Chapter 27 Invitation from the Premier League

Chapter 27 Invitation from the Premier League

Because training will continue tomorrow, after having dinner together, Digan and Park Zhiyan drove back to Barcelona from Madrid. During this journey, neither of them spoke, and Park Zhiyan was thinking about what to do to make Digan The family accepts her, but Degan thinks about himself and Kaka's future.

As soon as he got home, Digan received a call from Zahavi before he had time to change his shoes. During the most difficult time of Digan in the past two years, Zahavi, a year-end friend, was always by his side, handling some personal affairs for him. Almost became his assistant. At the end of this season, Zahavi was busy contacting Digan again. For nearly a month, Zahavi was almost all over Europe.

As for Degan's former agent, Mendes, whenever he had the opportunity, he expressed his regret for Degan with a tone of hatred, but those words sounded like irony and sarcasm.

It seems that the reason why Degan is today is entirely because he was blind and dismissed him as the trump manager.

"Elan! It's so late, I hope you can bring me some good news!" Digan walked into the living room barefoot with a smile, and Pu Zhiyan chased after him, complaining, and helping him put on his slippers.

Zahavi laughed: "Of course, I think you have heard enough bad news during this time!"

Digan lay on the sofa in the living room and said with a smile, "Speak, I'm listening!"

Zahavi was silent for a while before saying: "I don't know if this is good news, Rhodes! There is a team that is very interested in you, but there is a premise that they can't bear your huge amount of 17 million euros annual salary!"

Degan didn't care much about the annual salary: "Okay! Tell me, my request is actually very simple, the Champions League! As long as you can participate in the Champions League!"

Degan's next family must be able to participate in the Champions League. Only in this way can he complete his revenge against Barcelona. This is a prerequisite.

Zahavi smiled and said: "Of course, this team is very lucky. They had almost no hope at first, but in the last round of the league, their competitors had a little trouble!"

Degan was taken aback, he had vaguely guessed which club Zahavi was talking about: "The Premier League team!"

Zahavi said: "Yes! Continue! See if you can guess it!"

Digan said helplessly: "I see, it's Tottenham Hotspur! Right?"

Zahavi smiled: "That's right! Rhodes! It's this team, but their fame and status seem to be out of line with your identity!"

Digan laughed twice: "Elan! Are you mocking me by saying that? Status? After I sat on the bench in Barcelona for two years, do you think I still have any status?"

As Degan said, he was also thinking about the pros and cons of joining Tottenham Hotspur, compared with the traditional top four in the Premier League, Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea, and Manchester City, which has risen in recent seasons. In contrast, Tottenham Hotspur can only be regarded as the Premier League's reserve power at best.

But p>However, in recent seasons, because of the rise of Bale, the rebirth of van der Vaart, and the wonderful reversal of Tottenham one after another, many people have begun to pay attention to Tottenham, and Digan is no exception. Of course, he initially paid attention to Tottenham only because their nickname is somewhat similar to that of Fiorentina he used to play for. Fiorentina is Viola, and Tottenham is White Lily.

Tottenham Hotspur, founded in 1882, is located at the White Hart Lane Stadium in Tottenham, North London. Because the traditional home jersey is white, Tottenham fans are called "White Lily".

Deegan also likes the team's motto "Dare to be bold."

This aspect is very similar to Digan's character.

Although the historical record is not as good as that of rival Arsenal, Tottenham is also a traditional strong team born and bred in North London. It's all about attacking football.

Tottenham fans have long formed a belief: Tottenham football is offensive football.

Any championships won by relying on defensive football, in the eyes of Tottenham fans, everything is just a cloud. The local Tottenham fans in London need the team to do, first of all, exciting scenes, and secondly, the championship trophy.

Because of this, in London, England, even though there are more than a dozen football clubs in London, there are five in the Premier League alone. The arch rival Arsenal even suppressed the team in terms of performance, but in London, it has the largest number of fans. It's still Tottenham Hotspur.

All this is because the Tottenham team has been playing the most pleasing football in the city of London for a century, and is the only representative of offensive football in the London area.

As for Arsenal, it was only after the French professor Arsene Wenger took over that he slowly became a technical stream label, and the Arsenal before Arsene Wenger was ridiculed by the locals as "Stupid Arsenal" and "1:0ism". .

In the history of this team, there have been many famous players who have left wonderful performances here, Klinsmann, Gascoigne, Lineker, Ginola, these four Tottenham team history The most famous players in the world each have a large fan base.

Personally speaking, the star who best represents Tottenham's style must be Gascoigne, a purely skilled player who has never been seen before in English football. He is a bad kid on the court who combines fiery temper, rebellious personality and extraordinary skills. , the most regrettable player among the players that Ferguson thought he missed in his life.

