176 Anfield

On December 5, 1998, Black had arrived in Liverpool.

It is also a city in the northwest of England. Liverpool is much larger than Blackburn, or more populous than Blackburn. Liverpool has a local population of more than 440,000, which is much more than Blackburn's 140,000.

But Liverpool also has two traditional England strong teams. Needless to say, Liverpool, has a Premier League strong team Everton in addition to Liverpool.

Liverpool is the first giant in England, but there is also a traditional English strong team in the same city. Everton has won nine top league titles in England, has reached the FA Cup finals 12 times, won five FA Cup titles, and won the European Cup Winners Cup once.

Liverpool and Everton were originally on the same team, but later Liverpool separated from Everton after high-level conflicts. Therefore, Everton has a large number of local fans in Liverpool. If it is placed in England and around the world, there must be a lot of Liverpool fans.

But for Liverpool, Liverpool fans may not be able to surpass Everton.

With Liverpool and Everton, the city of Liverpool has also become one of the important maps of English football.

That day, George led Blackburn to Liverpool, and the target of the game was Liverpool, England's first giant.

Liverpool's performance this season is very bad, just like the reason why George refused to be Liverpool's head coach. When Hollier became Liverpool's head coach, Liverpool began to coach with Hollier and Evans. It also began the fight between the two coaches.

The coaching method of the two leaders soon had problems. Hollier and Evans often argue because there are great differences over the construction of the team and the deployment of troops. The two kept arguing, which also had a great impact on Liverpool's record.

Although it did not win the championship in the top league in the past few years, it is still a very powerful team. Redknap, McManaman and Fowler are very powerful players in the Premier League. But this season, Liverpool is only ranked seventh in the Premier League.

The score is the same as Blackburn, just two more goal difference. If Blackburn hadn't been scored eight goals by Arsenal at home, Liverpool would not have been able to lead Blackburn in goal difference.

And their double leader's coaching method finally ended in November. The end result was that Evans left Liverpool and Hollier coached alone.

I haven't thought about it before, but when I arrived at Liverpool this time, George remembered that he was also one of the candidates for Liverpool's head coach. If he had joined Liverpool at that time, would he have taught Liverpool alone?

That's Liverpool, England's most prestigious club in European football.

It's just a thought. What is Holier's identity? He can squeeze away Evans, a Liverpool veteran, in the dispute with Evans. It depends on him once won the Ligue 1 championship, led the French youth team to win the European U-19 Football Championship, and his status as the head coach of the French national team.

It is because of such a title that Holler was able to win in this dispute.

But if it were George, George really didn't have the confidence to beat Evans. Therefore, I can only envy Hollior in my heart.

After all, it is Liverpool Club, the first giant club in England. For a club that has won four Champions League titles, except for Real Madrid and Milan, no team can compare with Liverpool.

If there is a chance to coach Liverpool, it is still quite ** for George now.

Of course, this is just George thinking about.

............

Anfield, as the game approached, Blackburn's bus came to Anfield.

Speaking of which, Anfield Stadium is not as big as Wembley Stadium and Manchester United's home stadium, Old Trafford Stadium. But George looked at Anfield and could always think of a person.

Of course, this has something to do with when George came to England, when the Reds Liverpool swept Europe. Although George only caught up with the end of Liverpool's glory, he still had a deep impression of Liverpool.

When George came to England, Liverpool's head coach had become Fagan.

But George has admired Liverpool's other two meritorious coaches, Shankley and Paisley, since he was a child. Especially Shankley, so far in George's study, there is a lot of news about Shankley and his famous sayings.

"Some people equate football with life and death, and I am deeply disappointed. I can assure you that football goes far beyond life and death.

"The first is the first, and the second is useless."

"The fighting spirit in my heart comes from the honor and ** brought by the red robe. We don't need to mobilize. Every player is responsible for the team's performance. The identity of Liverpool players makes them full of fighting spirit.

