After 32 rounds of the Premier League, Blackburn are already five points behind Manchester United.

The five-point gap made George shake his head. Manchester United are also too strong, with seven wins and three draws in their last ten league games. Blackburn's results are not bad, with six wins, two draws and two defeats in ten games.

But it was the gap between these 10 games that has now become a score gap between the two teams.

Bastard, now that there are six games left, can you still win six in a row at Manchester United? George wasn't sure, after all, United had won five in a row. Of the remaining opponents, only Liverpool have a slight level of quality, and the rest of the teams pose no threat to Manchester United.

The Premier League was lost, and now George is thinking about the UEFA Cup semi-finals the most.

In the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup, Blackburn will face Arsenal, who are also in the Premier League. Arsenal's performance in Europe is actually not very good, or there is no Champions League gene. This season, he also participated in the Champions League, but he was eliminated in the first group stage, so he had to come over to mix in the League Cup.

The English team has won the Champions League a total of nine times. Among them, Liverpool four times, Manchester United twice, Nottingham Forest twice, Villa once. But in London, where there are so many clubs, no club has ever won the Champions League.

There are many teams in London, and there are also many well-known teams in English football. Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United have not touched the Champions League trophy. Needless to say, those little clubs.

In the next decade, Arsenal and Chelsea both reached the Champions League final, but unfortunately they were runners-up and failed to win a Champions League title for London.

It also became a joke.

London, with so many football clubs, has not had a Champions League trophy until now.

This season, Arsenal was not only eliminated from the Champions League group stage, but also performed much worse in the league. They are currently third in the Premier League, but Leeds United, who are fourth in the Premier League, are eyeing Arsenal's position.

The third-place position is an important position in whether or not you can participate in the Champions League.

The gap between the two teams is just two points, and the slightest mistake could cost Arsenal a Champions League spot.

Now Blackburn Rovers and Arsenal, the game is very concentrated.

Blackburn Rovers are scheduled to play the first game of the UEFA Cup semi-final away on 8 April, then away to the 33rd round of the Premier League on 11 April against Bradford, at home to Watford on 16 April and then back to home for the second game of the UEFA Cup semi-final on 20 April.

Arsenal's fixtures are not much better than Blackburn's.

Arsenal host Blackburn Rovers on 8 April, then Sheffield Wednesday on 11 April, Leeds United on 16 April and 20 April.

Arsenal have a tougher schedule than Blackburn.

Blackburn already have a double-digit advantage over third-placed Arsenal, and while the Premier League title is already very difficult, it is more than enough to hold on to second place. But Arsenal is different, once Arsenal miss a little in the league, then next year's Champions League place will be completely lost.

Especially the match between Arsenal and Leeds United is a top priority for Arsenal.

George looked at the schedule and was very happy. Arsenal, Arsenal, even if I am not as strong as you, I can exhaust you. However, the current Blackburn Rovers are no less than Arsenal even if they are strong, and I am determined to enter the League Cup final.

Before the game, George gave an interview to the media.

A reporter first asked a question about the Premier League title. George didn't answer positively, but said something else.

"This season is the first time I've played in Europe. Fighting on two fronts is easier said than done. I've learned a lot through this season, especially how to rotate the squad properly. ”

When the reporter saw such a modest George, he complained about George in his heart. Now that the Premier League has no hope, he says he has learned.

Then reporters started asking George questions about the League Cup semi-finals. When it comes to the game against Arsenal, George is in high spirits.

'Arsenal, I've found Arsenal's weaknesses. I believe I've got my hands on Arsenal. We're going to beat Arsenal and I'm 100 per cent confident. ”

Hearing George's bold words, a smile began to appear on the reporter's face. That's George, and today's interview is worth it.

"Coach Levy, what are you talking about Arsenal's weakness is ......"

George smiled slightly.

"If I tell you that if you get in the papers, don't you tell Arsenal what their weaknesses are?" George paused. Smiled again. "Actually, Arsenal is a weakness that they can't fix even if I tell them. Because it's a weakness that simply can't be corrected. ”

"Can you reveal that?"

George was heard saying that Arsenal's weaknesses could not be corrected. That said, it doesn't matter if you say it. So the reporter hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

George shook his head, though. "Thou shalt not speak, thou shalt not speak."

