With the victory over Juventus, George was immediately satisfied.

Now we're in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

George returned to England with a triumphant spring breeze. Of course, just as excited was Arsene Wenger.

Arsenal are now the most talked-about team in Europe. In the Premier League, it is currently at the top of the table. And the performance is very good, it has been far behind all competitors. Whether it's Blackburn, Manchester United or Chelsea, they are all left behind by Arsenal by double digits.

Arsenal are already almost booked to win the Premier League this season.

The current Premier League was in the mid-to-late nineties of the last century, when Manchester United and Arsenal were competing for supremacy.

In the current Premier League, all the strong teams are European powerhouses. Including Manchester United, Blackburn, Chelsea, which one is well-known in European football. But they are now in the Premier League, completely suppressed by Arsenal.

Everyone can imagine Arsenal's strength.

And Arsenal is not the kind of team that is an expert in the internal war and an outsider in the foreign war. In the Champions League, Arsenal's performance has always been outstanding. In the group stage, a 5-1 away game against Inter Milan, that game really shocked the European football world.

Now Arsenal have also reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

Arsenal are now among the best in the odds of winning the Champions League.

There is only one person in the Premier League powerhouse at this time, and he can only frown.

That's Alex Ferguson.

Because the first upset of this season's Champions League has appeared.

Manchester United were held to a 1-1 draw at home by Porto. The score of the two legs was 2-3. The mighty Manchester United turned out to lose to Porto from Portugal. Ferguson, a famous European coach, actually lost to a fledgling Mourinho.

This became the first big upset in the Champions League this season.

Porto is famous.

Manchester United is tragic.

Ferguson has been clearly under pressure in recent seasons. Because Manchester United haven't won any major trophies in four seasons. Not to mention the Champions League, not even the league title. Manchester United even had no choice but to save their lives with a Carabao Cup last season.

Because Manchester United's results are so poor.

Even among Manchester United fans, there are already voices that Ferguson is old and wants him to get out of class. One can imagine how much pressure Ferguson is on right now.

I didn't expect this season to be another tragedy for Manchester United.

was thrown off by Arsenal by nearly 20 points, and in the Champions League, it was eliminated by Porto, a place that no one looked down on.

Immediately Ferguson became the target of public criticism.

Everyone is blaming Ferguson and thinking that Ferguson is old. There are also many British media who believe that Beckham's departure is the reason why Manchester United has been so declining this season. The new Xiao Xiao Luo, although his personal ability is excellent, his skills are also fancy.

But it's too bad to put in the team. I just know how to show off my skills, but it doesn't help the team in any way.

That's not at all comparable to David Beckham.

Of course, this is the idea of the British media. But this is a common idea of many people at the moment. Xiao Xiaoluo, is it strong?

Xiao Xiao Luo is now just a genius boy who plays a bicycle and pedals. For Manchester United's help and contribution, and Beckham can't say the same thing. Even because he is too obsessed with individual skills and not with the team.

Some of the big guys in the team are already quite dissatisfied with him.

Ruud van Nistelrooy, in particular, misses David Beckham a lot. He has said in public several times that he misses Beckham.

Don't look at Ferguson's influence on English football.

At this point, who cares who you are? Don't say it's Ferguson, it's Ferguson and his uncle are useless. The overwhelming accusations were all directed at Ferguson.

George had a little compassion in his heart.

Ferguson is a European coach no matter how he says it. Now it is so criticized.

But George didn't go up to help. If Ferguson can get out of class now under pressure, it will be a very good result for George. Once Alex Ferguson is sacked, United's threat will drop by more than half.

Most of the coaches in the Premier League are hoping that Ferguson, an old immortal, will leave class soon.

Of course, George also knew that this was unlikely.

In this case, the Premier League will continue.

In the 28th round of the Premier League, Arsenal continued their good performance. A 2-1 home win over Charlton Athletic cemented their place at the top of the Premier League.

Of course, the same is true for Blackburn.

A 2-0 away win over Aston Villa.

Only Manchester United, who were eliminated from the Champions League, were held to a 1-1 draw away from home by Fulham. If you don't work a little harder, you won't even be able to secure a fourth-place position.

………… After the 28th round of the Premier League, Ferguson was even more disappointed. But George and Arsene Wenger didn't have time to do so, as the draw for the Champions League quarter-finals was imminent.

The list of Champions League quarter-finals is as follows.

Real Madrid, Milan, Lyon, Monaco, Porto, Blackburn, Arsenal, Stuttgart.

