Chapter 5 Windfall
"George, why don't we continue to find some players in Germany. German players are definitely better than English players." Evan promised George to go to Burnley to work, but he had objections to George's choice to leave Germany immediately.In Evan's view, the best players in the world are now in Germany and Italy, and Italian players are reluctant to leave Italy. After all, Serie A is now a small World Cup, the most glorious era.

Compared with Italian players, German players are really good and cheap. German players in this era are known for their outstanding ability and strong mentality.Not only that, the performance of the German national team has been the most stable in world football in recent years.

From 1982 to the present, the German national team has won one championship and two runners-up in the four World Cup competitions, and it was the last runner-up in the European Cup.And in the upcoming European Cup, the German national team will also win the European Cup.But this is already the last glory of the German national team. After the retirement of Sammer, Sauer, and Klinsmann, the German team will enter a situation where there is no success.

From the end of the 90s to the beginning of the [-]th century, there were only two superstars in Germany.It was just Kahn and Ballack who was cheated by George. It was also because of this situation that the German Football Association began to pay attention to youth training.Therefore, George just smiled at Evan's words without answering.

"George, what do you mean? Since Burnley is a second-tier club, the options should be very limited. There should be no problem in finding some good players in Germany that no one has found." Evan still persuaded George Find two more players in Germany.

George shook his head and said with a wry smile: "There are many good players in Germany at this stage, but none of them can be introduced by our club. If it is possible, I certainly hope to be able to introduce Kahn as a star player, but do you think it is possible? As for the youth Germany’s youth training is over. Germany’s youth training is even far inferior to England’s. For a long time, it will be difficult for Germany to have such good players as Sammer and Klinsmann.”

"But Evan, since you've come to Germany, it's good to find some places to play." George also became interested, and he really hasn't been in Germany for so many years.But after thinking about it, George still felt that he should visit some football temples. "Evan, why don't we go to Bayern Munich to have a look. Anyway, we came to Germany, and it's always a pity that we haven't been to Bayern Munich. Maybe we will lead the team to Munich in the future. It's good to observe the route in advance."

When Evan heard George's words, he could only smile wryly.I don't know whether to say that George has lofty ideals, or whether he should say that George is daydreaming.

"George, you haven't just been appointed as the head coach. There should be a lot of things to do, why do you still have the time to hang out here." Evan looked at the excited George, and called George tiredly from behind.

George turned to look at Evan, shaking his head. "Evan, since you are in a sports academy, your physical strength is too weak." George looked at Evan who was out of breath, and made fun of Evan. "There is still nearly half a month before the end of the league, so don't be so anxious. I have always wanted to see Kaiserslautern, the 'Emperor's Lautern River', look how beautiful it is here."

Having said that, George is actually most interested in the myth of Kaiserslautern.Back then, there was a miraculous head coach who first staged the miracle of a newly promoted horse winning the championship in Kaiserslautern, and then led Greece to stage a Greek myth in the European Cup.This is Rehhagel known as "Otto the Great", and George is also very curious about the myth of Kaiserslautern.So after visiting Bayern Munich, I came to Kaiserslautern.

"Oh, George, I'm really tired now. It seems that there is a game over there, let's go and sit for a while." Evan didn't have any idea about what George said, just wanted to find a place to sit down.

George looked up and saw a football game was going on there.Judging from the spectators and players, it should be a student game, and it should be an amateur game anyway.George has been in this world for ten years, and he really hasn't watched the amateur league seriously.There are kickers everywhere in England, but George is just one look away.

"Evan, I now understand why the German team's technical and tactical abilities are so strong. Look, these kids are only sixteen or seventeen years old, but they don't play football at all. You see, every player is like a robot , I don’t know if this training method is correct.” George sighed after watching for a while.The German team is different, it should have been cultivated like this since childhood.Otherwise, how could the German national team be so disciplined.

Evan looked at George and smiled angrily. "George, I now wonder how you became the head coach of an English club. It's so rare, don't you know that German players are trained like this since childhood."

But there was a smile on George's face. Although he was talking to Evan, his eyes were fixed on a person on the court.Because this person is really conspicuous, even though he is only about 1.8 meters tall.It can't be seen among tall and tall defenders, but every time he heads the ball, he can see the person's judgment on the ball path.

The header is really great. With a height of 1.8 meters, among the defenders who are a head taller than himself, he can always make a dangerous header.Not only is he very good at judging where the ball falls, but his waist and abdomen strength is also very good. Every header can create a dangerous shot.George gradually became interested in this person. This player must be a natural header player.Such a player is very useful for England's low-level leagues that are dominated by long passes.Maybe it would be nice to buy it back as a substitute.Anyway, it seems that this is just an amateur game, it should be a free agent.

"George, why did you fall in love with that striker? I think it's average. Except for the header, it's better, but the technique is poor, the body is poor, and the shooting is even worse. You can only use the header when you buy it back, but you can play as a substitute in the second division. Maybe it’s okay.” Evan noticed that George was staring at the striker, so he expressed his opinion.

George nodded, the current Burnley striker is too weak.The biggest reason for relegation in the First Division is poor attack power.Burnley's defense is still very good. Although they are relegated, the goal conceded rate can even be ranked in the middle of the first division.So the first thing George has to do is to strengthen the team's offensive power. For the original forwards, they can only be used as substitutes, and the rest should go away.

"Evan, the game is over. Go over and have a look." George saw that the game was over, so he dragged Evan to find the forward he had just been optimistic about.When he had reached the middle of them, he suddenly stopped.

"George, what's the matter." Evan looked at George suspiciously.

Unexpectedly, there was a smile on the corner of George's mouth, and he said softly: "Evan, it seems that this time I picked up the baby."