The reporter was stunned by George's pretending to be a ghost. But even if George didn't say anything, the reporter had already got enough news material.

However, Wenger only responded to George's statement simply. "No team in the world is perfect. There is no such thing as a team without flaws. And the purpose of our coaching is to promote the strengths of the team and try to cover up the shortcomings of the team as much as possible. ”

In fact, George definitely didn't have no purpose. George really saw Arsenal's weakest link. And George believes Arsene Wenger himself knows his shortcomings, but they are a weakness that cannot be remedied.

It was fast forward to April 8th.

George arrived in London with complete confidence. I don't know how many times London will come in a season.

Highbury Stadium is not much better than Ewood Park. And Highbury Stadium is a little smaller than the average pitch, which is perfect for Arsenal's kind of team with short passes.

Highbury Field was packed today. As the Premier League champions of the previous two seasons, Arsenal withdrew from the Premier League title race early this season. As a result, Arsenal fans are pinning their hopes on the UEFA Cup.

And more importantly, George said before the game that he already had a way to deal with Arsenal. Arsenal's weaknesses have been grasped.

Therefore, many Arsenal fans are very dissatisfied with George. When George was seen coming out, the whole Highbury was full of boos. It is estimated that as a head coach, George has received the most boos on the away team's stadium.

It was Ferguson and Wenger who won the Premier League title and offended many Premier League teams. But when it comes to the away game, there are not as many boos that George has received in recent years.

"Hello Arsene Wenger."

George smiled and shook Wenger's hand. As if the pre-match war of words was not provoked by George at all.

"Hello George." Wenger could only shake his head when he saw George like this. If you talk about thick-skinnedness, George is definitely the best among the Premier League managers.

"I'm absolutely not lying about it. Coach Arsene Wenger, Arsenal have a huge weakness. Of course it's not your responsibility, but it's enough to kill Arsenal. George and Arsene Wenger were on good terms and said it as they shook hands.

Wenger glanced at George and smiled.

"George, the game doesn't say it. It should also depend on the results. In fact, Wenger had already roughly guessed what George meant. But that's not something Wenger can change. Arsene Wenger could only sigh in his heart.

"Haha, guess what George would say to Arsene Wenger?"

Mortenson asked Alain next to him with a smile. Hansen.

George should have said that. Coach Arsene Wenger, let's work hard in the league and don't be overtaken by Leeds United. The League Cup is in my bag. "Alain. Hansen mimicked George's tone and spoke.

"Hahaha......" Mortenson heard Alain. Hansen's words, ha.

George kept saying before the game that he had found Arsenal's goal. Is it George bluffing, or has George really found Arsenal's weakness. We'll see. ”

"Blackburn's starting line-up was a bit interesting though. Arsenal's side is in the middle of the pack, and all the players who can play are on the pitch. But Blackburn, for their part, is not the regular workhorse of the past. Romedahl came on in place of Pire, Hargreaves came in place of Miku, and it was not known what trick George was playing. ”

Mortensen was a little puzzled by George's starting lineup.

"yes, I also feel like there's something wrong with George's starting lineup. Andreas Pire and Miku have been the absolute mainstays of Blackburn's midfield this season, with both now nearing double figures in goals and assists. By the end of the season, both men may have a double-double of goals and assists. ”

"I don't know, what does George want to do when he replaces these two offensive cores?" Alan. Hansen was also surprised by the starting line-up.

"George should have his own ideas."

George certainly doesn't start casually. George has something deep. George has a comprehensive plan for Arsenal, even if Wenger is a world-famous coach with three heads and six arms, Arsenal can't turn it into the palm of my hand.

George was confident.

George felt very lucky to sign for Arsenal in the semi-finals.

Leeds United are all youngsters and there are no problems in the league. It is taboo to play with such a team in a cup game, because the cup game is a knockout match. With a team like Leeds United, it's easy for something unexpected to happen. George was reluctant to play against such an unpredictable opponent.

As for Galatasaray, although the strength is not as good as Arsenal. But they have a nasty home turf, especially Istanbul, which is known as the devil's home of Europe. George was reluctant to go on an expedition to Turkey to play the Devil's home turf. And the football hooligans on the Turkish side are as good as England's.

Therefore, when it came to Arsenal, George still felt good.

"Toot-"

With the referee's whistle, the first game of the League Cup semi-finals kicked off at Highbury Stadium.
