167 applause

Blackburn players celebrated and did not hide the media at all. Although no media appeared that day, the carnival was filmed by some reporters.

This set of photos caused an uproar the next day, and many media were sarcastic about George.

There are fans, media, reporters, football commentators, and many famous football players who criticize George.

"A victory made Coach Levy confused. But it is understandable that Blackburn won for the first time this season. The eleven rounds of the competition finally won a victory, and it is reasonable to celebrate. But Coach Levy seems to have forgotten that Blackburn is still the bottom team in the Premier League. At this time, what Coach Levy should do is not to celebrate, but to think about how to get out of the predicament.

This is quite polite.

Mark Laurenson has no face for George in the program hosted by the BBC. This is obviously inappropriate. As a head coach, George is completely unqualified. Drinking is common in English football, but a head coach actually celebrates with the players and then drinks together. What is the discipline of the team? What combat effectiveness can such a team have? No wonder Blackburn's performance is so poor now!"

"Although many people are talking about it, I also want to remind Coach Levy. Your team is still the most popular team to be relegated, and its ranking is still at the bottom of the Premier League. It seems that Coach Levy doesn't want to avoid relegation after winning a game.

As soon as George arrived at the door of the club the next day, he was blocked by a large group of reporters. George, who was in a good mood, curled his lips when he saw so many reporters.

Hearing the reporter's question, George smiled. The game was won. What's wrong with me celebrating? Can I still cry when our team gets three points? George sneered at the reporter's question.

"You journalists, if you have time to care about the Winter Olympics. I understand that you also need news, but even our party is in charge. It's really nothing to make trouble.

"But after hearing what you said, I may form a convention in the future. As long as the game is won, let's get together to celebrate. I think this is good."

George's answer made many reporters laugh and cry.

Then the reporter asked that George led the team to drink when there were only three days left in the next round. This is disrespectful to Southampton. In the twelfth round of the Premier League, Blackburn will face Southampton at home.

George, who had been smiling, looked at the reporter in surprise. What? You said we don't respect our opponents. How can we not respect our opponents? Although Southampton is a little weaker than us, I have never seen any opponents at all.

As soon as George's words came out, it made Southampton smoke.

The chairman of Southampton scolded George in the media. Then satirize George. I think our strength may indeed be a little worse than Blackburn, but our points are higher than Blackburn. I think the biggest factor here may be the reason of the coach. Coach Levy should reflect on himself.

George immediately responded, "I have only been a head coach for three years, and I have already won the League Cup and the FA Cup. I don't know how many trophies there are in Southampton's century history?

George is already the face of the Southampton Club, because there is only one FA Cup champion in Southampton's century-old history.

In this way, Southampton Club and George spit on each other before the game started. The media was excited, and of course no one cares about George leading the team to celebrate together.

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

On October 31, 1998, Blackburn played against Southampton at home.

Southampton is also a team with a hundred years of history, but the team's results are almost poor. The only FA Cup champion was won nearly 30 years ago.

Southampton currently ranks 18th in the Premier League and is also in the relegation zone. It is only a few points higher than Blackburn and Nottingham Forest, and it is also the most popular team to be relegated this season. Speaking of which, Southampton is the worst in the Premier League, whether it is offensive or defensive.

From the beginning of the league to now, Blackburn has played 11 rounds. In these eleven league games, Blackburn has seven away games and four home games. However, the home score is very average, and there is even a 1-0-8 humiliation from Arsenal.

And Blackburn fans have never liked George. In George's first home game, they tasted the boos of the whole audience.

Although with the support of Williams, the boos against George were weaker. But there are still a lot of boos for George. Every time he plays at Ewood Park, George doesn't feel at home at all.

In the twelfth round of the league, we will play Southampton soon. George was still a little nervous, but he was not afraid of Southampton. It's very difficult for the fans of Ewood Park.

After the last quarrel with Blackburn fans, George was even investigated by the FA. In the end, George did not make any drastic moves and did not suspend George. But George was still warned by the FA, and they hoped that George would not make extreme moves.

