393 Grass Mud Horse

Looking at this quote after quotation, George's head hurt terribly.

These bastards really treat us Blackburn Rovers like a random kneading club. Anyway, we're a Champions League winner, and we're not bad at the moment. Now that the World Cup is not over, many players cannot be contacted.

As a result, things including Piret and Makelle have been delayed. George had to hear their reply before he could decide.

Only Ferdinand was the first to return.

However, George did not see Ferdinand himself, but his agent.

Although his agent did not say it definitely, George already smelled something unusual. It seems that Rio Ferdinand is not very resistant to a move to Manchester United, or that he is ready to move to Manchester United. This made George very angry.

Historically, when Rio Ferdinand left Leeds United, it was because Leeds United lacked money and glory. At that time, Leeds United was already in financial difficulties, and Leeds United were not doing very well. In addition, Manchester United was a well-deserved hegemon in the Premier League at that time.

Only Arsenal is the only team that can have some impact on Manchester United's hegemony. Therefore, Rio Ferdinand's move to Manchester United is understandable.

But now it is clear that the situation is different. Blackburn is now not short of money and honor. Blackburn Rovers and Arsenal have been attacking Manchester United in recent seasons, and in the last five seasons, Manchester United have only won one Premier League title. Of course, Manchester United also has the glory of winning the Champions League.

It's obvious, though. Blackburn Rovers have been very strong in the past two seasons. Winning the Premier League and the Champions League, Blackburn have done quite well. Even if you stay in Blackburn, you can still get honors.

But looking at the attitude of Ferdinand's agent, George was a little desperate.

Could it be that the so-called wealthy family really has such a great charm?

Fuck the big guys, I hate the big guys. The poop of the giants. It's just that your ancestors used to be wide, what's the big deal?

Just as George was sulking himself, Ferguson's call came to George. George was furious when he saw that it was Ferguson's call. Grandma is a bear, why don't you retire when you don't die. I'm mad at me.

When he answered the phone, although he didn't say anything bad, his tone was not good.

However, Ferguson did not seem to hear George's unkind tone, and his voice was full of anger, and there was no difference from usual. "George, if we are not satisfied with our offer, we can discuss. We know each other so well, you can give me a good word. ”

Although the meaning of Ferdinand's agent is very simple. Either Ferdinand's salary will be significantly raised, preferably like Campbell. Or let Ferdinand go.

George, of course, disagreed with Ferdinand's terms. Campbell came on a free transfer, and his weekly salary at the time reached £70,000. Rio Ferdinand wants £70,000, so what about Klose, who is Blackburn's striker?

What about Miku, the heart of Blackburn's frontcourt? What about Pire, the big man on the wing?

Who of them contributed less than Ferdinand. It can even be said that Miku, Pire, and Klose should have surpassed Ferdinand's salaries. When the time comes, Blackburn's wage system will collapse. So on the issue of wages, George was not negotiable.

George could have raised Ferdinand's salary appropriately, but the rude request was firmly refused.

So it seems that a transfer is the only way out.

But George rejected Manchester United's first offer of 18 million pounds. Ferguson also looked down on Blackburn too much, and he really wanted Blackburn to eat. If talks fall apart, George really wouldn't mind keeping Rio Ferdinand at the club for three years.

Anyway, Rio Ferdinand and Blackburn still have three years left on their contracts.

And Manchester United's offer is also fast. The second time it was 23 million pounds. But George still didn't look at it and vetoed it directly. Historically, Manchester United spent 30 million pounds to buy Rio Ferdinand. Rio Ferdinand is now a two-time Premier League champion and a Champions League winner.

For less than 30 million pounds, George would never have agreed.

No, Manchester United don't have a third offer. Instead, Ferguson called George directly.

"Coach Alex Ferguson, that's all for now. I won't hide it. First of all, you have to know that I bought Leo for 12 million pounds. Leo's current strength alone is worth 20 million pounds. And in the past two years, Leo has won two league titles and a Champions League with the team, and he has rich experience and has seen big scenes, which should be worth a lot of money. ”

George became a businessman all at once.

Ferguson was a generous lord. To do business in European football at this time, you should do business with three clubs. One is Real Madrid, the other is Inter, and the remaining one is the current Manchester United.

"Again, it's unfair for this reason, but it's true. You and I are both managers in English football, and we should understand that the household register is also money. Leo is the main centre-back of the England national team, and these factors add up to how much Leo is worth. ”

George counted them one by one, making Ferguson on the other end of the phone smile helplessly.

