Coach Legend

249 Know yourself and know your enemy

He defeated Arsenal 1-0, and George was in a good spirit. George already knew in his heart that he won the League Cup semi-finals.

After this game, George can calmly treat two opponents in the Premier League. But Arsenal needs to fight hard.

Of course, if it is Arsenal in an undefeated season, there is a lot of room for them to rotate. Even after two hard battles, he still had the strength to fight with Blackburn in the second game. But Arsenal can't do it now.

There are almost no available players in the Arsenal bench now. They just use a lineup to fight the world.

How much combat effectiveness can Arsenal have left after playing Leeds United?

So George unconsciously smiled on his mouth.

"Coach Levy, the weakness of Arsenal you mentioned is the density of their schedule?"

Even if they didn't expect it before the game, the reporters understood after the game started. After all, these reporters have been immersed in football for many years and have unique visions. Look at the game and you will know what the head coaches of both sides think.

"Didn't you see it?"

"Coach Levy, don't you think there is any victory in this game?" A reporter spoke very hard.

It can be said that this is true for all the reporters who ask George questions. They all hope to hear the news from George, and there are too many journalists that George offended. If they play against foreign teams, they can also support George, but in the internal battle of the Premier League, they will be very demanding on George.

"Is it a victory or not?" George was not as angry as they imagined, but continued to answer with a smile. In China, there was a great military strategist more than 2,000 years ago. There is a saying in his military book Sun Tzu's Art of War that knows himself and knows each other.

"I saw Arsenal's weakness, and I also arranged this weakness for the surname. As a result, you saw it."

When they heard George talking about military works, these reporters were all confused. However, they already knew that George could speak fluent Chinese, but they didn't expect that George even knew the military art books in Chinese history.

The Chinese reporters present were smiling.

The Chinese military book was actually said by George. What a proud thing it is. Sun Tzu's Art of War was actually used by George on the football field.

However, the English reporter was not satisfied. He wanted to hear something more popular. But now that George is not angry at all, the reporter is very frustrated. So continue to ask questions.

"Coach Levy, even if you see Arsenal's weakness. You can also defeat them with dignity. Why..."

Although I didn't finish speaking, the meaning came out.

George shook his head. These reporters are really funny. They have to hear some terrible news from their own mouths. However, George and Wenger have a good relationship, although they won the FA Cup in Burnley, and Arsenal gave George a -8 to zero shame.

But on the whole, there is no deep hatred between Blackburn and Arsenal. The two head coaches, George and Wenger, still have the same position on many issues.

So George can't laugh at Arsenal.

"There is another sentence in that great book. It is called attacking the heart as the top and the siege as the bottom. Since there is a better choice, I can force Arsenal to retreat. Why fight to the death?

No matter what the reporter below asked, George answered with a smile. Finally, these reporters also saw that George was in an abnormal state today.

............ Won the first game of the UEFA Cup semi-finals, especially the 1-0 lead to Arsenal away.

Blackburn players all know that Blackburn has now entered the League Cup final with one foot. In the UEFA Cup final, who dared to imagine this two or three years ago?

When the team returned to Blackburn, more than 10,000 fans were welcoming George and Blackburn players. No one can replace the happiness of Blackburn fans now. Before George's entry, Blackburn was nominally a former Premier League champion team.

But only Blackburn fans themselves know how those three years came.

From a Premier League champion, Blackburn can only wander in the relegation zone for three consecutive years. In the 97-98 season, it was a thrilling relegation success in the last round. This experience is not understandable by fans of other Premier League teams.

Since George came to Blackburn, Blackburn's performance has risen steadily. In the final stage of last season, he became the fourth place in the Premier League and won the place in the League Cup. This season, the team ranked second in the Premier League, and then it is about to enter the League Cup final.

Although there is basically no hope of winning the league, Blackburn fans have no fault with George at all. In their opinion, the current results are already a great surprise.

In the next few days, Blackburn ushered in Bradford and Watford one after another.

George began to rotate, but now George also begins to learn from Ferguson. There will not be all the main players in one game and all the substitutes in one game. Instead, there are some mixed combinations, but there are more main players in the game against Bradford and less in the game with Watford.

