Chapter 138 He is not Zidane

Speaking of Anderson Deco, it is by no means a day or two that George pays attention to him.When George was at Burnley, he was already preparing to buy Deco.

It's a pity that Deco couldn't get a labor certificate at the time, so George couldn't be introduced directly.But George had already sent someone to contact Deco and asked Deco to apply for Portuguese citizenship.Born in Argentina, Camoranesi's parents are Italian, and there is not much difficulty in applying for Italian citizenship.

But Deco is different, his parents are Brazilian.

Fortunately, Brazil was once a colony of Portugal.Most of the white people in Brazil were once Portuguese.The same is true for Deco. It is easy to find Portuguese ancestors by counting up.Therefore, George had already contacted Deco during the winter, and then helped Deco apply for Portuguese citizenship.

George's original idea was to let Deco come to Burnley to help Ballack sort out the midfield.Let Ballack not only be responsible for the control of the midfield, but also defend, but also participate in the attack to complete the shot.Barack is too tired alone, and George needs to find him a helper.The helper George found was Deco.

With Deco, Ballack's offensive ability can be fully released.

I just didn't expect that things would change so much.George left Burnley, but the connection between George and Deco has not been interrupted.It's just that the club he contacted has changed from Burnley to Blackburn.

After nearly four months of application, Deco finally applied for Portuguese citizenship.George was delighted that Deco would no longer have to apply for a labor certification.

This abominable labor certificate, this abominable labor certificate in English football!Needless to say, South America is a gold mine for players. With the development of African football, there will be many good seedlings in Africa.But just because of the labor certificate, I don't know how many talented players the English club has given up.

It's great now,
George asked Richard Flynn to quickly buy Deco, who is still an unknown player.What is even more tragic is that Deco was deceived by his agent last season and came to the unfamiliar Portugal.

At first Deco's agent told Deco that Benfica had taken a fancy to Deco.Deco would play in Benfica, but once he arrived in Portugal, Deco realized that he had been cheated.Benfica bought Deco, but directly threw Deco into his satellite club Alvirka.

Alvirka is a Portuguese second-tier league team, and Deco can only play in this club.At this time George found him and told him that George admired him very much.So Deco was very happy and told George that he was willing to play in England.

George was also happy, so he told Alan Levy later.Deco gritted his teeth when he lied to his agent, so when Alan Levy found Deco, Deco immediately changed his agent.In fact, Deco later changed his agent to the future Portuguese tycoon Mendes. This time George is just one step ahead.

Deco is not valued by Benfica now, so buying Deco is very simple and the price is very cheap.Blackburn in George's mind was slowly outlined.

…………

George slept soundly that night, took care of Pires, Deco and signed Gudjohnsen for free.Three joys come to the door, I don’t know how beautiful it is to sleep at night.

At noon the next day, George and Miku finally met.

Miku is tall, 1.8 meters eight.And the body is also very strong, although he is a technical midfielder.But the body is great, not too afraid of collision.Just right for playing in the Premier League.Coupled with delicate footwork, there will definitely be no problem adapting to the Premier League.

"Hello, Coach Levi." Micoud is not a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old, but an old player who has been in the Ligue [-] for many years.He spoke calmly and calmly. "Mr. Walker has told me what you said, and I think we can talk."

George shook hands with him, cursing inwardly.Grandma, I spent five thousand pounds. If you don't see me, who will you talk to.

"John, Mr. Walker may have told you, but I still want to tell you again." After several people sat down, George began to speak slowly. "From now on, Bordeaux is even stronger than Blackburn, or if you stay in Bordeaux, you have a better chance of playing in the European League."

George does not deny this, after all Bordeaux is a strong team in Ligue [-].And there are so many strong teams in the Premier League, it is not easy to squeeze into the top few in the Premier League to participate in the European League.

"But John, you need to know that the competitiveness of Ligue [-] in Europe has been declining. If you continue to stay in Ligue [-], it will not help your career. Zidane is only one year older than you. And he is already playing for Juventus, the giants of Serie A. As long as Zidane is still there, then you cannot gain a foothold in the national team. So leaving Ligue [-] is a must."

Miku didn't speak, but his expression was gloomy.Micoud is considered by many French footballers to play like Zidane. If there is a gap of five or six years between the two, then this is a very good evaluation.But the age difference between the two is one year, and Zidane is like a big tree, firmly covering the sun.

"Although Blackburn's record in the Premier League in the past two years is not good, Blackburn just won the Premier League championship three years ago. The foundation is still there, and the chairman of our club is willing to invest money in the club. So Blackburn can get good results of."

"As for the adaptation after arriving in England, I can tell you here. Our club has bought four players in France this season, so you don't have to worry about adaptation."

George knew that Miku's language skills were poor, and he could not master German for a long time in Bremen.He even refused to learn German, which is why George told him that Blackburn had bought a lot of French players.

Micoud was a little moved when he heard George's words, and it's not a bad thing to go to the Premier League.And as George said, the current European football is already a game of money.Although Blackburn has not performed well in the past two years, as long as Jack Walker behind him is willing to invest money, it is not difficult to rise.

When Jack Walker took charge of Blackburn, Blackburn was still a club in England's second-tier league.Different can make Blackburn become the Premier League champions.Nothing is a problem as long as you have money.

"John, don't you want to stay in Bordeaux forever? When other people talk about you, they will only say that you are very talented and play like Zidane. You don't want to go out and prove yourself, you also have strength. Tell people you Not Zidane's substitute, you can also create your own world."

George's words reached Miku's heart. For young players, it is an appreciation compared with Zidane.But it is an insult to Micoud, after all Micoud is only one year younger than Zidane.The two can be regarded as players of the same age group.

Miku gritted his teeth, George's last words completely moved Miku.In fact, Miku is willing to meet with George today, because he already has the intention of transferring.But the last sentence made Miku completely determined.

"Coach Levy, I am willing to transfer to Blackburn." Walker next to him frowned, Micoud was too impulsive.At this time, he shouldn't agree to George so quickly, he should procrastinate for a while, so that he can get a better contract for Miku at the negotiating table.

"You are welcome, John. You will not regret this transfer."

…………

Immediately afterwards, Blackburn offered Bordeaux £200 million to acquire John Micoud.

Bordeaux were furious when they got Blackburn's offer.Although Micoud has not yet become a player of the French team, he is the absolute core of Bordeaux.Blackburn wanted to buy him for only 200 million pounds, which is simply deceiving.

So they went back to Blackburn directly, telling Blackburn that Micoud is an important player in Bordeaux and it is absolutely impossible to sell him.

But soon Bordeaux received Micoud's transfer application, which made Bordeaux very helpless.They know that Blackburn has already done a good job as a player, which is a common method used in world football.But without evidence, they have nothing to do.

The day after Micoud handed in his transfer application, Blackburn immediately re-offered for £250 million.Although he knew there was nothing he could do, Bordeaux was still unwilling to let Miku go at such a low price, so he refused again.

George did not flinch, and immediately raised it to 280 million pounds.Then tell Bordeaux that this is the final price, Blackburn will not continue to raise prices.

At this point, Bordeaux knew that Micoud could not be kept, so they reluctantly agreed to Blackburn's offer.

At this point, George's transfer in France is over.In France, George recruited Makelele, Pires, Gallas, Micoud, and Sagnol and spent a total of 300 million pounds.