This is like a young coach rising in European football. It's no different from a small vendor. In the end, Ferguson was really impatient that George was nagging there.

"All right, George. You just say, how much do you want? ”

Ferguson certainly knows Ferdinand's value. How could it be otherwise, the first offer was 18 million pounds.

"Coach Ferguson, if your offer is under 30 million, then we don't have to talk about it."

Rao is Ferguson, who has gone through countless storms, and when he heard George's words, he secretly scolded George in his heart for being a vampire. In today's European football, there are a few defenders who dare to ask for more than £30 million. George dared to scream.

Fortunately, Ferguson was already mentally prepared.

"George, I see what you mean."

Then after some digressions, Ferguson dropped the phone. George shook his head, it seemed that Ferdinand really couldn't save it.

Sure enough, the next day, Manchester United's offer arrived, 34 million pounds.

George saw that Ferguson was indeed on the road. If Ferguson had only offered £30 million, George would have pushed it back. At £34 million, that's a record-breaking value for a defender in world football.

But George still had some pity in his heart.

Ferdinand, in a few months, will be twenty-four. As a centre-back, he's not even in his prime. If you stay in Blackburn, then it will definitely be the pillar of Blackburn for the next ten years.

It's a pity, it's a pity.

Now Ferdinand is not in front, otherwise George really wants to ask, why? What's so good about Manchester United.

Have Manchester United won the league in two years? Did Manchester United have the upper hand against Blackburn Rovers in the past two years? Can Manchester United's results in the past two years compare to Blackburn's?

Why do you have to leave Blackburn.

But it seems that there is no more possibility. Rio Ferdinand didn't return to Blackburn at all, and his agent took care of everything.

George didn't embarrass him at this time. With a direct stroke of the pen, he agreed to Manchester United's offer.

………… Manchester United did not announce Rio Ferdinand's move anytime soon.

George reckoned that Ferguson should have made the announcement after the World Cup. Just avoiding the World Cup, you can achieve a certain sensational effect. Manchester United's results in the past two years have also been too sluggish, and it is estimated that Ferguson wants to use such a signing to rebuild confidence.

The World Cup continues.

However, at this time, the attention of the whole European media is not the upcoming World Cup final.

Instead, they are all denouncing, and South Korea is talking about the darkness of the World Cup. In particular, South Korea eliminated Italy and then France. And it is not glorious to win, and all the European media are denouncing them.

Among the European teams in this World Cup, the two most promising teams to win the World Cup are France and Italy. I didn't expect the two teams to be eliminated in such a sloppy way. How can you not let them be angry?

But this has nothing to do with George.

Although South Korea won the World Cup semi-finals very disgracefully, they relied on this semi-finals to make football popular in their country. After this disgraceful semi-final, South Korean football has developed rapidly. Soon, together with Yuben, he became the football hegemon of the whole of Asia.

Even Iran and Saudi Arabia, the two football powerhouses in West Asia that competed with East Asian football back then, had no power to compete with Japan and South Korea.

Han said that the final of the World Cup is no different from history. Germany and Brazil.

Germany's entry into the World Cup final was definitely a surprise to everyone. To be able to enter the final, in addition to not encountering many strong teams, it is relying on the ability of Kahn, Ballack, and Klose.

Ballack scored three goals as the heart of the midfield, and all of them were golden goals. On top of that, Ballack's playmaking in midfield was a masterful performance. Klose, on the other hand, was a German striker who scored seven goals before the final. Five goals in the group stage and two goals in the knockout round.

Ballack was also not banned for the World Cup final.

It's a very good game. George watched the whole live broadcast, and the German team was really tough. The strength is lower than Brazil, but it gives Brazil enough threat. Klose even received a pass from Ballack at a 45-degree angle in the World Cup final to break through Brazil's goal.

It's a pity that Brazil is still a step ahead. Ronaldo scored twice in the final as Brazil defeated Germany 2-1 to win their fifth World Cup title.

George looks good at this World Cup final.

However, George's favorite thing is Klose's performance. Klose scored eight goals in his first World Cup, and he won the World Cup Golden Boot with Ronaldo. Also, Deco won the World Cup as a main player in Brazil.

Scolari is very important to Deco. The Brazilian midfielder is a combination of Gilberto and Deco, with the famous 3R in front. Deco turned out to be in charge of scheduling the rhythm of the Brazilian national team.

George shook his head. I don't know what kind of salary conditions this kid Allen will propose for Klose and Deco.

Soon George did receive a call from Allen. But after listening to the first sentence, George couldn't help but say: grass mud horse.
