Chapter 469 George Second
The quarter-finals of the Champions League are finally over.

In addition to the first half, Blackburn and Porto appeared.There are already two teams in the second half of the division.

Arsenal easily defeated Stuttgart [-]-[-] on aggregate and entered the semi-finals of the Champions League.

The other game was the second big upset in the Champions League this season.

Real Madrid, which eliminated Bayern and entered the quarter-finals of the Champions League, was eliminated by Didier Deschamps' Monaco.

And the elimination process is also very dramatic.

Real Madrid first beat Monaco [-]-[-] at home.At that time, the whole of Europe believed that there was no suspense for Real Madrid to enter the semi-finals of the Champions League.With a score of four to two, can you still come back?
If the opponent is a European giant, it may be possible.But you a Ligue [-] team Monaco?

No one thinks that Monaco can knock out Real Madrid.

In the away game, Real Madrid also started very well.Raul's goal gave Real Madrid a [-]-[-] lead away from home.The total score is five to two.

Everyone thought the game was over.

Even the commentator at the time had announced that Real Madrid had entered the Champions League semi-finals.Even though the first half was not over yet.

But the dramatic scene finally began.

First, Giuly scored an equalizer goal at the end of the first half in 45 minutes.Then just 3 minutes into the second half of the game, Morientes scored a go-ahead goal.Severely gave the old club a knife.

This ball made the Real Madrid superstar mess up.

Queiroz, who directed the game, was also in chaos.In the 66th minute of the game, Giuly scored another goal.The game became three to one.

This score was maintained until the end.

Monaco actually relied on the advantage of away goals to eliminate Real Madrid.After Porto eliminated Manchester United, it created the second big upset in the Champions League this season.

The 03-04 season Champions League semi-final list came out.Blackburn, Arsenal, Monaco, Porto.

Unlike last season's Premier League strong teams that were completely wiped out in the Champions League, this time there are two more Premier League strong teams among the top four in the Champions League.And in the semi-finals, Blackburn played Porto and Arsenal played Monaco.

Many English media are already looking forward to it.

How Blackburn and Arsenal met in the Champions League final.

Champions League final, two clubs from the same league.This La Liga has been done before, when Real Madrid defeated Valencia in the final.Serie A has also done it. Last season, Milan defeated Juventus to become the Champions League champion.

But the English League has never done it.

The previous Champions League was because only the league champions could participate.So no chance.Later, the Champions League was expanded, but for a while, few strong teams in the Premier League were able to reach the Champions League final.

Premier League clubs have only won the Champions League twice so far.

Manchester United beat Bayern Munich in 99, and Blackburn beat Real Madrid in 02.

In fact, 02 is the best opportunity.There were three Premier League teams among the semi-finals at that time. Unfortunately, Blackburn eliminated Manchester United and Real Madrid eliminated Arsenal, so in the end it was Blackburn who played Real Madrid.

Now once again ushered in the best opportunity.

Monaco and Porto were upset because their opponents ignored them.Now it's time to enter the Champions League final. Once they pay attention to them, can they still be upset?

Although Blackburn's state has had some ups and downs this season, George himself started playing in cup games.George has always had a lot of experience in cup games.So they are not worried about Blackburn.

As for Arsenal, he is the hottest club in Europe this season.Some people have even started campaigning for Henry, arguing that Henry should be awarded this season's Footballer of the Year.Especially the London media and the French media all supported Henry's award as Footballer of the Year.

So no one thinks that Monaco can beat Arsenal.

Arsenal and Blackburn have entered the Champions League final, which can be said to be what everyone expected.

Therefore, the British media has already booked this season's Champions League in advance.This season's Champions League champion must be the Premier League.

On April 4, the quarterfinals were played.

The semi-finals will be played on April 4.There was nearly half a month in the middle.

In the past half month, Blackburn still has two Premier League games to play.If it is placed before the previous seasons, these two games are games that George attaches great importance to.Because in order to compete for the Premier League championship, at this time, there is absolutely no room for loss.

At a time like this, facing a strong dialogue, George must have a headache.

Because the two opponents George will face are Liverpool and Arsenal.

But this season Arsenal has already secured the Premier League title.Therefore, for George, there is no burden.George can rotate as much as he wants, and doesn't care about Premier League results.

Although George is unwilling to give up the No.2 position to Chelsea, the Champions League is the most important thing compared to the small thoughts in his heart.

Against Liverpool, George used most of the substitute players plus some main players.After all, Liverpool is a strong team in the Premier League, and there are many world-class players in the team.Blackburn were ping-ponged three goals away by Liverpool.

