Coaching legend

"Hello, Colin."

It was already July 17th, and the World Cup had already ended for five days. When fans around the world wanted to see how the alien Ronaldo led the Brazilian national team to win the World Cup, Ronaldo performed abnormally in the World Cup final.

Zidane scored two headers in the final, allowing the French team to win the World Cup for the first time at home. At the same time, a world-class superstar began to be born, that is, Zidane, who represents this era.

Speaking of which, Zidane is not a late bloomer. Zidane, who performed well in Cannes, later transferred to Bordeaux. In Bordeaux, Zidane not only won the Ligue 1 Best Player, French Footballer of the Year and other honors. In the 95-96 season, he led Bordeaux to the UEFA Cup final. Although the game was lost, Zidane's wonderful performance still attracted the attention of European giants.

Zidane had another famous battle before, which was his first appearance in the national team. Zidane's debut was as a substitute. At that time, the Czech team was leading the French team by 2 goals. In the remaining 27 minutes, the fledgling Zidane scored two goals in a row to help the French team equalize the score.

After transferring to Juventus, Zidane quickly became the core of Juventus. But even with such achievements, it may be because Ronaldo and some super strikers in the world football at that time were too famous, overshadowing Zidane. Before the French World Cup, Zidane was not very famous.

But the two headers in the French World Cup final immediately made Zidane famous in the world football.

George watched the live broadcast of this final, not that George had not seen it before. But this French World Cup is basically no different from George's memory in his previous life. George knows that this little butterfly has not yet affected the great development of world football.

This should be related to the fact that he has been in the low-level league in England and has not been able to directly affect the general trend of world football. But George believes that with his move to Blackburn, George, the little butterfly, will have a greater impact on world football. George couldn't predict how the World Cup and the European Cup would change in the future.

Of course, George didn't have so much time to think about these things. These were just thoughts that flashed through his mind occasionally. George didn't have time to think about these big things.

Now George is most concerned about Blackburn's new season. George bought so many players in the new season, more than ten people. It can be regarded as a major change of blood for Blackburn, so George needs stability. Someone is needed to stabilize the club. George thought about it and this person can only be Blackburn's old captain Colin Hendry.

But Hendry has decided to leave Blackburn, so George will urgently meet Hendry.

Hendry is not only the old captain of Blackburn, but also the captain of the Scottish national team. In this year's World Cup in France, Hendry will lead the Scottish team as the captain of the Scottish national team to the World Cup. The blond Hendry is not the best defender in the world. Even in his heyday, he is not a world-class defender.

Hendry, who is now 33 years old, is not necessarily much stronger than the 20-year-old Gallas in terms of strength. Maybe not even as good as Gallas.

But George is not interested in Hendry because of his strength. If we only talk about strength, Gallas and Hyypia are more suitable. The reason why George urgently met Hendry is that Hendry is a banner of Blackburn. In the history of Blackburn football, Hendry will definitely occupy a position.

Hendry is one of the key people of Blackburn at present and one of the most prestigious players. Although he is not the best defender in the world, when he puts on the Blackburn uniform, he is a tough guy, a world-class central defender!

George needs Hendry, and Blackburn, which has undergone a major change, needs Hendry.

"Hello, Coach Levy." Hendry shook hands with George unnaturally.

This head coach who is younger than himself, there have been many dirty things between the two. Especially last season, Hendry was sent off with a red card for kicking Klose. In the subsequent press conference, George criticized Hendry for being banned for life, saying that Hendry should not set a bad example for young people.

Hendry was not a good person either. He hit back at George the next day. George should be careful about his words and deeds.

At that time, George and Hendry were very lively in the media. Unexpectedly, George became the head coach of Blackburn in just a few months.

"Colin, I heard that you are going back to Scotland?" Hendry wanted to return to his roots and return to the Scottish League.

"Well, I think I am old and no longer suitable for the Premier League."

"Colin, I don't want to hide it from you. I was unsure when I entered Blackburn. I hope you can stay." George went straight to the point. "You should know that Blackburn is at a crossroads now. If it develops well, it may restore its original glory. But once you take a wrong step, it may be doomed."

Hendry understood that George's doomed means that Blackburn is likely to be relegated to the English League One. Hendry has been in Blackburn for a long time and has a deep affection for Blackburn. It is completely incomparable with George, an outsider who came to Blackburn for work. But Hendry still hesitated.

"Coach Levy, I'm old. I can't keep up with the intensity of the Premier League anymore."

George has no bargaining chips for Hendry. This is already a successful veteran, and there is nothing to linger on. The only thing George can persuade Hendry is Hendry's feelings for Blackburn.

"Colin, I won't hide it from you. I have cleaned up a large number of players since I took over Blackburn, and bought a lot of new players. Now is the most unstable time for Blackburn, and I need you to stay in Blackburn. Don't say that you still have the strength to play games now. Even if you are really old, I hope you can help me stabilize the locker room and fans."

"You should know that I was the head coach of Burnley before, and I had a bad relationship with many Blackburn players and fans. Once any problem occurs, Blackburn will have a bleak future this season."

There are no big problems in the locker room. After all, most of the players were bought by George. But George has no way to help the fans, and needs the help of veterans like Hendry.

Hendry was somewhat moved by George's sincere words, but he was more worried about the future of Blackburn. These days, because the media's reports focus on the World Cup, there are fewer reports on the club. Therefore, Hendry was not very clear about George's move to clean up the players.

Hearing George's words, Hendry knew that the intensity of this major change must be considerable. This made Hendry very worried about Blackburn. Although he did not have a good impression of George, Hendry was still quite convinced of George's coaching ability.

But George's biggest weakness was that he was too young. Although he had the League Cup and the FA Cup, he was still a junior coach for the players of Blackburn. Whether he could control Blackburn was a big problem.

Once there was a problem, Blackburn might really be relegated to the First Division. This was something Hendry was very reluctant to see.

"Coach Levy, give me some time to think about it." Hendry was originally ready to leave Blackburn, and even the house was almost vacated. But after hearing George's words, he began to hesitate again.

After hearing Hendry's words, George understood that Hendry should be almost fine.

"Colin, I hope to make a decision soon. There will be many new players coming this season, and you, as the old captain, should help them integrate into Blackburn."

(I wanted to update three times, but it's too difficult. Brother, I will write a few more words in one chapter in the future, so I'll go back to two updates. I'm really sorry.)
