After just one day of rest in Monaco, Blackburn will face Real Madrid.

The Stadium Louis II is a small court. It can only accommodate more than 18,000 people, less than 20,000.

The stadium is too small for the world's number one giant, Real Madrid, a popular club, and for England fans who are known for their fanatical fanatics. Because Real Madrid and Blackburn, any club, if there are enough tickets, can fill the Louis II stadium.

But the stadium, which is now less than 20,000 people, needs to be divided between the fans of the two clubs.

It's not easy.

Don't look at the UEFA Super Cup, which is not a very important cup competition. But he is a true European champion no matter how he says it. That is, the king of kings in the European Cup. And it was also the first European championship after the new season.

So even Real Madrid fans don't ignore it.

Of course, Real Madrid fans seem to have won this game safely. Blackburn? Where did this country team come from?

By the time George led Blackburn to the Louis II Stadium, it was already crowded. The small stadium has been completely occupied by fans on both sides. And the fans on both sides are clearly divided.

Blackburn Rovers fans mostly wear blue and white jerseys, while Real Madrid fans are more likely to wear pure white jerseys. Therefore, the blue and white squares are clear at a glance.

However, UEFA is fair, not because Real Madrid is more famous than Blackburn. Just give Real Madrid more tickets, and the fans of both teams get almost the same tickets. Before the start of the game, the fans of both sides had already begun to fight.

It's just that Real Madrid fans have always prided themselves as aristocrats, and many of them disdain to deal with country fans like Blackburn. Therefore, in the momentum, Real Madrid fans simply cannot match Blackburn fans.

"Coach Bosque."

George came out earlier than Real Madrid this time. I waited on the sidelines for the Real Madrid manager and waited until Bosque came out and shook his hand.

"Hello, Coach Levy."

Bosque was like a very kind old man. He smiled kindly at George.

The two just shook hands politely, and then returned to their seats. However, George felt very sorry for Bosque as a great coach.

Bosque has previously had two previous experiences as a firefighting coach at Real Madrid.

In 1994, Real Madrid sacked manager Sanz. At that time, Bosque was in charge of 11 games as a firefighter until Baldano took over. Two years later, Iglesias was fired by the higher-ups, and Bosque was the firefighter he chose. It's just that this time he only played 1 5-0 victory before hanging the championship again.

This time, he came to put out the fire again, replacing Toshak, who had bad grades. Everyone thinks that this time it was just an agent. But what he didn't expect was that Bosque miraculously led Real Madrid to the Champions League. He also secured the position of Real Madrid coach.

Since Bosque became Real Madrid manager, Real Madrid have been doing very well.

But in '03, Bosque would have been fired by Florentino. The reason is very ridiculous, saying that Bosque's appearance does not match the temperament of Real Madrid (I still don't know if this is true, anyway, the rumors are like this. ）。 This is a naked insult to say. However, after Bosque left Real Madrid, he did not say anything bad about Real Madrid at all.

And although there are many clubs who want to invite Bosque, Bosque has not agreed. In the end, it turned out to be an unexpected coach of the Turkish club, and it was only half a year before the class was dismissed. If he hadn't become the head coach of Spain and led the Spanish team to win the World Cup, everyone would have almost forgotten about the meritorious coach of Real Madrid.

Of course, Bosque's greatest ability is to be able to balance the dressing room of Real Madrid.

Real Madrid's historical tradition is of great presidents and great players. And Florentino's dream is to become the president of Real Madrid, who is as great as the Bernabeu. Therefore, his biggest move since taking office has been to bring in the best players in the world, so the Real Madrid dressing room has become the most difficult place to control.

But Bosque was able to use his personal charm to perfectly control the Real Madrid dressing room. All those Real Madrid stars will be convinced by Bosque. Including Raul, Figo, Zidane, Ronaldo, no one spoke ill of Bosque.

Since Bosque left Real Madrid, it was not until Mourinho took charge of Real Madrid that there was once again a manager who could control the Real Madrid dressing room. Of course, Mourinho's ability to control the Real Madrid dressing room has to do with Florentino's full support behind him. On the contrary, Bosque completely relied on his own charm to control a group of players under him.

George shook his head. When Florentino fired Bosque, he certainly didn't think about it, and Real Madrid's Galaxy battleship was completely disintegrated. After Bosque, Real Madrid changed seven managers before Capello won a league title.

I don't know if Florentino, a predator, regretted firing Bosque later.

These are just a fleeting memories of George after seeing Bosque. George didn't have time to think about these questions, though, because the game was about to begin.

