Coaching legend

Everyone was excited after entering the Champions League final.

Blackburn fans were the happiest group of people. George brought too many surprises to Blackburn fans.

Since George took over Blackburn, he has continuously brought joy to Blackburn fans. Except for the first season, Blackburn only won the fourth place in the league. In the next three seasons, Blackburn won a heavyweight championship in each season.

In the second season, Blackburn won the first League Cup in the club's history.

In the third season, Blackburn not only regained the Premier League championship. It also won the first League Cup in the club's history.

This season is more powerful.

Not only did they win the Premier League championship again, but they also reached the Champions League final.

Such a good result is the joy that the current generation of Blackburn fans have never had. Because Blackburn's glory in those days was won a hundred years ago. There are not many fans of that generation alive now.

In the 94-95 season, Blackburn fans thought they were going to see the best time for Blackburn. Unfortunately, they did not expect that Blackburn would fall too quickly.

But it was different after George took over.

Blackburn Rovers did not fall into decline just because they won the Premier League. Instead, they have become more powerful and have now entered the Champions League final.

These days, all Blackburn Rovers fans are talking about the Champions League. If you go to Blackburn Rovers or any bar, you can see a group of Blackburn Rovers fans drinking and chatting there.

And the content is all about the Champions League final.

In addition to Blackburn Rovers fans, Blackburn Rovers club executives, Paul Walker and Williams are all very happy.

Paul is a real Blackburn Rovers fan. He is a completely fanatical Blackburn Rovers fan, just like his father. Therefore, the joy of seeing Blackburn Rovers enter the Champions League final is not because he is the chairman. Entering the Champions League final can make money for the club.

Although there is a little bit of this reason. But it is more from the perspective of a fan. Blackburn Rovers has good results, so he is happy.

Williams is not a very fanatical fan. He was not a qualified fan before. If it weren't for Jack Walker's entry into Blackburn Rovers, Williams would probably not have been involved in the football industry at all.

Williams followed Jack Walker and joined Blackburn as his assistant. That’s how he entered the football circle.

But he has a dream, a great ambition.

Williams hopes to build a real football club. Not a club that can survive by relying on the blood transfusion of the boss behind it. But a truly self-sufficient club.

Williams hopes that the football club can be like the company he ran before. A club that can be self-sufficient and survive.

Although there are very few such clubs in the football circle. But Williams has always worked hard for this goal. And there are actually only two ways to achieve this goal.

One is the survival model of small clubs in European football. That is to train young players and then sell them. Of course, under the condition that the club cannot be relegated. But it is very difficult for such clubs to survive in the Premier League.

There are a few clubs that can rely on this model and still stay in the Premier League. It’s really rare.

But there is another model.

That is to take the high-end route. That is, the results are very good. With good results, you can have a high income. Including broadcasting fees, sponsorship fees, and ticket revenue. Because of the high income, as long as the expenditure is slightly controlled, it can be self-sufficient.

There can even be a lot of profits. These profits can be used to retain players, buy some good players, and maintain the competitiveness of the team. This is a virtuous circle.

But this is not easy. Because you need a powerful head coach, but this kind of head coach is hard to find.

In fact, Williams's idea is very similar to that of Manchester United later.

Williams hopes to open up sources of income and hopes to attract more fans with good results. It also attracts higher sponsorship fees. Only in this way can the club make a profit.

Therefore, entering the Champions League final has many benefits.

Needless to say, the Champions League bonus and broadcasting fees can also increase visibility. Williams can completely rely on this time to increase the club's sponsorship fees. This has always been Williams' dream.

As the head coach, George is the busiest.

Although George knew Real Madrid very well when he was a fan before. But the perspective at that time is different from the perspective of the coach now. Although Real Madrid is very famous, George still needs to do some work.

Understand the status of Real Madrid players during this period. There is also Bosque's strategy of using troops, etc.

In addition to these, George also needs to keep Blackburn players in shape. At the same time, they cannot let them get injured.

There is still half a month before the Champions League final, and there are two Premier League games in between. However, even the British media don't pay much attention to the two Premier League games. Compared with the two insignificant Premier League games, the Champions League final is what they value most.

