Coaching legend
Chapter 322: Extreme Joy Leads to Sorrow
Blackburn fans are very happy.
Blackburn won the championship again. This is the third season since George took over Blackburn. It is also the third championship George has won at Blackburn, all of which are cup championships. UEFA Cup, UEFA Super Cup, and now this is the English League Cup.
These are the first championships Blackburn has won in history.
Compared with these fans, George and Blackburn players are much calmer. The League Cup championship is too low. Although it is also a championship, it cannot make the players excited.
George is even more so.
It's just the League Cup championship. George had already won one when he was in Burnley, the English League One.
If it wasn't for a coincidence, George would never waste so much energy on the League Cup.
But it's still a championship anyway.
In short, as long as it's a championship, it's a happy thing, isn't it?
The Liverpool players next to them are obviously disappointed. Unlike Blackburn players who won the League Cup last season, Liverpool players now basically have not tasted the taste of a championship. Even the League Cup is a very important championship in the eyes of Liverpool players.
Liverpool, the king of England, is now so eager for a League Cup championship. Who can believe it?
But this is the fact. Liverpool, who has not tasted the championship for many years, is envious even when facing the League Cup championship.
Houllier was very disappointed watching the celebration of Blackburn players.
Houllier was very eager for this championship. He has been in Liverpool for three years, but he has not won a championship. For a giant like Liverpool, winning a championship should be the norm. And now it is absolutely abnormal that there is no championship for several years.
Houllier is also under great pressure, not ordinary.
This time entering the League Cup final is very important for Houllier. Although the League Cup championship is a championship with very low gold content, it can also solve the urgent problem.
Although the current Liverpool chairman is still very supportive of Houllier, Houllier knows that Liverpool's top management cannot continue to support him indefinitely. Unless he can give a satisfactory result, a giant like Liverpool will not give him more time.
Don't look at Liverpool's decline. But there are a lot of coaches who want to coach Liverpool. And even world-class coaches are willing to coach Liverpool. This is the charm of the giants.
So Houllier attaches great importance to this championship. But now he has lost this championship. Houllier doesn't know which championship opportunity will be next. Can he hold on until then?
"This is George's third championship at Blackburn!" Mortensen watched George and the players celebrating to the fans there. Summarize there.
"Just before the final, Blackburn Club announced the renewal of its contract with George. George will renew his contract with Blackburn for three years. I don't know if this news is good news for other Premier League teams. Anyway, I believe that all the coaches of Premier League clubs must hope that George will leave the English football world as soon as possible."
"As for the annual salary, it is heard that it exceeds 2.5 million pounds. However, based on the performance of George in leading Blackburn, even if George is paid 5 million pounds a year, it is not much."
"Just say that Deco and Cudicini, who were introduced by George for hundreds of thousands of pounds, their current value has increased by dozens of times. Deco has just been selected for the Brazilian national team, and his current value must be more than Tens of millions of pounds. Not to mention the changes George has brought to Blackburn's performance in the past three seasons. "
"Blackburn's outstanding performance in the Champions League this season has brought countless profits to Blackburn. Such a head coach should stay."
"First of all, congratulations to Blackburn for winning the League Cup this season. But even more congratulations, Blackburn can keep a champion coach like George. I believe that with George, Blackburn will never lack championships. Especially now Blackburn, they are a mature and powerful team. Their future is even more worth looking forward to. "
Not only Motson thinks so, many Blackburn fans think so too.
As long as George is left, Blackburn will definitely become a strong team in the Premier League.
They not only cheer for the League Cup championship, but also cheer for George to stay in Blackburn.
…………
Winning the League Cup championship should be a celebration ceremony.
Although the League Cup championship has low gold content, it is the first League Cup championship in Blackburn's 100-year history. But Blackburn was unable to celebrate, and only returned to Blackburn that night after the celebration at the Cardiff Millennium Stadium.
It's not that Blackburn didn't want to celebrate, but because of the annoying schedule, they had to return to Blackburn.
The League Cup final was played on the evening of February 25th. And on February 27th, there was a Premier League game waiting for Blackburn. In fact, the game was originally scheduled for the 24th, but it was postponed because of the League Cup final.
Therefore, Blackburn had no rest time at all.
When they returned to Blackburn at night, it was already very late. Because the team was a little tired, George's training the next day was also put in the afternoon. Let the players have a good rest in the morning.
