360 World Shock
Blackburn's away victory over Rome made Blackburn the focus team in this round of the Champions League.
In fact, this game is not the most focused dialogue in this round of the Champions League. The game in the other death group is the real focus battle. Every game they play is a focus. Because the four teams in their group are all strong European teams.
This round is no exception.
Leverkusen defeated A Coruña 3-1 at home and Arsenal beat Juventus 3-0 at home.
Such a game is the focus of the battle.
But after this round, Blackburn was the most concerned. Why?
Because of the second round of the group stage of the UEFA Champions League, there are two groups of death. Now the qualifying situation of the other death group is complicated. Don't look at the victory of Leverkusen and Arsenal in this round. But in the previous first game, Leverkusen and Arsenal were both the loser.
In this way, Leverkusen, La Coruña, Juventus and Arsenal all scored three points in their group. I can't tell who can appear at all.
The group stage on Blackburn's side is completely different.
Facing the powerful Barcelona and Rome, Blackburn won two games. It has already accumulated six points, and both Barcelona and Roma teams have only tied with Galatasaray. Therefore, the two teams only accumulated one point, even one point less than Galatasaray.
In the next game, Blackburn will face Galatasaray in the live scene.
Barcelona and Rome are going to fight against each other. As long as Blackburn defeats Galatasaray in the next game, he will basically get a qualifying place in advance. In the death group, Blackburn's performance is so good that he can't get the attention of the media.
George even said "Blackburn + X" about the qualifying situation of this group match after the game with Rome. It doesn't matter who X is. Although George is arrogant, the reporter can't say anything. After all, Blackburn's results are there now.
In addition to this game, a talented star like Kaka appeared.
Of course, it's not just Kaka, but also Cassano. Both of them are post-80s players, and they are not yet young players until they are 20 years old. But the performance has surpassed that of many peers.
............But after the game with Rome, George finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Because this year's Champions League is over. The restart of the UEFA Champions League will be at the end of February next year. And George has given up the League Cup early. So now George just needs to pay attention to the Premier League.
On December 9, Blackburn faced Leeds United in the Premier League.
Leeds United is very sad.
According to reason, these seasons are the most brilliant times for Leeds United. It was also the craziest time for the owner of Leeds United to invest. Unfortunately, because of the variable of George, Leeds United has not been brilliant at all, and now it is about to decline.
In fact, Leeds United is very strong.
However, I don't know if the current year is unfavorable. Every time you perform well, there will be some off-site factors.
Just like the 99-00 season, it is the best season for Leeds United to rise. At the beginning of the season, they have always been leading the standings, once leading Manchester United to double digits. But with the rise of the injury scandal between Woodgate and Bowyer in winter, the club's record was quickly affected.
In the end, I didn't even get a place in the Champions League.
But the owner of Leeds United doesn't believe it. He wanted to let the club enter the Champions League. The investment in these two seasons is getting bigger and bigger, but they have never been able to enter the Champions League. Without the rich income of the UEFA Champions League, Leeds United's finances is becoming more and more difficult.
There is a big problem with the financial status of Leeds United.
In history, Leeds United also had good results, which delayed the emergence of financial problems.
But now Leeds United is on the verge of bankruptcy. So in desperation, Leeds United sold Woodgate. And according to the news, the Leeds United Supermarket has opened its doors.
They may sell their players this winter or next summer to make up for the club's financial shortcomings.
So Leeds United's record this season is getting worse and worse. Now they are already ranked seventh in the Premier League.
After watching Kaka's performance in the last game, many people think that George will definitely start reusing Kaka in this game. But after the starting list came out, everyone was very surprised. Because George still didn't put Kaka in the starting list.
George activated veteran McAllister in the midfield.
McAllister has played less games this season. But once on the field, the performance is very good. George used the midfield combination of Mcalister and Hargreaves, while the front line used Drogba and Davao. Sooke.
Leeds United really doesn't have much fighting spirit now.
Maybe everyone doesn't know their future fate and is a little confused. At this time, it shows the immature side of a young team. If there is a boss who can control the dressing room, maybe Leeds United can still have some combat effectiveness. But now Leeds United does not have such a player.
In the face of Blackburn, who is almost a full substitute, Leeds United has not been able to win.
