Chapter 20: New Reinforcements Arrive
Levy also thought that Benjamin was looking for him to urge funding for Tottenham's sports medicine and rehabilitation centre.
"Oh, I see, but I didn't look for you for this.
Well, my aunt recommended me a chef who cooks Chinese food.
I think it would be nice if the players could enjoy this kind of food in the club's restaurant after training hard and playing. ”
"A cook, huh? Okay, I see, you give his contact information to my assistant and let him take care of this. ”
Levi was just an ordinary cook, and he didn't ask how much it might cost, so he agreed.
Plan to pass!
Benjamin hung up the phone with a smug smile and a yes to Vivian.
"Ben, you're almost done, don't keep bullying other people's honest Daniel, how bad."
"I see, let's not take it as an example."
Is Levi an honest man? Benjamin couldn't help but roll his eyes in his heart.
"Okay, okay, knowing that you are busy with work, go back to rest when you are full of food and drink, and my aunt will not keep you."
Not only did he enjoy a delicious Chinese meal, but he also didn't have to hire a chef to solve the next three meals without having to pay a penny, and Benjamin was satisfied.
The joy of being able to eat authentic Chinese food every day in the future is no less than winning away at Manchester United.
……
Daily Mail: "Goals from Harry Kane and Christian Eriksen put an end to David Moyes' revival.
Manchester United suffered their fourth home defeat of the season and slipped to seventh in the table.
Benjamin, who replaced Villas-Boas, reinvented Tottenham, while United looked helpless against Tottenham's counter-attack. ”
Sky Sports: "Manchester United's sixth defeat of the season comes on the first day of the new year and they are as many as eleven points behind leaders Arsenal.
Despite Welbeck's brilliant goal, poor defending ruined the home side's expected victory. ”
It was clear that the winner was Benjamin, but the media still focused more on Manchester United.
The next day, in the major media, I saw a lot of news about Manchester United.
For Tottenham, there are at most two sentences in passing, and only the young and handsome manager Benjamin Lewis and the England youngster Harry Kane, who scored twice, have received some attention.
This made Benjamin feel a lot of emotion, is this the influence of the giants? Tottenham still have a long way to go.
That being said, the benefits of a three-game winning streak quickly became apparent.
The first is that there is hardly a hint of questioning Benjamin being heard inside and outside the team.
The successive victories have suppressed some problems in the team.
The second is that the transfer is going well.
With all four transfer targets successfully signed, Alisson will be loaned back to Inter Brazil until the end of the season.
The other three signings will all join Tottenham in this transfer window.
Alderweireld couldn't wait, he was the first to arrive in London, and he just had to wait for the medical examination to be officially announced.
Someone comes and someone goes, and Defoe confirmed that he will join Canadian side Toronto FC for 9.2 million euros.
The transfer fee and signing fee offered by the other party are very generous, and Tottenham and Defoe are very satisfied.
The dust has also settled on Lennon's move to Everton, with the Toffees opting for a rent-to-own deal.
The Englishman joined Everton on loan for £1 million for the remaining half of the season, with a mandatory buyout in the summer transfer window, with Everton paying a further £8.5 million.
The total price is close to 10 million pounds, and the director of the team, Bardini, is credited to being able to sell Lennon for this price.
These two deals alone have almost earned back the cost of four signings, and Tottenham has not lost anything.
It's not that the other substitutes don't want to go, it's that they don't do it so easily.
Even if they want to leave, they have to have a team that is willing to ask for it, and they can afford a transfer fee that Tottenham can accept.
With the addition of Sadio Mane and N'Golo Kante, Benjamin suddenly has a little more confidence in his team.
Tottenham officials also held a press conference for several new signings, and except for Alisson, who was far away in Brazil, the other three players have already put on the white Tottenham home shirt with a smile on their faces.
No Tottenham fan could believe that their home side had signed four players in quick succession in the days leading up to the opening of the winter transfer window.
Although only one of the Belgian centre-backs, Alderweireld, came from the top five leagues, supporters of the north London side were pleasantly surprised to see the change.
In the past, when Levy was in charge of transfer negotiations, Jews would often struggle with tens of thousands of dollars and delay the transfer until the last day of the transfer period.
Sometimes it even drags the deal out because of this.
It's really rare to see such a neat and tidy recruitment as this year.
"Of course! I bought them to play the main force, and it may take a while to get used to it, but I believe in their strength!
Tactics? Maybe it will change, maybe it won't change, you'll know when the time comes.
Will there be any reinforcements? It depends on the transfer department of the team and I'm happy with the squad at the moment. ”
Benjamin answered one question after another, and he became more and more comfortable with such scenes.
'We learned that neither N'Golo Kante nor Sadio Mane spoke English, would that be a problem?'
"The club has already helped them find an English tutor, and I believe they will soon be able to communicate with everyone in English.
And I speak French, and French-speaking players like Lloris in the team help them settle in.
I guess that's not a problem. ”
"Mr. Lewis, some people say that Lennon was forced away by you, what do you think of this statement?"
Yes, this can't be avoided, and the people who are looking for trouble are still coming.
The British media is eager to make a big news every day because of this virtue, and if there is no news, they will make up a hard news.
Benjamin's face did not change and he glanced at the other party.
North London Football Newspaper? What kind of unscrupulous tabloid is this?
glanced at Tottenham's press officer, don't put this kind of goods in next time.
"I don't know who you're listening to? You can ask the players and staff and see what they say.
I have a lot of respect for Allen's dedication over the years at Tottenham, but the truth is that he didn't execute my tactics very well.
For this reason, he decided to leave, and the club did not make any obstacles, so it should be a peaceful breakup. ”
"But the news I got ......"
"Everyone only has one chance to ask questions, and you're a little too greedy for this journalist friend."
Benjamin unceremoniously interrupted, and Tottenham's press officer quickly clicked on the next reporter to ask a question.
'When will we see these new signings playing for Tottenham?'
Finally back to the normal question, the smile on Benjamin's face was a little more sincere.
'That's a good question, but I probably can't give an exact answer because it depends on their form and how quickly they integrate into the team.
Like everyone else, I'm looking forward to seeing them play for the Lily Legion soon! ”
