244 Premier League? League Cup?

After George returned to England, all the Italian media were reporting on George. The content of their reports is the same, and even the meaning is the same. It's the "arrogant British".

George left Rome gracefully, but the Italian media went crazy.

For so many years, Italian football has been used to being the boss in Europe. Good players are proud to be able to play Serie A. Serie A gathers the best players in the world, and they are qualified to be proud.

But George, a young coach from England, almost satirized the front and back of Italian football. How can this make the arrogant Italian media forget that it is full of accusations. Unfortunately, what they don't know is that George doesn't read Italian newspapers at all.

Although George knows Italian, George doesn't have much time to read Italian newspapers.

In the BBC's football program, the host smiled and said, "I believe that for a while, Italian football will never forget George, an arrogant young coach."

At this time, the invited guest, Reinkel, interrupted.

"They will definitely not forget Blackburn's current achievements. George will definitely lead Blackburn to the Champions League next season, and he will definitely meet the Italian team.

"Yes, yes." The host nodded. Not only the Italian media, once George goes to the Champions League, the whole European football world will know George, an arrogant coach.

George returned to England and had no time to rest at all. Middlesbrough is about to be played.

Last season, the momentum was still strong, and Middlesbrough, which finally ranked ninth in the Premier League, has declined a lot this season. At present, it only ranks 14th in the Premier League. This is a common problem of some upgraded teams. After they have just been promoted, they can often play very well with a breath.

But in the second season, other teams will pay attention to you. So in the second season, the performance of these promoted teams often determines the future fate of these teams.

Of course, not only the team, but also many players. In the first season of landing in a league, some people often perform very well because others are not familiar with themselves. But in the second season, after other teams pay attention to him, their performance will be sluggish.

Now Middlesbrough has encountered such a problem.

Because of the twenty-eighth round of the Premier League and the UEFA Cup, the difference is only two days. George had no choice but to change some substitutes to play. I don't know if it's because of the victory over Rome. It was a boring match against Middlesbrough at home, with a 1-0 draw.

And Manchester United, who also returned from the European game, defeated Derbyshire 3-1 in excellent form.

Manchester United overtook Blackburn by two points and returned to the top of the list. This is Manchester United's return to the top position after nearly ten rounds.

George turned off the TV when he saw Manchester United overtaking the score 2-0. George looks ugly, although he knows that it's not easy to win the Premier League championship. But he didn't expect how long it would take, so he gave up the top position to Manchester United.

It's also a European game, and Manchester United has not been greatly affected. George watched the game of Manchester United carefully, and Ferguson did have a lot of experience in the rotation. Unlike George, the main players in such an important game are all played, and then in the next game, they have no choice but to rotate most of the substitutes.

In this way, the main players can take the game, but the substitute players have a lot of problems.

And even in the group stage of the Champions League, Ferguson is not exactly the main player. Instead, there are some omnipotent chess pieces on the field, so that some main players can still rest. His rotation had a sense of mixing, and he won both games after the mixing.

George knows this kind of multi-line combat and is inexperienced. You also need to learn from old people like Ferguson.

After giving up the top of the list, George knew that he was at a loss from the schedule. In the rest of the games, Manchester United only played Chelsea at home and Villa away from home. Blackburn will not only play West Ham United at home, but also Chelsea and Liverpool away.

Four days later, Blackburn played against Roma at home.

In fact, Roma have fallen behind two goals at home and have basically been sentenced to death. It's true that Capello doesn't think he can turn over, so the starters don't have so many main players. Just as George satirizes Rome, Rome may not even play the UEFA Cup next season.

Now Capello is a little anxious. The situation in Rome is quite bad in the league. Especially when Lazio, the sworn enemy of the same city, ranked first, Capello was even more anxious.

Although George, a young coach, is arrogant, Blackburn's strength is good, which Capello agrees with. Since he couldn't win, Capet gave up. Although Capello did not say anything, it can be seen from everyone in the starting lineup.

And George is the same this time, neither all the main players nor the substitutes. George didn't want to spend energy on this game, nor did he want to capitte in the gutter.

The game was very flat, and Rome didn't want to turn the table. And Blackburn also wanted to preserve his physical strength, and everyone had reservations. So there is no exaggerated scene in the game. Blackburn is, and I'm not in a hurry if you don't attack Rome.

