The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 380 We Need You!

So, things in the world are really coincidental and very accurate.

When Beckham was planning to make contact with Ye Qiu and Tottenham Hotspur, Eliza Munn called Victoria and offered Ye Qiu an invitation to meet Beckham. The location can be chosen. in Madrid.

That night, after Beckham finished his training session in the afternoon, he drove directly to a well-known western restaurant in Madrid near the Bernabéu Stadium, where Ye Qiu was already waiting for him.

"I'm so sorry, I'm late!" Beckham immediately apologized as soon as he entered the box, but he was not late.

Ye Qiu looked at Hamilton on the left, and smiled, "No, you are very punctual, I was early!"

"Where's Victoria?" Beckham asked about his wife, why didn't he see anyone?

"She went out with Eliza!" Ye Qiu said casually.

Beckham smiled. He sensed that they wanted Ye Qiu to communicate with him alone. After all, sometimes Victoria was present, and many things were inconvenient to talk about. Everyone knew that Victoria wanted him to go to America.

Beckham is very familiar with this restaurant. After the waiter came in, he ordered his favorite food, and then said, "Real Madrid players like to come here very much. When they travel to China, the chef here also goes with the team. out of China."

After hearing this, Ye Qiu smiled, "How do you feel about China?"

"It's hot, those fans are crazy!" Beckham laughed. He couldn't forget the wave of madness caused by Real Madrid's trip to China. He swore that it was hard to see in other places in the world.

After Ye Qiu heard this, he also smiled, but he said with some regret: "During the first trip to China, Real Madrid's superstars gathered and played the most beautiful football in the world. Can you imagine that in less than three or four years, that mighty and invincible galaxy warship will suddenly collapse?"

This matter is also the biggest regret in Beckham's heart, because when he came to the team, it happened to be when Real Madrid turned from prosperity to decline, so many fans directly blamed him on him, but for this He never gave an excuse, because he felt that everyone was responsible for the poor performance of the team, including himself.

"Not long ago when I was away to Manchester United, Ferguson bought me a drink and talked a lot!" Ye Qiu said with a smile.

"How is he now?" Beckham smiled as if recalling Ferguson drinking wine and pulling Ye Qiu to talk.

Ye Qiu smiled again, "It should be pretty good. Although he gave up his position as the leader of the league, he should be in a good mood."

In fact, even if Manchester United fails to win the championship this season, it will be a successful season for Ferguson, because he has really found a path that belongs to Manchester United. What Ni didn't expect when he was waiting for the players, the confusion of those years led to Manchester United's downturn, but now, everything is over.

"He won't give up easily!" Beckham nodded.

Ye Qiu also nodded in agreement, "I was very impressed by what he said. He said that players, like coaches, must rely on their performance on the football field to prove themselves." This is exactly what Ye Qiu said about Ferguson. reason.

Perhaps in the eyes of many people, Beckham and Ferguson should be incompatible, but in fact, Ye Qiu can feel that although the relationship between the two is a bit stiff, there is no hatred at all. On the contrary, whether it is Ferguson or Beckham Mu, there are still strong feelings for each other.

Sometimes things are like this. It was originally just a matter between two people, but after the media hype and fueled the flames, it gradually seemed to become everyone's matter. Originally, it could be resolved by a few words between the two, but now In the end, it turned into a seemingly endless hatred, and they felt embarrassed when they met each other.

The most typical ones are Ye Qiu and Wenger, they are neighbors, but don't look at the North London derby between Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur, because of a misjudgment, the two had a big fight, but they never talked about it in private Things, the relationship between each other is not bad, the two families have a good relationship, but who knows all this?

Many people say that the media is using celebrities, but why aren't celebrities using the media?
"This is his football creed!" After hearing this, Beckham obviously had a deep understanding of this. After a pause, he asked in turn: "Did he drink and tell you about me again?" some things?"

Ye Qiu was taken aback for a moment, and his bewilderment obviously made Beckham laugh when he saw the answer.

"Don't worry, I know him well. He has a big mouth and likes to scold people, but he never holds grudges after scolding. The only exception is that after drinking, it is inevitable that he will be a bit long-winded." Beckham seems to be different when he criticizes Ferguson. Pleasure, hehe smiled.

Ye Qiu's relationship with the two masters and apprentices is really a bit strange, but it's definitely not as hateful as many people imagined.

"Actually, he told me a lot, for many, many years, but" when Beckham talked about Ferguson, he always looked sad, "...A lot of times, I really feel that the player's Is there really only football in life?"

Ye Qiu frowned, it was difficult to answer this question.

"The red card in the 98 World Cup turned me into a sinner. At that time, I felt the most painful and sad. The old man and Victoria were the two people who helped me the most. Without them, I couldn't get out. But the two People have completely different demands on me.”

