332 Sequelae (5-1)
Yesterday was the result of Arsenal's entry into the Champions League semi-finals, much to the delight of many English media. But today's media is quite different.
At the time, there were even media predictions about whether Premier League clubs would occupy three of the Champions League semi-finals. Although it seems unlikely, after all, Manchester United are going to play Bayern Munich away. And the first leg was lost at home to Bayern.
But the British media were very confident at the time. I feel that it is a sure thing to occupy two places in the last four of the Champions League.
In their analysis, there is no problem with Blackburn's promotion.
So when the game was over and Manchester United and Blackburn were eliminated from the Champions League, George and Ferguson didn't say anything, but the British media had already taken the initiative to help them fight the draw.
The British media is the most developed media in Europe, and when they get angry, the effect is not ordinary.
All sorts of reports appeared in the media.
"The referee deprived Blackburn of the promotion!"
"The Champions League is full of miscalculations!"
"The Prince of Diving - Aymall!"
"UEFA, how do you compensate Blackburn?"
"George, the victim of miscalculation!"
"Misjudgment, when will you be able to stay away from football?"
There are many problems that even George himself has not thought about, and the British media have done it. The outcry quickly began in the British media. Of course, George's title of "King of Diving" to Aimar seems to be following him.
Not only the British media, but even many Italian and Spanish media reported George's words after the game.
Such an obvious fake fall appeared in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, and because of this fake fall, there were two red cards and a penalty. It can be said that Blackburn's promotion opportunity has been completely ruined.
Blake is not a European giant, if it were teams like Real Madrid and Milan that suffered this kind of punishment, the European media would have fried the pot a long time ago. But even so, the impact of Blackburn's miscalculation was significant.
Blackburn just died boss, and you cheated Blackburn in the middle of the day.
The referee of the match was even threatened with death by Blackburn Rovers fans after the game.
So this time UEFA reacted quickly as well. They immediately called in the referee and held a hearing. Listen to what the referee said.
UEFA made a decision soon after. It was immediately said that it was a misjudgment, a mistake by the referee on duty. Although it was not a deliberate mistake by the referee, UEFA still banned the referee on duty.
Of course, this ban is only on the European side. And there are only four games, which is nothing more than a warning.
Then there is the removal of Cudicini's red card. Of course, Sagnol's red card was maintained, but no additional penalty was imposed on Sagnor. In fact, speaking of Sagnol's pushing action, it is very likely that additional penalties will be added. But UEFA has given Blake enough face this time.
And Aimar's fake fall did not carry out additional punishment. What UEFA means is that there are no rules that impose a ban on players who fake falls.
This made George very dissatisfied.
George faced reporters and was angry at UEFA's decision. Especially for Aimar's decision. "I think that's so unfair. The cost of a fake fall is too low. After a fake fall, if it is not detected by the referee, then it is a penalty. And the most that was found was a yellow card. It's a great deal. Isn't this just conniving at the proliferation of fake falls? ”
"And a fake fall completely changed the trend of a fight. After the game, there will be no ban on players who fake falls, what kind of rule is this? There will definitely be more and more players faking falls in the future. ”
Fake falls have become more and more an art form.
In the Premier League alone, there are more and more players who fake falls. Including the current Blackburn in Pire and Drogba, they are all the leaders of fake falls in the original history. Of course, when it comes to fake falls, it is definitely impossible to bypass the masters of Manchester United, such as Vanney, Rooney, and Xiao Xiaoluo.
This is also because the cost of fake falls is too low.
Like this time, Aimar received some infamy at most. The price paid and the results achieved are completely incompatible.
………… No matter how unjust it is to be eliminated, life still has to go on.
After the Valencia game, George didn't have a little time to rest. The Premier League is coming soon.
On April 21, Blackburn Rovers played Sunderland at home.
Sunderland this season are the same dark horse as last season. The momentum is as strong as last season. But compared to Blackburn, Sunderland is no match for Blackburn at all.
Playing Sunderland at home should be a sure game.
However, it may have been influenced by the previous game, and Blackburn Rovers lost 0-1 at home.
In this game, George did everything he could. But the impact of the loss to Valencia is not so easy to undo it. Everyone's actions on the field are unconsciously a little big, or there are some problems.
