Coaching legend

After defeating Juventus, George was immediately satisfied.

Now they have entered the quarterfinals of the Champions League.

George returned to England feeling very happy. Of course, Wenger is equally excited.

Arsenal is now the most watched team in Europe. In the Premier League, it currently tops the list. And the performance is very good, far behind all competitors. Whether it is Blackburn, Manchester United or Chelsea, they have all been left behind by double digits.

Arsenal has basically booked the Premier League title this season.

In the current Premier League, in the mid-to-late 1990s, Manchester United and Arsenal were competing for supremacy.

In the current Premier League, all the strong teams are European powerhouses. Including Manchester United, Blackburn, and Chelsea, any one of them is well-known in European football. But they are now in the Premier League and are completely suppressed by Arsenal.

Everyone can imagine how strong Arsenal is.

Arsenal is not the kind of team that is expert in civil war and amateur in foreign war. In the Champions League, Arsenal's performance has always been outstanding. They counterattacked in the group stage and beat Inter Milan 5-1 away from home. That game really shocked the European football world.

Now Arsenal has entered the Champions League quarter-finals as expected.

Arsenal are now among the best in terms of odds of winning the Champions League.

There is only one person in the Premier League team who can only frown at this time.

That's Ferguson.

Because the first upset of the Champions League this season occurred.

Manchester United were held to a 1-1 draw at home by Porto. The score was 2-3 in the two rounds. The powerful Manchester United actually lost to Porto from Portugal. Ferguson, a famous European coach, actually lost to a fledgling Mourinho.

This became the first big upset in the Champions League this season.

Porto became famous.

Manchester United is in tragedy.

Ferguson has been under a lot of pressure in recent seasons. Because Manchester United has not won any important trophy for four seasons. Not to mention the Champions League, there is not even a league championship. Manchester United even had no choice but to use a League Cup to save their lives last season.

Because Manchester United's performance is so poor.

Even among Manchester United fans, there are already voices saying that Ferguson is getting old and they hope he will be dismissed. You can imagine how much pressure Ferguson is under now.

I didn't expect that this season, Manchester United would be in tragedy again.

They were left behind by Arsenal by nearly 20 points, and they were even eliminated from the Champions League by Porto, a team no one looked up to.

Suddenly Ferguson became the target of public criticism.

Everyone is blaming Ferguson and thinking that Ferguson is old. Many British media believe that Beckham's departure is the reason why Manchester United is in such decline this season. The newly joined Ronaldinho has excellent personal abilities and fancy skills.

But it's too bad when placed in a team. He only knows how to show off his skills, but it does not help the team in any way.

This is completely incomparable to Beckham.

Of course, this is the idea of ​​the British media. But this is a common thought among many people at present. Xiao Luo, is he very strong?

Xiao Luo is now just a talented boy riding a bicycle. The help and contribution to Manchester United cannot be compared to Beckham's. Even because he is too obsessed with personal skills instead of cooperating with the team.

Some big players in the team are already quite dissatisfied with him.

Especially Ruud, he misses Beckham quite a bit. He has stated in public several times that he misses Beckham.

Don't look at Ferguson's great influence on British football.

At this point, who cares who you are? Not to mention Ferguson, even Ferguson is useless. The overwhelming accusations were all directed at Ferguson.

George felt a little bit of compassion in his heart.

Ferguson is a famous European coach no matter what. Now he is being criticized like this.

But George didn't go up to help. If Ferguson can get out of class now under pressure, it will be a very good result for George. Once Ferguson is dismissed, Manchester United's threat will drop by more than half.

Most coaches in the Premier League are hoping that Ferguson, the old man, will be dismissed soon.

Of course George also knew this was impossible.

Under these circumstances, the Premier League will continue.

In the twenty-eighth round of the Premier League, Arsenal continued their good performance. Defeated Charlton Athletic 2-1 at home to consolidate their top spot in the Premier League.

Of course Blackburn is too.

Defeated Aston Villa 2-0 away from home.

Only Manchester United, which was eliminated from the Champions League, was held to a one-to-one draw by Fulham away from home. If you don't work hard, even the fourth place is not guaranteed.

…………

After the 28th round of the Premier League, Ferguson was even more frustrated. But George and Wenger have no time to worry about, because the draw for the Champions League quarter-finals is about to take place.

The Champions League quarter-finals are as follows.

Real Madrid, Milan, Lyon, Monaco, Porto, Blackburn, Arsenal, Stuttgart.

