Coaching legend

After the game, George promised that he would never leave Blackburn. But this kind of thing is not something that can be said.

Many media still questioned that this was just George's way of stabilizing the Blackburn locker room. At this time, Williams also stood up and said that the contract extension between the two parties would be signed in February. George will definitely not leave in the next few years.

After George and Williams repeatedly assured, the media did not hold on to this matter. But they are also waiting to see whether there will be a new contract extension in February.

Just as George was reading the newspapers in the past few days, someone knocked on George's office door.

"Come in."

"Boss, you are looking for me."

Deco wiped his sweat and came to George's office in confusion.

George rarely asked players to come to the office. Generally, if there was anything, it would be solved on the court. Therefore, Deco was very confused. Why did he have to go to the office?

"Anderson, I have good news for you."

Seeing Deco coming in, George took out a fax from the table and handed it to Deco.

After Deco took it and took a look, he jumped up from his chair. Then he looked at George with surprise, and then he looked at the fax carefully again. Finally, he said in a trembling tone: "Boss, is this true?"

"You still have this expression after reading it. Congratulations, Anderson."

Deco swallowed his saliva, and finally said: "Boss, I really made it to the national team."

George smiled and nodded.

Yes, George just received this fax. The Brazilian national team sent it to Blackburn Club, and the content was very simple. It was to tell George that Deco was selected for the new Brazilian national team. With the strength of Blackburn in the past few seasons, Deco, a successful Brazilian player in England, also entered the vision of the Brazilian coach.

There are very few Brazilian players who can succeed in English football.

But Deco, a Brazilian player, is currently one of the most successful midfielders in England.

And with the accumulation of experience, his strength is constantly improving. The 23-year-old Deco has become a representative of successful Brazilian players in the Premier League.

Lusenberg believes that Deco, a simple young midfielder, can gain a foothold in the Brazilian national team. So he sent this fax to Blackburn.

In fact, not every player can receive a call from the head coach of the national team. Ronaldo may have such treatment.

As for Deco, it is very good to send you a fax.

Or you should be very lucky to be able to choose you and let you enter the national team.

Although it is difficult for Deco to become a main player in the Brazilian national team with his current strength and fame. But Deco is very happy to be able to enter the Brazilian national team. So he cheered and jumped for joy.

George is now bringing more and more changes to the world football.

Deco, who should be the core player of the Portuguese national team in the future, is now selected for the Brazilian national team. FIFA stipulates that as long as you have played for the adult national team, you can no longer change your nationality.

In other words, Deco was selected for the Brazilian national team this time, and as long as he played, he would never have the opportunity to be selected for the Portuguese national team again.

George didn't know who Deco would replace in the future? Emerson? Gilbert Silva? Or maybe he couldn't become a main player in the national team in the future.

But George couldn't say anything to Deco. After all, being able to enter the Brazilian national team is the dream of all Brazilian players.

"Anderson, don't be anxious when you get to the national team. Even if you can't play as a main player for a while, don't be anxious." George didn't know whether Luxemburg would reuse Deco. But Deco was his player, so George comforted him.

"Boss, I know."

It was obvious that Deco, who was already very excited, didn't listen to George's words at all.

Seeing Deco's happy look when he went out, George shook his head. I don't know what the result will be for Deco's future if he goes to the Brazilian national team instead of the Portuguese national team.

…………

Deco happily joined the Brazilian national team.

But George was about to curse. These teams in South America are really fucking problematic. Can they abide by some regulations? There are no national team games in Europe now. But they put the game in February. Isn't this going to kill George?

In February, Blackburn still has to deal with a lot of games.

There are three Premier League games, the League Cup semi-finals, the League Cup final, and the second round of the Champions League group stage that is about to start.

This is such an important moment.

If it were later, George would have flatly refused such a call-up. But not now. First of all, Blackburn is not that strong yet. Also, it was the first time Deco was called up by the national team. He was in high spirits now, and George couldn't be a bad guy.

Deco left, but Blackburn's game had to continue.

On January 25, the second game of the League Cup semi-final began.

