With one draw and one defeat in two rounds, George's journey to the Premier League has not been very smooth. On the contrary, it can be said that George had a poor start at Blackburn, and when George first took charge of Burnley, the results were far better than that.

One draw and one loss, and the two teams we met were not Premier League powerhouses.

The major media, which were very unoptimistic about George's entry into Blackburn, expressed pessimism about Blackburn's results this season.

Blackburn Rovers are finally back at Ewood Park in the third round to face Chelsea at home. It's a very big test, and unlike West Ham United and Nottingham Forest, Chelsea's results in recent years are not known to be much better.

Chelsea also won the European Cup Winners' Cup last season. Of course, if George hadn't led Burnley to beat Chelsea in the Carabao Cup final, Chelsea would have won the double last season. The new Vialli lost in the Carabao Cup final but has completely conquered Chelsea players and fans with a Cup Winners' Cup.

In the aftermath of the Carabao Cup final, Chelsea's media accused George of stealing the Carabao Cup title.

Chelsea stole the title in the most brazen way possible, and George even said something that many in football criticised at the time.

"If you can win the championship if you are ugly, I believe that many teams in the world are willing to be ugly as well. Between ugliness and champions, if it's me, I must choose the champion! You see I'm wearing an ugly champion around my neck right now, but I like it. ”

Because of this sentence, many people in English football criticized George for being conservative and utilitarian. In particular, the reaction was strongest from the London media and fans, who saw George as an insult to football. However, George triumphantly told the London press at the time: "I only like championships. ”。

Half a year later, George is already Blackburn's head coach. Chelsea, on the other hand, were the winners of last season's European Cup Winners' Cup.

It was difficult, but George was very prepared. After all, this was the first time George had led Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park. Blackburn fans have not welcomed George's arrival so far.

George knows that these fans are love-hate, and now they don't like themselves so much. Similarly, once he leads Blackburn to good results, the first ones to support him and support him are these fans. So George wanted to put on a good show at Ewood Park, too.

…………

On August 29, Blackburn Rovers ushered in the third round of the Premier League.

It was raining lightly in Blackburn on this day, and the rain was not very heavy. Unlike usual, this rain was a drizzle. George had heard from the rest of the population that Ewood Park was packed with fans today. Among the more than 30,000 people, the stadium was crowded with people today, filling all the places.

George was still happy to hear the news, and it seems that Blackburn fans are still quite supportive of the team. The enthusiasm is also quite high, and Ewood Park is surprisingly full.

"Today was our first home game of the season and there were more than 30,000 fans. In the first two rounds, we didn't do well. But don't take it personally, the Premier League is thirty-eight rounds. It doesn't matter if we win or lose one or two games, as long as we start working from now on, we still have a lot to do this season. ”

"Robert, don't squeeze into the middle of the game today. You and Damien hit their wings, and both of their full-backs are veterans. ”

"John, Anderson, your job in this game is to control the ball in midfield. I'm not going to ask you to go forward, you just need to be able to protect the ball in the middle. Today's attacks are all in the middle of two flanks. ”

No one is more familiar with Chelsea than George, who knew a lot about Chelsea last season in preparation for the Carabao Cup final against Chelsea. Chelsea are strong at the moment, but George believes that with the quality of Pire and Duff, there will be no problem as long as they attack their wings.

Of course, if Miku and Deco can play their own strengths, the midfield competition Blackburn will not be disadvantaged. It's a shame that they haven't settled into the Premier League rhythm right now, so George is resigned to the second best in this game, as long as they protect the ball in midfield. Don't let Chelsea get carried away in the middle.

After saying that, George looked at his watch. It's almost time for the game, so it's time to signal the players to play.

It was the first game at Ewood Park and George let out a long sigh of relief before following the players out. Vialli hasn't come out yet, but George, as the head coach of the home team, is also the owner. It's polite to go out early and wait for Vialli.

But as he walked out, George frowned. Because when the on-site commentator read the Blackburn players list, the reaction of the Blackburn fans was not enthusiastic at all. Even when Klose's name was read, there were even some sporadic boos. It was only when it came to Hendry, Flores, and Duff that Blackburn erupted in cheers.

This made George a little dissatisfied, although it was said that the performance of several people in these games was really bad. But these players they have brought in are already Blackburn Rovers, and they still have this attitude, which is really .......

George frowned as he walked out of the players' tunnel.

"Shhh

"Well, what's going on?" As soon as Vialli came out of the dressing room, he heard boos from the crowd. So I asked the assistant coach next to me very suspiciously.

The assistant coach next to him shrugged and shook his head. Chelsea and Blackburn really don't have a deep feud, and Chelsea and Blackburn have not had any dirt in recent years.

And none of the Chelsea players had any conflicts with Blackburn Rovers when they played against them, which offended the Blackburn fans. It's normal for home fans to booing away teams, but it seems like Chelsea don't have one that Blackburn Rovers hate.

But now the boos were real, and Vialli could already hear them clearly before he was fully out of the pitch.

At the same time, the players who were warming up on the field all looked to the sidelines to see what was going on.

"It's unbelievable and the Blackburn fans booed their new manager, George Levy. This is something that no one expected before the game. The narrator was also stunned by this scene and shook his head again and again.

"yes, that's a rare sight. I reckon in world football, George is the first in world football where a new coach is so booed by the home fans in his first game at home. ”

George's brow, which had been deeply furrowed just now, had already turned iron blue at this time. George really didn't expect that he would be treated like this for the first time when he was directing a Blackburn game at Ewood Park.

The boos of the whole stadium will definitely become the laughing stock of world football.

After George took charge of Blackburn, he knew that Blackburn fans would not welcome him. But George is still looking forward to making his debut at Ewood Park. I really didn't expect Blackburn fans to welcome themselves in this way.

George took a deep breath and prepared to return to his seat. But seeing Vialli walk out, he reluctantly pushed up the smile and stretched out his hand. "Coach Vialli, long time no see."

"Hello, Coach Levy."

Although he said it with a smile, the surprise in Vialli's eyes could not be concealed. Vialli was indeed very surprised, and when he got outside, he realized that it was not the Chelsea players who were being booed, but their new manager, George.

This is definitely rare, or definitely a first time. In the past, home fans booed their head coaches, only when the head coach's results were not good and he was on the verge of dismissal. But now George, although the first two rounds of the competition are not good, but this is just the beginning. Today was the first home game, and it was so well received by the fans.

George was in a bad mood, and Vialli found out. So the two just shook hands according to etiquette, and then left the place.

"George, you're all right." Evan saw George, who was blushing, and stepped forward to ask.

Evan was also surprised, he didn't expect the Blackburn fans to be so unwelcome to see George. Before the game, George once joked that he had always been the most hated person by Blackburn fans. How they should react to being Blackburn Rovers manager today.

It was a joke at the time, but it turned out to be completely unexpected. But who would have thought that Blackburn fans would be so unwelcoming to George.

George shook his head. Just looked at the fans at Ewood Park, and then sat down indifferently.

"George, don't care." Carl, who was sitting next to George, patted George on the shoulder. 'They may be like that because you were a Burnley manager. When you're done with Blackburn, they'll welcome you with applause. ”

George nodded, but then laughed.

He is really walking on a one-way street now, and Blake has become a sworn enemy of Burnley. Now he is the head coach of Blackburn, but he is so booed by Blackburn fans. Unless George can lead Blackburn to good results, he will become a joke in English football.

Now George can only continue to move forward, without the slightest turning back.

"They boo me now, but it won't be long before they bow down to me." George snorted, then gritted his teeth at Evan and Carl next to him.

Today's shame, George will always remember.
