Coaching legend

George really didn't think about selling three main players. And they are the three most important players in the midfield and backcourt. Especially Makelele is someone George didn't think about at all. But now that things have come to this, George can only admit it.

Now things are like this, George has no choice. But the return of one person gave George absolute confidence. That is Pires.

Pires sneered at Barcelona's offer.

Barcelona's performance in the past few seasons is too poor. And Pires doesn't look down on the current Barcelona. If it is Real Madrid's invitation? Pires can still think about it, but Barcelona? Pires directly refused.

This made George relieved.

George likes Pires very much. Pires is the most comprehensive player in the midfield. In terms of technology, he is not worse than Miku. In terms of breakthrough, he is not worse than Duff. In terms of shooting, he is definitely ranked first in the midfield. Even in terms of passing, he is not much worse than Miku.

You can use Pires however you want.

If you put him on the wing, he can break through the wing, pass the ball, and cut inside to shoot.

If you put him in the middle, he can organize the attack, pass the ball, and shoot.

Although he is a little arrogant and looks down on players with poor strength. But who doesn't have arrogance for players with strength? Pires is definitely a very important player in George's hands.

How could George bear to leave such a player? Moreover, players like Pires have a long sports life. It should not be a problem to play until he is about 35 years old.

So after getting Pires' answer, George was in a good mood.

George has been too passive all the time. Or George didn't expect that others' poaching this season was too fierce. That's why he was so embarrassed. Now he can barely stabilize the front line. Of course, George also understands the importance of fame.

Damn, why can those giants do whatever they want?

Isn't it just relying on the fame accumulated for them by their ancestors. Otherwise, Blackburn has performed so well in the past few seasons, how can it be completely inferior to the giants in terms of attractiveness. Now George really can't fight against those giants.

Since he can't fight against the giants, he can deal with some strong teams.

Football is a game where big fish eat small fish. Blackburn is a small fish when facing giants. If I can't eat you big fish, I can eat shrimps.

George first targeted the German powerhouse. This club, like Blackburn, is a club that has risen in the past few seasons. But compared with Blackburn's consecutive Premier League and Champions League titles, the results are much worse.

Or compared with Blackburn, it is completely incomparable.

Since I can't deal with those giants now, it is more than enough to deal with these so-called strong teams.

George went to Germany's Leverkusen.

What is Leverkusen? What honors do they have? No, nothing. Their history is a big blank.

But their results in the past few seasons are very good. But it's just good.

George didn't target his disciple Ballack, because Ballack had been poached by Bayern. George targeted Leverkusen's Brazilian central defender Lucio. Ferdinand's departure allowed George to screen the world's central defenders.

It's not that George has not thought about introducing some talented central defenders and slowly training them.

But there is not enough time. Because the departure of three absolute main players has put George under great pressure. In order to restore the influence, George can only find some players with considerable reputation. It is not easy to introduce central defenders who are capable of fighting, strong and famous. Because most of them are the treasures of major giants.

So George chose Lucio.

Lucio is not a giant player yet. But his reputation is not small, and he performed very well in Leverkusen. The most important thing is that Lucio is the main central defender of the Brazilian national team in this World Cup. It can just make up for the shock of Ferdinand's departure.

Lucio's biggest advantage over Ferdinand is probably that he is a little faster. In any other aspects, there are still some shortcomings. In particular, Lucio is an alternative among defenders and likes to assist forward.

This may have something to do with Lucio's origin as a striker.

But among the players George is currently observing, Lucio is the best choice.

Leverkusen is not willing to give up Lucio, but Lucio himself is yearning for Blackburn. Both are strong teams with good results in the past few seasons. Leverkusen is in the same situation as Blackburn now. Because in the transfer market, they have also lost important players one after another.

Midfielder core Ballack and winger Ze Roberto have been poached by Bayern.

Like Blackburn, they have lost too much blood. But Lucio is still willing to go to Blackburn. Blackburn's previous results are needless to say, they also lost too much blood, but Blackburn and Leverkusen are different.

The two generals Ballack and Ze Roberto, both of them have strong performances and are not low in reputation. But the transfer fee of the two is not as much as the price of Ferdinand sold by Blackburn. So now Blackburn has a lot of money in hand and is aggressive in the transfer market.

But Leverkusen has not made any movement.