"Golden Bomber" Klinsmann, entered and exited White Hart Lane twice, saved the team from fire and water, the Klinsmann-style lion head shake in the relegation battle, leading his teammates to fly to the corner flag to celebrate the goal* * The picture has become a classic picture in English football.

Lineker, England's only World Cup golden boot, in the classic match between England and Argentina in the 1986 World Cup, people remember Maradona's "Hand of God" and the best goal of the World Cup after a long journey, The goal scored by Lineker was more dejected.

Ginola, many Premier League fans are still talking about it. If Tottenham's performance at that time was better, if football at that time also paid attention to commercial packaging, maybe Beckham would not be the handsome Beckham now. Talk about the masculinity of men , the flowing long hair on the court, the extraordinary temperament off the court, Ginola completely exposed Beckham.

There was a great moment in the history of Tottenham Hotspur, known as the glory days. The sign of this era was the appointment of Nicholson as the head coach of Tottenham. On the day he was appointed as the head coach of Tottenham In the afternoon, Nicholson beat visiting Everton 10:4 at White Hart Lane in his first game in charge.

Two years later, Tottenham won the club's first double crown in the 20th century in the 60/61 season, including the League One championship trophy and the FA Cup.

Tottenham dominated the competition that season, winning 11 straight league games and scoring 115 goals in 42 appearances. The following year, they won the FA Cup again and narrowly missed the Champions League final, where they finished in the semi-finals. Lost to Benfica.

In the 62/63 season, Tottenham became the first English club to win the three major European cups. On May 15, 1963 in Rotterdam, Tottenham defeated Atletico Madrid 5:1 and won the European Cup Winners' Cup.

However, after a short period of glory, Tottenham quickly sank, and it was not until the last few seasons that they slowly got on the right track, and the team's personnel structure gradually stabilized.

And also in the 2010/2011 season, it broke the traditional pattern of the four giants occupying the top four seats, especially at the end of that season, they beheaded Arsenal and Chelsea consecutively, and won the away game against their direct rival Manchester City. Four Champions League seats.

With the Portuguese Villas-Boas coming to the team, Tottenham's style of play has become more and more mature. Last season, Tottenham can be said to be the most successful team in the Premier League. Many people outflank and grab points, which is very similar to Ferguson's Manchester United team.

Compared with Manchester United, Tottenham pays more attention to offense. Tottenham's starting midfielder has only one midfielder who is responsible for protecting the backcourt, not Fletcher and Carrick like Manchester United. Tottenham's central team is more inclined to the rear The technical flow of the waist, Modric and Heddlestone, even under such circumstances, the two full-backs of Tottenham are still frequently pressing for assists, there is no way, the fans like to watch such games.

Therefore, Tottenham's game scenes often give people the impression of lack of stability. The top of the arc in the defensive penalty area is often not protected by the midfielder, or the protection is not strong. The defenders always encounter one-on-one. The situation made Tottenham fans both excited and frightened.

But this kind of game looks obviously more enjoyable and more enjoyable!

"Elan! How did you contact them!?"

Zahavi said: "It's not that I contacted them. In fact, I was going to sell you to Manchester City. You know, those Asians are very rich. It's a pity that Mancini is not interested in you. When I was disappointed, someone gave me a call!"

Digan frowned: "Daniel Levi!"

Zahavi smiled and said: "That's right! It's him, that shrewd and black-hearted businessman, but I like him very much. He is a smart man, and dealing with smart people always makes people happy!"

It is not surprising that Digan will know Daniel Levy, because apart from Berlusconi, Florentino, Abramovich and Moratti, Daniel Levy is the most concerned in world football One of the club presidents with the highest degree, completely exploded Laporta and his ilk.

Since entering White Hart Lane in 2001, Daniel Levy has started to turn things around in Tottenham Hotspur, no longer spending big money to buy mediocre players, no longer signing long-term contracts and suffering huge losses because of selling them loss.

At the beginning, Levi was just playing around, but every transaction has improved Tottenham's competitiveness little by little.

The first time Levi gained high exposure was when he signed Van der Vaart two years ago. At that time, the Dutch genius had just played in the World Cup final, but was sold by Real Madrid at a very low price. Levi reacted before all other teams Before that, Van der Vaart was recruited to White Hart Lane.

Then there was this man again, who asked Manchester City to advance wages to Tottenham, rented Adebayor without spending a penny, and then sold Mido to Middlesbrough at a high price of 6 million pounds. The Egyptian striker only deserves to play in the Championship.

The same man who sold Robbie Keane to Liverpool for £19m and bought it back for £12m under his nose six months later.

