Chapter 226 Bad News

"George, Sagnol is fine." After the game, Ferguson invited George to drink.

This is actually a tradition in English football.But there is one person who ignores this tradition, that is, the French coach Arsene Wenger.After Wenger entered the English football, he was like a different person, unable to truly integrate into the English football environment.

But such an outsider has only been in English football for two and a half years.But it has already won two Premier League titles in a row.He became a head coach with the same reputation as Ferguson in the Premier League.

"It's not very good. It may take a while to rest. Why, would you like to loan Neville to me?"

"You, hahaha." Ferguson pointed at George and laughed. "By the way, George, I heard that you and Wenger are proposing some special talent clause. Do you think it is really effective?"

George stayed today to discuss this issue with Ferguson.It would have been better if Ferguson hadn't thought of bringing up the topic first.

"Of course. I found a lot of good seedlings in South America and Africa. But these people can't get a labor certificate, and they don't know when they want to get a labor certificate. When they can get a labor certificate, they I don’t know how much it’s worth.”

"Our club, after all, cannot have a transfer fee of tens of millions of pounds every season. I can only think of this way."

George thought to himself, the emergence of the special genius clause is really because of Ferguson's anger.Because Kaka was not introduced back then, Ferguson was furious and criticized the FA.This is a big reason why the Special Genius Clause came into being.

And Manchester United is not particularly short of money, and now they can still call the shots in the transfer market.After Florentino and Abramovich are born, who can compare with Real Madrid and Chelsea in terms of money.Of course, including Barcelona, ​​Milan, and Inter Milan, their purchasing power far exceeds that of Manchester United.

"Special talent clause?" Ferguson said to himself while playing with the wine glass in his hand.

George smiled at Ferguson.George is currently known as the best young coach in England. Wenger has been in Arsenal for less than three years and already has two Premier League champions in his hands, but George and Wenger combined are not as influential as Ferguson.

Ferguson has been in English football for more than ten years and has led Manchester United to remarkable achievements.Not only the league championship, but also the Champions League last season.This is the first English team to win the Champions League since the English team was banned by UEFA.

Ferguson's current influence in British football is unmatched.If Ferguson also supports this proposal, then it can be regarded as a real heavyweight.

"George, you should know that the FA has always been conservative. It is very difficult for them to introduce a new policy."

George nodded.The most conservative and bureaucratic football organization in Europe is the FA.

"I don't expect them to completely let go of the labor certification system." George also took a sip, and then said with a smile: "I don't have much appetite. Give me one spot every season, and I'll be satisfied."

Ferguson nodded and did not continue the topic. "George, do you play horse racing?"

"will not."

"Very good, do you have time to go with me?"

"Not really interested in that."

Many people in British football like to bet on horses, including Ferguson and England's golden boy Owen.But George doesn't have much interest in betting on horses. It's okay to play and have a look once in a while.If you really want to go up and bet on the horses, there is no fun.

…………

After the game, it was just a simple drink or two.Although Ferguson didn't have a clear answer, George knew that Ferguson had agreed.As long as Ferguson agrees, with Ferguson's influence in English football, no one can ignore what he said.

Coupled with Wenger, the Premier League champion coach for two consecutive years, and George, the best young coach in England.

Of course, there are some coaches from other small clubs. The combined strength of these people is also something that the FA needs to consider.It might not be impossible for special talent clauses to come out a few years in advance.

But more important than this now is that George is going to determine Sagnol's injury.

"George told you good news and bad news." Evan said with a smile when he saw George coming.

"Evan, you are still in the mood to talk nonsense at this time. Tell me, what happened. How is Willy's injury?" George shook his head.At this time, Evan was in the mood to joke with George.

Although the loss to Manchester United was Blackburn's first loss this season.But compared to losing Sagnol's injury, George is most concerned about it.With 38 rounds in the league, it doesn't matter if you lose a game or two.Now that the main right back Sagnol has been folded for a game, this is what hurts George the most.

Seeing George's anxious look, Evan slowly opened his mouth.

