Chapter 258 League Cup Final (Part 2)

When Trim entered the locker room, he slammed the locker room door hard.

With a "bang", all the Galatasaray players sat up straight. Because they all saw Trim's livid face.

Trim looked at the players below and was furious. Their performance in the first half was too bad, and there was simply no chance.

"Your performance is simply shit. I don't know if you are professional players."

"We are now only one step away from the UEFA Cup championship, but look at your performance. Don't you have a little shame? Don't you have a little desire? Looking at the UEFA Cup championship, you don't have a little idea."

"Emre, I saw that you performed well in the first half." Trim suddenly called out Emre.

"Why, because you are about to transfer to Blackburn, you feel embarrassed." Trim squinted at the young genius he had trained. "Did you see the guy who scored the goal just now? He is Blackburn's midfielder Miku, who plays in the same position as you."

"I'm telling you now, with your shitty performance, you'll be a substitute for a substitute in Blackburn. With your performance, you still want to be Miku's successor in Blackburn."

"If you want to gain a foothold in Blackburn, show me some skills. Let the young man over there see your strength."

Trim couldn't suppress his anger and scolded Emre. "Go over now and forget everything. Show your strength and let Blackburn see your strength."

Facing the angry Trim, Emre could only nod.

But he was also awakened in his heart. If he couldn't show a good performance, he would definitely be looked down upon by the Blackburn players. And it would also leave a bad impression in the mind of the Blackburn coach.

At this time, Emre was only 19 years old, and he was in his prime. In the eyes of a genius like Emre who grew up being praised, there was no player he could look up to. Even Blackburn's midfielder Miku was just like that in Emre's eyes.

He was already 27 years old, and he hadn't made a name for himself yet.

Emre had always thought that as long as he went to Blackburn, it wouldn't take long for him to replace Miku's starting position.

But after hearing what Trim said, he realized that his performance in this game was too bad. He would definitely give a bad impression to the Blackburn coach.

After Trim finished scolding, he began to arrange the tactics for the second half.

While the two teams were busy arranging the tactics for the second half, the fans on both sides of the field were not to be outdone.

They laughed at each other. Galatasaray fans called Blackburn a nouveau riche and a plaything of Jack Walker. Blackburn fans responded by asking them "Do you need to pay for your wages?"

…………

After the start of the second half, Galatasaray stepped up its offensive pace. Emre suddenly became much more active. His running in the midfield was much more active than in the first half.

George looked at Galatasaray's play and understood that Terim wanted to find a way in the middle. Like Capello, Terim also wanted to attack Makelele. George really didn't understand why Capello and Terim thought Makelele was easy to bully.

In their eyes, Makelele was Blackburn's biggest loophole?

George smiled. Since you want to play in the middle, I will give you the middle. George made a simple tactical arrangement.

Soon Miku and Deco both retreated and gradually handed over the control of the midfield to the opponent. Of course, it was not a complete loss of the midfield, but a strategic retreat.

"Hagi, pass the ball... Suk got the ball. Suk didn't dribble the ball, but knocked it back... Emre... Makelele!"

This is a very typical match of Galatasaray. Hagi's pass, and then the tall Hakan Suk's knock back, or to Hagi, or to Emre. They all have the ability to shoot from a distance when they get in.

Suk's back pass is still very good. Both the strength and angle of the pass were excellent.

The ball was handed to Emre very comfortably. But just when Emre was about to kick, Makelele appeared beside Emre like a ghost. He easily hooked the ball away from Emre's feet.

"Makelele, what a good defensive midfielder. I suddenly remembered what George said. It's called "a good fighter has no great achievements". It may be about a defensive midfielder like Makelele. Usually, you can't see anything, but you can always ensure the safety of the back line. There will be no problems with your back line."

"A good fighter has no great achievements? What does it mean?" Alan Hansen asked Mortensen with a smile.

"I'm not sure, it seems to be from an ancient Chinese military book."

"Is it the "Sun Tzu's Art of War". George has started to study military tactics as a coach, haha."

After Makelele grabbed the ball, he took a step, passed Emre and passed it to Deco in front. Deco passed it to Pires on the left.

