Coaching legend

Selling Defoe did not have a big impact on George.

Anyway, Blackburn mostly plays with a single striker. Drogba and Klose are both good single strikers. And George deliberately gave them a sense of competition.

Klose has been famous for a long time and has won the World Cup top scorer and the Premier League top scorer. Therefore, although he is very low-key, he also has his own pride. Facing Drogba's impact from behind, Klose is certainly unwilling to admit defeat.

And the same is true for Drogba.

Now Drogba is no longer willing to be a substitute for Klose. He also wants a main position, so the competition between the two sides is still very fierce.

George likes this kind of competition.

It is this kind of competition that none of them dare to be careless. It can better maintain their state. George can rotate them according to different opponents.

In addition, Arshavin can also play as a striker, so George has not thought about buying a striker.

But Hargreaves' departure and Sagnol's serious injury both need to be supplemented.

Hargreaves?

Although Essien can fill his position, it is impossible to ask Essien and Alonso to play the whole season. Now there is only Parker as a substitute in the midfield, and the midfield is still relatively empty. It must be supplemented.

And Sagnol's position is also missing now. There is only Sun Jihai.

Sagnol was seriously injured and lay in bed for five months. After five months, it depends on his recovery. And even if he comes back, no one can say how good he will be. Sagnol was seriously injured twice, who can be sure that he will not be injured in the future.

And with two serious injuries, there will definitely be problems with explosiveness and speed.

Therefore, it is imperative to add a right back.

For Hargreaves' replacement, George first thought of Cocu, Cocu of Barcelona.

Cocu is one of the best midfielders in the world. And Cocu and Blackburn's Van der Sar have a wonderful coincidence. Van der Sar and Cocu were born on the same day of the same month of the same year, and what is even more surprising is that they were born in the same hospital.

Cocu will be 34 years old in two months. Unlike Van der Sar, who is a goalkeeper, Cocu is a midfielder and is quite old. Barcelona thinks Cocu is old and has decided not to renew his contract. But George knows that Cocu is an old demon. After Cocu returned to Eindhoven, he was amazing under Hiddink.

He led Eindhoven to win the Eredivisie championship and entered the Champions League semi-finals consecutively. Whether in the midfield or in the center back position, he performed very well.

Even the later Dutch national team coach Van Basten valued Cocu very much in the national team. Cocu actually entered the Dutch national team at the age of 34 and became a starting player. It has to be said that Cocu's state is quite good.

And Cocu is an all-round player in the midfield and backcourt. George certainly likes such a veteran.

But when George just contacted Cocu, Cocu politely rejected George. Cocu has received a call from his old club, and Cocu is ready to return to his old club at the end of his career.

George can only helplessly give up the veteran Cocu.

Soon Blanco gave George a candidate. That was Carrick of West Ham United.

Carrick is another extremely outstanding midfielder trained by West Ham United's youth training camp. As early as the end of the 2002-03 season, West Ham United was relegated to the Championship under the leadership of relegation expert Rodel.

At that time, West Ham United's good players left one after another.

Defoe, Joe Cole, and Glen Johnson all left the club.

At that time, many Premier League clubs were interested in Carrick. But Carrick stayed at West Ham United. He wanted to lead West Ham United back to the Premier League. Unfortunately, West Ham United was not competitive and finally failed to upgrade.

Now many Premier League clubs are targeting Carrick.

George thought about it and felt that Carrick was still good and his price was low. The important thing is that Carrick is still an English player. After selling Defoe and Hargreaves in succession, Blackburn has fewer local players.

George also had this factor in buying Carrick.

George agreed to buy Carrick.

There are many clubs competing with Blackburn. The biggest rival is Tottenham.

At this time, George didn't care about Daniel Levy's face. He made a decisive move and bought Carrick, the midfielder, from West Ham United for three million pounds.

After adding Carrick, George felt it was still not enough.

He always felt that there were still some players missing in the midfield. But George was unwilling to buy players. So George turned his attention to Inter Milan.

Inter Milan is still known as the "star black hole".

Since it is a "star black hole", there are many big stars in the team. Some young players can't make it, and some old players can't find a place.

George is targeting the veterans.

Inter Milan's French veteran, Sabri Lamouchi. He is already 32 years old and is a very good defensive midfielder.

