The failure to win Xabi Alonso was undoubtedly a huge blow to the ambitious Benitez. You know, in the Spanish coach's vision, the former Real Sociedad midfielder is the most suitable candidate to serve as the core of Liverpool's organization. But now, Alonso is intercepted by Tottenham midway. How can this not make Benitez feel frustrated?
Although I was extremely frustrated, the work was done. Benitez could only watch as Tottenham came from behind, stole his favorite player, and devoted his attention to finding a replacement for Xavi Alonso.
"By the way, if Tottenham already have Basturk and Carrick in the midfield position, why are they still interested in Xavi Alonso?"
This is also the point that puzzles Benitez the most. Since he became interested in Xabi Alonso when he was coaching Valencia, although Benitez cannot guarantee that he knows all of Alonso's potential buyers, he can also guarantee that among them Definitely not Tottenham Hotspur. If Tottenham had sent someone to inspect Alonso before, then Benitez, who was still in Spain at the time, would have been able to get the relevant information, and he would not have been careless and lost to Tottenham almost unprepared. Cut off!
There was no problem with Benitez's news network, and Tottenham had indeed not sent anyone to Spain to inspect Alonso before. But the problem is that with the existence of George, a time traveler with past life memories, it actually doesn’t make much sense whether Tottenham will examine Alonso in advance - since they know that Alonso can adapt to the rhythm of the Premier League, they also know that With the Spaniard's strength, there is no need to investigate Alonso any more, so as not to alert others and make other teams interested in Alonso wary.
The existence of George as a variable and his approach made Benitez mistakenly believe that no one would compete with him for Alonso at this time, which resulted in an ending that the Spanish coach regretted greatly.
"Could it be that Tottenham planned to sell Basturk or Carrick in the summer, so they suddenly made a move to bring in Alonso and prepare in advance for their possible departure?"
After pondering for a long time, Benitez finally found a reason for Tottenham's unusual move. After coming to this conclusion, Benitez immediately came up with an idea - since you took away Alonso, I will poach Carrick or Basturk, and so on. Can strengthen Liverpool!
With this idea in mind, Benitez made tentative offers to Carrick and Basturk, preparing to test his guess-if Tottenham's intention to introduce Alonso was really If it is to prepare for the departure of Carrick or Basturk, then he can take the opportunity to recruit one of them from Tottenham as Alonso's replacement.
In Benitez's view, although Carrick and Basturk's overall view and command ability are not as outstanding as Xabi Alonso, they can still be regarded as first-rate. Therefore, using these two people to replace Alonso's vacancy is not a loss in Benitez's eyes.
However, the news that subsequently came from London gave Benitez a chill - Tottenham regretfully stated that they had no intention of selling Carrick or Basturk to Liverpool. Moreover, Carrick has accepted the contract provided by Manchester United, and the deal will be completed only when the summer transfer window opens!
With Carrick already determined to leave the team, Tottenham will naturally not let go of Basturk. Otherwise, Tottenham will have to find another reliable rotation player for Alonso, which is obviously a result Tottenham does not want to see.
In addition, facing the olive branch extended by Benitez, Basturk had no intention of being tempted. The Turk is not stupid. He knows that his physical condition is not suitable for being the absolute main force in a fiercely competitive league like the Premier League. Becoming a rotation player is the most suitable choice for him.
Since the salary at Tottenham is no worse than that of the main players of those Premier League teams, and there are still games to play, which will not put too much strain on the body, and the team's performance and development prospects are also quite good, then why should we accept Liverpool? invitation? With this view in mind, Basturk refused Liverpool's solicitation without hesitation.
I hate this kind of private transaction that is not open to the public! After learning that Tottenham and Manchester United completed Carrick's transfer deal without saying a word, and that Basturk also rejected his solicitation, Benitez could be said to be full of resentment at this time. In his opinion, if Tottenham and Manchester United did not operate Carrick's transfer deal secretly, but made the news public, then Liverpool still has a high hope of grabbing Carrick from Manchester United.
To be honest, Benitez did overestimate Liverpool's appeal to players this time. For Xabi Alonso, after he has proven that he can gain a foothold on a higher stage, but is unable to display his talents in the European competition due to the relationship with the team he plays for, he can participate in the European competition next season. Liverpool in the UEFA Cup has a huge attraction for the Spanish midfielder. However, even so, when Tottenham Hotspur, who had a Champions League berth, intervened in the transfer, Xavi Alonso gave up on Liverpool without hesitation and chose to accept the offer provided by George. contract.
Not to mention Carrick. Although this local midfielder is still not as famous as Lampard and Gerrard, he has also won the League Cup and FA Cup with Tottenham this season, and even finished second in the league. Therefore, even if Carrick wants to transfer, he will give priority to Manchester United, which is more famous and has Champions League games to play, instead of Liverpool, which has failed to win a league championship in more than ten years.
Although Benitez felt quite unwilling to bring in Xabi Alonso and Carrick after their attempts to bring in Xavi Alonso and Carrick failed, he was unlikely to go to the FA or UEFA to complain, saying Tottenham and Manchester United intercepted the players he wanted to introduce. If Benitez really does such a thing, then he and Liverpool will become the laughing stock of European football.
You know, transfer transactions are based on their own abilities. If you want to get your favorite player, you must concentrate on this deal. And what about Benitez? The Spanish coach knew that Xabi Alonso was the key figure he used to transform Liverpool, but he was confused by Owen's insistence on leaving and the temptation of Robbie Keane. He thought that no one would take a fancy to this season. Alonso, who performed mediocrely, hastily focused on the transfer of Robbie Keane!
The result of Benitez's actions was that Alonso was intercepted by Tottenham midway, and his carefully formulated team-building plan around Alonso was completely disrupted! Mobile phone users please browse and read for a better reading experience.
