465 George Second

The UEFA Champions League quarter-finals are finally over.

Except for the first half, Blackburn and Porto appeared. Two teams have already appeared in the second half of the competition.

Arsenal easily defeated Stuttgart with a total score of 3-1 and reached the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League.

And the other game is the second big surprise game of the Champions League this season.

Real Madrid, which eliminated Bayern and entered the quarter-finals of the Champions League, unexpectedly eliminated Deschamps's Monaco.

And the elimination process is also very dramatic.

Real Madrid first defeated Monaco 4-2 at home. At that time, all Europe believed that there was no suspense that Real Madrid would enter the top four of the Champions League. Can you turn over the score of four to two?

If the opponent is a European giant, it may still be possible. But do you have a Ligue 1 team, Monaco?

No one thinks that Monaco can eliminate Real Madrid.

When it came to the away game, Real Madrid's opening was also excellent. Raul's goal gave Real Madrid a 1-0 lead away from home. The total score is 5-1.

Everyone thinks that this game is over.

Even the commentators at that time had announced that Real Madrid had entered the quarterfinals of the Champions League. Although the first half was not over at that time.

But the scene of the drama finally began.

First, Jiu Li scored a goal to equalize the score at the end of the first half in 45 minutes. Then just three minutes after the start of the second half, Morentes scored an overtaking goal. He gave the old boss a knife fiercely.

This ball messed up the Real Madrid superstar.

Queiroz, who commanded the game, was also in a mess. When the game was 66 minutes, Jiu Li scored another goal. The game turned into three to one.

This score was maintained to the end.

Monaco actually eliminated Real Madrid with the advantage of away goals. After Porto's elimination of Manchester United, it created the second big surprise in the Champions League this season.

The top four of the UEFA Champions League for the 03-04 season has come out. Blackburn, Arsenal, Monaco, Porto.

It is different from last season's Premier League teams in the Champions League. This time, there are two Premier League teams in the top four of the Champions League. And in the semi-finals, Blackburn played Porto and Arsenal played Monaco.

Many English media are already looking forward to it.

The meeting between Blackburn and Arsenal in the Champions League final.

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

But the English League has never done it.

The previous UEFA Champions League was because only the league champion could participate. So there is no chance. Later, the Champions League was expanded, but few strong teams in the Premier League could reach the Champions League finals for a while.

The Premier League club has only won the Champions League twice so far.

Manchester United defeated Bayern Munich in 1999 and Blackburn defeated Real Madrid in 2002.

In fact, 2002 is the best opportunity. At that time, there were three Premier League teams in the top four. Unfortunately, Blackburn eliminated Manchester United and Real Madrid eliminated Arsenal, so Blackburn played Real Madrid in the end.

Now there is once again the best opportunity.

Monaco and Porto can be cold because their opponents ignore them. Now it's the game to enter the Champions League finals. Once they pay attention to them, can they still be cold?

Although Blackburn's state has some ups and downs this season, George himself started the cup. George has always been very good at cup competitions. So they are not worried about Blackburn.

As for Arsenal, he is the hottest club in Europe this season. Some people have even begun to build momentum for Henry, believing that Henry should win the Footballer of the season. In particular, the London media and the French media have supported Henry's Footballer of the Year.

So no one thinks that Monaco can defeat Arsenal.

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

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

On April 8, he finished the quarter-finals.

The semi-finals will be played on April 22. There is nearly half a month in the middle.

In the past half month, Blackburn still has two Premier League games to play. If it is before the previous seasons, these two games are the games that George attaches great importance to. Because in order to compete for the Premier League championship, it is absolutely impossible to lose at this time.

At this time, in the face of strong dialogue, George must have a headache.

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

However, Arsenal has won the Premier League title this season. Therefore, for George, there is no burden. George can rotate as much as he can and don't care about the Premier League results.

Although George is unwilling to give up the second place to Chelsea, the Champions League is the most important thing than the small idea in his mind.

In the game against Liverpool, George used most of the substitutes plus some main players. After all, Liverpool is a strong team in the Premier League, and there are many world-class good teams in the team. Blackburn was hit three times by Liverpool's table tennis on the road.

