Tottenham Hotspur arrived in Dortmund, Germany, at noon on April 23.

The team still arrived at Dortmund Airport on a special plane from sponsor Qatar Airways, and although Tottenham Hotspur did not deliberately push the team's itinerary and plans in advance on the official website and mobile app, the all-present die-hard fans still gathered at Dortmund Airport to welcome the team's arrival.

When Tottenham Hotspur walked up and down the airport passageway, there were many Tottenham Hotspur fans from the UK and the world, including many in Germany, but unfortunately, they were all separated from Tottenham Hotspur by a barbed wire, but this did not affect the screams and cheers of the audience.

Because the airport temporarily opened a separate channel for Tottenham Hotspur to leave the airport without being disturbed, this time Tottenham Hotspur did not interact with all the fans who came to the scene, but there were still many fans taking pictures through the barbed wire.

After passing through the elevator and entering the bus waiting at the exit of the passage from a separate passageway, the team went straight to the hotel.

According to the itinerary, after a break at noon, the team will travel to Dortmund's home stadium, the Wester, which has been renamed the Stino Iduna Park Stadium.

Anyway, Ye Qiu still likes West Stadium more, and always feels that it is familiar.

Although Tottenham Hotspur is also actively looking for major sponsors for the stadium, they are basically some billboard sponsors, and there is no title sponsor, not that Tottenham Hotspur does not consider it, but the price is not negotiable.

According to the current evaluation of Stratford Stadium by Peternien and the team's commercial department, with the background of this Olympic main stadium, coupled with the influence of Tottenham Hotspur, the naming rights of such a stadium must not be sold cheaply, and the initial internal estimate is more than 50 million euros.

And considering that Real Madrid's Bernabeu and Manchester United's Old Trafford are basically at this price point, Tottenham Hotspur feels that it is still more suitable for positioning.

But in the end, Tottenham's new stadium had the same fate as the Santiago Bernabeu and Old Trafford, which was too expensive, and the highest bidder was Qatar Airways, which is currently the team's chest advertising sponsor, and they offered 35 million euros a year, but Tottenham Hotspur rejected the request.

Of course, this deal did not reveal much to the outside world, Tottenham Hotspur also gave Qatar Airways enough face in publicity and public relations, saying that the latter gave full sincerity and offered 50 million euros, but Tottenham Hotspur was under pressure from fans, especially from die-hard fans in the UK, and invited a few famous fans, reporters and celebrities to criticize a few words in newspapers and television, and then the club came out to announce that it would not consider the stadium naming and so on.

But these are all PR battles, and the core issue is that the price cannot be negotiated, otherwise who would give up the huge sponsorship of 50 million euros a year?

However, Tottenham Hotspur has a special feature, the surface of Stratford Stadium is a display film, and the advertising effect is very ideal, so every year, the advertising investment of the huge display film around the single stadium can bring incomparably rich benefits to Tottenham Hotspur, and continue to operate in depth, with great potential in the future

After all, Stratford Stadium is right in the Olympic Park, a landmark in London.

Therefore, in these aspects, Tottenham Hotspur is not in a hurry at all, and Peternien also feels that for the time being, Tottenham Hotspur does not need to rush to sell the naming rights of the stadium and training base, but should consider more about the improvement of the business system.

By the time Tottenham arrived at their hotel in Dortmund, everyone had become accustomed to the rhythm of the away game, returning to their hotels to rest and prepare for their final training session at the Westster Stadium in the evening.

Mauro Tasotti was discussing tomorrow night's game with the coaching staff and analysts, while Ye Qiu was lying in the room for a while, squinting for a while, and was woken up by the phone.

Twenty minutes later, he received an old friend in his room.

"Long time no see, Leo"

As soon as Ye Qiu opened the door, he saw Leo Ben Hack standing outside with a smile, he was still the iconic white, with a touch of silver, and his face looked good, just standing with the chubby Roland O Shepas, it always made people feel awkward.

