Chapter 208 Generous

On July 7, Blackburn announced the signing of the 16-year-old defender Rio Ferdinand from West Ham United for a price of 1000 to 20 million pounds.

As soon as this transfer was announced, it shocked the English football world, because the transfer fee was even more expensive than Arsenal's purchase of Henry.Henry is also a forward who scored three goals in the French World Cup, and it is not surprising that he is worth more than 1000 million pounds.

Moreover, football has always been that offensive players are expensive, while defensive players are cheap.

Otherwise, Makelele would not only hold an annual salary of 150 million pounds, and wanted Florentino to raise his salary, but Florentino would not agree.Real Madrid's "Zidane + Pavon" policy during the Galacticos period also shows how much Real Madrid despise defense.

But now Blackburn actually bought a young defender at a sky-high price of 1000 to [-] million pounds.

Some accused George of being crazy, spending so much money on a young defender.Some people think that George is showing Blackburn's ambition.

Anyway, George's generosity completely shocked the English football world anyway.

This is also the first transfer of more than 1000 million pounds since George became the head coach.George, who was born in a small club, has always been a representative of thrift in English football.The players George bought have always been very cheap.

In four years, the most expensive transfer was the introduction of Van Bronckhorst last year.That transfer did not exceed 600 million pounds, and it has been hailed as George's generous signings.

I didn't expect the transfer this summer to be even more astonishing. The first move was 1000 to [-] million pounds.And it was introduced as a defender.

The introduction of Ferdinand immediately overshadowed all other transfers in the Premier League.

"The introduction of 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 is not relegation. The end of the season proved what Coach Levy said. Blackburn Under Coach Levy, the state is amazing, and at the end of the season, he won the Premier League No.4 and also won a place in the UEFA Cup."

"Judging from the summer transfer, Coach Levy's ambition is still there. And the Blackburn club is also very ambitious. Insiders revealed that Jack Walker guaranteed Coach Levy a transfer fee of 2000 million pounds this season."

"With this transfer fee, George has already introduced Henning Berger and Dave Suker, two experienced veteran players. This will save Blackburn from worrying about the lack of veteran players after Hendry. Of course, George always likes young players. Talent, he even bombarded the FA for this. There is no shortage of young players in Blackburn's transfer list this summer, such as Sun Jihai, Didier Drogba, Scott Parker and several other young players."

"Of course they don't add up to Ferdinand's transfer, which makes people see the ambitions of Blackburn and Levy coaches. Using 200 million pounds to introduce a new England international, is also the best England new defender in recent years."

"I think all the Premier League clubs should feel a little chill. Coach Levy is definitely not a coach who is satisfied with the current results."

"Where is the goal of Coach Levy? Coach Levy has won the FA Cup and the League Cup at Burnley. I believe that the domestic cup championship is not George's goal. The Premier League No.4 cannot satisfy George. Then Where is the ambition of coach Levy? Is it the Premier League champion? Or the UEFA Cup champion?"

The Sun was shocked that George bought Ferdinand.When analyzing the transfers of major clubs in the Premier League in the new season, Ferdinand's transfer is among the headlines on the front page.

Not only the major newspapers were surprised, but as analyzed by The Sun, the major clubs in the Premier League were also surprised.Blackburn's performance last year was already very good. Facing the powerful Manchester United, it turned out to have one win and one draw.And kicked away Manchester United's championship at the end of the season.

From the bottom at the beginning of the season to No.4 in the Premier League at the end of the season.The strong fighting power shown by Blackburn has worried all Premier League coaches.I didn't expect that Blackburn didn't mean to stop at all, and this season is another heavy investment.

Although four people were sold, six people were introduced.But the quality is completely different. Unlike the cleaning of many of Blackburn's main players last summer, this time George cleaned all the substitute players.Except for Gudjohnsen's good strength, the other three are real bench players who haven't played many games.

The number of times they played can almost be counted with two slaps.They were so weak that George didn't dare to use them much.

But the six people introduced this summer, although most of the players are also positioned as substitute players.But the quality of the substitutes is different.Dave Suker was the top scorer in the World Cup a year ago.Henning Berg was the heroic player who won the championship for Blackburn that year, and even won the FA Cup and Champions League with Manchester United.

These two can enrich Blackburn's style of play.Let Blackburn's bench lineup strength to a higher level.

