358 Matchmaking

"Lister, Redknapp has a bad reputation..."

Daniel Levy was indeed very disappointed with Hoddle. Not only did he have poor grades, but he even laughed at himself for being an outsider. Daniel Levy has been invincible since he appeared on the London stock market, and many rich people trust him very much.

Especially his Jewish identity allowed him to get to know many Jewish rich people. Unexpectedly, just two days after becoming the chairman of Tottenham, he was despised by a football coach. This kind of contempt made him really intolerable.

Therefore, Daniel Levy has long wanted to find another head coach. But a club like Tottenham Hotspur is not good enough, so it is difficult to find a coach. Tottenham Hotspur is also considered a traditional strong team in England and is the number one in the history of English football.

. But the reality is that Tottenham has been in decline for a long time, and there has been no heavyweight championship for many years. Otherwise, Campbell would not have left Tottenham.

This is a contradiction. In Tottenham's mind, they are still a traditional strong team in England, and the head coach they find must be outstanding. Because not only Tottenham fans, but also Daniel Levy want to make Tottenham a strong Premier League team again.

Therefore, the requirements for head coaches are still very high. But in reality, because their performance is too poor, famous coaches will not coach their clubs. The head coaches who are willing to coach them are a group of coaches who are neither good nor bad.

So it is a bit difficult to find a head coach. Redknapp is indeed more suitable. Redknapp is not a very outstanding coach, but his performance at West Ham United is very good. There are no outstanding managers in England.

Under the circumstances of the coach, Redknapp is pretty good.

But Daniel Levy is a little worried. Like Venables who fooled Sugar, Redknapp's reputation in the circle is not very good. Venables is a bastard and what he did went too far. Ray

Although Redknapp is not as good as Venables, he is also a well-known black-and-gold coach. Every time there is any disturbance in English football, Redknapp's transfer is always brought up as an issue.

Because there are so many inexplicable places.

Redknapp already had this problem when he was at West Ham United. Now that he has gone to Portsmouth, he has introduced a lot of players, but many of them are from his old team. And the price they introduced is wrong. Everyone

Everyone knows there must be something fishy in it. But now Redknapp is not only Portsmouth’s director of football, but also the club’s head coach. No one can say anything. Redknapp’s reputation makes Daniel Leigh

Wei was a little worried.

"Daniel, your time in English football is too short. You don't understand a lot of the dirty things in football. Who is clean in English football? No coach can withstand investigation. Ferguson? Dalglish?

Wenger? They all have their own ways to get benefits, but they are not as easy to catch as Redknapp. Have you heard what Stretford said?"

"kindness?"

"Stretford cheated on Andy Cole's transfer from Manchester United to Blackburn. Many people doubted that Stretford got benefits from it. They even suspected that Stretford cheated on him behind closed doors, but they still

What did Tretford say? He said he only knew that Andy Cole moved to Blackburn and scored 9 goals in half a season, helping Blackburn avoid relegation. Blackburn avoided relegation and the club was happy.

The fans are happy. As for the things behind the transfer, what does it have to do with them."

Listening to Lister's words, Daniel Levy smiled. Daniel Levy is very smart, otherwise he would not have become a powerful broker in the London stock market. Lister's meaning is very simple, whether it is the head coach or the agent, he will get some kickbacks

, it is very normal to get some black money in football. As long as it can really bring benefits to the club and bring outstanding players to the club, then you can turn a blind eye.

If the top management of the club cares too much about these issues, they will be ostracized by the football world.

"Lister, you don't seem to have anything to do with Coach Redknapp."

Daniel Levy said with some confusion. Redknapp is a coach from West Ham United and has gone through many clubs in his playing career. West Ham United, Bournemouth, Bradford, and then Bourne.

Mouth began his coaching career. His glory was at West Ham United.

He has been in English football since the mid-1960s, and it has been more than 40 years now. He has a wide network of contacts in English football, and has a close relationship with Stretford, the first agent in English football a few years ago.

Lister is different. Lister has only been in English football for a short time. It is unlikely that he has anything to do with Redknapp.

"It doesn't matter much. But in terms of English football, he is the most suitable. He is familiar with English football and has strong tactical ability. I think he is the most suitable for Tottenham. Of course, I also hope that Tottenham will have a good coach.

, so that I can promote my top players. If your Tottenham performance is still not good or bad, I will not recommend good players."

Lister had no friendship with Redknapp before. But recently Lister and Stretford have begun to ease their relationship. From now on, Stretford will lead Rooney alone and make Rooney the number one player in England.

The position of a star player. Therefore, he needed to smooth out many of his previous relationships, so he joined forces with List.

Although it is impossible for List to fully accept his former "assets" in British football, List is trying his best to digest them. Among his many previous connections, the one List values ​​most is Redknapp. Because

This person has the widest connections and the strongest strength in British football.

"I would seriously consider Redknapp."

…………

"Liester, I heard that Liverpool is playing well recently. Why do you have time to come to our place?"

Arnesen looked much better than a month ago. Maybe he was thinking about it and didn't want to have any conflict with Hiddink. He said with a smile when he saw Riester.

