George always had a serious look on his face when he appeared at Ewood Park.

It's not that George is serious, it's that George was terrified by the boos of the Ewood Park fans. If George's expression changes slightly, then so many shots in the audience will not let George go.

So George just kept his face straight at Ewood Park, so that even if there was any change in his expression, he couldn't see anything.

"Hello, Coach O'Reilly." George was the host, so he reached out to the front early.

"Hello, Coach Levy."

Looking at George's young face, O'Reilly felt jealous. At the age of 30, he is already the head coach of a Premier League club.

But O'Reilly didn't know that George was just as envious of O'Reilly. Don't think David. O'Reilly is because he worked as George. Graham's assistant coach will succeed Graham as Leeds United manager.

David. O'Reilly, like a lot of coaches, is a coach who came from playing football. He was very famous when he was playing and played for Arsenal most of the time. Since making his debut in the Arsenal first team at the age of seventeen, he has made a total of 722 appearances for Arsenal.

722 games, which is Arsenal's record for appearances. More than a decade later, no Arsenal player has been able to break that record. And it is unlikely that any player will be able to break this record in the future.

O'Reilly, known as Spider-Man by Arsenal fans, is a legendary player at Arsenal. Won two FA Cups, two League Cups and two league titles for Arsenal.

George envied O'Reilly because he had been so lucky in his coaching career. As soon as he became a manager, he encountered Leeds United's brilliant moments. At this time, Leeds United's youth team was full of young talent, and the Leeds United owners were willing to invest money.

Although Peter. Rieddale's last adventurous action gave Leeds United a great disaster. But at this time, Rizdale can be very generous to the chairman. It can be said that what is asked for and what is given.

George started his coaching career at Burnley, spending all three years in the lower leagues. This is the first time he has managed a Premier League team, and it took half a season to gradually make a name for himself in the Premier League. And Rieddale has just become the manager of Leeds United, and Leeds United has been very vigorous. Until now, Leeds United are fourth in the Premier League.

The two weren't familiar with each other, so they simply said hello.

It's all just in courtesy. After saying hello, just as he wanted to turn around, suddenly there was a huge applause in the Blackburn stands. The Ewood Park Stadium has a capacity of 31,367 spectators, including the Darwin Stand, Riverside Stand, Blackburn Rovers and Jack Walker Stand.

The Riverside Stand is often for away fans, and the Blackburn stands are the stands where the Blackburn Rovers diehard fans are.

This applause came inexplicably and extremely suddenly. Both George and O'Reilly looked up at the Blackburn stands.

"George Levy!" "George Levy!"

Suddenly, above the Blackburn stands, George's name rang. They seemed to be singing and shouting. But there was nothing else, just a certain melody, only George's name.

They just kept shouting "George. Levy! ”。

Their shouts made George stunned. I was just as surprised as I was when I heard the boos from the fans. George couldn't understand why they had suddenly changed their attitudes.

O'Reilly also did not think that now in English football who does not know that George is persona non grata at Ewood Park. George and Blackburn fans have even had a record of swearing at Ewood Park. And in his first home game in charge, he was booed by the fans, George is absolutely unique. I didn't expect to see another attitude from the fans today.

Blackburn Rovers Stands, that's Blackburn's most diehard fans. Get their cheers and applause, and then this coach has basically won the hearts of Blackburn fans.

George was surprised by the fact that a smile appeared on his face for a moment.

The Blackburn players on the field who were preparing to kick off also turned their heads unexpectedly. Even many reporters at the scene turned their cameras to the Blackburn stands.

"Haha, what did we hear. It's Blackburn fans chanting George's name! "Even the narrator was quite surprised." This should be the first time George has received applause from the home fans at home. Half a season, George has been waiting for this applause for I don't know how long. ”

Could it be that Blackburn's performance during this period has made them so satisfied? There was only one reason George could imagine.

What George didn't know was that George led Blackburn to a 5-0 win over Burnley at Tivmore Stadium. After the game, Evan humiliated Burnley with five fingers. This was a big relief for Blackburn fans.

They watched the game in front of the TV and knew how George was booed. So after George returned to Blackburn, those Blackburn loyalists gave George the highest cheers. We welcome what you Burnley opposes, what you boo.

Sometimes it's really hard to understand that when George won six in a row some time ago, he didn't receive such cheers at home. But when they saw the Burnley fans booing George, they were defending him instead.

We Blackburn fans boo our coach can, you Burnley? Hum!

