413 Hold the initiative

No matter how unconvinced Manchester United are, the referee's decision is irreversible.

Manchester United fans across Old Trafford booed Drogba. They shouted "Liars! Swindler! They were quite unhappy with the penalty. They all thought that the ball just now was clearly Drogba's fake fall, and the referee even gave Woodgate a red card.

This has left Manchester United fans very unhappy.

Therefore, as long as Drogba gets the ball, the boos in the stadium are suffocating. But Drogba didn't care about the boos at all, because he remembered George's words. The boos of the opposing fans are the biggest reward for yourself.

If he could, Drogba wanted all the fans around the world except Blackburn Rovers and Ivory Coast to come and boo themselves.

George shook his head from the sidelines.

Hmph, Manchester United are the most well taken care of in the Premier League. Of all the strong teams, Manchester United is the one who is most cared for by the referees.

This is normal, not that Manchester United bought the referee. Who makes Manchester United the Premier League hegemon, and Manchester United is the club that contributes the most to the England national team. Coupled with Ferguson's connections, it's normal to take care of it. But it also makes Manchester United fans too proud.

They can't tolerate a penalty from the referee against them.

Speaking of sadness, which club among the Premier League's strong teams can compare with Arsenal. Don't look at Arsenal, who are currently the first Premier League giants to create their own dynasty. But now in the Premier League, Arsenal is still more discriminated against.

Of course, this discrimination is not to say that English football looks down on Arsenal. But in English football, Arsenal is very different. Arsene Wenger is French and at odds with English football tradition. Arsene Wenger is simply reluctant to fit into the traditions of English football, which in Wenger's view is backward and ignorant.

In addition, there are many French players in the Arsenal team. Even if they are not French players, there are many players who come out of the French league. On the contrary, there are very few local players.

Arsenal are a complete outlier in English football anyway. Although Blackburn also has a lot of foreign players, especially French players. But Blackburn Rover's George is the best coach of England's new generation.

Perhaps because of this, Arsenal's alternative is rejected by the traditional forces of English football. Even those referees looked at Arsenal with tinted glasses.

With Arsenal's style of play, there should be a lot of penalties in a season. It should even be said that in the Premier League, penalties are the most. But in reality?

Arsenal have not awarded a handful of penalties in a season.

It can even be said that Arsenal are content to get half of the penalties they should have received in a season.

That's the difference between Manchester United and Arsenal.

Manchester United fans, what are you unhappy about?

Cut!

With one man missing, and two goals behind, Manchester United completely lost their original morale.

Yes, without morale, is that still Manchester United? Blackburn scored Campbell's third goal of the game with a free-kick just before the end of the game.

Blackburn Rovers won 3-0 away at Manchester United.

"Three to zero, the game is over. At the end of 20 rounds, Blackburn have a five-point lead over Manchester United. This was simply unthinkable at the start of the season. It is estimated that George himself did not even imagine it. Look at the madness of George and Blackburn players. ”

Indeed, as Mortenson said. The Blackburn players were excited.

Of course, George was also very excited.

Five points ahead of Manchester United, George really didn't expect it. Five points, although the score gap is not very large, George seems to see the Premier League champion beckoning.

At the end of the game, many reporters asked George about the penalty.

"Coach Levy, what do you think of Drogba's fake fall?"

Journalists in Manchester were dissatisfied. So the problem is also very rushing.

"Mr. Journalist, I want to correct your words. The referee made it clear that it was a penalty, and if you think it wasn't accurate, you can interview the referee. ”

George replied with a smile.

"Does Coach Levy think that Drogba's fall is normal? Isn't he what you call diving? I think Drogba can also go to the Olympic diving event. ”

The reporter was unrelenting and continued to ask questions. Give back the words George gave to Aymar back then.

George was in a good mood, though. Plus I won the victory, so I didn't care. So he still asked with a smile: "Have you ever been a player?" ”

The reporter shook his head blankly. I don't know why George suddenly changed the subject.

"You've never been a player, so how do you understand that a little bit of strength in a high-speed run can make a player fall. Players who run at high speeds are very susceptible to external forces. Of course you haven't been a player, so it's normal not to know. However, if you don't understand something, you should learn with an open mind, rather than making an arbitrary evaluation. It's going to make people laugh at you. ”

George is like a knowledgeable professor teaching his students.

"Young people, humility makes people progress. In the future, you should learn humbly that you don't understand things. No one is a generalist, and it is impossible to know everything. Therefore, keep learning, and you will be able to truly succeed. ”

Hearing that George was old-fashioned there, all the reporters present were stunned.

