Two games, one draw and one loss, this is the report card handed over by George Nelson and his two teachers in the first round of this season. Although it does seem that they are a bit unable to take action, don't forget that Tottenham lost against Newcastle because of Shearer's controversial penalty kick, and when they played against Manchester United, they led the entire game. Solskjaer scored the goal in the last minute, and then lost the victory that was about to be won. Therefore, considering the above two points, the report card handed over by Tottenham is not so unacceptable.
However, the British media, who are afraid of the world being in chaos, obviously will not consider the issue from this aspect. They will only seize on the topic of Tottenham's two consecutive league defeats and make a big fuss on this basis. In the writings and reports of these media, Tottenham Hotspur, which has only lost two games in the league so far, and conceded only 13 goals, is now in decline, as if any goal is lost. The team can press Tottenham on the ground and rub it!
Compared with the British media who are talking about Tottenham's two consecutive league defeats, Tottenham fans seem much calmer at this time. Although the team has performed poorly in the past two league rounds, they have not expressed any dissatisfaction. After all, compared with previous seasons, Tottenham's performance this season has given fans quite a surprise.
With seventeen rounds of the league having ended, Tottenham are currently ranked fourth in the standings with nine wins, six draws, two losses and 33 points. There is great hope of getting a pass at the end of this season. Tickets to the European Champions League. Because there is a full eight-point gap between Newcastle and Tottenham, currently ranked fifth in the league, so even if the Magpies want to catch up, it is not something that can be done immediately.
Moreover, although Tottenham's league ranking remains unchanged compared to the previous rounds, and its results in the past two rounds have also been somewhat sluggish, the point difference between Tottenham and the top three teams is not so large that it is out of reach. the point. Even Manchester United, currently at the top of the standings, only has 38 points.
Although George said on the day he announced his move to White Hart Lane that he would lead Tottenham out of the trough since the 1990s and become the top club in Europe, Tottenham fans never expected that they would actually The glimmer of hope can be seen so soon - to be honest, after seeing the club's various moves in the summer transfer market, they all thought it would take at least three years or so for the team to join the championship group. , only ten years later can we consider becoming a top wealthy club.
While the British media was hyping up the fact that Tottenham were about to be beaten back to their original shape, and Tottenham were calmly responding, George was welcoming a special "guest" in his office at the Tottenham club headquarters.
"Adele, this time the action plan was completed so smoothly, thanks to your help!" In the office, George looked at the girl with the same hair color as him with a smile on his face, " You are indeed my sister, tell me, what reward do you want this time?"
Adele Nelson, this was the name of the girl with long bright golden hair sitting in front of George. Five years younger than George, she has now received a master's degree in economics from Columbia University, and a few days ago, she helped George complete a task that he had been planning for a long time - completely turning Parma Club into a club. Become a satellite club of Tottenham Hotspur!
George has naturally coveted Parma, which is known for cultivating young players, and its youth training system that has contributed countless outstanding stars, but it is not easy to win this club completely. You must know that at this time, Parmalat, the company that controlled the Parma Club, was in a serious financial crisis and needed to sell Parma's players in exchange for much-needed liquidity. Therefore, if George chooses to acquire Parma at this time, the cost and price will be quite huge.
Moreover, in the complex Italian football world, if the news that Parma is in crisis is leaked, I don’t know how many powerful people will rush out immediately and take the opportunity to carve up and dismember the youth training system that Parma has spent more than ten years building. Therefore, in George's initial plan, he originally planned to wait until Parmalat's financial problems broke out in December and take the opportunity to acquire the company that was in financial crisis, and in this way complete full control of Parma.
However, when George really intervened in the matter, he was shocked to find that Parmalat's financial problems were much more serious than he had imagined - according to the investigation, Parmalat's debts were not at all what was claimed 40 billion euros, but an even more terrifying 14.3 billion euros!
This change instantly disrupted all George's arrangements. In George's vision, he originally planned to use the profits he made from short-selling Parmalat shares in the futures market to acquire Parmalat. As a result, he now discovered that compared with Parmalat's tens of billions of euros of debt, the income he gained from shorting stocks was not enough to fill his teeth!
