139 Cleaning
The quadrennial football feast, George has no luck to enjoy this football feast.
George was busy in France for nearly a month before returning to England. The matter in France has been solved, but there are still many important things on the other side of the club. Since entering the World Cup, no one cares about George's news at all. All the attention of the English media is focused on the World Cup and on the England national team.
It's already July, and the World Cup has entered the quarter-finals. When George just returned to England, it was just after the match between England and Argentina.
At this time, there is only one focus of all media reports, that is, the one-eighth finals of England and Argentina. This game has many highlights, and it will be mentioned repeatedly by people for a long time.
This game has all the factors that have become a classic, especially the English media. In this game, Michael Owen scored a goal that shocked the world in the game and was included in the World Cup classic goal. Since then, an international superstar has been born. The nickname "Chasing the Wind" has also become popular all over the world.
Of course, in addition to Owen, more controversial figures also appear in world football. That is David Beckham, who later influenced world football in another way. David Beckham has been a rising star in British football in recent years and has begun to play the main role in Manchester United. He is also one of the 92nd generation of Manchester United.
On August 17, 1996, he made a 60-meter ultra-long-range long-range shot from near the midfield in the match between Manchester United and Wimbledon. His goal ranked third among the three most outstanding goals ever selected by senior football stars in 1998.
And on September 1, 1996, he played for the England national team. But Beckham can only be regarded as a famous new star in England at this time, and he is not very famous in world football. It is not even the main force in the England national team.
But he participated in the World Cup for the first time. In the group match with Colombia, he scored his first goal in the World Cup with a direct free kick in the 30th minute. This is also the first appearance of Bayer's Arc in the World Cup. With this goal, Beckham's position in the hearts of English fans has increased. It also laid the foundation for Beckham's main position in the England national team.
However, the sweet time did not take long. In the 1/8 final of the World Cup in France, Beckham was kicked off with a red card because he was angered by Argentine Simone, which indirectly led to England's final penalty loss. After the game, he was strongly condemned by domestic public opinion and became the "public enemy" of the whole UK for a while.
When George first returned to England, all the media and newspapers in England were condemning Beckham's red card. In their opinion, Beckham's stupid red card made England lose one-eighth in the final.
"Evan, take a look. Our newspaper is willing to engage in such a stupid thing. Even if Beckham is not sent off, we can win Argentina? George sneered at the English media.
Every time they go to the competition, the English media boast about how strong the England national team is. And every time the England national team returned, the English media immediately found a scapegoat and criticized it.
Of course, in this World Cup, Beckham became the unlucky guy. He was rejected by all the English media, newspapers and fans.
"George, don't say that in front of the media. This is not a joke." Evan Sawyer nodded. He is also not used to the fact that the English media blames all the blame on Beckham.
But this kind of thing is related to the self-esteem of the English people. England has many sworn enemies, but the biggest sworn enemies are Argentina and Germany. There is no problem to lose to any team. Losing to these two opponents is not allowed by English fans.
"I'm not stupid. But think about it, what do you think of us taking this opportunity to dig Beckham? George won't do that kind of thing that is harmful to himself. It's just that George is a pity for Beckham, what a good player. If it hadn't been for Ferguson's strong support, there would have been no later Beckham.
Evan smiled and of course knew that George was telling a joke. Beckham is not so easy to dig, and now although Beckham is scolded by thousands of people, his value is absolutely not low.
"How's the conversation going with Chelsea? I need money on my side. In France, George threw away more than 13 million pounds, which were all white money.
"Chelsea is only willing to pay 12 million pounds, and we hope to get 15 million pounds, which is frozen there. But there is news from Kevin Gallagher and Sherwood.
"Kevin Gallagher? Who is interested in him? In fact, it's good for Kevin Gallagher to stay. This man is old. And the style can completely complement Klose and Good Johnson, but there is no problem if the price is right.
Sherwood George must deal with it. After all, Blackburn midfielder George already has his own plan. And Sherwood is only twenty-nine years old, and he is still of golden age. It is impossible to be willing to drink coffee on the bench, and he may not be convinced by a coach as young as George.
"Tottenham Hotspur is willing to pay six million pounds to buy Sherwood." Evan didn't talk about Gallagher first, but about Sherwood.
"6 million pounds, you can consider it. Tell them that six million pounds are acceptable. Six million pounds is pretty good.
But looking at it this way, you can find out why Kilby sold Barak for eight million pounds. Eight million pounds is indeed a very high price for Barak. Sherwood's long-known midfielder is only 6 million pounds.
"Also, if Sutton can sell about 13 million pounds, we can talk about it." After George became the master, the meaning of cleaning became very strong. Chelsea must be waiting, but George can't wait. There are still many acquisition tasks.
"Good. Newcastle offered two million pounds for Kevin Gallagher.
"Two million pounds? Did they think we were beggars? Kevin scored 16 goals last season. George sneered, Newcastle is too... Even if it is doubled by four million pounds, George may not agree.
"They said Kevin was old."
"No need to talk about it, five million pounds. If you want to sell it, you can sell it. If you don't want to sell it, we won't sell it. Although Kevin Gallagher is old, if he can't sell it, staying in Blackburn can also play a role.
After the big purge, George still needs some old team members. Kevin Gallagher is very good.
Evan nodded. In addition to big-name players such as Sutton and Sherwood, Blackburn had many teams that he bought that year. Including many players on the bench, George got rid of them except for a few people.
Blackburn's performance in recent years is not good, and there are reasons for frequent changes of coaches, but there are also players like Blackburn who have lost their original enterprising spirit after winning the Premier League championship. Therefore, even if many teams have achieved good results, they will make a little change in the lineup. The reason is to keep the team fresh and enterprising.
This time, George has to clean up all the rest except for a few old players.
