Coaching legend

It is much easier to clean up players than to buy them. After all, the Blackburn players that George is currently cleaning up are all Premier League stars.

Blackburn's performance has not been good in recent years, but the strength of these players has not been questioned too much. Especially players like Sutton, who are only 25 years old. They are still in their peak state, so it is not difficult to sell them.

George calculated that it would be absolutely no problem to get about 24 million pounds by cleaning up these players from Blackburn. In this way, George has sufficient funds.

George began to speed up the pace of transfers. George currently has many transfer targets. However, many of them are unwilling to go to Blackburn after contact.

Before the World Cup, George's first contact was not a French player. In addition to Deco, George's first contact was Van Nistelrooy, who was still in Heerenveen in the Dutch League. Van Nistelrooy performed well in Heerenveen last season, although he did not reach the performance of the "king of the small penalty area" later. But he has shown the strength of a center forward and emerged in the Dutch League.

Others don't know, but George knows. This future "king of the small penalty area" has changed from the Eredivisie to the Premier League, then to La Liga and the Bundesliga. The only thing that remains unchanged is his goal efficiency.

In the Premier League, Van Nistelrooy and Henry fought to the death for the Premier League Golden Boot, which also added more topics to the competition between Manchester United and Arsenal at that time.

The current Dutch national team is dominated by Kluivert. Although they are the same age, Van Nistelrooy is a late bloomer compared to Kluivert. After George took over as the head coach of Blackburn, he immediately contacted Van Nistelrooy.

But at the same time, the Dutch giants PSV Eindhoven also threw an olive branch to Van Nistelrooy. Blackburn is still not attractive enough. Damn it, Van Nistelrooy would rather go to PSV Eindhoven than to Blackburn. This made George a little frustrated. He always thought that the charm of the Premier League was very great.

Forgot that even in the Premier League, Manchester United, Arsenal, and Liverpool are attractive, but it does not mean that Blackburn is attractive. It seems that only by making Blackburn a strong Premier League team as soon as possible can more players be attracted to join. After hearing that PSV was interested in him, Van Nistelrooy immediately signed a contract with PSV and directly rejected Blackburn.

George had just been busy cleaning up the players at the club, and he rushed to the Netherlands again. Another player in George's plan rejected Blackburn. Unlike Van Nistelrooy, Van Nistelrooy has already signed a contract with PSV. It is a bit difficult for Blackburn and PSV to compete for players now, but now this player is just unwilling to leave the original club.

"Hello, Sammy. I am George Levy." Although Blackburn is in the Premier League now, it is not attractive enough because of the downturn in recent years. George can only personally persuade these players.

Only when Blackburn's performance is good in the future and becomes a strong Premier League team. At that time, George will not need to be so tired, and there must be a lot of players willing to come to Blackburn.

Looking at the tall man with golden hair in front of him, George smiled and stood up.

"Hello, Coach Levy." He was very surprised. He had obviously rejected Blackburn. Unexpectedly, the head coach of Blackburn also came to the Netherlands in person.

George smiled at Sammy Hyypiä, who looked surprised. Yes, the man in front of him was the captain of William II, and also the first foreign captain in the history of Liverpool. George was a coach who started out as a defensive coach at Burnley, and of course he attached great importance to defense when he arrived at Blackburn.

George needs a defensive core, a real defender. George certainly hopes to buy Stam, but unfortunately Stam doesn't like Blackburn. Another person George thought of was Lucio from the Brazilian team, but unfortunately Lucio can't get a work permit now. Damn work permit, Lucio and Hyypiä are such a good defender combination.

So George is determined to get Hyypiä.

"Sammy, you may not know the history of our Blackburn." George briefly introduced the history of Blackburn. Speaking of which, as a founding member of the Football League, Blackburn has not won many top league titles, including the Premier League championship, a total of only three. But in the English FA Cup, Blackburn has won as many as six. Of course, these are not the focus of George's introduction. The focus of George's introduction is about the history after Jack Walker took over.

George was telling Hyypia in disguise that Blackburn had no shortage of money. The last time they won the Premier League title, it was the result of Jack Walker's investment. Now Jack Walker has started to donate generously again, and Blackburn's glory is just around the corner.

Of course, when introducing himself, George also told Hyypia in a roundabout way that he was a champion who had won the English League Cup and the FA Cup. Don't worry about your youth, you are also a champion coach.

"Sammy, since the Bosman Act, the decline of the Eredivisie is obvious. You can play in the Premier League when you go to Blackburn. If you want to transfer to a big club, the Premier League is far more popular than the Eredivisie. And with the development of the English media, as long as you perform well, they will not forget you. At that time, whether you want to stay in Blackburn or you want to transfer to a big club, the Premier League is the best result." Blackburn is too weak and its reputation is too weak.

So George could only tell him that he could use Blackburn as a springboard. But once he got to Blackburn, it would be out of their control.

One of the reasons Hyypia hesitated was that although Willem II could not play with Ajax, PSV Eindhoven and Feyenoord, he still had the opportunity to enter the European League. But after hearing what George said, he was somewhat moved.

Blackburn is a Premier League team. Even if the results are not good, as long as you perform well, you can attract the attention of the giants. And as George said, as long as you have money in football, everything is possible.

In addition, George, the coach, was present in person, and the importance he attached to him can be fully imagined.

"Coach Levy, I'll think about it." Sami Hyypia hesitated.

"Okay, Sami. I hope you can make a decision quickly and report to Blackburn. Don't delay the pre-match training, which will be good for you to integrate into the team."

"Richard, how did you talk with PSV Eindhoven?" After nearly a month of cooperation, although the relationship between the two is not very close. But it is much better than at the beginning, so the address has also changed.

"George, Dennis Romedal performed very well in Valwijk last season. PSV Eindhoven doesn't care about one or two players. Their club lacks everything except talented players. So as long as the transfer fee is sufficient, they will not stop it."

George nodded. PSV Eindhoven and Ajax are both Dutch giants. If it were in the past, Blackburn would not even be a dish in front of them. But now it is different. The Bosman Act has caused PSV Eindhoven and Ajax to suffer heavy losses. Those good players are difficult to keep as long as someone wants to poach them.

"Can you roughly calculate how much it should cost?"

Romedal, one of the best wingers in Denmark. He can play on both sides, especially on the right.

"It shouldn't be very expensive. After all, Romedal just played last year. He is young and shouldn't be more than two and a half million pounds."

"Okay, Richard. You can take care of this." Two and a half million pounds is not very expensive.

"And George, there is better news."

"Richard, don't keep us in suspense. Tell me, what's the good news?" Richard Flynn is the head of Blackburn's transfer department, and the good news he said must be about the transfer.

"Hargreaves has basically agreed to play in England, but he has some doubts. He wants to know how many playing opportunities he can get?"

"Haha..., tell him. Although I can't promise a starting position, I can at least give him 20 games to play."

The Hargreaves that George and Richard Flynn were talking about was Owen Hargreaves, who was born in Canada. He is now in the youth team of Bayern Munich and has not been called up by the Bayern Munich first team. The call from England at this time made Hargreaves a little excited.

George likes Hargreaves, who is good at attacking and defending. And once he joins the English nationality, he will also be a local player. Now it's still free, so George certainly won't let go of such a good player.