When it comes to the quarter-finals, there is not as much attention as the quarter-finals.

What is the same group avoidance, the same country club avoidance. Therefore, at this time, the quality of the lottery depends on God's arrangement. Of course, it also depends on the mood of UEFA.

If UEFA is happy and gives you an underdog, then you are secretly happy.

If UEFA is not happy and gives you a strong team, then you can only suffer.

The consequences of shrinking a group came out.

By the time of the top 16, everyone had already felt it. But if you look at the quarterfinals, you can feel it very clearly.

That is, there are too many dark horses. Or that there are too many weak teams.

Although Monaco and Porto are outright dark horses. But Lyon and Stuttgart were able to make it to the quarter-finals entirely because there is only one group stage now. Therefore, it is not too difficult to break through from the group stage.

Plus the draw for the quarterfinals is good. Encountered the same underdogs. That's why there are so many underdogs in the quarterfinals.

If it is a two-round group stage like before, it will be difficult for Stuttgart and Lyon to appear. Even Porto and Monaco will not necessarily be able to make it out of the second round of the group stage.

For George, though, it's a good thing.

Because the more belly, the easier it is on the road to the Champions League final.

That's what George thought.

It's a pity that as soon as the draw for the quarterfinals came out, George couldn't laugh.

Damn UEFA!

Mom, Blackburn had bad luck and actually drew Milan.

This kind of unfortunate thing, who do you talk to? There are few strong teams in the entire quarterfinals, and the teams are generally weak. In this case, it turned out to be Milan. If there was no UEFA in it, George would not have believed it.

It has to be UEFA.

It has to be them, for the ratings.

Blackburn and Milan, though not a feud. However, Blackburn Rovers were eliminated by Milan without any suspense last season, which made many people in European football see George's jokes. There are also many Italian media who are extremely ridiculed by George.

George didn't fight back, though.

But the Blackburn press and the Italian media, especially the Milan press, have done a lot of work.

Now that the enemies see each other, they must be very red-eyed.

That's one of the best ways to boost ratings.

Blackburn Rovers are in the top half, in addition to Milan, there are also Porto and Lyon.

In other words, the winner of Blackburn Rovers and Milan will chase a Champions League final with the winner of Porto and Lyon.

George cursed in his heart.

Why don't you let me fight Leon, how easy it is to hit Leon. Since the quarter-finals, George has been looking forward to playing either Sparta Prague or Lyon. It's a pity that they didn't get their way, and now they have to play Milan.

Mommy, look at Arsenal's draw.

It is estimated that in previous seasons, UEFA has been boring to play tricks on Arsenal. In the group stage of previous seasons, Arsenal were thrown into the absolute group of death by UEFA in each season. Perhaps to make up for it, this season's Arsenal met Celta Vigo and now Stuttgart in the knockout stages.

George really envied Arsenal. I don't have that luck.

It occurred to George all of a sudden.

Why are dark horses rampant this season.

That's all because Lao Tzu killed all the strong teams. First Juventus, then Milan. Let's see what other strong teams there are.

Right, Milan is a bird?

Last season's revenge has not been avenged, and it happened this season. The provincial Jean George always remembered this shame and pondered how to take revenge. It's good now.

Comforting himself like this, George's cold face finally melted.

After the draw, many reporters surrounded George.

Because in the quarterfinals, there is not only a strong dialogue between Blackburn and Juventus, but also a giant duel between Real Madrid and Bayern Munich. So it's not very conspicuous.

But as soon as the quarter-final draw was over, Blackburn's game was very conspicuous.

Because in the entire quarter-finals, there is only one real European power dialogue.

That's Blackburn facing Milan.

Add to that the games between Blackburn Rovers and Milan last season, and all journalists want to hear what George has to say.

"Milan? I think it's good. It happens that the new account and the old account are counted together. Maybe I'm related to Italian football, first Juventus, then Milan. ”

George didn't care at all, and answered the reporter very easily.

"Coach Levy, Blackburn didn't have a solution against Milan last season? Are you so sure you can knock out Milan? ”

The Italian journalist asked Giorgio with a smile.

The Italian club, against Giorgio only Milan has ever succeeded. Others including Roma, Lazio and Juventus were all defeated by Blackburn. So for Milan's victory over Blackburn, Italian football has always been mentioned again and again.

"The world is easy to time. Last season I made a few changes to my team and they didn't fit in completely, so Milan picked up a leak. This season my team has been completely successful. Milan, it's time for them to know that we're good. ”
