As April comes, it is time for the monthly meeting again.

But this time the routine will be a little different, because Ye Qiu called all the major supervisors of Tottenham Hotspur’s administrative department to Theoborde and asked the senior management of the athletics department and the administrative department to sit together for a meeting, which increased the unusualness of this meeting, and everyone smelled some special breath.

According to the routine of the monthly meeting, we should make a summary first. Under Ye Qiu's instruction, Chief Operating Officer Ron Goulli took the lead in reporting on the team's operating and financial situation last month. Ye Qiu focused on asking him to introduce the progress of the Stratford Stadium in detail.

The renovation project of this stadium has been underway for six months. The main project has been basically completed. The next step is the decoration and facilities arrangement, and the construction period is even earlier than expected. It has to be said that the construction team from China has made a big splash this time.

The construction period is shorter than others, the cost is cheaper than others, and the quality is better than others, which is simply impeccable.

Of course, the construction can be so smooth, which is another reason, that is, Tottenham Hotspur has sufficient funds.

"I was just kidding Peter. If we could reach the Champions League final, maybe some member fans could be arranged to go to Stratford Stadium and use our huge LPD TV screen to broadcast the Champions League finals live, so that they can feel the shock and atmosphere."

Ron Gurley's proposal was supported by many people present. This proposal is good and a good warm-up suggestion, which is much more interesting than inviting strong teams to play a warm-up match before next season.

"When we reach the finals, and when the new stadium is finished," Ye Qiu also stopped the topic with a smile.

He has little interest in this topic based on two or even multiple hypothetical conditions.

Following Ron Gurley, Mauro Tassoti, as a senior executive of the competitive department, also summarized the performance of the team in the last month, mainly focusing on the Premier League and the Champions League. The current situation in the Premier League is still very unclear. Although Tottenham Hotspur has a five-point advantage, it still cannot relax.

As for the Champions League, after reaching the quarterfinals, he met Real Madrid, which is also a very difficult team.

Another point is specifically proposed by Mauro Tassoti, that is, the team should be careful of a kind of carelessness and slackness in the opponent, especially when the team performs well in the Premier League, this kind of emotion needs to be more vigilant.

Then Rick Link, as the director of the Youth Training Department, said a few words and briefly introduced the situation of the Youth Training.

This season, Tottenham Hotspur's youth team participated in the European Youth Champions League and performed well. They have also reached the quarterfinals knockout stage. The style of this team has continued to inherit Tottenham Hotspur's overall creative offensive football philosophy. Many young players, such as Januzai, have actually been familiar with fans. He has played many times in the cup.

But one thing worth mentioning is that the Tottenham Hotspur youth team is very open-minded, but it is not very consistent with the current first team. They tend to have delicate footwork skills and creativity, which makes their game very good. Every game has attracted countless fans to Theoborde to watch the game.

Some even say that Tottenham Hotspur’s youth team is more popular than the first team.

This is also an interesting phenomenon in the European Youth Champions League. It attaches more importance to technology and free play, and is more inclined to open offensive battles, so big score games are everywhere, and this event has also attracted more attention from fans and the media.

Mauro Tassoti is the current head coach of this youth team, and his coaching has also been recognized by many fans.

After the senior executives finished speaking, Ye Qiu said that he wanted to say something, so the conference hall of the first-team training building of Theobord became silent, and more than 20 Tottenham Hotspur executives were silent.

"As I mentioned to you before, if there is no accident, the next season will be my last season in coaching, so there are a lot of things and a lot of work that we need to prepare in advance."

Ye Qiu's opening remarks did not bring more sentimentality and separation. Although he no longer served as the team's head coach, he is still the team's chairman and boss. He is still the only owner of Tottenham Hotspur. He still works with everyone present and works hard together, but he no longer works in the front line.

Everyone present has basically known this decision and accepted it.

"First of all, it's the problem of successors." Ye Qiu sat on the chair. He didn't need to draw drafts. He had many colleagues present who had worked with him for six or seven years. He didn't need to be polite to draw drafts. Even if he said the wrong thing, it didn't matter. Just say it again.

"Mauro, there is no doubt that he will become Tottenham Hotspur's next head coach. This has been recognized and supported by the Athletics Department, the Executive Department and most people. Although it is not yet time for official announcement, there must be such a consensus within us."

Ye Qiu's words were nodded by everyone present. Tottenham Hotspur is a professional football club and does not do the kind of casual and temporary things. Choosing Mauro Tassoti is also considered from many aspects, such as from the professional field of football, from fans' feedback, and even from a business perspective.

