194 Manchester United (Part I)

The Blackburn games were also really interesting, with Manchester United and Arsenal in the remaining two rounds.

It's not really about Blackburn Rovers and Leeds United competing for a place in the UEFA Cup, it's a minor issue right now. The biggest concern in English football right now is the Premier League title race.

After 36 rounds of play, Arsenal are in first place in the Premier League with 79 points. Manchester United, on the other hand, is in second place with 75 points.

In fact, the difference of four points is not very much. But the problem is that there are only two rounds left in the game, and that's a difficult gap to get over. Combined with the goal difference between them, Arsenal have a goal difference of 46 compared to Manchester United's 40. The goal difference difference is six.

With the current score of the two teams, it may be necessary to see who has the more goal difference in the end.

Now all the media is focused on who will win the title between Arsenal and Manchester United. Of course, Arsenal have the best chance of winning the title right now, but they have two games left away against Leeds United and Blackburn Rovers. It's not a good schedule.

If Arsenal win the title, then it will be Arsene Wenger who will lead Arsenal to defend the title. If a league is three times in a row, then it will be said to have dominated this time.

And the defending champion can be regarded as a strong performance of this team. Arsenal are completely different from the original nouveau riche like Blackburn, and his strong rise as a traditional English club has attracted more people.

Of course, Manchester United, as the undisputed hegemon since the establishment of the Premier League, will not give up the title so obediently.

Although at the start of the season, Chelsea also joined the championship game. But with almost two-thirds of the league schedule to play, Chelsea are slowly out of contention. Others just feel sorry for Vialli's Chelsea, but George knows.

Since Arsene Wenger took over Arsenal, there have been eight years of Manchester United and Arsenal rivalry in the Premier League. It is also a PK between two world-class coaches, Arsene Wenger and Alex Ferguson. Chelsea and Liverpool are just foils for their two teams in the league.

They will play Blackburn Rovers in the last two rounds, and it can be said that Blackburn has become one of the most important forces in the Premier League title.

George looked at the standings and the goal difference, and saw that Arsenal's goal difference was bleeding in his heart. Mom, Arsenal's goal difference can be so much now, and it is the one who has contributed the most. A game gave them eight clean sheets.

If Arsenal wins the championship this season, when later generations count this season, will it be said that it is because Blackburn Rovers lost to Arsenal 0-8 that Arsenal will win the championship. That's really wrong.

However, George did not have an air traffic control at this time, Arsenal and Manchester United who could win the title. Blackburn faced two strong opponents, but it was not so easy. As long as one move is not careful, it is very likely to lose both games.

Leeds are four points behind Blackburn Rovers but have two games left. Before the dust settles, there's a good chance that two games will cost Blackburn a season of hard work for George.

So the first thing to prepare for is the Manchester United game.

…………

It's the end of the season, and it's May.

Today's Ewood Park is set to be the highlight of this round. Of course, there is another major event in the same time period, and that is Leeds United's home game against Arsenal.

These two games decided the fate of the four teams. Manchester United and Arsenal in the Premier League title tie, Blackburn Rovers and Leeds United in the battle for a place in the UEFA Cup.

If it had been before the season, no one would have thought that Blackburn would have beaten Manchester United. But now, even Blackburn's victory over Manchester United is not an upset. Even the Premier League champions of Manchester United and Arsenal have to look at George's face.

George spares any team, and the other team loses a lot.

"Bang bang bang!" George slammed the tactics board hard. "There is only one goal in this game, which is to win. Four points are not safe because our next game is against Arsenal. Those last-minute kills and overtaking the score are really exciting. But I prefer to take the lead early. ”

'I can't expect Leeds to make mistakes or lose this game because we still have Arsenal to console ourselves. So I'm going to win this game. ”

George really didn't want to work hard for a season, and in the end he was overtaken by Leeds United again. That's not interesting.

'But we want to win and Manchester United need to win even more. Even if Manchester United beat us, they won't necessarily win the title. If there is a draw or a loss, then this year's Premier League title is completely out of play. So when it comes to being in a hurry, they are even more anxious. ”

Truth be told, Manchester United are perfect at the moment, especially the combination of their midfielders, which couldn't be more perfect. Although George is very confident in his midfield, he still has no bottom in his heart when he has a hard time with Manchester United.

But now the two teams have a different mentality and United have to win this game to have any chance of winning the title. United could not accept any other result than a victory.

That's what George was able to take advantage of. And George must be able to take advantage of it.

