Chapter 255 Before the Game
With the UEFA Cup final approaching, more and more fans have begun to flock to Copenhagen.

According to the current statistics of ticket sales, Blackburn has sold more than 1 tickets.And Galatasaray also has 1 fans.Although the ticket sales work is not over yet, both parties don't have many tickets.

Because in addition to these two clubs, a considerable part of the tickets are reserved for neutral fans.Because the UEFA Cup final stadium has a small capacity, there are not many tickets left for neutral fans.

With the influx of England fans and Turkish fans, the Copenhagen police are getting more and more nervous.

And there was news before the game that Leeds United fans will take revenge on the Turks in Copenhagen due to being eliminated by Turkey's Galatasaray in the UEFA Cup semi-finals and two fans were killed in Istanbul.

Although I don't know whether this matter is true or not, it has already made many police in Copenhagen more vigilant.

Copenhagen police spokesman Fleming Manci said: "We will not leave any chance for the British to make trouble. We have stepped up entry checks on British football hooligans. There have been no reports of these hooligans appearing in the city. And we Street patrols have also been stepped up."

Preben Fischer, head of the Copenhagen Railway Bureau Police, also said: "We have entered a state of full alert since the morning of the 15th. There is no news of any fans making trouble. Most fans will arrive on the morning of the 17th. If They dare to cause trouble, and our personnel will be there in a few minutes. Generally speaking, we are everywhere."

Although the police in Copenhagen are nervous, they are still full of confidence in the security work this time.

But when Copenhagen's police spokesman, Fleming Manche, spoke, George, as Blackburn's coach, attacked the Copenhagen police for the first time.

"I want to ask Mr. Manci, why do you only say that you are a British football hooligan and not Turkey. Everything in the world has a cause and effect. If it weren't for the murder of a Leeds United fan in Istanbul, the current How can the atmosphere be so tense. Could it be that you only see British fans making trouble, while Turkish fans are gentlemen?"

"I think Mr. Manche has serious regional discrimination and discriminates against fans from England. I think from such a discriminatory point of view, as long as there is any conflict, in the eyes of the Copenhagen police, it must be the England fans who made trouble first. I think this is very important for England. How unfair the fans are."

In fact, there are many hooligans in English football. As the coach of England, George definitely knows more than others.Just like West Ham United and Millwall in London, that is a gathering place for football hooligans.If at any other time, whoever attacks English football hooligans, what does it matter to George?
However, the two opponents in the UEFA Cup final are Blackburn and Galatasaray.

Most of the British fans who came to Copenhagen this time were Blackburn fans.George can't let the Copenhagen police slander Blackburn fans with empty teeth.So I chose to fight back against the Copenhagen police.

In fact, the Copenhagen police definitely have no intention of deliberately targeting British football hooligans.Just because of the rumors before the game, Leeds United fans also flocked to Copenhagen.Their purpose is to avenge the dead fans, which makes the Copenhagen police extremely worried.

But when George said so, the nature changed.

First, the Blackburn fans group stated in front of the media that they were just a group of fanatical fans and definitely not football hooligans.

Then some people in English football also felt inappropriate for the statement made by the Copenhagen police spokesman.They all think that the Copenhagen police look at the fans of both sides with colored glasses.

In the end, even the British sports minister came out.He believes that as the host of the UEFA Cup, their preconceived views are very wrong.Their remarks seriously hurt the feelings of British fans.

Under the pressure of all parties, the Copenhagen police were very helpless, and in the end they could only come out to explain.They definitely don't mean that, they don't favor fans of either side.As long as there are troublesome fans, whether they are British fans or Turkish fans, they will treat them equally.

"Whether George is there, he can set off a storm."

"Look at the people who just arrived in Copenhagen, and they forced the Copenhagen police to apologize. If it wasn't for George, who would catch them and hunt them down fiercely."

When the Copenhagen police apologized and explained, the English media felt very funny.

In fact, George did not expect an apology from the Copenhagen police.It's just that I think the speech of the Copenhagen police is very inappropriate.

George is just a coach, the biggest idea now is how to deal with Galatasaray.

Galatasaray is a very aggressive team.And although there are many Turkish talents, their style of play is not like the aggressive style of the Turkish national team.On the contrary, it is somewhat similar to Blackburn, which is a midfield control style of play.

