Chapter 421 Knockout is my back garden

With a [-]-[-] victory over Valencia at home, George can be regarded as revenge for being eliminated that year.Valencia has only one point in three rounds, Roma has three points and Ajax has four points.Apart from Blackburn's nine points, their points are not very high.

And Blackburn relied on the victory of this game to consolidate the first position in the group.

Many European media were surprised by Blackburn's outstanding performance in the group of death.Although the current strength of the other three teams cannot be regarded as the best in Europe.But also quite tyrannical.

Valencia was the champion of La Liga last season, Ajax's young talents made all European football clubs crazy, and Roma was also the champion of Serie A last season.These three teams are obviously strong European teams, but facing the defending champion Blackburn turned out to have no resistance at all.

This has caused many European media to change their tone.

At the beginning of the season, not only the British football media, but even the media of other national teams in Europe believed that Blackburn's sale of Deco and Makelele was a big mistake.Deco and Makelele do not look as dazzling as Micoud, Pires, and Klose, but their effects must not be inferior to them.

Of course, Deco's attention is much higher than that of Makelele.

After all, Deco is the midfield commander responsible for Blackburn's offensive and defensive transitions.Many people think that Deco's departure from Blackburn will definitely throw Blackburn's offense into chaos.At the beginning of the season, as they said, Blackburn did encounter many problems.

But now all skeptical voices are gone.

Because Blackburn told them with the best performance that although Blackburn has lost strength, it is still a strong team in European football.Still the champions of the Champions League.

Like the current group, don't talk about Blackburn.Even Real Madrid and Milan dare not say that they can break through the group stage so easily.Unexpectedly, Blackburn is so easy to occupy the first position in the group stage.

After playing the Valencia game, Blackburn challenged Chelsea away.

Chelsea have performed well in recent seasons.

Ranieri is definitely one of the best coaches in European football.Of course George thought so.

Although George looked down on a coach without a championship like Ranieri in his heart, George still recognized Ranieri's ability.Especially his ability to integrate the team.Integrating the team, Ancelotti and Mourinho were all excellent coaches later.

But Ranieri also has his own way.

Whether it was in Valencia or after Chelsea.You can cook whatever dishes you have with as many ingredients as you have.In this regard, George has to bow down.

When Ranieri took charge of Chelsea, Chelsea had already reached the point of falling apart.Especially the old players, they are domineering in the locker room and don't accept the head coach at all.It was at this time that Ranieri took over Chelsea.

But within a short period of time, Ranieri has fully integrated Chelsea.

The current Chelsea combat effectiveness is not weak.Has been hitting the top four positions.

If the Premier League has been divided into one level in recent years, then Manchester United, Blackburn, and Arsenal are the top three in the Premier League.These three teams not only have stable records in Europe, but also have stable results in the Premier League.It has always been the first team in the Premier League.

In addition to these top three, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Newcastle are all competing for No.4.Especially the reform of the Champions League. After the Premier League has four places, the competition for No.4 is becoming more and more fierce.Now No.4 is the competition of these three teams.

This is the current Premier League structure.

Being able to bring Chelsea, which is about to fall apart, to this point, Ranieri's ability is evident.It's a pity that Ranieri has only these skills, and he always misses the championship.

In the away game, George doesn't care about other people's eyes.

Alonso rests.George used the double midfielder formation of Hargreaves and Essien, and then used the combination of Kaka, Duff and Micoud in front.The striker is Defoe, a young teenager.Played an obvious defensive counterattack.

Ranieri certainly has a deep understanding of Blackburn.

So let Petit closely follow Kaka.Yes, that's Petit.This midfielder who shined in Wenger's hands made Barcelona gnash their teeth after arriving in Barcelona.Because Petit's transfer fee is very expensive, but after arriving in Barcelona, ​​his performance cannot be compared with that of Arsenal.

So Barcelona threw Pettit to Chelsea.

Although Pettit's strength has declined a lot, he is experienced.Although Kaka cannot be completely defended, the interference with Kaka is still very successful.But Blackburn is not the only Kaka this.

As a defensive midfielder, Pettit just stared at Kaka, so it would be difficult for others to defend.

Duff, who is active on both sides, is not such a good defensive player.Facing Melchiot and Lesaux, Duff is completely in the dark.On Chelsea's two wings, no one can defend Duff at all.

Ranieri put most of the defense on Kaka.

