"If Hill Jr. is really as smart as Adele, or if Hill Sr. is still alive, then we will have more trouble and pay more to buy Atletico Madrid. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Unlike Adele's thoughts, George would have preferred more short-sighted guys like Little Hill. If everyone were as savvy as Moggie or Da Costa, it would be exponentially more difficult for him to build a network of satellite clubs, and it would be impossible for him to reach the current scale in just one month.
You must know that these satellite clubs were determined by George and his staff team after careful investigation in many aspects. So, while George has other options, in general, he is hoping to win the top picks on the shortlist, including Ajax, Monaco and Atletico Madrid.
After all, the remaining alternative teams are somewhat unsatisfactory in comparison to them – either because they lack influence, or because they have a limited economy in their cities, or they don't have the ability to develop players. Therefore, George is extremely pleased to be able to complete the acquisition of these clubs before the summer transfer door opens. Because in this way, he can poach those stars who have not yet become famous in his past life into these satellite clubs, and when the time comes, he can sell them at a high price or keep them for his own use, so as to maximize Tottenham's interests.
In addition, these satellite clubs have the added effect of helping Tottenham develop young players in England so that they can thrive away from the British media and not be lost by the paparazzi's frequent negative news and media hype. The most important point is that George needs these satellite clubs to instill tactical ideas from mainstream European football in these players, so that they can absorb the nutrients of growth in this land, instead of becoming a rough brother who only knows how to rely on physical fitness in the rough environment of England that makes people extremely speechless!
After all, compared with clubs such as Parma, Atletico Madrid and Monaco that are good at developing players, the youth training mechanism and public opinion environment on the English side really make George feel powerless to complain - but any English player, as long as they play a few good games, they will be praised by the British media, and once they play abnormally, they will immediately be degraded to nothing. In such an environment, how can English players grow to the heights they deserve?
This has nothing to do with the quality of the club's own youth training and management, but rather the environment in English football since the establishment of the highly commercial Premier League. Due to the pursuit of the commercialization of the Premier League, it is inevitable to adopt the star-making model. In this way, the British media and the Premier League companies continue to bring out the so-called "geniuses" and "superstars" to attract the attention of fans, and take public opinion to make the Premier League famous around the world, so that the Premier League can overtake other major leagues in popularity and attract more sponsors to invest, so as to achieve their ultimate goal - to get more revenue and profits!
Even George can't change this trend in the face of the commercialization of the Premier League. I can only watch Beckham, Owen and Joe Cole, the best of England's players, become famous early in this star-making model of the British media, but they can no longer reach the heights they should have been able to achieve in terms of football skills.
Therefore, George can only give English players a more relaxed environment by establishing satellite clubs outside the UK. Although even so, these players still can't escape the harassment and tracking reports of the British media, but after all, it is a continent far away from the UK, and it is difficult for these reports of the British media to cause too much psychological pressure on the players as they do at home, and English fans who are accustomed to thinking that they will not care too much about these little ones who play overseas. In this way, George's purpose was achieved.
Although George still has a few planned transfer deals to be completed and the construction of a network of satellite clubs is just beginning, there is no way for him to continue with the recruitment plans that have been made at this time. Because at this time, it is already the season when the European Cup is about to open!
Players who are preparing for the European Championship are naturally not going to consider offers from other teams at this juncture. For these internationals, the European Championship is the best stage to show their ability and a shortcut to change the future. After all, in a tournament year like this, players who have performed well in international tournaments such as the European Championship or World Cup are generally sought after by teams from all walks of life, and the chances of a carp jumping into the goal are naturally greatly increased.
Similarly, those clubs will not sell their players at this time. Because these teams are also counting on these players to perform well in the European Championship and make a lot of money after the European Championship, it is natural that they will not agree to George's transfer offer at this time.
Some people may talk about Klose and Carrick, and question why they will announce their transfer before the start of the tournament, which has also been called up to the national team and qualified for the European Championships. But let's not forget that Klose will have decided to join Tottenham before the European Championships because his ownership is no longer owned by Kaiserslautern FC, and the bookmakers are eager to cash out the declining German centre-forward, coupled with the fact that Klose has been replaced by a younger Kulanyi in the national team, and the German team's prospects in the European Championship are not optimistic, which gives George the opportunity to sign Klose.
And the reason why George agreed to Carrick's move to Manchester United before the European Championship is because he knows that in the Three Lions based on the members of Manchester United's class of 92, not to mention, the presence of the likes of Gerrard, Lampard, Hargreaves and Scholes makes it difficult for Carrick to be the team's playmaker and metronome like he did at Tottenham!
Since Carrick is unlikely to get too many opportunities to perform in this tournament, it is basically a fool's dream for George to take advantage of this European Championship to deceive Ferguson. Therefore, in this particular case, Klose and Carrick will announce the transfer before the start of the European Championship, rather than waiting until after the European Championship to find their next home.
In this way, with the anticipation of fans, players and clubs, the time finally came on June 12, 2004, that is, the official opening day of the European Championship. Also on this day, George arrived at the Stadio del Pier in Porto with Adele and Elisabeth at the invitation of Portuguese President Sampaio to watch the opening match of the European Championship later today!
