Chapter 374 The Civil War
Although the Champions League semi-finals are still to be played, Blackburn's celebration of the Premier League championship is still very loud.

It was just because Blackburn was about to play the semi-finals of the Champions League a few days later, so there was no celebration within the team, especially under George's strictness, there was no drunkenness.They all know bigger games await them.

Because among the Champions League semi-finals, there are three Premier League teams.

So there must be two Premier League clubs who are going to have a civil war.The semi-finals of the Champions League are Real Madrid against Arsenal and Manchester United against Blackburn.

George, who won the Premier League championship and was in a very good mood, teased Ferguson.

"Coach Ferguson's coaching career is considered very complete. Now that I am getting older, I think I should consider the issue of retirement. Otherwise, if I fail at the end of the season, it will not ruin my reputation. Therefore, I suggest that Coach Ferguson should retire earlier. Don't get kicked out in the end."

George teased Ferguson, but with a very sincere expression.It was as if George was really thinking about Ferguson.

Ferguson couldn't laugh or cry when he heard George's ridicule.Relying on his youth, this kid has no respect for his seniors.

However, Ferguson is not a shrinking turtle, so he responded to George's ridicule. "George is right. I am also thinking about retirement recently. But Manchester United is my painstaking effort. I will not leave without taking good aftermath measures. I have to find a successor for Manchester United before I can leave with peace of mind."

"If George is willing to come to Manchester United and coach Manchester United. I can really retire with peace of mind. I don't know what George thinks?"

Both George and Ferguson are very talkative people in the Premier League.

It is normal for both sides to complain before the game.But the media loves it very much.Since Wenger took over Arsenal and George led the rise of Blackburn, the English media has a lot of news to write about.

When Manchester United dominated the Premier League, no opponent dared to challenge Ferguson head-on.

But since Arsene Wenger arrived in England it has been completely different.First, Wenger led Arsenal to grab food from Manchester United and grabbed two Premier League titles.Then George led Blackburn to an overwhelming advantage and won two consecutive Premier League titles.

With this kind of competition, the Premier League looks better.

On April 4, George led Blackburn to Old Trafford.

In the UEFA Champions League semi-final the day before, Arsenal lost [-]-[-] at home to Real Madrid.Arsenal's promotion situation has become steeper and steeper.Many English media hope that the Premier League team will take the two places in the Champions League final. It seems that it is not easy to realize.

At Old Trafford, Manchester United gave Blackburn more than 2 away tickets generously this time.

Although it is an away game, there are not many Blackburn fans at all.If Manchester United gives [-] tickets, Blackburn fans will be able to make up for it.After coming to Blackburn, George felt for the first time why the rich are in big cities.Because fans in big cities have money and can support teams.

After George arrived at Blackburn, he found that Blackburn was indeed richer than Burnley.

When George led Burnley to the League Cup final and the FA Cup final, he criticized the ticket prices for the two cup finals.Because the ticket price is too expensive, it burdens Burnley fans a lot.

Many Burnley fans even want to go to watch the game live, but they are short of cash.

But it's different here at Blackburn.

Although Blackburn is not a very rich place.But it is far richer than Burnley, and its average annual income is more than three times that of the citizens of Burnley.In this way, to watch football, even if it is such an important game, although the tickets are a bit expensive, they are still affordable.

But Blackburn, compared to cities like London, Manchester, and Liverpool, is several grades behind.This is the gap.

Before the game started, the Blackburn fans had already found their place.

6000 fans, in the Old Trafford stadium that can accommodate more than [-] people, it is really not a lot.But the cheers from the excited Blackburn fans were no worse than that of Manchester United fans.

Blackburn fans excited, genuinely excited.

How exciting it is, you can see that 5 fans can compete with more than [-] Manchester United fans.

The three Premier League champions have already beaten Arsenal, second only to Manchester United, which has won the Premier League five times.And this is the first time that Blackburn has won the top league title.

Now Blackburn has entered the Champions League semi-finals, which is a new history.

In the history of Blackburn, before George took over, he played in the Champions League once.That is, the season after winning the Premier League championship in the 94-95 season.But that season is something that Blackburn fans don't want to mention at all.Because it is so embarrassing.

All of Blackburn's Champions League history can be said to be created by George.

Playing the Champions League for the second time last season, Blackburn has already entered the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

This season is the third time to play in the Champions League, Blackburn is further into the Champions League semi-finals.How could Blackburn fans not be excited about such a result.

They were at Old Trafford, chanting "We are the champions!".

