Volume 1 Chapter 595 The Troubled Times of the Premier League

On that night in May, London never sleeps, and even the next day, countless fans gathered outside White Hart Lane and Stratford Stadium at Olympic Park to celebrate.

In particular, the parade of all the players of the Tottenham Hotspur first team in the bus around the city attracted the attention of everyone in the city, and countless fans of Tottenham Hotspur and other teams participated in this grand event.

Once a year, after Ye Qiu took over Tottenham Hotspur, the north London team has such a parade around the city almost every year, which has become a habit for Tottenham Hotspur fans, and the team has never disappointed them, bringing championships and honors again and again.

But after the big celebration, it all goes on.

A week later, on the afternoon of 9 May, Tottenham Hotspur beat promoted Burnley away 0 to end the season, and although Chelsea beat Wigan Athletic 0 in the last round, it didn't help.

At this point, the entire 0910 season of the Premier League finally came to an end, and Tottenham Hotspur finally won a record of 34 wins, three draws and one loss, and got a record 105 points, becoming the team with the highest points rate in the history of the Premier League, but more importantly, Tottenham Hotspur completed an unprecedented proud record of winning all against strong teams.

Falcao, who scored a hat-trick in the last round, got his wish to win the Premier League's top scorer, while Messi won the Premier League's assist king and the Premier League's top scorer Silver Boot winner.

Tottenham Hotspur's Premier League campaign this season has come to a successful end, with Tottenham Hotspur setting a number of Premier League records this season, which has led all journalists and professionals to agree that Tottenham Hotspur's title this season is full of gold and deserved.

Even, there are many people who regret that Tottenham Hotspur missed the Champions League final because of a misjudgment, but for this, Ye Qiu said in an interview that the team will continue to strengthen its own strength, further adjust the team's skills and tactics to a more reasonable structure, and will definitely make a difference in the Champions League

"Defending the Champions League, for us, will definitely not be a flash in the pan, we will not be second at Nottingham Forest"

It is important to know that Nottingham Forest also created brilliance under the leadership of Clough and won the miracle of defending the Champions League, but immediately after, Nottingham Forest gradually declined, and now it is sinking in the lower leagues and missing the Premier League.

Ye Qiu believes that Tottenham Hotspur's current adjustment is to return to the top of Europe in the near future, and Tottenham Hotspur's goal for next season will not change, which is still the two championship trophies of the Premier League and the Champions League.

However, Tottenham Hotspur's performance is so eye-catching, especially the Colombian center Romedal Falcao who has suddenly become popular this season, has received widespread attention from the outside world, and Ribery, Messi, Fabregas, David Silva and other stars have also been hyped as always, and the objects are nothing more than Manchester City, Real Madrid and Barcelona.

Frankly speaking, for such a high transfer price for Tottenham Hotspur players, except for Real Madrid, Barcelona and Manchester City, almost no team can afford it, and when Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale switched to Real Madrid, but Real Madrid failed to break Barcelona's monopoly on La Liga, Florentino also said again that Real Madrid will further increase investment.

Because of Ye Qiu's arrival, Real Madrid's situation has changed this season, and instead of suffering the shame of being humiliated by the Copa del Rey team in the previous life, the Spanish capital giants finally reached the Copa del Rey final, and they are very hopeful of winning the championship, and the results with Barcelona in the league are also one win and one loss

Although Pellegrini's team failed to make a breakthrough in the Champions League, the addition of Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale has improved the strength of the two wings of the horse, plus Higuain in front, the strength of Real Madrid's trident is not inferior to Manchester United, but it is not as good as Tottenham Hotspur's attacking power.

With Manuel Pellegrini choosing to stay on and continue to be entrusted with important tasks, the Chilean engineer will also continue to revamp Real Madrid, especially in the midfield, and it is reported that he has made a list of two positions for Florentino and Baldano, namely defensive midfielder and central defender.

It is reported that in Pellegrini's list, the most desired in the midfield position is Yaya Toure from Tottenham Hotspur, the Ivorian who has not performed well in the past, but his performances in the past season or two have been impressive, especially this season, showing the consistency of a top midfielder, reminiscent of Vieira in his prime.

Real Madrid's transfer department has also included Essien, who has improved rapidly at Chelsea this season, Roma's Daniel De Rossi, and Arsenal's Alexander O. Song, all of whom have performed well in the past season.

As for the central defenders, according to the Spanish newspaper Marca, Tottenham Hotspur's two main central defenders, Thiago Silva and Ziglinski, have appeared at the forefront of Real Madrid's recruitment list, and the two central defenders have won everyone's recognition for their performances at Tottenham Hotspur in the past season.

However, it was also revealed that Real Madrid's target is not the two main central defenders, but Tottenham Hotspur's third central defender Vincent Pieni, although the Belgian central defender rotates with Ziglinski, but the performance is not lost to Ziglinski, but the Ukrainian has a higher status in the team than him.

