On May 17, London on this day belonged to Tottenham Hotspur

The last time they won a European competition was in 1984, when they won the UEFA Cup, and Tottenham Hotspur had never won the Champions League in their history, so it was exciting for all Tottenham Hotspur fans to win the UEFA Cup again after a 23-year absence.

Tottenham Hotspur also changed the low-key style of the past, more do and less talk, but took a more flamboyant approach, after winning the title last night, the club informed the public that the team will travel south from Glasgow, Scotland, back to London in the near afternoon, and this time the team will arrive at Heathrow Airport.

So, the time has not yet come, but Heathrow Airport has already gathered countless Tottenham Hotspur fans from far and wide, and if it should have belonged to west London teams such as Chelsea and Fulham according to its geographical location, it has now become a place for Tottenham Hotspur fans to celebrate their UEFA Cup victory.

This group of fans either drove their own cars or took buses under the operation of fan organizations, but the number of them was very large, at least more than 10,000, because Tottenham Hotspur had not won a title for a long, long time in the past, or had not celebrated it.

When everyone in the team arrived at Heathrow Airport, the scene was already in order with the police and airport security in order, and the players walked out of the gate with the UEFA Cup trophy held high, to the cheers of all the Tottenham Hotspur fans in the stadium.

Walking out of the waiting hall, the team's bus was already waiting here, accompanied by another championship trophy, that is, the League Cup winner of the Premier League this season, and when the players got on the bus, the two championship trophies were placed together in the most prominent position on the roof of the uncovered bus.

HHC TV and Sky TV have specially sent a filming team to follow up and report, and I saw that all Tottenham Hotspur fans were led by the team's open-top bus, and the traffic was busy going north, and it was all shocking along the way.

Everyone can see that this is deliberately done by Tottenham Hotspur fans, just to celebrate on the turf of their sworn enemies and disgust them, but it is more regrettable that the team could not enter the city, so there is no way to pass outside Arsenal's Emirates Stadium, otherwise, I believe this celebration will be more enjoyable.

But no matter what, Tottenham Hotspur fans are extremely satisfied to get to where they are today.

London is an international metropolis in the end, there is no way to parade the whole city after winning the championship like in some small and medium-sized cities, such as Liverpool or Manchester, London has no way to do this, whether it is the city government or the district council, they have given certain restrictions to Tottenham Hotspur's championship celebration parade route.

Moreover, Tottenham Hotspur's geographical location is north of London, a certain distance from the city, so no matter how you travel, you can't swim in the city of London, and there is no way to enter the area where Arsenal is located, even if the district council and the city government make an exception to relax the restrictions because Tottenham Hotspur won the League Cup, there is no way.

After all, winning the championship is a good thing, but if the restrictions are really relaxed, let you go to the parade, and then disrupt the traffic order in London, the damage is immeasurable, after all, in such a victory parade celebration, it is not uncommon for riots or troublemakers to occur, so the government and the police are also more serious.

Still the same as before, Ye Qiu did not participate in the team's celebration since he arrived at Heathrow Airport, he let the players get on the bus and celebrate with the fans, while he himself privately took the bus north and returned to the White Hart Lane stadium.

The coming summer is still going to be a busy one, as Tottenham Hotspur move their training base to Theorebold in Hertfordshire this summer, and there will be plenty of things going on in both the athletic and commercial departments.

Equipment purchases are almost over, but recruitment continues, especially considering that everything is about to start on track after the team restarts training in July, and there will be more and more preparations for this summer.

Ye Qiu also fully considered that the team has just moved to a new training base, and both the players and the coaching staff need a period of adaptation, so this summer, the team's training camp will not be arranged outside, but all will be carried out in the Theobald training base, and even the team's warm-up matches will be arranged around London as much as possible.

The only foreign event was that Ye Qiu promised Ajax that he would go to Amsterdam to participate in the Amsterdam Cup Invitational Tournament organized by Ajax, and Ye Qiu had no way to refuse invitations from his old club and old friends, after all, he had always hoped to have more cooperation with Ajax.

In the summer of this year, Ye Qiu decided to bring Marcelo, a left-back who was previously bought out but loaned at Ajax, to London, for this, Tottenham Hotspur has reached an agreement with Ajax, and Marcelo will come to London in July to train with the team

For any football club in Europe's top league, transfers are the focus of every summer

In addition to introducing Marcelo, Tottenham Hotspur also hopes to appropriately increase the number of young players in the team to prepare for the future youth training places, so he is also looking for several young players who have more potential and meet the needs of Tottenham Hotspur as a reserve for the future.

Next season, Tottenham Hotspur will play on four fronts: the Champions League, the Premier League, the League Cup and the FA Cup, especially the Champions League.

