Chapter 429: Three Consecutive Championships (Part 1)

"Coach Levy, what do you think about three Serie A teams entering the Champions League semi-finals?"

As soon as the game was over, Italian reporters gathered around George. They didn't want George to run away like he did last time at Ewood Park. One of the Italian reporters asked George with ill intentions.

Yes, after this game, all the Champions League semi-finals were announced. Juventus tied with Barcelona 1-1 away, so they played overtime. In the overtime, Juventus's Sarajeta scored a goal that decided their fate.

In the end, Juventus eliminated Barcelona with Sarajeta's goal in overtime.

On the other side, Inter Milan was very lucky. They defeated Ajax 2-0 at home, and although they lost to Ajax 1-2 away, they still had a total score of 3-2.

In this way, the top three teams in Serie A have all entered the top four of the Champions League. Last season, the top three teams in the Premier League surrounded Real Madrid, but this season it became the top three teams in Serie A. The top three teams in Serie A all made it to the semi-finals of the Champions League. This made the Italian reporters very proud.

George just glanced at the Italian reporter who asked the question and answered unhappily. "A blind cat meets a dead mouse."

Although George was still mean, the Italian reporters didn't care. Because the game was won, George was still stubborn, which was a typical case of a dead duck being stubborn. They were now hoping that George would continue to be stubborn so that they could laugh at him.

"Coach Levy, both games were lost to Milan without any suspense. Blackburn didn't have a chance in the game. Where do you think the problem lies?"

George walked and stopped when he saw that he was about to reach the exit.

"Problem? What's the problem? It's just that Milan is luckier than us. Any team in the world can fail. You should first find out why Milan has not been in the top four of the Champions League in recent years, and then find our problem. There is no team that always wins in this world. What's the point of losing a game? There will be plenty of opportunities to meet Milan in the future."

After George finished speaking, he ignored the questions from the reporters behind him and left the court.

George knew that he was completely defeated this time. Since it was a failure, there was no reason. If you lose, you lose. Next season, or the season after, you will always meet Milan. Then we will settle accounts with them.

But it is obvious that the Italian media is unwilling to let George go.

Compared with Juventus and Inter Milan, the Italian media is more concerned about Milan's victory over Blackburn. Because Blackburn is the Premier League champion and the defending champion of the Champions League. In addition to the grudges between George and the Italian football world in the past few seasons, how could they let George go.

Relying on the powerful Milan media, there are voices mocking George everywhere.

"Blackburn is just a dark horse. It soared to the sky relying on the unfamiliar opportunities of the opponent. After people paid attention to him, Blackburn had no chance. Facing Milan, they didn't even have a little chance."

"A dark horse is just a dark horse after all, and it is impossible to become a giant. George Levy thought that he could become a famous European coach with a Champions League title. It's ridiculous!"

The Milan media is definitely one of the most powerful media in the world.

Berlusconi, the owner of Milan, is the king of Italian media. Many important Italian media are in Berlusconi's hands. Therefore, most of the Italian media support Milan.

Now Milan has defeated Blackburn. And it is a double victory over Blackburn without any suspense, which makes many media supporting Milan sing praises to Milan like crazy.

Of course, this trend of Italian media has also blown to England.

Some media in England are also surprised that Blackburn lost to Milan so much.

George's biggest enemy in English football, Mark Lawrenson, finally found a good opportunity. "I said at the beginning of the season that Blackburn will be punished for selling Deco and Makelele."

"Look now, the consequence of them selling Deco and Makelele is that they have no power to fight back against European giants. If it was Blackburn last season, would it be defeated by Milan so easily? Absolutely impossible. But this season's Blackburn? Humph!"

"Young Alonso, can he replace Deco? Proud George has been punished!"

There seems to be nothing between the lines. In fact, it is all gloating. George certainly understands this.

However, although there are many English media, some of them criticize George. But what they criticize the most is that Blackburn should not have lost to Milan like this. Because it was too unexpected, there was no suspense at all, and they lost to Milan.

Compared with the Italian media, they are much gentler.

Because although Blackburn was eliminated by Milan, Blackburn is likely to be crowned the Premier League champion in the Premier League.

So in the eyes of the English media, this is just a mistake in the knockout round.

…………

After the game with Milan, it will be the 36th round of the Premier League.

Now Blackburn is five points ahead of Manchester United, with only three rounds of the league left.

In this round, Blackburn faces West Ham United.

