As Italian bald coach Viali said in his book, right-back has become a major weakness of all teams in today's football, because the left foot will be highly valued, and excellent right foot players will play in the frontcourt or central defender. Only the right foot players who are neither high nor low will play in the right foot.

The current football excellent right-backs are indeed very scarce, especially when Macon is showing his old appearance and even when Manchester City is unable to stand at the main position, Ram and Alves have become the top right-backs at the moment. Puyol and Ramos seem to be more suitable for development in the middle.

As for Glenn Johnson, Sabaleta, Sarnia, Abate and others, they are still lacking some for the time being, while young people such as Raphael, Kyle O Walker still need further crafting and improvement. Therefore, when it was reported that Tottenham Hotspur might sell Alves, it immediately caused a huge response in the transfer market.

As the party involved, Tottenham Hotspur has always denied the possibility of selling Brazil's right-back, but as the party involved, Ye Qiu has never come forward to clarify the conflict between Ye Qiu and Alves, which also leaves people with doubts and suspense.

You should know that Ye Qiu has always believed in the tradition of internal resolution of internal conflicts among the team. Although he did not expose it to the outside world this time, he did not actively protect Alves. Many media people analyzed that this is because Ye Qiu is very dissatisfied and disappointed with Alves' attitudes.

Brazil's right-back is not short of buyers. Russian Anzhi is the first team to officially contact Tottenham Hotspur. This big shot offered a quotation of 30 million euros, hoping to get Brazil's right-back and make him another superstar of Anzhi after Robert Carlos.

In addition, teams including West Ham United, Newcastle, Chelsea and other teams are coveting Alves, and their right-backs need to be further strengthened, especially Chelsea, Bosingwa, Ferreira and Ivanovic have proved that it is difficult to stand on the right side independently. Introducing a trusted right-back has become Mourinho's number one target.

However, in the transfer market, the most powerful contenders against Alves are Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​the two La Liga champions.

Real Madrid's current main right-back is Aveloa, but this player has good defensive ability, but his offense seems a bit lacking. Alves is not only a top star, but also the right-back with excellent offensive ability but also good defensive ability, which is very suitable for Real Madrid's needs.

More importantly, Barcelona also wants to get this right-back, the reason is very simple, liberate Puyol

In the past, Barcelona lacked a trusted right back, so they moved Puyol to the right to make up. However, in this way, the performance in the middle was not good and the right did not make people feel safe. Therefore, introducing an excellent right back became an urgent need for Barcelona. They have expressed interest in Alves more than once.

At the age of 29, the world's number one right-back in his year of playing, it is not surprising that Alves can attract so many giants' attention. Moreover, Tottenham Hotspur's salary structure in the past few years is not high, and Alves' own salary will not become a pressure compared to those giants' teams.

This is also an important factor in why Tottenham Hotspur players can sell at high prices.

Because the transfer cost is the transfer fee plus the player's salary. Any team considers its own cost pressure. If the player's salary is relatively low, the transfer fee can be appropriately loose. If the player's salary is very high, the transfer fee must be basically lower as much as possible, and even give up signings.

Ye Qiu believes in healthy business policies. He will not blindly offer high salaries to players, and he attaches great importance to the team's salary structure.

For example, in the last season, Chelsea's total salary expenditure was as high as 191 million pounds, which is nearly 240 million euros, while Manchester City was 173 million pounds. Liverpool, West Ham United, Newcastle, Manchester United and other teams all had their salary exceeding 150 million pounds, which is a very high level.

Tottenham Hotspur’s salary expenditure is in the middle of the Premier League rankings, which was originally lower than Arsenal’s 124 million pounds, but as the team renewed its contracts one after another, the team’s salary expenditure increased to more than 130 million pounds.

Last season, the Premier League's salary soared by more than 200 million pounds, the highest and most terrifying increase among all European leagues. At present, the overall debt of the Premier League has reached an astonishing height. Chelsea alone has debts of up to 900 million pounds. You should know that Chelsea's total annual income is only about 300 million pounds.

Not long ago, authoritative institutions evaluated the overall value of Chelsea. The total value of the Blues was only more than 400 million pounds, and the brand value was only 250 million pounds.

All of this illustrates a problem. Teams like Chelsea and Manchester City are supported by blood transfusions from Abramovich and Abu Dhabi consortiums. They are completely different from Manchester United themselves. Manchester United transfusions to the Glazer family themselves, but they rely on the boss behind them to survive.

And you must understand one thing. No matter which perspective you look at it, the model of Chelsea and Manchester City is not sustainable. If Manchester United gets rid of the debt crisis of the Glazer family, they are the model that can be operated for a long time.

Another experience worth learning from is Bayern Munich. The annual income of Bundesliga class bullies is around 300 million pounds, but their salary expenditure is only 135 million pounds, which is also maintained at a relatively reasonable level.

