Chapter 356 Bad Boys

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

George has already decided to introduce a striker in the winter.However, as the head coach, it is definitely impossible for George to investigate one by one.Of course, this kind of thing needs to be done for the people below.As long as George tells them his requirements, they will pick out players who meet George's requirements in European football.

Now Evan brought a bunch of player information and came to George's office.

For the introduction of a striker in the winter, George thinks a lot.The purpose now is to make up for Klose's vacancy, so the forwards introduced in this way cannot be those future stars.What George wants is a striker who can fight.

But Blackburn already has Klose and Drogba.

Needless to say, Klose is currently the number one striker in world football.Although Drogba's current strength is somewhat insufficient, as long as the current development trend is followed, he will definitely become a majestic monster in one or two seasons.

With these two forwards, George hesitated to buy another powerful forward.

Buy another one, how will the three forwards be arranged at that time.And a striker with Klose's strength will definitely not be cheap.

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

Suddenly George remembered something.

It was the loan of Panucci last season, and the effect was quite good.Because Panucci had a disagreement with the head coach at Inter Milan, George took advantage of it.In the process of Blackburn winning the Premier League last season, he played the role of a substitute player very well.

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

Now that a world-class defender like Panucci can be rented, can he miss it again?Perhaps among those European giants, there may be remaining forwards.

"Evan, are there any forwards who are not doing well in other clubs now? Those who are capable?"

Evan shook his head.

But suddenly remembered something, Evan told George in a low voice. "There is such a person, but..."

"Yes? Who is it?"

George just asked casually, but he didn't report any hope.After all, a powerful striker like Klose is not a treasure in any club.How can it be rented out.I didn't expect Evan to say that there are such people.

Evan saw that George was very interested, so he smiled bitterly and said, "Nicholas Anelka!"

"Anelka?"

George was taken aback.Unexpectedly, Evan recommended Anelka to himself!

Anelka has been in a bad state since leaving Arsenal.The relationship with players, fans, and coaches at Real Madrid is quite poor.In the end, he was kicked out by Real Madrid and went to Ligue [-].It's been a long time since I heard from him.

Even if there is news, it is negative news.

How bad Anelka's state in Real Madrid is, 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 broke into our yard."

Mom also asked nervously, "Who is it?"

The little boy said: "He is wearing Real Madrid No.19 jersey."

Mom said reassuringly: "Oh, the child is fine. This guy is trash."

Real Madrid NO.19 player is Anelka.Although this is just a joke, it is the most vivid metaphor for Anelka's state in Real Madrid.George himself thought about many people, but never about Anelka.

George didn't think about Anelka, not because of his lack of strength.

Anelka is a very famous bad boy in football.Of course, he is not a bad boy, it can only be said that Anelka's character is very withdrawn.No matter where he goes, he can't fit into the locker room.News about bad relations with players and coaches can appear in the media every day.

There are also Anelka's two older brothers, who are well-known vampires in European football.

For money, they would encourage Anelka to make trouble.George is absolutely unwilling to have this kind of player in his team.

"Can he be on loan? I remember when he went to France, he was worth more than 2000 million pounds?"

Although there is not much attention to Anelka.But after all, Anelka has been well-known in European football in recent years.It was bought by Wenger for 50 pounds, and when it was sold to Real Madrid two years later, it had already become 300 million pounds.

After staying in Real Madrid for a season without any performance, but when he moved to France, the transfer fee also exceeded 2000 million pounds.How many such players can there be?

£2000 million is definitely a high transfer fee in Ligue [-].

Of course, George doesn't know which club Anelka is in Ligue [-].Because George really didn't care about Anelka, George never thought that he would have any intersection with Anelka.

In George's mind, Anelka should be the top card in Ligue [-].How can they rent this kind of player?

"Think about it, that's Anelka. He went to Paris Saint-Germain and was able to stay for a season. It's very lucky. Now he doesn't have a good relationship with the club and his salary is high. If we want to buy They must be eager to play Anelka."

When Evan said this, George nodded with a smile.

Indeed, how could a player like Anelka be honest.If I'm being honest, it's not Anelka.

"Buy? I don't want to be taken advantage of. I'm not sure I can tame Anelka. But on loan?"

George tapped the table with his finger.

George now only wants to find a striker for emergency, so there is no need to buy it.Rent it?It can really be considered.

Needless to say Anelka's strength, being able to appear twice with a transfer fee of more than 2000 million pounds is the greatest affirmation of his strength.Unlike Klose, Anelka was an absolute genius.If it weren't for that weird temper, Anelka's achievements would be absolutely astonishing.

With only half a season, Anelka should have no other problems.

"Okay, Evan. He is in Paris Saint-Germain now?" Seeing Evan nodded, George continued: "You go and talk to them, we are going to loan Anelka for half a season. If there is anything Messy conditions, such as salary issues, etc. All agreed, the sooner the better."

"Okay, George. In fact, Liverpool are also talking about renting Anelka now."

George looked up, stunned for a moment. "Liverpool? Then we have to win Anelka. By the way, can Anelka play in the Champions League?"

This is what George pays more attention to.

After the Champions League, there are all strong teams, and George is not sure about Drogba alone.It would be even better if Anelka could play in the Champions League.

"No problem. Paris Saint-Germain performed poorly last season. This season, they didn't play European games at all. When they come, they can play in the Champions League."

George tapped the table.

"Okay. Then Anelka. It only takes half a season to fill Klose's vacancy. And there is no need to buy players, and there is no need to worry about the crowded striker in the future."

If you don't have to buy it, of course it is the best.To be able to rent a striker of Anelka's level, he still needs to buy players.

Of course George was still a little worried.

Anelka has a bad reputation. I am really worried about whether this kind of player can be tamed by himself.

After talking with Evan, Richard immediately flew to France and arrived in Paris.Talk to Paris Saint-Germain about Anelka's loan.George gave Richard a very simple task, no matter what method he used, he had to grab Anelka before Liverpool.

After Klose was injured, finding a replacement striker has always been a distressing thing for George.

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

…………

On December 12, Blackburn faced Middlesbrough at home.

Having learned the lesson of losing to Chelsea in the last game, George adjusted some tactics in this game.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.

The biggest feature of Drogba is his good health and strong impact.Especially because of the abnormal body, the header is extremely good.Also, although his shots are not as good as Klose's, they are less fancy and all shots are all powerful shots.

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

According to this feature, George used Drogba to suppress the opponent's defense.Prevent Middlesbrough's back line from pressing out, and then give space to midfield attackers such as Micoud, Pires and Duff.Of course, it also includes Deco who plugged in behind.

Indeed, with Drogba in the frontcourt, he immediately suppressed Middlesbrough's defense.Middlesbrough's defense simply couldn't get out.

This gives Micoud the most space in the frontcourt, and he can display his strength wantonly.

In the game, Micoud scored one shot and two passes, beating Middlesbrough [-]-[-].

But being able to beat Middlesbrough is entirely because Middlesbrough's defenders are too weak.Just frightened by Drogba.Just like Chelsea, Desailly and Terry are two people, defending Drogba, Drogba has nothing to do.

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

Both Liverpool and Arsenal won this round.But sadly, Manchester United lost another game.Ranieri's Chelsea beat Blackburn [-]-[-] at home in the last round, and this round even beat Manchester United [-]-[-] away.

Manchester United was completely thrown off.

Blackburn has accumulated 32 points, while Manchester United's points are only [-] points.With a gap of twelve points, Manchester United has completely withdrawn from the championship.
