Chapter 734: Choose One of the Two
Ye Qiu's goal for Tottenham Hotspur has not changed, which is to build the north London team into a top team with sustainable development.
Around this goal, Ye Qiu has done a lot of things, such as doing his best, even selling superstars every year to maintain the team's healthy finances, such as investing heavily in the purchase of a number of real estate development projects in the past few years, and increasing efforts to support the team's commercial development and youth echelon construction.
Tottenham Hotspur's scouting network is one of the best in football today, and with the support of Moon Sports Services' vast database, Tottenham Hotspur's scouting network has access to the latest talent anytime, anywhere, with a focus on the team's biannual Talent Day selection campaign.
But there's clearly more to scouting than that, scouting and analysing opponents for the next match, providing follow-up reports and analysis of players on loan or out on loan.
But in the past few years, because Ye Qiu itself has the advantage of being a traverser, the scouting department is more about scouting the players provided by Ye Qiu, rather than looking for players according to the needs of the first team, but in the youth team, the scouting department has provided a lot of support to ensure the results and talent pool of the Tottenham Hotspur youth team.
Ye Qiu knew very well that his advantage as a traverser would disappear, so the scouting department had to return to the right track, so this time the team was looking for a right-back candidate, and he handed it over to Peter? De Visser went to take full responsibility.
For this right-back, Ye Qiu's requirements are also very simple, he has enough ability to establish himself in the first team, and can enrich the team's tactical characteristics, such as Kele? Walker is fast and impactful, and Ye Qiu hopes that the English can contribute more on the offensive end, so Ye Qiu hopes to bring in a player with better defensive ability.
Of course, Ye Qiu also attaches great importance to the age of the player, he believes that the maximum age of twenty-five cannot exceed this limit, which is also a standard for Tottenham Hotspur in the past few years, as for those veterans, they are basically introduced on free transfers.
Ye Qiu's various restrictions seem to be very harsh and demanding, but in fact, the real difficulty lies in whether this player has solid technical skills and can integrate into Tottenham Hotspur's overall tactics, which is the key.
Peter? After hearing that Ye Qiu had returned to London, De Visser knew that Ye Qiu would definitely want to get the result, so he compiled a report on the candidates submitted by the scouts, as well as the list of players he had personally searched for and finalized.
In fact, on the afternoon of the first day Ye Qiu returned to London, he made an appointment to meet Peter in Theobald? Devisel.
"You look tired, and your face doesn't look good!" Peter? De Visser looked at Ye Qiu, who was sitting behind his desk, he was on the plane to London in the morning, then went to Stratford Stadium, then to White Hart Lane Stadium, and now to Theorebald, it would be a lie to say that he was not tired.
"What? Is your report unsightly? Ye Qiu took the report he handed over and joked.
Devisel sat down across from him and smiled, "Oh, I didn't put that Desiglio you were talking about, he's too young and inexperienced, and it's hard to give enough support to the team in the new season. ”
Ye Qiu also accepted this, nodded and smiled, and didn't say anything, he just watched an AC Milan game in the UEFA Youth Champions League, and he had a good impression of De Silio, but as De Visser said, now Tottenham Hotspur needs bench thickness, not future rookies.
Let AC Milan do the work of nurturing young people!
Flip through Peter? In this scouting report from Devisel, Ye Qiu noticed that the first place in the list was Everton's substitute Seams? Coleman, the Irish right-sided player, is very versatile, can attack and defend, has good speed, and the most notable feature is his aggressive running, his running ability is quite good.
The 23-year-old joined Everton for £150,000 in January 2009 but underwent surgery before playing before he could play and was sent on loan to Blackpool.
After returning to Everton for the 10/11 season, he earned David Moyes' trust, took a regular place and performed well, finishing the season with a nomination for the English Professional Football Association Young Player of the Year, but was ultimately defeated by Arsenal's talented rookie Jack? Wilshere.
Coleman, who had high hopes from the outside world, was injured by Marchena in the warm-up match against Villarreal before the start of the 11/12 season, was out for six weeks, and was sidelined for a month midway through the season with a thigh muscle strain, resulting in him being fragmented throughout the season and not playing at the best expected form.
But in Peter? In Devisel's evaluation, Seams? Does Coleman have what it takes to establish himself in Tottenham Hotspur's first team, or even with Kyle? Walker is competing for a player in the main position, and Everton are not planning to let go of the right-back right now, as he is not worth much.
After a season of injuries and poor performances, Coleman may not consider a transfer now, especially to a big team like Tottenham Hotspur, after all, his most pragmatic attitude now is to find his form steadily at Everton, as for joining Tottenham Hotspur, it will definitely be a matter of the future.
