228 Trouble after good results

Losing to Manchester United did not hurt Blackburn's self-confidence at all. In the game between strong teams, the victory or defeat is normal.

Blackburn, who came on as a substitute, easily defeated the guerrillas in the first round of the UEFA Cup and the guerrillas and entered the second round of the Confederacy Cup.

Five days later, Blackburn played Derby County at home.

Derby County's performance last season was absolutely amazing. The final ranking in the ninth place in the Premier League completely subverted the predictions of those experts before the season. In fact, not only last season, but also last season, many expert media have predicted that Derby County will soon return to League One.

But Derby County first played well last season, ranking twelfth in the Premier League, slapping those football commentators in the face. Last season was even better, ranking ninth in the Premier League.

But by this season, they have not been able to continue their performance. In the previous nine rounds, he won two, drew two and lost five, scoring only eight points.

George will never let go of this level of opponent.

Of course, many media are not only aimed at the game itself, but also want to see who George chooses to be Saniol's substitute. In their hearts, Sun Jihai has been excluded from the main lineup, because Sun Jihai has played in the last UEFA Cup.

But they were still very surprised when the big list came out. Because in George's starting list, Sun Jihai is on the list. Everyone understood that Sanior's replacement player, George, chose Sun Jihai.

Sun Jihai was not tested in this game. Blackburn was very strong at home.

The goals scored by Piret, Duff and Van Bronckhorst made it very easy for Blackburn to win the game with a score of 3-0.

After finishing the tenth round of the Premier League, Blackburn ushered in the most intensive schedule.

On October 14, Blackburn hit the League Cup for the first time this season. Because Blackburn is the fourth place in the Premier League and participates in the UEFA Cup. Therefore, you can directly participate in the third round of the League Cup without participating in the first and second rounds of the League Cup.

In the third round of the League Cup, Blackburn played against Norwich at home.

This is a League One team, because it just finished the Premier League three days ago. So George put a lot of young players on the field. Even some players from the reserve team are on the field. Let Parker, Drogba and others play the main role. It's not that Blackburn's players are not thick enough, but that George didn't think about achieving anything in the League Cup.

This player is composed mostly of youth teams and reserves, although they work very hard. But in the end, the score was 1-0, losing to League One team Norwich.

But George didn't have time to think about this game at all, because Blackburn went on a two-day expedition to Lechette to challenge Leicester City.

Unlike Derbyshire, Leicester City has achieved excellent results in these seasons. It has always been the midstream team of the Premier League, all of which are in the seventh, eighth and ninth of the Premier League. Although the team is strong, George did not send all the main lineup.

is a semi-main and semi-substitute lineup. Deko, Pires and Klose, who had better physical strength, all appeared, while Miku and Duff sat on the bench. However, Blackburn's substitutes are not weak, including Hargreaves, Bellamy and Gala.

Leicester City is not weak, but Blackburn, who has been in good shape recently in the Premier League, still defeated Leicester City 2-1 away with the goals of Bellamy and Cloze.

Especially after Klose scored, even the commentator sighed.

"Miro. Klose, this is his ninth goal for Blackburn this season and his eighth goal in the Premier League. He has tied the number of goals in the whole season of last season. The young man George brought from Germany for free four years ago has now become the best striker in the Premier League.

"Now let's take a look at the characteristics of Klose. Klose's best thing is his amazing header ability. Of the nine goals this season, five were scored by Klose. Klose is not very high, but Klose's bouncing ability, waist and abdominal strength, air control ability, and judgment of the high ball landing point are definitely the top in the world of football.

"In addition to the header, many of Klose's other goals were offside. Among them, we can see that Klose's explosive power and speed, although not the world's top, is also quite powerful.

"But the most powerful thing about Klose is that he can perfectly integrate into George's tactics. After retreating, the ball is very easy to take and pass the ball, and it can perfectly fit with the two sides.

"Of course, Klose still has shortcomings. The biggest disadvantage is that the technology underfoot is still a little rough. The shot in the penalty area is not particularly decisive, which is a shortcoming that restricts Klose from becoming a world-class striker. But I believe that Klose will gradually change this problem. Klose's future is worth looking forward to.

Klose's excellent performance was admired by all British football.

