Coaching legend

Chapter 253 I need a center

"I'm sorry." After George entered the player tunnel, he saw Mitchell halfway.

George didn't know what to say, and finally said this sentence. "I'm sorry", in fact, can't describe George's current mood. George didn't want to believe that Burnley, which he built with his own hands, was finally pushed to the English League One by himself.

Looking at Mitchell who has always supported him, George really couldn't face it.

Mitchell's face was livid, and he didn't reply to George's words.

Mitchell didn't know what to blame George for? Scold him in this situation? Beat him?

Mitchell just felt sad. Why did George leave Burnley, why didn't George continue to coach Burnley. Otherwise, how could Burnley return to the English League One just two years later.

George could understand Mitchell's mood, so he didn't continue to talk to him and left the place. George didn't even go to the press conference. George didn't know what to say to the reporters.

After Burnley confirmed the relegation, the English media reported it extensively.

Of course, a relegated team certainly couldn't attract the attention of the English media. What they were concerned about was that Burnley was kicked down to League One by Blackburn, and it was George, Burnley's former meritorious coach, who kicked them down to League One.

This time, even Mark Lawrenson, who had been relatively silent these days, came out. And he was very kind to congratulate George. "Mr. Kilby intervened in the affairs of the Burnley team and forced their meritorious coach, Coach Levy, to leave. Finally, retribution came, and it came only two years later."

"Coach Levy is a very straightforward coach, and he will definitely be upset about what happened in the past. Take this opportunity to teach Kilby a painful lesson. Kilby paid a heavy price for his arrogance in the past."

"After the game, Burnley fans were very angry, and George was hit on the head by the angry fans' mobile phones. I think the anger of Burnley fans is understandable, after all, they were relegated. But they don't have to be so hostile to George. George is just a coach, what's wrong with him coaching Blackburn? And even if they were relegated, it was because Burnley's previous performance was too poor, and Blackburn couldn't be blamed."

Mark Lawrenson seemed to have good intentions. He laughed at Kilby, but seemed to defend George in every way.

But George threw the newspaper to the ground at once. This bastard, he didn't think George was a little anxious now. On the surface, it seems to defend George, but in fact, it has been emphasizing Blackburn and Burnley. It is obvious to others that George transferred from Burnley to Blackburn.

…………

However, this matter did not last for two days, and a bigger news reached the front page of the media.

The Blackburn Evening News was the first to disclose that Blackburn had reached an agreement with Galatasaray. Galatasaray's Hakan Suk and Emre transferred to Blackburn for 12.8 million euros.

Blackburn has been active in the transfer market in the past two years.

In the first transfer period after George took over, George spent more than 20 million pounds to buy players. Most of the players bought at that time are now the main players of Blackburn, including Hyypia, Pires, Miku, and Van Bronckhorst, who were all introduced at this time.

And in the second summer transfer, George spent another 20 million pounds. Among them was a big deal that shocked the British football world, buying Ferdinand from West Ham United for 12 million pounds.

It can be said that George has been in charge of Blackburn for two years, and the transfer fee is very sufficient. It is even comparable to the English powerhouses such as Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool, and Chelsea. Therefore, George's actions this summer are not shocking.

However, the media is very concerned because the League Cup final between Blackburn and Galatasaray is about ten days away.

Therefore, when the news came out, the first thing the media thought of was whether Blackburn was harassing for the League Cup final. This kind of thing will happen before many important games. The strong side will use this kind of news to disrupt the opponent's preparations.

This kind of thing is used too much. Therefore, seeing Blackburn also use such an old-fashioned method, many reporters despise it in their hearts.

However, this trick is old-fashioned, but it is also good news. Therefore, many reporters flocked to Blackburn and wanted to interview George.

Before George accepted the referee, someone inside Blackburn had already spread the news. It is said that Blackburn and Galatasaray contacted in February of this year, and the two sides had almost finished the talks at that time. There were only a few minor issues left to be resolved, so it was delayed.

But at the end of March, it was actually negotiated.

Davor Suker and Emre will come to Blackburn in the summer transfer window for 12.8 million euros. Even the personal contracts of the two players have been negotiated, and only the final signature is left.

