The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 734
Affected by the London Olympics, this scene of war at the Premier League chairman summit did not attract the attention of the outside media and fans. Everything is still going on in an orderly manner. A huge change is brewing.

Because Wembley Stadium is occupied by the Olympic Games, this season's Premier League Community Shield match was arranged to be held at Villa Park Stadium in Birmingham. Ye Qiu led the team to compete in the match. Taking this opportunity, Peter Kenyon It was a meeting with the club leadership of Aston Villa and Liverpool to conduct in-depth negotiations on the salary limit and debt limit plan.

The management talked enthusiastically in the stands, but the players were invincible on the court.

Affected by the Olympics, many of Tottenham Hotspur's main stars had to be absent.

In this game, Ye Qiu still arranged a 433-[-]-[-] strategy. The goalkeeper is Petr Cech, the defense is Luke Shaw, Nesta, Kompany and Azpilicueta, and the midfielders are Pogba and Pirlo. And Vidal, the front trident is Hazard, Cavani and Messi.

Among them, Azpilicueta and Cavani both participated in the Olympic Games, but Spain and Uruguay both stopped in the group stage, so they returned to the team early, and the United Kingdom also lost to South Korea a few days ago. The Olympic team, Brazil also lost to Mexico in yesterday's final, but the Tottenham Hotspur players of the two Olympic teams did not participate in the Community Shield.

France's scarred Franck Ribery was also injured in training and missed the game.

Compared with Tottenham Hotspur's absence of many main players, Liverpool can be described as strong and strong. Benitez's team is ambitious this season and wants to make a difference in the Premier League and the European arena. The Community Shield Cup is him first shot.

Both sides played relatively calmly at the beginning. Tottenham Hotspur mainly lacked many of the team's main players, especially many new players in the team. Out of safety considerations, Ye Qiu did not adopt a rushing tactic after the opening, but Benny Tess' team played aggressively from the beginning, trying to overwhelm Tottenham Hotspur's momentum.

In the first half until No.40 two minutes, Mata broke through and passed the ball. Suarez scored in the penalty area and opened the scoring for Liverpool. The Red Army also maintained this score until the end.

Neither side made substitution adjustments in the second half, but Tottenham's performance improved.

In 9 minutes, Pirlo picked a pass from the right, Messi stopped the ball and then cut the ball inside. Cavani followed up and directly volleyed vigorously in the arc of the penalty area, hitting the dead corner of Liverpool's goal, 1:1, tying the score.

After that, Tottenham Hotspur continued to adopt an active offensive strategy against Liverpool, while Liverpool adopted a defensive counterattack.

Eden Hazard dribbled the ball down the left to force past Glenn Johnson, but after the break, Hazard made a low pass down the middle and Skrtel tackled to make a clearance, but the ball did not leave the danger area and Pogba followed Up, his stop was a bit big, because Scholes's kick was a clearance, not a pass.

Javier Martinez also reacted very quickly. He moved in front of Pogba immediately, trying to prevent the French midfielder from passing the ball forward or hitting the goal directly, but when he saw Pogba stop the ball a bit When he was big, he subconsciously made an action to steal the ball, but Pogba's reaction was faster. After all, he knew that he had stopped big when he stopped the ball.

I saw that Pogba was tall and had long legs. Before Javier Martinez, he pulled the ball to the right. After avoiding Javier Martinez's steal, he swung his right foot and grabbed the ball. Before Lucas Leiva was in place to block the goal, he hit a strong right foot and the ball got into the goal guarded by Reina from the near post, 2:1!

The two goals in a row were scored from the front of the penalty area, and they were all powerful. This kind of thunderous volley was full of a violent beauty, which made all Tottenham who came to Villa Park enthusiastically. The Spurs fans celebrated wildly with excitement, because this goal represented the team's reversal of Liverpool.

Immediately afterwards, Liverpool played a frantic attack not to be outdone, but Tottenham began to shrink their defense appropriately. No.806 minutes, Pirlo launched a counterattack with a diagonal pass, and Hazard made a lightning strike With such speed, he tore through Liverpool's defense again. After getting the ball from the left, he made a low pass to the right. Messi followed up and made a direct shot, 3:1!

Consecutive goals allowed Tottenham Hotspur to finally defeat Liverpool 3:1, won the Community Shield, and won a good start to the season. This is also the first time Tottenham Hotspur has won this season championship trophy.

When the whistle sounded for the end of the game and all the Tottenham Hotspur players rushed into the pitch to celebrate their team's victory, Ye Qiu waited on the sidelines until Peter Kenyon came down from the stands. He made an OK gesture, and the answer is self-evident, that is, he has successfully persuaded Liverpool and Aston Villa.

Sometimes, people are like this. If you want to be the boss, you must have younger brothers to obey you. If no one obeys you, it will be useless even if you become the boss. If you want to occupy a place in the core of power, you must have your own partner, not just Southampton.

