Coaching legend

Blackburn entered the UEFA Cup final and became the focus of the English media after the game.

It's not because the English media likes Blackburn and George. It's just that now there is only Blackburn left in the European competition.

When the places for the Champions League and the UEFA Cup quarterfinals were announced, the Premier League media was excited for a while. In the Champions League, there are Manchester United and Chelsea, and in the UEFA Cup, there are Arsenal, Leeds United, and Blackburn. Let the English media think that the spring of the Premier League teams has finally arrived.

Manchester United won the Champions League last season, which has excited the English media.

Since the "Heysel Tragedy", English teams have been very weak in the Champions League. But Manchester United took the lead in breaking this. And this season, Premier League teams are more courageous in European competitions.

But in the Champions League quarterfinals, Manchester United was eliminated by Real Madrid and Chelsea was eliminated by Barcelona.

Therefore, the English media focused on the UEFA Cup. Although it is not as good as the Champions League, it can at least be regarded as a European game.

It turns out that there are three Premier League teams in the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup. Blackburn eliminated Arsenal, but the English media expected Leeds United to eliminate Galatasaray. It is also a good idea to see the civil war in England in the League Cup final.

Unfortunately, Leeds United was eliminated by Galatasaray.

And the match between Leeds United and Galatasaray also shocked the world of football. Before the game, Leeds United fans Christopher Loftus and Kevin Spector were assassinated in Istanbul.

This is a football hooligan incident that shocked the world of football. In the past, as long as the world of football talked about football hooligans, it would definitely talk about English football hooligans.

Of course, the fact that English football hooligans are so famous is inseparable from Liverpool. Especially the two major tragedies, the "Heysel Disaster" and the "Hillsborough Disaster", these two tragedies made English football hooligans famous in the world of football.

In fact, these two tragedies cannot be completely said to be the responsibility of Liverpool fans. But the official reports at the time all blamed Liverpool fans, and many of them did not have a detailed understanding of the real process. Instead, they took it out of context and blamed Liverpool fans.

This is very unfair to Liverpool fans. But also because of these things, English fans were accused of being football hooligans.

In fact, in the current European football world, England is very standardized in managing fans. In terms of combating fan riots and racial discrimination, it is at the forefront of European football. It is much better than La Liga and Serie A.

But people are still used to thinking of English fans when talking about football hooligans.

This time is different. This incident made everyone see the football hooligans in Turkey. Istanbul was originally a famous devil's home in European football, and this kind of thing is even more terrifying.

This incident also greatly affected the status of Leeds United, and was eliminated by Galatasaray.

This season's Leeds United is really a double whammy. At the beginning of the season, Leeds United performed so well, but I didn't expect that the scandals of Woodgate and Lee Bowyer appeared in January. This scandal has greatly affected the status of Leeds United, and a four-game losing streak has dropped from the top to third place. Now it has been overtaken by Arsenal and lost the Champions League spot.

Last season, because they lost the UEFA Cup spot, they could only enter the UEFA Cup through the Intertoto Cup. They performed well in the UEFA Cup and finally made it to the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup. They also met Galatasaray, and thought it would not be a problem to defeat Galatasaray.

But they did not expect this to happen. They lost the chance to enter the UEFA Cup final.

As a result, Blackburn is the only team left in the Premier League. Of course, it will attract the attention of the English media.

At this time, the English media finally dug up George's remarks at the beginning of the season. At that time, George shouted "My goal is the UEFA Cup championship!" This slogan was ridiculed and criticized by many football celebrities and football commentators at the time.

However, at the end of a season, it was discovered that George's bold words were about to be realized. Blackburn only had one game left to win the championship.

…………

The UEFA Cup final will be held on May 17. There is still nearly a month left, and it will be after the end of the Premier League.

Therefore, the Premier League will continue.

There are only four rounds left, and Blackburn leads Arsenal by double digits. Even if they lose all the remaining games, Blackburn can still keep their current second place. Therefore, George is not in a hurry at all.

In the 35th round of the Premier League, Blackburn defeated Leicester City 2-1 at home.

In the 36th round of the Premier League, Blackburn was defeated by Liverpool 0-2 away.

