211 Arrogance or strength
George, who is in a good mood, came to the press conference and answered the reporter's questions.
"Coach Levy, before the season, did you tell the media that your goal to participate in the League Cup is to win the championship? Is it true?" At the end of the press conference, the reporter in front of him stood up and asked George.
George looked at the reporter with a smile. Although the meaning was almost the same, it was no longer what George meant.
George really doesn't want to give up the League Cup, but he has always euphemistically stated that his goal is to win the League Cup. I have never directly said that my goal is to win the League Cup. The reporter asked deliberately, of course, hoping to get a good news material.
George understands the reporter's intentions, but he is in a good mood today. So I didn't hide it and answered cheerfully.
"Yes, my goal this season is to win the League Cup. Participating in the cup is a failure except for the champion. Since we have participated in the League Cup, I will take away a champion.
George's words completely suppressed these reporters.
George is really George. Although the gold content of the League Cup has decreased, there are still many strong teams participating. Including Ajax, Parma, A Coruña, Kaiserslautern and other teams. Even Serie A giant Juventus will participate in the UEFA Cup this season.
If those who are eliminated by the Champions League are added, the level of the teams that enter the League Cup will be improved. At that time, countless strong teams will flood into the League Cup.
Even Juventus dare not shout that the UEFA Cup is their own. Does George dare to shout?
They know George's big mouth very well. He has done so many times in England. I didn't expect George's big mouth to go to Europe soon.
I don't even like the Daily Telegraph, which usually doesn't have a holiday with George. Criticize George in the newspaper. After winning a game, George began to get carried away. George is so arrogant that he is really not afraid of becoming a laughing stock in the end. Not to mention Blackburn, even Juventus dare not say that this season's UEFA Cup is in their own pocket. However, George himself has long been an alternative laughing stock in English football. George is thick-skinned and doesn't care about it.
The Daily Telegraph is not merciful to George at all.
However, George did not respond to Every Day Telegraph. The more you respond to these newspapers, the happier they will be. George wants to use his grades to tell them that what he said is definitely not bragging.
Soon the second round of the game began, with Blackburn playing against the young Guards Leeds United at home.
Leeds United was kicked to the fifth place in the Premier League by George's Blackburn last season. George thought he would never see Leeds United in the League Cup. I didn't expect that Leeds United was like an immortal Xiaoqiang, passing the International Toto Cup or entering the League Cup.
Leeds United's transfer move this season is also very big. Their top scorer Hasselbaink left Leeds United for Atletico Madrid because of the contract renewal negotiations broke down. And Sunderland's striker Michael. Bridges joined Leeds United.
Michael. Bridges is also a rising star in England in recent years. Sunderland has performed very well, although Sunderland has always been a lift in the Premier League and League One. But last year, Sunderland won the Premier League Championship and was able to return to the Premier League. And Michael. Bridges scored 12 goals in League One last season, and Leeds United bought him for 5 million pounds.
Although Hasselbaink left Leeds United, the strength of Leeds United did not decline, but improved. The main reason is that many Leeds United players have Premier League experience, and their performance this year will definitely exceed the previous year.
However, it may be because I'm not used to Hassel Bayink. In the last game, I was tied by Derby County 0 to 0 in the midfield. Leeds United performed well in the whole game, but they didn't have the ability to score. New Michael. Bridges has not fully adapted to Leeds United's playing style. There have been many opportunities in the last game, but he didn't seize it.
George will never let go of the current Leeds United. Now Leeds United is like Blackburn at the beginning of last season, and the new main striker has not yet adapted to the team. It's just a chance to grab points.
Now Ewood Park has completely become George's home court. When George came out, the whole audience was "George. Levy's cheers kept coming. George doesn't like occasions where there are too many restrictions, but he likes to be cheered on the court.
George looked at Ewood Park, and then waited for a moment to see O'Leiley. As the owner, George took the lead in stretching out his hand.
Looking at the smiling George, O'Alley didn't get angry. Leeds United performed very well last season and has basically finished fourth in the Premier League. But since George declared war on Leeds United, Leeds United's performance has been greatly affected.
O'Leary knew that his young players were under great pressure from George last season.
