Tottenham are starting to do business in the winter.
This news is not a particularly strange thing. Since Li Bin took over this season, who of Tottenham's three English defenders will be the first to leave has been a topic of discussion in the media. This is not related to Li Bin.
What does Bin's choice have to do with it? It's simply because, generally speaking, there are really not many European coaches who can like English defenders. Tottenham's three injury problems are very dangerous no matter how you look at it. Who will leave?
Who will stay has always been a key topic of discussion in the media. They have been able to survive until the winter break, which is already very good, and it is normal to leave now. However, it is Woodgate who is selling, not Dawson.
I thought it was a bit funny: because Dawson was injured, no one would buy it when he was selling it now. As a result, he was injured, which made Li Bin firm up in his idea of selling, but it was Woodgate who was unlucky, which was a bit embarrassing.
However, what people have discussed a lot is that the timing chosen by Tottenham is very special. On December 19, the Premier League just stipulated that starting from next season, there will be a maximum of 17 foreign players and no less than 8 local players. This news has just been announced.
Within a few days, Tottenham changed hands and were about to sell Woodgate. This approach was completely taking advantage of the opportunity to make money.
"We have always ignored that Li Bin seems to have great potential as a black-hearted businessman. Selling Gilardino, selling Robbie Keane, selling Berbatov, selling Melo, selling Bonera, in the past
In those days, he had many bad records of selling players to buy them. But now he doesn't even bother to cheat, he just robs them openly."
The Premier League media criticized Li Bin's actions with some anger and some envy. Once this regulation came out, the price of local players will definitely skyrocket. Tottenham chose to sell Woodgate at this time. This is
Grab it tomorrow.
Having eight local players in one team is not difficult for the bottom teams of the Premier League, but for the strong teams in the Premier League, this is a very difficult process. Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester City,
These teams are complaining about this decision. They all have less than eight local players in their teams. The value of English players has skyrocketed overnight. And Tottenham took action with a marginal international player at this time. They clearly wanted to tell the story.
Other teams: take advantage of the opportunity to raise the price. Raise the price. Only in the summer will it be possible to defraud those rip-offs...
Such a shameless approach not only made the Premier League teams scold them, but they also helped Tottenham to speculate on Woodgate's worth: In the days to come, the price of household registration will rise. This hype business
, but you can’t lose money.
Because of the help from other teams in the league, Tottenham successfully sold Woodgate for 9 million pounds to West Ham United in the same city - they had just sold Bellamy to Manchester City and had spare money. This is better than
When I bought Woodgate, it was 1 million more expensive. This price also caused quite a stir in the Premier League: Bellamy was 14 million, Woodgate was 9 million. In this world, the household registration book is really starting to be valuable.
A few years ago, what was a household registration book in the Premier League? The media always said that France’s Arsenal, Spain’s Liverpool, and the United Nations’ Chelsea were all required to buy a household registration book!
As for the Tottenham guys, they kept their household registration for half a year before taking action. Could it be that they did it on purpose?
Li Bin doesn't know about this topic. If he knew, he would definitely cry out: How did he do it on purpose? If it was intentional, he would have to suppress it for another year and a half. By that time, a household registration of 15 million would be enough.
It's the basic price, the player's level is calculated separately...
Such an issue has caused a lot of discussion in the outside world, so much so that when Palmieri announced his transfer to Tottenham for 100,000, not many people noticed the transfer. In fact, it is not that the media did not pay attention, it is just that
A transfer seems to be a simple signing. Li Bin bought a direct player of his own. Although it still attracts some attention, considering Li Bin's performance, it is okay to buy it.
He is a young man again, and people’s reaction is not very big.
"Palmeri made his debut with Parma last season. As a lucky guy, he won the Champions League as a substitute as soon as he debuted. Among them, in the game against Liverpool, he performed well after coming on.
.But this season, his performance has declined. Parma now has two games less and is in the middle of Serie A. Palmieri has received a lot of criticism on the back line, especially in the recent Club World Cup.
The criticism he received was very large, and the media analyzed that this was also one of the important reasons for his transfer. As his former coach, Li Bin knew him very well and should be able to teach him to play good football. However, now Tottenham
The defense is relatively stable, and the combination of Ledley King and Thiago Silva does not concede many goals. The media is also analyzing how Tottenham will change its defense to give him enough playing time...
"
The media generally don't think very highly of Palmieri. If he had transferred half a year ago, he might still be worth a lot. However, now that Parma's results are average and they lost again in the Club World Cup, Palmieri's reputation is also poor.
His career has plummeted, and Italian defenders have always had poor results when going abroad. Therefore, there are very few people who are optimistic about him.
The problem of the media is also the problem of Tottenham players. At least, Neuer and Piszczek talked about this topic when they saw Palmieri appearing on the Tottenham training ground wearing a Tottenham jersey.
.
