Chapter 299

After the draw, the second round of the group stage will begin immediately.

On November 11, Blackburn will start playing the second round of the group stage.

On this day George led Blackburn to the cold Moscow.For Moscow, George has a deep impression.When I led Blackburn to Moscow last season to challenge Spartak Moscow, the weather was extremely cold.

It is now November, and like last time, the temperature here is already very low.

The game last season made the Blackburn players very uncomfortable.

After one experience, although I still can't adapt to the cold weather in Moscow.But everyone was mentally prepared, so there was no mad attack on the opponent after the opening.Instead pour the ball slowly and acclimate yourself to the current weather first.

Blackburn's strength is obviously higher than that of Spartak Moscow.There is no doubt about it.

When the Blackburn players adapted to the cold weather, they began to show the strength of the team.Instead of being at a loss in the cold weather like last time.

Hleb, who was outstanding at Old Trafford in the previous game, was sent on by George.George saw that Hleb was a Belarusian player, so he was sent.Fortunately, Hleb is a Belarusian player, and he is very adaptable to this cold weather.At such low temperatures, Hleb was not affected at all.

If we say that in the Premier League, Hleb's breakthrough is still subject to some restrictions.After all, the Premier League is fast-paced, with fierce steals and fast speed.These Russian defenders have all the shortcomings of the English defenders, but they don't have the advantages of the English defenders.

Like the English defenders, they were a bit clumsy, slow to turn and slow to recover.At best, the header is okay.

But compared to the England defenders, they have a lot of shortcomings.That is not decisive at all in defense.Although the English defenders have various problems, they are extremely fierce in frontal defense, and their ability to defend frontally is also good.The most important thing is that the England defender steals very quickly and will never procrastinate.

It's a pity that the Russian defender has not learned the strengths of the English defender in this regard.When defending, it is not decisive but grinding.

Therefore, Hleb's various extraordinary skills are easy to handle.Facing the wooden Russian defender, he is more and more comfortable.

"How is this kid?" George said to Evan next to him showing off.

When George wanted to use the special talent clause to introduce Hleb, Evan still persuaded George.Although Evan is very convinced of George's vision, after all, it is the first time to use the special genius clause, and Evan hopes that George will be more cautious.

Now that George asked, of course Evan would not admit defeat.

"It will be silly, lacking the overall situation. Shooting is not good. In the future, you need to train hard. It will take two or three years to really become an important member of the team." Hearing Evan's faint words, George laughed loudly. laugh.

Evan, like George, is a hard-talking master.

George didn't continue talking to Evan.Instead, he turned his head and said to Carl: "Carl, Evan is right. Alexander's training depends on you. How much Alexander can achieve in the future depends on your training results."

"Don't worry, I will give you a good player who can lead and pass within two years." Carl's answer every time is convincing.

"It's not enough to be able to carry and pass, but also to be able to shoot. An attacking midfielder who can't shoot is useless."

"You can rest assured about this. I will strengthen his shooting ability."

While George was chatting with Evan and Carl, Blanco scored the first goal of the game with a free kick.In the second half, with a counterattack from Bellamy, he scored another goal for Spartak Moscow.

In this game, George actually rested many main players.Including Micoud, Deco, Pires, and Klose did not play.George is already very satisfied with letting the main players rest and winning the game.

In the away game, they defeated Spartak Moscow [-]-[-].It can be regarded as a good start for the second round of the group stage.

At another venue, Bayern Munich beat Galatasaray [-]-[-].

Blackburn ranked first in the second round of the group stage by virtue of their goal advantage.

George's complaints about the dense schedule are definitely not fake.Just two days after his return from Moscow, George was due to play West Ham at home.

Things have been tough for West Ham recently.Or Redknapp's day is difficult.In fact, it is definitely not that Redknapp's results are poor. Redknapp's results in leading West Ham United are very good.According to West Ham United's investment and the support of the board of directors, it is not easy for Redknapp to lead West Ham United to the current results.

And Redknapp has cultivated a large group of young talents in West Ham United.

Including Ferdinand, who is now at Blackburn, as well as Lampard, Carrick, and Joe Cole, are all figures who will dominate the English football in the future.

However, Redknapp and West Ham United's top management are very at odds.The two sides have conflicts from time to time, and many media are waiting for when Redknapp will leave West Ham United.With Redknapp's contacts in English football and his achievements in West Ham United, he is definitely not afraid of not having a new job.

The head coach and the club's top management did not deal with it, and of course it seriously affected the team's record.