"The bad news is that Willie's injury is serious." When Evan said this, his expression was very serious.As George's assistant coach, Evan certainly understands that the two full-backs play a great role in George's offense.Among the two full-backs, Sagnol, especially on the right, played a greater role.

"Then is there any good news?" George asked Evan with hope.

Evan shook his head.

"The good news is that Willie is not reimbursed for the season. The doctor said that it will take two months to resume training. Willie will be absent for about three months, and he will not be able to really come back until January next year."

George smiled wryly. "Could this be a blessing in misfortune?"

Sagnol will miss three months, which is really not good news. "Evan, come to my office, let's discuss it."

Sagnol's absence is a big problem.In his absence for more than three months, Blackburn will also need a new right-back to replace Sagnol.

In fact, Blackburn does not lack right back at all.Henning Berg, William Gallas, Owen Hargreaves, and Sun Jihai can all play right back.But no one's strength can compare with Sagnol.

Among these people, George first ruled out Henning Berg.Older, and although he debuted as a right back.But these years have been playing the position of central defender, and there are many problems in playing right back again.In George's lineup, the two full-backs require a lot of physical strength.Not only to let go, but also to participate in the offense, the current Henning Berg is obviously not suitable.

After that, Hargreaves was ruled out by George.Although Hargreaves can play the full-back position, Hargreaves is still a midfielder.It's the kind of stalking midfielder who is not as good as a real defender in terms of position selection.

Although Hargreaves is good as a right back, once he encounters a team that plays pass and cut, this position can easily become a breakthrough point.Even if Hargreaves is strong personally, but his position is unstable, he is easily broken by the pass.So George also ruled out Hargreaves.

Only Gala and Sun Jihai made George a little embarrassed.

"If Gallas is superior in terms of strength, Sun Jihai is a real right back in terms of position." Evan analyzed his opinion to George.

George nodded.Gala is indeed superior in terms of physical fitness and technology.But also Gallas is not a right back, although he can also play the position of right back.Therefore, if Gallas plays right back, there are still many problems.

Sun Jihai was born as a right back, but he is slightly inferior in strength.Compared with Sagnol, both offense and defense are inferior.

Thinking of this, George couldn't help laughing. If Sun Jihai was as strong as Sagnor, there was no need to worry.How could Sagnol become a main player, while Sun Jihai was a substitute.

"During training tomorrow, put Sun Jihai on top. Let's see the effect."

There is no other way now.Let's see how Sun Jihai behaves.

This trip to Old Trafford really lost everything.Lost the game and injured the main force again.George was very upset and slowly returned to his home.

But seeing his home, George was taken aback.Because the door was open, George's first thought was that there was a thief in the house.But then shook his head.Although it is said that the place where George lives is not the most upscale residential area in Blackburn.But here in Blackburn is also a very good place.

The security here is pretty good.It is unlikely that there will be thieves and the like.

George patted his forehead.Miranda also has a key to his home, so it should be Miranda.

Since Miranda graduated, she didn't have much time.George was very happy, so he opened the door and went in.Just after losing to Manchester United, Sagnol's injured and angry mood immediately improved a lot.So walked in with a smile and yelled.

"Miranda, Miranda..."

Before entering, George stopped and stared blankly inside.Of course the house is still so clean, absolutely no thieves came in.To George's surprise, it was the man sitting in front.George smiled mischievously.

"Uncle York, you are here. How are you doing recently?"

If it was before, seeing York must be in a very good mood.But seeing York now, George's heart is beating drums.Anyway, I slept with his daughter, and I haven't seen her for a year.When they met suddenly, George was very embarrassed.

Old York just nodded and stood there sullenly.

"You're here." Miranda came out of the kitchen, pouted after seeing George.He pointed at Old York with his eyes.

George saw it.Old York is here specifically.

"Uncle York, let's eat first." George asked Old York in a low voice.Old York shook his head, looked at George for a while, and then said slowly.

"No, George, you sit down first. I'll talk to you."
