Chapter 117 Big Fight

In the midst of the celebratory atmosphere, George's face suddenly darkened.

George knew that the club had conducted this transaction in secret, and the biggest concealment was from himself. He was so stupid that he didn't hear any rumors. There are bigger fools in the world than himself.

George didn't blame Ballack for agreeing to join Leverkusen. Ballack is different from many other players. He has a very clear understanding of his career. Ballack knows how to take his career in the most advantageous way.

This can be seen from Ballack's choice in his previous life. Ballack, who emerged from Kaiserslautern, was appreciated by many clubs. Including the Bundesliga giants such as Bayern Munich. But Ballack did not choose Bayern Munich at that time, but chose Leverkusen.

In 1999, Ballack joined Leverkusen, which proved to be the wisest decision in Ballack's career. Ballack quickly established the position of the core of the midfield and also grew into an international superstar in Leverkusen. If Ballack chose to join Bayern Munich at that time, who could guarantee that Ballack would play in the strong Bayern Munich?

Ballack's choice this time was definitely the wisest, but the subsequent choices showed Ballack's vision even more. After playing in Leverkusen, Ballack immediately joined Bayern Munich, the top club in the Bundesliga. In Bayern Munich, Ballack became a world-renowned superstar and one of the best midfielders in the world at that time. The further improvement of his popularity also made Ballack the first person in German football and the captain of the German national team.

Four years after joining Bayern Munich, Ballack has not renewed his contract. At the last moment, he joined Chelsea, a new Premier League team. He came to England at the end of his career and earned the highest salary in European football. At this time, Ballack has both fame and money. It can be said that his career is basically perfect except for so many regrettable runner-up titles.

George knew that when Burnley told Ballack that he could negotiate with Leverkusen, Ballack would definitely make a choice in his heart.

Just as George thought, Ballack was shocked after hearing the club's notice. Because Ballack had never thought about leaving Burnley, Ballack also wanted to follow George to play in the Premier League. Ballack likes George and is willing to follow him. This is not only because George has promoted and appreciated him, but also because George has the ability to lead him to a higher level.

Ballack is a very sober person, and he is very grateful to George in his heart. But if George himself has no ability, Ballack will not follow George. But Ballack trusts George, so he never thought about leaving Burnley before. He also wants to learn more under George.

But when the club notified him that he could negotiate with Leverkusen, Ballack woke up from his dream. Ballack re-examined the club. George is a good coach. But he is just a coach. This time, the club has bypassed George.

The club can buy and sell players privately without notifying George, the head coach. It can sell the midfielder who is most valued by the head coach. What is the future of such a club? Ballack is very wise. He kept his mouth shut before signing the contract. Although he felt very sorry for George, Ballack still had to decide his career first.

Until today, when all the contracts have been signed and the season is completely over, Ballack has never concealed it.

"Coach Levy, what do you think of the FA Cup championship?"

"Coach Levy, what do you think of Bergkamp's red card?"

"Coach Levy, Coach Levy."

George is now less than 30 years old and has already won the two major English cups. Starting tomorrow, there will definitely be media saying that George is a famous coach. Even before, some media have said that George is the best local coach in England in recent years.

Although England is known as the originator of modern football, it is rare to see any very outstanding coaches in England. The development of English football, especially tactical reforms, is more from Scottish coaches. It can be said that the most lacking thing in English football is Scottish coaches, and it can even be said that Scottish coaches have created the glory of English football.

Far away, Shankly, who created the Liverpool dynasty, and Liverpool King Dalglish, are all coaches from Scotland. Of course, including former Arsenal coach Graham and current Manchester United coach Ferguson are all outstanding Scottish coaches. Even in the 21st century, there are Scottish young coaches such as Moyes and Coyle in the Premier League.

On the contrary, there are so few local coaches in England that every time the England national team selects a coach, they always shout that they want to choose a local coach. Unfortunately, there are no good local coaches in England. Later, the most famous one was Redknapp, but he was just a tall man among short men.

The local head coach McLaren, who was chosen by the England national team, eventually became a laughing stock. Although the English media later shouted that they wanted to choose a local coach. Unfortunately, there are really no good coaches in England, so they can only choose Capello.

This hurts the self-esteem of the arrogant English media. Now that a young local coach like George has suddenly appeared, they still brag about him. Although George's mouth is a bit foul and he didn't give those reporters much face. But there are really many media praising George.

