Chapter 388 We Need You!
So, things in the world are really coincidental, and they are very accurate.
When Beckham was planning to try contact with Ye Qiu and Tottenham Hotspur, Eliza Moon called Victoria and asked Ye Qiu to invite him to meet with Beckham, where he could choose to choose Madrid.
That night, after Beckham finished his afternoon training class, he drove directly to a very famous Western restaurant near the Bernabeu Stadium in Madrid. Ye Qiu was already sitting here waiting for him.
"I'm so sorry, I'm late." As soon as Beckham entered the box, he apologized immediately. In fact, he was not late.
Ye Qiu looked at Hamilton on his left hand and smiled, "No, you're very on time, it's too early for me."
"Where is Victoria?" Beckham asked his wife, why didn't he see anyone?
"She went out with Eliza," Ye Qiu said casually.
Beckham smiled, and he realized that they wanted Ye Qiu to communicate with him alone. After all, sometimes Victoria is present and many things are inconvenient to talk about. Everyone knows that Victoria wants him to go to the United States.
Beckham is very familiar with this restaurant. After the waiter came in, he ordered his favorite food and said, "The players in Real Madrid like to come here very much. When they were traveling to China, the chefs here also went to China with the team."
After hearing this, Ye Qiu smiled, "How do you feel about China?"
"It's very hot, those fans are very enthusiastic." Beckham smiled. He couldn't forget the crazy wave caused by Real Madrid's trip to China. He swears that it was hard to see in other parts of the world.
After hearing this, Ye Qiu smiled, but said with a sigh: "When he first visited China, Real Madrid's superstars gathered and played the best football in the world, and was called a Galaxy battleship. But who could have imagined that in less than three or four years, the powerful and arrogant Galaxy battleship would suddenly collapse.
This is also Beckham's biggest regret, because when he came to the team, it happened that Real Madrid had declined from prosperity, so many fans blamed him directly, but he never gave a defense for this because he felt that the team performed poorly and everyone was responsible, including himself.
"When I challenged Manchester United not long ago, Ferguson invited me to drink and said a lot," Ye Qiu said with a smile.
"How is he now?" Beckham seemed to remember Ferguson's drinking and pulling Ye Qiu to speak, and smiled.
Ye Qiu smiled again, "It should be good. Although he gave up the position of the league leader, he should be in a good relationship."
In fact, even if Manchester United ended up not winning the championship this season, it was a successful season for Ferguson because he really found a path belonging to Manchester United. This was something he had never expected when he sent off players such as Beckham, Keane and Fanny. Those years of confusion led to Manchester United's downturn, but now, everything is over.
"He won't give in easily," Beckham nodded.
Ye Qiu nodded in agreement, "I was very impressed by his words. He said that players, like coaches, must rely on their results on the football field to prove themselves." This is why Ye Qiu talked about Ferguson.
Perhaps in the eyes of many people, Beckham and Ferguson should be incompatible, but in fact, Ye Qiu could feel that although the relationship between the two was a bit stiff, there was no hatred. On the contrary, whether it was Ferguson or Beckham, they still had a strong relationship with each other.
Sometimes things are like this. It was originally just a matter between two people, but with the media hype and fueling, it gradually became a matter for everyone. The two could solve it with just a few words, but in the end it turned into hatred that seemed to last forever. They felt embarrassed when they met each other.
The most typical ones are Ye Qiu and Wenger. They are neighbors. Don’t look at the North London derby between Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur before. They misjudged the two to have a big fight, but they never talked about this in private, and they had a good relationship with each other. The two have a lot of contact with each other, but who knows all this?
Many people say that the media is using celebrities, but aren’t celebrities also using the media?
"This is his football creed." After hearing this, Beckham obviously had a deep understanding of this. After a meal, he asked in turn: "Has he drunk and told you something about me?"
Ye Qiu was stunned, and his stunnedness obviously made Beckham see the answer and laughed.
"Don't worry, actually I know him. He is a big-mouthed person and likes to curse people, but he never holds grudges after scolding him. Only after drinking, he is inevitably a little verbose." Beckham seemed to have a different pleasure when he scolded Ferguson, and laughed.
Ye Qiu's relationship with the two masters and apprentices is really strange, but it is definitely not as hatred as many people imagine.
"Actually, he has told me a lot, and has been talking for many years, but" Beckham always sighed when he talked about Ferguson, "Many times, I really think that there is only football in the life of a player?"
Ye Qiu frowned, and this question was difficult to answer.
"The red card of the 1998 World Cup completely turned me into a sinner. That period was the most painful and saddest time. The old man and Victoria were the two people who helped me the most. Without them, I could not get out, but the two of them had completely different requirements for me."
