234 Reserve the future
After defeating Spartak Moscow, Blackburn entered the top 16 of the UEFA Cup.
The opponents of the top 16 of the UEFA Cup have not come out yet. But three days later, it will be the third round of the FA Cup. Because Blackburn is a Premier League team. So like the League Cup, there is no need to play the first and second rounds of the FA Cup. You can play the third round of the FA Cup directly.
The opponent in the third round of the FA Cup is Port Vale Football Club from the League Two.
George is considering whether to give up the FA Cup or continue to play.
It's very simple to give up the FA Cup, as long as you continue to send the reserve team and substitutes to play together.
But it's a pity to give up the FA Cup. It's not that George is peeping at the FA Cup championship. George doesn't have that kind of extravagant. On the basis of playing the league and the UEFA Cup, only a stable strong team like Manchester United can consider it.
George felt sorry because he gave up the FA Cup. Then Blackburn's substitutes may not get a good exercise.
Now Blackburn has many young players, including Hargreaves, Parker, Drogba, Gala, Zauri and David. Dunn and Bellamy all belong to that category. If they only play the league and the League Cup, it will be difficult for them to get many chances from the main players.
In the past, I could play a dozen in the League Cup, but after entering the top 16, they were all strong teams. It's not easy to get time for the game, and it's even more difficult to get a chance to play in the league. Especially a few people in the midfield, especially so.
So George finally thought about it. The FA Cup can still take a few steps. Therefore, George sent substitutes in the first team. Although they are all substitutes, their strength cannot be underestimated. In the face of Port Vale, the League Two club, Kevin has been fighting for a long time. Gallagher scored two goals to show that he was still not old.
In this game, George gave almost all the substitutes a chance to appear, including Parker, Zauri and David. Dunn, these players.
After the third round of the FA Cup, there is still a week before the next game.

"George, is it here?" Mick. Hughes frowned and looked here.
Mick. Hughes is an old employee of Blackburn, second only to Richard in the transfer department. Flynn's character. At that time, he was also one of the most unwelcome employees for George to enter Blackburn. But after a season, Mick. Instead, Hughes became the most supportive of George.
George's achievements in Blackburn have completely conquered Blackburn fans. Of course, it also includes Mick. Club employees like Hughes.
Especially Mick. Hughes, as the veteran of the transfer department, admires George even more.
George's one transfer after another, let Mick. Hughes began to admire from the bottom of his heart.
At the beginning, George brought his direct family Klose to Blackburn and gave him a high weekly salary. This makes Mick. Hughes is very disgusted with George in his heart, which is a typical personal pocket. Use Blackburn's resources to feed Klose, and indirectly support Alan. Levy. Of course, George will also make money in the middle.
Although no one says anything, who doesn't know Alan. Levy's brokerage company also has George's shares. And it's not low. As long as the reporter investigates this kind of thing, he can't find it. Such a blatant use of his own brokerage company's players, let Mick. Hughes despised George very much.
I hate George, and of course I also hate Klose. Even if Klose was the main striker of Blackburn last season, Mick. Hughes still felt that Klose did not deserve to be the main force.
But in this renewal, George gave Klose a weekly salary of 12,000 pounds and hated Klose's Mick. Instead, Hughes felt low.
With Klose's current performance and contribution in Blackburn, Klose should get the top salary. Like Pires, Miku and Duff, he got 15,000 pounds to meet his current strength.
In fact, this renewal of the contract surprised many people. Because in their opinion, George's love for Klose and Klose's performance this season should be the top salary. But George did not give in and bittened 10,000 pounds. In the end, Blackburn and Allen made a step forward, and finally it became 12,000 pounds.
George's reason is very simple.
Unlike Duff, a player who has already been proven in the Premier League, and Pires, Miku, a player who has been proven in Ligue 1 and the Premier League, is also different. It is impossible for Klose to get the same salary as them just because of his performance in less than half a season.
George's performance in the renewal of the contract made many players feel that George is still very fair. He won't be unfair just because Klose is his direct line. It is also very good for maintaining George's prestige.