This has something to do with Galatasaray having a world superstar.He is the Romanian midfielder Georgi Haji.

Haji is an excellent field commander and organizer. He has an extraordinary awareness of time and space, excellent ball control skills, and good timing of passing. He is the soul of the team.Haji is good at using his left foot, known as the "golden left foot". He uses his left foot to control the ball, pass the ball, and shoot.In particular, his long shot with his left foot is as fast and accurate as a missile, which is breathtaking.

Haji is old, currently over 35 years old.

In football, as long as he is over 32 or 33 years old, then this player has basically reached the age of retirement.

At the age of 35, it is very rare to be able to play the main force in the club.But Haji is not only a main player at the age of 35, but also the core midfielder of Galatasaray.

Haji, although he is very old.But his strength in midfield cannot be ignored.

Plus Emre in the middle.Emre is a talented player. Although he is young, his strength should not be underestimated.This combination of one old and one young is definitely number one in controlling the ball.

They can calmly play a ball-controlling style of play, which has something to do with Haji and Emre in their midfield.Of course, it is also related to the center forward Hakan Suker who is at the top.

Hakan Su's ability to control the air is very strong.The ability to dominate the air alone will not be hailed as the best striker outside the five major leagues.Hakan Suker's receiving, passing and shooting in the front field are all first-class.It is with strikers like Hakan Suker that Galatasaray's midfield control style is very effective.

George likes to play against this kind of team.

George doesn't like to play against the kind of unreasonable teams, especially the teams in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League.

"George, George, here we are."

Evan pokes George.Awoke the pensive George.

George looked out the car window and found that he was already outside the Copenhagen Park Stadium.There are already many fans gathered outside, waiting for the arrival of the team.Seeing their clothes, George knew they were Blackburn fans.

"George! George!"

When the doors of the bus opened, there was a sudden roar of cheers from all the Blackburn fans.

These fans are not all fans without tickets, in fact, most of them have tickets.Fans rarely come to Copenhagen without tickets.These people do not enter the stadium, but outside the stadium just to welcome the Blackburn team.

So when the Blackburn bus arrived, there were cheers one after another.

This can surprise the Copenhagen police officers on duty.They are very familiar with British football hooligans, so they are very nervous to maintain order on the scene.

But the reporters in front didn't care about that and just leaned forward.All the microphones and cameras were aimed at George.

"Coach Levy, do you have any thoughts on the game?"

The reporter who finally took the most important position asked a well-regulated question.This made the reporters behind who hadn't grabbed the position secretly despise that reporter.Especially the reporter from England, who despises him the most. He looks like a rookie at first glance.

Who is George?The famous big mouth.Interviewing George is all about asking explosive questions.What is your problem?
"The runner-up is a failure for me, and I will not be a loser."

George answered the reporter with a smile.Then suddenly the voice rose. "All I want is a champion, and I don't want anything else. A champion, only a champion!"

"Champion! Champion! We want a champion!" Seeing George's sudden words, the Blackburn fans outside echoed George loudly.

George held up his hands to silence everyone.

Sure enough, after George raised his hands, the Blackburn fans who were still excited just now fell silent.Waiting for George's next words.George looked at them, still quite complacent in his heart.Look at my influence is still quite large.

"I promise you, when we go back we will go home with the UEFA Cup winners in our arms."

"Woooooo-"

"George! George!"

"Champion! Champion!"

Blackburn fans are already boiling on the periphery.Constantly rushing to the front, the police maintaining order were very dissatisfied.

"Hi everyone, I'm Mark Beforth, a reporter from the BBC. I'm reporting live at the gate of the Copenhagen Park Stadium. Just now, Coach Levy assured all the media and Blackburn fans that the UEFA Cup champion must be Blackburn. Exciting promise, all Blackburn fans are already crazy."

"Coach Levy said at the beginning of the season that the goal of this season is the UEFA Cup. Now that Blackburn has entered the UEFA Cup final, we have reason to believe that Coach Levy will be able to lead Blackburn to the UEFA Cup."

BBC reporter Mark Beforth stood among the excited Blackburn fans and introduced the scene to everyone.

Amidst the cheers of all the fans, George slowly entered the Copenhagen Park Stadium.