He just arrived at Inter Milan last summer. Unfortunately, he couldn't find any playing time at Inter Milan. Inter Milan is also unwilling to keep him in the team, but now he is old and there are no buyers. Therefore, Inter Milan can only choose to rent this player.

George took action.

Loan, this is the best result. So George immediately contacted Inter Milan, anyway, Blackburn and Inter Milan have had many exchanges with players in these years. So Inter Milan also agreed.

Although the negotiations have not been completely concluded, there are basically no problems.

Sabri Lamouchi will play for Blackburn next season.

The midfielder is finished, and George began to consider the right side.

Right back, this is a big problem.

George thought of many players, none of which fit his plan. At this time, Richard recommended a player, who is the main right back of the Brazilian national team, the champion of this America's Cup.

Maicon Douglas Sisenado.

George saw the name and patted his head. How could he forget this hero of Inter Milan's triple crown.

Maicon is only 23 years old now.

He just became a player of the Brazilian national team last year.

Okay, that's him.

Maicon is now a player of Cruzeiro in the Brazilian Serie A. Blackburn immediately contacted them, but did not expect Ferguson's Manchester United to be interested in him. But George believes Blackburn still has an advantage.

George called Maicon in person.

Although he didn't guarantee Maicon a starting position, he told Maicon implicitly. Blackburn now has a serious injury to Sagnol, so the starting right back position is vacant.

After receiving George's call, Maicon quickly agreed.

Maicon is still very cheap now.

Blackburn only spent 3 million euros to buy Maicon, the starting right back of the Brazilian national team.

After two players left, George has already introduced two players and loaned one player.

However, Blackburn's transfers are not over.

Richard recommended another player to George.

That is another talented central defender in European football. The main central defender of the Belgian giants Anderlecht is also the main central defender of the Belgian national team, the 18-year-old Vincent Kompany.

Kompany, the best player of the Belgian League in 2004, has attracted the attention of many giants in European football.

All the giants are already paying attention to Kompany, the young genius.

It's just that the defenders are different from the midfielders.

As long as the offensive players have talent, they will be snapped up by the European teams. Because as long as they have talent, the offensive players can ignore their age.

But the defensive players can't. In addition to talent, defensive players need experience.

How many Nestas can there be in the world?

So although many big teams pay attention to Kompany, no one has made a move. They are all waiting, waiting for Kompany to accumulate a certain amount of experience, preferably three or four years, four or five years later, they will make a move.

If Kompany's development is not good during this period, they will no longer pay attention.

But once the development is good, then Kompany will have strength and experience. Just buy it and use it directly.

Therefore, everyone is observing, and no big team has made a move in advance.

But George didn't wait.

What George wanted was a time difference. What he wanted was that the big teams were observing and there was no time to make a move.

George immediately contacted Kompany.

But Kompany still had many doubts. He was afraid that he would have no ball to play when he arrived at Blackburn, so George chose a compromise plan.

George negotiated with Anderlecht and was willing to pay to buy Kompany. But Kompany did not have to report to Blackburn immediately, but was loaned to Anderlecht for one year.

With such favorable conditions, Anderlecht certainly would not object.

Anderlecht is a Belgian giant, but it is a scum in European football.

They have no power to resist even the ordinary European top five league teams, not to mention facing a strong team like Blackburn.

The two sides bargained, and Blackburn quickly bought Kompany for 5 million euros.

Sold two players and got 35 million pounds. And the cost of buying Carrick, Maicon and Kompany was less than 10 million pounds. In the transfer market, Blackburn is considered to have made a profit again.

But don't look at the money made in the transfer market, in fact, the situation is still very serious.

Because Chelsea.

Chelsea is not only disrupting the transfer market now. If it is just disrupting the transfer market, then the problem is not really big. Anyway, Blackburn is strong now, and the age structure is quite suitable. As long as Blackburn takes a tougher attitude, even Chelsea can't do anything to Blackburn.

But now Chelsea is disrupting not only the transfer market, but also the salary system of Premier League players.

Chelsea, they use high salaries to attract players. Then they increase the salaries of players in the original team. All of a sudden, Chelsea's player salary has become the highest in the Premier League.

It was not obvious last year, but after a season, the impact began to appear. They began to drive the salary of players in the entire Premier League, which is the biggest problem. As the European champion team, Blackburn can't compare with the salary of Chelsea players, but at least it can't lag behind too much.

In this way, Blackburn has to spend more money on salary.

Chelsea, Chelsea.

Two updates today, sorry.
