Coaching legend

Time flies, and it is already October. It has been four months since George took over Blackburn.

On October 3, George led Blackburn to the King Power Stadium in a noisy atmosphere. The King Power Stadium is the home of Leicester City Club. This is the eighth round of the Premier League.

Although George has tried his best to appease these players, and they have also worked hard. But the influence of 0 to 8 has not disappeared. The final score of this game is 0 to 1. If it weren't for Leicester City's waste of opportunities, Blackburn might have lost three or four in this game.

But even so, it is worse for Blackburn now.

In eight rounds of games, Blackburn only achieved four draws and four losses, and only accumulated four points. So far, Blackburn has only scored three goals. Only three goals in eight rounds of the league are unique among Premier League teams.

Still ranked last in the Premier League, it is the most popular team to be relegated.

More importantly, they can't see hope in the current Blackburn. Facing Everton and Leicester City, these mid-level teams, Blackburn did not show the strength to defeat the opponent. Even in front of Leicester City, George's Blackburn is completely like a team in English League One or English League Two. This is what many people criticize Blackburn for.

With no victory in eight rounds of the league, George's position as coach is becoming more and more uncertain.

Many media have analyzed that George's road at Blackburn has come to an end. Even many media have listed the timetable for George's dismissal. Some people also said that Jack Walker has been unable to tolerate George's performance and decided to dismiss George immediately.

Anyway, George is firmly ranked first in the odds of Premier League clubs' head coaches being dismissed.

The pressure on George is also increasing, and George already feels that he can't breathe. Those annoying media are chasing George to ask questions every day. And now the atmosphere within the team is getting worse and worse. This is the first time George has encountered this situation.

George doesn't know how to manage the team at this time, how to restore the confidence of the players. Now even George's position as coach is uncertain, how many players will listen to George's words? There are only two people, Klose and Deco.

Needless to say, Klose has an extraordinary relationship with George. Deco is grateful to George for bringing him from Portugal to England. But that's all.

Now George is facing the doubts of the entire team. George can ignore the doubts of the media and the doubts of the fans. But the doubts of the players in the team are fatal to George.

George doesn't know what methods those famous coaches will use to boost the morale of the team after the defeat. But now George is really helpless. George doesn't know what he should do to make the team return to normal.

"Do you think I came to Blackburn in the wrong place? I am not suitable to coach a Premier League club now?" George asked in a low voice.

Evan and Carl looked at each other. They knew that the recent results put a lot of pressure on George. But now George is so lost and listless, it still makes them very unbearable. They are all heroes who have created miracles with George in Burnley.

They don't want to see George discouraged like this, after all, the head coach is the backbone of the team.

George didn't do this when the results were not good in the first few rounds. It was after that hateful 0-8 that George became what he is now.

"George, where are you? It's only eight rounds of the league now. There are still 30 rounds. As long as we get enough points later, we still have a lot to do." Carl and George have known each other for ten years, and he has never seen George so decadent. So he frowned and talked to George.

"Thirty rounds, how long can I stay in this position." George has not talked face to face with the club's top management these days. Even if he is a club executive, such a result will definitely not keep the head coach in that position.

Neither Evan nor Carl answered George's words. It can be said that George has the worst performance among all Blackburn coaches after entering the Premier League. Dalglish, the meritorious coach, is not to be mentioned. Ray Shaft and Hodgson have much better performance than George now.

In terms of power in the club, George has more power than any other coach. Even Blackburn's meritorious coach Dalglish does not have as much power in the team as George. But the results now are terrible.

How long George can stay in this position, even they are not sure now.

"Ding-ling-ling--" In the silence, the phone rings so abruptly.

"I am George Levy."

"Brother George, turn on the TV quickly. No, turn on the computer."

Hearing Miranda's words, George turned on his computer. It happened to be a press conference held by John Williams. When a reporter asked about George's current record and coaching position, Williams answered very seriously.

"The club invited Coach Levy after very serious consideration. We believe that Coach Levy can lead Blackburn to a glorious future. That's why we chose Coach Levy among many coaches. The so-called news that Coach Levy was dismissed is all false."

"I can guarantee here, and I ask everyone here to witness it with me. The club has absolutely no intention of firing Coach Levy, not before, not now, and never in the future. Our contract with Coach Levy is three years The club is very willing to fulfill this three-year contract and has no intention of changing it midway.”

"Even if Blackburn Rovers were unfortunately relegated this season, our club has not changed the mind of the head coach. Since Coach Levy can lead Burnley from the English League Two to the Premier League, we believe that even if the club is relegated, he will have a way Can lead the club back to the Premier League. Therefore, the news that Coach Levy will be dismissed are all rumors. The club hereby seriously declares that regardless of Coach Levy's performance, our club will definitely fulfill the three-year contract. All the journalists in the country can bear witness to what I said today.”

"As for the current results, that's just because the team is newly built, and it is inevitable that the results will fluctuate. We had already thought about this clearly when we invited Coach Levy. We have all been mentally prepared for the current results. . We believe that under the leadership of Coach Levy, the club will definitely get out of this predicament.”

Williams' categorical words stunned many reporters below. Although many clubs will come out to refute the rumors to stabilize military morale when their head coach's position is questioned. But an unequivocal guarantee like Williams' is definitely rare in football.

Immediately afterwards, a reporter asked what he thought about the fact that the Blackburn fans booed George wildly and did not welcome George at all. Williams gave a rare smile and shook his head.

"The fans are just dissatisfied with the current results, but I still have to tell our fans. Coach Levy is the most suitable coach for us, and he will definitely bring countless honors to Blackburn. I hope our fans Fans can be more patient and give Coach Levi a little more time.”

George was quite grateful when he watched Williams' press conference. Now George can no longer control the locker room.

The reason for not being able to control the locker room is because George's current performance is very poor, and also because George is too young. But it's more related to George's current unstable coaching position. Now, as Williams represents the club to support George, he supports George's coaching position.

As long as the coaching position is stable, there will be no major problems in the locker room. No matter how you say the current Blackburn players, there are no real big-name players. They are still newcomers in England and are not as good as George, a coach who has won the League Cup and the FA Cup.

George couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. Give me some time and I'll be able to get this Blackburn team together. What I need now is time.

George was secretly grateful to Jack Walker. If Jack Walker hadn't had confidence in himself and was willing to believe in himself, he would have been fired by any club president with such achievements.

Just because of Jack Walker's trust, George secretly made up his mind. In the short life that Jack Walker has left, he must be given a better result. Let him see his beloved Blackburn achieve good results before he passes away.

"Evan, Carl, let those guys know starting tomorrow. It's not just me that caused the game to turn out like this."

"Okay." Evan and Carl also responded very excitedly.

…………

Williams came forward to refute the rumors this time, and the impact was still huge. Many newspapers that vowed that George would be dismissed soon were silenced. Because Williams promised in front of many reporters that George would fulfill his three-year contract.

Even if they are relegated this season, the club will not fire them. There are absolutely very few people in football who can guarantee this, and it can even be said to be none.

After Williams had just finished his press conference, Hodgson, who coached Blackburn last season, smiled bitterly in front of the media.

"I think the senior management of Blackburn have a kind of blind trust in George. When I was at Blackburn, I never got support like George. If I can have support like George, I don't think my Blackburn career will be the same." will fail."

Hodgson is a bit sour. Indeed, Hodgson's results at Blackburn are far better than George's now. Blackburn's senior management also told him before that the club supports him very much. But after the season ended, he was immediately notified of his dismissal.
