On January 27, in the 23rd round of the English Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur defeated the city team Fulham 0 at home with goals from Ribery and Falcao, and continued to remain unbeaten, which is already Tottenham Hotspur's unbeaten in 22 rounds.

On January 30, Tottenham Hotspur took on Birmingham City, and goals from Lionel Messi and Thiago Silva helped the team to reverse their opponents and get another three points.

After 24 rounds of Premier League play, Tottenham Hotspur has won 20 and drawn 3, with 63 points, and is at the top of the Premier League table with one game in hand, followed by Chelsea and Manchester United, and the Blues have also been quite good in recent times.

Further down the table, Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester City, Aston Villa and West Ham United are all in contention for fourth place in the league and qualification for the UEFA Cup.

However, compared with the fierce competition in the Premier League, the transfer market during the winter break seems a bit flat, not only the Premier League, but also the transfer market in Europe during the winter break is relatively calm, which has led to Tottenham Hotspur's football economic forum Although it has been very successful, the transaction volume has fallen to a record low, which is a bit thunderous and rainy.

However, if you take a closer look at the current situation, it will not be surprising.

Four months from now, the South African World Cup is coming, and for all the current internationals who are hoping to participate in the World Cup, changing the team will undoubtedly need to bear the risk of losing the qualification for the World Cup, because transfers often represent many uncertainties, and if they are injured or unsuitable and become substitutes, it is likely that their four-year wait will come to naught.

Because of this, almost all powerful internationals will not choose to transfer at such a time.

Another factor is that the economy is indeed sluggish, especially with the arrival of the European debt crisis, the team's business operations have indeed encountered problems, in this case, it is not surprising that any team must be cautious and tighten the monetary base.

The biggest team in the Premier League's winter break was Birmingham with £6 million, while in the entire European transfer market, the biggest spender was Russia's Dynamo Moscow with €13.2 million, while Shakhtar Donetsk came in second with €12 million.

Looking at the general trend of the entire European football world, it is not difficult to find that almost all teams are tightening their monetary base, and even trying to throttle by all means, because with the advent of the economic crisis, with the outbreak of the subprime mortgage crisis, business operations will become more and more difficult.

Therefore, it can be seen that in the last two days of the transfer market, Manchester United at the Hilton Park Road Hotel in the east of Hyde Park in London, on the Football Economic Forum, got the loan of six youth players in one go, and Liverpool, Arsenal and other teams are also carrying out the same operation.

Manchester City sent away Robinho, a big salaryman who has been making trouble, and went back to Brazil on loan, but he loaned Vieira from Inter Milan, and his salary has also declined, but Mancini also wants to get Real Madrid's Van der Vaart and Gago, but Real Madrid pursued a no-in, no-out strategy during the winter break this season.

Barcelona and Tottenham Hotspur also adopt a no-in, no-go strategy, because neither team has anything in particular to strengthen and the overall strength is relatively good.

But throughout the winter break, loans and free transfers have undoubtedly become mainstream, and this is an effective throttling measure taken by many teams to balance the team's budget, so this summer, free transfers, such as loans or free transfers, have taken up surprising heights in the transfer market.

Tottenham Hotspur has little interest in throttling, because Ye Qiu's team has always done a good job in controlling the financial and salary structure, and the team's commercial development is in a stage of rapid development, even if it encounters an economic crisis, Tottenham Hotspur can still make up for it by effectively developing emerging markets in the Middle East, Asia, Africa and other regions.

For example, around Christmas, Tottenham Hotspur has signed licensing contracts for telecommunications operators in eight countries in the Middle East, which will bring Tottenham Hotspur a lucrative licensing fee every year, including Kuwait, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar and other countries' telecommunications operators can use Tottenham Hotspur's emblem and players' portrait rights when promoting and promoting.

This also has a lot to do with the regional nature of the telecom operator, so when contacting sponsors, Tottenham Hotspur also treated them separately and did not sign exclusivity clauses, so as to achieve maximum benefits

With little pressure on the salary structure, a steady increase in commercial operations, and a reasonable squad, Tottenham Hotspur will not need to do anything during the winter break, and in talks with Peter Kenyon and Rob Newman of Moon Sports Services, everyone is very certain that the situation is expected to remain unchanged by the summer transfer.

In other words, even if there is an impact of the World Cup this summer, it is still difficult to expect a transfer boom.

But there will certainly be some exceptions, such as Real Madrid and Barcelona, two membership-based teams that don't need to worry about financial pressure at all, and their only purpose of making money is to bring in stars, so it is expected that they will be able to continue to spend big.

As for Chelsea, even if Shevchenko, a big salaryman, has been sent away this summer, but unfortunately, Ballack is still in the team, and Chelsea's salary has skyrocketed in the past few years, and the operating pressure will still be great, and it is still difficult for Abramovich to invest heavily in Chelsea.

