By retrieving loaned players from Monaco, George successfully reinforced the right back position without spending a penny and found a qualified successor for Stephen Karl!
Although Tottenham's vice-president is still in pretty good shape this season, the Irishman's recurring knee injuries and his 29-year-old age, as well as the report from the Tottenham laboratory, are reminding George that Karl is no longer good. Then there is the iron man who always attended every season when he debuted, but his physical function also began to decline under the influence of injuries. With Phil Neville no longer suitable to continue playing on the wing and Tottenham facing multi-front battles in the new season, George recalled Maicon, the future right-winger, not only to ensure that Tottenham has the right back position The depth of the bench is also to avoid Carr's sudden decline in competitive status during the season or being in bed for a long time, which would deceive the team.
With the physical ability to cover the entire right wing, excellent overall view and extremely comprehensive ability... Maicon in his peak period can definitely be called the world's number one right back!
You know, even Alves at his peak could only be pressed on the bench by Maicon in the Brazilian national team and waited for opportunities. This shows how powerful Maicon was at his peak!
The reason why Maicon in his previous life declined sharply after 2010 was mainly because the Brazilian was already old at the time and his physical fitness was not enough to support him to cover the entire right wing like he did when he was young. In addition, after winning the Triple Crown, Maicon's aggressiveness began to decline and his focus on the game declined, resulting in the Brazilian's performance not being as good as before. But now, Maicon, who has just landed in Europe for only one year, obviously does not have this problem yet - at this time, he is still a diligent and dedicated young man, and has not yet developed the bad habit of cheating or being passive in the game. .
Regarding Maicon's return to White Hart Lane, Monaco coach Deschamps can be said to be very unhappy. Although he is very clear that with the club's current management policy, Monaco is destined to only become a reserve talent training base for giants, but Tottenham's approach is really a big blow to Deschamps' work enthusiasm.
After working hard for a season and finally cultivating a group of players, they were taken back by Tottenham for free, but they didn't get even a little bit of transfer fees or benefits. Anyone would feel unbalanced!
Therefore, in order to appease Deschamps's dissatisfaction, he can safely train young players for Tottenham in Monaco. After recalling Maicon, George sold the ownership of Meireles and Modric to the French Ligue 1 club for a package price of 25 million euros as compensation to Monaco. Of course, like Kompany and Villa before, George also set up buy-back clauses for these two players, stipulating that Tottenham can buy them back from Monaco at a negotiated price within the next two years!
Compared with directly renting out players for training, setting up buy-back clauses will not easily make the club receiving the player feel that they are doing wedding clothes for others in vain, and are willing to invest more energy and resources in these players - anyway, as long as When these players play, they will definitely make money. The only question is how many euros they can make from them.
Although this will increase Tottenham's signing costs a lot, with the support of George, a super rich man, Tottenham can completely ignore this extra financial expenditure. Not to mention, compared with the goal of training young players, this cost is not worth mentioning!
Deschamps should be quite satisfied with the compensation given by George, at least judging from the information George has received so far. Because after that, Deschamps did not ask the Monaco management to terminate the cooperation with Tottenham, nor did he suggest that the club look for players in the transfer market who could replace Modric and Meireles.
Just when Paratici and Marotta completed the transfers of Maicon and Larsson respectively, good news came from the old Robson. Leeds United, who are in deep financial crisis, have agreed to sell their young winger Aaron Lennon to Tottenham Hotspur for £1 million!
Frankly speaking, George just let Robson handle Lennon's transfer. Because at that time the old Robson was preparing to leave for Southampton to discuss the transfer of two young players, Gareth Bale and Theo Walcott. Due to the outstanding performance of the Tottenham youth team this season, Thomas Tu With the joint efforts of Hull and Robson Sr., they won the English Football Youth Super League championship trophy. Therefore, as a reward, Sr. Robson, who serves as the director of Tottenham's youth training, received a certain amount of funds every year to introduce young talents he was optimistic about. Player power.
As a result, Robson's harvest from this trip to Leeds far exceeded his imagination. In addition to Lennon, who George requested, the old coach also paid an additional transfer fee of 1 million pounds to take away two young players from the Leeds United Youth Academy - Fabian Delph and Danny Rose. , brought them to London together!
In this way, including Theo Walcott and Bell signed by Robson from Southampton, as well as Andy Carroll, Joe Hart, Bertrand, who are already playing in the Tottenham youth team, Sturridge and others, unknowingly, the lineup of Tottenham's youth team has become so terrifying!
Some people may have questions, why do we need to introduce Leeds United from Leeds United when we have three powerful wing players in Robben, Cristiano Ronaldo and Arshavin, and former England international Darren Anderton sits on the bench? Nong? Wouldn't this make Tottenham's already full winger group more crowded, causing disharmony in the team's locker room?
In fact, the reason why George chose to buy Lennon at this time was partly because Anderton had expressed to him that he planned to announce his retirement after the season. Although he finally changed his mind and agreed to play for another year under George's persuasion, But he still needs to take precautions and prepare in advance for Anderton's departure; on the other hand, it is because Tottenham currently lacks a wing assault player. In other words, he is a stupid young man who can forcefully attack the opponent's defense with the ball!
"Sick Cat" was indeed a good player at the wing midfielder position when he was young. Otherwise, he would not have been able to suppress the famous McManaman in the England national team for a long time. It was not until the rise of Beckham that he gave up the main right midfielder position. But now, the 33-year-old Anderton has lost the spirituality and high-spiritedness of his youth due to injuries and the erosion of time. Although he can still occasionally perform well in games this season, it is obviously unrealistic to ask Anderton to take on such a task.
As for Robben, Ronaldo and Arshavin, their superb football intelligence, outstanding personal abilities and comprehensive skills have allowed the three of them to become the best in this position, but the problem is that they are too smart and comprehensive. , so it is not suitable to play such a role with relatively simple responsibilities on the court. In contrast, it is easier for a stupid young man like Lennon to achieve George's tactical goals and act as a surprise force!
