George, who was in a good mood, arrived at the press conference and answered all questions from reporters.

"Coach Levy, you told the media before the season that your goal in the League Cup is to win the championship? Is it true? Towards the end of the press conference, the reporter in front of him stood up and asked George.

George looked at this reporter with a smile, although the meaning was similar, but it was no longer what George originally meant.

George really didn't want to give up the League Cup, but he always tactfully stated that his goal was to win the League Cup. He never directly said that his goal was to win the League Cup. This reporter deliberately asked this question, of course, in the hope of getting a good news material.

George understood the reporter's intentions, but he was in a good mood today. So I didn't hide it, and I answered very cheerfully.

"Yes, my goal this season is to win the UEFA Cup. Participating in the Cup, except for the championship, is a failure. Now that we're in the League Cup, I'm going to take away a title. ”

George's words completely calmed these reporters.

George is really George, although the gold content of the League Cup has declined, there are still many strong teams participating. Including teams such as Ajax, Parma, Deportivo La Coruna, Kaiserslautern. Even Serie A giants Juventus will play in the UEFA Cup this season.

If you add those who were eliminated from the Champions Cup, the teams that entered the League Cup will move up the ladder. When the time comes, countless strong teams will pour into the League Cup.

Even Juventus did not dare to shout that the UEFA Cup was their own. George dared to shout?

They know George's big mouth very well. He has done so many times in England. I didn't expect George's big mouth to go to Europe soon.

Even the "Every Telegraph", which usually has no holidays with George, can't watch it. Criticized George in the newspapers. "After winning a game, George starts to get carried away. George is so arrogant, is he really not afraid of becoming a laughing stock in the end. Don't say it's Blackburn, even Juventus don't dare to say that this season's UEFA Cup is in their own pocket. But also, George himself has long been an alternative laughing stock in English football. George was thick-skinned and didn't care about that. ”

The Telegraph showed no mercy to George.

However, George did not respond to The Telegraph. The more you respond to these newspapers, the happier you are. George wants to use his results to show them that what he said is definitely not a casual braggadocio.

Soon the second round of fixtures began, with Blackburn Rovers hosting youth defenders Leeds United.

Leeds United were kicked to fifth place in the Premier League last season by George's Blackburn, who thought they would never be seen again in the UEFA Cup. I didn't expect Leeds United to be like a small powerhouse that couldn't be beaten, passed the International Toto Cup game, or entered the League Cup game.

Leeds United have also made a big transfer move this season, with their top scorer Jimmy Hasselbaink leaving Leeds United for Atletico Madrid after contract renewal talks fell apart. And Sunderland's goalscorer Michael. Bridges joined Leeds United.

Michael. Bridges is also a rising star in England in recent years. They have been outstanding at Sunderland, who have always been a lift in the Premier League and League One. But Sunderland won the League One title last year and were able to return to the Premier League. And Michael. Bridges scored 12 goals in League One last season and Leeds United bought him for £5 million.

Although Hasselbaink left Leeds United, Leeds United's strength has not declined, but has improved. The main reason is that many Leeds players have Premier League experience, and they will definitely perform better this year than the previous year.

However, it may be because he is not used to the absence of Hasselbaink, and in the last game in the midfield was forced to draw 0-0 by Derby. Leeds United were excellent throughout the game, but lacked the back of the net. The new Michael. Bridges has not fully adapted to Leeds United's style of play and there were many opportunities in the last game, but they didn't take advantage of them.

George will never let go of the current Leeds United. Leeds United are now like Blackburn Rovers at the start of last season, with the new main striker yet to settle into the team. It's just the chance to grab points.

Now Ewood Park has completely become George's home field, and when George comes out, the whole stadium is full of "George. Levy" cheers did not stop. George doesn't like to be too restrained, but he loves to be cheered on the pitch.

George looked at Ewood Park, then waited for a moment to see O'Reilly. As the host, George was the first to reach out.

Looking at the smiling George, O'Reilly was angry. Leeds United performed very well last season and have all but booked a fourth place in the Premier League. But since George declared war on Leeds United, Leeds United's results have been greatly affected.

O'Reilly knew that last season, his young players were under a lot of pressure from George.

O'Reilly can be free from George's influence, but the lads at Leeds are all affected. In the rush of the competition, the results fell behind. And after winning Leeds United, George ridiculed Leeds United.

