Volume 1 Chapter 544 Messi is not for sale!
Ye Qiu's reaction not only surprised Messi, but even Cesc Fabregas was equally surprised
In their opinion, although the club does not contribute to Messi's transfer to Manchester City, at least they have a positive attitude, because the transfer fee of 150 million euros is an irresistible temptation for any team.
So when he heard Messi say that he didn't want to join Manchester City, his first reaction was that this matter was probably enough.
In the past few years, especially as a person in the football circle, he has heard some insider information that others do not know, such as a certain team acting righteous in front of the media, but in fact secretly coercing players to transfer in exchange for high transfer fees, this kind of thing is not uncommon even for teams such as Barcelona and Real Madrid.
But the result of the matter surprised him a little, that is, when Messi said to Ye Qiu that he didn't want to join Manchester City, Ye Qiu's first reaction was to nod, and then said somewhat flatly, if you don't want to go to Manchester City, then stay.
The whole process was not only surprised by Cesc Fabregas as a bystander, but also by Messi himself.
A transfer of 150 million euros, so simple, so easy to solve?
In the past six months, the club has been busy running around for this transfer, and now it is so easy to dispel?
Especially when Ye Qiu smiled and said, "Actually, I don't want you to transfer either", when Ye Qiu said this, not only Messi was moved by him, but Fabregas was also moved by him.
Anyone who had to choose between 150 million euros and a player would you choose?
Cesc Fabregas believes that all the teams in the world, even the super-rich man of Real Madrid, will not hesitate to choose 150 million, because no matter who puts this money in, it is a huge amount of money.
Heading north from Canary Wharf, on the way home, Cesc Fabregas kept thinking about a question, why would Ye Qiuwei agree to Messi's request so easily? To know it, that's 150 million euros
Perhaps, there is only one explanation, that is, Ye Qiu feels that there are some things that are more important and worthy of attention than this 150 million euros, and from the past few years of interaction, Fabregas feels that Ye Qiu is a super-rich man with ideals and pursuits, and more importantly, he loves football very, very much.
Just from the fact that he has been putting down his business and continuing to insist on his coaching for so many years, it is not difficult to see his love for football, so he is now keeping Messi, on the surface, it is very surprising, but in fact, it is not worth surprise.
Because that's what Fabregas and others are looking for
It was once said that the luckiest thing for a professional player is to meet a manager who understands and reuses himself, and at the same time has a very obvious tactical pursuit, Cesc Fabregas has always considered himself lucky because he met Ye Qiu, but now he also feels fortunate that Ye Qiu is not only the manager of Tottenham Hotspur, but also the owner of the club.
Look at what Ye Qiu and Tottenham Hotspur did to Messi, and then think back to the past two years, Barcelona has made empty promises to himself again and again, in such an obvious contrast, he felt a little dissatisfied with Barcelona for the first time, because he felt that he was a little played and used.
When he played at a high level at Tottenham Hotspur, Barcelona contacted Cesc Fabregas's parents, through whom they contacted Fabregas and promised that Barcelona were eager to bring him in, but they brought in Deco.
Cesc Fabregas has never hidden his desire to return to Barcelona, because this team is a mecca in the eyes of all Catalans, all Catalans want to be able to wear this team shirt, play for this team, and some have even said that only wearing a Barcelona shirt can be considered a Catalan hero.
So Cesc Fabregas has felt that he is very close to Barcelona many times, but from Deco to Messi now, Barcelona seems to be getting farther and farther away from him.
Not waiting to see their own academy produce is a typical sticking point for all big teams, from Real Madrid to Barcelona, and even Manchester United, Arsenal, Inter Milan and AC Milan.
But as a professional, Cesc Fabregas can understand, because it is impossible for all professional players to play in the first team and have the quality to play for the team, which is why he chose to leave Barcelona and come to England in the first place.
But the problem is, players are not goods, doesn't it mean that you thought of it today, you need it, you put it up and talk about it, you are happy, but have you thought about how the players feel in their hearts?
This is true for Real Madrid, but why not for Barcelona?
Fabregas is now more and more aware that he has no way to live by an illusory promise made by Barcelona's top management, because relatively speaking, Ye Qiu's promise to him is more realistic, that is, as long as Barcelona can give Tottenham Hotspur a satisfactory price, they can take Fabregas at any time.
"Don't think I'm measuring you with money, on the contrary, I'm measuring Barcelona's sincerity to you with money"
"If they're talking about sincerity and they're putting you in a Tottenham shirt but they're putting pressure on Barcelona, do you think that's sincerity? Does that mean they value you? ”
Looking up from the sunroof of the BMW, the sky in England is very different from sunny Spain, and although Fabregas likes to see the sun in the south, he is also used to the cold and damp England.