"I have more players at PSV than at Liverpool. I have great expectations for them. Of course I have to come here all the time to see how they are developing."

"Who do you want to see? Drogba? Di Natale? Grigra? Or Afellay and Messi from the youth team?"

Lister did not speak. These are the people Lister values, of course, Lister values ​​​​the most is Messi. However, Drogba, Di Natale, Afellay, and Grigra all have the ability to enter the rich and powerful teams.

Players will be able to create enough income for List in the future.

"Frank, I'm looking for you today for something."

"Lister, we have known each other for such a long time. You still..., if you have anything to say, just say it directly."

Arneson shook his head. Riester really didn't look like a Czech. He didn't know how many twists and turns he had to make when speaking. Anyway, he rarely expressed his intentions happily. The same is true today. Come on.

We walked around Eindhoven and talked a lot of nonsense with Arneson. It might not be a big deal if we were strangers, but it was still the case with an old acquaintance like Arneson.

"Didn't you say you wanted to leave Eindhoven last time? What do you think now?"

Arnesen was stunned for a moment, then nodded without any pause. Then he said: "Well, Hus is now the head coach of the club, and I always feel awkward. In terms of our relationship, I can't say it too seriously.

It’s not even light enough. So I’m looking for the next one now.”

Riester can understand. For a person with strong power like Arnesen, it is impossible for him to tolerate the existence of a person who can stand up to him in the club. Among the current PSV, Arnesen

Although he is the general manager, he cannot interfere in the competitive field. After all, that person is Hiddink, and Arnesen cannot compare to Hiddink. Being unable to intervene in the competitive field must be very frustrating for Arnesen.

"Why, Riester. Have you already inquired for me?"

"kindness."

"What club?"

Arnesen is very calm, but he is also a little anxious at this time. He has been in power at Eindhoven for ten years and has a great reputation in European football. It is impossible for him to go to some places without Eindhoven.

Small club.

"I met with Daniel Levy, the chairman of Tottenham Hotspur, some time ago. He has not been the chairman of Tottenham Hotspur for a long time, which is a little more than a year. However, Tottenham's performance has been poor, and he is looking for someone who is responsible for UEFA.

He asked someone he knows well in the industry to help him. I mentioned your name to him at that time, and he was very interested. He wanted to hear your opinion, and if possible, he would like to meet you."

"Tottenham?"

Arneson did not expect it to be Tottenham. Arneson quickly recalled the information about Tottenham in his mind. Arneson has been in European football for many years and he cannot know all about the clubs in the major leagues of European football. He still knows the basic information.

.

Tottenham is a traditional strong team in England. Especially when the FA Cup was on par with England's top league or even higher than the league, Tottenham was the king of the cup. Before the establishment of the Premier League, Tottenham had won eight FA Cup championships.

Manchester United has only seven, and Arsenal has only five. Tottenham are the true kings of the FA Cup.

Nowadays, people underestimate the FA Cup, so no one takes the FA Cup seriously. But at that time, the FA Cup had a very high status in England, and being able to win eight FA Cup championships was definitely an outstanding achievement.

From this perspective, Tottenham is definitely a traditional strong team in England, and it is also a big club in London. It is indeed a good choice in many aspects. However, Arneson still said doubtfully: "Lister, I know Daniel.

Levi seems to have been a very good stockbroker in the past. Is he rich?"

Arnesen is a very realistic person. The current European football world is no longer what it was ten or twenty years ago. The current European football world is bullshit if there is no money. Although Arnesen is very confident in his own strength, he also

I know that I can't realize my ambition without money.

"Tottenham is not Daniel Levy's private club. It was the ENIC Group that acquired Tottenham. The big owner is Joe Lewis. It is said that his net worth is around 230,000 pounds. You should have heard of the ENIC Group's lawsuit. They are in Europe

In football, Tottenham controls six clubs, including Slavia Prague, Aek Athens, and Rangers. Some time ago, I cooperated with them to control a Chilean club. Daniel Levy has shares in the Enic Group.

We are very good friends with their big boss Joe Lewis, so now he has become the club chairman."

Arneson nodded. Of course Arneson is familiar with the ENIC Group, not because of how strong this company is, but because this company just received a warning from UEFA a year ago because they control UEFA. Six clubs in the league, causing their clubs to meet in the UEFA Cup, also caused European football to investigate their company. Arnesen has not paid special attention to this lawsuit, but he has also heard about it.

"Although Enic Group has invested in many clubs, their company itself knows nothing about the football industry. They are just an investment company. They saw that football stocks have risen very well in the past few years, so they invested in these clubs. Daniel Levy also plays The stock is very powerful, but he doesn’t know anything about European football. He needs professionals like you to help him take care of it."

Arnesen raised his head and looked at Lister with a half-smile. Because Lister's meaning was very simple, Enic Group is an outsider in football. Daniel Levy is also an outsider in football. With Arnesen's ability to enter Tottenham, he can Totally captures the competitive side of the club.

"Okay, Lister. I want to interview Daniel Levy." (To be continued.)
