261 Return of honor

I want to say that you did a great job! I'm proud of your performance! As long as you go back to Blackburn, the winning bonus will be cashed immediately.

Williams made a guarantee of winning the championship on the plane to the exhausted players.

"Oh, oh, oh..." This is the guarantee that players are most willing to listen to now. What do players play football for? It's not just for money.

Now that there are honors, plus bonuses, that's the most perfect thing.

Blackburn is not stingy about money at all. Although it is not a Premier League giant, the size of the club is not as strong as that of the Premier League. But I will never care about the issue of money. At a good time this season, almost all the players have completed a new round of contracts with the club.

The salary is not as high as the high salary of the Premier League, but it has almost doubled compared with the previous contract.

So when they heard Williams' assurances, all the players cheered loudly.

"Congratulations, George." Williams is not very familiar with these players. Or Williams is still a little far away from them, so after guaranteeing the championship prize, he sat next to George.

"We are happy together. John, isn't this League Cup champion from our club?

"Yes, it's from our club." Williams replied with a smile.

Blackburn has a hundred years of history, and this is the first time he has won the European Cup. Williams is also quite happy. The UEFA Cup is an honor that a team like Blackburn has never dreamed of.

It couldn't be better for an ambitious club president like Williams to win the League Cup.

Williams looked at George's young face and made up his mind. Be sure to keep George and don't make the same mistake as Burnley.

As long as George is left, everything is hopeful. Now that he is the champion of the League Cup, who knows what other honor George will bring to the club in the future.

"George, five years ago, I thought Blackburn was going to usher in a big development." Williams suddenly sighed. Of course, George knows that what Williams is talking about after Blackburn won the Premier League in the 94-95 season.

"Daglish, one of Mr. Walker's wisest decisions. It's just Dalglish..." Williams was a little dissatisfied with the retreat behind the scenes after Dalglish won the championship. At that time, Dalglish was suddenly promoted to football director in Blackburn. In fact, I just don't want to continue to be the head coach of the club.

After Dalglish, the head coach invited by Blackburn is not a general person. Unfortunately, the club's results have plummeted.

In Williams' opinion, it is because Blackburn suddenly rose and the foundation has not been set. But after winning the championship, Dalglish immediately left the position. Instead of helping Blackburn continue to lay a good foundation, the subsequent problems will arise.

It's just that Dalglish is Blackburn's meritorious coach, and Williams can't show his thoughts on his face.

"Yes, George. Do you have any ideas about the summer transfer?

George led Blackburn to the UEFA Cup. Williams picked up Jack in the VIP seat. Walker's phone number. Jack. Walker was very excited on the phone. Jack. Walker has invested in Blackburn for nearly ten years.

In ten years, Jack. Walker invested more than 100 million pounds in the club. There is money to buy players and investment in improving club facilities.

In the past few years, Blackburn only won one league championship. Suddenly rising and suddenly declining. After spending so much money for a league championship, this is definitely not Jack. Walker's will.

And George became Blackburn for only two years, and he gave it to Jack. Walker brought a League Cup champion.

Jack. Walker was very happy and excited. The vague meaning on the phone is that George will not sting his money as long as he needs it this summer. Although it is impossible to spend 30 to 40 million pounds, it is still possible to spend 10 to 20 million pounds to support George.

That's why Williams asked George.

George also understood what Williams meant. For Jack. George is quite happy with the support of Walker and Williams. But George shook his head.

"John, there won't be any big repairs. Now our lineup is quite stable. As long as we keep it for two or three years, we will have unlimited competitiveness in Europe. George is very satisfied with the current lineup.

George's main lineup is not very old. The oldest ones are Pires and Miku, but even they are only 27 years old now. It is still the peak of a player, and there are still four or five years to look forward to.

The other main players are all young players in their early twenties.

The current Blackburn lineup is perfect. George didn't mean to make a big deal.

"But, John. You have to know the salary of the players. Although Blackburn has just renewed his contract on a large scale. But George knows that Blackburn's salary is still low now.

If Blackburn's grades are average, of course there is no problem. Blackburn's current player salary is a superior salary structure in the Premier League.

But now Blackburn's grades are very good. The second place in the Premier League and the champion of the League Cup is already the performance of the strong Premier League team. But at present, Blackburn's salary is much lower than that of Manchester United and Arsenal, and worse than Liverpool, Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle.