At the very least, more than two-thirds of the votes must be obtained!
…………

…………

After Tottenham Hotspur defeated Liverpool 3-1, the London Olympics also came to an end.

The entire British media immediately began to shift their attention to the Premier League. At this time, the second meeting of the Premier League Chairman Summit was also held at the Zhenhua Hotel. Representatives from [-] Premier League teams participated in the meeting .

This time, a vote on the salary limit clause was first conducted, which was almost discussed last time. Now the Premier League has drafted a plan and framework, and the result is a one-time vote. All club representatives have no objections. After all The salary limit is indeed of great benefit to the Premier League.

But it is still the same as last time. Although this time there are more complete preparations for debt limit, Peter Kenyon, who participated in the meeting on behalf of Tottenham Hotspur, also gave a very detailed plan, including debt limit The specific timetable and specific debt ceiling, etc., but the entire vote still failed to pass by one vote.

Thirteen teams passed, one abstained, and six opposed. From a proportional point of view, Tottenham Hotspur won Liverpool and Manchester City. Although this meeting failed again, Peter Kenyon's other One proposal was approved, that is, before the first round of the new season, this clause should be settled, so the two parties agreed to discuss it three days later.

After Peter Kenyon finished the meeting, he went straight to Theobald to find Ye Qiu. In addition to explaining the results and process of the meeting, he also mentioned some constructive opinions raised by many club representatives in the meeting. It was also a good fit to join, so Peter Kenyon started to revise his proposal.

In the following two days, Peter Kenyon visited teams such as Newcastle, West Ham, Swansea and Sunderland to conduct in-depth analysis and communication on the terms of the debt limit. This time, Peter ? Kenyon showed his good side, and he finally succeeded in convincing these teams.

Three days later, [-] teams returned to the Zhenhua Hotel for another closed-door meeting.

Three consecutive closed-door meetings before the season, coupled with such intensive running back and forth and meetings of the Premier League teams, the outside world has also smelled the special taste, so many British media are stationed outside the venue.

This meeting was finally extended from the original three hours to six hours, and the final voting results showed that Tottenham Hotspur's proposal passed the vote with [-] votes and [-] votes against, and it will be voted by the Premier League. The league officially signed an agreement with [-] Premier League teams to implement this clause.

That night, Richard Scudemore, the chief executive of the Premier League, held an impromptu press conference in the conference hall of the Zhenhua Hotel to formally express his position to the outside world, but this time he did not mention who made the proposal. The motion only stated that the Premier League has formally passed this salary and debt limit clause, and it will be submitted to the government Ministry of Labor and the players union for consideration.

As long as it is affirmed by the government and the players union, this clause will be implemented from the next season, and strive to suppress the debts of all Premier League teams to a reasonable level of risk control in 2018, which is five years after the clause is implemented. within range.

For many teams, this is a very, very important event, especially for teams such as Chelsea, Manchester City and Manchester United with such high debts, it is no less than a bolt from the blue.

But also at this press conference, Manchester City’s representative Mubarak said, “This is an important move that will benefit the long-term development of the Premier League. Only when the risks are under control can the Premier League teams maintain long-term stable development. "

Even Mubarak said that the team will control Manchester City's current debt through a series of measures, including selling some substitute players in the team, reducing the team's salary expenses, and actively increasing investment in business development. Said that the plan to build a training base will not change.

Richard Scudemore highly affirmed Tottenham Hotspur's key role in this struggle at the press conference. A role model and role model for the team.

"We are very clear that neither the salary limit nor the debt limit is aimed at a certain team or certain players. We have only one purpose in implementing this policy, which is to make our league develop better and let all All teams can enjoy more long-term benefits from the Premier League."

"We not only want to limit salary and debt, we also hope that more teams can consider fans, because we all know that in the past few years, the price of Premier League tickets has also been rising. , and according to the data we have obtained, in the past five years, the average ticket price of the Premier League has more than doubled, and even many fans can no longer afford such a high ticket price."

"Here, I have to mention Tottenham Hotspur. The reason why they are the role model of the Premier League is that they have not played in the ticket for the past six years, that is, from 2006 to 2012, six years and six seasons. It’s been a very, very rare thing to increase prices by even a penny in the past few years, but Tottenham Hotspur’s net income has doubled or tripled.”

"This proves one thing, even if there is no high ticket price, as long as the team operates properly, it can still maintain profitability. This kind of experience, this kind of business model, is worth promoting, and it is worth learning for all Premier League teams!"

Scudemore's last remarks are more of an appeal, because it is impossible to write ticket price restrictions into the terms. After all, different regions have different consumption levels in different regions. One size fits all is not enough, especially considering the ticket sales. This is a business project that basically belongs to each team, and the Premier League should not interfere too much.

After this press conference, the British media immediately interpreted the Premier League’s New Deal, and as they gradually dug, a lot of truth gradually surfaced, and everyone was surprised to find that this New Deal was still based on the Turnham Hotspur took the lead, and this team relied on this new deal reform to successfully obtain the most important voice in the Premier League, even surpassing Manchester United, a veteran team.

