273 European champion on
After playing the second round of the Premier League, George went to the European Super Cup in the expectation of all Blackburn fans.
Before European football, there were three cups, commonly known as the three European Cups. There are three major cups: the European Cup, the European Cup Winners and the UEFA Cup.
It contains the highest amount of gold, or the first cup in Europe is the European Champions Cup. Because the UEFA Champions League is attended by the league champions of national leagues.
The European Cup Winners' Cup is a competition in which the cup champions of various countries participate.
Among the three major cups, the gold content of the UEFA Cup is the lowest.
Because they are all champions, you are also the champion of the European Cup, and I am also the champion of the European Cup. We are not convinced of each other, so what should we do?
Therefore, someone proposed to let your European Cup champion pull out. Let's see who is the real champion in Europe. So the European Super Cup was born.
The European Union Cup champion was kicked out because the gold content was not high. Therefore, the European Super Cup is between the Champions League champion and the winner of the European Cup Winners' Cup.
However, since the UEFA Cup was reformed and the Winners Cup was merged into the UEFA Cup, there are only two major Cups left in the three major European Cups. So the European Super Cup is the match between the Champions League champion and the UEFA Cup champion.
Blackburn is the first time to win the League Cup. But this time, the opponent of the European Super Cup is Real Madrid, the world's largest giant.
Real Madrid is the greatest club in world football in the 20th century. He has won 27 Spanish top league titles, 17 Spanish King's Cups, and five Spanish Super Cup titles. Of course, if it is only the domestic champion, Real Madrid is also the Spanish domestic giant. But the reason why Real Madrid is the world's largest giant has a lot to do with their performance in Europe.
They have won eight Champions League titles and two UEFA Cups. Such amazing achievements have also created the most glorious rich families in the 20th century.
Now Real Madrid is another heyday. In last season's Champions League final, they easily defeated Valencia 3-0. They have been two Champions League champions in three years, and they were La Liga champions last season.
With Real Madrid's reputation and Real Madrid's strength in the past few seasons, all the media are optimistic about Real Madrid in this game. And although it is a match between Real Madrid and Blackburn, the media is more about Real Madrid.
As soon as Real Madrid arrived in Monaco, countless media went to interview them.
Raul is facing the media with a very charming smile. Very elegantly said, "Blackburn? I know them. There is also a great defender like Blanco in their team. It should be very difficult to break through their defense.
In Savio's interview, he showed his nostalgia for Panucci. Christian is one of the best right-backs I have ever seen. It should be very difficult to break through his defense. I really don't want to face him in the game.
Anyway, in the mouths of many Real Madrid players, Blanco and Panucci are mentioned the most.
But it's also true. For Blackburn now, Blanco and Panucci are the most famous. It is estimated that the two Real Madrid players who know Blackburn the most are Blanco and Panucci.
Just like Blackburn players don't know their players when facing teams such as Czech Serie A and Swiss Super League. Real Madrid players are probably also very unfamiliar with Blackburn. Although Blackburn is also a Premier League team, it is automatically short for Real Madrid.
Real Madrid can ask Blackburn high. How many top league championships have you won? How many cup championships have you won? Have you achieved anything in Europe? Have you ever had some famous world football stars in your history?
Even if you have a world-class star now?
Real Madrid does have the right to look down on Blackburn. Blackburn is now most famous for Blanco and Panucci. Unfortunately, Blanco is already a 35-year-old veteran, and Panucci is just a player on loan from Blackburn.
But what about Real Madrid?
Although Real Madrid is not as starry as the later Galactic Battleship period. But it is still full of stars.
Among the forward lines of Real Madrid, the best striker in the world is also the Prince of Madrid and the Spanish golden boy Raul. Unlike Raul, who was in a low state from 2004 to 2006, Raul is now in a hot state. Raul, who is only 23 years old, has been the main force of Real Madrid for five years.
And he is already the best scorer in La Liga and the best scorer in the Champions League. Last year, he was rated as the world's best football player by the International Federation of Football History and Statistics.
It can be said that Raul in 2000 is currently the best striker in the world of football.
In addition to Raul, Real Madrid captain Yero is no less famous than Raul. From another perspective, Yero is still Raul's boss. It is the sea needle of Real Madrid's back defense line.
Except for Yero and Raul, the left side of Real Madrid is Savio. It is the best left-back in La Liga at present. He cooperated tacitly with Carlos, who is known as the world's number one left-back.