When it comes to the quarter-finals, there isn't as much emphasis on it as the quarter-finals.

What about avoiding clubs in the same group and country. Therefore, at this time, whether the lottery is good or bad depends on God’s arrangement. Of course it also depends on UEFA's mood.

If UEFA is happy and gives you a weak team, then you will have fun secretly.

If UEFA is not happy and gives you a strong team, then you can only bear it.

The consequence of reducing a group has come out.

Everyone has already felt it in the round of 16. But if you look at the quarterfinals, everyone can feel it very clearly.

That is, there are too many dark horses. Or too many weak teams.

Although Monaco and Porto are complete dark horses. But Lyon and Stuttgart can appear in the quarterfinals because there is only one group stage now. Therefore, it is not too difficult to break through the group stage.

In addition, the draw for the quarterfinals is good. They encountered the same weak team. That is why there are so many weak teams in the quarterfinals.

If it is a two-round group stage like before, it is difficult for teams like Stuttgart and Lyon to appear. Even Porto and Monaco may not be able to break through the second round of the group stage.

But for George, this is a good thing.

Because the more underdogs there are, the easier it is to enter the Champions League final.

That's what George thought.

Unfortunately, as soon as the draw for the quarterfinals came out, George couldn't laugh anymore.

Damn UEFA!

Damn, Blackburn had bad luck and drew Milan.

Who can you tell about this bad luck? There are not many strong teams in the quarterfinals, and most teams are weak teams. Under this circumstance, they actually met Milan. If you say that there is no UEFA's hand, George will never believe it.

It must be UEFA.

It must be them, for ratings.

Although Blackburn and Milan are not feuds, they were eliminated by Milan without any suspense last season, which made many people in European football laugh at George. There are also many Italian media who are extremely sarcastic about George.

Although George did not fight back.

But the Blackburn media and the Italian media, especially the Milan media, have fought a lot.

Now that enemies meet, they must be extremely jealous.

This is the best way to increase ratings.

In the upper half of the group, Blackburn has Porto and Lyon in addition to Milan.

That is to say, the winner of Blackburn and Milan will chase the winner of Porto and Lyon for the same roster of the Champions League final.

George cursed in his heart.

Why don't you let me play against Lyon? It's so easy to play against Lyon. George has been looking forward to playing against Sparta Prague or Lyon since the quarter-finals. Unfortunately, he didn't get his wish, and now he has to play against Milan.

Damn, look at Arsenal's draw.

It is estimated that UEFA's teasing of Arsenal in the past few seasons has been boring. In the group stage of the past few seasons, Arsenal was thrown into the absolute death group by UEFA every season. Perhaps to make up for it, Arsenal this season first met Celta in the knockout stage, and now met Stuttgart.

George really envied Arsenal. Why don't I have this kind of luck.

George suddenly thought of it.

Why are dark horses rampant this season.

It's all because I killed all the strong teams. First I killed Juventus, and then I killed Milan. Let's see what other strong teams there are.

Yes, what's Milan?

The revenge of last season has not been avenged yet, and it happened to be this season. George didn't have to think about this shame and how to take revenge. It's pretty good now.

After comforting himself in this way, George's cold face finally melted.

After the draw, many reporters surrounded George.

Because in the quarter-finals, there is not only a strong dialogue between Blackburn and Juventus, but also a giant confrontation between Real Madrid and Bayern Munich. So it's not very conspicuous.

But as soon as the quarter-final draw was over, Blackburn's game was very conspicuous.

Because in the entire quarter-finals, there is only one real European strong dialogue.

That is Blackburn facing Milan.

In addition to the game between Blackburn and Milan last season, all reporters wanted to hear George's opinion.

"Milan? I think it's good. It's just right to settle the new and old accounts together. Maybe I have a connection with Italian football. First I eliminated Juventus, and then I will eliminate Milan."

George didn't care at all and answered the reporter very easily.

"Coach Levy, Blackburn had no way to deal with Milan last season? Are you so sure that you can eliminate Milan?"

The Italian reporter asked George with a smile.

Among Italian clubs, only Milan has ever succeeded in fighting against George. Others including Roma, Lazio, and Juventus have all been defeated by Blackburn. Therefore, the Italian football world has always mentioned Milan's victory over Blackburn.

"Times have changed. Last season, my team changed some people, and they were not able to fully integrate into the team, so Milan took advantage of it. This season, my team has completely run-in successfully. Milan, it's time for them to know how powerful we are."
