183 Sudden applause
When George appeared in Ewood Park, he always had a serious expression.
This is not to say that George is serious, but that George was scared by the boos of Ewood Park fans. If George's expression changes a little, then so many shots in the audience will not let George go.
So George simply flat-faced in Ewood Park, so that even if there is any change in his expression, he can't see anything.
"Hello, Coach O'Reiley." George was the owner, so he stretched out his hand early in front of him.
"Hello, Coach Levy."
Looking at George's young face, O'Aleley was jealous. At the age of 30, he is already the head coach of the Premier League club.
But O'Leiley didn't know that George also envied O'Leiley. Don't think David. O'Leiley was George. Graham's assistant coach succeeded Graham as the head coach of Leeds United.
David. O'Leiley, like many coaches, is a coach who plays football. He is very famous when he plays football, and he spends most of his time playing for Arsenal. Since appearing in Arsenal's first team at the age of 17, he has made a total of 722 appearances for Arsenal.
722 games are held by Arsenal's appearance record. More than a decade later, no player from Arsenal can break this record. And it is estimated that it is unlikely that any player will be able to break this record in the future.
O'Leary, who is praised as Spider-Man by Arsenal fans, is a legendary player of Arsenal. He won two FA Cups, two League Cups and two league championships for Arsenal.
George envied O'Leary because his coaching career was so lucky. As soon as he became the head coach, he met the glorious moment of Leeds United. At this time, the Leeds United youth team is full of young talents, and the Leeds United boss is willing to invest money.
Although Peter. Leedsdale's last adventure gave Leeds United a huge disaster. But at this time, Lizdale is a very generous chairman. It can be said that you can give whatever you want.
George started his coaching career from Burnley and spent all three years in the lower league. This is the first time to coach a Premier League team, and it took half a season to gradually get a name in the Premier League. As soon as Leedsdale became the head coach of Leeds United, Leeds United's performance was very fierce. So far, Leeds United has ranked fourth in the Premier League.
The two of them are not familiar with each other, so they just say hello.
It's just etiquette. After saying hello, the moment I was about to turn around, a huge applause suddenly broke out in the Blackburn Stand. Ewood Park has the Darwin Stand, the Riverside Stand, the Blackburn Stand and the Jack Walker Stand, which can accommodate 31,367 spectators.
The Riverside Stand is often prepared for away fans, while the Blackburn Stand is the stand where Blackburn's loyal fans are.
The applause came inexplicably and suddenly. Both George and O'Leiley looked up at the Blackburn stands.
"George- Levy!" George- Levy!"
Suddenly, George's name sounded from the Blackburn Stand. They are like singing and shouting. But there is nothing else, just a certain melody, only George's name.
They just kept shouting "George. Levy!"
Their shouts stunned George. I was as surprised as I heard the boos of all the fans. George didn't understand why they suddenly changed their attitude.
O'Leiley didn't expect that anyone in British football doesn't know that George is unpopular in Ewood Park. George and Blackburn fans even had a record of swearing in Ewood Park. And in the first home game he coached, George was absolutely unique when he was booed by the fans. I didn't expect to see another attitude of the fans today.
Blackburn stands, that's Blackburn's most loyal fan. With their cheers and applause, the coach has basically won the hearts of Blackburn fans.
George's face showed a smile for a moment, which was really unexpected.
The Blackburn player who was preparing to kick off on the court also turned his head unexpectedly. Even many reporters at the scene adjusted the camera to the Blackburn Stand.
"Haha, what did we hear? This is Blackburn fans shouting George's name!" Even the commentator is quite unexpected. This should be the first time that George has received applause from home fans at home. Half a season, I don't know how long George has been waiting for this applause.
Is it because Blackburn's performance during this period has made them so satisfied? There is only one reason George can imagine.
In fact, what George didn't know was that George led Blackburn to beat Burnley 4-0 at the Tefmore Stadium. After the game, Evan humiliated Burnley with five fingers. This made Blackburn fans very relieved.
They watched the game in front of the TV and knew how George was booed. So after George returned to Blackburn, those Blackburn loyal people gave George the highest cheers. If you are against and booed by Burnley, we will welcome it.
Sometimes it is really difficult for the fans to understand that George did not receive such cheers at home when he won six consecutive victories some time ago. But when they see Burnley fans booing George, they are defending George instead.
