Coaching legend

When he came back, George had not recovered from the shock just now.

I really didn't expect it. Daniel actually became the chairman of Tottenham Hotspur Club, which was too unexpected.

George knew that the happiest person now must be Allen. Allen has recruited a large number of players in Blackburn with George's presence. Including Klose, Drogba, Deco, Cudicini, and Hleb, who was just introduced by George with a special talent clause.

Of course, in addition to them, there is also Essien, who was loaned to the French Ligue 1 by George, who are all players under Allen.

Now that Daniel has become the chairman of Tottenham Hotspur, I believe that Allen will soon reach out to Tottenham Hotspur Club. However, Allen makes money, which means George makes money. Anyway, George himself did not take kickbacks in the transfer, so he did not have any burden in his heart.

But what he is going to do now is a bit unkind.

I didn't know that there was nothing before, but now Daniel is about to become the chairman of Tottenham Hotspur. Now I feel sorry for Daniel no matter how I think about digging into Tottenham Hotspur's corners. But if I don't dig, I feel sorry for myself.

…………

"Sol, Mr. Andrew."

George and Evan were waiting quietly in the bar. This is a relatively closed coffee shop, but what is London? London is the capital of the United Kingdom, a metropolis that ranks among the best in Europe and even the world.

There are countless football clubs here. There are more than a dozen professional clubs that can be named.

Therefore, the news media here is also very developed. George doesn't want any media to disturb him.

The person George is waiting for is a very famous player in the English football world. Of course, even in the European football world, he is a well-known defender. Of course, there are many good defenders in the current world football world. But there are not many players whose contracts are about to expire and have not renewed their contracts with their original clubs.

In other words, according to the Bosman Act, this player can transfer freely.

He is Sol Campbell, the current captain of Tottenham Hotspur. Before George went to London to play this time, he had already spoken to Campbell's agent Andrew on the phone. At that time, George didn't know that Daniel would become the chairman of Tottenham.

Now that I know, I always feel embarrassed.

Daniel had just become the club chairman, and George was going to poach their captain for free.

Campbell was not late for a minute or a second, and arrived at the agreed place on time.

"Coach Levy."

Although George did not say it, Campbell certainly knew why George found him.

Campbell is currently the main central defender of the England national team. He has been a main player in Tottenham since the 93-94 season. Campbell has been a main player in Tottenham for the eighth season. But Tottenham's performance has been getting worse and worse in recent years, and they can only win the League Cup, which is a tasteless championship.

This makes the ambitious Campbell very dissatisfied.

Campbell's age is not big, but he is not young. He is already 26 years old this year and will be 27 next year. If he signs again now, all his peak periods will be in this contract.

So Campbell has been dragging it out, wanting to see Tottenham's results.

But Tottenham's performance this season is even worse. Currently ranked 13th in the Premier League, let alone the championship, even the UEFA Cup quota is not available. Such a team has gradually made Campbell lose confidence.

Campbell hopes to win some significant championships during his peak period.

So he has not renewed his contract, and now it is almost January. Tottenham already knows that they can't keep Campbell. They have completely lost control of Campbell's future.

The European football giants who have been watching Campbell's contract renewal immediately set their sights on him. George believes that Campbell's agent Andrew has received calls from many European football giants. George is one of them.

Speaking of these giants, there are Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Inter Milan, and even in England there are teams such as Manchester United, Arsenal, and Liverpool.

In fact, Blackburn has no advantage over them.

But George still has some confidence.

First of all, there are still a few English players who challenge foreign leagues. Or in other words, English players rarely succeed in foreign leagues. So few English players are willing to venture into foreign leagues.

From this point of view, Blackburn, as a domestic team in England, has already occupied an advantage.

And now in England, Arsenal and Liverpool are the most interested in Campbell. Manchester United is not very active. Of course, Arsenal is silent, and no news has appeared yet. But George knows that Wenger must have contacted Campbell.

The team that has the most frequent contact with Campbell and the most gossip is Houllier's Liverpool. Houllier has mentioned Campbell in front of the media many times.

So George's main opponents are Arsenal and Liverpool.

Although Liverpool has shown signs of recovery recently, its performance is still far inferior to Manchester United, Arsenal and Blackburn. So George's biggest opponent is still Arsenal.

