In the head coach's office at Carrington Training Base, Ferguson was staring at the news in a newspaper.

Arsenal and Chelsea finally reached an agreement. Ashley Cole announced his transfer to Chelsea, while the Blues exchanged Galas. This transfer that caused a lot of controversy at the beginning and even almost caused Chelsea to be suspended and deducted points was finally over.

But it's not just the ones that made Ferguson dazed. Chelsea sold both Sigan and Pire to Villarre, the former was a transfer, the latter was a free agency, and Borgkamp retired, Campbell terminated the contract, and Reyes was loaned to Real Madrid. Everything was telling Ferguson about something.

Wenger finally made up his mind

Some people say that when a person gets old, his heart tends to become softer, he tends to lack fighting spirit, lack fighting spirit and adventurous spirit, and want to stay true to his success.

But Ferguson felt that it was not. He felt that the older a person had, the richer his experience and qualifications, and the more thorough he considered the problem. Of course, this inevitably led to the impression of lacking the spirit of adventure, but it was not easy to cause major changes.

Ferguson knew clearly how difficult it was to break everything Arsenal had insisted on in the past few years. This was equivalent to overturning everything he had worked hard to build in the past. Without enough courage and determination, Wenger would not be able to take this step.

Of course, this has something to do with Arsenal's poor performance last season. Although they reached the Champions League final, they almost missed the UEFA Champions League this season. If they don't break or stand, Wenger should have changed.

What about myself? Should I change too?

Ferguson has been changing all the time, but it is not thorough enough. For example, he sent captain Keane away in 2005, which has already sounded the signal of Manchester United's reorganization, but he is very clear that to reorganize Manchester United, one person needs to be sent away, that is Fanny.

The Dutch forward has become the biggest obstacle to Manchester United's frontcourt. His incompatible relationship with Cristiano Ronaldo and others have become Manchester United's biggest problem now. This season, Ferguson has decided to introduce Bulgarian striker Berbatov from Leverkusen, which is the clarion call for changing the front line.

Like Van Nicht, Berbatov has a very small range of movement in the frontcourt, but his skills in taking the ball are very good. Turning around, shooting or passing the ball are all Berbatov's strengths, and he has a strong scoring ability. Using him to replace Van Nicht is more suitable for Manchester United to step in the offensive route.

To put it bluntly, it is impossible to play and insert it. It is impossible for a tactical fulcrum to hold the ball in the frontcourt.

Originally, what Ferguson wanted was Chelsea's Van Persie, but he heard that being intercepted by Ye Qiu directly led to his having to spend more than 10 million euros to introduce Berbatov. Ferguson was thinking about how to give this kid some revenge for this account.

The idea of ​​adjusting the midfield has been around for a long time. Scholes retreated and participated in more organizational tasks, which has been confirmed in the past year. However, it is not enough to have Scholes alone. One person must be shared with him, and is specifically responsible for sorting out the midfield and allocating the ball rights. Scholes is relatively high and is not suitable for this kind of work.

Ferguson decided to take revenge on Ye Qiu with this matter because he fell in love with Tottenham Hotspur's main midfielder, Michael Carrick, and he had already contacted Carrick's agent and almost gave a quotation.

But Ferguson claimed to be confidential and achieved his goal. Unexpectedly, Ye Qiu called directly on this day.

"I said, Lao Gui, you are too sinister, you actually dig me?" Ye Qiu was indignant on the phone.

Half an hour later, they met in a Chinese restaurant in Manchester. Ye Qiu, the boy shamelessly ordered a lot of things, then pointed at Ferguson directly and said that he would pay later. This did not have the image of a celebrity, it was simply extortion.

"Come on, you can't keep Carrick, just say, how much does it cost?" Ferguson and Ye Qiu quarreled on the phone for more than ten minutes. However, when they met, the two of them were not angry at all and sat down straight to the point.

"This number" Ye Qiu raised three fingers, but the one he received was Ferguson's middle finger.

Both of them laughed, but Ye Qiu also knew very well that it was difficult for Carrick to refuse the invitation from Manchester United, but he still chose to stay because in his opinion, Carrick is not an indispensable player in the team, but not a player who must leave.

"There are not many players like Carrick now. Do you think I will let go easily?" Ye Qiu shook his head and asked with a smile, "You deserve to beg me now. Who told you to let Harvey Alonso go?"

Xavi Alonso wanted to join Manchester United, but for some reason in the end, Manchester United did not introduce this Spanish midfielder in the end. It is estimated that this may also have some relationship with the emotions of midfielders such as Keane.

Carrick's organizational ability may not be as good as Harvey Alonso, but his passing ability is not weak and his long passes are excellent. Ye Qiu is right. There are fewer and fewer players like Carrick now. Pirlo, Harvey, Harvey Alonso, who else? It seems that it is really hard to remember.

If Ye Qiu asked, he might say that there is Fabregas, but the Spanish boy is not very famous now.

"If you really don't let go, I'll train one by myself." Ferguson felt that 30 million euros were too outrageous.

When Xavi Alonso came to Liverpool from Real Sociedad, it was only 15 million euros. Now you only cost 30 million euros per Carrick. Do you really treat me as Abramovich?