In the 1990s, many Premier League teams' youth training camps produced many talented players who shocked the European football world. Among them were not only Manchester United's 92 generation, but also Leeds United's youth team and the current West Ham United's youth team. West Ham United's youth team is no less powerful than Leeds United. They are even more influential than Leeds United's players.

Ferdinand, Lampard, Carrick, Joe Cole, Defoe, Glen Johnson, these people are all figures who will call the shots in the English football world in the next ten years.

Unfortunately, although there are many talented players trained, very few players stay in West Ham United.

Ferdinand first went to Blackburn and now to Manchester United. He is already the core of Manchester United's defense.

Lampard has already transferred to Chelsea. He has become Chelsea's main midfielder.

Defoe was also brought to Blackburn by George.

Carrick, Joe Cole, and Glen Johnson stayed in West Ham United. Unfortunately, they are all young people, and they are completely incomparable to Ferdinand and Lampard.

As for the head coach of West Ham United, it is George's old acquaintance Rodel.

Rodel, a professional relegation player, has now brought West Ham United to the brink of relegation. George sometimes doesn't understand why so many clubs still invite Rodel when his team has such a poor performance.

Although they lost to Milan, it did not affect the Blackburn players.

Because after the first game, they already knew that they would be eliminated. Therefore, although they were upset about being eliminated by Milan, they were not as depressed as after the first game.

Facing Rodel's West Ham United, the club that was about to be relegated was not polite at all.

When Burnley was relegated, Rodel was the coach of Burnley. Since he can relegate you once, George can relegate Rodel's team for the second time. George treated West Ham United toughly in the midfield. Although Carrick is good, he is still a child now.

When George defended Carrick in the midfield, Carrick's role declined a lot. Alonso and Essien's attitude towards Joe Cole is to foul him roughly. Joe Cole's skills are indeed very good.

But Joe Cole also has the problem of a technical player.

Joe Cole's biggest problem is that he sticks to the ball too much. And his physical confrontation ability is very poor. Therefore, after a certain amount of rough fouls were made on him, Joe Cole immediately became honest. The current Joe Cole is not the Joe Cole after being trained by Mourinho.

After restraining Carrick and Joe Cole, George also increased the attack on the wing.

Glen Johnson has strong offensive strength, but unfortunately his defense is average. Pires made two assists in the game, one to Klose and one to Miku. Klose and Miku each scored a goal and defeated West Ham United 2-0.

Although Rodel had a blank expression after the game, he was about to cry in his heart.

Rodel looked at George, who was chatting and laughing with Blackburn players, and felt very uncomfortable. Could it be that George is his destined enemy? The last time I went to Burnley, I was relegated to the English League One by George's Blackburn.

Now I coach West Ham United and finally got so many points. But at the most important moment, I was hit by George's Blackburn again.

George, George! When I first met George, George was still the head coach of the English League Two, and I was the head coach of the English League One. It's a pity that I didn't expect that George would become a famous coach in Europe after all these years, and I could only wander around.

If West Ham United is relegated this season, I will have to continue to look for other jobs. Thinking about it, Rodel feels sad.

However, in the game that ended at the same time, Manchester United defeated Tottenham 2-0 away.

After the 36th round of the Premier League, Blackburn is still five points ahead of Manchester United. Five points is not much, but there are only two rounds of the league left, which is a huge advantage.

All the eyes of the English football world are focused on Ewood Park on May 3, 2003.

Because as long as Blackburn wins this round of games, then Blackburn will win the fourth Premier League championship. No one is paying attention to the games of Manchester United and Arsenal, because the entire competition for the Premier League championship is now in the hands of Blackburn.

Manchester United wants to win the Premier League championship this season, and it depends entirely on Blackburn's mood.

In this game, Blackburn faced West Bromwich.

West Bromwich finally managed to stay in the league after the last round of games. After a good carnival, now facing Blackburn, there is some fighting power, which is very questionable.

Blackburn fans are very enthusiastic. Although they were eliminated from the Champions League knockout stage, they were very disappointed. But now they are about to win the fourth Premier League championship, and they are still in a good mood. So half an hour before the game started, Blackburn fans sang to cheer for the team.

"This is the 37th round of the Premier League. Blackburn is currently five points ahead of Manchester United. As long as Blackburn does not lose this game, according to Blackburn's current goal difference. This season's Premier League championship is a sure win. If this game wins, then Blackburn will win the Premier League championship in advance. It is the fourth Premier League championship!"
