Although before this, George had instructed John Smith to do a good job of causing trouble for Arsenal and delaying Arsenal's construction progress in the new stadium as much as possible, making the Arsenal club's financial situation more severe than in its previous life. At the same time, his legal team has also sued Vieira, taking the Frenchman to court, which will require him to travel back and forth between the training ground and the court in the next few months. However, these actions have not completely eliminated the pain in George's heart. anger.
Everyone has a temper. Although he was thinking about the overall situation at the time, George did not beat Vieira into a pig's head immediately, and he did not get angry at Wenger's denial and confusion of right and wrong at the post-match press conference, but this does not mean that George will I have to swallow these actions at Arsenal. At this point, arranging for John Smith and his legal team to take action is the most powerful evidence that George wants to retaliate against Arsenal!
Therefore, when Abramovich proposed that Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur form an alliance to fight Arsenal together, George, who was thinking about how to "repay" Arsenal in the next step, almost agreed without hesitation. Come down!
The reason why George readily agreed to Abramovich's proposal for the alliance was not only because of these "private grudges" between him and Arsenal, but also because kicking Arsenal out of the London team's boss position would be a huge blow to Chelsea. For Tottenham Hotspur, it is also an extremely necessary thing!
After all, the whole cake is only so big. The more Arsenal gets, the less will be left for Chelsea and Tottenham. Therefore, only by pulling Arsenal down from the top of this pyramid will Chelsea and Tottenham have the opportunity to further expand their influence. Moreover, if Chelsea and Tottenham cannot equal or even surpass Arsenal in their home base of London, then how can they talk about dominating the Premier League and even European football?
Therefore, it is very necessary to team up with Abramovich to deal with Arsenal at this time. After all, although with the support of two billionaires, George and Abramovich, Tottenham and Chelsea are financially strong enough to crush the Gunners, but in terms of prestige and appeal to top players, Tottenham and Chelsea at this time are stacked together. Can't compete with Arsenal!
As for how to deal with Arsenal, George, who has memories of his past life, has already made plans in his mind.
"George, are you saying that in order for our two clubs to catch up with Arsenal as soon as possible and become recognized as a giant club in English football, the most important thing is that the team must win a championship trophy of sufficient weight?" As a layman in the football field, Abramovich naturally attaches great importance to the opinions of George, an insider.
"Yes, that's it. If you want to become a wealthy club, it is absolutely impossible without a championship trophy." Looking at Abramovich's questioning eyes, George nodded and said, "However, in the pursuit of the championship trophy In the process, we can also do some things that kill two birds with one stone. For example, poach the main players of our competitors, intercept their transfer targets, and use these players to strengthen our lineup."
"I see, I understand." After listening to George's opinion, Abramovich couldn't help but remember that Kenyon had said the same thing to him before, "Then, the main goal of our two families is to dismantle Arsenal's current situation. The main lineup, and poach their players to our banner, thereby completing the dual tasks of strengthening the team and attacking competitors?"
As for what George said about cutting off competitors' recruiting targets, Abramovich said he had been doing this for a long time. If nothing else, Damien Duff is the most typical example. You know, before Chelsea intervened and brought Duff to Stamford Bridge, the Irish winger was the number one candidate in Ferguson's eyes to replace Beckham, who was about to leave the Theater of Dreams!
"Sorry, I'm afraid I can't act with you in this regard, Roman." At this point, George spread his hands and made a helpless gesture, "The relationship between Chelsea and Arsenal is more They are competitors, so you won’t have too many problems bringing in Arsenal players. But Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal, which I control, are sworn enemies. If I take action to bring in Arsenal players , then I’m afraid Tottenham fans will have objections.”
Although George can follow the example of Manchester City in his previous life and use high salaries to lure Arsenal players to Tottenham, this will inevitably break the existing salary structure of Tottenham and bring unnecessary turmoil to the locker room. Moreover, Tottenham fans may not welcome these stars who have transferred from their rivals, no matter how capable and famous they are.
You know, Campbell moved from White Hart Lane to Highbury on a free agency two years ago, which aroused the disgust of fans on both sides. Until now, Campbell, who has won a league title and two FA Cup titles for the Gunners, has not been recognized by Arsenal fans. With Campbell's experience, Arsenal players will naturally not consider joining Tottenham, which is such a big deal. After all, since Campbell can only receive such treatment after making great contributions to Arsenal, then I am afraid that the situation will not be much better if Arsenal players transfer to Tottenham.
