Coaching legend

Chapter 219: First League Cup (Part 2)

George was shocked when he saw the crowd of fans in the stadium. George thinks that considering the current situation in Serbia, there should be very few fans. There should be very few fans in this game, but I didn't expect that the entire stadium was completely full.

George shook his head. This is the fans, and there are still so many fans under such circumstances.

"This is George's first European game. George will not turn thirty-one in another month. At thirty-one years old, he can lead a Premier League club to the UEFA Cup at such a young age. George's starting point is higher than anyone else. In three years What were the current coaches doing when they were eleven years old?" Mortensen looked at George, who was dressed neatly and had a serious look on his face, and admired.

"Yeah, there are many head coaches now, which one didn't become famous after they were forty years old. When they were thirty-one, they either hadn't retired or were working as assistant coaches. And George has been the head coach for four years. Coaching experience, and has achieved impressive results in four years." Alan Hansen also echoed Mortensen.

"George is only 31 years old now. Blackburn is so strong in the Premier League, where 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, when facing foreign enemies, they will all be proud of George. After all, George is now a leader among the new generation of local coaches.

George played all his main players in this game. George wants to decide the outcome in one game. Only by winning in the away game can George have no worries.

After this game, Blackburn will face two strong opponents in a row. They met Arsenal and Manchester United one after another, and then came the second game of the first round of the UEFA Cup. Only if Partizan Belgrade is solved cleanly in this game, we will not lose sight of one thing and lose the other when Arsenal and Manchester United play.

After the game started, Blackburn players were indeed a little uncomfortable with the field. Several passes were fumbled.

But the strength of Partizan Belgrade is indeed too poor. They simply failed to grasp the counterattack opportunity that appeared after such a mistake.

"The quality of the turf was poor and Blackburn made a lot of bad passes."

"This kind of turf quality has a greater impact on Blackburn. But there is no way. Serbian stadiums cannot be compared with English stadiums." Mortensen and Alan Hansen also saw the problem with the turf.

After the game lasted for about twenty minutes, Blackburn had gradually adapted to the lawn. The passing game is also starting to look more normal.

Although it was at home, Partizan Belgrade did not put much pressure on Blackburn. Therefore, Blackburn completely suppressed the guerrillas.

In the 26th minute, Miku once again passed the guerrillas' midfielder on the court and passed a beautiful diagonal pass to Pires on the left.

"... Miku, passed the ball... This pass directly penetrated the Partizan defense... Pires, a beautiful offload... The ball was passed without hesitation with his left foot!"

Pires successfully countered offside and unloaded the ball very beautifully with his left foot. The ball stopped at his feet, but the Partizan defender still caught up. Pires did not continue to break through, but made a cross with his left foot into the penalty area.

"Klose! Klose! This is Klose, a beautiful header!" Mortensen shouted when he saw Klose running forward and diving to the top. "Klose's header was beautiful! The ball went in and Blackburn led 1-0 away from home!"

"This is George's first UEFA Cup goal in his coaching career. It's Klose again. Klose's form these days is really amazing. This is already the seventh goal Klose has scored for Blackburn this season. . Don't forget that Klose only scored nine goals in a season. "Klose is completely transformed," Mortensen explained at a rapid pace.

"Speaking of Klose's header, I really can't believe it. Klose is only 1.84 meters tall, but he can header the ball in front of a 1.9-meter defender without losing any advantage. This is completely Because of Klose's excellent awareness, and only with awareness, can he truly become a header master. Klose's header ability can rank among the top three in the Premier League. "Alan Hansen saw that. Luo Ze's header was greatly appreciated.

"Klose's header is definitely second to none among Premier League forwards. I think in one or two years, his header ability will definitely be the best among forwards in the world." Mortensen also admired Klose's header ability. .

"If Klose maintains his current form, it is only a matter of time before he enters the German national team. Even if he becomes the main forward of the German national team, it is only a matter of time."

Mortensen and Alan Hansen were praising Klose, and George was also inexplicably excited off the court. No matter how ambitious George is, this goal is also his team's first goal in the UEFA Cup. When George became Burnley's head coach, he also dreamed of leading Burnley to compete in European competitions.

