Coaching legend

As the UEFA Cup final approaches, more and more fans have begun to flock to Copenhagen.

According to the current statistics of ticket sales, Blackburn has sold more than 12,000 tickets. Galatasaray also has 10,000 fans. Although the ticket sales have not yet ended, both sides have few tickets left.

Because in addition to these two clubs, a considerable number of tickets are reserved for neutral fans. Because the capacity of the UEFA Cup final stadium is originally small, there are not many tickets left for neutral fans.

With the influx of English and Turkish fans, the Copenhagen police are getting more and more nervous.

And there was news before the game that Leeds United fans would retaliate against the Turks in Copenhagen because they were eliminated by the Turkish Galatasaray team in the UEFA Cup semi-finals and two fans were killed in Istanbul.

Although it is not known whether this matter is true or false, it has made many Copenhagen police alert.

Copenhagen police spokesman Fleming Manci said: "We will not leave any chance for the British to cause trouble. We have strengthened entry checks on British football hooligans, and there are no reports of these hooligans appearing in the city. We have also strengthened street patrols."

Preben Fischer, head of the Copenhagen Railway Police, also said: "We have been on full alert since the morning of the 15th. There is no news of any fans causing trouble. Most fans will not arrive until the morning of the 17th. If they dare to cause trouble, our personnel will arrive at the scene of the incident in a few minutes. In general, we are everywhere."

Although the Copenhagen police are nervous, they are still confident about the security work this time.

But after Copenhagen police spokesman Fleming Manci spoke, George, as the coach of Blackburn, immediately criticized the Copenhagen police.

"I want to ask Mr. Manci, why do you only say that it is British football hooligans, but not the Turkish side. Everything in the world has a cause and an effect. If it weren't for the Leeds United fans being killed in Istanbul, how could the current atmosphere be so tense? Do you think that only British fans will cause trouble, and Turkish fans are all gentlemen?"

"I think Mr. Manci has serious regional discrimination, discriminating against fans from England. I think with such a discriminatory point of view, as long as there is a slight conflict, in the eyes of the Copenhagen police, it must be the English fans who make trouble first. I think this is so unfair to English fans."

In fact, there are many English football hooligans, and George, as an English coach, definitely knows more about this than others. Just like West Ham United and Millwall in London, that is a gathering place for football hooligans. If at other times, no matter who attacks English football hooligans, what does it have to do with George?

However, the two opponents in this League Cup final are Blackburn and Galatasaray.

This time, most of the British fans who came to Copenhagen are Blackburn fans. George can't let the Copenhagen police just accuse Blackburn fans without any reason. So they chose to fight back against the Copenhagen police.

In fact, the Copenhagen police had absolutely no intention of deliberately targeting British football hooligans. It was just because of rumors before the game that Leeds United fans also flocked to Copenhagen. Their purpose was to avenge the dead fans, which made the Copenhagen police extremely worried.

But when George said this, the nature changed.

First, the Blackburn fan group said in front of the media that they were just a group of fanatical fans and definitely not football hooligans who made trouble.

Then some people in the British football world also felt that the remarks made by the Copenhagen police spokesman were inappropriate. They all thought that the Copenhagen police looked at the fans of both sides with tinted glasses.

In the end, even the British Minister of Sports came out. He believed that as the police of the host city of this League Cup, their preconceived views were very wrong. Their remarks seriously hurt the feelings of British fans.

Under pressure from all sides, the Copenhagen police were very helpless and could only come out to explain. They definitely did not mean that, and they would not favor the fans of either side. As long as there are fans making trouble, they will treat them equally, whether they are British fans or Turkish fans.

"George can stir up a storm no matter where he is."

"Look at him just arriving in Copenhagen, and he forced the Copenhagen police to apologize. If it weren't for George, who would catch them and chase them down?"

After the Copenhagen police apologized and explained, the English media felt very funny.

In fact, George did not expect the Copenhagen police to apologize. He just thought that the Copenhagen police's remarks were inappropriate.

George is just a coach, and his biggest idea now is how to deal with Galatasaray.

Galatasaray is a very offensive team. And although there are many Turkish talents, the playing style is not like the fierce playing style of the Turkish national team. Instead, it is somewhat similar to Blackburn, a midfield control style.

