219 First League Cup Next
George was shocked to see the full of fans. George thought that there should be few fans in the current situation in Serbia. There should be few fans in this game, but I didn't expect the whole stadium to be completely full.
George shook his head. These are the fans. There can be so many fans in this situation.
"This is George's first European game, and one more month later, George is only 31 years old. At the age of thirty-one, he can lead a Premier League club to the League Cup at such a young age. George's starting point is higher than anyone else. What are those coaches doing now at the age of 31? Morterson looked at George, who was dressed upright and with a serious face, and exclaimed.
"Yes, there are many head coaches now, which one of them didn't become famous after the age of 40. At the age of thirty-one, they either retired or were assistant coaches. And George has four years of head coaching experience, and he has made remarkable achievements in the past four years. Alan. Hansen is also attached to Mortson.
"George is only 31 years old now. Blackburn is so strong in the Premier League. How much will George's achievements be in ten years?
English football is conservative, but equally arrogant. They always think they are the best.
Although George has many enemies in English football, they will be proud of George when facing foreign enemies. Anyway, George is the best among the new generation of local coaches.
George sent all the main players in this game. George wants a match. As long as he wins away from home, George can have no worries.
After this game, Blackburn will face two strong enemies in a row. They met Arsenal and Manchester United one after another, followed by the second game of the first round of the UEFA Cup. Only when this game solves the Belgrade guerrillas neatly, will it not lose the other in the games between Arsenal and Manchester United.
After the game started, the Blackburn players were indeed a little uncomfortable with the field. There were several mistakes in passing the ball.
But the strength of the Belgrade guerrillas is really too bad. They didn't grasp the counterattack opportunity after this mistake at all.
"The quality of the lawn is very poor, and Blackburn made a lot of passing mistakes."
"This lawn quality has a greater impact on Blackburn. But there is no way. The stadium in Serbia can't be compared with the stadium in England. Mortson and Alan. Hansen also saw the problem with the lawn.
After more than 20 minutes of the game, Blackburn has gradually adapted to the lawn. Passing the ball also began to be more normal.
Although it is a home court, the Belgrade guerrillas did not put much pressure on Blackburn. Therefore, Blackburn completely suppressed the guerrillas.
In the 26th minute, Miku shook the back of the guerrillas on the court again, and a beautiful oblique pass passed to Pires on the left.
"...Miku, pass the ball... This pass directly penetrates the guerrilla defense... Pires, beautiful unloading the ball... The ball did not hesitate, and the left foot passed it!"
Pires successfully reversed the offside and unloaded the ball very beautifully with his left foot. The ball stopped at the foot, but the guerrilla defender still rushed up. Pires did not continue to break through, but passed a cross with his left foot into the penalty area.
"Klose! Klose! This is Klose, a beautiful header!" Mortson saw Klose running forward and jumping to the top and shouting loudly. Klose's head-throwing attack, beautiful! The goal was scored, and Blackburn took a 1-0 lead in the away game!"
This is the first UEFA Cup goal in George's coaching career. It's still Klose. The state of Klose is really amazing. This is Klose's seventh goal for Blackburn this season. Don't forget Klose last season, scoring only nine goals in a season. Klose is completely reborn. Mortson's explanation was so fast.
"Speaking of Klose's header, I really don't accept it. Klose is only 1.84 meters, but he can fight for the header in front of the 1.9-meter defender. This is entirely because of Klose's excellent consciousness. And only consciousness can truly become a header master. Klose's header ability can rank in the top three even among the Premier League strikers. Alan. Hansen saw Klose's header and was very appreciative.
"Klose's header is absolutely second to none among the Premier League strikers. I think in another year or two, his header ability must be the best striker in the world. Mortson also appreciated Klose's ability to head.
"If Klose stays in this state, it is only a matter of time before he enters the German national team. Even if you become the main striker of the German national team, it is only a matter of time.
Mortson and Alan. Hansen praised Klose, and George was also excited inexplicably. No matter how ambitious George has a goal, this goal is also his team's first goal in the UEFA Cup. When George became Burnley's head coach, he also fantasized about leading Burnley to European games.