We Blackburn fans boo our coach can, you Burnley? Humph!
A match with Burnley made them change their attitude.
But for whatever reason, George is very happy. Not only George, but also the Blackburn players on the court are quite excited. To be honest, they haven't experienced any home feeling this season. Today, this game has a home atmosphere for the first time.
The home atmosphere is very necessary.
Unlike before, as long as Blackburn players get the ball, the fans will applaud. As soon as the Leeds United fans get the ball, the home fans will boo.
Ewood Park is not a big stadium, but the stadium with a capacity of 30,000 people has an atmosphere that is no less than those big stadiums.
The players are very excited and their performance on the court is getting better.
"Deco... Boyer's ball was broken again. Deco's passing organization has performed incisively and vividly in recent games. Many media commented that when the Premier League transfer this season, Deco was at the top. But in this game, it was found that Deko's defense was not weak.
I really didn't expect Deke to steal continuously in the back position.
Deko's excellent performance made Hargreaves next to him much easier. Hargreaves only needs to defend Smith. In the face of Smith, Hargreaves gave full play to his stalking ability. Stick to Smith and don't let Smith get the ball easily.
Smith, who is only 18 years old, is too uncomfortable to play this game.
As George thought, young players are easily encouraged. But they are also easy to fall into irritability and can't calm down.
Smith is like this now, because he is really impatient to be entangled by Hargreaves. Boyer, including the midfielder, is getting more and more unbearable because he can't get the ball. In fact, at this time, what Leeds United needs is a veteran to come out to stabilize the army.
After all, Leeds United doesn't need to be so anxious in the away game. It should be Blackburn, who plays at home. But Blackburn was not in a hurry, but made the Leeds United players impetuous. This is a common problem for young people.
Unfortunately, Leeds United is now an older player with only goalkeeper Nell. Martin and Lucas. Radbay, two people. One of them is a goalkeeper and the other is a central defender. There is nothing to do about the current loss of midfield.
Although Blackburn is also a lot of young players, including Duff and Hargreaves, two young people under the age of 20. But Blackburn is currently an experienced player at the core of each line.
Including Haipia and Van Bronckhorst on the guard line, and Mikku and Pires in midfielders. They are all players who have been fighting in their respective leagues for many years. Compared with the Leeds United players who have just entered the first team, I don't know how rich the experience is.
So according to George's words, they didn't just play fast with Leeds United. Instead, it uses skilled technology and cooperation to control the ball in the midfield. After dissipated the spirit of Leeds United, the attack suddenly accelerated. This kind of fast and slow play makes Leeds United very uncomfortable.
In the 27th minute of the first half, the ball kept passing between Deko and Miku, and Pires occasionally came to help. Boyer and Ribeiro in the midfield are quite depressed, and it is really difficult to grab the ball.
Miku got Deco's ball again in the front court, suddenly turned around to Ribeiro, and then passed it to the right. He changed his position with Duff, and Pires, who came to the right road, overtook Ian in an instant. Hart got the ball very comfortably on the right side of the penalty area.
Miku, who had a lot of back passes in this game, suddenly accelerated and then passed the ball, which caught Leeds United's defense off guard.
After entering the penalty area, Pires had more choices. In the face of a few shakes of young Woodgate, Woodgate lost his center of gravity. Then he gently passed it to the vicinity of the penalty point, and the following Miku shot directly. Martin was not given any chance to react at all.
One to zero, John. Miku! This is Miku's fourth goal in Blackburn, and Miku, who has adapted to English football, is getting better and better.
The on-site commentator is not so calm.
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!!!"
"John-Miku!"
"One to zero, we are already in the lead."
"Cheers, our hero Miku!!!"
If it was before, Ewood Park was just a sparse applause. But this time it was different. With Miku's goal, the whole game burst into loud cheers. One after another, John. Miku!" The cheers.
Miku has scored four goals this season, and this is the first time he has received such cheers. So he raised his hands and turned around. Then he opened his arms and faced Pires, the assist. Pires also ran to Miku, and then picked up Miku.
Blackburn players are very excited, not only because of the lead. It's more because it's the first time I feel so clearly about my Blackburn players. In the past, when I went to Ewood Park, it was like someone else's home. Today, they finally feel that this is their home court.
George also waved his fist very excitedly on the sidelines. Only in such a home can I feel the excitement of scoring a goal.
