"Burnley?" A tall and big man, with a feeling of 1.9 meters. So George, who is also 1.83 meters tall, has to look up a little to meet his eyes. Barak, who had just come down from the training ground, looked at George in front of him with some confusion.

George doesn't know how excited he is right now, not because he sees a future world-class superstar like Ballack. Rather, it was because I had just learned that Barak had not yet signed a contract with Kemnitz. It's still a free body, and now it's just a trial in Kemnitz. Although even if Ballack has signed with Kemnitz, he is only worth tens of thousands of dollars. But tens of thousands of dollars is not a small amount for a team in England's third division.

Burnley's relegation from the First Division to the Second Division this year was a huge loss in itself. Coupled with the fact that Burnley is not a wealthy team in their own right, it is already very happy to be able to give George a transfer fee of one million pounds. So even a little bit of money has to be saved, and tens of thousands of dollars in the second and third divisions of England may be able to buy some better players.

George nodded. "Michael, our club was in the second tier of the English league last year, which is the English First Division. It's just that we haven't been able to survive relegation this year, and our club will play in the third tier of the English league from next season. I'm going to be the new head coach of Burnley. I really appreciate your abilities and look forward to inviting you to join Burnley. "George is really glad that learning German was able to make a difference at a crucial time.

Hearing that it was a club in the third tier of England, Ballack was slightly disappointed. Although it has not yet joined Kemnitz, it is also the second division of Germany. "Mr. Levy, but Mr. Tim said the club is considering signing me."

George looked at Evan next to him suspiciously, and Evan immediately understood what George meant and explained to him: "Tim is the youth team coach. ”

"Michael, I have no doubt that Kemnitz will sign you. Because you are very good, as long as you are not a fool, you will definitely not be let go. But have you ever thought about what would happen if you joined Kemnitz? There is a general tendency in German football that players do not really mature until they are twenty-five years old. You're only eighteen years old now, and even if you join Kemnitz, you're only playing with the Kemnitz youth team. "For Michael Barak, George is willing to give more time. Because Barack deserves more effort from George.

So George gave Barak a detailed explanation. "If you think about it, the Kemnitz club is so poor that even the first team is tight. Not to mention the youth team, if it weren't for the hard surname rule, I believe they would have disbanded the youth team. And you play with the youth team, all in those semi-amateur leagues, and you don't improve much at all. But we are different at Burnley, which has been around for more than 100 years. They have won the top flight twice in their history and are in the English First Division this season. Although unfortunately, we were relegated. But our goal is to be promoted, to the First Division. "Although George has an element of demagogy, he is telling the truth. After Ballack joined Kemnitz, he played in the newly established amateur North League.

"Look again, I've heard that you've been training with the youth team in Kemnitz for a while. But they haven't offered you a contract so far, and I flew from England to Germany for you. And I've got a contract ready for you, and if you agree, come with me to England. George's words sent Barak deep in thought.

And George's words still have a lot of demagoguery. Ballack has been gradually leaning towards Burnley. After all, he is not even a professional player now, but the head coach of Burnley came to Germany in person, and Ballack is still quite touched by such sincerity.

"What are you still thinking, do you want to give up such a great opportunity?" Evan Sawyer was even more excited to see Barak thinking there. "Those stupid people in Kemnitz don't know how to use you at all, and if you follow him, you'll learn a lot of different things."

Barack was awakened by Evan's words, and smiled coyly at George. 'Mr Levy, I agree to play at Burnley. Let's go to the café next door to discuss the details of the contract. ”

Barak was young, but far more mature than George had imagined. But if you think about it, in Ballack's career, Ballack has always been able to choose the best step for him.

George's contract is also very good, with a salary of 800 pounds a week and a four-year contract. This is a very good salary even in the German second division, and Ballack is very satisfied. But what Barak didn't know was that George was more satisfied than Barak. To be able to sign a world-class midfielder like Ballack, although his current level has not yet reached his peak, he is already a player with quite good ability.

"Michael, I hope you will be able to report to the club by July 20th." The moment he saw Barak sign his name, George was relieved. He smiled and stood up and stretched out his hand.

"I see, Mr. Levy." Ballack is also very happy and is finally about to step into real professional football.

George shook his head and smiled, "No, don't call me Mr. Levy. From now on, call me head or boss. ”

"Evan, what the hell are you studying in Germany? Or are you also a coach? After sending Barak away, George smiled and talked to Evan Sawyer next to him. This very lively young man, George found very interesting.

Speaking of this, Evan sighed. "George, like you, I'm a coach. But no matter where I am, they all look down on young people like me, and I guess they have the impression that only people in their forties can be coaches. Don't think about it, Brian Clough was only thirty-two years old when he became a coach. When Chapman became a coach, he wasn't even thirty years old. As he spoke, Evan was a little indignant, and said angrily: "I used to be in the English club, but those people looked down on me. Later, I wanted to make a name for myself in East Germany, but I didn't expect the German side to be more conservative. It's hard to say, it's hard to say. ”

George listened to Evan's words and almost fainted. Chapman is one of England's greatest coaches. Led two different teams and won three consecutive championships. He was the founder of the Arsenal dynasty, and the famous W formation was created by Chapman. Brian Clough is England's most iconic coach in history, leading the third division to top-flight titles in five years. Of course, the most legendary thing is that at Nottingham Forest, he led the team to win the league title in the first year of promotion, and then dominated European football in the next two years, winning the European Champions Cup.

Evan, a nobody who didn't know where to go, actually used the two of them as an example. It's really a horse that doesn't know how long his face is, but after a short period of contact, George still thinks Evan has some talent.

"Evan, how's it going. How would you feel about coming to England with me? ”