Comrade Daniel Levy's player transfers at White Hart Lane are a bit of a prank, but Tottenham Hotspur are not very fond of talented stars who have been abandoned by richer or "privileged" teams in Europe.

From this point of view, trading with Comrade Tottenham Chairman is like a nightmare. Manchester United had a very difficult period. At that time, spending 18 million pounds to buy Carrick was already a waste of money, but Comrade Levy still never Berbatov's transfer squeezed an extra £5m.

But let Degan know the name of Levi because of the great sage Xixing who caused a sensation in the world football in his previous life. At that time, the great sage Bell was one of the best players in the world.

But no one knows what Real Madrid is thinking, and they will pay more than Crisiano - three times Premier League champion - Champions League winner - Ronaldo classmate to buy him?

When countless people hear this news, they will definitely scratch their heads and be puzzled, especially Liverpool fans. I guess they can't figure out how the club would spend only 8 million pounds on their Michael - five-time champions. Wang - Golden Globe winner - classmate Owen sold to the same Comrade Florentino.

It didn't take that much money for a group of successful players to join Real Madrid and other giants. In addition, when the Southampton club went bankrupt, Comrade Tottenham insisted on buying Bell's additional clauses and selling additional clauses, such as selling a certain player , the home team can get a certain percentage from the next transaction. Because of this trick, Tottenham didn't have to sell Bell to Real Madrid for 25% of the deal, and paid Southampton £21 million.

Moreover, while selling Bale at a sky-high price, Levi also took advantage of his mortal enemy Arsenal. The clever trick of Comrade Levi really has nothing to do with the growth of Tottenham, it is purely personal. Bad taste.

The sky-high price deal may cause a chain reaction, so the chairman of Tottenham tried his best to cover the deal in an attempt to delay the pace of Arsenal's signings. know this.

It wasn't until the last day before the transfer window that Blancos expressed that if Bale was not released in time, he might miss the next game as a guest at Athletic Bilbao, and Comrade Levi finally let go.

Real Madrid can finally get the person they want, but Levy always makes them suffer as much as possible. Arsenal finally bought Ozil, but the Gunners' board of directors is not sure whether to spend 43 million pounds to buy the German. There really is a need for controversy.

People can almost imagine such a picture in their minds. Levi is sitting in the office on the transfer deadline day, rubbing a magic lamp, hoping that the magic lamp fairy will not have to fulfill his three wishes, as long as he finds a frustrated manager. The man is obviously Comrade Wenger, the boss of the sworn enemy Arsenal.

It is impossible for Digan not to be impressed by such a person of character. It can be said that Comrade Levi is a shrewd and capable person, or a cunning ghost. Different people have different opinions.

Although Comrade Levi's omissions and confusion have made Tottenham's lineup short in recent years, but without Comrade Levi's brilliance in the transfer market, Tottenham would not be able to reach the heights it is today.

Even if there is no large stadium as the home court, no rich godfather boss, no problem!

Tottenham fans can not only firmly believe that under the leadership of Comrade Chairman, Tottenham can "be super-well-off and go to the middle class" even if they sell top players. Near future.

Before that, Degan never thought that one day he would be associated with Tottenham. Speaking of which, he and Tottenham still have some connections. At the beginning, Degan followed Fiorentina to London to play the Champions League knockout round, but was defeated by Arsenal. Na made a move, but couldn't find a training venue. As a result, Levi generously gave a helping hand, solving Florence's urgent need, and very generously asked Tottenham to serve as a training partner for Florence. Degan also took advantage of that opportunity. In return, I pointed out Bell's free kick technique.

But many years have passed since this happened. Who knows, Degan will be linked with Tottenham today.

Thinking of Levi's unpredictable methods, Digan even felt a bit of fear: That guy must have started thinking about him a few years ago, right?

If so, it would be too scary!

The only explanation is that Levi is also a reborn! And it's a reborn from another dimension!

Zahavi waited for a long time but did not see Digan speak, said: "Rod! Although I don't know if you are interested, but I think this is a good choice. You are completely worth considering. Although Tottenham is not too big Fame, but this team is very young, just like Fiorentina back then, and their results in recent seasons have been very good!"

Digan laughed and said, "No! Not what you think, Elan! I'm very interested! Yes! Very interested!"

Degan is indeed very interested, not only in the character chairman Levy, but also in the Tottenham team. The team that has always advocated offense is simply the dream of an offensive lunatic like him. Most importantly, there are many acquaintances of Degan in Tottenham.

Modric, who had played together in Fiorentina for many years, and Vertonghen, his teammate of the Belgian national team, were all incentives for Degan to be interested in Tottenham.

Moreover, Tottenham have a place in the UEFA Champions League next season. At that time, Degan can take revenge on Barcelona. This is the most important thing!
