Coaching legend

The Monaco players all came forward to receive the award listlessly.

In fact, it is a remarkable achievement for Monaco to become the runner-up of the Champions League. Before the start of this season, who could have thought that Monaco could enter the Champions League final.

But human greed is infinite.

Monaco met Real Madrid, and many people thought that Monaco's Champions League journey was over. But Monaco miraculously reversed Real Madrid and finally eliminated Real Madrid.

After that, Monaco met Arsenal, and many people thought that Monaco would leave the Champions League.

After all, Arsenal is one of the best teams in Europe this season.

But Monaco once again eliminated Arsenal and entered the Champions League final.

People are like this.

Maybe even Deschamps and Monaco players themselves did not expect to enter the Champions League final.

Since they have entered the Champions League final, they must want to continue to create miracles.

Champions League champion!

Who can resist this temptation.

Real Madrid, a team that has won eight Champions League titles, can't resist it! Monaco, a team that entered the Champions League final for the first time, is even more irresistible!

But the higher the hope, the greater the disappointment.

If someone told Monaco players before the season that they could win the Champions League runner-up. These players would not know how happy and excited they were.

But they entered the Champions League final and only won the Champions League runner-up.

They only had one thing left, that is disappointment. Deep disappointment.

Even Evra, who was very unconvinced before the game, lowered his head almost at a 45-degree angle. He didn't even look at anyone in front of him, but just quietly took the silver medal.

But at this time, no one cared about them.

Everyone was waiting for Blackburn to go on stage to receive the award.

Behind George was Sagnol.

Speaking of which, Sagnol's injury has not yet healed. But simple walking is still not a problem.

In fact, Sagnol was not supposed to appear here.

But George brought Sagnol with him. Sagnol has a high prestige among Blackburn fans, and even in the locker room, he is quite popular.

In the history of Blackburn, maybe after a few decades, Deco, Makelele, and even Pires will only become names. Even many people will forget them. In addition to players like Miku and Klose, even the current main players may not be remembered by many people in decades.

Miku, that is the core of Blackburn. He is the most elegant player in Blackburn. He is also known as the greatest player in Blackburn's history.

Klose will soon become the greatest shooter in Blackburn's history.

But Sagnol will definitely stay in the hearts of Blackburn fans forever.

Because although Sagnol is not so dazzling on the field, he is the greatest captain of Blackburn. Since the rise of Blackburn, Sagnol has been the captain of Blackburn.

So George brought him to the award ceremony.

George wants Sagnol to lift the Champions League trophy. Let Sagnol, the meritorious captain, lift the Champions League trophy with the team.

"George, George!"

When it was George's turn to get the medal, all the Blackburn fans in the audience shouted George's name.

At this time, they all forgot that George was from Burnley and how they used to boo George. Now they only have one thought in their minds, George is the angel sent by God to Blackburn.

"Young man, congratulations."

Johnson always calls George a young man.

But in front of this old man, George is really a young man. Although George and Blackburn are not Johansson's direct line, Johansson has always been good to George.

"Thank you."

George shook Johansson's hand with a big smile on his face.

"George, I'm waiting for the opportunity to give you the award again in the future."

Johnson really likes George. Although George's mouth is not forgiving, George is the most capable and best-performing coach among the young coaches that have emerged in European football in recent years.

Although good people like Ancelotti are more popular with UEFA officials. Most of those UEFA officials don't like coaches from England. Because they are too unruly. But Johansson has no prejudice against thorns like George. As long as they are talented, Johansson likes them and will protect them.

George smiled.

"Mr. Chairman, I hope you will give me an award every year."

"Hahaha!"

Johansson laughed loudly on the podium. The laughter even made many people around him look sideways.

Even the director's camera followed Johansson closely. The commentator was puzzled and didn't understand why Johansson was so happy.

After George, it was finally Saniol who came on stage.

Johansson stopped laughing and gave Saniol the medal.

At the end, it was also the climax moment.

George and Saniol, each holding one side of the trophy, raised it high at the same time.

"Champions, we are champions!"

