204 Shelling

Although Miranda was a little dissatisfied, George decided to return to England.

Harman and Sorin were both assignments given to Richard by George before he left England. Although Blackburn's squad has started to stabilize last season, George is still not reassured. After all, next season Blackburn will have to deal not only with the league, but also with the UEFA Cup.

George has won the League Cup and the FA Cup, so although it is not a chicken rib for the ambitious George, it is just a cup to train newcomers. But in the League Cup, George was not willing to give up easily. How to say that in the current European football world, the status of the League Cup is still very high.

In his first appearance in the UEFA Cup, George will be hoping to get a good result.

Therefore, players like Hamann and Sorin are not willing to give up. But I didn't expect that now it was not only Hamann who was kidnapped by Liverpool, but even Sorin was rejected by the FA.

George wants to go back to the club and take care of these things himself.

So without delay, George booked a ticket back to England.

"I'm sorry, George." I didn't expect Richard to come to pick up George in person, and he looked at George with an apologetic expression.

George shook his head. "It's none of your business. That's right, Richard. What the hell is going on with Thorin. I remember that during the year, Sorin seemed to be the main player for Argentina. Did the FA say why Sorin was not eligible for a labor certification? ”

Harman had no choice now, but Thorin was also denied, much to George's annoyance.

"The FA's answer is that the number of national team appearances Sorin has played in the first two years is not enough to meet the requirements of the labor certification." Richard reported to George as he drove. "The main problem is that Sorin was not able to go to the World Cup with Argentina last year. As a result, the FA believes that Sorin is not sufficient to meet the requirements for a labour certification. ”

George frowned after listening to Richard's words.

Speaking of which, it was a bit of a surprise that Sorin was not able to participate in the World Cup last year. Because in the previous World Cup qualifiers, Sorin was still a regular in the national team. Moreover, Sorin led the Argentine youth team to win the World Youth Championship as the captain of the Argentine youth team.

But I didn't expect that in last year's World Cup, I lost the Argentine national team.

Even if you don't make it to the World Cup, it shouldn't be. The hateful FA, conservative and backward is synonymous with the FA.

"Is there room for redemption?"

Knowing that the chances were slim, George asked Richard anyway.

Richard shook his head with a wry smile. George knows that Blackburn still don't have much influence in English football, and if it were Manchester United, would there be such a problem. George knew that Ferguson would never do the same.

Mom's, even if it's foreign. It also depends on your strength and influence. If Blackburn were Manchester United or Arsenal, the FA would never be embarrassed by such minor issues.

"Forget it. What else is there for the club. ”

"One more thing, Liverpool's offer to Hyypia?" Richard surprised George again.

"When?" George frowned again, Liverpool, you bastard, why do you always have trouble with yourself.

The front snatched Harman, and George was already very angry. Liverpool only offered £8 million, while Blackburn Rovers paid £10 million. But Harman wanted to join Liverpool, ignoring Blackburn Rover, and George couldn't help it. After all, Liverpool is one of England's top giants.

failed to win against Liverpool in the transfer market, which is Blackburn's own lack of charm and blame Liverpool. But now Liverpool turned out to be the idea of playing their own players.

"It was two days ago."

"How much is the offer?"

"Six million pounds." Richard had already heard George's anger. However, it is also understood that Haman has been robbed. Now it's the idea of beating his own players again, and it's strange not to be angry.

Six million pounds, and he Houllier dared to ask for it. Although Hyypia was not expensive when George bought it, it also cost George two million pounds. Hyypia has been working in the Premier League for a year and has been a fixture in Blackburn's backline this season.

Immediately Blake is going to play in the League Cup, how could George sell Hyypia at this important moment.

"Six million pounds? Six million pounds if you add Gerrard, I might consider it. George sneered and casually quoted a price. By the way, have you talked to Sammy? ”

George is actually not worried about Liverpool, as long as his side is tough, Liverpool will have no choice. George was worried about Hyypia. If, like Hamann, Hyypia thinks Liverpool have a better future and is hell-bent on leaving Blackburn, then it would be too much of a problem.

No matter how strong George is, the players whose minds are no longer in the club are not strong, George will not be forced to stay.