The current West Ham United has even fallen to the lowest point in the past few seasons.The current West Ham United is only ranked No.14 in the Premier League.

For this kind of team, George will never sympathize.On the contrary, George likes to bully this kind of team.All the main players who didn't even play in the Champions League game played in the last game, and they directly beat West Ham United [-]-[-].

Manchester United, who just returned from the Champions League, also performed well, beating Derby County [-]-[-] away.Of course, Manchester United's performance in the Champions League is also good.I met the German team Hamburg who just broke out from the death group and knocked out Barcelona.

Ferguson's Manchester United performed extremely bravely, and they defeated Hamburg [-]-[-] in the away game.

After playing such a high-intensity game, returning to the Premier League still has such good results.

The saddest one is Arsenal.Arsenal drew a group of death in the second round of the Champions League group stage.In the first round, they lost to Real Madrid [-]-[-] at home.This is not the worst.After all, Real Madrid is the best team in Europe in recent seasons.

The saddest thing is that just after losing to Real Madrid, Arsenal lost to Leeds United [-]-[-] away in the Premier League.It's like the league and the Champions League are all over the place.

The aftereffects of Arsenal being drawn into the death group began to appear.In the first round of the group stage, it actually had a great impact on Arsenal.Unexpectedly, in the second round of the group stage, they entered the death group again.

This greatly distracted Arsenal's energy.

Arsenal now want to break out of the group stage and also want to get a good ranking in the Premier League.Worry about gains and losses, but worse grades.

On the contrary, the current Manchester United and Blackburn, although the group stage of the two teams is not easy.But much better than Arsenal.So it's perfectly possible to have a very efficient rotation.

Since then, Arsenal have failed to win in the Premier League for two consecutive rounds.From only two points behind Blackburn, it has now become seven points behind.The points are the same as Manchester United.

After fifteen rounds of the league, Blackburn has [-] points.Dominate the league standings.

Based on Blackburn's current good performance in the Premier League and the Champions League, George's emphasis on the League Cup is getting lower and lower.

Blackburn ushered in the fourth round of the League Cup three days later.An away game against Crystal Palace in League One.

Crystal Palace is just the most common club in England.It has a history of nearly a hundred years, but the honor room is empty.There is simply no score that can be taken.But for Chinese fans, Crystal Palace is also like thunder.

why?
Because Crystal Palace is the team played by Chinese players Fan Zhiyi and Sun Jihai in England.And Fan Zhiyi even served as the captain of Crystal Palace.Now Fan Zhiyi is still playing in Crystal Palace.

This time George played as a first-team substitute and some youth teams mixed.But George doesn't pay much attention to the League Cup, and Crystal Palace doesn't pay much attention to the League Cup.Crystal Palace is now ranked 22nd in League One and has not yet left the relegation zone.

Where do they have the energy to take care of the League Cup?So they even sent a group of substitutes.

Blackburn's substitutes all have the main strength of the Premier League's mid-tier teams.Facing Crystal Palace, which has no fighting spirit, Blackburn's substitutes played harder.In the end, they defeated Crystal Palace [-]-[-] and entered the fifth round of the League Cup.

This is something that George absolutely did not expect.

And George could only smile wryly.In George's heart, he hopes to give up the League Cup.This allows us to concentrate on playing the league and the Champions League.But now it has passed two rounds and entered the fifth round of the League Cup.

Has entered the fifth round of the League Cup, which has to make George pay attention.Because as long as the fifth round is passed, it will be the semi-finals of the League Cup.There are now just three games to go before the Carabao Cup final.

That's basically the end of it.It would be a pity to give up the League Cup at this time. After all, the League Cup champion is also a champion, isn't it?
More importantly, none of the eight teams left in the current League Cup is particularly strong.Now among the remaining eight teams, the most powerful is none other than Liverpool.Apart from Liverpool, no other team is strong.

This is a mouthful of fat.As long as they beat Liverpool, the League Cup champion is almost inseparable.

George hesitated again at this time.

However, George was not given much chance to hesitate.Because he just finished the fourth round of the League Cup, he went to face Arsenal away.

It's hard for Arsenal!
The highlight of the game against Blackburn is December 12, and on the fourth day after the game against Blackburn, they will go away to play the second game of the second round of the group stage against Lazio.This kind of devil's schedule, how can we not let Wenger go crazy.

But George liked it.

In fact, Blackburn will also fight a tough battle four days later.Bayern Munich at home.But George takes Arsenal more seriously.Even if Bayern lost the game, they still have chances in the future.Just break through.But in the league, George is now unwilling to give up a game.
