Coaching legend
Chapter 199 The dust has settled (Part 1)
Pires, who came on in the second half, suddenly exerted his strength and cut inside facing Neville. Johnson was afraid that Pires would shoot, so he rushed forward to steal the ball, but Pires only made a fake shot. But at the same time, he suddenly led the ball with his left foot and passed between Neville and Johnson.
This beautiful breakthrough completely broke through Manchester United's defense.
This breakthrough was related to Johnson's failure to stand in position and whether he blocked Pires. Of course, with Johnson's strength, he should not be broken through so easily. The biggest reason is that Johnson lacks physical strength and his footsteps are too heavy, and he can't keep up with Pires' pace.
After Pires passed through, Johnson immediately reacted. Prepare to defend Pires and not let him have space to shoot.
But Pires made another fake shot, and then gently pushed to the middle.
"Miku... Keane is close to Miku... Miku shovel shot!"
Keane squeezed Miku on the side, and fortunately Miku's body was great. Otherwise, other players would have been squeezed out by Keane. But even so, Miku couldn't get the ball smoothly. So Miku couldn't shoot normally, so he fell to the side and shoveled hard.
Pires' pass was sudden, and Miku's shovel shot was also sudden. And Miku's shovel shot flew out irregularly.
"Miku!"
"Beautiful! Blackburn has now surpassed the score. 2-1, now there are less than ten minutes left before the end of the game, even with overtime. This ball completely kicked Manchester United's championship away."
Indeed, this ball kicked Manchester United's championship away. Ferguson on the sidelines blushed and cursed, stomped his feet hard, and then returned to his bench.
The fast pace of the second half, after nearly 40 minutes, Manchester United's players were completely unable to run. It has always been relying on the belief of not admitting defeat that has allowed them to survive until now. Fortunately, it is Manchester United. If it were other teams, they would have collapsed long ago.
Blackburn is full of young players, and they have played fewer games than Manchester United. With this goal, everyone is in high spirits and full of energy. In addition, Blackburn's usual style of play is to pass the ball non-stop, so it is even more difficult for Manchester United to make a comeback.
After seeing this goal, George knelt on the sidelines and kept shouting.
2-1, Blackburn's efforts for a season are finally paying off. Once they can participate in the League Cup, Blackburn can wipe out the bad luck of the past three seasons. Regain the confidence of a strong team.
Ferguson was unwilling to admit defeat. Although there were less than ten minutes left in the game, admitting defeat was not Manchester United's style. He quickly replaced Solskjaer, the genius substitute. Seeing Solskjaer on the court, George knew that Manchester United was going to play the simplest long pass.
George immediately asked Pires on the left to retreat and stick close to Beckham. Then he also asked Hargreaves to move right to assist in defending Giggs. Of course, Deco had to retreat and control Blackburn's game rhythm from behind, and also prevent Scholes from plugging in from behind.
Even Klose was put in front by George to harass Keane.
Only Duff was put in the front because he was the fastest. He could hold back Manchester United's defense.
Manchester United was indeed as George thought, because they were not physically strong enough to play that kind of midfield cooperation. They did not have the physical strength to carry out the kind of off-ball running that Manchester United was proud of, so they could only make long passes. They put all their hopes on the striker in front.
However, Blackburn was united at this time, so how could they be broken by two or three kicks. In addition, once Blackburn had the ball, they would control the ball in the midfield to wear down Manchester United's morale. The more anxious Manchester United was, the more Blackburn could not be chaotic.
But George still couldn't rest assured, Manchester United was a team that could turn the tables at the last second. Therefore, George kept shouting loudly on the court to make them pay more attention.
Except for some important moments in the game, George would not shout loudly on the sidelines at other times. Instead, he stood quietly on the sidelines and watched the game. But now is the most important game of the whole season, and George can't sit still.
Not only George, but many people on the bench can't sit still.
The Blackburn fans at Ewood Park held their breath, waiting for the final moment.
"Toot, toot, toot--"
The referee's final whistle was the most enjoyable whistle that George and Blackburn fans had ever heard. As the referee blew the whistle, all the players on the field hugged each other to celebrate. The Manchester United players next to them sat dejectedly on the field.
They knew that this year's Premier League championship was completely gone.
The Blackburn players ignored the frustrated Manchester United players next to them. Most of them had no experience in the European League, and being able to participate in the League Cup in the first season of the Premier League was absolutely exciting for them.
"League Cup! League Cup!"