If you quarrel with your home fans, you will be banned. George is really going to be listed in history.

When the players warmed up before the game, George entered Ewood Park uneasily. Although the results of the last two games were good, George heard some sporadic boos at the moment he stepped into Ewood Park. This made George sigh helplessly.

"It seems that it will take some time for George to conquer Blackburn fans." Even the commentator heard some sporadic boos on the field.

But George is used to it. Compared with the boos of the whole audience at the beginning, George didn't care about this little boo at all.

"Did you hear the boo just now?" After the warm-up, everyone entered the locker room. George pointed out in the locker room and asked with a serious expression.

All the players under him nodded silently and were booed by the home fans. How can they bear it?

Many of them are no longer the young men who have just started their careers. They are also players with four or five years and six or seven years. It is very common to be booed and provoked by fans on the road. But it is really rare to be booed at home.

"I want to say that most of their boos are for me." George didn't hide it at all. Many of Blackburn's original players and Klose were clear. The feud between George and Blackburn was endless for three days and nights.

The newly transferred players also know that George used to be the head coach of Burnley, Blackburn's rival team. You can also guess one or two.

"But among their boos, it is also for you. Your poor performance in the first 11 rounds of the league is also a major reason. George's tone changed. But the fans, it's easy to deal with. If you don't get good grades, they will boo you. If the grades are good, they will naturally support you and support you.

"So don't worry about the boos of the fans, as long as our results are good. The boo will soon turn into applause.

"Do you want to hear the applause or boos from the home fans?"

"Of course it's applause!"

George clapped his hands. By the way, I also like applause. But applause can't be given to you for no reason. My request for you is very simple. I just want to win this game. Only when you win can you hear applause. Do you have the confidence to get applause?

"Yes! Yes! Yes!"

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

Since he is at home, George certainly can't be conservative.

And after entering Blackburn, George's playing style has become a tactic of controlling the ball in the midfield and oppressing the opponent. With the first victory at home, Blackburn launched a fierce attack on Southampton after the start of the game.

Soon Southampton could only retreat under Blackburn's suppression.

However, Blackburn was not a team that was helpless against intensive defense, although it was intensive defense. But in terms of defense, the English team is still not as good as the Italian team. And Southampton's original strength was poor.

In 23 minutes, Pires on the left broke through continuously with technology, and finally the Southampton defender had no choice but to pull Pires down. Blackburn got a free kick on the left.

"Pyre's performance is really excellent. Although he is not as fast as Arsenal's Ovimas, his technology is better than Ovimas." Seeing Pires's performance, even the on-site commentators were amazed. George's 5.5 million pounds is very cost-effective.

"It's Miku's free kick... Blackburn's high points have reached Southampton's penalty area... Pass, Haipia!"

Miku's free kick passed to the back point, and Hai Pia at the back point jumped high and shook his head hard to attack the goal. The ball was too tight from the goal. The goalkeeper just made a move and couldn't stop the ball from rolling into the goal.

"One to zero, it's less than twenty-five minutes now. Blackburn led Southampton 1-0 at home. The commentator of Sky TV is just a simple commentator.

But the live commentator at Ewood Park is not so calm. Blackburn has not scored at home because of the Premier League so far. This is Blackburn's first home goal of the season.

The live commentator has been holding back in Ewood Park for a long time. He explained several games, but he didn't see a ball. So when he saw Haipia's goal, the commentator was very excited.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!" His cheers echoed throughout the court. Sami Haipia, a Finnish player from the Dutch League, is already the backbone of Blackburn's defense. But he can not only defend, but also score goals.

If it is another home court, it must follow this goal and cheer with the commentary of the live commentator. But the Ewood Park fans did not respond enthusiastically to the commentator on the spot. Just like chatting before the game began, there was only a little applause.

George clapped his hands and made a pressing gesture. George is not satisfied with a ball at all. George wants more balls to offset the humiliation of 0-8.