Four years later, George finally led his team and took the first step to conquer Europe.

After scoring a goal, Blackburn became much easier to play. Partizan were unwilling to be beaten at home by Blackburn, so they started attacking. Once they attack, there will be more loopholes.

The game reached thirty-three minutes, less than ten minutes before the last goal. Another very beautiful direct pass from Miku, and Duff got the ball on the right.

In terms of dominance, Miku is not as good as Zidane, but in terms of threatening passes, Miku is definitely not worse than Zidane, or even better than Zidane. Zidane knows how to mobilize the game and control the rhythm of the game, while Miku's direct threat exceeds Zidane.

In terms of speed, Duff is faster than Pires, and Pires' greater advantage is technology.

Unlike Pires' playing style, Duff directly inserted into the opponent's penalty area after getting the ball.

Duff's characteristics made him very comfortable in Mourinho's winger tactics later. Duff's playing style is not like a winger, but more like a winger. After breaking in, before the opponent's defender reacts, it is a close shot at a small angle.

"Duff...very fast, the angle is very small, how will Duff handle it...shoot!"

"Beautiful! Duff's powerful shot, the ball rolled into the goal from the near post. 2-0, Blackburn is already leading by two goals away from home. It seems that George's words about winning the League Cup are definitely not a joke."

Seeing Duff's goal, George clenched his fists fiercely. He knew that this game was definitely won, and he would definitely pass the first round.

The subsequent games were always under the control of Blackburn.

The players of the Guerrilla team worked very hard. Although they fell behind, they did not give up at all. However, the huge gap in strength made their struggle useless.

In the 72nd minute of the second half, Miku received a pass from Klose and shot through the goal of the Guerrilla team again.

After leading by three goals, George replaced Miku, Pires and Duff. Because three days later, Blackburn will face Arsenal at home. George wants to maintain their physical strength.

In the end, Blackburn defeated Partizan 3-0 away, making the second game almost useless. Partizan's head coach also understood this and was quite frustrated. Looking at George's young face, he shook hands with George with a wry smile.

"I believe Serbian football will definitely rise again." George looked at the Partizan head coach who was smiling bitterly in front of him and encouraged him.

In such a difficult situation, there are still so many fans who support the team and these hard-working players. With them, as long as the situation in Serbia gets better, George believes that Serbian football will definitely rise again.

"Thank you."

George was in a good mood after winning the first UEFA Cup game.

Although it was the first round of the UEFA Cup, it has not received much attention from European media. But there are still many reporters from continental European media who came to interview George. George put on a cool expression, regardless of whether he was an English reporter or a reporter from other European countries.

"My goal this season is very clear, which is the UEFA Cup. The UEFA Cup is our Blackburn's highest goal."

English reporters all know that George has always been a big mouth. Moreover, in the English football world, George has already said arrogantly that Blackburn will definitely win the UEFA Cup. So the English reporters did not say much, but those reporters from other European countries who interviewed George for the first time were stunned.

An Italian reporter asked George in confusion.

"Coach Levy means that Blackburn will win the UEFA Cup this season?"

George looked at the Italian reporter in front of him and nodded with a smile.

"Except for the championship in the cup, everything else is a failure. I don't want to be a loser." George did not answer directly, but he had made his meaning clear.

The Italian reporter opened his mouth wide, having never seen such a crazy coach.

"Are you sure it's the UEFA Cup champion?" The Italian reporter who did not give up bit the words "UEFA Cup champion" heavily.

This year Juventus also participated in the UEFA Cup, and there will be more Champions League eliminated teams entering the UEFA Cup in the future. Who dares to say that the UEFA Cup is guaranteed. The current UEFA Cup is still quite valuable, and it is a completely different level of European Cup competition from the Europa League ten years later.

"Do you have a problem with your ears? Do you need me to introduce you to a very famous ear specialist?"

George did not give the Italian reporter any face and left directly after saying that. Italian reporters, what does it have to do with him? George did not give face to English reporters. Italian reporters were nothing in George's eyes.

Some reporters nearby even laughed when they heard George's sarcastic words.

This made the Italian reporter angry and embarrassed, and he remembered this arrogant and rude young English coach in his heart.
