Coaching legend

George is also very proud now. George himself did not expect Blackburn to be in such an amazing state this season.

In particular, the attackers Miku, Pires, Klose and Duff in the frontcourt are in very good condition. Klose has maintained his form from last season, scoring seven goals in ten games. And Klose didn't play in all ten games, he played in seven games. Seven goals in seven games, this scoring rate is amazing. Miku's control in the frontcourt is becoming more and more comfortable, and Pires' breakthroughs are becoming more and more sharp.

But no matter what, it is now ten consecutive victories. George was lying if he wasn't excited.

It's just that because there are too many games, there is no time to celebrate. Otherwise, George really wants to celebrate with his players.

On September 23, shortly after the game against Bradford, Blackburn faced Lazio from Italy at home. The game is scheduled for September 28th.

Unlike Blackburn, who have already played ten games, the current Serie A has not even started.

The start of the Serie A season has been postponed to October 1. This means it is one month later than in previous years. Therefore, Lazio has not played in the league so far and has only played two Champions League games.

This has advantages and disadvantages.

Chinese media often encounter situations like Lazio's. But their ability to make excuses is the best in the world.

If the opponent's situation is the same as Lazio's, then once the Chinese team loses the game, the Chinese media will say that the opponent has not played in the league and therefore has sufficient physical strength. As the Chinese clubs play in the league, they are not only distracted, but also physically inferior to their opponents.

Of course, once it is a Chinese club, the situation is the same as Lazio. If the game is lost in the end, the Chinese media will say that the Chinese club has not played in the league yet, so it has not entered the rhythm of the game.

In fact, both statements are reasonable.

If you don't play in the league, it's really not easy to get into the rhythm of the game. But again, Lazio has a physical advantage over Blackburn. But this kind of stuff is just talk. When it comes to the field, it still depends on your true ability.

The three Italian clubs competing in the Champions League this time will have two head-to-head duels.

One is Juventus facing Deportivo La Coruna, and the other is AC Milan facing Barcelona. Both teams were drawn into the group of death.

Milan is okay, with one win and one draw in the first two rounds. The hope of breaking through is still quite high. But Juventus is in very bad shape.

They lost to Arsenal in the first round, and in the second round Juventus was tied one to one by Panathinaikos, the weakest team in the group. Although considered weak during the draw, Panathinaikos showed amazing strength in the first two rounds.

In the first round, they drew with Deportivo La Coruna and in the second round, they drew with Juventus. Juventus only scored one point in two rounds and ranked bottom in this group stage. Arsenal ranks first with one win and one draw, while Deportivo La Coruña and Panathinaikos both have two points.

Juventus has now reached the most important stage. If there is another mistake against Deportivo in this game, Juventus, the Serie A giant, will fall in the group stage.

There are two heavyweight games, but the Italian media is paying more attention to the game between Lazio and Blackburn.

Although Lazio and Blackburn can be considered a strong dialogue, there is basically no problem for the two teams to break out of this group. Even if these two teams compete, they are just competing for first place in the group. But it received more attention than the other two games.

This is mainly because George is too famous, or rather notorious.

George is considered a bad guy in Italian football. Basically everyone in Italian football knows George. George has become a public enemy of Italian football since last year. Since the victory over Roma, George has been criticizing Italian football.

This made the always proud Italian football people very angry, so they also hated George very much.

But so far, George has only played against Roma. And the game was won.

Therefore, Italian football hopes that there will be an Italian club that can teach George, this arrogant and arrogant boy, a lesson.

Lazio's current strength is at its peak. Lazio's lineup is not far behind even when compared with those European football giants. Let Lazio teach George a lesson and let him know how high the sky is and how thick the earth is.

Therefore, many Italian journalists followed Lazio to Blackburn. There are nearly thirty people here, and this is completely the treatment of the Champions League knockout rounds.

Lazio reporters even shouted before the game, "Roma should take a good look at how we dealt with Blackburn."

…………

Blackburn fans are full of enthusiasm for this Champions League itself. And this time Blackburn is coming to a strong team from Italy, last season's Serie A champion.

Blackburn fans don't care who the opponent is?

We defeated Real Madrid, Lazio is nothing!

Therefore, Blackburn fans were even more enthusiastic in this game.