O'Leiley can be unaffected by George, but those young men at Leeds United have been greatly affected. I was eager to achieve success in the competition, but the results fell behind. And after winning Leeds United, George made a fuss about Leeds United.
Although he later entered the League Cup through the International Toto Cup. But in order to enter the UEFA Cup, the team did not have a good rest this summer. It doesn't look like anything now, but there will be many other problems in February and March.
O'Leiley hates George when he thinks of these things. It's all because of George in front of him that Leeds United lost face last year.
also made O'Leiley's first coaching lose face.
It turned out to be 11 points ahead of Blackburn, but at the end of the season, Blackburn was four points ahead of Leeds United. Blackburn actually chased 15 points in a row. They are all rookies in the Premier League, but in the end, O'Leiley was defeated by George.
Therefore, O'Leiley looked at George very unpleasantly, but as the saying goes, he reached out and didn't hit the smiling face, so he reluctantly smiled.
O'Leiley is eager to take revenge, whether it's at home or away. O'Leiley, a coach, couldn't calm down, and his players couldn't calm down.
Their attack was very fierce at the beginning of the game, and the sideline Cowell was also much more fierce today. Of course, Bowyer in the midfield is more active. Young people firmly remember that they were pushed back by Blackburn at the last minute of last season.
George looked at the attack of Leeds United and smiled instead.
A team can't calm down, so it's not far from defeat. Looking at Leeds United's current attack, it is a typical calm performance. The attack is not about playing the eight punches, but to have your own tactical routine.
Leeds United is now playing the eight fists, not their best attack.
George didn't expect O'Aley to be like this. Normally, O'Leary has a brilliant career and is a talent who has seen the world. I didn't expect that a small setback last season would make O'Aley so calm.
Tut-tut, it seems that it is difficult for O'Leiley to be a good coach.
In fact, with the strength of Leeds United, as long as you play steadily, you may not be able to defeat Blackburn. Although Blackburn's playing style is some Kleets United, Leeds United will be able to dominate in the Champions League in two years, which is absolutely strong.
But they have now lost their calm and lost their attack.
Their attack is chaotic, and Blackburn's side is easy to fight. What George is most willing to play is a midfield team like Leeds United. Although Leeds United's offensive momentum is very strong, it is all thunderous. They were in a bad mood. Of course, they couldn't break the door.
Even if there is an opportunity, they can't seize it.
But Blackburn is different. Leeds United players are in a hurry, but Blackburn players are not in a hurry. Last season, Blackburn was sometimes tired to play against some weak teams, but he easily defeated Leeds United.
It can also reverse Leeds United and become the fourth place in the Premier League. Therefore, they have a psychological advantage in the face of Leeds United.
The so-called psychological advantage is actually an illusory thing. But it is very useful in the game.
This is the case with Blackburn players now. In the face of the anxious Leeds United, they play with ease. At 17 minutes of the game, Blackburn took advantage of a free kick, and Haipia scored the first goal.
After scoring a goal, Blackburn was even more calm. Before the end of the first half, there was a long-range shot from Deko, which hit Woodgate's leg and refracted into the net.
In the second half, Blackburn's performance was still excellent. Bellamy, who came on as a substitute, took advantage of Leeds United's attack, a classic counterattack and passed all defenses with speed. Finally, even the goalkeeper passed, and then pushed into the empty door.
Looking at Bellamy's speed, George thought, this is the so-called "world martial arts, only fast can't be broken". Bellamy can run rampant in world football with her own speed.
At the end of the game, O'Leiley's face was blue. This is the third time that Leeds United has met Blackburn, but every time it is disgraced. O'Leary, who had always had a bad temper, left the court without saying hello to George at the end of the game.
The impact of defeating Coventry and Leeds United is different. Leeds United has achieved great results in recent years, and last year it was a direct competitor of Blackburn. But Leeds United was almost powerless to fight back by Blackburn in this game.
"I never talk big. League Cup, our goal this season is to win the League Cup!" George has maintained a consistent arrogance in front of the media.
After the last game, many media accused George of arrogance were silent. A team that can play Leeds United to such a level, even if its goal is the League Cup, why not?
The Sun even after the end of this game, the headline wrote: whether it is arrogant or strong.
