Chapter 318: The Tide of Departures
Ribery and Villa have offered themselves the option to leave Tottenham this summer, which is a huge regret for George, but he can understand what is on their minds. After all, no player can resist the temptation of the World Cup. Even Redondo, who once refused the summons of Bilardo and Passarella, resulting in only one World Cup in his career, the heart of the "prince" is actually full of regrets. This can be seen from the words of Redondo, who was about to retire in 04, in an interview with reporters.
So, for this choice of Ribery and Villa, George is completely understandable. And, most importantly, Ribery and Villa did not put pressure on the club through the media or help other teams to lower prices for this reason, but took the initiative to find George to seek an internal peaceful solution, without touching George's bottom line. In this way, George naturally has no intention of putting obstacles in the way of their transfer.
Since Ribery and Villa didn't break the rules in any way, and they were quite determined to leave, selling them for a good price was the best solution in George's eyes!
Regarding where the two of them went, George also had a preliminary plan in mind. First up is Franck Franck Ribery, who is ready to inform Chelsea and Manchester United of a bid between them. Because Ferguson and Mourinho have always been interested in Ribery, and they usually ask George if they have any intention of selling Ribery. Therefore, pulling them into this transfer will not only meet Ribery's needs, but also maximize Tottenham's interests!
As for Villa, George intends to solve it through internal digestion, allowing Atletico Madrid, which is a satellite club of Tottenham Hotspur, to buy the future top scorer of the Spanish national team. George believes that with Villa's strength, he can definitely impress Bielsa and occupy an absolute main position in the Sheets Army, so as to realize his dream of participating in the World Cup in Germany! )
Although George has said before that he will allow the two to choose their own home, he did not say that he will definitely make the choice according to their wishes - it is a good thing that the club has a human touch, but if everything is considered from the human aspect, it will also have a very serious negative impact on the development of the team! For example, in the previous AC Milan, Galliani's efforts to create a family-like atmosphere in Milan have indeed made the Rossoneri the most harmonious atmosphere and the most cohesive team among the top giants. However, the business idea of giving too much preferential treatment to meritorious players has also seriously hindered the speed of AC Milan's replacement, and has put AC Milan with an extremely heavy financial burden!
There are a large number of veterans in the team who have high salaries but can't sell for money, not only occupy a lot of playing time but also have a declining personal ability with age, if AC Milan's results can be better, it will be a real hell!
Therefore, in George's view, on the basis of ensuring that the interests of the team are not harmed, and then considering other aspects, this is the most suitable way to operate Tottenham!
Therefore, George is not at all worried about whether Ribery and Villa will turn their faces on themselves because the results are not what they expected. Because he had made it clear to Ribery that he would give preference to clubs with higher offers on the basis of considering the needs of the two!
After seeing off Ribery and Villa, George couldn't help but sigh. Because he has realized that in this summer transfer market, he is destined to have no time to stop - although Tottenham Hotspur will not become a second Porto with their own backing, those teams brandishing the cheque book will certainly not give up the opportunity to poach Tottenham as the European champions!
Sure enough, as George expected, only a day after Ribery and Villa asked to leave, several more Tottenham players took the initiative to submit transfer applications!
"Giuseppe, so Thomas, Ildiraj and Vincent all have plans to leave?" Why do other teams look like they are all attracted to stars after winning the Champions League (for example, after AC Milan won the championship in 03, the overall strength was further strengthened; after Real Madrid won the championship in 02, Ronaldo and Beckham were successively defeated, and they were officially upgraded to the Galaxy Battleship), how did it come to me, and the situation was completely reversed? Not only did no player take the initiative to sell him, but so many people asked for a transfer!"
It is not surprising that this will happen. Looking at the whole of European football, is there any team like Tottenham, which has not only an eye-catching outstanding result, but also has a large number of talented young players in the team? Therefore, when they have won a Champions League trophy and made a name for themselves, these arrogant young people will naturally have the idea of "my strength is obviously not worse than him, why can he play the main team in the team, and I can only play as a substitute for him". In this way, it is natural that some of them choose to transfer away!
Kompany's desire to leave the team is also inseparable from this reason - after winning the Big Ears Cup with the team, Kompany and Basturk, who have a lot of plump names in the honor book, are no longer satisfied with the position of rotation players, and have begun to crave more playing time. The latter, in particular, was pushed to the bench by George, who had been partnered with Alonso, as he started several key games at the end of the season. Naturally, the Turks were disappointed by this situation, believing that it was George's distrust of his abilities, so he made the decision to apply for a transfer after some careful consideration!
To be honest, the reason why Tottenham Hotspur still has to face a large number of players leaving the team after winning the championship is mainly because their strength has not yet reached the point where Barcelona during the "Universe Team" period in their previous life and Real Madrid ten years later have a clear view of the mountains, which makes many players think that it may be a better choice to take advantage of this trend to play in other teams. If Tottenham can get AC Milan in the Champions League final, it is likely that the number of players who have submitted transfer requests will be much lower!
In this way, the Champions League final has only ended, and five players who occupy important positions in Tottenham's rotation have already confirmed that they will leave White Hart Lane in the summer transfer window!