Therefore, George's decision is to increase the financial burden on Arsenal in this life and at the same time mobilize more teams to participate in the rush to buy Arsenal's player supermarket, allowing Arsenal to withdraw from the championship earlier than in previous lives. The team's ranks have turned into the "Fighting Four Devils" from the previous life!
Although in this way, Arsenal can raise enough funds by selling players to repay bank loans and build a new stadium, greatly reducing their financial burden, in fact, George has no intention of delaying the construction of the new stadium. He wants to kill Arsenal, and he has no intention of making this stadium completely unrepairable. After all, this itself is an unrealistic thing.
You must know that a new stadium, especially Arsenal's home stadium, can bring huge economic benefits to the local area and surrounding areas, so the local council and the London City Government will approve this construction plan. Therefore, the construction of the new stadium can be postponed, but it must not become an unfinished project. Once Arsenal is really in trouble, these institutions will definitely jump out to help Arsenal.
On the other side, after listening to George's explanation, Abramovich, who learned that Arsenal was already financially stretched at this time, nodded repeatedly while expressing his regret that Tottenham could not help carve up Arsenal with Chelsea. In fact, Abu was already feeling happy. As a businessman, he naturally knew that poaching the backbone of competitors to strengthen himself was a matter of killing two birds with one stone. Now that Tottenham can't poach Arsenal's corners with them, doesn't this mean that Chelsea can enjoy Arsenal's fragrant cake alone?
No permanent friends, only permanent interests. What Abu was thinking at this moment was exactly the truest portrayal of this famous saying.
Seeing this, some people may ask, why did Abramovich not come forward to find George until now and discuss with him about joining forces to deal with Arsenal? If the two clubs can reach an alliance in the summer, then Arsenal may have been poached by Abramovich by now.
The reason is very simple. On the one hand, it was because Tottenham was still regarded as a mid-to-lower team at the time, and Abramovich did not feel that an alliance with Tottenham would bring much help to Chelsea; on the other hand, it was because he had just taken over Chelsea at the time. Abu believes that his financial resources are enough for the Blue Army to dominate England, and there is no need to find any allies. However, the reality is that the Chersky team he spent a lot of rubles to build is actually not as good as Tottenham, who invested less than them. Therefore, Abramovich, who has been educated by reality, approached George, hoping to join forces with Tottenham against Arsenal.
In this way, after providing Abramovich with an idea for Arsenal's rapid rise by poaching Arsenal, George returned to the training ground with a verbal agreement with Abramovich and continued to lead the team into intense preparations.
Abramovich acted very quickly. The day after George made this suggestion, the Times published a piece of news claiming that Chelsea intended to introduce Arsenal captain and French iron midfielder Patrick Vieira for a transfer fee of 40 million pounds. !
Hum, let’s see how Wenger parries Chelsea’s hoe this time. Looking at the detailed report in The Times, George could already imagine how tangled Wenger was feeling at the moment.
However, before George could be happy about forming an alliance with Abramovich and achieving initial results, Tottenham suffered their first defeat since the start of the season in the thirteenth round of the Premier League over the weekend - —At White Hart Lane, Tottenham Hotspur were defeated by Aston Villa who came from afar!
Although George made many adjustments during the game, the huge consumption caused by the fierce battle with Arsenal still made the entire Tottenham team feel tired - for young and lack of stability Tottenham players For example, although one week is enough for their physical condition to return to normal levels, there is no way for them to return to their mental and competitive state to the state before the derby game.
As a result, facing the not-so-strong Aston Villa, Tottenham, playing at home, finally encountered Waterloo. The league's twelve consecutive unbeaten rounds came to an abrupt end, and they were also defeated in the standings this round. Arsenal and Manchester United, who both won, have distanced themselves!
So far, among the twenty teams participating in the 2003-04 Premier League season, only Arsenal has remained undefeated. And this has naturally become another reason for Arsenal fans to mock Tottenham - so what if they tied with us in the last round? It’s not our Arsenal that currently occupies the top spot!
After this defeat, Tottenham Hotspur, with 26 points from 13 games, seven wins, five draws and one loss, has fallen to Chelsea, who also won this round of the league (nine wins, two draws and two losses, with 29 points). ) behind him, he fell to fourth place in the standings!
