"George, this is the candidate I screened with Richard."

George has already decided to bring in a striker for the winter. However, George, as the head coach, must not be able to inspect them one by one. Of course, this kind of thing needs to be done for the people below. All George had to do was talk to them about his requirements, and they would pick out a player in European football who met George's requirements.

Now Evan has brought a bunch of player profiles to George's office.

George thought a lot about bringing in a striker for the winter. The aim now is to make up for Klose's vacancy, so that the strikers brought in cannot be those future stars. George wants a striker who can fight.

But Blackburn already had Klose and Drogba.

Needless to say, Klose is currently the most famous striker in world football. Although Drogba's current strength is a little insufficient, as long as the current development trend continues, he will definitely become a majestic monster in another season or two.

With these two strikers and another strong striker, George was a little hesitant.

Buy another one, and how will the three strikers be arranged when the time comes. And a striker of Klose's strength will certainly not be cheap.

Take a look at the transfer value of striker players in recent seasons. Including the value of players such as Ruud van Nispo, Crespo, and Vieri. George couldn't afford that high price. So George is very distressed now. Looking at the materials that Evan brought over, he flipped through them one by one.

Suddenly, George remembered something.

It was Panucci on loan last season, and it worked very well. Panucci was at odds with the manager at Inter and asked George to take advantage of it. In the process of Blackburn Rovers winning the Premier League last season, he played a good role as a substitute.

Panucci is doing really well. So much so that this summer George had an urge to buy Panucci.

Now that you can loan a world-class defender like Panucci, can you pick up any more leaks? Maybe there will be a surplus of strikers among the big clubs on the continent.

"Evan, have you ever had a striker who is not doing well at other clubs right now. Those strikers with quality? ”

Evan shook his head.

But suddenly he remembered something, and Evan whispered to George. "There is such a person, but ......"

"Yes? Who is it? ”

George just asked casually, but didn't really give any hope. After all, a striker as powerful as Klose is not a treasure in any club. How is it possible to lend out. I didn't expect Evan to say that there really are such people.

Evan was very interested in seeing George, so he smiled wryly and said, "Nicholas. Anelka! ”

"Anelka?"

George was stunned. I didn't expect Evan to recommend Anelka to himself!

Nicolas Anelka has been in a bad situation since leaving Arsenal. At Real Madrid, the relationship with the players, the fans and the coach is quite poor. In the end, he was swept away by Real Madrid and went to Ligue 1. It's been a long time since I heard from him.

Even if there is news, it is negative news.

How bad Anelka's form is at Real Madrid, a joke can show.

A little boy came to the bedroom in a panic and said to his mother, "Mom, it's not good, a stranger has broken into our yard. ”

My mother was also nervous and asked, "Who is it?" ”

The boy said: "He wears the number 19 shirt of Real Madrid. ”

The mother was reassuring and said, "Oh, the child is fine." This guy is rubbish. ”

Real Madrid's number 19 player is Nicolas Anelka. It's just a joke, but it's the most vivid metaphor for Anelka's form at Real Madrid. George himself thought about a lot of people, but never about Anelka.

George didn't think about Anelka, not because he wasn't strong enough.

Anelkana is a well-known bad boy in football. Of course, he is not a bad boy, but it can only be said that Anelka's surname is very withdrawn. No matter where he goes, he can't fit into the dressing room. News about bad relationships with players and coaches can appear in the media every day.

and Anelka's two older brothers, who are famous vampires in European football.

For the sake of money, they would encourage Anelka to make trouble. George definitely doesn't want to have that kind of player on his squad.

"Can he be loaned? I think when he went to France, he was worth more than 20 million pounds? ”

Although not much attention has been paid to Anelka. But after all, Anelka has been famous in European football in recent years. It was bought by Arsene Wenger for 500,000 pounds, and when it was sold to Real Madrid two years later, it had become 23 million pounds.

And stayed at Real Madrid for a season, without any performance, but when he moved to France, the transfer fee was also more than 20 million pounds. There can be several such players.

20 million pounds, which is definitely a high transfer fee in Ligue 1.

Of course, George doesn't even know which club Anelka is at in Ligue 1. Because George really didn't care about Anelka, and George never thought that he would have anything to do with Anelka.

In George's mind, Anelka should be the top card in Ligue 1. How can they go on loan with such a player?

