319 strong strength
George faced the players in the locker room and was in a good mood. We Blackburn have won three top league titles and six FA Cups. At the beginning of the English League, Blackburn was also England's strong team. In those years..."
The players below watched curiously watching George introduce Blackburn's history there.
Blackburn's history is really not too bad, or very shabby. But these histories are all 70 or 80 years ago. Even Blackburn's players themselves will not know unless they open the information.
In fact, as a club that has won three top league championships and six FA Cup titles, it is not impossible to blow the glory of its ancestors when it rises again.
But now is the League Cup final. The opponent is Liverpool, the first giant in England. Liverpool is now in the locker room to recall the past, to miss their glorious history of sweeping the European football world, and can also inspire their soldiers.
Now in the face of Liverpool, which has an extremely glorious history, George talks about Blackburn's history there, and he feels a little strange no matter how he looks at it.
George didn't have much interest in seeing his players, and then he stopped bragging. Bragging about Blackburn's little bit, and it has an ancient history, George didn't blush at all. We Blackburn have had such a glorious history, but we have never won a League Cup championship in half a century of League Cup history. I haven't even reached the final of the League Cup.
The players knew that George got to the point.
"Speaking of which, you are so lucky. Because you are the first players in Blackburn's history to reach the final of the League Cup. When decades later, when Blackburn fans are recalling the honors, you are the meritorious players for Blackburn to win the League Cup.
"Don't underestimate the low gold content of the League Cup champion. But when recalling history in the future, this game is a turning point in Blackburn's history.
"Many years later, fans asked Blackburn how he became a rich family? The media will comment that it was the beginning of defeating England's first giant Liverpool and winning the League Cup. That was the baton of a rich family. Blackburn defeated Liverpool and also took over the temperament of the English giants from Liverpool.
"And you are the first meritorious players of Blackburn to become a rich family."
Although George himself knows that this statement is false. Did Blackburn become a rich family? Even George doesn't believe it himself.
But in this atmosphere, after saying this, the whole Blackburn player was excited. To be honest, the players don't have much culture. If you have the same IQ as you, then you can't manage the locker room.
Sometimes you have to treat players like your own children. The paternalistic management method is still necessary in British football.
You have to let them know that there can only be one voice in the locker room. You just need to listen to this sound, and that's it. That's how George manages the locker room.
"Ky off Liverpool! If you want to become a rich family, you should kill the first rich family like Liverpool!" As soon as George's words fell, Saniol got up and shouted.
Saniol was excited. He is the captain and will definitely leave a strong mark in Blackburn's history. Of course, the first thing to do is to defeat Liverpool.
"Kle Liverpool!"
All the players shouted with Saniol.
George looked at the excited player and waved his hand. Go out and kill Liverpool! Tell Liverpool that they are just a depressed rich family!"
............This is the final of the League Cup, but there is no caution in the final.
Blackburn and Liverpool are well-known. The two teams meet twice in each of these three seasons. So neither team had any temptation. After the game began, they entered a real hand-to-hand battle.
The league results have not been good in the past few seasons, but Liverpool players do not have any inferiority complex.
Because although the results of these seasons are not good, Liverpool have performed extremely well against strong teams. That is to say, this season, there are not only away beat Manchester United, but also Arsenal 4-0 at home.
So in the face of Blackburn, Liverpool players don't care at all. Or it's not because of Blackburn's strong strength now. It's completely let go.
Of course, Liverpool plays differently from Blackburn.
Blackburn is a way of suppressing the opponent in the midfield and then tearing the defense with two sides. The side road is very important. At the same time, once the side pulls the opponent's defense away, Miku and Deko in the middle can pass a fatal direct pass.
Therefore, Blackburn's playing style needs to maintain a certain distance in the backfield, midfield and frontcourt, and the whole team needs to press forward.
But the current Liverpool style of play is a counterattack. There is Owen, a striker who can perfectly combine technology and speed in the front court, so once they fight back, there is basically no team that can defend. Under this style of play, Owen's strength is fully exerted.
Blackburn is a two-way attack. Liverpool's platoon is somewhat interesting this time, with Carragher on the left and Marcus on the right. Babel. None of them are professional full-backs. Therefore, George attacked the two sides, hoping to open a breakthrough.