At the same time, Peter Kenyon, who personally participated in this reform and was appraised by Scudemore as having played a key role, has also become very popular in the Premier League and the FA. The limelight even overwhelmed David. ? Jill, after all, in order to safeguard the interests of Manchester United this time, the way the latter handled things made many people feel dissatisfied.

Sir Dave Richards, the FA's vice-chairman in charge of league operations, will step down and his replacement will be chosen from among the [-] board members.

Among the twelve members of the board of directors, five are representatives from the England national team, five are representatives from the professional league, plus the chairman of the FA and the general secretary, there are exactly twelve, and recently there are two very The executive directors, one of whom is Ms Rabat, the 56-year-old Millwall's vice-chairman, are not in the running for vice-chairmanship.

After this incident, external media analyzed that once Sir Dave Richards leaves office, the next person to replace him will be selected from the five existing representatives from professional leagues, and the most popular candidate is from David Gill and Peter Kenyon of the Premier League.

No matter which of these two people is elected in the end, they will become David Dunne, the real power figure who has two major powers in club management and the vice chairman of the FA. You know, David Dunn resigned in 2006 , But before that, Arsenal had always been the favorite to win the championship, and after that, Arsenal hadn't won a championship for many years.

Therefore, many people also associate Arsenal's success that year with David Dunn as the vice chairman of the FA.

This time, if Tottenham Hotspur CEO Peter Kenyon really becomes the vice-chairman of the FA, that Tottenham Hotspur will undoubtedly dominate the Premier League.

That is to say, when the entire UK, and even the media around the world, are full of expectations and admiration for Tottenham Hotspur to lead the Premier League, the new season of the Premier League finally ignited the flames of war.

With Tottenham Hotspur having completed an unprecedented four consecutive Premier League titles and winning 88 unbeaten games, whether Tottenham Hotspur will be terminated in the new season has become everyone's concern focus.

This season, the Premier League and even Arsenal have begun to spend a lot of money on signings, trying to strengthen their own strength through introductions, returning to the top four in the league, and returning to the Champions League. After all, for Arsenal, the loss of not qualifying for the Champions League is too heavy. up.

Like the previous Premier League, although the schedule of the Premier League is random, there is at least one highlight in almost every round, and the opening game of the new season of the Premier League is Reading vs. Stoke City at home. The highlight is Tottenham Hotspur's away game against Newcastle.

From the fact that the broadcasters arranged this game on Saturday night, it can be seen how much they attach importance to this game, and everyone is also full of expectations for the start of the new season of Tottenham Hotspur. After the introduction of the famous coach Ancelotti, he also announced that he would achieve even better results in the new season.

Therefore, this battle has attracted the attention of fans.

In this game, Tottenham Hotspur can be described as the main force.

Petr Cech in goal, Marcelo, Thiago Silva, Kompany and Kyle Walker in defense, Ramsey, Pirlo and Vidal in midfield and Hazard in front , Cavani and Messi, Ribery missed due to injury.

At the beginning of the game, Tottenham Hotspur reversed the conservative tactics they used when they played Liverpool in the Community Shield, and adopted an aggressive attacking strategy. Ancelotti was also very familiar with Ye Qiu's tricks. , Newcastle defended like a mountain, but did not make a decent counterattack.

The first half of the two sides played very dull, and there was no improvement in the second half. After all, this is the first round of the league, and the players of both sides have not yet fully entered the rhythm of the league.

But at 5 minutes, Tottenham Hotspur made a continuous pass after Messi retreated in the frontcourt. After Pirlo plugged in, he pressed his foot very low in the 30-meter area, which was almost unbearable. The overhead pass passed over the head of the opponent's central defender Ziglinski fell to Newcastle's left.

Hazzard rushed all the way to catch up, stopped the ball and swayed past Davide Thornton, the ball was passed low into the penalty area, and Cavani, who was inserted in the back row, shot in front of the goal and scored a goal for Tottenham. Scored the first goal of the season, 1:0!

The goal stimulated the players on both sides and also ignited the flames of war in Tottenham Hotspur.

Less than 15 minutes later, Pirlo took the ball from the back row and passed it directly to Ramsey at the front of the penalty area. The Welshman stopped the ball and passed it obliquely. Dribbled the ball into the penalty area and made a penalty.

The Argentine made the penalty himself, 2:0!

The two goals almost sentenced Newcastle to death, but what left people with more imagination was the data left over from the game.

Tottenham Hotspur had a ball possession rate of 55%, a pass success rate of 1%, and 90 shots, but only eight shots were on target and scored two goals.

Guardiola was sitting in the stands of St. James' Park Stadium. He logged into the OPTA data company's APP and got this data, but his mind could not be calm for a long time, because it turned out that Cruyff was right!
But the live broadcast of Sky TV captured Guardiola's appearance!
