6 Unexplored places
"You're the manager who asked my son to play?" Yusuf stared at George with wide eyes. George looked at Youssef, then at the slightly obese Klose next to him, and shook his head. Because Yousuf is so handsome, much more handsome than his son Klose.
Yes, the striker George spotted with a stunning header was the seventeen-year-old Klose. Although the seventeen-year-old Klose is a little shy, his figure is also more obese than when he was in the World Cup in South Korea. But George recognized this slightly obese striker at a glance among everyone as Klose, the main striker of the German national team in the future.
If there are not a few stars who are late bloomers, such as Italy's Toney, Germany's Bierhoff, and Russia's Arshavin, these people are real late bloomers. But if there is another late bloomer after the new millennium, it is Klose. At the age of twenty, he was still playing in the business league, and it was not until the age of twenty-two that he began to make his mark in the Bundesliga. The 2002 World Cup made fans know this "header striker" with rough skills and clumsy ball, and after a short period of "excitement", K God fell into a low ebb, scoring few goals. In a general sense, it is believed that the skill level of players is basically capped at the age of 24 or 5, especially as a front-court attacking player, joining Bremen to replace Elton was supposed to be a lose-lose transfer, but Klose suddenly opened his mind in the Parrots Army and was out of control. The 27-year-old Klose showed a well-rounded skill set under Schaff, dribbling and passing, wearing the Golden Boot at the '06 World Cup, and even more unbelievably being crowned the Bundesliga's assist king, which really stunned critics and fans who previously thought he was rough and simple.
And Klose had a long professional life, and until the age of thirty-two he was the main striker of the German national team. Later, after transferring to Lazio in Serie A, at the age of thirty-three, he was still in Serie A. To see such a striker today, George was of course overjoyed.
As for Klose's father, Youssef, was also a player at the time, having played for Auxerre in France as a right winger. It's just that George didn't expect Yusuf to be so impatient, and his temper didn't seem to be very good. But it's far more handsome than George imagined.
"Hello, my name is George Levy. He is the manager of Burnley in the second division and I really appreciate the level of play your son. Your son's level is very high, and his future development prospects are limitless. He is destined to belong on the football pitch and I want to take him to England. George smiled and spoke to Yussef.
Yusuf ignored George's compliment, and said with a straight look: "Coach Levy, I used to be a player too. I know better than anyone what my son's current level is, and what you say only adds to my distrust of you. I just want to know why you want my son to play in England. ”
Now George understood the rigidity of the Germans, and he didn't even have the slightest politeness. Not caring about the interlocutor at all, George could only smile helplessly.
"In that case, then I'll just say what I think. Truth be told, Miro can be the main striker in England's fourth division at most. And they can only play forward in clubs that have no ambition, and can only play as a substitute in the third tier. Of course, at my club I can only be a substitute. Because my club's goal this season is clear, which is to get promoted. So I'm going to bring in a group of quality players, and Miro is a substitute in my plan. Since Youssef likes to go straight, George has no obstacles and speaks his mind. Klose is great, but that's for the future. Klose is not as good as many strikers in the third division at this stage.
Klose, who was on the side, heard George's evaluation and clenched his fists tightly. George noticed this little action and just smiled slightly. If you don't react to these words, Klose can't grow into a world-class striker. But Yusuf was calmer than he had been before, and looked straight at George.
"There have always been geniuses in this world. Pele and Maradona are geniuses among geniuses. I don't know if I've heard of Ronaldo, Ronaldo, who is now playing in PSV Eindhoven. When he joined PSV Eindhoven last year, he was only 18 years old and the transfer fee was $4.7 million. He's a genius, a young man who has become famous. Neither Evan nor Yusuf knew how George could suddenly say this.
"But there is also a kind of person who is a late bloomer. Miró is not a genius, nor can he become famous at a young age. If he wants to succeed, he can only use continuous efforts and sweat to train himself. Only then will he be a late bloomer. Miro's current strengths and weaknesses are obvious, Miro has good speed and explosiveness. Of course, the biggest advantage is the header, and the header ability is definitely the best among his peers. If Miro continues to improve his heading skills, especially his ability to grab points, he will definitely become a good striker. "George began to analyze Klose's characteristics, because he knew that Yusuf had been a player, so he would go through more words." But at the current level, he is just a striker who makes a living from headers, and may be able to be a main player in the middle and lower reaches of the top league. Because Miro's technique is too rough, there are also problems with passing coordination. But in order to achieve bigger and higher results, Miro must develop in an all-round way from now on. Passing in small areas, passing, coordination, and shooting should all be practiced. With five years of hard work, I guarantee that the new Klose will be in front of the world. ”
George is confident that Klose played in the amateur league until he was twenty-two years old and did not receive much formal training. That's it, and the later Klose performance is also obvious to all. Now George is going to give Klose an early introduction to the professional league and get a good football training.