"I've been in contact with Sammy and he doesn't care. He wouldn't mind going to Liverpool if the club agreed to Liverpool's offer. But if the club are willing to keep him, he's willing to stay at Blackburn Rovers as well. ”

George laughed out loud for the first time today, and Hyypia meant it very simply. He's not a die-hard player, it's just a profession when he plays. That's easy to do.

"What's wrong with the other transfers?"

"Everything else is a small transfer, and it's pretty much done."

George nodded, the main transfer of this season is Harman and Sorrin. Now that neither of them could make the trip, George was blinded.

…………

"I really don't understand why even a player like Sorin can't get a labor certification, it's the joke of the century."

Blackburn's appeal was reinstated a few days later by the FA, who always upheld their original decision. Thorin is not eligible for a labor certification. This made George, who was already angry, unbearable, and began to bombard the FA in front of reporters.

"Labor certification, in the past, may have been adapted. But now that we are far behind the development of the Premier League, I think the FA should relax the conditions for labour certification. As the development of world football is concentrated in Europe, more and more good players are beginning to pour into European football. ”

"This includes not only South America, but also Africa and Asia, where football is growing faster and faster. There are more and more talented players in these places, but many of them are not qualified for labor certification. Is it because of this that all these talented players are pushed to other leagues? ”

"If the Premier League wants to develop, it has to relax the conditions for them. Let these talented players have the opportunity to enter the Premier League, so that the development of the English league will get better and better. ”

"But the FA has so far used backward labour certificates to choke good players from entering the English league."

When the reporter heard George's words, he was quite excited. It's a break from the league, and in the summer of '99, there are no major events like the World Cup and the European Cup. In addition, it is only June, and there are not many blockbuster transfers. So these football reporters just couldn't find good news material, and George blasted the FA to bring them the best news.

"Coach Levy, what kind of changes do you think the FA should need?"

Faced with the reporter's question, George answered without hesitation.

"If I say that the FA will abolish the labour certification system, I don't think the FA, even the higher-ups, will not agree. Labor certification still has a lot of role in ensuring the quality of foreign aid in the Premier League, but it is too rigid. ”

To say that the labor certification will be abolished is completely fanciful. Not to mention football, that is, in any field, if outsiders want to get employment opportunities in England, they need a labor certificate.

"I wonder if the FA can come up with a supplementary clause on the labour certification that can be opened to some special talented players." What George remembered at this time was a later provision, which was the special genius clause.

Speaking of the special genius clause, it was caused by Kaka's popularity at the beginning.

Kaka was a rising star in Brazil, and in fact, Ferguson's Manchester United was also one of the potential buyers at that time. At that time, Ferguson also admired Kaka very much, but later due to labor certification problems, Kaka was not able to come to England and went to Milan.

But what happened next no one thought that Kaka, who had been sitting on the bench in the 02 World Cup, soared to the sky after arriving in Milan. His arrival not only forced Rivaldo to leave Milan, but Rui Costa could only slowly leave Milan's main lineup.

Kaka's popularity shocked English football. And Ferguson was even more angry and bombarded the FA at the time.

Kaka's success was also a huge shock to the FA, which led to the creation of a special genius clause.

"Special daylong? Coach Levy, what do you mean by that special talent......"

"Extraordinarily long, as the name suggests, are those talented players. They are too young to meet the labor certification. But their future is limitless, and the Premier League should not exclude such players, but should bring them in. Missing out on these talented players because of labor certificates is not only a pity for English clubs, but also a regret for the Premier League. ”

"The FA can give the club one or two places a year with one or two of these talent clauses."

George has been holding back for a long time, this damn labor certificate, I don't know how many good players have been stifled into England.

Of course, the impact on English football is not big at the moment. But as the Premier League continues to grow, the problem will become more and more acute.

George vented his frustration at not being able to sign Thorin. But even venting is useless, and Sorin can't be brought in this summer. With 20 million pounds in his hand, he can't spend it, which is what George is now.

Harman was reluctant to come, and Thorin was unable to bring in. There are tens of millions of pounds left, and a good player should be bought.

Speaking of good players, George couldn't help but think of a player. However, this player is more difficult, so let's contact to see if there is any opportunity to introduce it. So I immediately picked up the phone and called Richard.

"Richard, get in touch with Juventus."
