George's nostrils turned to the sky, and he said arrogantly, "The Champions League knockout round is my back garden". In an instant, it made the front page headlines of all European media.

I don't know how many people secretly scolded George for being arrogant. But there is no way, George's results in recent seasons are so good. No matter what group they are in, Blackburn can easily show up.

George has been extremely good in Europe.

It first appeared in Europe four years ago. Fresh off on the European stage, George led Blackburn to the UEFA Cup.

And the second time, and the first time to participate in the Champions League. Blackburn are in the quarter-finals of the Champions League. And if it weren't for the miscalculation, I don't know what kind of results would have been achieved.

The third year, that is, last season. George even led Blackburn Rovers to a dark horse to beat Real Madrid in the final. Won the Champions League.

Now, Blackburn Rovers have easily broken through the group of death and reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

George has never missed out in the Champions League group stage. So although George was angry, not many people contradicted him head-on.

With the development of the Internet, many fans have also spoken in the Internet.

Of course, the Blackburn fans were cheering. They like to have a manager who is so confident and has such a surname. If it weren't for George, Blackburn would have been a small fish in England. Many foreign Premier League fans don't know about Blackburn.

But now Blackburn is very famous. Among the Premier League fans abroad, it is estimated that in addition to Manchester United, Arsenal, and Liverpool, Blackburn has the most fans. Even in Asia, Blackburn Rovers fans are estimated to be no less than Arsenal and Liverpool.

It was all brought by George.

While fans of other clubs cursed George.

Anyway, the two sides spat on each other on the Internet, and they were having a lot of fun.

But George has refocused his eyes on the league. Anyway, Blackburn is already the top of the group, even if they lose all the remaining two games, Blackburn will still be the top of the group. In this case, George of course no longer attaches importance to the Champions League group stage.

………… February is over, and March is just around the corner.

On March 1, Blackburn Rovers faced Manchester City at home. Manchester City's head coach is Kevin. Keegan.

What does this person say?

He is a legend in English football. When he was a player, he won the Footballer of the Year twice. He scored numerous goals for Liverpool. He led Liverpool to dominate that time, winning the league title, the UEFA Cup, and the Champions League.

And leaving Liverpool and going to Hamburg, Germany, is also creating a legend.

When the player was Kevin. Keegan has been hailed as the best player of the 70s after Cruyff and Beckenbauer.

Later, when he became a head coach, his coaching results were not bad. During his years at Newcastle, he built Newcastle into a powerhouse in England. During that time, especially before Arsene Wenger took charge of Arsenal, Newcastle were United's most direct rivals.

Although Kevin. Keegan and Ferguson's battle left a laughing stock. But no one can deny Kevin. Keegan's appeal in English football.

And because Kevin. Keegan is very popular, so many people in English football give him a lot of face.

But maybe Kevin. Keegan is a striker and has won a lot of honours. So Kevin. Keegan's teams have big problems. It's about attacking and defending, whether it's in Newcastle or Manchester City.

If you're on a team like Blackburn, there's probably room for development in the offense and defense.

After all, the Blackburn backline is full of famous players. The combination of Campbell and Lucio is still good.

But what kind of defender is Manchester City? Distin and Howie, these two big fools, how can they be compared to Campbell and Lucio. Manchester City's defensive core, in particular, Howie, is completely a big man, slow to turn and even slower to chase back.

Such a player turned out to be Kevin. Keegan is placed in the middle of the pitch and is the heart of the defence. Will the back of Manchester City still work?

Plus Kevin. Keegan didn't know what was serious. Manchester City are a newly promoted team, and they are still playing with three central defenders in League One. It's strange not to die.

George didn't care if Manchester City were a weak team. You Manchester City like to attack, so I'll defend and counter-attack. George was amused by City's weak three-centre-back system. However, it is not to be underestimated Manchester City's attacking power, Manchester City's current striker is Anelka.

Before this game, Anelka told the media that he must give George a good look.

It's a pity that Anelka hasn't made a splash yet, and Blackburn's side has scored two goals on two counterattacks in a row.

Distin and Howie are really not a good guard combination.

As long as he counter-attacks, with an accurate pass, Defoe can easily counter-attack. Defoe is fast and flexible. With Miku in the back, Defoe can receive a lot of good balls.

Defoe is unique. But also, Defoe is alone in the front court, how can he not be alone.

But Defoe alone has already embarrassed Distin and Howie.

At the end of the first half, Blackburn Rovers were already 2-0 up at Manchester City.

But Kevin. Keegan is also an idealist, and his team is all about attacking, attacking, and attacking. George didn't know to admire Kevin. Keegan, or should despise Kevin. Keegan. Anyway, Kevin. Keegan's team is one that George loves to play against.

Blackburn Rovers continued in the second half and had another chance to counter-attack and Defoe completed a hat-trick.

