Coaching legend

Guardiola failed to give a clear instruction to the Barcelona players.

This made the Barcelona players on the field somewhat at a loss. Puyol and Pique were very dissatisfied with Toure and Keita always going forward. Because they went forward, the back line was empty. Blackburn's counterattack was accurate.

And the offensive players in front wanted to attack.

They were behind now anyway.

Without the coach's clear instructions, the Barcelona players on the field were in chaos. Attack, can't go on. Defense, it's not appropriate. They started to get confused. They played at a loss.

Fortunately, Guardiola was just absent-minded for a moment.

Soon, Guardiola woke up. Although Guardiola was the head coach for the first time, he was the brain of Barcelona when he was a player. He was the king of Barcelona.

He can be regarded as having seen big storms.

In an instant, Guardiola also gave it his all. He kept waving his hands and asked the team to go forward. Now they are two goals behind. For Guardiola, if they can't equalize, then it doesn't matter if they lose a few more goals.

Barcelona players saw Guardiola's gesture.

The head coach is the core of the team. Seeing Guardiola's instructions, Barcelona players are also desperate.

Barcelona's style of play is no longer the slow and drowsy one. Instead, it speeds up the offensive rhythm.

Blackburn players have completely shrunk to their own goal. Even Drogba has already acted as a defender.

"Champions! We are champions!"

"Long live Blackburn! Long live Blackburn!"

The Olympic Stadium in Rome was full of cheers from Blackburn fans.

The Champions League champions waved to them again, how could they not be excited.

For Barcelona, ​​time is too short and time passes too fast. Then for Blackburn, the remaining time is too long and time passes too slowly.

"... Iniesta, dribble past Maicon... shoot! Oops, it's too high!"

"Messi, pass Essien... Alonso, intercepted by Alonso."

"Xavi, pass straight... Eto'o, shoot! Van der Sar saved it."

Barcelona's number of shots increased suddenly. Unfortunately, these shots were not absolute opportunities, they were all forced shots from the outside.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Five minutes passed quickly.

Barcelona players began to get anxious. When they got the ball from the outside, they didn't think about how to cooperate, they just shot with the ball. Instead, they wasted opportunities again and again.

Five minutes passed in a flash.

"Don't worry, we still have a chance. There are still ten minutes left, we still have a chance. Don't give up, don't give up!" The Catalan commentator looked at Barcelona besieging Blackburn and spoke anxiously.

It's a pity that it's easier said than done.

With only ten minutes left in the game and two goals behind, how could the players not be anxious?

But the more anxious they are, the easier it is for Blackburn to defend.

"Five minutes left, as long as five minutes pass, Blackburn will get the Champions League trophy."

At this time, there was no one sitting on the Blackburn bench. They all stood up shoulder to shoulder, looking at the situation on the field. They were also waiting for the referee's whistle.

Guardiola was already looking at the field dejectedly.

"Champions, we are the champions!"

"Barcelona, ​​go back and dream!"

Blackburn fans were already so happy that they couldn't help themselves. They were all waiting, waiting for the end of the game.

"Toot toot toot-"

"Long live! Long live!" The referee whistled, and all the players on the bench ran up to celebrate.

"Congratulations to Blackburn, congratulations to George. Blackburn defeated Barcelona 3-1 at the Olympic Stadium in Rome and won the 2008-09 Champions League. This is the third time Blackburn has won the Champions League in history. George led Blackburn to the Champions League final three times and won all of them. In 2002, they defeated Real Madrid and in 2004, they defeated Porto. After five seasons, George once again led Blackburn to the top of Europe."

Martin Taylor began to congratulate Blackburn with emotion.

"Blackburn Rovers has been plagued by disasters this season. The Walker family, which owned Blackburn Rovers for nearly 20 years, left Blackburn Rovers, and after the new owner took over, Williams, who was very popular in Blackburn Rovers, also left Blackburn Rovers."

"Both Paul Walker and Williams were very close collaborators of George. George's glory at the beginning of the century was inseparable from their absolute support. Their departure was also the beginning of Blackburn Rovers' turmoil."

"No one believed that Blackburn Rovers would perform well. Because of the morale fluctuations, Blackburn Rovers slipped from a contender for the league title to a position where they could only compete for a place in the Champions League qualifiers."

Martin Taylor has begun to summarize this season.

"Even in such a turbulent club, George managed to lead Blackburn to win the Champions League. And in this season's Champions League, George had a thrilling game like slaughtering Real Madrid 5-0 at the Bernabeu."

