In fact, the tactical revolution in team football has already shown some signs as early as the mid-to-late 1990s. For example, Kaiserslautern created the miracle of the newly promoted team winning the championship and won the championship under Cooper and Benitez. Similar traces can be seen in Valencia, which is at its peak under the coach, and Porto, which magically won the Champions League this season.
However, due to the influence of the general football environment at that time, the media and fans were more willing to attribute the success of these teams to one or a few outstanding stars, believing that their existence made this set of tactics and their achievements possible. The team they play for, not the tactics laid out by the head coach, makes them who they are. For example, Kaiserslautern is Sforza and Marshall, Valencia is Mendieta and Vincent, Porto is Deco and Carvalho... Without them, these teams would not have achieved such outstanding results. , let alone win the championship trophy.
However, Greece's success in this European Cup is undoubtedly a very serious blow to this argument. Especially when Greece, led by Rehagel, once again defeated the host Portugal in the final and won the Delaunay Cup, the impact on European football was no less than that of Michel more than thirty years ago. The moment when Si introduced the total offense and total defense theory!
It turns out that as long as there is a suitable set of tactics and the team is united, the team can win the championship even if there are no top stars in the team. This is the common sentiment of all the head coaches after witnessing the real-life version of the Greek myth played out at this European Cup.
In this way, as Greece finally won the European Cup, a storm of tactical reform was inevitable. And Tottenham, led by George, has long been at the forefront of this reform!
Although the final championship trophy became the possession of the Greeks, in this European Cup, the major football powers also saw their new hope through actual combat, such as Spain's Torres, the Netherlands' Robben, Italy's Cap Sano, Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo, England's Rooney and Germany's Lahm, etc. Although these players failed to help their country win the championship trophy in this European Cup, the potential they showed in the European Cup has been recognized by people, and they are regarded by fans from all over the world as the future pillars of each national team. !
What surprises people the most is that many of these future stars who have shined in the European Cup have already become Tottenham Hotspur's bag!
Not to mention anything else, just talking about the teams that have entered the semi-finals of this European Cup, Czech national goalkeeper Petr Cech, Portuguese supernova Cristiano Ronaldo, and Dutch Peter Pan Alger Robben have become trustworthy players. Tenham Hotspur players. You know, these are the three best young players from these three teams in this European Cup, and Tottenham can take them into account at the same time. Does this mean that Tottenham Hotspur, which has acquired these young blood, is very likely to become another top giant in English football after Manchester United?
To explain here, George has never believed that Arsenal and Liverpool before Benitez were worthy of the title of top giants. After all, although the former has played brilliantly against Manchester United on the league battlefield over the years, he is an outsider in foreign wars in the European war and has no impressive results at all; while the latter has continued to win the "Five Crowns" in 2001. Having missed the Champions League for two seasons, the brands of top clubs are also shaky.
In addition, players born in the 1980s such as Ledley King and Xabi Alonso also participated in this European Cup with the team. Although they are young and did not get many playing opportunities in this competition, their abilities have obviously been recognized by their respective national team coaches - otherwise, how could they be brought to the European Cup, which represents Europe? At the highest level of football?
Therefore, it can be said that Tottenham is already ahead of most European clubs in terms of team renewal and team rejuvenation!
Just when people were lamenting that Tottenham Hotspur had grown into a club that should not be underestimated under the leadership of George Nelson and had taken the initiative in future development, the summer transfer gate for the 2004-05 season It has also been quietly opened!
As soon as the summer transfer window opened, Tottenham, who had done relevant work early, immediately announced a series of signings that had been finalized before. They also announced Robbie Keane, Michael Carrick and Gabriel Hay. Due to the departure of these three generals!
Tottenham's series of moves in the transfer market immediately detonated European football, which was somewhat deserted due to the sluggish economic situation. Whether they are Tottenham Hotspur fans or not, they are all discussing these transfers with interest at this time, wondering whether George will make bigger moves next!
As for Redknapp Jr. and Poyet, who announced their retirement at the same time, since they had already announced after the end of last season’s Premier League that they would end their playing careers at the end of the season, except for some nostalgic veterans, Except for the fans who were sighing, others didn't have much reaction to this. In other words, they were all focused on Tottenham's moves in the transfer market and had no intention of dealing with these two outdated veterans.
Unlike Tottenham, other clubs have been a little slow in taking action due to the European Cup, but they will never let Tottenham dominate. No, not long after the European Cup ended, Real Madrid, which lost all four majors last season, announced a blockbuster deal, which suddenly drew people's attention from London to the Spanish capital!
Michael Owen, the striker ace of the England national team, winner of the 2001 European Footballer of the Year, and Liverpool star, officially announced his joining Real Madrid on this day. And Owen's transfer fee is only 12 million euros!
Liverpool fans are naturally extremely dissatisfied with Owen's low-price transfer to Real Madrid. Of course, what they are dissatisfied with is not that the club sold Owen, who is the number one star, but that Owen played a disgraceful role in the transfer - as a top star from Liverpool's youth training, he has only one year left on his contract. In order to realize the purpose of transferring to Real Madrid, Owen publicly announced early that he would not renew his contract with Liverpool and took the initiative to help Real Madrid lower the price. This caused Liverpool to fall into a very passive situation during the negotiation process. In the end, they only exchanged their own star players. A mere 12 million euros.
Not to mention how people will evaluate Irving's choice, after the young boy announced his transfer to Real Madrid, the Galactico battleship created by Florentino has undoubtedly become the most famous in European football. The team with the greatest influence and second-to-none commercial value!
However, George obviously has no intention of stealing the spotlight from Real Madrid. Not only because Tottenham are not yet capable of competing with top clubs like Real Madrid, but also because Tottenham's current first team has been basically saturated and there is not much room to make adjustments. In this way, George will have no need to continue to take action in the transfer market!
In this way, when various clubs were gearing up and preparing to show their talents in the transfer market, George, who had completed the most important part of the summer signing plan, asked Marotta and others to continue completing the remaining parts of the signing plan. , while at the urging of Adele, he began to consider a suggestion from the British royal family!
