Coaching legend

The English Football Association said it would give an explanation, but it has been delayed for nearly a month before it was said.

The spokesperson of the English Football Association stood in front of the media very seriously.

"After discussion, we believe that the 'special talent clause' proposed by Coach Levy is very consistent with the current development of world football and is also beneficial to the development of English football."

"Therefore, we decided to accept the 'special talent clause'."

Then it was explained what kind of players meet the "special talent clause". And emphasized that a club has only one quota per season.

This is what George is waiting for. Although the "special talent clause" has many clauses. There are a lot of conditions in it, what kind of player is considered a special talent. But George didn't look at it carefully.

The so-called "special talent" has different opinions from everyone. There is no hard and fast rule for this kind of thing.

Just like in history, Ferguson bought the Korean star Park Ji-sung. Some people think that Park Ji-sung has nothing, only one thing is that he can run. Some people think that he has good skills, and of course some people think that his running is very distinctive.

Anyway, there are different opinions in the eyes of a hundred people.

How to determine that person is a genius at this time?

But Ferguson thought this guy was useful, so he used the "special talent clause" to introduce Park Ji-sung. There are no quantitative conditions for this kind of thing. How was it introduced at that time? Hiddink testified in court, and with Manchester United's public relations ability, it was easy to approve it.

In other words, each club has one quota per season, which means that each club has one quota. After the candidate is determined, whether it can be passed depends on the public relations ability of your club.

Park Ji-sung was able to get this quota very smoothly in Ferguson's hands. But if it changes to another club, it may not be approved.

So George is not worried at all.

Although Blackburn is not a giant in English football, it is not a club with great influence. But its public relations ability is not bad. In addition, finding a heavyweight to help should not be a problem.

…………

The "special talent clause" was lively for a while, but the media's attention was soon attracted back to the game.

What impact this new clause will have on English football is still unclear. However, the current league is very intense, and the European Cup will be restarted soon, so everyone's attention is still on the game.

In the current Premier League, Blackburn is currently fighting with Manchester United. Blackburn is still two points ahead of Manchester United. But Manchester United also has one less game than Blackburn.

Both teams now have the task of European competitions, Manchester United plays in the Champions League and Blackburn plays in the League Cup. They are fighting on two fronts and have been in good shape recently. Is Manchester United still the old and spicy, or is Blackburn a newborn calf that is not afraid of tigers.

This fight between dragons and tigers attracted the attention of all media.

At the same time, the list of opponents in the League Cup round of 16 has also been released.

Unlike the opponents in the first, second and third rounds of the League Cup, this time Blackburn really signed a strong enemy.

Although the first three opponents were all European powerhouses in history. But now the three teams have completely declined. Even Spartak Moscow, which is slightly stronger, has now declined seriously.

But as soon as the draw for the round of 16 opponents came out, George sighed.

Although he thought that he would meet some strong teams after entering the round of 16, George took a deep breath when the draw results came out.

Damn, although there are many strong teams in the round of 16, there are also weak teams like Slavia Prague, Lens, and Monaco. Why didn't they meet them?

Blackburn's opponent in the round of 16 is the Italian Roma team.

Although Roma is not ranked high in the Italian Serie A now, it is a real Serie A strong team. There are countless strong players in it. George also knows that in the first season of the new millennium, Roma was still the Serie A champion.

Of course, what George fears most is that the head coach of Roma is Capello.

Who is Capello? Capello's achievements in the six years of Milan can be compared with Ferguson's achievements in Manchester United for more than ten years.

He won four Serie A titles in six years as AC Milan coach, and set a record of 58 unbeaten league games in 1991/1993. In the 1993/1994 European Championship final, he led Milan to beat Barcelona 4:0. That Barcelona team is known as the "Dream One" in Barcelona's history. Capello defeated Barcelona's Dream Team and won AC Milan's fifth Champions League title.

Later, he went to Real Madrid and won the La Liga title.

Of course, if it was just a glorious history, George would not be afraid of Capello.

Capello is an absolute famous coach. He not only won the Serie A title in Rome, but also won the Serie A title in Juventus and the La Liga title in Real Madrid. Capello's coaching style is to focus on discipline and defensive tactics.

Even Mourinho later publicly declared that he was a "follower of Capello."

It was a bad thing that he ran into Roma.

