396 Lao Tzu is not bad for money
George really didn't think about selling three main players. And they are the three most important people in the midfield. Makellele, in particular, was something George had never thought of at all. But at this point, George can only admit it.
Now that things are like this, George can't help it. But there was one man who came back and gave George absolute confidence. That's Pire.
Pire scoffed at Barca's offer.
Barcelona, the results of these seasons have been too poor. And Pire doesn't look down on the current Barcelona, if it's an invitation from Real Madrid? Can Pire still think about it, Barca? Piret simply refused.
This made George breathe a sigh of relief.
Pire, George was quite fond of. Piret is the most well-rounded player in midfield. In terms of technology, it is no worse than Miku. In terms of breakthroughs, it is no worse than Duff. When it comes to shooting, it's definitely number one in midfield. Even in terms of passing, it is not much worse than Miku.
You can use Piret however you want.
You put him on the wing, he can break through the wing, he can cross, he can cut inside.
If you put him in the middle, he can organise attacks, pass the ball, shoot well.
Although he is a little arrogant, he can't look down on players with poor strength. But there are players with strength, who are not arrogant. Pire is definitely a very important player in George's hands.
With such a player, how could George be willing to leave. And Pire's type of player has a long athletic life. It shouldn't be a problem until you're about 35 years old.
So after getting Pire's reply, George was in a good mood.
George has always been too passive. Or George didn't expect that this season's poaching by others was too ferocious. That's why it's so embarrassing. Now it can be regarded as holding the front. Of course, George also understood the importance of fame.
Grandma's, why can those wealthy families do whatever they want.
Isn't it just relying on the fame that their ancestors have accumulated for them. Otherwise, Blackburn has achieved such good results in the past few seasons, how could it be completely inferior to the giants in terms of attractiveness. Now George really can't stand up to those big clubs.
Since you can't fight against the giants, it's okay to deal with some strong teams.
Football is a big fish eating small fish, and Blackburn is a small fish in the face of giants. I can't eat your big fish, so I'll eat it.
George's first target was the German powerhouse. This club, like Blackburn, is a club that has risen in recent seasons. But compared with Blackburn's successive Premier League titles and Champions League titles, the results are much worse.
Or rather, compared to Blackburn, it is completely different.
Since he can't deal with those giants now, it's more than enough to deal with these so-called strong teams.
George was looking for Bayer Leverkusen in Germany.
What is Bayer Leverkusen? What honor do they have? No, nothing. Their history is a big void.
But they've had a really good season of results. But it's just good.
George is not eyeing his own disciple Balak, because Ballack has already been poached by Bayern. Giorgio is eyeing Bayer Leverkusen's Brazilian centre-back Lucio. Rio Ferdinand's departure has allowed George to sift through the world's defenders.
It's not that George hasn't thought about bringing in some talented central defenders and slowly cultivating them.
But time is running out. Because of the departure of the three absolute main players, George has been under a lot of pressure. George can only salvage the impact by finding some players who are not famous. It is not easy to bring in a strong and well-known central defender who can fight. Because most of them are the treasures of the major giants.
That's why George chose Lucio.
Lucio is not a big player for the time being. But the fame is not very small, and he has done very well at Bayer Leverkusen. On top of that, Lucio is the main central defender of the Brazilian national team in this World Cup. It can just make up for the shock of Rio Ferdinand's departure.
Lucio's biggest advantage over Ferdinand is estimated to be a little faster, and in any other aspect, there are still some shortcomings. Lucio, in particular, is an alternative among defenders and likes to come forward to assist.
This may have something to do with Lucio's background as a striker.
But of the players George is currently watching, Lucio is the best choice.
Bayer Leverkusen was reluctant to give up Lucio, but Lucio himself longed for Blackburn. They are also strong teams that have achieved good results in recent seasons, and Bayer Leverkusen are now in the same situation as Blackburn. Because in the transfer market, they are also losing important players one after another.
Ballack, the core of the midfield, and the big man Ze. Roberto has already been poached by Bayern.
Like Blackburn, he lost a lot of blood. But Lucio was still willing to go to Blackburn. Needless to say, Blackburn's past results are also due to excessive blood loss, but Blackburn and Bayer Leverkusen are different.
The two generals, Barak and Ze. Roberto, the two are very strong and famous. However, the transfer fees of the two are not as good as Blackburn's value of selling Rio Ferdinand alone. So the current Blake is holding a lot of money, and he can be described as aggressive in the transfer market.
Bayer Leverkusen, on the other hand, did not move at all.