In this case, Kompany's departure to Real Madrid became a reality, and the Belgian central defender not only improved his defensive skills rapidly, but also carried the ball and passed the ball to a very high level, which is very much in line with Pellegrini's requirements for a central defender.

In La Liga, it is a general consensus that central defenders must have the ability to play the ball.

But obviously, whether it is a midfielder or a central defender, it is obviously not the superstar that Florentino wants, so many media have published that the superstar that Real Madrid will focus on introducing this season is the chief center forward Rome Falcao from Tottenham Hotspur, as well as Inter Milan's world's number one center Ibrahimovic, and Chelsea's monster Drogba, these three center forwards are Real Madrid's targets.

After all, with Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale occupying the left and right flanks respectively, the only option in the middle is if you want to continue to bring in attacking superstars.

It has been revealed that Real Madrid's meritorious captain Raul will leave the Bernabeu Stadium at the end of this season, but it has not yet been determined where to go, but German media revealed that a number of Bundesliga teams are interested in bringing in Raul, including Schalke 04.

At a time when the transfer market is starting to be turbulent, English football is also in turmoil.

If the Premier League in the nineties of the last century belonged to Manchester United and Arsenal, then with the rise of Chelsea in the new century, it began to usher in the three-man competition, but soon, Liverpool also followed the strong rise and ushered in the top four.

But not long after, as Ye Qiu took over Tottenham Hotspur and created a miracle of successfully defending the Champions League, with the Abu Dhabi consortium entering Manchester City strongly, raising the banner of petrodollars to bring in reinforcements, and last season's Russian billionaire Ryponorev bought West Ham United and invested heavily to build a London powerhouse, all of which made the Premier League very chaotic.

Last season's top four in the Premier League were Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal, followed by Manchester City, West Ham United, Aston Villa, Liverpool and Everton.

If you look at the standings, Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea and Manchester United belong to the first pot, especially Tottenham Hotspur, the strength lead is too obvious; Arsenal, Manchester City, West Ham United, Aston Villa, Liverpool and Everton are in Pot 2, and the gap between Arsenal at the top of the table and Everton at the bottom is only 10 points, but the gap between Arsenal and Manchester United is also 10 points.

In other words, Arsenal's fourth place in the Premier League is not solid, and the aggressive recruitment of teams including Manchester City and West Ham United has also had an effect, one of the key points is that Manchester City's Mancini, and West Ham United's Ranieri have been well integrated into a strong overall team, coupled with the role of burning money, so that the results and strength of both teams have been greatly improved.

But after Manchester City and West Ham United, another local tyrant team landed in the Premier League, that is, the Magpie Newcastle, which was promoted from the Championship and was acquired by the Qatari royal family, the Qatari royal family has announced that Newcastle will return to the Premier League in the first season, with a transfer budget of no less than 200 million.

Many people may think that the Qatari royal family's rhetoric is not very good, much inferior to last season's Reponolev, but it is important to know that West Ham United's reinforcements last season actually did not spend 200 million, but more to take advantage of the price and salary advantages, the introduction of Eto'o, Lucio and Carvalho and other stars, and this team will continue to further impact the top four in the Premier League this season.

With Newcastle's return to the Premier League, the whole world is starting to be surprised by the new Premier League season, because this season's Premier League is not only about Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United and Arsenal, but also about former tycoons like Chelsea, as well as current tycoons such as Manchester City, West Ham United and Newcastle.

But just when everyone was amazed by the attractiveness of the Premier League, the Times exclusively disclosed that Reliance Industries Group, a Fortune 500 company from India, and Ambani, India's richest man ranked eighth on the world's richest list, completed the acquisition of the Red Army Liverpool under the guidance of the Royal Bank of Scotland, but the entire acquisition amount was not disclosed.

The Royal Bank of Scotland has provided Liverpool with huge loans, but under the leadership of Liverpool's two current owners, Hicks and Gillette, Liverpool's debt has been increasing day by day, especially when Tottenham Hotspur has risen strongly, so that Liverpool often miss out on the Champions League, missing out on large revenues, and the club's debt is more than 400 million pounds.

In the case of such a huge debt, not to mention the new stadium that Hicks and Gillette promised to the fans before, even the team's reinforcements could not come up with the money, and there was news that the Qatari royal consortium intended to buy Liverpool, but the two owners of Liverpool opened their mouths and scared off the big financiers, a move that angered the Royal Bank of Scotland.

Eventually, Liverpool's two bosses compromised with their creditors and announced that they had sold their shares to Ambani, one of India's richest men, who also created the Mumbai team of the Indian Premier Cricket League.

As the eighth richest person on the Forbes list in '09, Ambani's personal assets surpass Abu Dhabi's Mansour and Chelsea's Abramovic in 104th place, while the latter is 51st, but Ambany is still behind Tottenham Hotspur owner Ye Qiu, who is even higher in the rankings than him.

So, the first thing Ambani did when he took over Liverpool was to announce Benitez's retention.

