Coaching legend

Liverpool had indeed been in contact with Hyypia. When George agreed to Liverpool's offer, the next day Liverpool's official website posted the news of Hyypia's transfer on the homepage.

Blackburn's central defender Sami Hyypia transferred to Liverpool at a transfer price of 13.5 million pounds.

All media were shocked when the news came out.

Liverpool media and Liverpool newspapers were excited. Especially Liverpool fans, they saw the hope of Liverpool, a veteran giant, to rise again.

Hyypia has become one of the best defenders in English football with his performance in Blackburn for the past two seasons. He was also the main defender for Blackburn to win the second place in the Premier League and the League Cup last season.

Last season, Liverpool had already started to change blood. And in the competition with Blackburn, they snatched German international Hamann. This season, they bought their defensive core directly from Blackburn.

Where is there better news than this.

Blackburn fans are very sad. Although Hyypia has only been in Blackburn for two years, his outstanding performance has been loved by Blackburn fans.

Blackburn Rovers just won the UEFA Cup. The most important thing now is to consolidate the current lineup. As long as the current lineup is maintained, Blackburn Rovers will have a lot to do next season. Even after Blackburn Rovers won the UEFA Cup, many media outlets were predicting Blackburn Rovers' moves.

They think George is definitely not a coach who is satisfied with the UEFA Cup. And Jack Walker is not a stingy chairman. Blackburn Rovers will definitely have other moves this summer. But they didn't expect that the first move would be to sell their core defenders.

This made many people confused. Some media even compared this transfer with Shearer's transfer that year.

"Blackburn just celebrated the greatest championship in their club's history. But less than 20 days later, Blackburn's defensive core Hyypia moved to Liverpool."

"Hypia is only 27 years old and still has a lot of peak years. Selling Hyypia reminds me of Blackburn's selling Alan Shearer."

"After Blackburn won the Premier League, just one season later Blackburn sold their top scorer Alan Shearer to Newcastle. This transfer proved to be Blackburn's biggest failure."

"After Shearer's transfer, Blackburn never found a striker who could replace Shearer. And Blackburn's subsequent results are also All the way down. Premier League champion Blackburn, on the contrary, became a relegation team. This cannot but be said to have a lot to do with Shearer's transfer. "

"Now Blackburn, who just won the League Cup, did not supplement the lineup, but sold Hyypiä instead."

"George's transfer has always been praised by many people. As for Hyypiä, when Hyypiä came to Blackburn two years ago, it was only two million pounds. Two years later, Hyypiä's transfer fee exceeded 13 million pounds. In terms of transfer fee, it was earned."

"But Blackburn lost the most reliable defensive core in their defense line."

"Is it earned? Is it a loss?"

Many people don't understand Blackburn's sale of Hyypiä.

Looking at these newspapers, George threw them all on the ground. Do you think I am willing to sell Hyypiä? If possible, I will never sell Hyypiä.

Damn, am I easy?

George can only vent in his heart. But he still has to think about what will happen after Hyypiä leaves.

But Hyypiä's matter is not over yet, George has received other transfer applications one after another. Including Luciano Zauri, Dennis Romedal, Bellamy and others. George looked at these transfer applications and knew that they were all clamoring for transfers because they were not the main players.

George was a little surprised. He didn't expect so many players to transfer. But they are all capable players. George can understand that they want to go to a club where they can play as the main players.

In fact, George doesn't care about several of them.

Just like Luciano Zauri and Dennis Romedal, if they want to leave, they can leave.

But George likes Bellamy very much. It's not that he likes Bellamy's personality, but Bellamy's strength.

Bellamy has a bad personality. He is the worst character among all the players George has coached. George asked Bellamy to pass more, but Bellamy turned a deaf ear. George asked Bellamy to participate in defense, and Bellamy would curse.

Fortunately, George, who has been coaching for five seasons, is not just debuting.

If it was three or four years ago, when George had just become the head coach, he would definitely throw Bellamy directly into the youth team. George would never allow any player to challenge his authority.

But George's personality is much better now. Although Bellamy has a bad personality and is undisciplined. But George still beats and pulls him, and is merciless when criticizing him, but he will respect him later. The biggest reason is that George admires Bellamy's strength. Especially his amazing speed.

Fast players are everywhere in the Premier League. Especially players who play on the wing are all very fast players.

