"Of course it's true!" Noticing Villana's shocked and somewhat skeptical expression, Walsh quickly took out the plan he was carrying with him and turned to the page with Villa's name written on it, "You see, this is George's summer recruitment plan that he personally formulated. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info on this, your name is highlighted by him!"
Here, by the way, the transfer of Villa was supposed to have been made by George himself. But unexpectedly, after signing Ronaldo, Vivian Founa happened in the Confederations Cup, which made George have to put down the work at hand and the opportunity to desert, and hurried back to London to operate to increase the capacity of the bench. As a result, the job of recruiting Villa fell to Walsh, who had just moved from Chelsea.
The reason why George will hand over this responsibility to the newcomer Walsh is that, on the one hand, he really can't get out of the team now, the team's pre-season training date is approaching, he must seize all the time, get everything done before the training camp starts, so that he can focus on the team when the time comes, and on the other hand, it is also a way for George to show his trust in Walsh and let the other party integrate into the club as soon as possible.
"Well, it seems to be true. Villa leaned over and found that it was exactly as Walsh had said, with the words "Key Transfer Target" after his name, "Mr. Walsh, I have one more question. Why is it that in this plan, I have a column that says discretion, while Drogba and Petr Cech on the first few pages say 'must be won'?"
After learning from Walsh that the Spurs owner and manager he had never met did attach great importance to him, Villa's heart was naturally quite moved, and he was no longer as resistant to joining Tottenham as he was at the beginning. However, when he found out that someone was actually more valued than himself, the Spaniard's heart was still somewhat concerned - perhaps in the eyes of the manager, Cech and Drogba do have the ability to become the pillars of the team, so they will become the target that must be won, but their own ability is not bad, and the plan does reflect the importance of him, why is there such a difference in the end?
I have to say that Walsh did a really beautiful job. If before this, Villa's expectation of himself was only to gain a firm foothold in the La Liga relegation team, then after learning that Tottenham Hotspur valued him and George, the championship manager, recognized his ability, Villa, who was inspired by his heart, was already a little disdainful of a promoted team like Zaragoza at this time, and thought that he was capable of playing in a team of a higher level. However, only Tottenham are the only clubs in the higher tiers who have any intention of bringing him in. Coupled with George's aura of "the first young coach in the Premier League", Villa, who was unwittingly induced by Walsh to raise his psychological expectations, is more and more inclined to play at Tottenham.
Perhaps compared with Arsene Wenger and Alex Ferguson, who have been famous for a long time, George has won a Premier League trophy, but in the eyes of players from the lower leagues like Villa, George is already a rare coach they can come into contact with. Playing under a Premier League champion is obviously a huge temptation for Villa!
"Mr. Villa, haven't you already said this reason before?" Hearing Villa's question, Walsh looked at Villa with a smile on his face, and after seeing the latter uncomfortable, he opened his mouth to answer the other party's doubts, "You know, in this era, whether the transfer can be completed is not only a matter between the two clubs, but also the will of the player himself plays a considerable role in this process." At the time of our previous assessment, Mr. Villa, it was not very likely that you would leave the Spanish league and join Tottenham Hotspur, who were unfamiliar with your home, so it was marked as 'discretionary'. ”
Hearing Walsh's reply, Villa smiled sheepishly. Clearly, he was aware of the reasons for the word, and he also had a deeper understanding of how much Tottenham valued him - without a careful examination of him, they would not have been able to come up with such a detailed picture and know so much about his thoughts.
Walsh's words succeeded in dispelling the last vestiges of Villa's mind. Therefore, in the following period, the guests and hosts can be said to have a good conversation, and the personal treatment of Villa at Tottenham Hotspur was quickly settled.
And so, with Villa signing his name on a five-year contract with a salary of £500,000 a year, plus various bonuses, the future top striker of Spanish football and the Matadors' all-time top scorer became part of Tottenham Hotspur's first team!
However, when Tottenham officially announced the acquisition of their main striker David Villa from La Liga club Sporting Gijón for a transfer fee of 1 million pounds, almost the entire English football world laughed at George's signing!
After all, Tottenham have been operating with great fanfare for so long, offering Henry and seducing Crespo, as if they really want to get a world-class striker for Tottenham. Therefore, when people found out that George tossed to the end and the final result was actually to buy an unknown young striker from a La Liga team, it naturally attracted countless sarcasm and ridicule.
