Coaching legend

The championship battle between Manchester United and Blackburn has reached a fever pitch.

Except for these two teams, there are several strong teams that cannot compare with these two teams in today's days. Arsenal, the Premier League champion for the past two years, has obviously declined this season. There are many questions.

The first is that Henry entered the state too late. The other one is midfielder Pettit, who is in average form this season. The playing style of the two wings, especially Overmars on the left, conflicts somewhat with Henry.

Of course, another reason is that Arsenal's defense is too old. Too old. Adams and Keown are both thirty-four years old. Although they are strong, they are old and can no longer keep up with the pace of the Premier League. Relying on their excellent awareness and experience, they can still gain a foothold in a giant club like Arsenal, which is already very impressive.

Fortunately, as Henry adapted, Arsenal began to catch up. It has already surpassed Leeds United and become third in the Premier League.

Leeds United, which had a strong momentum in the first half of the season, has plummeted since the scandals involving Woodgate and Lee Bowyer. Although the team has begun to stabilize its position in these rounds, it has fallen from a team that can compete for the championship to fourth place.

Fortunately, in these games, O'Reilly finally rectified Leeds United.

Liverpool have shown great momentum this season. After Houllier bought many players last summer, Liverpool's performance began to improve a lot. But Houllier's transformation isn't over yet.

Chelsea, on the other hand, was completely in decline. Ranked fifth in the Premier League.

Chelsea have too many veterans. From the defense to the midfield and forwards, they are all old. In addition, although Vialli has achieved brilliant results as a player, he obviously cannot suppress Chelsea's veterans. So Chelsea's results this season are even worse.

None of the following teams has the strength to shake the status of Manchester United and Blackburn. Even Arsenal, third in the Premier League, is 14 points behind Manchester United and Blackburn Rovers.

This year's Premier League was only born between Manchester United and Blackburn.

…………

After playing at Tottenham, George led Blackburn on an expedition to Rome, Italy.

The UEFA Cup round of 16 is about to start at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.

Speaking of Roma, they are also a poor team. In other words, the entire Roma team is very pitiful.

Rome, the capital of Italy, is located in the lower plains of the Tiber River. It is the political, historical, cultural and transportation center of Italy. It is also the birthplace of ancient Rome and the world's splendid culture, with a history of more than 2,500 years. It is a treasure house of art, a famous cultural city, and the seat of the Roman Catholic Church. It is the largest and most populous city in Italy and one of the most famous tourist destinations in the world.

The history of Rome could not be covered in a day or night.

But when it comes to Italian football, although there are Roma and Lazio in Rome, their history is very pale. As capital teams, Roma and Lazio have really bad histories. Even Blackburn's history looks better than Roma and Lazio.

Roma has only two league championships, and Lazio has only one league championship.

As for the two teams in Milan, not to mention the Champions League championship, AC Milan alone has sixteen league championships. City rival Inter Milan also has thirteen league titles. Moreover, the two teams in Milan City have seven Champions League champions combined.

As for the two teams in Turin, Juventus has 25 league championships and Turin has seven league championships.

Compared with the two teams in Milan and the two teams in Turin, the historical results of the two teams in Rome are shabby no matter how you look at it.

As two teams in the capital, Roma and Lazio have always been very unhappy.

But even if you are not angry, there is nothing you can do. Not to mention history, even now the two teams do not have the strength to compete with the Milan duo and Juventus. Standing behind AC Milan is Italian media tycoon Silvio Berlusconi.

Although Inter Milan has repeatedly missed the championship in recent years, it is also backed by the oil family Moratti family. And Juventus is even more remarkable. It is a symbol of Italian wealth and glory and is controlled by the Agnelli family.

Compared with these three teams, Roma and Lazio are just a small fight.

George underestimated Roma in his heart, but he didn't know that Roma and the others underestimated Blackburn even more. What team are Blackburn Rovers? But how can the upstart who rose to prominence with the help of Jack Walker compare with Rome. And more Roma fans don't even know about Jack Walker, nor do they know that Blackburn won the Premier League championship more than four years ago.

Italian football is at its peak at this time. How could Blackburn, a small team, be in their eyes.

Blackburn was quiet. Few Italian media wanted to talk to George, but George didn't care. Let's see what your expressions look like when we defeat Rome.

March 2nd is coming soon.