Five days after defeating Leicester City, Blackburn played against his opponent in the second round of the UEFA Cup at home.

At the end of the second round of the League Cup, Blackburn will be preparing for the twelfth round of the Premier League in two days.

The intensive competition almost made George collapse, but the good thing is that Blackburn is not Blackburn last season. Last season, Blackburn's substitute lineup was too poor to support the two-line battle. But now Blackburn's substitute strength has greatly increased, and George is not afraid of two-line combat.

At present, Blackburn's points in the Premier League are very good. After losing to Manchester United, Blackburn immediately ushered in a two-game winning streak. Manchester United is one win and one loss, so Blackburn is still one game less, three points behind Manchester United.

Blackburn is still biting Manchester United and an important contender for the Premier League championship.

As George said before the season, George's goal this season is the League Cup. After entering the League Cup, George was unwilling to give up the League Cup.

Therefore, George attaches great importance to the League Cup. The opponent of the second round of the Blackburn League Cup is Lokomotiv Moscow from Russia. The Moscow Locomotive may still be a strong force in Russia, but its strength in Europe is average.

Compared with another team in Moscow, Spartak Moscow, the strength of the locomotive is much worse. In addition, ten years ago, with the collapse of the Soviet Union and the decline of the Russian economy, the Russian team has become more dominant.

Although the results of Lokomotiv Moscow in the past two years have been good, they have reached the semi-finals of the Winners' Cup last season and last season.

But George didn't take the Moscow locomotive in his heart.

In the second round of the League Cup, Blackburn fans are more enthusiastic. In the last UEFA Cup home game, Blackburn was already locked in the victory. The fans just came here to watch the European game.

But this game is different. This is the first game in the second round of the UEFA Cup. This is a suspenseful game, so the fans are more enthusiastic.

The fans are very enthusiastic, and the state of Blackburn players is even more horrible. At home, Blackburn was in a hot state and played four goals for Lokomotiv Moscow. Klose, who was in a good state in the Premier League, did not score in this game, but had three assists and completed a beautiful assist hat-trick.

As a midfielder, Miku has scored six goals in Blackburn. In the Blackburn team, the goal ranked second. Miku's scoring rate is even the same as that of a striker. Of course, this has a lot to do with the 4-2-3-1 specially created by George.

Under this formation, the assist of Klose, the striker, is rising in a straight line. On the contrary, Miku's front waist has scored more goals.

He defeated Lokomotiv Moscow 4-0 at home. Even Mortson, who explained the game, laughed.

"There is no doubt that Blackburn has entered the top 32 of the UEFA Cup. The Moscow Lokomotiv did not have any offensive in front of Blackburn. If Blackburn hadn't recovered a little later, it would have been possible to play five or six balls.

"The first time George led the team to play the League Cup, he was able to enter the top 32 of the League Cup so easily, and his results were very good."

George said that Blackburn's goal this season is to win the League Cup, and now there are just ten games left to win the League Cup. Let's wait and see where Blackburn can go.

Although the League Cup has been eliminated, no one cares about that. Because it is obvious that George does not pay attention to the League Cup at all. With the Premier League and the League Cup, the weight of the League Cup has suddenly decreased a lot. At present, Blackburn has entered the top 32 of the League Cup with one foot, and ranks second in the Premier League. Good grades.

With the recent hot state, although it has just finished the second round of the UEFA Cup. But two days after Blackburn, he still defeated Liverpool 2-0 at home.

Liverpool has achieved very well this season. After Horrre's purge and reconstruction, Liverpool's performance has risen a lot. It's just that there is still a big problem with the defense line. When I met Blackburn, who was in good condition recently, I was hit t-2 by Blackburn.

More importantly, in this round, Manchester United were beaten three to one by Tottenham Hotspur.

This time, Blackburn actually played one less game, but the points have already equaled Manchester United. He even ranked first in the Premier League with the advantage of goal difference. After seven rounds, Blackburn returned to the top of the Premier League.

Blackburn's excellent results at this stage made George proud and smile all day long. Even in the face of those fans who make things difficult for themselves, it is a kind answer.

"Hello, Coach Levy."

But the good mood disappeared with the arrival of Kennedy. Kennedy looked at George with a smile, and then said it slowly.

"Coach Levy, on behalf of Damien, I want to talk about his contract."
