Burnley's ability to thrash in the English Second Division is inseparable from Burnley's wonderful performance on the right side of Pobowski. After Poboski adapted to the English Second Division, almost no team could defend against Poboski.

Poboski's excellent technique and speeding speed made him completely unhindered in the second division. More than 20 goals in a season as a right-back is absolutely amazing. Because he had the whole Burnley team at his service, George also built Burnley's attack specifically for Poboski.

Now that Poborski has left Burnley, Burnley's attack has lost a leg all of a sudden. George had to find a qualified replacement for Poboski, or a player who could match Poboski.

It was for this purpose that George personally came to Hasleholm, Sweden. George did not come forward for this summer transfer, and Evan Sawyer brought in according to the list provided by George.

But the person we are going to meet today is the main right midfielder in George's future team. It can even be said that George will need to rely on the talent of the generals who will need to rely on the Premier League in the future.

The player George is looking for in Sweden is the future famous figure in the Swedish national team, Sweden's wide wizard, and the future right-wing ruler of Arsenal. Ljungberg. Needless to say, Ljungberg's achievements are beyond doubt.

Ljungberg has excellent technique and speed, and he is a must when he is on the attack. He is extremely capable of scoring and can often deliver sudden and lethal blows from behind the striker.

Ljungberg now plays for Swedish club Halmstad, which finished seventh in the Swedish league last season. At just 19 years old, Ribery was already a regular at the club last season.

The Swedish league is not even a second-rate league in Europe. The role of the Swedish league, like that of some minor leagues in Europe, is the role of exporting players. As long as it's the right price, the club won't stop the player. And playing in Europe's top leagues is also the idea of Swedish players.

Ribery is now in the Swedish league, and even in Sweden, he is just a young player with a little reputation. Fortunately, Sweden joined the European Union in 1995 and does not require a labor certificate. Otherwise, Ljungberg, who is not yet a Sweden international, would not have gotten a labor certificate at all.

"Frederick is the star of hope in our team! He will definitely be a member of the Swedish national team in the future, and we will definitely not sell him at this stage. Halmstad's chairman, Filson, shook his head vigorously.

Filson had great expectations for George's arrival. Swiss Premier League clubs sell players for a living, even though George is only the manager of a League One club. But in recent years, English clubs have been the epitome of money and stupidity in European football.

But George actually fell in love with Ljungberg, and the current Ljungberg is really not worth a few dollars.

'I'm sure Ljungberg will become a Sweden international in the future, but not now. And even if you become a Sweden international, what price do you think other European leagues will buy Ljungberg. You may have heard of Czech international Karel Poboski, who performed so well at this year's European Championships, that it was only four million. Do you think Ribery can perform better than Poboski? George asked with a smile.

Poboski's performance at this year's European Championships is completely god-level, and no one can say whether Ljungberg will be able to perform like that in the future.

George's words left Filson speechless. Ljungberg is still just a star of hope, and no one can guarantee what it will be like in the future.

"Mr. Filson, I have come in person this time with absolute sincerity. We at Burnley are willing to buy Ljungberg for £800,000. "George is already very sincere.

It's not yet the time when it's time for a slightly better player to be tens of millions at every turn. Alan Shearer, who has just moved to Newcastle this year, is only £15 million. If it had been at the turn of the new century, Shearer would have been worth more than £25 million.

So for Ljungberg, a 19-year-old Swedish star, £800,000 is already a very good price. If you convert it into dollars, it's almost two million dollars.

"Frankly, Mr. Filson. Ljungberg will be a top-class midfielder if he develops well. But it was impossible for Halmstad to keep Ljungberg until that time, and it was impossible to keep it hard. "George was a little hesitant to see that Filson was still there, so he put some pressure on him." In the future, even if Ljungberg is selected for the national team, his value cannot be very high. But if that's the case, you can only agree to the poaching of other clubs. If you don't accept it, you can only let the player go for free...... Damn the Bosman Act! ”

George's words penetrated into Filson's heart, and as soon as the Bosman Act came out, it was a catastrophe for large, medium and small clubs. Of course, not only some small and medium-sized clubs, but even those clubs with a glorious history are inevitably affected.

PSV Eindhoven in the Netherlands, Ajax in Portugal, Porto and Benfica in Portugal, Red Star Belgrade in Yugoslavia, Partizan Belgrade, Star Bucharest in Romania, Malmo in Sweden, Panathinaikos in Greece and Bruce in Belgium have all started to decline.

