"Isn't it too much to be a black-hearted businessman when you first arrive in the Premier League......," Esposito muttered, but still accepted this approach: even if Tottenham originally planned, they would have to sell them for money, otherwise, where would the investment of more than 80 million come from? Since it was ready to be sold, Esposito didn't say much.

"Manchester United are now offering Dimitar Berbatov for £26 million and Liverpool for Robbie Keane for £20 million. But Manchester City seems to have the idea of robbing Huberbatov, they may give a higher price - Manchester City now has a bit of a intention to be different from Manchester United, they buy people not for use, or to make trouble for Manchester United, so we can't believe in their sincerity in the deal, we have to wait and see, it is still reliable to sell to Manchester United, but if it is appropriate, Berbatov can also be considered to be sold to Manchester City. In any case, these two people, I have to get 50 million, otherwise, we won't have enough money to buy players. ”

"It's almost this price, but ten people in one breath is a bit big, if you buy ten people, it's still a little worse, right?"

"Paul Robinson, Tynio, Cabourg, Lee Wing-pyo, Hutton, these people can get about 20 million pounds for sweeping out. In this way, it is 100 million pounds, which is 120 million euros, which is enough for us. ”

"These players in England are not of a good level, and they are all worth really high." Esposito sighed, "A butter hand like Paul Robinson is worth £5 million!" ”

Esposito's attitude was a little jealous and a little disdainful: England's players, in general, were a little underwhelming. From the early 90s, England's youth training began to collapse, and by the late 90s, and into the new century, there was a huge injection of capital into the Premier League. On the one hand, the youth players did not play well, and on the other hand, foreign players began to pour in in large numbers, and when the two were juxtaposed, the English players were worse and worse year by year.

"Because they are players from the British Isles and have status in the eyes of the fans, they are worth a lot. Not to mention that these English players are the players of the entire British Isles, aren't they all regarded as treasures by the British? In the past, Manchester United's Keane was almost regarded as his own by the English, and Giggs was not also treated as an outsider by the British media? Just this year, Ferguson also let go of Pique in order to promote Evans, which is also a Northern Irish man, but as long as he is a player from the British Isles, he is valued here. Don't underestimate them, if we have seven or eight England internationals in our team, then we will talk to the media, complain about the schedule, complain about the cards, and it will be a lot of losses. ”

Li Bin was actually very disgusted by this, but he knew that this was very realistic. In any country's league, local players are popular, the British are rich, and local players are naturally valuable.

Li Bin is also reluctant to complain, because he does not suffer if local players have status: Tottenham has many local players, and he does not need his players to form a Tottenham gang to affect the tactics of the England team - England's life or death has nothing to do with him - but a large number of international players can put pressure on the FA through the media when they speak, and they will be able to shine much brighter when the time comes.

The FA has always been a very competitive organisation and it would be useful to put pressure on them. In the Premier League, the referee who dares to award a penalty to Manchester United will inevitably not be able to get any Premier League law enforcement opportunities that season, and Mourinho, who returned to Chelsea for the second time, just shouted a few words I may be persecuted, and he has not been awarded a penalty for a season - this kind of treatment, Li Bin also wants to get.

But that's for later, and now it's about how to innovate the players.

"The first thing we have to change is a goalkeeper. Although I said that I need to consider buying English players, I will not use an English player in the goalkeeper position. "Now that the team is going to be restructured, Li Bin is ready to start changing everything in the team, and the first thing he thinks about is the goalkeeper position.

The top half of the team with a good goalkeeper may be an exaggeration, but there is definitely some truth to it. Especially for teams that don't have a particularly strong attack, or even a 1-0 team, if the goalkeeper can keep a clean sheet most of the time, and those who miss a goal in a game, the difference is big - three points and one point, everyone will settle the account. Li Bin is not a 1-0 player, but he definitely doesn't want a goalkeeper who leaks the ball either.

And the goalkeeper of England has been a shortcoming for many years. For a long time, there has been a lot of frustration with England's tradition of butter-hand goalkeepers. England's retired veteran goalkeeper Pete Hilton once bombarded England for neglecting the development of goalkeepers. Because of the money, England can directly buy a large number of players from abroad, and their own players have no chance, and the competition for the goalkeeper position is far more fierce than other positions, and it will not be replaced easily, which also makes the young England goalkeeper never play.

Tottenham Hotspur last season, the goalkeeper position can be said to have been rotten at home. Even if Li Bin doesn't come, they can't put up with Paul Robinson anymore and have to buy a new goalkeeper. Tottenham's choice was PSV Eindhoven's goalkeeper Gomez, but Li Bin was not particularly satisfied with his level: after spending so much time in Serie A, Li Bin was also picky about the goalkeeper position. Italy's training of goalkeepers is the best in the world, and Parma has raised a goalkeeper like Buffon, and Li Bin is naturally qualified to be picky about this.

As a Brazilian goalkeeper, Gomez has many of the best qualities of a Brazilian: he has great physicality, great bounce and is able to make good saves from time to time. However, he is basically a goalkeeper like Barthez, and his form is extremely inconsistent, and he can save the ball that seems to be unsavable, but the ball that looks very simple, he just loses the ball by a low-level mistake. One second made people cheer, and the next second made people stunned - such an unstable goalkeeper, Li Bin is ugly, he still wants to buy others.

