Frankly speaking, Ye Qiu is not very interested in participating in UEFA's award ceremony and draw ceremony.

But Eliza Moon personally persuaded Ye Qiu to appear, because this time they did have a cooperation with UEFA, of course, it was not Tottenham Hotspur, but an agent company, and after Platini came to power, he treated Ye Qiu more closely, and mentioned Ye Qiu many times before the campaign, and made a personal phone call to Ye Qiu after the election.

Of course, at that time, Tottenham Hotspur had not yet qualified for the Champions League, and the team had just acquired Beckham, so the conversation between Ye Qiu and Platini was more about exchanges at some level of club and European competition.

For Ye Qiu, Platini also did not hesitate to praise, he has mentioned many times that among all the current head coaches, Ye Qiu is the most creative and innovative, worthy of all managers to learn, and these have left a very good impression on Ye Qiu, so this time, he decided to come to participate in the UEFA award ceremony and draw ceremony.

Although Ye Qiu came in person, there was no way to change many things, such as the best lineup.

As the winner of last season's UEFA Cup, Tottenham Hotspur won none of the awards except for one Ruud van Nistelrooy who won the Striker of the Year and the European Golden Boot, and the Coach of the Year award was Carlo Ancelotti.

But in the draw ceremony that followed, Tottenham Hotspur was placed in the fourth pot because of the small number of Champions League points, which is the worst bracket of points, which also made the hearts of all the other teams skip a beat.

Before the draw, Ye Qiu said with a smile in an interview with the media that no matter who Tottenham Hotspur draws, he and the players will not have pressure, and the pressure should be their opponents, "Whoever draws us is unlucky"

The end result was that Valencia, the weakest team in Pot 1 came from La Liga, the weakest team in Pot 2 came from Romania's Stars Bucharest, and Slavia Prague from the Czech Republic, three unlucky teams that became Tottenham Hotspur's group stage opponents.

When the draw was announced, the whole venue was in an uproar, because the possibility and hope of Tottenham Hotspur and Valencia to qualify from the group stage were too great, and the other two opponents looked difficult to compete with the two big four league teams.

But some people think that it is not necessarily, because in the third round of the qualifiers, Slavia Prague eliminated Ajax, who have performed well in the Champions League in the past few years, and Steaua Bucharest eliminated Toulouse from Ligue 1.

Relatively speaking, the other game groupings are more interesting, Manchester United met Roma, last season Roma at Old Trafford in a bloody bloodbath, this bloody tragedy shocked European football, and some even suspected that it was a match-fixing, making Roma ashamed.

Chelsea, on the other hand, are in an awkward position, with Sevilla, Schalke 04 and Rosenborg in a group that is arguably the strongest of the eight groups overall, while Barcelona are in a group with Lyon, Stuttgart and Rangers.

In the past two years, with the widening gap between the four major leagues themselves, coupled with the blow of the UU Serie A phone gate, there are not many teams in Italy that can really get their hands now, Inter Milan's Champions League results are not ideal, Roma is even worse, AC Milan has poor league results, but it has performed the best in Europe.

In addition, many well-known European giants such as Bayern Munich and Arsenal this season ultimately missed the Champions League.

This has also led to the Champions League group stage gradually giving some of the champions of the lower and middle leagues a chance to come out, because these teams in the lower and middle leagues often gather a group of good players, and the overall strength will not even lose to the middle teams of the four major leagues, and some are even better, so it is not surprising that such teams are upset.

Bidding farewell to the monopoly of the four major leagues and returning to the era of a hundred flowers is undoubtedly what UEFA is willing and wants to see.

Regarding the draw results, Ye Qiu said with a smile that he had no problem with the draw ceremony when he was interviewed according to the usual practice after the draw, and for his failure to win the best coach of the European season again, Ye Qiu generously expressed his congratulations to Ancelotti.

'Last season AC Milan were really strong, very good, I think they won the title and Carlo Ancelotti won the Manager of the Season, I think it was well deserved'

Ye Qiu's answer did not give the reporter any fault, and when a reporter took the initiative to ask about the European Super Cup, Ye Qiu said with a smile that Tottenham Hotspur would have a better match with AC Milan in the game, and he was full of confidence in the team.

But in fact, at the Louis II Stadium in Monaco the next day, Tottenham Hotspur even started better, with Beckham's goal in the first half, 0 took the lead, but not long after the start of the second half, Inzaghi took advantage of an anti-offside position to equalize for AC Milan.

At the end of the day, Kaka broke through with the ball down the middle, combined with Seedorf, probed into the box and scored a clever shot, and AC Milan completed a beautiful comeback against Tottenham Hotspur.