Ye Qiu seemed to be a little immersed in his thoughts when he saw Beckham. Obviously, the topic about Ferguson just now stimulated him and evoked some of his past events and memories. He also seemed unwilling to leave a bad impression on Ye Qiu and wanted to explain.
"You know, when I dated and got married to Victoria, she was a world-renowned popular singer, and I was a professional player at Manchester United, or I was a little famous in England, but she became pregnant after 1998, gave up her career, and stayed at home to take care of her children. She sacrificed a lot for me."
"Maybe in the eyes of many people, she doesn't understand football and just thinks about how to hype and make money, but in my opinion, is it wrong for a woman to do this for her husband, family, and children? Or, how many years can a professional player play? What should I do after retirement? How do my family, children, live?"
After hearing Beckham's question, it was the first time that Ye Qiu thought of this aspect. He realized that the reason why Beckham allowed Victoria to operate in many things was not because he was afraid of his wife, but because he knew that everything Victoria did was for this family.
Many professional players are incredible when playing football and spend money freely, leaving no money behind, but after retirement, they are poor and destitute. In addition, they are full of illness during football, and they have to continue to use drugs to maintain their support after retirement, which is also quite expensive. Therefore, professional players are actually a bowl of youth.
Perhaps some people may say that after retirement, they can continue to engage in football-related business, such as being a game commentator, writing a newspaper review column, or being a coach, what proportion of people who can complete this transformation occupies?
Ye Qiu always felt that don’t blame the players for asking for too much salary when renewing their contracts, because each contract renewal means that the closer they are to retire, so the more nervous they will be, and the more they want to try more benefits while they can still bargain to protect their future life.
At this time, Ye Qiu was thinking that Ferguson and Victoria could be said to be the two most important people in Beckham's life. The former requires him to focus on playing football, while the latter hopes to establish a solid enough guarantee for this family to ensure that the family can continue to maintain after her husband retires.
Therefore, no one can say which of these two people is wrong and who is right. They can only say that this is a problem that all families in the world will encounter.
"What's the point?" Ye Qiu thought of this, smiled and asked, "What do you think?"
Beckham looked at Ye Qiu, swept it in his mind, gritted his teeth secretly, and plucked up the courage to make a decision, "I hope to stay in Europe, and my first choice is to return to the Premier League."
Inter Milan also wants to get Beckham, but with Figo's contract renewal, Beckham's way to switch to Inter Milan has been blocked, and what Beckham wants most is to go to the Premier League, because this will be most conducive to maintaining his position in the national team and his image in the London Olympics in the future.
"Then come to Tottenham Hotspur. I need a midfielder like you. I also hope that the team will make efforts in the second half, strive to compete for the top four in the league, and strive to qualify for the UEFA Champions League next season," Ye Qiu said frankly.
"What will happen in the future? I can't promise you. I can't tell you that I guarantee you will be the main player in the team in the next few years, because that is irresponsible to you, me, the team, and all the players. What I can guarantee is that you will be the main player in the next six months. Tottenham and Tottenham need players like you to strengthen the team's midfield and midfield strength."
Ye Qiu has always emphasized a word, player, he hopes to tell Beckham that the first thing Tottenham wants to get is a midfielder Beckham who can help the team enter the top four of the Premier League, rather than a superstar Beckham.
Ye Qiu's statement undoubtedly made Beckham more accepting, and then the two talked about Ye Qiu's thoughts against Tottenham. In fact, many of Tottenham's things are very suitable for Beckham, such as a pass and receiving ball.
I believe that many fans will think that the Premier League is a weakness in this regard, but they do not know that the Premier League has had many teams with gorgeous styles, such as Tottenham Hotspur in the early 1990s, such as Liverpool in the Roy Evans era, and Red Devils and Manchester United in the Golden Four midfielder era.
At its peak, Manchester United had a nearly perfect four-midfield configuration that was highly praised by professional footballers.
Giggs, who is good at breaking through, Scholes, who is good at attacking from behind, Beckham, who is good at passing and scheduling from long distances, and Roy Keane, who is good at covering and organizing.
If you study and analyze it carefully, it is not difficult to find that almost all classic midfield configurations are a player combination of this type.
At that time, Manchester United's most popular tactic was a smooth pass and receiving cooperation. Coupled with Beckham's long-distance long pass dispatch, Manchester United's double striker only needed to run out of the gap to catch the ball. Therefore, after letting Beckham go in 2003, Manchester United's performance plummeted.
