Just as George was dealing with the matters related to the introduction of Carrick from West Ham United and was sharpening his sword and preparing to find an opportunity to attack other clubs, Marlotta came to France, which was separated from the British Sea, and was preparing to show his skills in this country famous for its romance, and beautifully handle these signings in George's plan, thus proving to those who question his ability that George chose him as Tottenham Hotspur's CEO, which was definitely an extremely wise decision!

The first stop of Marlotta's trip to France is located in Guern City, in the coastal province of Brittany Amore, the northwest corner of France.

"Boss is really, how could he be attracted to such a black African man with such a rough technology and only a good physical fitness?" When he came to this small town next to the English Channel and a population of only 8 ooo, Marlotta was still confused when he looked at the signing list in his hand. Before leaving London, Marlotta specially collected and watched the game video of all transfer targets, and had a rough understanding of the technical characteristics and playing methods of these players. It is precisely because of this that he was extremely puzzled by George's decision: "If you just want to find a powerful center, there are many in the UK. Whether it is Husky, Carlton Cole or Viduca, it is much safer than introducing Drogba, who has only played in the Ligue 1 season and has never proved his ability in the English field."

Speaking of this, I believe everyone should have thought of it. That's right, Marotta's first transfer goal for this trip to France is the Ivorian striker Didier Drogba, who is currently playing for Guergon Football Club!

In the O2o3 season, the Ligue 1 team scored 7 goals, Drogba's goal efficiency looks quite good, and he also has the potential to become a strong center. However, Marlotta knows that although Drogba suddenly exploded this season, he also won the throne of the Ligue 1 scorer list, to be honest, based on his performance in this season, it is really difficult for Marlotta to determine whether Drogba has the strength to gain a foothold in the UK.

After all, in the professional football circle, there are too many forwards who have performed amazingly in their seasons and returned to mediocrity after getting a big contract. The most famous example is Salvator Reskirachi, the Golden Boot winner of the 90s World Cup, who was not as good as his last year after the World Cup, and finally went to Japan at his thirty years, thus completely bidding farewell to the mainstream football circle.

Therefore, in Marlotta's eyes, George's choice of Drogba was undoubtedly an extremely risky move. God knows whether Drogba will also be like Skirachi, returning to silence after a sudden outbreak of the season, which made Tottenham's investment in him was wasted.

What's more, Tottenham's style of play is known for its technical flow and delicateness. A rough guy like Drogba is incompatible with Tottenham's tradition no matter how he looks. This is another major reason why Marotta is doubtful about introducing Drogba.

Is the boss planning to let Tottenham change his previous technical style in the new season and instead build a team that focuses on body and strength? This idea was just born and was immediately rejected by Marlotta himself. After all, from the plan he received, it can be seen that there are only a few rough guys like Drogba, and most of the target players have excellent skills. Therefore, Marlotta's guess is obviously not very reliable.

Although Marlotta was very confused about George's decision to introduce Drogba, he still came to Gangang honestly and prepared to go on the battle to operate the deal in person. After all, when the immediate boss specifically stated in the plan that he was determined to take Drogba, Marlotta had to seriously implement every order issued by George.

The transfer negotiations with Guergon Club were quite smooth. After only a short hour, Guergon surrendered under the offensive of Marlotta and agreed to sell their main striker Didierdroba to Tottenham Hotspur for 50,000 pounds. Next, as long as Marlotta settled Drogba himself in the contract negotiations and asked him to sign and seal the contract, the deal between Guergon and Tottenham can be officially completed.

As for the difficulties of non-European players in applying for a labor permit, Drogba's transfer is completely untouched. This is not to say that George has managed to get the British Labor Department through his relationships and connections, but because Drogba, who has been training in France since he was a child, has long been qualified to apply for French nationality. At that time, Drogba, who has dual nationality in Côte d'Ivoire and France, will no longer need to apply for the troublesome labor permit, and can directly join Tottenham as an EU player!

After finishing the negotiations with the Guern Club, Marotta rushed to Drogba's residence without stopping. George could not come in person, but showed great importance to the Ivorians. Marotta felt that he needed to replace the boss and let Drogba feel the club's value, thereby strengthening his sense of belonging and loyalty to the club.

