Chapter 139 Cleaning (for collection)

The four-year football feast, George is not blessed to enjoy this football feast.

George spent almost a month in France before returning to England.The things on the French side have almost been resolved, but there are still many important things on the club side.Since entering the World Cup, no one has paid attention to George's news at all.All the attention of the English media is focused on the World Cup and the England national team.

The time has come to July, and the World Cup has already entered the quarter-finals.When George just returned to England, it was just after the game between England and Argentina.

At this time, all media reports focus on only one point, which is the quarter-finals between England and Argentina.There are many things to watch in this game, and this game will be mentioned repeatedly by people for a long time.

This game has all the elements to become a classic, especially on the side of the English media.In this game, Michael Owen scored a goal that shocked the world and was included in the classic World Cup goal. Since then, an international superstar has been born. The nickname "Chasing the Wind Boy" also became popular all over the world.

Of course, apart from Irving, even bigger controversial figures have also appeared in world football.That was David Beckham, who later influenced world football in another way.David Beckham has been a rising star in British football for the past few years, and he has already started to play the main force in Manchester United.He is also one of Manchester United's 92 generation.

1996年8月17日，他在曼联队对温布尔登队的比赛中，从中场附近一记60米开外的超远距离远射成功，技惊四座。他的这一入球在1998年被资深足球明星评选出的有史以来最精彩的3个入球中列第3位。

And on September 1996, 9, he played for the England national team.But Beckham can only be regarded as a well-known rising star in England at this time, and he is not yet well-known in world football.Even among the England national team is not the main force.

However, he participated in the World Cup for the first time. In the group match against Colombia, he scored his first goal in the World Cup with a direct free kick in the 30th minute.This is also the first appearance of the "Bezier Arc" in the World Cup. With this goal, Beckham's status in the hearts of England fans has become higher and higher.It also established Beckham's main position in the England national team.

But the sweet time didn't last long. In the 1/8 finals of the World Cup in France, Beckham was sent off by a red card for kicking his opponent because he was irritated by the Argentine Simeone, which indirectly led to the final penalty kick of the England team.After the game, he was strongly condemned by domestic public opinion and became the "public enemy" of the whole of England for a while.

When George just returned to England, all the media and newspapers in England were condemning Beckham's red card.In their view, Beckham's stupid red card cost England the quarter-finals.

"Evan, look. Our newspapers are willing to engage in such nonsensical things. Even if Beckham is not sent off, we can win Argentina?" George sneered at the English media.

Every time they go to a major competition, the English media brag about how strong the England national team is.And every time the England national team failed, the English media immediately found a scapegoat and criticized them for a while.

Of course, in this World Cup, Beckham became the unlucky ghost.Belittled by media, newspapers and fans all over England.

"George, don't say that in front of the media. This is not a joke." Evan Sawyer nodded.He also can't understand the practice of the English media putting all the blame on Beckham.

But this kind of thing concerns the self-esteem of the people of England.The England team has many mortal enemies, but the biggest mortal enemies are Argentina and Germany.Losing to any team is no problem, losing to these two opponents is something that England fans will not allow.

"I'm not stupid. But think about it, what do you think of us taking this opportunity to dig Beckham?" George would not do things that harm others and benefit himself.It's just that George feels sorry for Beckham, what a player.If it weren't for Ferguson's full support later, there would be no Beckham later.

Evan smiled, of course he knew that George was telling a joke.How could Beckham be so easy to find, and even though Beckham is reviled by thousands of people, his worth is definitely not low.

"How's the deal with Chelsea? I need money here." In France, George threw more than 300 million pounds, which was all wasted money.

"Chelsea is only willing to offer 200 million pounds. Our side hopes to get 500 million pounds. We are stuck there. But there is news from Kevin Gallagher and Sherwood."

"Kevin Gallagher? Who's interested in him?" In fact, Kevin Gallagher is pretty good to stay, this person is old.And the style can completely complement Klose and Gudjohnsen, but if the price is right, there is no problem.

But Sherwood George must deal with it. After all, Blackburn midfielder George already has his own plan.And Sherwood is only 29 years old, still the golden age.It is impossible to be willing to drink coffee on the bench, and for a coach as young as George, he may not be convinced.

"Tottenham are willing to pay 600 million pounds to buy Sherwood." Evan didn't talk about Gallagher first, but Sherwood's situation.

"Six million pounds, you can consider it. Tell them that six million pounds is acceptable." Six million pounds is not bad.

But looking at it this way, we can see why Kilby sold Ballack for 800 million pounds. 800 million pounds is indeed a very high price for Ballack.A midfielder like Sherwood, who has been famous for a long time, only costs 600 million pounds.

"Also, if Sutton can sell about 300 million pounds, we can talk about it." After George took over, the meaning of cleaning was very strong.Chelsea must be waiting, but George can't wait.There are still many acquisition tasks.

"Good. Newcastle's offer is £200m for Kevin Gallagher."

"200 million pounds? Did they think we were beggars? Kevin scored 400 goals last season." George sneered, Newcastle was too...Even if it is doubled to [-] million pounds, George may not agree.

"They said Kevin was getting old."

"Needless to discuss, 500 million pounds. If you want to sell, we will sell it. If you don't want to sell it, we won't sell it." Although Kevin Gallagher is old, if he can't sell it, he can still play in Blackburn. effect.

After the big purge, George still needs some old players to sit in charge.Kevin Gallagher is pretty good.

Evan nodded. In addition to big-name players such as Sutton and Sherwood, Blackburn also has many teams that they bought back then.Including many players on the bench, George dismissed all but a few people.

Blackburn's poor performance in the past few years is due to frequent coaching changes, but it is also related to the fact that players like Blackburn lost their original enterprising spirit after winning the Premier League championship.Therefore, even if many teams have achieved good results, they will make some changes to the lineup.The reason is to keep the team fresh and aggressive.

Except for a few old players left behind by George this time, all the others will be cleaned.
