Chapter 6 Unexplored Places
"Are you the head coach who asked my son to play football?" Yousef stared at George with wide eyes.George looked at Yousef, then at the slightly fat Klose next to him, and shook his head.Because Yousef is really handsome, much more handsome than his son Klose.

Yes, the striker George discovered with an amazing header was the 17-year-old Klose.Although the 17-year-old Klose is a little shy, he is also fatter than when he was in the World Cup in Korea and Japan.But George recognized at a glance that this slightly obese forward was Klose, the main striker of the German national team in the future.

If there are not a few late blooming stars, such as Italy's Toni, Germany's Bierhoff, and Russia's Arshavin, these people are all real late bloomers.But if there is another late bloomer after the new millennium, it must be Klose. At the age of 20, he was still playing in the business league, and it was not until the age of 22 that he began to make his mark in the Bundesliga. The 2002 World Cup made fans know this "heading striker" with rough skills and clumsy handling of the ball. After a short period of "excitement", God K fell into a low ebb and scored few goals.It is generally believed that the technical level of players is basically capped at the age of 24 or 5, especially as an attacking player in the frontcourt. Joining Bremen to replace Elton was originally considered a lose-lose transfer, but Klose played in Parrot. The Legion suddenly became enlightened and out of control. The 27-year-old Klose has shown comprehensive skills under Schaff, and his dribbling and passing are eye-catching. He won the Golden Boot in the 06 World Cup. What is even more incredible is that he was crowned the Bundesliga assist leader. Critics and fans were stunned by his rough technique.

Moreover, Klose has a long career life, and he was still the main striker of the German national team until he was 32 years old.After later moving to Lazio in Serie A, he is still in Serie A at the age of 33.Seeing such a striker today, George was of course overjoyed.

As for Klose's father, Yousef, who was also a player back then, he played for the French Auxerre team and was a right winger.It's just that George didn't expect Yusef to be so irritable, and his temper didn't seem very good.But far more handsome than George imagined.

"Hello, my name is George Levy. I am the head coach of the Burnley team in England's second division. I appreciate your son's playing level very much. Your son's level is very high, and his future development prospects are unlimited. He is destined to belong on the football field, and I want to take him to England." George smiled and talked to Yousef.

Yousef didn't pay attention to George's compliment, but said sternly: "Coach Levi, I used to be a player too. I know better than anyone else what my son's current level is, and what you say will only increase my respect for you." Mistrust. I just want to know why you want my son to play in England."

Now George has learned the rigidity of the Germans, and he is not even a little bit polite.Without any scruples about the person he was talking to, George could only smile helplessly.

"Since this is the case, then I will directly talk about my opinion. To be honest, Miro can be the main striker in England's fourth tier league at most. And he can only be a striker in clubs with no ambitions. In the third-level league, you can only play as a substitute. Of course, in my club, you can only be a substitute. Because my club’s goal this season is very clear, which is to upgrade. Therefore, a group of capable players will be introduced. Substitute players are in my plan." Since Yousef likes to go straight, George expressed his opinion without any obstacles.Although Klose is very powerful, but that is the future.At this stage, Klose is not as easy to use as many strikers in the third division.

Klose on the side clenched his fists tightly when he heard George's comments.This little gesture George noticed, and just smiled.After hearing these words of his own, Klose would not be able to grow into a world-class striker without a reaction.But Yousef was calmer than before, looking straight at George.

"There are always geniuses in this world. Pele and Maradona are geniuses among geniuses. I don't know if you have heard of Ronaldo. Ronaldo is now playing in Eindhoven. He joined Eindhoven last year. When Huo Wen, only, the transfer fee was 470 million U.S. dollars. He is a talented player, a representative of young fame." Neither Evan nor Yousef knew how George would say this all of a sudden.

"But there is also a kind of people, they are late bloomers. Milo is not a genius, and he cannot become famous at a young age. He can only succeed through continuous hard work and sweating himself. Only in this way can he become a late bloomer player. Milo Luo's current advantages and disadvantages are obvious. Miro has good speed and strong explosive power. Of course, the biggest advantage is heading, and his heading ability is definitely the best among his peers. With the ability to grab some points, he will definitely become a good striker." George began to analyze Klose's characteristics, because he knew Yousef had been a player before, so he wasted more words. "However, according to the current development, he is just a forward who makes a living by heading the ball, and may be able to be a main force in the middle and lower reaches of the top league. Because Miro's skills are too rough, and there are problems with passing the ball. But to If you want to achieve greater and higher results, Miro must develop in an all-round way from now on. You must strengthen your practice in passing, passing, cooperating, and shooting in a small area. As long as you work hard for five years, I guarantee a brand new Klose will appear in front of the world."