Lost to Liverpool [-]-[-].

Since George took over Blackburn, he has absolutely not had much experience of losing [-]-[-].But George was very calm.

Then it was time to face Arsenal.

So is Wenger.Now Wenger is also focusing on the Champions League.In the three rounds of the No.30 Premier League match, Wenger also put on a substitute lineup.The bench lineups of both sides played really well, better than the main lineup.

In the end, the two sides played offensive football at Ewood Park.In the end, the score was two to two.

With only one point in two games, Chelsea surpassed Blackburn again and became No.2 in the Premier League.This made George a little uncomfortable.

And Arsenal are only one step away from the league title.

In the remaining five rounds, as long as Arsenal score two points, then Arsenal will win the Premier League championship this season.With two points and five rounds left, Arsenal can play football with their eyes closed.

…………

"George points to the champion!"

"Champion of the Champions League, Black is here!"

The championship declaration that George shouted after the game immediately became the headlines of all media newspapers.After the quarter-finals of the Champions League, all victorious coaches were interviewed by the media.

But George was the only one who issued the championship declaration.

Especially the sentence that George said, "No one can stop us, not Juventus, nor Milan, not to mention Porto!", was greatly magnified, and it was very eye-catching in the newspaper layout.

This sentence can be said to have angered Porto.

Especially Porto's coach Mourinho.Mourinho is a madman, he is not a nice guy.

When they met Manchester United in the Champions League this season, Mourinho and Ferguson had a good fight.Ferguson said that the Porto players dived, and Mourinho hit back at Ferguson, saying that Ruud van Nistelrooy and Ronaldinho had more dives.

So seeing George so contemptuous of Porto, Mourinho also fought back against George.

"Under normal circumstances, only those with a guilty conscience will raise their voices to cover up their inner weakness. Obviously, Coach Levi belongs to this situation."

Facing Mourinho's counterattack, George smiled.

"Yes, Coach Mourinho is right. But he also said that under normal circumstances, it does not include me and my team. Because I am George Levy, who has won the Champions League Coach. We are Blackburn Rovers, a team that has won the Champions League."

After George finished speaking, he continued.

"Actually, Coach Mourinho is very good. I have seen the performance of Porto in the past two seasons, and I think Coach Mourinho has great potential. In the next few years, he is likely to become an important coach in European football .”

"When I see coach Mourinho, I think of me back then."

George's old-fashioned evaluation of Mourinho made the reporters who interviewed George laugh out loud.George is only 35 years old this year, while Mourinho is now 41 years old. A 35-year-old person, facing a 41-year-old person, said that he remembered me back then, which is funny no matter how you look at it.

But even though it was funny, all the reporters present nodded.

Because George is indeed qualified to comment on Mourinho in this way.

Mourinho started his coaching career at Amadora in 90.It's just an assistant coach. After Porto and Barcelona, ​​they are all assistant coaches.This is done for ten years.

It was not until 00 that he started to coach independently.It's only been four years now.

But George was different.

George received his coaching certificate in 90, and started his career as a head coach in 95.Completed three years double jump at Burnley.Then to Blackburn, began a glorious journey.George has been coaching for the ninth season this season.

Regardless of the coaching time or the honors he has received, George has stabilized Mourinho.

Therefore, George is young, but he is Mourinho's predecessor in the coaching world.

Sure enough, after George finished speaking, the Sun even published a big headline "George is second!"

It analyzes George and Mourinho, both of whom have good grades and are young coaches.More importantly, neither of them had a very good temper.They are all well-known character coaches in European football.Such a comparison, they say that Mourinho is George second.

George couldn't help laughing while reading the newspaper.

Many old coaches used to reprimand George in a reprimanded tone.George at the time hated those old coaches so much.But now George suddenly feels that there is still a reason why seniority can continue in English football for so long.

It is also quite cool to use seniority to overwhelm the juniors.
Thinking of molesting myself, Mourinho, the most beautiful head coach after entering the 21st century, is still quite proud.

Why, George is now more famous and honored than Mourinho.I just looked down and commented on Mourinho, giggling!

Indeed, after seeing the news, Mourinho was very angry.

Who is Mourinho?Is a very proud person.

Not to mention George, even Clough who has quit football, Manchester United coach Ferguson, and Robson whom Mourinho respects very much, none of them are qualified to say that Mourinho is their successor.

So seeing the words of "George Second", how could it not make Mourinho gnash his teeth.

　There are only two updates today.I am very sorry.
