Chapter 708: Legendary Terminator

In the end, Tottenham Hotspur relied on Vincent Kompany's header to beat the Red Devils Manchester United to maintain their position at the top of the Premier League table, while also increasing their chances of winning the title this season.

After the game, the Premier League officially awarded the Man of the Match to Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Andrea Pirlo, because not only did he assist Vincent Kompany with a well-placed corner, but he also created plenty of chances in the game, but more importantly, he ensured that Tottenham Hotspur had a firm grip on the game.

Although many people were skeptical of Pirlo during the summer transfer, believing that the Italian might struggle to adapt to the rhythm and style of the Premier League, even if it was Tottenham Hotspur, the most technical side of the Premier League, it turned out that such worries were unnecessary, because Pirlo not only adapted, but adapted well.

The introduction of Pirlo is the result of the team's deliberate thinking for half a year, Ye Qiu has analyzed with the coaching staff, the scouting department and the researchers of the tactical library, and then used the data provided by Mel Seman on the virtual system to simulate, after many considerations, the decision to introduce Pirlo was decided.

After the Italian midfielder came to Tottenham Hotspur, Ye Qiu adjusted the team's midfield to give Pirlo the maximum space to play, and Pirlo also repaid Ye Qiu and Tottenham Hotspur with an outstanding performance.

It turns out that Pirlo is definitely the best signing in the Premier League and even Europe this season, and those who thought Pirlo was no longer good and too old to retire before the season now regret it, and even many AC Milan fans believe that Galliani and Allegri made a deal that lost to their grandmother's family.

AC Milan is currently in third place in the Serie A standings, behind Inter Milan and Juventus, which is also the butterfly effect caused by Ye Qiu's arrival.

Originally, AC Milan should have relied on Ibrahimovic, Robinho and Thiago this season? Players such as Silva continue to go strong, while Juventus rely on Andrea Pirlo and Vidal to complete the revival, but Ibrahimovic and Robinho are at Newcastle, Thiago? Silva, Andrea Pirlo and Vidal are all at Tottenham.

In this case, the strength of AC Milan and Juventus has been greatly affected, but Mourinho's Inter Milan has risen to the top and currently occupies the leading position in Serie A, but the lead is not much, only two points, and there is speculation that Mourinho is likely to return to the Premier League after Inter Milan's title.

Tottenham Hotspur's key match against Manchester United was also scheduled for Saturday night, and on the second day of the game, the Premier League announced that although this game was not the best game of the season, it could even be said to be a dull game, but it still set a record for the highest ratings in the history of the Premier League.

More than 700 million viewers tuned in to watch the match around the world, and a total of 18 broadcasters broadcast it live at White Hart Lane, including world-renowned broadcasters such as ESPN, Sky and Al Jazeera, as well as two domestic TV stations in China, and the Chinese audience also provided strong support in terms of audience distribution.

The Premier League's chief executive, Michael Skudmoore, also mentioned in the release of this statistic that the Premier League is currently the number one league in the world, with a blockbuster game almost every week, and the competition for the title and relegation is very fierce, which has greatly improved the attractiveness of the Premier League in the past few years.

Some analysts believe that from Scudmoore's remarks, it is not difficult to analyze that in addition to further increasing the market appeal and marketing promotion of the Premier League, the next Premier League will also focus on brand promotion.

Just like La Liga, everyone knows that La Liga is the world of the Spanish Super League, and the two derbies of the century every season are the highlights, so La Liga, Real Madrid, Barcelona and other parties have made the national derby a golden sign of La Liga.

This has caused a very interesting phenomenon that the broadcast fees of other teams in La Liga are very bad, and the financial income is also very low, but the broadcast fees of Real Madrid and Barcelona are more than 100 million, and the financial income of the two teams is also very amazing, so that they have enough financial resources and strength to go to the world to scrape stars, not to mention poaching the rising stars of domestic teams.

There is no doubt that Real Madrid and Barcelona both have the advantage of membership, and the background of membership represents that both teams are public property, which allows them to enjoy privileges in many aspects such as taxes, but there are also some restrictions, that is, they cannot make a profit, because profits are subject to heavy taxes.

Therefore, Real Madrid and Barcelona take advantage of the membership system, coupled with a huge membership income base, plus the advantages of broadcast fees, etc., so that both teams are one of the highest-paid football clubs in the world, Real Madrid is currently ranked first, and Barcelona is only behind Real Madrid Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur.

Such a huge income, taxes and other aspects have privileges and advantages, so that Real Madrid and Barcelona can maximize the money invested in reinforcements, because they can't make a profit, once they make a profit, they have to deduct heavy taxes, so many times they even have some outrageous transfer transactions, which involves money laundering.

But in any case, the whale swallowed the talent resources of other teams in La Liga, coupled with the advantage of the membership system, to recruit the world's top stars to the greatest extent, making the Century Derby, where Real Madrid and Barcelona face off twice a year, become two of the most influential golden signs in football.