"Come to think of it, that's Anelka. He went to Paris Saint-Germain and was able to stay honestly for a season, which is already a great blessing. Now he doesn't have a good relationship with the club and his salary is high, so if we want to buy Anelka, they will definitely want to. ”

When Evan said this, George also smiled and nodded.

Indeed, how can a player like Anelka be honest. If it's honest, it's not Anelka.

"Buy? I don't want to be wronged. I'm also not sure I'll be able to tame Anelka. But is it rental? ”

George tapped his finger at the table.

George just wants to find a striker for emergency now, and he doesn't have to buy it. Is it rental? It's really something to consider.

Anelka's strength goes without saying, and being able to appear twice for more than 20 million pounds in transfer fees is the greatest affirmation of his strength. Unlike Klose, Anelka is an absolute talent. If it weren't for that weird temper, Anelka's achievements would have been absolutely astonishing.

With only half a season, Anelka should not have other problems.

"Okay, Evan. Is he now in Paris Saint-Germain? Seeing Evan nodding, George continued: "You just go and talk to them, we're going to loan Anelka for half a season." If there is any mess of conditions, such as questions about wages, etc. Say yes to all, the sooner the better. ”

"Yes, George. In fact, Liverpool are also talking about the loan of Anelka. ”

George looked up, stunned for a moment. "Liverpool? Then it is even more important to take Anelka. By the way, can Anelka play in the Champions League? ”

This is something that George attaches more importance to.

After the Champions League, it is all a strong team, and George is not sure that Drogba alone. It would have been better if Anelka had been able to play in the Champions League.

"No problem. Paris Saint-Germain had a poor season last season and did not play European games at all this season. If you come, you can play in the Champions League. ”

George slapped the table.

"Good. That's Anelka. In just half a season, Klose can fill the void. And you don't have to buy players, so you don't have to worry about a crowded forward line in the future. ”

If you don't have to buy it, of course it's the best. To be able to loan a striker of Anelka's calibre, you still need to buy players.

Of course, George was still a little worried.

Anelka is notorious, and I am really worried about whether this kind of player can be tamed by himself.

After talking to Evan, Richard immediately flew to France and to Paris. Talk to Paris Saint-El about Anelka's loan. George gave Richard a very simple task, no matter what method was used, to get Anelka ahead of Liverpool.

After Klose's injury, finding a replacement striker has always been something that George has been frustrating.

Now that he had a goal, George's mind was immediately set on the game. After all, it's still a time when the schedule is relatively dense, and important games are coming one after another.

………… On 1 December, Blackburn Rovers faced Middlesbrough at home.

Having learned the lessons of the defeat to Chelsea in the last game, George tweaked a bit of tactics this time. In the last game, George used Drogba as Klose, but Drogba was not a striker like Klose.

George used Drogba in this game, but according to Drogba's characteristics.

Drogba's biggest characteristic is that he is in good shape and has a strong impact. Especially because of the perverted body, the header is extremely good. And although his shots are not as good as Klose's, they are less fancy, and his shots are all powerful shots.

Drogba's impact in the penalty area is definitely more than Klose's.

According to this characteristic, George used Drogba to press the opposition backline. Don't let Middlesbrough's back line press out, and then give space to the midfield attackers of Miku, Pire and Duff. Of course, this also includes the Deco on the back.

There was indeed Didier Drogba in front of him, who immediately pressed down the Middlesbrough backline. The Middlesbrough backline simply can't come out.

This gives Miku the most space in the front court to give full play to his strength.

In the game, Miku scored two passes and won 3-0 against Middlesbrough.

However, the victory over Middlesbrough was entirely due to the fact that Middlesbrough's defenders were too weak. I was just frightened by Drogba. Just like Chelsea, Desailly and Terry are two people, sandwiching Drogba, and Drogba has nothing to do.

Or is Drogba's attack too single. If you can pass and shoot like Klose, then it will be difficult to defend.

Liverpool and Arsenal both won this round. But the sad United lost another game. Claudio Ranieri's Chelsea beat Blackburn Rovers 1-0 at home in the previous round and won 3-0 away at Manchester United.

Manchester United were completely left behind.

Blackburn have 32 points, while Manchester United have only 20 points. With a 12-point gap, Manchester United has completely withdrawn from the title race.