"You can train it, I really can't count who can work in Manchester United. Also, when you finally train one, maybe people won't be popular anymore, and the daylily will be cold. Then you will be able to drink the northwest wind?" Ye Qiu smiled and scolded him, "Besides, this money is not yours, why do you feel sorry for?"

Ferguson had no choice but to say this guy, so he changed the subject, "You came to Manchester to talk to me about this?"

Ye Qiu shook his head vigorously, "I'll go to Schutsbury and come to Manchester by the way." After saying that, he couldn't help laughing.

"Get out, Shuzbury is northwest of Birmingham." Ferguson immediately laughed and scolded.

Birmingham is in the middle of London and Manchester, and Schutsbury is a little bit northwest of Birmingham. Even people with their heads on their butts know that from London to Schutsbury, they have to pass by Manchester? What is the way to go?

Ferguson knew very well this time that Ye Qiu was indeed making a special trip to talk about Carrick.

"Okay, okay, I won't talk too much anymore, just talk straight to the point." Ye Qiu finally put down his chopsticks and didn't talk to him, "You want Michael Carrick, and he also wants to go to Manchester United. I can accept it. Give me Vanny."

Without waiting for Ferguson to agree or refuse, Ye Qiu said directly, "Don't talk to me about Van Nie's very important to you. Without Van Nie, Manchester United's offense, and there are nonsense about how many goals Van Nie scored in the Premier League last season. I know your thoughts very well, and I also know the embarrassing situation of Van Nie in your team's tactical system now. In a word, if you add money, I will nod."

"Fanny vs. Carrick, and you'll have more money?" Ferguson really wanted to curse. What kind of logic is this?

As a world-class striker, Fanny Van Nicht scored 35 L goals in the Premier League last season. Such a score is definitely top-notch for a striker. But although Carrick is excellent, he is a midfielder. Manchester United feels that he has lost money by exchanging Van Nicht for Carrick.

"Old man, the transfer value of a player does not depend on his ability and level, but on how much you need him. You said this, right?" Ye Qiu looked at Ferguson with a smile, and he was not in a hurry at all.

One of the important reasons why he chose Tottenham Hotspur at the beginning was that the players of this team were more valuable.

Tottenham Hotspur actually prefers a technical tactical style, which is related to their early European route. Over the years, they have hired European coaches, such as French coach Santini, Dutch coach Yoll, etc., while European coaches generally attach more importance to selecting stars with relatively solid technical skills.

But this type of player is more popular in the Premier League and has a high value.

Therefore, Ye Qiu would rather spend more money to acquire Tottenham Hotspur than choose cheaper West Ham United. This includes many considerations at different levels.

Compared with a midfielder like Carrick, it is easier to find a scorer, especially for famous coaches like Ye Qiu and Ferguson. Unless they are very distinctive strong forwards, there will generally be no one goal. For example, Ferguson wants a forward who can hold the ball in the frontcourt, and Van Persie and Berbatov are both forwards he likes.

Ferguson also knew this very well, so after Ye Qiu finished speaking, he thought about it carefully, and finally shook his head helplessly and asked, "Then how much do you think you can add?"

Ye Qiu smiled, "Ten million euros"

"Are you crazy?" Ferguson shook his head directly, "I will add five million at most."

"It depends on how sincere you are. Ten million cannot be lost for a penny." Ye Qiu was also very persistent.

Ferguson was also angry. This guy simply killed himself like Abramovich. Isn't this obviously a fool? Is he that stupid? At worst, Carrick doesn't want it anymore

"Five million, no more than a penny"

"I'm really disappointed with you, Sir Ferguson, you don't have the heroic spirit of treating money as dirt in my mind. If you think about it yourself, now that Carrick is running away, the Manchester United midfield problem cannot be solved. The championship this season is still unsuccessful, and you have to be pressed by Mourinho on your head. If you don't believe it, you can just walk and see."

Ye Qiu also seemed to me that I believe you would have a wise judgment, but this was just a reminder to him, "In one sentence, the last offer, we will give in one step, eight million euros, if you want it, if you don't want it, I'll leave."

After saying that, Ye Qiu added, "I can guarantee that if you missed Carrick today, you will definitely blame yourself and regret it in the future as if you missed Harvey Alonso."

Ferguson was really hit by Ye Qiu. Missing Xavi Alonso and missing Ronaldinho really made Manchester United miss many opportunities. Originally, Manchester United shouldn't be like this now, but it was because of repeated hesitation that ultimately led to problems in the team's renewal.

When I thought of this, Ferguson finally gritted his teeth. Damn it, isn't it just three million?

"The deal" Ferguson slapped the table. He knew that once the transfer was announced, it would definitely attract many people to question him, thinking that he had done a deal that he had lost to meet his grandfather, but those who truly understand him would know what the meaning is hidden behind this transaction.

"Refreshing" Ye Qiu reached out and held it with Ferguson.

With their handshake, Tottenham Hotspur will exchange Michael Carrick for Luther van Nistrui, and Manchester United will add 8 million euros to Tottenham Hotspur.

