Coaching legend

The game was won, and Blackburn ranked sixth in the Premier League.

When George was interviewed by the media, he expressed his views for the first time. "I have never thought about relegation. Because my team does not have the problem of relegation."

"There are still fifteen rounds of games left. My goal is very clear. We will play in the League Cup next year. The League Cup is our goal."

George's expression made all the reporters very happy. This is a very good news material. George challenged the current Leeds United, because the League Cup quota is aimed at the current fourth place in the Premier League.

The fourth place in the current Premier League is the young army Leeds United.

Although George did not name it, everyone knew that George's words were aimed at Leeds United.

"We are eight points ahead of Blackburn, and I don't think Blackburn can narrow this gap." David O'Reilly's answer was quite standard.

David O'Reilly has a good temper, while Graham's temper is not very good. Unexpectedly, his assistant coach has a relatively good temper.

But not all Leeds United have good tempers. Leeds United chairman Peter Ridsdale has a bad temper. He is now trying to raise money to restore Leeds United to glory. How can he allow someone to say this about his team?

"If talking can achieve results, then I am willing to say it in front of the media every day. I don't know if Coach Levy has a problem with his brain. As soon as the results are slightly better, he starts to talk nonsense in front of the media. If he likes to show up in front of the media so much, why not be an actor instead of a reporter."

"Coach Levy probably forgot that Blackburn is currently eight points behind us. He thought that the eight-point gap would disappear if he talked."

Peter Ridsdale responded to George in a very disdainful tone.

In fact, George was reluctant to say so early that his goal was the League Cup next season. Because this would put a lot of pressure on himself and his players, but George still said it. Mainly because George wanted to put pressure on Leeds United.

Although leading is an advantage, there will also be pressure. Especially when there is a fierce opponent like Blackburn behind, George believes that the young Leeds United players must be under great pressure. George wants to put pressure on them, although he knows it is a double-edged sword.

Leeds United players are young and generally cannot bear the pressure. But because they are young, they may also have greater potential. But George believes that the current Leeds United will definitely not be the latter, because many of Leeds United's current players have just been promoted to the first team this season.

They have no experience. Although Blackburn is young, many players have had a long period of professional experience. Even the young Duff experienced a thrilling relegation battle with Blackburn last year. Therefore, in terms of pressure resistance, Leeds United is definitely not comparable to Blackburn.

So George is willing to continue to provoke Leeds United's nerves.

"Eight points, but it's because we were a little careless at the beginning of the season. If not, our goal would not be as simple as entering the League Cup. Fortunately, our performance was not good at the beginning of the season, otherwise Leeds United would not be in the eyes of us Blackburn."

"Leeds United is just our defeated opponent. Maybe he forgot the 3-0 not long ago. Eight points is the difference of three games, but in fact it is only the difference of two games. Anyway, we have to face it again, that is three points for free."

When George dealt with Peter Ridsdale, he was even more disdainful. Then he ridiculed Leeds United severely.

It can be said that the quarrel provoked by George has received the second most attention after the current Premier League championship battle. Since the beginning of this season, Arsenal has continued the strong performance of last season and has always been leading the Premier League. Manchester United is following Arsenal closely behind.

Although Chelsea's performance is also good, and the gap with Arsenal and Manchester United is not big. However, most comments in the English football world now believe that Chelsea cannot win the championship. In their eyes, Manchester United and Arsenal are the strongest contenders for the Premier League championship.

The fierce competition between Arsenal and Manchester United made the media enjoy watching. Now there is a battle for the fourth place between George and Leeds United.

George's sarcasm made Leeds United furious. And this time, not only the chairman of Leeds United took part in the battle, but even the players of Leeds United could not stand it.

"I think Coach Levy should shut his mouth. If Coach Levy thinks that cursing can surpass us, then everyone can curse in the media every day. I don't understand how someone like George Levy can become a coach."

Lee Bowyer accused George very angrily in the media.

Hearing Lee Bowyer's accusation, George responded shamelessly. "If Bowyer can put his energy from the outside to the inside, he will not be as strong as he is now."

George was very happy when he saw Lee Bowyer's words. Leeds United players are young, and very young. There are also many thorns among them. It is not so easy for O'Leary to manage these young players.

