coach legend

Chapter 220

For other teams, a UEFA Cup victory is simply not worth cheering.But for Blackburn, it was a fantastic win.

When Blackburn fans won the Premier League, they were also imagining Blackburn's performance in the Champions League.But the fans soon discovered that the club's performance in the Champions League was extremely stink.In the Champions League that year, it was completely soy sauce, and even some Eastern European teams performed far better than Blackburn.

After the Premier League championship, Blackburn never had the chance to taste European games.

That's why they attach so much importance to the first round of the UEFA Cup.

When the away [-]-[-] victory over Guerrillas ended, the whole Blackburn was a complete sensation.Just like winning the Premier League championship, fans think this is a good start.They were even more delighted with George's rhetoric about winning the UEFA Cup.

Blackburn has not known how many years there has been such an ambitious coach.This is a performance of confidence, Blackburn fans are willing to support George.

Other media in England don't pay much attention to it, but the local media in Blackburn attaches great importance to this victory.

"The first step to conquer Europe!"

Steven Yellen even used such an exaggerated headline in the "Blackburn Evening News".

In it, Yellen even said that Blackburn will win the UEFA Cup first, and then go to the Champions League.Anyway, the young Steven Yellen praised the current Blackburn and George in the newspapers.I think the current Blackburn already has the strength to challenge England's strong teams and European giants.

But Yellen's comments were quickly refuted by other media.Even Mark Lawrence, who had always been at odds with George, laughed at Blackburn for not seeing the world.A small victory in the first round of the UEFA Cup made them ecstatic.

What is the first round of the UEFA Cup? Even if you enter the top 32 or top [-] of the UEFA Cup, you can brag about it.Is it too early to brag?It looks like a bunch of bumpkins.

Mark Laurenson satirized Blackburn severely.That tone is that when I followed Liverpool to sweep Europe, I was not so arrogant. You little Blackburn dare to pretend!

Before George responded to Mark Lawrenson's taunt, Steven Yellen mocked Liverpool in the newspaper. "Blackburn's UEFA Cup victory is not in your eyes, but it's a pity that Liverpool didn't even have to play the UEFA Cup."

This sentence angered Liverpool.With the decline of Liverpool's performance in recent years, Liverpool's most important thing now is their face.What Liverpool fans are most willing to talk about is their glorious history.Needless to say, the glory of Liverpool's history, otherwise, how could it be said that Liverpool is the number one giant in England.

As England's No. [-] giants, they are most concerned about face.The face of a wealthy family.

Now Steven Yellen is blatantly mocking Liverpool for not even having to play in the UEFA Cup, which is to hit England's No. [-] giant in the face.And it was still in front of so many people in English football, how could they bear it.

Among the newspapers, "Liverpool Echo" first recalled the glory of Liverpool from the 70s to the 80s.Then ask Blackburn. "When Liverpool won the Champions League, what league were Blackburn in? Have Blackburn been in the Champions League final?"

This kid Yellen may have stayed with George for a long time, and he has also learned George's acrimony. "The Premier League has been established for eight years. Has Liverpool ever touched the league championship trophy? We Blackburn also won the league championship four years ago."

It turned out to be a verbal fight between George and Mark Lawrenson, but it turned out to be a verbal fight between Blackburn and Liverpool.The biggest positions are the "Liverpool Echo" and "Blackburn Evening News".

Of course, compared with the "Echo", the influence of the "Blackburn Evening News" is much lower.With this scolding battle, the "Blackburn Evening News" can be said to be in the limelight.And Steven Yellen, a small reporter, relied on the scolding with the "Liverpool Echo" to spread his name in the English media circle.

George looked at this inexplicable scolding battle and shook his head.

Damn, Blackburn and Liverpool have no feuds in the past and have no feuds in the present.Even if George and Mark Lawrenson didn't fight each other, the relationship with Mark Lawrence's other partner, Alan Hansen, wasn't too bad.

And although he was rejected by the chairman of Liverpool last year, George still has a good impression of David Morse.Has the demeanor of the president of a big club.

So George didn't think about any conflict with Liverpool, but he didn't expect Steven Yellen to go to war with Liverpool.

…………

"George, look at this."