In a flash of four years, George finally led his team and began the first step to conquer Europe.
After scoring a goal, Blackburn played much better. The guerrillas were unwilling to be defeated by Blackburn at home, so they began to attack. As soon as they attack, there will be more loopholes.
The game lasted for 33 minutes, less than ten minutes before the last goal. It was another very beautiful direct pass from Miku, and Duff got the ball on the right side.
In terms of domineering Miku, it is not as good as Zidane, but in terms of threatening passing, Miku is definitely not worse than Zidane, or better than Zidane. Zidane knows more about mobilizing the game and controlling the rhythm of the game, and the direct threat of Miku surpasses Zidane.
In terms of speed, Duff surpasses Pires, and Pires's greater advantage is technology.
is different from Pires. After Duff gets the ball, he directly inserts it into the opponent's penalty area.
This characteristic of Duff will make him more comfortable in Mourinho's later winger tactics. Duff doesn't play like a full-back, but more like a winger. After rushing in, it was a close shot at a small angle before the opponent's defender reacted.
"Duff... The speed is very fast and the angle is very small. How will Duff deal with... shooting!"
"Beautiful! Duff's strong shot, the ball rolled into the goal from the near post. 1-0, Blackburn has already led by two goals away from home. It seems that George said that it is absolutely not a joke to win the League Cup.
Seeing Duff's goal, George clenched his fist fiercely. I know that this game must have been won, and the first round must have passed.
After, the game has been under Blackburn's control.
The guerrilla players worked very hard. Although they were lagging behind, they did not give up at all. But the huge gap in strength makes their struggle useless.
In the 72nd minute of the second half, Miku received a pass from Klose, and a shot once again pierced the guerrilla's door.
After three goals leading, George replaced Mikku, Pires and Duff. Because three days later, Blackburn will play against Arsenal at home. George wants to keep their strength.
In the end, Blackburn defeated the guerrillas 3-0 away, making the second game almost useless. The head coach of the guerrillas also understood this and was frustrated. Looking at George's young face, he shook hands with George with a wry smile.
"I believe that Serbian football will rise again." George looked at the guerrilla coach with a wry smile in front of him and cheered him up.
In such a difficult situation, there are so many fans who support the team and these hard-working players. As long as the situation in Serbia gets better, George believes that Serbian football will rise again.
"Thank you."
George was in a good mood to win the first League Cup match.
Although it is the first round of the UEFA Cup, it has not received much attention from the European media. However, there are still many journalists from the media in continental Europe to interview George. George put on a cool expression, whether it was an English journalist or a reporter from other countries on the European continent.
"My goal this season is very clear, which is the League Cup. The League Cup is our highest goal in Blackburn.
English journalists all know that George has always been a big mouth. And in British football, George has already said that Blackburn will definitely win the League Cup. So not many English reporters said, but those from other countries on the European continent who interviewed George for the first time were stunned.
An Italian reporter asked George doubtfully.
"Coach Levy means, is Blackburn going to win the League Cup this season?"
George looked at the Italian reporter in front of him and nodded with a smile.
"In the cup, except for the champion, everything else is a failure. I don't want to be a loser." George did not answer positively, but he had made his meaning clear.
The Italian reporter opened his mouth wide and had never seen such a crazy coach.
"Are you sure you are the champion of the League Cup?" The Italian reporter, who did not give up, bit the words "Conference Cup Champion" heavily.
Juventus also participated in the League Cup this year, and more Champions League elimination teams will enter the League Cup in the future. Who dares to win the League Cup? The current UEFA Cup is still quite valuable, which is a completely different level from the UEFA Europa League ten years later.
"Is there something wrong with your ear? Do you need me to introduce you to a very famous ear expert?"
George didn't give face to the Italian reporter at all. After saying that, he left directly. Italian reporter, it's none of your business. George, an English journalist, doesn't give face, and Italian journalists are nothing in George's eyes.
A reporter next to him even heard George's sarcastic words and laughed.
This made the Italian reporter angry and remembered the arrogant and rude young English coach.
