225 bad game
After defeating Arsenal, Blackburn immediately became the most concerned team in British football.
Blackburn's hot state is that only Manchester United can compare with it. Seven games, five wins and two draws, ranking second in the Premier League. Only three points behind Manchester United in one less game.
And who is the best striker at present? There is no doubt that it is Blackburn's striker Klose. Klose started with a hat-trick in the third round and scored in all the next four games. That is to say, in the six league games and one League Cup match, Klose has scored in six games. Only the second round of the league did not score.
Klose has scored seven goals in the Premier League and one goal in the League Cup. He has scored eight goals this season.
As the two hottest teams, the game between Blackburn and Manchester United in the ninth round of the Premier League has also attracted widespread attention.
The title of most media is one: "The top battle!"
This is a veritable top battle, if Manchester United defeats Blackburn. Then Manchester United will completely consolidate their top position. If Blackburn defeats Manchester United, then Blackburn will play one less game and equal Manchester United with points.
Of course, if it is tied, then there will be no other changes between the two teams.
There are also people paying attention to the battle for the best shooter. At present, Klose's seven goals are ranked first, followed by Manchester United's Black Wind Double York and Cole.
In fact, a striker was born this season in history, scoring 30 goals in Sunderland, becoming the golden boot of this season. That man is Kevin who is now in Burnley. Phillips.
George is a little sorry for Kevin. Phillips's. Although Phillips has never been in the ranks of top strikers, it is the most dazzling moment for Phillips in the 99-00 season. He scored 30 goals in Sunderland in a season.
However, after being introduced to Phillips by George early, he has never become the real main force in Burnley. While George was there, although Phillips' goal efficiency far exceeded Klose, George has been reusing Klose.
When Phillips became Burnley's main force, Burnley's strength declined a lot. In Burnley now, it's ridiculous to score 30 goals. Whether the Burnley team can score 30 goals in a season is a big problem.
Without George's interference, Phillips would have been able to enjoy a season.
But at this time, George was just a little guilty, and then immediately left this idea behind him. What I'm thinking about now is the game against Manchester United.
............
On September 25, the weather is not very good. It has been raining since morning, although the drainage system at Old Trafford is very good. But this kind of rainy day still has a considerable impact on Blackburn's playing style.
After last season, Blackburn players have actually adapted to the weather in England. In this kind of English weather, I have also played a lot of games. So although it can be said that I am used to this kind of weather. But Blackburn's style of play is more focused on short passes in the midfield.
So when it rains, it still has a lot of impact.
This is why George hates this rainy weather. But God's business is not within George's control.
Blackburn has been in an amazing state recently, and George is also full of confidence. Manchester United, if they defeat Manchester United at Old Trafford, it is not impossible to win the Premier League this season. George began to think about how to get the game.
Before the game, people said that this game was the top battle. This game suddenly made me feel like I was back in 1995, when Blackburn and Manchester United were competing for the championship. In the end, Blackburn won the Premier League championship by one point. Mortson looked at the 80,000 fans of Old Trafford and sighed.
"Yes, four years of reincarnation. Blackburn finally found a suitable head coach for them and had a chance to compete with Manchester United for the championship. But now the league has only passed eight rounds. Isn't it too early for us to say that? Alan. Hansen said with a smile.
"No, no, no, even if Blackburn can't win the championship this season, he must be an important contender for the championship." Mortson shook his head. Look at Blackburn's opponents in the first seven games, including the top teams like Leeds United and Arsenal. Blackburn defeated them almost without any suspense. This shows that Blackburn is already very strong this year.
It may be that they defeated Arsenal 3-1 in the last game, making Blackburn's players full of confidence. Unexpectedly, he beat Manchester United at Old Trafford.
But George is proud! Blackburn players are proud!
They all forgot where to play now and who their opponents are? This is Old Trafford, facing the Premier League overlord Manchester United.
Ferguson is a tough-tempered coach, and Manchester United is not a team that is willing to pretend to be a grandson. As the hegemon of the Premier League, they have their face. If you force them to be stronger, now Blackburn has come up, and Manchester United also responded to Blackburn hard.
