Chapter 380 We need you!

Therefore, things in the world are really coincidental and precise.

When Beckham was planning to contact Ye Qiu and Tottenham Hotspur, Eliza Moon called Victoria and extended an invitation to Ye Qiu to meet Beckham. The location could be chosen. In Madrid.

That evening, after Beckham finished his afternoon training session, he drove directly to a famous Western restaurant in Madrid near the Bernabeu Stadium, where Ye Qiu was already sitting there waiting for him.

"I'm so sorry, I'm late!" Beckham apologized apologetically as soon as he entered the box. In fact, he was not late.

Ye Qiu looked at Hamilton on his left and smiled, "No, you are on time, it was me who was early!"

"Where's Victoria?" Beckham asked his wife, why didn't he see anyone?

"She went out with Eliza!" Ye Qiu said casually.

Beckham smiled. He could sense that they wanted Ye Qiu to communicate with him alone. After all, sometimes Victoria was present and it was inconvenient to talk about many things. Everyone knew that Victoria wanted him to go to the United States.

Beckham was very familiar with this restaurant. When the waiter came in, he directly ordered his favorite food and then said, "Real Madrid players like to come here very much. During the trip to China, the chef here even went with the team." China.”

After hearing this, Ye Qiu smiled and asked, "How do you feel about China?"

"It's very hot, those fans are so fanatical!" Beckham chuckled. He could not forget the wave of madness caused by Real Madrid's trip to China. He swore that it was hard to see anywhere else in the world.

After Ye Qiu heard this, he also smiled, but said with some regret: "During my first trip to China, Real Madrid was full of superstars, playing the most beautiful football in the world. It was called a galactic battleship, but who can Can you imagine that in less than three or four years, that powerful galactic battleship will suddenly collapse? "

This incident is also the biggest regret in Beckham's heart, because when he came to the team, it happened to be when Real Madrid was turning from prosperity to decline, so many fans directly blamed him, but for this He never gave an excuse because he felt that everyone was responsible for the team's poor performance, including himself.

"Not long ago, when I was away against Manchester United, Ferguson invited me to drink and talked a lot!" Ye Qiu said with a smile.

"How is he now?" Beckham seemed to remember the way Ferguson drank wine and talked to Ye Qiu, and smiled.

Ye Qiu smiled again, "It should be good. Although he has given up his position as the leader of the league, he should be in a good mood."

In fact, even if Manchester United does not win the championship this season, it will be a successful season for Ferguson, because he has truly found a path for Manchester United. This is when he bid farewell to Beckham, Keane and Fan What Nick never thought about when he was waiting for players was that the confusion in those years led to Manchester United's downturn, but now, everything is over.

"He won't give up easily!" Beckham nodded.

Ye Qiu also nodded in agreement, "What he said impressed me very deeply. He said that players and coaches alike must prove themselves by their results on the football field." This is what Ye Qiu said about Ferguson. reason.

Perhaps in the eyes of many people, Beckham and Ferguson should be incompatible, but in fact, Ye Qiu could feel that although the relationship between the two was a bit tense, there was no hatred at all. On the contrary, whether it was Ferguson or Beckham, Well, I still have strong feelings for each other.

Sometimes things are like this. Originally it was just a matter between two people, but with the media's hype and fueling, it gradually became everyone's matter. Originally, it could be solved by just a few words between the two. In the end, it turned into a seemingly endless hatred, and they felt embarrassed when they met each other.

The most typical ones are Ye Qiu and Wenger. The two are neighbors. Don't look at the previous North London derby between Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur. They had a big argument due to a misjudgement, but they never talked about this in private. Things are going well, and they have a good relationship with each other. The two families are quite close, but who knows all this?

Many people say that the media is taking advantage of celebrities, but are celebrities taking advantage of the media?

"This is his football creed!" After hearing this, Beckham obviously understood this deeply. After a pause, he asked in turn: "Did he drink and tell you about me again?" some things?”

Ye Qiu was stunned, and his surprise obviously made Beckham laugh when he saw the answer.

"Don't worry, I actually know him. He has a big mouth and likes to curse, but he never holds grudges after scolding. Only after drinking, he will inevitably be a bit verbose." Beckham seemed to have a different attitude when he scolded Ferguson. Pleasure, hehe laughed.

Ye Qiu's relationship with the two masters and disciples was a bit strange, but he was definitely not as hateful as many people imagined.

"Actually, he has told me a lot, and he has said it for many, many years, but" Beckham always looked sad when talking about Ferguson, "... many times, I really feel that the players' Is there really only football in life?”

Ye Qiu frowned, it was difficult to answer this question.

"The red card in the 1998 World Cup made me a complete sinner. That period was the most painful and sad time for me. The old man and Victoria were the two people who helped me the most. Without them, I would not have been able to get out at all, but they People’s requirements for me are completely different.”

