315 Revenge?
"Blackburn is a liar. They are complete liars. ”
Emre has not been able to forgive Blackburn until now. At that time, Blackburn and Emre had already negotiated about personal terms. As soon as the League Cup final was over, Blackburn directly pushed the transfer.
It's not just the Galatasaray club that annoys a lot. The parties were even more annoyed.
After finishing runners-up in the UEFA Cup last season, many of Galatasaray's players have already left Galatasaray. Galatasaray's biggest player, Hakan, who almost joined Blackburn. Suker, who moved to Inter Milan last summer.
Half a season later, Emre is still haunted by what happened at that time.
So when he was about to face Blackburn, his temper was still much bigger.
"I'm going to show Blackburn Rovers that I have what it takes to beat them. And I'm never going to play to a team like Blackburn Rovers without credibility in my life. ”
For George's words that Emre was not strong enough, it made Emre even more angry.
Even Trim, who is currently coaching at Fiorentina, came out and expressed his opinion on the game.
"Coach Levy is the most hypocritical coach and the most unsportsmanlike coach. He used the most shameless method to steal the League Cup championship that belonged to us from us! ”
Trim is the "emperor" of Turkish football. And I also have a deep self-confidence.
But this guy is also a big mouth. The consequences are rarely considered. At present, he has a bad relationship with the boss of Florence. There were even two people facing the players in the locker room, almost a real fight. Trim isn't far from class either.
He has always been obsessed with last season's UEFA Cup triumph.
It is believed that Blackburn used improper means to interfere with Galatasaray's preparations. This led to Galatasaray's loss to Blackburn.
Now at Inter Milan is having a very difficult time in Hakan. Suke also stepped forward.
"Blackburn was very sincere in talking to me, and we even negotiated personal terms between us. But after the UEFA Cup final, they stopped the negotiations with me for no reason. ”
"I agree with the coach. They are playing tricks on me and using such despicable means to interfere with our club's preparations. I think Blackburn Rovers are one of the clubs with the least work ethic. ”
Galatasaray officials, players, and fans all believe that Blackburn stole their title.
In fact, the impact of last season's UEFA Cup final was definitely not small.
The Telegraph commented last summer on some tactics to disrupt opponents before the World Football Championship. Last season's UEFA Cup final ranked first. The evaluation at the time was like this.
"Actually, we don't know if we want to put this thing here."
"If you say before the game and Hakan. The matter of Suker and Emre contacting was planned by George. Then George is like he himself said that he became God. Since it was January, could George have predicted that half a season later, he would know that Galatasaray would meet in the final? ”
But if not, then how to explain that Blackburn will immediately terminate negotiations with the player after the UEFA Cup final. As long as insiders know, a club's transfer of players is definitely not casual. When you buy any player, you have to look at it for a long time. Negotiations with players will never be terminated because of a game. Not to mention the fact that both players terminated the negotiations at the same time. I can't make sense of that. ”
"Of course, if it's just a coincidence, then it's also interesting. Even if it wasn't Blackburn's intention, it was already a serious interference with Galatasaray's preparations. ”
"Because of this, we really can't judge. If it really was George who did it on purpose, then it was a shocking scam. If it's not intentional, it's also a mistake. ”
Although no one can still say for sure, what happened at that time was intentional or unintentional.
But Galatasaray, for their part, was not satisfied.
They are always clamoring for revenge. In their opinion, if they face each other, Galatasaray will definitely not be beaten by Blackburn without fighting back.
This time Blackburn Rovers are in Istanbul and everyone in Galatasaray will be hoping to get revenge on last season's UEFA Cup final.
However, when George arrived in Istanbul for an interview, he was dismissive of those pre-match comments: "Emre, I did think about bringing him in. But Emre is not strong enough, I have John, I don't need Emre. Even Alexander. Hleb, also better than Emre. My club only needs good players, Emre is not good enough. ”
George didn't give Emre face at all.
Mom's. Last season, because George fell in love with Emre, I don't know how much Emre's value was raised. Although the name Emre is a bit well-known in Turkey, it is average in European football.
But with George's praise by name, Emre immediately became a favorite in European football. This kid isn't grateful to me either.