If it weren't for George's exceptional coaching ability last season, as well as the introduction of fringe internationals from football powerhouses such as Michael Carrick and Heinze, as well as the staples of Europe's second-tier national teams such as Cech and Nemanja Vidic, Tottenham fans would have taken to the streets to protest what George is doing in the transfer market.
And now, the reason why Tottenham fans have not taken real action is that when George was in charge of Manchester United last season, he had a successful case of bringing Veron's parallel commodity back to its former glory. Therefore, Tottenham fans have some expectations, hoping that George can also play his ability to turn stones into gold after arriving at White Hart Lane, and develop these players who don't look very good, like Arsine Wenger, the boss of Arsenal next door.
While George was carefully preparing for the new season, Charlie Johnson's promised helper was finally belated, and Charlie signed a contract with Tottenham Hotspur shortly after arriving in London, becoming a member of Tottenham Hotspur FC. And among these people, the most impressive for George is naturally Thomas Tuchel, the future famous coach!
"Tuchel, you're saying that Bayer Leverkusen are now interested in selling their players?" After hiring Thomas Tuchel into the Tottenham coaching staff and handing over the management of Tottenham's youth team to him, George stumbled upon a very important piece of news during a casual conversation with the other party - Bayer Leverkusen, who won the Sanya King in the 01-02 season, are now planning to sell the players in the team!
"That's right, Joe...... Boss. Because of George's special status, Tuchel hesitated for a moment before he changed his words: "Bayer Leverkusen was only fourth from bottom in the Bundesliga table last season and narrowly relegated, coupled with the bankruptcy of the main Bundesliga broadcaster Kirsch Group, which has caused it to shrink significantly in terms of revenue. The Bayer Group, which is behind Leverkusen, is reluctant to inject capital into it, which makes Leverkusen's current financial situation extremely difficult. At least until I step down as head coach of the U19s at Stuttgart, Stuttgart are also considering poaching from Bayer Leverkusen. ”
George took the news from Tuchel very seriously. Although Bayer Leverkusen at this time has already been poached by Bayern Ze Roberto and Ballack, the record in the Bundesliga last season is also extremely bad, and the thrilling relegation success at the last moment has greatly reduced people's expectations for it, but George knows in his heart that there are still many players with excellent strength in the current "pharmaceutical factory", but they are underestimated because of the team's poor results - such as Brazilian international Lucio, the "dashing brother" from Bulgaria Dimitar Berbatov, the hero who led Turkey to the third place in the World Cup in South Korea and Japan, and Daniel Bierovka, a left-sided passerman who once dominated the Bundesliga!
So, after learning that Bayer Leverkusen was going to sell the players to ease their financial burden and exchange it for the funds to keep the club running, George didn't hesitate to make a move!
For "Fat Manager" Carlmond, the 02-03 season was undoubtedly the most nightmarish season since he took up the position of Bayer Leverkusen's general manager. Not only were the two pillars of Ballack and Ze Roberto poached by Bayern at a low price, but the team that had completed the "King of Sanya" on the three fronts of the Bundesliga, the German Cup and the Champions Cup the year before was also struggling last season and was not relegated until the last moment. This series of blows made the fat manager who single-handedly turned Leverkusen from a second-rate team in the Bundesliga into a full-fledged member of the G14 organization.
Although Carmund had prepared for the departure of Ze Roberto and Ballack, what Carmund did not expect was that the two successors he personally selected would become a rare transfer failure during his tenure as Bayer Leverkusen's general manager - Bierovka completely lost the left-sided style of his previous 1860 at Munich 1860, and Jane Seamark made the most of the "bad boy" style, and his ability to cause trouble far exceeded his contribution.
The midfield pillar was poached by Bayern, and there were no players who could make up for this loss in time, coupled with the frequent injuries of main players such as LaMelo, Sebezen, and Present, the attendance and competitive state were not as good as before...... It was only with the combination of these factors that Bayer Leverkusen fell at the speed of light last season, transforming themselves from a top team into a Super Cup.
As a result, Calmond had to choose to sell some players this summer in order to balance the club's financial situation that had deteriorated due to the absence of Champions League appearances, and to cut the team's wage bill. However, due to Bayer Leverkusen's poor results last season, and the fact that most of the main players were either sick or in declining form, Calmond's purge did not go well.
Therefore, when Paratici arrived at Bayer Leverkusen as Tottenham's negotiator to discuss the transfer of several Leverkusen players, Karmund was eager to send people to line up at the entrance of the headquarters to greet them, beat gongs and drums and set off firecrackers to welcome them to the "Leverkusen Players Supermarket".
