363 Anelka
Recently, Blackburn has been doing a lot of good things. The whole club is full of joy.
After all, it is a football club. As long as it has good grades, everything is good. Blackburn now ranks first in the Premier League and has reached 12 points ahead of the second-place Arsenal. Under such a good situation, both the Blackburn club and the players are full of confidence.
If you can win the Premier League championship, how majestic it is.
This season, the prestige of Premier League hegemon Manchester United has completely disappeared. Now it ranks fourth in the Premier League, which is nearly 20 minutes away from Blackburn.
Liverpool, who was in good shape at the beginning of the season, fell sharply because Hollier entered the hospital. In terms of victory, it was more than a month ago.
Only Arsenal is still chasing Blackburn. But it is already 12 points behind Blackburn.
Blackburn is not Newcastle, and Arsenal is not Manchester United. George will never let his opponent turn over with a 12-point advantage. Last season, Manchester United was in such a hot state at the end of the season, and they were not able to really catch up with Blackburn. Now that Arsenal wants to catch up with Blackburn, no one is optimistic about Arsenal.
Even the London media, they don't think Arsenal can catch up with Blackburn.
In such a good situation, how can everyone be in a bad mood?
But George is not so relaxed.
Because George still has to solve a big problem. That's Anelka.
Although Anelka performed well in these two games. They all set the first record for Blackburn. But George can't just be satisfied with this. Because it is obvious that Anelka broke through the opponent's goal by relying on his personal strength in these two games.
George doesn't need such an Anelka.
The opponent in these two games is very weak. So we can win.
But once you face a strong team, there can't be such a good thing. So George needs Anelka's true heart. At least at the end of the loan period. But Anelka, George hesitated.
Is this Anelka?
Mom's. Even Wenger and Bosk have nothing to do with him. George doesn't think he is smarter than the two of them.
And Anelka is different from other bad guys.
Bad guys like Patton and others are full of scandals and scandals. It's not a "strong annihilation case", it's a "injury case". These people are all brainless people who have completely problematic surnames.
After the game, they always go to drink, pick up girls and fight, which is common. Therefore, there are gossips and scandals on them every day, and those paparazzi follow them all in the news.
But Anelka is different from them. Anelka's news is all about conflicts within the team.
What's the conflict with the head coach, disagreement with teammates, salary increase, that's all. On the contrary, there are no off-site scandals. Anelka is a typical otaku. How should this kind of person be persuaded? George is really not sure.
But you have to give it a try.
For good, there are still ten days left before the next game, and George has enough time to talk to Anelka.
At the end of the day's training, when he was about to disband, George called Anelka. Nicholas, come to my office."
Anelka's face was expressionless, as if George didn't feel anything when he was told.
George went to the office and waited for Anelka, and he was also thinking about how to talk to Anelka. Anelka lingered, and George waited in the office for a while before seeing him come in.
"Sit down."
Looking at Anelka, who was silent, George shook his head.
"Bear by the way, how did you feel about winning the Champions League last time?"
George didn't open the pot. Anelka was very angry when he heard George's words. Speaking of which, when Anelka went to Real Madrid, he was completely confident. At that time, Anelka was only 19 years old, but he was already worth more than 20 million pounds.
Anelka is also complacent.
It's a pity that Real Madrid won the Champions League that year, but it has nothing to do with Anelka.
Anelka thinks it's George's humiliating him.
However, George didn't seem to see Anelka's expression and continued, "But speaking of which, the Champions League champion did not belong to you. Didn't you think about winning your own Champions League?
Anelka was stunned.
Champions League champion, what is this? This is the highest honor of the European Football Club.
"Nicholas, if you stay in Paris Saint-Germain, you will never have a chance to touch the Champions League champion in your life. But we Blackburn have the strength to win the Champions League. Have you ever thought about Blackburn playing football?
"You mean, I will transfer?" Anelka hesitated.
George nodded.
"It's too wrong for you to be Saint-Germain in Paris."
George looked at Anelka and his face changed several times. I know that Anelka is indeed dissatisfied with the French A.
