While there is a long tradition of satellite clubs in European football, with almost every club having a varying number of satellite teams, mainly for overseas expansion, scouting networks or loaning out their own players, before George, most clubs were looking for satellite clubs with the middle and lower leagues of each country as their main target. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info such as Manchester United and Real Antwerp, Juventus and Siena to name a few.

Even if the power is as strong as Juventus, the Bianconeri have satellite clubs, and the highest level is nothing more than a weak team like Siena, which fights for relegation every year. So, when Tottenham broke with that routine and turned the likes of Ajax and Monaco into their own satellites, it was a surprise to the crowd.

It wasn't until then that the others realized it in hindsight. It turns out that the Boseman Act is not only affected by the small and medium-sized clubs of national leagues, but also other clubs that are not in the ranks of the top giants. However, because these teams have a much stronger foundation than those of the small and medium-sized balls, they will naturally be able to hold on for much longer.

You know, nearly a decade after the Bosman Act came into effect, the Champions Cup semi-finals could still be seen from time to time in the non-four major league clubs. For example, in the just-concluded 03-04 season, Porto even met Monaco in the Champions League final and finally won the championship. Nearly two decades after the law came into force, no non-traditional club has ever reached the Champions League final, let alone the Big Ears Cup, with the exception of Simeone's Atletico Madrid.

Ajax, for example, won the Champions League the year before the Bosman Act came into effect, and by 2016, when George crossed over, Ajax had fallen to the point where they could not even reach the group stage of the Champions League.

(Note: Personally, I think that Dortmund, who also reached the Champions League final, should not be counted in the category of non-traditional powerhouses, after all, no matter how cup the Hornets are, it is also the only two German clubs when the G14 group was established, and its appeal in Germany is only slightly inferior to Bayern.) That's why the likes of Schalke 04 and Bayer Leverkusen have fallen silent after a period of glory, while Borussia Dortmund have been able to re-emerge in just a few years. ）

Since most people didn't expect this to happen, this was a great opportunity for George to take advantage of!

The main reason why George was able to seize this opportunity better than others was because he had memories of his past life. Without this memory, it would have been difficult for George to take advantage of the time lag and buy clubs like Monaco and Ajax before the big clubs react, and build a network of luxurious satellite clubs!

Of course, the main reason why this network can be established is that George has enough financial resources to get control of clubs such as Atletico Madrid, Ajax and Monaco. Without sufficient liquidity to back it up, clubs such as Ajax and Atletico Madrid would not have been so easily pocketed by George, let alone a satellite club of Tottenham Hotspur.

And after witnessing Tottenham's results this summer, the top giants who suddenly realized it have joined the ranks. However, they moved a little slower, and at the same time did not get control of the other party, they naturally hit a wall repeatedly in this operation, and they did not get the expected harvest at all!

While various giants are scrambling to follow Tottenham's example and try to establish a larger network of satellite clubs in European football, George, who is secretly mentioning the summer recruitment work of satellite teams such as Atletico Madrid, while enjoying a wonderful holiday with Elizabeth and Adele, finally returned to London in late July. After all, the new Premier League season is scheduled to start on August 14, and if there is no pre-season training camp now, then the ill-prepared Tottenham are likely to suffer a lot when the new season starts.

What's more, as last season's FA Cup winners, Tottenham will also face bitter rivals Arsenal in the Community Shield a week before the league opener. Therefore, it is only natural for George to prepare in advance and let the players adjust their condition as soon as possible for this extremely important game for Tottenham!

Although the Community Shield is nothing more than a dispensable weakness for strong teams, this time is an exception, because the two teams facing each other in the Community Shield final, Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal, are bitter rivals in the same city with a grudge of nearly 100 years!

Under such circumstances, it is naturally impossible for the two sides to turn this final into a warm-up match that goes through the motions. Arsenal are eager to use a win to wash away the shame of not winning against Tottenham in five times last season, and Tottenham are also hoping to beat the Gunners in this final and tell everyone who is the strongest in English football today!

Incidentally, as the redevelopment of Wembley Stadium is not yet complete, this year's Community Shield final will still be held at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff.

Strange to say, there are many stadiums in England that are not bad in terms of popularity and hardware conditions, such as Manchester United's Old Trafford, Liverpool's Anfield, etc., but the FA chose the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, which cannot but be said to be a puzzling thing.

Perhaps it was for neutral reasons, or perhaps because it was a legacy of the past, that the FA chose the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff as the venue for the final, but it was undoubtedly a rather inappropriate arrangement for Arsenal and Tottenham. As two teams in the same north London who are battling for Premier League dominance, they certainly prefer this final to be held in the city of London.

Even if Wembley Stadium doesn't work, it would be okay to move the final venue to Stamford Bridge, which can be considered a neutral venue, so why do we have to go to Cardiff to play?

However, while both George and Arsene Wenger were bitter about the FA's unconscionable arrangement, they had no choice but to accept reality rather than run to the FA's face – which, you know, are quite vindictive in some ways. If this incident is recorded in a small book by the FA, then Tottenham and Arsenal will be unlucky in the future.

In a hectic atmosphere, the Tottenham players had just finished their pre-season training camp and were about to play their first official game of the 2004-05 season – the Community Shield final against Arsenal!
