Coaching legend
Chapter 421 The knockout round is my backyard
Beat Valencia 3-0 at home, George can be regarded as revenge for being eliminated that year. Valencia only scored one point in three rounds, Roma scored three points, and Ajax scored four points. Except for Blackburn with nine points, their points are not very high.
Blackburn relied on the victory of this game to consolidate the first place in the group.
Many European media were surprised by Blackburn's outstanding performance in the death group. Although the current strength of the other three teams cannot be regarded as the best in Europe. But they are also quite strong.
Valencia was the La Liga champion last season, Ajax's young talents made all European football clubs crazy, and Roma was also the Serie A champion last season. These three teams are obviously strong teams in Europe, but facing the defending champion Blackburn, they had no resistance at all.
This made many European media change their tone.
At the beginning of the season, not only the British football media, but also the media of other European national teams believed that Blackburn's sale of Deco and Makelele was a big mistake. Deco and Makelele may not look as dazzling as Micoud, Pires and Klose, but their roles are certainly no less than theirs.
Of course, Deco's attention is much higher than Makelele's.
After all, Deco is the midfield commander responsible for Blackburn's offensive and defensive transitions. Many people believe that Deco's departure from Blackburn will definitely cause Blackburn's offense to fall into chaos. At the beginning of the season, as they said, Blackburn did encounter many problems.
But now all the voices of doubt have disappeared.
Because Blackburn used the best performance to tell them that although Blackburn's strength has been lost, it is still a strong team in European football. It is still the Champions League champion team.
In a group like this, let alone Blackburn. Even Real Madrid and Milan dare not say that they can break through the group stage so easily. Unexpectedly, Blackburn took the first place in the group stage so easily.
After playing the game against Valencia, Blackburn challenged Chelsea away.
Chelsea has also performed well in the past few seasons.
Ranieri is definitely one of the best coaches in European football. Of course, George thinks so.
Although George despises Ranieri, a coach without a championship, he still agrees with Ranieri's ability. Especially his ability to integrate the team. Ancelotti and Mourinho, who integrated the team, were both excellent coaches later.
But Ranieri also has his own way.
Whether it was in Valencia or after Chelsea. How much material is there, what kind of dish is made. George has to admit defeat in this regard.
When Ranieri took over Chelsea, Chelsea had already reached the point of disintegration. Especially the old players, they were domineering in the locker room and did not obey the head coach at all. It was at this time that Ranieri took over Chelsea.
But in a very short time, Ranieri had completely integrated Chelsea.
Chelsea's combat effectiveness is not weak now. It has been striving for the top four.
If the Premier League in recent years is divided into a level, then Manchester United, Blackburn and Arsenal are the top three in the Premier League. These three teams are not only stable in Europe, but also in the Premier League. They have always been the first group of teams in the Premier League.
In addition to these three teams, Chelsea, Liverpool and Newcastle are all competing for the fourth place. Especially after the reform of the Champions League, the competition for the fourth place has become more and more fierce after the Premier League has four places. Now the fourth place is being fought over by these three teams.
This is the current Premier League situation.
Being able to bring Chelsea, which is about to fall apart, to this point, Ranieri's ability is evident. Unfortunately, Ranieri only has these skills and is always out of the championship.
Away, George doesn't care about other people's eyes.
Alonso rested. George used the double defensive midfielder formation of Hargreaves and Essien, and then used the combination of Kaka, Duff and Miku in front. The striker is the young player Defoe. Played a very obvious defensive counterattack.
Ranieri certainly knows Blackburn very well.
Therefore, let Petit follow Kaka closely. Yes, it is Petit. This defensive midfielder who shined in Wenger's hands, after arriving at Barcelona, made Barcelona grit their teeth. Because Petit's transfer fee is very expensive, but after arriving at Barcelona, his performance is completely incomparable to that at Arsenal.
So Barcelona threw Petit to Chelsea.
Although Petit's strength has declined a lot, he is experienced. Although he can't completely defend Kaka, he is still very successful in interfering with Kaka. But Blackburn is not just Kaka.
As a defensive midfielder, Petit only stares at Kaka, and it is difficult for others to defend.
Duff, who is active on both sides, is not such a good player to defend. Facing Melchiot and Le Saux, Duff is completely unstoppable. On the two sides of Chelsea, no one can defend Duff.
