528 The most wounded people

"Damn it, shit. I can't do that. ”

The World Cup is about to start and all eyes are on Germany. FIFA, UEFA, major clubs, major league teams, no matter what problems they had before, now everyone's eyes are on Germany. Because the World Cup is the most important event, there is no World Cup year that can compare with the World Cup.

Even the Italian "phone gate" that caused a sensation in world football, and the big thing like the choice of the UEFA president, are not as good as the World Cup at present. The World Cup is everything, and everyone's focus is on the World Cup.

But in London, on Tottenham's side in north London, it's bleak. Tottenham have had a good run of results in the past two years, and this season Tottenham are once again in the top four, and they are beating their arch-rivals Arsenal to enter the top four. At first Tottenham were very happy because Tottenham had never won against Arsenal in the league table since 1995. It was the first time in 11 years that they had overtaken Arsenal in the table. In addition, this season Tottenham is the second time in more than 40 years that Tottenham have entered the Champions League, and each of them has been a record-breaking year.

Unfortunately, their excitement lasted less than half a month. Because Arsenal won the Champions League by defeating Barcelona in the Champions League final. Because Liverpool did not get a Champions League place in the league last season, but because they won the Champions League, they got five places in the Premier League. In order to prevent this from happening again, European football has made a rule that once this happens again, the Champions League winner will get the Champions League place, and the fourth-place team will have to play in the UEFA Cup.

Tottenham are tragic. They have been doing well in the league this season. It's also very good in the Champions League. It's a pity that because Arsenal won the Champions League in the end, the Champions League places they got flew away. This makes Daniel. How could Levy not be angry, after all, the one he lost was a Champions League place, and it was still snatched away by his sworn rival Arsenal, which is even more of a shame.

Of course, they can only admit that they are unlucky in this matter. But then something happened that made Daniel. Levy thundered. Damn Chelsea turned out to be poaching Tottenham's sporting director, Frank. Arneson.

The club outside is eyeing Arneson with Daniel. Levy is also very dependent on Arneson. And Daniel. Levy believes that he has not treated Arneson badly, with a high salary and power, and almost Arneson can do whatever he wants at Tottenham. In the field of sport, Arneson is the emperor of Tottenham, and even the Tottenham manager can decide whether Arneson will stay or not. That's how he even changed jobs.

"Daniel. Let off steam. ”

Rist smiled and persuaded Daniel. Levy. Daniel. Levy was a highly educated Jew. Usually the most concerned is about their own behavior, always to show their aristocratic demeanor. But one blow after another, he has forgotten to maintain his demeanor.

"Lister, tell me how I can get rid of my anger. Frank went too far. What has we done to Tottenham to him? ”

Daniel. Levy blamed Arneson without grace. Tottenham earned more than £30 million in the Champions League this season. Plus invisible income and influence. A trip to the Champions League earns more than £50 million. But it's such a big gold mine, and it's gone next season. Daniel, who was already angry. Levy gritted his teeth at Arneson's departure.

Daniel. Levy understands that Tottenham have been able to do so well in two seasons. The biggest credit goes to Arneson. Arneson himself has managed Tottenham's athletic department in such an orderly manner that nothing else has ever arisen. And since Arneson took charge of Tottenham transfers, Tottenham's transfers have been one stroke at a time. It is precisely because Arneson is very capable that Daniel. Levy was even angrier. If it's a cat or a dog, he won't care if he runs a few times.

'Daniel, Frank left Tottenham for a simple reason. Chelsea pay more and give a bigger stage. You'd better calm down and see what to do next. ”

Chelsea's Roman Abramovich is a real rich man. When he poached Arneson, he directly gave Tottenham six million pounds in compensation. It's like poaching players.

"Higher salaries? How high can it be. ”

In fact, Arneson's salary at Tottenham is already very high, and Arneson's salary is very high among club executives in the Premier League and even European football.

"With an annual salary of £3.5 million, and a number of other bonuses, it is estimated that you will receive more than £4 million a year from the club. There is no one at the top of a club in world football who can match Frank's income. He also has full charge of Chelsea's Academy and is also able to participate in Chelsea transfers. You can also see the current momentum of Chelsea, which is two consecutive Premier League titles. It is normal for people to go to high places and the water to flow low. ”

"Damn nouveau riche."

Daniel. Levy couldn't help but curse when he heard Arneson's salary at Chelsea. Three and a half million pounds, how many people in the current Premier League can get such a high salary. Even among the few strong teams in the Premier League, few of those managers and stars can get such high salaries.