In addition to focusing on training in the past two days, George has only read the rumors in the newspaper.Although the game against Arsenal is about to begin, George is still in the mood to read the newspaper.I didn't feel it when I was fighting with each other before, but it was fun to watch others fight.

George looked and shook his head, both teams are too funny.There, Liverpool recalled the Red Army Liverpool that swept Europe that year, while Blackburn remembered the Premier League champion four years ago.Talking is sour.

At this moment, Allen came to George's office.

George was puzzled, and took a look. It turned out that a French club had already taken a fancy to Essien of Blackburn.

This is not Essien's performance in the Blackburn reserve team and youth team, which has been passed on to the French league.Instead, Essien participated in the New Zealand Under-17 World Youth Championship with Ghana this year, and his outstanding performance attracted the attention of European clubs.

After Essien was transformed into a defensive midfielder by George at Blackburn, he also played in this position in the Ghana national team.In the past, Essien played as a defender, but after switching to play as a midfielder, his performance was even better.Especially in this New Zealand Under-17 World Youth Championship, Essien's performance made all football people shine.

Of course, it is not a few years later, and the major clubs are earning blood for young talents.The value of young talents is also rising.

But Essien's performance in New Zealand still attracted the attention of many clubs.This is not already a club that started asking Blackburn.They certainly don't think that Blackburn will sell Essien now, they just want to rent Essien.

Many mid-lower teams in Ligue [-] live like this.Either the youth training camp is particularly powerful, using their own youth training players to conquer the world.Or some clubs rent some good players in addition to some of their own players.

In fact, there is no need to ask George's opinion so carefully when renting a youth team player.As long as they have a certain opinion, tell George to let George approve.

But because Essien is a young player that George attaches great importance to, Allen and the others have to ask George for his opinion.

"There are four clubs, and one Ligue [-] club. What's your opinion?" George put down the information in his hands. George was not familiar with these Ligue [-] and Ligue [-] clubs.

In the French league, George is only familiar with well-known clubs like Lyon, Bordeaux, and Paris Saint-Germain.Like the current small clubs, George doesn't know anything about them.So I asked Evan.George believes that Evan must have known several clubs.

"We have studied it carefully and think that Metz is the best. Metz has a good coach, and the position of the midfielder is not very abundant now. And Metz has guaranteed the number of times Essien will play."

Hearing Evan’s words, George didn’t answer immediately.

After all, there is a saying that without investigation, there is no right to speak.George doesn't know the status quo of these clubs, so it's hard to answer.But it seems that Essien did not make his debut before Metz.But now everything has changed, Essien's position has changed, even if he changes clubs, it doesn't matter.

I don't know about the others, but this Mace George can be regarded as somewhat impressive.

What Metz is best known for is not their results, but that they have a lot of good young players.George had heard of this.

"Are the other clubs bad?"

"Other clubs have some problems. Either they already have a lot of defensive midfielders, or their club's traditions are not in line with Essien." Evan did not explain carefully, but simply said.

But George believed in Evan, so he nodded.

"What does Alan mean? You should have talked to him too."

Alan Levy's right to speak in Blackburn is growing linearly.At the beginning, it was only because of George, but now Allen is not relying on George.Instead, relying on his status as Deco and Klose's agent, he began to exert his influence in Blackburn.

And recently, relying on his own advantages, he has also seduced some small players from Blackburn.Including Drogba, who George just signed, and Hargreaves last season.Of course, they haven't played their own strength yet.

But Klose and Deco alone have greatly increased Allen's influence in Blackburn.

Essien is also a player under Allen's banner. When a player is on loan, he still has to ask the player what he means.

"Alan tends to Bastia, but Metz has no problem with him. What he means is to find a club that can allow Essien to play, and he doesn't care about the club's performance."

George nodded.Allen, this kid will definitely not care about the results of other clubs.If the results are poor, he will immediately let Essien be loaned to other clubs.Allen is a typical businessman who only considers his own interests.

"I have only one opinion, I don't care which club it is. I only consider one thing, that is, you must find a club with enough opportunities for Essien to play." Now Essien is not yet 17 years old, and needs to use constantly Race to improve yourself.

Therefore, there is not much interest in any club.As long as Essien can be given enough opportunities to play and let him exercise, then George is willing to give them the green light.

"Okay, I see."