Truth be told, rich people are not stupid, on the contrary, each of these rich people is more shrewd than the other.

It is as if the Qatari consortium that was rumored to buy Manchester United not long ago, after being deterred by the high price of the Glazer family, shifted its target to Liverpool, but also encountered some problems in the process of buying the Reds, and was forced to change the target again, and this time, they have a very good chance of success.

"I've just been informed that the Qatari consortium has basically reached an agreement with Newcastle's shareholders and is expected to complete the acquisition of Newcastle in April, and once completed, there will be a strong team in the Premier League again" Rob Newman, CEO of Moon Sports Services, has a better source of information than anyone else.

After Ye Qiu and Peter Kenyon listened, the expressions on their faces were not relaxed.

Newcastle is currently in the Championship is unbeatable, and the possibility of promotion to the Premier League is very high, if the Qatari consortium is in charge, coupled with Newcastle's return to the Premier League, it is bound to cause a storm in the transfer market, which is indeed a huge benefit for the sluggish Premier League and European transfer market, but for competitors, it may not be.

Now there are many strong teams in the Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool are the five strong teams, of which Tottenham Hotspur is a new strong team, but its strength has also been proven and affirmed, and the strength of the other four teams should not be underestimated, after all, they all have their own solid foundations.

Further down, Manchester City and West Ham United are upstarts, relying on waving the pound in their hands, they are also rapidly strengthening their own strength, coupled with the already not weak Everton, Aston Villa and other teams, the competitive pressure of the Premier League is very high, if you add a Newcastle next season, it will be a nightmare

"Is the information reliable?" Ye Qiu asked Rob Newman cautiously.

"Pretty much," the latter replied, but didn't say much either.

After Peter Kenyon heard this, he smiled wryly, "It seems that the Premier League will become lively in the future"

The Qatari consortium will not make a loss-making transaction, although the specific acquisition amount is not clear, but it should not be too expensive, but the Newcastle they acquired is a traditional powerhouse in the Premier League, and the Magpies are the team with the largest number of fans in England, and they are also the most popular team in the country, and even have a high reputation in the world.

If it were at the turn of the century, Newcastle would have been a traditional powerhouse in the Premier League

Not only that, Newcastle itself is one of the most famous big cities in the United Kingdom, the political, commercial and cultural center of the North of England, and the most popular city in the United Kingdom, and the Newcastle Club is the symbol and flag of the city.

At this time, Newcastle is indeed a well-calculated transaction, because first of all, Newcastle was relegated to the Championship, although there is the financial support of the Premier League parachute, but the team itself is very financially bad, and the relegation makes Newcastle almost desperate, which is undoubtedly a very good opportunity to buy the bottom.

With the acquisition of England's most popular team, the Qatari consortium will undoubtedly gain both fame and fortune, not only with the help of Newcastle to build its own popularity and brand, but also with the help of Newcastle, landing in the UK for multi-faceted investment, such as real estate and some basic industries, which are very interesting industries for Middle Eastern consortiums.

From an investment point of view, although the purchase of Manchester United can create a huge influence and momentum, but it is also difficult and the investment is also large, but it is not as good as the crisp acquisition of Newcastle, the difference between the purchase price of the two teams is more than one billion euros, which can fully guarantee that after the Qatari consortium acquires Newcastle, it will introduce a superstar every year for ten consecutive years.

Think about it, which way of acquisition is cheaper? Which acquisition method is more beneficial?

If you stand from the perspective of a bystander, the Qatari consortium has undoubtedly made a shrewd deal, and if you stand from the perspective of the fans, it is natural to welcome the Qatari consortium, a large consortium with total assets of tens of billions, to enter the Premier League, because it can bring more stars, but Ye Qiu is not worried from the perspective of competitors, after all, the pressure of competition is high, and there is not much benefit to Tottenham Hotspur.

In fact, many people have not noticed that the reason why Tottenham Hotspur was able to defend the Champions League last season and won the Premier League title is actually related to the fact that the competitive pressure of the Premier League is not very strong.

But before the new stadium arrives, Ye Qiu will definitely not adjust the current team's business strategy, so if you want to strengthen your strength, you have to dig from the team itself, such as youth training丨For example, the introduction of some high-quality and inexpensive players that meet the needs of the team, and so on.

But in general, the iron must be hard, and Tottenham Hotspur still has to ensure the strength of the team, which is the king

While Ye Qiu was worried that the competition in the Premier League would become more and more fierce after the Qatari consortium bought Newcastle, Tottenham Hotspur finally stopped their unbeaten record.

January 27th, 30th, February 3rd, February 6th, February 10th, this is the schedule of Tottenham Hotspur in the past period, of which February 3 is a make-up match of 18 rounds, and if you count Tottenham Hotspur's intensive schedule in January, the team's schedule after the winter break is indeed very dense, almost two games a week.