Losing the UEFA Super Cup, Tottenham Hotspur is quite regrettable, but the overall strength of the team is indeed not able to compete with AC Milan, the biggest advantage of the Rossoneri at present is that they are very experienced, and Tottenham Hotspur personnel structure is too young, although the strength is there, but still need some accumulation and precipitation.

It's not just that they lost the UEFA Super Cup, because of their participation in the UEFA Super Cup and the third round of the Champions League qualifiers, Tottenham Hotspur missed the fifth round of the Premier League, which directly led to Tottenham Hotspur only having three rounds of Premier League games, one win and two losses, and only three points.

And when the fifth round of the Premier League ended, looking at the Premier League standings, everyone was surprised to find that Tottenham Hotspur was ranked eighteenth in the Premier League, that is, falling into the relegation zone.

The Premier League has been very competitive this season, with only one team in Derby County not winning so far, but they have also managed a draw and picked up a point, while the worst start was Bolton Wanderers, with one win and four defeats, with three points, and Reading with one win, one draw and three defeats, sitting in seventeenth place.

The hapless Tottenham Hotspur, because of two games less, ended up in 18th place in the league and entered the relegation zone, which really surprised everyone, and no one expected this start to be like this.

Regarding the situation of Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho played the fifth round, after losing 0:0 away to Aston Villa, he specifically used Tottenham Hotspur to make fun of it, laughing, "No matter how bad our performance is, we will not fall into the relegation zone"

Ferguson, on the other hand, was asked by reporters about Tottenham Hotspur's experience after defeating his proud protégé Roy Keane at Sunderland's home stadium, and he smiled and made his first wish of the season, "I hope that hapless guy and his team will always maintain this ranking"

Arsene Wenger's side also won this round, beating Portsmouth at home, which boosted Wenger's confidence and joked that Tottenham Hotspur's ultimate goal this season should be relegation, as Tottenham Hotspur will face Arsenal at White Hart Lane after two weeks of international breaks.

It was the first north London derby of the season and Arsene Wenger was looking to avenge the humiliation of losing the Champions League last season.

Ye Qiu is also helpless about Tottenham Hotspur's current situation, because the two rounds missed are home to Everton and away to Fulham, in the eyes of Tottenham Hotspur, these two games are very promising to get three points, so there is no need to maintain such a ranking.

So when a reporter from The Daily Telegraph asked Ye Qiu what he thought about the standings in the first five rounds of the Premier League, he had only one answer.

"I'm very, very, very, very sad about this," he said, using four very exaggerated words to describe his feelings.

This made Ferguson and Arsene Wenger, who were standing next to him, laugh loudly, and even Benitez, who looked like a robot, couldn't help but laugh, which was obviously rare for everyone present.

Mourinho also came to the scene, but don't get me wrong, this is not the Premier League's head coach summit, but a gathering between clubs and agents organized by Ye Qiu and Eliza Moon's agent company, which was named [Football Economic Forum], and today is the first time this forum has been held, but it has attracted great attention.

The forum was held at the Hilton Park Road Hotel on the east side of London's Hyde Park, and for this purpose, a floor was specially arranged for the hotel, because it was the last three days of the transfer market, and today all the professional and semi-professional clubs of the English professional football league received invitations, and all the agents in the world were also welcomed into the venue.

Not only that, Premier League CEO Richard Scudmore also came to the scene in person, and UEFA Secretary General Scotsman David Taylor also came to the venue, and both of them said in an interview with reporters before they walked into the hotel venue that this is a very interesting innovation that I believe can change the pattern of the transfer market.

Richard Scudmore also said that he was personally in charge, "Our FA and Premier League officials have come to the venue, and all the player transfer transactions completed today can be approved on the spot, which can greatly facilitate the progress and procedures of the transfer, at least, they do not have to worry about the transfer due to fax problems that will lead to the transfer aborted"

"Of course, I don't know exactly what this forum will do and how effective it will be, but I'd love to see it come out because it can greatly promote the liquidity of the transfer market."

Scudmore's remarks caused a lot of laughter, because in the past, and indeed there have been many transfer miscarriages due to fax issues, but this is only part of the forum.

The five biggest managers of the Premier League walked into the venue together, but they did not attract any attention in the venue, because the people who walked into the venue were either agents, club officials, or even managers, and many people came to the scene with the most crazy attitude, because this was the first time in the history of English football.

Ye Qiu's idea comes from the Serie A league in the previous life, perhaps many ordinary fans don't know the way, the Serie A league in the years before and after Ye Qiu's crossing, two or three days after the end of each transfer window of each season, the teams of Serie A and Serie B will gather at the AT Hotel in Milan to participate in a round table and stage the most crazy after the transfer market.