You must know that the Champions League and the League Cup are not at the same level at all, and the competition in the former is far more cruel than the League Cup, so this season Tottenham Hotspur can easily hold on to the League Cup and the Premier League on the two main fronts, but Ye Qiu firmly believes that if Tottenham Hotspur wants to keep good results on both fronts next season, they must strengthen the team lineup, and then let a group of young players play in the cup

In addition to the transfer signings, Tottenham Hotspur also has a very important job to do this summer, which is to renew the contract.

With a number of players in the squad performing well this season, contract extensions have become inevitable and there is no more convincing counter-attack than a contract extension when there is constant rumours in the transfer market, so it will be a key focus for Tottenham Hotspur this summer.

"We've done really well this season, but we're still young and we can continue to improve next season, so one of the most important challenges for us this summer is to keep the current squad stable."

In the chairman's office at White Hart Lane, Ye Qiu called a number of club executives, including Eliza Moon and Robert Milson, as well as Mauro Tasottti, Peter Brandt, Roland Shepas and other core members of the athletic department to his office for a meeting.

This group of Tottenham Hotspur executives will meet every once in a while, the location is uncertain, sometimes at the training base, sometimes at the White Hart Lane stadium, and even sometimes Yu Crisp meets out for dinner together, and has meetings by the way, which is very free.

Therefore, many people say that Ye Qiu and Eliza Moon brought the management of Ye Technology into the football club.

But today it's noticeably different, because there's one more person than in the past, very old, very old, and that's the new head of scouting.

"Judging from past experience, almost all the middle and lower teams with excellent performance are difficult to maintain the team's high-level performance and maintain the team's combat effectiveness, a very important reason is the loss of players, or their lack of long-term planning and ambition"

Just like Everton, Ye Qiu often feels that this team has missed the opportunity to rise, which is true, but the problem is that Everton's management may not have thought about rising at all, for them, it is also a very good choice to take advantage of the team's good performance to get a vote, and they are already willing to accept the current status quo of the team.

As a team in Liverpool, if it is in other commercially underdeveloped cities, or even some poorer cities, the football clubs here are strictly restricted by the city's economy, no matter how good the team's results are, they will never be able to do well and not be strong, so they can only choose to get a vote to be satisfied.

Looking at all the top clubs, almost all the teams that have been competitive for a long time have been in the big cities, while some other cities may have had good successes, such as Nottingham Forest, but in the end the foundation is relatively weak and will not be able to last.

Ye Qiu still remembers that he had read an analysis in his previous life, and the reason why the Bundesliga developed steadily and progressed in the past few years, and even the major clubs maintained healthy operations, many people thought that the Football Association and club policies played a key role, but in fact, the German economy was also a key factor.

Just like Bayern Munich, also as a giant, but Bayern Munich's income in terms of business operation is second to none among the major European giants, there is Bayern Munich's emphasis on the relationship between management, but there is also the German economy proud of the EU countries, after all, with Germany's excellent economic background, it is much easier to operate.

Therefore, when choosing the team to be acquired, Ye Qiu always only set his sights on London.

There are indeed a lot of Premier League teams here, and the competition is very fierce, but as an international metropolis, there are also a lot of opportunities, and even for Tottenham Hotspur, for Ye Qiu and Eliza Moon, staying in London is equivalent to getting twice the result with half the effort, because they themselves have very good resources and channels.

Now, Tottenham Hotspur has an external objective environment and conditions, and what is lacking is its own accumulation.

And what is accumulation?

Accumulation does not mean that if you have good results today, you will immediately sell the players who have performed well, and then introduce a new batch of players, re-run-in, re-adjust, re-grow and improve, such a team does not mean that it can't win the championship, but it can't achieve the giants at all, because his results will always fluctuate.

What the real giants need is a long-term stable result, which is to maintain the stability of the team's lineup after the team performs well, so that the team's results can continue to rise.

Hearing Ye Qiu say this, Eliza Moon smiled, which immediately made the group of men in Ye Qiu's office involuntarily a little dazzled, "Real Madrid and Barcelona are very sincere, and they are asking about the price of Ribery." ”

After hearing this, Ye Qiu shook his head, "Not for sale"

Ribery has performed well this season, his goal count is second in the team, second only to Ruud van Nistelrooy, Ye Qiu has always placed him in an important part of the team's tactics, so he will not let Ribery transfer, and he also believes that as long as he does not let go, Ribery will not take the initiative to leave.

Ye Qiu still understands the character of this French scarface, and he can't say how loyal he is, but as long as Ye Qiu wants to stay, he will definitely not refuse, and Ye Qiu is still very sure of this.

"What about Fanny?" Eliza Moon asked, "It's not just Real Madrid who want him, Juventus, AC Milan and Inter Milan are interested in him, and he's going to be 31 years old soon." ”

The last sentence was obviously a reminder to Ye Qiu that Van Nistelrooy was a veteran.