He's too skinny

"Long time no see" Leo Ben Hack also shook hands with Ye Qiu with a smile, and soon, Ye Qiu welcomed the two of them into the room, among which in order to make way for Luo Fatzi, Ye Qiu had to shrink a little.

"Leo, why did you suddenly come to Dortmund from the Netherlands?" After Ye Qiu sat down with Leo Ben Hack and Luo Fatzi, he asked with a smile, although in the early days of Ajax, there were some contradictions between Ye Qiu and Leo Ben Hake, but later these things were resolved, after all, everyone is an adult, as long as the goal is the same, there is nothing that cannot be discussed.

Besides, some of the things that Leo Ben Hack did later also made Ye Qiu feel that he was indeed sincerely planning for Ajax, and he also supported Ye Qiu's work after serving as the team's technical adviser, so it was normal for them to reconcile with each other.

After Ye Qiu left Ajax, Leo Ben Hake also left Ajax and went to Poland to coach the Polish national team, and later returned to Ajax for a period of time, and now he is basically in retirement, so Ye Qiu was a little surprised by his visit this time.

Leo Benhag smiled, "The main thing is to see the duel between Tottenham Hotspur and Dortmund with my own eyes, I don't want to miss such a game" This is also the most high-profile match in the semi-finals of this season's Champions League, and the other is Bayern Munich vs. Barcelona.

However, it is obvious that Barcelona has been beaten very wolf by Tottenham Hotspur last season, and now Heynckes has put down his arrogance before the game and must beat Barcelona, plus Bayern Munich is in very good shape, so there is not much suspense in this game.

Although Tottenham Hotspur has an advantage in strength, Tottenham Hotspur's state is not very good in recent times, Klopp took the initiative to provoke Tottenham Hotspur before the game, when the German media asked about the difference in the value of the players of the two teams in this game, he smiled and said, "I was born a boxer, and my players and I like to do the most, which is to kill those who are richer than us on the field"

Ye Qiu is even more outrageous, when he held a pre-match press conference in Theobald in London this morning, he directly announced the lineup of the game in advance, and promised not to make adjustments before the game, and let go of cruel words, "I just see why the boxer beats me"

The-for-tat between the two coaches has attracted the attention of fans around the world, so this duel has naturally become the most high-profile key battle in the Champions League semi-finals.

"What about the secondary?" Ye Qiu asked with a smile, mainly because he wanted to watch the ball game, which proved that there were still minor problems.

Leo Ben Hack also laughed, Ye Qiu is no longer as good as he was back then, whether it is identity, status, influence, or even from the tone and momentum of his speech, it is obviously completely different from back then.

"I heard that you guys have been visiting Lewandowski recently?" Leo Ben Hack also asked straight to the point.

Ye Qiu thought for a moment and nodded: "It's true that there are investigations, but we also investigate many other people, such as Mandzukic and Thomas Muller, Immobile in Italy, and some others. ”

"So, Cavani is really leaving" Leo Ben Haac is also an old fox, not to mention, he can coach so many teams, and basically he is still mixed well, which proves that this person is an old fritter, and he can understand it at all.

Ye Qiu smiled and didn't say anything, because there were many things that he didn't need to answer at all.

"I'll say it directly" Leo Ben Haque saw that Ye Qiu didn't say anything, he took the initiative to speak, "Lewandowski was single-handedly promoted when I was coaching the Polish national team, when he just joined the strong Poznan Lech team in the Polish domestic league, and before that, he played in the third and second divisions respectively, and won the Golden Boot award in the third and second divisions in both seasons, and is a well-known young talent in Poland." ”

Ye Qiu nodded, he was more familiar with this than Leo Ben Hake, because he had a very detailed and complete Lewandowski file in his hand, which was also a strict requirement for Tottenham Hotspur when scouting players.

Just kidding, the old man who sent out scout Peter Devisel to watch him play in person was boring?