Today, although the Premier League has the title of the world's first league, and also has top European teams such as Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United, and Chelsea, it is undeniable that the Premier League still lags behind La Liga in the publicity and promotion of some events, especially in brand building.

Scudmore is well aware that the Premier League must launch its own brand as soon as possible, create a top competition brand similar to the Century Derby, and further enhance the influence of the Premier League, but from the current point of view, it is difficult for the Premier League to have the conditions for the Western Super League, for the simple reason that the competition in the Premier League is too fierce.

The current Tottenham Hotspur is indeed a lone show in the Premier League, but there are not many teams that have the ability to challenge Tottenham Hotspur, and it can even be said that there are none, especially in Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Newcastle and West Ham United and other teams Although they rise, it takes a little time to precipitate and accumulate.

At least as things stand, it's hard to see any team that can compete with Tottenham Hotspur anytime soon.

But in the long run, building the Premier League brand is definitely the general trend, so the Premier League also revealed that it will focus on Tottenham Hotspur, after all, this team is currently the most market appeal in the Premier League, and it is also the best and best team on the field.

Seventy-eight games unbeaten are the strongest and powerful proof!

Therefore, the next key promotion of the Premier League is who can become the legendary terminator of Tottenham Hotspur!

…………

…………

Since Roman Abramovic took over Chelsea, the Abu Dhabi consortium took over Manchester City, Reponorev bought West Ham United, the Qatari consortium bought Newcastle, and the Indian Reliance consortium bought Liverpool, and almost the entire Premier League has become the target of a foreign consortium.

With the strong entry of big conglomerates, Aguero, Mata, Yaya? Toure, Hangrande, Ronaldinho and other blockbuster transfer deals that attract the attention of fans around the world and stimulate their nerves, especially in recent years, as more and more superstars join the Premier League, many Premier League fans seem to be becoming more and more numb to superstars.

In the last few years, there have been other things that have been talked about the most: the fall of Manchester United and Arsenal.

Many people feel that the old club business strategy of living within one's means and making a budget is outdated, and now professional football, especially the Premier League, has completely become a money game, and whoever has money is the master.

But as Arsene Wenger said in a previous interview, Tottenham Hotspur is the healthiest and most well-run modern football club right now, and this team is a benchmark that all Premier League teams, and indeed all European teams, should learn from.

In fact, throughout the past decade or so, how many teams have implemented the superstar strategy in European professional football?

The answer is simple, there are two types of teams, Real Madrid and Barcelona, the Spanish Super League giants, and Manchester City, Chelsea and other big conglomerates, and it turns out that Chelsea have also been trapped by superstars such as Shevchenko and Ballack.

All the former business benchmarks, Manchester United is more of a half-finished product, almost never a transfer transaction of more than 30 million euros, and never brings in superstars, the only exception is Veron, but the latter has not played at the level of Manchester United, and whether it is Ferdinand, who has created a benchmark for the value of a central defender, or Cristiano, who has created the transfer value of young players? Ronaldo and others cannot be regarded as superstars.

It is necessary to distinguish clearly, does a high transfer fee not mean that he is a superstar, just like Rio Ferdinand, before joining Manchester United, he was a superstar?

And there are many factors to consider in the high transfer fee, and the salary is the key.

There is another team worth thinking about is Bayern Munich, the Bundesliga hegemon has always believed in careful budgeting, so the introduction of a superstar like Robben paid a transfer fee of 15 million euros, which is good and cheap, and even the high salary is still very cost-effective.

Arsene Wenger has branded Tottenham Hotspur as a model of management, and one of the most important reasons is that Tottenham Hotspur believes in the transfer strategy of selling people at a high price and buying people at a low price, which is exactly the same as the strategy of Manchester United and Bayern Munich, but both teams are limited by some problems that lead to deviations in strategy.

For example, the level of the players brought in, and so on.

If you are a senior fan, you should know that at the beginning of the century, Manchester United's Ryan Giggs, Scholes and Beckham and other players were poached by high salaries from teams including Barcelona and AC Milan.

In fact, this is a strategy of Ferguson, and it is also the business strategy of Manchester United, you can't break the plan of the whole team for the sake of one player, no matter who he is, even Beckham, who is known as Manchester United's money printing machine, can be sold, even at a low price!

What is the reason?

The reason is that if you believe in long-term healthy management, you must control your salary, because the transfer fee is a one-shot deal, but the salary is long-term!

To take the simplest example, when Chelsea wanted to sell Shevchenko and Ballack, why didn't anyone dare to take over?

On the one hand, Shevchenko has entered the end of his career, but more importantly, his salary is too high, except for the local tycoon team, no team can accept such a high salary, so Chelsea can only rot in their hands.