"Sol, we have played against each other several times."

George first talked about some games with Andrew and Campbell. Slowly, he got into the topic of today.

"Sol, I heard that Wenger has also contacted you."

As soon as George finished speaking, Campbell and Andrew's faces changed. This cannot be said casually, although they did have contact with Arsenal. But this was done very carefully. Just like doing underground work, it was a one-on-one contact, and they dared not be careless at all. Why?

Campbell is still a Tottenham player. If it is said that Campbell has an affair with Arsenal at this time, Campbell will be finished. Not to mention Tottenham fans, even those Tottenham players will target him. Maybe there will be radical fans who will attack Campbell's residence.

"Coach Levy, who did you hear that from?"

George shook his head. "I have my own channels. But don't worry, this matter is known to you, me and God, and I will definitely keep it to myself."

"But I think Sol, you can think about it carefully. The purpose of your transfer to Arsenal is to win the championship, and we are no worse than Blackburn in this regard. In my first season as coach, Blackburn ranked fourth, ranked second in the second season, and now we are at the top of the Premier League. We are also the strongest contender for the Premier League championship."

"I believe you should know how strong our team is. And you should also understand the age structure of our team. The next two or three years will be the time for Blackburn to achieve results. If you join, then our strength will be stronger. By then, the Premier League and Champions League titles will not be impossible."

"In terms of first-team strength, we are not weaker than Arsenal. In terms of bench depth, Arsenal is definitely not our opponent."

Campbell listened to George very seriously.

"Also, if you transfer to Arsenal, you should be able to imagine the reaction of Tottenham fans."

The last sentence still touched Campbell's heart. Among many choices, Campbell is indeed the most optimistic about Arsenal's conditions. He has the ability to win the championship and does not have to leave England. But as George said, Campbell has a lot of concerns about transferring to Arsenal.

After all, Campbell is a player trained by Tottenham.

"Sol, as for the treatment that Arsenal can give you, we Blackburn can give you a penny less."

Players who transfer freely like Campbell are generally given high wages or high signing fees. Anyway, a certain amount of money is taken out of the transfer fee to give to the player himself.

With Campbell's ability, if he has a contract, he can't get it even if it is 20 million pounds. According to the inflated prices of players in recent years, Campbell's value is not outrageous even if it reaches 30 million pounds. Now that he can be introduced for free, taking out 10 million pounds of it as a reward for Campbell, it is not a loss for the new club.

Although Blackburn is not as famous as Arsenal and Liverpool, the current Blackburn fully meets Campbell's selection criteria.

Blackburn is an English club, and Campbell does not need to go abroad.

Campbell wants honor, and Blackburn is fully capable of winning the championship. Last season, they won the League Cup and this season they have a great chance of winning the Premier League.

Campbell wants money, but Blackburn doesn't lack money. Blackburn has not been short of money since Jack Walker took over.

"Coach Levy, your conditions are very attractive. But I need to think about it carefully."

Campbell nodded and replied.

"Saul, don't make a decision so quickly. I will use the results to tell you the strength of our club. In the remaining games, you can observe Blackburn. Is Blackburn more capable of giving you honor, or are other clubs more likely to have more opportunities."

George only had a preliminary contact with Campbell today. As long as Campbell leaves a corner in his heart, George believes that Campbell will definitely choose Blackburn at the end of this season.

Campbell, this is a great deal.

Once Campbell is taken, the strength of Blackburn's defense will immediately rise to a higher level.

Speaking of which, Campbell is definitely one of the best central defenders in European football. Blanco is old, and even when he was young, he was not necessarily better than Campbell. With the partnership of Campbell and Ferdinand, Blackburn's defense line can be used for several years.

Then the two sides began to talk about other things.

George can talk about everything. The meeting between the two sides was relatively friendly. This is just the first contact, and George will continue to communicate with this Andrew in the future. George will never allow Campbell to go to other clubs.

"George, do you think it's possible?" Evan looked at Campbell who was leaving and asked George.

"Of course. As long as we win the Premier League this season, I believe Campbell will definitely choose our club. What Arsenal can give, we Blackburn can give. And what Arsenal can't give, we Blackburn can satisfy."