For teams like Manchester United and Arsenal, playing the League Cup would be a failure. With the reform of the Champions League, the influence of the Champions League is getting bigger and bigger, while the influence of the League Cup is getting smaller and smaller. Slowly, Manchester United and Arsenal, the current Premier League giants, pay more attention to the Champions League.
But it's different for Blackburn. This is the League Cup. Blackburn, who barely managed to avoid relegation last season, could have imagined that after this season, Blackburn would be able to play in the League Cup.
The entire Ewood Park hadn't imagined being able to play in Europe for a long time.
"Two to one, we defeated the powerful Manchester United. We are going to the League Cup, and this is just the beginning. Because we have George Levy!" The commentator was also excited and began to speak excitedly.
Hearing the commentator's excited explanation, the fans began to react.
"George Levy!"
"George Levy!"
Everyone suddenly understood that Blackburn's great development this season was entirely due to the young George Levy in front of them.
George raised his hands and accepted their cheers. He was also very excited. Last season, he was still in the English League One, and this season he became the head coach of the Premier League. Next season, he will be able to lead Blackburn to the League Cup.
Even if the influence of the League Cup is weakened, it is still a European competition.
"Young coach Levy, who just turned 30, will lead Blackburn to the League Cup soon. George is expected to become the youngest head coach in the League Cup. The changes George has brought to Blackburn this season are still very obvious. The most obvious is of course Blackburn's results."
"But the bigger change George has brought to Blackburn is a different style of play from the English football world. And the confidence he has brought to Blackburn players." Martin Taylor was like the end of this season and he was beginning to summarize a season.
"Yes, after losing to Arsenal 0-8, everyone was counting the days until George was fired. But George stubbornly walked out of the shadow of failure and was able to rank fourth in the Premier League at the end of the season. If it weren't for the slump at the beginning of the season, there would be one more Blackburn competing for the Premier League championship now."
When the score was 0-8, Andy Gray even regretted that another young coach had fallen. At that time, no one was optimistic about George. Everyone thought that the young local coach George would suffer the biggest setback in his coaching career.
But no one expected that Blackburn's top management would support George. It also allowed George to survive the most difficult days.
"Don't feel bad about this, it will be much better next season."
It is true that it will be much better next season. Not only are there two giants, Manchester United and Arsenal, but there is also Chelsea, which has been performing steadily over the years, of course, England's top giant Liverpool, and Blackburn's Leeds United, which has started to rise this season.
"I'm sorry, Coach Ferguson." After George celebrated, he thought Ferguson had left. But when he turned around, he found that Ferguson was still standing there, so he went over to shake his hand.
Ferguson smiled, but there was something unpredictable in his smile.
"George, Wenger should give you a big award."
George understood what Ferguson meant. At the beginning of the season, George lost to Arsenal 0-8, which not only gave Arsenal enough goals, but also gave Arsenal, which was already in excellent form at the time, a chance to leap forward. Since winning Blackburn, Arsenal has swept through all the giants like a broken bamboo.
And at the most important moment, Blackburn defeated Manchester United at home, indirectly helping Arsenal win the championship.
George also smiled. George certainly understood. This season should be a great treble season in Manchester United's history, but it was precisely because of George's unstable factor that the league championship this season went to Wenger.
George shook his head, Wenger, Wenger. I robbed you of an FA Cup, and players such as Ljungberg and Pires before. This year, I give you a more important league championship, which is quite nice. Of course, George can't guarantee that he won't dig more players from Arsenal in the future.
"George. We will have a chance to meet next season." After saying that, he left.
George actually didn't know why Ferguson stayed. Was it just to say a few words? Anyway, it was inexplicable.
But George was not interested in those. After George turned around, a smile immediately appeared on his face. This moment should be celebrated. Why bother so much. This season, Manchester United's league championship was kicked to Arsenal. In a few years, Manchester United and Arsenal will hand over all your championships.
As soon as George turned around, he found Hendry walking over with a smile. In the second half of the season, Hendry sat on the bench more often.
"Colin, don't leave next season. How about staying and helping me?" Hendry is already 33 years old, and will soon be 34 years old. It is already a stretch to play in the Premier League, but George is unwilling to give up Hendry.
Keep Hendry and let him help George manage the locker room. With meritorious players like Hendry, the influence in the locker room cannot be ignored.
"Okay, George. But you have to lead Blackburn to achieve good results." Hendry said loudly in George's ear.
Hendry was also excited. As the main defender when the Premier League won the championship that year, his feelings for Blackburn are incomparable.
"Colin, believe me."
The leader came to inspect, and we are exhausted. I just took the time to upload a chapter.
The next chapter may be updated later.
I'm really sorry.
