Chapter 429 Three consecutive championships
"Coach Levi, what do you think about the three Serie A teams entering the semi-finals of the Champions League?"

Just after the game ended, Italian reporters surrounded George.They don't want George to run like he did last time at Ewood Park.One of the Italian reporters asked George maliciously.

Yes, when this game is over, all the Champions League semi-finals list will come out.Juventus drew with Barcelona [-]-[-] away, so extra time was played.In extra time, Juventus' Zarajeta scored a fateful goal.

In the end, Juventus eliminated Barcelona with a goal from Sarajeta in overtime.

On the other side, Inter Milan is very lucky.The home game defeated Ajax [-]-[-]. Although the away game lost [-]-[-] to Ajax, the total score still appeared [-]-[-].

In this way, the top three in Serie A have all entered the top four of the Champions League.Last season, the top three in the Premier League besieged and suppressed Real Madrid, but this season it has become the top three in Serie A to encircle and suppress Real Madrid.The top three in Serie A all entered the top four of the Champions League.This made the Italian journalists proud.

George just glanced at the Italian reporter who asked the question, and answered angrily. "A blind cat meets a dead mouse."

Although George is still mean, the Italian reporter is fine.Because he won the game, George is still stubborn, which is a typical dead duck.Now they hope that George will continue to be stubborn, so that they can have a good laugh at George.

"Coach Levy, both games were lost to Milan without any suspense. Blackburn didn't have a chance in the game. What do you think is the problem?"

As George was walking, he stopped when he saw that he was about to reach the exit.

"Problem? What's the problem. It's just that Milan is luckier than us. Any team in the world can fail. You should first find out why there is no Milan in the Champions League semi-finals in recent years, and then ask us. There is no permanent victor in this world. Losing a game is nothing, and there will be opportunities to meet Milan in the future."

After finishing speaking, George ignored the reporters' questions behind him and left the court.

George knew that this time he was completely defeated.Since it is a failure, there is no reason for it.Losing is losing, and until the next season, the next season, there will always be Milan.It's time to settle accounts with them.

But it is clear that the Italian media is unwilling to let George go.

Compared with Juventus and Inter Milan, the Italian media paid more attention to Milan's victory over Blackburn.Because Blackburn is the Premier League champion team and the defending champion team of the Champions League.Coupled with the grievances between George and Italian football in the past few seasons, how could they let George go.

Relying on the powerful Milan media, there are voices mocking George everywhere.

"Blackburn, but a dark horse. Relying on the opportunity that the opponent is not familiar with, it soars into the sky. After people pay attention to him, Blackburn has no chance again. Against Milan, they have no chance at all. .”

"A dark horse is just a dark horse after all. It is impossible to become a rich man. George Levy thought that he could become a famous European coach with a Champions League champion. It's ridiculous!"

The media in Milan is definitely one of the most powerful in the world.

Berlusconi, the boss of Milan, is the Italian media king.Many important Italian media are in the hands of Berlusconi.Therefore, in the Italian media, most of them support Milan's voice.

Now Milan beat Blackburn.And it was an unsuspecting double kill against Blackburn, which made many media supporting Milan go crazy and sing praises for Milan.

Of course, this wave of Italian media has also blown to England.

There are also some media in England who are surprised that Blackburn lost to Milan so much.

George's biggest enemy in English football, Mark Lawrenson, finally found a good opportunity. "I said at the beginning of the season that Blackburn would be punished for selling Deco and Makelele."

"Look now, the consequence of selling Deco and Makelele is that they have no counterattack against the European giants. If it was Blackburn last season, would they be defeated by Milan so easily? Absolutely not. Possibly. But Blackburn this season? Huh!"

"Young Alonso, can he replace Deco? Proud George, he has already been punished!"

Read between the lines, it looks like nothing.In fact, it was all luck.Of course George understood that.

But although there are many English media, some criticize George.But what they criticized the most was that Blackburn should not have lost to Milan like this.Because it was too surprising, there was no suspense at all, losing to Milan.

Compared with the Italian media, they don't know how much gentler they are.

Because although Blackburn was eliminated by Milan, but Blackburn is in the Premier League, it is very likely that they will be crowned Premier League champions.

So in the eyes of the English media, this is just a miss in the knockout round.

…………

After the Milan game, it will be the No. 30 six rounds of the Premier League.

Blackburn are now five points ahead of Manchester United, with only three league rounds remaining.

This round Blackburn faces West Ham United.

