"Lister, you're in a good mood."

"It's okay."

After dealing with the affairs of Spain, Rist immediately came to England. As Arneson has officially become Tottenham's director of football since January 2003, Lister came to congratulate him. It's not a vacant position, and he can decide all of Tottenham's competitive issues. Choosing coaches and buying and selling people in the transfer market are all within his remit. It's rare in English football to be in such a position because it's all within the manager's prerogatives. The tradition in English football is that the manager is responsible for these things.

But Daniel. Levy was a little scared, especially since Tottenham's owners in recent years have been laymen, so there are too many jokes. He concluded that the reason why Tottenham's previous presidents were always fooled by the manager was because the boss was new to football. So there is such a position, a position that is very common in Serie A and La Liga. I just don't want to be fooled by the manager, I want to be able to limit the rights of the manager.

Arneson's ability is absolutely top-notch. In and Daniel. When Levi was talking, he didn't know how to fool Daniel. Levy, anyway Daniel. Levy was very pleased with him and gave him a heavy responsibility. Arneson also became Tottenham's most powerful top management at the moment, becoming Daniel. The most powerful senior outside of Levy. The annual salary also reached a million pounds.

"Tell me what's going on. But it's rare to see you so happy, is it making a lot of money again? ”

Arneson could see that Rist was in a good mood, so he couldn't help but ask Rist. He knew Rist well. In the past, even if Rist was happy, he rarely brought it out on his face. But today, Lister's smile is hanging outside, and it is easy to see Lister's mood.

"Before coming here with Gines. Carvajal met and exchanged feelings for each other. ”

"Good thing."

Rist didn't say specifics, and Arneson didn't ask specifics. Just hearing that Rist and Carvajal exchanged feelings, it was already congratulations to Rist. Carvajal is currently the most powerful and well-connected agent in Spanish football. Rist himself is a powerful agent in European football, and if he can cooperate with Carvajal in Spain, then he is really sideways in Spanish football. For example, Rist only knows a few well-known journalists in the Spanish media, and uses them as a breakthrough point to grasp some public opinion trends. But Carvajal is in the Spanish media. But it's working directly with those media. In terms of controlling the movement of public opinion. Even Florentino is not necessarily better than Carvajal.

It's not just the media, Carvajal has a lot of influence in Spanish football because he has a large number of Spanish internationals. At present, the famous managers in Spain also have a deep relationship with him. With Carvajal's support, Rist and Carvajal would be able to rule half of Spain's resources.

"How are you. I'm about to leave and take office. There are ideas for the future of Tottenham. ”

"Of course."

Speaking of work. Arneson is very confident. There is nothing to hide from Rist. said with a smile: "There are a lot of powerful players in Tottenham now, but the whole team is too scattered. They were too blind to bring in players, with too many good players in some positions and a lack of players in others. I've got my own ideas for how to change the team. I'm going to take three years. Build Tottenham into the best team in the Premier League. ”

The transition from PSV Eindhoven's general manager to Tottenham's director of football was a leap for Arneson. Although at PSV Eindhoven he was in charge of everything, and at Tottenham he was only in charge of the athletic department. But platforms are different. After the Boseman Act, the status of the Eredivisie dropped considerably. Although PSV Eindhoven is a Eredivisie giant, it is no longer as good as the Premier League powerhouse in terms of status. In terms of influence, it is far inferior to Tottenham.

"Still, Riester, I need your help. I've just been in contact with Tottenham scouts and they've given me their profile. But to be honest, a lot of their player profiles didn't meet my requirements. Even in my opinion, Tottenham's scouting system is a mess and I doubt they have a well-established scouting system. ”

The Eredivisie and the Premier League are completely different. During his time in Eindhoven, Arnesen's focus was on the Netherlands, Eastern Europe and South America. Because the Eredivisie has become the youth training base of several major European leagues, PSV Eindhoven has brought in those talented players. Cultivating it and then selling it, that's Arneson's job. So at the moment, Arneson has some young talents.

But at Tottenham it's different. Tottenham's ambition is not this, Tottenham wants to be a Premier League powerhouse, hoping to become a strong team in Europe. Therefore, Tottenham's requirements are not the same, Tottenham is no longer just asking for talented players, but also for quality players. Demand top players, even top players.

Therefore, although Arneson has a wide network, he has not been able to find the players that Tottenham needs for a while. But he can't waste time, though, with Daniel. Levy has limited contact, but he clearly understands Daniel. Levy was a very utilitarian chairman and a typical Jewish businessman. If he can't deliver satisfactory results in two or three years' time, Arneson believes his job at Tottenham is over. But if he wants to get results quickly, Arneson can only look for Rist.

Rist's player profile is so rich that Arneson has learned it. Arneson believes that he asks for players in any division, and there are players in Lister.

'Frank, you've had too little contact with the Premier League teams. None of the Premier League's mid-to-lower teams have their own scouting systems, and it is very common for several clubs to share a few scouts. ”

Tottenham have had a tumultuous past decade or so. Either the layman chairman or the strange coach are not really thinking about Tottenham. So where did Tottenham have time to build a well-developed scouting system.