This led to the enlivening of others.Miku had two assists in the midfield, both of which were given to Duff on the wing.Duff rode through the barrier alone, broke into the penalty area from the wing, and scored two goals.Defoe, who was very fast, also scored a goal in the counterattack.

Although Chelsea also scored a goal, it was just a goal for Hasselbaink to save face.

The [-]-[-] away game made George excited.

The "flying boots" incident definitely has an impact on Manchester United.If anyone says that the conflict between Ferguson and Beckham has no impact on Manchester United, it is definitely a joke.And this time the "flying boot door" incident was so big that Beckham and Ferguson almost completely turned their faces.

In history, Beckham still had a little chance to play, but now he has no chance at all.

The impact emerged.In this round of Manchester United's away game against Bolton, they were even tied [-]-[-] by the weak Bolton.The points gap with Blackburn became six points.Ferguson was furious after the game, and even scolded reporters at the press conference after the game.

The match was tied, and Ferguson, who had already become angry from embarrassment, could not tolerate being asked about Beckham by reporters.

Ferguson is definitely not a good-tempered coach.So at the press conference, he swears at the reporter severely.When Ferguson got angry, he had everything to say.All kinds of swear words come casually.

Seeing this situation, George showed his white teeth, and persuaded him kindly: "Coach Ferguson, you should change your temper. As you get older, if you lose your temper like this all the time, it will be bad for your health. For your own health Think about it, and don't be angry."

"Look at the Liverpool manager, Mr Houllier. I don't want Ferguson to be in hospital for the same reason."

George is afraid that the world will not be chaotic.George's sneering and cynicism made the Manchester media furious.But there is no way, George is not the only one who is ridiculed now.It's just that George is the most famous, and he is on the front line.

Even after George jumped out, even Wenger came out.Ferguson's old enemy, Wenger also very kindly persuaded Ferguson.Tell him it hurts to be angry.

George looked at Wenger's smiling face and shook his head.How could Wenger be able to make a great reputation in world football, how could it be that simple.

Later, not only George and Wenger, but also many clubs hypocritically came to persuade Ferguson.This made Ferguson furious. When interviewed by the media, he hit back at them: "I have been a head coach for more than 20 years and know how to manage the locker room. I am in good health, and there is no problem in continuing to coach for 20 years."

…………

There are sarcastic voices everywhere in Ferguson right now.The break with Beckham has already given Ferguson a headache.For this group of people who made trouble, Ferguson hated his teeth itchingly.

But after George lit the fire, he immediately withdrew and left.

George has no time, he spends all his time on Manchester United.Because Blackburn is about to face Ajax at home in the fourth game of the Champions League group stage.

Now Blackburn is in a good situation, winning three consecutive games in the first three games and accumulating nine points.George didn't want any accidents to happen under such a good situation.

Against a team like Ajax, George likes it best.

Although many people think that Blackburn is also one of the representatives of artistic football.But George never considered himself an idealist.It is impossible for George to maintain a style of play like Barcelona.Nor will he be a truly idealistic head coach like Wenger.

George has no particular penchant for playing style.As long as you win, nothing matters.

Similarly, George likes teams like Ajax not because of how beautiful they play.But because of playing these teams, George has a lot of experience.For teams like Arsenal, Barcelona, ​​and Ajax, the most powerful thing is their genius attack.Also the most feared is the rough foul.

George didn't care if his rough fouls would cast a shadow on these young talents.In this game, Blackburn's actions were even rougher.This time, not only Van der Vaart was not adapting, but the entire Ajax genius was not adapting.

The game was dull.

Everywhere is a situation where people are turned on their backs.But Blackburn completely messed up Ajax's attack.When Ajax's attack went wrong, things were easy.Klose received Kaka's cross and scored the only goal of the game.

In another game, Valencia beat Roma [-]-[-] away.

In this way, Blackburn accumulated [-] points, Valencia and Ajax accumulated four points, and Roma accumulated three points.Blackburn has already appeared at the top of the group in advance, and the remaining three teams have the possibility of appearing.

George was very proud after the game.

Facing those reporters, he said frantically: "The Champions League knockout match? The Champions League knockout match is my back garden. I can visit whenever I like. Unless I'm tired of it, I can visit my back garden every moment. .it's not a big deal."

George's arrogant face was photographed by the reporter.Then it became the front page of the major media newspapers the next day.
