The speed of contract negotiations with Basturk and Bierovka was beyond Paratici's expectations. After learning and confirming that the club had agreed to Tottenham's offer for them, he was out of town. Bierovka and Basturkfen, who were on vacation, immediately entrusted their agents with full authority to discuss personal treatment with Paratici, and it took only one day to finalize all the details of the contract!
The reason why these two transfers are progressing so quickly is mainly because neither Basturk nor Bielovka want to continue playing for Leverkusen. After all, Leverkusen's sudden collapse last season and the move to sell team pillars such as Ballack and Ze Roberto to competitors made it impossible for Basturk to see the pharmaceutical company reappearing 01-02 The promise of a brilliant season. At the same time, after losing Ballack, the team preferred to trust Simak, a newcomer who had only played in the Bundesliga 2 before, and had no intention of turning him into the core of the midfield. This made the Turkish international very disappointed. Therefore, after learning that Tottenham Hotspur was interested in bringing him in, Basturk immediately made a decision.
Although Tottenham already have players such as Carrick and Redknapp who overlap with his position, Basturk is still confident that he can carve out a world at White Hart Lane with his ability. Just like when he joined Leverkusen two years ago, he insisted on becoming a member of the main lineup amid competition with Ballack, LaMelo, Schneider, Ze Roberto and others. .
The reason why Bierovka chose to leave the Bayer Arena is even simpler - in Leverkusen, as a newcomer, he simply couldn't get the same freedom as when he played in 1860 Munich!
In Munich 1860, the team leader is veteran Hasler. He encouraged Bierovka to use technology and breakthroughs to boldly disrupt the opponent's defense during the game. In Leverkusen, even if the pharmaceutical company at that time had lost two generals, Ze Roberto and Ballack, the position of team boss and core midfielder could not fall to Bierovka. , it is impossible for head coach Top Muller to leave behind meritorious players such as Schneider and let a newcomer take on this important task. The change in tactical status caused Bierovka's performance in the pharmaceutical factory this season to be disappointing. There was no trace of the left-field dribbling style when playing in 1860 Munich.
It was precisely because of his mediocre performance in Leverkusen last season that when Tottenham officially announced the arrival of Bielovka, neither Tottenham fans nor the British media had much reaction, but simply expressed a simple response to the arrival of the German. Welcome and treat it as an ordinary player transfer.
Regarding Tottenham's other signing, these people have a completely different attitude. After learning that the club signed Basturk, both fans and the media praised George's signing. Compared with the unlucky Bierovka, Basturk was one of the main players in Leverkusen's Sanya era. He also performed well in the 2002 World Cup in Korea and Japan, and his strength has already been recognized by people. recognized. If it weren't for Leverkusen's sudden collapse after the World Cup, Basturk might have even hoped to hit the top midfielder's throne.
Although most British fans dislike the Turks due to Leeds United's experience in Istanbul and the conflict between Beckham and Alpay, Basturk is an exception. Because unlike most players who come from Turkey's three largest domestic clubs, Basturk was born and raised in Bochum, Germany. It was only because of family connections that he obtained Turkish nationality and played for the Stars and Crescent Legion. Therefore, after learning this, British fans and media did not have much doubt about Basturk's arrival. Most of them lamented that George had been struggling for so long this summer, and finally got a deal that seemed pretty good. The contract was signed normally...
After successfully signing Basturk and Bierovka, so far, including the transfers of Nottingham Forest defender Michael Dawson and River Plate star Javier Mascherano, which were also completed at the same time, Tottenham’s first team The number of players has reached 22. Although there are still three players short of the stipulated upper limit of 25 players for the first team, Tottenham's current situation is much better than the previous dilemma where the first team could not even form a starting lineup.
"Thanks to all of you for your hard work this time." Looking at Marotta and others who had lost a lot of weight during this period, George, who realized that he was really too big this time, smiled sheepishly and expressed gratitude. Bowed to everyone present, "Next, please continue to work hard. Once these last few transfers are completed, I will give you a large bonus. Don't worry, the amount of this bonus is absolutely It will satisfy everyone.”
