Chapter 533 Messi Is Not for Sale!

Ye Qiu's reaction surprised not only Messi, but also Fabregas.

All along, in their view, although the club did not add fuel to the flames of Messi's transfer to Manchester City, at least they were positive about it, because a transfer fee of 150 million euros was an irresistible temptation for any team.

So when he heard Messi say that he did not want to join Manchester City, his first reaction was that this matter was probably going to be difficult.

In the past few years, especially as a person in the football circle, he had heard some inside information that others did not know, such as a certain team acting righteous in front of the media, but actually secretly forcing players to transfer in exchange for high transfer fees. This kind of thing is not uncommon even in teams such as Barcelona and Real Madrid.

But the result of the matter surprised him a little. That is, when Messi told Ye Qiu that he did not want to join Manchester City, Ye Qiu's first reaction was to nod, and then said with a bit of blandness, if you don't want to go to Manchester City, then stay.

The whole process was not only surprising to Fabregas as a bystander, but also to Messi himself.

A transfer of 150 million euros, so simple and easy to solve?

The club has been running around for this transfer in the past six months, and now it is so easily cancelled?

Especially when Ye Qiu smiled and said, "Actually, I don't want you to transfer either!" When Ye Qiu said this, not only Messi was moved by him, but Fabregas was also moved by him.

If anyone had to choose between 150 million euros and a player, who would you choose?

Fabregas believed that all teams in the world, even the super rich man in Real Madrid, would definitely choose 150 million without hesitation, because this money is a huge sum of money no matter who it is in.

From Canary Wharf to the north, on the way home, Fabregas kept thinking about a question, why did Ye Qiu agree to Messi's request so easily? You know, it was 150 million euros!

Perhaps, there is only one explanation, that is, Ye Qiu feels that some things are more important and worthy of attention than 150 million euros, and from the past years of interaction, Fabregas feels that Ye Qiu is a super rich man with ideals and pursuits, and more importantly, he loves football very much.

From the fact that he has put aside his business and continued to stick to his coaching for so many years, it is not difficult to see his love for football, so he now keeps Messi, which seems surprising on the surface, but in fact, it is not surprising.

Because this is the boss in the eyes of Fabregas and others!

Someone once said that the luckiest thing for a professional player is to meet a head coach who understands and reuses himself, and has very obvious tactical pursuits. Fabregas has always felt that he is very lucky because he met Ye Qiu, but now he also feels lucky that Ye Qiu is not only the head coach of Tottenham Hotspur, but also the owner of the club.

Looking at what Ye Qiu and Tottenham Hotspur did to Messi, and thinking back to the past two years, Barcelona made empty promises to him again and again. Under such an obvious contrast, he felt a little dissatisfied with Barcelona for the first time in his heart, because he felt that he was a little played and used.

When he played at a high level in Tottenham Hotspur, Barcelona contacted Fabregas' parents, contacted Fabregas through his parents, and made a promise that Barcelona was eager to bring him in, but they ended up bringing in Deco.

Fabregas never concealed his desire to return to Barcelona, ​​because this team is a holy place in the eyes of all Catalans. All Catalans hope to wear the jersey of this team and play for this team. Some people even said that only by wearing the jersey of Barcelona can you be regarded as a hero of Catalonia.

So Fabregas had felt that he was very close to Barcelona many times, but from Deco to the current Messi, Barcelona seemed to be getting farther and farther away from him.

Dislike for their youth training products is a typical problem of all the top teams, from Real Madrid to Barcelona, ​​even including Manchester United, Arsenal, Inter Milan and AC Milan, almost all the top teams are like this.

But as a professional player, Fabregas can understand, because it is impossible for all professional players to play in the first team and have the strength to fight for the team. This is also the reason why he chose to leave Barcelona and come to England.

But the problem is that players are not goods. It is not that you think of it today, need it, and bring it up and talk about it, and you are happy, but have you ever thought about the feelings of the players?

Real Madrid is like this, and Barcelona is not the same?

Fabregas is now finding more and more clearly that he can't live with an illusory promise from the Barcelona executives, because relatively speaking, Ye Qiu's promise to him is more realistic, that is, as long as Barcelona can give Tottenham Hotspur a satisfactory price, they can take Fabregas away at any time.

"Don't think that I measure you with money. On the contrary, I measure Barcelona's sincerity to you with money!"

"If their so-called sincerity is to let you wear Tottenham's jersey but help Barcelona put pressure on you, do you think this is sincerity? Do you think they value you?"

Looking up from the skylight on the roof of the BMW, the sky in England is gray, which is very different from the sunny Spain. Although Fabregas likes to see the south where the sun can shine, he has also become accustomed to the cold and humid England.