O'Leary has also experienced many ups and downs, especially when he was a player, he has experienced a lot of things. But O'Leary is like a young lady sitting in a sedan chair as a coach. He has a problem with experience. And those players are young and can easily become a powder keg.

Bowyer couldn't help it and started a verbal battle in the media.

George really hopes that all Leeds United players will stand up and argue with George. But on the other hand, George controls his players and does not allow them to be interviewed by the media.

In this noisy and noisy way, the 25th round of the league began.

Blackburn is another home game, facing Newcastle at home. Newcastle has left a good impression on George. George's first victory in the Premier League was achieved at St. James Park. Gullit is really not suitable for Newcastle.

Not only did he fail to transform Newcastle's delicate technical style of play, but he also had a bad relationship with the players inside. In particular, the relationship with Newcastle boss Shearer is very problematic. Gullit has no idea who is in charge of Newcastle.

In addition to John Hall, the former chairman of Newcastle, Shearer's position in Newcastle is unshakable. Gullit's relationship with Shearer is not good, which is a dead end. Don't look at you as one of the Dutch Three Musketeers, you don't even have half of Shearer's influence in Newcastle.

Gullit's biggest problem is that he wants to turn Newcastle into a technical team like Chelsea. But he forgot that Chelsea can play a technical style of short passes because of players like Zola, Di Matteo, Vialli and Poyet. But Newcastle's offense has always been a big and open offense, which is not suitable for Gullit's changes.

Shearer finally played in this game, and this was the first time George met Shearer in a game. However, Newcastle is currently 14th in the Premier League, only four points ahead of Southampton in the relegation zone. That's because Newcastle's defense is too bad and the offense can't go up.

During the game, Newcastle's defense was wide open and Blackburn scored three goals. Although Newcastle also scored a goal against Blackburn, it still lost to Blackburn 1-3 away.

At the same time, I don't know if it was affected by George. In the 25th round, Leeds United was tied by Charlton Athletic at home. The final score was 1:1, which made George very happy.

In this way, Leeds United's points reached 45 points, while Blackburn's points were 39 points. The gap between the two teams was only six points.

…………

Blackburn was still strong, but Leeds United suddenly started to exert its strength after a draw and a loss in the last two games.

In the remaining three games in February, Blackburn and Leeds United won all the games, and the scores were not widened. After the end of the 28th round, Leeds United's points were 54 points and Blackburn's points were 48 points. Leeds United still exceeded Blackburn by 6 points.

The outstanding performance of Blackburn and Leeds United in recent rounds has attracted the attention of all media in the English football world.

The two strongest teams in February are Blackburn and Leeds United. After this period of soaring performance, Blackburn has become the fifth in the Premier League. West Ham United fell to the sixth place in the Premier League with a difference of five points.

As the two teams with the best performance in February, they suddenly fell into a slump after entering March.

In the 29th round of the Premier League, Blackburn was in a sluggish state at home and got a draw. Then in the 30th round, Blackburn was defeated by Sheffield Wednesday away. In the 31st round, Blackburn finally won a victory, defeating Coventry 1-0 away. After the start of March, the first three games only got one win, one draw and one loss. This made all the media who paid attention to Blackburn shake their heads.

However, George was even more upset, because it was not only Blackburn that was in a bad state during this period. Leeds United was in a worse state than Blackburn, with only two draws and one loss.

George knew that the main reason for this period was that the games were too intensive. George is not yet proficient in rotation, and Blackburn substitutes have not received much game experience this year. In the process of intensive schedule, they were greatly affected.

In the 31st round, Blackburn was still four points behind Leeds United. There are still seven rounds left, and Blackburn still has two strong teams, Manchester United and Arsenal, to deal with. Of course, there is also a direct dialogue with Leeds United.

However, Blackburn's schedule is difficult, and Leeds United's schedule is not necessarily that good. They not only have a direct dialogue with Blackburn, but also games with strong teams such as Liverpool and Arsenal.

Now George's energy is all focused on the 32nd round of the Premier League. Because George is going to lead Blackburn to challenge the direct opponent Leeds United away.