The League Cup championship is the first championship in English football this season.
There is a lot of media attention.
After the final, the Blackburn Evening News praised the victory. Then it said that George is a "championship-guaranteed" coach.
As long as George is there, there will be no shortage of championships.
Even to this day, George has kept a record. That is, as long as George leads the team into the final, they will win the championship without exception. Including two League Cup championships, FA Cup championships, UEFA Cup championships, and European Super Cup championships.
The five championships George won were all cup championships.
However, Blackburn, who was very excited about the League Cup championship just now, was overjoyed in the Premier League.
In the 27th round of the Premier League, Blackburn challenged Middlesbrough away.
Middlesbrough's performance is average. Unlike the previous two years, Middlesbrough this season is still in the relegation zone. However, at the end of the season, it would be a big mistake to underestimate this relegation team.
At the end of the season, this relegation team will fight you to the death in order to stay in the league.
This is the case with Middlesbrough. Blackburn players were stunned by Middlesbrough before they could get rid of the joy of winning the League Cup. Middlesbrough was completely crazy. Facing the powerful Blackburn, they attacked without hesitation.
Blackburn didn't expect it, and George didn't expect it either.
Middlesbrough scored two goals in the first half. In the second half, although George wanted to counterattack, Middlesbrough was like crazy. Blackburn, who had just finished the League Cup final, finally failed to break Middlesbrough's goal. Instead, Middlesbrough broke Blackburn's goal again with a counterattack.
Away from home, Blackburn eventually lost 0-3. Lost to a relegation team.
There is a highlight in this round of the Premier League. That is Manchester United vs. Arsenal, and Manchester United, who is at Old Trafford, is killing.
No one expected that this game would be so one-sided. York, who has been out of favor for a long time, had a hat trick within 22 minutes of playing in this game. Including the goals scored by Keane, Solskjaer and Shelingham, Arsenal scored six goals at home.
Only Henry scored a goal to save face for Arsenal.
In the end, Arsenal lost 1-6 away.
This is also the first time that Wenger has suffered such a disastrous defeat since he took over the Premier League. And Ferguson was very proud. Because facing this French guy who challenged his Premier League hegemony, Ferguson finally breathed a sigh of relief.
If Wenger had not come to the Premier League, then Manchester United would have won all the Premier League titles in recent years.
Arsenal, which has lost the qualification for the Premier League championship this season, suffered a great humiliation.
And Ferguson took advantage of Blackburn's defeat to narrow the points gap between the two teams to five points. Ferguson would never let Blackburn win the league championship easily.
"George is indeed an excellent coach. This can be seen from the five championships he has won. It's a pity that George is too young and lacks experience in winning the top league. But I believe George will become a world-class coach in the future."
Ferguson saw that the score gap was getting smaller and smaller, and started psychological warfare.
But George is not a good guy like Keegan. He immediately hit back: "Everyone has a first time. Coach Ferguson is too old. I'm really afraid that Coach Ferguson's body can't withstand such a high-intensity game now. For physical considerations, I think it's a good idea for Coach Ferguson to retire early."
Although Ferguson and George had a fierce verbal battle. But the final result depends on the results of the game.
In the 28th round of the Premier League, Blackburn kicked off first. Blackburn faced Manchester City away, and Manchester City's performance this season was also very poor. It is still in the relegation zone. I don't know if George is inexperienced as Ferguson said. At such an important sprint moment, Blackburn tied Manchester City 1-1 away.
George never thought that the Premier League championship would be so difficult to win. The pressure in his heart would be so great. Cup matches and league matches are completely different.
But when Manchester United finished the game, George almost laughed out loud. Ferguson was so arrogant, especially after the 6-1 massacre of Arsenal, the morale of the entire Manchester United club was high. And after Blackburn tied the day before, the Manchester media were gloating.
They thought Manchester United would be able to narrow the points gap soon. If it was narrowed to two points, it would be a game gap. They believed that young George would definitely not be able to withstand the pressure in the end.
But they never thought that Manchester United would be tied by Leeds United 1-1 in the away game.
The gap with Blackburn is still five points.
When George heard the news from Evan, he laughed on the training ground. And if I didn't care about my face, I really wanted to call Ferguson and ask him, why did you tie?
Hahaha! Ferguson, Ferguson, you didn't seize this opportunity, and I will definitely win the Premier League championship this season.