George has also been to many stadiums, including Manchester United's Old Trafford and Wembley Stadium.

But Rome's Olympic Stadium is definitely ranked among the top stadiums in the world. Although this stadium has a long history, it is still so beautiful and magnificent.

But after entering the court, George frowned.

The Olympic Stadium is a large stadium that can accommodate 100,000 people. Of course, in general, it is said that the Olympic Stadium can accommodate 80,000 people. In fact, the Olympic Stadium has 80,000 seats and 25,000 standing seats.

However, the Olympic Stadium is obviously not a professional football stadium.

After seeing various professional football stadiums in England, George was not used to seeing a stadium with a runway for a while. And George looked up and down, and there was still half an hour before the game started.

If it was in England, 70 to 80 percent of the fans would have rushed in at this time. Start singing and cheering for the home team.

But now, looking at the Olympic Stadium, there are only a few 10,000 or 20,000 fans. The whole stadium is empty. If it is a small stadium like Ewood Park, it is not very conspicuous. But in a stadium as big as the Olympic Stadium, it is particularly dazzling.

Although there are still fans coming in to find seats, George still shook his head.

There are reasons for the decline of Serie A. There are so few fans on the scene. According to George's estimation, even if there is another half an hour, there can only be about 40,000 fans at most. If it is placed in Blackburn, there are enough fans on the scene.

But Roma and Blackburn are completely incomparable. Rome is a city with a population of more than 2.5 million, while Blackburn has only 140,000 people. But George believes that even if the capacity of Blackburn's stadium reaches 50,000 or 60,000, the enthusiasm of Blackburn fans can still fill the stadium.

But as a city with a population of more than 2.5 million, it is unreasonable for Roma to have so few fans on the scene.

A stadium that can accommodate 100,000 people has so few fans. How to reflect the home atmosphere. George shook his head.

When George was in Burnley, although in a low-level league, the enthusiasm of the fans exceeded that of Roma.

Sure enough, George's guess was correct, and the game was about to start. Roma fans didn't even fill half of the seats in the Olympic Stadium. Now is still the heyday of Serie A, and there are so few fans on the scene. What about in the future?

"Hello, Coach Capello."

Blackburn's style of play may be different from Capello's, but George pursues the same thing as Capello. Both George and Capello are coaches who value results and don't care about the situation. It should be said that they are both utilitarian coaches.

George likes Capello. The most favorite thing is that Capello is an absolute "champion coach". As long as there is Capello, no matter how ugly the situation is, there will still be a championship.

And Capello was the helmsman of the Milan dynasty in the early 1990s. When Capello led Milan to sweep Serie A, George had not yet become the head coach.

"Hello, Coach Levy." Unlike George who had a smile on his face, Capello was very serious.

After greeting George, Capello returned to his bench. George shrugged and smiled.

It seems that Capello doesn't take me seriously at all, and doesn't pick on George at all. But it's true that George is still a little famous in the English football world at most. Who knows George in Europe? As a world-famous coach, it is natural for Capello to look down on himself.

It's just that George has a slight sense of loss.

Capello has the right to look down on George, but George cannot look down on himself.

In addition to the slight sense of loss, George is more angry. Damn it, you Capello just achieved great success in Milan. I'm still young now, and when I reach your age, the world will be mine. When I dominate the football world, you will be old.

If I have achieved enough results and have the prestige of Ferguson. You Capello can still ignore me like this.

Humph!

George can't get the reputation of Ferguson in a short time. But it's okay to slap you first. Take care of your Roma, and then I'll see if you have the guts to put on a stinky shelf for me.

If Capello knew what George was thinking now, he would definitely smile bitterly in his heart.

Capello definitely didn't mean to ignore George. But Capello's current performance in the Roma league is very poor, and he has been under a lot of pressure recently. Capello has been considering whether to continue the journey of the UEFA Cup.

And Capello is not a coach like Ferguson or Wenger. Ferguson may have a bad temper, but he is usually very kind. Although Wenger has never been integrated into the English football world, he has a good relationship with George. So George has a good relationship with both Ferguson and Wenger.

But Capello's personality is like this. He rarely chats and laughs with unfamiliar coaches. He is always cold.

When the two head coaches were immersed in their own thoughts, the referee's whistle sounded.

"The League Cup round of 16 has begun. The two teams in the game are Blackburn Rovers from England and Roma from Italy."
