Chapter 643 The World's No. 1 Lower Back
At the end of January and August every year, Hilton Hotels do not need to worry about customer sources, because in the late two months, their housing will be overcrowded, and even the entire area around Hyde Park is also overcrowded.
All of this is the benefit of the Football Economic Forum of Moon Sports Services, which has become the largest football forum in the world. Almost all the football clubs in the world that are slightly more famous all hope to erect their own flags and put on a desk on this forum.
Today, the Football Economic Forum has developed from the first floor to the first floor to the banquet halls of the Hilton Hotel as venues. The second and third floors are the European area, the fourth floor is the South America area, and the fifth floor is the mixed area of Africa, Asia and North America. But even so, it is still overcrowded, which shows how large it is.
In addition, the forum also rents several floors, specially used to provide VIp customers, and arranges some well-known customers to hold meetings and negotiate. In addition, football associations from various countries have offices in hotels, such as England, Scotland, France, Spain, etc., and have arranged special groups to settle in. This is also true in other major countries. Many small countries even directly entrusted to Moon Sports Service Company for agents.
In other words, as long as all transactions you negotiate in this venue can be registered in the shortest time.
The closing time of the transfer market is nominally twenty-three o'clock, but in fact, it is not so punctual, and it is usually slightly delayed, for about half an hour, and after the night, the things to be discussed are basically agreed and the things to be done are done, so the venue has become very deserted, and more people gather in the negotiation room or conference hall.
The office area of the FA was arranged in a suite on the eighth floor of the Hilton Hotel. This time they arranged a team of more than a dozen people to come in. Almost all of the three days were spent in the venue, and many times they even had to take turns to rest because there was too much work.
Many people say that transfers during the winter break are no more than summer transfers. This is right, because summer transfers are brewing longer and the preparation time is more sufficient, so there will definitely be more transfers and the transaction amount will be larger.
However, the winter break period is shorter and the operating time is less, so many times the transfers are concentrated in the last few days, especially after the founding of the Football Economic Forum, the last three days have almost become an important channel for various teams to sign or loan.
In the last three days of this year, the transfers and loans for the Premier League alone reached 130, most of which were loans, which also had some connection with transfers during the winter break. After all, the operating time is too short, and loans are undoubtedly a relatively cost-effective transaction, and the risk is relatively small. If it is not suitable, it will be directly refunded after half a year.
But this is just the Premier League. You should know that England has four professional leagues, the Championship, the English League One and the English League Two, and even the amateur leagues, and their transfer needs are also very large and they are not inferior to the Premier League at all, so the player mobility is also very frequent.
It is not as simple as many ordinary fans imagine. If you are outside the Economic Forum, the procedures will be more complicated. They need to go to many departments. The advantage of the Football Economic Forum is that the FA has arranged a working group, and each FA department has arranged personnel to enter this group, and there are even labor certificate reviewers from the Ministry of the Interior.
In other words, you used to have to go to many departments, but now you don’t need to do it anymore. You just need to go to the Football Economic Forum, and you can do all the work in one stop.
But even if we save so many links, we have to provide a lot of materials.
For example, if La Liga La Coruna wants to loan forward Sisco, who plays for Newcastle, to complete this transfer, the first thing is to do is to have an agent participate. The agent must provide his own agent certificate and player authorization documents, as well as the player's own statement. In addition, if Newcastle wants to sell people, he must present the club executives, at least the CEO's signature documents. In addition, La Coruna must also provide the loaned players.
In addition to the completion of the FA and the Spanish Football Association, it is also considered that it is a multinational transaction and UEFA must also handle it. Therefore, the entire process is done with a lot of time, and these are all essential, because this is a transfer, which involves the players and two top league clubs. Who dares to be careless
With the Football Economic Forum, they are at most running upstairs and downstairs. But if it was in the past, when there was no Football Economic Forum, the method they adopted was even more inefficient. Then they could only use fax, and wait for news after the message was sent. Even every year, there were some reasons such as shortage of fax paper or failure in the last moment of the transfer period, or delayed reply from the Football Association, which forced the transfer to be cancelled.
This is why they are willing to participate in the Football Economic Forum. In addition to being a comprehensive forum, it is also because it is more convenient and more efficient.
Paul Newman, CEO of Moon Sports Services, will appear in the last moments of every football economic forum, at the Football Association's office. He will pay close attention to the transaction volume. Moon Sports Services will also have its own file to be kept for analysis in the future. This is also to provide better and more targeted services in the future, and to improve some problems.
It was already 23:25, and many working groups of the Football Association ended their work and ended their busy three days. What awaited them was leisurely work, and they would not be busy until summer.
But the FA still couldn't stop because they were still waiting for a message.
