232 Cold Moscow

Seeing a tired player, George remembered the situation of playing Manchester United.

At that time, Manchester United was like this now. After the national team game, they were exhausted. When George first led Blackburn to challenge Manchester United, it was just after the end of the national team game.

George also took this opportunity to draw Manchester United at Old Trafford. In the end, George also got rid of the downturn at the beginning of the season with that game. At that time, George was so grateful to the national team for the game.

If there was no interference from the national team at that time, George would have no confidence to draw with Manchester United. It is even possible to be humiliated by Manchester United.

But it's his turn. George hates the national team game. Now the arrangement of the national team's game is much more reasonable. In the past few years, there was even no regularity in the national team's game. The national team is casually inserted into the league.

However, the club at that time was on the weak side. Although they were full of scratching, they could not change the situation.

With the establishment of G14, the resistance of several rich families is becoming more and more fierce. UEFA has tried its best to suppress this rich league. But at the same time, in order not to force them, they will also be appeased in other ways.

The expansion of Champions League events and the regularization of national team matches are all made by FIFA and UEFA's concessions to these big clubs.

But there are still many unreasonable things about the current national team's game arrangement. But this kind of thing can't be changed.

Just after he came back, George faced Tottenham Hotspur from London.

There are also many international footballers in Tottenham Hotspur, but they are not as good as Blackburn. Although many of Blackburn's international players are substitutes, what George didn't expect was that the idea of the European coach was indeed different from that of the Chinese national team coach.

After Sun Jihai returned to the national team, he played two games as the main force.

But the European national team has more substitutes in the two friendly matches. The original main players came on the field and only played half a game. Instead, the substitutes play more than the main players.

This made George want to cry without tears. At the beginning, George was still complacent, and many of Blackburn's players were marginal internationals. I didn't expect the final result to be like this.

George is afraid of these players who have just returned from the national team and may be injured if he continues to play. Therefore, try to arrange some players who have not played in the national team, but unfortunately they failed to win against Tottenham.

Although Tottenham Hotspur's performance this season is still very poor, it is better than last season's offensive and defensive performance.

Blackburn couldn't score a goal, but Tottenham scored a goal with a mistake on Blackburn's back line. In the end, Blackburn lost 1-0 at home.

After the 15th round of the Premier League, Leeds United has become the second place in the Premier League. Get rid of Blackburn's four points, only one point less than Manchester United.

The strength of Leeds United made everyone in the British football world sigh. This is really a "storm of youth".

Only five days after playing Tottenham Hotspur, Blackburn challenged Watford away. Watford this season currently ranks last in the Premier League. It is the most popular team to be relegated this season.

Watford is a team that has just been promoted this season, and Watford is also a strong team in League One. But after the Premier League, Watford became a bullying team.

In the face of Watford, George will not stay at all. Because Blackburn's results have fluctuated recently, although he still ranks third in the Premier League. But George is not very satisfied. In the face of a fish brisket like Watford, there is no other way to go.

Blackburn's main player had a good rest in the last game. After playing this game, he played three goals for Watford on the road. In the end, the score was 3-0 and the victory was won.

At the same time, Manchester United vacate the 16th round of the Premier League, while Leeds United lost to Aston Villa 6-2 in this round.

In addition to these three teams, Arsenal's performance this season is getting worse and worse. They have lost four games and drawn three games. Therefore, the Premier League championship has become a matter for Manchester United, Leeds United and Blackburn.

Although George thought that his team was not weak, he still ranked third in the Premier League after the 16 rounds of the Premier League. And being able to beat Arsenal and Manchester United is only two points that George never thought of.

For the current results, George sometimes laughs when he thinks about it. What about Manchester United? What about Arsenal?

As for Leeds United, it is not in George's eyes at all.

It's not that George underestimates the strength of Leeds United. With the strength of Leeds United, as long as their young players are mature. Even if they face any strong team in Europe, they will not be afraid. But being strong is one thing, and whether you can achieve good results is another thing.

Leeds United is now strong and looks fierce. In fact, George is not afraid at all, just like their collapse at the end of last season. With the current pressure resistance of Leeds United, it has no strength to compete for the championship.

