Chapter 657: One Darkness to the End

If you want to make Arturo? If Vidal were to pick a manager he respected the most, it would undoubtedly be Heynckes.

In the latter's two years at Leverkusen, Vidal has transformed from a confused backfield all-rounder to a core midfield member of the pharmaceutical factory, and he has transformed from a rough brother with one goal, two assists and fourteen yellow cards in a single season to a Bundesliga steal king with ten goals, eleven assists and five yellow cards in a single season.

Many have said that without Vidal, Bayer Leverkusen would not have finished runners-up in the league and reached the Champions League last season.

Under the **** of Heynckes, Vidal adjusted his mentality, as well as his attitude on the field, and his never-ending fighting passion made him a core member of Bayer Leverkusen, a key figure in the team's midfield, and also made him the brightest star of the Bundesliga last season.

Just look at how many of the big teams are chasing Vidal right now!

Heynckes' Bayern Munich have targeted Vidal with the most important summer signings, Inter Milan, AC Milan, Juventus, Napoli, Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, Chelsea, Arsenal, West Ham United, Newcastle, Manchester City...... The teams pursuing Vidal are almost all of the top teams in Europe.

Of all the teams pursuing Vidal, the Chilean wants to go to Heynckes' Bayern Munich the most, because he knows very well that Heynckes knows him and knows how to use him, so he is willing to continue to play under Heynckes, because he believes that joining Bayern Munich will complete a major transformation and improvement in his career.

So Vidal also released through his agent to leave Bayer Leverkusen, he wants to go to Bayern Munich, which is an agreement between him and Heynckes, and Bayern Munich also wants to get the Chilean international.

But things in the world are often like this, the more people are seen as ironclad, especially the management of Bayern Munich, who feels that the players tend to themselves, and Leverkusen can't keep people, and the introduction of Vidal should be nine times out of ten, Leverkusen also showed his strength not to admit defeat, announcing to the outside world that he would not sell to anyone and not sell to Bayern Munich.

The reason is simple, Bayern Munich is desperately trying to lower the price on the one hand, and on the other hand, they are encouraging the player's agent to stay at Bayer Leverkusen for another year, and then move to Bayern Munich on a free transfer in 2012, which is simply humiliating for Bayer Munich.

It's already a loss to sell the star of the house, and you still want to get an inch?

If the Bundesliga teams were willing to sell players to Bayern Munich in the past, it was more because they had suffered a lot of losses in European cross-border transfer transactions, such as many transfer payments were owed or even repaid, and this kind of cross-border transfer transactions were very troublesome to pursue, so relatively speaking, they were more willing to sell to Bayern Munich, which has deep pockets in their country.

Although this is a bit of a boost to one's opponents and weakens oneself, it is better than being relied upon for cross-border transactions.

But now, as the European transfer market becomes more and more regulated and rigorous, many Bundesliga teams have no worries about this, and Bayer Leverkusen now has the initiative, so they can demand that the buyers pay in cash.

Vidal is also a little dissatisfied with Bayern Munich's operation and ideas, because he prefers to transfer to Bayern Munich at the right price without falling out with Leverkusen, but now Bayern Munich's approach makes him very embarrassed and difficult to do.

Therefore, for the past half a month, Vidal and Heynckes have remained silent.

In an interview with reporters before the Copa America, Vidal was asked that he couldn't help it, and he said that he would think about his future after the Copa America, and this time he no longer mentioned that he only wanted to join Bayern Munich.

"Based on what I've got, there are a lot of teams that want to buy me, and Bayern Munich have really been trying to sign me, but Bayer Leverkusen doesn't want to sell me to a team from the same country, so if I can join Bayern Munich, of course it's great, but if not, I think it's normal because I'm a professional!"

Bayer Leverkusen also officially said that they still have one year on their contract with Vidal, and they will not sell Vidal to a direct competitor, and even if they want to transfer, it is impossible to join other Bundesliga teams.

In fact, everyone knows that the strategy adopted by Leverkusen is the same as Schalke 04's strategy of selling Neuer, the so-called not selling to the same national team, not selling to competitors, is just a strategy of bargaining, the key is that you Bayern, as a direct competitor of Leverkusen, want to poach people from the pharmaceutical factory, you can, come up with a higher price!

But Bayern Munich is also an iron rooster with a dime, don't look at Bayern Munich's annual income is so big, almost every year profits, but in the operation of the transfer market, they have always maintained a very restrained strategy, so in Vidal's transfer, Bayern Munich did not have the slightest relaxation, there is a big idea that you don't sell, I will get the player, and delay the idea of a free transfer after a year.

But just when Vidal was still thinking about whether he would stay in the Bundesliga next season, or go to other teams, and whether he would be able to participate in the Champions League as he wished, his agent Felicevic called him and conveyed an invitation from Bayer Leverkusen, which Vidal may find difficult to refuse.

Ye Qiu's Tottenham Hotspur!

Tottenham Hotspur have been the fastest-rising club over the past few seasons, with almost nothing more than they can do in the last five years, with a miracle night in Moscow, a Champions League defence and a Premier League treble in a row, plus a UEFA Cup and a number of other cups.

