255 pre-game
With the UEFA Cup final fast approaching, more and more fans have started to flock to Copenhagen.
According to the current statistics of ticket sales, Blackburn has sold more than 12,000 tickets. Galatasaray, on the other hand, also had 10,000 fans. Although the ticket sales are not over yet, there are not many tickets left in the hands of both sides.
Because in addition to these two clubs, there are also a significant number of tickets reserved for neutral fans. Because the capacity of the UEFA Cup final stadium is small, there are not many tickets left for neutral fans.
With the influx of English fans and Turkish fans, the Copenhagen police are getting more and more nervous.
And there was pre-match news that Leeds United fans would take revenge on the Turks in Copenhagen after being eliminated by Turkey's Galatasaray in the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup and two fans were killed in Istanbul.
Although I don't know if this is true or not, it has made many police in Copenhagen more vigilant.
Copenhagen Police Spokesman Fleming. Manch said: "We will not leave any opportunity for the British to make trouble. We have stepped up entry checks on English football hooligans and there have been no reports of them in the city at this time. We have also stepped up street patrols. ”
The head of the Copenhagen Railway Authority's police, Preben. Fischer also said: "We have been on full alert since the morning of the 15th. There has been no news of any fan disturbances yet. Most of the fans won't arrive until the morning of the 17th. If they dare to make trouble, our personnel will be there in a few minutes. In general, we are everywhere. ”
Although the police in Copenhagen are nervous, they are still confident about the security work.
But when Copenhagen police spokesman Fleming. After Manchi's remarks, George, as a Blackburn Rovers coach, immediately attacked the Copenhagen police.
"I would like to ask Mr. Manchi why you only say that you are a football hooligan in England and not on the Turkish side. Everything in the world has a cause and effect, and if it weren't for the Leeds United fan being killed in Istanbul, the atmosphere would not be so tense right now. Do you think it's only the British fans who make trouble, and the Turkish fans who are gentlemen? ”
"I think Mr Manchi is seriously geographically discriminated against fans from England. I think that with such a discriminatory point of view, as long as there is a slight conflict, in the eyes of the Copenhagen police, it must be the English fans who will cause trouble first. I think it's so unfair to England fans. ”
In fact, there are many hooligans in English football, and George definitely knows more than others as an English coach. West Ham United and Millwall, for example, in London, are a hub for football hooligans. If at any other time, whoever attacks the English football hooligans, what's the matter with George?
However, the two opponents in this UEFA Cup final are Blackburn Rovers and Galatasaray.
Most of the British fans who came to Copenhagen this time were Blackburn Rovers. George can't let the Copenhagen police slander Blackburn fans with such empty mouths. So choose to fight back against the Copenhagen police.
In fact, the Copenhagen police have absolutely no intention of targeting English football hooligans. It's just that because of the pre-match rumors, Leeds United fans also poured into Copenhagen. Their goal is to avenge the dead fans, which is what worries the Copenhagen police.
But when George said that, the surname changed.
First, the Blackburn fan group said in front of the media that they were just a group of fanatical fans, and they were definitely not football hooligans who made trouble.
Then some people in English football also felt inappropriate about the statement made by the Copenhagen police spokesperson. They all thought that the Copenhagen police looked at the fans on both sides with colored glasses.
In the end, even the British Sports Secretary came out. He believes that the preconceived view of the police, who are the host of the League Cup, is very wrong. Their statements have seriously hurt the feelings of British fans.
Under pressure from all sides, the Copenhagen police were helpless and could only come out to explain. They definitely don't mean that, they don't take sides with fans on either side. As long as there are troublesome fans, whether it is British fans or Turkish fans, they will treat them equally.
"No matter where George is, he can make a scene."
"Look at the people who just arrived in Copenhagen, and they forced the Copenhagen police to apologize. If it weren't for George, who would have caught them in the hunt. ”
When the Copenhagen police apologized and explained, the English media felt funny.
In fact, George did not expect an apology from the Copenhagen police. It's just that I think the Copenhagen police's statement is very inappropriate.
George is just a coach and the biggest idea now is how to deal with Galatasaray.
Galatasaray is a team with a very attacking surname. And although there are many Turkish talents, the style of play is not like the vigorous style of play of the Turkish national team. On the contrary, it is somewhat similar to Blackburn, a style of play with midfield control.