Although George was also anxious, it was far less anxious than Ferguson. Alex Ferguson has been the Premier League's No. 1 coach for nearly a decade. No coach can match Ferguson, that good old guy Kevin. Keegan was almost driven crazy by Ferguson.

But since Arsene Wenger took charge of Arsenal, it has brought a breath of fresh air to English football. What's more, there is finally a manager on par with Alex Ferguson. Alex Ferguson would never allow Arsene Wenger to ride on his head for two years in a row.

Therefore, George believes that this game must be won by Ferguson.

"I'm going to be patient with Manchester United in this game, if Manchester United don't attack, we won't attack. When Manchester United come out, we'll play their counter-attack. If United aren't in a hurry, then we don't have to. ”

'But when United have the ball, you have to press it all over the field. Manchester United has attacked on three fronts this season, and the FA Cup and Champions League have all reached the final. They attack on three fronts and look fierce. In fact, physical strength is still very problematic. We have a lot better stamina than them, so I'm asking for the whole court. Once the counter-robbery is over, it will immediately counterattack. ”

This season was one of the most famous treble winning seasons in Manchester United's history. United are now in the FA Cup final and the Champions Cup final, but in order to reach those finals, United played a total of nine games in April. Including the FA Cup semi-finals, there are two games because I played a semi-final. Two Champions Cup semi-finals, plus five Premier League matches.

It was this week, and Manchester United included this game, which was the third game. It's almost a game every three days, and with this intensity of fixtures, that's what Manchester United have been able to do so far.

Even if Manchester United's squad is not bad, Ferguson has made reasonable changes. But United still have too many games in April, and they are all two games a week. Their players are still able to grit their teeth and hold on, just by breathing.

But physically, they will definitely have a big problem.

Manchester United's anxiety, their physical problems, as long as these things are beneficial to themselves, George will never give up.

Before the game began, George and Ferguson shook hands politely.

Neither of them had much to say, and now George and Ferguson were anxious. There wasn't much free time to chat.

After seeing George come out, Ewood Park once again remembered "George. The Song of Levy". To say that it is a song is actually to shout George's name on top of a certain melody. The song created by the die-hard fans in the Blackburn stands has become a common song for the Ewood Park crowd when they cheer George.

George waved to the fans in the stands with great ease. George's action will of course be met with even greater cheers from the fans. One season, George really started to conquer the fans in this stadium in one season.

As soon as the game started, people found out. Blackburn Rovers are no longer as aggressive as they used to be in midfield. Blackburn's style of play this season is that of pressing in midfield, and if they concede a goal, they will be blocked in the midfield. Therefore, Blackburn Rovers have a very obvious advantage in possession in many Premier League games this season.

But this time, Blackburn Rovers instead shrank back. The most obvious is Miku, who has always been at the top of Blackburn's attacking core. It's the same position as the opponent's midfield, but today it's only a little bit ahead of Deco.

Deco, on the other hand, is in almost the same position as Makellele.

The two wings are Duff and Romedahl, and the striker is Bellamy. This is a counter-attacking formation.

If United were to reverse the ball at the back, Blackburn would not care. Once the ball is in midfield, the Blackburn Rovers will frantically block it. George was happy with his deployment on the sidelines, and it should be Manchester United who are in a hurry now.

However, Yu Jiao found that Ferguson was even more expressionless. Sitting on the bench, Erlang's legs were crossed, chewing gum, and his face was relaxed.

George found that United's players were not in a hurry, and when he had the chance, he would cross and find York and Cole in front. Paul Scholes's position is erratic, with him visible in various positions in midfield.

Instead, Beckham and Ryan Giggs, who are on the wings, are not as active as they used to be. Manchester United's two flanks are very characteristic, and their attacks are quite characteristic. But they didn't rush in this game.

It's like Manchester United standing outside, cross-legged and shouting at Blackburn: You cowards, come out for me!

And Blackburn is nested inside: if you come in, I won't come out, what can you do to me!

George didn't know if United were really in a hurry, or if they weren't in a hurry. Anyway, Manchester United are still playing according to their usual method, not in a hurry. George frowned, not understanding Ferguson's intentions.

Could it be that I think badly, no? Now Ferguson is testing his patience with himself, and I don't believe that the game will continue as it is now, and Ferguson will not be in a hurry.

I can't mess with myself, I'm going to be patient with Alex Ferguson. Whoever is in a hurry first loses this game. Be steady, steady. So George stood on the sidelines and made a steady gesture.
