Chapter 699: Wishes
On December 26, the day after Christmas, Tottenham Hotspur travelled to Southampton.
Adrianse's Southampton have been a succession this season and currently sit ninth in the Premier League, with little relegation worries left, but more importantly, the team is not just a dark horse, but also a striking tactical style.
Among the three promoted teams in the Premier League this season, Southampton and Swansea from Wales are both the kind of teams that tend to be more technical, with Southampton attracting the attention of fans with their crazy attacking attacks, especially since this team has achieved consecutive league promotions in the past two seasons, and the limelight is very strong.
But in the end, Tottenham Hotspur defeated Southampton 2-0 away with Messi's two goals.
After this game, Ye Qiu and Southampton's chairman Matthew? Le Tissier and the head coach Co? Adrianse, meet at the administrative office at St Mary's Stadium in Southampton.
As a satellite club of Tottenham Hotspur, Southampton has completely built the English Saints into a continental style and attacking football team in the three years since Adrianse's arrival, which makes Southampton now full of competitiveness in the Premier League this season.
But only Matthew? Letissier himself knew that if it weren't for Ye Qiu's strong support, Adrianse, a quirky guy, would probably have been out of class a long time ago, because he almost didn't fight with Leticière at the beginning.
However, both of them are not right people, so they were too angry, Ye Qiu came out, everyone talked calmly, and then they were all relieved, especially after the run-in period, Adrianse's team soon showed surprising combat effectiveness, and his transformation of the academy was also very successful.
This time, they are determined to make up for the winter break, and the players they want to bring in are aimed at Tottenham Hotspur.
'We need a right-back, a wide attacker and a passer in the middle of midfield!' Letisier is not polite to Ye Qiu at all, the two sides have cooperated for so many years, he knows Ye Qiu's temper very well, the more polite you are to Ye Qiu, the more uncomfortable Ye Qiu will be, it is better to talk directly to the point.
After Ye Qiu heard this, he thought for a while, "Then who do you want?" β
Adrianse was even more unkind, "Hazard! β
"I'll go!" Ye Qiu directly compared a middle finger, you get out of the way and dig my beloved general!
Letissier on the side laughed, "At least Lucas?" Mora! β
This can be considered, at least Ye Qiu is still very convinced of Adrianse's ability to cultivate players.
Seeing that Ye Qiu was silent, Letissier glanced at Adrianse, although Ye Qiu pretended not to care, he saw it very clearly, and just deliberately pretended not to know, but waited and watched.
"Right wing-back, I know you're definitely not going to give it to Kyle? Walker, the soon-to-be-seventeen-year-old Karum? Chambers on loan at Southampton, in the middle of the midfield, Eriksen and Coutinho, you pick one! β
Ye Qiu really didn't expect that Adrianse was still so direct, and he blamed himself for promising him at the beginning, saying that he would fully support him.
"You really know how to pick, and you specialize in picking good players!" Ye Qiu smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Who knows, Adrianse was not polite after hearing this, "I don't like the bad ones either!" β
"Then we have to say okay, only loan, buyout without negotiation, if I want to recall, I will notify in advance, and Coutinho has to arrange to play in the middle, this kid you have to give me a snack and give him a little more defensive pressure, as for Lucas? Mora, you can do it yourself, you can't beat the main force, I'll call it back in the summer! β
Ye Qiu loaned players to Southampton, and the purpose was also very clear, that is, to exercise.
Southampton's right-back Richardson is injured and Chambers is expected to be able to play a lot of games, as for Coutinho and Lucas? Moura, basically went to the main team and the core players, these two players in Tottenham Hotspur temporarily can't play the main team, but in Southampton, that is more than enough.
"Don't worry, give me some time, I'll give you two stars!" After Adrian heard Ye Qiu's promise, he also made his promise with satisfaction.
Originally, in the midfield, he preferred Eriksen, this player has excellent running ability and strong tactical execution, unlike Coutinho, the Brazilian is a bit lazy, but more cunning and creative than Eriksen, especially the ability to pass through the ball, which is really surprising.
The reason why Ye Qiu chose Coutinho is also because the Brazilian's progress has come to a standstill, rather than letting him stay at Tottenham Hotspur, it is better to simply go out on loan and let him go to a new environment, maybe he can stimulate his potential, and Adrianse's ability to adjust players, Ye Qiu is still very convinced.
After Ye Qiu led the team back to London from Southampton, he immediately informed Chambers, Coutinho and Lucas? The agents of the three Moura players have informed them of the club's decision that they will be sent to Southampton on loan, where they will get more opportunities to play and gain more experience.
After completing three loan deals, Tottenham Hotspur travel to Swansea City on 30 December.
Brendan Rodgers' side were indeed very difficult, sitting on their home turf, they had a hard time playing with Tottenham Hotspur, almost not allowing Tottenham Hotspur to return empty-handed from the road, and finally it was Ramsey who received an assist from Kompany in the 73-pointer to score the winning goal for Tottenham Hotspur.