Quite a lot of transfers are done in this kind of meeting, such as Luca Toney, on the last day of the transfer market of the year, Luca Toney came to Milan and wanted to sign with Siena, many fans believe that they will be surprised to see this news, to sign should go to Siena, how to come to Milan?

In fact, he came to Milan because his agent, Siena, was present at such a round table.

It is not only the teams of Serie A and Serie B who participate in the meeting, but also the registration office of the Italian Football Federation, so that in the shortest possible time and in the most efficient way, all professional teams and agents can be brought together to complete a post-carnival similar to a fast date, and as long as it is registered with the registration office of the Football Association, the transfer is considered successful.

But Luca Toney's agent eventually found Fiorentina for him, and it was during this meeting that Luca Toni and his agent were found, and Luca Toni himself had been waiting outside the hotel.

There is also an interesting anecdote that the famous agent Raiola, after helping Balotelli return to Serie A, began to work on another transfer, which was to exchange defender Emmanuelsen, who was playing for AC Milan in Serie A at the time, with the Swiss midfielder Casami, who was playing for Fulham at the time.

The transaction had been agreed to by all parties at the venue, but when the registration information was handed over later, the handover could not be completed due to a failure of the hotel's network, and although Raiola rushed to the registration office to submit the information as quickly as possible, the deadline had passed.

For this matter, Raiola also directly bombarded the Italian Football Association, thinking that they are too bureaucratic and it doesn't matter if they are delayed in other countries, but they want to follow the rules and declare the transfer invalid.

However, Emmanuelsen made a successful move to Fulham, while Casami was forced to go to Switzerland instead of Milan.

Ye Qiu and Eliza jointly planned and organized such a venue, not only to learn from this model in Italy, in fact, the most important thing for them is to promote their own online platform, that is, the scouting data platform.

When the time for the start of the venue arrived, all the invited guests sat down one after another, and Eliza walked to the front desk of the venue in an elegant and professional dress, with a smile, her wonderful eyes swept over the guests present, many of them were a little stunned, but the last one fell on Ye Qiu, smiling and churning.

"Everyone, welcome to our Football Economic Forum" Eliza's voice reached the ears of nearly 1,000 people in the venue through sound effects, which was very clear and very pleasant.

"I'm sure all the people in the professional clubs have had a problem when the coaching staff says they need a player and they give them the characteristics of the player, you probably have to look for that player from very, very many videos and reports, and it can take you months, sometimes even a year.

Many of the fans in the room felt the same way, and many fans thought that the club was very inefficient, but they could never imagine how low it was, and even in many aspects, such as scouting reports and player data, they had not yet completed the computerization.

There are only a handful of teams that have actually been computerized, because there is a saying in football, trust your instincts, don't trust technology.

"Probably you've all had to miss out on some players, miss the transfer period, and end up being scolded by the president, the manager and the fans, we have to find a way to get out of this almost boring and tedious manual work, we need a broader, more open platform to serve ourselves."

Eliza laughed again, "I once had a friend who was the technical director of a well-known team and was in charge of player scouting, and he told me that five years ago, his team office was full of videotapes, and even their floors were cracked because of this"

Eliza's words made everyone present laugh, which is not uncommon in many big teams, and even many teams still have those videotapes, and maybe they may also find a few superstars who are now popular but were ignored by them in the past.

"Later, it was much better, we had VCD and D, and I'm sure everyone could make it very easy, but I want to ask everyone, have you ever thought that when you want to pick a player, you don't have to work so hard, you don't have to look at the players playing in it over and over again from thousands or even tens of thousands of videos and Ds?"

Eliza's words made many club officials present, especially those engaged in player inspection, heartbroken.

"Also, I want to ask my fellow agents again, forget about your competitive relationship with me, let's talk about the future openly and honestly" Eliza's words made the venue laugh again, because a large number of the guests at the scene were agents, and they all had a dispensable mentality and wanted to come here to recommend their players.

"I want to ask everyone, when you have worked hard to travel to all parts of the world, to recommend your players to clubs all over the world, and to submit D and game videos, have you considered whether you can have a platform that allows you to reduce a lot of work and a lot of busyness, but at the same time you can get more and wider attention ⊥ your players?"

With Eliza's words, the atmosphere in the venue was obviously mobilized.

Ye Qiu has always said that football can be very modern, because football has a close relationship with the media and has an advanced relationship with many sponsors, but football is also very closed, which is reflected in the management model and operation mode of football.

And now, Ye Qiu feels that it is very important to break such patterns and rules, starting with player selection and transfer
