Chapter 329: To Brussels

A mature championship team must diversify the types of players, otherwise not only will their tactical routines be easily figured out by their opponents, but it will also become extremely difficult to adjust once the team is unable to open the situation in the game. It was one of the things George learned from Robson Sr. and Ferguson as assistant coaches.

The old Robson, who likes to match the lineup according to the technical characteristics of the players, will not mention it, but will say that Ferguson has a stubborn temper and is extremely disgusted with others questioning his tactical arrangement. Don't look at the old man who often puts on a stubborn appearance in front of outsiders, in fact, the lord has never stubbornly adhered to a set of tactical play or a set of lineups because he has been successful, but has been tirelessly making various attempts to improve the team little by little!

Take Manchester United, for example. Although the current Red Devils are still dominated by the play of wings and wings, strikers in the middle to grab points, but Ferguson entrusted Ruud van Nistelrooy with a heavy responsibility, and also introduced Rooney with stronger independent attacking ability and Saha with all-round ability, so that Manchester United's forward line can find a solution no matter what kind of defense they face.

If this were not the case, it would have been impossible for Ferguson to complete the rebuilding of Manchester United after the old team of the Treble winners of the year, and even led the Red Devils to three more Champions League finals and a second trophy in the 07-08 season. I have long retired with Dalglish and Keegan, who have eaten the ancients!

This fact is just as valid for Tottenham. After winning the Big Ears Cup, Tottenham is destined to become the subject of competition among many managers, and each player will be taken under a microscope to be magnified and carefully examined, so that they can make a specific arrangement when they play Tottenham directly in the future. Therefore, even if Ribery does not submit a transfer request after the Champions League final, George will definitely upgrade the squad this summer to prevent his routine from being thoroughly studied by his opponents and causing problems for Tottenham in the new season!

Although Tottenham have now established themselves as a top club with a Champions League title, in reality, Tottenham are far from being able to force their opponents with their strength in response to change. Not to mention, even Barcelona, known as the Cosmos team, and Real Madrid, the first team to win the Big Ears Cup after the Champions League restructuring, did not follow a single route, but enriched their tactical changes as much as possible without violating the tactical framework, making it difficult for opponents to grasp and amplify their weaknesses.

A player may be able to eat all the tricks in one move, but a team can't just make one move. If that's the case, then the team is not far from being taught by their opponents.

Therefore, George will age in Darren Anderton, Robben and Ronaldo are becoming more and more versatile, especially after the two have significantly improved their ability to cut inside and score inside, Aaron Lennon, whose style of play is more similar to that of a traditional winger. In order to make it impossible for the opponent to guess what kind of tactical play and game strategy he will adopt in the game!

Now for the main business. After securing Lennon's transfer, the number of players who have been confirmed to join Tottenham has reached five, which is exactly the same as the number expected to leave!

Steven Gerrard for £35 million, Arshavin for €5 million, Larsson for €3 million, McCone on loan and Lennon for £1 million...... Although Tottenham has not invested much in the transfer market except for Gerrard, the improvement of the overall strength of the team is extremely obvious, and it also ensures the diversity of the team's tactics. If someone calculates Tottenham's transfer income and expenditure this summer (Basturk 12 million pounds, Kompany 10 million euros, Villa 28 million euros, Vermaelen 6 million euros, Ribery to be determined), then he will find an extremely terrible fact - on the basis of improving the team's combat effectiveness and ensuring the depth of the bench, Tottenham has made tens of millions of euros in this summer transfer window!

However, keeping Tottenham profitable in the transfer market is not George's main goal. After all, for him, whose net worth is already too much to calculate, these tens of millions of euros are insignificant at all. The main reason for this situation is that the Champions League winner has a bonus. Otherwise, no matter how good Basturk and Villa are, they will not be able to sell for such a high price when they are only rotated players!

Of course, if you have to spend a lot of money to strengthen the team, then George will not hesitate to let Tottenham become the big Paris and Blue Moon in the previous life, and become the most money-burning team in the whole European football!

In less than half a month, five reinforcements were made, filling the vacancies left by the departure of Ribery and others as quickly as possible, the squad strength and bench depth have been further improved, and even won Gerrard, one of the best midfielders in England, Tottenham's rapid action in the transfer market in the summer of 05 really surprised everyone!

You know, just over ten days ago, when the news that Ribery and others submitted their transfer applications and was immediately approved by the club just leaked out, many people thought that George had lost his previous ambitions after winning the Champions Cup, and planned to take this opportunity to make a big profit, and then transform Tottenham into a club like Porto and Udinese that made a living by selling players. And judging from the current situation, their previous arguments are obviously completely wrong!

At the press conference announcing the signing of Thanon from Leeds United, Marotta, who was instructed by George, publicly stated in front of a crowd of reporters that given that the first team is close to full, Tottenham will not make any further signings this summer unless there are very special circumstances!

Seeing Marotta's statement that it was almost announced that "Tottenham's recruitment work this summer has all ended", everyone who learned the news was confused. They didn't expect that at this time, Tottenham Hotspur had already completed their recruitment plan, just waiting for the summer transfer door to officially open on July 1!

Tottenham, what are you going to do? It's only mid-June! You've closed the transfer door so early, how can we find news to write! This is the common sentiment of all the reporters at the press conference at this moment!

Just when people were shocked by Tottenham's vigorous moves in the transfer market, George had quietly arrived in Brussels, the capital of Belgium, with Elizabeth, to attend the upcoming G14 meeting in the city!
