After breaking up with Emic, George felt a little melancholy, but not much sadness. I feel that when the relationship between the two began, it was a matter of course. And the breakup was a premonition, and both of them knew it.

And the start of the Premier League is getting closer and closer. George doesn't have much to think about either, and the Premier League is the fastest start in all European leagues except Ligue 1. On August 14th, the Premier League will start.

George's mind is now on the upcoming Premier League.

The Premier League, this is the league that George has always wanted. When Burnley was in charge, the most attractive target for Burnley coaches and players was the Premier League. They did everything they could to have a chance of promotion to the Premier League.

For George, the Premier League is also a league that is extremely desirable. It's only when you're in a top-flight league like the Premier League that people really recognise your quality.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is already the 11th of August.

Today, Blackburn Rovers held their last press conference before the league kick-off. This was not a press conference from the club's hierarchy, but George's first press conference as Blackburn head coach.

George's identity is completely different now, and Blackburn's weight is far from Burnley's. So even though it was just a small press conference, the number of reporters who came to this press conference was definitely the largest since George became a coach.

However, although there are a lot of reporters, there are not many who have a good impression of George. Their questions are all very acute.

"Coach Levy, what do you think of Blackburn's relegation situation this season."

George squinted at the reporter, and now all the media is talking about how serious Blackburn's relegation situation is this season. In their opinion, Blackburn has been terminally ill in recent years, and after George became Blackburn, he did not stabilize the morale of the army, but carried out a major purge.

In the eyes of the media, George is just too nonsense. George certainly knows that the Premier League is not League One, let alone League Two. There's more pressure and more competitiveness here. But George thinks more, George thinks more than just a year or two, George wants to think about the continued development of the team.

"Who said our club's goal this year is to avoid relegation?" George asked the reporter with a playful smile.

Although I thought that George was not good at speaking, such a rhetorical question made the reporter stunned. Blackburn Rovers turned out to be a relegation team, don't look at Blackburn Rovers won the Premier League three years ago, but now they are a real relegation team.

This reporter was just a little stunned, after all, he was experienced. So he immediately asked George: "Does Coach Levy think Blackburn can still compete for the championship?" ”

"Why can't Blackburn be a champion?" George smiled slightly, although he knew that it would be very difficult for Blackburn to become a champion in a year or two. But George was reluctant to lose momentum. "I didn't join Blackburn to avoid relegation, I don't care what Blackburn was like before me. I took over Blackburn Rovers to make them a big force in the Premier League. ”

"Alright, next."

Blackburn has declined over the years, and it won't be until Jack Walker re-emerges. However, Blackburn Rovers were a real powerhouse in the early stages of the English league, winning the English top flight twice and the FA Cup six times in the early English league.

The reporter wanted to ask again, but was interrupted by George and sat down indignantly.

'Coach Levy, Klose has scored very few goals in League One and Deco is a player in Portugal's second tier. I don't know why both of them were able to join Blackburn Rover, and they both made more than five thousand pounds a week. This is what we all very much wonder. "This reporter's question is very poignant, in fact, it was already raised by Blackburn when the transfer list was announced.

Of course, it's not just Klose and Deco who are in the picture, but also Gudjohnsen and Garra are all in the range of questions.

'I choose a player and I never look at his background. It doesn't matter what club he's played at before, I'll buy a player who fits my team. Heroes don't ask where they come from, when I found Ballack, he was also a player in the German amateur league. ”

As soon as George's words fell, the reporter continued to ask George with a smile on his face.

"We've heard that Klose and Deco are both players under your cousin Alan Levy, and Coach Levy doesn't know if that's true." Although he asked George with a smile, the question was definitely quite malicious.

George, who was still kind just now, suddenly collapsed. A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth. "They're indeed Allen's agency players, do you want to ask me if I'm making some money in between?"

"Even if I'm profiting from it, it's making money from the club. The club doesn't care, what's your business! George suddenly raised his voice and asked the reporter with a sneer. Next. ”

George's answer completely stunned many reporters below. Although George has a great reputation in English football, the former George was only the head coach of the League One club after all. So the reporters who interviewed George were all newcomers, but now these reporters are all reporters who have been covering the Premier League.

Although they had heard of George's reputation, many of them had not interviewed George face-to-face. Today was the first time I really played George.

But I really didn't expect George to be so arrogant, he didn't care about the reporter's face at all, and directly said, "What's the matter with you!" ”。 Even many famous coaches in world football would not offend reporters so much, George really deserves to be a coach with a surname.

The reporter who asked George a question was even more stunned on the spot. He is not a journalist, but he has been immersed in the Premier League for many years. I interviewed a lot of coaches and players, and there were many coaches and players with quirky surnames. But there had never been a person who had prevented him from getting off the stage in such a face-to-face, and his face was flushed, and he didn't know what to do.

Steven Yellen watched George sit there and talk at each other, and he didn't know how to feel a pang of joy in his heart. This is how he was ridiculed by George back then, so that he couldn't get off the stage. Of course, there are also some awkwardness, the two opponents of the year now have to stand in the united front.

Blackburn Rovers have a strong presence in Blackburn, and not least because it's Blackburn's only football club. It is also because there are countless related industries that have arisen around Blackburn Rovers. Blackburn don't know how many people live on Blackburn Rovers.

Most of the coverage of the Blackburn Evening News also revolves around the club, after all, such a local tabloid does not have the strength to report the big news of the country's livelihood.

As a reporter for the Blackburn Evening News, Steven Yellen can only maintain the same stance as the club. This is not subject to Yellen's will, he can only stand on the same front as the club. So I was a little nervous watching the press conference, so I stood up.

"Coach Levy, what are your prospects for the new season?"

This is almost a nonsense, and it's such a press conference, this kind of question is almost a question before the final end.

George nodded at Yellen imperceptibly, knowing what Yellen meant. The journalist who used to be the most satirized by George is now ....... But George still stood up with a straight face.

"Try to win the games you can." After just taking two steps, George turned around and smiled and said to the reporter who asked the first question earlier. "Anyway, the goal of this season is definitely not just about relegation."

…………

Not to mention that because George ridiculed those uncrowned kings so much at the press conference, they simply gritted their teeth.

George, who was not liked by those reporters, was bombarded by major media in England the next day. If they were still secretive before, then at this time, their evaluation of George was completely naked.

"Klose? What qualifies a striker who has scored less than ten goals in fifty games in League One qualifies for a Premier League club? How can I get a weekly salary of £5,000? Is it because George Levy likes him? When George was in charge of Burnley, there were already many people who were very puzzled by George's reuse of Klose, but they didn't expect that George would still take Klose with Blackburn. ”

"Anderson Deco? A player who is not valued by Benfica, a player who plays in the Portuguese second division. Entering Blake can get a weekly salary of 6,000 pounds, why? ”

Klose and Deco are both players who are affiliated with the Meiyi agency, which is now headed by Alan Levy. He is George's cousin, and George also has his own stake in this company. ”

"This situation has to give us more ideas about the transfer of these two."

This statement has formed a mainstream opinion among the major media outlets, and they all feel that these two transfers have a lot of trouble.

In addition to doubting the transfer, the media is more about Blackburn's prospects.

"To be honest, I'm not optimistic about Blackburn's prospects this season. Blackburn Rovers sold their best player, Chris Sutton. Including a lot of main players, but not adding players of the same strength. ”

"After Shearer's transfer, Blackburn didn't find a real replacement for Shearer, which ultimately led to the collapse of the team in recent years."

"Blackburn were able to avoid relegation last year thanks to Sutton's excellent performance. Blackburn this year, who can save? ”
