Coaching legend

"Coach Levy, do you have any prospects for the Champions League final?"

When George came to Rome, there were many reporters surrounding George. The game hasn't started yet, but there are sixty or seventy people just greeting reporters. It can also fully see George's value in the eyes of reporters.

"We have entered the finals, what are our prospects? I came to Rome with only one goal. That is to take the trophy home."

George is not a coward.

We have almost entered the Champions League finals, and if we don’t dare to shout the championship slogan, then we can go to hell.

"So what do you think of your opponents?"

During this period, the biggest topic in European football is the war of words between George and Barcelona.

"Barcelona? If Barcelona wins the Champions League this season, it will be the biggest shame in the Champions League in half a century. I want them to know that even if they enter the finals by relying on evil methods, they will not win the championship. The championship is You have to have a real sword and a real gun, and you have to use your strength to get it.”

At this time, George still did not forget to ridicule Barcelona.

George's purpose is simple.

Before the game, keep mocking Barcelona. So that the Barcelona players can keep a breath of air in their hearts. As long as one of them cannot calm down, their playing style will suffer a fatal blow.

George's naked irony made some Catalan reporters present very dissatisfied.

"Coach Levi, are you really sure you can beat Barcelona?"

George didn't answer directly.

Instead, he looked at the front carefully, and then spoke slowly. "Rome is a great place, and the Stadio Olimpico has given me many wonderful memories."

At first, the reporter didn’t understand what George was saying.

But a reporter quickly reacted. The Italian reporter, in particular, looked unhappy. Because George has been to Rome several times since leading Blackburn. Especially in the first few years, George's Blackburn met the Roma club almost every year.

Unfortunately, both Roma and Lazio failed to live up to expectations.

If you meet Blackburn once, you will be humiliated by Blackburn once.

At that time, George's nostrils were almost in the sky. Blame Italian football every day. It is very embarrassing for Italian football.

Unexpectedly, after all these years, George would talk about this matter again.

"The Stadio Olimpico is my blessing. I love it here."

What George said after arriving in Rome certainly reached the ears of the Barcelona players.

They have regarded George as Barcelona's biggest enemy. If the person Barcelona hated most before was Mourinho, then at this moment, all their anger was directed at George.

The tense atmosphere between George and Barcelona also made the police in Rome greatly dissatisfied. In particular, the police spokesman hoped that George could control his temper at the press conference. Don't add to their burden.

Although the environment in English football has improved a lot in recent years. It can even be said that the English league is the best in European leagues in terms of organization and on-site order maintenance. But the inherent impact won't go away that easily.

English football hooligans are famous. They had too many bad deeds in the past. It can be said to be full of bad things.

Therefore, English fans have been quite honest in recent years, but when European football talks about football hooligans, English football hooligans must come to mind.

Now tens of thousands of Blackburn fans have poured into Roma. And Barcelona fans are not easy to mess with. As a gathering place of regionalism in Spain, fans in Catalonia are also not easy to deal with.

This situation itself has given the Roman police a headache.

Now George is still attacking Barcelona, ​​and Barcelona is also arguing with George.

Isn't this inciting fans of the two teams to cause trouble? If any fan riots occur, the reputation of the Roman police will be in disrepute. Therefore, these days, the Roman police do not dare to be careless at all.

…………

May 27, 2009, Rome Olympic Stadium.

There were huge crowds of people, really huge crowds of people.

No matter how much George criticizes Barcelona, ​​he has to admit that Barcelona has far more fans than Blackburn. In other words, Barcelona's influence in Europe far exceeds that of Blackburn.

This time, Barcelona and Blackburn each received 30,000 tickets. The remaining more than 20,000 tickets were given to neutral fans.

Obviously, most of the neutral fans who got the tickets support Barcelona.

More than 80,000 fans poured into the stadium, putting the police in Rome on alert.

Although Barcelona fans and Blackburn fans were not next to each other, the police set up isolation areas in every other stand. I'm afraid they'll fight.

Of course they couldn't fight.

But there is still some sarcasm between each other.

Blackburn fans sang a song, mocking Barcelona for reaching the Champions League final through crooked ways. Said they did not deserve to enter the Champions League final.

Blackburn was able to satirize this.

But Barcelona fans' attack on Blackburn is not just a little bit.

They started with Blackburn's new boss and kept teasing. By the end, they were shouting, "Will we see George Levy next season?"

