Chapter 58 Building the Future

George headed straight for Uruguay with a disgruntled Evan Sawyer.

"Evan, don't you moan. You think I'd like to bring you with me. If we have someone in Burnley who can speak Spanish, I wouldn't take you. Preferably a beautiful lady, that would be better " George said with a smile as he saw Evan Sawyer complaining about himself from the time he got on the plane.

Evan Sawyer curled his lips and sighed.

"George, although none of our clubs speak Spanish. But if you throw some money at random, there are still some people who are willing to do this job. You don't give me a raise, why do you let me come with you?"

"Okay, Evan. Look, you can still travel to Uruguay for free. Did I ask you for a travel fee?" George smiled slightly.

Speaking of which, Uruguay is a good place for tourism. Most of the territory is flat and the agriculture and animal husbandry are developed.Uruguay is known as "Switzerland in South America" ​​because of its beautiful natural scenery and stable social environment.Because of its gem-like shape and rich amethyst, it is known as the "Diamond Country".

Moreover, Uruguay is located in the middle of Brazil and Argentina, and it is also a traditional football powerhouse.He has won the World Cup twice in history, and this time George is going to dig a future star in the Uruguayan First Division.

…………

Montevideo is truly one of the most beautiful cities in South America.The scenery in the city is beautiful, the streets are clean and the trees are shady.Walking on the street is lined with trees and flowers are in full bloom, which makes people feel good.

"Evan, you can't see this kind of scenery in England. How about it, it won't hurt you to come out with me." George talked to Evan, feeling the fresh air of Montevideo.

Evan nodded. "Montevideo is worthy of the "City of Roses", it is so beautiful."

Montevideo is the capital of Uruguay and the largest city in the country.Located at the mouth of the La Plata River, it is about 190 kilometers away from the Argentine capital Buenos Aires on the other side of the river.

The original meaning of "Montevideo" is "I see the mountains" in Portuguese.Monte (MONTE) is "mountain", VIDEO (VIDEO) is "I see Montevideo".According to legend, when the Portuguese expedition arrived here for the first time in the 17th century, a sailor exclaimed when he discovered a hill at an altitude of only 139 meters in the northwest of the old city: "I see the mountain", and the city of Montgomery got its name from this.

Of course, the above is just a folk saying, which is not recognized by the academic circle.But Montevideo is indeed very beautiful. If it weren't for his business, George really wanted to visit Montevideo.

After all, there is also the prestigious Prado Park, which is the oldest and most famous park in the city. More than 800 kinds of roses are planted in the park, which makes the city nicknamed "City of Roses".

With Evan Sawyer, a man who is proficient in Spanish, George and Evan Sawyer found Montevideo Wanderers easily.

As the center of world football, especially money, has become more and more influential in football, the domestic leagues of Brazil and Argentina have become the bases for training players.Many Brazilian and Argentine football clubs are repeating a pattern of cultivating players and then selling them to Europe.

As for Uruguay, which is sandwiched between them, their football industry is also quite developed.Uruguayan football clubs' active export of players solves the economic problem and enables football to support more people; it also accelerates the growth of talents and enables more athletes to play their roles.In addition, through tempering abroad, many Uruguayan players have become world-class stars. Once called by the motherland, they

They can immediately enter the national team and contribute to the country.

An active football market promotes the development of the football economy, which in turn creates more and better football talents.Uruguayan football is such a benign development.

Of course, it sounds nice, but in other words it has the same meaning.These South American teams can't keep players. After they train players, they wait for European teams to come and ask for prices.

"Camoranesi, oops. Mr. Levy, Camoranesi is a very important player in our club, and we have no intention of selling him." Hearing that European clubs came here, Perez, who was excited, heard The name of the player George wanted to buy immediately withered.

There are many good players in the Rangers Club, but Camoranesi is not the most important.Players produced in Uruguay are much cheaper than the big stars of Argentina and Brazil.Even more so with Camoranesi.

But thinking that this one is from England, Perez still wants to raise the price.

"Mr. Perez, since we have come here, we have already understood it clearly. I hope we can complete a successful transaction. If we succeed, we can have the next opportunity to cooperate. What do you think?" George slightly With a smile, Perez's lie was exposed on the spot.

Hearing George's straightforward words, Perez bowed his head in embarrassment.

Seeing Perez's performance, George sighed slightly in his heart.No wonder the price of players sold in the Uruguayan league is generally cheap, look at Perez's current performance.George just said a word, and Perez was embarrassed.The businessmen George had met were all thick-skinned, no one had such a thin skin.

"Mr. Perez, I'm willing to buy Camoranesi for $50."

"$50, no, no, no." Perez shook his head again and again. "Mr. Levy, this price is too cheap. Can you add more."

George thought about it, as if it was difficult to make a decision. "Well, I'll add another hundred thousand. $60 is already a very high price for a young player like Camoranesi. The most important thing in South America is talent, and $60 can find a very good player." players."

"Okay, $60." Perez gritted his teeth and agreed to George.But Perez is very happy in his heart. Banfield Club came to contact him some time ago.At that time, they were only willing to pay 40 US dollars, and this time they made 20 US dollars.

As soon as Perez was happy, he began to recommend other players from the club to George.But George was only interested in Camoranesi, so he declined Perez, which disappointed Perez.

After getting Perez settled, George met Camoranesi, the main right forward when Italy won the World Cup in the future.At this time, Camoranesi was only 21 years old, very young.

I didn't have any right to choose. When I heard that it was a club from England, I agreed without saying a few words.

Camoranesi, who is only 21 years old, has a personality with a pigtail and a bun.

"Camoranesi, you have to know that you must have a work permit to play in England. But you don't meet the work permit, but I know your parents are Italian, you can easily apply for Italian citizenship. I hope you can apply Italian citizenship so you don’t need a work permit.” George chose Camoranesi because he knew he had Italian citizenship.

"Having Italian citizenship is not only convenient in England. It will be very convenient to play in European clubs, because many countries have many restrictions on non-EU foreign aid."

Camoranesi nodded. "I see."

George looked at Camoranesi in front of him, and a sense of pride rose in his heart.With Ljungberg and Camoranesi, Burnley's wing is completely alive.With the addition of Ballack in the middle, Burnley's current midfield is not inferior to some mid-to-lower Premier League teams.

When Ballack, Ljungberg, and Camoranesi mature, they will not be at a disadvantage even if they compete with the Premier League teams.

What is the upgrade, Burnley will definitely get better and better in the future.The last piece of Burnley's territory in George's mind was completely completed with the joining of Camoranesi.