There is no more effective way to win the hearts of subordinates than generous rewards. Although this sentence was said by Saladin more than 800 years ago, George has always believed that this sentence is indeed very reasonable. After all, Marotta and the others came to work at Tottenham for personal development and better treatment, not to be Lei Feng. If they work so hard but don't get any extra benefits, it's only a matter of time before they move to other clubs.
You know, for most football clubs, it is extremely rare for Tottenham to replace almost an entire first-team lineup, with a signing list listing more than 20 candidate players. Therefore, after seeing that Marotta and others traveled to almost all of Europe in less than a month and completed most of the transfers in the plan, George naturally wanted to give them a generous bonus to use Reward them for their hard work during this time.
However, looking at the completion of this signing plan, George still felt quite regretful. Because he found that, with the exception of Basturk, most of Tottenham's other signings were future stars who were previously unknown or had just gained some fame. Players like the Turk who were already well-known chose to join Tottenham. Yes, it is really rare.
For example, Xabi Alonso and Kaka, who were also included in George's signing plan this time, are among the players. Faced with Tottenham's recruitment, these players chose to refuse without exception. Because in their view, joining Tottenham will not promote their careers much.
After all, Xavi Alonso's Real Sociedad had just had an almost crazy season. Only at the last moment was Real Madrid overtaken in the standings and finishing second in La Liga. Naturally, he would not do it since there is still a Champions League to play in this season. There is too much interest in joining Tottenham; and Kaká has already obtained a commitment from AC Milan through Leonardo, an intermediary, and is waiting to defect to San Siro this summer, and is even less likely to agree to Tottenham's invitation to join the White House. Deer Lane football.
It seems that before tangible results are achieved, Tottenham's main recruitment targets can only be those players who have not become famous, as well as veterans who are still young. Looking at the first-team roster and the completion of signings in his hand, George secretly made a decision in his heart.
"Boss, what are you talking about!" Marotta and others couldn't help being startled when they saw George saying this, and quickly stood up and returned the courtesy, "As employees of Tottenham, these tasks are originally within our scope. Things. If we can’t even complete these tasks, then what’s the point of hiring us for the club?”
Hearing George's promise to give them a large bonus, Walsh, Paratici and others were naturally extremely happy, feeling that their hard work during this period was really not in vain. So, after returning the gift, Marotta was the first to ask: "By the way, boss. Did you just say that there are still a few transfers to be completed? Why don't you send the task down quickly, and we will do it now. Save The nights were long and we had many dreams, and when we were about to take action, things happened again."
Although Marotta's words were high-sounding, in fact, they just wanted to see George fulfill his promise and get this bonus as soon as possible. But you can't say this out loud, as long as both parties know it well. Otherwise, it will only add to the embarrassment of both parties involved.
Seeing that Marotta and others in front of him were so positive, George, who understood what was going on, would not be so stupid as to reveal the matter. He turned around and took out some information that he had specifically asked the scouting department to collect, and named his latest transfer targets: "They are Italian center Luca Toni who plays for Brescia Club in Serie A; French winger Franck Ribery, who has been terminated by Alais Club and is currently a free agent; and Alvaro Arbeloa, the main right back of Real Madrid B team!"
"Giuseppe (Marotta), you have just returned from France and you should be familiar with the situation there. Therefore, the signing of Ribery will be left to you." Distribute the information of these target players to After everyone, George began to assign tasks, "Paratici, you are Italian, so it is up to you to talk to Brescia about Tony's transfer."
"Boss, then I will be responsible for the Aveiroa transaction?" Walsh asked hurriedly when he saw that Marotta and Paratici had been assigned tasks. He didn't want to see a situation where everyone else had something to do and he was left alone.
"No, Walsh, your task is to continue to organize people to collect player information across Europe and strive to establish a player database within the next year. After all, in this regard, our work at Tottenham is quite insufficient." Listen. When he heard what Walsh said, George shook his head and said, "As for the transfer of Aveiroa... I plan to go to Madrid in person. After all, there are some things that I want to talk to Florentino in person. .”
