Grand Slam, real Grand Slam.

George has already won everything he can at the club. George has won the league title, the FA Cup, the League Cup, the Community Shield and all four titles. Among them, he has won two league titles and two League Cups.

Of course, the FA Cup was won by George when he was at Burnley, that is, almost five years ago.

In addition to the domestic championships in England, it also includes the UEFA Cup, Champions Cup, UEFA Super Cup, and Toyota Cup. Of course, if the Cup Winners' Cup is not merged into the League Cup, then it is possible that George will miss out on the Cup Winners' Cup for the rest of his life.

But it was because of the merger of the Cup Winners' Cup and the League Cup, and that George's League Cup title was the first of the two cup competitions.

That's why George is a real Grand Slam manager.

As the game ended, even Blanco and Karl, who were next to him, came up to congratulate George.

The head coach of the Grand Slam, it sounds very comfortable.

George was complacent.

At the age of thirty-four, many coaches are just starting their coaching careers. But George has already achieved everything a club manager can achieve.

After the game, George was very popular.

The Toyota Cup is nothing? No matter how you do, you can't compare to the Champions League and Premier League titles. But it was this last crown that was very important to George. Because this is the last championship that can fill the void of George's honor.

With the Toyota Cup victory, George became one of the few Grand Slam managers in European football.

Of course, more importantly, George is still young. Now in his eighth season in charge of the club, he has already won so many accolades.

Therefore, after the game, the European football media paid the most attention to only two things.

The first thing is that the European teams finally surpassed the South American teams in the Toyota Cup, surpassing the South American teams by 12 titles.

In recent years, European football and South American football have been secretly competing, and there is even a wrestling between UEFA and FIFA. Now European football, with its strong financial ability, has completely overwhelmed South American football.

So a lot of European media are very happy.

The second thing is George's Grand Slam.

In European football, the manager of a Grand Slam can count on a few fingers. And there are even fewer who are still in the head coach position. Let's talk about Bosque, who left Real Madrid, he has not won a Grand Slam at Real Madrid.

There is also English football, in addition to Ferguson, including Arsene Wenger, Graham, Dalglish, Bobby. Robson, Kevin. Keegan, which of these famous coaches is a Grand Slam. Not a single one.

Even Capello, who was once the manager of the Milan dynasty, is not a Grand Slam. He lacks the title of the domestic cup and the title of the Toyota Cup.

Think about it, even famous coaches of Capello, Wenger, Dalglish, Robson, and Bosque have not been able to win a Grand Slam, so you know the difficulty of a Grand Slam. And George became the head coach of the world football Grand Slam at the age of thirty-four, how can he not be shocked.

As a result, the Toyota Cup race itself was completely ignored by the media.

The media is covering both of these events. Among them, George, as the head coach of the Grand Slam, has received the most media coverage. All the media are praising the emergence of such a young Grand Slam manager in European football.

George read the newspapers on the plane.

Because George didn't have time to delay in Ben, he was about to leave for the Netherlands.

The second match of the second group stage of the Champions League is about to begin. Blackburn are looking to take on Ajax on the road.

Ajax's history is beyond mention. Just look at their four Big Ear Cups to know what Ajax's status is in European football.

And it has swept the world, and countless coaches have studied and carried forward the all-offensive and all-defensive tactics that started with Ajax. In the history of Ajax, there are many superstars. Their names, like bright stars, shine on the world of football.

The last time Ajax shined was when they beat Milan to win the Champions League.

At that time, Ajax's talents gathered, but the damn Boseman Act made Ajax have to watch their players leave one by one. But it didn't take long for Ajax to adjust the development of the team, and now Ajax is once again full of talent.

Now Ajax's players, if they are put in the future, are all players who can shock the European football world.

Pienaar, South Africa international. He is the core of South Africa's midfield.

Trabelsi, Tunisia's biggest football star. He is also the only Tunisian player to have made it to the European Footballer of the Year 50 list.

De Jong, later the main midfielder of the Dutch team and the main midfielder of Manchester City. The butcher in midfield is just getting his start at Ajax.

Zivo, Roma's main left-back, Inter's main left-back during the treble, and another world-class star in Romania.

Van der Meyde, the stars shine brighter than Ibrahimovic and Sneijder at this time. At Ajax, only Van der Vaart can match him.