But players as fast as Bellamy are counted in the Premier League and European football. Especially when the opponent's players are not physically fit in the second half, Bellamy can completely destroy their wingers when he comes on the court.

Bellamy's speed is far beyond the imagination of many people.

It is because of Bellamy's speed that George admires him very much. I love and hate Bellamy George, but I can't bear to give up. With Bellamy, Blackburn's offense will have a big change.

So George asked Bellamy to meet.

Bellamy didn't take no for an answer. Sitting awkwardly in front of George, he didn't respect George's thoughts at all.

"Craig, do you really want to transfer?"

"yes!"

Bellamy replied stiffly. George smiled slightly, Bellamy had a bad character. But his difference is not due to a recurring personality. Rather, any thoughts in the heart are expressed on the face. To be happy is to be happy, to be unhappy is to be unhappy. This is Bellamy.

"Why?"

"I think I deserve a starting spot."

George narrowed his eyes at Bellamy. If he wants the main force, George will never give Bellamy the main force. Of course, if Bellamy is willing to change his bad habits, George is willing to give him a chance. But Bellamy is very stubborn and unrepentant.

"Craig, do you know why you can't get the main position?"

"I don't know. I think my strength should lead to the main position." Bellamy's answer was still stiff.

George shook his head.

"Craig, I have to say. You are indeed very strong, or your talent is very good. Speed, your speed is not possessed by many people. You have the speed blessed by God."

"But I have to be honest, Craig, with your current performance I will never give you the main position. Do you know why?"

Craig shook his head very unconvinced.

"Then I'll tell you now. Because you're disobedient."

Craig's eyes widened. "Head, what do you mean?"

"With your talent and your age, as long as you are willing to follow my instructions, I am willing to give you a chance. But you are unwilling to cooperate with other players and like to work alone and act recklessly. This is incompatible with my team. So you I have never been able to get the main position.”

George is like a teacher, teaching Bellamy Chun Chun.

On the other hand, this shows that George is becoming more and more mature.

George was not so patient when dealing with Ljungberg. Kicked Ljungberg directly into the youth team.

"With your personality, it is impossible for any strong team to let you be the main force. Of course, with your talent and strength, you can still play the main force in some small teams. But I don't know what your goal is in some small teams." Get the main position in a small club, or do you want to prove your strength in a strong team? "

"Finally I can repeat what I said. Whether it is Ferguson, Wenger or Houllier, none of them will let a player who does not obey the team discipline become the main player."

After hearing George's words, Bellamy, who looked arrogant just now, became solemn.

Bellamy has a very bad character, and most of it is because Bellamy is very conceited about his own strength. In other words, he is very conceited about his talent, which is why he is so arrogant.

In Bellamy's opinion, with his own strength, he should be the main player in any club.

But after hearing George's words, Bellamy hesitated.

Become the main player in a small club? Or prove yourself on a strong team?

"Craig, you can go and think about it. If you have figured it out, you can come to me. You are welcome to come here at any time. And even if you want to leave, I won't stop you. But I hope that no matter where you end up, Club, don’t forget what I said.”

"You have outstanding talent. As long as you are willing to integrate into the team, your achievements will definitely exceed your own imagination. Therefore, even if you go to any club, keep in mind what I say below."

"No one in the world can decide the game alone. Not Pele, not Maradona, not Ronaldo, not Zidane. Whoever can integrate into the team and help the team will achieve the best score."

Bellamy's face gradually relaxed as he listened to George's words.

In any case, it was George who brought him from the English League One to the Premier League. Now George is teaching so sincerely. This made Bellamy's arrogant look disappear from his face.

"Okay. Craig, whether you decide to stay or leave, I respect your thoughts. Go back and think about it."

After sending Bellamy away, George agreed to all transfer requests from Zauri and Romedal. As long as the price is right, George will not stand in his way. However, the transfer fee was too small and George refused to agree.

Although both of them are substitute players, they are, after all, substitutes for the second-placed team in the Premier League and the UEFA Cup winner. George couldn't just let them go at a bargain price.

But after letting go of these substitutes, a few players must be bought to fill their holes. George kept counting in his mind, who should be better to buy. But before George was ready, another unexpected news reached George's ears.

"They must have water in their heads. How could they find our club?"
