Chapter 706: Rules of the Game

Pierce looks like he's already starting to prepare for the upcoming Olympics.

At least many managers of Premier League teams have spoken out for him, including local managers like Redknapp, who hope that Premier League teams can support English football more, but the giants including Ye Qiu, Ferguson and Wenger are basically silent.

Among them, Ferguson said in an interview that he would not allow several core players in the team to participate in the European Championship and the Olympic Games, which can be regarded as a kind of rejection of Pierce's proposal.

It is clear that Pierce is lobbying back and forth between the Premier League and the Championship teams, not just for the manager and management, but also for the players, and he has given David Beckham a promise to do his best to bring him to the Olympics, which has almost already put him on the eighteen-man squad.

Pierce's conversation with Beckham should have been after communicating with Ye Qiu, and Beckham found Ye Qiu the day after the conversation, but in addition to mentioning to Ye Qiu that he was likely to participate in the Olympics, he also revealed a piece of information.

"You've decided you want to retire?" Ye Qiu was a little surprised by this decision, but he didn't feel strange.

is 37 years old, although Beckham can still play for the national team and the national Olympic team, but in fact, in addition to the skills of long passes and free kicks, his contributions in other aspects have become smaller and smaller.

It is also ironic to say that England, which is known as full of talent, relies on a 37-year-old veteran in terms of offensive tactics of the national team, and Capello's arrival has not brought much change to the England national team, the reason is very simple, the characteristics of England's players are too monotonous.

To take the simplest example, Spain, you can see both wide attackers like Navas, you can also see inside cutters like Mata, if you count Pedro, who has outstanding ability without the ball, these are three different types of players, and Germany, Germany has a lot of player options, and the characteristics are also very different, very rich.

But in England, you'll find that almost all the players are similar, Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard, Allen on the wing? Lennon and Walcott, Carrick and Gareth? Barry......

Of course, after the new generation came out, such as Wilshere, it was eye-catching, but in the past few years, the talent of the England national team has been too scarce, and the technical and tactical characteristics are also very monotonous, especially the lack of players with outstanding individual ability to carry the ball, resulting in the team's effective offensive means have to rely on the Beckham type of long passer.

So over the years, some people have even said that England's attacking method is one Beckham plus ten teammates.

With the aging of Beckham, since the World Cup in South Africa, everyone has gradually realized this problem, coupled with the rise of a new generation of players such as Wilshere, Beckham has gradually been squeezed out of the main lineup, more as the spiritual leader of the team, and his role in the team is getting smaller and smaller.

Retirement has become the consensus of everyone, and the difference is only a matter of time.

Ye Qiu and Beckham's conversation was after the training session, and it was already evening.

"Just like the sun, there will always be a time to go down." Beckham said with a smile that he had taken it lightly.

After all, his retirement has been linked to him in the past few years, and even after he was unable to play the main team, there were rumors that he was going to retire almost every year, but Beckham always insisted because he wanted to participate in the Olympics.

"Pierce told me that your strong support made him finally make up his mind, thank you!" Beckham was very grateful to Ye Qiu, because he knew very well that without Ye Qiu's words, Pierce might not have made up his mind.

As many people have said, whether Beckham is selected or not is highly controversial, but he can finally be selected, and Ye Qiu's support must have played a big role.

Ye Qiu smiled faintly, he had already taken a very light view of this kind of meritorious thing, if he really wanted to grab the credit, he would not have been able to get to where he is today, "What are your plans after retiring?" Coach? ”

Beckham has already attended Tottenham Hotspur's coaching training courses and has also obtained an A-level coaching certificate, if you look at the certificate level, he already has the qualification to coach alone, compared to a large number of unlicensed managers in England, at least he has a certificate.

"That's another point I want to talk to you about!" Beckham laughed.

"Let's go, go to my office!"

The two of them went up the stairs to the second floor one after the other, passing by the coach's room. Tasotti and others are still seriously studying and discussing tomorrow's training program, and although there is no Champions League game in midweek, the Red Devils will welcome Manchester United at the weekend, although it is a home game, but it is also a big event.

As Alex Ferguson predicted last November, if Tottenham Hotspur were to remain in the Premier League leadership position at the end of March, the thirtieth round of the Premier League, after the 30th round of the Premier League, the league title would be completely out of doubt.

Because before the 30th round, Tottenham Hotspur will play all the duels against the strong teams, and the opponents they will meet after 30 rounds are not strong, so now for Manchester United, sniping Tottenham Hotspur to win the championship has become their number one goal.

Although Tottenham Hotspur can't win the championship, it will be cheaper for the two sworn rivals Manchester City and Liverpool, but no matter what, Ferguson will not let Tottenham Hotspur win the first four consecutive titles in the English top league, which is unprecedented in the 100-year history of English football.

Although Tottenham Hotspur is far inferior to the giants in terms of the number of titles, the problem is that if Tottenham Hotspur is allowed to sweep the Premier League so strongly, allowing this north London team to build its own giant confidence and domineering, then it will be very, very difficult to challenge Tottenham Hotspur again in the future.