This has to do with Galatasaray having a world superstar. He is Romania's midfield superstar Georgi. Haji.
Haji is an excellent playmaker and playmaker, with an extraordinary sense of time and space, excellent ball control skills, and good timing of passes, and is the soul of the team. Haji is good at using his left foot, known as the "golden left foot", and he uses his left foot to control, pass, and shoot. In particular, his long-range shot with his left foot is as fast and accurate as a missile, which is breathtaking.
Haji is old, now over thirty-five years old.
In football, as long as he is over thirty-two or thirty-three years old, then the player has basically reached the age of retirement.
At the age of thirty-five, it is very rare to still be able to play the main team in the club. But Haji is not only a 35-year-old but also a regular player, but he is also the heart of Galatasaray's current midfield.
Haji, though he is very old. But his quality in midfield should definitely not be overlooked.
Plus Emre in the middle of the lane. Emre is a talented player, young but not to be underestimated. This combination of one old and one young definitely has one number in the control ball.
They are able to play a controlled style of play with ease, which has to do with the fact that they have Hadji and Emre in midfield. And of course also with the top Hakan at the front. Suker is the center forward.
Hakan. Su Restraint is very capable of air supremacy. Just having strong air dominance will not be hailed as the best striker outside the five major leagues. Hakan. Suker's catching, passing, and shooting up front are all top-notch. It is with Hakan. A striker like Suker, so Galatasaray's midfield control play is very effective.
George likes to play against this kind of team.
George doesn't like to play against teams that are unreasonable, especially in the middle and bottom of the Premier League.
"George, George, it's here."
Evan stabbed George. Woke up the pensive George.
George looked out the window and saw that he was already outside the stadium at Copenhagen Park. There were already a lot of fans gathered outside waiting for the team to arrive. Seeing their clothes, George knew they were Blackburn fans.
"George! George! ”
As soon as the doors of the bus opened, all the Blackburn fans suddenly erupted in a huge cheer.
These fans are not all fans who don't have tickets, in fact, most of them do. Fans who don't have tickets rarely come to Copenhagen. They weren't on the pitch, they were off the pitch just to welcome Blackburn.
So when I saw the Blackburn bus coming, the cheers came one after another.
This can surprise the Copenhagen police officers on duty. They are very nervous about the English football hooligans, so they are very nervous to maintain order on the scene.
But the reporters in front didn't care about that, and just leaned in. What microphones, cameras are all aimed at George.
"Coach Levy, do you have any thoughts on the game?"
The reporter, who finally stood in the main position, asked a decent question. This made the reporter who had not yet grabbed the position behind him secretly despise the reporter. Journalists from England, in particular, despise the most and look like a rookie.
Who is George? The famous big mouth. For interviewing George, you should ask some questions about the surname of the explosion. What's your problem?
"To be a runner-up here is a failure, and I will not be a loser."
George replied to the reporter with a smile. And then all of a sudden, the voice was louder. "I just want a championship, I don't want anything but a championship. Champions, only champions! ”
"Champion! Champion! We want a championship! Seeing George's words suddenly, the Blackburn fans on the periphery also echoed George.
George raised his hands to silence everyone.
Sure enough, after George raised his hands, all the Blackburn fans who had just been excited fell silent. Waiting for George's next words. George looked at them, still quite proud in his heart. Look at my influence, it's still quite big.
"I promise you that when we go back we will go home with the UEFA Cup winners."
"Woo-woo-"
"George! George! ”
"Champion! Champion! ”
Blackburn fans are already boiling on the periphery. The constant assault on the front made the police who maintained order very dissatisfied.
"Hi, I'm BBC correspondent Mark Murphy. Beforts. I'm here to report from Copenhagen Park. Just now, Coach Levy faced all the media and Blackburn Rovers fans to assure him that the UEFA Cup winner must be Blackburn's. Exciting assurances that have made all Blackburn Rovers fans already insane. ”
"Coach Levy said at the beginning of the season that the goal for this season is to win the League Cup. Now that Blackburn Rovers are in the final of the League Cup, there is reason to believe that Coach Levy will be able to lead Blackburn to the League Cup title. ”
BBC correspondent Mark Brown. Befus stood in the middle of the excited Blackburn fans and gave everyone an overview of the scene.
George slowly entered the Copenhagen Park Stadium to the cheers of all the fans.
