29 Running Soldier

The English European Cup in 1996 was definitely a football feast, which was a beautiful era. Seaman, Schmeichel, Klinsman, Summer and other generations of swords are not old, and the generations such as Yero, Suk, Maldini and Schiller are in their prime. Zidane, Figo, Nedvid, and other 72 generations have become famous, and the four princes of Raul, Cruyvit and Piero have begun to emerge.

This European Cup is the European Cup held in England after the expansion of the army. In the subsequent selection of the English media, among the top ten goals of the European Cup, five of the 96 European Cups were listed.

Of course, these games have almost nothing to do with George, except for one person, Karel Popowski.

After more than ten years, when people talk about the European Cup in England, they will not forget Gascoigne's genius blow and Bierhoff's surprise in the finals. Of course, the most surprising thing is definitely the performance of the Czech team.

The best performance in the Czech team is not their captain Nemecek, nor the later Czech first star Nedvid, but this long floating Bobowski!

Before the European Cup, Bobowski was definitely an unknown player. Although it has performed extremely well in Burnley, it is a very strange name for the majority of fans.

But the Czech team began their magical journey. After losing two goals to Germany in the first round, the second game met Italy, the World Cup runner-up two years ago. Bobowski's pass after a sharp breakthrough on the right side helped Nedved open the door to victory.

In the third game, he defeated Russia 3-2. The Czech Republic qualified, and the Czech Republic's first goal was that Bobowski used a corner kick to help central defender Stoparek set the record.

In the quarter-finals, Bobowski's lightning breakthrough and light and easy shot became the only highlight of the game. This ball has also become the most classic goal in Bobowski's life.

In the semi-finals, Pobosky was stared by Lizarazu, but he still could not stop the Czech Republic from entering the finals. They took 6 to 5 penalty kicks, and Poboski and the Czech Republic entered the final together.

In the final, the penalty shot created by Bobowski almost won the second European Cup in the history of their motherland, if it hadn't been for Bierhoff. This time, the Czech team can create a myth like the four previous Denmark!

The better Bobowski's performance, the better George's mood. Because how high the price can be sold depends on Bobowski's performance in this European Cup.

Indeed, a European Cup made all Czech players popular in an instant. Countless strong European teams threw olive branches to them. Petr Kuba transferred back to La Coruña in La Liga, Nedvid transferred to Lazio in Serie A, Jan Sohoparek joined the Ligue 1 team Strasbourg, and Patrick Borg transferred to Liverpool.

And Bobowski has also become a player chased by countless teams. Now Bobowski plays in the English First Division. Before the end of the European Cup, Burnley had already received questions from countless teams.

"George, you won the bet." Ferguson laughed loudly on the phone. But, George. You can't sit on the ground and set a price of five million pounds. You can shout it out.

After receiving a call from Ferguson, George shouted out the price of five million pounds. But George and Ferguson both know that this is just a confrontation between them.

"Coach Ferguson, you should have seen Karel's performance in the European Cup." Although Ferguson is the boss of English football, George speaks slowly. Our club has now received no more than six quotations. If I hadn't made an agreement with you, I would have won the highest price.

Ferguson said cheerfully, "Well, George, I agree that Popowski is excellent. But you should know that we will never pay five million. You can tell me a reliable price."

"Coach Ferguson, then I'll tell you. Four million, it can't be lower. Four million pounds is the price that George can accept. Unlike other players, Karel scored more than 20 goals and more than 20 assists last season. I've adapted to the English League. I think Karel is worth four million.

Historically, the transfer price of Bobowski after the European Cup was 3.5 million. Now Bobowski has been exercising in the English League for a year and has performed quite well. George thinks this is worth half a million.

Ferguson on the other end of the phone meditated for a moment and quickly said, "Okay, four million." After saying that, Ferguson himself laughed out. George, I really regret that I didn't do it directly in winter.

"Coach Ferguson, I agree with Manchester United's contact with Karel." When George heard four million, he was already very happy. Four million people can do a lot of things.

"Should I thank you? Ha ha." Ferguson sighed on the other side. George, I'm looking forward to our meeting in the Premier League.

"I'm looking forward to it, too."

George and Ferguson had just finished talking, and soon Manchester United came into contact with Popowski. Of course, Bobowski is very happy. What else is there to say about joining Manchester United? Just three days after the end of the European Cup, Manchester United and Burnley announced that Popowski had transferred to Manchester United for £4 million.

At the same time, Darren Huckaby also transferred to Coventry for 1.2 million pounds.

At the same time, George also dealt with some other substitutes. Clements transferred to Millshar for £40,000, Robby Haggi to York City for £20,000, Michael Gash to Plymouth for £20,000, Smith and Levi McKinchester for £60,000. Fide.

Entering the League One, Burnley has sold seven players before buying them. He received a transfer fee of 5.34 million pounds.

............

Of course, so many people have been sold, and George is not idle. With so many transfer funds in hand, George stretched out his evil hands to the League One team and the League Two team.

First, Kevin Phillips, the main scorer, was poached from the Watford team, who played against Burnley in the League Cup last season. Phillips performed well in League One last season, scoring eleven goals for Watford.

However, under the leadership of Rodel, Watford's performance is a disaster. In the end, he was relegated to the second division. George bought the future Premier League golden boot from Watford for 250,000 pounds.

Then George's magic grip reached Birmingham, which is also a League One team, and bought Irish right-back Steve Fennan for 140,000 pounds. It should be said that Burnley, as a team that has just been promoted to the First Division, is not as attractive as Birmingham.

But it has been a year since Fennan joined Birmingham, but he has been unable to get attention in Birmingham. Although George did not promise the main position this time, it is far better than Birmingham not only in terms of treatment, but also in terms of the guarantee of the number of plays. In the end, Fennan agreed to join Burnley.

The third goal is Luton, who was relegated to the second division this year, from which George took Matthew Upson, who was only 17 years old, for 200,000 pounds.

After introducing the three players, George dug the 31-year-old veteran Solkamp from the newly relegated Millwall for 60,000 pounds. This veteran who can be left and right is George's substitute for Burnley.

Of course, these four people were just a simple repair, and it only cost Burnley £650,000. The really important transfer is yet to come.