Blackburn challenged Birmingham away. In fact, this game was completely useless. The 5-0 score in the first game completely killed the suspense of the League Cup semi-final. Blackburn understood this, Birmingham understood it, and all the media understood it. George would not waste energy on such a game.

Therefore, George put on players who rarely played. He also transferred a few people from the youth team. Anyway, Birmingham did not attach importance to this game.

Neither team took this game seriously, but the substitutes still cherished this opportunity. Maybe they would make a splash in this game and George would be interested. Therefore, the game was very interesting.

In the end, the two sides played 2-2.

Blackburn defeated Birmingham with a total score of 7-2 in two games and entered the League Cup final.

The result of another venue was also announced. Liverpool, who lost 1-3 in the first game, went on a killing spree at home in this game. Facing Ipswich, they defeated Ipswich 5-0.

The total score was 6-3, eliminating Ipswich.

In this way, Blackburn's opponent in the League Cup final became Liverpool.

This League Cup final will be held on February 25.

Deco went there on January 22 and will not be able to come back until February 7. George was very angry, but there was nothing he could do.

On February 1, Blackburn ushered in the 25th round of the Premier League.

Blackburn's main players had enough rest time. There has been a ten-day break from January 20th to now. However, because Deco did not come back, George asked veteran McAllister to replace Deco in this game.

Facing Leicester City, Blackburn performed very well.

McAllister has started 17 times for Blackburn this season and has played as a substitute 8 times. It can be said that he is a very important player for Blackburn at present.

Although he is 36 years old, his physical strength has not decreased at all.

Facing Leicester City, the midfield is well organized. In the first half, it was Duff who received McAllister's pass and broke the deadlock on the field with a shot in the penalty area of ​​Leicester City.

The game was much easier after leading by one goal.

Facing the full-out Leicester City, midfielder Miku's direct pass allowed Klose to successfully counter-offside and score the second goal of the game.

In the end, Blackburn defeated Leicester City 2-0 with the goals of Duff and Klose.

Blackburn's fiery state did not disappear.

Ten days later, on February 10, Blackburn played against Bradford at home.

Twenty-five rounds of Premier League games have been played, and Bradford has only won two games and lost seventeen games. It is still at the bottom of the Premier League.

Blackburn was not polite. Facing Bradford, they scored three goals with their heads and feet. Another 3-0 victory over Bradford. Bradford players didn't feel anything when they lost the game.

They looked completely numb.

George believed that their players had been abandoned. In this state, it would be a joke for them to stay in the league this season.

A team can lose everything, but once it loses its spirit, then the team has no future. Bradford is in this state now. George looked at them and sighed and shook his head.

The victory of the two games finally made George breathe a sigh of relief.

Because in the 26th round of the Premier League, Manchester United, who was closely biting Blackburn, finally lost points. In this round, Manchester United tied Chelsea 1-1 away. In this way, after 26 rounds of games, Blackburn's lead over Manchester United reached 8 points.

Arsenal, which was in a slump some time ago, performed well. The victory of two consecutive games has consolidated their third place in the Premier League.

After the 26th round of the Premier League on February 10, Blackburn will not have any Premier League tasks for nearly half a month. Because Blackburn will represent the Premier League in the Champions League with Manchester United and Arsenal.

The Champions League, which has been interrupted for three months, is about to start again.

There are still four games left in the second round of the Champions League group stage.

Blackburn ranked second with one draw and one loss in the group stage.

The next two games are home and away against Galatasaray, the old enemy of last season.

In the League Cup final last season, George led Blackburn to defeat Galatasaray. Now the two teams are arranged in the same group stage. And they are the two most likely teams to appear besides Bayern.

Therefore, it can be said that these two games are the most critical for Blackburn to break through in this group.

Once they win these two games, Blackburn will basically secure a place in the group stage. Of course, if they fail, Blackburn will have no choice but to accept the fate of being eliminated.

After the match with Bradford, just one day later, George led Blackburn to Istanbul, which is known as the devil's home ground.

There will be another update in the evening.
