Coaching legend

Blackburn has always been strong in the Premier League.

But in the Champions League group stage, George has almost given up. Anyway, he has already qualified as the first place, so why bother so much? Wouldn't it be better to train more young players?

So he returned to Blackburn with hope this season, but he could only play in some garbage time. Parker, who was extremely depressed, also got a chance to play.

Of course, Henning Berg and Davor Suker, who retired soon, also played. Even Blanco, who is already George's right-hand man, got a chance to play. Blanco was very happy, although he is now an important coach in George's coaching team.

But Blanco has not completely retired. So far, he has played nearly ten games.

It's also fun to be able to play in such an important Champions League game this time.

Looking at the lineup sent by Blackburn, the opponent was not angry at all. If it was usual, they would definitely feel that George looked down on them. But now no one thinks so. Valencia and Roma even hope that George can send youth team players.

Because even though the current lineup is old and young, it still cannot be completely ignored.

But the most angry one is Ajax.

Now Valencia, Roma, and Ajax all have hope of appearing. Ajax has four points, Valencia has four points, and Roma has three points.

Ajax has already played two games with Blackburn, and both lost to Blackburn. But Roma and Valencia will play a game with Blackburn. In this way, Ajax is at a disadvantage.

Sure enough, when Blackburn played Roma at home, they were beaten by Roma 1-0.

The players sent by George are really not strong enough. Roma is very strong, and now it is a do-or-die battle, so from the beginning of the game, they attacked Blackburn fiercely. In the end, with a wonderful pass from Totti, Cassano scored the only goal.

At the end of the fifth group match, Roma's points reached six points, surpassing the other two opponents. Because Ajax and Valencia tied, Ajax and Valencia both accumulated five points.

On March 20, the last game of the Champions League group stage began.

Blackburn challenged Valencia away. Ajax and Roma both expressed their belief before the game that Blackburn would abide by sports ethics. George seemed to be a role model in the football world.

George knew that these two clubs were putting pressure on Blackburn.

They certainly didn't want Blackburn to let up. Because Valencia had already accumulated five points, if they easily defeated Blackburn, it would be eight points. This was very bad news for Roma and Ajax.

But George didn't care about them.

What are they? It's a joke that I still have to listen to them. It's completely their own fault to have reached this situation. They don't have the strength, but they put their hopes on others. This is the most ridiculous thing.

Therefore, George still did his own thing and sent a lot of substitutes. Even Van der Sar was resting off the court.

But sometimes, the game is so fun.

George sent a lot of substitutes, and they naturally played dense defense. In order to perform in front of George, they spared no effort. The young players even ran all over the field. Essien showed his inhuman strength at home against Aimar and Baraha.

Aimar, knock you away. Baraha, I'll shovel! I'll shovel! I'll shovel!

Essien, the beast waist that even Van der Vaart feared, made Aimar and Baraha realize what abnormality is at this time. Valencia is anxious now, because Valencia only has five points. Ajax and Roma are still one to one. If it ends like this, Roma will appear with seven points.

Therefore, Valencia is completely crazy.

Bombarding Blackburn. Defense, they are all out, what's the point of defense?

At this time, Defoe, who had been cruising in front, received the ball to clear the siege, and rode alone to break through and hit the dragon. In the end, he passed Cañizares and scored an empty goal.

One to zero, Blackburn actually scored a goal against Valencia with a counterattack in a passive situation throughout the game. Sometimes the game is like this. You can't win by having a high ball possession rate and many shots.

The Valencia players were completely confused. Because Valencia could only accept the fate of being eliminated in the group stage.

Because no matter what the score of the other venue was, Valencia would be eliminated.

Therefore, in the remaining time, Valencia attacked like crazy. But the offense was disorganized, and in the end, they could only accept the fate of being eliminated.

The match between Blackburn and Valencia made the other venue very happy.

Ajax attacked Roma like crazy, because any team that won this game could qualify from this group stage.

In the end, the young genius of Ajax, who played at home, was superior. Or the young people were full of passion. Van der Vaart passed the ball to Van der Meyde with an almost juggling heel pass. Van der Meyde faced a completely empty goal, and just pushed it lightly, and the score became 2-1.

Van der Vaart is really a genius.

He passed the ball calmly in the encirclement of four people.

