The quarter-knockout rounds of the Champions League are finally over.

In addition to the top half of the division, Blackburn Rovers and Porto appeared. In the second half of the division, there are already two teams.

Arsenal comfortably beat Stuttgart 3-1 on aggregate to reach the last four of the Champions League.

The other game was the second big upset in this season's Champions League.

Real Madrid, which eliminated Bayern and entered the quarterfinals of the Champions League, actually eliminated Deschamps' Monaco.

And the process of elimination is also very dramatic.

Real Madrid won 4-2 at home to Monaco. At that time, the whole of Europe believed that Real Madrid had no suspense in the last four of the Champions League. With a score of four to two, can you still turn the tables around?

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

No one thinks Monaco can knock out Real Madrid.

On the road, Real Madrid started very well. Raul's goal gave Real Madrid a 1-0 lead away from home. The aggregate score was five to two ahead.

Everyone thought the game was over.

Even the commentator at the time had already announced that Real Madrid had entered the Champions League semi-finals. Although it wasn't even the end of the first half at that time.

But the scene of the drama surname finally began.

First, Giuli scored the equaliser in the 45th minute, near the end of the first half. Then, just three minutes into the second half, Morientes scored a game-winning goal. gave the old club a knife hard.

This ball made the Real Madrid superstar mess up.

Queiroz, who was in charge of the game, was also in disarray. Sixty-six minutes into the game, Gyuli scored another goal. The game became three to one.

The score remained until the end.

Monaco actually eliminated Real Madrid by virtue of the advantage of away goals. Following Porto's elimination of Manchester United, it created the second big upset in this season's Champions League.

The 03-04 Champions League semi-finals are out. Blackburn, Arsenal, Monaco, Porto.

Unlike last season, when the Premier League teams were wiped out in the Champions League, this time there are two more Premier League teams in the Champions League semi-finals. And in the semi-finals, Blackburn played Porto and Arsenal played Monaco.

A lot of the English media is already looking forward to it.

Blackburn Rovers and Arsenal meet in the Champions League final.

The Champions League final, where two clubs from the same league are played. This La Liga has done it, and Real Madrid defeated Valencia in the final. Serie A has done the same, and Milan beat Juventus to become Champions League champions last season.

But the English league has never done it.

In the previous Champions League, only the league winner could participate. So there is no chance. Later, the Champions Cup was expanded, but few strong teams in the Premier League were able to reach the Champions League final for a while.

Premier League clubs have only won the Champions League twice so far.

Manchester United beat Bayern Munich in '99 and Blackburn Rovers beat Real Madrid in '02.

In fact, 02 is the best opportunity. There were three Premier League teams in the top four at that time, but unfortunately Blackburn eliminated Manchester United and Real Madrid eliminated Arsenal, so in the end, Blackburn played Real Madrid.

Now again, the best opportunity has come.

Monaco, Porto, can be upset because the opponent ignores them. Now it's the Champions League final, can they still cause an upset once they are taken seriously?

Blackburn's form has been up and down this season, but George himself started in cup competition. Playing in the cup, George has always been very knowledgeable. So they don't worry about Blackburn.

As for Arsenal, he is the hottest club in Europe this season. There have even been people who have begun to build momentum for Henry, believing that Henry should be awarded the Footballer of the Year of the season. The London and French media, in particular, supported Henry for the Footballer of the Year.

So no one thinks Monaco can beat Arsenal either.

Arsenal and Blackburn Rovers reached the Champions League final, which can be said to be the long-awaited goal.

Therefore, the British media has already booked the Champions League title this season in advance. This season's Champions League winner must be in the Premier League.

On April 8, the quarterfinals were played.

The semi-finals will be played on April 22. There was almost half a month in between.

In this half a month, Blackburn Rovers still have two Premier League games to play. If it had been placed before previous seasons, both of these games would have been very important to George. Because in order to compete for the Premier League title, at this time, there is absolutely no room for error.

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

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

However, this season Arsenal have won the Premier League title. So for George, there was no burden. George can rotate as much as he wants, not caring about Premier League results.

Although George is reluctant to cede second place to Chelsea, the Champions League is more important than the small thought in his heart.