George is very confident. In his previous life, Klose played in the amateur league until he was 22 years old and did not receive too formal training.That's it, Klose's performance later is obvious to all.Now George wants to let Klose experience the professional league early and receive good football training.

"Coach Levi, can I trust you?" Yousef suddenly raised his head and asked George.

"I'm not going to come here for nothing. I won't let you down."

…………

"George, I really don't understand what you are wandering about now. I can understand that you are looking for players in Germany, but who are you looking for in the Czech Republic? There are also good players in the Czech League?" Follow George around Germany.Been to Leverkusen's stadium and also visited Dortmund's stadium.Finally came to the Czech Republic.

The Czech Republic is a barren land for European football, but it won't be long before people get to know the Czech Republic.Because in the European Cup to be held next year, the Czech national team reached the final all the way, which made the world realize the players of the golden generation of the Czech Republic.

Famous players in European football such as Nedved, Poborski, and Smicer will be known to the world after the European Cup.Nedved, Smicer and other players who have already been recognized in the Czech League, George did not think about poaching them.After all, even if they can successfully persuade them, Burnley really can't afford them with their worth.So George's goal this time is Poboski, the right midfielder of the Czech national team in the European Cup.

Speaking of the Czech golden generation, the most regrettable one is none other than Bobowski.Poboski's full name is Karel Poboski, who became famous in the European Cup. The 1996 European Championships belonged to the Germans, and even more to the Czechs. From the lucky promotion to the finals to the dragging of the German chariot into overtime, the Czech stars shined brilliantly. Among a series of star-studded names, the blonde Bobo Ski wowed Europe.His elegant breakthrough and sprint on the right sideline was a sharp weapon for the Czech team's offense back then, and the classic moment of riding alone in the quarter-finals against Portugal and breaking through the ten-finger barrier of Baia with a light sling made the 24-year-old The star of his playing years became famous overnight, and Ferguson couldn't wait to call him under his command.

But after entering Manchester United, the decline caused by injuries and the rise of Beckham made him lose nothing in Manchester United. After joining for 350 million, he was kicked out just one year later and sold to Benfica for 200 million.The youthful Poborski would never have imagined that the trip to the Premier League would become a bleak memory for him.If Cruyff Jr., who had the same fate as Poboski at the time, was out of strength, then Poboski was definitely out of luck.

Injuries have been with Poborski since then, and the glimpse in 1996 has almost become the swan song of the Czech's career.Fortunately, after returning to China, Poborski regained his strength and appeared in the 2004 European Cup again.Poborski is one of George's most regrettable members of the Czech golden generation.

Now Poborski is unknown in European football, and his reputation in the Czech Republic is also average.Although he is a member of the national team, he plays in a small team like Zizkov Victoria. In the 94-95 season, Poborski scored ten goals for the team, but still failed to get the call of the Czech domestic giants.Poborski has been resentful about this.

But for the call of the England Second Division, Poborski still has some resistance.After all, in 1995, the English league was not as strong as the Premier League in the new millennium. At this time, the status of the English league in Europe was far lower than that of Italy, Spain, and Germany.And it's not a team from England's top league, but from England's third tier.

But George used his three-inch tongue again to fool Bobowski.Although the current Premier League reputation is not as good as Serie A, Bundesliga, and La Liga, it may not even be as attractive to players as the Eredivisie.But the strong development of the Premier League can be seen.Since the establishment of the Premier League, the performance of the Premier League teams in Europe has been getting better and better, and the Premier League teams have also become richer and richer.

Burnley is a team in the second division of England, but it is a team that has just been relegated, and it is also a popular team for promotion this year.Moreover, there are opportunities to compete with Premier League teams in the League Cup and FA Cup. As long as they can play well in the League Cup and FA Cup, they still have the opportunity to express themselves in front of the Premier League teams.Finally, under George's persuasion, Bobowski was willing to come to England.

George was in a good mood after getting Poborski done.With Ballack's midfield scheduling and Poborski's lightning speed on the right, Burnley's attack power can definitely be more than doubled.

When he came out of Zizkov Victoria, George held the initialed contract and smiled. "Evan, it seems that the attractiveness of our club is really problematic. A Czech international has to spend so much effort, but this trip has paid off a lot."

"George, is he really that good?" Evan shook his head, still questioning George's choice, the Czech Republic also has good players?

George smiled at Evan and said: "Evan, do you know? In my room, there are many videos of major clubs that I hired someone to find. I have also wandered around from time to time in the past few years. The national team cannot be ignored. They have a lot of quality players and they will surprise the world."
