457 Enemy's Narrow Road

After defeating Juventus, George was complacent.

Now it has entered the top eight of the Champions League.

George was proud when he returned to England. Of course, Wenger is just as excited.

Now Arsenal is the most watched team in Europe. In the Premier League, it is currently at the top of the list. And the performance is excellent, and it has been far away from all competitors. Both Blackburn, Manchester United and Chelsea have been double-digited by Arsenal.

Arsenal has basically booked the Premier League championship this season.

At present, the Premier League in the mid-to-late 1990s, when Manchester United and Arsenal competed for dominance.

In the current Premier League, all the strong teams are strong in Europe. Including Manchester United, Blackburn and Chelsea, which of them are well-known in European football. But they are now completely suppressed by Arsenal in the Premier League.

Everyone can imagine the strength of Arsenal.

And Arsenal is not the kind of team that is good at civil war and outsider. In the Champions League, Arsenal has always performed very well. In the group stage counterattack, the away match against Inter Milan was 5 to 1. That game really shocked the European football world.

Now Arsenal has also entered the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

Arsenal is now at the top of the odds of the Champions League championship.

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

That's Ferguson.

Because the first surprise of the UEFA Champions League this season appeared.

Manchester United was tied 1-0 by Porto at home. The score was 2-0 and 3-0 in the two rounds. The powerful Manchester United lost to Porto from Portugal. Ferguson, a famous European coach, actually lost to a fledgling Mourinho.

This has become the first big surprise in the Champions League this season.

Porto is famous.

Manchester United is tragic.

Ferguson has been under obvious 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 championship. Manchester United even had no choice but to save their lives with a League Cup last season.

Because Manchester United's performance is too poor.

Even among Manchester United fans, Ferguson has begun to be old, hoping that he will be out of class. You can imagine how much Ferguson is under pressure now.

I didn't expect that this season, Manchester United will be a tragedy again.

He was knocked away by Arsenal for nearly 20 minutes, and was eliminated by a Porto that no one likes in the Champions League.

Suddenly, Ferguson became the target of public criticism.

Everyone is accusing Ferguson of being old. Many British media believe that Beckham's departure is the reason why Manchester United is so decadent this season. The newly joined Xiao Luo, although his personal ability is excellent, his technology is also fancy.

But it's too bad to be in the team. He only knows how to show off his skills, but it doesn't help the team at all.

This can't be compared with Beckham at all.

Of course, this is the idea of the British media. But this is a common idea for many people at present. Xiao Luo, are you very strong?

Xiao Luo is just a talented teenager who plays cycling now. The help and contribution of Manchester United cannot be equated with Beckham. Even because he is too obsessed with personal skills instead of cooperating with the team.

Some of the bigwigs in the team have been quite dissatisfied with him.

Especially Fanny, he misses Beckham very much. I have said in public several times that I miss Beckham.

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

At this time, who cares who you are? Not to mention Ferguson, even Ferguson's uncle is useless. The overwhelming accusations came to Ferguson.

George has a little compassion in his heart.

Ferguson is a famous European coach anyway. Now it is so criticized.

But George didn't go up to help. If Ferguson could be under pressure and finish class now, it would be a very good result for George. Once Ferguson is over, the threat of Manchester United will be reduced by more than half.

Most of the Premier League coaches are hoping that Ferguson, the old man, will finish class soon.

Of course, George also knew that this was unlikely.

In this case, the Premier League will continue.

In the twenty-eighth round of the Premier League, Arsenal continued their good performance. He defeated Charlton Athletic 2-1 at home and consolidated his position at the top of the Premier League.

Of course, the same is true of Blackburn.

He defeated Aston Villa 2-0 on the road.

Only at Manchester United, which was eliminated in the Champions League, they were tied by Fulham one-to-one away from home. If you don't work hard, you won't even be safe for the fourth place.

............After the 28th round of the Premier League, Ferguson was even more frustrated. But George and Wenger don't have time to manage, because the draw for the Champions League quarter-finals will be held soon.

The list of the top eight of the UEFA 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 attention to the eighth finals.

What is the avoidance of the same group and the avoidance of clubs in the same country. Therefore, at this time, the quality of the lottery depends on God's arrangement. Of course, it also depends on the mood of UEFA.

If UEFA is happy to give you a weak team, then you will have fun.

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

The consequences of shrinking a group have come out.

When it was in the top 16, everyone already felt it. But looking at the top eight, you can feel it very clearly.

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

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

plus the draw of one-eighth of the final is good. I met the same weak team. That's why there are so many weak teams in the top eight.

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

But for George, this is a good thing.

Because the more fish brisket, the easier it is to enter the Champions League final.

That's what George thinks.

Unfortunately, as soon as the draw for the quarter-finals came out, George couldn't laugh.

Damn UEFA!

Mom, Blackburn was so unlucky that he actually drew Milan.

Who are you going to talk to about this kind of unlucky thing? There are not many strong teams in the quarterfinals. Generally, the teams are weak. In this case, it turned out to be Milan. If there is no UEFA pen in it, you won't believe it if you kill George.

It must be UEFA.

It must be them, for the ratings.

Blackburn and Milan, although it is not a feud. But last season, Blackburn was eliminated by Milan without any suspense, which made many people in the European football watch George's jokes. There are also many Italian media, which is extremely sarcastic about George.

Although George didn't fight back.

But Blackburn Media and the Italian media, especially the Milan media, have done a lot of battles.

Now that enemies meet, they must be particularly jealous.

This is the best way to improve the ratings.

Blackburn is in the upper half. In addition to Milan, there are also Porto and Lyon.

That is to say, the winners of Blackburn and Milan will compete with the winners of Porto and Lyon to compete for a Champions League final.

George cursed in his heart.

Why don't you let me play Lyon? It's so easy to play Lyon. Since the eighth quarter-final, George has been looking forward to playing Sparta Prague or Lyon. Unfortunately, I didn't get what I wanted, but now I'm going to play Milan.

Mom, look at Arsenal's lottery.

It is estimated that UEFA has been bored to play tricks on Arsenal in the past few seasons. In the group stage of the past 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 it meets Stuttgart.

George really envies Arsenal. Why don't I have this kind of luck?

George suddenly thought of it.

Why are dark horses rampant this season?

That's all because I killed the strong team. First, kill Juventus, and then kill Milan. Let's see what other strong teams there are.

Yes, Milan is a bird?

The revenge of last season has not been avenged yet, and it happened to be met this season. The province made George always worry about this shame and think about how to take revenge. It's fine now.

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

After the draw, many reporters surrounded George.

Because in the eighth final, there is not only a strong dialogue between Blackburn and Juventus, but also a big match between Real Madrid and Bayern Munich. So it's not very conspicuous.

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

Because there is only one real European strong dialogue in the whole quarter-finals.

That's Blackburn facing Milan.

In addition to last season's match between Blackburn and Milan, all reporters want to hear George's opinion.

"Milan? I think it's good. It happens that the new and old accounts are calculated together. Maybe I'm predestined to Italian football. First, I will eliminate Juventus, and then Milan.

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

"Coach Levy, didn't Blackburn have a little way to face Milan last season? Are you so sure that you can eliminate Milan?

The Italian reporter asked George with a smile.

In the Italian club, only Milan has been successful against George. Others, including Rome, Lazio and Juventus, are all losers under Blackburn. Therefore, Italian football has always mentioned Milan's victory over Blackburn.

"The world is time-shifting. Last season, my team changed some people. They couldn't fully integrate into the team, so Milan picked up a leak. My team has been completely successful this season. Milan, it's time for them to know that we are great.
