Chapter 196 Manchester United (Part 1)

Blackburn's game is really interesting. The remaining two rounds of games are actually between Manchester United and Arsenal.

The most concerned issue in English football now is not the competition between Blackburn and Leeds United for the League Cup spot. This is a small problem now. The most concerned issue in English football now is the battle for the Premier League championship.

After 36 rounds of games, Arsenal ranked first in the Premier League with 79 points. Manchester United ranked second with 75 points.

In fact, the difference of four points is not a lot. But the problem is that there are only two rounds left in the game, which is a gap that is difficult to overcome. In addition, the goal difference between them is also very different. Arsenal's goal difference reached 46, while Manchester United's goal difference was 40. The goal difference difference is six.

According to the current scores of the two teams, maybe we will see who has more goal difference in the end.

Now all the media are paying attention to who will win the championship between Arsenal and Manchester United. Of course, Arsenal has the highest chance of winning the championship now, but they have two games left to face Leeds United and Blackburn away. This is not a favorable schedule.

If Arsenal wins the championship, then Wenger will lead Arsenal to defend the title. If a league wins three consecutive championships, it will be said that it has dominated this period of time.

And defending the championship is also a strong performance of this team. Arsenal is completely different from Blackburn, which was a nouveau riche at the time. As a traditional English giant, its strong rise has attracted more people's interest.

Of course, Manchester United, as the undisputed overlord since the establishment of the Premier League, will not give up the championship so obediently.

Although Chelsea also joined the championship game at the beginning of this season. But after nearly two-thirds of the league schedule, Chelsea slowly withdrew from the championship competition. Others just feel sorry for Vialli's Chelsea, but George knows.

Since Wenger took over Arsenal, the Premier League will have eight years of Manchester United and Arsenal's confrontation. It is also a PK between Wenger and Ferguson, two world-class coaches. Chelsea and Liverpool are just the foils of their two teams in the league.

They will play against Blackburn in the last two rounds. It can be said that Blackburn has become one of the most important forces that affect the Premier League championship.

George looked at the standings and goal difference, and his heart was bleeding when he saw Arsenal's goal difference. Damn, Arsenal's goal difference is so high now, and he contributed the most. He gave them eight goals in one game.

If Arsenal finally won the championship this season, when future generations count this season, will they say that it was because Blackburn lost to Arsenal 0-8 that Arsenal won the championship. That would be really unfair.

However, George didn't care who would win the championship between Arsenal and Manchester United at this time. It's not so easy for Blackburn to face two strong enemies. As long as one is not careful, it is very likely that both games will be lost.

Although Leeds United is four points behind Blackburn, there are still two games left. It's not the time to settle yet, and it is very likely that Blackburn will lose George's efforts for a season in two games.

Therefore, the first thing to prepare is the Manchester United game.

…………

It's the end of the season, and it's already May.

Today's Ewood Park will usher in a highlight of this round of games. Of course, there is another highlight in the same time period, that is, Leeds United's home game against Arsenal.

These two games determine the fate of four teams. Manchester United and Arsenal's Premier League championship battle, Blackburn and Leeds United's battle for the League Cup spot.

If it was before the season, no one would think that Blackburn could beat Manchester United. But now, even if Blackburn beat Manchester United, it would not be a surprise. Even Manchester United and Arsenal's Premier League championship depends on George's face.

If George lets any team go, the other team will suffer heavy losses.

"Bang bang bang!" George knocked hard on the tactical board. "There is only one goal in this game, which is to win. Four points are not safe, because our next opponent is Arsenal. Those last-minute lore and overtaking the score are really exciting. But I prefer to confirm the leading advantage early."

"I can't expect Leeds United to make mistakes, nor do I expect to comfort myself by losing this game because we still have to play against Arsenal. So I want to win this game."

George really doesn't want to work hard for a season and be overtaken by Leeds United again in the end. That would be meaningless.

"But we want to win, and Manchester United needs to win more. Even if Manchester United beats us, they may not win the championship. If they draw or lose, then this year's Premier League championship will be completely out of the question. So in terms of anxiety, they are more anxious."

To be honest, Manchester United is indeed very perfect at the moment, especially their midfield combination is absolutely perfect and can't be more perfect. Although George is very confident in his midfielders, he still has no idea about going head-to-head with Manchester United.

But now the two teams have different mentalities, and Manchester United must win this game to have a chance to win the championship. In addition to victory, Manchester United cannot accept any other results.

This is what George can use. And George will definitely take advantage of it.

