298 Second round group stage
After thinking about it for a while, George put the Carabao Cup thing aside.
Although the Carabao Cup is Blackburn's first, it can only be played on the basis of not hindering George Premier League and Champions League matches. As soon as it gets in the way of the Premier League and the Champions League, George will immediately abandon the Carabao Cup.
"Miranda, what have you been up to lately. Why can't I see you all the time. ”
George put down the newspaper in his hand and asked Miranda, who was cooking dinner next to him.
After graduating, Miranda had already entered a law firm. This is a very well-known law firm in England. George never interfered with Miranda's work, because Miranda was a young genius from a young age.
Either way, he is an absolute genius in his studies. Even George, a time-traveling person, can't compare with Miranda in his studies at all.
But anyway, I just graduated and haven't been a few years old. How could it be so busy.
"Recently, I was in charge of acquisitions. Your Premier League club shareholding change case. Miranda said to George as she cooked.
"Premier League clubs? Acquisition? Which club? ”
George in his previous life was just a fan. I just like to watch football.
George is more focused on the players. As for the club owners, not many of them know. Apart from the rather famous club presidents, the other Georges didn't pay attention either.
On the Premier League, George knows that Jack. Walker. Because Jack. Walker was the first title in English football to pile up money. I know Newcastle's chairman Hall because George has read the football novel "Football Reborn 1994".
Of course, Abu can't help but say it. There were also the Glazers of Manchester United and the Emirati billionaires of Manchester City.
These are all because they are so famous, so George knows.
But it's only 2000, and George really doesn't know which club in the Premier League will change at this time. Could it be that the butterfly effect, his own accession, made Abu come early. George is most familiar with the change of the club's president than the Russian billionaire Abramovich.
'Isn't it Chelsea? Where do the rich come from? ”
Miranda smiled and shook her head when she saw George asking.
'It's not Chelsea. But which club, I can't tell you. It's a trade secret. ”
Miranda said the trade secret, so George could only nod. In my heart, I was thinking about which club was going to change the owner. As long as it's not a madman like Abu, even a change of owner won't have any other impact on the Premier League landscape.
But once it is a rich man like Abu, it will be fun.
"Miranda, if it's a Premier League club buyout, then it's a lot of money. You're going to be able to participate in this kind of acquisition so quickly. It's not easy. ”
"Of course, don't look at who I am!" Miranda was overjoyed to hear George's praise. "But the acquirer this time has something to do with you. That's all I can say, though. Further down there are trade secrets. ”
George didn't ask any further. It's just that I filtered it in my heart, and the people I knew. It seems that among the people I know, there is no such rich person.
Running a Premier League club is a completely different story than it was a decade ago. Now if you want to run a Premier League club, you can't do it without a net worth of hundreds of millions of pounds. Among the people George knew, there were not no billionaires worth hundreds of millions of pounds.
But their hundreds of millions of assets are not cash that can be taken out.
No one should have the quality to win a Premier League club. But since Miranda said that she had something to do with her, it was by no means false. But if you can't think of it, you don't want to.
"Miranda, it looks like I'm going to marry a rich woman soon."
Miranda: They do this kind of acquisition, and the income is based on the size of the funds involved. The more money involved, the more they will earn.
"Well, you won't have to work in the future. I'll feed you. ”
Look at Miranda's lips curled and triumphant. George stepped forward and scratched Miranda's nose. "Then I won't be a little white face who eats soft rice. Hehe! ”
………… George didn't know which rich man had his eye on the Premier League and wanted to join the Premier League club. But this matter has nothing to do with me, so I don't care.
George doesn't have much time to think about this kind of thing now.
Blackburn Rovers are about to have a lot of racing on the horizon.
On 18 November, Blackburn Rovers hosted Aston Villa.
This is the fourteenth round of the Premier League. George didn't give Aston Villa the slightest chance at all, and he beat Aston Villa hard at home. Played four goals at home to Aston Villa.
Klose, who is in excellent form, scored three goals in this game. He scored his second hat-trick of his career. With this goal, Klose has scored 12 goals in the Premier League.
Combined with the Champions League and UEFA Super Cup games, Klose has scored a total of 16 goals so far.
Halfway through the season, Klose has already scored a staggering sixteen. Klose is indeed the best form striker in the Premier League right now. Even the "King of Highbury" Thierry Henry now has only eight goals in the Premier League. There are only 13 goals in all competitions.
Apart from Klose and Thierry Henry, the best form striker in the Premier League at the moment is Chelsea's Jussel Hasselbaink.