In such a dense schedule, Tottenham Hotspur won Blackburn Rovers 0 away on 3 February, and then on 6 February, L beat Aston Villa, who are currently seventh in the Premier League, but on 10 February, the team finally had problems, losing 0L away to Wolves, who are currently in 19th place, and the loss was indeed a bag.

With Tottenham Hotspur suffering their first defeat of the season, the team has played 22 wins, three draws and one defeat in 26 rounds, accumulating an astonishing performance of 69 points, ahead of Chelsea's 58 points and Manchester United's 57 points, leading the Premier League table by almost absolute advantage.

More importantly, Tottenham Hotspur is not only the most attacking team in the Premier League and Europe, but also the best team in the Premier League and Europe.

Looking at this season's Premier League scorer list, many people say that it is Tottenham Hotspur's internal competition, Colombian center forward Romedal Falcao is currently the first scorer with 30 goals in 26 rounds, and in second place is Lionel Messi, the Argentine has scored a total of 28 goals, including two big quadruple goals, the most recent of which was the team's big win over Aston Villa.

In addition, Ribery is also in the top 10 of the standings, and the French Scarface is also the first player in the assist list, the second assist king is Cesc Fabregas, the third assist king is Messi, and people like David Silva, Alves and others have also performed very well, plus the game against Aston Villa, left-back Marcelo has an eye-catching performance, and Tottenham Hotspur's entire offensive system is extremely surprising, bringing disaster to all opponents.

Therefore, for the unexpected defeat to Wolves away from home, the media have speculated that Tottenham Hotspur is likely to start to decline, but the reaction of fans is relatively mild, thinking that the team has performed so well this season, and the long-term physical fitness is not sustained, and the away defeat is understandable.

Ye Qiu also gave the home team a fair evaluation of the team's loss to Wolves, thinking that Wolves performed better, while Tottenham Hotspur encountered some problems, the players did not show the strength they should have, and this also had something to do with the large rotation when he played Wolves.

But no matter what, losing is losing, and Ye Qiu didn't defend himself too much.

After a game against Wolves in the FA Cup, Tottenham Hotspur travelled to Bolton Wanderers, and the young players drew with Bolton, who are currently 19th in the Premier League, with Aaron Ramsey scoring the equaliser for Tottenham Hotspur in the second half.

However, just three days later, Tottenham Hotspur faced the first leg of the Champions League last-16 knockout tie away to Porto, but the team got off to a poor start, finding the back of the net in less than three minutes by Porto's opening attack, and then Ziglinski took advantage of a free-kick opportunity to head in the equaliser for Tottenham.

But in the second half, Porto striker Barella scored another goal to help Porto defeat Tottenham Hotspur at home.

This battle completely set off the outside world's worries about Tottenham Hotspur, and even many media have played the remarks that Tottenham Hotspur has no role in the Champions League this season, because in the past Champions League knockout history, most of the champion teams have remained unbeaten in the knockout round.

Therefore, Tottenham Hotspur's defeat, especially the defeat to a team like Porto, made many media think that it is difficult for Tottenham Hotspur to make a difference in the Champions League.

Ye Qiu knew very well in his heart that the multi-front battle had led to a lot of problems for the team now, but in an interview with the media, he repeatedly said that losing was not a disaster, and he still firmly believed that the team could solve the current difficulties well.

"We are a mature team and I am sure that no one will be intimidated by the difficulties that we are experiencing at the moment

Relatively speaking, Manchester United has been getting better and better since Christmas, and its performance in the Premier League is nothing, but in the Champions League, the first leg of the away game against AC Milan won all the applause, and the front trident and the team's midfield helped the team win this wonderful reversal battle.

The Reds returned from the San Siro in a clash that almost condemned AC Milan to death, at least their hopes of progressing to the round of 16 were very slim.

Tottenham Hotspur lost away, Manchester United reversed away, the situation of the two teams is hugely different, and even quite a lot of media reporters and professionals believe that in the past few games, Tottenham Hotspur's sluggish form is worrying, and it may become a turning point in the Premier League and the Champions League.

Porto coach Jesúaldo Ferreira even said in an interview with Portuguese media after the game that Tottenham Hotspur is not as good as many people think.

"A lot of people tell me that Tottenham Hotspur have the strongest attack in Europe and the most difficult goal to break, but after today's game, I found that Tottenham Hotspur's attack is always out of target, and their goal is as big as the open roof above the Dragons' head."

It is clear that the Porto manager is looking to take advantage of the opportunity to take on Tottenham Hotspur, preferably to provoke his opponents.

In the face of provocation and humiliation from his opponent, Tottenham Hotspur did not make any response, and Ye Qiu also insisted on not fighting with words, because he believed in a sentence, losing is not qualified to justify, fists are the last word
