On July 17th, a storm broke off - Blackburn's official website suddenly announced that former coach Lippi, who had just led the Italian team to win the World Cup, officially took over the coaching whip of Blackburn!

Less than half an hour after the official announcement was published on Blackburn's official website, it was frantically reposted by major media outlets in Europe and around the world - just after the World Cup, Lippi's heat was still at a very boiling height. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Due to the good work of secrecy between Blackburn and Lippi's team before signing the contract, the news caused a huge shock wave in European football!

And then part of the contract signed by the two sides was announced, which caused madness in European football - Lippi's annual salary of 10 million euros a year has also become the highest peak among football managers so far!

Of course, the 10 million euros is not only Lippi's annual salary, but also his huge coaching team - all of whom have just led Italy to the top of the World Cup!

Lippi's official meeting with the media will take place on the afternoon of July 21, with journalists from around the world flocking to London, and excited fans in Blackburn and England already singing the praises of Arthur's decision.

'While Jose Mourinho's departure is certainly a loss for us, look at who Arthur has brought us? There's no doubt that Lippi is definitely a very good successor and I can't wait to see Blackburn continue their mythical era of invincibility......"

"Look at Italy's performance under Lippi this summer, they can still win the title even in the shadow of 'Phonegate', and I believe Blackburn Rovers will still be the favourites for all the titles this season......

"The only thing that upsets me is why Blackburn only signed a three-year contract with Lippi? Like Mourinho's previous contract, it was signed for five years. I think a coach like Lippi should keep him in the Three Lions forever......"

However, there are two faces to everything, there must be praise and worry, just like the keyboard warriors on the Internet, there is nothing they can't criticize.

"I'm not so optimistic about Lippi's prospects at Blackburn Rovers, after all, he's only managed Italian clubs before, and how many of the trophies he won at Juventus were due to 'phonegate'?"

"As far as I know, Lippi's English seems to be very average, and I don't think he can form a good communication with the players at the club like Jose Mourinho, who is fluent in seven or eight foreign languages......

"When Lippi arrives at Blackburn, will he overhaul the team? After all, the lineup and tactics of this team have been firmly marked by Mourinho, and if Lippi makes a big move, it will definitely be detrimental to the team's record......"

Once a son of heaven and a courtier, Blake is about to enter the track of Lippi's coaching, which lucky guys can get Lippi's favor?

All eyes were on the press conference on July 21, and everyone wondered what Lippi was going to do with Blackburn!

Blackburn Rovers Club's newly built headquarters building!

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the eyes of the entire British Isles and even the whole European football world were focused here, and Lippi's induction ceremony was about to begin!

When Arthur accompanied Lippi into the press conference hall, the reporters, who had long been standing on the verge of cramping their legs, suddenly picked up the cameras in their hands and flashed wildly as if they had taken King Kong Pills, and the crackling magnesium lights flashed like a never-ending storm, and soon became an unknown passionate symphony.

"It's crazy." Rao is Arthur is used to seeing big scenes, and he is also dangling by the flash lights of the scene.

What makes these reporters so crazy, in addition to the joint presence of Arthur and Lippi, is also the reason for the uproar with a player next to the two.

This player has been arguably one of the most spectacular players in world football in the past month, as he was the first to lift the Hercules Cup for Italy ten days ago!

Yes, his name is Fabio Cannavaro!

When Lippi first met Arthur, he made it clear that he would bring a direct player to Blackburn, and Cannavaro was the one who decided to bring in a new team.

Cannavaro's old club is Juventus, who has just been relegated to the Italian second division because of the "phonegate" incident, and Cannavaro, who was about to leave the team, got a generous contract from Blackburn after receiving a sincere invitation from Lippi, and quickly agreed to the old coach's invitation.

Arthur secured the Italian captain's arrival with a £10 million transfer fee before Real Madrid made a formal offer for Cannavaro before the World Cup began.

Although Arthur knew that Cannavaro would definitely be a big hole in the backline in the future, it was for the sake of Rimpi's heart, and on the other hand, it was also to continue to increase Blackburn's influence - Arthur clearly remembered that Cannavaro had won the 2006 European Ballon d'Or and the World Footballer of the Year in his previous life.

