Coaching legend

With ten minutes left in the game, Milan wanted to attack.

Unfortunately, they didn't have much physical strength to support their attack. On Pancaro's side, not only Pancaro. Even Seedorf was firmly restrained.

And Cafu was forced by Pires to not move forward boldly.

Although Milan's attack depends more on Pirlo and Rui Costa in the middle. Of course, Seedorf's role is also quite large. The role of the two wingers cannot be ignored at all.

Now the two wingers can't play, which means that the offensive threat is reduced by half.

And Rui Costa, although he occasionally has some flashes of inspiration. But facing Essien, the strong midfielder, he has no way to deal with it.

Rui Costa's current strength has really declined too much.

Facing Essien, who has good physical strength, a strong body, and a fierce foot, it is almost impossible to create any threat.

On the contrary, Blackburn's offense has been excellent.

George replaced Klose with Drogba. Although Klose did not score, he restrained Nesta. He has already completed his task perfectly.

Let Drogba play, George is to use Drogba's impact to impact Milan's defense line.

Sure enough, after Drogba came on the court, the pressure on Nesta and Maldini increased dramatically. Klose used his awareness and running to put pressure on them. Then Drogba is a tank, a completely head-on collision, making it difficult for them to deal with.

Because Drogba is so strong.

The game passed by minute by minute. Just one ball, one ball!

With just one ball, Milan can drag the game into overtime. But one ball at this time is so difficult.

Seeing Milan's offensive gradually coming up, George replaced Ribery, who performed well, with Parker. The defense really started.

When Ribery left the court, all the Blackburn fans stood up and applauded him. Because Ribery's performance today was really outstanding. Fans who didn't know Ribery before, after this game, all understood that Blackburn has another young genius.

"Please remember this young man. 21-year-old Frank Ribery. What is overnight fame? This is overnight fame. Ribery, you are famous! Really famous! Congratulations, young man. Your future is bright."

"Keep up your current performance, the door of the French national team is open to you. Work hard, young man!"

Motson praised Ribery with emotion.

Even George was standing on the sidelines to welcome Ribery off the court. Seeing Ribery coming, George reached out and patted Ribery.

"Well done, Frank. You proved with your performance that you are qualified to stay."

Although he had praised Ribery in the locker room during the halftime break. But George still felt it was not enough, because Ribery's performance was really outstanding. It is estimated that in another season, Ribery can really become the main player under his command.

At this time, Parker was replaced, and George's intention was already quite obvious. George just wanted to keep the current score.

The defense in the middle was increased, and Alonso, Parker, and Essien formed a defensive line in front of the defenders in the middle. Kaka and Pires were in front, waiting for the chance to counterattack.

Time passed quickly.

It was soon the stoppage time!

Blackburn fans kept singing songs to cheer for the team.

In the last minute of stoppage time, they even started counting down.

Van der Sar took the ball slowly, then let it go and adjusted it. He retreated far away, and when the referee was about to lose patience, he gently passed the ball to Lucio in front.

Van der Sar is very experienced.

Even if it was a waste of time, it was within the tolerance of the referee's yellow card.

Lucio took the ball, saw Shevchenko approaching, and passed it to Sun Jihai on the right. Then Seedorf pressed, and Sun Jihai kicked it out.

Just like this, more than 20 seconds of time had passed.

The fans on the court had already shouted 38.

Drogba got the ball. He directly knocked the ball back to Kaka in the middle. Kaka passed the ball to Pires on the left.

Pires is an old fox, and he is quite cunning even when playing football normally.

Not to mention the current situation.

Pires dribbled the ball all the way to the sideline, and then stopped there. He used his body to protect the ball and prevented Cafu from getting it. Pires used this method to delay the game.

With the shouts of fans over the field, Milan players also became anxious.

You are a technically excellent offensive player, but you don't think about how to attack. Instead, you protect the ball near the sideline, and it is difficult for defensive players to grab the ball.

Or Gattuso is straightforward. He didn't fight with Pires for the ball like Cafu did. Instead, he went straight over and bumped into him, knocking him out with the ball.

The referee's whistle sounded, indicating that it was a foul.

The shouts of fans continued.

