coach legend

Chapter 394
Evan left Blackburn without even making waves in English football.

Of course not because Evan is a small person in English football.If it was any other time, Evan's departure would definitely have been reported by many media.In any case, they are the assistant coaches of the team that just won the Champions League.Still a young incredible head coach.

Blackburn's coaching staff is very young.Especially the three most important coaches, George, Evan, and Karl are all young and in a mess.None of the three had reached the age of 40, and Carl was the oldest.But this year is only 37 years old.

Therefore, the combination of three people still attracts a lot of media attention.

Therefore, Evan's departure must usually attract a lot of media attention.

But when is it now?
Now the eyes of all the media in the world are focused on the far east, on South Korea and Japan in East Asia.Who cares at this time, a small assistant coach.

The biggest thing in world football right now is the World Cup.

However, the Blackburn media did not forget the great hero Evan.

Steven Yellen praised Evan eloquently in the "Blackburn Evening News".

Even the acquaintance of George and Evan in Germany at the beginning was said to be "a match made in heaven".Steven Yellen used his powerful imagination and his ability to produce flowers with his wonderful pen, and almost wrote the meeting between George and Evan as a myth arranged by God.

Anyway, if you read what Steven Yellen wrote, you would think he was writing mythological novels.

But Blackburn fans love it.

At this time, the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup began.

The opener is between defending champions France and Senegal.However, unlike history, Zidane was not injured in the warm-up match.Still able to play.

Senegal is not weak, but in the face of the powerful France, it still failed to truly create the myth of a dark horse.Zidane really deserves to be the most powerful midfielder of this era. His appearance made the French team not like history.

Under Zidane's dispatch, the French team attacked violently.

With Henry, the top scorer in the Premier League, and Trezeguet, the top scorer in Serie A, the French team did not give Senegal any chance at all.A three to one, defending their reputation as the defending champion.

This surprised George a little.

But George felt sad for Miku.In fact, this World Cup is almost Micoud's last chance.George originally thought that once Zidane was injured, with Micoud's current reputation, he would definitely be the main force of the French national team before Zidane came back.

Too bad history has changed.Zidane turned out not to be injured.

As long as Zidane is not injured, with his status in the French national team, no one can really replace him.

It is estimated that after this competition, Micoud is basically desperate for the national team.But for the French team, George has some expectations.With a healthy Zidane, supplemented by Henry, Trezeguet, Vieira, Makelele and other strong players, even compared with the Brazilian team, it is not a catty.

There were some surprising games in the first round of the World Cup.In the first game, Germany defeated Saudi Arabia with a score of [-]-[-].

And Klose, who was placed high hopes by Germany, lived up to expectations.Head kicks scored four goals in his first World Cup game.Off to a good start at the World Cup.Completed a beautiful big four.

Seeing Klose in such an amazing state, George felt both joy and worry.It's not that I'm worried that Klose will leave Blackburn, but I'm worried about what kind of salary Klose should be given after the World Cup is over.

That kid Allen will definitely fight for a big contract for Klose.Now Klose's salary is not too low.The weekly salary is nearly 200 pounds, and the annual salary has reached 300 million pounds.Converted into euros, it is [-] million euros.

Except for those giant teams, Klose's salary is considered good.But this salary, compared with his performance, is still too low.

Because history has changed, George watched some World Cups in Korea and Japan.

Boasted by the British media as the most powerful England team in history, they were eliminated just after entering the knockout round.The one who eliminated them was the French team that broke through the group stage.The French team was not eliminated in the group stage, but won three games in the group stage and easily broke through.

France is currently the most promising team.Brazil and Italy are also popular.But it can't compare with France at all.

France is strong, but only a small score of one to zero defeated the England team.

The mighty Henry and Trezeguet were not able to break through the gate of the England team.

Although the English media likes to brag, England's strength is really not very weak.Especially England's defense is definitely a world-class combination.Gary Neville, Campbell, Ferdinand, Daniel Morrison, this combination is the most powerful defender combination in world football.

It's a pity that Zidane is really excited to play England.

