58 Building the Future Part II

George went straight to Uruguay with a disgruntled Evan Sawyer.

"Evan, don't sigh. You think I'm willing to bring you along. If we have someone in Burnley who knows Spanish, I wouldn't want to take you with me. Preferably a beautiful lady, that wouldn't be better. George smiled as he watched Evan Sawyer complain about himself since he was on the plane.

Evan Sawyer pursed his lips and sighed.

"George, although we don't have Spanish speakers at the club. But if you throw a little money around, there are still people who are willing to do the job. You don't give me a raise, why don't you let me come with you? ”

"Alright, Evan. You see you can still travel to Uruguay for free, do I ask you for the travel fee? George smiled.

Speaking of which, Uruguay is a good place to visit, most of the territory is flat, and agriculture and animal husbandry are developed. Uruguay is known as the "Switzerland of South America" because of its beautiful natural scenery and stable social environment. Because of its gemstone-like shape and abundant amethyst stone, it is known as the "country of diamonds".

And Uruguay is located halfway between Brazil and Argentina, and is also a traditional football powerhouse. He has won the World Cup twice in his history, and this time Giorgio is poaching a future star in the Uruguayan First Division.

…………

Montevideo is one of the most beautiful cities in South America. The city is beautifully landscaped, with clean streets and tree-lined trees. Walking down the street is lined with trees and flowers, which makes you feel good.

"Evan, you can't see anything like this in England. How about it, don't suffer at all when you come out with me. George felt the fresh air of Montevideo and spoke to Evan.

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

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

"Montevideo" originally means "I see the mountain" in Portuguese. Monte means "mountain" and video means "I see Montevideo". Legend has it that in the 17th century, when a Portuguese expedition first arrived here, a sailor spotted a hill in the northwest of the old city and exclaimed, "I see the mountain", hence the name of the city.

Of course, the above is just a folk saying and is not recognized by the academic community. But Montevideo is very beautiful, and if it weren't for the fact that there was something going on, George would have wanted to visit Montevideo.

After all, there is also the prestigious Prado Park, the oldest and most famous park in the city, with more than 800 varieties of roses planted in the park, giving the city the nickname "City of Roses".

With Evan Sawyer, a man who is well versed in Spain, it was easy for George and Evan Sawyer to find the Montevideo Wanderers Club.

With the increasing influence of money in the center of world football, especially in football, the domestic leagues of Brazil and Argentina have become bases for developing players. Many Brazilian and Argentine football clubs repeat the same model, training players and then selling them to Europe.

And Uruguay, which is sandwiched between them, has a very developed football industry. On the one hand, Uruguayan football clubs actively export players to solve economic problems and enable football to feed more people; In addition, it also accelerates the growth of talents, so that more athletes can be useful. In addition, through the tempering of foreign countries, many Uruguayan players have become world-class stars, once the motherland calls, he

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

The active football market has promoted the development of the football economy, which in turn has created more and better football talents. This is how football in Uruguay has developed.

Of course, it sounds good, but in other words, it means the same thing. These teams in South America can't keep their players, and they wait for European teams to come and offer them after they have developed them.

"Camoranesi, oops. Mr. Levy, Camoranesi is a very important player for our club and we have not thought of selling him. Hearing that the European club was here, the excited Perez immediately withered when he heard the name of the player George wanted to buy.

There are many good players at Rangers, but Camoranesi is not the most important. Uruguay's players are much cheaper than the big stars of Argentina and Brazil. Camoranesi is even more so.

But thinking that the one in front of me is from England, Perez still wants to raise the price.

"Mr. Perez, we already know this well since we are here. I hope we can close a successful deal, and if we do, we will have the next chance to work together. You tell me? George smiled slightly, and exposed Perez's lies 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. It's no wonder that players sold in the Uruguayan league are generally cheap, look at Perez's current performance. George just said a word, and Perez was embarrassed. The businessmen George has seen are all cheeky, how can anyone be so thin-skinned.

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

"Half a million dollars, no, no, no." Perez shook his head repeatedly. "Mr. Levy, the price is just too cheap. Can you add a little more. ”

George thought about it, as if it was hard to decide. "Well, I'll add another 100,000. $600,000, which is already a high price for a young player like Camoranesi. South America is not lacking in talent, and $600,000 can find a very good player. ”

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

As soon as Perez was happy, he began to recommend other players from the club to George. However, George was only interested in Camoranesi alone, so he politely turned down Perez, much to Perez's disappointment.

After getting Perez, George saw the main right midfielder Camoranesi when Italy won the World Cup in the future. At this time, Camoranesi was only twenty-one years old, which was very young.

I didn't have a choice, and when I heard that it was a club from England, I agreed without saying a few words.

Camoranesi, who is only twenty-one years old, has a pigtail and a long hair.

"Camoranesi, you have to know that we have to have a labour certificate to play in England. You don't qualify for a labor certification, but I know that your parents are Italian and you can easily apply for Italian citizenship. I want you to be able to apply for Italian citizenship so that you don't need a labor certification. "It was precisely because he knew that Camoranesi had Italian nationality that George chose Camoranesi.

"With Italian citizenship, it's not just convenient in England. It would be very convenient to play in clubs throughout Europe, as many countries will have a lot of restrictions on non-EU foreign players. ”

Camoranesi nodded. "I see."

George looked at Camoranesi in front of him, and a sense of pride rose in his heart. With Ljungberg and Camoranesi, Burnley's wide flanks are completely lively. With the addition of Ballack in the middle, Burnley's current midfield is no less than that of some mid-to-lower Premier League teams.

When Ballack, Ljungberg, and Camoranesi are all mature, even if they play against the Premier League teams, 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's territory in George's mind has been completely put together with the addition of Camoranesi.