Even Ligue 1 has become a star processing league, and the European league has gradually become the plaything of the four major leagues of the Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, and Bundesliga.

The most typical case is definitely Ajax. At that time, Ajax had a large number of good players. Van der Sar, the De Boer brothers, Seedorf, Davies, Overmars, Kluivert, with their strength and age, could dominate European football for many years.

But as soon as the Bosman Act came out, these young talents immediately went their separate ways. Ajax could only sigh in vain as he watched these young people leave.

The Eredivisie and Ligue 1 are still like this, not to mention the Swiss Super League club, which has no power to resist at all.

On second thought, Fillson found that £800,000 was already a very good offer. So he gritted his teeth and nodded: "Coach Levy, I accept Burnley's offer." But I can't force Frederick's willingness to join Burnley. ”

Anyway, cultivating Ljungberg is also going to be sold, and now that there are such good buyers, why not sell it.

"Mr. Filson, I would like to speak with Frederick alone, what do you think?" George asked with a smile.

Filson shrugged and agreed very happily. Not afraid of George doing anything else, although the two only made a verbal agreement, Filson believed that George would not regret it. Unless George doesn't want Ljungberg, which is now in Halmstad anyway.

With Filson's permission, George met with Ljungberg.

Ljungberg, the future Arsenal's unbeaten season on the right and the king of the Premier League's right-wing wing, is still just a 19-year-old young player.

But the natural surname, the unruliness in the eyes can't be concealed. Hearing George say that it was Burnley from League One, his face immediately collapsed.

"Coach Levy, I'm not interested in the English second division." Ljungberg has a very strong surname and speaks unceremoniously.

George wasn't offended by Ljungberg's words. Instead, he showed a faint smile, to be a coach, his subordinates can't be all gentle gentlemen like Baggio, Bergkamp, and Raul. From time to time, you will also encounter players with surnames like Ljungberg.

"Do you think you can go to the Premier League at your level?" Hearing George's words, Ljungberg's heart was furious, and his face turned hideous for a moment. George didn't pay attention to him, and continued to smile: "The current Premier League, of course, including Serie A, La Liga, and Bundesliga, is unlikely to pay attention to you. Because the attraction of Ruichao is too low. Even if you have the quality, unless you do well in the Swedish national team, you ......"

Yongberg, who had just looked hideous, looked much better. Ljungberg is a very confident and ambitious man. Of course, I don't want to stay in Ruichao all the time. However, George is quite right when he says that the Swiss Super League is unlikely to get the attention of the big four leagues.

'Frederick, we're different at Burnley. We're in the First Division, but we have the League Cup and the FA Cup every year. They can play against Premier League teams. As long as you do well in it, you don't have a chance to catch the eye of a Premier League team. Ljungberg didn't speak, but after listening to George's explanation, he gradually relaxed his hostility towards George.

George was very happy to see that Ljungberg was listening to his own words. "And who's to say we Burnley can't be upgraded. Once promoted, we will also be a Premier League team. "That's what George is aiming for, and now that Ljungberg is only nineteen, Burnley can still be used for a long time." Do you know Karel Poboski of the Czech national team? ”

"Well, I've seen this year's European Championship." Ljungberg nodded.

'Poboski was with us last season, but Poboski has moved to Manchester United. That's why I took a fancy to you, you are no worse than Pobosky. George's words put Ljungberg to good use. Ljungberg didn't think George's words were a compliment at all, because Ljungberg had always been confident in his own strength.

"Frederick, it's impossible for you to be in the Swiss Super League and be watched by other big European teams. Our club is far more promising than the Swiss Super League, don't you want to play in a big club? If you want to attract their attention, behave right under their noses. George's last words completely touched Ljungberg, who in Ljungberg's eyes Burnley was just a small club, a springboard for the future.

"Coach Levy, give me some time to think about it, okay?" Ljungberg hesitated for a moment, then said to George.

"I hope there will be good news."

…………

Just a day later, Ljungberg agreed to move to Burnley. George paid £800,000 for the nineteen-year-old Frederick Ljungberg.

Fillson was delighted because a rising star in the Swiss Super League had sold for £800,000. Ljungberg is also happy because there is a chance to play against a big club and Burnley are offering a contract that is far better than Halmstad.

Of course, the happiest is George, who bought the future Premier League right-wing big man and the mainstay of the Swedish national team for 800,000 pounds.

But before George left Sweden, someone called George's mobile phone. "Hello, I'm George Levy."

"Hello, Coach Levy. I'm John Williams, and I hope we can meet and talk. ”