Over the years, Manchester United and Ferguson have consciously wanted to prepare for future successors, such as constantly introducing young rookies and metabolizing the team, but everyone knows that once Ferguson retires, no matter who the successor is, with the financial situation of Manchester United and the Glazer family, it will inevitably cause a decline in performance.

On the other hand, Tottenham Hotspur, which will take over Stratford Stadium in 2012, will increase its fiscal revenue by at least 150 million pounds a year, which is a conservative estimate, according to Deloitte's assessment, it should be around 200 million pounds, which will make Tottenham Hotspur's financial revenue exceed that of Manchester United and Real Madrid.

This is a very fast-growing team, if Florentino made the debt-ridden Real Madrid the most profitable giant team in Europe in less than two years, relying on the sale of the legacy left by the Bernabeu period, then now, Ye Qiu is going to become the Bernabeu of Tottenham Hotspur.

With Tottenham's revenues skyrocketing and Manchester United slumping, who can challenge Tottenham Hotspur in this situation? Especially considering that if Tottenham Hotspur's superstar players stay, who will be able to shake Tottenham's competitiveness in the Premier League in the coming years?

Many people only see what they are looking for, and they only see Ye Qiu constantly selling people and players in the past few years, but they ignore a very important key issue, the funds he has obtained are either invested in the team's software and hardware construction, or invested in some long-term income projects with strong value preservation.

To paraphrase a phrase from Ye Qiu's hometown, those are investments that will benefit future generations, especially with the development of London as one of the world's leading financial centers, those real estate development projects will bring an endless stream of financial revenue to Tottenham Hotspur in the future, as long as London does not fall, ten years later, Tottenham Hotspur will continue to stand.

So Ferguson said in a previous interview that to beat Tottenham Hotspur, it must be in these two seasons!

It can also be expected that Manchester United will definitely fight Tottenham Hotspur to the end in this game, because this is Ferguson's last chance to break Tottenham Hotspur's unbeaten record, break Tottenham Hotspur's unbeaten golden body, or at least shake Tottenham Hotspur's unbeaten myth.

Therefore, Ye Qiu also attaches great importance to this game, fortunately, between the two games between Arsenal and Manchester United, there is a week of rest, and they can prepare well.

Walked into Ye Qiu's office, and after the host and guest sat down, Ye Qiu took out the famous tea Jin Junmei in his hometown of Fujian in recent years, which is a very popular black tea recently.

"I've heard you say before that you're planning to buy a major league team in the United States, how is it going?" Beckham watched Ye Qiu boiling water to make tea, and he was very busy, for him who often spent time with Ye Qiu, he was used to it.

"Are you interested?" Ye Qiu smiled, Beckham still has a very strong market appeal in the United States.

Beckham nodded, "I almost played in the MLS before, you know that!" ”

"Football in the United States has developed very rapidly in recent years, although it is still behind baseball, football and basketball, but in recent years, American football has developed very fast, the World Cup round of 16, the Federation Cup runner-up and the Copa America champion, American football is developing at a high speed, especially after Klinsmann became the head coach of the United States!"

Ye Qiu is more familiar with Klinsmann, the German coach's coaching ability is undoubted, Bayern's setback cannot explain the problem, so Ye Qiu is very optimistic about his trip to the United States, and the results of the national team will inevitably further drive the domestic football market in the United States, so since two years ago, Ye Qiu has been evaluating American football.

"We basically have two options now, either New York or Miami, the former has the New York Red Bulls, the latter doesn't have a professional team at the moment, both are very potential football markets, and the major leagues have also approached us and said that if we are willing to build a team, they are willing to give preferential treatment in all aspects, including franchise fees."

To form a major league team, you need to pay a franchise fee of $75 million, but the preferential treatment given by the major leagues is $25 million, and even if you talk about it again, it is estimated that it can be reduced to $20 million, mainly because of the current strength of Tottenham Hotspur and the influence brought by Ye Qiu.

"If you're interested, I can count you in for a share!" Ye Qiu sent an invitation to Beckham.

To be honest, it is impossible for this world to be cheap, and all the benefits are swallowed by you alone, so the truly successful people are often those who know how to balance benefits and know how to share benefits with others.

Not just Beckham, if the time comes, if other stars in the team are interested, they can also take out the investment and calculate the shares according to the proportion of their respective investments.

"I think Miami is a little better!" Beckham smiled and offered his opinion.

This is one of the largest urban areas in the United States, and its economic strength is not inferior to that of the rest of the United States, and more importantly, there are no major league teams here, and according to the plan of the major leagues, major league teams will be added in the next few years, and by 2020, a major league competition consisting of twenty-four leagues will be formed.

So from any point of view, it's a very potential investment, even if you wait until the time is right to sell the team and you can make a lot of money.

At the very least, no one can deny that in the next few decades, no matter how much the US economy declines, it will still be one of the countries with the most spending power in the world.

