305 Half Champion

Fortunately, there is still nearly a month left in the first game of the League Cup semi-finals. There are still five Premier League games in the middle.

In the 18th round of the Premier League, Blackburn challenged Ipswich away.

Ipswich, this is a very amazing team. It just upgraded last season. But this season's performance is strong. Now the league is almost halfway through, and Ipswich is still ranked sixth in the Premier League.

It's not simple, it's really not simple.

The fast and concise style and style of short pass penetration of the Ipswich team are pleasing to the eye. For a while, it brought fresh air to the Premier League, which made many teams restrained by Ipswich's playing style.

Or many teams in the Premier League have not been able to find a way to restrain Ipswich for a while.

A strange team, a strange way of playing, and because he is a newly promoted team, everyone despises him. Therefore, it has created a miracle of promotion. Of course, it's nothing compared with Kaiserslautern Miracle, but it's quite excellent for a promoted horse to rank sixth in the Premier League.

But this is only for those ordinary teams.

In the face of Blackburn, his style of play has become their weakness. What George is most afraid of is the iron-blooded team, such as the overall playing team of Bayern. Of course, for some big teams, Blackburn is also a little difficult to play.

But George is the favorite club Ipswich, which learns how to play in continental Europe.

Klose, who has been resting for two consecutive games, received a pass from Duff's side not long before the game started, scoring Klose's fourteenth goal in the Premier League this season.

Of course, the game was not over. At the end of the first half, Riiser scored the second goal of the game with a long shot in the front court. This is also Reese's second goal for Blackburn this season. But Blackburn did not stop killing.

In the second half, Pires, Duff and Hargreaves, who came on as substitutes, scored one goal each, and finally defeated Ipswich 4-0.

Blackburn's game can be said to have completely brought Ipswich back to its original shape.

After playing this game, George got exciting news.

Arsenal faced their old rival Tottenham Hotspur in the London Derby, and the final score was 1:1. Wenger's Arsenal are exhausted in this game. If it hadn't been for Henry's long-distance raid before the end of the game, they would have lost in this derby.

Playing the toughest Champions League match has made Arsenal tired.

In terms of strength, the current Arsenal is far more than Tottenham Hotspur. But in the game, Tottenham has always taken the initiative. Even Arsenal's steel big Han Vieira can't run this game.

If Arsenal's draw is good news, then the news from Manchester United is to make George dance.

Manchester United was defeated by Holler's Liverpool at home. Liverpool defeated Manchester United 1-0 away. After the end of the 18th round of the Premier League, Blackburn led Arsenal by seven points and Manchester United by eight points.

With the end of the 18 rounds, Blackburn has already secured the Premier League half-time champion in advance.

But George was not careless at all. Now it is only eight points ahead of Manchester United. When Manchester United reversed Newcastle, Newcastle was 12 points ahead of Manchester United. In the end, it was reversed by Manchester United.

So George will continue to increase the score before the new season resumes the Champions League.

On December 23, Blackburn challenged Coventry away.

In fact, this round should not be a match against Coventry. Because Tottenham did not play, but for some reasons, Tottenham's game was pushed back.

As for Coventry, this is a weak team in the Premier League. Now it ranks 18th in the Premier League. Together with Manchester City and Bradford, they are the popular teams relegated to the Premier League this season. George will never let go of such a team.

It's just that Blackburn has always been playing with one breath. In less than half a year now, Blackburn players have played 30 games. Of course, if those national team players add up to their games, it will be more than 30 games.

Although George attached great importance to this game, he failed to score a goal against Coventry Blackburn on the road. Of course, with Coventry's strength, he has no ability to break through Blackburn's goal. In the end, George could only accept the score of zero to zero.

The last game lost to Blackburn's Ipswich, with bad luck. Because he met the powerful Manchester United in this round, he was beaten two to zero by Manchester United. He has achieved two consecutive defeats. With this game, Manchester United's gap with Blackburn has narrowed to six points.

As for Arsenal, it began to collapse.

The two groups of death in the UEFA Champions League are indeed very influential. And the absence of Yongbéry caught Arsenal off guard.

In the 19th round of the Premier League, Liverpool, who has been in a hot state, scored -4 to zero. The gap with Blackburn, the first place in the Premier League, has become eight points.

