With the 2000 Euro Championship co-hosted by Belgium and the Netherlands approaching, European teams have begun their final preparations.

The training in France was conducted in the ancient city of Belgium and the famous tourist city of Europe. "Bru Cha" means "bridge" in Flemish and is named after an ancient Roman bridge over the River Ley, which flows through the city.

The historic centre of Bruce is a typical medieval town, with a large number of buildings from centuries ago preserved. Early Gothic architecture has become an integral part of the city's character. As an important trading and cultural center in Europe, Bruce had cultural ties with the rest of the world, such as the Flemish primitive painting school. In 2000, it was listed as a World Cultural Heritage Site. This medieval city is one of Belgium's most popular tourist destinations, and despite its crowds, you can't afford not to miss it.

As the champion of the World Cup in France, the French team is the biggest favorite team in this European Cup.

There were countless reporters outside, waiting to cover the French team.

Winning the World Cup made the French team full of confidence. In this year's French team, not only are many veterans old and strong, but also talented players are numerous. Their training was not as tense as it was before the competition, but rather very relaxed.

It was a sign of confidence on the part of the French team.

"John, why is the head looking for you?"

Pire asked Miku with a smile next to him. Piret is a proud man, and his pride comes from his talent. Pire is a genius, a genius who understands football. So he was very proud.

At the same time, because of Pire's pride, Pire's interpersonal relationship is not very good.

In the national team, Pire's relationship with the manager is not only average, but also with the rest of his team-mates.

It's just that because he came to Blackburn, he and Miku have a tacit understanding. The relationship between the two is better than anyone else's.

"Milan, they're interested in me. But I refused. "Miku doesn't have many friends in the national team.

"What about Milan?"

Piret shook his head. "What's so good about Milan. You go, you can't substitute Boban. It's better to stay in Blackburn. ”

"What are you talking about?" While Pire was chatting with Miku, a tall man came up to them.

"Laurent."

Both Piret and Miku greeted him with a smile.

It is not only the Eastern countries that pay attention to seniority and seniority. Even in the French national team, seniority is also important. Coming to Piret and Miku was one of the big names in the French national team, Laurent. Blanco.

Although both Pire and Miku were twenty-seven years old. But compared to Blanco, he is completely small in the national team.

Blanco has been an international for 10 years and is currently the second captain of the French national team. France are captained by Didier Deschamps and Blanco is second in the team.

Such a player comes to say hello, even if he is as proud as Pire, he has to be honest.

"Robert, John, what kind of person is George?"

"George?" Pire and Miku both looked at each other. The only George they know is Blackburn's head coach George. Levy.

Blanco nodded.

Blanco had also just received a call from his agent. Tell Blanco on the phone that Blackburn is very interested in him.

Although Blanco is old. But there are by no means a few clubs interested in Blanco. Even Manchester United's Alex Ferguson is quite interested in Blanco. I hope to be able to bring in Blanco. But Blanco was still very curious about Blackburn's interest in himself.

As for Blackburn, Blanco had heard of it. Mainly because the League Cup winner in the 99-00 season was Blackburn. And George, who is younger than himself, Blanco is not very familiar. With Blanco's achievements, it's normal not to be familiar with a budding coach like George.

But last year George. Levy is also quite famous in Italian football. Because Giorgio had a good count of Italian football after the away win over Roma. Scolded Italian football from top to bottom. At that time, the Italian media was all united in their crusade against George.

So when he heard that George was interested in him, Blanco thought of Miku. I want to ask Miku what that young manager is like.

"Yes. Blackburn wanted to bring me in. ”

"You?" Both Piret and Miku were shocked. Blanco is a true French football man.

"Head, how do you say it?" Miku paused for a moment and continued: "Head, he's a coach who is good at complimenting. He'll keep telling his players, you're strong. He will unconsciously make us feel really strong. ”

"The other thing is that he's a very confident coach. Last season, we had a bad start. But he managed to move the team to fourth place. And last season, he had his eye on the UEFA Cup title, and you know it in the end. ”

"I can say that anyway. The head is a man who is a champion and a champion seeker, and his coaching career is full of wonders. Although he has only been in charge for five years, his name in English football is a true miracle. ”

Blanco laughed. Miku, who usually doesn't speak much, talks endlessly about George. Who is this George? He was only five years older than Miku, but he was able to convince Miku so much.