Both teams have lost important players, but Blackburn have been aggressively recruiting. And Bayer Leverkusen, Lucio has no hope at all.
So Lucio, of course, is leaning towards Blackburn.
Leverkusen's top brass hesitated and didn't respond much. George didn't talk nonsense with them at all, and directly threw eight million euros. However, Bayer Leverkusen refused. Now Bayer Leverkusen want to make more money from Blackburn, who doesn't know that Blackburn are the team with the most cash in European football right now.
Having sold three absolute workhorses, George now has 90 million euros in his hands.
Bayer Leverkusen want Blackburn to pay for something.
But George doesn't care what Leverkusen thinks. Just threw 10 million euros and told Leverkusen and all European football clubs that Blackburn was not bad for money. We lost our main players, but we were able to make up for them.
Bayer Leverkusen hesitated, but still rejected George's offer.
This made George very dissatisfied. The value of players in the Bundesliga is already low, and the offer of 10 million euros for Lucio is already very high. It turned out to be dissatisfied.
However, George did not give Bayer Leverkusen a chance to consider at all, and once again offered 12 million euros. George's idea was to settle the battle quickly, and it was almost the end of July. Only by solving the problem of reinforcements as soon as possible can we be confident that we can devote ourselves to training.
This time Bayer Leverkusen really saw Blackburn's determination. It's all about not treating money as money.
Under this money offensive, Leverkusen soon fell in. In the end, George spent 13 million euros to bring Lucio from Germany to England.
The introduction of Lucio has reassured the somewhat restless Blackburn fans and players.
Although Lucio is only one-third of Ferdinand's value, his strength will not be one-third of Ferdinand's. As the main defender of the World Cup-winning team, Lucio's strength is still very affirmed.
Of course, the introduction of one Lucio, of course, cannot replace the departure of three main players.
This time George set his sights on the middle.
Deco is gone, and George is completely out of the midfield's rhythm control brain. Hmph, Real Madrid actually poached his own brain, so George poached Real Madrid's future brain. If you poach my current players, I'll poach your future players.
George's eyes were on Spain. It was placed in the same team with the word Royal in front of it, Real Sociedad.
What good player does Real Sociedad have, that is, Xavi, the midfield metronome of Spain and Real Madrid in the future. Alonso. This is a very perfect midfielder, the defensive strength is not weak, and the ability to control the pace of the game is the best in world football.
George thought evil in his heart. Wait until Alonso is bought and if sold to a Spanish club at a later date. When the time comes, Lao Tzu will sell Alonso to Barcelona and be angry with Real Madrid.
However, unlike Bayer Leverkusen, Real Sociedad is a small team, but they have a hard backbone. For their captain Alonso, it was a resolute defensive posture. The president of Real Sociedad to the coach told George that Alonso was not for sale at Real Sociedad.
Hearing Real Sociedad's assurances, George sneered in his heart.
In addition to the giants of Real Madrid and Milan, they dare to say who is not for sale. Just as Real Madrid said that Raul was not for sale, and Milan said that Maldini was not for sale, other clubs would never make an offer.
You Real Sociedad also dare to say who is not for sale. Isn't that a joke? Even Blackburn didn't dare to say who was not for sale.
So George didn't talk nonsense to them, and just smashed it with eight million euros.
Harvey. Alonso is now only two seasons old in La Liga, and at only 20 years old he is still very young. In fact, this season in history is the beginning of Alonso's glory, and his outstanding performance has attracted the attention of many big clubs in European football.
Harvey now. Alonso is also a rising Spanish star.
George directly smashed eight million euros is already a very high price. But Real Sociedad is still very resolute. But George didn't care.
The second time it was 11 million euros, and then privately began to contact Alonso. Compared to Real Sociedad, Blackburn Rovers are definitely a big stage. George believes Alonso is an ambitious player and will certainly not settle for a central role at Real Sociedad.
Eleven million euros is indeed a bit of a stun for Real Sociedad.
A hillbilly from England, who is so rich. A rising star who has just played in La Liga for two seasons has paid such a high price. Real Sociedad was a little more reserved.
Without saying a word, George threw another 14 million euros.
Real Sociedad couldn't resist this time. Fourteen million euros, that's a lot of money for a club like Real Sociedad. Small teams in La Liga are now generally struggling to survive. So Real Sociedad agreed to Blackburn.
George brought in two players in quick succession in a short period of time. And the value is not low. This made a lot of people quiet. They can see that George is now holding the money and telling the European football club that Lao Tzu is not bad for money.
