Chapter 369 Good Luck

"Panathinaikos!"

Following the sound, George jumped up.And it doesn't matter where it is, cheers.Then he hugged Williams next to him fiercely.

Can George not be excited?
This is the draw for the quarter-finals of the Champions League.Blackburn turned out to be the weakest opponent in the Champions League quarter-finals, Panathinaikos from Greece.

How can George not be excited and unhappy.

Not only George, but all the Blackburn fans who followed the draw were cheering.

Several head coaches present looked at George with envy.Because except for George, everyone else is a strong dialogue.

"Panathinaikos! Blackburn got the weakest opponent, Blackburn is really lucky. Blackburn's road to the semi-finals is bright. Is it because of a misjudgment last season? UEFA is Deliberately trying to make it up to Blackburn. Hahaha."

"George is lucky, he will lead the team to the semi-finals soon."

Even Mortensen, the host of the live broadcast of the draw ceremony, lamented Blackburn's good luck.

But when George was hugging Williams, he whispered in his ear: "John, your PR is so beautiful."

The draw for the knockout round of the Champions League looks fair.And UEFA said every day that its draw is fair and there is no inside story.

But as long as there is a person with eyes, who can't see the tricks of this kind of lottery.

Just like in the original history, between the second dream team and the upstart Chelsea, they were drawn together every day.In terms of probability, it is an extremely low probability.But why do they still draw together every day?
To put it bluntly, UEFA is for ratings.

There is money in ratings.

At that time, every time they competed, the ratings were super high.Of course UEFA likes that.It's all money.

So they said every day that their lottery was not tricky.But every time the draw comes out, Barcelona and Chelsea will meet together.Such a lottery, even a child would not believe that there is no black hand of UEFA in it.

That's why George praised Williams' public relations skills.

It's September 3rd.

In fact, George had a very comfortable life throughout March.

Because as long as the Premier League champions are careful, there will be no problems.The Champions League group stage has also appeared.Therefore, throughout the March game, George used various tactics repeatedly.

It is definitely not so easy to practice various tactics in an official game.

But now George has the confidence to do so.But even if George used various tactical play drills, the results are still good.

On March 3, in the eighth round of No.2 in the Premier League, Blackburn faced Bolton at home.

During George's game, it was also the first time this season that Kaka replaced Micoud, playing Micoud's attacking midfielder position.And let Micoud rest off the court.

But in the face of the retreating Bolton, Kaka's performance was not very satisfactory.Instead, Deco in the midfield kept coming forward to organize the attack.George is not very satisfied with Kaka's performance, Kaka is still young.

In Micoud's position, without Micoud's skills and passing, he cannot assume the position of the core of the offense.If you want to become an offensive core like Miku, you need to continue to polish.

But Bolton's strength is too weak.

Kaka, the offensive core of the frontcourt, has fallen into a downturn, but it is still more than enough to beat Bolton.Playing against a team like Bolton, George used Drogba.

Drogba is now the heaviest sense of crisis.

At the beginning of the season, Klose was the main force.But Drogba can also get a very considerable chance to play. Although he can't compare with Klose, he still has two-thirds of Klose's playing time.

Drogba worked hard.But right now it's really not enough.But Drogba did not give up.

After Klose was injured, George loaned Anelka again.But Drogba doesn't care, even if Anelka is the main force, Drogba can still earn a lot of playing time.But recently Drogba really has a sense of crisis.

Because George said, to acquire Anelka.

Drogba is very self-aware.With his current strength, he definitely cannot compete with Klose and Anelka.In this way, his playing time next season will definitely be reduced a lot immediately.

But Drogba is not the kind of complaining, moaning player.Drogba is the kind of player who gets more and more courageous when he gets frustrated.

Therefore, Drogba's performance in training is getting harder and harder.

This game is no exception.Drogba is completely a monster in the frontcourt, playing other defenders dizzy.It's not that Drogba's foot skills are good, and he is dizzy.It was Drogba who hit those defenders with a body comparable to that of a monster.

And during the game, Drogba received a cross from the wing and scored a domineering header.

George looked at Drogba with a smile on his face.There is pressure to be motivated, this sentence is definitely not false.Look at Drogba, when he heard George talking about the introduction of Anelka, his explosive strength far exceeded the usual.

