Chapter 450 Appearance
"We live in a league that encourages diving. It's wrong. I don't want to cause personal attacks. But this is a penalty that shouldn't be awarded. It's completely unwarranted." Wenger was very angry after the game.

"The cost of diving is too low. I think if we don't correct this mistake, soon the Premier League and European football will be surrounded by diving."

Wenger was critical of the penalty created by Drogba.

Fortunately, George didn't get cheap and act good.Otherwise, the angry Wenger might really quarrel with George on the spot.The most terrible thing is when an honest person gets angry.So George did not stimulate Wenger at all after the game.

People are always like this.

The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

Arsenal's excellent performance this season has made Wenger have great expectations for this team.Arsene Wenger will be looking to beat Blackburn at home to a victory over the Premier League champions.Although English football is not as fond of Blackburn as Manchester United, Liverpool, and Arsenal.

But they also admit that Blackburn is the best team in the Premier League since the new century.

After all, the three Premier League titles in the new century were all won by Blackburn.

Therefore, Wenger also hopes to defeat such an opponent at home, so that his players can build new confidence.But it is a pity that the game was lost, so Wenger is in a bad mood now.

Fortunately, at the press conference, the reporter was not only interested in Delo's diving.I am more interested in Kaka's beautiful long-distance raid.

Kaka's goal is really wonderful.This kind of goal, it is impossible to have several times in a season.Therefore, many reporters are more curious about this goal.It also dilutes Drogba's diving in this game.

Whether Wenger is angry or not, George simply doesn't care.

As long as the game is won, George is happy.

This is Arsenal's most glorious season, an unbeaten season full of passion.It's a pity that the undefeated season will never appear again.

Goodbye, undefeated season!

…………

After the away win over Arsenal, George had no time to rest.

Because five days later, Blackburn will go away to play Monaco.Don't look at this as just a Champions League group stage, but for Blackburn, this is a very important game.This game is related to whether Blackburn can emerge from the group stage.

George never thought that he would have such a moment in the Champions League group stage.It depends on the last game to decide whether to emerge from the group stage.

Monaco, speaking of which, there are quite a few good players.Evra, Giuly, and Rothen, who are still in the Monaco lineup, are all world-class players.Not to mention Henry and Trezeguet, who are now popular in the Premier League and Serie A.

Even for Blackburn, the current left and right full-backs Sagnol and Riise were both introduced by George from Monaco.

So it doesn't matter that Monaco fans come to the stadium.

Monaco has already appeared early anyway.And also locked the No.1 position in the group stage.So Monaco fans are already quite happy.It doesn't matter if you win or lose the last game.

Not only that, Monaco fans don't hate Blackburn at all.Speaking of which, there are two clubs in England that are very popular with French fans.

One is Wenger's Arsenal.

Wenger himself is a French marshal.The relationship with French football is inextricably linked, and there are countless French players in Arsenal.Just talking about the main players of the French national team, there are Vieira, Henry, and Dalma.

If we talk about some substitute players, then Wiltord and Mex are on the list.

Of course, Arsenal's former Petit, they are all very popular players in France.

In addition to Arsenal, another club belongs to Blackburn.

Blackburn's relationship with France also runs deep.

When George reorganized Blackburn, it was built with French players as the framework.The development of Micoud and Pires in the national team is not very good, but it does not mean that they are not well-known in France.

Especially Pires.

Pires is a player that French fans like very much.In addition to Zidane and Henry, Pires' popularity is quite high.

Therefore, Blackburn is also a very popular club in France.There is hardly any difference between Monaco and France.Therefore, Blackburn is also quite popular in Monaco.

This time the Monaco fans came to watch the game.Not for victory or defeat.

When George came to Monaco, he never expected that so many fans would welcome Blackburn.Although it is not as good as the home game, it is rare for an away game to be welcomed by so many fans.So George was happy anyway.

But joy is not only this.George was even more excited when he saw the lineup that Deschamps sent.Because Deschamps made many of the main players sit on the bench.In Monaco's starting lineup, there are only a few main players, and the rest are Monaco's substitute players.

Cope with a strong taste.

George thought Deschamps was a very stubborn person.

Deschamps is a tough guy on the court.Although he is small, he is a rare iron waist in world football.

