While everyone in the team celebrated with a huge victory parade in downtown London, and the whole city was celebrating Tottenham Hotspur's victory over Manchester United to win the Champions League, Ye Qiu and Chen Zhong arrived at the White Hart Lane stadium.

After the two entered the White Hart Lane court, they made an appointment to stay at Ye Qiu's house for the night, and then parted ways.

Ye Qiu went directly to the conference room, because the team was about to start vacation, and many players had to go to the national team and the European Cup, so many things in the team had to be finalized before the players left, such as the renewal of players, the team's summer recruitment and transfer, etc.

Mike Dawson never got a chance at Tottenham Hotspur, Ye Qiu did not appreciate the tall England centre-back, he obviously preferred Thiago Silva or Kompany as a central defender who can hold the ball, so Mike Dawson had already submitted a transfer application to the club.

There are also plenty of teams interested in the homegrown centre-back, including several Premier League teams such as Fulham.

Tottenham Hotspur also gave the green light to the transfer of the homegrown centre-back, and the departure of Mike Dawson also completely announced that Tottenham Hotspur had said goodbye to the past, because he was the last player under Ye Qiu before he took over the team, and the rest were all players brought in by Ye Qiu himself.

After selling Mike Dawson, Tottenham Hotspur still has three central defenders in the team: Hangrande, Thiago Silva, and Kompany, plus Yaya Toure and Mascherano cameo central defenders are also performing well, so Ye Qiu is still more at ease with the backline.

In addition to the central defenders, in the midfield, Tottenham Hotspur may also have to give due consideration to letting go of a player, because this summer, the team will definitely bring in a ball handler in the middle, so Ye Qiu is considering whether to sell Lucas.

The Brazilian players are making good progress and their quality is quite good, and playing as a substitute is not a big problem, but Tottenham Hotspur's current problem is that the middle is too bloated, especially if another midfield handler is brought in, which will further ignite the competition, in this case, selling a player can reduce the salary pressure on the team and also alleviate this competition.

As for the frontcourt, Ye Qiu feels that the staffing is the best in the team, with Ribery, Messi and Arshavin on the side, Gareth Bale is improving rapidly, and Ashley Young is also playing well on the bench.

The combination of Van Persie, Cavani and Carroll on the front line is also very reassuring, Van Persie and Cavani are the two strikers that Ye Qiu relies on very much, and Carroll's presence can enrich the team's offensive means, so the entire forward configuration is also very satisfactory.

Overall, Tottenham Hotspur will continue to follow last season's strategy, leaving no other positions to move except for the midfield additions and adjustments, ensuring the stability of the team, especially in attack, and then further grinding in defence.

The development of a team is dynamic, because the strength, form and age of the players are constantly changing, so the overall strength of the team is also constantly changing, and the head coach should also follow this trend when building a team, rather than trying to challenge it or take risks.

"At the same time as we won the Champions League, Arsenal also completed two transfers, one of which was to send Flamini to AC Milan on a free transfer, and the other was to bring in French teenager Nasri and also reclaim Mexican striker Carlos Vera on loan.

At the outset of the meeting, Peter Kenyon briefed everyone present at the high-level meeting on the current transfer market and the situation facing Tottenham Hotspur.

"Flamini's departure has a great impact on Arsenal's midfield, whether it is Diaby, Denilson or Alexander Song, they can't play the role of Flamini last season for the time being, and his departure has a great impact on Arsenal's midfield, especially in defense" Ye Qiu gave his own judgment.

Flamini was so good last season that it was even rumored that he would be named in the Premier League Team of the Season, otherwise AC Milan would not have been able to take a fancy to him, so his departure, combined with the aging of Gilberto Silva, has made it a vacuum in Arsenal's midfield.

And there is news that Arsene Wenger may make a move against several veterans of the team, including Gilberto Silva, Lehmann and other players will be forced to leave, so Arsenal is bound to usher in a round of turmoil and unrest in the new season.

The introduction of Nasri should be able to strengthen Arsenal's attacking strength, especially in terms of technique and ball control, but how to solve Arsenal's defense in the midfield is a problem, especially considering that Gallas is a year older and Sendros is overwhelmed, Arsenal's problems are still a lot.

"Manchester United's young centre-back Gerard Pique has been sent back to Barcelona, and your previous news is correct" Peter Kenyon looked at Ye Qiu, "Barcelona have indeed been in contact with Messi and Cesc Fabregas in private, and they obviously want to recall this group of lost talent. ”

"Can they pay for it?" Ye Qiu asked with a smile.

According to the performance of Messi and Fabregas last season, the two players combined, even if the transfer fee is not more than 100 million, at least 70 or 80 million, right? Does Barcelona have that much money? Not to mention, Barcelona wants to buy, is Tottenham willing to sell?

