Chapter 365 This is the final
time flies.

In the blink of an eye, it was late February.

Today is February 2.

Ewood Park, today is crowded with people.Of course, Blackburn's home games have always been like this, but today's game has an exceptionally large number of fans.And not so much.There are tens of thousands of fans outside the stadium who have not received tickets.

What game is it today?
In fact, it is a league, a Premier League.But the Blackburn fans were enthusiastic.

Not only Blackburn fans, but even a lot of reporters came to the scene today.There are reporters from more than 60 media and newspapers, and the number even exceeds 200.The extent of this scale is almost the same as the number of reporters in the English League Cup and the English FA Cup finals.Even more than those finals.

What game is getting so much attention.

Of course it is the game that decides the fate of the Premier League.This is a match between Premier League No.1 and Premier League No.2.

Blackburn hosts Arsenal.

In the first match between the two teams this season, Blackburn and Arsenal played offensive football.In the end it was a high score of three to three.At that time, the situation in the Premier League was not very clear.

But now the situation in the Premier League is becoming more and more clear.

Blackburn, ranked first, is already far behind the other teams in the Premier League.For example, Liverpool and Manchester United were left behind by Blackburn by nearly [-] points.But it doesn't mean that Blackburn's Premier League title is secure.

Because there is another Arsenal.

During this period of time, both Blackburn and Arsenal are in good condition.

Blackburn has achieved two wins, one draw and one loss in the four rounds of the Premier League.

Among the 23 rounds of the Premier League, Blackburn was defeated by Manchester United 24-25 away.In the [-] rounds of the Premier League, Blackburn beat West Ham United [-]-[-] away.Among the [-] rounds of the Premier League, Blackburn beat Fulham [-]-[-] away.

In the last round of the league, they were tied [-]-[-] by Ipswich Town at home.Seven points from four games.

Although the result is not the best, it is not too bad.

As for Arsenal, they played five games during this period.Because there is still a make-up match for the 21st round of the Premier League.

Arsenal challenged Leeds United away in the 23rd round of the Premier League, but was tied 21-[-] by Leeds United, which had a poor performance this season.Immediately afterwards, there was a make-up match for the [-]st round of the Premier League. Arsenal defeated Leicester City [-]-[-] away.

In the following 24 rounds of the Premier League, Arsenal were even tied [-]-[-] by Southampton at home.

Fortunately, Arsenal won the next 25 Premier League rounds and 26 Premier League rounds.They beat Everton [-]-[-] away and Fulham [-]-[-] at home.

Arsenal are in really good form.Five games have achieved three wins and two draws, and scored eleven points.

In this way, the 26 rounds of the Premier League are over, and the gap between Blackburn and Arsenal is only ten.

Ten, looks like a lot.After all, it is a double-digit gap.But it is only a gap of four games.

So this game has become extremely important.

Of course it seems so to many people.Because Arsenal won, then the gap can be reduced to seven points.That's the difference between three games.After this round, there are eleven rounds left in the Premier League.

Although seven points is still a gap of three games.But in eleven rounds, anything can happen.

But once Arsenal loses this game, there is basically no suspense in this season's Premier League.Because once Blackburn wins this game, the gap between Blackburn and Arsenal is thirteen points.

Thirteen points, a gap of five games.

Eleven rounds remain.Arsenal also have an away game against Manchester United, an away game against Newcastle, and an away game against Villa.The schedule is not easy.Of course, Blackburn also has an away game against Liverpool and an away game against Leeds United.

But on the whole, there is no particularly strong team for Blackburn's opponents in the remaining eleven rounds of the league.

No matter what Blackburn said, it is impossible to lose five games.Even if they lose five games, can Arsenal win all the remaining games?
In other words, once Blackburn wins this game.So this season's Premier League is basically settled.Thirteen points, with eleven rounds remaining, it is impossible for Arsenal to catch up.

Therefore, today the fans are enthusiastic and the reporters are also enthusiastic.

"I don't want to tell you that this game is an ordinary league, such hypocritical words. It is nonsense to say that. I want to tell you that this is a final. A final that cannot be lost."

In the locker room, George opened his mouth wide and spoke loudly.

"Of course, you can also say that we lead by so many points anyway. Even if we lose this game, we still have the initiative." George has rarely been so excited in the locker room this season.