Humility makes people progress, wow. Whoever says this sentence is no problem, isn't it a joke of the century that you George said this sentence? When have you George been humble.

George saw that all the reporters were stunned, and he was very satisfied with the effect. So he took two steps, but paused again, and looked back with a smile: "But you are too incompetent as a reporter." You haven't been a player, but you're a football journalist. Some common sense should still be known. ”

After saying that, George shook his head and left.

This made all the reporters present cry and laugh.

………… After the 20th round of the Premier League, Blackburn Rovers are followed by two home games.

On the 28th, the home game played West Ham United. Hit Middlesbrough on the first day of the new year.

Neither of these teams is a strong team. Needless to say, West Ham United, despite their talents, has been a season of failures. They are now the second-to-last team in the Premier League. Middlesbrough is also not a strong team, that is, a team that can barely survive relegation.

For both of them, George is a must-win.

If you can't beat such an opponent, it would be too bad.

These games are very intensive, almost every two or three days. But George's substitutions were still adequate. On the 28th, Blackburn Rovers defeated West Ham United 1-0 at home with Klose's goal.

It's been a tough game.

Alonso, Miku and Duff were all put on the bench by George. Alonso has played too many games this season and George can't continue to use him. After all, Alonso is only twenty years old now, and if George uses him to death, he is afraid that he will be injured.

So Parker, Kaka, they played. Of course, George still has one man left in the front court, and that is Pire.

Because Kaka's assault ability is very strong, but he is still inferior to players like Miku and Pire in terms of organizing attacks and passing. So although Pire played Manchester United last time out and played the whole game. But George kept Pire on the pitch.

Sure enough, when West Ham strengthened their defense, Kaka played very awkwardly. Although he spent a lot of time last season, he was far less dangerous than Miku when he was in front of him. Thankfully, there was Pire.

It was a pass from Pire, who allowed Klose to score the only goal in an offside position.

On January 1, 2003, Blackburn Rovers played Middlesbrough. It was an easy one, with Blackburn Rovers winning 2-1 at home to Middlesbrough.

Don't look at the score is 2-1, in fact, the process is very easy.

Middlesbrough were the first to score a goal. But within ten minutes, Blackburn had equalised. Hargreaves, who came in from behind, scored a long-range shot past Middlesbrough. Blackburn had countless opportunities after that.

The Middlesbrough defence was almost empty. Blackburn Rovers practiced shooting in the Middlesbrough penalty area almost as they pleased. Just after the start of the second half, Pire scored the winning goal.

Winning this game, Blackburn Rovers has completed a 10-game winning streak in all competitions. As a result, the points are also rising rapidly.

Arsenal, who have been in average form recently, continues to be in the doldrums. First they were held to a 1-1 draw by Liverpool, and then they were held to a 2-1 draw by Chelsea. Since then, the gap between Arsenal and Blackburn has widened rapidly.

By now, Arsenal are six points behind Blackburn.

Manchester United have not been in great form since the defeat to Blackburn. At home, it was a 2-0 draw by Sunderland, but fortunately they won 2-0 against Birmingham City in the next game.

As a result, United are also seven points behind Blackburn.

No one thought that it was just a few games. Blackburn's position at the top of the table is becoming more and more secure. Manchester United and Arsenal, on the other hand, are in an extremely sluggish state during the Christmas schedule. That is, the four games before and after Christmas, allowing Manchester United and Arsenal to lose all their previous advantages.

Looking at the standings, George laughed unconsciously.

Despite the poor start of the season, Blackburn Rovers are already at the top of the table thanks to a few games at Christmas.

Blackburn Rovers are completely in the driver's seat at the moment.

The temptation of the Premier League title for George is very great. It wasn't because he had already won two Premier League titles that George's interest in the Premier League title had dropped.

Because it's the same in any league. Winning a league title only shows that you were good that year. If you win the league for the next consecutive year, it shows that your team is strong and has a certain dominance in the league.

But to be recognized, and to create a dynasty.

Then three consecutive championships, three consecutive league titles, can fully show your dominance in this league. When Chapman created his first dynasty at Arsenal, he told the entire English football world with a three-in-a-row league title.

Even Alex Ferguson has not won three consecutive Premier League titles at Manchester United. Arsene Wenger didn't.

If George can complete the league three in a row, then George will officially leave his mark in the Premier League.

Such a temptation made George also excited.