Not only that, but there are also superstars such as Messi, Ribery, Fabregas and other superstars in this Tottenham Hotspur team, and even the outside world has been saying that whoever Ye Qiu has taken a fancy to is the future superstar, which shows how big this team is to professional players.

When Vidal heard that Tottenham Hotspur were interested in him and made an offer for Bayer Leverkusen, his first reaction was to say yes, but soon, he was reminded by his agent and realized that there was a problem, that is, how would he secure his place after joining Tottenham Hotspur?

"Perhaps, they want you to replace Yaya? Toure's midfield position! Agent Felicevic guessed.

But what Vidal didn't expect was that when he finished playing Mexico in San Juan, Ye Qiu took the chief assistant coach Mauro? Tasotti was seen at the hotel where the Chilean team was stationed.

Ye Qiu's presence made the Chilean national team feel very honored, including the head coach, including the team leader, including the officials of the Football Association, who came out to meet him, not to mention the players, Alexis? Sanchez is more familiar with Ye Qiu, although he has never played in Tottenham Hotspur, but he has always had a good relationship with Ye Qiu.

After a polite meeting at a time, Ye Qiu and Mauro? Tasotti and Vidal found a place to sit down in the hotel, Ye Qiu first praised Vidal's performance in the game with Mexico, and scored a key goal, Vidal's state and performance are indeed good.

Ye Qiu's intention, Vidal is also very clear, to be honest, to join Tottenham Hotspur and play in the Premier League, he hardly needs to hesitate, the only worry is, can he have a place in the Tottenham Hotspur team?

But soon, this only doubt was also dispelled by Ye Qiu, because the latter clearly told him that this summer, Tottenham Hotspur will restructure the midfield, Vidal will get the opportunity to prove his strength in the new season, and even Ye Qiu told him some of his tactical ideas.

"You know, there's no way I'm going to promise anyone his main and starting position!"

Ye Qiu's words made Vidal nod involuntarily, because almost no head coach would do this, especially those managers who have their own ideas, including Bielsa and Heynckes, they will never promise to give you the main position, if you want to play, then use your strength and form to fight.

"But what I can promise is that I'm not going to just bring in a player, I'm only going to bring in the kind of player that I think will help the team and what the team needs, and now I believe that you can strengthen our Tottenham midfield very well, not only in your defense, but also in your attack!"

"I believe that you can play an important role in the new season, in the restructured Tottenham Hotspur squad, and that's why I decided to bring you in, the only reason!"

Ye Qiu's words greatly encouraged Vidal, these words almost revealed that Ye Qiu was optimistic about him, and being able to make Ye Qiu travel all the way from Europe to South America, especially to a remote city like San Juan, these are enough to see that Ye Qiu attaches great importance to him.

"Don't worry, I didn't plan to ask you to agree today, talk to your agent and give me a reply!"

Ye Qiu is not as difficult as a strongman, but Bidal is a little impatient, "No, no, no, Mr. Ye Qiu......"

After a pause, the Chilean stood up, "I...... It's a great honour to join Tottenham Hotspur, I'll let my agent talk to you and I hope to help Tottenham Hotspur continue to win more titles and glory in the future! ”

Ye Qiu also stood up, stretched out his hand with a smile, and shook hands with Vidal, "I hope so too!" ”

Vidal and Mauro after that? Tasotti shook hands, and then the three of them sat down again and continued to exchange ideas about the future situation, and to Vidal's surprise, Ye Qiu's operation on the midfield this time was so big that it would even surprise everyone, which was simply a sign of completely overturning the reorganization.

You must know that any mature and stable team now, the midfield must not be chaotic, the midfield is chaotic, the front and back will definitely have problems, Manchester United was like this, so the midfield is very important to the top team.

But Ye Qiu's courage and determination to carry out such a huge reform of the midfield this time are extraordinary.

But judging from the prospects outlined by Ye Qiu, if it really succeeds, Tottenham Hotspur will definitely be able to return to the top of Europe.

Hearing this, Vidal couldn't help but be even more full of anticipation for his trip to north London, because he knew that if he did go that far, he would have a chance to win the coveted Champions League!

For the Chilean national team, the World Cup and Copa America are almost a distant dream, but it would be a dream to win the Champions League at Tottenham Hotspur.

…………

…………

In Ye Qiu quietly with Mauro? Three days after Tasotti left for Argentina to secretly finalize Vidal's transfer, Tottenham Hotspur pushed a message to all fans and reporters on their official website and mobile app that the team had brought in Chilean midfielder Arturo from Bayer Leverkusen for 12 million euros. Vidal.

The 24-year-old midfielder has been described by many Bundesliga fans as a bolt of fire, capable of making outstanding contributions in both attack and defence, but more importantly, he has the skills of a South American player at his feet, is a very well-rounded midfielder, and was the best performer in the Bundesliga last season.

The current Bundesliga players can be said to be synonymous with cost performance, Real Madrid wants to get Dortmund's midfield core Shahin, the estimated transfer fee is 10 million euros, and Vidal's transfer price to Tottenham Hotspur is only 12 million euros, which is very cost-effective.