Ye Qiu saw that Beckham seemed a little immersed in his thoughts. Apparently the topic about Ferguson just now stimulated him and brought back some of his past events and memories. Moreover, he seemed not to want to leave a bad impression on Ye Qiu. Want to explain.

"You know, when I dated and got married to Victoria, she was a world-famous popular singer, and I was a professional player for Manchester United, or somewhat famous in England, but she got pregnant after 1998. , gave up her career and stayed at home to take care of her children. She sacrificed a lot for me. "

"Maybe in the eyes of many people, she doesn't understand football and only thinks about how to hype and make money, but in my opinion, is it wrong for a woman to do this for her husband, family, and children? Or, a professional How many years can a player play? What will happen to his family and children after he retires?

After Ye Qiu heard Beckham's question, it was the first time he thought about this aspect, and he also realized that the reason why Beckham allowed Victoria to operate on many things was actually not because he was afraid of Wife, but respect, because he knows that everything Victoria does is for this family.

Many professional players were very successful when they were playing football, squandering money without leaving any money. However, after retiring, they were in poverty. In addition, they suffered from a lot of illnesses during their playing days. After retirement, they had to continue to use drugs to maintain their health, and the cost was also high. Quite big, so professional players are actually a bowl of youth rice.

Some people may say that after retirement, you can continue to engage in football-related businesses, such as being a game commentator, writing a newspaper football commentary column, or being a coach. People who can complete this transformation occupy a large proportion of professional players. What proportion?

Ye Qiu has always felt that don't blame players for asking for excessive salary when renewing their contracts, because each renewal means that they are closer to their retirement, so they will become more nervous and want to bargain while they are still able. , strive for more benefits to protect your future life.

At this time, Ye Qiu was thinking that both Ferguson and Victoria could be said to be the two most important people in Beckham's life. The former asked him to focus on playing football, while the latter hoped to establish a strong enough guarantee for the family to ensure that After the husband retired from the army, the family was able to continue to survive.

Therefore, no one can say who is wrong or right among these two people. They can only say that this is a problem that all families around the world will encounter.

"What now?" Ye Qiu thought of this, smiled, and asked, "What do you think?"

Beckham looked at Ye Qiu, scanned it in his mind, gritted his teeth secretly, and mustered up the courage to make a decision, "I hope to stay in Europe, and my first choice is to return to the Premier League!"

Inter Milan also wants to get Beckham, but with Figo's contract extension, Beckham's path to transfer to Inter Milan has been blocked, and what Beckham wants most is to go to the Premier League, because this is the most beneficial He defended his place in the national team and his future image at the London Olympics.

"Then come to Tottenham Hotspur. I need a midfielder like you. I also hope that the team will work hard in the second half, hit the top four in the league, and strive to qualify for the UEFA Champions League next season!" Ye Qiuyi said with a frank face.

"I can't promise you what the future will be like. I can't tell you that I guarantee that you will be the main player in the team in the next few years, because that would be unfair to you, to me, to the team, and to all the players. Be responsible. What I can guarantee is that you will be the main player in the next six months. Both Tottenham and I need players like you to strengthen the team's midfield."

Ye Qiu has been emphasizing one word, player. He hopes to tell Beckham that the first thing Tottenham Hotspur wants to get is a midfielder Beckham who can help the team reach the top four in the Premier League. Rather than a superstar Beckham.

Ye Qiu's statement undoubtedly made it easier for Beckham to accept it, and then the two chatted about Ye Qiu's thoughts on Tottenham Hotspur. In fact, many things about Tottenham Hotspur are very consistent. Beckham, for example, passes the ball with one kick.

I believe that many fans will feel that the Premier League is weak in this aspect. As everyone knows, the Premier League has also had many teams with very gorgeous styles of play, such as Tottenham Hotspur in the early 1990s, such as Roy E. Liverpool during Vince's period, such as Manchester United during the golden midfield period.

At its peak, Manchester United had an almost perfect four-midfield configuration that was highly praised by professional football professionals.

Giggs is good at breakthroughs, Scholes is good at attacking from behind, Beckham is good at long-distance passing and dispatching, and Roy Keane is good at covering and organizing.

If you study the analysis carefully, it is not difficult to find that almost all classic midfield configurations are this type of player combination.

At that time, Manchester United's most respected tactic was smooth one-touch passing and receiving. Coupled with Beckham's long-distance pass scheduling, Manchester United's two forwards only needed to run out of space to catch the ball, so he was let go in 2003. After losing Beckham, Manchester United's performance will plummet.

Of course, many people may think that Beckham's role is not that big. They will say that it is because Manchester United's two strikers, the Black Wind Twins, are good at running into gaps, so Beckham is popular. But the question is, are the Black Wind Twins irreplaceable? If so, then their role is not great. If not, why did Van Nistelrooy replace them later?