With the current situation of Tottenham Hotspur, whoever sells Messi and Cesc Fabregas is a fool

Therefore, theoretically, their value is so much, but in fact, unless it is a sky-high price, or pressure from players, it is impossible to complete such a transfer.

After listening to Ye Qiu's rhetorical question, Peter Kenyon smiled, "They don't lack funds, but if they want to buy Messi and Fabregas, they are a little less."

Tottenham Hotspur has just won the Champions League, and it is popular, coupled with the performance of the past two seasons, if you want to bring in these two players, any one of them will be worth more than 50 million, especially Messi, how much is the title of Maradona II worth? Coupled with a brace in the Champions League final, how much is it worth?

"The current situation in Barcelona is not optimistic, President Laporta has been impeached, and the opposition is very dissatisfied with the current situation of Laporta in the past year, and has asked for an early referendum on the presidential election, so now Barcelona is most eager to bring in not the new manager Pep Guardiola, but the president Laporta."

Ye Qiu is not surprised by this, because this is the characteristic of the two membership-based clubs of Barcelona and Real Madrid.

When the president encounters a crisis of confidence, he tries in every possible way to strengthen his appeal by bringing in stars, and then make his position secure, as Florentino did, Calderon now, or Laporta of Barcelona.

"Barcelona have a lot of ambitions, Messi, Cesc Fabregas, Alves, Mascherano, they have a big appetite and almost want to poach half of our squad." Peter Kenyon sneered.

As long as it is a little normal and a little sane people will not believe Laporta's remarks, Messi and Fabregas needless to say, Alves is worth at least about 40 million euros, Mascherano is the captain of Tottenham Hotspur, just for this, the Argentine will not be worth less than Alves

If you want to bring in four players at the same time, hehe, if you can bring in one, you have to burn high incense

"By the way, Peter" Ye Qiu suddenly thought of something, "I heard that Barcelona is contacting Chelsea's Deco?" ”

"Yes," Peter Kenyon nodded, "Deco is indeed going to be brought in." ”

"Then their target must not be Cesc Fabregas, it can only be said that the fool's feelings have been squandered by them"

When Ye Qiu scolded the fool, his tone was not cynical, but full of pity, he was very aware of the connection between Barcelona and Cesc Fabregas and Messi, which is constantly cut by anyone, because they have lived together for so many years and have an inextricable relationship.

And Barcelona also seems to be using this layer of relationship to make a fuss, at least to use it to create some public opinion.

The introduction of Pique can only be regarded as a civilian signing, and if they want to keep their position, Barcelona will have to make heavy reinforcements, and the first consideration must be the superstar.

'I've also heard that Pep Guardiola doesn't like Eto'o and that the African cheetahs have been the next to suffer after seeing off Ronaldinho, but Barcelona want to bring in a high striker, Ibrahimovic and our Van Persie.

Ye Qiu can understand that replacing Eto'o for Ibrahimovic was passed on from when Guardiola came to power in his previous life, but it is said that the operation did not go well in the first season, which led to the operation finally running aground, and even Guardiola and Barcelona themselves did not expect that they would get the treble that year.

By the summer of '09, the exchange and transfer had entered a substantial stage, and with Guardiola's insistence, it was finally completed, but Barcelona also completed one of the most famous and most loss-making player exchanges in the club's history.

"If Barcelona really calls Van Persie, you tell them to take Iniesta in exchange for money," Ye Qiu explained to Peter Kenyon with a smile.

Tottenham Hotspur midfield needs a ball handler, and in Ye Qiu's opinion, the best player in today's football who can create deep advancement after winning the ball in the midfield is Iniesta.

Kaka is also a master of deep advancement, but Kaka's characteristics make him have to be effective on the counter-attack, but Tottenham Hotspur is now playing a high defense, and if you want to cooperate with Kaka, you must step back the defensive line, so the team's entire offensive system will have to be completely changed.

To put it simply, Messi's threat will be greatly reduced, Ribery's way of playing will also change, and even Ye Qiu feels that if he really plays like this, Gareth Bale may perform more outstandingly, because the Welshman's sprinting speed is very amazing, and the effect will be greater in counter-attacking tactics.

Sometimes a manager's preference is one thing, but whether a player fits the team's overall tactics is another.

The introduction of Kaka can indeed create momentum, but let's not talk about whether Kaka agreed to transfer to Tottenham Hotspur, even if he transfers, what is his value? What is the salary? The key is that after the introduction of Kaka, the salary structure of the team was broken, and core players such as Ribery and Messi also asked for a salary increase, so what should I do?

It can be said that the introduction of superstars is like toppling dominoes, and the chain reaction triggered is worthy of alarm.

Looking at the whole world, after Chelsea brought in a superstar, Abramovich is now so regretful that he can't beat his chest and vomit three liters of blood, and who else will take the risk of bringing in a popular superstar except Real Madrid and Barcelona?