"You can save money by buying another location, but you can't try to save money by buying a goalkeeper. For this position, I will spend 20 million yuan, and I will have to buy good players for me no matter what. Li Bin and Esposito talked about their thoughts, "This position, no matter what, you have to be on top of the best players." ”

"Gigi can't buy it." Esposito shrugged, "However, if you want to talk about young people, the most important ones right now are Akinfeev in Russia, Neuer and Adler in Germany, and then Loris in France." These people, if they are willing to spend 20 million, they can all take it down, but who should buy it? ”

These players are almost the goalkeepers who are considered the most promising in the future in the world.

"Who do you think is more suitable?"

"Akinfeev has a problem with his judgment of the high ball and this player is too unmotivated, which is a big problem. Loris is in Lyon, I'm afraid we won't be able to dig it. The two Germans are digging up, but there are not a few people staring at Adler, and if we move, there will definitely be people competing with us. And Neuer ...... His hand-to-hand ball handling is just scum. ”

Of these goalkeepers, in fact, the first one to be ruled out was Akinfeev: his strength is good, but he has been in the Russian Premier League for so many years, and the environment determines that his progress is too small, and he himself does not have much ambition, which also makes the scouts not rate him highly. And the next one who was expelled was Loris. Although his moves, attacks, and reactions are all top-notch, but now Lyon is also a giant, and they have just entered the Champions League semi-finals, and they are ambitiously preparing to increase investment in revival, buying their goalkeeper, Tottenham's fame is not enough.

And the remaining two are Adler and Neuer. The former is recognized by scouts throughout the world as the world's No. 1 in the world who is optimistic about the future of the world, and can not find any shortcomings in almost any aspect, and is also the successor of the future goalkeeper recognized by the German team. Basically, it can be said that he is close to perfection in any aspect except for the domineering command at the back, and is recognized as the most promising goalkeeper.

And then there is Neuer, if you talk about physical fitness, his body is better than Adler, but his skills are slightly inferior to Adler. One is that he is not stable enough, and the other is that his hand control skills are too poor.

The so-called hand control of the ball, to put it bluntly, is the technique of catching the ball with your hand and holding the ball after the ball has come - it seems simple, but it is very significant. If you catch some simple balls with your hands, rather than blocking them with your fists, it's very important for the goalkeeper. In the 02 final, Kahn did not choose to catch the ball because of that low-level mistake, and Ronaldo missed the goal, and his reputation was ruined. And Neuer is not good enough in this regard: he basically relies on blocking, and the problem of receiving the ball is very big, and he is criticized badly. Although he has already won the Bundesliga Goalkeeper of the Year once, it is still believed that he will not be as well-rounded as Adler in the future.

However, for Li Bin, he knows something better: although until the end of 09, Adler was popular with Binoer, but then, Adler was seriously injured twice, making him completely dead. This player, if bought, is a big injury problem.

Therefore, for these two people, Li Bin also made a choice immediately, "I still hope to buy Neuer." ”

"For what? Is it because Adler is not easy to buy, or is it because Neuer has more control? ”

Esposito still considered tactically: Neuer's hand skills were not good, but his foot skills were very good. He's got a lot of coverage, he's good on the ball and he's good at opening his feet. Such a player is more in line with the development trend of football in the future.

"It's one aspect, and there's one aspect, it's because of this player, compared to Adler, who is a little bit more energetic." Li Bin said, "Have you noticed that Tottenham has one of the biggest problems: from Ledley King as the captain down, everyone is a tepid temper. They all decided from the bottom of their hearts that they were not as good as the top four of the Premier League - this is a deep-rooted concept for many years, and they decided that White Hart Lane is Manchester United's three-point lane - this kind of mentality is something I need to change. Manuel Neuer's temper is more energetic, which is what the media says is not mature enough, but it is exactly what I need: this energy, or momentum, is important for our team. ”

In fact, of course, Li Bin has another reason that cannot be said: the goalkeeper is important after all, and Li Bin still hopes to choose a player with greater hope of success. However, this question is also important, and there is a clear lack of adler in the evaluation of Neuer, which is that this player is compared to two: whether it is his performance on the field or the person off the field, he is a little less composure. However, this point also makes Li Bin very important: Tottenham have been in the doldrums for too long, their players are too calm, and they need a breath of vitality now - not necessarily to shout invincible to fight all the way, but at least, to have the morale not to be burdened by those false names.

If Adler is in the hands of Li Bin, he may not be injured, and he may be able to play better than Neuer, but his natural composure will not help Tottenham's temperament change, which is one of the most important reasons for Li Bin to make this choice.

Tottenham need to change not only the players, the squad, but also the temperament. They need to inject a hard breath, a breath of vitality. That's why Li Bin chooses younger, more energetic players: players who can fundamentally change Tottenham's future. Only by buying more young people can we change the temperament of this team.

"But buying Neuer is not cheap at first, 15 million pounds is at least. Second, he may not be willing to come, and third, we may still face competition. ”

"Don't worry: if there is no Adler, then it will be troublesome to buy Neuer. But there's Adler...... In a transfer battle, we have the leverage. ”
