With a 3-0 home win over Valencia, George also avenged his elimination that year. Valencia have just one point from three rounds, with Roma three and Ajax four. With the exception of Blackburn, who is on nine, none of them have that high points.

Blackburn, on the other hand, secured the top spot in the group with the victory in this game.

Many European media outlets were amazed at Blackburn's outstanding performance in the group of death. Although the current strength of the other three teams cannot be regarded as the best in Europe. But it's also quite strong.

Valencia were last season's La Liga champions, Ajax's young talent has made all European football clubs crazy, and Roma were last season's Serie A champions. All three teams are clearly European powerhouses, but against defending champions Blackburn, there is absolutely no resistance.

This has made many European media outlets change their tunes.

At the beginning of the season, not only the English football media, but even the rest of the European team media thought that Blackburn's sale of Deco and Makelele was a big mistake. Deco and Makelele don't look as dazzling as Miku, Pire, or Klose, but they certainly don't work as well as them.

Of course, Deco's attention is much higher than that of Makelele.

After all, Deco is the midfield commander responsible for Blackburn's offensive and defensive transitions. A lot of people think that Deco's departure from Blackburn Rovers will definitely throw Blackburn's offense into disarray. At the start of the season, as they said, Blackburn did have a lot of problems.

But now all the voices of doubt are gone.

Because Blackburn used their best performance to tell them that although Blackburn has lost some strength, it is still a strong team in European football. Still Champions League winners.

In a group like the current one, don't say Blackburn. Even Real Madrid and Milan dare not say that they can break through from the group stage so easily. Unexpectedly, Blackburn Rovers so easily occupied the first place in the group stage.

After playing Valencia, Blackburn was away to Chelsea.

Chelsea have also been doing well in recent seasons.

Claudio Ranieri is definitely one of the best coaches in European football. Of course that's what George thinks.

Although George despises Ranieri in his heart for a coach who has no championship, Ranieri's ability George still agrees. Especially his ability to integrate the team. Integrating the team Carlo Ancelotti and Jose Mourinho, both of them were excellent managers later.

But Ranieri also has his own way.

Whether at Valencia or after Chelsea. There are as many ingredients as there are to cook what kind of dishes. In this regard, George has to bow down.

By the time Ranieri took over Chelsea, Chelsea had fallen apart. Especially the veteran players, in the locker room, are domineering, not at all disobedient to the manager. It was at this time that Ranieri took charge of Chelsea.

But in a short period of time, Ranieri has fully integrated Chelsea.

Chelsea are not weak at the moment. It's been in the top four.

If the Premier League in recent years is divided into a grade, then Manchester United, Blackburn Rover, and Arsenal are the top three in the Premier League. These three teams are not only consistent in Europe, but also in the Premier League. It has always been a team in the first group of the Premier League.

In addition to these top three, Chelsea, Liverpool and Newcastle are all in contention for fourth place. Especially in the Champions League reform, after the Premier League has four places, the competition for the fourth place is becoming more and more fierce. Now the fourth place is up for grabs from these three teams.

That's the current Premier League landscape.

To be able to bring Chelsea, who are on the verge of falling apart, to this point shows Ranieri's ability. It's a pity that Ranieri has these skills, and he always misses the championship.

Away, George doesn't care about other people's eyes.

Alonso rests. George used Hargreaves and Essien in a two-man midfield formation, and then used a combination of Kaka, Duff and Miku up front. Up front is Defoe, a young youngster. Played a clear defensive counterattack.

Ranieri certainly knows Blackburn very well.

So let Petit follow Kaka closely. That's right, it's Petit. The midfielder, who shined in Wenger's hands, made Barcelona grit his teeth after arriving at Barcelona. Because Pettit's transfer fee is very expensive, but after arriving at Barcelona, his performance cannot be compared with Arsenal at all.

So Barcelona threw Petit to Chelsea.

Although Petit has dropped a lot in strength, he is experienced. Although it was not possible to defend Kaka completely, the interference with Kaka was still very successful. But Blake wasn't just about Kaka.

Petit as a defensive midfielder, just staring at Kaka, then the others are not easy to defend.

Duff, who is active on both flanks, is not such a good defender. In the face of Melchiott and Le Zox, Duff is completely in a no-man's land. On either side of Chelsea, there was absolutely no one to defend Duff.

Claudio Ranieri put most of his defense on Kaka.