A game against Burnley made them change their attitude.

But for whatever reason, George was very happy. Not only George, but also the Blackburn players on the field were quite excited. They have honestly not experienced any home feeling this season and today had a home atmosphere for the first time.

The atmosphere at home is a necessary thing.

Unlike before, as long as a Blackburn player gets the ball, the fans will applaud. As soon as the Leeds United fans got the ball, the home fans booed.

Ewood Park is not a stadium, but the 30,000-seat stadium has no less atmosphere than those stadiums.

The players were very excited and their performance on the pitch improved.

"Deco ...... Bowyer's ball was broken again. Deco's passing organization has been vividly displayed in recent games, and many media have commented on this season's Premier League transfers, Deco is among the best. But in this game, it was discovered that Deco's defense was not weak. ”

I really didn't expect Deco to make consecutive steals in the midfield position.

Deco's excellent play made it a lot easier for Hargreaves next to him, and Hargreaves only had to defend Smith. Against Smith, Hargreaves fully used his stalking skills. Stick to Smith and don't let Smith get the ball easily.

Smith, who was only eighteen years old, had a tough game.

As George thought, young players are easily inspired. But they are also prone to getting irritable and unable to hold their breath.

Smith is like this now, because he is really impatient to be pestered by Hargreaves. Including Bowyer in the midfield, because he always can't get the ball, he is getting more and more uncontrollable. In fact, at this time, what Leeds United needs is a veteran to come out and stabilize the morale of the army.

After all, Leeds United doesn't need to be so anxious away from home, and it should be Blackburn Rovers who should be in a hurry. But Blackburn didn't rush and instead made the Leeds players upset. This is a common problem among young people.

It's a pity that Leeds United is now the only older player, and only goalkeeper Nair. Martin and Lucas. Radbey two. One of them is a goalkeeper and the other is a centre-back. There is nothing that can be done about the current loss of momentum in midfield.

Blackburn Rovers also have a majority of young players, including Duff and Hargreaves, two young men under the age of 20. However, Blackburn's current core of all lines is experienced players.

Including Hyypia and Van Bronckhorst in the back line, Miku and Pire in the midfield, they are all players who have worked hard in their respective leagues for many years. I don't know how much more experience I have than Leeds United players who have just entered the first team.

Therefore, they did not blindly play fast with Leeds United according to George's words. Instead, he used skillful technique and coordination to control the ball in the midfield. After wearing down Leeds' spirits, all of a sudden they picked up the attack. This kind of fast and slow style of play makes Leeds United very uncomfortable.

Twenty-seven minutes into the first half, the ball kept passing between Deco and Miku, with Pire occasionally coming to help. Bowyer and Ribeiro in the midfield were quite depressed, and the ball was really difficult to grab.

Miku got his hands on Deco again up front, made a sudden turn in front of Ribeiro, and then slotted a ball to the right. Switching positions with Duff, Pire, who came to the right, overtook Ian in an instant. Hart, on the right side of the box, got the ball very comfortably.

Miku, who had a lot of backpasses in this game, suddenly accelerated and then passed the ball, catching the Leeds United defence off guard.

After entering the penalty area, Pire had more options, and a few shakes in the face of young Woodgate made Woodgate lose his center of gravity. Then he gently passed to the vicinity of the penalty spot, and Miku, who followed up, directly volleyed. Martin wasn't given any chance to react at all.

"One to zero, John. Miku! It was Miku's fourth goal for Blackburn Rovers and Miku, who has adapted to English football, is getting better and better. ”

The on-site narrator was not so calm.

“gooooooooooooooal！！！！！！！！”

"John Miku!"

"One to zero, we're already ahead."

"Rejoice, our hero Miku!!"

If it had been before, Ewood Park would have been a sparse applause. But this time it was different, and with Miku's goal, the whole stadium erupted in earth-shattering cheers. One after another, "John. Miku! Cheers.

Miku has scored four goals this season, the first time a goal has received such cheers. So he raised his hands and spun around. Then he opened his arms and faced Pire, who assisted. Piret also ran to Miku, and then picked him up.

The Blackburn players were excited, and not just excited because they were ahead. It's more because it's the first time that a Blackburn Rovers player feels himself so clearly. When I used to go to Ewood Park, it was like someone else's home turf. Today they finally felt like it was their home turf.

George also waved his fist very excitedly on the sidelines. It's the excitement of scoring goals at home like this.