But just two days later, on January 2, Tottenham Hotspur hosted West Bromwich Albion, and Ye Qiu's team finally beat West Bromwich Albion 1-0 at home with Messi's assist to Cavani, ending the Christmas Devils schedule with three consecutive wins.
But there is also tragedy, that is, after two consecutive wins, Benitez's Liverpool suffered a 3-0 defeat to Mancini's Manchester City after two consecutive wins, and ushered in the first blow to the beginning of the season.
But what is even more tragic is that Ferguson's Manchester United, which lost 0:3 away to Newcastle, while West Ham United sat on their home turf, beating the Blues Chelsea 2:1, plus Arsenal lost 1:2 away to Fulham, the entire Premier League landscape has changed dramatically, and even many media have called this round a new era in the Premier League.
It turns out that professional football either relies on the system to fight or burns money.
Manchester United used to have a system, but now they have problems, Ferguson is getting older, he is gradually developing the stubbornness of the elderly, coupled with the Glazer family's bloodsucking of Manchester United, which has made it impossible for Manchester United to effectively bring in players in the transfer market, and the team's results have suffered.
Newcastle, West Ham United and Manchester City can all be said to have built up by burning money, but these teams are also becoming more and more savvy. After Hughes's lesson, he brought in Mancini, although Mancini's weakness as a manager is very obvious, but he has the tactical literacy and theory of the Italians, and his ability to integrate a team is still very strong.
Newcastle and West Ham United have invited Redknapp and Claudio Ranieri to coach respectively, and both managers have undoubted ability and can build a solid foundation for their teams.
After the end of 2011, Sky Sports also produced a show of the year in line with its past management, with Chelsea striker Fernando Torres being the best of the year and Tottenham Hotspur's Italian midfielder Andrea Pirlo for his zero transfer fee.
In the selection, the other best signing also belongs to Tottenham Hotspur, that is, the introduction of Vidal for 12 million euros, the Chilean has performed as well as ever after joining Tottenham Hotspur, but Ye Qiu has repeatedly said that Vidal can be stronger, but this transfer is still not as cost-effective as Pirlo.
In addition, Messi of the Year of the Player of the Year and Young Player of the Year went to Ramsey, as 2011 was seen as a season in which Ramsey made great progress, and his solid footing at Tottenham Hotspur was also solid and impressive, which made him Sturridge the Young Player of the Year award over Chelsea's.
The Club Owner of the Year went to Ye Qiu, but the Manager of the Year went to Southampton's Adrianse.
But the latter is given to the Dutchman mainly because Adrianse has led Southampton to promotion after promotion in the past two seasons, achieving triple jumps, and after entering the Premier League this season, the Saints have been as good as ever.
The biggest game of the year was Tottenham Hotspur's 8-0 thrashing of the Red Devils, the most humiliating game in more than a century, and the comment was, "It's a game that you can't believe your eyes!" β
But the Red Devils also won an award, which was the surprise of the year, Manchester United's exit from the Champions League group stage, which surprised countless fans, and the team of the year went to Tottenham Hotspur, which is also a well-deserved thing.
The final selection was also the result of Sky TV's online vote from all England fans.
Your three wishes for 2012!
As a result, England won Euro 2012, which became the most desired thing for all England fans, while the second place was only a little less than the first wish, which was Tottenham Hotspur to win the Champions League.
In the explanation of many fans, they believe that the Premier League team has suffered the most humiliating scene in the past few years, that is, three of the four teams participating in the Champions League have stopped in the group stage and failed to reach the knockout stage, and only Tottenham Hotspur has come out on top, so they hope that the north London team can turn the tide and save the prestige and dignity of the Premier League.
The third wish is to stop racist, which is also a common wish of all people in football.
To this end, Sky TV also interviewed Tottenham Hotspur CEO Peter Hotspur? Kenyon, who refused to answer what the team's goal was, thanked the fans and said with a joking smile: "We have an old fan who said that if you don't win the league, you will kill yourself, and now the whole England fan wants us to win the Champions League, which makes us feel a lot of pressure from top to bottom!" β
Sky TV's selection is also a bit of a campaign for Tottenham Hotspur, and the media across the UK are also building momentum for Messi, hoping that the Argentine can once again dominate his opponents in this year's FIFA Ballon d'Or.
At the weekend, Tottenham Hotspur beat Cheltenham 3-0 away to advance to the fourth round of the FA Cup thanks to goals from Raul, Hazzard and Neymar.
The day after the game, Tottenham Hotspur headed to Zurich.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Long before the start of the FIFA awards ceremony, there were rumors of some award winners.
For example, the best coach of the year, this time Ye Qiu finally overwhelmed Pep Guardiola, who had just led the team to win the Champions League, and Manchester United coach Alex Ferguson, who eliminated Tottenham Hotspur, and Inter Milan coach Jose Mourinho, and won the best manager of the year.
