138 He is not Zidane (II)
Speaking of Anderson Deco, George's attention to him is not a day or two. When George was at Burnley, he was already preparing to buy Deco.
Unfortunately, Deco was unable to get a labor certification at that time, so George was not able to bring in directly. But George had already sent someone to contact Deco and ask Deco to apply for Portuguese citizenship. Born in Argentina to Italian parents, Camoranesi did not have much difficulty applying for Italian citizenship.
But Deco is different, his parents are Brazilian.
Thankfully, Brazil was once a Portuguese colony. The majority of Brazil's whites, up to the top, were once Portuguese. The same goes for Deco, where it's easy to find Portuguese ancestors by counting up. So George was already in contact with Deco during the winter months and then helped Deco apply for Portuguese citizenship.
George's original idea was to bring Deco to Burnley to help Ballack groom in midfield. Let Ballack be in charge of controlling the midfield, defending and attacking to complete the shots. Barak was so tired that George needed to find him a helper. The helper George found was Deco.
With Deco, Ballack's offensive ability can be fully unleashed.
I just didn't expect that things would change so much. George left Burnley, but the contact between George and Deco was not broken. It's just that the club he came into contact with changed from Burnley to Blackburn.
After nearly four months of applying, Deco's Portuguese citizenship application was finally granted. George was very happy that Deco did not need to apply for a labor certification this time.
This evil labor certification, this evil labor certification in English football! Needless to say, South America is a gold mine for players, and with the development of African football, there will be many good seedlings in Africa. But just because of the labor certification, I don't know how many talented players have been given up by English clubs.
Now it's great,
George asked Richard Flynn to buy Deco as soon as possible, and Deco is still an unknown player. To make matters worse, last season's Deco was deceived by his agent and came to a strange Portugal.
At first, Deco's agent told Deco that Benfica had taken a fancy to Deco. Deco would play at Benfica, but once he arrived in Portugal, Deco found out that he had been deceived. Benfica bought Deco, but threw Deco directly into his satellite club Alvirca.
Alverca, a Portuguese second-tier team, has to play at this club. At this time, George found him and told him that George admired him very much. So Deco was very happy and told George that he would like to play in England.
George was also pleased, so he later told Alan Levy. Deco is gnashing his teeth at the agent who deceived him, so when Alan Levy found Deco, Deco immediately changed agents. In fact, Deco's later agent was the future Portuguese predator Mendes, and this time George was just one step ahead.
Deco is not taken seriously by Benfica right now, so buying Deco is very simple and very cheap. Blackburn's vision in George's mind was slowly sketched.
…………
George slept soundly that night, getting Pire, Deco and Gudjohnsen for free. Three joys are coming, and I don't know how beautiful it is to sleep at night.
At noon the next day, George and Miku finally met.
Miku is very tall, 1.88 meters. And he's also very physically strong, albeit a technical midfielder. But the body is great, and I am not too afraid of ramming. Just the right fit to play in the Premier League. Coupled with delicate footwork, adapting to the Premier League will certainly not be a problem.
"Hello, Coach Levy." Miku is not a young man of seventeen or eighteen, but a veteran player who has been in Ligue 1 for many years. He speaks slowly, and is very steady. "Mr. Valker has already told me what you said, and I think we can talk."
George shook hands with him and cursed in his heart. Grandma's, I've spent five thousand pounds, if you don't see me reasoning with anyone.
"John, Mr. Valker may have told you, but I'm going to say it again." After the group had all sat down, George began to speak slowly. 'Bordeaux is even better than Blackburn Rovers at the moment, or you have a better chance of playing in the Europa League if you stay in Bordeaux.
George does not deny this, after all, Bordeaux is a strong team in Ligue 1. The Premier League is full of strong teams, and it will not be easy to squeeze into the top few places in the Premier League to participate in the Europa League.
"But one thing you have to know, John, is that Ligue 1 is becoming less and less competitive in Europe. If you stay in Ligue 1, it won't help you in your career. Zinedine Zidane is only a year older than you, and he already plays for Serie A giants Juventus. As long as Zinedine Zidane is around, then you can't get a foothold in the national team. That's why leaving Ligue 1 is a must. ”
Miku didn't speak, but his expression was gloomy. Miku is considered by many French football people to have a style of play similar to Zinedine Zidane, and if there is a difference of five or six years between the two, then this is a very good evaluation. But the age difference between the two is one year, and Zidane is like a big tree, firmly shielding from the sun.
"Blackburn Rovers have a bad record in the Premier League in the past two years, but Blackburn Rovers just won the Premier League title three years ago. The foundation is still there, and the president of our club is willing to invest money in the club. So Blackburn Rovers were able to get good results. ”
"As for adapting to England, I can tell you here. Our club has already bought four players in France this season, so you don't have to worry about adapting. ”
Georg knew that Miku had poor language skills and was unable to master German for a long time in Bremen. He even refused to learn German, which is why George told him that Blackburn had bought a lot of French players.
Miku was a little moved to hear George's words, and it is not a bad thing to break into the Premier League. And, as George said, European football is now a money game. Although Blackburn has not achieved good results in the past two years, as long as Jack Walker behind him is willing to invest money, it is not difficult to rise.
When Jack Walker took over Blackburn, Blackburn Rovers were still an English second-tier club. It was not the same that could make Blackburn the Premier League champions. As long as you have money, nothing is a problem.
"John, do you want to stay in Bordeaux forever? When other people talk about you, they just say that you are very talented and that your style of play is similar to that of Zinedine Zinedine. You don't want to go out and prove yourself, you have the strength. Tell people that you are not Zidane's replacement, and that you can create your own world. ”
George's words speak to Miku's heart, and for young players, it is an appreciation to compare with Zidane. But it's an insult for Miku, who, after all, is only a year younger than Zinedine Zidane. The two are completely players of the same age group.
Miku gritted his teeth, and George's last words completely moved Miku. In fact, Miku is willing to meet with George today, and he already has the intention of transferring. But the last sentence made Miku completely determined.
"Coach Levy, I'm willing to move to Blackburn." Valk next to him frowned, Miku was too impulsive. At this time, he should not have agreed to George so much, he should have delayed it for a while, so as to get a better contract for Miku at the negotiation table.
"Welcome, John. You won't regret this move. ”
…………
Blackburn then offered Bordeaux £2 million to buy John Miku.
Bordeaux was furious when they got Blackburn's offer. Although Miku has not yet become a player in the French team, he is the absolute heart of Bordeaux. Blackburn only threw away two million pounds to buy him, which was too much of a deception.
So they went straight back to Blackburn and told Blackburn that Miku was an important player in Bordeaux and it was absolutely impossible to sell him.
But soon Bordeaux received a transfer request from Micu, which made Bordeaux very helpless. They know that Blackburn has done his job as a player, which is a common tool in world football. But without evidence, they have no way.
The day after Miku handed in his transfer request, Blackburn Rovers immediately re-offered £2.5 million. Although he knew that he had no choice but to let Miku go at such a low price, Bordeaux refused again.
George didn't back down and immediately raised it to £2.8 million. Then tell Bordeaux that this is the final price and that Blackburn will not continue to raise the price.
At this point, Bordeaux knew that he could no longer keep Miku, so he reluctantly agreed to Blackburn's offer.
At this point, George's transfer in France is over. In France, George snare five people: Makelele, Pire, Gala, Miku, and Sagnol, spending a total of 13 million pounds.
