Coaching legend

"George, is Sagnol okay?" After the game, Ferguson invited George to drink.

This is actually a tradition in English football. But there is one person who ignores this tradition, the French coach Wenger. After Wenger entered the English football world, he was like an alternative person and could not really integrate into the English football environment.

However, such an outsider has only been in the English football world for two and a half years. But he has won two consecutive Premier League titles. He has become a head coach with the same reputation as Ferguson in the Premier League.

"Not very good, I may need to rest for a while. What, are you willing to loan Neville to me?"

"You, hahaha." Ferguson pointed at George and laughed. "By the way, George, I heard that you and Wenger are proposing some special genius clauses. Do you think it really works?"

George stayed today just to talk to Ferguson about this issue. I didn't expect Ferguson to bring up this topic first, which is even better.

"Of course. I found many good talents in South America and Africa. But these people can't get work permits, and it's unknown when they can get them. When they can get work permits, I don't know how much they will be worth."

"After all, our club can't have tens of millions of pounds in transfer fees every season. I can only think of this way."

George thought to himself that the emergence of the special talent clause was really due to your anger, Ferguson. Ferguson was furious because he didn't introduce Kaka. This is also a major reason for the emergence of the special talent clause.

And Manchester United is not particularly short of money. Now it can still call the shots in the transfer market. When Florentino and Abramovich came out, who can compare with Real Madrid and Chelsea in terms of money. Of course, including Barcelona, ​​Milan, and Inter Milan, their purchasing power is far greater than Manchester United.

"Special talent clause?" Ferguson played with the wine glass in his hand and talked to himself there.

George smiled at Ferguson. George is known as the best young coach in England, and Wenger has won two Premier League titles in less than three years since joining Arsenal. However, George and Wenger combined are not as influential as Ferguson.

Ferguson has been in English football for more than ten years and has led Manchester United to achieve remarkable results. Not only the league championship, but also the Champions League last season. This is the first English team to win the Champions League since the English team was banned by UEFA.

Ferguson's influence in English football is unmatched. If Ferguson also supports this proposal, he can be regarded as a real heavyweight.

"George, you should know that the English Football Association has always been conservative. It is difficult for them to introduce a new policy."

George nodded. The most conservative and bureaucratic football organization in Europe is the English Football Association.

"I don't expect them to completely liberalize the work permit system." George also took a sip, then smiled and said: "I don't have a big appetite. Give me a quota every season, and I will be satisfied."

Ferguson nodded and did not continue the topic. "George, do you play horse racing?"

"No."

"That's fine. Do you have time to go with me?"

"I'm really not interested in this."

There are many people in the English football world who like horse racing, including Ferguson and England's golden boy Owen. But George is not very interested in horse racing. It's okay to play it occasionally. If you really want to go to gamble on horses, there will be no fun.

…………

After the game, they just had two simple drinks. Although Ferguson did not have a clear answer, George knew that Ferguson had agreed. As long as Ferguson agreed, with Ferguson's influence in the English football world, no one can ignore what he said.

In addition, Wenger, the coach of the Premier League champion for two consecutive years, and George, the most outstanding young coach in England.

Of course, there are coaches from other small clubs. The combined strength of these people is something that the English Football Association needs to consider. Maybe it is not impossible to come up with special talent clauses a few years in advance.

But more important than this now is that George has to determine the extent of Sagnol's injury.

"George tells you good news and bad news." Evan saw George coming and said with a smile.

"Evan, you are still in the mood to talk nonsense at this time. Tell me, what's going on. How is Willy's injury?" George shook his head. At this time, Evan was in the mood to joke with George.

Although losing to Manchester United was Blackburn's first loss this season. But compared to losing, George is most concerned about Saniol's injury. In the 38th round of the league, what does it matter if you lose one or two games. Now that the main right-back Saniol has been broken for a game, this is what George is most sad about.

Seeing George's anxious look, Evan slowly opened his mouth.

