Coaching legend

The 30th round of the Premier League is about to begin.

Burnley will challenge Blackburn on the road.

There is no highlight in this round of games. Therefore, everyone in the English football world is focused on this game.

How will Blackburn fans treat George, the meritorious coach?

Will he be cursed by fans like when George left Burnley?

BBC TV made a program before the game called "George's 11 Years at Blackburn!" This is a nearly 30-minute documentary.

It reviews George's 11 years at Blackburn in detail. Almost all the big things are included.

There are George's initial difficulties at Blackburn, especially the 0-8 loss to Arsenal. There is also George's glory in leading Blackburn to win the League Cup and the Premier League, and then defeating Real Madrid to win the Champions League.

There are a lot of precious materials in it. They are all compiled by the BBC for this group of reports.

It praises George's achievements at Blackburn. Of course, George does have a lot to praise. Three Champions League titles, three league titles, such heavy trophies are placed in Blackburn, how can there be no praise.

George is the greatest local coach in England in decades, and there are too many stories to tell.

Of course, the BBC will not be bored enough to make a special program to praise George. BBC is not George's private TV station.

After praising George fiercely, the picture changed to George taking office as the head coach of Burnley.

"George is back in Blackburn?"

The meaning is very simple.

How will Blackburn fans treat this meritorious coach.

Will they treat George like the Burnley fans did in the past? This is what everyone is curious about.

This BBC program is very well done. First, praise, and then it tells the story of George being booed by Burnley fans in recent years.

This episode of the program has received a lot of response.

Everyone is curious.

Even Mark Lawrenson ridiculed George in his column. "Coach Levy jumps back and forth between Burnley and Blackburn. Although Coach Levy is kind enough to join Burnley as a fire-fighting coach, Burnley fans have not responded so far. Because they cannot forgive George for joining Blackburn twelve years ago."

"How will Blackburn fans treat George?"

"Coach Levy only has Blackburn fans supporting him in England. When he goes to any away game, he is booed more than the players. If Blackburn fans don't welcome him, will Coach Levy still have fans?"

"Coach Levy really thinks he is God. The result of his jumping back and forth is that Blackburn fans hate George, and Burnley fans will not forgive George."

The BBC program and Mark Lawrenson's statement hit everyone's mind. Everyone is really curious about how Blackburn fans will treat George. Will they boo George?

Everyone is waiting for that day. Waiting for the day when George returns to Blackburn.

On March 13, 2010, George led Burnley to Blackburn.

Blackburn Rovers is currently ranked ninth in the Premier League. Allardyce failed to lead Blackburn Rovers to a higher position and can only maintain its current position. Blackburn Rovers is now nearly ten points behind the eighth place in the Premier League.

It seems that Blackburn Rovers will not be in the European League next season.

As the Champions League champion last season, they did not even qualify for the UEFA Cup. It is too shameful.

But for Allardyce, it is already a very good result.

The media is the same as George for Blackburn Rovers. At the beginning of the season, the English football world was still paying more attention to Blackburn Rovers. After all, it was the Champions League champion last season. But as the season progressed, few media really cared about Blackburn Rovers.

There are too many things to report about the Premier League now.

Manchester United and Arsenal are traditionally strong, and Chelsea just invited Ancelotti at the beginning of the season. They are all strong contenders for the championship. There is also Manchester City, which invested hundreds of millions of pounds in the summer transfer market. Which of these is not full of news.

The already declining Blackburn Rovers is not enough to be included in their reports.

But this day was different. Hundreds of reporters poured into Blackburn Rovers.

This is the first time Blackburn has received so much attention since the start of the season. It is the first time to receive so many reporters.

Nearly ten months later, George came to the Jack Walker Stadium again. Of course, it is not called the Jack Walker Stadium now. The naming rights of the stadium were sold to an Indian company. But George would never admit it.

This was the name that 90% of Blackburn fans agreed with at the time. At that time, it was named Jack Walker Stadium in memory of Jack Walker. George also agreed with this name.

As for the current annoying name, George would not admit it at all.

Of course, Blackburn fans would not agree with it either. They still call the stadium Jack Walker Stadium.

