Coaching legend

Looking at the offers one after another, George's head hurts badly.

These bastards really treat Blackburn as a club that can be manipulated at will. After all, we are also a Champions League champion club, and our club is not short of money at the moment. Now the World Cup has not ended yet, and many players cannot be contacted.

As a result, matters including Pires and Makelele have been delayed. George has to hear their replies before he can make a decision.

Only Ferdinand came back the earliest.

However, George did not see Ferdinand himself, but saw his agent.

Although his agent did not make a clear statement, George has already smelled something unusual. It seems that Ferdinand is not very resistant to transferring to Manchester United, or is ready to transfer to Manchester United. This makes George very angry.

Historically, Ferdinand left Leeds United because Leeds United lacked money and honor. At that time, Leeds United had already entered financial difficulties, and Leeds United's performance was not very good. In addition, Manchester United was the well-deserved overlord in the Premier League at that time.

Arsenal is the only team that can have some impact on Manchester United's hegemony. Therefore, Ferdinand's transfer to Manchester United is understandable.

But now it is obvious that the situation is different. Blackburn is not short of money or honors. Blackburn and Arsenal have been attacking Manchester United in turn in the past few seasons. In the past five seasons, Manchester United has only won one Premier League championship. Of course, Manchester United has also won the glory of the Champions League.

But it is obvious. Blackburn has been very strong in the past two seasons. Winning the Premier League and the Champions League, Blackburn has achieved quite good results. Even if he stays in Blackburn, he can still win honors.

But seeing the attitude of Ferdinand's agent, George is a little desperate.

Is the so-called rich really so charming?

Fuck the rich, I hate the rich. Shit rich. It's just that your ancestors were rich, what's so great about it.

Just when George was sulking, Ferguson called George. George was furious when he saw that it was Ferguson's call. Damn it, you old man, why don't you retire yet? I'm so angry.

When he answered the phone, although he didn't say anything bad, his tone was not good.

However, Ferguson seemed not to hear George's bad tone, and he spoke with full energy, and there was no difference from usual. "George, if you are not satisfied with our offer, we can discuss it. We are so familiar with each other, just give me a straight answer."

Although Ferdinand's agent's meaning was very simple. Either significantly increase Ferdinand's salary, preferably the same as Campbell's. Or let Ferdinand leave.

George certainly did not agree with Ferdinand's conditions. Campbell came on a free transfer, and his weekly salary at the time was 70,000 pounds. Ferdinand wanted 70,000 pounds, so what about Klose, the top striker of Blackburn?

What about Miku, the core of Blackburn's frontcourt? What about Pires, the winger?

Who of them contributed less than Ferdinand. It can even be said that the wages of Miku, Pires and Klose should be higher than Ferdinand. Then Blackburn's wage system will collapse. So George did not negotiate on the issue of wages.

George can increase Ferdinand's wages appropriately, but rude requests are firmly rejected.

Therefore, it seems that transfer is the only way out.

But George directly rejected Manchester United's first offer of 18 million pounds. Ferguson looked down on Blackburn too much and really thought Blackburn was begging for food. If the talks failed, George really didn't mind keeping Ferdinand in the club for three years.

Anyway, Ferdinand and Blackburn still have three years of contract.

And Manchester United's offer was also very fast. The second time it was directly 23 million pounds. But George still rejected it without even looking at it. Historically, Manchester United spent 30 million pounds to buy Ferdinand. Now Ferdinand is the main central defender of two Premier League champions and one Champions League champion.

George would never agree to less than 30 million pounds.

No, Manchester United did not make a third offer. Instead, Ferguson called George directly.

"Coach Ferguson, since we have come to this point, I will not hide it. First of all, you have to know that I spent 12 million pounds to buy Leo. Leo's current strength alone is worth 20 million pounds. Moreover, Leo has won two league titles and one Champions League title with the team in the past two years. He is experienced and has seen big scenes. This should be worth a lot of money."

George suddenly became a businessman.

Ferguson is a generous man. To do business in European football at this time, you should do business with three clubs. One is Real Madrid, one is Inter Milan, and the remaining one is the current Manchester United.

"Another thing, although this reason is unfair, it is the fact. You and I are both head coaches in English football, and we should understand that household registration books are also money. Leo is the main central defender of the England national team. Add up these factors, you can calculate how much Leo is worth."

George calculated one by one, making Ferguson on the other end of the phone smile helplessly.

