"Owen, don't overthink it. Take good care of your injuries and try to get back to the team as soon as possible. ”

Hargreaves' leg injury is already stable. Hargreaves is being treated at the hospital.

It's December, and there will be more and more Blackburn Rovers by then. There wasn't time to come and see Hargreaves, so George took the time to come and see Hargreaves now. However, it seems that Hargreaves is in good spirits.

Facing the first serious injury of his career, he was not discouraged at all.

"Head, don't worry. It's a little injury, nothing at all. I'll be back in the team soon. ”

Hargreaves is optimistic.

Handsome face with a charming smile. Even George had to admit that Hargreaves was handsome. It's not an ordinary handsome, if it weren't for Kaka coming to the team, the most handsome in the club would be Hargreaves.

Seeing Hargreaves' confident expression, George liked it.

Hargreaves is a very mentally good midfielder. George likes the kind of players the most, they can keep their composure in any situation. It is also able to influence other players around you.

After seeing Hargreaves, George met with Hargreaves' attending doctor. And only then did he leave the hospital.

As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the hospital, George suddenly remembered that the historical Hargreaves was a glass man. And he is a famous glass man in world football, especially after arriving at Manchester United, he is lying in a hospital bed for almost seven or eight months a year.

What if Hargreaves really became the Glass Man?

Hargreaves' strength is unquestionable. If Hargreaves is healthy enough to be around twenty-five, George even thinks Hargreaves can be the best midfielder in the world. But will Hargreaves be fit to his prime?

Take advantage of the good sale now, sell him to cash out?

Hargreaves is worth no less than anything now. Especially last season, when they were still the main players, with Blackburn Rovers winning the Premier League. Hargreaves is widely praised in the Premier League as an English player.

He was also selected for Eriksen's England national team. In the national team, even more highly regarded than Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard.

If sold, 20 million pounds is the lowest price.

If the price is raised slightly, it is not impossible to reach 30 million pounds.

But as soon as this thought came out, George was even startled himself. It turns out that he is really not a good person?

When Hargreaves was strong, he used him desperately. But now Hargreaves is showing signs of injury and immediately wants to sell him for cash. What a snob yourself!

George quickly shook his head.

I think that's too impersonal. George kept silently saying in his heart, brother, I am a human being.

But that kind of thought just now, after it was generated, George himself was not allowed to think about it. That thought had begun to take root in George's mind, but George didn't admit it or think about it.

Hargreaves' injury, while not gloating, is a happy thing for the rest of Blackburn's midfielders.

Including Essien, Parker. Essien can finally get the main position, and Parker has more opportunities to play.

On November 26, Blackburn Rovers host the fifth game of the Champions League group stage.

Blackburn Rovers host AEK Athens, the weakest side in the group and have already been eliminated.

For Athens AEK Blackburn players are gnashing their teeth. The last time they were away from home, against AEK Athens, the Blackburn players spent the whole game practicing on goal. It's a pity that I don't know which god I offended, more than 20 shots on goal, four times on the post, and there was not a single goal.

So back at home, the Blackburn players are looking for revenge.

It's a pity that I really don't know if it's God playing Blackburn. This time at home, Blackburn's advantage was even more pronounced. But I don't know what kind of madness Athens AEK is crazy about, it has already been eliminated in the group stage, and it is still so desperate.

And it is not known whether the Athenian AEK was protected by the goddess Athens.

Blackburn had a lot of good chances anyway, but none of them could get on the scoresheet.

George watched Blackburn players squander chances again and again, and he was already numb on the sidelines. Athens, the Greek team, I really hope never to run into a Greek club again.

What kind of competition is this?

In the end, Blackburn could only win a 0-0 at home again.

Luck? Is it really luck?

Blackburn have won against an unknown number of big teams. But in this weak club, which is not in George's eyes at all, it turned out to be two draws with Blackburn. This made George quite dissatisfied.

On the other hand, Monaco beat PSV Eindhoven very easily.

Monaco won 2-1 at home to PSV Eindhoven.

In this way, this group has confirmed the first qualifying place. Monaco secured the top spot in the group stage with 12 points. Blackburn have eight points, PSV Eindhoven has six points, and Athens AEK has two points.

The most frustrating thing is that the two points of Athens AEK were actually won by Blake itself.

Now Blackburn Rovers and PSV Eindhoven are both likely to emerge. However, in the last game, Blackburn Rovers played Monaco away, while PSV Eindhoven played Athens at home. Who will be able to show up is everyone's concern.