"Football is a simple sport. You just need to pass and catch the ball, control the ball and make sure that you can catch the pass. It's so simple."

The reporter of Moseyside Radio asked Shankley, "Mr. Shankley, why did your team's unbeaten record suddenly end?" Shankly replied, "Why don't you jump into the river?"

Every time I see these famous sayings, even George feels his blood boiling all over. Shankly is really a different coach who can lead Liverpool, which is still in the second division, to become the best team in Europe.

Liverpool can become the first giant in England, which is inseparable from Shankley. It was because of the foundation laid by Shankley that the later Pace rate led Liverpool to countless honors. Let Liverpool truly become a giant in European football.

After the 1973-74 season, Shankley unexpectedly announced his resignation as head coach. At the age of 60, he planned to spend more time with his wife Nice and his family, which shocked Liverpool City. On September 29, 1981, Shankly died of a heart attack. His good friend, Sir Busby, the legendary coach of Manchester United, was sadly unable to speak on the phone for a long time when he heard the news.

Shankly! It's really regrettable to be a coach to this extent.

"George, George." Evan stabbed George next to him.

"It's okay." George shook his head and then smiled. I think of Coach Shankley. Football has nothing to do with life and death, but it is higher than life and death. Our predecessors are really..."

"Okay, George. Don't remember, let's go in."

"Ye-huh." George nodded.

Those big English families are so lucky. Manchester United have Busby, Liverpool have Shankley, Arsenal have Chapman. It is because of these meritorious coaches that they have become England giants.

When George coached Burnley before, he also wondered if he would become Burnley's Busby, Shankley and Chapman.

Now that I have become the head coach of Blackburn, will I become the founder of Blackburn in Blackburn?

Before fully entering the court, George had heard the very familiar song "You will never walk alone."

............

"If it hadn't been for the collapse of the final negotiations, George would have been sitting in the position of Liverpool's head coach now. At that time, there was a lot of rumors about George's entry into Liverpool, and many Liverpool staff vowed that George would become Liverpool's new head coach. George was indeed Liverpool's first choice at that time, even David. Morse also personally participated in the negotiations.

"It was only then that the negotiations between the two sides broke down that George became Blackburn's head coach."

"But now George's day in Blackburn is also good, and he has just won the best coach of the month. It is also a six-game winning streak, and the ranking is already the eighth place in the Premier League, the same as Liverpool's points.

"On the contrary, now Hollior will work hard. Liverpool did not perform well in the previous games. In the last four games, there are two wins and two losses. Compared with Blackburn's six consecutive wins, the state is good and bad.

Before the game starts, the commentator introduced the recent game status of the two teams.

"It makes sense for George to refuse Liverpool now. The double leader system is also the reason for Liverpool's current poor performance. George's rejection of such a double leader system is understandable. It's just a pity that we can't see the cooperation between George and Liverpool.

"Of course, think about it, that's George, not someone else. George is very controlling. How can he be willing to coach with other coaches?

"Yes, George will never allow anyone to interfere with his team."

The two commentators laughed.

But it's almost the same. George will never agree with anyone to interfere with his team. The senior management of the club can't intervene, let alone other coaches, which is even more not allowed.

And George, who they are discussing, is arranging today's tactics in the locker room.

This is Blackburn's first game of the Devil's season in December, and George didn't have any rotation. This is an away game, and it's against Liverpool. George doesn't dare to be careless at all.

Liverpool is a team with technical flow, and there are only two ways to face the team with technical flow. Or the technology surpasses the other party, much more. Or use muscle tactics to hang the team. But now Blackburn is a technical team, of course, to surpass Liverpool technically.

Therefore, George continued to maintain the original combination in the starting lineup. After several months of running-in, they have become more and more comfortable in controlling the ball in the midfield. In the face of the Premier League club, he is completely in the upper hand in the control of the midfield.

However, Liverpool is not only enough to control the midfield, but also has an English golden boy Owen in front of him. As for Owen, Owen is in the best condition now, and it's hard to guard against it.