Ye Qiu saw that Beckham seemed to be immersed in his thoughts. Obviously, the topic about Ferguson just now stimulated him and brought back some of his past events and memories, and he seemed unwilling to leave a bad impression on Ye Qiu. want to explain.

"You know, when I dated and married Victoria, she was a world-renowned and popular singer, and I was a professional player for Manchester United, or a little famous in England, but she got pregnant after 98 years. , gave up her career, and stayed at home to take care of her children with peace of mind. She sacrificed a lot for me."

"Perhaps in the eyes of many people, she doesn't understand football, and only thinks about how to hype and make money, but in my opinion, is it wrong for a woman to do this for her husband, family, and children? Or, a professional How many years can a player play? What will happen after retirement? Family, children, how to live?"

After hearing Beckham's question, Ye Qiu really thought of this aspect for the first time, and he also realized that the reason why Beckham let Victoria to handle many things was not because he was afraid Wife, but a respect, because he knows that everything Victoria does is for this family.

Many professional players had a lot of glory when they played football, squandered recklessly, and left no money, but after retiring, they were poor. In addition, they suffered from illnesses all over their bodies during playing football, and they had to continue to use drugs to maintain them after retiring. Quite big, so professional players are actually a bowl of youth rice.

Some people may say that after retiring, they can continue to engage in football-related businesses, such as being a game commentator, writing a newspaper ball commentary column, or being a coach. People who can complete this transformation occupy an important position among professional players. What percentage?

Ye Qiu has always felt that don't blame the players for demanding too much salary when renewing their contracts, because each renewing means that they are getting closer to their retirement, so they will be more nervous and want to take advantage of the time when they can still bargain. , Fight for more benefits to protect your future life.

At this time, Ye Qiu was thinking that both Ferguson and Victoria were the two most important people in Beckham's life. The former asked him to focus on playing football, while the latter hoped to establish a strong enough guarantee for the family to guarantee After the husband retired, the family was able to continue.

Therefore, no one can say which of these two people is wrong and who is right. It can only be said that this is a problem that all families in the world will encounter.

"What about now?" Ye Qiu thought of this, smiled, and asked, "What do you think?"

Beckham looked at Ye Qiu, scanned it in his mind, gritted his teeth secretly, and mustered up the courage to make a decision, "I hope to stay in Europe, and the first choice is to return to the Premier League!"

Inter Milan also wants to get Beckham, but with Figo's contract extension, Beckham's way to switch to Inter Milan has been blocked, and what Beckham wants most is to go to the Premier League, because this is the most beneficial He defends his place in the national team, as well as his future image at the London Olympics.

"Then come to Tottenham Hotspur. I need a midfielder like you. I also hope that the team will work hard in the second half, hit the top four in the league, and strive to qualify for the UEFA Champions League next season!" Ye Qiuyi Said frankly.

"What will happen in the future, I have no way to give you a promise, I can't tell you, I guarantee you will be in the main position of the team in the next few years, because that is for you, for me, for the team, and for all players. Be responsible, I can guarantee that you will be the main force for the next six months, and Tottenham Hotspur and I need players like you to strengthen the team's midfield strength."

Ye Qiu has been emphasizing one word, player. He hopes to tell Beckham that the first thing Tottenham want is a midfielder Beckham who can help the team reach the top four in the Premier League. Not a superstar Beckham.

Ye Qiu's statement undoubtedly made it easier for Beckham to accept, and then the two chatted about Ye Qiu's thoughts on Tottenham Hotspur. In fact, many things in Tottenham Hotspur are very consistent Beckham, for example with one pass and catch.

I believe that many fans will feel that the Premier League is weak in this aspect. As everyone knows, the Premier League has also had many teams with a very gorgeous style of play, such as Tottenham Hotspur in the early 90s, such as Roy Evans Liverpool in the period, such as the Red Devils Manchester United in the golden four midfield period.

At its peak, Manchester United had a nearly perfect four-middle midfield configuration that was highly respected by professional footballers.

Giggs who is good at breaking through, Scholes who is good at attacking from behind, Beckham who is good at scheduling long-distance passes, and Roy Keane who is good at covering and organizing.

If you study and analyze carefully, it is not difficult to find that almost all classic midfield configurations are this type of player combination.

At that time, Manchester United's most respected tactic was smooth one-foot pass and catch coordination, coupled with Beckham's long-distance long-distance pass scheduling, so that Manchester United's two forwards only needed to run out of space to catch the ball, so they were released in 2003. After losing Beckham, Manchester United's performance will plummet because of this.

Of course, there may be many people who think that Beckham does not have that much effect. They will say that it is because Manchester United's double forwards, Black Wind and Shuangsha, are good at running in the gap, which makes Beckham popular, but the problem is, Black Is Feng Shuangsha irreplaceable?If so, then they are of little use, if not, why did Ruud van Nistelrooy replace them later?
Conversely, is Beckham irreplaceable?