Perhaps, this gray sky is like the relationship between him and Barcelona, ​​which is difficult to explain and distinguish clearly, but it is like the car he is sitting in and the road he is driving on, which represent a living reality, that is, Tottenham.

When Fabregas was thinking about it on the way home, Ye Qiu returned to White Hart Lane from Canary Wharf.

Seeing him rushing back in such a hurry, the employees of the administrative department were a little shocked, and when he told Peter Kenyon and others about his conversation with Messi, the scene also surprised him.

"I don't object!" Peter Kenyon and Ron Gourley looked at each other, and the bald man smiled and raised his hand in agreement.

"I don't object either!" Ron Gourley also spoke.

Robert Milson raised his hands, "I never object!"

"Why?" Ye Qiu was a little surprised, pointing at the group of guys who were laughing in a puzzling way, and smiled bitterly.

Peter Kenyon thought for a moment, "From the perspective of the club operator, we can earn 150 million euros by selling Messi. This is a one-time deal. Of course, we have made a lot, but if we keep Messi, we will indeed earn 150 million euros less, but the strength of the club is guaranteed."

"Moreover, we can compensate part of the loss through sponsors. If Messi stays, we will have more bargaining chips to negotiate with sponsors, and we can recover some losses at that time. In addition, fans have always been against selling Messi."

Since the outside world announced that Messi would transfer to Manchester City after the end of the season, there have been a million Tottenham fans who are unwilling to do so, because Messi is the team's current top star and the team's frontcourt tactical core. If he leaves, the team's performance will inevitably be affected. More importantly, who doesn't want the team they support to always be star-studded?

"As you said, money is endless, but there is only one Messi!" Ron Gourlay was more concise.

Ye Qiu glanced at Robert Milson, who was also very quick-witted. Everything that needed to be said had been said by these two guys, so he looked at it from another angle, "I think we can keep Messi and take the opportunity to build the team into a wealthy team that all players flock to, so that everyone knows that we don't sell all players. We manage in a humane way and we want to provide players with a family warmth."

Ye Qiu glanced at these three guys, known as the Tottenham Hotspur senior iron triangle, in charge of three different areas, but each of them is a top talent, and they have also grown along with Tottenham Hotspur, and their own work ability is getting better and better.

Just like Peter Kenyon and Ron Gourlay, after experiencing Chelsea's Waterloo, everyone suspected that the bald guy was no longer good, but in Tottenham Hotspur, he built this North London team into the top team in Europe in just three years, and Tottenham Hotspur's management has completely caught up with Arsenal.

You know, this is achieved on the basis that there is only one Emirates Stadium between Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal. If Tottenham Hotspur moves into the new stadium, the huge gap between the two teams will be more vivid.

There is also Robert Milson, who was born as a journalist, but his previous work was basically a public relations consultant in some companies. He has no fame, no status and influence, but now it is different. Speaking of Tottenham Hotspur's Robert Milson, who in the industry doesn't know him? Who doesn't give a thumbs up?

Tottenham Hotspur has almost never had a scandal in the past three years, and Robert Milson has made great contributions!

Many people used to wonder why Tottenham Hotspur didn't have the kind of intrigue that other big clubs had?

The reason is very simple. The main contradiction is the conflict of interests and authority. Tottenham adopts a high salary policy. The salaries of the three major managements are very high, and the distribution of authority is also relatively reasonable. Everyone has a clear authority boundary, which can minimize friction and conflict.

Chinese people have a saying, "Speak the ugly words in advance", which is the truth.

"Okay, since you all agree, let's do it!" Ye Qiu didn't say much. Many things are tacitly understood by everyone. "Peter, give me Mubarak's phone number, I will tell him personally that Messi is not for sale!"

"I'll call!" Peter Kenyon laughed after hearing this, "You are our boss, of course we will come forward for you in this matter."

With Peter Kenyon's call, Mubarak felt very sorry for the decision of Tottenham and Messi.

In fact, he himself knows the key issue. After all, in addition to Messi's feelings for Tottenham Hotspur, a very important reason is that Manchester City's performance is so bad that everyone knows that there is only one reason to transfer to Manchester City, and that is money!

But Mubarak was not discouraged by this, but hoped to continue to maintain friendly relations with the top management of Tottenham Hotspur. After all, their Abu Dhabi consortium has almost no connections in the football circle, but Tottenham Hotspur, let alone Ye Qiu, even the three major managements, which one is not a figure with great connections in the football circle?

As Tottenham Hotspur announced Messi's stay the next day, the whole world was shocked by this news, because they never thought that a transfer that was originally ironclad would suddenly take such a turn, and Tottenham Hotspur fully exaggerated Messi's loyalty to the team and Tottenham Hotspur's protection of players in the news and publicity.