"I was also surprised. I thought that the scouting system of a Premier League powerhouse like Tottenham Hotspur should be very complete and the coverage should be very wide. So. Rist. I need your help now. ”

"You're welcome. Frank, feel free to make any requests. Players in any position, players in any rank, I will give you full information about the players. ”

“xiexie。”

With Rist's assurance, Arneson breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he has a full profile of the players, Arneson is confident in his abilities. Among those players, he thinks he has enough quality to pick the best for Tottenham.

"Lister, do you have any good players under your command that you can recommend first. I will also give priority to your players and I have full confidence in the quality of your players. ”

Since they are all reinforcements, Arneson will of course give priority to Rister's players. After all, Rist and Arneson also have a deep stake in each other. To help Rist is to help yourself. Rist earns money, that is, earns his own money.

Rist smiled and said, "Frank." How much can Tottenham give you? Do Tottenham have the money to bring in my players? ”

Rist is not an angel. To bring the gospel of God to mankind. Rist went to great lengths to get Arneson into Tottenham for his own benefit. Daniel. Levy is in business, but he also wants to take Tottenham well, so he won't be too stingy in terms of money. Therefore, Rister is also thinking about how to cram his own players into Tottenham. It's just that Arneson has just taken over. Redknapp is yet to enter Tottenham. So in order to arrange their own players directly in the future, they just didn't arrange their own players.

Neither Arneson nor Redknapp are people who like to be manipulated. Even if Rist had to fortify his own players, he couldn't make Arneson and Redknapp think he wanted to control them. Therefore, Rist will not take the initiative. If Arneson and Redknapp had been smart, they would have taken the initiative to bring it up.

"Rist. You don't have to worry about money. Tottenham will spend £40 million or £50 million this summer. And I'm going to purge a bunch of players, and there's definitely no shortage of money. ”

"That's good."

Rist is now a little tight on hand. Since giving Borussia Dortmund 15 million euros, Rist has not had much cash on his hands. Fortunately, he just signed Torres's contract, and Rist's hands are not empty, but Rist's hands are still short of money. This summer is not going to be spared.

"Lister, not to mention the Everton goalkeeper, you have to keep it for me."

"Peter. Cech? ”

"Yes."

Cech has been very good since arriving at Everton. It should be said that Cech is a goalkeeper suitable for the Premier League, and in the Premier League's high-lifting style of play, Cech is very suitable for his tall arms and quick response. Only half a season into the season, Cech also won the Premier League Player of the Month once. It's because Cech has just arrived in the Premier League and is doing so well. Even at the end of the half-season, the goalkeeper in the Premier League Semi-Season Team was Peter. Cech.

Some people are geniuses who can shine no matter where they are. Although the Czech Republic won the Shijie Cup, Cech did not shine too brightly. But when he arrived at Everton, Cech shocked the whole world of English football because he was so good. And the important thing is that Cech is only twenty years old and a truly talented goalkeeper.

A goalkeeper is the same as a defender, the more experience he has, the stronger he is. Petr Cech is the Premier League's goalkeeper of the best halfway through the season at the age of 20 and his future is evident. Unexpectedly, Arneson had just set his sights on Cech.

'Tottenham want Cech?'

"Yes."

Arneson affirmed. Arneson has learned a little about the Premier League in order to work at Tottenham. Among the players he brings in must be players who have played in the English league. A talented goalkeeper like Petr Cech and a player who has played in the Premier League is the perfect place for Tottenham to bring in.

Rist did not immediately take a position. Rist's original idea was to keep Cech at Everton for two years and then wait for the deep-pocketed Chelsea to buy him. I didn't expect this kind of thing to come out in the middle, and Tottenham wanted to buy Cech. Tottenham are not the best place for Cech.

In the future Premier League, Ferguson and Arsene Wenger are definitely old foxes. No matter how difficult the club is, no matter how the two clubs are in decline, as long as there are two of them, there will not be too much turmoil, and any difficulties can be overcome. Even if there is a slump in one or two seasons, it will come out quickly. As for Liverpool, Rist will go out of his way to support Benitez.

Chelsea, on the other hand, don't even think about it. Modern football has only one thing, and that is money. Once Roman Abramovich arrives at Chelsea, no one can stop Chelsea's rise. As long as you spend money, Chelsea's good players will come one after another, and such a club will not be able to stop his rise at all. That's why Chelsea are the place for Cech.

"Frank, I'll be honest. Peter: I stayed for other purposes. But now that you've spoken, I can promise you. But Peter's contract must have liquidated damages. ”

"You're ......"

Arneson was halfway through the sentence and didn't go on. Liquidated damages, the contracts of Premier League players generally do not have any liquidated damages. Arneson was smart enough to understand what Rist was thinking when he heard what he meant. So he nodded and said, "It's easy to do." If a wealthy family wants him, I won't be his way. ”

"That's good. That's right, Frank. When thinking about the backline, think of Materazzi's Materazi. ”

"Okay." (To be continued......)
