After playing Liverpool, Blackburn's strength shocked the English football world.

This game has also become the most focused report of major newspapers and media after the game.

Although at the start of the season, most of the media put Blackburn Rovers in the Premier League title contender. But that's all based on Blackburn's strong main line-up. But Blackburn Rovers rotated almost half of the squad for this game.

From the back line to midfield, George made a lot of substitutions.

But it's such a crippled lineup, and Liverpool, who is also a strong player, has no power to fight back. Therefore, the competition attracted everyone's attention.

So much so that the Sun, which has always had an average relationship with George, actually wrote such a headline.

"Blackburn Rovers are on the run for the league title!"

"The league title is a season's performance. Any team that wants to win the league title can't have too thin a squad. This is especially true for clubs that also have European competitions. ”

"We were pleasantly surprised to see the strength of Blackburn's bench in this game. Nineteen-year-old Hargreaves is becoming more mature, and thirty-five-year-old McAllister is getting older. China's Sun Jihai, William. Gala is all good. Even playing in the middle of the Premier League is no problem. Don't say there's Davao. Suke, Panucci, David. Dunn these players. Blackburn's bench thickness is not comparable even to Manchester United. ”

"We have a top-three squad in the Premier League and such a strong bench line-up. Blackburn's strength is fully mature, and they are eyeing the Premier League champions! ”

Blackburn Rovers struggled with Manchester United until the final rounds last season before withdrawing from the title race.

This season, Blackburn Rovers have shown great strength at the start of the season. After three rounds of matches, Manchester United have only one win and two draws. At the end of three league games, Blackburn Rovers are already four points ahead of Manchester United.

Especially seeing Blackburn settle Liverpool cleanly. Many football commentators were amazed at Blackburn's prowess.

"Veteran's second spring!"

"McAllister, a thirty-five-year-old veteran. If it weren't for the fact that Blackburn Rovers and Liverpool were both competing in the summer, many would have a player on the verge of retiring. But in today's game, McAllister controlled the tempo perfectly. ”

'Against the midfield of Hamann and Steven Gerrard, McAllister was very comfortable controlling the game. The defense and offense are doing so well. The defensive end was leaky, and several long passes showed great skill. And he is full of physical strength, and the running distance on the two occasions has reached 10,000 meters. I don't look like I'm thirty-five years old. ”

"George made this money. Get such a great player for free. ”

Although McAllister only played two games at Blackburn, he was very good in both games. So the comments were full of praise for McAllister's performance.

With a key name win and the UEFA Super Cup, Blackburn are happy internally. Williams wanted to make a bigger celebration, but George didn't agree.

If a UEFA Super Cup is celebrated with a big ceremony, it will definitely make people laugh.

The UEFA Super Cup is also worth making a big move. It's a shame.

Eventually, Williams agreed to George's idea and held a small celebration within the club.

………… After the celebration, George couldn't rest because it was a national team game. George followed Williams to Zurich, Switzerland. Participate in the draw ceremony for the first round of the Champions League group stage held by UEFA.

George did go to the UEFA Cup draw last season.

However, since the reform of the Champions Cup, the influence of the Champions Cup has increased with each passing day. Unlike in the past, where only the league champions participated, since the reform of the Champions Cup, the strongest teams in European football have basically been able to participate in the European Champions Cup.

Therefore, the Champions League has completely become a feast for giants. The impact is far greater than the Champions League of a decade ago.

If a strong team can't participate in the Champions League for a long time, it's embarrassing to say that it's a strong team.

And the head coaches who came to the draw ceremony for the first round of the group stage of the Champions League are a big gathering of the best managers in European football. The head coach of the club who came here today basically includes all the managers of the current strong teams in European football.

When George arrived, the draw had not yet begun.

The managers who knew each other got together in twos and threes to chat.

As the manager of Real Madrid, Bosque also has a lot of coaches around him to talk to. Bosque didn't seem to like to talk much, listening to others, occasionally nodding and occasionally shaking his head. But he always kept smiling.

And Ferguson is not only a huge influence in English football. The same is true in European football. There are a lot of coaches around Ferguson. Ferguson seemed to be talkative, laughing out loud and saying something.

Eriksen is in high spirits. Having just led Lazio to the Serie A title last season, Eriksen's coaching career at Lazio has reached its peak.