So Ye Qiu has always known one thing very clearly. Tottenham Hotspur's superstars have frequently flowed out in the past few years. Many fans believe that it is the result of the team's low salary structure, but they have not considered it. On the contrary, it is not that the team's salary structure is low, but that the salary structure of many teams outside is high, or even ridiculously high.

As Ferguson once said, in today's world, you either follow those rich teams to burn money and burn yourself to a lot of debt, or you let go, let him go if you want to leave, sell him at a high price, and stick to your own business route. Who makes you not a rich man?

Ye Qiu is qualified to be a local tyrant. He has a lot of money, but he thinks that everything should be considered as a value issue.

At least in his football values, this uncontrollable money-burning behavior is not included.

At least in the past few years, after he acquired Tottenham Hotspur, the North London team has undergone earth-shaking changes. In the Forbes Wealth List, Tottenham Hotspur entered the top five, with a total market value of 1.1 billion pounds, second only to Manchester United's 1.5 billion pounds and Real Madrid's 1.25 billion pounds.

In terms of the team's brand value, Tottenham Hotspur has surpassed Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern Munich, becoming the second largest team after Manchester United, with a brand value of up to 510 million, less than Manchester United's 540 million. In the past year, Tottenham Hotspur's brand value has increased by up to UU.

Judging from this series of things, Ye Qiu's business of Tottenham Hotspur is successful. At least anyone who wants to acquire Tottenham Hotspur now doesn't need to consider without 2 billion pounds, that is, about 2.5 billion euros. Think about the value of Ye Qiu's acquisition of Tottenham Hotspur back then, can't this mean success?

Of course, Ye Qiu can understand some fans' ideas. They rarely care about the team's management. They only care about two things, performance and stars. However, as a club operator, Ye Qiu must consider more other things, such as the team's financial health, the team's daily operation of the team, and the team's business development, etc.

Sitting in the back row of BMW car returning to the White Hart Lane Stadium, Ye Qiu turned his head all the way and looked at the street view outside the car window. London City has become more and more Olympic atmosphere. I believe that as time goes by, this atmosphere will become stronger and stronger.

"Do fans have any ideas about the team's decision to sell Alves?" Ye Qiu asked, breaking the silence.

He actually cares about the fans very much because he knows very well that the most important core of a team is the fans.

Ron Gurley sat in the front passenger seat, turned around and shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Of course there will definitely be some fans who are not satisfied, but there are very few of them. After all, Kyle O Walker is a local player and his performance is also good. The main reason is that Alves' performance in those two games last season made the fans feel dissatisfied."

As Wenger said, Anglo-Saxon characters are emotional, and what English fans value most is attitude.

Therefore, for a player who plays in the Premier League, you can lose anything, but you can't lose that attitude.

"Where is the sponsor?" Ye Qiu asked again.

This time the answer was Peter Nion, and he laughed, "I've done this."

Ye Qiu nodded and did not continue to say anything. Tottenham Hotspur now does not need to blindly follow the sponsors. On the contrary, many sponsors must follow the Tottenham Hotspur’s principles in turn. This is because Tottenham Hotspur is no longer the North London team six years ago.

"How are you thinking about Alba's problem?" Ron Gurley asked with concern.

"How much sincerity can Barcelona give?" Ye Qiu asked with a smile.

"Two five million euros," Ron O'Gurley said, "This is their first offer."

With Abidal's illness, Barcelona's left side has become a weakness, so they are eager to introduce Alba, and the latter also hopes to return to Barcelona. At least Barcelona can guarantee his main position, but at Tottenham Hotspur, he must compete with Marcelo for a position.

"At present, Alba's net worth has soared to 30 million euros after the European Cup, and Barcelona wants to get him for 25 million euros?" Ye Qiu sneered and shook his head. Is he treating others as a fool, or does he think that the emotional offensive can be invincible?

"Do you know? I don't like Rosel very much. This guy is too snob and too petty. He has never been a big deal. Relatively speaking, I admire Florentino more, this is the kind of person with great courage."

Ye Qiu's words made Peter Nion and Ron Gurley both funny. Looking at today's football world, how many successful business people like Florentino come to run the club?

However, Barcelona is indeed too petty and always wants to play emotional offensives, but is very petty about transfer fees. This is why Real Madrid is so popular, while Barcelona is always turned away.

"You mean..." Peter Nien first understood what Ye Qiu meant, "... Use Real Madrid to put pressure?"

"It's not necessarily a pressure," Ye Qiu laughed, "We don't need to be a beauty of adulthood. Could it be that Alba wants to go to Barcelona and Barcelona refuses to pay more money, so we will suffer losses and help them?"

Ye Qiu thinks this is like the vulgar scenes that make love in idol dramas. It's so disgusting. Will Barcelona and Alba be grateful for your life for this? Don't be stupid, this is professional football

From the moment Alba said he would return to Barcelona, ​​there was only a contract relationship with Tottenham Hotspur, and nothing else, so even if Tottenham let him transfer to Real Madrid, he could only follow it.