"The dilemma that Liverpool has encountered in the past obviously should not be borne by the manager, I think Benitez is a very good manager, and he is also one of the few top coaches in today's football who can keep pace with Ye Qiu, I have no reason to let go of such a talent"

Ambani also announced that Liverpool will spend heavily on reinforcements this season to re-establish Liverpool as a top team in the Premier League, allowing Liverpool to win results worthy of team honor, and he will also immediately fulfill the promise that the previous two American owners could not keep, which is to announce the relaunch of the team's new stadium plan, which is expected to be officially opened in the summer of '13.

It can be said that this move of the Indian owner immediately won the affirmation of Liverpool fans, after all, in the past few years, Liverpool fans have long been bought Hicks and Gillette's stinginess, as well as their false promises, and they also believe that Benitez's coaching ability is not a problem, if he can build the team as he wants, Liverpool revival is hopeful.

With Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur all announcing a change of ownership, only Arsenal is the only one who has not lost, but this is not to say that Arsenal still retains its local characteristics, because the Gunners' shareholders have long been full of traces of foreign conglomerates, but these Gunners shareholders are now waiting for a huge takeover from the consortium.

The Guardian exclusively reported that one of Arsenal's shareholders, who did not want to be named, told the Guardian that if a consortium was willing to bid £1.5bn and promised to take over all of Arsenal's debts, it would be able to get all of Arsenal's shares.

But the remarks were dismissed by professionals as foolish for the simple reason that Arsenal are currently heavily indebted, and the short-term debt of the Highbury Square apartment is due this year, but aside from this debt, Arsenal still have more than £250 million in debt.

In other words, if whoever takes Arsenal for 1.5 billion pounds now and bears all the debts, then the total amount of the acquisition will exceed the Glazer family's purchase price of 1.8 billion pounds for Manchester United, and even the Qatari royal family is insensitive to Manchester United's sky-high price, and who is willing to buy Arsenal at a higher price than Manchester United?

Of course, Arsenal have good reasons for this, their £250 million is a long-term low-interest loan and some fan-held bonds, which is a healthy debt, but the question is, who wants to take on this?

Arsenal's board of directors is right to say that any company needs to be in debt, and that's right, because running a company is more than just what outsiders might think.

Just like the current Tottenham Hotspur, Ye Qiu has just borrowed a low-interest long-term loan of 200 million pounds from Barclays Bank through Tottenham Hotspur not long ago, this loan is almost initiated by Barclays Bank, and the interest rate is very low, and for Ye Qiu and Tottenham Hotspur, there is a low-interest long-term loan of 200 million pounds, don't do it in vain.

With this money, Ye Qiu plans to build a Chinatown on a 150-acre plot of land between Royal Albert Dock and Canary Wharf in East London through Tottenham Hotspur Real Estate.

Rumours of a Chinatown to be built at the East London Docks have been rumoured for many years, as the existing Chinatown is located in Soho, the city's commercial hub, which is now home to the FA's headquarters, and has caused inconvenience to London's planning and development.

In the planning of the London City Council, this is not only to build Chinatown, but also to build an international development project to attract Chinese investment, which had a special plan in 04, but then London's main task has always been on the Olympics, plus there are problems with Olympic funds, so the Chinatown plan has always been shelved.

Ye Qiu's idea is not only to build a new Chinatown, but also to create a window for Chinese culture to show itself to the outside world, so throughout the project, there will be not only old-fashioned Chinese-style shopping streets and food streets, but also more

Classical Chinese gardens, temples and a collection of traditional buildings.

This is an authentic large-scale Chinese theme park, and it will also be the first theme park in Europe to display Chinese traditional culture and characteristics in an all-round way, in Ye Qiu's words, the purpose of building this China Town is to let all British and European people better understand the culture and traditions of the Chinese.

Ye Qiu's suggestion has been supported by the London Chinese community, and these overseas Chinese who have a deep understanding of the habits of Londoners have also given quite a lot of good advice, for example, they feel that a very important reason for the failure of American theme parks in Britain is that arrogant Britons do not want to become followers of American culture

"We should tell them about the fascinating Chinese culture in a way that ⊥ them can't refuse"

Therefore, this is not only a theme park for cultural display, but also a city within a city integrating commerce, office, food, tourism, Chinese education, leisure and entertainment.

For Ye Qiu and Tottenham Hotspur, they have to pay almost nothing for a total of £200 million in Chinatown, all of which are financed by low-interest loans from Barclays, and all projects are undertaken by an engineering team from China, which is expected to be completed before the London Olympics

This project has not only received strong support from the City of London, which has always wanted to develop the area around Royal Albert Dock, but also from the Chinese government and all sectors of society, and many investors have even expressed interest in investing in the area around Chinatown, which has also attracted the attention of the British and London governments.

It can be said that the entire Chinatown project has not yet started, but in the design stage, it has been concerned by all walks of life, and has also received frequent media reports, and it has become hot in advance.