It was eventually scored by Sunderland.
0-1, at the most important moment, it turned out to be a 0-1 defeat.
This made George very angry.
Thankfully, United were held to a 1-1 draw by Manchester City in the Manchester derby. Manchester City are the relegation favourites right now, but they don't need to agitate against city rivals Manchester United. At Old Trafford, it's a tiger.
They were able to draw against Manchester United at Old Trafford.
George relieved himself slightly. After 34 rounds of Premier League matches, Blackburn Rovers are still seven points ahead of the standings.
After a week's rest, the 35th round of the Premier League began on April 28.
Manchester United started early on above Blackburn Rovers as they won 2-0 away at Middlesbrough. The more we get to the end of the season, the better the United will be. Ferguson is really an old man, and he starts to really exert his strength at the end of the season.
George thinks that Blackburn has now shaken off all the shadows of losing to Valencia.
Blackburn Rovers are going to St James' Park to challenge Newcastle United.
After Robson entered Newcastle United, Newcastle United's results did not improve immediately. Newcastle is still ranked 12th in the Premier League, which is completely inconsistent with the old powerhouse Newcastle.
As long as they win this game, Blackburn's league title is basically no problem.
Because after beating Newcastle, Blackburn still have three opponents left. They are all strong opponents, West Ham United, Manchester United, Arsenal. But with three rounds remaining, the seven-point advantage is unlikely to be overtaken by any opponent.
So George is a must-win for this game.
And the Blackburn players also swore that they must win this game.
But things always went unexpectedly, and Blackburn went to Newcastle and lost 1-2 to their opponents.
Blackburn have only lost two of their previous 30-odd league games. But in the final stage, it turned out to be two consecutive losses, so that the original advantage slowly disappeared.
At the end of the 35th round of the Premier League, Blackburn's advantage over Manchester United is only four points.
After four minutes, Manchester's media was active again.
"Crashing Blackburn!"
'It's a young team. From the manager to the players, they are very young. They don't have the experience to take away the top league titles, and they are completely inadequate. ”
'You can see that in the game against Valencia. Blackburn was in a good situation, and a miscalculation made Blackburn completely lose all its advantages. ”
"After the defeat to Valencia, it was another two consecutive defeats. Blackburn is finished. Young coach George. Levy, there is no way. I believe that after a direct collision with Manchester United, the top of the table will completely change hands this season. ”
The media that said Blackburn was finished doesn't know how many.
They all seem to have forgotten that just half a month ago, they were still touting George as a famous European coach. But after the poor results of the competition, all kinds of voices filled the media.
Even a lot of people got in touch with Jack. Walker's death.
They all say Jack. Walker is the God of Blackburn.
Jack. Walker's death took Blackburn's soul with him. Since Jack. After Walker's death, Blackburn's results plummeted.
They think there's a connection.
Anyway, the previous solid Premier League championship looks like it's going to come to naught. With the exception of Blackburn's own media, the rest of the media commented in a mocking tone.
At this time, you will be able to see a person's popularity.
Keegan, the good old man, was reversed by 12 points. But his popularity is much better than George's, and although there are many media ridicules, more media only praise Ferguson and no more criticism of Keegan. On the contrary, there are more regrets.
Who made Keegan a good old man in English football, the popularity is too good.
But George is different.
George is so young and has achieved such good results, which is already a red eye. In addition, George is open-mouthed in front of the media, and I don't know how many media reporters have been damaged. I don't know how many clubs have been satirized? Almost all the opponents in the Premier League have not been damaged by George.
Therefore, once George has bad grades, these media will besiege George.
Mark. In his column, Laurenson wrote "The Bubble Bursts!" ”。 Saying that George's success is the biggest bubble in English football in recent years, and now he is finally going to be beaten back to square one.
All the media were waiting for Blackburn to lose again in the round of thirty-six.
But fortunately, this time it didn't go as they wished. Blackburn Rovers face West Ham United away and have not missed again. A 2-0 scoreline completely defeated West Ham United, which was troubled internally and externally. Redknapp is expected to be unable to stay at West Ham next season.
On the other side, Manchester United is still strong. With a 3-0 win at home to Derby County, the gap to Blackburn Rovers remains four points.