………… Sagnol, who is Blackburn's captain, stepped forward to throw a coin and decided to kick off first.

However, both sides have consciously won a half, and this is just a formality. After throwing the coin, Sagnol shook hands with several referees, as well as with Real Madrid captain Hierro.

The same captain, in front of Hierro, Sagnol could only look with adoring eyes.

Don't talk about Sagnol, even Blanco's brilliant results in the national team. But in the club, who can compare to Hierro's results. Hierro was brilliant. From the initial centre-forward to the midfielder to the defender, Hierro has released his all-round development.

In the midfield position, Hierro became the team's attacking and defensive commander, and in this position he actually scored 21 goals in the 91/92 season, becoming the second highest scorer in La Liga that year. After Baldano took charge of Real Madrid, with the maturity of newcomers such as Raul and Guti, Hierro officially retreated to the back line. In the centre-back position, he remains the most insurmountable barrier in La Liga, and such a well-rounded player is extremely rare in the entire history of football.

Seeing Sagnol looking at him, Hierro nodded at Sagnol in great friendliness.

But if it weren't for this UEFA Super Cup, Hierro wouldn't know the person in front of him. It was because of the UEFA Super Cup that Bosque's pre-match presentation gave them a glimpse of some of the players in Blackburn's team.

"Toot-"

With the referee's whistle, the 2000 UEFA Super Cup officially kicked off.

"Hello everyone, it's the UEFA Super Cup 2000. I'm at the Stade Louis II in Monaco and I'm broadcasting it live to everyone. The two teams competing for the UEFA Super Cup are Real Madrid from Spain and Blackburn Rovers from England. I'm Martin. Taylor. Next to me is my old partner Andy. Gray. ”

Martin. Taylor's familiar voice appeared in the ears of the majority of fans.

Real Madrid fans pay some attention to this European Super Cup, but Real Madrid and the Spanish media do not pay much attention to this European Super Cup. Because the UEFA Super Cup is more like a friendly and Blackburn Rovers are too poor in their opinion.

But on the other hand, the English media is more serious.

Blackburn Rovers have been the most watched team in the Premier League in recent seasons. And George is England's most talked-about homegrown coach. In addition, the other party is Real Madrid, the world's giant Real Madrid. So the game is more watched.

Many England fans, including non-Blackburn Rovers, are also following the game.

"Now I'm going to give you an introduction to the starting lineups of both teams."

"Bosque didn't take it lightly just because his opponent was Blackburn. The goalkeeper is the young talent Casillas, and the defender from left to right is Robert. Carlos, Karanka, Hierro, Salgado, McManaman on the left side of the midfield, Figo on the right side, Elguerra at the back, Guti at the front, Raul and Morientes at the front. ”

"Look at Blackburn again. George's arrangement is also decent. The goalkeeper is Cudicini and the back line from left to right is John. Reese, Blanco, Ferdinand, Sagnol, Pire, Deco, Miku, Makelele, Duff in the midfield from left to right, and Klose as the lone striker. ”

"In terms of strength, Real Madrid certainly has the advantage. And Real Madrid has been in good form recently, winning consecutive games in the warm-up matches. Newly bought Figo and integrated into the team quickly. The form is also very good. ”

"Blackburn Rovers are in great form. In both Premier League games, they have won all of them. Blackburn Rovers currently sit top of the Premier League table. ”

Martin. Taylor gives you an update on Real Madrid and Blackburn.

As soon as the game began, Real Madrid was in full swing. There were only two players in the middle of the midfield, but they were fierce. Blackburn was not taken seriously at all.

All of Real Madrid's attacks revolve around Guti in midfield.

Guti is a ghost, and as long as he behaves normally, then you can never know how Guti will pass the ball. Guti has good dribbling skills and is 1.85 meters tall and he also has header skills. But Guti's greatest thing is his unpredictable pass.

Guti's threatening passing is even better than Zidane and Miku.

Guti's passing is always in places that others can't imagine. He's a real genius.

However, Guti's strange surname has made him never trusted by Real Madrid's previous managers. Baldano, Capello, Heynckes, and Hiddink did not include Guti in the main lineup, but they were reluctant to sell a talent like Guti.

It wasn't until Bosque became Real Madrid manager that he began to reuse Guti.

Guti also repaid Bosque, who is getting better and better at Real Madrid and playing a better and better role. Deco is also a seasoned player in the Premier League and has seen a wide variety of attacking players. But in the face of Guti today, he was dizzy.

Because Guti's passing, passing, there is really no routine. It's all improvisation.
