Coaching legend

The World Cup in France is in full swing, and all eyes of European football are focused on France.

But George was not able to enjoy this four-year football feast. Although he also watched the World Cup in his previous life, he only watched it on TV at home. Although he now has the opportunity to experience the charm of the World Cup on site, George is busy all day because of the previous season. For the new season's lineup, George almost traveled all over France. As he arrived at his final destination, Bordeaux, George's transfer in France had reached its end.

There is a powerful Ligue 1 team in Bordeaux, Bordeaux Football Club.

Bordeaux is not only a strong team in Ligue 1 now, but also has very good results in history. Although it cannot compare with French giants such as Saint-Etienne and Monaco, it is also one of the strongest teams in the history of French football.

George is here for a genius who was born at the wrong time.

Speaking of Bordeaux's history, they have a lot of attacking midfielders in their lineup. In other words, Bordeaux has the soil for offensive midfielders to survive. Many well-known talented midfielders in France have played here. Including the generation king Zidane, who played for Bordeaux and became famous before going to Juventus. And Gourcuff, who was later hailed as Zidane's successor, regained his confidence in Bordeaux and was reborn after being returned by Milan.

And there is actually another person in the middle, a regrettable talented midfielder. He is the talented midfielder John Miku who left behind the sentence "If Zidane is born, why Miku!"

John Miku, a talented midfielder who was overshadowed by Zidane. Because France has Zidane, Miku can only serve as Zidane's substitute in the French team. He could only live a life of wandering around and failed to prove himself in a wealthy family. But this cannot cover up Miku's powerful strength. He has exquisite skills, accurate passing, and strong shooting ability. His style is very similar to Zidane.

Not only do Miku and Zidane have similar styles, but their paths to fame are also very similar. They both made their debut at the Cannes club and moved to Bordeaux after becoming famous in the Cannes club. Then they all began to be recognized by European football in Bordeaux. Miku went to Bordeaux to replace Zidane who left Bordeaux.

Miku can only be said to have been born at the wrong time. Now Zidane is Juventus' main midfielder. After this final, Zidane will become a real superstar. Everyone wants a player like Zidane, but there are few clubs in European football that are worthy of Zidane.

But Miku has not yet become famous and can only play in Bordeaux. And when Zidane was at Bordeaux, Bordeaux was the Ligue 1 champion in the 1994-95 and 1995-96 seasons. However, in the two years since Miku came to Bordeaux, Bordeaux's performance in Ligue 1 was not good, ranking fourth the year before last and fifth last season.

So George's eyes came to Miku. Now that Bordeaux's results are somewhat poor, this is the best opportunity to make a move. However, George did not go directly to Bordeaux, but met with Micoud's agent first.

Such private meetings without the consent of the club are against FIFA regulations. But there are unspoken rules for this kind of thing in the football industry. As long as you don't do it too much, everyone is well aware of it.

George doesn't have much to worry about, even though George is now making a name for himself in English football. But he doesn't have any fame in Europe. Unless he is someone who pays attention to British football, few people know George.

"Hello, Mr. Wacker. I'm George Levy."

Although George smiled and stretched out his hand, he already cursed countless times in his heart. Wacker was nearly ten minutes late from the agreed time, which made George very angry. But there is no way, who made George just a small coach now. Moreover, Blackburn is not as prosperous as it was a few years ago. Its performance in recent years has been too poor and it is truly a small club in the Premier League.

But Micoud is different, although Micoud has not yet become famous in Ligue 1. However, many French media still compare Miku and Zidane together. There are also many foreign clubs interested in Miku, which makes Vacker put on airs in front of George.

"Coach Levi, hello. I'm really sorry. There are too many people at the World Cup and there's a traffic jam."

Wacker looked at George as he spoke, even though he already knew that George was young. But when I saw him in person, I was secretly surprised. Only five years older than Miku, he is already the head coach of a Premier League club.

After the two briefly exchanged greetings, they got down to business. Although George knew French, Vacker negotiated with George in English. This gave George a good impression of Wacker, a man who knew how to respect others.

George did not hide his appreciation for Miku in front of Wacker. Then he told Wacker that he was going to build his own team with Miku as the core. Miku definitely occupies the most important position in his team, and Blackburn is an ambitious club.