'As for Coach Trim, he lost the game and was angry, which is understandable. But blaming others with such an ungraceful indiscriminate will only make it seem that he can't afford to lose. The UEFA Cup is not in Galatasaray's pocket, does Coach Trim really think that the second-place team in the Premier League can't win against a Turkish club? ”
George responded almost by name to those who criticized him.
"Galatasaray, the strength is not as good as our Blackburn. I really don't understand why some people are so thick-skinned and swear that the UEFA Cup championship is their own. ”
George doesn't even pay attention to giants like Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool in England. Not to mention just a tiny Turkish Galatasaray. It was only after the addiction that George began to talk about the game.
But there's nothing important about that.
Don't look at the way George doesn't care about Galatasaray. In fact, if given the choice, George would definitely not want to play Galatasaray away.
George never wanted to play in Turkey in his life. Istanbul in Turkey is the famous home of the devil in European football.
There are three stadiums in Istanbul that are known in Europe for their terrifying atmosphere: Ali in Galatasaray. Samiyan Stadium, Fenerbahce's Sukuru. Saracoglu Stadium and Inonu Stadium, home of Besiktas.
This time Blackburn came to the place where Ali of Galatasaray came. Samyan Stadium.
George is coming to Turkey for the first time to compete. But the atmosphere here is famous.
Many of the opponents who have been here are reluctant to set foot in Istanbul again. Because the frenetic atmosphere and the suffocating atmosphere impressed all the away players who have played here.
Before entering the stadium, George had already tasted the frenzy of Turkish fans.
Facing the bus in which the Blackburn players were traveling, thousands of Turkish fans did not enter the stadium to take their seats. Instead, he was in front of the bus in front of the Blackburn players, not knowing what he was cursing. Anyway, they all raised their middle fingers and shouted insults at George and Blackburn Rovers.
Of course, many people speak Turkish, and George doesn't understand it. But the world's most common swearing, George could understand.
George looked at the fans outside the bus very leisurely, and George was not afraid of those fans rushing out.
Because the bus that Blackburn was riding in was already surrounded by Turkish police. Last season, the Turkish fan stabbed two Leeds United fans to death and caused a lot of trouble. The Turkish political axe has been put under a lot of pressure.
This time, it was Galatasaray's sworn enemy who came to Istanbul, so the police in Istanbul were like a big enemy. If that kind of fan death happens again, then maybe UEFA will really have to ban Galatasaray's home stadium.
The bus was escorted by a police car. Finally arrived at the venue Ali. Samyan Stadium.
As soon as they entered the stadium, all the Blackburn fans felt the deafening boos and frenzied hostility in the stadium.
With a capacity of no more than 25,000 people, the stadium is even smaller than Ewood Park. Speaking of which, Blackburn fans are also very fanatical. But the Galatasaray fans have created a momentum that is fully capable of matching the momentum of 70,000 fans at Old Trafford.
Not yet on the pitch, but just in the dressing room, everyone is already feeling the shock.
George sighed loudly, no wonder this place is known as the home of the devil. These Turkish fans are just amazing.
Hell? Really hell?
"Do you want to break through to the last eight in the group stage, or do you want to leave the Champions League and focus on the league?" George listened to the shouts of the Turkish fans and stood in the dressing room and shouted at his players.
Blanco, who didn't talk much, but had a lot of influence in the team, was the first to shake his head.
'Why should we give up the Champions League. Even if we make it to the quarter-finals, we can still win the league. "Blanco was very confident.
"Yes, head. Why should we give up the Champions League. ”
Listening to the players, George was satisfied.
"Then I'll tell you. There's only one way to get into the Champions League. It's about beating the opponent in front of us, as long as we beat Galatasaray, then we will win this group stage. As long as the two games against Galatasaray are played well, then we can easily play in the league. ”
In the half-month without Premier League fixtures, Blake had to meet Galatasaray twice. As long as you win these two games, there is basically no problem with appearing. When the time comes, you can easily play the league.
Blackburn Rovers are in this group stage and their only opponent is Galatasaray. As long as they win against Galatasaray, they will be able to join hands with Bayern to qualify.
"Galatasaray fans call this hell, so let's see if it's hell!"