"But I'm going to tell you guys. I value this game not because we lose the league title because we lose it. No, it's not like that! Let me tell you, the Premier League title this season is already in our pockets, It doesn’t matter whether the game is won or lost.”

"But I still emphasize this game so much, why? Why do I say this game is a final that cannot be lost?"

"Because as long as we win this game, it will completely destroy Arsenal's extravagant hopes and make Arsenal completely desperate. We have also completely locked the Premier League championship! I am not thinking of a league, because we not only want to play the Premier League, We also have to play in the Champions League."

"We only need to win this game. Then we can focus our energy on the Champions League. Do you understand what I mean? The Premier League is a must, and the Champions League is also a must!"

Hearing George's words, all the players below raised their chests and their faces were very excited.

Yes.

How difficult it is to take care of both the Champions League and the league.But as long as this game is won, then you can focus all your energy on the Champions League.

The Champions League is the highest honor for European clubs.Who wouldn't want it?

If it was placed a year or two ago, who among them would dare to think about the Champions League.But it's different now, everyone's spirits are high now.How to say Blackburn is also a team that has won the UEFA Cup and the Premier League.

If it wasn't for a misjudgment last year, there would be no problem for Blackburn to reach the semi-finals.

Once in the Final Four, who knows what will happen.

So when George said about the Champions League, what everyone thought was not a burden.On the contrary, the players below were all excited.

"Do you want just one league title, or do you want to go both ways?"

"Head, of course I want both."

Sagnol quickly stood up to express his determination. "I have already won the Premier League title, and I want to taste the taste of the Champions League title."

"Okay, Willie. Good point."

What George likes most about Sagnol is that Sagnol can cooperate well with George every time.Good eyesight.

"But the championship does not fall from the sky. We need to fight for it. So I want to tell you that if we lock the league earlier, we will have more energy to play in the Champions League."

"Go out now and destroy Arsenal. Make them lose their hope of the league!"

George waved his hand.

"Kill Arsenal!"

"Kill Arsenal!"

The Blackburn players were all very excited by George's words.

Yes.A Premier League champion is already unable to satisfy these players.Their pursuit is bigger and higher, and the Champions League is their ultimate goal.

Looking at the backs of these players, George is very satisfied.

For this game, George played all off the bench in the Champions League group stage two days ago.

Two days ago, on February 2, the Champions League restarted.

Blackburn is playing at home against their rival Galatasaray in recent seasons.I don't know what happened. After Blackburn entered the European competition, they will meet this Turkish team every year.But this team is different every year.

Galatasaray, who played the UEFA Cup final with Blackburn, is the most powerful.

After that, Galatasaray's strength became weaker and weaker, and it was already the weakest this season.Regardless of entering the second round of the group stage, they have sold many leading stars in these three seasons.And many old stars are already old.

Including their midfield superstar, Romanian star Haji has also retired.

Although it is a full-scale substitute, Blackburn's strength is still not weak.McAllister, whose playing time has plummeted this season, scored the only goal of the game with a free kick.

In other words, in the second round of the Champions League group stage, Blackburn won three games and three wins in the first three rounds.Nine points were accumulated, while Barcelona and Roma drew one to one.In this group stage, Blackburn topped the list with nine points, and the remaining three teams have accumulated two points.

Therefore, Blackburn's entry into the quarter-finals of the Champions League is already a certainty.

Soon to enter the quarter-finals of the Champions League, the fire in George's heart is getting stronger and stronger.

Champions League, George drools when he thinks about it.Therefore, George is bound to win this game.As long as he wins this game, George really has no worries in the league.Arsenal is not Manchester United, Wenger is not Ferguson.

As long as the game is lost, Wenger will definitely have a very wise choice.It will not bite Blackburn like Ferguson's Manchester United.

…………

As the Blackburn players filed out, Ewood Park was suddenly cheered.And as the on-site commentator shouted the name of every Blackburn player, the fans at Ewood Park also shouted the player's name.

This group of fans had already started singing loudly from the first half hour of the game.Cheer for the team.

They all know the importance of this game.

Win it, win it.Then Blackburn is back-to-back champions.

If they win, Blackburn will surpass Arsenal and become the team that has won three Premier League titles.

This kind of cheers shocked the audience even more when George came out.This time, the Blackburn fans chanted "George! George!" without waiting for the commentator's voice.

George smiled and waved to the fans on the field.

George's action attracted wild cheers from the fans.