"I understand." Peter Nion nodded. What Ye Qiu said was the same old rules, and the higher the price would be.

The car slowly entered the Bailu Lane Stadium and parked in the fixed parking space in the parking lot. Ye Qiu and the other two got off the car and entered the stadium directly, and went up the administrative office on the second floor from the stairs.

As soon as he sat down, Peter Neon's secretary sent a trip plan.

"This is the detailed itinerary for the team's US tour, and there is also a personal itinerary for you." Peter Nian passed it directly into Ye Qiu's hands without even reading it.

Tottenham Hotspur will go to the United States this summer, playing four warm-up matches in Boston, New York, Washington and Miami respectively. The opponents are basically strong teams. This training + stroke is held by Adidas. All warm-up opponents are teams sponsored by Adidas, and all are on the East Coast.

In addition to preparing for the summer and further developing the North American market, another reason for this trip to the United States is to personally inspect the New York and Miami markets. Tottenham Hotspur’s plan to form a new team in the Major Leagues is already very clear. This is another major move for the team to develop the US market, and it is long-term.

Ye Qiu has to go and see whether it is New York or Miami in person to be sure.

In addition to these things about the team, Ye Qiu personally has a very important plan, which is to go to Harvard Business School in the United States to conduct an open class. This was agreed after receiving an invitation from Harvard Business School half a year ago. In this open class, he will focus on football, management and management.

This is also a public relations promotion event that Tottenham Hotspur attaches great importance to, because the team's head coach can appear on the podium of Harvard Business School as the head coach of the football team. This itself is a very important recognition and affirmation for Tottenham Hotspur. They cannot give up such an opportunity.

In terms of schedule, the team's first stop when they arrived in the United States was New York. The team's training camp was arranged in New York and the location was selected. During the team's training, Ye Qiu went to Harvard University to give a lecture. The team played the first warm-up match in Boston, and the opponent was AC Milan. This was another encounter between the two teams after the Champions League quarter-finals knockout match.

The opponents in the other warm-up matches are Ajax, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid.

After the four warm-up matches, the team will go to Qatar in the Middle East for a warm-up match, with the opponent being Alsade Club played by Raul. After that, the team will return to Europe to prepare for the Community Shield Cup and the Premier League in the new season.

It is worth mentioning that many Tottenham Hotspur players will participate in the Olympic Games this season, including Cavani, Ramsey, Kyle Walker, Phil Jones, Thiago Silva, Marcelo, Sandro and Neymar. In addition, Coutinho and Lucas Mora who are loaned to Southampton have also entered the Brazilian Olympic team's roster.

Ye Qiu has negotiated with the Football Associations of various countries. These players will participate in the team's summer training | They will only go to the National Olympic Team to report after the team returns from the United States. The specific time of return depends on the performance of the National Olympic Team they are in. Even if they reach the Olympic finals, they will miss the Community Shield Cup on August 11th.

As for the first round of the new Premier League season, on August 18, Tottenham Hotspur's first round opponent was away to challenge Newcastle.

Tottenham Hotspur suffered a lot last season at St James Park Stadium, and this season the team is visiting St James Park Stadium again. Whether Tottenham Hotspur can escape unscathed is still unknown.

This summer, after coaching for two seasons, Redknapp was dismissed by Paris Saint-Germain and replaced by famous coach Ancelotti. Fatty Ann was ambitious after coaching Newcastle and expressed his attitude to bring the Magpie into the second Tottenham Hotspur, not only to achieve outstanding results, but also to play the most gorgeous offensive football.

"The FA will hold a meeting the day after tomorrow, and it mainly discusses two things, one is youth training and the other is winter break," Peter Nian said to Ye Qiu.

Youth Training丨Reform, Ye Qiu is also one of the initiators. He and others called for small-field youth training for young players such as playing five-person football, or seven-person nine-person football. If the venue becomes smaller, players can use technical skills.

As for the winter break, this is already a topic that is always a yearly topic. Ye Qiu is not interested in this topic because he always feels that although there is no winter break in the Premier League, in fact, it is basically a cup competition in the early January, and even the whole month is the protagonist of the cup competition, and the most intense schedule is after Christmas.

Judging from the interests and the price paid, Ye Qiu believes that the winter break period is necessary, which is also the reason why people have mentioned the winter break period every year for so many years, but they have ended in vain every year.

"You can do this matter well." Ye Qiu shook his head and sighed. He had a lot of things. Peter Nian had just made up his own ideas for this kind of thing, and he had no need to interfere in it anymore.

So Ye Qiu signed several documents that required him to sign in Peter Nion's office, and stood up directly, "I have to go to Theoborde and meet Devithel. I hope our detective will not disappoint me this time."

Previously, Ye Qiu asked Peter De Visel and the scouting team to find a right-back. This time, Ye Qiu didn't give any other opinions except recommending De Silio from AC Milan, and gave the scouting team all the right to make the decision.

Therefore, Ye Qiu is also looking forward to what kind of report card they will give.