On the other hand, is Beckham irreplaceable?

Think about it again. Manchester United's resurgence this season is because of Carrick. Carrick is most valued by Ferguson, and even one of the important things he is willing to exchange for Van Nistelrooy plus money is his long pass. This in itself has explained the problem!

In all top teams, there must be an outstanding long passer!

Liverpool's Xabi Alonso and Gerrard, Manchester United's Carrick and Scholes, Barcelona's Deco and Xavi, AC Milan's Pirlo

Many people think that short passes are important, but in fact, who can't make short passes?

Everyone knows that those who can become professional players must have the ability to pass the ball shortly, but not necessarily the ability to pass the ball in the middle or long distance, especially the accurate long pass like Beckham in high-speed running and fast-paced games, which is even more scarce.

If there is only short pass but no long pass, the offense of this team will definitely be greatly reduced. A truly reasonable and excellent team must have the ability to pass the ball longly, otherwise it will be difficult for this team to show its strong competitiveness.

The problem of Tottenham Hotspur this season is the third midfielder, but in fact, organization, rhythm control and long pass are also problems.

Fabregas is indeed very talented and capable, but lacks experience. He has all the skills that a midfield core should have, and his skills are not inferior to any midfield star, but he lacks the awareness of using and integrating his skills into the game, which requires more game training and experience accumulation.

So Ye Qiu wants to get Beckham!

For a long time, the call for Beckham to play in the middle has been very high. Even many people felt that Beckham's success and failure were also Manchester United.

His success is due to Manchester United's performance, but it is Manchester United that prevents him from going further, because he cannot return to the center, where Keane and Scholes are, so Ferguson has always put him on the right and refused to arrange him in the center, but many people think that playing in the center can bring out Beckham's greatest threat.

As for the fact that he played in the center after arriving at Real Madrid, but the team's performance was not good, perhaps we can look at where Real Madrid's problem lies. Obviously, it is the defensive midfielder, not Beckham!

Ye Qiu has even been thinking that if Real Madrid has an excellent midfielder to partner with Beckham, the strength of this team will increase exponentially, and it will even return to the ranks of top teams in the shortest time.

It is precisely because he has a very in-depth study and understanding of Beckham's strength that he is so sure that Beckham is the player that Tottenham Hotspur needs most urgently at present.

And facing the invitation and conditions offered by Ye Qiu, Beckham is obviously a little tempted.

In fact, as early as noon, Victoria and Simon Fowler had discussed a rough framework with him, that is, going to Tottenham Hotspur might not be a very ideal result, because this team is in London and has been associated with the Olympics recently, and Ye Qiu is a world-famous coach. He personally invited him, which shows how much he values ​​Beckham.

"How did you talk with Real Madrid?" Beckham asked.

When Ye Qiu heard him ask this question, he was relieved, because it proved that things were almost certain. He smiled and said, "Real Madrid will not refuse any team that invites you, and they will even accept some offers that they would never accept at ordinary times."

Beckham smiled bitterly when he heard this, because he also expected that his value might drop to a level that shocked everyone in this winter break transfer, because he would be a free agent in another six months, and Real Madrid would not ask for a high price.

"If you have no objection, maybe I will let Eliza talk to your agent Simon about the contract tonight, and I will personally call Real Madrid to finalize the details."

Hearing Ye Qiu say this, Beckham felt a little uneasy.

To be honest, he was reluctant to leave Real Madrid. If he followed his original idea, he hoped to stay in Real Madrid to prove himself, but judging from the current situation, it would be very disadvantageous for him to continue to stay in Real Madrid, and he might even be banned. The emergence of Tottenham Hotspur undoubtedly gave him and Real Madrid an acceptable choice.

Thinking of this, Beckham stood up and stretched out his hand to Ye Qiu, "I hope we can have a happy cooperation in the future!"

"Happy cooperation!" Ye Qiu smiled and shook hands with Beckham.

At this time, the waiter of the restaurant knocked on the door of the box and brought up the dishes they ordered one after another. Beckham kept praising the delicious dishes here and asked Ye Qiu to try more.

After the waiter went out, Ye Qiu suddenly remembered a question.

"By the way, David, how is your training recently?"

During the period when Beckham was unable to play, he always insisted on training hard and was ready to play at any time. Even during the rest period around Christmas, he insisted on doing physical training in the hotel to maintain his condition. After all, once a veteran like him cools down, it will be very troublesome to regain his condition.

Because of this, when Ye Qiu asked, he nodded without hesitation, "I can play anytime and anywhere!"

Ye Qiu smiled and praised: "Then you get ready, follow me back to London tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, let's stop Liverpool's aggressiveness!"