Thinking about it again, the resurgence of Manchester United this season is due to the acquisition of Carrick. Carrick is the most valued by Ferguson, and one of the most important things that Ferguson even hesitated to exchange for Ruud van Nistelrooy is his long pass. The problem has been explained!
In all top teams, there must be an outstanding long passer!
Xavi Alonso and Gerrard of Liverpool, Carrick and Scholes of Manchester United, Deco and Xavi of Barcelona, ​​Pirlo of AC Milan
Many people think that short passing is very important, but in fact, who doesn't know short passing?

Everyone knows that anyone who can become a professional player must have the ability to pass short passes, but medium and long passes may not be necessary, especially the precise long passes similar to Beckham in high-speed running and fast-paced games. That is even more scarce.

With only short passes and no long passes, the offense of this team must be greatly reduced. A truly reasonable and outstanding team must have the ability to transfer the ball with long passes. Otherwise, it will be difficult for this team to show a strong competition for dominance. force.

Tottenham Hotspur's problem this season is the third midfielder, but in fact organization, rhythm control and long passing are also problems.

Cesc Fabregas is indeed very talented and capable, but he lacks experience. He has all the skills that the core midfielder should have, and even the skills are not lost to any midfield star, but he lacks the ability to use and integrate the skills into the game. A sense, which requires more game training and experience accumulation.

So Ye Qiu wants to get Beckham!
For a long time, there have been very high calls for Beckham to play in the middle. Even in those days, many people thought that Manchester United was the success of Beckham, and Manchester United was the defeat.

His success is due to the results of Manchester United, but it is also Manchester United that prevents him from going further, because he cannot return to the center. There are Keane and Scholes in the center, so Ferguson has always put him on the right. He refused to put him in the middle, but many people felt that playing in the middle could bring out Beckham's biggest threat.

As for him playing in the middle after arriving at Real Madrid, but the team's performance is not good, maybe we can look at where the problem of Real Madrid is. Obviously, it is the defensive midfielder, not Beckham!
Ye Qiu even kept thinking that if Real Madrid had an excellent midfielder to partner with Beckham, the team's strength would rise exponentially, and they would even return to the ranks of the top teams in the shortest possible time.

It is precisely because he has had a very in-depth research and understanding of Beckham's strength that he is so sure that Beckham is the player that Tottenham Hotspur needs most urgently.

Faced with Ye Qiu's invitation and conditions, Beckham was obviously a little tempted.

In fact, as early as noon, Victoria and Simon Fowler discussed with him a general framework, that is, going to Tottenham Hotspur may not be a very ideal result, because this team is in London. , Recently, he has been getting involved with the Olympic Games, and Ye Qiu is a world-renowned coach. He personally invited him, which shows that he attaches great importance to Beckham.

"How are you talking with Real Madrid?" Beckham asked.

Ye Qiu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard him ask this question, because it proved that the matter was almost inseparable, and smiled, "Real Madrid will never reject any team that invites you, even They're going to accept offers that they wouldn't normally be able to accept."

Beckham had a wry smile on his face when he heard this, because he also expected that his value might drop to the point where everyone would be shocked by this transfer during the winter break, because he will be a free agent in half a year. No, it is impossible for Real Madrid to ask for a high price.

"If you have no objection, maybe I will ask Elisa to talk to your agent Simon about the contract tonight, and I will call Real Madrid myself to finalize the details."

Hearing what Ye Qiu said, Beckham felt somewhat uneasy.

Frankly speaking, he is not willing to leave Real Madrid. If according to his original idea, he hopes to stay in Real Madrid to prove himself, but according to the current situation, it is not good for him to stay in Real Madrid, and he may even be blocked. The emergence of Tottenham Hotspur undoubtedly gave him and Real Madrid an acceptable choice.

Thinking of this, Beckham stood up and stretched out his hand to Ye Qiu, "I hope we can have a happy cooperation in the future!"

"Happy cooperation!" Ye Qiu smiled and shook hands with Beckham.

At this time, the waiter in the restaurant knocked on the door of the private room, and brought out the dishes they ordered one after another. Beckham kept praising the delicious dishes here, and asked Ye Qiu to try more.

After the waiter went out, Ye Qiu suddenly remembered a question.

"By the way, David, how has your training been these days?"

During the period when Beckham was not able to play, he always insisted on training hard and was ready to play at any time. Even during the truce around Christmas, he insisted on doing physical training in the hotel to maintain his condition. After all, once a veteran like him cools down, it will be very troublesome to regain his form.

Because of this, when Ye Qiu asked, he nodded without hesitation, "I can appear anytime, anywhere!"

Ye Qiu smiled after hearing this, and praised: "Then prepare yourself, return to London with me tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, let's boost Liverpool's vigor!"