…………

"When did he start extra training?"

George frowned and asked Carl next to him.

George did not leave early at night, but watched the video of Real Madrid's games in the Champions League. Including the last game with Arsenal. After all, George is not a head coach who started as a player. He is a head coach who has never received any player training.

Although many head coaches were unknown when they were players. But many of them received formal training since childhood, but they did not make a name for themselves in the end. Including Arsenal's current head coach Wenger, he did not achieve any results when he was a player, but he was also a player who received formal training.

But George is not like that. George has never been a player. He has never received formal training, just like Mourinho in later generations. They are all head coaches who came from wild roads. It's just that George got a coaching certificate early.

In fact, the so-called coaching certificate recognized by FIFA is really not very glorious. This kind of certificate can be obtained not only in China, but also in Europe as long as it is similar.

Therefore, George admires Mourinho very much.

He also appreciates Mourinho's work attitude. Mourinho is very serious and will definitely understand his opponents again and again. When Mourinho was in Portugal, he even paid for someone to learn about his opponents.

It was this serious attitude that made Mourinho so brilliant.

George is the same. George attaches great importance to collecting information about his opponents. Now that the Champions League final is about to be played, George spares no effort in collecting information about Real Madrid. George is analyzing almost all of Real Madrid's games this season. Even some insignificant games, George does not let go.

This day, he stayed with Evan and Carl to analyze the opponent. It was nearly two hours after the end of training. But George found that Klose had not left yet.

Klose was still on the training ground.

George likes the diligence of people like Klose and Drogba.

But he does not agree with them to practice privately. Reading martial arts novels, it is said that after reaching the limit, as long as you grit your teeth and persist, breaking through the limit will reach a higher level. George does not know if it is true. After all, Chinese martial arts are too fantasy, and George cannot judge whether it is true or not.

It is not the case to deny it completely. But agree that it is just some fictional novels.

But George is a football coach.

Know a little. If a person reaches his limit and still persists, it is not a breakthrough, but will hurt himself. This is true for players, including athletes. Sports require gradual progress, not blind persistence.

Therefore, George likes diligent players. But for their diligence, George's advice is to be diligent within the scope of scientific guidance. Not blind diligence.

Klose has just returned for more than a month, and George does not want him to have any other accidents. He is a striker that George relies on very much. Even if George uses him for another ten years, there will be no problem.

"It's been a while."

George frowned and wanted to reprimand Carl. Although the two have known each other for more than ten years and have a good relationship. But in work, public is public and private is private, and George thinks that the opinions should be raised. But before George spoke, Carl continued: "I approved it. And I arranged all the extra training projects for him."

George was stunned.

"Will his injury be a problem?"

Carl shook his head.

"Don't worry, I know the limit. He won't have any problems, and he is eager to fight now."

George nodded. After working with Carl for more than ten years, George trusts Carl very much. This is George's most admired partner.

"I know. Not only him, but all the players are eager to play now. That's the Champions League final, even I am a little excited. Not to mention them."

These days, all the players are much more active in training. George knows that many of them are for the Champions League final. Being able to play in the Champions League final is an exciting thing for them.

They are all willing to start.

But there are only eleven starting lists for a game. Who can start depends on George's arrangement. Therefore, everyone is working hard in training. Especially those players who have the opportunity to start.

George likes this.

Therefore, George has not announced the starting list. It's not that George doesn't have his own starting list in his mind, but George deliberately didn't say it.

"Karl, take it easy. Don't let Klose get anything wrong."

Karl smiled.

"Don't worry, George. I know what to do. But George, will you give Miro a chance in the final?" Karl was more puzzled. Because in training, George used various tactics. This made Karl a little confused.

What exactly does George think?

Hearing Carl's question, George shrugged.

"What do you think?"

"Yes."

"Why do you think so?"

"I noticed that when you were training, Miro always played as a single striker, while Nicolas and Didier practiced as double strikers. And you always emphasized the cooperation between Miro and John and Robert. I don't think it's for no reason."

George didn't say anything, looking at Evan next to him, and the two smiled.