"I only watched him for one game and decided to recruit him to the national team, it was the round of the Polish First League uR9 season, he was a newcomer to the team, and the game went to 60 minutes, the two sides were 1 draw, Lewandowski came on for midfielder Injac, and he scored four minutes later"

Leo Ben Hack seems to have returned to the scene of that game, recounting his first impression of Lewandowski, "He was 20 years old at the time, but it was shocking to me, because he was very calm, and few young players have been so calm to seize opportunities at such a critical moment

"As it turned out, I was right then, he was a substitute in three of the first four rounds, scored three goals, a very good table, but more importantly, I think he is very good at learning and adapting, from the third division with the halo of the Golden Boot to the second division, immediately more Golden Boot awards, transferred to a strange environment, became the main player in the first season, scored fourteen goals, and became the team's top scorer."

"In that year, there were only two more goals in the Polish league than Lewandowski, one was the 27-year-old Zimbabwean foreign player Chignama, and the other was the Polish local scorer, the 26-year-old international Krakow, that year was also the best ranking of Lech Poznań in recent seasons, and in the second season they won the league championship, and Lewandowski also won the Golden Boot award in the first division."

Ye Qiu listened to Leo Ben Hake's words, and agreed with his judgment very much, in fact, Peter O Devisel's biggest appreciation for Lewandowski is his strong learning and adaptability, which makes Lewandowski's moldability very, very strong, so he can adapt to a variety of different tactics and environments at a young age.

Of course, in the past few years at Dortmund, Lewandowski's characteristics have basically been reflected, but the problem is that he is only 24 years old, and with his mind and ball intelligence, there is still a lot of potential to be tapped, which is one of the reasons why Tottenham Hotspur focuses on him.

'His agent is a former Poland international Kuhalski, and after they heard that Peter De Visser was on site to visit them, Lewandowski gave me a call and I got to know him and that's why I'm here.

Ye Qiu listened silently, he knew that Leo Ben Haque wanted to understand Tottenham Hotspur's thoughts and wishes for Lewandowski, and in this way, the players were still very biased towards Tottenham Hotspur.

Lewandowski's transfer is also a very complicated event, although in the past few years, he has made a lot of contributions to Dortmund's outstanding performance, but the salary is only 1.5 million euros per year, and it is also before tax, which is really good for the young people who came out of the Polish league, but with his excellent performance in recent years, it is far from enough.

So the negotiations between the two sides began, after Dortmund won the league championship, several players in the team also left the team, such as Shinji Kagawa and Shasin and others, so the Hornets had to renew their contracts, but there were some controversies between the two sides in terms of salary, for example, Dortmund wanted to get him for four million euros, but Lewandowski asked for five million euros, but Dortmund did not agree, because the maximum salary at that time was 4.6 million euros for Gotze.

So Dortmund also felt that it was not worth it, called for the suspension of the player's contract renewal negotiations, and promised Lewandowski that as long as he could find a team and was willing to pay him a transfer fee of 20 million euros, he could leave the team freely.

In fact, the problem is still that Dortmund bought out Reus's contract from Borussia Mönchengladbach in January for 17.5 million euros, and gave Reuss a maximum salary of up to 4 million euros, while the salary of Lewandowski, the core player of the team at that time, was less than half of Reus's.

Another point is that after buying out Reus's contract, Dortmund renewed Götze's contract as soon as possible and gave the team a maximum salary of 4.6 million euros, but Lewandowski's contract renewal has been delayed, and in the final analysis, it is still not enough attention.

Just imagine, a year and a half has passed, the players' psychology will definitely not be balanced, they will want to fight, so there was a matter two days ago that Götze was directly bought out by Bayern Munich with liquidated damages, many people say that Götze is a traitor, but behind Götze's traitor, in fact, it has a lot to do with Dortmund's salary structure, and the contradiction has been buried since Reus's transfer.

