Chapter 58 Building the Future (Part 2)

George went straight to Uruguay with a resentful Evan Sawyer.

"Evan, don't sigh. You think I'm willing to bring you here. If we have someone in Burnley who can speak Spanish, I won't want to bring you. It's better to be a beautiful lady, that's not better. " George said with a smile as he saw Evan Sawyer complaining about himself since he took the plane.

Evan Sawyer curled his lips and sighed.

"George, although there is no one in our club who can speak Spanish. But if you just throw some money around, there are still people who are willing to do this job. If you don't give me a salary increase, why do you let me come with you?"

"Okay, Evan. Look, you can still travel to Uruguay for free. Do I want travel expenses from you?" George smiled slightly.

Speaking of which, Uruguay is a good place for tourism. Most of the territory is flat and agriculture and animal husbandry are developed. Uruguay is known as the "Switzerland of South America" ​​due to its beautiful natural scenery and stable social environment. Because of its gem-like shape and abundance of amethyst, it is known as the "Land of Diamonds".

Moreover, Uruguay is located between Brazil and Argentina and is also a traditional football power. Having won the World Cup twice in history, this time George is trying to find a future star in the Uruguay First Division.

…………

Montevideo is truly one of the most beautiful cities in South America. The city has beautiful scenery, clean streets and green trees. Walking down the street with green trees and blooming flowers makes people feel good.

"Evan, you can't see this kind of scenery in England. How about, you won't suffer at all if you come out with me." George felt the fresh air of Montevideo and talked to Evan.

Evan nodded. "Montevideo is truly the "City of Roses", it's so beautiful."

Montevideo is the capital of Uruguay and the largest city in the country. It is located at the mouth of the Rio de la Plata, about 190 kilometers away from Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina, on the other side of the river.

The original meaning of "Montevideo" is "I saw the mountains" in Portuguese. MONTE means "mountain" and VIDEO means "I saw Montevideo". It is said that when the Portuguese expedition first arrived here in the 17th century, a sailor discovered a hill with an altitude of only 139 meters in the northwest of the old city and exclaimed: "I see a mountain." This is how the city got its name.

Of course, the above is just a folk saying and is not recognized by the academic community. But Montevideo is indeed very beautiful. If it weren't for something else, George would really like to take a good stroll around Montevideo.

After all, there is also the prestigious Prado Park here. The Prado Park is the oldest and most famous park in the city. There are more than 800 kinds of roses planted in the park, giving this city the nickname "City of Roses".

With Evan Sawyer, a man who knew Spanish well, it was easy for George and Evan Sawyer to find Montevideo Wanderers Club.

As the center of world football, especially money, becomes more and more influential in football, domestic leagues in Brazil and Argentina have become bases for training players. Many Brazilian and Argentinian football clubs repeat the same model, training players and then selling them to Europe.

And Uruguay, sandwiched between them, has a very developed football industry. Uruguayan football clubs' active export of players not only solves economic problems and enables football to feed more people; it also accelerates the growth of talents, allowing more athletes to be useful. In addition, through training abroad, many Uruguay players have become world-class stars. Once their homeland calls, they

They can immediately enter the national team and contribute to the country.

An active football market promotes the development of the football economy, which in turn creates more and better football talents. This is how Uruguayan football develops healthily.

Of course it sounds nice, but in other words it means the same thing. These teams in South America cannot retain players. After they have trained the players, they wait for European teams to come over and make offers.

"Camoranesi, oops. Mr. Levy, Camoranesi is a very important player for our club. We have never thought of selling him." Hearing that the European club had come here, Perez was excited when he heard The name of the player George wanted to buy immediately withered.

The Rangers Club has many good players, but Camoranesi is not the most important. Compared with the value of big-name stars in Argentina and Brazil, the players produced in Uruguay are much cheaper. Camoranesi even more so.

But thinking that the one in front of him came from England, Perez still wanted to raise the price.

"Mr. Perez, we already know everything since we came here. I hope we can complete a successful transaction. If it succeeds, we will have another opportunity to cooperate. What do you think?" George said slightly With a smile, Perez's lie was exposed on the spot.

Hearing George's straightforward words, Perez lowered his head in embarrassment.

Looking at Perez's performance, George sighed slightly in his heart. No wonder players sold in the Uruguayan League are generally cheap, look at Perez's current performance. George just said a word, and Perez felt embarrassed. The businessmen George had met were all shameless, but no one could be so thin-skinned.

"Mr. Perez, I'm willing to buy Camoranesi for half a million dollars."

"Fifty thousand dollars, no, no, no, no." Perez shook his head repeatedly. "Mr. Levi, this price is too cheap. Can you add more."

George thought about it, as if it was difficult to make a decision. "Let me add another 100,000. 600,000 US dollars, which is already a very high price for a young player like Camoranesi. South America is not short of talent the least, and 600,000 US dollars can find a very good player."

"Okay, 600,000 US dollars." Perez gritted his teeth and agreed to George. But Perez was very happy in his heart. Banfield Club came to contact him some time ago. At that time, they were only willing to pay 400,000 US dollars, and this time they made 200,000 US dollars.

Perez was very happy and began to recommend other players in the club to George. However, George was only interested in Camoranesi, so he declined Perez, which made Perez very disappointed.

After getting Perez, George met Camoranesi, the main right winger when Italy won the World Cup in the future. Camoranesi was only 21 years old at this time, very young.

He didn't have any right to choose. Hearing that it was a club from England, he agreed without saying a few words.

Camoranesi, who was only 21 years old, had a small braid and a bun, which was very individual.

"Camoranesi, you should know that we must have a work permit to play in England. However, you do not meet the requirements for a work permit, but I know that your parents are Italian and can easily apply for Italian citizenship. I hope you can apply for Italian citizenship, so that you do not need a work permit." George chose Camoranesi precisely because he knew that Camoranesi had Italian citizenship.

"With Italian citizenship, it is not only convenient in England. It will be very convenient to play in clubs throughout Europe, because many countries have many restrictions on non-EU foreign players."

Camoranesi nodded. "I understand."

George looked at Camoranesi in front of him, and a sense of pride rose in his heart. With Ljungberg and Camoranesi, Burnley's wing is completely alive. With Ballack in the middle, Burnley's current midfield is no less than some mid- and lower-level Premier League teams.

When Ballack, Ljungberg, and Camoranesi are all mature, even if they play against Premier League powerhouses, they will not be at a disadvantage.

What is the upgrade? Burnley will definitely get better and better in the future. The last piece of Burnley in George's mind was completely completed with the joining of Camoranesi.