In the 90s of the last century, many talented players who shocked the European football world appeared in the youth training camps of many Premier League teams.Among them are not only the 92 generation of Manchester United, but also the youth army of Leeds United, and the current youth army of West Ham United.West Ham United's youth army is no worse than Leeds United.Even more influential than the players of Leeds United.

Ferdinand, Lampard, Carrick, Joe Cole, Jermain Defoe, Glenn Johnson, these people are the figures who will shake the wind and rain in English football in the next ten years.

It's a pity that although many talented players have been trained, there are very few players staying in West Ham United.

Ferdinand first went to Blackburn Rovers and now Manchester United.Already the core of Manchester United's defense.

Lampard has already moved to Chelsea.Became the main midfielder of Chelsea.

Defoe was also brought to Blackburn by George.

Carrick, Joe Cole and Glenn Johnson stayed at West Ham United.It's a pity that they are all young people, and they are completely incomparable with Ferdinand and Lampard.

As for the head coach of West Ham United, it is George's old acquaintance Rodell.

Rodell, a relegation professional, is now bringing West Ham United to the brink of relegation.George sometimes doesn't understand how so many clubs still invite him when Rodel's performance in leading the team is so poor.

Although lost to Milan, but this did not affect the Blackburn players.

Because the first game was over, they already knew that they would be eliminated.Therefore, being eliminated by Milan, although I was unhappy, I was not as depressed as after the first game.

Facing Rodel's West Ham United, a club that is about to be relegated, is not polite at all.

When Burnley was relegated that year, Rodell was Burnley's coach.Since he can get you down once, George can get Rodel's team down a second time.George was tough on West Ham in midfield.Carrick is good, but he's still a kid.

When George was in the midfield and defended Carrick closely, Carrick's role dropped a lot.And Alonso and Essien's attitude towards Joe Cole was a rough foul.Joe Cole's technique is indeed very good.

But Joe Cole also has a skill player fault.

Joe Cole's biggest problem is that he is too sticky to the ball.And the physical resistance is very poor.So after a certain rough foul on him, Joe Cole was honest right away.The current Joe Cole is not the Joe Cole after being trained by Mourinho.

After restraining Carrick and Joe Cole, George also increased the attack on the wing.

Glenn Johnson's offensive strength is strong, but his defense is mediocre.Pires assisted twice in the game, one to Klose and one to Micoud.Klose and Micoud each scored a goal in a [-]-[-] victory over West Ham United.

Although Rodel's face was expressionless after the game, he was already on the verge of tears.

Rodel looked at George, who was talking and laughing with the Blackburn players, and felt very uncomfortable.Could it be that George is his old enemy.The last time I was in Burnley, I was knocked out of League One by George's Blackburn.

Now coaching West Ham United, he managed to grab so many points.But at the most important time, he was sapped by George's Blackburn again.

George, George!When I met George for the first time, George was still the head coach of League Two, and he was the head coach of League One.It's a pity that he didn't expect that after these years, George has become a famous European coach, and he can only wander around.

If West Ham is relegated this season, I will continue to look for other jobs.Thinking about it, Rodel felt sad.

However, in the game that ended at the same time, Manchester United defeated Tottenham [-]-[-] away.

After the end of the 36th round of the Premier League, Blackburn still leads Manchester United by five points.Five points is not much, but there are only two league rounds left, which is a very big advantage.

All eyes in English football were on 2003 May 5 at Ewood Park.

Because as long as Blackburn wins this round of the game, then Blackburn will win the fourth Premier League championship.No one has paid attention to the games of Manchester United and Arsenal, because now the entire Premier League championship is in Blackburn's grasp.

If Manchester United wants to win the Premier League title this season, it all depends on Blackburn's face.

Blackburn face West Bromwich Albion in this game.

West Bromwich Albion, after the last round, finally relegation.After a good carnival, now facing Blackburn, it is doubtful how much fighting power they have.

Blackburn fans are very enthusiastic.Although they were eliminated from the Champions League knockout rounds, they were very disappointed.But now that they are about to win their fourth Premier League title, they are still in a good mood.So half an hour before the start of the game, Blackburn fans cheered for the team with singing.

"This is the seventh round of No.30 in the Premier League. Blackburn currently leads Manchester United by five points. As long as Blackburn does not lose in this game, according to Blackburn's current goal difference. This season's Premier League championship is secure. If With the victory in this game, Blackburn won the Premier League title ahead of schedule. It is the fourth Premier League title!"
