Coaching legend

George was in high spirits after defeating Arsenal 1-0. George already knew that the League Cup semi-finals were won.

After this game, George could calmly deal with the two opponents in the Premier League. But Arsenal will need a hard fight.

Of course, if it was Arsenal in the undefeated season, they would have more room for rotation. Even after two tough games, they still had the strength to fight Blackburn in the second game. But Arsenal is not like that now.

There are almost no available players on the Arsenal bench now. They just use one lineup to conquer the world.

After playing against Leeds United, how much combat power can Arsenal have left?

So George smiled unconsciously.

"Coach Levy, the weakness of Arsenal you mentioned is their dense schedule?"

Even if they didn't think of it before the game, the reporters understood it after the game started. After all, these reporters have been immersed in football for many years and have unique vision. Just look at the game and you will know what the head coaches of both sides think.

"Didn't you see that?"

"Coach Levy, don't you think this game was unfair?" A reporter spoke very aggressively.

It can be said that all reporters who asked George questions were like this. They all hoped to hear explosive news from George, and George had offended too many reporters. If they were playing against foreign teams, they could still support George, but they would be very demanding of George in the internal disputes of the Premier League.

"Unfair victory?" George did not get angry as they imagined, but continued to answer with a smile. "In China, there was a great military strategist more than 2,000 years ago. There is a saying in his military work "The Art of War" that knowing yourself and the enemy will lead to victory in all battles."

"I saw Arsenal's weakness, and I also made targeted arrangements for this weakness. The result is what you see."

Hearing George talk about military works, these reporters were confused. However, they already knew that George could speak fluent Chinese, but they didn't expect that George even knew the military books in Chinese history.

The Chinese reporters present were smiling.

China's military books were actually mentioned by George. What a proud thing this is. George actually used "The Art of War" on the football field.

However, the English reporter was not satisfied. He wanted to hear something more explosive. But now seeing that George was not angry at all, the reporter was very frustrated. So he continued to ask questions.

"Coach Levy, even if you see Arsenal's weaknesses. You can completely defeat them openly, why..."

Although he didn't finish, the meaning came out.

George shook his head. These reporters are really funny. They have to hear some shocking news from him before they stop. However, George has a good relationship with Wenger. Although he has won the FA Cup once in Burnley, and Arsenal has given George an eight-to-zero shame.

But overall, there is no deep hatred between Blackburn and Arsenal. The two head coaches, George and Wenger, still have the same position on many issues.

So George can't do anything to laugh at Arsenal.

"There is another saying in that great book. It is better to attack the heart than to attack the city. Since there is a better choice, I can force Arsenal to retreat, why fight to the death."

No matter what the reporters asked, George answered with a smile. In the end, these reporters also saw that George was in an abnormal state today.

…………

Winning the first game of the League Cup semi-final, especially leading Arsenal 1-0 away.

Blackburn players understand that Blackburn has one foot in the League Cup final now. League Cup final, who dared to imagine this two or three years ago.

When the team returned to Blackburn, more than 10,000 fans welcomed George and Blackburn players. The happiness of Blackburn fans now cannot be replaced by anyone. Before George took over, Blackburn was nominally a former Premier League champion team.

But how did those three years go by, only Blackburn fans themselves know.

From a Premier League champion, Blackburn could only hang around in the relegation zone for three consecutive years. In the 97-98 season, it was thrillingly relegated in the last round. This experience is not something that fans of other Premier League teams can understand.

Since George took over Blackburn, Blackburn's performance has been steadily improving. In the last stage of last season, the team ranked fourth in the Premier League and won a place in the League Cup. This season, the team ranked second in the Premier League and will soon enter the League Cup final.

Although there is basically no hope for the league championship, Blackburn fans do not blame George at all. In their view, the current results are already a big surprise.

In the next few days, Blackburn will welcome Bradford and Watford in succession.

George began to rotate, but now George has also begun to learn from Ferguson. He will not play all the main players in one game and all the substitutes in another game. Instead, he has made some mixed combinations, but there are more main players in the game against Bradford and fewer main players in the game against Watford.

However, it may be the victory in the first game of the League Cup semi-final that inspired Blackburn. Blackburn won both games. Although it was only a small score of 1:0 and 2:1, it is still six points for Blackburn.