Finally, they got a zero-to-zero draw at home.

However, Blackburn still defeated Roma 2-0 with a total score and entered the quarterfinals of the UEFA Cup.

The list of the top eight of the League Cup has also come out. Blackburn, Arsenal, Leeds United, Bremen, Celta, Lens, Slavia Prague, Galatasaray.

A total of three teams in the Premier League have entered the quarter-finals of the League Cup. Blackburn was the fourth place in the Premier League and directly won the UEFA Cup, Arsenal was eliminated in the UEFA Champions League group stage and entered the UEFA Cup, and Leeds United worked hard to enter the UEFA Cup through the International Toto Cup.

And in the Champions League, although the group stage of the second round of the Champions League is not over yet. But Manchester United and Chelsea are in a good situation, and it is not a big problem to enter the top eight of the Champions League.

There are two Premier League teams in the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League and three Premier League teams in the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League, which is already a sign of the rise of the Premier League.

Blackburn is lucky, and the opponent of the quarter-finals of the League Cup has also come out. It's Slavia Prague from the Czech First Division.

George was overjoyed that this was the best ending.

After the implementation of the Bosman Act, the biggest hit were those European second-rate leagues. Of course, the first hit was the Dutch League. The traditional giants of the Dutch League Ajax, Eindhoven and Feyenoord were the hardest.

The stars of these three teams have been divided up by the teams of the five major European leagues. Of course, they also have their way to survive. Since the five major European leagues dug them, they dug up small clubs in the Dutch League. Of course, there are leagues that are worse than the Dutch League.

The Czech League is obviously worse than the Dutch League.

However, the reputation of the Czech League is not low. This is all because the Czech Republic has given birth to a golden generation in recent years, especially a large number of good players led by Nedvid and Bobowski in Euro 96. They have improved the reputation of the Czech League, and also put the Czech League in people's sight.

So after the Bosman Act, the slightly powerful players in the Czech League were all robbed by the major leagues. Needless to say, the Bundesliga and Serie A go there to dig people. Only the Premier League is unable to bring in players from the Czech Republic because of the labor license.

The Czech League has fallen. Slavia Prague, from the Czech First Division, can be imagined.

Therefore, after the game in Rome, it was followed by the twenty-ninth rounds of the Premier League. Blackburn, who lost the top position on the list, instead lost his psychological burden. In the away game against Derby County, the Blackburn players performed well. A big score of 4-1, won the game.

Due to the conflict between the twenty-ninth round and Manchester United's Champions League, Manchester United postponed the game. In this way, Blackburn regained a one-point advantage and topped the Premier League table.

The Premier League has reached the final stage, and Blackburn can also compete with Manchester United for the Premier League championship. When all newspapers evaluate Blackburn, they use strong teams.

The intensive schedule made George breathless. Just after the 29th round of the Premier League, Blackburn immediately played against the quarter-finals of the UEFA Cup at home.

On March 16, the quarter-final knockout match of the League Cup began.

In this game, George began to learn from Ferguson, although this game is very important. But George didn't send all the main force. Because Slavia Prague's strength is there, it's just a waste to play.

After all, two days after playing this game, it will be the thirtieth round of the Premier League.

However, even if Blackburn's main substitute is mixed, he still has an advantage against Slavia Bragg from the Czech First Division. Davao. Suc scored two goals in this game, making him seven goals in Blackburn this season.

Romedar, who came on as a substitute for Pires, scored a goal, and Drogba on the forward line also scored a goal. Of course, this is Drogba's first goal for Blackburn this season.

In the end, Blackburn shouted 4-0 at home to Prague Slavia.

At this time, no one doubts whether Blackburn will enter the top four of the UEFA Cup. Everyone firmly believes that there is no problem for Blackburn to enter the top four of the UEFA Cup.

Two days later, in the thirtieth round of the Premier League, Blackburn played well against Villa at home. Especially Klose, who did not play in the UEFA Cup, helped Blackburn beat Villa 2-0 with one pass and one shot.

But Manchester United is in better shape. Manchester United, who returned from the Champions League, beat Leicester City -4 to 0 away.

Blackburn still has one more game, one point ahead of Manchester United.

Even the media admired Blackburn's strength.

George's Blackburn has already entered the top four of the UEFA Cup and is still at the top of the league. George's goal is to win the League Cup? Premier League champion? Or do you want both?"