Against Liverpool, George used most of his substitutes plus some main players. After all, Liverpool is a strong team in the Premier League, and there are many world-class players in the team. Blackburn Rovers were beaten three goals away from home by Liverpool Ping Pong.

Lost 3-0 to Liverpool.

George has not lost much 0-3 since he took charge of Blackburn. But George was calm.

Then we faced Arsenal.

The same goes for Arsene Wenger. Arsene Wenger is now also focusing on the Champions League. In the 33rd round of the Premier League, Arsene Wenger also put on a substitute lineup. The bench lineups of both sides played really well, better than the main lineup.

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

With just one point from two games, Chelsea regained the position of second place in the Premier League, overtaking Blackburn. This made George a little upset.

Arsenal are only one step away from the league title.

With just two points from the remaining five rounds, Arsenal will win the Premier League title this season. Two points, with five rounds remaining, Arsenal will have no problem playing with their eyes closed.

............ "George is on the fence!" ”

"Champions League winner, Blake is supposed to be!"

George's post-race declaration of victory made headlines in all media and 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 the sentence that George said: "No one can stop us, not Juventus, not Milan, and even more so Porto!" It is greatly enlarged and very eye-catching in the newspaper layout.

This sentence can be described as infuriating Porto.

Especially the manager of Porto, Jose Mourinho. Jose Mourinho is a madman, he is not a good man.

Meeting Manchester United in the Champions League this season, Mourinho and Ferguson had a good quarrel. Ferguson said that the Porto players faked falls, and Mourinho hit back at Ferguson, saying that Ruud van Nistelrooy and Ronaldo had more fake falls.

So seeing that Giorgio was so contemptuous of Porto, Mourinho also countered George.

"Under normal circumstances, only those who have a weak heart will raise their voices to cover up their inner weakness. Obviously, Coach Levy is in this situation. ”

George smiled in the face of Mourinho's counterattack.

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

After George finished speaking, he continued.

"Coach Jose Mourinho is actually very good. I've watched Porto's performances over the past two seasons and I think coach Jose Mourinho has a lot of potential. He has a good chance of becoming one of the most important managers in European football in the coming years. ”

"When I see Coach Jose Mourinho, I think of who I used to be."

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. A thirty-five-year-old person, facing a forty-one-year-old person, said that he remembered me back then, no matter how he looked at it, it was funny.

But although it was funny, the reporters present all nodded.

Because George is indeed qualified to say that about Mourinho.

Mourinho began his coaching career at Amadora in 90 years. It's just an assistant coach, and after Porto and Barcelona, it's all assistant coaches. That's 10 years.

It wasn't until 00 that he started to teach. It's only been four years now.

But George is different.

George got his coaching certificate in '90 and started his career as a head coach in '95. Completed three years of double jumps at Burnley. After that, I arrived in Blackburn and began a glorious journey. George is in his ninth season in charge.

Whether it is in terms of coaching time or accolades, George is a steady opponent of Mourinho.

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

Sure enough, after George finished saying this, the Sun even came up with a big headline "George Second!" ”

There is an analysis of George and Mourinho, both of whom have good results and are both young coaches. What's more, neither of them has a very good temper. They are all well-known coaches in European football. In this comparison, they say that Mourinho is second to George.

George couldn't help but laugh as he looked at the newspaper.

There have been many old coaches who have spoken about George in a reprimanding tone. At that time, George hated the old coaches so much. But now George suddenly feels that there is a reason why seniority has been able to continue in English football for so long.

It's also a cool thing to use seniority to pressure juniors.

Thinking that he had flirted with Mourinho, the most beautiful head coach after entering the 21st century, he was still quite proud in his heart.

What's the matter, now George is more famous and honorable than Mourinho. I just look down and comment on Mourinho, giggle!

Indeed, after seeing the news, Mourinho was very angry.

Who is Jose Mourinho? He is a very proud person.

Don't talk about George, even Clough, who has retired from football, Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson, and Robson, whom Mourinho respects very much, none of them are qualified to say that Mourinho is their successor.

Therefore, seeing the words of "George second", how could it not make Mourinho gnash his teeth.