In second place is the 21-year-old right-back Montoya from the Barcelona Academy in La Liga, which is also a very promising young rookie, from La Masia, and now Barcelona wants to bring in Alves, but there are many Barcelona diehards who believe that they should focus on supporting Montoya, which shows the potential of this player.
Montoya is Barcelona's key hopeful, loyal to Barcelona, and it is difficult to poach him, but if the team considers selling Alba to Barcelona, it is not impossible to let Montoya become Alba's head, and Barcelona's right-back is still the main force of the Spanish Olympic team and will participate in the London Olympics.
There is also a Spanish player, Cavajal of Castilla from Real Madrid, twenty years old, currently playing for Castile of Real Madrid's youth team, who performed well last season, and the transfer value will increase, which should be around five million, but he is also a player who is very good both offensively and defensively.
"People dig our first team, we go to dig other people's youth team, and it's hard to train it, and in a blink of an eye, it is estimated that someone will have to dig it back, and we will become someone else's training factory!" Ye Qiu said with a wry smile, these are two players in a row.
Peter? De Visser also smiled after hearing this, "From the current point of view, we have to admit that Spain is indeed very good in the youth training of players, and they are not only some players in terms of creativity and agility, but also defensive players. ”
At this point, Devisel pointed to the next page, "You look down further. ”
Cesar Azpilicueta, 22 years old, the main right-back of the French Ligue 1 team Marseille, from Osasuna, has Basque blood in northern Spain, once a superstar of La Liga, suffered a serious injury in his first season in Ligue 1, but last season he performed very well in Ligue 1, quite an eye-catching young player.
It is reported that Chelsea have been interested in the player since January, when Di Matteo also pushed for the introduction of the right-back, but then the time was shorted and suspended, and in the summer, Chelsea's right-back selection is mainly on Alves and a few other players, and has not yet fallen on Azpilicueta.
The last one is the nineteen-year-old right-back Keno from Sarsfield, Argentina? Peruzzi, who has a high call for being selected for the Argentine national team, is known as Zanetti's successor, and it can be seen that he has performed quite well in the Argentine league, has dual Italian nationality, and his labor certification is not a problem, and his worth is about three million euros.
Gino? Peruzzi's shortcomings are also obvious, that is, he is young, lacks experience in the European league, and whether he can adapt to the Premier League is a big question, so the player is ranked last by Devisel.
"Tell me your advice, Peter!" Ye Qiu closed the scouting report with a smile and asked.
If he remembers correctly, Coleman did go on to be quite good, and some even said he was one of the top right-backs in the Premier League, while Montoya always played as a substitute for Alves at Barcelona, Carvajal was loaned to Bayer Leverkusen and performed very well, while Cesar Azpilicueta switched to Chelsea, quickly established himself and performed well.
As for Keno? Peruzzi, this talented right-back is indeed very favored, Ye Qiu still remembers that he was highly rated in FM football managers, and later transferred to Catania in Serie A, and his performance was also very good.
From this point of view, Peter? Devisel's scouting report is indeed full of gold, and the players who can appear in it are basically no problem in terms of strength, even if it is Montoya, but there are some problems that scouts can't take into account, that is, adaptability.
"I know you don't like Carvajal and Montoya, or could you consider Newcastle's Davide? Thornton, he's still young, and I think there's a lot of potential, Keno? Peruzzi is also a young type with potential, and I think the Argentine has the potential to be a top player at right-back in the future. ”
'Coleman and Cesar Azpilicueta are both good players and they have proven themselves in the Premier League and Ligue 1, so I think they have no problem adapting to the team, but they are definitely worth a lot of money, and Cesar Azpilicueta is a substitute for Montoya in the Spanish Olympic team.
According to preliminary estimates, Coleman is worth around 10 million euros, while Cesar Azpilicueta is worth more than 6 million euros. Peruzzi's two or three million euros is twice as high.
Ye Qiu thought about it, the team will have to deal with more games in the new season, relying solely on Kyle? Walker alone is not enough, even with one more Phil? Jones, although the latter is a versatile player, is used to playing in midfield after all, so it is necessary to bring in another good right-back.
'Coleman and Cesar Azpilicueta, I'll have people talk to Everton and Marseille, and what do you think of Keno? Is Peruzzi really good? Ye Qiu asked with concern, in fact, this question is a bit redundant, can the player who can be called Zanetti's successor perform badly?
"Peruzzi is a player who has a lot of movement, a lot of input, a lot of courage, you know, the young players are very brave, they are very good defensively, they are in a stable state, they are a precocious player, but he doesn't rely on his body to play, so I think he has a lot of potential to continue to improve."
Some players are precocious in the body, such as Chelsea's talented rookie Michael? Woods, he is favored by countless people, but playing football relies more on the body, so after performing well early, the older he gets, the more mediocre he becomes, but those players who rely more on technology, when they are young, they have no physical advantage, they are worse, and when they grow up, their physical fitness has improved, and their performance has also risen.