But George didn't care about the strong team in the league. Because Manchester United is playing crazy now, and it's not just crazy.

First, they beat Middlesbrough 4-2 away, and then beat Sunderland 4-0 at home. Manchester United, who was eliminated from the Champions League, is really crazy. After winning Middlesbrough and Sunderland, Manchester United has achieved an amazing seven-game winning streak.

And in the last twelve games, Manchester United has achieved nine wins and three draws.

Facing such a strong Manchester United, George can only smile bitterly. After returning from the Club World Cup, Manchester United has not lost a game so far.

Ferguson's Manchester United was definitely not fake in its fierceness in grabbing points at the end of the season. George can be regarded as a real appreciation of Manchester United's ability to grab points.

Another team, Arsenal, also performed very well. First, they beat Sheffield Wednesday 1-0 at home, and then beat their direct competitor Leeds United 3-0 away. With the victory of this game, Arsenal basically retained the third place in the Premier League this season. Of course, it also retained a place in the Champions League.

However, Arsenal paid a heavy price for these two games.

Although the game against Blackburn in the League Cup semi-finals had caused Arsenal's physical strength to have serious problems. But for the Champions League quota for next season, Wenger could only send out the strongest main lineup.

Although they defeated two opponents very smoothly and retained the third place in the Premier League. But Wenger still wanted to cry without tears.

The two games have exhausted the physical strength of Arsenal's main players.

George also watched the focus battle between Arsenal and Leeds United on the spot. But after watching it, George kept cursing O'Reilly in his heart.

O'Reilly, you soft egg.

Now is the most important moment for Leeds United. Only by entering the Champions League can Leeds United get more attention. It will also make the owner of Leeds United invest in the Champions League.

But looking at the game, they only resisted a little bit and were beaten by Arsenal. They were beaten 3-0 at home by Arsenal, who had no advantage in physical strength. This kind of game should have a kind of momentum, a kind of unstoppable momentum.

But Leeds United didn't have it. Coach O'Leary didn't have it either.

George also hoped that a few injured players would come out in the game between Arsenal and Leeds United. Unfortunately, George's evil idea did not appear in reality.

But George was very satisfied.

After the game with Leeds United, Arsenal went to Ewood Park to prepare for the second game of the League Cup semi-final. The time interval between them was only four days.

This high-intensity game made Arsenal players very tired. If it weren't for the momentum, Arsenal would have collapsed long ago.

Blackburn was full of energy.

George had already let the team recuperate and wait for Arsenal's challenge. This time George didn't have any tricks and sent out Blackburn's main lineup this season.

Now Blackburn has an away goal and is full of confidence facing Arsenal. George wants to play against Arsenal in the way Blackburn is best at, and to completely destroy Arsenal with offense.

Although Wenger's Arsenal was also in high spirits, they were still unable to cope with Blackburn, who was waiting for them. Facing Blackburn's offensive at home, they soon revealed a flaw.

"Pires, cross... Klose, it's Klose! This is Klose's 23rd goal this season! He beat Adams to score this goal! This is also Klose's fourth UEFA Cup goal this season."

When Klose scored a goal in the 24th minute of the first half, the game was completely over.

Blackburn continued to attack, while Arsenal's pace became heavier. If it weren't for the fact that there were too many games this season, how could Adams let Klose score a header so easily.

Wenger just spread his hands helplessly off the court.

In fact, when he came to Ewood Park, Wenger already knew that the hope of a comeback was almost zero. But Wenger still wanted to try. Unfortunately, not long after the start of the first half, Blackburn completely broke Wenger's fantasy.

Seeing Klose's goal, George simply clapped his hands off the court.

Klose has matured a lot. Of course, he has not yet reached George's requirements. Scoring 23 goals in a season is a good result. But facing super strikers such as Henry and Van Nistelrooy, there is still a big gap.

The game was no suspense. In the end, Blackburn scored another goal in the second half. They defeated Arsenal with a score of 2-0 and entered the UEFA Cup final with a total score of 3-0.

Amid the cheers of the fans, George said to the reporter: "I said I would win the UEFA Cup, and I will win the UEFA Cup."
