On July 16, Blackburn Rovers announced the signing of 20-year-old defender Leo from West Ham United for 12 million pounds. Ferdinand.
As soon as the transfer was announced, it already shocked the English football world, because the transfer fee was even more expensive than Arsenal buying Thierry Henry. Henry is also a striker who has scored three goals in the World Cup in France, and it is not surprising that he is worth more than 10 million pounds.
And football has always been about attacking players being expensive and defensive players being low.
Otherwise, Makelle would not have only taken an annual salary of 1.5 million pounds, and wanted Florentino to raise his salary, but Florentino did not agree. Real Madrid's "Zidane + Pavon" policy during the Galaxy period also shows how much Real Madrid despises defence.
But now Blackburn has bought a young defender for a sky-high price of 12 million pounds.
Some accused George of being crazy and spending so much money on a young defender. Some people think that George is showing Blackburn's ambitions.
Anyway, George's big deal completely shocked the English football world.
This is also the first time that George has made a transfer of more than 10 million pounds since becoming head coach. George, who came from a small club, has always been a representative of economy in English football. The players George bought were always very cheap.
The most expensive transfer in four years was the acquisition of Van Bronckhorst last year. That transfer didn't exceed £6 million and was already hailed as George's big signing.
I didn't expect this summer's transfer to be even more spectacular, with 12 million pounds as soon as it was sold. And it's a defender who was introduced.
The introduction of Rio Ferdinand immediately overshadowed all other transfers in the Premier League.
"The introduction of Rio Ferdinand shows the ambition of Coach Levy. When Coach Levy took over Blackburn, he faced everyone's doubts and told people that Blackburn's goal was not relegation. The end of the season proved the words of Coach Levy. Blackburn have been in impressive form under Levy and finished fourth in the Premier League at the end of the season and secured a place in the UEFA Cup. ”
"Judging by the summer transfer, Coach Levy is still ambitious. And Blackburn Rovers are also very ambitious, and insiders revealed that Jack. Walker has assured Levy of £20 million for this season. ”
George used this transfer fee to bring in Henning. Berg, Davao. Suker is two seasoned veterans. After Blackburn doesn't have to worry about Hendry, there is a lack of veterans in charge. Of course, George has always liked young talent, and he bombarded the FA for this. There is no shortage of young people in Blackburn's transfer list this summer, Sun Jihai, Didier. Drogba, Scott. Parker several young players. ”
"Of course, they don't add up to Rio Ferdinand's moves, which shows the ambition of Blackburn Rovers and Coach Levy. Spending £12 million to bring in an England new international, who is also the best England rookie defender in recent years. ”
"I think all the Premier League clubs should feel the chill a little bit. Coach Levy is definitely not a coach who is satisfied with his current results. ”
"What exactly is Coach Levy's goal? Coach Levy has already won the FA Cup and the League Cup at Burnley and believes the domestic cup title is not George's goal. Fourth place in the Premier League is not enough for George. So where is Coach Levy's ambitions? Is it a Premier League champion? Or the UEFA Cup winner? ”
The Sun was shocked that George had bought Rio Ferdinand. When analysing the transfers of major Premier League clubs in the new season, Rio Ferdinand's transfer is in the headlines.
Not only the major newspapers were surprised, but as the Sun analyzed, the major clubs of the Premier League were also surprised. Blackburn's performance last year was already very good, with one win and one draw against a strong Manchester United. And at the end of the season, he kicked Manchester United's title away.
From bottom at the start of the season to fourth place in the Premier League at the end of the season. Blackburn's strong fighting power has already worried all Premier League coaches. I didn't expect Blackburn to have no intention of stopping, and this season is another blockbuster investment.
Although four people were sold, six people were introduced. But the quality is completely different, unlike last summer's purge of many of Blackburn's main players, this time George purged all substitute players. With the exception of Gudjohnsen, who is good, the other three are all real bench players who haven't played much.
The number of times they played was almost as many as two slaps. They were so weak that George didn't dare to use them much.
However, most of the six players brought in this summer, although most of them are also on the bench. But the quality of the substitutions is different. Davao. Suker was the top scorer in the World Cup a year ago. HENNING. Berg was Blackburn's decorated player in winning the title that year, and won the FA Cup and Champions Cup with Manchester United.
These two can completely enrich Blackburn's style of play. Take Blackburn's bench to the next level.
