Chapter 137 He is not Zidane

The World Cup in France is in full swing, and all eyes in European football are on France.

But George was not able to enjoy the four-year football feast. Although he also watched the World Cup in his previous life, he watched TV at home.Now, although he has the opportunity to experience the charm of the World Cup on the spot, George is busy all day long because of the previous season.For the new season's lineup, George has traveled almost all over France.And with the final destination Bordeaux, George's transfer in France has come to an end.

There is a Ligue [-] powerhouse here in Bordeaux, which is Bordeaux Football Club.

Bordeaux is not only a strong team in Ligue [-] now, but also has very good results in history.Although it cannot be compared to the Ligue [-] giants such as Saint-Etienne and Monaco, it is also one of the most powerful teams in the history of French football.

George is here for an untimely genius.

Speaking of the history of Bordeaux, there are many offensive midfielders in their lineup.In other words, Bordeaux has the soil for the survival of offensive midfielders. Many well-known talented midfielders in France have played here.Including the generation of king Zidane, before going to Juventus, he played and became famous in Bordeaux.There was also Gourcuff, who was later hailed as Zidane's successor. After being returned by Milan, he also regained his confidence in Bordeaux and was reborn.

And there is actually another person in the middle, a talented midfielder who is regrettable.He is the generation of talented midfielder John Micoud who left behind the sentence "Since Zidane was born and Micoud was born!"

John Micoud, a talented midfielder whose light was overshadowed by Zidane.Because France has Zidane, Micoud can only serve as Zidane's substitute in the French team.His life can only be a homeless life, failing to prove himself in a wealthy family.But this can't conceal Miku's powerful strength.He has delicate skills, accurate passing, good shooting ability, and his style is very similar to Zidane.

Not only are Micoud and Zidane similar in style, but their paths to fame are also remarkably similar.They both debuted at the Cannes Club and moved to Bordeaux after becoming famous at the Cannes Club.Then they all began to be recognized by European football in Bordeaux.And Micoud went to Bordeaux to replace Zidane who left Bordeaux.

Miku, it can only be said that he was born at the wrong time.Now Zidane is already the main midfielder of Juventus. After this final, Zidane will become a real superstar.Everyone wants a player like Zidane, but there are not many clubs in European football that are worthy of Zidane.

However, Micoud has not become popular so far and can only play in Bordeaux.And when Zidane was in Bordeaux, Bordeaux was the Ligue 94 champion in the 95-95 and 96-4 seasons.However, in the two years since Micoud came to Bordeaux, Bordeaux's performance in Ligue 5 was not good. It was No.[-] the year before and No.[-] last season.

So George's eyes came to Micoud. Now that Bordeaux's performance is not good, this is the best opportunity to make a move.But George didn't go directly to Bordeaux, but met Micoud's agent first.

Without the club's consent, such a private meeting is against FIFA regulations.But the unspoken rules of this kind of thing in the football industry, as long as it is not done too much, then everyone knows it well.

George doesn't have much to worry about, although George is now emerging in English football.But he doesn't have a little reputation in Europe. Unless he is someone who pays attention to English football, few people know George.

"Mr. Walker, hello. I'm George Levy."

Although George smiled and stretched out his hand, he didn't know how many times he cursed in his heart.Wacker was nearly ten minutes late from the agreed time, which made George very angry.But there is no way, who makes the current George just a small coach.Moreover, Blackburn is not as good as it was a few years ago. In recent years, its performance has been too poor. It is a veritable small club in the Premier League.

But Micoud is different, although Micoud is not yet popular in Ligue [-].However, there are still many French media who compare Micoud and Zidane together.There are also many foreign clubs interested in Miku, which makes Wacker put on airs in front of George.

"Coach Levy, hello. I'm really sorry, because there are too many people in the World Cup and there is a traffic jam."

Walker looked at George while talking, although he already knew that George was young.But when I saw myself, I was secretly surprised.Only five years older than Miku, he is already the head coach of a Premier League.

After the two exchanged simple greetings, they got to the point.Although George knew French, Wacker negotiated with George in English.This made George have a good impression of Wacker, a man who knows how to respect people.

George did not hide his admiration for Miku in front of Wacker.Then he told Waker that he was going to build his own team with Micoud as the core.Among his own team, Micoud definitely occupies the most important position, and Blackburn is an ambitious club.

