Chapter 197 Meet the old fox again

After arriving in Turin, the entire Tottenham team only conducted some field adaptation training and returned to the hotel they were staying. After all, the arrangements that should be made were emphasized by George many times before the team left London, and several practical drills were conducted during training, so naturally the significance of these deployments was not demonstrated in front of the opponents of the game.

George doesn't believe that when he is doing the field adaptation training, Juventus will not send people to inquire secretly. You should know that Moji and Capello are not upright people, and they will definitely try every means to increase the chance of Juventus winning. So, since there is an opportunity to explore Tottenham's intelligence close-up, they will certainly not let it go easily.

While the players all returned to the hotel to rest, George quietly left the team's base with Adele and headed to No. 32 Ferraris Street, which is the location of Juventus Club headquarters!

The reason why George secretly visited Juventus headquarters on the eve of the same game was not to have private transactions or secret operations with Capello, but because he was invited by Juventus general manager Luciano Moji. Before leaving for Turin, Mojit called George and said that he wanted to discuss with him face to face if there was something important!

That's why George chose to come to Juventus headquarters at this sensitive time. Because after this game, the entire Tottenham team will return to London overnight to prepare for the eighth round of the British League, which will be held in three days. As the team's head coach, George naturally has to leave Turin with the team, and there is no time to discuss things with Moji.

As for George's personal trip to Juventus headquarters, rather than Moji's hotel, it was mainly for the purpose of confidentiality. You should know that although George booked the entire hotel as the team's temporary residence for this trip to Torino this time, in order to give players a better rest before the game, the staff in the hotel are not Tottenham employees. Under temptation, it is easy to reveal some things that should be strictly confidential to the outside world. If a reporter takes the opportunity to pretend to be a staff member and sneak into the hotel, then the news of Moji's visit to George late at night will probably be published on the front pages of major European sports newspapers!

Although George will definitely not fake it in the game, the three of them become tigers. After being promoted by the media, he and Tottenham will inevitably fall into an embarrassing situation where they cannot argue. How easy is it to clarify the facts?

In contrast, Juventus headquarters is much safer. At least George and Moji don’t have to worry about the walls and make the matter they intend to discuss publicly. Therefore, George’s move can be said to be unquestionable and cannot be regarded as an act of reducing his own value or raising Moji’s status.

"Manager Moji, what's the matter this time? You have to interview me?" After a brief and polite conspiracy, George immediately brought the conversation to the point. After all, tomorrow is the day to fight with Juventus. If you don't have a good rest tonight, then the only one who suffers will be Tottenham.

"That's right, Mr. Viscount." Seeing George so anxious, Moji, who wanted to chat with the other party for a while, immediately wisely gave up his plan to go around in circles. "I plan to sign Colombian striker Romedal Falcao from Monaco. I wonder if Mr. Viscount, can you agree to my request?"

Although Moji made a series of deals that shocked the entire European football world in the summer transfer market, such as the number three goalkeeper Carini exchanged for the Italian national team captain Cannavaro, poached Capello, Zebina and Emerson from his arch rival Roma, and obtained two powerful players De Jong and Hetinga through the trade with George, which greatly improved the combat effectiveness of the Zebras, but this does not mean that the Juventus is now impeccable - the height of the pair Cannavaro and Touram, the ups and downs of Zebina, and the dilemma that only two reliable players, Pierro and Trezege, on the front line, are all needed to make up for and improve.

That is why Moji took the initiative to come to George and asked him whether he could introduce Falcao from Monaco. After being severely taught by George in the summer, the old Fox Mo had already realized that there must be some extremely subtle relationship between Monaco and Tottenham. In other words, if you want to deal with Falcao, the problem you need to solve first is not how to satisfy Monaco's appetite or convince the player himself, but seek the consent of George Nelson, the real leader of Monaco!

"...Manager Moji, do you want to introduce Falcao?" George couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and was a little surprised when he heard the request from the old fox. To be honest, Juventus was actually able to fall in love with this Colombian Tiger who had just entered the 6th Ligue 1 League for less than half a year. It was really beyond George's expectations - he originally thought that Moji was playing well in Parma this time to Girardino and Malchioni.

"That's right." Mora Fox nodded and said in a very affirmative tone, "After careful investigation, I believe Falcao is very suitable, and Tottenham, with a lot of talents, does not need Falcao at all. So, I hope you can give up your love with Mr. Viscount. As for the transfer fee, we will definitely give Falcao a number that will satisfy you!"

In Moji's view, as long as Tottenham does not include Falcao as the key training target, Juventus has a considerable possibility to win the Colombian striker and strengthen the increasingly weak forward force!

"This is not easy to deal with..." George rubbed his chin with a embarrassed expression. "Manager Moji, I believe you should be very clear that Falcao joined Monaco this summer, and his performance there is also quite good. If he sells him at the winter window, it may attract a lot of unnecessary trouble for us."

"One, two million euros, paid in one lump sum." Speaking of this, the old fox gritted his teeth and offered another additional condition, "In addition, when Falcao's total goals at Juventus reach twenty, we will pay an additional amount of five million euros!"

"Well, the price is indeed fair." George was quite satisfied with Moji's offer. "But I hope that Falcao's transfer can be officially completed after the end of this season... I don't want to see Monaco's record plummeting after losing the main striker."

"Trade!" Moji quickly agreed to George's request. In the eyes of the old fox, Falcao undoubtedly has the ability to become a top striker. Being able to seize food from George's tiger's mouth at this price is already a very advantageous thing!

After George and Moji reached a preliminary consensus on the deal, the second round of group match between Tottenham and Juventus finally started on time at the Alp Stadium at 5:00 p.m. the next day!