In this way, George's acquisition of Parma Club reached a deadlock. Because Parmalat is in an extremely difficult financial situation, it will definitely not give up a cash cow like Parma. If George wants to acquire Parma now, he will definitely be severely slaughtered by the other party; and if he waits until Parmalat goes bankrupt, he will take action. , I am afraid that by that time, all the assets belonging to Parma have been divided up by those powerful people.
And if he just gave up the acquisition of Parma, George would be a little unwilling. Excluding the sentimental factors towards Parma in his previous life, this Serie A club will play a very important role in George's plan on Tottenham's road to the top giants. After all, for a club like Parma that can be fully controlled (Germany does not allow private ownership of more than 49% of the club's shares) and has European competition to compete in (think of those young players who are famous but have missed the European competition for years), it is okay. There are really not many options for casting a net around the world (Atletico Bilbao, which only brings in players of Basque descent).
The most important thing is that Italy has always attached great importance to cultivating players' defensive and tactical qualities, and Parma, which is good at cultivating young players, is naturally one of the best. Therefore, for Tottenham, which is seriously lacking in these two aspects, Parma is undoubtedly an excellent supplement!
Just when the acquisition was in a dilemma, Adele took the initiative to take over the task from George, and spent less than $100 million to buy all of Parma from Parmalat. shares, turning this Serie A club into another asset of Trafalgar Company.
Of course, in order to prevent UEFA from investigating or even obstructing the acquisition in the name of obstructing fair play, Adele specifically arranged for cross-holding between a number of subsidiaries and affiliated companies controlled by Trafalgar Company and Parma. This extremely complex approach completed the acquisition of Parma Club.
"Well~ let me think about it~" Adele tapped her cheek thoughtfully with her slender white fingers and said, "Why don't you let me be the CEO of Tottenham Hotspur~ It just so happens that I just got a master's degree in economics from Columbia University, and being the CEO of Tottenham Hotspur will allow me to practice my skills and accumulate work experience~"
"This is impossible." George shook his head and resolutely rejected the girl's request. "If you are asked to be the CEO of Tottenham, what will Marotta do? If you fire this person who was personally invited by me for this reason. White Hart Lane, as a CEO who has only been in office for less than half a year, your brother and I will become the laughing stock of fans all over the world. Besides, if you want to gain work experience, you can go to Trafalgar Company to help John. There is no need to come here to steal Marotta’s job.”
"Hey~" Seeing George's firm refusal, Adele let out an unhappy cry. She knew that she would definitely not be able to change the other person's mind: "Then just as you said, brother, I will take a job at Trafalgar Company in a while~"
"By the way, just think of this as your reward for getting a master's degree from Columbia University and helping me win Parma." Seeing Adele puffing up her cheeks and making an "I'm not happy" expression, George quickly He took out a card from his arms and put it on the table. "Within two months, you can use this card as you like, and you don't have to worry about repayment."
"Huh~ I don't believe what you say~" The girl raised her head and responded to George's flattery in a rather arrogant manner. Her long golden hair became more dazzling under the reflection of a few rays of sunlight, and she stretched out her hair quickly. She took action and held the card that George placed on the table in her hand, "However, seeing how sincere you are, brother, I will reluctantly accept the card you gave me this time. This gift is ready~”
Adele recognized at a glance that the credit card George handed her was the World Card issued by Coutts Bank. This is a credit card that only Coutts customers with a net worth of more than millions of pounds and a sufficiently outstanding social status and family background are eligible to apply. In addition to enjoying all travel upgrades and luxury services, cardholders can even Go shopping at your favorite department store at midnight!
Therefore, for Adele, George's reward is not cheap. After all, holding this World Card issued by Coutts Bank itself is a symbol of identity and status, and it is not comparable to the black card issued by American Express that can be obtained as long as you have money. But George was willing to lend her this card, which was enough to prove his love and care for Adele.
"Hey, I obviously said I would lend it to you for two months, so why did it turn into a gift for you?" He looked at his sister with a nonchalant expression on her face, but quickly took away the credit card. , George said pretending to be depressed. But the smile on his face clearly showed that George didn't take this matter to heart at all.
"Hey~ Bro, you are so stingy." Although she knew in her heart that the other party didn't care at all, this did not prevent Adele from continuing to complain about George, "By the way, bro, Christmas is coming soon, you should Don’t you still plan to go home alone for the holidays?”