No

It's not that other teams are fools who don't understand the value of superstars, but that no team can afford to bring in superstars as long as they want to operate healthily.

Even Ye Qiu had such a feeling in his previous life, as the president of Real Madrid, Florentino did not like Cristiano Ronaldo, who his predecessor Calderón focused on introducing, he must have thought about making Cristiano Ronaldo shot, but the problem is that no one took over

Never believe those media rumors, but pay attention to see if anyone has made a move

Even Manchester City, which is a rich country, deliberately avoids top superstars in terms of recruitment, and instead brings in a group of powerful stars of about 20 million to 40 million euros, because they know the tragic price to pay for bringing in superstars, and Chelsea is a lesson for everyone.

In the case that no one wants to take over, Real Madrid can only adopt a team approach with Cristiano Ronaldo as the core, and at the same time have to carefully accommodate his unhappiness from time to time, and even salary requirements, because Real Madrid has no choice at all, and this is the price of bringing in superstars

Of course, this is not to say that Cristiano Ronaldo is not strong enough, on the contrary, he is definitely one of the best superstars in Ye Qiu's previous life, so Florentino will compromise with him.

It's just that sometimes you have to calculate, is the pay and the gain proportional?

Perhaps it should be said that the introduction of superstars has never been possible to consider giving and gaining, it is a game for local tyrants, and we can't afford to play a team like Tottenham Hotspur.

And on this point, Ye Qiu, as the president of the club, is completely consistent with the position of the club's CEO Peter Kenyon, who insists on the principle of not bringing in superstars.

"In addition to Barcelona, Real Madrid, AC Milan, Inter Milan and many other teams have their eyes on our players, including Franck Ribery, Alves, Vargas, Messi and Cesc Fabregas.

As soon as Peter Kenyon finished speaking, Ye Qiu sneered, "This group of local tyrants is planning to come to shear sheep."

The current European giants are eager to directly carve up Tottenham Hotspur, after all, this team's lineup is too dazzling, whether it is the attacking players in the front field, or the playmaker in the midfield, it is hard not to admire, and many of them are even rare types that are in short supply in European football now, such as Cesc Fabregas and Mascherano.

Feng Shui takes turns, in the past, it was the frontcourt offensive players who were popular, but now in the past two years, the central defenders are in short supply, and the value of the defenders has also risen, and with the rise of the ball control genre, the core of the midfield organization has also received great attention, and there is also the waist problem that plagues almost all the giants in Europe, so the back is also very important.

No matter which position it is, you can find high-quality products in the Tottenham Hotspur team, and it is conceivable that the momentum of carving up Tottenham Hotspur will continue.

"This summer, our priority is not to bring in reinforcements, not to transfer, not to anything else, but to keep this group of players in the team, we are not Arsenal, we don't need to sell people to get by, we have a more long-term goal, so to ensure the fighting power of the team, this is the premise of everything that works at the club

Peter Kenyon and all the executives present nodded frequently after hearing this.

"According to the preliminary estimate of the Finance Department, in the next year, even if we pay 100 million euros for the construction of the new stadium, we will still be able to withdraw about 20 million euros as a transfer fee without affecting the operation of the team while ensuring the renewal of the contract and salary increase of several important players in the team.

For Tottenham Hotspur, this is already a very, very difficult thing, and fortunately, the payment of 100 million euros will not be until September, if it is in July, it will inevitably affect the team's transfer policy, because at that time, neither Adidas nor Vodafone and other sponsors have been in place.

It must be clarified here that Ye Qiu is rich, but he never took the initiative to say that he wanted to inject funds into the team, because Tottenham Hotspur is now financially healthy and has no foreign debts, but if Ye Qiu injects funds, it will be a debt.

And Ye Qiu doesn't want Tottenham Hotspur to rely on his own capital injection, but hopes that the team can be self-financing and run in a healthier way, otherwise, professional football is a bottomless pit, and no matter how rich your net worth is, you can't fill its mouth-watering appetite.

Therefore, Ye Qiu and Peter Kenyon have a tacit understanding, unless it really comes to a critical moment of last resort, such as the new stadium construction funds are coming, but the team does not have enough money and can't delay it any longer, Ye Qiu will come up with the money, but at other times, the team will be self-financed.

At this point, Ye Qiu and Peter Kenyon's position is also the same.

Ye Qiu nodded, "The next two or three years will be a hard time, I hope everyone can work together to get through the difficulties together, we won the Champions League this season, and we will continue to fight for the Champions League, for the Premier League, and even for higher honors in the future, what we have achieved today is just the beginning."

"I am confident that in the coming years, I will work hand in hand with everyone to build Tottenham Hotspur into one of the best teams in Europe, and a top club will be born from your efforts."

When he said this, Ye Qiu said with a confident smile: "Last night's Champions League is a proof"