At this time, Ancelotti, who was only 41 years old and was still a representative of young coaches in European football, was also talking and laughing with several young coaches. Ancelotti had a very indecent nickname at this time, that is, "the second millennium".

However, Carlo Ancelotti is one of the most famous young coaches in European football at the moment, and there is no doubt about it.

In the 95-96 season, Ancelotti led Reggina to Serie A and began to make a name for himself. After leading Parma to a runner-up finish in Serie A in the 96-97 season, Carlo Ancelotti officially became a famous manager. In the 98-99 season, Carlo Ancelotti joined Juventus and began his coaching career at a giant club, leading Juventus to a runner-up finish in Serie A last season.

At the age of forty, he can coach a top club like Juventus. Carlo Ancelotti's fame is still quite loud in European football.

As for George, although he won the UEFA Cup last season and just won the UEFA Super Cup against Real Madrid, he is still a newcomer in European football. Although it wasn't too late, few coaches knew George.

George didn't care, though.

George is not the type of place that likes to be particularly lively. So stood aside with Williams.

"George, why don't you say hello when you're here."

Ferguson, who had just been talking and laughing with other coaches, spotted George, so he came to George's side with a smile.

"No one I knew. It's good to be alone. ”

"You, you!" Ferguson pointed at George, then shook his head. "Let's go, George. How many people do you get to know? ”

George shook his head.

"Nope. There will be a chance to meet in the future. ”

George was reluctant to get to know the biggest names in European football. And there is no interest in getting to know them. In the future, as long as their grades are good, they don't need George to get to know them. They all wanted to come and get to know themselves.

Ferguson was used to George's surname, so he didn't blame him. He just came over to say hello to George.

It's clear that Arsene Wenger is also not a big fan of this kind of hilarity. He almost pinched the point to the scene of the draw. However, it seems that Wenger's popularity is not bad, and when Wenger comes in, there are coaches who greet Wenger from time to time.

Arsene Wenger's European record is a hard hit. However, Arsene Wenger's unique style of play in European football still makes Wenger very famous in European football.

Wenger smiled and nodded to them, but didn't stop to say something.

It wasn't until he was next to George that Arsene Wenger stopped. It was a pleasure to chat with George, and as for Ferguson, who was not far away, Wenger naturally ignored it. Of course, Ferguson, who was not far away, also spotted Wenger. But Ferguson, too, ignored Arsene Wenger.

These two are two famous masters in English football, and they are also the two most powerful and influential club managers in English football. It's normal for them to spit on each other. Even in private, the two of them don't meet and talk much.

The contradiction between the two English football bigwigs is as ...... as rumors. Anyway, the relationship is definitely not good.

Arsene Wenger just pinched the dot and came in. So Arsene Wenger and George didn't talk a few words, and the draw was up. Led by UEFA staff, all the managers present followed into the draw hall.

When everyone was already seated, many of the media who followed also entered the lottery hall.

The draw for the Champions League group stage was broadcast live. There were also an unknown number of fans, waiting in front of the TV for the results of the draw. After all, no fan wants their team to face a strong opponent in the group stage. Wouldn't it be better to be able to break through easily?

Therefore, all the fans are paying attention to which group the team they support will be drawn.

George sat down at the bottom, also a little nervous. After all, this is George's first time playing in the Champions League, and George is definitely not a maniac.

Many people say that the heroes of history are sympathetic to each other. Willing to have a great opponent to compete with. In George's mind, that's a fart. If George fights the world, then he wants his opponents to be all stupid. George is now a coach and George really wants all the team managers to be fools.

Being able to win the race with ease, George didn't want to make waves.

Maybe George will never be able to be a hero in people's hearts, and he will never be able to understand the inner world of heroes. Therefore, George will never be a so-called hero.

George is just praying now. Be sure to put Blackburn in one of the easiest groups. George didn't want to run into the so-called group of death and end up in the group stage. And then run to play the League Cup, then it will be a shame and a big loss.

The draw process for the Champions Cup group stage is also very simple. There is no superfluous project, which is to introduce the 32 participating teams that need to be drawn, and then directly enter the most important part, the draw.

All the managers were keeping their eyes on the draw at this time.

When the draw is over, some people will be happy and some people will be frustrated. George hopes that the happy one is himself, and the one who is depressed is someone else.
