Edgar Davies, the Dutch "wild boar", is the main midfielder of Serie A hegemony Juventus for the past six years, winning three Serie A titles for the Old Lady and reaching two Champions League finals with the team. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 In addition, during the loan to Barcelona in the just-concluded 03-04 season, Davies also helped the Catalan giants become the best La Liga team in the first half of 2004, and was the biggest contributor to Barcelona's last-minute overtake of Real Madrid and win the league runner-up!
Gézca Mendieta, winner of the best midfielder in Europe in 1999-00 and 2000-01, Spanish Footballer of the Year in 1999-00, the main witness and creator of Valencia's revival, was once one of the strong contenders for the world Footballer of the Year!
Although Davies and Mendieta were in their thirties at this time, no one dared to underestimate the power of these two veterans - you must know that before Davies joined Barcelona, Barcelona was only 12th in the La Liga table, and after the Dutch Wild Boars joined Camp Nou on loan, the Red and Blues, who had languished in the first half of the league, soared to the sky, achieving an astonishing record of 17 consecutive league games (14 wins, 3 draws) and losing only one game in the second half of the league. Let the already half-dead Barcelona have such earth-shaking changes, which is enough to show Davies's ability!
As for Mendieta, despite the fact that the Basque people did not have a good time after leaving Valencia, and even many Italian media and Lazio fans blamed him for the decline of the Blue Eagles and did not have a good opinion of him, no one dared to underestimate the former best midfielder in Europe - God knows if Mendieta would suddenly burst into silence and complete the redemption of himself? After all, similar things have not happened in European football, with Edgar Davies, Reziger and Van Bronckhorst being exemplars of this.
Therefore, when Tottenham released information on the official website, announcing that the two stars who will return to free agency this summer have signed work contracts with Tottenham, the entire European football world was shocked by these two news!
Without paying a single pound for a transfer fee, he signed two players with excellent immediate combat ability, strengthening Tottenham's current shortcomings, George's operation in the transfer market has been praised by the media and experts - in the eyes of most people, it is not a skill to buy good players by burning money, and talents who can do big things with little money are called excellent!
In fact, this is nothing more than a bias on the part of the experts. There are also few people in international football who can buy good players by burning money, and at the same time improve the strength and performance of the team. In other words, the people who can do it are also extremely good.
Looking at Manchester United after Alex Ferguson's retirement, United have burned €100 million in transfer funds every summer except for the season when Moyes took over. But the result: It's not like the Red Devils can't even qualify for a Champions Cup!
However, although George did not agree with the opinions of experts and fans, he did not say anything to refute it. After all, this kind of argument has no harm in boosting his prestige and popularity in the football world, and George is naturally not stupid enough to sing anything against it.
Some people rejoice and some people worry. Since Tottenham fans are excited about these two signings, it is only natural that some people will be unhappy with Tottenham's move to bring in Davies and Mendieta. No, Middlesbrough boss McClaren was already struggling with Mendieta's departure - although Mendieta's performance at Middlesbrough was not top-notch, the Spanish midfielder was one of the few players under his command who had the ability to control the tempo of the game and make reasonable judgments on the pitch.
In McLaren's plan, he is ready to sign Mendieta, who is out of contract this summer, to officially become a member of Middlesbrough. However, McLaren's sluggish pace of action made him miss this opportunity, and he could only watch as Mendieta announced his move to Tottenham!
However, despite his displeasure at Tottenham's digging of his own wall, McClaren could not make any negative comments about George's actions. After all, everything the other party did was in line with the rules, and there was no robbery or forced buying and selling. Therefore, McClaren can only blame himself for being too slow at this time, giving Tottenham a chance.
Equally depressed is Inter Milan's Massimo Moratti. The famous fan chairman took a fancy to Davies, who had excelled at Barcelona, and thought that the Dutchman could help him achieve his dream of returning to the era of the big international, but it turned out that Davies accepted a contract offer from Tottenham, which naturally hit the boss hard.
The arrival of these two big players, combined with the announcement of the signing of Xavi Alonso by Tottenham, has all Premier League title aspiring teams raised Tottenham's threat to the highest level - not to mention that Tottenham have also added German centre-forward Klose in attack. This is a player who has even seen a World Cup final!
Therefore, if Tottenham Hotspur has more than enough momentum this season, and the lack of experience and experience has limited their performance and final results, then Tottenham, which has Davies and Mendieta, can already be called a team that really has the strength to compete for the league title!
It seems that next season's Premier League title will be born from these teams in London City. After watching Tottenham and Chelsea's moves in the transfer market, as well as Arsenal's strong form this season with an unbeaten record, most have come to a conclusion.
With most of the focus on Tottenham's two free signings, and the Premier League clubs were shocked by Tottenham's move in the transfer market, and spurred on by these two transfers, few people noticed that Adele and Elizabeth had quietly completed their respective tasks, bringing Atletico Madrid and Ajax into George's sphere of influence!
Compared to Elisabeth's team, which took a lot of effort to take ownership of Ajax, the success of the acquisition of Atletico Madrid was simply beyond everyone's expectations. Adele had just started negotiations, and Hill Jr. couldn't wait to agree to all the conditions she put forward and sell his shares in Atletico Madrid for close to 100 million euros!
"Although Jesús Hill is not a good man and many of his actions during his presidency at Atletico Madrid have been controversial, it has to be said that he has done a very good job in the chairmanship. Afterwards, when meeting George, Adele, who was not having fun, unceremoniously made this evaluation of Little Hill, "Compared with his father, Little Hill is simply a second ancestor who only knows losers." Atletico Madrid sits in such an international metropolis as Madrid and has a deep fan base, but with poor results in recent times and only 100 million euros in debt, he is in a hurry to sell his shares. Not even a slightly shrewd person would sell a stake in Atletico at such a price!"
Obviously, in Adele's eyes, little Hill has become synonymous with incompetence and idiocy. If she is facing old Hill now, then even if Adele can finally get this acquisition, I am afraid it will take more time and pay a lot more price.