So with Blackburn winning the League Cup, George knew that Blackburn still needed to adjust his salary structure.

Williams nodded. This Williams has already known. The increase in the player's salary must be consistent with the improvement of Blackburn's performance. But now Blackburn's grades have improved quickly, but his salary has not kept up.

But Williams is not embarrassed at all. With the improvement of Blackburn's performance, Blackburn's income also increased. It's no longer a problem to increase some salaries.

............There are a lot of fans coming to pick up.

And there are nearly 20 media, just among these fans. They are all waiting to interview Blackburn, who won the League Cup.

All players are tidying up their appearance. They were very tired all night. But at the thought of meeting fans and the media, they all cheered up.

"Colin, the two of us will take the trophy together later."

"Head, I'm already very happy. It doesn't have to be like this." Hendry knew that it was George's face. In fact, this season's League Cup championship has nothing to do with Hendley.

"No, Colin. You are also the captain of the team.

"Thank you, head."

After the plane drew out of the runway and stopped on the tarmac, reporters and welcoming fans flocked up. Blackburn fans are so enthusiastic that more than 700 fans have been picked up. This made the police responsible for maintaining order a headache and had to transfer police from all over the place to take charge of the order on the scene. They struggled to separate these fans behind the safety line. The scene was a little messy and noisy.

It was not until they saw the cabin door open that it suddenly calmed down.

The police felt that the pressure around them suddenly loosened and raised their heads.

The cabin door slowly opened, and the first one to come out was George. Levy. Seeing George, the emotions of the fans at the scene were mobilized again. George was very happy to see so many fans pick up at the airport. He raised his hand and waved to the welcoming crowd below.

Behind George was Hendry. He and George picked up the trophy side alone, and then the two held high the League Cup championship trophy.

** is coming.

Seeing the trophy raised by George and Hendry, all the fans screamed loudly.

They won't have any dissatisfaction with Hendry's lifting the trophy. Because Hendry is the old captain of Blackburn, he has a high prestige in Blackburn.

"Dear audience... The champion of the UEFA Cup in the 99-00 season is Blackburn." The live TV broadcast gave a big close-up of the trophy in George and Hendry's hands. This is the Champion of the UEFA Cup and the first European Cup in Blackburn's history. Coach Levy is the least champion coach in the history of the League Cup. The 31-year-old League Cup champion coach is really a miracle in world football.

A female anchor spoke very emotionally in front of the camera. The praise for George is also extremely numbing.

With George and Hendry, all the players came out.

Fans are getting excited again. The police who maintain order obviously feel very strong pressure.

George looked at the cheering fans and raised his hand. Those fans who had just squeezed forward immediately calmed down.

"I said that I didn't come to Blackburn to be relegated. My purpose of coming to Blackburn is very simple. I want to win the championship here!"

"George, we believe in you. The champion! Champion!"

George looked at the celebrating fans and suddenly remembered the time when Burnley won the cup championship. At that time, Burnley fans were also so happy and welcomed themselves. George shook his head. It was all in the past.

"I said we would win the League Cup! Do you believe me!"

"Believe! Believe it!"

George said and raised the League Cup championship trophy with Hendry.

"Today is the champion of the League Cup. But I can guarantee that this is not the end, this is just the beginning. Our champions will continue to flow!"

"Woo-woo..."

"George! George!"

Nearly a thousand fans heard George's words and looked up to the sky together.

They fully believe in George. Two years after George came to Blackburn, he has created a team that is the second in the Premier League and the champion of the League Cup. If he is given more time, fans believe that it is possible to win the Premier League and the Champions League.

So after George finished speaking, the fans immediately showed great enthusiasm. The police present obviously felt great pressure.

Coach Levy told Blackburn fans that the UEFA Cup championship is just the beginning. So what does Coach Levy mean? The League Cup championship is the beginning, so what will Coach Levy's goal be? Premier League champion? Champions League champion?

"It's all possible. After all, the current coach Levy is only 31 years old. He has plenty of time to create new miracles. This is a report sent back from BBC TV.

This BBC female reporter is like a fan of George. From the beginning, she praised George very much.

............Because this is the first European Cup champion in Blackburn's history. So the celebration is very grand.

When you get out of the airport, there is already a convoy waiting for Blackburn. Even the police car was used on Blackburn. Police cars escorted the whole process from the airport to Blackburn.

