Coaching legend
Chapter 473: Stepping on Mourinho to reach the final (Part 1)
When shaking hands with George, Mourinho had a gloomy face.
Mourinho was indeed unconvinced.
But there was no way, this was reality. George was the head coach of Blackburn, and he was the head coach of Porto.
Mourinho's mouth twitched.
Mourinho was a madman. But he was more of a self-aware person. He knew that it was almost impossible for Porto to beat Blackburn with a two-goal advantage away from home. Porto had been eliminated 90% of the time.
George Levy!
Looking at George's smiling face, the arrogant Mourinho did not admit defeat at all.
What was George's ability?
It was just relying on his good players.
Thinking of this, Mourinho wanted to continue fighting with George. Now Mourinho has a lot of invitations in his hands. There are La Liga, Serie A, Premier League, Bundesliga, and the teams that can invite Mourinho are all strong teams from various countries.
Even if they are not giants, they are either traditional teams that are preparing to rise again or emerging teams that want to squeeze into the ranks of giants.
Mourinho looked at George celebrating with Blackburn players, and his heart unconsciously leaned towards the Premier League. Only in the Premier League can he have enough opportunities to fight George.
But George at this time has no time to care about Mourinho.
2-0, 2-0 away.
Where can there be a better result than this. With an away advantage of two goals, not to mention Porto, even if all the giants in Europe are added together, they dare not say that they can make a comeback at Blackburn's home court.
Porto?
George seemed to have seen himself appearing on the stage of the Champions League final for the second time.
And all Blackburn players felt the same way.
2-0, these players are very excited.
Since winning the Champions League once, this has always been Blackburn's pride. Now Blackburn is about to enter the Champions League final for the second time. How can they not be excited.
At the Dragon Stadium, three thousand Blackburn fans sang and danced.
Celebrate with Blackburn players.
…………
How big is the impact of Blackburn's 2-0 victory over Porto?
When Blackburn's plane arrived in England, the airport was already filled with welcoming fans and reporters who came to greet Blackburn.
Needless to say, the fans.
The current situation is so obvious that Blackburn fans will of course come to cheer with the team. 2-0 away, everyone has the same idea. How can Blackburn fans not be excited to be able to enter the Champions League final again.
There are thousands of Blackburn fans who came to pick up the plane today.
And it is obvious that they all drove their own cars.
They just want to return to Blackburn with the team.
And the number of reporters is not small at all.
Although they are not champions, being able to enter the Champions League final is enough for these reporters to come and brag. Of course, if they lose in the final, their tone will change immediately.
Of course, there is another reason.
In the Champions League semi-final played the day before, Arsenal, who also played away and had high hopes, disappointed everyone.
Arsenal's arrival in Monaco is actually their home ground.
There are many French players in the Arsenal team. Henry even came from Monaco. Vieira, Dalma, Mexes, and Wiltord are all French players. But when they arrived at their home ground, they didn't know if they were homesick.
As the most popular club in European football this season, Arsenal performed very poorly in Monaco.
They were beaten 3-1 by Monaco.
Although there was an away goal, Arsenal really disappointed the English football world. Not only the English football world, but also many European football commentators were shocked. Many people criticized Arsenal for losing the face of the Premier League champion in Monaco.
Compared with Arsenal, Blackburn made the English football world quite satisfied.
Hearing the score from Arsenal, even George was a little surprised. Arsenal's performance this season is very good. Look at how they are killing it in the Premier League. Manchester United, Blackburn, Chelsea, and Liverpool can only admit defeat.
And Arsenal's strength is really outstanding.
How could they be beaten by Monaco with three goals? Monaco is just a dark horse in this season's Champions League.
In this game, Giuly of Monaco actually scored two goals in a row.
Lauren, who performed well in the Premier League, was repeatedly broken through by Monaco in this game. Giuly and Rothen both regarded Lauren's side as the biggest breakthrough point. Lauren was even more confused by Giuly and Rothen's breakthrough.
Giuly also broke through from his side and scored two goals in a row.
George thought about it and thought that maybe Wenger really had no luck in European games.
This season is the best season for Wenger's Arsenal. But it seems that it is still difficult to get past Monaco.
However, although George was surprised, he was very happy in his heart.
Compared with Arsenal, Monaco is of course easier to deal with.
"Coach Levi, what do you think about the final?"
"Coach Levi, do you have anything to say about Arsenal's loss?"
