Coaching legend

"…It's Riise! Riise's shot!"

"GOOOOOOOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!" The commentator on the English side was very happy. "Riise, the young player who was introduced for 4.9 million pounds last summer. The 20-year-old Riise scored the most important goal in his career."

"2-1, Blackburn leads Valencia 2-1 away."

"Two away goals, these are the two away goals! Aww, two away goals have put Blackburn one foot into the Champions League semi-finals. Blackburn's situation is very good, and their chances of entering the Champions League semi-finals have greatly increased."

Don't say that the English commentator thinks so. Even many TV commentators who broadcast this game think so.

Even the Spanish commentator shook his head when he saw this goal. "After losing two goals at home, Blackburn has a two-goal away advantage. Valencia will have a hard time in the second round."

The moment George saw Riise score, he couldn't help but raise his hands high on the sidelines, and then waved his fist fiercely.

Like them, two goals away from home. George put all his worries aside. Damn, now Blackburn's road to the Champions League semi-finals is completely smooth.

"Evan, we are about to enter the Champions League semi-finals. Hahaha!"

George saw Evan who was equally excited and hit Evan hard.

"Yes, we are going to enter the Champions League semi-finals."

Blackburn players were also very excited. Now most of Blackburn players are playing in the Champions League for the first time. Except for Blanco, others have never experienced the Champions League before. Including Ligue 1 players such as Miku and Pires.

This season's first time playing in the Champions League, only one step away from the Champions League semi-finals.

They certainly understand how much the goal scored by Riise at the last moment will play in the Champions League semi-finals. Maybe it is because of this goal that Blackburn can enter the Champions League semi-finals.

In the second round, Valencia must at least score two goals at Ewood Park to turn the tables. Of course, the premise is that Blackburn cannot score.

Even experienced Valencia players are quite frustrated when they see the current situation. This ball was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, completely crushing the Valencia players.

Cooper wanted to equalize the score in the remaining ten minutes. Unfortunately, he failed. With the referee's whistle, the Champions League quarter-final ended. Blackburn defeated Valencia 2-1 away.

When the referee blew the whistle, George didn't care where he was.

He rushed into the stadium and cheered with the players. Then he led the players to thank the fans who came from afar. Seeing George's unbridled celebration, the Valencia fans who had not left the stadium booed.

However, George never paid attention to the boos of the opposing fans. He still celebrated with the players regardless. It was as if Blackburn had already entered the Champions League semi-finals.

Of course, it was not just George who thought so.

In the media analysis after the game, it was believed that Blackburn had no problem entering the Champions League semi-finals. Judging from this game, Blackburn is very strong. It is not weaker than Valencia at all, or in the face-to-face bayonet, it is not afraid of Valencia at all.

Facing Blackburn, who had two away goals, what could Valencia do to turn the tables?

George did not give the Spanish reporters any face after the game. Facing them, he said confidently: "I have already touched the door of the Champions League semi-finals."

If it was before, just like before the start of last season, George said loudly that his goal was to win the League Cup. At that time, I don't know how many media laughed at George, including the media in England, who thought George was crazy.

But now, George said that he had touched the door of the Champions League semi-finals. All reporters, including the Spanish media, did not think that George was bragging. Because after the game, Blackburn was indeed in a good situation.

When Blackburn returned to England, it became the darling of the media.

…………

Of course, it was not just Blackburn, the three teams in the Premier League were all the focus of everyone. This time, the advantage of the Premier League group was even more obvious.

The worst situation now is Manchester United. Manchester United is 0-1 behind Bayern at home, and it will be difficult to play at Bayern's home in the second round.

As for the other two clubs, Arsenal and Blackburn are currently in a very good situation for promotion. Blackburn, needless to say, defeated Valencia 2-1 away. It can be said that the road to promotion is smooth. As long as there are no mistakes at home, the game will definitely be won.

And Arsenal's promotion situation is even better than Blackburn.

Arsenal, who has repeatedly encountered strong teams, met Deportivo La Coruna in the quarter-finals. They are known as Super La Coruna, but after arriving at Highbury, they became a sick cat. Arsenal scored three goals in a row, and could only accept a 0-3 defeat away.