Although George was also anxious, he was far less anxious than Ferguson. Ferguson can be said to be the best coach in the Premier League in the past decade. No coach can match Ferguson, and the good old Kevin Keegan was almost driven crazy by Ferguson.

But since Wenger took over Arsenal, he has brought a breath of fresh air to the English football world. More importantly, a head coach who is on par with Ferguson has finally emerged. Ferguson will definitely not allow Wenger to ride on his head for two consecutive years.

Therefore, George believes that Ferguson will definitely win this game.

"I want to compete with Manchester United in patience in this game. If Manchester United doesn't attack, we won't attack. When Manchester United attacks, we will counterattack them. If Manchester United is not in a hurry, then we don't have to be in a hurry either."

"But when Manchester United has the ball, we have to press the ball all over the field. Manchester United has played on three fronts this season and has reached the finals of the FA Cup and the Champions League. They play on three fronts and look very fierce. In fact, their physical strength is still very problematic. Compared with them, our physical strength is much better, so I ask for pressing the ball all over the field. Once we counterattack, we will immediately counterattack."

This season, Manchester United is a famous triple crown season in history. Now Manchester United has entered the FA Cup final and the Champions League final, but in order to enter these finals, Manchester United played a total of nine games in April. Including the FA Cup semi-finals, there are two games because of the rematch. Two games in the Champions League semi-finals, plus five games in the Premier League.

This week, Manchester United has played the third game, including this game. Almost one game every three days, this intensity of the schedule is the only way Manchester United can survive until now.

Even if Manchester United's team lineup is not bad, Ferguson has made reasonable rotations. But Manchester United still has too many games in April, two games a week. Their players can still hold on, just relying on one breath.

But in terms of physical strength, they will definitely have big problems.

Manchester United's anxiety, their physical problems, these are things that George will never give up as long as they are beneficial to him.

Before the game started, George and Ferguson shook hands politely.

Neither of them had much to say. Now George and Ferguson were anxious. There was not much free time to chat.

After seeing George come out, Ewood Park once again remembered the "George Levy Song". It is said to be a song, but in fact it is to shout George's name on a certain melody. This song created by the diehard fans in the Blackburn stands has become a common song for all the fans in Ewood Park to cheer George.

George waved to the fans in the stands very freely. George's actions will of course be cheered by the fans even more. In one season, George really began to conquer the fans in this stadium in one season.

After the game started, people found out. Blackburn no longer has the aggressive midfielder's momentum. This season, Blackburn's style of play is a midfield oppressive style. Once the ball is lost, they will block in the midfield. Therefore, Blackburn has a very obvious advantage in the ball possession rate in many Premier League games this season.

But in this game, Blackburn shrank back. The most obvious one is Miku, as the offensive core of Blackburn, who has always been in the front. He is in the same position as the opponent's defensive midfielder, but today he is only slightly forward than Deco.

Deco is in almost the same position as Makelele.

The two wingers are Duff and Romedal, and the striker is Bellamy. This is a completely counterattack formation.

If Manchester United passes the ball in the backcourt, Blackburn will not care. Once the ball enters the midfield, Blackburn players will block it frantically. George is very satisfied with his deployment on the sidelines. Manchester United should be anxious now.

However, Yu Jiao found that Ferguson had no expression at all. Sitting on the bench, he crossed his legs, chewed gum, and looked relaxed.

George found that the players of Manchester United were not in a hurry. They would cross the ball when they had the chance, looking for York and Cole in front. Scholes' position was erratic, and he could be seen in various positions in the midfield and frontcourt.

On the contrary, Beckham and Giggs on the two sides were not as active as before. The two sides of Manchester United are very distinctive, and their attacks are also quite distinctive. But they were not in a hurry in this game.

The current situation is like Manchester United standing outside, with their hands on their waists, shouting at Blackburn: You bunch of cowards, come out if you have the guts!

Blackburn is nestling inside: If you have the guts, come in, I won't come out, what can you do to me!

George didn't know whether Manchester United was really not in a hurry or pretending to be in a hurry. Anyway, Manchester United still played football in their inherent way and was not in a hurry. George frowned, really didn't understand Ferguson's plan.

Could it be that he was wrong, no! Now Ferguson is testing his own patience. I don't believe that if the game continues like this, Ferguson will not be anxious.

I can't lose my composure. I have to compete with Ferguson in patience. Whoever gets anxious first in this game will lose. Stay calm, stay calm. Therefore, George stood on the sidelines and made a steady gesture.