George will not give up Drogba, a World of Warcraft player, and introduce Anelka.However, if Anelka can be used to stimulate Drogba, George is still willing to continue to use Anelka to put pressure on Drogba.

In the 28th round of the Premier League, Blackburn beat Bolton [-]-[-].

Every point Blackburn now earns is one step closer to the Premier League title.

On March 3, Blackburn faced Villa at home.

In this game, George used Drogba and Anelka's double striker lineup.Deco and Miku were placed in the midfield, with Deco at the back and Micoud at the front.An aggressive lineup, but unfortunately without Makelele in defense, the midfield has become Villa's stable.

The two sides came and went, and the fight was very lively.

In the end, it was a two-to-two tie at home.

March 3, away to Barcelona.

George uses defensive midfielders such as veterans McAllister, Hargreaves, and Makelele.George wanted to try his defense.

But Blackburn's defense really hasn't been tested.

Barcelona is very messy, and Barcelona's performance at this time is very poor.The difference is extremely bad, and there are many internal contradictions in the team.In the end, Blackburn drew [-]-[-] with Barcelona in the away game.

On March 3, Blackburn challenged Leeds United away.

Although Leeds United is approaching the brink of collapse, its strength is still strong.I don't know if I want to prove that I still have strength. Anyway, when they played against Blackburn, Leeds United's offensive was very fierce.

Especially Kewell on the left, majestic.

In the game, scored two goals.Leeds United beat Blackburn Rovers [-]-[-] at home.

On March 3th, Blackburn played at home against the last game of the second round group stage of the Champions League.The opponent is Rome from Italy.

The current situation is that Blackburn has accumulated eleven points, the second-ranked Roma has six points, and No.3 Barcelona has three points.No.1 in the Blackburn group stage is a certainty.

George used a lot of substitute players in this game.George wanted them all to feel the atmosphere of the Champions League.

Rome is desperate.Capello also wants to play in the knockout rounds of the Champions League.However, Blackburn's substitute is not easy to bully, but after all, Roma is also very strong.In the end, Blackburn lost [-]-[-] at home.In this way, two teams, Blackburn and Roma, appeared in this group.

Blackburn's last three Premier League games have one win, one draw and one loss, accumulating four points.The state is not very good.However, Arsenal only achieved one win, one draw and one loss in three games.

In this way, at the end of the [-]th round of the Premier League, Blackburn still leads Arsenal by [-] points.Blackburn's top position cannot be shaken at all.

In fact, if Arsenal attack with all their strength, their results will definitely not be just one win, one draw and one loss.A three-game winning streak is no problem at all.

However, Arsenal still have to play in the Champions League group stage, and Wenger's focus has shifted to the Champions League.

Arsenal's Champions League group stage is the real group of death.

But when Wenger shifted his focus to the Champions League, he still broke through from this group.Especially after the game against Blackburn, in the fourth round of the Champions League group stage, Arsenal defeated Leverkusen [-]-[-].

Arsenal's position in the group was instantly stabilized.

Immediately after the fifth round, Arsenal drew with Deportivo one to one.In the just-concluded sixth round, Arsenal drew [-]-[-] away with Juventus.Finally got a qualifying spot.

Among Arsenal's group, Arsenal and Leverkusen appeared.

…………

After returning from the draw ceremony, Blackburn played away to Leicester City on March 3.

Speaking of which, this is just an ordinary game.However, George did not have any main players in the starting lineup, and all came off the bench.Because the Champions League knockout round will be played in four days, although the opponent is Panathinaikos from Greece, George still has no carelessness.

It may be the good news of the draw that motivates the players.

Although it is a substitute, it is still a two-to-zero lead.

With 10 minutes left in the second half, Klose, who had been absent for five months, returned to play.

George's request for Klose is simple.It is to let him feel the game and find out the rhythm of the game.But don't get hurt.

After five months without playing, Klose conceded several goals after playing.But George didn't care, after all, he had rested for more than five months.In the end, Blackburn beat Leicester City [-]-[-] away.

George was satisfied with the victory of the game, and George was even more satisfied when Klose came back.

George can't wait to hope that Klose will attack the team for the team.But this can't be rushed, you need to take it step by step.As long as Klose returns, George will have more options in the frontcourt.

This is already the No.30 round of the Premier League.

With only seven league rounds remaining in the game, Blackburn still leads Arsenal by [-] points.

　There are only two more.Sorry for not being able to write last night.