And in the past, Ye Qiu also revealed his thoughts to Eliza when he communicated in private, that is, to support Van Persie to come up and form a frontcourt trident with Ribery and Messi, and if there is a suitable offer, it will not be a good thing to sell Vanney.

"From a competitive point of view, Ruud van Nistelrooy has really dropped in the second half of the season, and the goal rate is still good, and the important factor is that the team has a strong ability to create chances, and from a tactical point of view, Ruud van Nistelrooy has really been a little unable to meet the team's current requirements," Peter Brandt also put forward his own analysis.

Peter Brandt is in charge of the team's research centre and is tasked with giving professional advice when the team makes decisions, such as bringing in and selling players, which he will give a report to evaluate.

Tottenham Hotspur's attacking mix up front is ideally chaotic at best.

This kind of disorder is not the kind of mess that everyone thinks, or even play on the spot, no, this kind of disorder still has his order in the final analysis, and has some of his fixed routines, but the player's position and running are more flexible, constantly interspersed with running in front, looking for opportunities, and cooperating with each other tacitly.

Robin van Persie, Franck Ribery and Lionel Messi all have such qualities, as well as Edinson Cavani, Carroll, Arshavin and Ashley Young are also good additions to the team, and if such a tactic is to be played, the striker in the middle must have a strong ability to play on the wings and drop back to get the ball, but Ruud van Nistelrooy obviously does not have this, and even his running is on a downward trend.

Ye Qiu didn't have much opinion on selling Fanny, but he glanced at Robert Milson, the head of the news department.

The latter was also looking at Ye Qiu, and he also had to pay attention to Ye Qiu's thoughts and opinions, so when Ye Qiu looked at him, he immediately smiled and shrugged his shoulders, "Now the fans really like Vanney, and many media have also portrayed Vanney as the guarantee of our team's goals, but if the club still decides to sell him, we can operate." ”

Ye Qiu thought for a while, shook his head and reminded: "I have to correct a little, we will not take the initiative to sell Vanney, but as long as the offer is suitable and the players themselves do not object, we will consider it"

These words made Eliza Moon smile, and glared at Ye Qiu angrily, this guy wants fame and fortune, not only to sell Vanney, but also to take the opportunity to make a price increase, and at the same time hope to appease the fans, at least to create a feeling that Tottenham Hotspur is not very reluctant, but the other party is digging people very fiercely, and the team can't keep people.

However, it must be said that this is the operation method of all clubs, otherwise, if you really want to stay, who will leave?

Even if it was Arsenal's Ashley Cole, if Wenger was really angry and wanted to keep people, Chelsea would not only not be able to poach him, but he might even suffer a lawsuit because of this, but Arsenal itself did have the idea of selling people at that time.

There are also super sky-high transfers like Zidane, Ronaldo, and even Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka later, even if many fans think it is, but in fact, in the final analysis, it is a deal between the two parties.

"Davies is going back to the Netherlands, Huddlestone is also sold, so our midfield is a little weak, we need to bring in more players, in addition to the central defender, if I see the right one, I want to bring in a central defender, sell Mike Dawson" Ye Qiu, as the head coach of the team and the owner of the team, said this is also deliberate.

Huddlestone can't play at the current Tottenham Hotspur, and even the position is not as good as Lucas Rewa, and the style is incompatible with the team, so Yu Crisp is sold, and Mike Dawson is not the type of central defender that Ye Qiu likes, this England central defender's skills are indeed too rough, and the defense is more frizzy.

Tottenham Hotspur's entire team's offensive and defensive system, passing and receiving is a very important part, and if you carefully observe the Tottenham Hotspur game, it must not be difficult to find that even if the two fullbacks often actively move forward, the two central defenders must be behind, serving as the team's receiving point for the ball and possession.

If the lagging central defender is not able to receive and play the ball enough, or if there is a problem when he is pressed, then Tottenham Hotspur's possession will not only not work, but will become the team's biggest hidden danger, when the time comes, all teams will force your central defender to grab, forcing you to play the ball blindly, or even make mistakes on your own.

It is also worth mentioning here that some people think that Mike Dawson and Terry are very similar, but Ye Qiu feels that the biggest difference between the two is that they stop the ball and play the ball, Terry can ensure the minimum stability, and Mike Dawson can't help it, just for this point, Ye Qiu bets that Mike Dawson will not reach Terry's height in his life.

After a round of discussion and research, Ye Qiu also found that although he hoped that the team would be tinkering with small fights, in fact, after this round of operation, the team's movements were still not small, and the three lines would be in and out, and even if the introduction of more powerful players, the price would be equally expensive.

But Ye Qiu knew very well that this was the path that any team had to take.

For any professional club team, the professional league is like sailing against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat

Therefore, from the moment he took over Tottenham Hotspur, it was already doomed that he would not be able to go back, and could only keep leading the team, leading this group of players, and continuing to move forward.