Although the second round will be played at Deportivo La Coruna's home court, the three-goal advantage has ensured that Arsenal can advance. It is not that there have been three goals behind in the history of the Champions League, and then they have come back. But those are miracles. It is almost a fantasy to want to come back in the second round after falling behind by three goals like this time.

Although Arsenal is a strong offensive team, it does not mean that Arsenal will not defend. Or in other words, once Arsenal plays a defensive counterattack with you, who can defend against Ljungberg and Henry. Especially Henry who is in hot form.

With Henry's speed, who can defend against him? It is estimated that there are very few defenders in the entire European football world who can defend against Henry.

The English media are very happy. There are three Premier League teams in the quarterfinals, and now there are two Premier League teams in the semifinals. What does this show? This is precisely the recovery and strength of the Premier League.

George has no interest in this discussion.

The strength of the Premier League has already shown signs. But what's the use?

The Premier League is strong. In the next ten years, it will gradually become the first league in Europe. But on the contrary, the strength of the English team has not improved at all. It is still nicknamed "the Chinese team in Europe" by Chinese fans. Every time it comes to a major competition, the results are extremely poor.

Now all George's thoughts are in the league.

There are only seven games left in the Premier League. And Blackburn's lead over Manchester United has reached eight points.

Although Blackburn's remaining opponents are very difficult to play. There are strong teams like Chelsea, Newcastle United, Aston Villa, and giants like Arsenal and Manchester United. But the eight-point advantage is an advantage, and many media still regard Blackburn as the first candidate for the league championship.

And the morale of Blackburn players is also greatly increased.

The away victory over Valencia has greatly increased the confidence of Blackburn players.

On April 11, Blackburn challenged Chelsea away.

Ranieri is really a good coach. Or Ranieri is the best coach to clean up the mess.

Chelsea, who was already exhausted by Vialli at the beginning of the season, even ranked near the relegation zone. But after Ranieri took office, he quickly led this Chelsea with many internal conflicts to climb to the current sixth place in the Premier League.

Chelsea now even has the hope of entering the League Cup.

George still admires such skills. It's a pity that Ranieri can only wander like this and be a fire-fighting coach.

But admiration is admiration, but we still have to fight.

Blackburn, in hot form, showed no mercy to Chelsea away from home. 2-1, defeated Chelsea away from home.

This is what George is thinking now. Win one game after another, who can break the eight-point advantage. Manchester United? Even if Ferguson is a monster, George is not afraid.

Three days later, on April 14, Blackburn played another away game.

Blackburn challenged Aston Villa away. Although George rotated many players, Blackburn's dominance did not end. With McAllister's pass, Bellamy, who performed well this season, killed Aston Villa.

Blackburn is in good form, and Manchester United is also in excellent form. First, they defeated Charlton 2-1, and then defeated Coventry 4-2.

However, Blackburn is still eight points ahead of Manchester United. There are only five rounds left in the Premier League, and the advantage of eight points in five rounds. In the eyes of many people, with Blackburn's current state, eight points is a gap that is simply insurmountable.

All media are paying attention to Blackburn this season.

Blackburn has already won two championships this season. First, it defeated the powerful Real Madrid at the beginning of the season and won the European Super Cup. Just a month ago, it defeated Liverpool and won the English League Cup.

And the probability of Blackburn entering the Champions League semi-finals is also very high. In the Premier League, it is eight points ahead of the second-placed Manchester United.

There is no better state than the current Blackburn in the Premier League, and there is no better situation than the current Blackburn. The entire Blackburn club is beaming with joy.

"What's up, John? I have achieved good results recently, and you have to give me some bonuses."

Seeing Williams come to the training ground, George, who was in a good mood, joked with Williams.

Williams rarely comes, or never comes to the training ground. If there is anything, he will call George. This is not that Williams does not value the team, but Williams thinks that the team is George's territory and is unwilling to interfere.

Williams did not smile, and his expression was very solemn.

"What's wrong, John." George also found out. So he said seriously. Because Williams is not like usual.

Williams sighed.

"George, Mr. York..."

Williams didn't finish his words, and George was shocked. Although Williams didn't finish his words, George already understood what was going on. Although his grades have been good during this period, George still didn't completely let go.

What George was worried about today finally happened.

"Really? When?"

"Last night."