As for the three little ones, the media can ignore them. But the managers of those clubs can't ignore it, don't look at the small transfers. But who doesn't know that George has a pair of fiery eyes, and Deco, who is now worth more than five or six million pounds, was not a player of hundreds of thousands of pounds at this time last year.
But it was none other than Rio Ferdinand, who shocked the club's coaches the most. Rio Ferdinand has a lot of quality and potential, which is unanimously recognized by the current managers of the major clubs in the Premier League. Rio Ferdinand is very physical, with his header and defensive skills at his feet being top-notch.
It's just that as England's best young defender in recent years, Ferdinand's value is definitely not low. If the bid is average, West Ham will not be able to let him go. Of course, the big clubs, for Ferdinand, who is still in his twenties, is in the inspection stage.
Now George immediately made a move and took Ferdinand for a whopping 12 million pounds. It's a declaration of war on the major clubs. How could it not be possible to shock those club coaches.
It's not like no one questioned George, though.
Mark, who had just been beaten by George. Once again, Laurentian stepped up.
"A fourth place in the Premier League, George was stunned. A young defender who has only been in the main team for two years, a defender who is only 20 years old, will not be able to reach 12 million pounds. I don't deny Rio Ferdinand as a great young defender in the Premier League at the moment, and of course the future defender for the England national team. ”
'But that's all for the future, and Ferdinand shouldn't have 12 million pounds right now. George must be crazy, really crazy. Even if you have money, you shouldn't be so bad. Twelve million pounds, how much can be done. Desailly's move to Chelsea was only £4.5 million. ”
For Mark. Laurenson looked very sorry, and George pouted disdainfully in front of reporters. Said something that stunned everyone: "Cut, I'm just rich!" I can spend as much as I like, what's the matter with him? ”
George was like an upstart, talking triumphantly to reporters.
Of course, with Ferdinand's transfer, Flores also made a transfer request. In fact, George really didn't want Flores to leave, although Flores was a little older, but it was very good to be a substitute. Coupled with being a decorated player at Blackburn, George hopes to retire at Blackburn.
However, Flores did not accept George's affection. Flores obviously did a good job as the main force in Blackburn, but after George came, he took it directly on trumped-up charges. George then established Cudicini as the main goalkeeper.
Let Flores be a substitute for Cudicini, and Flores will not be able to kill him. It's not because I can't be a substitute, but because I can't swallow this breath.
George briefly persuaded Flores, seeing that Flores's attitude was very resolute, so he nodded and agreed.
By now, Blackburn's transfer has basically come to an end. Blackburn was also at the time of the assembly.
Goalkeeper: Carllo. Cudicini (1); Bobby. Mims (12); Tariq (25).
Defender: Colin. Hendry (48); Sammy. Hyypia (4); Leo. Ferdinand (5); HENNING. Berg (15); Willie. Sagnol (2); William. Gala (3); Giovanni. Van Bronckhorst (23); Luciano. Zauri (24); Sun Jihai (32).
Midfielder: Damien. Duff (11); Robert. Piret (7); John. Miku (10); Anderson. Deco (6); Claude. Makelele (24); Daniel. Romedal (19); Cragg. Bellamy(39); Irving. Hargreaves (13); David. Dunn (8); Scott. Parker (16).
Forward: Miroslav. Klose (18); Didier. Didier Drogba (9); Kevin. Gallaher (14); Davao. Sooke (12).
Because Hendry has already started to work on the coaching staff, he took the initiative to give up the number and give the number 5 to Ferdinand.
There were only twenty-six players, just two more than last season. But George believes Blackburn will be far more effective this season than last season. First of all, most of the players have already had a season of Premier League experience, and the likes of Duff, Klose and Deco are all a year older.
Like Henning. Berg, Kevin. Gallaher, Davao. Su Ke, a player in his thirties, is a little less powerful when he is one year older. However, players such as Duff, Klose and Deco, who are only in their early twenties, are a year older for them, but it shows that they are more mature and stronger.
With the addition of Blackburn Rovers on the bench this season, it has completely changed from last season. Even if it is a substitute for Blackburn, George pulls out the strength of the lower teams in the Premier League.
George looked at his first-team roster and was very proud. Maybe this is the welfare of the traverser, if there is no such benefit, how can he bring in so many good players. If you can't get a good result this season, how can you be worthy of your identity as a time-traveler, and how can you be worthy of Jack, who has always supported you. Walker.
