Coaching legend
Chapter 447 Undefeated Season?
"Owen, don't think too much. Take good care of your injury and try to return to the team as soon as possible."
Hargreaves' leg injury has stabilized. Hargreaves is receiving treatment in the hospital.
It will be December soon, and Blackburn will have more and more games. There will be no time to come and see Hargreaves, so George is taking time to come and see Hargreaves now. But it seems that Hargreaves is in good spirits.
Facing the first serious injury in his career, he was not discouraged at all.
"Boss, don't worry. This is just a small injury, nothing will happen. I will be able to return to the team soon."
Hargreaves is very optimistic.
Handsome face, showing a charming smile. Even George has to admit that Hargreaves is very handsome. Not just handsome, if Kaka hadn't come to the team, Hargreaves would be the most handsome in the club.
Seeing Hargreaves's confident expression, George likes it very much.
Hargreaves is really a midfielder with excellent psychological quality. George likes this kind of players the most, they can stay calm in any situation. It can also affect other players around.
After seeing Hargreaves, George met with Hargreaves' attending physician. Then he left the hospital.
Just as he arrived at the hospital gate, George suddenly remembered that Hargreaves in history was a glass man. And he was a famous glass man in the world football. Especially after joining Manchester United, he was lying in bed for almost seven or eight months a year.
What if Hargreaves really becomes a glass man?
Hargreaves' strength is unquestionable. If Hargreaves can be healthy until he is about 25 years old, George even thinks that Hargreaves can become the best midfielder in the world. But can Hargreaves be healthy to his peak?
Take advantage of the good sale now and sell him to cash in?
Hargreaves' current value is not low at all. Especially last season, he was still the main force and won the Premier League championship with Blackburn. As an English player, Hargreaves is widely praised in the Premier League.
He has also been selected into Eriksson's England national team. In the national team, he is even more valued than Lampard and Gerrard.
If he is sold, 20 million pounds is the lowest price.
If the price is slightly raised, it is not impossible to reach 30 million pounds.
But when this idea came out, George was shocked even himself. It turns out that he is really not a good person?
When Hargreaves was strong, he used him desperately. But now that Hargreaves has signs of injury, he immediately wants to sell him to cash in. He is really snobbish!
George shook his head quickly.
I think it is too inhumane to do so. George kept saying in his heart, brother, I am a humane person.
But after that idea just now, George could not help thinking about it. That idea has begun to take root in George's mind, but George just doesn't admit it and doesn't think about it.
Although it can't be said that Hargreaves' injury is gloating, it is a happy thing for other midfielders of Blackburn.
Including Essien and Parker. Essien finally got a starting position, and Parker got more opportunities to play.
On November 26, Blackburn played the fifth game of the Champions League group stage at home.
Blackburn played against AEK Athens, the weakest team in the group and had already been eliminated.
Blackburn players were gnashing their teeth for AEK Athens. The last time they were away from home, facing AEK Athens, Blackburn players practiced shooting throughout the game. Unfortunately, I don’t know which god they offended. They shot more than 20 times and hit the post four times, but there was not a single goal.
Therefore, when they returned to their home court, Blackburn players wanted to take revenge.
Unfortunately, I don’t know if God is playing tricks on Blackburn. This time, Blackburn’s advantage at home is even more obvious. But I don’t know why AEK Athens is crazy. They have been eliminated in the group stage, but they are still fighting so hard.
And I don’t know if AEK Athens is protected by the goddess of Athens.
Anyway, Blackburn had many good opportunities, but they were unable to score.
George watched Blackburn players waste opportunities again and again, and he was numb on the sidelines. Athens, a Greek team, I really hope I will never meet a Greek club again.
What kind of game is this?
In the end, Blackburn could only get a 0-0 at home again.
Luck? Really luck?
Blackburn has beaten countless top teams. But in this weak club that George didn't even look at, they actually tied Blackburn twice. This made George quite dissatisfied.
On the other side, Monaco defeated Eindhoven very easily.
Monaco defeated Eindhoven 2-1 at home.
In this way, the first qualifying spot for this group has been determined. Monaco locked the top spot in the group stage with 12 points. Blackburn has 8 points, Eindhoven has 6 points, and AEK Athens has 2 points.
The most frustrating thing is that AEK Athens' two points were actually obtained from Blackburn itself.
Now both Blackburn and PSV Eindhoven have the possibility of appearing. However, in the last match, Blackburn will play away against Monaco, while PSV Eindhoven will play at home against AEK Athens. Who will appear is what everyone is paying attention to.