Although he was afraid of Capello, George was not afraid of Roma. If a few years ago, when talking about Serie A teams, they looked down on Premier League teams.

But in recent years, Chelsea has won the Cup Winners' Cup and Manchester United has won the Champions League. The Premier League has gradually moved towards European football and is no longer a forgotten corner of European football.

George is not afraid of Ferguson's Manchester United, so how can he be afraid of Roma. But if possible, George is absolutely unwilling to face Capello and Roma.

But George is a hard-mouthed landlord, and he did not show his inner thoughts in front of reporters. He said very calmly: "The top 16 of the League Cup are all strong teams. It doesn't matter which one we meet, and there is no problem meeting Roma."

The draw has just ended, and Blackburn ushered in the fifth round of the FA Cup.

Maybe George has used up all his luck. This season, not only have important players been injured one after another, but the luck of the draw is also average. In the fifth round of the FA Cup, Blackburn drew Aston Villa.

This team is the team George is most reluctant to see. Even if the main players are all out, it is not easy to beat Villa away. Not to mention that George will never let the main players play in the FA Cup when he is fighting on two fronts in the league and the League Cup.

Now the schedule is getting more and more dense, George has little room to think about the FA Cup.

So all the substitutes came out, although they tried very hard. But in the end they were defeated by Villa with a score of 1 to 3. They were eliminated in the FA Cup. But George breathed a sigh of relief after the game.

Although George didn't care about the FA Cup in his heart, if he hadn't been eliminated yet, there would always be a little bit of luck. Especially once Blackburn passed Villa, they entered the sixth round of the FA Cup. At that time, there were only three games left to the FA Cup championship, and George didn't know if he could resist the temptation.

After all, the FA Cup is also a championship, and it is a cup competition with a good reputation in England.

Now it's still a good thing to be eliminated in the fifth round.

George can concentrate on playing the league and the League Cup. George doesn't want to give up either the Premier League championship or the League Cup championship. But George has no experience in both.

Maybe his luck is really bad recently. After Blackburn was eliminated in the fifth round of the FA Cup, they immediately went away to play Tottenham Hotspur.

George was determined to win this game, and Manchester United behind him had already opened its fangs and sharp mouths, waiting for George to make a mistake. George encouraged the players to take down Tottenham and then return the pressure to Manchester United. Blackburn kicked off earlier than Manchester United, so George wanted to use victory to tell Ferguson that Blackburn had the confidence to defend the top spot.

Unfortunately, the idea was good, but the reality was cruel.

Blackburn, who was full of confidence, turned out to be in the gutter. Blackburn, which had recently won five consecutive games, was beaten 3-0 by Tottenham, which George looked down upon, at White Hart Lane.

George was very angry and had a gloomy face since the beginning of the game.

Because the game had just started for less than five minutes, Tottenham caught them off guard. Then Blackburn was anxious and forgot that their head coach was George Graham. He was best at playing this kind of game.

At Arsenal, Graham was the "one-to-zero" doctrine.

Blackburn was anxious and rushed to attack, and fell into Graham's trap. The midfield was too high, and Spurs hit two counterattacks.

After Spurs scored the second goal, George suddenly woke up. It seems that the Premier League title made him confused and anxious, and he couldn't keep his composure. As long as he plays steadily, he can still equalize. But it's too late now.

No wonder Keegan was confused by Ferguson. The Premier League title is so tempting that George's head was hot in this game.

However, George's annoyance soon turned into regret, complete regret. Because in the next game, Manchester United was tied 2-2 by Wimbledon, and was tied 1-1 by Liverpool in the make-up game.

George wanted to hit his head against the wall. If he beat Tottenham, Blackburn would really lead Manchester United by three points and completely consolidate his top position. It's a pity that now he didn't widen the gap with Manchester United, but let Manchester United catch up with Blackburn by two points. Now the points of the two teams are tied.

Damn Tottenham!

If he fails to win the Premier League this season, Tottenham will be the biggest bastard.

Why did I rush in without thinking?

I was still too young. I still couldn't escape the utilitarianism, and the Premier League championship made me dizzy. Seeing that I was at the top of the list and facing Ferguson's dominance, I felt guilty. Keegan was probably the same as me now. Keep calm, keep calm, there are still eleven rounds of the league.

It's not certain who will win.