Paul Newman raised the watch on his left wrist from time to time, and looked at it several times a minute.
"Will it happen?" The people from the FA seemed a little impatient.
If it can be successful, it doesn't matter if it waits, but if the negotiations break down, their waiting will completely become useless. And you must know that according to regulations, the transfer deadline is 23 o'clock, but now it's more than half an hour, so they have every reason to leave directly.
After hearing this, Paul Newman smiled, "Don't worry, it should be possible. I asked the hotel to bring hot coffee. Everyone should rest first, don't worry, it should be soon."
Moon Sports Services does not draw any commissions from the transfer. This is the purpose of the player database and the football economic forum. Therefore, whether the transaction is completed or not has a big impact on Moon Sports Services, but one of the parties to this transaction is Tottenham Hotspur. Strictly counting, Tottenham Hotspur and Moon Sports Services are brothers, both of which are Ye Qiu's industries.
Time passed minute by minute, and not long after, time skipped thirty minutes.
"Let's go, I guess it won't be able to get a deal." The people of the FA are usually bureaucratic. They have never waited for someone like this. If the other party wasn't Ye Qiu's Tottenham Hotspur, and Paul Newman were beside them, they would have left long ago.
Just as they were about to pack up, they heard an urgent knock on the door outside.
"Here you come." Paul Newman smiled, breathed a sigh of relief, and walked over and opened the door in person.
Just saw Yaya Toure's agent Dimitri Seluke walking outside panting. Although this guy seemed to be running out of breath, his expression was extremely excited. This expression could be seen from almost every agent who walked into this room.
Because when they walked into this room and walked out, they no longer knew how much money they had made.
"What the hell are you doing? You're half an hour late, and you're here now? You won't do it anymore." These FA staff dare not be angry with Paul Newman, nor dare to offend Premier League bigwigs, and even dare not offend some big-name agents, but Dimitri O'Seluke is obviously not in this ranks.
Therefore, these FA men who are domineering in their daily lives have now vented their breath on Seluke.
Paul Newman also knows the situation. The FA is different from the Premier League. The former is a typical bureaucratic style, while the latter adopts a modern corporate system. Unfortunately, there are many things in the Premier League that have to go through the FA, such as labor certificates, schedules and adjustments, and red and yellow card violations, etc.
"Go, prepare the materials and get it done quickly." Paul O Newman also felt that Seluke was quite unlucky, so he felt a little sympathetic on the surface, but he knew very well in his heart that this guy encouraged Yaya O Toure to change jobs and transfer. He didn't know how much commission he would get from this transaction, and he deserved it if he was scolded.
Soon, Tottenham Hotspur representatives and Manchester City representatives also walked into the room with materials one after another. Tottenham Hotspur had signed documents from CEO Peter Nean and COO Ron Gurley, while Manchester City had club chairman Mubarak negotiated in person at the Hilton Hotel.
"Wow" When people from the FA got the transfer documents, their first reaction was to see who transferred first, and then see how much the transfer fee was. When they saw it, they were a little surprised.
The price of 55 million euros is indeed not high for Tottenham Hotspurs who habitually sell their own stars at high prices, but the problem is that this contract has another additional clause, that is, if Manchester City can win the top four leagues this season and Yaya O Toure plays double-digit games, they will pay another 5 million euros.
In other words, this is a transfer fee of only 55 million euros, but if all the additional terms are met, the transfer will reach 60 million euros, which is almost the price of Chelsea introducing Torres, and for a midfielder, this is simply a sky-high price.
Yaya O Toure has been very popular in recent years, especially after Tottenham Hotspur sold Mascherano, several giant teams including Real Madrid have successively pursued him. Manchester City had wanted to get him before, but Yaya O Toure's value was at most about 30 million euros. But the problem is that he just won the African Footballer and performed at a high level for three consecutive seasons. Now he is in his year of playing, which has become the reason for his high price.
Now, switching to Manchester City at such an amazing high price will surely confirm his title as the world's No. 1 midfielder.
Seeing the surprise of the FA officials, Seluke also laughed. He was able to draw a commission of 10, or 5.5 million euros from this transaction, and this commission will be responsible for Manchester City. In other words, in order to introduce Yaya or Toure, Manchester City paid a higher fee than Torres.
Of course, no one knows how many agents have drawn in Torres' transfer.
Seluke himself does not have a broker certificate, so he asked one of his broker friends to act as a broker to complete the transfer.
After several hours of intense negotiations, Tottenham Hotspur's main midfielder Yaya or Toure finally switched to Manchester City
The next day, major European newspapers were all about the last crazy reports of the transfer market during the winter break the day before, especially for Premier League teams, because during the entire winter break the transfer, several Premier League teams were the most disturbing.