Although later through the International Toto Cup, entered the League Cup. But in order to qualify for the League Cup, the team did not have a good rest this summer. Now it seems like nothing, but by February or March there will be a lot of other problems.

As soon as he thought of these things, O'Reilly hated George in his heart. It's all because of the George in front of him that Leeds United lost face last year.

It also made O'Reilly's first coaching disgrace.

It turned out to be eleven points ahead of Blackburn, but by the end of the season, it was actually four points ahead of Leeds. Blackburn actually chased fifteen points in a row. They were all Premier League rookies, but in the end, O'Reilly was a defeat against George.

Therefore, O'Reilly looked at George very unpleasantly, but as the saying goes, he didn't hit the smiling man with his hand, so he smiled reluctantly.

O'Reilly is vengeful, whether it's at home or away. O'Reilly is a coach who can't hold his breath, and his players can't hold their breath anymore.

At the beginning of the game, their attack was very fierce, and Colwill on the wing was also much more vigorous today. Of course, Bowyer in midfield was even more active. The youngsters all remember the last-minute defeat of Blackburn Rovers last season.

George looked at Leeds United's attack and smiled instead.

If a team can't hold its breath, then it's not far from failure. Looking at Leeds United's attack right now, it's a classic sign of instability. The offensive is not about hitting Wang Baquan, but about having your own tactical routines.

Leeds United are now playing the king's eight punches, not their best attack.

George didn't expect O'Reilly to do the same either. It stands to reason that O'Reilly has had a brilliant career and is a talented person who has seen the world. I didn't expect a small setback last season to make O'Reilly so breathless.

Tsk tsk, it seems that O'Reilly is going to have a hard time being a good coach.

In fact, the strength of Leeds United, as long as it is steady and steady, does not necessarily mean that it cannot defeat Blackburn. Although Blackburn's style of play is somewhat Crieds United, Leeds United can dominate the Champions League in two years, which is definitely strong.

But they have now lost their cool and lost their attack.

Their offense was messed up, and Blackburn's side was easy to fight. George is most willing to play a team like Leeds United that plays midfield, although Leeds United attack fiercely, but it is all thunder and rain. They themselves are in a mess, and of course they can't break the door.

Even if an opportunity arises, they can't take it.

But it's not the same with Blackburn. The Leeds players were in a hurry, but the Blackburn Rovers players were not. Blackburn Rovers were tired at times against some underdogs last season, but they were easily beaten against Leeds United.

They were also able to reverse Leeds United and become fourth in the Premier League. Therefore, against Leeds United, they have a psychological advantage.

The so-called psychological advantage is actually an illusory thing. But it's very useful in competitions.

This is the case with the current Blackburn players, who are playing with ease in the face of a anxious Leeds United. Seventeen minutes into the game, Blackburn took advantage of a free-kick and Hyypia headed in the first goal.

After scoring a goal, Blackburn Rovers were even more calm. Just before half-time, Deco fired a long-range shot that hit Woodgate's leg and deflected into the net.

In the second half, Blackburn Rovers were still outstanding. Bellamy, who came off the bench, took advantage of Leeds United's big attack, a classic counterattack, and used speed to surpass all defenses. In the end, even the goalkeeper passed, and then pushed into the empty goal.

Looking at Bellamy's speed, George thought to himself, this is the so-called "world martial arts, only fast is not broken". Bellamy can use his speed to run rampant in world football.

At the end of the game, O'Reilly grimaced. This is the third time Leeds have met Blackburn, but each time it has been disgraced. O'Reilly, who has never been bad-tempered, left the court without saying hello to George at the end of the game.

Wins over Coventry City and Leeds United had a different impact. Leeds United have had a great run of results in recent years, and last year they were direct rivals to Blackburn. However, Leeds United were almost beaten by Blackburn Rovers in this game.

"I'm a person who never speaks big. UEFA Cup, our goal this season is to win the UEFA Cup! George was again as arrogant as he always was in front of the media.

After the last game, a lot of the media that accused George of hubris lost their voices. To be able to play Leeds United to such an extent, even if it is said that their goal is the UEFA Cup, why not.

"The Sun" even after the end of this game, the headline wrote: Is it arrogant, or powerful.