French football announced this news as early as the cover of the magazine in early January, and they believe that a very important reason why the award will be awarded to Ye Qiu is that Tottenham Hotspur has been unbeaten in 70 games so far, which has allowed Tottenham Hotspur to climb to fourth place in the world unbeaten record.
There are many people who believe that Tottenham Hotspur's current strength is indeed good, but it is unlikely that they will challenge the first string of unbeaten records, because if they want to challenge Abidjan's mimosa of 108 games, they will have to extend their unbeaten run until the 30th round of next season to equal.
That said, Tottenham's unbeaten run will have to continue for more than a year, but it's almost impossible!
The Goal of the Year went to Tottenham's Neymar, who won the Puskas Award for Goal of the Year against Everton, breaking through the flank at a crucial moment and linking up with his team-mates to score a shot from the side.
And in the Team of the Year, Cech, Alves, Thiago? Five Tottenham Hotspur players, including Silva, Andrea Pirlo and Lionel Messi, were selected, which was also the team with the most selections, and Ribery was not selected for the best team.
At the Zurich Opera House that evening, Ye Qiu took the stage to receive the Coach of the Year trophy from Mateus, and said, "The reason why I am standing here is not because of how many victories we have or how many unbeaten games we have achieved, but because I am in a great team, working hard with a group of great players, and this is the reason why I won the award!" β
"I would like to say that Tottenham Hotspur football is just beginning, we are on a different path, I am confident that we can achieve more and better results, and I want to dedicate this award to all Tottenham Hotspur players!"
As for the host on the scene, he wants Ye Qiu to comment on his favorite Messi, as well as the other two players who were selected for the top three of the Golden Balls, Xavi and Cristiano? When Ronaldo was in power, Ye Qiu did not hesitate to say that Messi should win the award.
"Of course, this is my selfishness!" Ye Qiu expressed his partiality very frankly.
'I would say that being in the top three is the biggest recognition for them, and whoever wins the award is a matter of course, maybe there will be some controversy, but I think they all deserve this award because they love the sport so much and they are willing to give it their all for football.
"A lot of people say that Messi is very talented, but no one knows that Messi is behind the talent, he has put in hard training and sweat that ordinary people can't understand, as far as I know, Cristiano? Ronaldo and Xavi, they do the same, they put a very, very hard work into football and that's why they're on this stage. β
"Perhaps, there will be a ranking in the selection, there is only one trophy, but in my mind, they are the best professional players on the planet!"
Ye Qiu's words won full applause, and even when Ye Qiu stepped down, Cristiano? Ronaldo and Xavi both took the initiative to stand up and hug Ye Qiu to thank Ye Qiu for his affirmation of them.
But in the end, it was given to Messi because he was really good and scored a lot of goals.
When Messi stepped onto the podium and received the Ballon d'Or, he first showed the award to everyone in the audience, and then he thanked his teammates, the coaching staff, and especially thanked the head coach Ye Qiu by name, as well as his family and friends, which is also Messi's consistent statement.
"We had a conversation just now, and it touched me a lot, because I remember that there was a time when I was at a low point, and some people said that I was playing with talent, and I didn't even get a chance to play in the first team at that time, but I always believed that because we had told me that opportunities are only reserved for those who are prepared, and you, are you ready?"
"I think the head is right, there will definitely be a ranking in the selection, but I don't think I'm better than Cristiano? Ronaldo, or Xavi is better, and even I don't think I'm better than my best friend, my team-mate, and my best partner, Franck Ribery, because I think Ribery gives more and more to football, and I see him gritting his teeth every day in order to overcome his injuries, and he sweats every day, and I am very touched! β
"Here, I want to tell everyone that although this award is for Messi, it is also for my best teammate Frank? Franck Ribery, at the same time to our centre-forward Edinson Cavani, to Ramsey, to Andrea Pirlo, to Vidal, to Thiago? Silva, to all Tottenham Hotspur players! β
"I want to say to them, guys, you deserve this award too!"
"What else do I want to do to my best friend Frank? Ribery said, "Messi specifically pointed to Ribery who was sitting next to Ye Qiu, Scarface was empty-handed this year, and he didn't get any awards, "Hey, buddy, I'm very fortunate to have you by my side in the past few years, we fought side by side, I feel honored for this, I know your wish, if I make a wish now, I hope to be able to help you as soon as possible, get out of injury, get back to form, stand on this stage, and lift this trophy!" β
Messi's sudden words moved many people present, and Ribery hugged Messi tightly when he came to his side, and all the people who watched the live broadcast around the world clearly saw the tears in the corners of Ribery's eyes.
Perhaps, there are countless people who will be moved by the internal harmony of Tottenham Hotspur and the friendship between Messi and Ribery at this moment.