Bordeaux are the Ligue [-] giants, and Blackburn's current situation is very problematic.With Blackburn's relegation status in the Premier League, Micoud will definitely not choose Blackburn.After all, if there is still a chance to participate in the European League in Bordeaux, but in Blackburn, it can only be relegation.So George told Walker that Blackburn owner Jack Walker was ready to reinvest.

Blackburn won the Premier League championship that year, which is a typical championship piled up with money.So George is going to tell Wacker that Blackburn is going to start investing again.Then he told Wacker that Blackburn had already bought many Ligue [-] players, and Micoud didn't have to worry about integrating into the locker room.

After all, Ligue [-] is just a springboard, and Micoud will leave sooner or later.

The question is where to go, Premier League, Serie A, La Liga, Bundesliga?
Compared with these leagues, Ligue 25 has no slight advantage.If there is an advantage in the First Division, it is that young players can get more exercise and development.But Miku is not young anymore, he is already [-] years old.

After finishing the business, George chatted with Walker, and said whatever came to mind anyway.The two talked about the history and culture of France for a while, and chatted about the World Cup for a while.

Towards the end, George quietly slipped five thousand pounds to Walker.Then tell Valck that if Micoud's transfer can be facilitated, there will be a benefit of five thousand pounds.If the transfer cannot be completed, then five thousand pounds will be considered as a gift.

Micoud is completely different from other transfers promoted by George. It is not easy for Bordeaux to grab players.George needs the cooperation of Micoud, which will not only lower the price, but also reduce the barriers to transfer.Otherwise George wouldn't have given Valxey £[-].

Walker got [-] pounds, and his face immediately burst into laughter.Unlike in the future, when players' salaries can be tens of thousands of pounds a week, the salaries of European football players are not very high now.Even the highest salary of those giants will not exceed [-] pounds.There are not many ordinary players in the top league whose salary can exceed [-] pounds.

Therefore, [-] pounds is not a small amount, and Walker's impression of George suddenly became better.This is a really knowledgeable coach.

Not only gave Walker [-] pounds, George even told Walker that Blackburn is not short of money.Once Miku is willing to go to Blackburn, Blackburn will definitely not treat him badly in terms of salary.These are all disguised to tell Walker that working with Blackburn will definitely not lose his benefits.

Both parties were quite satisfied with the meal, and Walker left contentedly.He also promised to let George and Miku meet in person tomorrow.Seeing Valk leaving with a smile on his face, George shook his head.

"It's true that money can turn ghosts around."

…………

"Coach Levy, Pires promised to go to Blackburn." That night, Kulbis called George.

Hearing Kulbis' answer, George secretly rejoiced.But I always feel sorry for Wenger. First, he robbed him of the FA Cup and shattered Arsenal's double.Immediately afterwards, he wanted to dig out Wenger's future general Pires. I am really sorry for Wenger.

But George said sorry in his heart, but it seemed to be a feeling of gloating.

Mom's, but just robbed him of one or two players.In the future, I will grab more good players from Ferguson and Wenger, and grab more championships from Manchester United and Arsenal.

"Mr. Kulbis, this is really the best news. We will send someone here to negotiate a contract with you immediately."

Putting down the phone, the smile on George's face grew wider and wider. "Evan, Pires got it done. This trip to France has been rewarding."

But before I got excited, I received another call.

"Mr. Flynn, why..." Except for George who was personally responsible, the other transfers were handed over to Richard Flynn.

"Mr. Levy, good news. Gudjohnsen has rejected Bolton and has signed with us. And Anderson's citizenship application has come down." Hearing what Richard Flynn said, George was overjoyed. Could this be the so-called Three blessings come to the door.

Gudjohnsen was approached by Bolton, who is a free agent.The current Gudjohnsen is not yet a member of the Iceland national team, and his performance is not very good.That's why he was reduced to a free agent. George networked the future main striker of the Icelandic national team for Blackburn for free.

The Anderson mentioned by Richard Flynn was the main midfielder of the Portuguese national team, and the main midfielder Anderson Deco who won the Champions League with Porto and Barcelona.At this time, Deco was still a little-known Brazilian player. If he applied for a labor certificate, there was no possibility of passing it.

That's why I applied for Portuguese citizenship. I didn't expect to get Portuguese citizenship now.After clearing all obstacles, Blackburn can buy directly.
