In fact, the tactical revolution in team football has already shown some signs as early as the mid-to-late 90s of the last century, such as Kaiserslautern, who created the miracle of winning the championship, Valencia, who was at the peak of Cooper and Benitez, and Porto, who won the Champions League this season.

However, due to the general environment of football at the time, the media and fans were more willing to attribute the success of these teams to one or a few outstanding stars, believing that their presence made the tactics and the team they played, rather than the tactics arranged by the manager to make them successful. For example, Kaiserslautern is Sforza and Marshall, Valencia is Mendieta and Vincent, and Porto is Deco and Carvalho...... Without them, these teams would not have been able to achieve such outstanding results, let alone win trophies.

However, Greece's success at this European Championship is undoubtedly a major blow to this argument. Especially when Greece, under the leadership of Rehhagel, defeated the host Portugal again in the final and won the Delaunay Cup, the impact on European football was no less than the moment when Michels introduced the theory of all-attack and all-defense more than 30 years ago!

It turns out that as long as there is a set of tactics in place, the team can work together to win the championship even if there are no top stars in the team. This is the sentiment of all managers after witnessing the real-life version of Greek mythology unfolding at this European Championship.

Thus, with Greece's eventual victory at the European Championships, a storm of tactical reform was inevitable. And Tottenham, led by George, has long been at the forefront of this reform!

Although the final championship trophy has become the Greeks' bag, this European Championship, the major football powers have also seen their new hope through actual battles, such as Spain's Torres, the Netherlands' Arjen Robben, Italy's Cassano, Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo, England's Wayne Rooney and Germany's Lahm and so on. Although these players did not help their countries win the trophy at this European Championship, their potential at the European Championship has been recognized and they are regarded by fans from all over the world as the pillars of the future of each national team!

The most surprising thing is that many of these future stars who shine at the European Championship have already become Tottenham Hotspur's bag!

Not to mention anything else, just the teams that have entered the semi-finals of this European Championship include Czech international Peter Cech, Portuguese supernova Cristiano Ronaldo, and Dutch Peter Pan Alger Robben have become Tottenham Hotspur players. You know, these are the three best young players of the three teams at this European Championship, and Tottenham are able to take them all together. Does this mean that Tottenham Hotspur, which has received these young bloods, is very likely to become another top club from English football after Manchester United?

To be clear, George has never believed that Arsenal and Liverpool before Benitez were worthy of the title of top giant. After all, although the former has played well with Manchester United in the league over the years, he is a layman in the European competition and has no achievements at all, while the latter has missed the Champions League for two consecutive seasons after the "five crowns" in 01, and the top giants are also shaky.

In addition, "post-80s" players such as Ledley King and Xavi Alonso also participated in this European Championship with the team. Although the youngsters have not been given many appearances in this tournament, their ability has clearly been recognised by their respective national team managers – otherwise how could they be brought to the European Championships, which represent the highest level of European football?

Therefore, it can be said that Tottenham has also gone ahead of most European clubs in terms of team renewal and team rejuvenation!

Just when people are lamenting that Tottenham Hotspur has grown into a club to be reckoned with under George Nelson and has taken the initiative in the future, the door to summer transfers for the 2004-05 season has been quietly opened!

As soon as the summer transfer window opened, Tottenham Hotspur announced a series of previously finalized signings, as well as the departure of Robbie Keane, Michael Carrick and Gabriel Heinze!

Tottenham's series of moves in the transfer market immediately detonated European football, which seemed to be somewhat deserted due to the economic downturn. Whether they are Tottenham Hotspur fans or not, they are discussing these transfers with great interest at this time, speculating whether George will make a bigger move next!

As for Redknapp and Poyet, who announced their retirement at the same time, since the two announced after last season's Premier League finale that they would end their playing careers at the end of the season, no one else reacted much to this, except for some nostalgic old fans. In other words, their eyes are on Tottenham's actions in the transfer market, and they don't have the heart to deal with these two veteran players who have become obsolete.

Unlike Tottenham, other clubs have been a little sluggish in their actions due to the European Championships, but they will never let Tottenham dominate alone. No, not long after the end of the European Cup, Real Madrid, which was empty of the four major last season, announced a blockbuster deal, which immediately drew people's attention from the city of London to the Spanish capital!

Michael Owen, the ace of the England national team, winner of the 2001 European Footballer of the Year and Liverpool's leading star, officially announced his arrival at Real Madrid on this day. And Owen's transfer fee is only 12 million euros!

Regarding Owen's low-cost transfer to Real Madrid, Liverpool fans are naturally extremely dissatisfied. Of course, what they are dissatisfied with is not that the club will sell Owen, who is the number one star, but Owen, who played a disgraceful role in this transfer - as a top star from Liverpool's academy, Owen, who has only one year left on his contract, publicly announced early that he would not renew his contract with Liverpool in order to achieve the goal of transferring to Real Madrid, and took the initiative to help Real Madrid lower the price, causing Liverpool to fall into a great passive situation in the negotiation process, and finally only exchanged his own star for a mere 12 million euros.

Not to mention what people will say about Owen's choice, after the announcement of the transfer to Real Madrid, the Galaxy Battleship created by Florentino has undoubtedly become the most well-known, most influential, and second to none team in European football!

However, George clearly has no intention of stealing the limelight with Real Madrid. Not only because Tottenham is not capable of wrestling with top giants like Real Madrid, but also because Tottenham's current first-team numbers are basically saturated, and there is not much room to make adjustments. In this way, there is no need for George to continue to play in the transfer market!

In this way, when various clubs were gearing up and preparing to show their skills in the transfer market, George, who had completed the most important part of the summer recruitment plan, asked Marotta and others to continue to complete the remaining part of the recruitment plan, and at the urging of Adele, began to consider a proposal from the British royal family!