Blackburn defeated Leeds United 2-0 at home with the goals of Drogba and Bellamy.
Blackburn defeated Leeds United, and Arsenal also defeated its opponent. Even Liverpool, which George thought was going to collapse, defeated their opponents. Only Manchester United, which was in poor condition, was hit by a fish 1-0 at home by a fish like West Ham United.
With the end of this round, Manchester United is getting farther and farther away. The gap with Blackburn has reached a staggering 15 points. Even Newcastle in the back has caught up.
On December 15, Blackburn challenged Newcastle away.
Newcastle has performed well this season. Under the guidance of Coach Robson, it has gradually become an important force in the Premier League. But George is not afraid. What George is least afraid of is Robson, a coach with a continental style.
In this game, George did not let Kaka appear in the starting lineup.
The game process is very smooth. The first half was not over, and Blackburn was already two to one ahead of Newcastle. In the second half, George let Kaka play in a thousand calls, but unfortunately Kaka did not appear in the front waist position of Miku as others thought.
George still put Kaka in the position of Deko's tissue-shaped waist as before.
It's unexpected. Or they don't understand why George is so stubborn. Although it's just a game, many people think that Kaka's best position is in the middle of the waist. But it seems that George didn't take their thoughts into his heart.
However, Kaka himself is very calm now.
Although George didn't make it clear, Kaka had some understanding. So Kaka has no resistance to George's arrangement. In the midfield and backfield, Kaka can understand the situation on the court anytime and anywhere. You can see the loopholes of the other party.
During the game, Kaka suddenly plugged in.
This is definitely not arranged by George. Instead, Kaka found the other party's empty space and plugged it in. And the effect is very good. Kaka's explosive power and speed are his greatest talent. After he found some defensive loopholes, he suddenly plugged in. Whether he shoots or passes the ball, he can create a huge threat.
In the second half, it was still a pass after Kaka's sudden insertion, allowing Hleb to score the third goal of the game.
In the end, Blackburn defeated Newcastle 3-1 away.
At the end of the 17th round of the Premier League, George heard the best news. George has been waiting for Liverpool to collapse, and this round is lost. I was hit -4 to 0 by Chelsea on the road, and I almost lost my underwear.
Liverpool did not have any fighting spirit in the whole game.
The gap betweenand Blackburn has widened to six points.
And Arsenal, where George was most worried, also met Waterloo in this game. They were tied 3-1 by West Ham United on the road, so the gap with Blackburn has also reached eight points.
On December 19, Blackburn played a make-up match.
Blackburn faced Bolton.
This is the sixth round of the Premier League. Because there was a Champions League mission at that time, the game was postponed.
For the Kaka that many people expect, George is still on the bench. Many media are already immune. They want to see how a young genius can become a superstar, but George seems to be against them, just don't let Kaka start.
This is definitely not George deliberately pressing Kaka. But Kaka is different from any player. For Kaka, George is trained according to the core standards of the team. Therefore, George believes that the current Kaka can't be alone. He must slowly accumulate experience in order to truly grow into the core of a team.
Bolton, the team that has just been promoted.
The way to play is to fight fiercely, and there is no resistance to Blackburn. Blackburn easily defeated Bolton 2-0 at home.
All the clubs participating in the European competition, the sixth round of the competition has been postponed. They all made up games on the same day, and the sequelae of Hollior's admission to the main hospital have finally begun. Liverpool drew zero to zero with Fulham.
Arsenal lost to Newcastle comparison in the make-up match.
In this way, Blackburn's advantages have been further expanded.
At the end of the 17 rounds of the Premier League, Blackburn has already accumulated 40 points. He led Liverpool by eight points and led Arsenal by more than double digits, reaching 11 points. Everyone was surprised by Blackburn's strength and thought that there was no suspense about the Premier League champion this season.
It's just that many people have high expectations for Kaka, but it can't be amazing.
Many people think that after the game in Rome, Kaka will definitely become an important player under George. It's the same as Barack, Jonberry, and the current Blackburn's Deko. However, I didn't expect that Kaka would become more and more arrogant, and I couldn't see any development at all.
Once you become famous, the world will be shocked.
But Kaka has become famous all the time. Unfortunately, the world was shocked later, not because he performed well. But he was not as others expected, which was the most surprising thing for everyone.