Of course, there may be many people who think that Beckham does not have that much effect. They will say that it is because Manchester United's double striker Black Wind and the double evil spirits are good at running gaps, which makes Beckham popular. But the question is, are Black Wind and the double evil spirits irreplaceable? If so, then their effect is not great. If not, why did Fanny replace them later?
On the other hand, is Beckham irreplaceable?
Think about it again, Manchester United rose again this season because they got Carrick. Carrick was most valued by Ferguson, and even exchanged for Van Nie for money. It was his long pass, which itself explained the problem.
In all top teams, there must be an outstanding long passer
Liverpool's Xavi Alonso and Gerrard, Manchester United's Carrick and Scholes, Barcelona's Deco and Xavi, AC Milan's Pirlo
Many people think that short passes are very important, but in fact, who can’t do short passes?
Everyone knows that those who can become professional players must have short pass skills, but medium and long passes may not be necessary, especially those who are accurate long passes like Beckham in high-speed running and fast-paced games, which is even more scarce.
Only short passes and no long passes will be greatly reduced. A truly reasonable and excellent team must have the ability to transfer the ball, otherwise it will be difficult for this team to show strong competitiveness of dominance and strength.
Tottenham Hotspur’s problem this season is the third midfielder, but in fact, organization, rhythm control and long passes are also a problem.
Fabregas is indeed very talented and capable, but lacks experience. He has all the skills that all the midfield core should have, and even the skills are not inferior to any midfield star. However, he lacks the awareness of applying and integrating technology into the game, which requires more game training and experience accumulation.
So Ye Qiu wants to get Beckham
There has always been a very high voice for Beckham to play in the middle. Many people even thought that Beckham was also successful and defeated.
His success was because of Manchester United's results, but it was also Manchester United who prevented him from going further. Because he could not return to the middle, Keane and Scholes were there in the middle, so Ferguson always put him on the right and refused to arrange him to the middle. However, many people think that playing in the middle can only play Beckham's biggest threat.
As for his midfielder after he arrived at Real Madrid, but the team's performance was not good, maybe you can see where the problem with Real Madrid is. It's obvious that it is the defensive midfielder, not Beckham
Ye Qiu even kept thinking that if Real Madrid had an excellent midfielder to partner with Beckham, the strength of this team would rise geometrically and would even return to the top team in the shortest time.
It is precisely because he has had very in-depth research and understanding of Beckham's strength that he is so sure that Beckham is the player that Tottenham Hotspur urgently needs.
Faced with Ye Qiukai's invitation and conditions, Beckham was obviously a little moved.
In fact, as early as noon, Victoria and Simon Fowler talked to him about a rough framework, that is, going to Tottenham Hotspur is also a very ideal result, because this team is in London and has been in contact with the Olympics recently. Ye Qiu is also a world-famous coach. His personal invitation shows his importance to Beckham.
"How are you talking to Real Madrid?" Beckham asked.
When Ye Qiu heard him ask this question, he felt relieved, because it proved that things were almost done. He smiled, "Real Madrid will not refuse any team that invites you, and they will even accept some quotes that are impossible to accept at all."
Beckham smiled bitterly when he heard this, because he also expected that this winter break transfer, his value might fall to a point that shocked everyone, because he will be free in another half a year, and Real Madrid will not be able to demand high prices.
"If you don't have any objection, maybe I'll let Eliza talk to your agent Simon about the contract tonight, and I'll call Real Madrid to finalize the details."
When Beckham heard Ye Qiu say this, he felt a little nervous.
To be honest, he is not willing to leave Real Madrid. If he follows his original idea, he hopes to stay in Real Madrid to prove himself. But judging from the current situation, it is not good for him to stay in Real Madrid and may even be banned. The appearance of Tottenham Hotspur undoubtedly gives him and Real Madrid an acceptable choice.
Thinking of this, Beckham stood up and stretched out his hand towards Ye Qiu, "I hope the cooperation will be happy in the future."
"Happy cooperation" Ye Qiu shook hands with a smile on Beckham.
At this time, the waiter in the restaurant knocked on the door of the private room and delivered the dishes they ordered one after another. Beckham kept praising the delicious food here, so that Ye Qiu could taste it more.
After the waiter went out, Ye Qiu suddenly remembered a question.
"By the way, David, how are you doing in your training these days?"
During the period when Beckham failed to play, he always insisted on training hard and was ready to play at any time. Even during the quit period around Christmas, he insisted on physical training in the hotel and maintaining his condition. After all, once a veteran like him gets cold, it will be troublesome to get back into shape.
Because of this, when Ye Qiu asked, he nodded without hesitation, "I can appear anytime, anywhere."