Sometimes a transfer does not have to be successful to make big news, just like this time Messi's transfer, although it failed, is also very explosive news.

After Messi's transfer failed, the transfer market also experienced great turbulence. Manchester City may have been hit by the two transfers of Kaka and Messi in a row, which made their transfers tend to be low-key. The players they looked for next were basically pragmatic. After all, everyone knew that with Manchester City's current strength, it was almost impossible to introduce top teams.

On the contrary, Manchester United, not long after Florentino took office, announced that Cristiano Ronaldo would be transferred to Real Madrid. Ferguson personally held a press conference and announced that Real Madrid would use Sneijder and Las Diarra to bear part of the transfer fee, and the specific transfer amount was kept secret.

Everyone was shocked. After eating Benzema and Rooney, two forwards, Ferguson also began to cut the midfield. Sneijder and Las Diarra are both excellent midfield stars. In this way, Manchester United's lineup in the new season is bound to be so strong that it is shocking.

However, Ferguson also denied at this press conference that Manchester United had no intention of introducing Robben.

This made Ye Qiu smell some signs, that is, Manchester United's offense is finally going to be disordered.

Tevez, Benzema and Rooney, the three forwards are all team players who have strong personal abilities and can cooperate with teammates. They not only have skills, strength and speed, but more importantly, they are willing to fight.

With Sneijder, Las Diarra and Carrick behind them, Manchester United's midfield strength is also good. Coupled with the already very solid defense line, it can be said that Manchester United's lineup for the new season is definitely worth everyone's expectations.

After eating Kaka and Cristiano Ronaldo, Real Madrid also announced again that it had introduced Welsh winger Gareth Bale and Spanish defender Arbeloa from Tottenham Hotspur at a high price of 55 million euros plus 20 million euros.

In Ye Qiu's previous life, the reason why Arbeloa transferred from Liverpool to Real Madrid at a low price was because his contract only had one year left, and the player himself was willing to return to Real Madrid, so the price was very low. But now the situation is different. Arbeloa is much more famous than Ye Qiu in his previous life. Just say that his contract has just been renewed for one year, which is the peak period of his price. Therefore, if Real Madrid does not offer a high price, Tottenham Hotspur will not agree to let him go.

The Spanish media also broke the news again that after Real Madrid was rejected in the introduction of Fabregas, it has set its next signing target on Spanish midfielder Xabi Alonso. Liverpool has given the green light to the Spanish player to leave the team.

While introducing stars, Real Madrid's sales are also continuing. Among them, the most valuable players are Robben, Huntelaar and Van der Vaart. In addition, a group of young players in Real Madrid have also attracted the attention of many teams, such as Parejo, Neymar, Miguel Torres and other players. In fact, their strength is not bad, but they are currently facing the possibility of leaving the team.

Unlike Real Madrid, which has made big investments to bring in and sell players in an attempt to rebuild a strong team in the shortest possible time, Barcelona's most important problem now lies in the forward line, so Guardiola's transfer strategy this summer is still to strengthen the midfield.

After selling Eto'o for 30 million euros, Barcelona's first transfer was to bring in striker Kairison from Palmeiras in Brazil for 14 million euros, but the club still has a lot of transfer fees and hopes to bring in two frontfield attackers, and Barcelona is currently carrying out transfer operations in full swing.

In the front center, Guardiola mainly chooses between Ibrahimovic and Van Persie, and the other attacker is between Villa of Valencia and Alexis Sanchez of Ajax. Barcelona has also asked Tottenham Hotspur about Van Persie's offer, and Van Persie also told the team through his agent that he is not opposed to joining Barcelona.

It is reported that Cruyff personally talked to Van Persie and convinced the Dutchman.

Tottenham Hotspur sold Gareth Bale after confirming that Messi would not leave, but still gave the green light to Van Persie's transfer, but offered a whopping 80 million euros to Barcelona, ​​which made Barcelona so angry that they almost cursed, because the Bats also offered a whopping 60 million euros to David Villa.

But it's no wonder, David Villa is now being pursued by Real Madrid and Barcelona at the same time, the Bats are indeed not worried about not having a buyer, and the same is true for Tottenham Hotspur.

And Barcelona's second signing in the summer was the Chilean winger Alexis Sanchez from Ajax at a high price of 35 million euros. This is also the second time that Ajax has broken its own transfer record after Sneijder.

According to the previous agreement between the two parties, Ajax asked Ye Qiu when accepting Barcelona's offer, but considering such a high price, Tottenham Hotspur finally gave up the pursuit of Alexis Sanchez.

Ye Qiu's top priority now is obviously not the winger position, but the left back and the forward!