Ibrahimovic, this goes without saying. Experienced Juventus, Inter. The main striker of many giants of Barcelona and Milan. Gotta Ibrahimovic, gotta league.

Van der Vaart, captain of Ajax. He is one of the four little kings of the Netherlands, and he is also a very talented player. Although the achievements in the future are not as expected, they are definitely not due to strength. It's because of a lack of luck.

Sneijder, the core midfielder of Inter's treble winners and the core midfielder of the World Cup runner-up. He was also one of the most popular players of the Year Footballer back then. Although he did not win the Footballer of the Year in the end, the Footballer of the Year selection was considered by many to be the most controversial year by many people.

Huntelaar, the future Bundesliga Golden Boot. At Schalke, Gomez, who beat Bayern Munich, won the top scorer in the Bundesliga.

If you hear the names of these players, don't you freak out.

You won't be surprised, you won't be timid. Even George would be surprised if he listened to the names and that they were in a club. If it was two or three years from now, George might be worried. It's a pity that it's 2002 after all, and these people are just a little bit.

Now this Ajax team, the most famous are Van der Meyde, Van der Vaart, and Ibrahimovic.

………… On December 12, 2002, Blackburn's bus arrived at the Amsterdam Stadium.

Amsterdam is one of the best and most luxurious courses in Europe, and you won't find a better stadium in England than Amsterdam. There are definitely no more than ten stadiums in the whole of Europe that can rival the Amsterdam Stadium.

It's luxurious and beautiful.

The stadium was built in 1993 at a cost of more than 140 million. The 68,000-seat stadium was filled with a 68,000-seat stadium, and when George entered the stadium with his team, he found that there were few empty spaces.

George was surprised. It turns out that the Eredivisie team, the enthusiasm of the fans is also so high.

In fact, what George didn't know was that the number of fans in the Eredivisie at Ajax was only about 50,000. That is, there will be nearly 20,000 empty seats for each game.

This time there was an exception, not because of how important the game was. It's because Ajax's opponent is Blackburn.

Ajax face the reigning Champions League champions this time. Ajax fans don't like Blackburn, or hate Blackburn. Ajax is a European giant, a real European giant. But the damned Boseman Act destroyed the entire basis of the Eredivisie's survival.

It is precisely because of this that an upstart like Blackburn Rovers won the Champions League.

Therefore, Ajax fans are very unhappy to watch Blackburn.

Now I've finally run into Blackburn. And in recent years, Ajax has shown signs of a resurgence due to the emergence of talented players. Since the departure of the last Champions League-winning talent, Ajax has finally seen another group of talented players grow.

So they hope that Ajax's victory over Blackburn Rovers will teach the nouveau riche a lesson.

So there were a lot of fans here today. It turned out to be a full stadium of nearly 70,000 people.

George wasn't a big fan of formal wear on the court. But Koeman was clearly different from George, he wore a very sleek and red tie. When George came out, he shook hands with George very politely.

George is no stranger to Koeman.

This is the best defender in European football in the first decade. Not only did he win the Champions League in Eindhoven, but he was also the core figure of the Barcelona Dream Team that year. He was one of the most prominent players in the Netherlands.

Koeman is a very famous superstar in European football.

But that was when he was a player.

Now as a coach, he is a junior. He has only been a coach for a little over two years now and has only won the Eredivisie title.

Compared to George, who is in his eighth season in charge and has won numerous championships, Koeman still has to learn more from George.

George's line-up was decent.

It's exactly the same as the last time I played the Toyota Cup. Two midfielders Alonso and Hargreaves were fielded, and Miku, Pire and Kaka were in midfield. The forward line is enabled with a single striker, Klose.

There was nothing new about Koeman's line-up.

Ajax was able to play almost all of them.

Except for Huntelaar, this is still a small child. I didn't make it to the main lineup, and I couldn't even find this person in the substitute list.

The rest of Van der Vaart, Sneijder, Frenkie de Jong, Van Bommel, Ibrahimovic and Zivo are all on the pitch. Looking at these people, even George was a little red-eyed. Wouldn't it be nice to dig a few of them to Blackburn?

But George knew that Ajax was good at business.

They are not famous, and Ajax will not sell. When they become famous, they are worth tens of millions. It was a surprise that Van der Vaart went to Hamburg so cheaply, as it was later.

With the referee's whistle, the game officially began.