Tottenham's training program today is set-piece training. Tottenham have many good players at set-pieces, but Neuer's defense of set-pieces must be a weakness. During the grouping, I saw Li Bin put Palmieri on the team.
The defensive team stood in front of Neuer and formed a wall. Neuer was also a little afraid. His level was not good enough and it would create loopholes.
He originally thought that Li Bin bought Palmieri to train him as a substitute and a foreign player, but seeing this, Li Bin trusted him very much.
"He seems to be younger than Bale." Neuer is very concerned about this. He is a goalkeeper, and the level of the back line has directly affected his performance. Over the years, almost every Italian defender in the Bundesliga has
All of them are synonymous with the word cheating. Seeing the young Palmeri, Neuer was hesitant in his heart, "Can he really do it?"
"My old subordinate, let's take a look and talk about it." Piszczek replied. As players from the Bundesliga, they would sometimes say a few words to each other, "If you just look at it, there doesn't seem to be any problem."
.”
If you just look at the appearance - if you say this, Neuer can't refute it. With a height of nearly 190cm and a rather burly body, Palmieri looks like the material of a defender. Although he is young, he stands tall
On the court, his body shape is no weaker than that of Ledley King and others. With such physical condition, he looks no worse than anyone else.
"It's big enough, but I still think it's unreliable. Italians have left Italy. How many are reliable?" Neuer whispered.
"Hey, training has started. If you have any questions, we'll talk to you later!" While they were still talking, Palmieri had already walked over, pointed to the door, patted Neuer, and said in broken English, "Go.
Stand still, play well, don't be afraid, I'm here, there will be no problem!"
After Palmeri finished speaking, he walked forward by himself. His actions made Neuer a little stunned.
"He's directing my position? He's directing me? It's amazing. The young man learned to direct me as soon as he came..."
"It's better to let him direct than to let you direct - if you are asked to direct the defense, who knows if you will make arrangements to play the legendary 0-1-10 formation and allow yourself to occupy the center circle to play football
..." Piszczek joked, "Go quickly, the most important thing is to defend well."
"This kid is interesting. On the first day he came here, he wanted to command me..." Neuer was still mumbling, but obviously he didn't take it to heart.
Obviously, Palmieri's command was more than just one sentence. After arriving on the court, he immediately started arranging the positions of his teammates. Although Neuer was still complaining just now, after seeing his command
, and gradually became silent. As a top goalkeeper, he can see how well the defender is commanding. Neuer doesn't know how good Palmieri is, but Neuer still knows how good his commanding level is.
It can be done clearly at a glance. Forming a wall, arranging movement, and arranging attacks, these are the most basic skills. In this regard, Palmieri couldn't be more solid.
"Stand the other way around and don't face the football with your butt. Our goalkeeper has control. Don't ignore the danger. Besides, being hit in the back of your head is more dangerous than being hit in the crotch!"
Palmieri was giving instructions loudly, and his English was very poor. As he spoke and gestured, he asked the players who had their backs to the free throw to turn around. At the same time, he was also arranging the direction in which the wall would spread out. These arrangements were
Neuer also admired the details: This guy is really brave. He dared to say so many things on his first day here.
However, what he said is indeed correct. When taking a free kick, some players standing on the wall stand with their backs to the goal, but they cannot see the direction of the ball. It is very likely that they will be used to create loopholes around them, and even more
Not to mention the subsequent formation dispersion, these problems are huge. Neuer also knows these, but he didn't care about it before, because it is also beneficial to have his back to the server, and his back to the penalty kicker can better help the goalkeeper.
Controlling the ball can also help the goalkeeper direct his position. But thinking about it carefully, Neuer asked himself that he did not need others to help him control the ball, and his command level did not seem to be very high. Standing with his back to the goal
It seems like there are no benefits at all? Why didn’t I find it before and no one mentioned it?
Ledley King is not a meddlesome person. As a goalkeeper, Neuer's ability to direct the set-piece wall is only average, and he does not want to offend his teammates for such a trivial matter - this is nothing. Among top goalkeepers, he is stuck.
Silas' command of the platoon's human wall was also very poor - Palmieri was the first to dare to bring up all these problems.
This kid is brave enough. This made Neuer a little interested. People often say that the defense needs a commander. Italian players have a high level of commanding the defense in the backcourt. He didn't pay attention to it in Germany before, but now he really does.
I believe it. It’s really surprising that such a kid can command here, and his command level is not low.
However, this kid is so courageous. He dared to direct the movements of his teammates as soon as he arrived on the court. Someone is supporting him, right? Looking at the sidelines, Neuer also smiled bitterly: He is a direct descendant. This is a direct descendant.
The treatment of raising a godson is really incomparable.
However, things like team status cannot be given with the help of the coach after all. Neuer also looked at this young commander with interest: What ability does he have that makes the coach regard him as his godson?
Can he gain status by relying on his own abilities?