In other leagues, Mourinho's Inter Milan has also introduced several players including Pacini and Ranozia to further strengthen his own strength. In Mourinho's words, it is not only necessary to strive for the Serie A championship, but also to continue to attack the Champions League.
While the entire European football world has paid attention to the crazy transfer of the Premier League during the winter break, Tottenham Hotspur players have also heard the news that Yaya O Toure has transferred to Manchester City. For them, this is no longer a surprise. After all, Yaya O Toure has mentioned it to them before.
However, it is a bit regrettable, after all, the strength of the Ivorians is indeed very outstanding.
Without him in the team, who else can you trust in the midfield position?
The next day, some of the first-team players who gathered in Theoborde were worried and some were happy. After all, the departure of Yaya O Toure is a chance for many people, one to gain a foothold in the first team, and even to play as the main player.
Ye Qiu announced this news to the players before the morning training class began. At the same time, the club's official website and mobile AP also pushed this news to fans all over the world in the morning. Ye Qiu also told everyone that Yaya O Toure's departure is regrettable, but Tottenham Hotspur will continue to be strong.
In the first training class that followed, everyone clearly felt the test of Ye Qiu on them. After all, tomorrow will be the 25th round of the Premier League. Who will replace Yaya or Toure, all the players with competition are full of fighting spirit.
During the training, Ye Qiu tried three players, Ramsey, Phil Jones and Pogba.
Among the three players, Pogba is the youngest, only seventeen years old, and the weakest competitiveness. After all, his age is there, Ramsey is the most competitive because his running and coverage ability is excellent, but his defense seems to be more focused on fighting and shoveling.
After all, as a midfielder, if Ramsey wants to play a midfielder, his physical strength is at a disadvantage. Many times, the reason for his shovel is because his opponent has to break through his defense, so he can only shovel when he has no choice but to put shovels, which is caused by defensive failure.
Phil O Jones is very good in terms of defensive ability, physical fitness, speed and physical confrontation, and is also very suitable for playing this midfielder. Although he is only eighteen years old, this kid is full of fighting spirit and has a strong desire to fight. He is a typical English young man who is popular in English.
But at the end of the day, I am young and have a sense of impetus, but it will take a long time to craft it if I can let go but not to stop.
After Ye Qiu tested Ramsey in the morning, he pulled Phil o Jones out in the afternoon.
First, Phil O Jones, as a defensive player, faces various offensive routines of the main players in one-third of the field, and then Mauro Tassoti, who is responsible for defensive training and skill crafts, personally supervises him. As soon as a problem occurs, he immediately stops, reminds and teaches him how to run and stand, and how to protect the defense line behind him.
In addition to Phil Jones, Ramsey, Pogba and even other midfielders were on the sidelines or participated in the game. They were also analyzed and guided by Mauro Tassoti.
The entire tactical special training 丨 lasted for an hour, and then Phil O Jones was arranged to go to the training room for special training 丨 arranged for him to face the incoming ball in any direction at any time and under any circumstances, not only should he be able to stop steadily, but he should also be able to pass the ball to the most suitable place in the shortest time.
Monitz and Murenstin were personally responsible for sculpting his in-training room, especially passing and stopping.
In addition to Phil O Jones being valued by the coaching staff, Pogba is also the focus of the coaching staff. After all, the position of the back midfielder is urgently lacking. Both of them are the team's focus of the team. People like Beckham, Ramsey and Varane can only be regarded as guest appearances at best.
The players have no objection to the coaching staff's training for Phil O Jones and Pogba, because if they are willing to practice more, they can also get relevant treatment from the coaching staff, but it is not as good as the treatment received by Phil O Jones, but this also takes into account the team's current scarcity of midfielders.
During the transfer throughout the winter break, Tottenham Hotspur not only sold Yaya or Toure, but also sent Solgen or Hazard to play for Southampton in the Championship. This Belgian player may not be as talented as his older brother Eden or Hazard, but his strength is still very good. He can't play in Tottenham Hotspur, so he can only go to Southampton.
With Tottenham selling Yaya O Toure at a high price, the future prospects of the North London team have also been doubted. After all, Yaya O Toure plays as a back midfielder, which is an important part of defense. Although Tottenham is passively selling people, selling the main midfielder will still have a great impact.
Many bookmakers have lowered their expectations for Tottenham Hotspur's championship, especially in the Champions League, including Barcelona, Real Madrid, Inter Milan and other teams, all of which have begun to catch up with Tottenham Hotspur. However, in the Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur is still the number one favorite to win the championship with a strong lead.
Interestingly, in the 25th round of the Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur challenged Blackburn away.
This is Phil o Jones's old boss