"Coach Levi, you replaced Kaka in the midfield. Are you dissatisfied with his performance?"
"Coach Levi..."
"Coach Levi..."
When George led the Blackburn players out of the airport, a group of reporters had already begun to surround George.
They all asked George questions all at once.
George raised his hand to calm them down.
"Don't be anxious. Ask questions slowly, one by one. Otherwise, I don't know which question to answer." George is in a good mood now. How can he not be happy after defeating Porto, the biggest dark horse of this season, 2-0.
Once he was happy, George was also very friendly to these reporters.
"Final? I am now thinking about how to play the second game, not the final. I will think about the final after I win the second game. You ask me questions like this, as if I despise Porto. We must respect our opponents. Porto is an opponent worthy of respect."
George was rarely humble.
But the reporters below all curled their lips. Before the game, you looked down on Porto at all, but now that you have won, you are so hypocritical here.
"As for Arsenal's loss, I think it was just a momentary mistake. With Arsenal's strength, they will definitely be able to make a comeback at home. Monaco, how could they be Arsenal's opponent? Even if they beat Arsenal, Monaco was just lucky. Monaco? Tsk tsk tsk..."
George shook his head.
In fact, George already felt that it would be difficult for Arsenal to eliminate Monaco. George had already regarded Monaco as the opponent in the final, so he was targeting Monaco from now on.
When the reporters heard George's words, they were all stunned.
George was so shameless. Just now he said that he should respect his opponent and Porto. Now he turned around and immediately belittled another team.
"As for Ricardo, he has not yet reached the Ricardo in my mind. He still has a lot to learn. John is his best teacher. He needs to learn more from John and Robert. I replaced him because I wanted him to watch how John and others play football."
"Ricardo has great potential. His future is not something I can describe. Maybe in the future, he will be the best player in the world."
George praised Kaka in front of reporters.
Of course, reporters had a lot of questions.
But George, who was in a good mood, answered almost every question. Then he left the airport and returned to Blackburn.
…………
There are two Premier League games between the end of the first game of the Champions League semi-final and the second game.
It's just that George has no idea about the current Premier League. Liverpool, the fifth in the Premier League, is 14 points behind Manchester United, the fourth in the Premier League. It is 18 points less than Blackburn.
So Blackburn's top four position is safe.
And Chelsea, the second in the Premier League, now has no Champions League mission. Blackburn has some problems catching up with him.
George would not waste his energy in the Premier League for meaningless rankings. Therefore, although he was unwilling, he did not think about working hard in the league to surpass Chelsea.
In the 34th round of the Premier League, Blackburn faced Everton away.
Although George would not waste his energy in the Premier League, it does not mean that he has completely given up the Premier League game. Therefore, Blackburn still defeated Everton 1-0 in this game.
In the 35th round of the Premier League, Blackburn challenged Manchester United away.
Since Ferguson's Manchester United was eliminated from the Champions League, it has been catching up in the Premier League. From falling behind Blackburn by nearly double digits to now catching up to a gap of only four points, it is already very good.
George did not take this game very seriously.
Because it will soon be the second game of the Champions League semi-finals. Although leading by two goals, George did not want to lose Jingzhou carelessly. Therefore, facing Manchester United, he still used a lot of substitutes.
Ferguson did not miss such an opportunity.
Played Blackburn 2-1 at home.
Blackburn has one win and one loss in two games.
Of course, during this period, the biggest news in the Premier League is that Arsenal won the Premier League championship. Arsenal defeated Tottenham Hotspur 3-2 away in the 34th round of the Premier League. Won the Premier League championship four rounds in advance.
So far, in the 34th round of the game, Arsenal has 24 wins, 9 draws and 1 loss, and has won 81 points.
Although Arsenal seems to be about to be eliminated by Monaco in the Champions League semi-finals, Arsenal's winning of the Premier League championship has been widely recognized. Because Arsenal is too strong this season.
Everyone is discussing whether Arsenal will continue this season's performance.
Because Arsenal's current age structure is very suitable. Even the defense line that has been criticized has been updated. The rise of Toure this season has finally allowed Arsenal to complete the new back puzzle.
The combination of Ashley Cole, Mex, Toure, and Lauren completely eliminated the five old defenders of the year.
The current lineup is really perfect. Judging from the performance this season, Arsenal's strength may continue for several seasons. This is what the media is keen to discuss.