In this game, Bellamy replaced Duff, but it was not George's surname arrangement. But before the game, Duff had a cold and was replaced by George.
Bellamy has definitely performed well this season. Especially after increasing the cooperation with the team, Bellamy's strength came out. Although it has not been able to replace Pires and Duff as the main force, it has started more than 15 times so far. With the addition of substitutes, there are only a few games less than the main players.
In this situation, Bellamy has scored seven goals and six assists for Blackburn. It can be said to be a sharp weapon in Blackburn's side road.
Once Liverpool gets the ball, it will also play two sides. But the two sides rarely attack like Blackburn, and then cross or go straight into the penalty area, but give it to Owen or Fowler in the middle. The lack of procrastination is to create an opportunity for Owen to fight back.
At the beginning of the game, Blackburn was aggressive.
made a fierce attack on Liverpool's hinterland. Liverpool is calm, but the counterattack is very resolute.
However, Blackburn broke through Liverpool's goal first and replaced Bellamy, who played instead of Duff, and passed Carragher with speed. Bellamy, like Owen, is a perverted player, even faster than Owen. Carragher, who plays the left-back position, can't stop Bellamy at all.
"...Berami, pass the ball, this is a back pass...Miku!"
Miku plugged in to catch the ball, and Henjoz came forward to defend. Miku led the ball to the right with his heel, and then tilted his upper body to the left. Henchoz followed Miku, thinking that Miku was going to break through to the left. When Henchoz shook it, Miku immediately returned to the right.
"Miku... He shook his upper body over Henjoz... Miku, shoot!"
When Henjoz was shaken, there was only a goalkeeper left in front of Miku. This shaking action is just a flash. Miku is getting simpler and simpler, but the effect is getting better and better.
Miku's shooting angle was very tricky, and he rolled in to the other side of Westwade's position.
"Westwade... This ball is a dead corner. Westwed can't do anything about it. One-to-one, Blackburn is already one-to-one lead in the League Cup final.
George sat on the bench and clapped his hands gently in the face of the goal. Miku is becoming more and more general. Miku's series of movements near the penalty area are cumbersome to say and do in the blink of an eye.
Miku doesn't have any extra action. Just in a flash, after a little angle, he shot the door very decisively.
Blackburn fans burst into huge cheers in an instant. Of course, with the cheers, there are also songs mocking Liverpool. These songs are obviously made up on the make-of-the-. Lala - Liverpool, you are the most powerful in England - Lala, when was your last championship?
Liverpool fans can only use boos to fight against the cheers of Blackburn fans.
And Blackburn's strong performance has just begun.
Blackburn is still playing against Liverpool.
"...Fowler, in the face of Panucci... was robbed by Panucci! Fowler is slow, and Panucci moves very fast!"
Panucci performed really well. Although it's on loan, because Blanco is old after all. In high-intensity games, Blanco's physical strength can't keep up. Therefore, Panucci has more opportunities to play. Panucci is worthy of being a world-class defender. After adapting to the Premier League, his performance in the back line is very stable.
Sometimes George really wants to buy Panucci.
In the 39th minute of the first half, it was Miku who got the ball. Harman did not dare to neglect this time and clung to Miku. Miku lowered his head to control the ball, which seemed to be forced by Harman to turn around. At this time, Smitchel also came over and was ready to grab the ball at the foot of Miku.
At this time, Miku suddenly passed the ball with a heel, and the ball passed through the middle of Harman and Smichel.
Deco got the ball, and Gerard on the right rushed over and prepared to defend Deco. But Deko did not entangle with Gerrard, but passed it to Pires on the left. After Pires got the ball, he faced Marcus. Babel suddenly made an inward cut, and then prepared to shoot.
The moment Haipia saw Pirenache, he came out to defend.
As a former teammate, Hai Pia is well aware of Pires's shooting power in this position.
"...Hae Pia... Pires didn't shoot, passed the ball... Klose!"
Pure made a shot, but did not shoot. It was a very light straight plug, and Klose received the ball.
"Clozes, shoot!"
After Klose got the ball, there was no other action. Just after turning around, he immediately shot with his left foot.
A series of movements are too fast. Westwed just made a move and couldn't stop the goal at all.