Gino? Peruzzi can be so valued by Devisel, and his strength and potential will not be too bad.
"You want to buy it and rent it out?" Devisel sometimes feels that Ye Qiu is indeed a pedophile.
"How's Ajax doing?" Ye Qiu asked with a smile.
Ajax's right-back problem has been a weakness since selling Van der Wiel, and they had previously wanted to sign Chambers on loan, but Ye Qiu sent the Englishman to the Saints. Peruzzi won and went on loan to Ajax for a few years, and maybe there is a possibility of returning to Tottenham Hotspur in the future.
And even if it fails, three million euros, Tottenham Hotspur can still afford it.
This is also the real idea of all big teams to bring in young players, that is, as a reserve for the future, success is naturally the best, and there is not much pressure on the team to fail.
"The Argentines hardly play in the Dutch league, they are more in Italy or Spain!" Devisel laughs and says it has to take into account a question of life adaptability.
"If I'm not mistaken, Feyenoord's high school striker Crews and now Argentina's international Romero are both from the Dutch league!" Ye Qiu retorted with a smile.
Deviser smiled when he heard this, "Then I'll get in touch with Ajax, and then find out what Sarsfield is talking about." ”
In terms of players, there is not much of a problem, because the current Tottenham Hotspur is already a team that all players dream of joining, so Ye Qiu believes that if Tottenham Hotspur wants to bring in Keno? Peruzzi's words, the players will not be an obstacle.
"Go ahead and do it!"
With De Visser's departure, Ye Qiu gave Peter on the White Hart Lane Stadium again? Kenyon made a phone call and asked him to contact Everton first, would he still prefer to bring in Seams? Coleman, after all, this player has accumulated a wealth of Premier League experience, and there is no problem with the adaptability of Tottenham Hotspur, which can be regarded as the most guaranteed signing.
Just after Ye Qiu finished making the call, he looked out of his window and happened to see Roland driving to the parking lot of the first team's training building, and out of the car were Drogba and Nesta, who joined this summer.
Ye Qiu smiled, turned around and cleaned up the things on his desk, left the office, and went downstairs.
If Ye Qiu was a fan in his previous life, his favorite striker was Ronaldo, then his favorite among the defenders was Nesta, even if he had to admit that Ferdinand had the perfect body as a central defender, but Nesta had the defensive skills and awareness that you have to praise.
Before deciding to bring in Nesta, Ye Qiu had communicated with Mel Seman and Demichelis of the research center, asking them some thoughts on Nesta's frequent injuries, and they believed that with the current level of Tottenham Hotspur Research Center, the possibility of returning Nesta to peak form is zero, but it is still possible to make him a stable third central defender in the team.
It was for this sentence that Ye Qiu introduced Nesta because of the team's data needs, so he finally came forward in person and invited Nesta to Tottenham Hotspur to play, coupled with the persuasion of his friend Pirlo, Nesta finally decided to come to Tottenham Hotspur to try.
For the 36-year-old Nesta, this is already semi-retired, so he seems more desireless, has no requirements for salary and contract years, and is more likely to consider learning at Tottenham Hotspur and how to transform into a good manager.
After Ye Qiu went downstairs, he found that Roland had already left the locker room with the two of them and went to the practice room next door, so he also went straight to the practice room.
As soon as he arrived at the door, he heard the movement made by the machine starting from inside, and after walking in, Ye Qiu found that it was Drogba who was feeling some of the new things that had been famous for a long time, but had never been tried before, and the Ivorian took off his clothes, revealing a body of strong muscles.
Despite his age, the kid has maintained good physical fitness, and Drogba has stopped just relying on his body in recent years, and his awareness and foot skills are also quite good, which can be regarded as a center forward with a very successful transformation.
In the past, many fans thought that Drogba's skills were very rough, which is a wrong consciousness, because to be able to become a professional player, the skills are quite good, the key is whether there is training in this area at ordinary times, practice makes perfect, this is the truth on the football field.
Drogba catches the ball with one foot and throws the ball out with one foot in the practice room, and the speed of running in the middle and upper, the speed of taking the ball out of the ball, and it is very steady.
Ye Qiu couldn't help nodding outside, many people just didn't realize that the time for transformation was wrong, or they didn't realize that they should transform, so that at the end of his career, his overall level also declined rapidly.
Drogba looks like a big black man on the surface, but in fact he is very careful, he is also very smart, and the timing of the transformation is well grasped, plus he has a strong learning ability, so the transformation is very successful.
Ye Qiu believes that he will definitely be able to become an important member of the team's forward line in the new season. It was he who also went straight to the practice room.