Liverpool destroyed Arsenal and Manchester United in a row, surpassing Leeds United and becoming the fourth place in the Premier League again. The distance from Blackburn is already thirteen points, only five points less than Arsenal.

So far, Blackburn has won the half-time Premier League championship.

Blackburn fans are very happy, and the Blackburn newspaper is also very excited.

The Blackburn Evening News shouted that Blackburn was about to win the Premier League championship.

Steven. Yellen has now completely become George's advocate.

"Six years later, we won the half-time championship again. In six years, we welcomed one coach after another, and finally we got the most suitable coach for us, George. Levy. This is his third season in Blackburn, and we have already seen the dawn of the league championship.

"It's been six years, and we Blackburn are really back. Premier League champion, we are Black!"

And later, there is even more meaty praise for George's work in Blackburn. Now anyone who sees Yellen's article will think that George and Yellen have a personal relationship. In fact, who knows that the two were still sworn in the past three years ago.

As soon as George meets Yellen, he can't help hurting him. All Yellen's comments at that time were sarcastic to Burnley and George.

But now the two have become the best-to-people.

People's affairs can never be explained clearly.

Of course, many media attach great importance to Blackburn's Premier League half-time champion. Even the Liverpool Echo, which has always been against George, spoke highly of Blackburn's half-time league championship.

Blackburn won the Premier League half-time in the 94-95 season. That year, Blackburn won the half-time championship and finally won the Premier League. Blackburn is more powerful and stable now than it was then. The Premier League has been going on for half a season, and Blackburn has only lost one game and tied four games. In 19 games, only 11 points were lost.

"Now Blackburn is six points ahead of Manchester United and eight points for Arsenal. It occupies the best position.

"I believe that this season's Premier League champion must be Blackburn."

George doesn't know whether the Liverpool Echo really thinks Blackburn won the championship or whether he doesn't want Manchester United to win the championship.

Anyway, Manchester United and George hate Liverpool. Maybe they hate Manchester United more, so they may support Blackburn to win the championship.

Anyway, George is not interested in the opinions of these newspapers. The half-time champion is actually nice to say. Among the current probability of the Premier League, the probability of a half-time champion winning the Premier League is only more than 30%, and less than 40%.

Speaking of which, Leeds United also won the half-time championship last season. So what?

At the end of last season, Leeds United did not even get a place in the Champions League. And in that big reversal season, Newcastle also won the half-time championship. The difference is that it was reversed by Manchester United. Therefore, winning the half-time championship does not mean the Premier League champion.

However, winning the half-way championship is a good omen. George is very happy.

If the current schedule is more reasonable and don't play so many games at this time, Williams must hope to hold a small celebration party. It's a pity that Blackburn doesn't have time to do this kind of thing now.

Because five days later, Blackburn will go to London to challenge Tottenham Hotspur.

So after the game, George gave the players two days off.

"I have performed well this half season, and now I have two days off. Let's all enjoy Christmas." Although George himself is not interested in Christmas, George's players need to go to Christmas.

Married players should spend time with their families. Those young men need to spend time with their girlfriends.

Because it was the game on the 28th, George waved his hand and asked the players to come back to train on the 26th.

"But remember it all for me. If anyone goes crazy and adjusts in a bad state these two days, he can only go to the bench. OK, disband!"

Looking at the cheering of the players, George shook his head. There are still a lot of young players in Blackburn now, and of course they are willing to play. After the holiday, George was thinking about what he should do. Recently, Miranda said that their acquisition has entered the final stage. So I'm also busy these days.

I haven't figured it out yet, but the ringing of the mobile phone in my pocket rang.

"John, what can I do for you?" George looked up at Williams' office and found that Williams was standing on it and calling George.

"George, are you free tonight? Shall we get together?"

"Good. Of course." Although George is a hillbilly, George likes to communicate with a gentleman like Williams.

Williams is a typical English gentleman. He always speaks impatiently and gently, making the person he talks feel like a spring breeze.

"George, I'm not alone. Mr. Walker also wants to see you."

"Mr. Walker?" George was stunned. He hadn't seen Jack for a long time. Walker." OK."