With Cannavaro, Blackburn would have set an astonishing record: a club has had players named Mr. Ballon d'Or three years in a row, and all of them are different players.

This record, Arthur thinks, can definitely be said to be a "miracle" that has never been seen before or since!

At the next press conference, the scene went straight to the top!

Although Lippi was known to be at the helm of Blackburn, Arthur followed the press conference process strictly - starting with a formal introduction to the theme: "It's very difficult to find a manager who can continue to lead Blackburn Rovers forward, but luckily we have found a manager we can trust, and my colleagues at the club and I agree that Mr. Lippi is the right person to be......

Speaking of this, Arthur also pointed out the window, the cheers of the Blackburn fans on the ground floor of the building could be heard clearly, and Lang smiled: "And it seems that our fans are also very happy with this signing." ”

The reporters laughed out loud, as Arthur, who was young, handsome, and wealthy, had become one of the most recognizable team presidents in Europe, and the most charismatic - not one of them this time.

After Arthur's introduction, it was Lippi's turn to announce the outline of his "Outline of Governance".

Silver Fox sat forward and moved the microphone to his lips, not in Italian, but in more standard English: "I feel very honored to be the head coach of Blackburn......

“…… Although I haven't coached Blackburn Rovers before, the rules of football are the same on any field, and I have a lot of confidence in it...... "Lippi finished and moved the microphone to the side, waiting for the reporter to ask questions!

After Lippi finished speaking, Arthur continued: "Next, you can ask questions......

The reporter of the newspaper asked a question that everyone wanted to know: "Mr. Lippi, why did you only sign Blackburn Rovers on a three-year contract, when many people thought you could have been at the helm of Blackburn for a little longer......"

"The reason is simple, the duration of the contract does not make sense for either of us...... If I can't win the title after three seasons as I promised, do you think Mr. Arthur will keep me at Blackburn? Of course, such a time frame is also fair to me, after all, I am not young, I will be 61 years old in three years, and it is time to rest......"

Lippi's explanation was obviously perfunctory, but the humorous answer made everyone, including Arthur, laugh.

The "Sun" reporter squatted at the front with the microphone and asked Arthur with a geographical advantage: "Chairman Walker, Blackburn won the Premier League and FA Cup last season, and won an astonishing six crowns in 2005, so what kind of results do you think Mr. Lippi will get in the new season, and you can be considered satisfied?" ”

Arthur leaned back in his chair, changed into a comfortable position, and replied without delay: "I didn't ask for it!" ”

"What kind of situation do you mean that you can accept?" The Sun reporter asked.

"I'm sure Marcello will be able to give me a satisfactory result in three years and I won't put too much pressure on him in the first year." Arthur explained.

After asking Arthur and Lippi a few cliché questions, a reporter finally gave the question to Cannavaro, the poor captain of Italy, whose presence was infinitely diminished in the light of Arthur and Lippi.

Regarding Cannavaro's move to Blackburn, this is something that the vast majority of journalists did not anticipate before.

"Chairman Walker has a heart that loves Blackburn, and it contains his desire for Blackburn's glory, and he is an ambitious gentleman who is willing to sacrifice himself for Blackburn's honor......" Cannavaro has a very high emotional intelligence, first complimenting Arthur and then Lippi.

"Marcello is an amazing fellow and I was struck by his plan and I was suddenly drawn to it when I saw the prospect he had sketched for Blackburn......"

Next, the reporter of "The Times" asked the question that all reporters and fans are most concerned about: "Mr. Lippi, I see that Cannavaro has also joined Blackburn Rovers this summer, will you make a big change to the Blackburn Rovers squad for the new season?" ”

After this question was asked, the noisy press conference hall quickly calmed down, and it was clear that this question attracted the attention of all journalists!

"Adjustment is a must...... Lippi bluntly said: "In the coming period I will focus on the work of the players and everyone will have a chance. When it comes to transfers, if there is a more suitable candidate, we will not turn it down. ”

What is this?

Fair competition, can the capable get on the job?

Is a son of heaven a courtier?

Lippi's answer was a bombshell dropped on Blackburn's interior! (To be continued.) )