Pires usually uses his skills to dribble past opponents in the Premier League. This is mainly because Blackburn often compresses the opponent's formation. So there is not much space left for Pires to display his speed, but this does not mean that Pires is slow.

Pires is definitely not slow.

Compared to Bellamy, Duff, and later Walcott and Lennon, Pires' speed is indeed not fast. That's because those people's speed is abnormal. Compared with some other wingers, Pires' speed is definitely first-class.

Therefore, after Pires got the ball, Galatasaray's right back was left there as soon as he accelerated.

Pires did not rush directly into the penalty area, but continued to run along the sideline. Seeing that the right back was out of position, Galatasaray's central defender hurried over to fill the position.

"Pires... He continued to rush forward and cross the ball..."

Pires did not shake off the central defender who came to fill the position, but directly made a cross.

Pires is good at both breakthroughs and crosses, and his crosses have excellent landing points.

"Klose and Popescu are competing... Klose, Klose presses Popescu to head the ball!"

In fact, Klose and Popescu are about the same height. But Popescu is old, and his jumping ability is far less than when he was young. And Klose's jumping ability is absolutely amazing. So when he was fighting for the header, Klose jumped high and completely overwhelmed Popescu.

Popescu realized it as soon as he jumped up. This ball can't be beaten by Klose. So Popescu held Klose tightly and used a very concealed move to make Klose lose strength.

But at this time, Klose couldn't feel Popescu's interference at all, and he only had the ball in his eyes.

Klose had only one thought in his mind, this ball must go in! This ball must go in!

So after jumping hard, Klose faced the ball and headed hard.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Mortensen shouted loudly in the commentary room. "This ball goes in, Klose, it's Klose! Taffarel didn't react at all. Popescu, facing the young Klose, had no ability to fight at all."

"Klose, this is Klose's 25th goal this season. 2-0, Blackburn is already 2-0 ahead of Galatasaray."

"I didn't expect it. The much-anticipated UEFA Cup final, people hope to see a wonderful match between two evenly matched teams. But I didn't expect the game to be so calm. Blackburn completely dominated the advantage, and Galatasaray couldn't create the slightest threat in front of Blackburn."

"2-0, it seems that Blackburn has completely taken the UEFA Cup final into its arms."

"There are still 25 or 26 minutes left before the end of the game. I don't believe Galatasaray has a chance to equalize the score now."

Motson explained excitedly. Mortensen has always been very friendly to George and Blackburn.

Of course, even if Mortensen is not the commentator, as long as it is an English commentator, he will definitely favor the English team. Even if this team is not your favorite team.

After Klose headed up, he kept looking at the ball. When he saw the ball enter the goal, he jumped up excitedly. He used his most iconic front flip, and two front flips in a row. Then he opened his arms and ran to the bench.

When he saw George, he picked up George directly and turned around twice.

"Boss, we won the championship, right?" Klose said excitedly.

"Yes, this championship must be ours. No one can take it away."

"George and Klose really have a deep relationship between master and apprentice." Seeing Klose pick up George and turn around twice, Mortensen laughed.

Alan Hansen nodded beside him.

"Of course. George gave Klose unimaginable trust, and Klose returned George's trust. In such an important final, he scored a goal to lock the victory."

When Klose picked up George, everyone in the Blackburn bench came over and patted Klose on the shoulder.

"George, we are really going to win the UEFA Cup!" Evan and Carl were also very excited.

Now they are two goals ahead of Galatasaray, and Klose's goal is the goal that locks the victory.

"Champion, champion! We are the champions!" Blackburn fans are already cheering. They believe that the UEFA Cup championship must belong to their team.

Trim stomped his feet fiercely. Trim was very angry in his heart. This game was completely asymmetric.

People on his side are already floating. Salary issues, poaching issues, reporters and scouts take turns to harass, disrupting the team's preparation plan. Trim is not convinced. Give yourself a fair chance to fight, and your team will never be so cowardly.

What happened during this period of time has prevented Galatasaray from even 70% or 80% of its strength.

Trim is very angry. George, this damn fox! Why didn't he fight with me in an upright manner, but used that kind of dirty tricks.
