146 Ready
After breaking up with Ameick, although George was a little sad, he was not very sad. I feel that when the relationship between the two began, it was a natural matter of course. And the breakup had a hunch for a long time, and both of them knew it well.
And the start time of the Premier League is getting closer and closer. George doesn't have much fantasies. Among all the European leagues, except for Ligue 1, the Premier League is the fastest to start. On August 14, the Premier League will start.
George is now thinking about the upcoming Premier League.
Premier League, this is the league that George has always yearned for. When Burnley coached, the most attractive goal for Burnley coaches and players was the Premier League. In order to have the opportunity to upgrade to the Premier League, they tried their best.
For George, the Premier League is also an extremely desirable league. Only when you are famous in a top league like the Premier League will people really recognize your strength.
Time passed quickly, and it was August 11 in the blink of an eye.
Today, Blackburn Club held its last press conference before the start of the league. This is not a press conference held by the club's senior management, but George's first press conference as Blackburn's head coach.
George's identity is completely different today, and Blackburn's weight is far from what Burnley can compare. Therefore, although it is just a small press conference, the number of reporters at this press conference is definitely the largest since George became a coach.
However, although there are a lot of reporters, there are not many people who have a good impression on George. Their problems are very sharp.
"Coach Levy, what do you think of Blackburn's relegation situation this season?"
George squinted at the reporter. Now all the media are talking about how serious Blackburn's relegation situation is this season. In their opinion, Blackburn has been terminally ill in the past few years, and George's entry into Blackburn did not stabilize the army, but carried out a major purge.
In the eyes of the media, George is too messed up. Of course, George knows that the Premier League is not the League One, let alone the League Two. There is greater pressure and competitiveness here. But George thinks more. George thinks not only about a year or two, but also for the sustainable development of the team.
"Who said that our club's goal this year is to relegation?" George smiled playfully and asked the reporter.
Although I thought that George didn't speak well, the reporter was stunned by such a rhetorical question. Blackburn used to be a relegated team. Although Blackburn won the Premier League three years ago, it is now a real relegation team.
This reporter was just a little stunned. After all, he is experienced. So he immediately asked George, "Does Coach Levy think Blackburn can still compete for the championship?"
"Why can't Blackburn become a champion?" George smiled, although he knew that it was very difficult for Blackburn to become a champion in a year or two. But George was unwilling to lose momentum. I didn't join Blackburn for relegation. I don't care what my previous Blackburn was like. I took over Blackburn to make Blackburn an important force in the Premier League.
"Okay, the next one."
Although Blackburn has fallen over the years, it will not rise again until Jack Walker. But in the early days of the English League, Blackburn was a real strong team. In the early English League, he won the top league of England twice and the FA Cup six times.
The reporter wanted to ask again, but he was so choped by George and sat down angrily.
"Coach Levy, Klose scored few goals in the League One, and Deco is also a player in the Portuguese Second Division. I don't know why the two of them were able to join Blackburn, and their weekly salary is more than 5,000 pounds. This is what we are all very confused about. The reporter's question is very sharp. In fact, someone raised this question as early as Blackburn announced the transfer list.
Of course, not only Claude and Deko, but also Good Johnson and Gala are in the scope of questioning.
"I choose a player and never look at his background. No matter which club he used to play in, as long as he matches the players of my team, I will buy them. The hero doesn't ask the source. When I found Barak, he was also a player in the German amateur league.
As soon as George's words fell, the reporter's face was full of smiles and he continued to ask George.
"We heard that Klose and Deco are both players of your cousin Alan Levy. Coach Levy doesn't know if it's true." Although he asked George with a smile, the question was absolutely quite malicious.
George, who had just been happy, suddenly collapsed. There was a sneer at the corners of his mouth. They are indeed players of Allen Agency. Do you want to ask me if I made some unscrupulous money in the middle?
"Even if I make a profit from it, it will make money from the club. The club doesn't care. It's none of your business!" George suddenly raised his voice and asked the reporter with a sneer. The next one."
George's answer completely stunned many reporters below. Although George has a good reputation in British football, George used to be the head coach of League One. Therefore, the reporters who interview George are also some new reporters, but now these reporters are all reporters who have been interviewing the Premier League.
Although they have heard of George's reputation, many people have not interviewed George face to face. Today is the first real time to have a real relationship with George.
But I really didn't expect George to be so arrogant that he didn't care about the reporter's face at all and said directly, "What's none of your business!" Even many world football coaches will not offend reporters so much. George is really worthy of being a coach.
The reporter who asked George's question was stunned on the spot. Although he is not a journalist, he has been immersed in the Premier League for many years. I have interviewed many coaches and players, including many coaches and players with strange surnames. But there has never been such a person who can't get off the stage so face. His face turned red and he didn't know what to do.
Steven Yellen looked at George sitting there and arguing with the Confucians, and he didn't know how to feel a burst of pleasure in his heart. In those years, I was so satirized by George that I couldn't get off the stage. Of course, there are also some awkwardness. The two opponents in those years now have to stand on the united front.
Blackburn Club has a pivotal position in Blackburn, not only because it is the only football club in Blackburn. What's more, there are countless related industries around the Blackburn Club. Blackburn doesn't know how many people live on Blackburn Club.
Most of the reports of the Blackburn Evening News also revolve around clubs. After all, such local tabloids do not have the strength even if they want to report the big news of the country's people's livelihood.
Steven Yellen, as a reporter for the Black Evening News, can only maintain the same position as the club. This is not based on Yellen's will. He can only stand on the same front as the club. So I was a little nervous about the press conference, so I stood up.
"Coach Levy, what are your prospects for the new season?"
This is almost nonsense, and it is such a press conference, which is almost the problem before the end.
George nodded to Yellen and knew what Yellen meant. This reporter, who used to be satirized the most by George, is now... But George still stood up with a straight face.
"Tear your best to win the game you can win." Just after taking two steps, George turned around and said to the reporter who asked the first question in front of him. Anyway, the goal of this season will never be just to relegation.
............
Don't say that because George ridiculed the uncrowned kings so much at the press conference, they simply gritted their teeth.
George, who was not liked by those reporters, was bombarded by major English media the next day. If they were still covered up before, then at this time, their evaluation of George was completely naked.
"Klose? A striker who has scored less than 10 goals in 50 games in League One is qualified to join the Premier League Club. How can I get a weekly salary of 5,000 pounds? Is it because George Levy likes him? When George coached Burnley, many people were already very puzzled by George's reuse of Klose. They didn't expect that Blackburn George would still take Klose.
"Anderson Deko? A player who is not valued by Benfica, a player who plays in the Portuguese Second Division. If you enter Blackburn, you can get a weekly salary of 6,000 pounds. Why?
"Klose and Deko are both players affiliated with the United States Agency, and the current head of this company is Alan Levy. He is George's cousin, and George also has his own shares in this company.
"This situation has to make us think more about the transfer of these two people."
This statement has formed a mainstream view among the major media, and they all feel that these two transfers will have a lot of tricks.
In addition to doubting the transfer, the media are more commenting on Blackburn's prospects.
To be honest, I'm not optimistic about Blackburn's prospects for this season. Blackburn sold their best player, Chris Sutton. Including many main players, but there are no players with the same strength.
"After Shearer's transfer, Blackburn didn't find a real player to replace Shearer, which eventually led to the collapse of the team in the past few years."
"Last year, Blackburn was able to relegation, thanks to Sutton's excellent performance. Who can save Blackburn this year?