This is related to Galatasaray having a world superstar. He is the Romanian midfield superstar Gheorghe Hagi.

Hagi is an excellent commander and organizer on the field. He has an extraordinary sense of time and space, excellent ball control skills, and good timing of passing. He is the soul of the team. Hagi is good at using his left foot and is known as the "golden left foot". He controls the ball, passes, and shoots with his left foot. In particular, his left-footed long-range shots are as fast and accurate as missiles, which is amazing.

Hagi is old and is now over 35 years old.

In football, as long as a player is over 32 or 33 years old, then the player is basically at the age of retirement.

At the age of 35, it is very rare to still play as a main player in the club. But Hagi is not only a main player at the age of 35, but also the core of Galatasaray's midfield.

Although Hagi is already very old. But his strength in the midfield must not be ignored.

Plus Emre in the middle. Emre is a talented player. Although he is young, his strength should not be underestimated. This combination of one old and one young is definitely the best in controlling the ball.

They can calmly play a ball-controlling style, which is related to the fact that they have Hagi and Emre in the midfield. Of course, it is also related to the center forward Hakan Suker who is at the forefront.

Hakan Suker has a very strong ability to control the air. If he has a strong ability to control the air alone, he will not be praised as the best striker outside the top five leagues. Hakan Suker's receiving, passing and shooting in the frontcourt are all first-class. It is precisely because of strikers like Hakan Suker that Galatasaray's midfield control style is very effective.

George likes to play against this kind of team.

George dislikes playing against unreasonable teams the most, especially teams in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League.

"George, George, we're here."

Evan poked George. He woke up George who was in deep thought.

George looked out the car window and found that he had arrived outside the Copenhagen Park Stadium. There were already many fans gathered outside, waiting for the team to arrive. Seeing their clothes, George knew they were Blackburn fans.

"George! George!"

When the door of the bus opened, all the Blackburn fans suddenly cheered.

These fans were not all without tickets. In fact, most of them had tickets. Fans without tickets rarely come to Copenhagen. They do not enter the stadium, but are outside to welcome the Blackburn team.

So when they saw the Blackburn bus coming, cheers came one after another.

This surprised the Copenhagen police on duty. They are well-known for British football hooligans, so they are very nervous to maintain order on the scene.

But the reporter in front didn't care about that and came up directly. All the microphones and cameras were aimed at George.

"Coach Levy, what do you think about the game?"

The reporter who finally stood in the most important position asked a conventional question. This made the reporters behind who had not yet grabbed a position secretly despise the reporter. Especially the reporters from England, they despised him the most, and he looked like a rookie at first glance.

Who is George? A famous big mouth. When interviewing George, you should ask some explosive questions. What kind of question is this?

"For me, runner-up is a failure, and I will not be a loser."

George answered the reporter with a smile. Then suddenly his voice became louder. "I only want the championship, and I will not want anything else except the championship. The championship, only the championship!"

"Champion! Champion! We want the championship!" Seeing George's sudden words, the Blackburn fans on the periphery also echoed George loudly.

George raised his hands and asked everyone to calm down.

Sure enough, after George raised his hands, the Blackburn fans who were just excited all quieted down. Waiting for George's next words. George looked at them, and he was still quite proud in his heart. Look at my influence.

"I promise you, when we go back, we will go home with the League Cup championship."

"Woo woo woo--"

"George! George!"

"Champion! Champion!"

The Blackburn fans on the periphery were already boiling. Constantly rushing to the front, the police who maintained order were very dissatisfied.

"Hello everyone, I am Mark Bevs, a reporter from the BBC. I am reporting live at the entrance of Copenhagen Park Stadium. Just now, Coach Levy assured all the media and Blackburn fans that the League Cup will definitely be Blackburn's. The exciting assurance has made all Blackburn fans crazy."

"Coach Levy said at the beginning of the season that the goal of this season is the League Cup. Now that Blackburn has entered the League Cup final, we have reason to believe that Coach Levy will definitely lead Blackburn to win the League Cup."

BBC reporter Mark Bevs stood among the excited Blackburn fans and introduced the situation on the scene.

George slowly entered the Copenhagen Park Stadium amid the cheers of all the fans.
