Chapter 461
After defeating Juventus, George was complacent at once.

We are now in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

George was very happy when he returned to England.Of course, Wenger is equally excited.

Arsenal is now the most watched team in Europe.In the Premier League, it is currently at the top of the list.And the performance is very good, already far away from all competitors.Whether it is Blackburn, Manchester United or Chelsea, they have all been left behind by double digits by Arsenal.

Arsenal has basically booked the Premier League championship this season.

In the current Premier League in the mid-to-late 90s, when Manchester United and Arsenal were fighting for hegemony.

In the current Premier League, every strong team is a European powerhouse.Including Manchester United, Blackburn, Chelsea, which one is famous in European football.But they are now in the Premier League and are completely suppressed by Arsenal.

Everyone can imagine the strength of Arsenal.

And Arsenal is not the kind of team that is an expert in civil wars and an amateur in foreign wars.In the Champions League, Arsenal's performance has always been very good.In the group stage, he counterattacked and played Inter Milan [-]-[-] away. That game really shocked the European football world.

Now Arsenal have also entered the quarter-finals of the Champions League as they wished.

Arsenal are now among the best odds of winning the Champions League.

There is only one person in the Premier League team at this time, and he can only frown.

That's Ferguson.

Because the first upset of the Champions League this season appeared.

Manchester United were held to a [-]-[-] draw by Porto at home.Lost two to three in two rounds.The powerful Manchester United actually lost to Porto from Portugal.Ferguson, a famous European coach, lost to a fledgling Mourinho.

This became the first big upset in the Champions League this season.

Porto is famous.

Manchester United is a tragedy.

Ferguson has been under a lot of pressure in recent seasons.Because Manchester United has not won any important championships for four seasons.Not to mention the Champions League, there is not even a league title.Manchester United even had no choice but to use a League Cup to save their lives last season.

Because Manchester United's results are too poor.

Even among Manchester United fans, there have already begun to be voices that Ferguson is old and hope that he will leave get out of class.It is conceivable how much pressure Ferguson is under now.

Unexpectedly, this season, Manchester United is another tragedy.

It was almost [-] points behind by Arsenal, and it was even eliminated by Porto, which no one looked up to in the Champions League.

Suddenly Ferguson became the target of public criticism.

Everyone is blaming Ferguson, thinking that Ferguson is old.There are still many British media who believe that Beckham's departure is the reason for Manchester United's decline this season.Although the newly joined Ronaldinho has excellent personal ability, his skills are also fancy.

But it's too bad to put it in the team.He only knows how to show off his skills blindly, but it doesn't help the team in any way.

This is completely incomparable with Beckham.

Of course, this is the idea of ​​the British media.But this is the common thinking of many people at present.Ronaldinho, are you strong?

Ronaldinho is nothing more than a talented boy playing on a bicycle now.The help and contribution to Manchester United cannot be compared with Beckham.Even because he is too obsessed with personal skills, rather than playing with the team.

Some bigwigs in the team are already quite dissatisfied with him.

Especially Van Nistelrooy, he misses Beckham very much.He has expressed in public several times that he misses Beckham.

Don't look at Ferguson's great influence on English football.

At this point, who cares who you are?Not to mention Ferguson, even his uncle Ferguson is useless.The overwhelming accusations were directed at Ferguson.

George had a little compassion in his heart.

No matter how you say it, Ferguson is a famous European coach.Now it is so criticized.

But George didn't go up to help a little.If Ferguson can dismiss get out of class now under pressure, it will be a very good result for George.Once Ferguson is out of class, the threat of Manchester United will drop by more than half.

Most of the coaches in the Premier League are hoping that Ferguson, an old man, will get out of get out of class quickly.

Of course, George also knew that this was unlikely.

Under such circumstances, the Premier League must continue.

Premier League No.20 eight rounds, Arsenal continued their good performance.A [-]-[-] home win over Charlton Athletic consolidated their top spot in the Premier League.

So is Blackburn, of course.

In the away game, they defeated Aston Villa [-]-[-].

Only Manchester United, who were eliminated in the Champions League, were tied 4-[-] by Fulham away.If you don't work hard, even the No.[-] position is not safe.

…………

After the 28th round of the Premier League, Ferguson was even more frustrated.But George and Wenger don't have time to worry about it, because the draw for the Champions League quarter-finals is about to take place.

The list of the quarter-finals of the Champions League is as follows.

Real Madrid, Milan, Lyon, Monaco, Porto, Blackburn, Arsenal, Stuttgart.