As a great professional player, Mauro Tassoti has been an assistant coach in AC Milan for a long time. After coming to Tottenham Hotspur, he became famous. Everyone knows that Tottenham Hotspur’s current tactical system has made great contributions. After Ye Qiu retired, he would take the lead. That would be the most ideal thing.

"Here, I have to emphasize that fans are often easily deceived and deceived, but our management must remain calm and rational, and look at the problems that may arise objectively."

After a pause, Ye Qiu smiled, "It's like Barcelona, ​​from Guardiola to Biranova, from a professional perspective, is there any problem? There is no problem, Biranova is not necessarily worse than Guardiola, but why has Barcelona's competitiveness declined? Why do Barcelona's players give people a completely different situation from Guardiola's period?"

"Also" this question is a key issue that Ye Qiu wants to mention, and it is also an important issue that will arise after all peak teams take over. "Let's look at Manchester United again. I dare say that once Ferguson retires, Manchester United will experience huge turmoil. The deeper the impact Ferguson has on Manchester United, the greater this turmoil."

"Liverpool swept England and Europe in the 1980s. After two huge tragedies, neither affected the team's dominance in England, but why did Sones, the former Liverpool great star, collapse overnight after he took office to coach?"

Listening to Ye Qiu's words, many people present were thinking about this issue. Ye Qiu had also discussed this issue with Ferguson and many European football celebrities and veterans, and even Ye Qiu discussed this issue with Daglish. That is why Liverpool's previous succession was so different from Sones's succession this time?

There is no doubt that the two tragedies broke the cohesion of Liverpool, but the lineup left by Daglish, including John Barnes, Ian Rush, etc., was in his year of playing, and these players were all famous top stars in Europe at that time. With them, Liverpool's status at that time, this kind of turmoil should not have occurred.

Some people say that Sonez was too radical. He was eager to change everything in Liverpool. He was ambitious and wanted to make his mark on Liverpool, just like his player days. His ideas and directions of change were correct, but he was too anxious and too reckless, and he finally paid the most painful price.

Judging from the history of the entire European football world, Sones is definitely one of the most prodigal head coaches.

"Legality, this is Barcelona's Biranova, Manchester United Ferguson's successor, and the problems Sones encountered at the beginning. They lack the legitimacy of taking over the position of coach." Ye Qiu said the key point he wanted to say.

A country's ruling party needs legitimacy, and the head coach of a team also needs legitimacy.

It was as if Mourinho was in the first place when he entered Stamford Bridge Stadium, he was questioned overwhelmingly. Fans and media all used tinted glasses to pick on his every move, amplifying his mistakes countless times to accuse him of accusations. However, this time he entered the palace this time, the controversy he encountered was much smaller, and the reason was that it was legality.

Ye Qiu had just resigned, and the management couldn't wait to announce that Mourinho was on the stage. All the fans were not there. Because Ye Qiu did too well, the fans supported Ye Qiu too much and began to question the management's decision to force Ye Qiu away and choose Mourinho. So Mourinho lacked the recognition of fans and lacked a kind of legitimacy.

Without this legitimacy, no matter what you do, you will not be loved by the fans. If you win, they think it should be the credit of their ex. If you lose, they will start to bombard you, thinking that you are too incompetent and the head coach should be responsible.

But it's different to enter the palace. The previous head coaches were not very good, but Mourinho did a very good job in Inter Milan. Therefore, for many fans, Mourinho has gained a legitimacy to take over Chelsea.

The same was true of Liverpool back then.

As John Barnes said, when Sones first came on stage, the fans did not like him or accepted him because Daglish did a great job. As the head coach, Sones had to bear the rise and fall of the team. Because he lacked legality, once he lost the game, the fans would only aim the gunfire at Sones, not the players.

So what are the consequences of doing this?

That is, many players will not be criticized by fans, media and management because of their poor performance, so they will start to slack off and start to slack off. Anyway, if they perform poorly, they will not scold me. What are they afraid of?

This is a kind of human nature, some decisions a person will make subconsciously

"What I want to say is that in this case, the high or low level of coaching has become no longer important. What is important is that no matter what he does, he must be a loser."

This is why Guardiola finally rejected Ferguson. The answer is very simple. Even if he went to Manchester United, he would still be unable to escape the failure in the end because his ex was too brilliant and he lacked the legitimacy of taking over.

"The same thing, the same leader change, there are many cases in the world, both success and failure, but what I want to say today is that we must succeed, because once we fail, all the things we have worked hard to build over the past few years will be gone, and we have to start over again.

