After Lister dealt with the matter in Spain, he immediately came to England. Because Arneson officially became Tottenham's director of football in January 2003, Lister came to congratulate him. This position is not a false position, he can
It is within his purview to decide all competitive issues for Tottenham, including selecting coaches and buying and selling in the transfer market. There are very few such positions in English football because these things are the rights of the head coach.
Within the scope. The tradition in English football is that the head coach is responsible for these things.
But Daniel Levy is a little scared, especially since Tottenham's bosses in recent years have been amateurs, so there have been too many jokes. He concluded that the reason why Tottenham's previous presidents were always deceived by the head coach was because
The boss is very unfamiliar with football, so he set up such a position, which is very common in Serie A and La Liga. He just doesn't want to be fooled by the head coach, and hopes to limit the rights of the head coach.
Arneson's ability is absolutely first-rate. When talking to Daniel Levy, I don't know how he deceived him. Anyway, Daniel Levy was very satisfied with him and gave him a heavy responsibility. Arneson
Sen has also become the most powerful senior executive at Tottenham, and the senior executive with the most say besides Daniel Levy. His annual salary has also reached one million pounds.
"Tell me what's going on. But I rarely see you so happy. Have you made a lot of money again?"
Arnesen saw that Lister was in a good mood, so he couldn't help but ask Lister. He was very familiar with Lister. In the past, even if Lister was very happy, he would rarely show it on his face. But today Lister's smile
It's hanging outside, and it's easy to see Riester's mood.
"I met with Gines Carvajal before coming here to share our feelings."
"Good thing."
Lister didn't say anything specific, and Arnesen didn't ask for details either. I just heard that Lister and Carvajal had exchanged feelings. Congratulations to Lister. Carvajal is currently the most powerful and powerful player in Spanish football.
A well-connected agent. Lister himself is a powerful agent in European football. If he can cooperate with Carvajal in Spain, he will really go sideways in Spanish football. Lister only knows a few well-known names in the Spanish media.
Reporters use them as a breakthrough point to grasp some public opinion trends. But among the Spanish media, Carvajal directly cooperates with those media. In terms of controlling public opinion trends, even Florentino may not be better than Carvajal.
Even better.
Not only the relationship with the media, Carvajal has a great influence in Spanish football because he has many Spanish international players. Currently, the most famous head coaches in Spain also have a deep relationship with him. If Carvajal has a
With Har's support, Riester and Carvajal were able to command half of Spain's resources.
"How are you? I'm going to take office soon. I have some ideas about Tottenham's future."
"certainly."
Speaking of work, Arnesen is very confident. He didn't hide anything from Lister. He smiled and said: "Tottenham now has a lot of powerful players, but the entire team is too scattered. They introduced players before.
Too blind, there are too many good players in some positions, and there are lack of players in some positions. I already have my own ideas about the adjustment of the team. I will use three years to build Tottenham into the top team in the Premier League.
.”
From the general manager of Eindhoven to the director of football of Tottenham, it was a leap for Arnesen. Although he was in charge of everything at Eindhoven, when he came to Tottenham he was only in charge of the sports department. But the platform is
It’s different. After the Bosman Act, the status of the Eredivisie has dropped significantly. Although PSV is a giant in the Eredivisie, its status is no longer as good as that of the Premier League. In terms of influence, it is far inferior to Tottenham.
"However, List, I still need your help. I have just contacted Tottenham's scouts, and they also gave me their information. But to be honest, many of their player information do not meet my requirements. Even in
It seems to me that Tottenham’s scouting system is terrible. I doubt they have a complete scouting system.”
The Eredivisie and the Premier League are completely different. When he was at Eindhoven, Arnesen's eyes were mainly focused on the Netherlands, Eastern Europe and South America. Because the Eredivisie has become the youth training base for several major European leagues
, so what Eindhoven has introduced are talented players. After cultivating them, they will sell them. This is Arnesen’s job. So the player information Arnesen currently has are all young talented players.
But it's different when it comes to Tottenham. Tottenham's ambition is not this. Tottenham hopes to be a strong Premier League team and hopes to become a strong team that dominates Europe. Therefore, Tottenham's requirements are also different. Tottenham no longer
It's not just about talented players, it's about strong players. It's about first-class players, even top players.
Therefore, although Arnesen has a wide network of contacts, he has not been able to find the players Tottenham needs for a while. But he cannot waste time. Although his contact with Daniel Levy is limited, he clearly understands that Daniel Levy is a utilitarian.
The strong chairman is a typical Jewish businessman. If he cannot deliver satisfactory results within two or three years, Arnesen believes that his job at Tottenham will be over. But if he wants to get results quickly, Arnesen
Nathan could only find Lister.
Lister's player information is rich, and Arnesen has experienced it. Arnesen believes that if he wants players at any level, Lister will have players.
"Frank, you have too little contact with Premier League teams. None of the mid- and lower-tier Premier League teams have their own scouting systems. It is very common for several clubs to share several scouts."
