Coaching legend

George was not lucky enough to enjoy the football feast that happens once every four years.

George was busy in France for nearly a month before returning to England. Things in France have been almost resolved, but there are still many important things at the club. Since entering the World Cup, no one has paid attention to George's news. All the attention of the English media is focused on the World Cup and the England national team.

It is already July, and the World Cup has entered the quarter-finals. When George just returned to England, it was just after the match between England and Argentina.

At this time, all media reports focused on only one thing, which was the quarter-final between England and Argentina. This game has many highlights, and this game will be mentioned repeatedly by people for a long time.

This game has all the factors to become a classic, especially for the English media. In this game, Michael Owen scored a goal that shocked the world and was recorded in the World Cup classic goal. Since then, an international superstar has emerged. The nickname "Wind Chaser" has also become popular all over the world.

Of course, in addition to Owen, more controversial figures have also appeared in the world football. That is David Beckham, who later influenced the world football in another way. David Beckham has been a rising star in the English football world in recent years and has begun to play as a main player in Manchester United. He is also one of the 92 generation of Manchester United.

On August 17, 1996, in the match between Manchester United and Wimbledon, he scored a super long-range shot from 60 meters away near the midfield, which shocked everyone. His goal was ranked third among the three most exciting goals ever selected by senior football stars in 1998.

And on September 1, 1996, he played for the England national team. But Beckham was only a rising star with a good reputation in England at this time, and he was not very famous in the world football world. He was not even a main player in the England national team.

But in his first World Cup, in the group match against Colombia, he scored his first goal in the World Cup with a direct free kick in the 30th minute. This was also the first appearance of the "Beckham arc" in the World Cup. With this goal, Beckham's status in the hearts of English fans has become increasingly high. It also established Beckham's main position in the England national team.

However, the sweet time did not last long. In the 1/8 finals of the French World Cup, Beckham was sent off for kicking his opponent because he was angered by Argentine Simeone, which indirectly led to the England team's final penalty defeat. After the game, he was strongly condemned by domestic public opinion and became the "public enemy" of the whole of England for a while.

When George just returned to England, all the media and newspapers in England were condemning Beckham's red card. In their view, Beckham's stupid red card made England lose the quarter-finals.

"Evan, look. Our newspapers are willing to do this kind of nonsense. Even if Beckham was not sent off, we could have won Argentina?" George sneered at the English media.

Every time they went to a big game, the English media boasted about how powerful the England national team was. Every time the England national team returns home in defeat, the English media immediately finds a scapegoat and criticizes them.

Of course, in this World Cup, Beckham became the unlucky one. He was spurned by all the English media, newspapers and fans.

"George, don't say that in front of the media. This is not a joke." Evan Sawyer nodded. He also couldn't stand the English media's practice of blaming all the responsibility on Beckham.

But this kind of thing is related to the self-esteem of the English people. England has many deadly enemies, but the biggest deadly enemies are Argentina and Germany. Losing to any team is no problem, but losing to these two opponents is not allowed by English fans.

"I'm not stupid. But think about it, what do you think about us taking this opportunity to dig Beckham?" George would not do such a thing that would harm others and benefit himself. It's just that George felt sorry for Beckham, such a good player. If it weren't for Ferguson's strong support later, there would be no Beckham later.

Evan smiled, of course he knew George was joking. Beckham is not so easy to dig, and although Beckham is now reviled by thousands of people, his value is definitely not low.

"How is the negotiation with Chelsea going? I need money here." George threw more than 13 million pounds in France, which is all pure silver.

"Chelsea is only willing to pay 12 million pounds, and we hope to get 15 million pounds. It's deadlocked there. But there is news from Kevin Gallagher and Sherwood."

"Kevin Gallagher? Who is interested in him?" In fact, it's not bad for Kevin Gallagher to stay. This person is old. And his style can completely complement Klose and Gudjohnsen, but if the price is right, there is no problem in selling him.

Sherwood George must be dealt with. After all, Blackburn midfielder George has his own plan now. And Sherwood is only 29 years old, still in his prime. It's impossible for him to be willing to drink coffee on the bench, and he may not be convinced by such a young coach as George.

"Tottenham is willing to pay six million pounds to buy Sherwood." Evan did not talk about Gallagher first, but talked about Sherwood's situation.

"Six million pounds, you can consider it. Tell them that six million pounds is acceptable." Six million pounds is pretty good.

But from this point of view, you can see why Kilby sold Ballack for eight million pounds. Eight million pounds is indeed a very high price for Ballack. Sherwood, a midfielder who has been famous for a long time, only sold for six million pounds.

"Also, if Sutton can sell for about 13 million pounds, we can talk." After George took over, the meaning of cleaning was very strong. Chelsea must be waiting, but George can't wait. There are still many acquisition tasks now.

"Okay. Newcastle offered two million pounds for Kevin Gallagher."

"Two million pounds? Do they think we are beggars? Kevin scored sixteen goals last season." George sneered. Newcastle is too... Even if it doubles to four million pounds, George may not agree.

"They said Kevin is old."

"No need to talk, five million pounds. If you are willing to sell, then sell. If you are not willing, we will not sell." Although Kevin Gallagher is old, if he cannot be sold, he can still play a role in Blackburn.

After the big cleanup, George still needs some old players to take charge. Kevin Gallagher is very good.

Evan nodded. In addition to big players such as Sutton and Sherwood, Blackburn still has many players bought in the past. Including many players on the bench, George sent them all away except for a few people.

Blackburn's poor performance in recent years is due to frequent changes of coaches, but it is also related to the fact that these players of Blackburn lost their original enterprising spirit after winning the Premier League championship. Therefore, many teams will make some changes to the lineup even if they have achieved good results. The reason is to keep fresh blood in the team and keep the team enterprising.

This time, George will clean up all the other players except for a few old players.