"The bad news is that Willy's injury is very serious." When Evan said this, his expression was very solemn. As George's assistant coach, Evan certainly understood that the two full-backs played a big role in George's offensive. Among the two full-backs, Saniol on the right played a bigger role.

"Then what's the good news?" George asked Evan with hope.

Evan shook his head.

"The good news is that Willy is not out for the season. The doctor said it will take two months to resume training. Willy will be out for about three months and will not be able to return until January next year."

George smiled bitterly. "Is this a blessing in disguise?"

It is not good news that Sagnol will be absent for three months. "Evan, come to my office and let's discuss it."

Sagnol's absence is a big problem. During the more than three months of his absence, Blackburn also needs a new right back to replace Sagnol.

In fact, Blackburn does not lack right backs at all. Henning Berg, William Gallas, Owen Hargreaves, and Sun Jihai can all play the right back position. But no one's strength can compare with Sagnol.

Among these people, George first excluded Henning Berg. He is old, and although he debuted as a right back. But he has been playing as a central defender for many years, and there are many problems in playing right back again. In George's lineup, the two full-backs need a lot of physical strength. Not only do they have to let go, but they also have to participate in the attack. The current Henning Berg is obviously not suitable.

The next one excluded by George was Hargreaves. Although Hargreaves can play as a full-back, Hargreaves's characteristic is still a midfielder. He is the kind of stubborn defensive midfielder, and he is not as good as a real defender in choosing his position.

Although Hargreaves is good as a right back, once he encounters a team that plays a pass-cut combination, this position can easily become a breakthrough point. Even if Hargreaves is personally strong, his position is unstable and he can easily be broken through by passing. Therefore, George also ruled out Hargreaves.

Only Gala and Sun Jihai made George a little embarrassed.

"If you look at it from the perspective of strength, Gala is better, and from the perspective of position, Sun Jihai is a real right back." Evan analyzed his opinion to George.

George nodded. Gala is indeed better in terms of physical fitness and technology. But Gala is not a right back, although he can play the right back position. Therefore, if Gala plays right back, there are still many problems.

Sun Jihai is a right back, but he is slightly inferior in strength. Compared with Sagnol, he is inferior in both offense and defense.

Thinking of this, George laughed dumbly. If Sun Jihai's strength was the same as Saniol's, there would be no need to worry. How could Saniol become a main player while Sun Jihai was a substitute?

"Let Sun Jihai take over during training tomorrow. See the effect."

There is no other way now. Let's try to see how Sun Jihai performs.

This trip to Old Trafford was really a loss. He lost the game and injured the main player. George was in a very bad mood and slowly returned to his home.

But when he saw his home, George was stunned. Because the door was open, George's first thought was that there was a thief in the house. But then he shook his head. Although George's place is not the most upscale residential area in Blackburn. But it is also a very good place in Blackburn.

The security here is still very good. It is unlikely that there will be thieves or something like that.

George patted his forehead. Miranda also has a key to his house, so it should be Miranda.

Since Miranda graduated, there is not much time. George was very happy, so he pushed the door open and went in. Having just lost to Manchester United, Sagnol's injured and somewhat angry mood immediately improved a lot. So he walked in with a smile and shouted.

"Miranda, Milan..."

George stopped before entering and stared blankly inside. Of course, the house was still so clean, and there was definitely no thief. What surprised George was the person sitting in front. George smiled awkwardly.

"Uncle York, you are here. How are you recently?"

If it was before, he would definitely be in a very good mood to see York. But now that he saw York, George's heart was beating. After all, he slept with his daughter and hadn't seen him for a year. When they met suddenly, George was very embarrassed.

Old York just nodded and stood there with a gloomy face.

"You are here." Miranda came out of the kitchen and curled her lips after seeing George. She pointed at Old York with her eyes.

George saw it. Old York came here specifically.

"Uncle York, let's eat first." George asked Old York in a low voice. Old York shook his head, looked at George for a while, and then said slowly.

"No, George, sit down first. I want to talk to you."