A free kick near the penalty area scored the only goal of the game.Also eliminated "the most powerful England team in history".

But soon George was disturbed by other things.

After the quarter-finals of the World Cup ended, George received many offers.

…………

George was sulking alone in the office.

After finally having a holiday, George wanted to have a good time.Who would have thought that he would be busy so soon.

Looking at the pile of quotations, George couldn't help frowning.Looking up, I couldn't find the familiar figure.Before this kind of thing, George always discussed with Evan.Although Karl is very good at training players, this aspect is not his strong point.

George is familiar with Evan beside him.Without Evan for a while, I always feel that something is missing.

If it was an ordinary offer, of course George didn't care at all.After all, the current Blackburn is not the Blackburn three or four years ago.

Although it is still a small club, its reputation has changed.The Premier League champions for two consecutive seasons, and a Champions League champion is there.Although the gap with some European giants is not small, the average strong team cannot compare with Blackburn.

Therefore, George will not care about the quotations of those clubs.

But as Blackburn won the Champions League, this time it was the European giants who offered Blackburn.

George couldn't ignore it.

There are only two that George attaches the most importance to.One is Manchester United's offer for Ferdinand, and the other is for Barcelona's offer for Pires.

Manchester United, Barcelona.

It seems that Ferguson is very dissatisfied with Manchester United's current central defender combination.Last season, the combination of Brown and Woodgate was overwhelmed by many strong teams.It would be absolutely impossible for Ferguson if he didn't have feelings.

Manchester United's offense is still very strong.

It's a pity that Manchester United's defense is too poor.Not to mention the central defenders, the full-backs are also weak.If the defense is not good, it is the material for being slaughtered.

Ferguson was determined this time.The first offer was £800 million.

In addition to Manchester United, it is Barcelona's offer for Pires.

Pires performed very well in the Champions League.Especially against Real Madrid, against Carlos, Carlos was beaten throughout the game.This kind of performance made Barcelona like it very much.Overmars, who spent a large transfer fee from Barcelona, ​​has performed poorly since arriving in Barcelona.

The current Overmars can't be seen at all as the left winger who surpassed everyone in England back then.

So Barcelona thought of changing someone.They thought of Pires.

Barcelona is not stingy either.The direct asking price is 600 million pounds.

George was very distressed.

The most distressing thing is how to reply them.According to George's idea, of course they all refused.Ferdinand is George's choice for the team's defensive core for the next ten years, and George Pires doesn't want to give up.Pires was a genius, and George liked Pires very much.

Wing, center, no matter which position Pires is doing is quite good.How could such a player George give up.

It's a pity that this kind of thing is not something that George can decide.Although Blackburn's recent results are very good, the results of these two seasons are completely better than Manchester United's Barcelona.

But in terms of attractiveness, George believes that Blackburn simply cannot be compared with these two teams.

If the player wants to leave, George can't stop it.

You can say that.Since the Bosman Act, player will has become more and more important.Especially those stars, they play a big role in the transfer.The personal will of the players can often determine the success or failure of the transfer.

So George now has a headache.

The headache is the attitude of these two players.Ferdinand will return to England soon, because the England team has already been eliminated.But Pires is still following the French team, and George doesn't want to bother him for a while.

But George hasn't considered it completely yet, and another offer that gives George a headache comes.

This time it is a club from Milan, Italy, not AC Milan, but Inter Milan.Their goal surprised George. It turned out that they were not looking at such popular players as Klose and Micoud.

The player that Inter Milan looked at turned out to be Makelele.

George always thought that all Blackburn players could be spotted, but Makelele was the least problematic.Because Makelele played very plainly, not very dazzling at all.Among Blackburn, some players are very famous.

But Makelele...

I really didn't expect that Inter Milan turned out to be interested in Makelele.

George thought about it and thought of Cooper.It should be that Cooper fell in love with Makelele. The famous defensive coach must have seen the value of Makelele.It is estimated that Cooper felt that Di Biagio was getting old and wanted to find someone to replace him.

So I fell in love with Makelele.

George touched his forehead and felt a headache.Bad grades are a headache, and good grades are also a headache.