Williams looked at the fans standing on the sidelines because they didn't buy tickets, and he felt more and more happy. The Champions League is such a good competition. The ticket prices alone are more expensive than ordinary league games, but there are still so many fans.

Playing in the Champions League, there are bonuses, broadcast fees, and these tickets. This is a very high income for a club.

However, Williams still had some dissatisfaction.

Ewood Park is too small. It can only accommodate 30,000 people, which is a waste. Although Blackburn is not big, it has 140,000 people. And in the whole Blackburn, there is only one professional club, Blackburn. All Blackburn citizens are supporters of Blackburn.

Moreover, Blackburn is not a big place, but the whole Lancashire is not small. Especially the several non-urban areas next to Blackburn, including Preston, Chorley, Rossendale, and Hindburn. Although they also have their own professional teams, the highest level among those teams is the English League One.

That is Preston Football Club. Except for Preston, other clubs are in the third-level league, the fourth-level league, and even in the national league.

Because the place is very close, fans from Rossendale and Hindburn also came to support Blackburn at this time.

Burnley, where George used to be, was very poor, but Lancashire was not poor. There are many wealthy people in Lancashire. The number and quality of wealthy people in Lancashire are among the best in England.

So in Williams' view, Blackburn's development potential is more than that.

Thirty thousand people is still too small compared to the huge number of fans.

Williams suddenly had the idea of ​​building a new stadium. However, this idea only flashed through his mind. After all, it is definitely not easy to build a new stadium. It requires hundreds of millions of pounds. This is not a small amount.

George came to the field early, without any tension before the war.

George looked at Lazio warming up there and shook his head in his heart. Lazio is so strong now, from goalkeepers to defenders, midfielders, and forwards are all world-renowned players. It's a pity that such a group of good players will fall apart after winning the league championship.

Lazio is also a team that fell after the football bubble, which is quite regrettable.

At this time, Eriksson also came to the sidelines. At this time, Eriksson was in high spirits. The 52-year-old Eriksson has been coaching for more than 20 years. When Eriksson first coached, he was also a young coach of 30 years old.

George is now a very young coach in European football. It is not easy for George to achieve such results at this age.

But Eriksson is no less impressive. At the age of 34, he led the Swedish club Gothenburg to win the UEFA Cup. It was only three years later than George. Later, Eriksson moved around for many years and won several Portuguese league championships in Benfica.

Of course, the most glorious time was in Lazio. During the years in Lazio, he won the Italian Cup and the European Cup Winners' Cup, and last season he won the Serie A championship.

After George knew that Keegan was dismissed, Eriksson became the head coach of the England national team with a high voice.

As the host, George took the initiative to go over and say hello to Eriksson.

Eriksson, when he was a fan in the future, George looked down on him. At that time, he felt that Eriksson was blindly indulging the big names in England, and the England team did not have any outstanding performance under him.

On the contrary, Eriksson always had some scandals in the England national team.

George thought Eriksson was a useless head coach at the time. But he didn't expect that after he came to this world and became an insider, he knew Eriksson's current reputation in European football.

Don't look at Eriksson only having the Cup Winners' Cup and the UEFA Cup, and no heavyweight championships like the Champions League. But Eriksson is currently one of the most popular head coaches in European football. If you haven't really been in European football, you won't know that Eriksson has such a glorious moment in European football at this time.

But George just sighed.

Even if Eriksson is famous, can he compare with Ferguson, Robson, Capello and others? George has defeated these world-class coaches, not to mention Eriksson, who George looks down on.

George and Eriksson played against each other for the first time and met for the first time. The two just said hello politely, and there was nothing to talk about after that.

The warm-up on the spot was very short. After a simple warm-up, everyone returned to the locker room.

"This is a match between the champion of Serie A last season and the second place in the Premier League. Serie A has not started yet, but there is no doubt that Lazio is strong. Blackburn is in amazing form this season and is already six points ahead of second place Manchester United in the Premier League."

"This is a real strong dialogue. A match between a strong Serie A team and a strong Premier League team."

"Eriksson is a famous European coach, and George is the youngest head coach in the Champions League. The clash between them will definitely be very exciting. Let us look forward to a wonderful game."

Motsen started his job as a commentator early.
