role in George's plan to play a very important role in Tottenham's path to the top giants. After all, there are not many options like Parma that can take sole control (Germany does not allow private ownership of more than 49% of the club), have European competitions to play (think of the young men who are famous but have not been able to compete in European competitions for many years), and can cast a net around the world (Athletic Bilbao only brings in players of Basque origin).

The most important thing is that Italy has always attached great importance to developing the defensive and tactical literacy of its players, and Parma, who are good at developing young players, is naturally the best among them. Therefore, Parma are an excellent addition to Tottenham, who are sorely lacking in both areas!

Just when the takeover was in a dilemma, Adele stepped forward to take over the task from George, and for less than $100 million, bought all of Parma's shares from Parmalat, turning the Serie A club into another Trafalgar asset.

Of course, in order to prevent UEFA from investigating or even blocking the acquisition in the name of obstructing fair play, Adele arranged for a number of subsidiaries and subsidiaries controlled by Trafalgar to cross-control Parma, and completed the acquisition of Parma in an extremely complex way.

"Hmm~Let me think about it~" Adele thoughtfully tapped her cheek with her fair and slender fingers, and said, "Why don't you let me be the CEO of Tottenham Hotspur ~ It just so happens that I just got a master's degree in economics from Columbia University, and being the CEO of Tottenham Hotspur is just the right time for me to practice my hands and accumulate work experience~"

"It can't be. George shook his head and resolutely refused the girl's request, "If you are asked to be the CEO of Tottenham, then what will Marotta do? If you fire this CEO who was personally invited to White Hart Lane by me and has been in office for less than half a year, your brother and I will become the laughing stock of fans all over the world." Besides, if you want to gain work experience, you can go to Trafalgar to help John, and there is no need to come here to steal Marotta's job. ”

"Huh~" Seeing George's firm refusal, Adele cut off unhappily. She knew that she would definitely not be able to change the other party's mind: "Then according to what you said, I will go to Trafalgar Company to work in a while~"

"By the way, take this as a reward for your master's degree from Columbia University and for helping me win Parma. Seeing Adele's puffed cheeks and put on a "I'm not happy" expression, George hurriedly took out a card from his arms and put it on the table, "Within two months, you can use this card as you like, and you don't have to worry about repayment." ”

"Hmph~I don't believe your words~" The girl raised her head and responded to George's flattery in a rather arrogant manner, her long golden hair became more dazzling under a few rays of sunlight, and at the same time quickly stretched out her hand and nested the card that George placed on the table in her hand, "However, for the sake of your sincerity, brother, then this time I will reluctantly accept this gift from me, brother~"

Adele recognized at a glance that the credit card that George had given her was a world card issued by Guzi Bank. Only bankers with a net worth of more than millions of pounds and a good enough social and family background are eligible to apply for a credit card, and in addition to all the travel upgrades and luxury services, they can even shop at their favorite department store at midnight!

Therefore, for Adele, George's reward is not invaluable. After all, holding this world card issued by Guzi Bank is a symbol of status and status in itself, and it is not at all comparable to the black card issued by Yuntong Company that can be obtained as long as you have money. But George was willing to lend her this card, which is enough to prove his love and care for Adele.

"Hey, I obviously said that I would lend it to you for two months, how did it become a gift for you?" Seeing his sister put on an expression of nonchalance, but quickly took away the credit card, George pretended to be depressed and said. But the smile on his face was a clear indication that George didn't take the matter to heart at all.

"Huh~ Brother, you're really stingy. Although she knew in her heart that the other party didn't care at all, this did not prevent Adele from continuing to complain to George, "By the way, brother, it's Christmas soon, don't you plan to go home alone for the holidays this year, right?"
