256 UEFA Cup Final
Copenhagen Park Stadium is really not very big. Although today's UEFA Cup final is full, it is only about 36,000 people.
This is the first time that George has entered the final of the European Cup and has experienced the charm of the European competition for the first time.
Tickets for the UEFA Cup final are very tight, and ticket prices are also rising all the way. In the end, the price of ordinary tickets exceeded 300 pounds. Compared with English fans, Turkish fans are the most distressed.
The ticket prices sold at Galatasaray have reached 300 pounds. The price of this ticket is even much higher than the price of their club's season tickets this season. Galatasaray's season ticket price this season is only £150, but the price of an League Cup final is more than £300.
In fact, the official price of UEFA for Galatasaray is 20 pounds to 45 pounds, but it did not expect that the price would eventually rise to 300 pounds. Istanbul's current per capita monthly income is only 200 pounds.
But even so, it still can't stop the enthusiasm of the fans.
In the end, it is still difficult to get tickets for the UEFA Cup final. Whether it's Blackburn or Galatasaray, there are many fans who can't buy tickets.
George looked at the Copenhagen Park Stadium, and the supporters of the two teams were clearly clear. Blackburn's fans are the blue lineup, while Galatasaray's is the red lineup. Galatasaray's team uniform is a red and yellow jersey.
Among the fans of the two teams are neutral fans.
This is not only a habit, but also for the safety of the court. English and Turkish fans are not in a good mood now. If they sit next to each other, they don't know what will happen.
Even so, the police in Copenhagen are still worried.
Since 200 Turkish parliamentarians and a dozen ministers will be present to watch the battle, the safety of the scene is particularly important. To this end, both the British and Turkish government axes sent their own riot police to Copenhagen to help the Danish police maintain the security of the stadium. The Dutch and Belgian police, the host countries of this year's European Championship, also sent police to help Denmark maintain order. At the same time, they can get first-hand information on safety measures to control the disturbances of fans. The number of security forces to maintain order on the court will reach 2,000.
George looked at the dense reporters on the sidelines, and his heart suddenly increased.
This is the first time George has stood on such a big stage. George is already famous in England. But in European football and world football, it is still just a small generation. But this game is different.
This game will have 5 million spectators from 185 countries and regions around the world to watch this world-renowned game. The number of reporters present will reach 300, including 140 photojournalists and journalists from 25 TV stations.
This is the big stage, and this is where you should stand.
George and Trim, who was already standing next to him, simply shook hands and then returned to their seats.
At this time, Trim is almost fifty years old. But the sharp eyes are still the same. Trim is the best coach in Turkish football at present. At the age of 40, he became the head coach of the Turkish national team. He led the team's history to enter the finals of the 1996 European Cup.
After that, he came to Galatasaray, which is already the third consecutive championship in the domestic league. This season, Galatasaray has been the double champion of domestic leagues and cups.
Trim is definitely a flag of Turkish football, of course, it is not that level yet. But in the original history, Trim led Galatasaray to win the UEFA Cup and the Super Cup. Then, in Euro 08, he led Turkey to the top four of the European Cup.
Trim was later called the "Emperor" by Turkish fans, which also showed his influence among Turkish fans.
George is thinking about the coach of Trim. Also, Trim looks at George's back and is also thinking about George.
George is very famous in British football, but unfortunately, not many people know him in European football. So is Trim.
It's just that George shouted that I wanted to win the League Cup at the beginning of the season, which surprised Trim. There has always been no shortage of unruly people in football. Whether they are coaches or players, there are a lot of arrogant people. But it is rare for George to be bullish at the beginning of the season.
At that time, Trim looked at George's information and found that he was a young coach who was only 31 years old. So just a smile, young people, it's understandable.
But now Trim doesn't think so anymore.
This young man is not simple, it is indeed not simple.
Trim, who has been exhausted by the media and various scouts recently, is quite afraid of George. It is said that these are all coincidences, and maybe others will believe it. But Trim doesn't believe it 100%.
You Blackburn has been talking since February, and now it's mid-May, but there is no result.