Keane is in the back and performs strongly. Facing Miku, his feet are very fierce. In addition, because it's a rainy day, I can't see it. Miku was put down by Keane several times, and George complained to the fourth referee in the rain on the sidelines.
In George's opinion, Keane should have been given a red card long ago.
"Coach Levy, please calm down." The fourth referee knew George very well, so he didn't get angry. He was very patient to tell George that Keane's action was very measured, and there was absolutely no action to win the card.
"Shit." George curled his lips. Look, he is completely aimed at people. This is also not a card. Will he be the referee?
"Coach Levy, please pay attention. I will write your words in the report. Seeing that George was still unforgiving, the fourth referee warned George with a straight face.
George shrugged his shoulders and left the fourth referee. In fact, George didn't think that Keane got a red card, but he didn't get a yellow card, which made George annoy. This is also a kind of pressure on the referee. If the referee communicates with the fourth referee during the halftime, the second half may change.
George is still dissatisfied with the referee. Is this obviously a home whistle? The referee didn't brag about the foul of Manchester United players.
Keane is really in good condition. He really has a momentum. It not only frozes the excellent performance of Miku this season, but also allows Pires and Deko to intercept the passes in the midfield.
Although there is a reason for the rain, it is also related to Keane's state this season.
Blackburn took advantage of Manchester United twice last season. The first time took advantage of the national team's game, and the second time took advantage of more. But this game is completely tough.
Manchester United fought back strongly, and Blackburn was not willing to show weakness. The two sides are completely free of the fight.
In the twenty-eighth minute, Keane grabbed the ball and handed it to Scholes. Scholes turned to Giggs on the left.
"... Giggs, Sanior has come to defend. Giggs, break through!"
Facing a sudden acceleration in the face of Saniol Giggs, Saniol fell to the ground. However, after Giggs took the ball, he jumped over Sanior. He completely got rid of Sanior and ran along the left road.
After Giggs broke through Saniol, the front was wide open.
There are York and Cole in front of Manchester United, Beckham on the right, Scholes in the middle and Keane all attack.
Defending Giggs is the returning Duff, but Giggs has no chance for Duff at all. There is a cross near the bottom line.
"... Giggs, cross... Keane in the back, header!"
It was not Scholes who came in the back, but Keane who ran all the way from near his penalty area. Facing Giggs' cross, he jumped to the top and scored the first goal of the game.
The cheers of all the fans at Old Trafford shocked the whole stadium.
However, at this time, George had no empty pipe and fell behind, because Sanior, who had just slipped the shovel, had been lying on the ground and did not get up.
"It seems that Sanior is injured and hasn't been up." The TV broadcast finally found Sanior. Looking at the replay, it should be Saniol who pulled his muscles during the tackle. This kind of injury should be more serious than a hard injury, and I don't know what it will look like.
After Blackburn's team doctor checked Saniol's injury, he made a substitution gesture to George.
George frowned. Sanior, this season's performance is so strong. There have been four assists, and Saniol's accurate cross and Klose are a perfect match. I don't know what the injury is.
Gala didn't warm up, so he changed into clothes as a substitute.
The years are unfavorable. It's really a little bit. Sanior's captain's armband was brought to Duff's hand. Mainly because Duff is a player produced by Blackburn's youth training camp and can get the support of fans.
"How's it going?" George frowned and asked the team doctor.
The team doctor shook his head. The expression is more ugly. Although the specifics are not known yet, the situation is not very good. If the worst happens, it will be reimbursed this season. Even if it's better, you have to rest for two or three months.
"Two or three months" and "season reimbursement" came to George's ears, which made George's heart tremble.
Compared with a game, Saniol's important surname for George is obvious.
After Saniol came down, Manchester United's attack became more fierce. In the rainy day, although George also worked hard, he finally lost two to zero away from home.
In the 22nd minute of the second half, Cole received Beckham's cross and scored the second goal of the game.
But more than this game, George is more concerned about Sanior's injury. I'm very depressed. If Sanior's injury is really serious, what should I do then? Who can replace Saniol in Blackburn now?
Standing in the rain, George's face was gloomy and blue.