"Long live Blackburn!"

In an instant, cheers rose and fell in the Schalke Stadium.

Blackburn fans failed to create a record like 129 decibels, but still shook the Schalke Stadium.

…………

In the team's plane back home, all the players had fallen asleep.

Although they still had to go to Blackburn to continue the celebration, the stadium had already been celebrating wildly. They were all very tired.

So after taking the plane, they fell asleep quickly.

But George hadn't slept yet.

Because George, Paul and Williams were discussing summer plans.

Since Blackburn built a new stadium, the construction of the new stadium was not completed overnight. There were many problems during the construction process. In March of this year, due to some other funding problems, the construction was suspended for nearly 20 days.

But fortunately, the problem was not serious and the work was resumed soon.

So far, there has been no real big problem with the new stadium. But Williams is already anxious. One person is responsible for such a large project, Williams is very anxious. The loss caused by the suspension of work for 20 days is also very large.

Therefore, Williams now has to use hundreds of thousands of pounds of money one by one.

"George, I know this is a bit difficult, but..."

George waved his hand and interrupted Williams. George knew that Williams was also in a difficult situation, so he understood him.

"How many games do we have to play?"

"China, Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong and Bangkok, Thailand. Five games in total."

George closed his eyes and sighed deeply.

Yes, Paul and Williams planned Blackburn's trip to Asia. Since Real Madrid's successful trip to Asia in 2003, all European giants have set their sights on Asia. Paul and Williams are no exception.

They have been planning this, but they have never been able to make it.

They have been planning this for a long time. And now that they have won the Champions League, Blackburn's trip to Asia has increased the stakes.

"Five games? It's not a low task."

George could only sigh. He had to sigh.

There is also the European Cup this summer, and many Blackburn players will participate in the European Cup. After participating in the European Cup, they have to go to Asia thousands of miles away to play games. The players must be very tired.

But George couldn't object.

George knew that for Blackburn now, millions and tens of millions are money.

Going to Asia to pan for gold may earn tens of millions of pounds. This amount of money is not small for Blackburn. And it is only the income of one summer, which is a huge income.

"Don't worry, George. As long as we get through this period, there will be no such thing in the future. Even if it is to consolidate the Asian market, it will only take five to six years, seven to eight years." Paul saw George's look and explained to George apologetically.

Seeing Paul's look, George nodded.

Paul is really a good chairman except that he is too confident and has too big plans.

He is a fanatical fan of Blackburn.

Since Paul took over Blackburn, Blackburn has actually made a lot of money in the transfer market or club management. But Paul didn't put a penny in his own pocket. All of it was reinvested in the construction of the club.

George can even confidently say that Blackburn's youth training camp is now the most advanced in the Premier League. Both hardware and software are very advanced. Of course, software needs accumulation, but the construction of this hardware is all invested by Paul with the club's profits in the past few seasons.

There are also various departments of the Blackburn Club, which are very complete. All of these require money.

Blackburn also has a very complete medical team. Although it cannot be compared with the Milan laboratory, it is also a very comprehensive medical team. These are all piled up with money after Paul took over.

In addition to these, Paul never interferes with George's affairs in the team. Whether it is the sale of players or George's arrangement in the team, Paul does not care. He knows how to respect the authority of the head coach.

No matter who George offends outside, Paul will firmly support him. Even if George causes trouble himself, Paul will support George behind. Therefore, George still likes Paul very much.

No matter from which aspect, Paul is definitely a good chairman.

Paul supports himself so much, and George also gives Paul face.

"Paul, don't worry. I know what to do, you arrange it well. But I don't want to arrange too many commercial activities, which will easily affect the results of next season."

Hearing George's words, Paul and Williams looked at each other.

Finally, Williams came out to answer.

"Okay, George. I will refuse some unnecessary commercial activities. But you should know that if we deal with it too much when opening up the Asian market this time, it is easy to be criticized by them."

George understood what Williams meant.

So he nodded helplessly.

Training in Asia sounds good. But in fact, it is to make money in Asia, which only makes their players suffer.

Next season?