However, it may be the first victory of the UEFA Cup semi-final, which inspired Blackburn. Blackburn won all two games. Although it's only a small score of 1-0 and 2-0, it's still six points for Blackburn.

But George doesn't care about the strength of the league at all. Because Manchester United is crazy now, and it's not ordinary crazy.

First, he defeated Middlesbrough 4-2 away, and then defeated Sunderland 4-0 at home. Manchester United, who were eliminated in the Champions League, is really crazy. After winning Middlesbrough and Sunderland, Manchester United has achieved an amazing seven-game winning streak.

And in the last 12 games, Manchester United has achieved nine wins and three draws.

In the face of such a strong Manchester United, George can only smile bitterly. After returning from the FIFA Club World Cup, Manchester United has not lost a game so far.

Ferguson's Manchester United was definitely not fake at the end of the season. George really experienced Manchester United's ability to grab points.

Another team, Arsenal, also performed very well. First, he won 1-0 at home on Wednesday, and then defeated his direct rival Leeds United 3-0 away. With the victory of this game, Arsenal has basically kept the third place in the Premier League this season. Of course, it also saved a place in the Champions League.

But for these two games, Arsenal has also paid a painful price.

Although the match between the UEFA Cup semi-finals and Blackburn has caused serious problems with Arsenal's physical strength. But for next season's Champions League quota, Wenger can only send the most powerful main lineup.

Although he won two opponents very smoothly, he also kept the third place in the Premier League. But Wenger still wants to cry without tears.

The two games have exhausted Arsenal's main players.

George also watched the focus battle between Arsenal and Leeds United on the spot. But after reading it, George kept cursing O'Leiley.

Oraley, you are a soft egg.

Now is the most important moment for Leeds United. Only by entering the Champions League can Leeds United get more attention. It will also allow Leeds United owners to invest in the Champions League.

But looking at the game, I just resisted a little and was beaten by Arsenal. Unexpectedly, at home, he was beaten 3-0 by Arsenal, who had no physical strength at all. This kind of competition should have a momentum, an indomitable momentum.

But Leeds United doesn't. O'Leiley is not a coach.

George is also looking forward to a few injured players in the match between Arsenal and Leeds United. Unfortunately, George's evil idea did not appear in reality.

But George is already very satisfied.

After playing against Leeds United, Arsenal went to Ewood Park to prepare for the second game of the League Cup semi-finals. The interval in the middle is only four days.

This kind of high-intensity game has made Arsenal players very tired. If it hadn't been for the breath, Arsenal would have been tired.

Blackburn is full of energy.

George has refreshed the team and is waiting for Arsenal's challenge. This time, George did not have any tricks and sent Blackburn's main lineup this season.

Now Blackburn has an away goal and is full of confidence in the face of Arsenal. George wants to play against Arsenal with Blackburn's best method, and completely destroy Arsenal with attack.

Although Wenger's Arsenal is also demoralized, in the face of Blackburn, who is easy to work, it is still full of energy. In the face of Blackburn's offensive at home, he soon showed a flaw.

"Pyre, pass... Klose, it's Klose! This is Klose's 23rd goal this season! He beat Adams to score the goal! This is also Klose's fourth League Cup goal this season.

After Klose scored a goal in the first 24 minutes of the first half, the game was completely over.

Blackburn's side is constantly attacking, while Arsenal's side is getting heavier and heavier. If it hadn't been for too many games this season, how could Adams have made it so easy for Klose to score a header?

Wenger just had no choice but to spread out his hands off the court.

In fact, when he came to Ewood Park, Wenger knew in his heart that the hope of turning over was almost zero. But Wenger still wants to fight. Unfortunately, not long after the start of the first half, Blackburn completely broke Wenger's fantasy.

Seeing Klose's goal, George simply clapped his hands off the court.

Klose is much more mature. Of course, it hasn't met George's requirements. It's a good result to score 23 goals in a season. But in the face of super strikers such as Henry and Van Nisne, there is still a big gap.

There was no suspense in the game, and Blackburn finally scored another goal in the second half. He defeated Arsenal 2-0 and entered the final of the UEFA Cup with a total score of 3-0.

In the cheers of the fans, George said to the reporter, "I said I would win the League Cup, and I will win the League Cup."
