coach legend

Chapter 4

"Burnley?" A tall man with a full height of 1.9 meters.Therefore, George, who is also 1.8 meters tall, has to look up a little to meet his eyes.Ballack, who had just come off the training ground, looked at George in front of him with some doubts.

George doesn't know how excited he is now, but it's not because he saw a future world-class superstar like Ballack.It's because I just learned that Ballack hasn't signed a contract with Kemnitz yet.It is still a free agency until now, but now it is just a trial training in Kemnitz.Although even if Ballack has signed with Kemnitz, his worth is only tens of thousands of dollars.But tens of thousands of dollars is not a small amount for the second-tier teams in England's third tier.

This year, Burnley was relegated from the First Division to the Second Division, which itself has suffered a lot.In addition, Burnley itself is not a rich team, and it is very happy to be able to give George a transfer fee of 100 million pounds.So even if it is a little money, you have to save it. Tens of thousands of dollars may buy some more useful players in the English League B and C League.

George nodded. "Michael, our club was in England's second-tier league last year, which is the English League One. It's just that we failed to relegation this year. From next season, our club will compete in England's third-tier league. And I will I will be the new head coach of the Burnley club. I appreciate your ability very much and hope to invite you to join Burnley." George is really lucky at this time, learning German can play a role at a critical time.

Ballack was a little disappointed to hear that it was a club in England's third tier league.Although it has not yet joined Kemnitz, but how to say Kaimnitz is also the second division of Germany. "Mr. Levy, but Mr. Thiem said the club is considering signing me."

George looked at Evan next to him suspiciously, and Evan immediately understood what George meant and explained to him: "Tim is the coach of the youth team."

"Michael, I have no doubt that Kemnitz will sign you. Because you are outstanding, as long as you are not a fool, you will not be let go. But have you ever thought about it, even if you join Kemnitz? Germany There is a general tendency in football that players don’t really mature until they are 25 years old. You are only now, even if you join Kemnitz, you are just playing with the Kemnitz youth team.” Michael Ballack, George is willing to pay more time.Because Ballack deserves more of George's energy.

So George gave Barack a detailed explanation. "Think about it, the Kemnitz club is poor, and even the investment in the first team is tight. Not to mention the youth team, if there are no hard and fast rules, I believe they will disband the youth team. And you Playing with the youth teams, in those semi-amateur leagues, does not improve you much at all. But we are different at Burnley. Burnley has a history of more than 100 years. It has won the top league twice in history. This season, we are still in the English First Division. Unfortunately, we have been relegated. But our goal is to upgrade to the First Division." Although George is bewitching, he said everything truth.After Ballack joined Kemnitz, he played in the newly established amateur North League.

"Look again, I heard that you have been training with the youth team in Kemnitz for a while. But they haven't offered you a player contract yet, but I flew from England specially for you Arrived in Germany. And I have prepared a contract for you, if you agree, follow me to England." George's words made Ballack fall into deep thought.

And George's words are still very deceptive.Ballack has been gradually leaning towards Burnley.After all, I am not even considered a professional player now, but the head coach of Burnley came to Germany in person. Ballack is quite moved by such sincerity.

"What are you still thinking about? Don't you want to give up such a good opportunity." Evan Sawyer was more excited than Barak himself when he saw Barak thinking about something there. "Those idiots in Kemnitz don't know how to use you at all. If you follow him, you will learn many different things."

Barack was awakened by Evan's words, and smiled shyly at George. "Mr. Levy, I agree to play at Burnley. Let's go to the cafe next door to discuss the details of the contract."

Barack was very young, but he was far more mature than George imagined.But if you think about it carefully, in Ballack's career, Ballack can choose the most beneficial step for him every time.

The contract offered by George is also very good, with a weekly salary of [-] pounds and a four-year contract.This is a very good salary even in the German Bundesliga, and Ballack is very satisfied.But what Barack doesn't know is that George is more satisfied than Barack.Being able to sign a world-class midfielder like Ballack, although the current level has not yet reached its peak, is already a player with quite good abilities.

"Michael, I hope you can report to the club before NO.20 in July." George was relieved the moment he saw Ballack sign his name.Smiling, he stood up and held out his hand.

"I see, Mr. Levy." Ballack was also very happy, and finally he was about to step into the real professional football.

George shook his head and said with a smile: "No, don't call me Mr. Levy. From now on, call me the head or the boss."

"Evan, what did you study in Germany? Or are you also a coach?" After seeing off Ballack, George smiled and talked to Evan Sawyer next to him.This very lively young man seemed very interesting to George.

Speaking of this, Evan sighed. "George, I'm also a coach just like you. But no matter where they are, they look down on young people like me. I guess they have the impression that only people in their 40s can be coaches. Don't even think about it, Bu Ryan Clough was only 32 years old when he was a coach. Chapman was not even 30 years old when he was a coach." As he spoke, Evan felt a little aggrieved, and said very angrily: "I used to be in England. Club, but those people looked down on me. Later, I wanted to break out in East Germany, but I didn’t expect Germany to be more conservative. It’s hard to say.”

Listening to Evan's words, George almost fainted.What a chapman, one of England's greatest managers.He led two different teams and won three consecutive championships.It is also the pioneer of the Arsenal dynasty, and the famous W formation was created by Chapman.And Brian Clough is the most characterful coach in the history of England. He led the third-tier team to become the top league champion in five years.Of course, the most legendary thing is that in Nottingham Forest, he led the team to upgrade and won the league championship in the first year. In the next two years, he dominated European football and won the European Champions Cup.

Evan, a nobody who didn't know where he was, turned out to use the two of them as an example.It's true that I don't know how to look good, but after a short time of contact, George still feels that Evan has some talents.

"How's it going, Evan. How would you like to come to England with me?"