…………
Blackburn, who was full of anger in the Champions League group stage, will play against the most powerful club in the Premier League as soon as they return to the league.
Which team was the best in the Premier League in the 2003-04 season?
Of course, it was Arsenal, who had been sleeping on straw and eating bitter food for many years.
Arsenal's current main lineup is very stable. Young people are growing up, including Ashley Cole, who has become a well-known left back in England and even in the world football. Eriksson is now confused.
Should Ashley Cole be the left back of the national team or Daniel Morrison?
Mexes, who transferred from Ligue 1, has also adapted to the Premier League. He has become the mainstay of Arsenal's defense. Beside Keown, he is becoming more and more mature.
Dalma on the left. Under Wenger's training, he has become the first choice for the left side of the French national team. He even squeezed out Pires of Blackburn.
In addition to these young people, those stars in their prime years are needless to say.
Henry, Vieira, Ljungberg, Gilberto, these people constitute the current main lineup of Arsenal.
And now even the substitutes of Arsenal are not weak. After four years of hard work, Wenger left a very outstanding lineup. On the bench, there are Edu, Toure, Wiltord, Senderos, Parlour, Almunia, and Kanu.
So the current Arsenal lineup is perfect.
This can be seen from their game results.
In the first fourteen rounds of the Premier League, Arsenal had ten wins and four draws, without a single defeat.
Chelsea won nine, drew two, and lost three in the first fourteen rounds.
Manchester United was in good shape in the fourteen rounds. Nine wins, one draw, and four losses.
It can be said that since the beginning of this season, the Premier League teams have all started very well. Among them, Arsenal is in the best shape.
Blackburn also started very well. In the fourteen rounds of the league, they achieved ten wins, one draw, and three losses. The gap between the four teams is also two points and three points.
George certainly knows how good Arsenal is this season. This season is the season when Arsenal won the championship without losing. Although George has robbed Campbell and Pires from Wenger.
But Wenger also completed the puzzle of Arsenal.
Wenger replaced Campbell with Mex and Pires with Dalma.
The current Arsenal has a balanced offense and defense, and the age structure is also very suitable.
Arsenal is strong in the league, but stumbles in the Champions League. Arsenal's start in the Champions League is even worse than Blackburn.
They achieved one draw and two losses in the first three games of the Champions League group stage. There is no hope of appearing, but because there are Inter Milan, Dynamo Kyiv and Lokomotiv Moscow in this group, it is not a big upset.
But Arsenal soon reacted.
In the fourth game, they defeated Dynamo Kyiv 1-0 at home. Then in the fifth game, they defeated Inter Milan 5-1. The situation of qualifying for the Champions League suddenly improved. As long as they won the last game, there would be no problem for Arsenal to appear.
On December 6, 2003, Blackburn challenged Arsenal away.
Highbury Stadium is indeed not worthy of the status of an English giant like Arsenal.
And for the huge number of Arsenal fans, Highbury Stadium is indeed too small. Not to mention the Highbury Stadium with 40,000 people, even the Emirates Stadium with 60,000 people in the future will be full.
"Arsenal, Arsenal's situation in the Champions League doesn't seem to be very good. If they lose in the last round, Arsenal will stumble in the group stage."
George greeted Wenger before the game. Then he talked to Wenger with a smile.
"George, my last game is against Lokomotiv Moscow at home. Blackburn seems to be going to play Monaco away? Tsk tsk tsk, Monaco is not a hard bone to chew. You have to be careful."
George laughed when he heard Wenger's words.
"The group stage has never been in my eyes."
Because five days after this game, it will be the last game of the Champions League group stage. But neither Arsenal nor Blackburn held back, but played with all their main players. That's why George teased Wenger.
"This is a strong dialogue between the Premier League. This season, the performance of the major Premier League teams in the opening stage is extremely outstanding. Now Arsenal and Blackburn have not confirmed the quota for the Champions League group stage, but the main players are still in the game."
"Arsenal's starting lineup is goalkeeper Lehmann, the back line is Ashley Cole, Keown, Mex, Lauren, the midfield is Dalma, Vieira, Gilberto, Ljungberg, and the forward line is Henry and Bergkamp."
"Blackburn's starting lineup is goalkeeper Van der Sar, the back line is Riise, Lucio, Campbell, Sagnol, the midfield is Pires, Alonso, Essien, Miku, Kaka, and the forward line is Klose."