Even if Arsenal's results are now dejected, their threat is much stronger than that of Biliz United.

So now in George's eyes, there is only one opponent from Manchester United.

............

After fighting Wembleton, Blackburn will go on an expedition to Moscow only five days later.

The opponents of the top 32 of the League Cup have come out. Blackburn's opponent is the Moscow Spartak, who is also from Moscow.

Compared with its last opponent, Lokomotiv Moscow, Spartak Moscow is a real Russian strong force. During the former Soviet Union, the Spartak Moscow team was second only to Dynamo Kiev, a leading Soviet team.

It's just because of the disintegration of the former Soviet Union and the decline of the Russian economy, which greatly reduced the strength of this Soviet giant. However, even so, Spartak Moscow has achieved good results in recent years.

When George arrived in Moscow, it was December 2.

England is also relatively cold at this time, but it is really small compared with Moscow. There is already snow in Moscow. Although it was not very big, it also snowed a little. As soon as he arrived in Moscow, George felt the cold.

At this time, the temperature in Moscow is several degrees during the day, and at night, the temperature is below zero. In the early morning, the temperature was about ten degrees below zero. This temperature makes Blackburn players very uncomfortable.

George frowned.

George is not very afraid of this temperature. George grew up in the north in his last life, and later went to school in Dalian. When it is the coldest in winter, the temperature is more than 20 degrees below zero. But in December, the temperature still made George smack.

It's getting cold, and it's a problem to play the game.

No wonder many people are unwilling to play against the Russian team. In such a cold weather, they can only exert 50% of their strength. And those Russian players played well in the game.

Blackburn has always had a high possession rate when playing in England.

But today in Moscow, the possession rate is not as good as that of Spartak Moscow.

George is anxious off the court. This game is too bad. If Ferdinand hadn't been eye-catching on the guard line, Blackburn would have fallen behind.

"...Duff, he got the ball... Duff, he was hit."

Russian players are very strong, a typical Nordic player's way of playing. It is not much different from the rhythm of football in England. There are a lot of fouls against people, and I didn't feel it before. But there are many problems in such a cold place.

Duff, a famous player in the Premier League, was hit by a Russian player and couldn't get up.

This made George stamp his feet fiercely off the court. Don't be fine. Duff is George's very important attacking player.

But it disappointed George. After examining Duff, the team doctor made a gesture of substitution to George.

"Damien, how's it going?"

George was very anxious. The collision just now was not very serious. This kind of injury is even more frightening.

"I twisted my foot, and it will take at least a month to recover."

After listening to the team doctor's words, George frowned. It's a big tragedy to play in Russia in winter. Now it's a tragedy. The sharp weapon in his hand, Duff, was injured.

This season is not going well. Since George became the head coach, although some players have been injured from time to time. But there have never been two consecutive important players injured like this season. Saniol's injury has made George angry, and now Duff is also injured.

George replaced Duff with Romedal.

George used Romedal, which is to like Romedal's good health and anti-collision. I hope there can be some changes.

But I didn't expect that Blackburn was still in a weak position. Blackburn players are really uncomfortable with such cold weather.

"Ball control, ball control!"

Under the fierce attack of the Russian team, Blackburn's attack did not get better at all. In desperation, George stood on the sidelines and told the players. Don't rush to pass the ball. Control and control the ball is the best way.

The strength of Spartak Moscow is average. George believes that as long as the game is held, he will be able to turn the table when he returns home.

George doesn't care about face at this time. Let the Blackburn players disperse a little, and then control the game with excellent ball control and passing skills. Don't be scared by the attack of Spartak Moscow.

Blackburn players are just not used to the cold weather, and their passing ability is still good.

Keep passing the ball to kill Moscow's fighting spirit. The game started to play well, but it soon turned into a boring battle. In the end, Blackburn drew with Spartak Moscow with good defense and possession.

Although in such a difficult environment, they were forced to equal Spartak Moscow. But George was not happy at all. In this broken place, he broke one of his generals, Duff.
