Coaching legend

"Final! Final! Final!"

From the beginning of the game, all the fans at Ewood Park shouted this word loudly. They had no idea in their minds, only one thing. That is, they want to enter the Champions League final.

George is even more shameless.

The frontcourt of this game is completely the most sharp counterattack players. Bellamy is on the left, Duff is on the right, Kaka is in the middle, and Anelka is the striker. These people are fast and the best counterattack players.

In the midfield defense, Deco and Hargreaves are placed.

George told Ferguson clearly. I just play defensive counterattacks, and it is a blatant defensive counterattack.

But even if Ferguson knew it, what could he do. Trailing three goals behind Manchester United, this pressure is on Manchester United, how can Manchester United stabilize. If they want to advance, they can only attack Blackburn at Ewood Park.

But Blackburn is not a weak team now.

Blackburn is the champion team that has won the Premier League championship for two consecutive years. This kind of team plays defensive counterattacks with you, and all the counterattack masters are placed in the frontcourt. How can Manchester United play this?

Manchester United did want to attack the opponent at the beginning.

But at the 17th minute of the first half, Anelka received a pass from Kaka and scored the first goal of the game. This completely ended the suspense of the game. Because unless Manchester United scored four goals against Blackburn and did not allow Blackburn to score, they could advance to the final.

"Four to zero, Manchester United has no chance. Manchester United can't advance."

"Blackburn, he is about to enter the Champions League final. This is the first time Blackburn has entered the Champions League final in its 100-year history."

Martin Taylor explained with a wry smile.

In fact, after the first game, everyone knew that Manchester United would have no chance. But now they are one goal behind, and Manchester United has no chance at all.

And Blackburn fans continued to shout "Final! Final! Final!".

"Seeing Blackburn, I suddenly remembered Nottingham Forest back then."

"Huh?" Martin Taylor looked back at Andy Gray. As the best football commentator in England, Martin Taylor's most powerful skill is to understand all the history of English football. And he knows all the players in English football.

For example, for some promoted teams, many commentators have to look up the information to know the players in the promoted teams.

But as soon as Martin Taylor starts to comment, he will introduce the promoted teams to everyone. Because Martin Taylor will know the team to be commented before the commentary. Even the promoted team will not be spared.

It is because of such dedication that he can become the best commentator in English football and even in the world football.

So when Andy Gray just mentioned it, Martin Taylor understood what he meant.

"Clough's Nottingham Forest?"

Andy Gray nodded.

"Back then, English football was dominated by Liverpool, and European football was also dominated by Liverpool. Nottingham Forest came to League One from League Two and broke Liverpool's dominance. Not only did they win the League One championship, but they also won the Champions League twice in a row."

"Although George's Blackburn is not as amazing as Clough. But Blackburn is also a new force in English football, but his momentum is very strong, just like Nottingham Forest back then. In European football and the Champions League, Blackburn is here."

Andy Gray expressed his thoughts.

Martin Taylor pondered for a while. "Yes, Blackburn's momentum is the same as Nottingham Forest's. And I think Blackburn's momentum is stronger than Nottingham Forest's. It has been the Premier League champion for two consecutive terms. As long as there is a breakthrough in the Champions League, with the strength of the current group of players, it is unknown what kind of results can be achieved."

"But now that you say that, Coach Clough and George are quite similar. Haha."

The two laughed as they talked.

Because Clough, like George, is a person who emphasizes the authority of the head coach. And he is also a head coach with a weird personality.

The two of them were chatting there because the situation on the field was very delicate. Manchester United had already lost their fighting spirit, because four to zero was an insurmountable gap. Even a strong team like Manchester United had already lost their fighting spirit under such a huge score difference.

The game was very dull.

Or there was no passion. Blackburn players now wanted the game to end quickly and then celebrate. Manchester United players hoped that the game would end quickly so that they could return to Manchester early and not stay here any longer.

In such a mood, it would be strange if the game was good.

Ferguson had no expression since the beginning of the game. He sat in his seat chewing Bubble Hall and watched the game quietly.

"Evan, who do you think will be our opponent in the final?"

George was very comfortable on the field. So he smiled and asked Evan next to him. Evan was also very relaxed, and the game was completely suspenseful. With a four-goal advantage, who in the world can make it back?