Perhaps, this gray day, as if the relationship between him and Barcelona, is difficult to explain and understand, but it is as if the car he is sitting in and the road he is driving now represent a living reality, that is, Tottenham Hotspur.
While Fabregas was thinking crankily on the way home, Ye Qiu returned to the White Hart Lane Stadium from Canary Wharf.
The employees of the administration department were a little startled to see him rush back in such a hurry, and when he told Peter Kenyon and others about his conversation with Messi, he was equally surprised
"I'm not against that," Peter Kenyon and Ron Gulley looked at each other, and then raised their hands in agreement with a big bald smile.
"I'm not against it either," Ron Gurley also said.
Robert Milson raised his hands even more, "I've never objected"
"For what?" Ye Qiu was a little surprised, pointing to this group of guys who were laughing a little puzzled, and smiled a little bitterly.
Peter Kenyon thought for a moment, "From the point of view of the club operator, selling Messi, we will earn back 150 million euros, this is a hammer deal, of course, we make a lot, but if we keep Messi, it is true that we will make 150 million euros less, but the strength of the club is guaranteed." ”
"Moreover, we can compensate for some of the losses through sponsors, Messi stays, we have more bargaining chips to negotiate with sponsors, and we can recover some losses when the time comes, and the fans have always opposed the sale of Messi."
Since it was announced that Messi would switch to Manchester City at the end of the season, Tottenham Hotspur fans have been reluctant to do so, because Messi is the team's current number one star and the team's front-court tactical core.
"As you said, money is endless, but Messi has only one" Ron Gulley was more succinct.
Ye Qiu glanced at Robert Milson, the latter was also very anxious, what should be said was told by these two guys, he looked at it from another angle, "I think we can keep Messi and take the opportunity to build the team into a giant team that all players are eager to follow, so that everyone knows that we don't sell all players, we are humanized management, and we want to provide players with a kind of family warmth."
Ye Qiu glanced at these three guys, known as the Tottenham Hotspur high-level iron triangle, in charge of three different areas, but each of them is a top talent, and they have all grown with Tottenham Hotspur along the way, and their own work ability is getting better and better.
It's like Peter Kenyon and Ron Gulley, after Chelsea's Waterloo, everyone doubted that the bald man was no longer good, but Tottenham Hotspur, he built the north London team into the best team in Europe in just three years, and Tottenham Hotspur's management has completely caught up with Arsenal.
To be sure, this is based on the gap between Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium, and if Tottenham Hotspur move into a new stadium, the huge gap between the two teams will be even more vividly reflected.
There are also people like Robert Milson, who was born as a journalist, but his previous work was basically as a public relations consultant in some companies, with no fame, no status and influence, but now it is different, when it comes to Robert Milson of Tottenham Hotspur, who in the industry does not know about him? Who doesn't give a thumbs up?
Tottenham Hotspur have hardly had a single scandal in the past three years, with Robert Milson taking the credit
There were also many people who wondered why Tottenham Hotspur didn't have the kind of intrigue that other big clubs had.
The reason is very simple, the reason why people are intrigued, the main contradiction lies in the conflict of interests and powers, Tottenham Hotspur adopts a high salary policy, the salaries of the three major management are very high, and the distribution of powers is relatively reasonable, who is good at what, what is responsible, everyone has a very clear boundary of authority, which can minimize friction and conflict.
The Chinese have a saying called ugly words in front, and this is the truth.
"Okay, since you all agreed, then so be it" Ye Qiu didn't say much, many things were tacitly understood, "Peter, give me Mubarak's number, I will personally tell him that Messi is not for sale."
"I'll fight," Peter Kenyon laughed after hearing this, "you are our boss, of course we are acting for you in this kind of thing." ”
With a phone call from Peter Kenyon, Mubarak regretted the decision of both Tottenham Hotspur and Messi.
In fact, he knows the key issue himself, in the final analysis, in addition to Messi's feelings for Tottenham Hotspur, a very important reason is that Manchester City's results are so bad that everyone knows that there is only one reason for transferring to Manchester City, and that is money
But Mubarak was not discouraged by this, but hoped to continue to maintain friendly relations with the top management of Tottenham Hotspur, after all, their Abu Dhabi consortium has almost no connections in the football circle, but Tottenham Hotspur is not Ye Qiu, even if it is the three major management, which one is not a well-known figure in the football circle?
With Tottenham Hotspur announcing Messi's stay in the team the next day, the whole world was shocked by this news, because they never thought that the original ironclad transfer would suddenly turn around so much, and Tottenham Hotspur is in the news and publicity, but also fully exaggerates Messi's loyalty to the team, as well as Tottenham Hotspur's protection of players.
