Coaching legend

Chapter 3 Germany

"Karl, are you surprised?" George stood directing the training of the youth team and turned to ask Karl Pat. Karl Pat is only 31 years old this year and entered the club only two years earlier than George. But he is George's assistant in the youth team.

George has been at Burnley for more than five years and has always looked down upon the coaches in the club. They inherited many of the shortcomings of English footballers, including arrogance, arrogance, seniority, conservative techniques and tactics, and failure to absorb good advice. But Karl Pat is different. Although Karl Pat is young, he has unparalleled training ability. George agrees very much with this. The youth team has achieved remarkable results in the past two years. The bigger reason is that George is more willing to believe in Karl Pat's training ability than George's training. As long as George thinks of something, Karl Pat can deploy all training according to George's wishes.

Carl smiled and shook his head when he heard George's words. "No, I have known for a long time that your place does not belong here. You should be at Turf Moor, that is your stage."

"Thank you, Karl. I hope you will come to the first team to help me in the future. I can't command Thompson, and you know he has always disliked me." George patted Karl's shoulder and offered sincerely. own invitation.

Karl Pat shrugged and blinked. "George, what do you think I will choose?"

"Okay, Karl. Our stage is about to open. The English Second Division is not our stage. We want to go to the damn English Premier League." Seeing Karl's expression, George suddenly became proud. born. When Burnley returns to the Premier League, Manchester United, Arsenal, and Liverpool will all be opponents and will be defeated by me.

There for a moment, George returned to reality. No matter how great the ideal is, Burnley is still only a team in England's second division. "Karl, you don't have such leisure time now. Leave the youth team matters to Wilkinson. You have to start getting busy. You take a look at this first. Mr. Kilby hopes that before the end of the league, he will discuss the head coach's matters. Being able to keep it secret. The only person I trust most in the club is you.”

"Darren Huckabee, Lincoln City. Gary Breen, Gillingham. George, what are you?" Karl Pat looked at George very confused, not understanding what George meant by giving him this note.

George chuckled: "Help me get in touch with them. I want them to be on my team next season. I have been observing these two for a long time." George has indeed been observing these two for a long time. George has spent a lot of time in recent years, and has almost paid for all the team files in English League Three, English League Two, and even English League One in George's home.

Both of them will become Premier League players in the future, and Darren Huckaby almost entered the England national team. And Darren Huckabee is now relatively well-known in the C-League. Already, teams have expressed interest in him, notably Newcastle United. However, they have not yet had any substantial contact. As a relegated team from the First Division, Burnley should be attractive enough to Huckabee.

Gary Breen is also a Premier League general, although he has been playing in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League. But he is also the main central defender of the Irish national team, especially his performance in the 2002 World Cup in South Korea and Japan was like a miracle. At that time, Ireland first eliminated the Netherlands in the World Cup qualifiers and then entered the World Cup through the play-offs. In a group with Germany, Cameroon and Saudi Arabia, it defeated Cameroon and qualified as second in the group. Cameroon's lineup was at its peak in the 2002 World Cup in Korea and Japan. You must know that at that time, Cameroon had a large number of famous players such as Eto'o, Mboma, and Laurent. However, in the end, they were eliminated by Ireland due to a goal difference disadvantage. Gary Breen was the main central defender of the Irish national team at that time, so George has been paying attention to his development in the past few years.

Now these two, Darren Huckabee, is only nineteen years old and has been playing in England's third division. Gary Breen is 21 years old and has also been playing in the C-League. As a second-division team relegated from the first-division league, their appeal must not be a problem. And their prices aren’t very high either.

"So what are you going to do? Wouldn't it be better for you to go in person?" Carl Pat put the note George gave him into his pocket and asked George casually.

George stretched his arms, looked into the distance, and said leisurely: "I'm going to introduce a core player for my ideal team."

…………

"There are a lot of fans here in Kemnitz. There are so many fans during the youth team training." George said to himself there alone. George had always thought that only the English fans were the craziest. I didn't expect the same for German fans. Kemnitz is a team in the German second league. That is, the Bundesliga 2, a team belonging to East Germany.

Speaking of Kemnitz, many people are very unfamiliar with it, but Kemnitz once had a very famous name, called Karl Marx City. Following the fall of the Berlin Wall, East German teams merged into the West German league. It's a pity that after the East German team entered the new league, their performance was surprisingly poor. Kemnitz has also been relegated year after year in the Bundesliga 2. It can be said to be a very weak team among German football clubs.

It is such a weak team, but there are so many fans on the training ground of the youth team. This surprised Chu Tian. "You are from out of town. I think the scene back then was much more popular than it is now. It's a pity that the East German team was beaten by the West German team in the Bundesliga. East German football is really in decline now, otherwise the fans would be more Now there’s more.”

"Do you know English?" George said to himself, but he didn't expect that the young man sitting next to him could actually understand English.

"I'm British, but I just studied in Germany. Are you a scout, or... Why would you pay attention to a small team like Kemnitz?" The young man seemed to have a very cheerful personality, which is not the case in England. Very common.

George shrugged and said with a smile: "Then tell me, recommend someone to me."

"Looking at the fact that we are the same country and we are destined to be together, I will tell you this quietly. You saw the big man there, that's him. You won't regret choosing him. Look at his feet, and then look at Look at his header." The young man was dancing and introducing to George.

"Don't I think he's good? You see, his technique is rough and his speed is average. It's just that his physical condition is better, he is a big stupid guy. I can find a dozen such players just by looking at the lower leagues in England. "George waved his hand and answered nonchalantly.

The young man's eyes widened, he pointed at Chu Tian, ​​and then shook his head. "It seems that he is another person who doesn't understand anything. The same is true for the coach here in Kemnitz. How can he be allowed to play on the wing? No wonder East German football has declined. Good coaches have gone to West Germany to make money. Stay. They are all stubborn and inadequate coaches. It’s a pity that no one appreciates people like me.”

George saw the young man pitying himself there, and suddenly became more interested in him. "My name is George Levy, and you are... If you have a choice, you let the big man play that position."

"My name is Evan Sawyer. If I choose, of course I will let him be the forward. You can see that he is a good header and his legs are strong. It is quite good to be a center." Evan Sawyer just said these words, George's interest dropped by half. However, what Evan Sawyer said next greatly increased George's interest in Evan Sawyer. "Of course, this is just the idea of ​​an ordinary coach. Anyway, in a low-level league like the Second Division, a big man like that is still very powerful. But of course I am not one of those mortals. If I would choose that big man to be the core of the midfield . As long as he starts cultivating properly now, his future is limitless.”

When George heard Evan's words, he patted Evan's shoulder vigorously and shouted excitedly: "Yes, that's it. He is a natural midfield leader." George's pat frightened Evan. One jump.

"You think so too?"

"Of course, his name is Michael Ballack, a future world star. It's for him that I came to Kemnitz today."