"There's one more. The head is a coach who started defense, and playing defensive counter-attacks is his forte. But even if it's a good football, he can play it well. Piret added on the side.

Blanco listened to them, and his heart became more and more curious about George.

While Blanco was chatting with the two, the staff of the French team came to Blanco. Tell Blanco that someone is coming looking for him. Blanco wondered, although Lemaire was much looser than Jacquet. But there are still very few people who come directly to the players.

"He's the manager of Blackburn Rovers in the Premier League. Levy. ”

"George?"

"Head?"

............ "Hello, Laurent. I'm George. Levy. ”

Seeing Blanco, George felt a little excited in his heart. Not because George is a fan of Blanco. George has passed the age of being a fan, and the perspective of looking at people and things is no longer the perspective of a fan.

The reason for George's excitement is that once Blanco does join Blackburn, it will not only help Blackburn's strength. What's more, it also helped Blackburn's fame increase. After all, it was Blanco, a defender of a true world champion.

In the future, Blackburn, with the improvement of strength, will need more and more good players. At that time, in addition to achievements, you needed fame.

"Hello, Coach Levy." Blanco is the one who has seen the big world. I have seen many world-class coaches. In the face of George, who is younger than himself, he is very calm.

"Laurent, I'm sure you've heard." Blanco nodded. "Yes, Laurent. Then I'll get straight to the point. In terms of fame, Inter is far better than our Blackburn, but in terms of the current situation, we are far better than Inter. ”

"Inter is honest, there are a lot of good players. The boss is never stingy and invests a lot of money. However, I can assert that Inter's results will not improve in recent years. And with Chairman Moratti's style of doing things, Coach Lippi's position is also very unstable. ”

Blanco did not refute George's words.

Speaking of which, Moratti is a true fan. A true Inter fan. He can be said to have done his best for Inter. Inter Milan has not lacked big-name players over the years, and Moratti definitely dares to spend a lot of money.

But Moratti's love for Inter is completely more than the perspective of a club president. Moratti is managing the club from the perspective of a fan. Therefore, Moratti is an impatient chairman. In his hands, those coaches are like watching the flowers. No matter how famous the coach is, at Inter Milan and under Moratti, he can only go through the motions.

Everyone knows this.

'But we, Blackburn, are a young team. It's because of our youth that it's time for us at Blackburn Rovers to make achievements and make history. But it's also because our players are young that they need an older player to take them. I think you're the best fit. ”

Last season, George enjoyed the benefits of the veteran players. Davao. Su Ke, Kevin. Gallaher, Henning. The Berg trio had a great performance at Blackburn Rovers last year. A good addition to Blackburn's two-front attack.

It also made George realize the role of the old players.

"Laurent, are you willing to lead these young people to create a new history?"

George's last words made Blanco stunned.

Blanco knows that Blackburn is good right now. Blanco just thinks that George invited him because he was interested in his fame. After all, he is almost thirty-five years old and is about to retire. Hearing George say that he wants to make a new history made Blanco a little tempted.

"Coach Levy, I feel your sincerity. How about you give me a moment to think about it? ”

Blanco asked cautiously.

George smiled and nodded. "Laurent, I have a lot of French players in my team. You can ask them about it. I hope you're a little bit faster, though. Because your decision will affect my team for next season. ”

"Okay, Coach Levy."

"I hope there will be good news."

Although the two simply met and chatted briefly. But George believed that Blanco must be his own. As long as Blanco's side agrees, George immediately offers Inter.

In the central defender position, if you can get Blanco and Panucci, there will be basically no problem. But now at left-back, Van Bronckhorst and Luciano. Both of them were leaving.

A left-back should be brought in. He is also a left-back who can attack the main position.

Of course, there is one more, and the gap between Romedalal's departure must also be filled. George patted his forehead, these are all things to consider.

In fact, as long as you have the money to buy the main players, it is simpler. It's about buying a substitute player, and it's even harder to buy a player who can accept the substitute position with ease. This kind of player is either a veteran who is not far from retirement, or a young player who has just debuted.

Of course, some players who are not strong enough can also do it. However, George prefers to have a veteran or young player who is strong enough to be a substitute for the team.