With the leak of Blackburn insiders, all the media realized that George was not playing psychological warfare this time. It was already negotiated, but it just happened that Blackburn's opponent in the League Cup final was Galatasaray.

When the news came out, many reporters went to Galatasaray to hear the answer.

In fact, Galatasaray was also caught off guard. When they talked to Blackburn at the time, they did not think that they would meet Blackburn in the League Cup final. So they didn't know what to say to the reporters.

It is difficult to conceal it now. After all, the news came out from England first, and the English paparazzi is definitely one of the most powerful paparazzi in the world.

Therefore, Galatasaray was hesitant. This made the reporters even more curious.

Soon these powerful reporters had figured out the whole story. What happened now surprised them. At present, Hakan Sukur and Emre are both the main players of Galatasaray, and the most important players.

Hakan Sukur is the goal guarantee of Galatasaray.

Now these two players have become Blackburn players. How will they face the old and new owners at that time? This is what these reporters are most concerned about. They flocked to Galatasaray and wanted to interview Hakan Sukur and Emre.

Hakan Sukur and Emre are in an awkward position now.

The personal conditions of the two of them have almost been discussed with Blackburn. They hope to go to Blackburn to take their careers to the next level. But Blackburn is the opponent in the final after all, so it is not easy to sing praises for him.

Now they are still Galatasaray players, and it is difficult to say anything to Galatasaray.

Now the new and old clubs are about to play. They really don't know how to answer the questions of reporters. They can only give a very official answer: "We will try our best in the game."

But the reporters are unwilling to give up and pester these two people every day.

The harassment of reporters seriously interferes with Galatasaray's preparations. They will also ask Fatih Terim whether they will be removed from the starting lineup because they have become the opponent's players. The harassment every day and every moment finally made Terim unbearable.

Terim finally decided to expel those reporters in desperation.

Unfortunately, Terim forgot. Reporters are the most shameless people. How can you let the reporters leave with just one word?

Compared with Galatasaray, Blackburn is much better. Facing the questions of reporters, Blackburn players are also very cooperative.

"Suker, I don't know this player very well. But I always believe in the boss's vision. If the boss says he is good, then he must be very strong." Klose is no longer shy in front of reporters. It may be the performance this season that has greatly increased Klose's confidence.

"But Suker's position overlaps with yours. You..." The reporter asked Klose maliciously.

"The boss told me that Suker and I have different playing styles. We can coexist." Klose replied with a smile. "We support the boss's choice. I also hope to work with Suker."

Miku praised Emre during the interview.

"I have seen his games, he is very good. The boss told me that he wants to train Emre to be my successor. In fact, in my opinion, after two or three years, his strength may even surpass me completely. At that time, I may have to be his substitute."

"Will it impact my position?" Miku shook his head. "I like competition, whether it is with other teams or within the team. If his strength exceeds mine in the future, I am willing to give up my main position. I absolutely support the boss's decision."

Before signing, all Blackburn players are very welcome to the arrival of the two of them.

The more Blackburn players are willing to accept interviews, the less interested those reporters are in Blackburn. Galatasaray wanted to keep a low profile, but the reporters were more interested. They waited around Galatasaray's stadium every day for the players to finish training.

They not only harassed Galatasaray's top management, but also Galatasaray's head coach Terim. The two parties were harassed by reporters all the time.

Of course, Galatasaray's players were inevitably chased by reporters. But their position was awkward, and it was difficult for them to accept interviews as freely as Blackburn players. They didn't know what to say?

Should they support Hakan Suk and Emre to go to Blackburn? Or not to go?

George was getting more and more proud looking at these newspapers. Terim, you are the best coach in Turkish history, so what? I want to see how you deal with so many reporters.

George decided to add fuel to the fire.

During the interview, George affirmed what had happened during this period of time. "We have indeed discussed everything, and they will soon be our Blackburn players. I never thought that I would meet Galatasaray in the League Cup final. Maybe this is just a coincidence."

"Why am I interested in Suker? The reason is simple."

"I need a good center forward!"