"Congratulations to George. George is a famous coach in the world of football. He has just turned 40, and has achieved achievements that many coaches dare not imagine in their lifetime."

"Now there are rumors everywhere that George will leave Blackburn this season. If Said is smart, he should not let George go."

"This year marks the eleventh anniversary of George's appointment to Blackburn. In the past eleven years, George has won three Champions League titles, three Premier League titles, one League Cup title, one FA Cup title, one League Cup title, plus the European Super Cup and Toyota Cup, and has won countless titles of varying sizes. In the past eleven years, George has led a small Premier League team and created a miracle in football. A true miracle."

"George is the greatest coach in Blackburn's history. Said should not let him go."

"Of course, even if he leaves Blackburn, with George's achievements, I believe those giants will line up to wait for him."

George is leaving Blackburn, and this is definitely not a rumor.

After George won the Champions League in 2004, Paul gave George a five-year contract. It ended in 2009.

If Paul was still there, George and Paul would have already started negotiating a new contract. But after Paul left and Said took over, the two of them tacitly did not discuss the new contract.

George's contract will end in June this year.

After Said took over Blackburn, especially in the first half of this year, he almost never contacted George. In the first half of the year, George could count the number of times he had seen Said on his five fingers.

Said seemed to be unaware that George's contract was about to expire. Said was like this, let alone George. Since Williams left, George had been quite dissatisfied with Said. Even if Said wanted to keep George, George would have to think about it.

Now that Said was so cold to George, George would not be so shameless to stick to him. There were countless clubs that wanted to negotiate with George now.

Therefore, the two of them seemed to have a tacit understanding, and no one would meet, and no new contract would be discussed when they met.

The two were just waiting for the last moment. When the contract expired, the two sides would naturally have no relationship.

George, who was celebrating on the sidelines, of course thought of these.

Looking at the excited players and the enthusiastically celebrating fans there, George suddenly felt very sad.

Blackburn?

If George said that he had no feelings for Blackburn, how could that be possible? In eleven years, even stones would have feelings. Moreover, George reached the peak of his coaching career at Blackburn.

Here, George became a world-class coach.

Here, there are fans who support George. All the players in the team were carefully selected by George one by one.

For eleven years, George almost regarded Blackburn as his home.

Blackburn has too many memories of George. Jack Walker, who has passed away, Paul Walker, who cried like a child when he left the club, and Williams, who has been silently contributing to the club.

Now I have to leave, and I am really upset.

So watching the players celebrate there, George's eyes are wet. This is the last championship left for Blackburn before he leaves.

The emotion of parting permeates the whole body.

The joy of the Champions League champion and the sorrow of parting are mixed together.

George suddenly heard the sound of his heart beating, and he beat faster and faster. His breathing became more and more rapid, and George felt a little breathless.

"George, George. What's wrong with you?"

Karl found that George was a little abnormal, so he pushed George.

George was horrified.

Hurry up and calm yourself down. Finally, his breathing slowly returned to normal, and his heartbeat was no longer so strong. George suddenly remembered what the doctor said.

If you get excited, you will suffocate and faint.

Could it be true?

George remembered the difficulty in breathing just now, and was horrified.

"I'm fine. I'm just a little excited." George smiled and nodded to Carl. But Carl found that George's face had turned a little blue just now.

Before George could calm himself down completely, countless reporters surrounded George.

There were too many questions for them.

Winning the Champions League, defeating Barcelona, ​​and George's future. These were the focus of the reporters' questions.

But George didn't say much. He just smiled and simply said the joy of winning the Champions League. As for his future, George didn't say much. He said lightly that he would talk to Said and then decide his future.

George is not as aggressive as before.

But Blackburn players are different.

In this game, Drogba, the hero of one shot and one pass, faced the reporters with his nose up, just like George. "Dream Team, how many Champions Leagues do Barcelona have? We Blackburn have three Champions League titles. Do Dream Team have more Champions League titles than us?"

The reporters were stunned.

Why didn't I see before that Drogba was so good at insulting people.

In fact, it was not only Drogba, but all Blackburn fans were mocking Barcelona in unison. "Three times, three times. We have three Champions League titles. Dream Team, how many Champions League titles do you have?"

They even made these words into a song on the spot and sang them non-stop.

Three times, three Champions League titles.

In the history of the Champions League, Blackburn even surpassed Barcelona, ​​Inter Milan, Juventus and other giants and won three Champions League titles.