Lost to Liverpool 0 to 3.

Since George joined Blackburn, there has been not much experience of losing zero to three. But George was very calm.

Then he faced Arsenal.

The same goes for Wenger. Now Wenger also focuses on the Champions League. In the 33rd round of the Premier League, Wenger also set up a substitute. The substitute lineup of the two sides is really good, better than the main lineup.

In the end, the two sides played offensive football in Ewood Park. In the end, the score was 2-0.

With only one point in two games, Chelsea overtook Blackburn again and became the second place in the Premier League. This made George a little unhappy.

And Arsenal is only one last step away from the league championship.

In the remaining five rounds, as long as Arsenal scores two points, Arsenal will win the Premier League this season. For Arsenal, which has two points and five rounds left, it is no problem to play football with their eyes closed.

............"George's sword points to the champion!"

"UE Champions League champion, Black is the original!"

George's championship declaration after the game suddenly became the front page of all media newspapers. After the quarter-finals of the Champions League, all the winning coaches were interviewed by the media.

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

Especially George's sentence, "No one can stop us, neither Juventus, nor Milan, nor Porto!", which was greatly enlarged and very eye-catching in the newspaper page.

This sentence can be said to have angered Porto.

Especially Porto's head coach Mourinho. Mourinho is a madman. He is not a good man.

Meeting with Manchester United in the Champions League this season, Mourinho and Ferguson had a good fight. Ferguson said that the Porto players made fake falls, and Mourinho hit Ferguson back, saying that Fanny and Ronaldinho made more fake falls.

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

"In general, only those who are guilty will raise their voices to cover up their inner weakness. Obviously, Coach Levy belongs to this situation.

George smiled in the face of Mourinho's counterattack.

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

After George finished speaking, he continued.

"In fact, coach Mourinho is very good. I have seen Porto's performance in these two seasons, and I think coach Mourinho has great potential. In the next few years, he is likely to become a pivotal head coach in European football.

"When I saw Coach Mourinho, I thought of me back then."

George's old-fashioned evaluation of Mourinho made the reporters who interviewed George laugh. George is only 35 years old this year, while Mourinho is now 41 years old. Thirty-five-year-old people, in the face of 41-year-old people, said that they thought of me in those years, which was funny no matter how they looked at it.

But although it was funny, the reporters present nodded.

Because George is indeed qualified to comment on Mourinho.

When Mourinho was 90 years old, he began his coaching career in Amadora. He is just an assistant coach. After Porto and Barcelona, they are all assistant coaches. This is ten years.

It was not until 2000 that I began to teach. It's only been four years now.

But George is different.

George got the coaching certificate in 1990, and began his career as a head coach in 1995. Completed the three-year double jump in Burnley. After that, I arrived at Blackburn and began a glorious journey. George has been coaching for the ninth season by this season.

Whether in terms of coaching time or honors, George is stable for Mourinho.

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

Sure enough, after George said this, the Sun even made a big headline "George is the second!"

Analysis of George and Mourinho, both of whom have good grades and are young coaches. More importantly, neither of them has a good temper. They are all famous coaches in European football. In this way, they said that Mourinho was the second to George.

George couldn't help laughing when he read the newspaper.

There used to be many old coaches who talked about George in a reprimanding tone. At that time, George hated those old coaches so much. But now George suddenly feels that there is a reason why seniority can last for so long in British football.

It's also a good thing to use seniority to suppress juniors.

Thinking of flirting with himself, Mourinho, the most beautiful head coach after entering the 21st century, was still quite proud.

What? Now George is more famous and honorable than Mourinho. I just looked down at Mourinho, gurgling!

After seeing the news, Mourinho was very angry.

Who is Mourinho? He is a very proud person.

Not to mention George, even Clough, who has withdrawn from football, Manchester United's head coach Ferguson, and Mourinho's very respected Robson, none of them is qualified to say that Mourinho is their successor.

Therefore, if you see "George second", how can you not let Mourinho grit his teeth?