And the confidentiality work of both sides has always been very good. Why did the news come out when it was almost the final? It's like a good director. Trim doesn't believe in this coincidence at all.
Looking at the coach who is younger than his own players, Trim can only shake his head secretly.
"The game is about to start. Blackburn is very familiar to everyone, but Galatasaray is in Turkey, and you may not be familiar with it. First of all, let me give you a brief introduction to Galatasaray. This League Cup final is also Mottson's commentary.
Galatasaray is a rich family in Turkey. As of this season, it has won the Turkish League 14 times and the Turkish Cup 14 times. It is a well-deserved hegemonic team in Turkey.
"In the current Galatasaray, many people should be very strange. Only Haji from the midfielder should be quite familiar to everyone.
"But the recent situation in Galatasaray is actually not very good. Their club is in a serious economic crisis and has not been paid for seven months.
"Galatasaray's head coach Trim's wrist is extraordinary. Under such a difficult situation, Galatasaray can still win the league championship and cup championship in China."
Mortson briefly introduces the current situation in Galatasaray.
As Mottson introduced, the situation in Galatasaray is indeed very bad. The harassment of reporters, the attention of scouts, and the private contact between clubs and players are all very serious. But more serious than this is the economic situation of Galatasaray.
Galatasaray's economic situation is very poor, and he has not been paid for nearly a season.
In this situation, Trim relied on his prestige and wrist to lead the team to the league championship. Of course, there is usually nothing that Trim can deal with. But when the major clubs began to play the ideas of Galatasaray's players, the impact on the team was very obvious.
If you haven't received a salary for a season, you can imagine the mood of the players. After all, they also play football to make money. Now the major clubs come into contact with them and are willing to give them a high salary. Of course, they are distracted.
Although they are now pressed by Trim's prestige, the silk gaps that have been created are not so easy to sew.
............"Du--"
With the thought of the referee's whistle, the game began.
"The first UEFA Cup final of the new millennium began at the Copenhagen Park Stadium. The two teams in the final are Blackburn from England and Galatasaray from Turkey. Ninety minutes may be 120 minutes later. Let's wait and see who can win.
Mortson**'s commentary began to sound.
George sent a common main lineup in this game. The three midfielders are exactly Maclele, Deco and Miku, and Galatasaray's playing style is somewhat similar to Blackburn. They also sent three midfielders, namely Haji, Emre and Okan. Brooke.
Each of the three has its own characteristics.
Okan is a skilled midfield organizer, and the short Okan is very skilled. And Haji's passing is even more unpredictable, and Emre is more of a surprise in the midfield. Compared with others, Emre's forward assault ability is very strong.
In the game, Emre is often able to attack unexpectedly with the ball and tear off the opponent's defense from the middle.
The combination of the three is very good. To be controlled, there must be a command, and there must be an assault.
If you play against other teams, the current Galatasaray midfield may have strong control. But compared with Blackburn with a similar style, they completely fell down.
Haji is strong, but it's a pity that he is old and thirty-five years old. Emre's impact is strong, but unfortunately he is too young and inexperienced. On Blackburn's side, Macleleine was staring at Totti, which made him helpless.
Miku has been a mature player before Blackburn. It's just that George gave him more stage in Blackburn.
After two seasons of training in the Premier League, Deko has become one of the best midfielders in the Premier League to control the game. Such a trio completely overwhelmed Galatasaray's midfielder after the start of the game.
Galatasaray is also known as a team with strong control in the UEFA Cup. But when it comes to Blackburn, the style is the same, and it depends on who has stronger control.
George didn't have any tentative attack at all. He had already attacked at the beginning of the game.
George sneered at those coaches who said they didn't know anything about their opponents. As a head coach, if you don't even know your opponent, it's your dereliction of duty. If you meet some amateur teams in the FA Cup, you can say that you don't know your opponent.
But like the League Cup final, if you are not familiar with your opponent, it's a complete joke.
Therefore, George has no tentative surname at all, and Blackburn players don't have to adapt. Because they are very familiar with every player in Galatasaray.
George's training is completely against Galatasaray.