After arriving at Blackburn, the fans who greeted Blackburn were even more full of people. To celebrate the League Cup, more than 100,000 local fans in Blackburn celebrated the championship. Almost the whole city went out to celebrate the championship.

Blackburn has a hundred years of history, with only three top league champions and six FA Cup champions.

Although history is not very glorious, it is not shabby. After all, there are many football clubs in England with a history of more than a hundred years, not to mention a Premier League team. Even if you go to those amateur teams and pick up a club, it may be more than a hundred years old.

But except for the Premier League champion five years ago, other honors were obtained in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

And the European cup championship is the first time in Blackburn's history.

So all Blackburn fans are very excited.

Not to mention Blackburn players. From the end of the game to now, they have been in extreme excitement. Few Blackburn players have any championship experience. Now that I have won the League Cup, I can imagine the excitement in my heart.

Kudicini has not left the League Cup championship trophy since he got on the bus.

Kudicini never dreamed that he could win the UEFA Cup. Two years ago, I was a substitute goalkeeper in the Italian Second Division. At that time, I didn't know where the future would be? But just two years later, he won the League Cup as the main goalkeeper.

Think about whether you really won the League Cup?

Looking at the championship trophy, Kudicini always feels that he is dreaming.

There are many players who think the same as Kudichini. Including Deke. Two years ago, he was an abandoned player of Benfica and could only play in the Portuguese Second Division. At that time, I felt that the future was so vague, and I felt that the future was so uncertain.

Deco clearly remembers that when he first came to Portugal, the staff of the Benfica Club did not take him to the Benfica Club at all. He took himself directly to their satellite club, threw himself there and didn't care about it anymore.

Deko wants to go home, but he can't go back. Deko cursed Benfica and cheated his agent.

So when George found Deco, Deco couldn't wait to leave Portugal. Portugal's impression on Deko is only gray, which brings countless harm to Deco.

But Deko didn't expect that his transfer would be so successful. In just two years, Deco has become one of the most well-known midfielders in the Premier League, leading Blackburn to the League Cup.

Benfica, damn bastard!

Look at you bastard! I'm already the League Cup champion. I have already won the League Cup.

Thinking about it, I think it's a dream. I really won the League Cup.

Blue! The overwhelming blue.

The whole city of Blackburn has become a blue ocean. Looking at the cheering fans, although the Blackburn players are already very tired. But when they saw the fans, they cheered with the fans.

"George! George!"

"George, the fans are shouting your name. Go up and say something." Carl pushed George.

George is also very excited. George was God in Burnley and the most popular coach among fans. George is more popular than all the players in the team. However, when it came to Blackburn, George never expected to get the same treatment as Burnley.

But from the current situation, George's status among Blackburn fans is also rising.

George walked up to the second floor of the bus, took the trophy from Hendry's hand and raised it high. As George raised the trophy, the fans screamed loudly.

"Thank you, thank you!"

The microphone on the bus is directly connected to the stereo. George's voice was magnified several times by the loudspeaker in front of the bus, and it could be heard from afar. With George's voice, the cheers of the fans are getting louder and louder. George stretched out his hand and made a simple gesture. The fans who had just cheered immediately calmed down.

"I am very grateful for your support. The club has everyone's credit for winning the League Cup. I'm very happy. I think all Blackburn fans are celebrating this championship today.

George paused and continued, "When Mr. Walker found me and I became the head coach of Blackburn, I made up my mind. I came to Blackburn to win the championship. As long as it is for victory and for the championship, I can take any means. I don't care what the media thinks of me and what others say about me. As long as you continue to support me, I will continue to pursue victory and championship.

George's words received a warm response from fans.

"I want to tell you that the League Cup champion, this is just the beginning." George suddenly raised his voice. There will be more champions waiting for us in the future. League champion, Champions League champion, as long as we can participate in the game, I will aim to win the championship.

"George, we believe in you!"

"Woo-woo..."

This League Cup champion allowed the whole Blackburn carnival for three days.

Blackburn fans are very excited. In the past few days, all the wines in Blackburn bars are in short supply. The tradition of drinking for English fans is not lost at all.

George doesn't drink much. But I've been drinking all the time these days. During the three days, there was almost no time to wake up.

But George is happy. Even if he was drunk, George was happy.

And the English media has also paid great attention to Blackburn's winning the UEFA Cup.