Now Defoe is satisfied.

Although he is not a main player, he is comfortable playing at Blackburn. Because there are passers like Pire and Miku in the back, even his partners Klose and Drogba are strikers who don't eat alone.

These have allowed Defoe to score a lot of goals at Blackburn.

However, in the other venue, Manchester United also won 2-1 comfortably against Leeds United.

At the end of the 29th round of the Premier League, Blackburn Rovers are still six points ahead of Manchester United.

In the thirtieth round of the Premier League, Blackburn will face Arsenal at home.

Arsenal are now 10 points behind Blackburn. Speaking of which, Arsenal is also quite sad, with a good start to the season, almost leaving Manchester United and Blackburn in double figures. There was even a time when Arsene Wenger claimed that the current Arsenal was the most perfect Arsenal.

It's a pity that Arsene Wenger was defeated by a fateful opponent before he could finish his words.

That man is England who have just emerged this year, but who has already become the most talked-about talent in all of English football. He's Wayne. Rooney.

On October 19, 2002, the team that had just been highly praised by Arsene Wenger himself finally lost. They were beaten by Everton. In the final minute, a teenager who had just come on as a substitute beat Seaman with a stunning curling goal. On this day, Wayne Rooney was only 16 years and 360 days old, and a new record was set for the youngest goalscorer in the Premier League. TV commentators shouted: Remember his name, Wayne Rooney!

Yes, it's Wayne Rooney.

This talented teenager who has ended Arsenal's 49-game unbeaten streak in history has stepped on Arsenal to become famous when he first debuted.

What is a goal to become famous, this is called a real goal to become famous.

Rooney is on fire. Just as the English football world expected Owen to do, all the big names in English football believe that Wayne Rooney will be the new leader of England's attack.

And behind Rooney's fire is the lonely Arsenal. Asen became the backdrop for Rooney.

After that, Arsenal, who had excellent results, began to rise and fall in form. By the time January came, Arsenal's lead had begun to fade. By March, Arsenal's form was getting sluggish.

It is already completely disqualified from competing for the championship.

If that's all there is, Arsenal certainly wouldn't be miserable. What's even more tragic is that this time the four groups in the second round of the Champions League group stage are all the group of death. Arsenal were unlucky because they were in a more miserable group than Blackburn.

Arsenal are in Group C, and this group has only one belly Lokomotiv Moscow. In addition to him, the other three teams are the biggest names in European football. Needless to say, Arsenal has performed very well in the Champions League in recent seasons.

Apart from Arsenal, the other two teams are two of the best clubs in Champions League history. One is Real Madrid, who have won the Champions League eight times, and the other is Milan, who have won the Champions League five times.

Arsenal, Milan, Real Madrid, were put in a group, you say sad or not.

At the end of the four rounds, Milan had 10 points, Real Madrid had 8 points, Arsenal had only 4 points and Lokomotiv Moscow had 1 point. Arsenal are already difficult to appear in this group. Unless there is a miracle.

Therefore, it can be said that the current Arsenal is empty. Arsenal was not a club with a lot of willpower, but now that it has become this situation, of course, the willpower has dropped a lot.

plus midfielder Patrick Vieira, who withdrew from the game before the game due to injury. So this time against Blackburn Rovers away, Arsenal also played weakly.

Unlike Blackburn's momentum, Arsenal's side played in a mess. In the face of such an opponent, even George felt that it was not interesting.

Patrick Vieira didn't play, so Arsenal midfielders were Edu and Gilbert. Silva.

Miku wasn't even afraid of Vieira, let alone Edu and Gilbert.

Without Patrick Vieira, the ruler of midfield, Arsenal's midfield really can't stand up. And although a lot of defenders have been added, the current Arsenal central defenders are either too young or too old. Only Mex's can take the lead.

Therefore, the main Arsenal central defenders are Mexs and Keown.

Drogba faced the two of them and completely unleashed his true colors of Warcraft. Rampage, although the shooting accuracy is not high, but still scored a goal and assisted a goal. In the end, they won 2-0 against Arsenal.

United, who have recently been plagued by tensions between Alex Ferguson and David Beckham, won a hard-fought 1-0 away win over Aston Villa and would have had it been a draw had it not been for Ruud van Nistelrooy's late shot.

It was a tough win, but it was still three points. The pressure continues on Blackburn, who is still at the top of the list.

George could feel that Manchester United behind him was already with its mouth wide open, and as long as George dared to show the slightest hole, he would pounce. That's the pressure at the top of the list.

Of course, Ferguson and Manchester United are under more pressure.

Now the issue between Alex Ferguson and Beckham is still noisy. It's been a month, but there's no sign of subsidence at all. And Manchester United are waiting for Blackburn to make a mistake, and Ferguson can't afford to make the slightest mistake.

If United make the slightest mistake, then Manchester United will lose the possibility of catching up.
