Chapter 55 Burnley's future captain (Part 1)

After winning against Port Vale and Birmingham, George's depression was half relieved.

Sometimes George would wonder if he was a bad guy. Seeing that Port Vale and Birmingham could not be promoted, he felt a kind of happiness in his heart. Someone was unlucky with his team. Is this feeling of happiness too dark?

The next two games were the same as Burnley, a team that had almost no desire in the English League One.

George sent some ordinary substitutes so that they could also have the opportunity to play. These days, George's mind is no longer on the remaining games.

This season, due to an accident, they lost the opportunity to be promoted to the Premier League. This makes George feel heartbroken every time he thinks of it, so George will lead Burnley to the Super League next season no matter what.

For this goal, George's first thing to do is to retain the main lineup.

Fortunately, although Burnley performed well at the beginning of the season, its subsequent performance can only be described as terrible. Therefore, George's most valued Ballack and Ljungberg are not paid attention to by any Premier League team. Although some English League One teams have tried, they really don't have much advantage over Burnley now.

This made George feel relieved, especially Yongberg. What George feared most was that Yongberg would be noticed by some Premier League teams. With Yongberg's personality, he would definitely not want to be relegated to the second-tier league in England.

If Burnley is promoted to the Premier League, George is confident that he can keep Yongberg. But George is not sure about Burnley's current situation.

At this time, George was a little lucky that Burnley's performance was not good during this period, and there was still such an effect.

…………

"George, take a look at this offer." George has been thinking about how to improve the team's lineup during this period, and he has already had some goals. These were all handed over to Evan Sawyer, but he didn't expect to wait for Evan Sawyer's wry smile.

George had told Evan Sawyer a long time ago that Burnley would not sell the main players this summer. Why did Evan Sawyer bother him with this little thing?

George took Evan Sawyer's offer sheet in confusion, and was stunned after just one glance.

This is really too big, it turned out to be a quotation sheet from Manchester United. The offer of 1.7 million pounds for Daniel Morrison is a very high price for Daniel.

In football, offensive players have always been expensive, while defensive players are cheap. This situation was the same until the beginning of the 21st century. At the end, excellent midfielders and defenders became increasingly scarce, and the price went up.

Although George said in front of reporters that Daniel is the future left-winger of England. But Daniel is really not worth 1.7 million pounds now. Manchester United's offer is quite sincere.

But George couldn't be happy. Daniel was trained by George. He was born and raised in Burnley, and he was the flagship player of Burnley in George's mind. Ferguson, you bastard, you obviously have a famous player like Dennis Irwin in the back line, but you still come to poach your own people.

"Have you met Daniel?" Manchester United, what kind of team is this? It is the undisputed overlord of the Premier League and recognized as the best team in the Premier League.

Manchester United and Burnley are like teams in heaven and earth. Whether it is the historical record or the current results, Burnley has no power to resist Manchester United. Although Daniel was trained by himself, George has no idea what Daniel will think.

Changing identities, even if George is in Daniel's position, it is impossible to refuse Manchester United. Not to mention the players, if Manchester United invites George to coach now, it will be difficult for George to refuse.

Evan Sawyer shook his head. "I haven't asked Daniel yet, I think it's better for you to talk to him in person."

George couldn't help rubbing his temples, and then looked up at Evan Sawyer. "Let's not talk about Daniel, how are the contacts with several players going."

"Matthew Holland has no problem, Bournemouth is still in the second division. But Matthew Holland's price should not be too low, and his performance in Bournemouth is quite good. It costs about 500,000 pounds."

"500,000 pounds?" George frowned, damn. Why are the prices of these players so high now, 500,000 pounds. Last year, you could buy a very good player in the first division, but now a midfielder in the second division has 500,000 pounds.

"Okay, about the same. What about the others?"

Evan Sawyer smiled when he saw George's expression. The current players' values ​​are rising with the overall situation.

"We have contacted Jasklainen. His value is not high, and it should not exceed 100,000 pounds. But Bolton is also in contact with him, and he is still considering it. I am waiting for your reply."

"Bolton, come on." Bolton became the first in the English League One this year and has successfully entered the Premier League. In terms of attractiveness, Bolton, a former Premier League team, is more attractive. But George is not afraid of Bolton's competition at all. "Tell Jasklainen that Bolton bought him to find a substitute. I bought him to be the main player. Let him choose whether to be Bolton's substitute goalkeeper or to be my main player."

"By the way, don't forget to tell him. Our club will definitely be promoted this year, and he will play in the Premier League next year."

Miller is already 34 years old this year, and his reaction and physical condition are not as good as before. Apart from experience, it is difficult for him to be qualified for the goalkeeper position required by George. Therefore, George thought of many people, of course, there are many super goalkeepers in the future.

Kahn, Buffon, Casillas, Cech, Reina, Adler, but these people are either some children or people who can't be dug out at all.

So George thought of the three most outstanding goalkeepers mentioned by Allardyce when he evaluated the goalkeepers in the Premier League. Van der Sar, Cech and Jaskelainen. Jaskelainen later played in Bolton, and his state has been quite stable, with a strong sense of position, accurate judgment of crosses, and rarely lost his hands. His reaction speed is amazing. In the league, he has repeatedly performed the good show of lifting the opponent's powerful headers close to the crossbar and continuously saving the opponent's shots.

But what George likes more is that Jaskelainen has always stayed in the small club of Bolton and has never moved to another club. He is very low-key, and George likes this kind of player very much.

Jaskelainen is now in the Finnish league, and the club can't stop him as long as they throw some money at him.

"George, what about Miller... You don't really want Jaskelainen to be the main player, do you?" Evan Sawyer asked George. Miller is different from many veterans that George cleared out in the first year. He is a very influential player for Burnley.

George nodded. "I will talk to Miller, I believe he can understand. Keep talking."

"Robbie Keane, I have learned about it. Many Premier League teams are interested in him, but I am not qualified enough." Evan Sawyer blamed George a little. Robbie Keane has even been invited by Liverpool. How could such a player come to Burnley.

"Keane, leave it to me. I will go and talk to him in person."

With the departure of Richard Brodie, George had to buy a player to fill his position. The player George found was Robbie Keane, who was later known as "Irish Owen". With strong explosive power and sharp shooting sense, if it is matched with Klose and Kevin Phillips, the power of the forward line will definitely be the best in the English League.

However, Robbie Keane is different from Klose and Kevin Phillips. He has shown amazing talent since he was a child. Many teams have already been eyeing this young talented striker.

But George knows that Robbie Keane has rejected Liverpool in history. Just to play more games, he joined the English League One team Wolves. It is not easy to compare with the Premier League teams, but George believes that Burnley is more attractive than Wolves, which is also in the English League.

"By the way, Evan. Do you speak Spanish?" George can speak many languages.

When I lived in China before, because I grew up in the northeast. So the second foreign language I learned was Russian. When I graduated from university, Russian was already at the point where I could have a conversation. Therefore, George is quite fluent in Chinese and Russian.

After arriving in England, George also put a lot of effort into languages. George is quite familiar with English, French, and German, but the only thing he has not learned is Spanish.

Evan Sawyer nodded. "It's OK. As long as it's not professional stuff, there won't be any problems."

"Okay, Evan. Finish those things quickly and go to Uruguay with me."