So George believes that Deschamps will never do that kind of rotation.Even if the group stage has already appeared, they will fight hard with Blackburn.Tell Blackburn, Monaco is not a soft persimmon.

Especially the loss to Blackburn in the first game, Deschamps is estimated to be unconvinced.

But seeing the starting roster, George realized that Deschamps was a smart man.

Deschamps is definitely not the kind of person who doesn't care about anything.Deschamps is a sensible person, otherwise Deschamps would be a coach.

The last game is very important for Blackburn.It is also very important for PSV, but it is a tasteless game for Monaco.Locked in the No.1 group, and still slammed against Blackburn, that's what a fool can do.

Although Deschamps vowed before the game that even if it is the last game, he will never let the water go.Eindhoven also asked Monaco to play the last game seriously.But Deschamps is not that stupid.

Even if you play hard, you may not be able to win.Even if it is a victory, it will not be of any benefit to Monaco.Deschamps is of course unwilling to do such things that harm others and benefit himself.

Deschamps also wants to win the Ligue [-] title.

Monaco is now No.2 in Ligue [-].Monaco has not won the Ligue [-] title for several seasons.Deschamps is unwilling to give up the Ligue [-] title this season.

This kind of tasteless competition is not cost-effective to waste energy.Therefore, Deschamps obviously replaced many main players.

George is happy.

I can't stop thanking Deschamps in my heart.Although George is fully prepared for this game, George is of course very willing to win at a small price.

But you can't underestimate them just because the opponent is a substitute player.After all, for the sake of performance, substitute players are sometimes more devoted.

This worry completely dissipated after the game started.

The strength of Monaco's substitute players is really too weak.Can't control the ball at all.

Five minutes into the game, Kaka, who was in hot form recently, assisted Pires to score the first goal.

With the first ball, the game is very easy to run.

Less than 10 minutes from the first goal, Blackburn's second goal came.Riise's long-range free kick scored Blackburn's second goal of the game.

After the second goal, George let the excited players stabilize.

Anyway, it's already two to zero.

There is no need to beat the opponent into a sieve.Deschamps gave him face, but he had to give him face.And after this game is over, it will be England's Christmas schedule immediately.That's the real tight schedule.

Save a little energy now, and it will be good to play Premier League games then.

Blackburn stayed strong, and Monaco also stayed strong.Both sides are passing and controlling the ball very tacitly. Anyway, there are not many threatening offenses.If you watch the game, many people will think that this game is a tacit ball.But to be honest, the Monaco substitute may have other ideas before the one-to-zero match.

But after one to zero and two to zero, it was obvious that Monaco and Blackburn were playing in harmony.

A tacit ball is a good result for both parties.This kind of thing can only be understood but not expressed in words.Although many people criticize tacit understanding of the ball as unsportsmanlike, but this kind of thing is different from buying a ball or a referee, and you can't find any evidence.

So you can criticize tacit ball, but you can't find evidence of tacit ball.

And playing tacit ball is obviously just a tacit understanding between the two parties.If you love me, what can others do to me?

The game went surprisingly well.Blackburn easily beat Monaco [-]-[-] away.Got the second qualifying place in this group.

George is very happy here.

But Eindhoven was full of anger.Especially Hiddink.

Eindhoven believes that Monaco has released the water.Eindhoven couldn't help being angry.They still have hope of qualifying in the final round.But in the end there was nothing.Quite disappointed of course.

George doesn't care, Deschamps doesn't care.Although the criticism from PSV Eindhoven was getting louder and louder, Deschamps didn't even respond at all.

However, with December 12, the Champions League group stage is all over.After the Champions League has become a group stage, it is no longer a multi-year.It will end in half a year, and then it will be a knockout round if it starts again.

The list of the top sixteen of the Champions League also appeared.

Among them, the top teams in the group stage are Lyon, Arsenal, Monaco, Juventus, Manchester United, Real Madrid, Sparta Prague and AC Milan.Among these teams are Blackburn's opponents.

Arsenal and Manchester United are teams in the same league. Based on the principle of avoidance, it is impossible for Blackburn to meet them.Monaco are opponents in the same group stage and will not meet.

In other words, Arsenal's opponents in the top sixteen will encounter Lyon, Juventus, Real Madrid, Sparta Prague, and AC Milan.George hopes to meet Sparta Prague, the weakest team.