"Coach Levy, can I trust you?" Yusuf suddenly looked up and asked George.
"I'm not going to be able to do it here. I won't let you down. ”

"George, I really don't understand what the hell you're messing around with. I can understand if you go to Germany to find players, but when you go to the Czech Republic, you look for someone. The Czech league also has good players? For nearly ten days, Evan followed George around Germany. I've been to Bayer Leverkusen's stadium and I've visited Dortmund's stadium. Eventually, I ended up in the Czech Republic.
The Czech Republic is a desolate place for European football, but soon people will get to know it. Because in next year's European Championship, the Czech national team went all the way to the final, which made the world realize the players of the golden generation of Czech Republic.
There are players such as Nedved, Poboski, and Smitchell who have shocked the European football world, and they will be known to the world after the European Cup. Nedved and Smitchell, who have long been named in the Czech league, George did not think of poaching them. After all, even if they can successfully convince them, Burnley really can't afford to pay for them. So George's target this time is Poboski, the right wing-back of the Czech national team at the European Championships.
When it comes to the Czech golden generation, the most regrettable one is none other than Bobosky. Poboski's full name is Karel Poboski, who made a name for himself at the European Championships. The 1996 European Championship belonged to the Germans and even more to the Czechs, from the lucky finalists to the extra-time in which the German was dragged into extra-time, and the blonde Poboski amazed Europe with a string of star-studded names. His slick break-through and sprinting on the right sideline was a weapon for the Czechs, and the classic moment of single-handedly breaking through the 10-finger pass against Portugal made the 24-year-old star famous overnight, and Ferguson couldn't wait to call him in.
However, after joining Manchester United, the decline in form due to injuries and the rise of David Beckham cost him nothing at Manchester United. He joined for 3.5 million yuan and was swept away after just one year and sold to Benfica for 2 million. The youthful Poboski would not have imagined that a trip to the Premier League would become a bleak memory for him. If Cruyff Jr., who had the same fate as Pobosky at that time, was not strong, then Pobosky was definitely unlucky.
Injuries have stayed with Poboski since then, and a glimpse of 1996 has almost become the swan song of the Czech's career. Thankfully, Poboski's return to home brought him back to the country and he was able to bounce back again at Euro 2004. Poboski was one of George's most regrettable members of the Czech Golden Generation.
Now Poboski is unknown in European football, and his reputation in the Czech Republic is also average. Although he was a member of the national team, he played in such a small team as Zzkovviktoria. In the 94-95 season, Poboski scored ten goals for the team, but still failed to get the call of the Czech giants. Pobosky has always been indignant about this.
But Poboski is still a little resistant to the call of the English second division. After all, in 1995, the English league was not as strong as the Premier League in the new millennium, and the status of the English league in Europe at this time was far lower than that of the leagues of Italy, Spain, and Germany. And it's not a team from the English top flight, it's from the English third division.
However, George used his own three-inch incorruptible tongue to fool Pobosky. Although the current Premier League is not as famous as Serie A, Bundesliga, and La Liga, it may not even be as attractive as the Eredivisie in terms of player attraction. But the strong development of the Premier League is visible. Since the establishment of the Premier League, the performance of Premier League teams in Europe has been getting better and better, and the Premier League teams have become richer and richer.
Burnley are a side in the English Second Division, but they are the newly relegated team and the favourites for promotion this year. And in the League Cup and FA Cup, there are opportunities to play against Premier League teams, as long as you can play well in the League Cup and FA Cup, there is still a chance to show yourself in front of the Premier League teams. Eventually, George's persuasion led him to come to England.
After getting Pobosky, George was in a good mood. With Ballack's midfield and Pobowski's speed on the right, Burnley's attacking power could certainly more than double.
When coming out of Zzkovviktoria, George took the initialed contract and smiled. "Evan, it seems that the attractiveness of our club is really problematic. It takes so much effort for a Czech international, but this trip is very rewarding. ”
"George, is he really that good?" Evan shook his head, or questioned George's choice, the Czech Republic also has good players?
George smiled at Evan and said, "Evan, you know what? I have a lot of footage in my room from the major clubs that I hired someone to find myself. I've been going around from time to time in the last few years, and the Czech national team can't ignore it. They have a lot of strong players and they are sure to surprise the world. ”