This leads to the activity of other people. Miku provided two assists in midfield, both for Duff on the wing. Duff rode solo and burst into the box from the flank to score two goals. And Defoe, who was very fast, also counterattacked and scored a goal.

Although Chelsea also scored a goal, it was only a face-saving goal for Hasselbaink.

The 3-1 away drive got George excited.

The Flying Bootgate incident had an absolute impact on Manchester United. If anyone says that the conflict between Alex Ferguson and David Beckham has no effect on Manchester United, it is definitely a joke. And this time the "Flying Bootgate" incident made such a big fuss that Beckham and Ferguson almost completely turned their faces.

Historically, Beckham has had a little chance to play, but now he has no chance at all.

The impact appeared. In this round, Manchester United faced Bolton Wanderers away and was forced to draw 1-1 by the weak Bolton. The gap to Blackburn Rovers has become six points. After the game, Ferguson was furious and even scolded reporters at the post-match press conference.

The game was drawn, and Ferguson, who was already annoyed and angry, was asked by reporters about Beckham, how could he tolerate it.

Ferguson is definitely not a good-natured coach. So at the press conference, he scolded the reporters severely. Ferguson was angry, but he had everything to say. All kinds of swearing, just come casually.

Seeing this, George showed his little white teeth and persuaded very kindly: "Coach Ferguson, it's time to change your temper." When you're old, if you always lose your temper like this, it's not good for your health. Don't be angry for your body's sake. ”

"Look at the Liverpool manager, Mr Houllier. I don't want Coach Alex Ferguson to go to the hospital for the same reason. ”

George is afraid that the world will not be chaotic. George's down-and-out and cynical appearance made the Manchester media furious. But there is no way, George is not alone in the cynicism now. It's just that George is the most famous, and he is on the front line.

Even after George jumped out, even Wenger came out. Ferguson's old rival, Arsene Wenger, was also very kind to persuade Ferguson. Tell him to be angry and hurt.

George looked at Wenger's smiling face and shook his head. Arsene Wenger's ability to make a name for himself in world football is not so simple.

Later, not only George and Arsene Wenger, but also many clubs came to persuade Ferguson in a false way. This furious Ferguson, who hit back at them in an interview with the media: "I've been a manager for more than 20 years and I know how to manage the dressing room. I'm in good health and I've been coaching for 20 years without any problems. ”

………… Ferguson is now full of sarcastic voices. The break with Beckham has already given Ferguson a headache. For this group of people who fell into the ground, Ferguson hated it so much.

However, after George lit the fire, he immediately pulled away.

George didn't have time to spend all his time on Manchester United. Because Blackburn Rovers are about to host Ajax, opponents in the fourth game of the Champions League group stage.

Blackburn Rovers are in a good position right now, winning their first three games in a row and accumulating nine points. George didn't want any accidents in such a good situation.

Against teams like Ajax, George likes it the most.

Although there are also many people who believe that Blackburn is also one of the representatives of artistic football. But George never considered himself an idealist. It's impossible for George to maintain a legacy of style of play like Barcelona. Nor will he be a truly idealistic manager like Arsene Wenger.

George has no particular penchant for the style of play. As long as you can win, nothing matters.

Again, George likes teams like Ajax, not because of how beautiful they play. It's because of playing these teams, George has a lot of experience. Teams like Arsenal, Barcelona and Ajax are most powerful in their genius attacks. The same fear is the rough foul.

George didn't care if his boorish foul would have cast a shadow on these young talents. In this game, Blackburn's side moved more roughly. This time it's not just Van der Vaart who doesn't fit in, it's the entire Ajax genius who doesn't fit.

The game was played dullly.

Everywhere there are cases of people turning on their backs. But Blackburn completely disrupted Ajax's attack. When Ajax's attack went wrong, things were easy. Klose latched on to Kaka's cross and headed in the only goal of the game.

In the other game, Valencia won 1-0 away at Roma.

This gives Blackburn 12 points, Valencia and Ajax 4 and Roma 3. Blackburn have already finished top of the group ahead of schedule, while the remaining three teams are all in the picture.

George was very proud after the game.

Facing those reporters, he said arrogantly: "Champions League knockout round? The Champions League knockout rounds are my back garden, and I can go there whenever I want. Unless I'm tired of it, it's okay to visit my back garden all the time. No big deal. ”

George's arrogant appearance was photographed by reporters. Then it became the front page of the next day in major media newspapers.