………… Blackburn, who held their breath in the Champions League group stage, will play the club with the strongest momentum in the Premier League as soon as they return to the league.

In the 03-04 season, who is the best team in the Premier League?

Of course, it's Arsenal who have been lying on the back for many years.

Arsenal's main squad is very stable at the moment. Young people thrive, including Ashley. Kerr has become one of the most famous left-backs in England and world football. Eriksen is now the brain.

In the end, it's with Ashley. Cole is still Daniel at left-back for the national team. Morrison played at left-back for the national team.

Mex, who transferred from Ligue 1, has also adapted to the Premier League. He became a mainstay of Arsenal's backline. At Keown's side, more and more mature.

Dalma on the left. Under Wenger's tutelage, he has become the first choice on the left side of the French national team. Even squeezed Blackburn's Pire.

In addition to these young people, it goes without saying that the stars of their playing years are not to mention.

Thierry Henry, Patrick Vieira, Ljungberg, Gilberto, these people make up the current Arsenal main squad.

And now Arsenal is not weak even as a substitute. After four years of lying on the batter, Arsene Wenger left behind a very good squad. Among the benches were Edu, Toure, Wiltord, Senderos, Parlour, Almunia and Kanu.

So the current Arsenal squad is perfect.

This can be seen in their results.

Arsenal have won ten and drawn four of their first 14 Premier League games without a single defeat.

Chelsea, on the other hand, have won nine, drawn two and lost three of their first 14 games.

Manchester United are in good form in 14 rounds. Nine wins, one draw and four losses.

It can be said that since the beginning of this season, the top teams in the Premier League have started quite well. Arsenal are in the best form.

Blackburn started the game well as well. In 14 rounds of league games, 10 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses have been achieved. The gap between the four teams is also a two-point or three-point gap.

George certainly knows how good Arsenal have been this season. This season has been Arsenal's unbeaten and title-winning season. Although George has already snatched the likes of Campbell and Pire from Arsene Wenger.

But Arsene Wenger has also completed the puzzle for Arsenal.

Arsene Wenger replaced the all-time Campbell with Mex, and Derma for Pire.

The current Arsenal are balanced in attack and defence, and the age structure is also very suitable.

Arsenal are strong in the league and stumble in the Champions League. Arsenal's start to the Champions League is even worse than Blackburn's.

They have drawn one and lost two of their first three Champions League group games. There is no hope at all, but because there are Inter, Dynamo Kyiv, and Lokomotiv Moscow in this group, it is not too much of an upset.

But it didn't take long for Arsenal to react.

In the fourth game, they won 1-0 at home to Dynamo Kyiv. Then in the fifth game, it beat Inter Milan 5-1. The Champions League qualification situation has improved dramatically, and as long as the last game is won, there will be no problem for Arsenal to appear.

On December 6, 2003, Blackburn Rovers played Arsenal away.

Highbury Stadium is indeed not worthy of the identity of an English giant like Arsenal.

And for the huge number of Arsenal fans, Highbury Stadium is indeed too small. Not to mention the 40,000-person Highbury Stadium, even the Emirates Stadium, which will be 60,000 in the future, will be full.

"Arsenal, Arsenal don't seem to be in a good situation in the Champions League. If they lose in the final round, Arsenal will miss out in the group stage. ”

George greeted Arsene Wenger before the game. Then he smiled and talked to Wenger.

"George, my last game was at home against Lokomotiv Moscow. Blackburn look like they're going to play Monaco away? Tut-tut, Monaco is not a tough nut to crack. You have to be careful. ”

George laughed when he heard Wenger's words.

"The group stage has never been in my eyes."

Because five days after playing this game, it will be the last game of the Champions League group stage. However, neither Arsenal nor Blackburn Rovers stayed because of this, but instead played the main force. That's why George teased Arsene Wenger.

'It's a big conversation in the Premier League. This season, the Premier League's major teams have started the season extremely well. Arsenal and Blackburn have not yet confirmed a place in the Champions League group stage, but they are still the main players in the game. ”

"Arsenal's starting line-up is goalkeeper Lehmann and the back line is Ashley. Cole, Keown, Mex, Lauren, Dalma, Vieira, Gilberto, Ljungberg in midfield, Thierry Henry and Bergkamp up front. ”

"Blackburn's starting line-up is goalkeeper Van der Sar, the back line is Reese, Lucio, Campbell, Sagnol, the midfielders are Pire, Alonso, Essien, Miku, Kaka, and the forward line is Klose.