Some people may ask, since George values ​​Drogba so much, why didn’t he come to Gangan in person like when he introduced Carrick, but instead appointed Marlotta to operate the transfer deal? Doesn’t this differentiation seem to George not pay attention to Drogba to Carrick?

In fact, there are two reasons why George did not personally participate in Drogba's transfer transaction: George is that he has limited time now and must handle all the signings before the team's pre-season training starts. At the same time, there are too many players to introduce, so he has no skills, so he has to let Marlotta and the others participate in this signing operation; the second is that Carrick is much more famous than Drogba, and the West Ham United he plays for is almost the same as Tottenham Hotspur, so it is reasonable for George to participate in the negotiations as the head coach of Tottenham. But if George gives Drogba the same treatment, then those who have opinions should be replaced by Carrick.

For example, no one would find it strange to Florentino to go to Manchester to introduce Beckham; but if Lafayette suddenly appears in a small town and claims to take action personally and take away a player who was not known before from here, then most people will probably feel strange and puzzled. After all, the gap in status between the two sides is too huge, and this approach can easily arouse the dissatisfaction of other players in the team.

The current status gap between Tottenham and Guergon, George and Drogba is like this. George can not care about the gap in identity and play the drama of being a wise man and attracting people's hearts, but you should also be careful not to overdo it and cause the "Lian Po" in the team to be dissatisfied. And if Tottenham grows into a top wealthy family under the leadership of George, then at that time, it is probably only those top superstars or recognized future superstars that are worth George's personal dispatch.

What's more, if George is going to do something about every transfer involving future stars, then what does he hire Marlotta and Paratic to do? Is it just to let them sit in the office as decorations, or to be Zhao Kuo who only knows how to talk on paper?

Therefore, it is enough for Marlotta to come forward at the transfer level like Drogba, and George does not need to participate.

"Manager Marlotta, I have a question and want to ask you for advice here." After confirming that Marlotta's words were true and that he had indeed been sold by the club, Drogba hung up the phone and expressed his doubts, "Why do you have the idea of ​​introducing me? As far as I know, there should be no shortage of strikers like me in the English arena?"

Although Drogba was very happy at the start of the recruitment from Tottenham Hotspur, he was still a little worried after calming down. After all, Drogba was also very clear that with his ability and his performance in the Ligue 1 last season, it would be great to attract the attention of major clubs in France. How could it attract the attention of British clubs on the other side of the Strait?

How could I know the answer to this question? Marotta, who also doesn't know George's true thoughts, is naturally impossible to give a definite explanation. Although he can make up a lie now and trick the Ivorians into first, when Drogba joins Tottenham and asks George for confirmation, it will definitely become a troublesome thing in the yiban.

However, as an old fry who has been in a low-level club for more than 20 years, Marotta, who has rich negotiation experience, naturally knows how to deal with Drogba's concerns at this time, that is, to impress the other party with his sincerity: "Sorry, Mr. Drogba, I am not very clear about the specific reason. But you are my boss and our head coach. Mr. George Nelson personally named the player to sign. So I think you will be valued after joining Tottenham. Even if you don't become the main force, there is no problem with the rotation position of the main force."

Sure enough, Drogba was very satisfied with Marotta's openness and honesty. He felt that the other party did not fool him with good words, but chose to tell the truth, which was really a sincere move.

Of course, after seeing that Marotta provided him with a five-year contract with an annual salary of 500,000 pounds, Drogba immediately threw all the worries in his heart out of the sky and signed the contract without hesitation. In the eyes of the Ivorians, Tottenham Hotspur was willing to pay 50,000 pounds to introduce him and was willing to give him such a generous salary. It was definitely not for him to go to Bailu Lane to sit on the bench.

In this way, Drogba became the first gain of Marotta's trip to France. However, this Tottenham Hotspur who had just taken office did not expect that the Ivorian man who he looked down on at the time was only to be brought in due to the boss's strict orders, would become a level monster that made all the defenders scared of talking about it in the future!