This immediately gave Van der Meyde an opportunity to score an empty goal, breaking the balance and defeating Roma 2-1.

It surpassed Roma and Valencia, two strong teams, and became the second team to appear.

Although it was a group stage, there was not much media attention.

If it was other clubs, it might be possible, but Blackburn had already secured a place in the group stage early. Therefore, not many people are paying attention to Blackburn's appearance.

This time, the performance of the Premier League club in the Champions League can only be unsatisfactory.

Four teams came to the Champions League, although they all entered the second round of the Champions League group stage. But among these four teams, only two teams succeeded in breaking through. Manchester United and Blackburn.

Because of the second round of the Champions League group stage, it was very difficult to break through the four groups.

Group A is Liverpool, Inter Milan, Leverkusen, and Barcelona, ​​which is also a death group. In the end, Liverpool was defeated and failed to break through this group. Inter Milan and Barcelona broke through.

Group B is the group where Blackburn is. Although it is also a death group, Blackburn has five wins and one loss and easily emerged from the group.

Group C is the group where Arsenal is. Lokomotiv Moscow, AC Milan, Real Madrid, and Arsenal. Although Arsenal tried their best in the last two games. But Arsenal still failed to break through.

Real Madrid and AC Milan successfully broke through this group.

Group D is the group where Manchester United is. This group is not simple either. It is Basel, Deportivo La Coruna, Manchester United, and Juventus. Fortunately, Manchester United is good and finally broke through this group with difficulty. Juventus broke through with Manchester United.

With such a strong grouping, it can be said that none of the teams that can qualify from the second round of the group stage will be weak teams.

When the list of the quarterfinals comes out, everyone will know the gold content of the quarterfinals. Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Juventus, Inter Milan, AC Milan, Manchester United, Blackburn, Ajax.

…………

George didn't feel anything about qualifying from the group stage and entering the quarterfinals of the Champions League. Blackburn entered the quarterfinals of the Champions League, isn't it normal?

So now George's attention is back to the league again.

In the 31st round of the Premier League, Blackburn Rovers will challenge Tottenham Hotspur away.

Joe Lewis, the owner of Tottenham Hotspur, is indeed a wealthy man. Although he is not as generous as Abramovich, who will throw out hundreds of millions of pounds in a summer. But he is not a stingy person, and he is not stingy with a transfer fee of 20 to 30 million pounds a season.

After taking over Tottenham Hotspur, Joe Lewis did not make many big moves.

But he also bought some heavyweight players. Including Daniel Morrison, Bellamy, Robbie Keane and other powerful players were still acquired by Tottenham Hotspur. Unfortunately, the England national team coach Hoddle was already behind.

The results of leading Tottenham Hotspur are getting worse and worse.

He was even bombarded by many of his own players.

What is more unfortunate for Tottenham Hotspur is that after Campbell left, the central defender Ledley King who carried the banner of Tottenham Hotspur is a glass man. He just performed well and was even selected by the England national team. But before playing for the national team, he lay down on the bed first.

Some minor injuries are fine, but Ledley King will have to lie down for eight months. This makes Tottenham want to cry but have no tears.

In this way, Tottenham's defense line has once again become transparent.

This game is the same. Facing the World Cup top scorer Klose, Tottenham's defense line is completely unable to defend.

Although Klose scores goals steadily, he lacks shocking scenes such as hat tricks and big fours. Even Klose doesn't score twice. In other words, Klose is not the kind of player who scores a lot of goals in a game. But the distribution of goals is very even. This is different from Henry and Van Nistelrooy.

Henry and Van Nistelrooy score a lot of goals, not only the distribution of goals is very even. More importantly, they not only score a lot of doubles, but also occasionally complete hat tricks and big fours. Klose does not belong to this kind of striker.

But in this game, facing the weak Tottenham defense line, Klose completed a hat trick in the first half. At White Hart Lane, leading Tottenham by 3-0. George almost laughed up to the sky. As long as they win this game, there will be only seven rounds left in the league.

Blackburn is now six points ahead of Manchester United, which is the difference of two games.

Blackburn not only has an advantage in goal difference, but also has one win and one draw in direct matches. In addition, among the remaining opponents of Blackburn, there is only one strong opponent, Newcastle.

Manchester United also has strong opponents such as Liverpool, Arsenal, and Newcastle.

Blackburn also has a complete advantage in the schedule.