But now George thinks that winning or losing is no problem. George is not deliberately defensive in the game with Liverpool, but Liverpool is also eager to get a good ranking. Facing Blackburn, which has little motivation, they played fiercely.

Let's look back at Manchester United, the top team of this season. They faced Wimbledon and Watford two away games and ended the game three to one in a row. George has been numb to Manchester United's performance. Manchester United has won nine consecutive games so far.

Of course, the English media has almost lost interest in the Premier League. Manchester United has already won the Premier League title. Blackburn is also firmly in second place in the Premier League. The Premier League's Champions League quota has also been announced.

Even the League Cup quota has been basically determined.

Therefore, there is only one thing that the English media cares about now. That is the relegation list for this season.

The current relegation situation is confusing. Watford has only 22 points and has already got a relegation quota. Sheffield Wednesday has 26 points and has no hope. Now the last relegation quota is what all media are paying attention to.

Bradford is ranked 17th in the Premier League, with 33 points now. And Burnley is ranked 18th in the Premier League, with 28 points.

These two teams are currently competing for the last relegation quota. From the score point of view, Burnley is five points behind Bradford, and now there are only two rounds of games left, which seems to be hopeless. But from the schedule point of view, Burnley is not without the possibility of a comeback.

In the 37th round of the Premier League, Bradford will face Liverpool, which has been strong recently, away from home. Of course, the best thing is that Bradford and Burnley will have a life-and-death battle in the last round. Therefore, as long as Burnley wins the last two games, it is very likely to get a relegation spot.

Therefore, all media attention is now focused on Burnley's 37th round.

Unfortunately, Burnley's opponent in the 37th round is George's Blackburn.

George doesn't know how to describe this schedule. Why would he let himself face Burnley at such an important moment.

…………

On May 6, George led Blackburn to Burnley.

Burnley is now at a critical juncture. Once relegated, Burnley will definitely lose everything. Many of the players in the Burnley team are in high demand. They will definitely not go to the English League One with the team.

Of course, Burnley after relegation will not have so much money to support these players.

In other words, once relegated, Burnley will definitely fall apart.

"Coach Levy, what do you think of Burnley's current relegation situation?"

Now it is Burnley's life-and-death battle, facing Blackburn led by George, Burnley's meritorious coach and of course the biggest traitor in Burnley's history. Such an interesting thing is very good news in the eyes of reporters.

Therefore, as soon as George got off the bus, countless reporters came to George.

"No comment."

George's position is very embarrassing now. George doesn't know what to say. So he can only use this language to deal with these reporters.

"Coach Levy, will you let Burnley go?"

Seeing George's cold look, a reporter asked George in a sharp voice.

George didn't know where this reporter came from, but his cold face just now turned livid at this time.

"I never know what it means to let someone go on the court? We will still go all out to play."

"Coach Levy, you mean to fight for victory with all your strength. Let Mr. Kilby regret it, right?" As soon as George finished speaking, a reporter asked a very sharp question.

George squinted at the reporter.

"How many years have you been a reporter?"

"Nine years." The reporter answered very proudly.

"Nine years?" George asked the reporter back, then shook his head. "I think your nine-year career as a reporter is really a failure. You have been living a dog's stomach for decades. Is that what I mean?"

"Humph!"

Facing this kind of schedule now, George didn't know who to blame. George, who was already very angry about the current situation, finally got angry after hearing the reporter's nonsense. So after saying that, George left the place.

Maybe he was afraid of irritating George, anyway, there were not so many fans coming to boo George today.

George pushed away the reporters and entered the Turf Moor Stadium with a livid face. The players behind George also saw that George was not very happy. So no one accepted the media interview and followed George silently.

Morgan looked at George's back, and all kinds of thoughts came out of his mind.

If George continued to be in Burnley, Burnley should have entered the League Cup final now. Maybe if George stayed at Burnley, Burnley might have already performed well in the Champions League this season.

George, George.

This meritorious coach who left a strong mark in the history of Burnley. Now he came to Burnley as the head coach of the century-old rival, and at the most important moment.

What would George think at this time?

Morgan shook his head. Anger suddenly appeared in his heart, Kilby, you bastard. If it weren't for you, Burnley would have been a strong team in the Premier League.