In the same vein, if Real Madrid are going to sell Cristiano now? Ronaldo, it is estimated that there are only a handful of teams that dare to take over, and even local giants such as Manchester City, Newcastle and West Ham United may not dare to do, for the simple reason that his salary is definitely a heavy burden on all teams.

Take Cristiano? Ronaldo's salary and transfer fee can completely introduce three high-level European first-class stars of about 20 million, so is the former more cost-effective and will help the team a lot? Or is the latter more helpful for the overall improvement of the team?

I believe the answer is very obvious, it must be the latter, even if the former can provide a huge brand effect.

Some people may think that the difference between the strength of a superstar and a first-class star is not ordinary.

Yes, that's right, superstars do have strong individual abilities, but what about the downsides?

Real Madrid's biggest problem right now is Cristiano? Ronaldo, he has to play, and he has to play the main team, the team's attack must also revolve around him, without him, Real Madrid's overall strength can definitely go to the next level.

But this player Real Madrid can't sell, because Florentino can't break Real Madrid's tradition of only buying superstars and not selling superstars, which is a significant weakening of Real Madrid's brand value.

Everyone knows that the most important thing in a team is to maintain balance, not only the balance between attack and defense, but more importantly, the balance between the players, which means that you can't rely too much on one player, or directly around a core player.

So the question arises, what to do when this balance of the team no longer exists?

Two options, either the player is gone or the manager is gone!

Ferguson, Ye Qiu and Wenger all believe in the former, because they all know very well that the team has to operate for the long term, and the players are only the short-term interests of the team, and giving up short-term interests for the sake of long-term operation is called foresight.

There is a very vivid example in Ye Qiu's previous life, that is, Barcelona's Pep Guardiola, he chose the latter, the reason is that he has too deep feelings with the player to make a decision, and at the same time, he lacks the courage to sell Messi and other leading stars, even if he finds that Barcelona has become Messi's personal show, so he chooses to leave by himself.

Of course, there are also entanglements of interests between the club's top management, but the real core problem is that Pep Guardiola finds that he can no longer maintain the balance of the team, and he is not determined to sell the team's superstars such as Messi.

The reason why Ye Qiu wanted to sell Messi in the first place was in addition to considering Peter? In addition to Kenyon and others, another reason is that he has to tell everyone that all players, Tottenham Hotspur can't play without anyone, he wants to tell all players, even Messi, I can sell them.

In the end, Messi chose to stay, this is Messi's own choice, and the Argentine knows very well that his stay means that he accepts this balance of the team, he can only be part of the team as a whole, and cannot go beyond the team as a whole, no matter how good and good he is, it can only be like this.

Therefore, even now, Tottenham Hotspur has not seen anything similar to Barcelona's over-reliance on Messi in the previous life.

This is actually the same as when Alex Ferguson sold Beckham.

At that time, Manchester United's golden four midfielders were poached by the outside world, and the players asked for a salary increase, after all, after the team won the treble, the players were all big-name superstars, at this time, Ferguson realized the crisis of the team, so he made a decision to sell Beckham and give all the players a choice.

You have to stay, obey me and obey the team, otherwise I will sell you one by one!

The players themselves have their own considerations, just as Messi is reluctant to go to Manchester City, the players also have to think about their own future, consider the risks and crises brought by the transfer, so Giggs and Scholes chose to stay, and these two players have become the most loyal and obedient players under Ferguson.

Was it an accident? Could it be that Beckham and Roy? Keane's departures, Giggs and Paul Scholes' retirement at Manchester United are just the player's own problems?

Wrong, it's more of a conspiracy by the manager!

It is precisely this kind of balance within the team that has created the stability of the Tottenham Hotspur dressing room and the diversification of the team's tactics, even if Ye Qiu puts Messi on the bench, the Argentines have to obey.

So the day after Ye Qiu played Manchester United, in an interview with Time Magazine in the United States, when asked about the secret of his ability to lead the team to such a long undefeated record, he believes that the most important thing for a manager is to learn to manage, learn to optimize the allocation of various resources of the team, manage the locker room, and let all the players be with you after playing.

And Ye Qiu also became the first football star in football history to appear on the cover of Time Magazine in the United States, and this is also the third time that Ye Qiu has appeared on the cover of Time Magazine in the United States, but the first two times were because of Ye Technology, and this time it was because of football.

So relatively speaking, being able to appear on the cover of Time Magazine this time made Ye Qiu even happier.

As commented by the outside world, this is a breakthrough in the football world, because Ye Qiu used his influence to bring football out of the football circle, as he will appear on the cover of four editions of Time Magazine, including the American edition. There are considerations, just as Messi is reluctant to go to Manchester City, players also have to think about their own future, consider the risks and crises brought by the transfer, so Giggs and Scholes chose to stay, and both players have become the most loyal and obedient players under Ferguson.