When it comes to the quarter-finals, there is not as much emphasis on the quarter-finals.

What avoids with group, club of the same country.Therefore, at this time, the quality of the lottery depends on God's arrangement.Of course, it depends on the mood of UEFA.

If UEFA is happy and gives you a weak team, then you will be happy secretly.

If UEFA is not happy and gives you a strong team, then you can only accept it.

The consequences of shrinking a group came out.

At the top [-], everyone felt it.But looking at the top eight, everyone can feel it very clearly.

That is too many dark horses.Or there are too many weak teams.

Although Monaco and Porto are outright dark horses.But Lyon and Stuttgart were able to appear in the quarterfinals entirely because there is only one group stage now.Therefore, it is not too difficult to break through the group stage.

Plus the draw for the round of [-] is not bad.Encountered the same weak team.That's why there are so many weak teams in the quarterfinals.

If it is a two-round group match like before, it will be difficult for Stuttgart and Lyon to appear.Even Porto and Monaco may not be able to break through the second round of the group stage.

But for George, this is a good thing.

Because the more belly there is, the easier it is to reach the Champions League final.

George thought so.

It's a pity that as soon as the draw for the quarter-finals came out, George couldn't laugh.

Damn UEFA!

Mom, Blackburn was very unlucky to draw Milan.

Who are you going to tell about this kind of unlucky thing.There are not a few strong teams in the entire quarterfinals, and most teams are weak teams.Under such circumstances, it turned out to be Milan.If it is said that there is no handwriting of UEFA in it, George will not believe it if he is killed.

It must be UEFA.

It must be them, for the ratings.

Blackburn and Milan, although not really a blood feud.But last season Blackburn was eliminated by Milan without any suspense, which made many people in European football watch George's jokes.There are also many Italian media who are extremely mocking of George.

George didn't fight back though.

But the Blackburn media and the Italian media, especially the Milan media, have fought a lot.

Enemies meeting each other now must be extremely jealous.

This is the best way to increase ratings.

Blackburn is in the top half, apart from Milan, there are Porto and Lyon.

In other words, the winners of Blackburn and Milan will chase the winners of Porto and Lyon for the Champions League final list.

George cursed in his heart.

Why don't you let me play Lyon, how easy it is to play Lyon.George has been looking forward to playing either Sparta Prague or Lyon since the quarter-finals.It's a pity that they didn't get what they wanted, and now they have to play Milan.

Mommy, look at the Arsenal draw.

It is estimated that in the past few seasons, UEFA has been boring to play tricks on Arsenal.In the group stage of the previous few seasons, Arsenal was thrown into the absolute death group by UEFA every season.Perhaps to make up for it, this season's Arsenal first met Celta in the knockout stage, and now they met Stuttgart.

George is really envious of Arsenal.I don't have such luck.

Suddenly it occurred to George.

Why is the dark horse running rampant this season.

That's all because I killed all the strong teams.First kill Juventus, then kill Milan.At that time, we will see what other strong teams there are.

Yes, Milan is a bird?
The revenge of last season hadn't been reported yet, but it happened to happen this season.Saved George from thinking about this humiliation all the time, thinking about how to get revenge.It's fine now too.

Consoling himself like this, George's cold face finally melted away.

After the lottery, many reporters surrounded George.

Because in the quarter-finals, there was not only a strong dialogue between Blackburn and Juventus, but also a giant matchup between Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.So not very conspicuous.

But as soon as the quarter-final draw was over, Blackburn's game stood out.

Because in the entire quarter-finals, there was only one real European strong dialogue.

That's Blackburn facing Milan.

Coupled with the game between Blackburn and Milan last season, all reporters want to hear George's opinion.

"Milan? I think it's good. It just happens that the old and new accounts are settled together. Maybe I have a relationship with Italian football. First I eliminated Juventus, and then I will eliminate Milan."

George didn't care at all, and answered the reporter very easily.

"Coach Levy, there was no way for Blackburn to face Milan last season? Are you so sure that you can eliminate Milan?"

The Italian reporter asked George with a smile.

For Italian clubs, only the Milan family has ever succeeded against George.Others including Roma, Lazio, and Juventus are all defeated by Blackburn.Therefore, Italian football has always mentioned Milan's victory over Blackburn.

"The world has changed. Last season, my team changed some people. They were not able to fully integrate into the team, so Milan picked up a leak. This season, my team has completely succeeded. Milan, the It's about time they realized how good we are."