After Ye Qiu took over Tottenham Hotspur, the team's operations are also taking full advantage.

From the beginning, he has formulated a very detailed plan for the team, dividing matters into priorities. In order to cope with next season, the transfer must be handled as soon as possible, and the signing and sale are carried out at the same time. On the other hand, Ye Qiu also asked Eliza Moon to select a suitable new training base for the team.

This is not something you can choose casually, because training bases generally cover a large area. For example, Kearney of Arsenal and Cobham of Chelsea, the two training bases cover an area of ​​about 700 and 800 acres. If they are close to London, let’s not talk about whether there is such a land. Even if there is one, how outrageous the price would be?

Cobham is located in the southwest part of London, while Kearney is north of London, both in the suburbs, and such land is relatively cheap.

Like all big cities, although London is crowded, once it reaches the suburbs, the land in many places is vast and sparsely populated, and the land in many places is not worth the money. Moreover, training bases generally like to choose places with convenient transportation, but relatively quiet and will not be disturbed by the outside world. Therefore, they are usually in the suburbs of small towns in the suburbs.

It is conceivable that buying land in such a place will naturally not be too expensive.

The day after Ye Qiu headed south from Manchester, Eliza took him north again, but this time he would not go too far. It was just north of Enfield, north of London's northern suburbs of London, in the middle of the border with Chesent. The transportation here is very convenient. There is an intersection on the 5th Highway and the road is very convenient.

The surrounding area is home to the middle class, and the public security is relatively good, because generally speaking, the public security in some small towns in the suburbs of London may be better than in the city. For example, the public security in Totrech, where Ye Qiu lives, is beyond words.

Chesent and Enfield are both places where middle-class people live. The British government specially designed the Olympic venue for the kayaking rapids of the London Olympics, Leigh Valley White Wave Center is located here, but construction is not yet planned.

The surrounding area is beautiful, with convenient transportation, and dense forests on both sides of the road, which is the best natural barrier in itself.

More importantly, it is very cheap. Although it is separated from Enfield District, London by a highway 5, it is a territory belonging to Hertfordshire. Hertfordshire is also very supportive of Tottenham Hotspur coming to their southernmost end to build such a training base.

By chance, Arsenal's Kearney training base also belongs to Hertfordshire, but they are located in Kearney, in the west of the central and western part of Hertfordshire, and are separated from the Watford Club's training ground, while Chelsea is at the corner of the southeastern end of Hertfordshire.

Both Premier League teams have built training bases in Hertfordshire, so the policies given are naturally similar, and they are given discounts when buying land.

Ye Qiu's idea was that in addition to the first-team training ground, youth team training ground, and their respective training buildings and venue facilities, he also wanted to build an indoor training ground, which undoubtedly required more funds to operate, and also required a larger area. So this time, Tottenham Hotspur directly won 0 acres of land, which is about 1,510 acres.

Perhaps they were worried that Tottenham Hotspur was not satisfied with the preferential treatment given by the government, so they told them about the planning of the surrounding areas, that is, they were only separated from them by the H198 Highway, and the new campus of the famous St. Mary's Public School in the UK will be located here.

In the UK, public schools are twenty-five particularly good private schools called public schools, and can also be understood as elite schools.

According to the standards of public schools, one is that it has a long history, the second is to pay attention to humanities education, the third is to have classical and religious courses, the fourth is to pay special attention to physical activities, and the fifth is that the tuition is very expensive.

The reason why Eliza decided that this place was good was that in addition to the convenient transportation and beautiful environment, it was because the neighbor next door was St. Mary's Public School. She felt that Tottenham Hotspur could fully cooperate with St. Mary's Public School to help them improve their sports, and then arrange their youth training players to study in this school.

You should know that sports are highly valued in the UK. Otherwise, there would be no sports activity in the selection criteria for public schools. Football is undoubtedly the most popular sport in England, so such cooperation is entirely possible.

Ye Qiu also felt that this would definitely benefit Tottenham Hotspur Hotspur very long-term, so he finally decided to choose the team's new training base here, and at the same time, Eliza and St. Mary's Public School negotiated and negotiated cooperation matters.

This 1,510 acres of land cost 00,000 euros, but the land is surrounded by green trees, forming a natural barrier and beautiful environment. A stream called Theobord interspersed through it, which undoubtedly provides convenience to the drainage system of the training base, and will also make the entire training base more natural.

Ye Qiu even thought that he wanted to hire someone to design the building and planning of this training base, make full use of the natural environment here, and strive to create a modern training base that is not inferior to Kearney and Cobham, or even surpass these two major five-star ratings.

And he has always had many ideas about training bases, but before that Cobham had taken shape and did not put it into practice. Now he thinks he should think about how to apply it to his training base. After all, this is his own property and territory. Everything must be done to the best, and strive to build the best training base.

And all these things naturally fell on Eliza's head.

This poor woman could not resist except for her resentful eyes, so she could only think about it mischievously, in a few years, St. Mary's Public School will come in and the London Olympic venue will be built, and the land value here will definitely skyrocket. Will it be very satisfying to sell the hard work this guy has worked hard to build?