As for the right side, it goes without saying that it is the famous Figo.
Any of Real Madrid's players are world football superstars. There are also people who look down on Blackburn.
............Because Blackburn has just finished the Premier League.
So it arrived a day later than Real Madrid.
The European Super Cup was held at the Louis II Stadium in Monaco. Louis II Stadium is the home stadium of the Monaco Club. Monaco is a strong team in Ligue 1 and was the champion of Ligue 1 last season.
Because of the Monaco club, many fans have heard of Monaco.
But because the Monaco Club participates in Ligue 1. Therefore, many Chinese fans will mistake Monaco for a French city. In fact, although Monaco has a very close relationship with France in history, it is not a French city. Monaco, where the Monaco Club is located, is the Principality of Monaco, and it is a country of reading. It is also the second largest country in the world.
The Principality of Monaco is only a little bigger than the Vatican, and the country is only two square kilometers.
But don't look at the small places, the per capita income of the Principality of Monaco is very high. And Monaco is a famous tourist attraction in Europe.
The Principality of Monaco is on the beautiful Mediterranean coast. There are not only medieval-style streets and palaces, but also famous casinos and luxury hotels around it to show you the long tradition and luxury of the "Beautiful Times", as well as the Tropical Botanical Garden and Marine Museum, the famous Tennis Open and the city center. The unparalleled Formula One car race has made this small country a hot spot for the world.
Although the lineup is famous, Blackburn is not as powerful as Real Madrid. But Blackburn is more popular among Monaco fans than Real Madrid.
This is related to the fact that Blackburn currently has a large number of French players. The Principality of Monaco is indeed a reading country, but it is completely surrounded by France. And it has been unclear to France in history. Now it is nominally a reading country, but it is actually more like a city-state of France.
So they are naturally close to France. Most of the Monaco teams are French players.
And Blackburn's left and right full-backs, Saniol and Riese, are both from Monaco. And they are all very popular players in Monaco.
Except for these two people, including Miku and Pires, they are all very famous in Ligue 1.
Not to mention Blanco, the second captain of the French national team, is now also in Blackburn. When France won the World Cup and the European Cup, Monaco fans were also cheering. In their opinion, France won the World Cup and the European Cup, which is the same as it did. There is no difference.
Therefore, Black went to Monaco, and the Monaco fans were quite friendly to Blackburn.
"Blackburn?" Blanco received the greatest welcome in Monaco. Many journalists are around Blanco. Blackburn is a very magical team. Blackburn just had a blood change two years ago, but his results have been amazing in the past two years. Last season, he won the fourth place in the Premier League, and last season he won the second place in the Premier League and the League Cup. The upward momentum is obvious, and this is a magical team. There are a lot of talented young players in it. I like Blackburn.
"Laurent, can you comment on Coach Levy?" A reporter familiar with Blanco came forward and asked Blanco.
"George." Blanco's voice is long. Unlike other Blackburn players, Blanco is now directly named after George. And George didn't object." George is very special. I have met countless coaches, but George is the most special one.
"He is young, but he is very strong." Blanchard paused and continued, "He is full of self-confidence. His self-confidence affects the players around him all the time. Blackburn's players are therefore very confident. They think they can beat any team in the world.
"Does it include Real Madrid?" A reporter interrupted.
"Of course. Blackburn is not afraid of any strong team in the world!" Blanco said affirmatively.
"And George is very diligent. No matter what opponent he is, he will study for a long time. In order to study a game, George can even watch the opponent's recent games over and over again. I think diligence is the biggest reason why George is so young to succeed.
The reporter who asked Blanco's question looked at Blanco in surprise. Blanco went to Blackburn for less than a month, but he praised George so much.
And George answered with a smile in front of the reporter.
Real Madrid, that is the greatest team of the 20th century. When I first became a coach, I wish I could play against Real Madrid. Real Madrid is the best team and the most powerful team in European football at present. Real Madrid is a great club with a glorious history and worthy of my respect. George admires Real Madrid very much.
"Laur is the best striker in the world, and he deserves the Footballer of the Year. Figo is the best right-back in the world.
When the Spanish reporter heard George's words, they all took it for granted. Especially pro-Real Madrid newspapers, in their opinion, any club in the world should be a pilgrimage to Real Madrid.
But the fans who are familiar with George are surprised. When did George have such a good temper?
However, before the reporter could react, George's words changed. But defeating those so-called great teams and legendary clubs is the greatest pleasure in my life.