"Nicholas, many people say that you like money." Anelka looked up at George and didn't understand why George was so straightforward. Actually, I also like money. You may have heard that my salary is the highest of the Premier League head coach. I'm not afraid to tell you that my annual salary is much higher than yours.
Anelka's weekly salary is only £40,000 now, which is much less than George's. George's weekly salary is nearly 60,000 pounds.
"But I dare not feel guilty. Because I am eligible for such an annual salary, I have brought four championships to the club in three seasons. There are the Premier League champion and the UEFA Cup champion. So I think I'm worth the price. The same goes for the players."
"The value of players contributing to the club is 40,000 pounds, so the weekly salary I give will never be less than 40,000 pounds, and it is normal to pay as much as you contribute."
Anelka didn't expect George to talk about money so much in front of him.
Many people say that Chinese people suffer a lot. Then the English are a group of people who set up archways as bitches. On the surface, they all pay attention to the so-called gentlemanly demeanor and disdain to talk about money. It's like talking about money.
In fact, there are no people in the world who don't love money.
One of the most criticisms of Anelka by the British football media is that he is greedy for money.
But George casually talked about money in front of him.
"It's normal for players to like money. After all, your career is so short. It's normal for you to make more money with your own efforts.
Hearing this, Anelka's eyes lit up.
"Nicholas, you have also seen our results this season. I hope you can come under me and continue to play, but it depends on your performance in this loan. If you perform well, I will introduce you in the summer. And I will never be stingy in my salary.
"Thirty thousand, forty thousand, fifty thousand, if you can show my satisfactory answer, even if it is sixty thousand pounds, I will never hesitate. Now it's commercial football. Why do players who don't make money play football for you? So I only look at your performance, and I don't care about the other statements of the media. As long as you perform well, nothing else is a problem.
"Would you like to come to me to play football?"
Anelka was very satisfied with George's words.
Because among the head coaches Anelka has met, only George told Anelka that it is normal for you to perform well and get a high salary. There is nothing more normal for players to make money by playing football.
But Anelka did not answer directly.
"I would like to play at a higher level of the league."
George is already very satisfied with this answer. So I nodded.
"Okay, Nicholas. That's all for today, and I will pay attention to your performance. I hope we can continue to cooperate next season. Go ahead."
Looking at the departing Anelka, he shook his head.
George never thought about buying Anelka. George doesn't like this kind of troublesome player, although he is very talented. What I said today is just for Ann Anelka's heart.
If Anelka doesn't want to play again in the Premier League, it is absolutely impossible.
But George has absolutely no idea of buying Anelka.
If it hadn't been for Klose's injury, George would not have been willing to deal with Anelka.
............George doesn't know what Anelka thinks.
However, in the training match the next day, Anelka was very active. Although he is still very lonely and doesn't talk much. But in the training, it is very positive. In the previous training, Anelka was always in the front. After others passed the ball, he was very independent.
But George saw it in today's game.
Anelka will also withdraw and take the ball, and sometimes he will cooperate with people.
Anelka is a genius.
As long as he is willing to cooperate with the players, there will be no problem. Or the French Trident in the front court, the cooperation of Pires, Miku and Anelka is completely dazzling. George looked at the sidelines with a happy smile.
That's it.
George is very happy. The conversation with Anelka is still useful.
On January 12, Blackburn faced Charlton at home.
Just more than 20 days ago, George had played Charlton. At that time, he was tied by Charlton on the road, which made George regret. George will never miss this game.
Sure enough, at the end of the game, Blackburn swept Charlton 4-0 at home. Revenge with an arrow more than 20 days ago.
Anelka was very active in the game, scoring a goal in the first and second half.
After the game, not only George, but also the whole Ewood Park went crazy.
Why?
There is also a highlight of kick-off at the same time. Like more than 20 days ago, it was a match between Liverpool and Arsenal.
In the first half of the season, Arsenal defeated Liverpool.
It's a pity that they lost both sides in this game. Arsenal were tied by Liverpool one-to-one at home. Needless to say, Liverpool was nearly 20 minutes away by Blackburn. Arsenal, the club that closely followed Blackburn, reached 14 points behind Blackburn after this round.
Ewood Park is like celebrating the Premier League championship.
They believe that Arsenal can't catch up even if they kill them.
