122 Hand in hand (ask for collection)
Looking at this weird-looking black boy, a smile suddenly appeared on George's face.
"You can understand what I say." George didn't know what Chinese he spoke, so he asked in English.
The black boy in front of him nodded sneeringly. He was very excited to see George, and it was because Burnley was now famous that he would go to Burnley for a trial. And George was the biggest factor in Burnley's rise.
"Do you want a hundred and ten pounds a week?" George saw this young man so shy, who could believe that he would become a famous playboy in the world in the future.
"Yes, in my strength it should be worth a hundred and ten pounds." He was confident in this, and puffed up his chest to talk back to George.
"Hey, boy. Do you know what my weekly salary is and what is Barak's weekly salary? ”
George is Burnley's manager, and Ballack is Burnley's biggest player at the moment. Seeing the young man look at George suspiciously, George told him with a smile. "My salary is only five hundred pounds a week, and Barak's salary is nine hundred pounds a week. Do you still think you deserve a hundred and ten pounds? ”
In fact, George said some things right, some things wrong. Because George and Ballack have both signed contracts before, if the two remain at Burnley, then a new contract will definitely be signed. The couple's weekly wages are bound to rise sharply, and Barak's weekly wages are likely to exceed £10,000.
So the fame of the two is not in line with the weekly salary, but this is because their contracts were signed before.
The little one in front of him may also be surprised, he didn't expect the famous George and Barak to have such a small weekly salary. But soon he regained his self-confidence. "I feel like I deserve a weekly wage."
"Ambitious, young man. What is your name? Where is home? "George certainly knows his name.
"Michael Essien, Ghana."
Yes, the kid standing next to George is Michael Essien, who will be the famous beast waist in the Ghana national team and Chelsea team in the future, and is known as the world's No. 1 defender. Essien is not yet 16 years old, and will not be 16 until December this year.
Although it has not fully grown, the face George remembers clearly. So one look at George recognized this iron-waisted Essien.
Unexpectedly, the famous iron-waisted Essien would come to Burnley for a trial. Such a good player, not to say that he gave 110 pounds, even 300 pounds should be kept. George was happy to tell Wilkinson and recommend Essien to Kilby.
But as soon as he turned around, he stopped. Forget that he is no longer Burnley's manager and has no right to demand what happens to Kilby. And at the thought of Kilby, the hatred in George's heart welled up.
Kiel is a bastard who knows how to care about a little money than you, and giving you a player as good as Essien is just giving him some extra money. Mom, I'm leaving, why should I give him such a good player.
George was not a gentleman in the first place, and this kind of thought came together, and he couldn't stop it. Anyway, I will have to coach at other clubs in the future, and I have to take a player as good as Essien with me. And if you cultivate it from a young age, then Essien will be your own descendant player.
As a coach, you need your own direct players, so it's not just good for you to manage the dressing room. In the future, when there is an awkward relationship with the club's management, I can also have support. Although he did not renew his contract this time, he could not hide the fact that George had left Burnley in disgrace.
If George had been tough from the start, he wouldn't have given Kirby the slightest fluke. How dare he do this to himself, or was he too weak before.
This incident gave George a lot of feelings, and George had secretly made up his mind in his heart. In the future, we must not be weak again, even if we coach any club, we can't let the club's senior management bully like this time.
Thinking of this, George suddenly changed his smile. "Michael, how did you get to England. Is it to follow your agent, or ......"
"I came to England with my uncle." Essien didn't know what George meant.
Hearing that Essien had followed George to England, George couldn't help but laugh. It's great that Alan Levy's sports agency doesn't have a lot of players right now. Allen, the kid, called George every day to complain that he had too few players. Now it's not the players who feed themselves at all, it's the players themselves.
There's such a nice guy here, and Essien is standing right here. What kind of person is Essien, at the peak of his future, he is worth more than 30 million pounds, and Chelsea will not shoot a world-class iron waist. Allen, don't say anything about sports agencies, even if it's Essien alone, it's enough for him to eat and drink.
"Michael, would you like to stay and play in England?" George is now like a weird uncle who kidnaps a child.
Essien was stunned and looked at George. But then he shook his head. "I need money, our family needs money."
Money, that's what reminded George. Essien's family was not rich, it was a very poor family. George had read Essien's profile before and knew that Essien had no father but only a mother in his family. And there are Essien, and there are many brothers and sisters.
Many of the players in Africa and South America grew up in the slums. The purpose of their football is very simple, because this is the easiest channel for them to change their lives. The same is true of Essien, who has only one skill. He wants to play football, and only by playing football can he not return to that slum. Only by playing football can your family live a good life.
There are many difficult things to do in this world, but if you can solve them with money, then the problem is not big.
"Michael, if you believe me. I will introduce you to a very good broker who will arrange everything for you. Of course, if you're willing to wait, I'm willing to sign you. One hundred and ten pounds, a penny is not less. ”
"Coach Levy, what you said is true?" Essien looked at George in surprise.
George nodded. 'Michael, I've left Burnley. But I'll get a new job soon, and I'll sign you when the time comes. Are you willing to wait for me for a while? ”
"Yes, yes." Essien nodded quickly, but immediately deflated again. "But we don't have that much money to stay in England." This time they went to England to raise money everywhere, and they came to England.
"In this way, I will pay for you all the expenses of your stay in England first. You just train with me and you will become a world-class player in the future. George patted Essien on the shoulder.
Essien looked at George excitedly, and Essien did not suspect that George would lie to him. George's fame in England was there, and Essien himself had what. Nothing, even if George tried to lie to him, he had nothing himself.
Therefore, Essien could only bow again and again. "Thank you Coach Levy, thank you Coach Levy."
(Essien's trial at Burnley was a real thing, but not in 1998.) It's just a little bit of a change here, an exaggeration, and the reader can just laugh at it. )