Blackburn players were of course slower after getting a free kick. Alonso, who took the free kick, came to the ball slowly and fiddled with the ball. A series of actions wasted ten seconds.

Alonso seemed to be about to kick the free kick, but unexpectedly he passed it to Pires on the wing.

Pires used the same trick again.

Finally, even the good-tempered Pirlo couldn't help it. He stepped forward and tackled, knocking Pires down.

Time passed in this process of stopping and starting.

3,2,1

As the fans shouted, the referee blew the whistle to end the game.

The whole Ewood Park was filled with cheers.

"Congratulations to George and Blackburn. They beat Milan 2-0 at home and entered the Champions League semi-finals with a total score of 3-2. Since the 2000-01 season, Blackburn has been able to appear in the group stage every year. Twice in the quarter-finals, once in the Champions League, and this time in the Champions League semi-finals."

"In the past four years, Blackburn has the most stable record in the Champions League except for Real Madrid. Congratulations to George for entering the Champions League semi-finals. After George entered the knockout stage, he first eliminated Juventus and then Milan. On the road to promotion, the opponents were all quite strong."

"The score of another venue has also been reported. Porto tied Lyon 2-2 away. They entered the semi-finals with a total score of 4-2. Blackburn's opponent has become Porto."

"As long as they beat Porto, Blackburn will be able to enter the Champions League final."

Although Porto is now in a dark horse posture. But Mortensen is full of confidence that Blackburn will beat Porto and enter the Champions League final.

Yes, don't just look at Porto entering the Champions League semi-finals.

But in the eyes of many European football people, Porto is just lucky.

Compared with Blackburn, a strong team in the Champions League for several seasons, there is no comparison. In people's eyes, since they have eliminated Juventus and Milan, Porto is even more of a piece of cake.

George was also very excited. Celebrate with Blanco next to him.

The most embarrassed now is the Italian reporter.

They shouted quite loudly before the game. They all hoped that Milan could teach Blackburn a lesson. Let you look down on Italian football? Let you look down on Serie A?

But the result came out, and Milan was eliminated.

In the Champions League, Blackburn, except for not playing against Inter Milan, has ravaged other Serie A teams in turn. Blackburn's advantage over Serie A teams is too obvious. Thinking of George's unyielding character, many Italian reporters consciously stayed away from George.

Because they really didn't want to hear George criticize Italian football again.

Therefore, most Italian reporters surrounded Ancelotti this time.

However, even without the Italian reporters, there was still a huge number of reporters surrounding George. Not to mention the English reporters, there were also football reporters from various European countries surrounding George. Of course, reporters from China were also indispensable.

"Coach Levy, how do you feel about entering the Champions League semi-finals?"

A very conventional question.

George shrugged. "I am very happy with all the victories in the games."

"Coach Levy, Blackburn has now entered the Champions League semi-finals. What are your prospects for this season's Champions League?"

George looked at the reporter with a smile. It seemed like an ordinary question, but it was actually asked by a reporter who knew George's character very well.

"Champion!"

George gently uttered his thoughts.

"Oh——" Although many reporters had already thought of it, George couldn't say it himself, which still made many reporters excited.

In fact, it has come to this point. George will no longer hide his ambitions.

When he just entered the knockout stage, George was a little low-key. He didn't publicly shout the championship slogan just to reduce the burden on the players and the hostility of other European powers. But now, if you don't shout it out, then you will weaken your momentum.

George looked at the excited reporters and raised his hand. The reporters cooperated with George very well, and they all stopped talking and looked at George.

"Champion, Champions League champion. I am determined to win. We Blackburn will definitely win the Champions League this season. No one can stop us, Juventus, Milan, and Porto!"

George's words showed strong self-confidence.

The reporters surrounding George were very excited. It seems that there is something to write about this issue.

But they did not question George. Because George is now qualified to show such a strong appearance. Who makes Blackburn's opponent in the knockout round the strongest. Juventus and Milan are recognized as strong teams in Europe.

But so what.

Being eliminated by Blackburn one after another.

George is qualified to be so confident.

"Okay, gentlemen reporters. When we win the Champions League, you can interview freely. At that time, I will never let the players impose any restrictions."