This does not look like a young coach rising in European football. Just like a small vendor. Finally, Ferguson was really impatient with George's nagging.

"Okay, George. Just tell me, how much do you want?"

Ferguson certainly knew Ferdinand's value. Otherwise, how could it be possible that the first offer was 18 million pounds.

"Coach Ferguson, if your offer is less than 30 million, then we don't need to talk."

Even though Ferguson had gone through countless storms, he secretly cursed George as a vampire when he heard George's words. In today's European football, how many defenders dare to bid more than 30 million pounds. George is really bold.

But fortunately, Ferguson had already prepared himself mentally.

"George, I understand what you mean."

After saying some off-topic words, Ferguson hung up the phone. George shook his head, it seems that Ferdinand really can't be saved.

Sure enough, Manchester United's offer arrived the next day, 34 million pounds.

George saw that Ferguson was right. If Ferguson only offered 30 million pounds, George would definitely fight back. 34 million pounds, this is the defender's value that created a world football record.

But George still felt a little sorry.

Ferdinand, in a few months, will only be 24 years old. As a central defender, he has not even reached his peak. If he stays in Blackburn, he will definitely be the backbone of Blackburn for the next ten years.

What a pity, what a pity.

Now Ferdinand is not in front, otherwise George really wants to ask, why? What's so good about Manchester United.

Has Manchester United won the league championship in the past two years? Has Manchester United had the upper hand in the past two years against Blackburn? Can Manchester United's performance in the past two years be compared with Blackburn?

Why do you have to leave Blackburn.

But it seems that there is no possibility. Ferdinand has never returned to Blackburn at all, and all things are handled by his agent.

George did not embarrass him at this time. He directly agreed to Manchester United's offer with a big stroke of the pen.

…………

Manchester United did not announce the news of Ferdinand's transfer soon.

George estimated that Ferguson should announce the news after the World Cup. Just avoiding the World Cup can achieve a certain sensational effect. Manchester United's performance in the past two years has been too sluggish. It is estimated that Ferguson wants to use such a signing to rebuild confidence.

The World Cup continues.

However, at this time, the European media was not paying attention to the World Cup final that was about to take place.

Instead, they were all denouncing the darkness of the Korea-Japan World Cup. In particular, Korea eliminated Italy and then France in succession. And the wins were not glorious, and all European media were denouncing them.

Among the European teams in this World Cup, the two teams with the most hope of winning the World Cup championship are France and Italy. Unexpectedly, the two teams were eliminated so cowardly. How could they not be angry.

But this has nothing to do with George.

Although Korea won the World Cup semi-finals in a very inglorious way, they made football popular in their country with this semi-final. After this inglorious semi-final, Korean football developed rapidly. Soon, together with Japan, it became the football hegemon of the entire Asia.

Even Iran and Saudi Arabia, the two football powers in West Asia that competed with East Asian football in the past, had no power to compete with Japan and Korea.

The final of the Korea-Japan World Cup is no different from history. Germany and Brazil.

Germany's entry into the World Cup final was absolutely beyond everyone's expectations. The reason why they were able to enter the finals, apart from not encountering many strong teams, was because of the abilities of Kahn, Ballack and Klose.

Ballack, as the core of the midfield, scored three goals, and all of them were golden goals. Most importantly, Ballack's dispatch in the midfield was a master-level performance. And Klose, as the German striker, scored seven goals before the final. Five goals in the group stage and two goals in the knockout stage.

Ballack was not suspended in the World Cup final.

It was a very good game. George watched the live broadcast throughout the whole process. The German team was really very tough. The strength was lower than that of Brazil, but it posed enough threat to Brazil. Klose even received a 45-degree pass from Ballack in the World Cup final and broke through the Brazilian goal.

Unfortunately, Brazil was still better. Ronaldo scored twice in the final, and Brazil finally defeated Germany 2-1 and won the fifth World Cup championship.

George watched this World Cup final quite well.

But George's favorite was Klose's performance. In his first World Cup, Klose scored eight goals and won the World Cup Golden Boot with Ronaldo. Also, Deco won the World Cup as a main player for Brazil.

Scolari thinks highly of Deco. The Brazilian midfield is a combination of Gilberto and Deco, and the front is the famous 3R. Deco is actually responsible for the rhythm of the Brazilian national team.

George shook his head. I don't know what kind of salary conditions Allen will propose for Klose and Deco.

Soon George did receive a call from Allen. But after hearing the first sentence, George couldn't help but say: Alpaca.