Sending Beckham away, Ye Qiu sat on the sofa in the office, but he was thinking about another thing in his heart, forming a team in the United States, this is not just Tottenham Hotspur CEO Peter? Kenyon's idea is also supported by Chen Zhong of Huangtian Group, who also hopes to become a shareholder of this team and further increase Huangtian Group's investment in the United States.

In fact, many people have a very serious misunderstanding about this world, that is, conspiracy theories.

They will feel that the world is full of intrigues, and even have a masochistic tendency, and they will think that all the countries in the world, everything is aimed at you, if you analyze it carefully, is it very similar to Mourinho's psychology, and the Portuguese created his psychology because of low self-esteem.

Each country has its own national conditions and characteristics, and it also has its own rules of the game.

Of course, the current world's top economic order is designated by Westerners, just as it is a truth that the rules and arbitration of the world's top football events are controlled by Westerners, but this should not be a reason and excuse for you to think that you are being bullied, because when you first wanted to enter this world, you already knew the facts, and you can't say that I was bullied and say that you are domineering.

Yes, they're domineering, but it's not a day and a half thing, they've always been so domineering, you know, either you don't get close to them, or you have to learn the rules of their game.

To use what Ye Qiu and Chen Zhong said at the beginning, use their rules and defeat them in their rules!

This is a world of conspiracy, and although conspiracy theories prevail, it is the conspiracy that dominates this world.

Ye Qiu has witnessed very big changes in recent years, that is, since China joined the WTO, it has gone from being free from the rules at the beginning, to now integrating into the rules, and even using the rules, which is a very gratifying and congratulatory change, because only in this way can you be qualified to talk about defeating your opponents and changing the rules.

It's like a lot of people are attacking U.S. trade protectionism and U.S. rejection of Chinese companies, but do they know how much of this is caused by Chinese companies entering the game without understanding the rules of the U.S. game?

Every country has trade protection, this is the basic national conditions, you don't understand these basic national conditions to enter, this is your problem!

Who still knows that throughout the eighties, Japan guaranteed a trade surplus of $40 billion a year with $400 million in lobbying investment, which was a huge investment at the time, but who were the biggest customers of those lobbying firms under the US Capitol in recent years? It's China!

In June 05, there was a scandal in the United States, and the Republican leader Tom? DeLay is implicated in a lobbying scandal totaling $66 million in which a group of U.S. congressmen were persuaded by six casinos in Washington to stop rivals from building new casinos, threatening their lucrative deals.

In August of the same year, during a visit to the United States, the Chinese State Councilor announced in an interview that the embassy in the United States had hired the famous Patton Patton in Washington. Boggs lobbied for itself in the U.S. Congress, with a commission of $22,000 a month.

This is only part of it, but from this, we can find that this is a normal and very common thing, because under the framework of the US Constitution, this kind of lobbying is not only not criticized, but encouraged, so lobbying is a national condition and characteristic of the United States, and you have to learn to use it and make good use of it.

Since the internal reorganization of Ye Technology and the spin-off of companies including Facebook and Twitter, these subsidiaries have begun to accept acquisitions from some investment companies in the United States, sold a lot of shares, and are currently actively promoting the listing, which is also a big cake thrown by Ye Qiu to those big American chaebols.

When you have a good relationship with these big chaebols, when you have enough financial resources to influence the election of US congressmen and even the president, you can do whatever you want, and this is the rule of the game in the United States!

Then maybe someone will jump out and say, you idiot, it is not the president and Congress that really control the United States, nor the big conglomerates that put them on the façade, but the financial predators who control the Federal Reserve.

This is the result of too many typical conspiracy theories, because Ye Qiu has always felt that currency wars are a good book, but they are only limited to reading it, don't worship it as the truth, there are many, many things in it that cannot withstand scrutiny, including the so-called control of the Federal Reserve.

In the words of the predecessors, it is better to believe in books than to have no books!

In this world, the answers to all questions can only be found by yourself, different people will find different answers, that is their own answer, but if you feel that finding the answer is too hard and too tired, then you can also choose to accept the answer of others, but this choice of yours will make you stay where you will always be, never know the real answer.

Not to mention, there will be many, many people in this world, who know that the answer is not like this at all, but for some purposes, for some interests, he will do everything possible to tell you with all kinds of methods and evidence, this is the answer.

Do you believe it or not?

Anyway, Ye Qiu didn't believe it!

Because he prefers to find the answer for himself, as if he were convinced that the world is a world with traces, full of order, and full of all kinds of rules.

It seems that in the past few years, the development of Tottenham Hotspur is to climb up step by step, and finally, unconsciously, everyone has discovered and realized that Tottenham Hotspur has become a top giant that is famous in Europe and the world, and this is the rule of the game in European football!

You can play by not playing by such rules as Chelsea's Roman Abramovich, but you're going to struggle to stay in the system for a long time, and unless you learn the rules slowly and follow them, you're bound to get strikeouts.

Running a company, running a team, or, being a person, it's essentially the same.

Even if you zoom in, isn't the so-called civilized world a world full of all kinds of rules?
