Happy times are short-lived, and just two days after the World Cup, Benjamin said goodbye to Leona and returned to Seattle to get back to work.

"Hey, Ben, is the training camp going well? The new players are still adapting, right? ”

Why did Levy come to the United States, and his face was full of spring, what good things happened?

"Daniel, why are you here? Seems to be in a good mood? ”

"That's right! I just came to the United States to discuss a business, and after the talks, I stopped by to have a look.

Wasn't the sponsorship of the chest of our jersey last season HP? ”

"yes, it looks like the contract was terminated?"

Last season, Tottenham Hotspur jersey was printed with a big HP logo on the chest, which cannot be said to be unsightly, but can only be said to be well-known ugly.

As a result, it has been widely criticized by players and fans, but fortunately, HP did not choose to continue working with Tottenham.

It is said that a large reason for the termination of the cooperation is that HP feels that it has been tricked by Levy.

At that time, they were interested in Bale's influence, who knew that after filming the commercial, the Great Sage patted his ass and went to Real Madrid.

But that's a thing of the past, and Tottenham are on the verge of a new sponsorship.

"Yes, but it just so happened that a Chinese company decided to take over our chest sponsorship for next season.

They charge a lot more than HP! ”

Benjamin said to himself, no wonder you are so happy, someone has come to deliver money again, right?

"Huaguo enterprises?"

No, why do you want to go to the United States to negotiate and sign contracts with Chinese enterprises? Benjamin looked puzzled.

"yes, it just so happened to be HP's competitors, and you led the team to win the double, so they chose us!

However, it is very interesting that they are a Chinese enterprise, and the executives who come to talk about cooperation are completely different from the Chinese people in my impression.

If I didn't say it, I thought it was an American company. ”

Listening to Levi's complaints, Benjamin felt that he should have guessed.

"So, it can't be Lenovo, right?"

"How do you know?"

Levi was taken aback, he would have wanted to hang Benjamin's appetite for a little longer.

"Okay, okay, let's tell you directly, it's Lenovo, they want to expand the European market further, especially if they want to use our influence to sell their products to London.

Can you guess what price they offered? ”

Benjamin shrugged, where could he have guessed.

"Forty-five million pounds a year! A six-year contract, that's 270 million!

All we need to do is put their logo on the chest of the jersey and carry their logo on all the events.

There may still be some promotional activities in collaboration with them, but there is no rush for the time being, and this summer should not be in time.

We will have to wait until next year. ”

"Tut-tut."

This comprador company is really rich, and even if Lenovo continues to suck the blood of China to subsidize British consumers, their recognition here is very limited.

Benjamin was skeptical that they would be able to recoup the sponsorship money in the European market.

Seeing that Benjamin didn't show the shocked expression he was expecting, the bald head was a little frustrated.

"Why aren't you surprised at all? This amount is one of the highest in the entire Premier League. ”

"I don't care about that, Daniel, I just want to know how much of it can be used for transfers?"

"I can't say that, the expansion of the stadium is going to start soon, and that's not a small amount.

And then the medical centers you're trying to build are going to cost you money everywhere.

After winning the championship, the contract renewal of the main players did not go very smoothly, and they all asked for salary increases.

The team's finances are still quite tight! We're all going to have to tighten our belts and get by!

When it comes to spending money, I'm going to have to convince the other top management of the club that it's a headache to think about.

You have to be considerate and considerate of me. ”

The club's largest shareholder is indeed the Lewis family, and there is basically no obstacle to anything as long as Benjamin and Levy agree with it.

Benjamin didn't know what Levy was complaining about here, could it be true that he was expecting me to find someone to force all the top brass to agree to spend a lot of money? It's not a manager's job.

Benjamin never felt like he needed to pay for the team's operations.

Now that he is here, Tottenham can make a breakthrough in terms of results and will never lose money in terms of player trading.

It is impossible for parallel goods to be bought at a high price, and it will definitely be even more common to buy potential stocks at a low price.

If Levitus is not yet able to achieve a virtuous cycle of economic self-sufficiency for Tottenham, then it is really necessary to start doubting the competence of the Jews.

Let's give Levy a headache for these things, Benjamin is not prepared to ask about them for the time being.

If you don't give money, don't give it, anyway, Benjamin was not ready to continue to bring in reinforcements, and let those young players he bought at a low price play if necessary.

But when he heard that the contract renewal was not going well, Benjamin was a little concerned.

"Which players are reluctant to renew their contracts? Do you want me to talk to them? ”

"It's not that they don't want to renew the contract, in fact, their agent wants to fight for a little more salary and bonuses, and you don't need to do this little thing.

By the way, I noticed that the reinforcements seemed to be full of young players and veterans.

We are going to play in the Champions League next season, do you think we need to spend a lot of money on one or two stars to play for? ”

"I don't think so, we won the title last season with a competitive squad that just needed to add a few players from the bench.

If you really want to buy the so-called big names who want high salaries and status as soon as they come, it will affect the unity of the team, but it is not beautiful. ”

Levy was still a little worried, he felt that the Champions League was not as simple as Benjamin thought, but he did not say it.

"Okay, you're professional in these things, you can do it."

To make Levy, who has always liked to meddle in team transfers, say such things, which shows that Benjamin's achievements last season are still very convincing.

"It's all here, don't you go back after watching the two warm-up games?"

"No, the city department asked me to discuss the expansion of White Hart Lane and the leasing of the stadium, and I will fly back to London in the afternoon."

It was also because Benjamin led Tottenham Hotspur to a stunning England double last season, which also made Tottenham's stadium expansion project go quite smoothly.

If nothing else, it will be officially launched and construction will begin before the start of the 14-15 season.

This is also a year ahead of the original situation.

But there is also the problem that Tottenham will have to find a temporary home ground in London by then.

There shouldn't be any big problem, and the City of London will find a way to help Tottenham solve this problem.

Not really, Benjamin thought of the blonde hairless hair he saw at the celebration party, why don't you ask him for help?

Let's not rush and see if Levy can handle it.

After more than a week of devilish training, the Tottenham players gradually adapted to the intensity of training from the beginning to vomiting.

Their physical condition is gradually recovering.

Even Adebayo's body fat is decreasing, and muscles are reappearing.

Every day after training, Benjamin would talk to Leona on the phone.

It is often said that you can't stop for an hour, and today Benjamin shared the chat with Levy with the girl.

"Why don't you speak?"

After Benjamin and Leona spoke about Tottenham finding a new sponsor, there was silence on the other end of the phone.

"Huh? Oh nothing, don't you guys have a car brand sponsorship yet? ”

"Like, what's wrong?"

"I didn't ...... It's nothing. ”

The girl decided to give Benjamin a "small gift", and now the words that come out are not interesting.

On 19 July 2014, Tottenham played their first warm-up game before the start of the new season.

They will face the Seattle Sounders of Major League Soccer away from home.

Before the start of the game, "Captain America" Dempsey, who had played for Tottenham, came over to greet his old teammates.

Although he only played for Tottenham for one season, Dempsey was loved by the fans with his performances on the pitch.

Goodbye is already an opponent, and Dempsey will start for the Seattle Sounders today.

Brazilian goalkeeper Alisson, two new additions Akanji and Harry Maguire partnered in central defence, with Townsend starting in place of Lamela and Frank Lampard also given a start.

The rest of the positions are still the same as last season's main players.