Sometimes a transfer doesn't have to be successful to make big news, just like this Messi transfer, although it failed, it was also very exciting big news.
After Messi's transfer failed, there was also a huge turmoil in the transfer market, Manchester City may have been hit by Kaka and Messi's two transfers in a row, which made their transfers begin to tend to be low-key, and the players they are looking for are basically taking the pragmatic route, after all, everyone knows that with Manchester City's current strength, it is almost impossible to introduce top teams.
On the contrary, Manchester United, not long after Florentino came to power, announced that Cristiano Ronaldo would be transferred to Real Madrid, Ferguson personally held a press conference and announced that Real Madrid would use Sneijder and Las Diarra to bear part of the transfer fee, and the specific transfer amount was kept secret.
Everyone was taken by surprise, after eating Benzema and Wayne Rooney, Ferguson's move on the midfield also began, Sneijder and Las Diarra are both outstanding stars in the midfield, so that Manchester United's squad for the new season is bound to be shockingly strong.
However, Ferguson also denied in this press conference that Manchester United did not have the idea of bringing in Robben
This made Ye Qiu smell some signs, that is, Manchester United's attack is finally going to be disordered.
Tevez, Benzema and Wayne Rooney, the three strikers are all team players who have strong individual ability and can cooperate with their teammates, they not only have the technical strength and speed, but more importantly, they are willing to fight.
With Sneijder, Lars Diarra and Michael Carrick behind him, Manchester United's midfield is equally impressive, and with an already solid backline, it can be said that Manchester United's squad for the new season is definitely worth everyone's expectations.
After eating Kaka and Cristiano Ronaldo, Real Madrid also announced again that it had brought in Welsh winger Gareth Bale and Spanish defender Arbeloa from Tottenham Hotspur for a high price of 55 million euros plus 20 million euros respectively.
In Ye Qiu's previous life, the reason why Arbeloa switched from Liverpool to Real Madrid at a low price was because his contract only had one year left, and the player himself was willing to return to Real Madrid, so the price was very low, but now the situation is different, Arbeloa does not say that his fame is much greater than Ye Qiu's previous life, but that the contract has just been renewed for one year, and it is at the peak of the price, so Real Madrid does not give a high price, and Tottenham Hotspur is unlikely to agree to release him.
The Spanish media also broke the news again that Real Madrid has targeted Spanish defender Xavi Alonso for the next recruitment after the introduction of Cesc Fabregas was rejected, and Liverpool has given the green light to the departure of the Spanish player.
At the same time as the introduction of stars, Real Madrid's sales are also going on, among which the most valuable players are Robben, Huntelaar and Van der Vaart, and a group of youth players in the Real Madrid team have also received the attention of many teams, such as Parejo, Neguel, Miguel Torres and other players, the strength is not bad, but they are currently facing departure.
Unlike Real Madrid, who bought and sold a large team and planned to rebuild a strong team in the shortest possible time, Barcelona's most important problem now is the striker, so Guardiola's transfer strategy this summer is still to strengthen the midfield.
Selling Samuel Eto'o for 30 million euros, Barcelona's first transfer was 14 million euros to bring in striker Cleison from Brazil's Palmeiras, but the club still has a large transfer fee in their hands, hoping to bring in two attackers up front, and Barcelona are currently in full swing with transfer operations.
In the middle of the pitch, Pep Guardiola mainly chooses between two players, Ibrahimovic and Robin van Persie, while the other attacker chooses between Valencia's Villa and Ajax's Alexis Sanchez, while Barcelona have also asked Tottenham Hotspur about Van Persie's offer, and Van Persie has also told the team through his agent that he does not rule out joining Barcelona.
There is information that Cruyff personally spoke to Van Persie and persuaded the Dutch.
Tottenham Hotspur sold Gareth Bale when they were sure that Messi would not leave, but they still gave the green light to Van Persie's transfer, but they offered Barcelona a sky-high price of 80 million euros, which made Barcelona so angry that they almost scolded, because the Bat Army also offered a sky-high price of 60 million euros to David Villa.
However, it is no wonder that David Villa is now being chased by both Real Madrid and Barcelona, and the Bats are indeed not worried about running out of buyers, and Tottenham Hotspur is no different.
Barcelona's second summer signing was the acquisition of Chilean winger Alexis Sanchez from Ajax for 35 million euros, which was also another transfer record for Ajax after Sneijder.
According to the previous agreement between the two parties, Ajax asked Ye Qiu when accepting the offer from Barcelona, but considering such a high price, Tottenham Hotspur finally gave up the pursuit of Alexis Sanchez.
Ye Qiu's top priority now is obviously not in the winger position, but at left back, as well as forward