As for the three little guys, the media can ignore them.But the head coaches of those clubs can't ignore it, don't look at it as a small transfer.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 what shocked those club coaches the most was Ferdinand.Ferdinand is very strong and has great potential. This is unanimously recognized by the current coaches of major clubs in the Premier League.Ferdinand has excellent physical fitness, and his header and defensive skills are top-notch.

It's just that as England's most outstanding young defender in recent years, Ferdinand's worth is definitely not low.If it is a normal bid, it is impossible for West Ham to let him go.Of course, the wealthy clubs are in the investigation stage for Ferdinand, who is still only in his 20s.

Now George immediately made a move and won Ferdinand at a sky-high price of 200 million pounds.This is a declaration of war on the major clubs.How could it not shock those club coaches.

However, it is not that no one doubts George.

Mark Lawrence, who had just been beaten by George, stood up again.

"A Premier League No. 20, George is dizzy. A young defender who has just been the main force for two years, a 1000-year-old defender, is impossible to reach [-] two million pounds. I don't deny Ferdinand's excellence, He is also the best young defender in the Premier League at the moment, and of course the main defender of the England national team in the future."

"But those are things in the future. Ferdinand shouldn't have 1000 or 1000 million pounds now. George must be crazy, really crazy. Even if he has money, he shouldn't waste it like this. 450 or [-] million pounds, How much could be done. Desailly went to Chelsea for £[-]m."

Seeing Mark Lawrenson very sorry, George curled his lips in disdain in front of the reporter.He said something that stunned everyone: "Cut, I am rich! I can spend what I like, so what does it matter to him?"

Like an upstart, George spoke triumphantly in front of the reporter.

Of course, with the transfer of Ferdinand, Flores also made a transfer application.In fact, George really doesn't want Flors to leave. Although Flores is a bit old, it is very good to be a substitute.In addition, he is still a meritorious player of Blackburn, George hopes to retire at Blackburn.

But Flores did not accept George's favor.Flores obviously did a good job as the main force at Blackburn, and after George came, he won it directly on trumped-up charges.Then George established Cudicini as the main goalkeeper.

Let Flores serve as Cudicini's substitute, Flores will not do it even if he is killed.It's not because he can't be a substitute, but because he can't swallow this breath.

George briefly persuaded him, seeing that Flores' attitude was very firm, so he nodded in agreement.

By now Blackburn's transfer is basically over.Blackburn also arrived at the moment of assembly.

Goalkeepers: Carlo Cudicini (1); Bobby Mims (12); Tarek (25).

后卫：科林.亨得利（48）；萨米.海皮亚（4）；里奥.费迪南德（5）；亨宁.伯格（15）；威利.萨尼奥尔（2）；威廉.加拉（3）；吉奥瓦尼.范布隆克霍斯特（23）；卢西亚诺.扎乌里（24）；孙继海（32）。

中场：达米恩.达夫（11）；罗伯特.皮雷（7）；约翰.米库（10）；安德森.德科（6）；克劳德.马克莱莱（24）；丹尼尔.罗梅达尔（19）；克拉格.贝拉米（39）；欧文.哈格里夫斯（13）；大卫.邓恩（8）；斯科特.帕克（16）。

Forwards: Miloslav Klose (18); Didier Drogba (9); Kevin Gallagher (14); Dave Suker (12).

Because Hendry has already started to serve as the coaching staff, he took the initiative to give up his number and gave the number 5 to Ferdinand.

The number of players is only 26, which is only two more places than last season.But George believes that Blackburn's combat effectiveness this season far exceeds that of last season.First of all, most players already have a season of Premier League experience, and people like Duff, Klose, and Deco are all one year older.

Players in their 30s, like Henning Berg, Kevin Gallagher, and Dave Suker, lose a little bit of strength when they are one year older.But players like Duff, Klose, and Deco, who are only in their early 20s, are one year older for them, but it shows that they are more mature and stronger.

Coupled with Blackburn's substitute this season, it has completely changed compared to last season.Even if Blackburn is a substitute, George's pull out is the strength of the lower reaches of the Premier League.

George looked at his first-team roster and felt very proud.Maybe this is the benefit of the traveler. Without this benefit, how could he introduce so many good players.If you can't achieve 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 Walker who has always supported him.
