After arriving in Turin, the Tottenham team just conducted some field acclimatization training before returning to the hotel where they stayed. After all, the arrangements that should be made have been emphasized many times by George before the team departed from London, and they have also been practiced several times during training. Naturally, there is no point in demonstrating these arrangements in front of the opponents.
George didn't believe that Juventus would not send someone to spy on him while he was undergoing field adaptation training. You know, Moggi and Capello are not upright characters, and they will definitely try their best to increase Juventus' chances of winning. Therefore, since there is an opportunity in front of them to spy on Tottenham's intelligence at close range, of course they will not let it go easily.
While the players all returned to the hotel to rest, George and Adele quietly left the team's residence and headed to No. 32 Ferraris Street, where the Juventus club headquarters is located!
The reason why George secretly visited Juventus headquarters on the eve of the same game was naturally not to engage in any private transactions or secret operations with Capello, but because he was invited by Juventus general manager Luciano Moggi - in Before leaving for Turin, Moji made a special call to George and said that he had something important to discuss with him in person!
That's why George chose to come to Juventus headquarters at this sensitive time. Because after this game, the Tottenham team will return to London overnight to prepare for the eighth round of the Premier League that will be held three days later. As the team's head coach, George naturally had to leave Turin with the team and had no time to discuss matters with Moggi.
As for George going to Juventus headquarters in person instead of Moggi himself going to the Tottenham hotel, it was mainly for the purpose of confidentiality. You know, although George has booked the entire hotel this time as the team's temporary residence for this trip to Turin, so that the players can get a better rest before the game, the staff in the hotel are not enthusiastic. Stingy employees can easily leak things to the outside world that should be kept strictly confidential under temptation. If a reporter takes the opportunity to pretend to be a staff member and sneak into the hotel, then the news of Moggi's late-night visit to George will probably be published on the front pages of major European sports newspapers!
Although George will definitely not cheat in the game, if the three of them become a tiger and are so publicized by the media, he and Tottenham will inevitably fall into an embarrassing situation where they can't argue. How easy is it to clarify the facts?
In comparison, Juventus headquarters is much safer. At least neither George nor Moggie had to worry about the walls having ears and making what they planned to discuss public. Therefore, George's move can be said to be justifiable, and it is not at all an act of lowering one's own worth or raising Moji's status.
"Manager Moji, what is going on this time that requires an interview with me?" After a brief courtesy, George immediately brought the conversation to the main topic. After all, tomorrow is the day to play against Juventus. If you don't take a good rest tonight to recuperate, then it will only be Tottenham that suffers.
"That's it, Mr. Viscount." Seeing George being so eager, Moji, who wanted to chat with him for a while, wisely gave up his plan of going around in circles, "I plan to sign Colombian forward Romedal Fall from Monaco. Kao, I wonder if Mr. Viscount can agree to my request?"
Although Moggi made a series of transactions in the summer transfer market that shocked the entire European football world, such as trading No. 3 goalkeeper Carlini for Italian national team captain Cannavaro and poaching Carlo Cannavaro from rival Roma. The three generals of Perot, Zebina and Emerson, and through the deal with George, they acquired two powerful players in De Jong and Heitinga, which greatly improved the Bianconeri's combat effectiveness, but this does not mean that Now this Juventus team is impeccable - the height of Cannavaro and Thuram, the ups and downs of Zebina, and only two reliable players in Del Piero and Trezeguet are available on the front line. All the dilemmas require Moji to further make up for and improve.
Therefore, Moji took the initiative to approach George and asked him if he could bring in Falcao from Monaco. After being severely taught by George in the summer, Moji had clearly realized that Monaco and Tottenham There must be some extremely subtle relationship between them. In other words, if you want to deal with Falcao, the first problem that must be solved is not how to satisfy Monaco's appetite, or how to convince the player himself, but to seek the consent of George Nelson, the real head of Monaco!
"...Manager Moji, do you want to introduce Falcao?" Hearing Mo Old Fox's request, George couldn't help but raised his eyebrows, feeling a little surprised. To be honest, it was somewhat beyond George's expectation that Juventus could take a fancy to this Colombian tiger who had just landed in French Ligue 1 less than half a year ago - he originally thought that Moggi was going to play well in Parma this time. What about Gilardino and Marchionni who are in trouble.
"That's right." Moura Fox nodded and said in an extremely affirmative tone, "After careful inspection, I believe that Falcao is very suitable, and Tottenham, which is full of talents, does not need Falcao at all now. So. , I hope Mr. Viscount that you can bear the pain and give up. As for the transfer fee, we will definitely offer Falcao a figure that satisfies you!"
In Moggi's view, as long as Tottenham does not include Falcao as a key training target, Juventus has a high possibility of acquiring the Colombian striker to strengthen the increasingly weakened striker!
"This matter is not easy to handle..." George rubbed his chin with an embarrassed expression on his face, "Manager Moggi, I believe you should know very well that Falcao only joined Monaco this summer, and his performance there It’s also quite good. If we sell him during the winter window, I’m afraid it will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble for us.”
"Twelve million euros, a one-time payment." At this point, Mo Lao Fox gritted his teeth and made another additional condition, "In addition, when Falcao's total number of goals at Juventus reaches When we are twenty, we will make an additional payment of five million euros!”
"Well, the price is indeed fair." George was quite satisfied with Moggi's offer. "But I hope that Falcao's transfer can wait until the end of this season to be officially completed... I don't want to see it. You see, Monaco’s record plummeted after losing their main striker.”
"Deal!" Moji quickly agreed to George's request. In Mo Laoxu's view, Falcao undoubtedly has the ability to become a top forward. Being able to steal food from George's tiger's mouth at this price is already quite an advantage!
After George and Moggi reached an initial consensus on the deal, the second round of the group match between Tottenham Hotspur and Juventus finally started on time at the Alpi Stadium at 5 pm the next day!