Evan pouted. "Is there any need to consider this? It must be Real Madrid. Arsenal has no chance of winning against Real Madrid. And in the first game, Arsenal lost to Real Madrid at home. The opponent in the final must be Real Madrid."

Evan said with certainty.

George nodded. It should be Real Madrid, definitely Real Madrid. Zidane's flying fairy was created in this season's Champions League final.

Arsenal is very strong, but unfortunately they are not good enough against Real Madrid.

Real Madrid is a team full of real superstars. No other club in the world can compare with Real Madrid in this respect. Zidane, Figo, Raul, Carlos, Hierro, they are all shining.

Everyone was relaxed in this game.

Blackburn was relaxed because they won. Manchester United had no hope of advancing, so it was also relaxed. The referee was even more relaxed. The players on both sides did not make any excessive moves, and the game was played at a slow pace.

And the referee was also very considerate.

He just waited there, and when the game was over, he didn't even give a second of extra time. He blew the whistle to end the game directly.

"Four to zero, a score of four to zero in two rounds. Blackburn entered the Champions League final for the first time in history. Blackburn is in excellent form this season. It has been leading the Premier League since the beginning of the season and won the Premier League championship three rounds in advance. Now it has entered the Champions League final again."

"Congratulations to Blackburn, congratulations to George."

After the game, Ewood Park was completely crazy. Blackburn fans prepared various celebration ceremonies early, and as soon as the whistle of the end of the game sounded, they began to celebrate wildly.

"George, congratulations."

It seems that Ferguson has adjusted his mentality during this period. In the last game, Ferguson did not even attend the post-match press conference.

"Thank you. Your team lost to the Champions League champion team this season, so there is no need to be so discouraged."

Ferguson didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard this.

George is really too unkind. He won the game and still said such sarcastic words. But I have dealt with George many times, so I know George's character. So I can only smile bitterly. "George, you... But don't brag. The Champions League is not something you can win just by talking about it."

"Definitely, definitely. Apart from Blackburn, I really can't think of anyone else who is qualified to win the Champions League."

Looking at George who was bragging, Ferguson shook his head.

Ferguson adjusted his state, but didn't talk much to George. He also had to comfort his players.

There were many reporters, as if Blackburn had already won the championship. Facing so many reporters, George said in high spirits: "We have arrived at Hampden Park first. I will wait for the opponent in the final there."

Watching George being interviewed, the Blackburn fans at Ewood Park shouted even more. "George, we want the championship. We want the Champions League!"

Hearing their shouts, George waved at them.

This got them even louder cheers.

…………

On May 1, the Champions League semi-final between Blackburn and Manchester United ended.

The next day, it was the match between Real Madrid and Arsenal. In the first match of the Champions League semi-final, Real Madrid defeated Arsenal 2-1 at Highbury.

Real Madrid is the most popular team in the Champions League this season.

In addition, the first game was a 2-1 victory over Arsenal, so many people think it is easy for Real Madrid to appear.

But the game is not as easy as everyone imagined.

After the game started, Real Madrid took the lead and led Arsenal by 1-0. In the eyes of Real Madrid, the game has been completely won. Arsenal, go wherever you want to play.

But I didn't expect that Arsenal, who lost the Premier League championship, was completely crazy.

At the Bernabeu Stadium, facing the proud Real Madrid, they launched offensives again and again. And Arsenal's offensive was very effective, making Real Madrid's defense line in a state of panic. Arsenal even had several single-handed goals.

And just after the start of the second half, Henry scored a goal for Arsenal.

This goal gave Arsenal a glimmer of hope. Therefore, Arsenal's attack was more fierce, and almost made Real Madrid embarrassed at the Bernabeu. Fortunately, goalkeeper Casillas performed well and saved at least four must-goal opportunities.

Real Madrid was in a very embarrassing situation and barely managed to maintain a 1:1 draw. It can be said that this game made Real Madrid lose face.

Real Madrid finally defeated Arsenal 3:2 in two rounds. But the second round was really dangerous. It was almost a mistake.

But no matter what, the game is over.

The opponents of this season's Champions League final have appeared. One is the world's top giant Real Madrid, and the other is Blackburn, a country boy team from the countryside of England.

One is the world's top giant with eight big ear cups, and the other is a rising star who has just won two consecutive Premier League titles. Who will win the final championship, everyone is looking forward to it.