George didn't have much explanation for Klose. I just said something when I saw him.
"Look forward. As long as you perform well, salary is not a problem.
Clozer didn't do anything because of his salary. It is still a conscientious training and serious competition.
When changing the angle to see the problem, Mick. Hughes now thinks George is very fair. Although the salary given to Klose last season was a little high, it was George's vision.
It was introduced for free from Germany, but the time in Burnley was too short, and Klose had not exerted all his strength. Klose was introduced with a transfer fee of less than two million pounds last year. Now that Klose's performance in Blackburn, I believe that Klose will be worth more than 10 million pounds this season.
Think about it, Mick. Hughes is more and more admiring George. All football commentators agree that Klose is the main force of the middle and lower reaches of the League One, but George gave birth to the current hot striker in the Premier League.
"It should be here. The child just now said it was this blue house.
George looked left and right and nodded. This is the only blue house near here. But this house is too simple. George has been in England for so long and saw such a rotten house for the first time.
When George was in Burnley, Daniel. Morrison's house is much better than this.
This is not a house, but the house where George just came to Blackburn. The warehouse there is better than this house.
Mick. Hughes looked for the doorbell in front of the door. Look at Mick. George smiled at Hughes's movements. Look at this house, don't you understand that even a doorbell is a luxury in this house. So he came forward and knocked on the door.
"Who?" A rough voice sounded from inside.
Then someone opened the door. The first thing George paid attention to was not the man's appearance, but the dragging leg.
Because this person's one leg is lame, one turn and one turn.
Then I looked at this person. He was not tall, but he was definitely not low. There should be about 1.7 meters, because the slightly bent body can reach George's nose.
"You are..." The man in front of him looked at George and Mick doubtfully. Hughes.
"Hello. I'm George. Levy, he is Mick. Hughes. Is this Yang Feng's home?" George spoke to him in fluent Chinese. This surprised him and looked at George.
But in just a moment, his face changed. He asked George nervously. Is my boy in trouble?"
"Can we go in and talk about it?"
"Please come in!"
This family is indeed very poor, not ordinary. The man in front of him seemed to have been injured and limped to lead George the way. George didn't ask why he did this, although he was curious.
"Well, what's wrong with our boy?" He asked George carefully.
George shook his head with a smile.
"He didn't make trouble."
"Then you are..."
"I'm the head coach of Blackburn Football Club. When I passed by you, I happened to see your son play football. He is very talented, and if he plays football, he will definitely make great progress. Of course, if he continues to waste time like this, he will be stunned in a few years.
"My idea today is very simple. I hope your son can come to our club for formal football training."
"Playing football? My Xiaofeng?" He looked at George doubtfully.
George nodded. Yes. He is very talented. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to come here."
"Can my Xiaofeng really play football?"
Seeing this person asking, George was not impatient. Instead, I feel a kind of warmth. Only when you are very nervous about your child will you ask this.
"I can promise you."
"Are you the head coach of Blackburn?"
George nodded. It seems that this person doesn't pay attention to Blackburn. However, depending on the situation of their family, even eating is a problem. Where do you have time to watch football?
Seeing this person is still a little hesitant, George knows that he still has many concerns.
"I can assure you that your son is definitely a genius. But he needs professional training, otherwise his talent will be squandered in a few years. If you train at that time, it will be too late.
He thought for a moment and nodded slowly.
"Coach Levy, I will discuss it with my family in the evening."
"Ye-huh. If you agree with him to play football, take him to the club tomorrow. George stood up as he spoke.
Although George observed for an hour that day, he was very fast and skillful. But this is just George's opinion. He still needs to go to the club for special tests while creating a correct training method for him.
"George, you called me over today just to drive you." Mick. Hughes looked at George with a wry smile.
George shook his head.
"I'm asking you to see the environment of their home. If he has a good talent for tomorrow's trial, he will help take care of their family. See what simple jobs your family can do. This is good."
"You want to cultivate his feelings for the club from an early age."
"You don't understand. There is an old Chinese saying that the grace of dripping water should be rewarded with a spring. How much money can their family spend? The current small investment may be a big reward in the future.