Tottenham have been too turbulent in the past decade or so. They either have a layman chairman or a weird coach, but none of them really consider Tottenham. Therefore, Tottenham has no time to establish a complete scouting system.
"I am also surprised. I thought that the scouting system of a strong Premier League team like Tottenham should be very complete and the coverage should be very wide. So, List, I need your help now."
"You're welcome. Frank, feel free to make any requests. For players at any position and at any level, I will give you sufficient player information."
"Thanks."
With List's guarantee, Arnesen breathed a sigh of relief. As long as there is sufficient player information, Arnesen is very confident in his abilities. Among those players, he thinks he has enough ability to be selected by Tottenham.
The best.
"Rister, if you have any good players you can recommend first. I will also give priority to your players. I have full confidence in the strength of your players."
Since they are all signings, Arnesen will of course give priority to Lister's players. After all, Lister and Arnesen also have a deep-seated interest relationship. Helping Lister means helping himself. Lister makes money. That is
Make your own money.
Lister smiled and said: "Frank, how much can Tottenham give you? Do Tottenham have the money to bring in my players?"
Lister is not an angel. He wants to bring the gospel of God to mankind. Lister tried his best to let Arnesen join Tottenham just for his own benefit. Daniel Levy is in business. But he also wants to
The spurs are good, so he won't be too stingy with money. Therefore, List is also considering how to stuff his own players into Tottenham. It's just that Arnesen has just taken over and Redknapp has not yet joined.
Tottenham, so they did not directly arrange their own players for the future.
Neither Arneson nor Redknapp likes to be manipulated. Even if List wants to control his own players, he cannot let Arneson and Redknapp think that he wants to control them. Therefore, List will not take the initiative.
.If Arneson and Redknapp are smart, they will definitely bring up this matter.
"Lister, you don't have to worry about money. Tottenham will spend at least 40 to 50 million pounds this summer. And I will purge a group of players. There will definitely be no shortage of money."
"That's good."
List is now a little short of money. After paying 15 million euros to Dortmund, List has not much cash on hand. Fortunately, he just signed Torres' contract, so List will not be empty.
Yes, but Riester is still short of money. Riester will not let it go this summer.
"Lister, other than Everton's goalkeepers, please leave them to me."
"Petr Cech?"
"kindness."
Cech has performed very well since arriving at Everton. It should be said that Cech is a goalkeeper suitable for the Premier League. In the Premier League's high-flying style of play, Cech is tall, long-armed and responsive. This season has only passed half a season.
Cech also won the Premier League Player of the Month once. This is really because Cech, who just came to the Premier League, performed so well. Even at the end of the half-season, the goalkeeper position in the Premier League's best half-season team was Peter Cech.
.
Some people are geniuses and can shine no matter where they are. Although the Czech Republic won the World Cup, Cech did not shine too much. But after arriving at Everton, Cech shocked the entire British football world because Cech
His performance was really outstanding. And the important thing is that Cech is only 20 years old and is a truly talented goalkeeper.
Goalkeepers are the same as defenders, the more experience they have, the stronger they are. Cech was the best goalkeeper in the Premier League at the age of 20, and his future can be seen. Unexpectedly, Arnesen targeted Cech when he arrived.
"Tottenham want Petr Cech?"
"right."
Arnesen said with certainty. In order to start working at Tottenham, Arnesen had learned a lot about the Premier League. Among the players he introduced must be players who have played in the English league. Talents like Cech
A goalkeeper who has also played in the Premier League is most suitable for Tottenham to introduce.
List did not immediately make a statement. List's original idea was to let Cech stay at Everton for two years, and then wait for the wealthy Chelsea to buy him. Unexpectedly, something like this happened in the middle, and Tottenham wanted to buy Cech. Tottenham was not
The best place for Cech.
In the future Premier League, Ferguson and Wenger will definitely be old foxes. No matter how difficult the club is, no matter how the two clubs decline, as long as there are two of them, there will not be too much turmoil and they can overcome any difficulties. In the past, even if there was a slump for one or two seasons, it would come out quickly. As for Liverpool, Lister would spare no effort to support Benitez.
As for Chelsea, there is no need to think about it. Frankly speaking, there is only one thing in modern football, and that is money. Once Abramovich comes to Chelsea, no one can stop the rise of Chelsea. As long as the money is spent, the good players from Chelsea will One after another, such clubs cannot block his rise. Therefore, Chelsea is a good place for Cech.
"Frank, let me tell you the truth. There are other uses for keeping Peter. But since you have asked, I can agree to it. But Peter's contract must include liquidated damages."
"What are you..."
Arnesen said half of what he said, but did not continue. Liquidated damages, Premier League players' contracts generally do not have any liquidated damages. Arnesen is very smart, and he understood what Lister was thinking as soon as he heard what he meant. So he nodded. , said: "It's easy to handle. If a wealthy family wants him, I won't be in his way."
"That's good. By the way, Frank. When thinking about the defense, consider Materazzi from Middlesbrough."