Bordeaux is a French giant, and Blackburn's current situation is very problematic. With Blackburn's status in relegation in the Premier League, Miku will definitely not choose Blackburn. After all, if there is still a chance to participate in the European League in Bordeaux, but Blackburn will only be relegated. So George told Wacker that Blackburn owner Jack Walker was ready to invest again.

Blackburn won the Premier League title that year. It was a typical championship built with money. So George is going to tell Wacker that Blackburn is going to start investing money again. Then he told Wacker that Blackburn had already bought many Ligue 1 players in Ligue 1, so Miku didn't have to worry about integrating into the locker room.

After all, Ligue 1 is just a springboard, and Miku will have to leave sooner or later.

The question is where to go, Premier League, Serie A, La Liga, Bundesliga?

Compared with these leagues, Ligue 1 has no advantage at all. If there is an advantage to French Ligue 1, it is that young players can get more training and development. But Miku is no longer young, he is already twenty-five years old.

After talking about the business, George chatted with Wacker, whatever came to his mind. The two talked about the history and culture of France for a while, and about the World Cup for a while.

Toward the end, George quietly slipped Valcke five thousand pounds. Then he told Valcke that if Miku's transfer could be facilitated, there would be a benefit of 5,000 pounds. If the transfer cannot be completed, then five thousand pounds will be regarded as a meeting gift.

Miku is completely different from other transfers facilitated by George. It is not easy for Bordeaux to grab players. George needs Miku's cooperation, which will not only suppress the price, but also reduce the obstacles to the transfer. Otherwise, George would not have given Valxe five thousand pounds.

Valcke received five thousand pounds and immediately smiled. Unlike in the future, where player salaries can easily reach tens of thousands of pounds per week, the salaries of European football players are not very high now. Even the highest salary in those wealthy clubs does not exceed 50,000 pounds. Not many ordinary players in the top leagues can earn more than £10,000.

Therefore, five thousand pounds was still a large amount, and Valk's impression of George suddenly became very good. This is a really knowledgeable coach.

Not only did he give Valker five thousand pounds, George even told Valker that Blackburn was not short of money. Once Miku is willing to go to Blackburn, Blackburn will never treat him badly in terms of salary. These are all disguised ways to tell Valcke that working with Blackburn will definitely not lessen his benefits.

Both parties were quite satisfied with the meal, and Valk left with satisfaction. He also promised to let George and Miku meet in person tomorrow. Looking at Valk leaving with a smile on his face, George shook his head.

"It's true that money can make all the difference."

…………

"Coach Levy, Pires promised to come to Blackburn." That night, Kurbis's phone call came to George.

Hearing Kurbis's answer, George was secretly happy. But I always feel sorry for Wenger, who first snatched away his FA Cup title and shattered Arsenal's double crown. Immediately afterwards, he wanted to poach Wenger's future general Pires. I am really sorry for Wenger.

But when George said he was sorry, he felt like he was gloating about his misfortune.

Damn it, it just stole one or two of his players. In the future, I will steal more good players from Ferguson and Wenger, and steal more championships from Manchester United and Arsenal.

"Mr. Kurbis, this is really the best news. We will send someone here to negotiate a contract with you right away."

Putting down the phone, the smile on George's face grew wider and wider. "Evan, Pires has done it. This trip to France is really fruitful."

But before I could get excited, I received another call.

"Mr. Flynn, why..." Except for George who was personally responsible for it, all other transfers were handed over to Richard Flynn.

"Mr. Levy, good news. Gudjohnsen rejected Bolton and has signed a contract with us. And Anderson's nationality application has been received." Hearing Richard Flynn's words, George was overjoyed. Is this what is called The three joys come to the door.

Gudjohnsen has been contacted by Bolton and is a free agent. Gudjohnsen is not yet a member of the Icelandic national team, and his performance is not very good. That's why he was reduced to a free agent, and George acquired the future main forward of the Icelandic national team for Blackburn for free.

The Anderson mentioned by Richard Flynn was Anderson Deco, later the main midfielder of the Portuguese national team and the main midfielder who won the Champions League with Porto and Barcelona. At this time, Deco was still a little-known Brazilian player. If he applied for a labor certificate, there was no chance of it being approved.

That’s why I applied for Portuguese nationality. I didn’t expect to get Portuguese nationality now. With all obstacles cleared, Blackburn can buy directly.