"Rist, what should you do?"

Daniel. Levy have had an easy few seasons. Because he only cares about the business side of the club. The athletic side of things was completely left to Arneson, and Arneson did a very good job. But now all of a sudden Arneson has left Tottenham, which has left Daniel Hotspur. Levy was a little caught off guard. It's still a little unaccustomed to letting him suddenly take over the competitive aspect.

"It's simple. Look at what other Premier League clubs are doing and you can just follow their example. Hasn't Coach Redknapp been doing well in recent years? Anyway, in the Premier League, the manager has a lot of power, so why don't you hand over the athletic department to him. Redknapp has a lot of connections in English football and should be a good fit. ”

"No, I can't. This is absolutely not a no-go. ”

Daniel. Levy immediately shook his head. Daniel. Levy can believe everything, but he just doesn't trust the manager. Because since the early nineties of the last century, the owner of Tottenham has been constantly tug-of-war with the manager, and has been deceived by the club's manager several times. This makes Daniel. Levy is afraid to amplify the power to the head coach.

"Lister, you should know how my predecessor and I were deceived by the manager when I started as president of the club."

Rist smiled "hehe", this is really the so-called snake bite for ten years afraid of the well rope. But Rist can understand Daniel. Levy's thoughts. And it's precisely because Redknapp is well-connected that Daniel. Levy was even more afraid. Tottenham's manager in the nineties bullied the layman Tottenham chairman several times, which one is not a well-connected manager like Redknapp. Such a head coach's interpersonal relationship is too complicated, Daniel . Levy was the least convinced.

"Daniel, let's just say that. In the competitive world, professional managers are far better than you laymen. If you don't trust the manager, then how can the manager play to their ability? If you're not worried about the manager, you can split the athletic department. The head coach proposes a list of signings, while the transfer department is in charge of negotiating. You don't give the manager the right to bring in direct reinforcements, so you don't have the right to control the manager. ”

At the moment, it's not so easy to find a club manager as good as Arneson. Otherwise, Arneson would not have been paid such a high salary. It is precisely because of the scarcity of knowledgeable high-level executives like Arneson that Daniel. Levy couldn't find such a figure in a short period of time.

"Yes, that's right. I'm in charge of the transfer department. ”

Daniel. Levy didn't trust the manager and was therefore in charge of the transfer department himself, and Rist was quick to see results. Daniel. Levy is a businessman who likes to be careful when it comes to buying and selling transfers, and he does sell for a high price. But he is not a football man after all, and he is not at all comparable to Arneson in the construction of the team.

It didn't take long for him to take charge of the transfer department when Rist saw his first transfer. It was the transfer of Tottenham players, with Tottenham midfielder and West Ham Academy graduate Michael Carrick moving to Manchester United for £18 million. Carrick was a West Ham academy graduate and gradually became a regular for Tottenham after coming to Tottenham. Carrick has been at the heart of Tottenham's midfield this season and has been doing very well for Tottenham. Coupled with the fact that he is a homegrown player, he is worth 18 million pounds.

But it's not over, and Ferguson's signing from Tottenham isn't over at all. After bringing in Carrick, United continued to bring in Tottenham players. This time it was Tottenham's left-back Patrice Evra, who has been in fine form for Tottenham this season. In the current Premier League, he is one of the best left-backs, especially Ashley. With Cole's performances declining due to falling out with Arsenal, Patrice Evra is currently the best left-back in the Premier League. It's Redknapp's favorite general.

Manchester United are lacking a good left-back, and in fact, United have not had a truly world-class left-back in recent years. So Ferguson set his sights on Tottenham's left-back. In the past, when Arneson was there, Arneson also sold players. But Arneson is a very smart person, some can sell, some can't. He knew that. But Daniel. Levy only has money in his eyes, only expensive and cheap.

So soon Tottenham and Manchester United reached an agreement again, acquiring Tottenham's left-back Patrice Evra for 11 million pounds. In other words, within less than ten days of Arneson's departure, Tottenham sold two absolute main players and got a transfer fee of nearly 30 million pounds.

Sell it, sell it. Tottenham sold players before they could continue to bring in reinforcements. Only with reinforcements can Riester be beneficial. Rist wants to see who Tottenham can sell, keep selling, keep selling. It's best to drop a lot of results this season, and then you'll definitely be more on your own. What if Arneson is gone?
