136 Storm of France 4
"Coach Levy, we've already talked to Monaco. They were willing to sell Sagnol for two and a half million pounds. As for Jiuli, the price they asked for was too high to be negotiated. "I had just finished talking to Metz about Pire, when I got a call from Richard Flynn.
George smiled slightly when he received the call, what is this called? This is the so-called double happiness.
Although I couldn't dig up Gyuli, a Sagnol was well worth it. Sagnol, who was the absolute main force on the right side of Bayern Munich in the future, finally became the captain of Bayern Munich.
In fact, Monaco has a player that George likes more, and that is the future gun king Thierry Henry. It's a pity that George knows that Henry is the hottest star in France now, and many European giants are already watching him. Juventus, in particular, have been watching Thierry Henry's performances last season.
And Henry's worth is absolutely sky-high, seven or eight million pounds is the basic asking price. Now George's money can't buy this hot star. Of course, if it weren't for the fact that Blackburn Rovers needed to be rebuilt and every location needed to be bought, George would have brought Henry to Ewood Park.
"Evan, Richard's got it. Sagnol, our right is secured. George saw Evan come out and happily told him good news.
"George, don't be too busy to be happy. There was a call from there, saying that Pire's negotiations were not going very well. Piret preferred to stay in France and accept a contract with Marseille. ”
"Stay in France? Marseilles? George frowned, the current Premier League is not as strong as it was later. Ligue 1 will be weaker and weaker in the next few years, and the Premier League will be stronger and stronger. Even a French hegemon like Lyon can't resist poaching in the face of the Premier League.
But at this time in the late twentieth century, the Premier League was not that strong. Marseille have a chance to play in European competition in Ligue 1, but Blackburn Rovers are the underdogs in the Premier League. So Pire's reluctance is understandable.
"In this case, let's go to Paris and meet Pire himself."
Pire is a player that George must bring in, and unlike George who brought in Ballack, Klose and Robbie Keane at Burnley, Pire is already twenty-four years old and will soon be twenty-five. In six seasons in Metz, it can be said that a wealth of experience has been accumulated. Although Ligue 1 is at the bottom of the top five European leagues, it is also one of the top five European leagues.
Piret is not only a master of wide attack, but also capable of being the heart of a team. Because he has good technique, good passing, great vision and even his ability to score goals. With him, Blackburn can not only play on the wing, but also have an offensive core.
At the height of Arsenal's game, Pire was able to pass and shoot on the left side. Not only is he Arsenal's second scorer, but he is also one of the core of Arsenal's attack.
Although he needs to adapt to the rhythm of the Premier League when he arrives in the Premier League, Pire still belongs to the range of players who come and go. George has just joined Blackburn Rovers and needs such a quality player. And Pire is the kind of player who gets older and more demonic, and there is still a long time before he is in his prime.
Pire, George is inevitable.
…………
Paris, this is George's first visit to Paris.
Paris is the capital and largest city of France, as well as the political, economic and cultural center of France, and one of the four world-class cities, along with New York in the United States, London in the United Kingdom and Tokyo in the United Kingdom. In its development since the Middle Ages, Paris has retained the imprints of the past, even the layout of some of the most historic streets, while developing a unified style and modern infrastructure.
Paris is the capital of France and the heart of the country. There are two kinds of French, those who are "Parisians" and those who "live outside Paris".
As one of the world's most historic metropolises, Paris also has a lot to offer. Place de la Concorde, Arc de Triomphe, Louvre, Notre Dame Cathedral, Suram Seine, Palace of Versailles, etc.
It's a pity that it's not a good season to visit. After getting Makelele and Gala, as well as the negotiations with Mace, more than ten days passed quickly. The World Cup in France has already begun on June 10th. Because the matches of the French national team are held at the Stade de France, many French fans flocked to Paris.
It's not just China that has a lot of people, but Paris is also crowded with people now. People from all over the world come to Paris.
"Hello, Mr. Courbis." George had been on the phone with Courbis for a long time. The man in front of him is Pire's agent, Stephen Courbis. It's just a general broker now, but in the future it will become one of the heavyweight brokers in France.
This kind of person George needs to make good friends, and there will be many geniuses from France in the future. Arsene Wenger has relied on his contacts in France to amass a bunch of talented players who have played in Ligue 1. Georges doesn't want to fall behind, Ligue 1 is an important player storehouse.
"Hello, Coach Levy." Courbis was also very enthusiastic about George. The best player in Koulbis' hands is Pire, and as an agent, he knows a lot about George Levy, who is about to meet.
England's youngest Premier League coach won the League Cup and FA Cup with LinkedIn League One last season. England's young marshal, who has made a name for himself in recent years, has just taken over Blackburn's reins.
When Courbis described George, one thing came to mind: the future is bright.
The manager needs to make good friends with the agent, and the agent also needs to maintain a friendly relationship with some of the coaches.
"I wanted to meet Pire in person. I really admire Robert and hope to be able to take him to England. ”
"I'm so sorry, Coach Levy. During the World Cup, Coach Jacques was very strict. Although Robert is a substitute, he is not free to move. Curbis smiled bitterly, Jacques is still relatively strict in management.
Georges nodded, Jacquet, the greatest coach in French history. Before this year's World Cup, the biggest topic of discussion for the French team was Jacques dropping Manchester United's king Eric Cantona. Abandoning Cantona and straightening Zidane, Jacques needs courage. Jacques's iron fist is a wonderful stroke in the history of French and even world football.
"Well, Mr. Courbis, the same with you." In general, convincing the broker is also a viable option. "Mr. Courbis, you should understand that the situation is that the Premier League is getting faster and faster, while Ligue 1 is declining a lot. Ligue 1 teams have no power to resist in the face of the Premier League, and the development of the Premier League is obvious to all. Robert's development in the Premier League is definitely more promising than staying in Ligue 1. ”
Koulbis nodded, the development of the Premier League is getting faster and faster. This is something that everyone in European football recognises.
"Whether it's in terms of income or career, moving to the Premier League is the best option for Robert. I can guarantee that Robert will be an absolute mainstay in my team. Mr. Courbis, you can think about it. After training at Arsenal, Petit is already a regular of the French national team. If Vieira hadn't had Deschamps, he would have been the main force of the French team by now. I can guarantee that as long as Pire is with me for two years, he will also become a regular in the French national team. ”
The whole thing was George again, and Courbis was just listening. Finally nodded.
"Coach Levy, I see what you mean. I'll pass on your words to Robert, and I really want to work with Coach Levy. With that, Courbis stretched out his hand.
George shook Courbis's hand and said with a smile, "Hope there will be good news." ”
