Although many fans were relieved that England had a thrilling run through to the quarter-finals, there were several things that made England fans unhappy. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 For example, Rooney's title of the youngest goalscorer in the European Championship after only four days was suddenly snatched away by Swiss teenager John von Lantang, who is more than three months younger than Rooney, in another group stage of Group B!

In addition, the opponents of the Three Lions, who managed to break through from Group B, in the next quarter-finals have also worried England fans. Because England's next opponent is none other than the host Portugal!

In this regard, England fans are naturally extremely depressed in their hearts. If Von Lantang took away Rooney's title as "the youngest goalscorer in the European Championship", and the fans could comfort themselves that the Swiss were just shit luck, then meeting Portugal in the quarterfinals was enough to make England feel terrified!

At Euro XI four years ago, England were kept out of the semi-finals by Portugal. Now that the Three Lions have met this old rival again, how can this not worry England fans? Not to mention, Portugal also has the status of the host of this European Championship!

Since the dark World Cup two years ago, almost all European teams have developed a visceral wariness of their hosts. After all, in the '02 World Cup, the stick really profited too much from this, and it also left a shadow on European teams that can never be erased.

Despite the treacherous situation for England to reach the semi-finals, George was in no mood to care about the future of Wayne Rooney and the Three Lions at this time. After all, Wayne Rooney is unlikely to be part of Tottenham Hotspur right now, and George has no role in the England squad or the FA to care about the player who is destined to play for Tottenham's rivals, or to figure out how to get the Three Lions back to the top.

In George's view, instead of focusing on these things that have little to do with Tottenham, it is better to focus on the Spurs players who are playing at the European Championships, and the future stars he has put on his watch list and intends to bring in.

For example, Luka Modric, who came off the bench for the Plaid Army in England's match against Croatia and performed remarkably, is one of George's key observers. This young player, who has never been selected for the national team in his previous life, has been favored by Croatian coach Baric in this life, and has entered Croatia's 23-man squad for this European Championship!

And the young Modric knows very well that the reason why he can be selected for the national team for the European Championship in Portugal this time is not because his ability has been recognized by Baric, but because of the result of the secret operation of Tottenham owner George Nelson - a check for one million dollars is enough to impress Baric and exchange a place for Modric in the national team.

You know, after the drastic changes in Eastern Europe in the early nineties of the last century, Croatia's economy was almost completely paralyzed. So private deals like this are just a necessary means for Baric to improve his own living conditions.

"It seems that you really attach great importance to this Croatian guy named Modric. Noticing the flash of satisfaction on George's face, Adele, who was sitting on the sofa opposite, looked a little puzzled and puzzled, "Obviously, Tottenham Hotspur has a midfielder like Carrick, and his performance this season is also very big. Yet you sold him to Manchester United at the end of the season and bought the Spaniard from Real Sociedad. Now I still look at this Modric who has no brilliance, I really don't know what you think, brother. ”

"Hmph, Adele, are you so optimistic about Modric's future?" George just smiled at Adele's question, but did not give any answer to it, "Why don't we make a bet, if Modric can grow into a star with the ability to take charge in three years, then Adele you can give me a free three-year day job in Trafalgar." If he doesn't grow to this height, then I'll give you another 10% stake in Trafalgar...... As for the criterion for judging, it is based on whether Modric can lead Monaco to win a Ligue 1 title as a main player!"

Of course, George understands what Adele is wondering, but he can't tell his sister the truth, so he can only show his optimism about Modric by betting - if George says that he knows what Modric can reach in the future, then he will probably be sent to the hospital by Adele for treatment.

"No problem, I promise!" Hearing George's offer, Adele readily agreed after only a little consideration. In her opinion, the bet was clearly more favorable to her. After all, even if she loses the bet, Adele will only have to work her brother for three years as a day job - a financial loss that is nothing compared to the possible gains.

The day after Croatia exited the European Championships, Dinamo Zagreb made a public statement, announcing that Luka Modric has become a member of Tottenham Hotspur for a transfer fee of $1.5 million!

Immediately afterwards, Tottenham, who had been instructed by George, also issued an announcement announcing that Modric was on loan to Monaco FC for a season on a free loan. And George's arrangement was also recognized and agreed by Modric himself.

As a result, Modric became the first signing that George personally finalized for the Ligue 1 club after acquiring Monaco!

To be clear, despite being the boss behind Monaco, it is unlikely that George would blatantly jump out and violate these rules in order to avoid arousing UEFA hostility. Therefore, under George's orders, Monaco's transfer power was delegated to Deschamps, and he promised to allocate a certain amount of transfer fees every summer to strengthen the squad. As a result, the only players that really need to be paid attention to by George are the players that Tottenham have loaned to Monaco.

For Modric, who grew up during the Croatian War of Independence, he was more aware of the preciousness of opportunity than anyone else, and he was more sophisticated and thoughtful in his approach to dealing with people. So, before George came to explain his intention to put him out on loan, Modric had already figured out the joints. As a result, before George could explain, the Croatian readily accepted Tottenham's offer to send him on loan to Monaco for training.

Let the European Championship temper him first, and then take him to a higher level of Ligue 1 to gain knowledge...... In this way, when Modric gradually grows up in his loan career at Monaco, matures in terms of technique and body, and then calls him back to White Hart Lane to play for Tottenham, Tottenham can get a more powerful "magic flute" than in his previous life! This is all the planning that George has made for Modric's career development!

However, it is not all good news that awaits Tottenham. For example, after Italy was out, it was announced that he would take over the vacant position vacated after Trapattoni's resignation and become the new head coach of the Apennine Army.