Both teams have lost important players, but Blackburn is actively recruiting. As for Leverkusen, Lucio sees no hope at all.

Therefore, Lucio is of course inclined to Blackburn.

The Leverkusen executives hesitated and didn't respond much. George didn't talk nonsense with them at all, and directly threw 8 million euros. But Leverkusen refused. Now Leverkusen wants to make more money from Blackburn. Everyone knows that Blackburn is the team with the most cash in European football.

After selling three absolute main players, George now has 90 million euros in funds.

Leverkusen wants Blackburn to pay some money.

But George doesn't care about Leverkusen's little idea. He directly threw 10 million euros, using this performance to tell Leverkusen and all European football clubs that Blackburn is not short of money. Although we have lost the main players, we can also make up for the losses.

Leverkusen hesitated for a while, but still rejected George's offer.

This made George very dissatisfied. The players in the Bundesliga are originally worth less, and 10 million euros for Lucio is already very high. Unsatisfied.

But George didn't give Leverkusen a chance to consider it, and once again offered 12 million euros. George's idea is to quickly resolve the battle. It will be the end of July soon. Solve the problem of signings earlier so that you can focus on training.

This time Leverkusen really saw Blackburn's determination. This is completely not treating money as money.

Under this money offensive, Leverkusen soon fell into it. In the end, George used 13 million euros to bring Lucio from Germany to England.

The introduction of Lucio made the somewhat restless Blackburn fans and players feel a little relieved.

Although Lucio's value is only one-third of Ferdinand's, his strength will not be one-third of Ferdinand's. As the main defender of the World Cup champion team, Lucio's strength is still very recognized.

Of course, the introduction of a Lucio cannot replace the departure of three main players.

This time George set his sights on the middle.

Deco left, and George completely lost the brain to control the rhythm in the midfield. Hum, Real Madrid actually poached his brain, so George poached Real Madrid's future brain. You poach my current players, and I will poach your future players.

George's eyes were on Spain. On the team that also had the word "Royal" in front of it, Real Sociedad.

Real Sociedad has a good player, that is, Xabi Alonso, the future midfield metronome of Spain and Real Madrid. This is a very perfect defensive midfielder, with strong defensive strength and the best ability to control the rhythm of the game in the world football.

George had an evil thought in his heart. When he bought Alonso, if he sold it to a Spanish club in the future, he would sell Alonso to Barcelona and piss off Real Madrid.

However, unlike Leverkusen, Real Sociedad is a small team, but it is very strong. For their captain Alonso, it is a posture of resolute defense. The chairman and coach of Real Sociedad told George that Alonso is not for sale in Real Sociedad.

Hearing Real Sociedad's solemn assurance, George sneered in his heart.

Except for the giants of the level of Real Madrid and Milan, they dare to say that so-and-so is not for sale. Just like Real Madrid said Raul is not for sale, Milan said Maldini is not for sale, other clubs will never make an offer.

You, Real Sociedad, dare to say that someone is not for sale. Isn't this a joke? Even Blackburn doesn't dare to say who is not for sale.

So George didn't waste time talking to them, and directly threw 8 million euros.

Xabi Alonso has only played two seasons in La Liga now. He is only 20 years old and still very young. In fact, this season is the beginning of Alonso's glory in history. His outstanding performance has attracted the attention of many top clubs in European football.

Xabi Alonso is still a Spanish rising star now.

George directly threw 8 million euros, which is a very high price. But Real Sociedad's attitude is still very firm. But George doesn't care.

The second time was 11 million euros, and then he started to contact Alonso privately. Compared with Real Sociedad, Blackburn is definitely a big stage. George believes that Alonso is an ambitious player and will definitely not be satisfied with being the core of Real Sociedad.

Eleven million euros really stunned the Real Sociedad club.

This country bumpkin from England is really rich. A rising star who has just played two seasons in La Liga actually offered such a high price. Real Sociedad was a little reserved.

George didn't say anything and threw another 14 million euros.

This time Real Sociedad couldn't resist. 14 million euros is still a huge sum of money for a club like Real Sociedad. Small teams in La Liga are generally struggling to survive now. Therefore, Real Sociedad agreed to Blackburn.

George introduced two players in a short period of time. And the price is not low. This made many people quiet down. They saw that George now had money in his hand and told the European football clubs that he was not short of money.

Two updates today. Three updates starting tomorrow.
