While Morse was bitter that he had to let Gerrard go at a "low price" of 35 million pounds, on the other hand, accompanied by his agent Marshall, Gerrard signed his name on the contract brought by Marotta very solemnly!

"Congratulations, Mr. Gerald. From today onwards, you will be a member of Tottenham Hotspur!" Seeing that Gerrard's transfer was finally completed after a busy time, Marotta only felt that a stone in his heart had finally fallen to the ground, "I believe that you will definitely be able to reach the peak of your career at White Hart Lane!"

"I also hope that this time at White Hart Lane will help Tottenham win more trophies. Gerard smiled and shook Marotta's hand. However, perhaps because of the departure from Liverpool, which has been played for many years and has a deep affection, Gerrard's smile at this time is somewhat bitter.

As a professional manager who has worked on countless transfers, Marotta can fully understand Gerrard's mood at this time. Under the reassurance of him and Marshall, Gerrard, who was confused and sad because of the first official transfer in his life, finally calmed down.

In this way, under the fanning of George's little butterfly, Gerrard in this life left Liverpool, where he had played for ten years, and embarked on a completely different path from his previous life!

"The Dust Settles! Gerrard Loves White Hart Lane!", the BBC and Sky Sports, which have reliable news channels, typed such a headline for the first time. And the announcement of this news directly set off a wave of monstrous waves in English football!

Seeing this news, the Chelsea side, who was still stupidly waiting for Gerrard to come to the door and discuss personal treatment with them, can be said to be confused at this time - why haven't we started contract negotiations yet, Gerrard has become a Tottenham player?!

It was only then that Chelsea and Kenyon realized in hindsight that Gerrard had already reached an agreement with Tottenham on joining when they didn't know, and they were waiting for Liverpool FC to nod and release him!

From the early morning of May 30, Gerrard issued a statement through his agent, announcing that he would terminate the contract renewal negotiations with Liverpool and ask for a transfer to a club with more hopes of winning the championship trophy, to Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur announcing that they would join Gerrard's race, and then to the official announcement on June 1 that Tottenham Hotspur had signed the Reds captain for a transfer fee of 35 million pounds. In less than three days, the curtain has come down on this transfer that shook the entire English football world!

How could the move have been so swift without Gerrard having reached a tacit agreement with Tottenham in advance, and how could Chelsea be told that the player had signed with Tottenham without even seeing Gerrard in person?

"George, if you had told me earlier that you had reached an agreement with Gerrard in advance, I wouldn't have had to go through so much trouble with this pointless transfer. Kenyon's grumbling came over the phone. Obviously, the Chelsea CEO can be said to be extremely unhappy with George's muffled behavior of making a fortune, "Do you know that because of Gerrard, Chelsea and I have become the laughing stock of the media and fans!"

"I'm sorry, Peter (Kenyon). I didn't expect Giuseppe [Marotta] to do it, I'm really embarrassed this time. In response to Kenyon's complaints, George, who did not want to have a bad relationship with Chelsea because of this transfer, apologized repeatedly on the phone, "It's better to be like this, don't I have a few players on my side to leave? Peter, see which one you can convince to go to Stamford Bridge, and then I will sell it to you Chelsea cheaper as compensation." ”

"Since George you say so, then it's decided!" As one of the top CEOs in Europe, Kenyon naturally knows what it means to accept it when he sees it, and made a decision immediately, "Gerrard's matter is written off, and Chelsea is still an important ally of Tottenham in English football!"

Although George said so, and the compensation he gave sounded indeed sincere, in his heart, he had already scolded Marotta and Paratici, who were in charge of the matter, for being incomplete-these two fools, don't they know that they would hide their eyes and ears a little, delay a little longer, go around two circles and then complete the signing with Gerrard? Do you have to make it so that everyone can guess that Gerrard and Tottenham have already reached an agreement in private before they will give up?!

It seems that in the future, it is better to keep an eye on Marotta for heavyweight transfers like this, and save yourself from this one, and a transfer that is obviously nine out of ten can still cause a bunch of things that are not conducive to the image of Tottenham Hotspur Club. Thinking so, George, who knew that he had made a mistake in personnel arrangement this time, made a decision on Marotta's future, and was ready to let him accumulate more experience in the position of CEO of Tottenham, and then take full responsibility for this level of recruitment!

George knew that Marotta had made such a low-level mistake mainly because he had never operated such a high-level reinforcement before. Under the effect of this rush mentality, Marotta naturally inevitably made some mistakes when operating. Therefore, in George's opinion, it is understandable to give Marotta another chance to prove himself.

Some people may say that George wouldn't have had so much trouble saying hello to Abu or Kenyon in advance, but don't forget, can this kind of thing be said casually? If Kenyon used his strong public relations skills and top eloquence to persuade Gerrard to change his mind after learning the news, wouldn't George and Tottenham make wedding clothes for others in vain?

Just when George vowed to Kenyon that he would give Chelsea a compensation, the other party to the deal, the Liverpool club, was facing an extremely grim situation!

"When McManaman left, you said we still had Owen, Fowler, and Redknapp, and when Fowler and Redknapp left, you said we still had Owen and Gerald, and when Owen left, you said we were going to be led by Gerald...... Now that Gerrard is gone, what do you have to say!" Hundreds of fans gathered in front of Liverpool's headquarters shouted angry slogans to protest the club's move to sell Gerrard!

The fans knew very well that Gerrard was destined to never play at Anfield again, but that didn't stop them from taking their anger out on the club!

As more and more fans gathered, so did the behavior of Liverpool fans. Especially when some Liverpool fans lost their minds and smashed coins, stones, bricks and other debris in their hands into the club building, causing people to be injured, the nature of the incident suddenly escalated, from a simple protest to a mass riot!

In this way, June 1, 2005 is destined to be a day that will never be forgotten by all fans. Because on this day, Liverpool fans who were unhappy with the club's sale of Steven Gerrard launched a massive protest!
