For Tottenham Hotspur now, when it comes to bringing in target players, George and Marotta's biggest concern is not the financial problem, but whether they will meet those big clubs. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 After all, in order to avoid conflicts between new and old players in the squad or seriously disrupt the existing salary structure of the team, Tottenham's deep pockets are often only reflected in the transfer fees paid when bringing in players. Although the treatment offered to players is also considered first-class in European football, in general, Tottenham's salary structure is not much higher than other teams of the same era as Manchester City in the previous life, but basically remains at the same level, so as not to cause other clubs to resent it because of the disruption of the existing order.

Since they don't want to give players wages that disrupt the existing football order and make Tottenham the target of public criticism, it is naturally difficult for Tottenham to occupy an advantage that is enough to impress the other party in the negotiation process with the players themselves.

Therefore, for the introduction of Robben from PSV Eindhoven this time, George will seem so relieved. Because those top giants who have the ability to overpower Tottenham in terms of appeal cannot really get involved in this transfer for various reasons this time, at best, they can only stir it up and help the seller club raise the price.

And the club that is interested in Robben and has the ability to take away the Dutchman, in addition to Tottenham, is currently the only Chelsea controlled by Roman Abramovich.

Due to George's involvement in Robben's transfer, Chelsea did not acquire the Dutch Peter Pan before the start of the European Championship as in previous lives, but was delayed by PSV Eindhoven until now - with Tottenham Hotspur competing, PSV Eindhoven naturally wanted to sell Robben for a better price.

The reason why Robben was sold to Chelsea by PSV Eindhoven before the start of the European Championship was mainly because the Dutch suffered a serious Achilles tendon injury before the European Championship, which made the Eindhoven club not optimistic about Robben's prospects in the European Cup, which allowed Chelsea to pick up a bargain. And now, with George's intervention and the addition of the European Cup, Robben's transfer fee is bound to be more expensive than in his previous life!

Although the Eindhoven club played the abacus with a clang, they were disappointed by the development of the situation - in the semi-finals of the European Championship on June 26, facing the host Portugal team, the orange team with the four central strikers of Ruud van Nistelrooy, Kluivert, Roy Mackay and Van Hoijtenk actually fell into an embarrassing situation of lack of goal, and finally lost by a small goal to the opponent and was eliminated by the Portuguese team!

And, despite the fact that the Netherlands lost to Portugal by just one goal at the end of the game, none of the three goals in the game were scored by the Dutchman themselves (Andrade scored an own goal with Portugal leading by two goals). The worst thing is that Robben, who had performed extremely well and was called the new hope of Dutch football by the media, played extremely poorly in this game, and was almost ineffective by Miguel on the opposite side, and was finally replaced by Van Hojtten in the 81st minute.

Robben's poor performance in the semi-finals of the European Championship has made PSV Eindhoven's hierarchy a bit passive in the transfer talks - if the Netherlands lose but Robben continues to perform consistently, then they will have reason to ask for a high price in the negotiations. And now, Robben was completely stared at by such a pawn as Miguel, and Peter Pan's originally hot market fell a lot all of a sudden. There are even some people who have begun to think that Robben may be like the Denelson in Brazil, just a famous, but flashy showman!

The most frustrating thing for PSV Eindhoven was that just as they were about to sit down and talk to Chelsea and Tottenham about Robben's transfer, Chelsea Football Club suddenly said that they did not plan to bring in Robben!

After Chelsea's voluntary withdrawal, only Tottenham Hotspur is left with buyers who are interested in and ready to bring in Robben. In this way, PSV Eindhoven's plan to knock on Robben's transfer can basically be declared frustrated!

After all, Robben was ready to leave the club to play at a higher level. If PSV Eindhoven blocks Robben's transfer on the grounds that the transfer fee does not meet psychological expectations, then Peter Pan, who is very dissatisfied with this, is likely to choose to transfer freely after the contract expires, and the club will suffer even more losses!

"Arneson Manager, a pleasure to work with. In the conference room of the Eindhoven headquarters, Marotta, who finally agreed on the transfer fee for Robben, shook hands with Frank Arneson with a smile on his face, "I hope that there will be more opportunities for cooperation between our two clubs in the future." ”

"It was a pleasure to work with. Marotta Manager. Although he couldn't sell Robben for a higher price, he was able to get back 18 million euros in this transfer, and Tottenham did not take the opportunity to force down the price, Arneson naturally felt quite content, and his tone was quite gentle.

After learning that PSV Eindhoven had agreed to Tottenham's offer, Robben quickly signed a contract for work offered by Tottenham - and after seeing the big scene of the European Championship, he couldn't wait to show his talent on the stage at a higher level!

And so, Alger Robben, the young winger who made a name for himself at the tournament and is the future number one star in Dutch football, became a member of Tottenham Hotspur!

"Roman (Abramovich), thank you so much this time, I owe you a favor. Just when PSV Eindhoven was frustrated by Chelsea's voluntary exit, George was talking to Abramovich on the phone with a smile on his face, "Without your help, I'm afraid we would have to pay more if we wanted to get Robben." ”

"Haha, George, it's nothing at all. Even if I don't make a move this time, I think your Tottenham are much more likely to take Robben than my Chelsea. In that case, then I might as well do a favor by pushing the boat down the river, lest the friendship between the two of us be ruined because of this little thing, and it just happens to help George save you some ammunition. ”

On the other end of the phone, Abu, who had received George's promise, laughed heartily as well. For the Russian tycoon, his original intention in buying Chelsea FC was not because of his love of football, but because he wanted to expand his influence around the world, expand his network of contacts and relationships, and make those who are interested in attacking him fall into the trap of not ending up like Berezovsky and others.

Therefore, when George took the initiative to propose to Abu that Chelsea could take a step back in Robben's transfer, Abramovich, who has always been interested in integrating into the British aristocratic circle through the relationship between George and the Nelson family, naturally agreed without hesitation!