Ranieri put most of the defense on Kaka.
This led to the activity of others. Miku's two assists in the midfield were given to Duff on the side. Duff broke through the barrier alone, broke into the penalty area from the side, and scored two goals. And Defoe, who was very fast, also scored a goal in the counterattack.
Although Chelsea also scored a goal, it was just a goal that Hasselbaink used to save face.
George was very excited about the 3-1 away victory.
The "flying bootgate" incident will definitely have an impact on Manchester United. If anyone says that the conflict between Ferguson and Beckham has no impact on Manchester United at all, that is absolutely a joke. And this time the "flying boot scandal" caused such a big fuss, Beckham and Ferguson almost completely fell out.
In history, Beckham still had a little chance to play, but now he has no chance at all.
Impact occurs. In this round, Manchester United faced Bolton away, and was actually tied one to one by the weak Bolton. The points gap with Blackburn became six points. Ferguson was furious after the game and even cursed reporters at the post-match press conference.
The game was tied, and Ferguson, who was already furious, was asked about Beckham by reporters. How could he tolerate it?
Ferguson was definitely not a good-tempered coach. So at the press conference, he cursed harshly at reporters. When Ferguson was angry, he could say anything. All kinds of curse words come out casually.
Seeing this situation, George showed his little white teeth and advised kindly: "Coach Ferguson, you should change your temper. As you get older, if you keep losing your temper like this, it will be bad for your health. For your own health For your own sake, don’t be angry.”
"Look at the Liverpool manager, Mr Houllier. I don't want Coach Ferguson to end up in hospital for the same reason."
George is afraid that the world will not be in chaos. George's sarcastic and sarcastic manner made the Manchester media furious. But there is no way, George is not the only one who is sarcastic now. It’s just that George is the most famous and is on the front line.
Even after George jumped out, even Wenger came out. Ferguson's old enemy, Wenger, was also very kind in persuading Ferguson. Tell him it hurts him to be angry.
George looked at Wenger's smiling face and shook his head. How could it be that simple for Wenger to become famous in world football?
Later, not only George and Wenger, but also many clubs came to persuade Ferguson hypocritically. This made Ferguson furious. When interviewed by the media, he hit back at them: "I have been a head coach for more than 20 years and know how to manage the locker room. I am in good health and there will be no problem if I continue to coach for 20 years."
…………
There are cries of irony everywhere in Ferguson right now. The break with Beckham has already given Ferguson a headache. Ferguson hated this group of people who were making trouble.
But after George lit the fire, he immediately left.
George has no time and spends all his time on Manchester United. Because Blackburn will soon face their opponent Ajax in the fourth match of the Champions League group stage at home.
Blackburn are now in a good situation, winning three consecutive games in the first three games and accumulating nine points. George didn't want any accidents to happen in such a good situation.
George likes it best against teams like Ajax.
Although many people believe that Blackburn is also one of the representatives of artistic football. But George never considered himself an idealist. George cannot maintain the same style of play as Barcelona. Nor will he be a truly idealistic manager like Wenger.
George has no particular penchant for playing style. As long as you can win, nothing matters.
Likewise, George likes teams like Ajax not because of how well they play. It's because George has a lot of experience playing against these teams. The most powerful thing about teams like Arsenal, Barcelona, and Ajax is their genius offense. What is also most feared is rough fouls.
George didn't care whether his rough foul would leave any shadow on these young talents. In this game, Blackburn's actions were more rough. This time it was not just Van der Vaart who couldn't adapt, but the entire Ajax genius.
The game was dull.
There are situations where people are on their backs everywhere. But Blackburn completely disrupted Ajax's attack. When Ajax's offense has problems, things get easier. Klose received Kaka's cross and scored the only goal of the game.
In another game, Valencia defeated Roma 1-0 away from home.
This leaves Blackburn with twelve points, Valencia and Ajax with four points, and Roma with three points. Blackburn has already topped the group ahead of schedule, and the remaining three teams are all likely to appear.
George was very proud after the game.
Facing those reporters, he said arrogantly: "The Champions League knockout match? The Champions League knockout match is my back garden. I can go shopping whenever I want. Unless I'm tired of it, I can go shopping in my back garden at any time." .it's not a big deal."
George's arrogant look was photographed by reporters. Then it became the front page of major media newspapers the next day.
