Chapter 552 This is Your Home

The No.30 round of the Premier League is about to begin.

Burnley will travel to Blackburn.

In addition to this round of competition, there is no major event.Therefore, everyone's eyes in English football are focused on this game.

How will Blackburn fans treat George, a meritorious coach?
Will he be scolded by fans like George did when he left Burnley?
BBC TV made a program before the game called "George's 11 years in Blackburn!" ".It's a nearly three 10-minute documentary.

It reviewed George's 11 years at Blackburn in detail.Almost every big thing is covered.

George had a rough start at Blackburn, especially the eight-nil loss to Arsenal.There was also the glory of George leading Blackburn to the UEFA Cup, the Premier League, and later defeating Real Madrid to win the Champions League.

There are many precious materials in it.All compiled by the BBC for this group of reports.

There was much praise for George's achievements at Blackburn.Of course George does have a lot to commend him.Three Champions League titles, three league titles, such heavy trophies are placed in Blackburn, how can there be no place for praise.

As the greatest local coach in England for decades, George has too many stories to tell.

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

After praising George fiercely, the picture changed to a picture of George becoming the head coach of Burnley.

"George back at Blackburn?"

The meaning is very simple.

How Blackburn fans will treat this meritorious coach.

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

The BBC program is doing really well.The first is praise, followed by talking about George being booed by Burnley fans over the years.

This episode of the program was produced, and the response was very good.

Everyone is curious.

Even Mark Lawrenson ridiculed George in his column. "Coach Levy jumps between Burnley and Blackburn. Although Coach Levy has good intentions to take over Burnley and be a firefighting coach. But until now, Burnley fans have not had any reaction. Because they Can't forgive George for taking Blackburn 12 years ago."

"How will Blackburn fans treat George?"

"Coach Levy is in England, and only Blackburn fans support him. In any away game, he is booed more than the players. If Blackburn fans don't welcome him, does Coach Levy still have fans?"

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

The BBC program and what Mark Lawrenson said hit everyone's minds.Everyone is indeed very curious about how Blackburn fans will treat George.Will George be booed.

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

On March 2010, 3, George led Burnley to Blackburn.

Blackburn is currently ranked No.9 in the Premier League.Allardyce failed to lead Blackburn to a higher position, only to maintain the current position.Now Blackburn is close to No.8 in the Premier League, nearly ten points behind.

It looks like there will be no Blackburn in the Europa League next season.

As the Champions League champion last season, he did not even qualify for the UEFA Cup.It's so embarrassing.

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

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

There is so much to cover in the Premier League right now.

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

Blackburn, already in decline, was not enough to make it into their coverage.

But this day was different. Hundreds of journalists poured into Blackburn.

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

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

This is the name that 90.00% of Blackburn fans agreed with at the time.At that time, in memory of Jack Walker, it was named Jack Walker Stadium.For this name, George also very much agrees.

As for the annoying name now, George would never admit it.

Of course, Blackburn fans will not agree.They still call the stadium Jack Walker Stadium.

When George got off the bus, hundreds of reporters rushed over.They all surrounded George, asking questions in a hurry.

But this time, George didn't answer anything.

Just barely smiled.

For Blackburn to have fallen to the present point, George is sad in his heart.Anyway, the Blackburn team that won the Champions League back then was built by George.Now don't talk about the Champions League places, even the UEFA Cup places, it really shouldn't be.

…………

"George, it's almost time."

Seeing that George had been sitting in the locker room, Karl pushed George.

George looked at his watch, and indeed the game was about to start.It will be too late if you don't go out.

With a sigh, George walked out of the locker room.

The stadium that is very familiar, but when it comes out, the feeling is completely different.The former owner of the stadium has now become a guest.

"Coach Levi, hello."

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

"Coach Allardyce, hello."

George strengthened his handshake.

Allardyce?Not bad at Blackburn.George thanked Allardyce for this.

Allardyce smiled wryly.

It was Jerome Anderson who came to Blackburn and became the head coach of Blackburn.Allardyce is also the coach under Jerome Anderson, and it is still very attractive to be in the Champions League championship team like Blackburn.

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

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

Plus George's record at Blackburn was fantastic.

Blackburn fans are used to winning, used to championships.Since George entered the Champions League for the first time, he has entered the Champions League for ten consecutive years.And in the past ten years, he has not been defeated in the group stage once.

But not this season.

Grades are getting lower and lower.The number of home fans is decreasing.When George was there, there were at least [-] fans in the usual league.Even if there are more than [-] fans in important games, it is not impossible.After a season, the average number of players played is about [-].

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

But this season, the average number of people at the scene is only about 4.Much, much less.

Fortunately, I don't know if it's to welcome George or to brag about George. Today's Jack Walker Stadium is almost full.Nearly 8 fans flocked in.

This put a lot of pressure on Allardyce.

So facing George, he could only smile wryly.

The friendship between the two was average, so they just shook hands politely, and then left separately.

"George! George, welcome home!"

At the moment when George turned around, the Jack Walker Stadium, which was relatively quiet just now, burst into loud cheers. The cheers of 8 people are absolutely beyond your imagination.

The entire Jack Walker stadium trembled.

"George! George!"

All the fans were chanting George's name.A huge portrait of George suddenly appeared in the North Stand, with the words "George, this is your home!" underneath.

Everyone in the stadium heard a constant "buzzing" sound.

"George, George is back." The live commentator was also very excited. "George, the greatest manager in our Blackburn history, is back. Let's welcome George together!"

"Woooooo-"

"George! George!"

George paused, suddenly at a loss for what to say.So I can only wave my hands.

With George waving, the fans cheered louder and louder.

"The Blackburn fans didn't boo George because he entered Burnley. Instead, they cheered enthusiastically. It's different from what we thought before the game. It's really different!"

It's definitely not because Blackburn fans are sane.

Because in the eyes of Blackburn fans, George went to Burnley as a firefighting coach, which is a pity for Burnley.So there was no reaction from the Burnley fans who hated George.

The cheers were loud, until George sat down.

The Blackburn fans stopped cheering.But another kind of ridicule began. "George is our best manager...shit Indian, get out of Blackburn!"

"Get out! You are not welcome at Blackburn! Get out!"

If we say that the cheers of 8 people just now are shocking.Then 8 people shouted "shit Indians" together, and the momentum was shocking.

Said's face was ashen in the VIP seat.

No matter who it is, it will not be in a good mood to call the fans such ridicule and abuse in person.Especially in this kind of nationwide live broadcast game, how could Said look good when his fans abused him so much.

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

A rich second generation like Said attaches great importance to face.Now tens of thousands of fans shouted "shit!", and even his family was humiliated, how can Said look good?