"Who will be in the Blackburn dugout next season?"

"Kaka, do you want Footballer of the Year? Come to our Barcelona, ​​our Barcelona welcomes you!"

The Barcelona fans' attack hit the Blackburn fans seven inches straight.

Angry Blackburn fans doubled down on their sarcastic comments about Barcelona's shameful approach to Rome.

At this time, the players of both sides have already started to enter the field.

"This is the Olympic Stadium in Rome. The 2009 Champions League final will be held here. The two teams in the game are Blackburn from the Premier League and Barcelona from La Liga."

"Barcelona has caused countless controversies because of the semi-finals of the Champions League. Yes, controversy. Chelsea is not convinced, and the opponent Blackburn in this game has been constantly attacking Barcelona with this matter. George even claimed that it is a shame to meet Barcelona in the final."

"Now Barcelona has only one way to prove it. That is to defeat Blackburn cleanly in this Olympic Stadium in Rome. Let everyone see the strength of Barcelona. This is also the only way to calm this matter."

Martin Taylor commented on this game.

Martin Taylor clearly grasped Barcelona's thoughts.

Yes, now Barcelona players are holding their breath. They are very angry about the accusations of others, especially George's insults. But for this kind of thing, no matter how you defend it, it is useless. They have determined that you have entered the Champions League final by improper means.

What is the best way to wash away this statement?

That is to defeat Blackburn. And it was an indisputable performance, a clean and neat victory over Blackburn.

Only in this way can the problems in the semi-finals be truly resolved.

Of course, this is what George hopes for.

The more the Barcelona players think about this, the happier George is.

George walked to the center of the court leisurely and found that Guardiola was already standing there, waiting for George to come in.

"Hello, Coach Guardiola."

George walked over with a smile on his face as if he had seen an old friend. And he shook hands with him very enthusiastically.

Guardiola's face instantly turned iron blue.

Guardiola had just become a coach. The team he led was hailed as the Dream Three, and Guardiola was very young. Guardiola was only 38 years old, a real young coach. It was the time of high spirits.

Unfortunately, before anything happened, he was scolded by George. And George was completely sarcastic without leaving face. This made Guardiola, who didn't like to fight with others, very depressed.

But now meeting in person made Guardiola even more stunned.

George, this coach, is too shameless. Just a few hours ago, he was still mocking himself in front of the media. Now in the stadium, he is as enthusiastic as an old friend who has been reunited after a long time.

Hypocrisy! Damn hypocrisy!

This is the only adjective Guardiola can think of.

Looking at the enthusiastic George, Guardiola is not used to it and can only smile awkwardly.

"Hello."

Guardiola can only greet like this.

"Young man, don't be hit by rumors. Work hard." George said this earnestly and left there.

Guardiola was left standing there in a daze.

Guardiola couldn't help but give George a middle finger behind him.

What is a young man? George is only two years older than Guardiola, but George has been a coach for a longer time. He actually said young people so bluntly, which made Guardiola laugh and cry.

As for what rumors?

It made Guardiola crazy. Damn, all the rumors were started by George. But now...

In all these years in football, I have seen many thick-skinned people. But this is the first time I have seen someone as thick-skinned as George.

"It seems that although George and Guardiola had some quarrels before the game, they were still very restrained on the field." Martin Taylor saw the two of them shaking hands with a smile and saying a few words, so he also smiled and explained.

"Hahaha, Martin. Do you really think so?"

Andy Gray laughed beside him. "Look at George's smile. I think it has bad intentions."

"Hahaha."

Martin Taylor laughed loudly. But he did not continue the topic.

In fact, George does have a criminal record.

In the Premier League, George always uses words to squeeze people when greeting the opposing coach on the field.

Martin Taylor and Andy Gray both have a wide network of contacts in the English football world. They have heard about George's point a long time ago. They believe that George will definitely be no exception in this game.

Because it is the Champions League final, there are still some activities before the game.

But this activity does not last very long.

"The 2009 Champions League final is finally about to begin. Alves and Abidal from Barcelona are both suspended and unable to play in the final. Guardiola replaced them with Toure and Keita. Barcelona's defense should have some problems."

"Blackburn has a full complement of players."

"The two sides had a war of words before the game, but the outcome will still be determined on the field. Let us look forward to a wonderful Champions League final."