This is why Ye Qiu has to adhere to the team's salary system in life and death, if this system is broken, Dortmund will be a lesson for Tottenham Hotspur, and Dortmund players such as Shinji Kagawa and Shahin are popular because their salaries are too low.

Just imagine, if Tottenham Hotspur are now going to bring in Lewandowski, with his salary of 1.5 million euros in Dortmund, after the team pays him a transfer fee of 20 million euros, as long as it is negotiated, the annual salary of up to 6 million euros, that is, 100,000 pounds per week, is about the same as Cavani before the contract renewal

Looking at the next few years, if Lewandowski really plays, when the contract is renewed two or three years later, it will be a weekly salary of about 150,000 pounds at most, at that time Ribery is already old, Messi has already raised his salary again, and the team's salary structure is still very good, so this is very beneficial to Tottenham Hotspur.

With Lewandowski's strength and potential, coupled with his salary and transfer fee, Tottenham Hotspur is indeed very attractive, and the reason for this is because of Dortmund's business embarrassment.

The salary budget of the Hornets for a season is about 70 million euros, which is less than half of Tottenham Hotspur, so Ye Qiu has always felt that Klopp is indeed very good, and it is not easy, and Dortmund is divided, it is also a matter of time, because they lack the financial resources and courage of the giant team.

Today's professional football is no longer suitable for small operations, basically belongs to the era of big capital, and people who have no money can't afford to play

"Leao, I heard that after Götze announced the start of the termination fee and moved to Bayern Munich, Dortmund called for Lewandowski to stop contact with Bayern Munich?" Ye Qiu asked with a smile.

Leo Ben Hack was a little confused about Ye Qiu's thoughts, and nodded: "Yes, firstly, because the fan love is too intense, secondly, because Dortmund does not want to further weaken themselves and strengthen Bayern Munich, and third, they now want to keep Lewandowski"

Bayern Munich is really good at playing this hand, playing Dortmund all the way, first reaching an agreement with Lewandowski, plus the agreement between Lewandowski and Dortmund, the two sides are basically finalized, and then the liquidated damages for Gotze are started and forcibly poached, which is equivalent to digging out the two pillars of Dortmund overnight.

It would be silly if Dortmund still wanted to send players to Bayern Munich now

However, from Lewandowski's point of view, since the team has agreed to let him choose freely, as long as he comes up with 20 million euros, no matter who he is, he can transfer freely, and he did get Bayern Munich, so even if Götze is forcibly poached by Bayern Munich now, Lewandowski definitely does not want to stay in the team.

Everyone knows that there are only two outcomes of staying in the team, either to continue to fulfill the previous contract and transfer freely after a year, but the salary is only 1.5 million euros before tax, or to re-negotiate with the team to renew the contract, which means that the efforts he made in the previous half a year have been completely in vain.

"If I'm not mistaken, Dortmund must have made conditions now, except for Bayern Munich" Ye Qiu said with a smile, which is actually very similar to Vidal's transfer back then, all because of Bayern Munich's wealth.

In fact, such cases are not uncommon, for example, Real Madrid President Sanz forcibly poached Valencia's Mijatovic, and as a result, the Bat Army was so angry that they announced that they would never sell players to Real Madrid, and as a result, Mendieta went to Serie A, Villa went to Barcelona, David O Silva and Juan Mata both went to England, and they just don't sell you Real Madrid.

Sometimes running a team is the same as opening the door to do business, harmony can make money, although you use some means, you may get some benefits in a short time, but in the long run, you are losing a lot of money, after all, the operation of football clubs is more than ten years and decades of things, and the antagonism in football sometimes becomes strong with the accumulation of time.

Therefore, Ye Qiu often said that the royal road created by the upright conspiracy can last, and the hegemony created by the small conspiracy that succeeds for a while will definitely not last for a long time, because sooner or later the conspiracy will be exposed.

Now, for Tottenham Hotspur, there is only one question, should I make a move?