This time George won the FA Cup again, and the media followed George like flies. However, George did not cooperate with them this time like he did when he won the League Cup. Now George has a gloomy face and is in an extremely bad mood.

So he didn't respond to the reporter's questions at all, but walked straight to the player tunnel. Now following George are all the media reporters in England. When they saw George's appearance, they were very dissatisfied. You just won the FA Cup, not the Champions League, so why bother?

When George walked to the players' tunnel, he happened to find Barry Kilby and Caleb Varga coming out of there. It should be said that after the two of them watch the game in the VIP room, they can go back to the club to celebrate. But the two of them are very happy, after all, this is the FA Cup. The FA Cup is no different than the League Cup, it is a very high honor in English football.

So they were going to come down to celebrate with the team. Unexpectedly, they saw an angry George as soon as they came down.

"George, congratulations. You are really a famous coach in British football now." Kilby spoke with a smile and stretched out his hand from a distance.

But George was not in such a good mood and showed no signs of it at all. Kilby put his hands in the air in great embarrassment, but he soon covered it up with laughter. The reporters following George turned out to be far away from George and almost dispersed. Anyway, George didn’t speak, so he couldn’t interview anything.

But when the reporters who hadn't left saw the scene just now, they immediately took pictures. The head coach and the chairman have a bad relationship, what a great subject.

"Mr. Kilby, I want to ask you something. What is going on with Ballack's transfer?" George spoke forcefully, which meant that George had controlled his temper.

Kilby's expression changed when he heard George's words, and he turned around and looked at Caleb Varga. In order to keep their negotiations with Leverkusen confidential, the two of them personally facilitated the talks with Leverkusen's senior management. And there was also a guarantee for Ballack.

The two of them forgot that Ballack had remained silent until the contract was signed. Now that the two parties have completed the transfer, Ballack said goodbye to George.

"George, you heard." Of course Caleb Varga had to speak for Kilby at this time. "George, do you know how much money Leverkusen paid? The final transaction price was eight million pounds. You should know what the price is. Even in the current Premier League, there are not many midfielders whose prices exceed eight million pounds." Thousands of pounds.”

Hearing Caleb Varga's words, George smiled helplessly. Eight million pounds is indeed a high price. Leverkusen has always been stingy, and being able to spend eight million pounds is definitely a bold move. Although the current value of European football players is starting to be inflated, eight million pounds should be more than 10 million euros. Absolutely high price!

However, George did not praise them for making a good deal. Instead, he looked at Caleb Varga funny, and suddenly he couldn't help but feel angry.

"Eight million pounds is really a good deal." George sneered, his voice suddenly rising. "Shit, he's just a country bumpkin, he's never seen money. Eight million pounds, I'm fucking telling you, if Ballack plays in the Premier League for a year, he won't be able to win for 20 million pounds. Eight million pounds, You are so proud of yourself here, I..."

George found himself suddenly having trouble breathing again, so he took a breath to calm himself down.

Kilby and Caleb Varga were completely stunned. Although George is very arrogant in front of the media, he always controls his temper when talking to Kilby and Caleb Varga. Neither of them had ever seen George so angry and swearing.

"George, you've gone too far." Kilby frowned when he saw George scolding Caleb Varga so mercilessly.

"Shut up!" George was so angry now that he couldn't care about anyone anymore. "You said in front of me a few days ago that I have the final say on the team's affairs, and player sales require my approval. You are a complete hypocrite."

After saying that, George was still angry. "You two short-sighted guys are satisfied with Burnley's promotion to the Premier League. Now you no longer care about results. Ballack can sell them. I don't know who else you can't sell."

Just when George was having a big argument with Kilby and Caleb Varga, although the reporter following George didn't fully understand what was going on, he could still tell that the three of them were quarreling. They happily took pictures behind them, feeling secretly proud. What does it matter if George neglects them? If you follow George, there will be no shortage of news.

What good news material is that the head coach who has just been promoted and won two more cup titles is at odds with the chairman.

"George, you..." Kilby said and stopped here. Kilby's education did not allow Kilby to behave like a shrew like George now.

"What are you, I tell you. Burnley is really unlucky to have bastards like you two. Why didn't I realize that you two were such bastards?"

After saying that, he ignored Kilby and Keller and left the place directly. Kilby and Caleb Varga were left with a very pleased reporter and a stunned audience.
