Is this considered karma? Seeing that Moggi traveled all the way from Turin to London this time, just to sign Frank Ribery from him, George couldn't help but secretly smile in his heart.
It was only then that George noticed it belatedly. It turns out that just as he was planning to poach players from other clubs to further strengthen Tottenham's lineup, other teams were also eyeing the opportunity to carve up these high-quality assets of Tottenham!
In fact, this is the reason behind why Luca Toni and Robbie Keane chose to transfer and leave the team this summer. It's just that most of these players were not in George's long-term plans at the time, so they did not attract George's attention.
The current situation is completely different. Franck Ribery, Robben and Cristiano Ronaldo are the best candidates in George's mind to control Tottenham's two wings in the next five to eight years. George, who has memories of his past life, knows that there will never be more than five players of his generation who are as capable as Ribery and others!
It can be said that as long as the three of them are in charge, George will not need to worry about Tottenham's wing configuration for a long time in the future. Therefore, after learning that Moggi came to London this time to introduce Ribery, George, who had no idea of selling the Frenchman, naturally had no better attitude: "I'm sorry, Manager Moggi, I'm afraid you It's a waste of time. Frank is a very important part of our first-team squad at Tottenham and I would never sell him to another club!"
"Mr. Viscount, please don't have any opinions or bad opinions about me because of this matter." Sensing George's firm attitude in his words, Moji quickly laughed, trying to ease the stiffness in the scene. atmosphere, "I just saw that after Robben joined, Ribery's playing time on behalf of Tottenham dropped compared to last season, and mistakenly thought that he was no longer taken seriously by Tottenham, so I wanted to bring him to "Alpistadion...I assure you that before we came here, we never made any move to contact the players personally!"
To be hailed as the "King of Transfers in Italy", there is no doubt that Mo Lao Fox has a vicious vision and high methods. He is keenly aware that although Nedvěd is still in a very good competitive state this season, in any case, the Czech Ironman, who is over 30 years old, has finally passed the peak period of his career, and his ability will only increase with his performance. Decline continues over time. Therefore, the matter of finding a qualified successor for Nedvěd was naturally put on the agenda by Old Fox Mo.
In George's previous life, at this time, Mo Ji first took a fancy to Serbian and Montenegro midfielder Stankovic, whose playing style was similar to Nedvěd. However, he had just been stabbed by Moji in the Cannavaro trade. Inter Milan was unwilling to sell the Serb to a competitor, and the newly appointed Roberto Mancini tried his best to retain his old team when he was coaching at Lazio, which ultimately led to Stankovic's transfer being aborted. After that, Moggi turned his attention to Mutu, who was laid off by Chelsea after the drug scandal broke out. For a while, he had no ball to play. He took the young and famous Romanian genius star to the Alpi Stadium and let the world know again. Once I saw what it means to be discerning.
However, Moji was also quite unscrupulous in this free transfer. Because at that time, although Mutu was terminated by Chelsea and became a free agent, as the party who made the mistake, the Romanian needed to pay Chelsea a liquidated damages to compensate for the economic losses caused by his inappropriate behavior to Chelsea. However, neither Mutu himself nor Juventus, the club that signed the Romanian for free, paid the money to Chelsea. As a result, the Blues in the previous life had to take Mutu and Juventus to court to safeguard their legal rights. rights and interests.
Different from his previous life, after failing to seduce Stankovic, Moggi in this life did not pay attention to Mutu, who was at the lowest point in his career. Instead, he turned his attention to the main force in the Tottenham team due to the arrival of Robben. Franck Ribery, whose position is under attack. After all, compared with Mutu, who has been out of official matches for a long time and whose competitive status is still unknown, Ribery, who is younger and performs better, is obviously more in line with Moggi's requirements!
When there are obviously better options, Moggi will naturally not consider taking the risk of antagonism with Chelsea and taking a gamble on Mutu. However, what Old Fox Mo didn't expect was that Ribery had such a big weight in George's heart that he rejected the deal without even listening to the transfer offer!
"Don't worry, I still trust you, Manager Moji, on this point." After hearing Moji's explanation, George couldn't help but smile and said - since he showed his energy in a small way during Tony's transfer. , Moji never dared to challenge George's majesty again. Because Old Fox Mo knew that the other party, like the Agnelli family that controlled Juventus, was someone he could never offend!
After sending away the old Mo Fox who seemed a little downcast because of his failure to poach Ribery, George called General Manager Marotta and the head of the information center, Aaron Friedrich from Germany, to his office to discuss How to prevent and deal with poaching from other teams - Moggi's visit this time reminded George well, making him notice the undercurrents surging under the seemingly calm water. Otherwise, when things really happen, Tottenham and George will have to face a rather passive situation.
The Information Center is a brand-new department established almost at the same time as the Tottenham Lab. Its main responsibility is to assist various departments within the Tottenham Club to collect and manage various types of information, and to provide timely information support to various departments when they need it. , thereby reducing labor and time costs and improving work efficiency.
Now, under George's assignment, the information center has a new task, which is to strengthen the collection of intelligence and discover as early as possible which clubs have the intention of poaching Tottenham!
Although George is confident in the loyalty of most players, having confidence is one thing. Precautions must be done, and all hopes cannot be pinned on the personal morality of the players - in case someone is blinded by money. , and asked for a transfer to leave the team under the temptation of a high salary, then Tottenham's losses would be huge!
Want to poach Spurs, who are already prepared? Then it depends on whether you have this ability! After some discussions and preliminary finalization of the response plan with Marotta and Aaron Friedrich, George thought with confidence in his heart.