When George got off the bus, hundreds of reporters rushed over. They all surrounded George and asked questions.

But this time, George did not answer anything.

He just smiled reluctantly.

George was sad about Blackburn's decline. After all, the Blackburn team that won the Champions League was built by George. Now, let alone the Champions League, they can't even get a place in the League Cup. It's really not right.

…………

"George, time is almost up."

Seeing George sitting in the locker room, Karl pushed George.

George looked at his watch and saw that the game was about to start. If he didn't go out, it would be a bit late.

Sighing, George walked out of the locker room.

It was a very familiar stadium, but when he came out, he felt completely different. The former owner of the stadium has now become a guest.

"Hello, Coach Levy."

Allardyce is famous for his big head. If you look at Allardyce up close, he looks like a character in anime.

"Hello, Coach Allardyce."

George shook hands with more force.

Allardyce? He did a good job in Blackburn. George was thanking Allardyce.

Allardyce smiled bitterly.

It was Jerome Anderson who came to Blackburn and became the head coach of Blackburn. Allardyce was also a coach under Jerome Anderson, and it was still very attractive to join a Champions League champion team like Blackburn.

But after becoming the head coach of Blackburn, Allardyce realized that he had been fooled.

Blackburn almost sold all the good players. Allardyce was left with a mess.

In addition, George's performance at Blackburn was really outstanding.

Blackburn fans are used to winning and winning championships. George has entered the Champions League for ten consecutive years since he first entered the Champions League. And in the past ten years, he has never failed in the group stage.

But this season is not good.

The results are getting worse and worse. The number of home fans is getting worse and worse. When George was there, there were at least 60,000 fans in the ordinary league. It is not impossible to have more than 70,000 fans in important games. In a season, the average number of people on the field is about 65,000.

Although it is not as good as Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​and Manchester United, the number of people on the scene is also counted in European football.

But this season, the average number of people on the scene is only about 40,000. It is much less.

Fortunately, I don’t know whether it is to welcome George or to brag about George. Today’s Jack Walker Stadium is almost full. Nearly 80,000 fans poured in.

This put a lot of pressure on Allardyce.

So he could only smile bitterly when facing George.

The two of them were not very close, so they just shook hands politely and then left.

"George! George, welcome home!"

At the moment George turned around, the Jack Walker Stadium, which was relatively quiet just now, suddenly burst into huge cheers. The cheers of 80,000 people are absolutely beyond your imagination.

The entire Jack Walker Stadium trembled.

"George! George!"

All the fans shouted George's name. A huge portrait of George suddenly appeared on the north stand, with "George, this is your home!" written below.

Everyone in the stadium had a constant "buzzing" sound in their ears.

"George, George is back." The on-site commentator was also very excited. "George, the greatest coach in Blackburn's history, is back. Let's welcome George together!"

"Woo-woo--"

"George! George!"

George paused, and suddenly didn't know what to say. So he could only wave his hand.

As George waved his hand, the cheers of the fans became louder and louder.

"Blackburn fans did not boo George because he took over Burnley. Instead, they cheered enthusiastically. It was different from what we thought before the game, really different!"

This is definitely not because Blackburn fans are rational.

Because in the eyes of Blackburn fans, George going to Burnley as a fire-fighting coach is pitiful for Burnley. So there is no reaction of Burnley fans hating George at the beginning.

The cheers were loud until George sat down.

Blackburn fans did stop cheering. But they started another kind of ridicule. "George is our best coach... shitty Indian, get out of Blackburn!"

"Get out! Blackburn doesn't welcome you! Get out!"

If the cheers of 80,000 people just now were shocking. Then 80,000 people shouted "shit Indians" together, and the momentum was earth-shaking.

Said's face turned pale in the VIP seats.

No matter who it is, being ridiculed and abused by fans in front of them will not be a good mood. Especially in such a nationally broadcasted game, how can Said's face be good when his own fans abuse him like this.

Unless he is extremely thick-skinned, like Newcastle's chairman Sheffield, he may not feel the boos of the fans.

Rich second-generations like Said attach great importance to face. Now that tens of thousands of fans are shouting "shit!", and even their family is humiliated, how can Said's face be good?