Isselbaink, who has just arrived at Chelsea this season, has scored 10 goals in the Premier League so far. It was only two goals less than Klose, who scored a hat-trick in this round.
The Premier League's top scorer in the 97-98 and 98-99 seasons, the wind chaser Michael . Owen has only scored nine goals in the Premier League so far. However, Owen is not a prolific goalscorer in the league.
Even in the two years he was the Premier League's top scorer, he scored just 18 goals.
Now Klose can be said to have become the best striker in the Premier League.
After the win over Aston Villa, George couldn't rest. Non-stop to participate in the draw for the second round of the group stage of the Champions League.
All three teams in the Premier League have performed very well. Manchester United, Arsenal and Blackburn Rovers all came out as group winners. In Arsenal's group of death, Juventus, who are in a mess, are at the bottom of the table, accumulating only four points. It was worse than the recognized fish belly Panathinaikos, and in the end it was eliminated.
This is the second year in a row that Juventus have failed to perform in European competition. Last season, Juventus lost 0:4 away to Celta de Vigo in the UEFA Cup and were eliminated. And this season is even more funny, it turned out to be at the bottom of the rankings.
Ancelotti, the second millennium, is about to be clicked by Juventus. Of course, Carlo Ancelotti took charge of Milan and produced the best result of his coaching career. But now Ancelotti is very disappointed.
Arsenal's group was the emergence of Arsenal and Deportivo La Coruna.
AC Milan and Hamburg were the other group of death, while La Liga giants Barcelona were eliminated in the group stage. That's the cruelty of the Death Set. No matter how glorious the history of Juventus and Barcelona is, and how strong the strength is, you can only go to the League Cup to eat.
Maybe the good luck in the Champions League ran out.
When the draw for the second round of the group stage came out, George sighed. Although it is not a group of death, it is the most difficult group to beat among the four groups.
Blackburn Rovers were drawn to Group C, and the strongest in Group C is Green Hollywood Bayern Munich. Of course, the name "Green Hollywood" is not good, which is ironic that Bayern always has scandals. But no one can deny Bayern's strength.
How strong are Bayern?
Just look at Bayern's achievements in these two seasons. After Heathfeld took charge, Bayern won the Bundesliga title in the 98-99 season. In that year's Champions League final, Bayern was only three minutes away from winning the Champions League. While people marvel at Manchester United's miraculous comeback, no one can deny Bayern's formidable prowess.
And last season, Bayern Munich was the Bundesliga champion and the German Cup champion.
Historically, this season's Champions League winner has been Bayern Munich. When encountering such a powerful opponent, George could only sigh to himself that he was unlucky.
In addition to Bayern, there is another team that is Blackburn's nemesis. It was Galatasaray, whom Blackburn had beaten in the UEFA Cup final last season. Galatasaray were lucky enough to be eliminated in the first group stage of the Champions League last season and went to the UEFA Cup. This season, I didn't expect to break through to the first round of the group stage and enter the second round of the group stage.
Although the League Cup final won against Galatasaray. But the strength of Galatasaray, George will not doubt.
Last season, George used a lot of tricks to disrupt the opponent's preparation to beat Galatasaray in the final. This encounter, the enemy was very red when he saw each other.
The other team is Spartak Moscow from Russia.
George also has an impression of this team. It's also a rival team. On their way to winning the League Cup last season, Blackburn met Spartak Moscow. Judging by the strength of that time, the strength of the Moscow Spartak was limited. I don't know how I got to the group stage of the second round of the Champions League.
But even so, plus Blackburn. The strength of this group is also very strong.
Bayern are the undisputed hegemon, and everyone believes that it can emerge. And who can appear between Blackburn and Galatasaray will depend on their respective performances.
However, Blackburn's draw is not the worst, Manchester United is the best. Manchester United are on the same side as Hamburg, Valencia and Graz.
The worst luck was Arsenal, who had just broken out of the group of death and were once again placed in the group of death. Arsenal turned out to be separated from Real Madrid, Lazio and Anderlecht. George saw Arsene Wenger's face at the scene.
Arsene Wenger has every reason to be angry. In the first round of the group stage, it was already divided with Juventus and Deportivo La Coruna. I didn't expect to be in a group with Real Madrid and Lazio in the second round of the group stage. Back to the argument, who can compare to Arsenal.
George could only be psychologically comforting Arsene Wenger.
Of course, there is still a trace of schadenfreude in my heart. If such a group wants to break through, it is conceivable that every game is a decisive battle. If you're not careful, you'll be knocked out. Arsene Wenger's attention in the league will definitely be distracted.
Hee-hee, hee hee is too evil.