This is another way to stimulate Manchester United fans.Tell them that this season's Premier League champions are Blackburn.But Manchester United fans are not Arsenal fans. Arsenal fans are rich, and like their coach Arsene Wenger, they are personable.

So many people ridiculed Arsenal, saying that Arsenal's Highbury Stadium is a "library", known as the "Highbury Library".

But Manchester United fans are not Arsenal fans.

If Arsenal fans shouted "We are the champions!", Manchester United fans would boo them even if they were dissatisfied.Because Arsenal is also a giant in England and has created its own dynasty.

But Blackburn fans are so arrogant, Manchester United fans don't like it.

Not only Chinese people like to find a great ancestor and gild themselves.The same goes for the English, even more enthusiastic about it than the Chinese.

That's what Manchester United fans are.Arsenal can be arrogant, what are you Blackburn?It's just a small country bumpkin team, and after the last two years of good performance, it started to be bullish.So they complain about Blackburn fans.

Lao Tzu has two Champions League titles and twelve English top league titles.There are ten FA Cup champions alone.

Didn't you just win the Premier League championship, why are you so arrogant?
Seeing Manchester United showing off their history there, Blackburn fans really have nothing to say.Who made Manchester United's history brilliant, while Blackburn's history is blank.

Therefore, Blackburn fans quickly changed the subject.Talking about history is asking for shame.

All Blackburn fans shouted, we have won the Premier League champions.And you haven't touched the top league champion in two years, right?Anyway, Blackburn fans are clinging to the results of these two seasons.

When you talk about history, Blackburn fans just avoid it.Anyway, we know that our grades are better than yours now.

Soon Manchester United fans found out.These Blackburn fans are a fucking bunch of scoundrels.Things that are not good for them, they go in the right ear and out the left ear.They cling to what is beneficial to them.

"It's a Champions League semi-final, it's a Premier League civil war, Blackburn vs Manchester United."

"Manchester United is the best player in the Premier League to play in the Champions League. Since winning the Champions League, Manchester United has always been the representative of the Premier League in the Champions League. As for Blackburn, it is an emerging force in the Premier League, and its momentum is stronger than any team in the Premier League."

"Ferguson has always hoped to win another Champions League and then retire decently. And what about George? He has already won the Premier League title for two seasons. As an ambitious new-generation coach, George will definitely not be satisfied with the league The Champions League. For the Champions League, he is definitely on his way."

"One is the representative club of the Premier League in the Champions League, the other is a new force in the Premier League that has emerged from the sky. One is a seasoned world-renowned coach, and the other is a young coach with a sharp edge. The collision between them will definitely be the best."

Martin Taylor commented on the game.

In fact, what Martin Taylor wants to say is that one is an old fox and the other is a young fox. The game between them must be wonderful.

At this time, players from both sides have begun to enter the field.Blackburn fans and Manchester United fans chanted each other's names.There are also the names of the players of both sides.

"Coach Ferguson, who do you think can win this time?"

George came in front of Ferguson with a smile, held his hand and blinked, and asked.

Ferguson was very helpless with George's mischievous appearance.Anyway, George is already a famous coach who has won two Premier League championships, why is he still so childish.But thinking that George is only 33 years old now, Ferguson felt that George should be like this.

"George, I won't retire until I win the Champions League."

Hearing Ferguson's words, George shook his head. "It seems that you have to wait ten or eight years before you want to retire."

"Hahaha, George. Maybe I'll retire next season?" Ferguson laughed.

The two of them didn't look like they were about to have a knockout match.Instead, it's the same as seeing old friends who haven't seen each other for a long time.

"Haha, look at Ferguson and George. Andy, tell me, what will they say?" Martin Taylor saw George and Ferguson talking cordially from the live TV.George smiled slightly, while Ferguson laughed loudly.

So I asked Andy Gray, my partner next to me.

"I think George must have told Ferguson that the world now belongs to our young people. Then Ferguson told him that ginger is still hot."

As they spoke, Martin Taylor and Andy Gray burst out laughing.

Ferguson and George have too many things to laugh about.

One is a world-class coach who single-handedly built the Premier League overlord Manchester United, and the other is a young coach who spent four years building a championship team.And it is not without grievances between the two teams.

Back then Jack Walker invested heavily, and Dalglish finally snatched the Premier League title from Ferguson by one point in the 94-95 season.At that time, Manchester United was unrivaled in the Premier League, completely sweeping the English football world, without any opponents.

It was Blackburn who broke the mold.

Later, in the 98-99 season, George failed to allow Manchester United to win the Triple Crown because of blocking Manchester United.This kind of grievance is counted, it is not just one or two.

So don't look at it as a Premier League civil war, but the game is still highly valued by European football.