For Tottenham Hotspur to recall Sandro from Ajax and Vidal from Bayer Leverkusen, the outside world has given high praise, believing that Tottenham Hotspur will continue to maintain Ye Qiu's style of operation, and win more with cost-effective reinforcements, rather than blindly promoting balloon stars.

And more people think that Ye Qiu is introducing two midfielders to replace Yaya? Toure's position, after all, in the second half of last season, Tottenham Hotspur suffered from the pain of the back, so now two players have been brought in in one go, obviously to plug this hole.

But just three days after the team announced the introduction of two midfielders, Barcelona's daily sports newspaper was the first to reveal the latest news, Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Cesc Fabregas will join Barcelona, and the transfer fee is likely to set a record for the value of a Spanish player.

To know that Torres used Chelsea's 65 million euros when he transferred to Chelsea, but the worst thing is that after Torres transferred to Chelsea, his performance was not outstanding, especially after Ancelotti's resignation, whether the new coach Boas can reactivate Torres when he comes to power is also a question that everyone is concerned about.

Cesc Fabregas has been a midfielder in the squad over the past few seasons, while Barcelona and Real Madrid have also been keen to acquire the Spanish midfielder, and even in the Premier League, including Manchester City, Newcastle, West Ham United and even Liverpool, they are hoping for the central midfielder.

Especially before, it was published by the Spanish newspaper Ace Newspaper that Real Madrid has launched an offensive against Tottenham Hotspur's Cesc Fabregas, and quoted a transfer price of 60 million euros, but was rejected by Tottenham Hotspur.

Barcelona's Rosell was soon interviewed by Catalan regional television, saying that Barcelona would not pay a huge price for Cesc Fabregas, "because we already have Andres Iniesta and Xavi, I don't think Cesc Fabregas is an indispensable player for the team!" ”

Tottenham Hotspur's attitude was also very tough, and immediately counterattacked. Speaking to Sky TV, Gully hit back: "We get a quote fax almost every hour in our fax machine, and it includes Barcelona, and if Rosell is telling the truth, then we would welcome it because no one wants to send their star away!" ”

At the same time, the Guardian and The Times have also published comments from a management within Tottenham Hotspur, and Tottenham Hotspur may refuse to continue negotiations with Barcelona in response to Rosell's remarks and consider selling Cesc Fabregas to Real Madrid.

Barcelona immediately made amends for the tough response from Tottenham Hotspur, and vice president Bartomeu said that the media misunderstood what Rosell meant, "In fact, the introduction of Cesc Fabregas for us, in addition to improving the team's combat effectiveness at a competitive level, more importantly, he can reactivate the team's morale and fighting spirit, which is also the wish of all members!" ”

Barcelona defeated Alex Ferguson's Manchester United in the Champions League final in May this year to win another Champions League, which completely shattered Ferguson's dream of defending the Champions League, so Barcelona has enough money to invest in reinforcements.

But it is obvious that Tottenham Hotspur has now put on a full posture, in Ye Qiu's words, since Russell is so arrogant, let him kneel outside the door for an hour, stick out his tongue for an hour, and then talk to them!

Ye Qiu was very dissatisfied with Russell's practice of poaching players, when I didn't sell, you did everything possible to poach the corners, and now I want to sell it, but you have an attitude of ignoring it, don't really think that it is great to have a little money in your hand, if you want to play with means, who is afraid of whom?

If you want to talk about playing public opinion warfare, Tottenham Hotspur really hasn't been afraid of anyone.

On the one hand, Tottenham Hotspur refused to negotiate with Barcelona for a long time, and on the other hand, they began to disclose Real Madrid's offer through the media in a high-profile manner, in fact, the price given by Real Madrid was not so high, it was 50 million euros before, but now it has risen to 55 million euros, but Tottenham Hotspur's asking price is 70 million euros.

Almost the whole world was frightened by Tottenham Hotspur's lion's mouth, because Fabregas, no matter how strong he was, could hardly sell for such a high price.

But as Ferguson is now complaining, he asked David to do the same. Jill put Cristiano? Ronaldo's transfer offer has been raised to more than 150 million euros, David? Gil thought it was impossible to have such a crazy price that would scare off Real Madrid, so it ended up being Cristiano? Ronaldo's bargain.

Later, Ferguson said that for a membership-based team like Real Madrid and Barcelona, when they promised to bring in a superstar, it was a political task that had to be met, otherwise the members would vote in protest.

Florentino beat Sanz and Gaspart beat Nunez, and it turned out that Ferguson was right.

Unless you offer a price that they simply can't afford, they'll agree to that as long as it's within their acceptable range, Real Madrid is like that, and Barcelona is like that.

And Ye Qiu is also to Peter? Kenyon and Ron? Gulley said that since you want to be a black shop, you have to be black to the end!

But while selling people, the pace of the team's recruitment has not slowed down, and it is still proceeding in an orderly manner. Say, since Russell is so arrogant, then let him kneel outside the door for an hour, stick out his tongue for an hour, and talk to them again!