Ye Qiu's words are a warning to everyone present. It should be said that it is not a good job for anyone to take over Ye Qiu's work. On the contrary, it must be a chore. If Tottenham Hotspur's management does not realize this and blindly sending too high and too blind expectations for Ye Qiu's successor will only lead to failure in the end.

Mauro Tasotti sat next to Ye Qiu. He is now the top spot in the competitive department, second only to Ye Qiu. He did not expect that Ye Qiu would make such in-depth and thorough considerations for him. Perhaps this is not just for him, but also for Tottenham Hotspur, but these are enough to move Mauro Tasotti.

He must admit that football clubs are far from professional level in the handover shifts of many management teams, and they are even very impatient and lack the willingness to think deeply and analyze problems. For many football club managers, the head coach is like a socket.

Try it and use it if you can score a goal, and change it if you can't. It's very simple and very convenient.

But it is obvious that Ye Qiu's perspective on problems is not like this. He will analyze and view problems more comprehensively, professionally, and more in-depth, and even try to solve them.

Ferguson has recently begun to proudly say that he has left a team with rich experience in winning championships for his successors. He believes that after the successor comes up, he can only strengthen the team's part and have the ability to launch an impact on the league championship in the shortest time, so as to minimize the pain caused by the transfer of power.

But the problem Ferguson saw was only the surface. He only saw the team's lineup, but not the hearts of the people.

He stood on the edge of Old Trafford. The fans would not blame him for everything he did, even if it was wrong, but would blame the players who performed poorly. But if another head coach was replaced, they would need to prove themselves in front of Manchester United fans again. If everything they did, even if it was right, the players were screwed up, the fans would blame the coach for having problems, otherwise why Ferguson did it in the first place.

This pain can be short or long, but no matter what, the impact on the team will be fatal.

So now Ye Qiu not only wants to create the most relaxed environment for the succession of Mauro O Tassoti in the team's lineup structure, but also needs to give Mauro O Tassoti the best environment in other aspects, including the hearts of the people.

"Robert" Ye Qiu looked at news director Robert Milson, one of Tottenham Hotspur's three giants. After hearing Ye Qiu's shout, he nodded, "From the next season, all head coach's activities, including pre- and post-match press conferences, will be responsible for Mauro."

"Received" Robert Milson raised his right hand and signaled himself to understand, then smiled at Mauro Tasotti, indicating that he didn't have to worry, it was no big deal.

"In addition, pay attention to guiding fans in news publicity and promotion. You should understand what I mean and require."

Ye Qiu does not want to hear any doubts and doubts when Mauro Tassoti takes over a year later, but he cannot exaggerate it too much. Instead, he should look at some issues objectively and guide fans to support Mauro Tassoti.

"Understand" Robert O Milson nodded with a smile.

Tottenham Hotspur now has very strong news and public relations capabilities, because they have established very good cooperative relationships with many British and European newspapers. So as long as Tottenham Hotspur supports Mauro Tassoti, there will be no big problems in the media.

Of course, if the team's performance is too bad, that's another matter.

However, judging from Tottenham's current lineup, the team's performance is too bad. Basically, except for the player's strength issues, it must be that there is a problem with the player's mental state, so this aspect requires preparations.

For example, in the past period of time, Ye Qiu handed over the weekly communication with players to Mauro O Tassoti to take charge. This is a gradual way of handover. Because of this, the outside world has increasingly captured the strong signal of Mauro O Tassoti's successor.

"Sorry, Peter" Ye Qiu looked at Peter DeVisel, who is the head of the scouting department. "After thinking carefully, I decided to give up Fernandinho. He is too old and not suitable for us."

Devithel nodded, he knew very well what Ye Qiu and Mauro Tasotti asked.

"I want to reiterate that what we Tottenham Hotspur emphasizes and emphasizes is pioneering and enterprising, not standing in place and copying, because we must be very clear about the particularity of football. It is impossible for two completely identical players to be the same, so we cannot remain unchanged."

"From the past to the present, we have changed almost every year. Sometimes we have made changes that are irritating, and sometimes we have improved and repaired details, because we know very well that as long as we stop, our opponents can immediately restrain us."

"We played against the frontcourt and pressing and playing high-level defense. How long has it been? As long as the strong team in Europe are playing this game, it is a mess. Is it still fresh?"

So, for Ye Qiu, Mauro Tasotti and Tottenham Hotspur technicians, the next focus is not to find a second Pirlo to take over, because there is no second Pirlo in this world who is exactly the same.
Chapter completed!
