George was very angry when he came back from Moscow.

It's not because he didn't win in Moscow, but because he lost the general Duff.

Since George became Blackburn, Duff has been George's first weapon. In addition, Duff is a player from Blackburn youth training camp. He is only 20 years old this year. Duff scored a double-digit goal for Blackburn last season. Who can dislike such a player?

And because he plays in England, Duff is not afraid of any collision.

Duff's playing style is different from other England's wingers. Including Bellamy and Romedar in Blackburn now. Duff has speed and skills, and more importantly, he won't be greedy. Duff's pass is better than Bellamy. Compared with Romedar, Duff is faster and more technical.

Of course, Duff's shot is better than other England's full-backs.

But there's nothing we can do now. Duff is injured.

After returning to Blackburn, Duff checked again. It was found that it took more than 40 days to recover. George almost cried when he heard such a diagnosis.

However, George did not have time to rest. Just two days after returning to England, the Premier League restarted.

On December 4, Blackburn faced Burnley at home.

George is very embarrassed now, because after this game against Burnley, Blackburn will play the second game against Spartak Moscow. The game was scheduled for December 9.

Now Blackburn has performed well in the league, only two points less than Manchester United and one point less than Biliz United. But now Blackburn is a small game against Bliz United, and Blackburn still has the hope of competing for the championship in the league.

Although there is little hope, the Premier League champion is more attractive to George than the League Cup champion.

Premier League champion and League Cup champion George doesn't want to give up. But George knows that with Blackburn's current strength, if he wants to be the same as Manchester United last season, a three-line attack is definitely a joke. Not only is George's coach inexperienced, but Blackburn players don't have that kind of strength.

But any champion is very big for George's **.

But George thought about Ferguson's Manchester United and finally shook his head. Manchester United's greatest ability is the strength of the second half. Whether it's Kevin before. Keegan's Newcastle and later Wenger's Arsenal, who were once double-digit ahead of Manchester United, but were eventually reversed by Manchester United to win the championship.

Now Manchester United is in the first place, and Manchester United is very rich in scoring ability and experience in the final stage. It is really difficult to win the championship from Manchester United, a mature team. The League Cup still has more room for work.

Derby, Derby! Although it is a derby, Blackburn and Burnley are completely two-grade teams now. Blackburn is currently one of the contenders for the Premier League title, while Burnley is the third to last and has been struggling in the relegation zone.

Fans from both sides are very enthusiastic, but George doesn't really pay attention to Burnley. Within two years, Barack, Yonberry and Robby were sold one after another. Keane, Gary. After Brin's players, Burnley's strength declined quickly.

Now Burnley has no good midfielder, good striker, and no good defender in defense.

So George finally sent a large number of substitutes when he faced Burnley.

Of course, sending substitutes does not mean that George gave up the game. George replaced Romedar, Bellamy, Hargreaves and Deko in the midfield. The forward line uses Drogba and Davao. Two people, Sooke.

This is Drogba's first Premier League debut this season. Drogba played more in the reserve team in Blackburn, but George did not hesitate to play in the first team. In addition to a large number of substitute opportunities, he was also allowed to play in some cup games that had no suspense.

However, in the Premier League, Drogba is not so easy to start.

But Drogba is not dissatisfied, or dares not be dissatisfied. He is a player who can't play the main force in the French Second Division, and it's already burning for him to get a stable chance to play in Blackburn.

Drogba does have many shortcomings in many aspects, but his excellent physical fitness cannot be ignored.

For nearly half a season, those Premier League teams have also understood the characteristics of Drogba. This is a striker who is physically abnormal but has poor skills.

But I know that when I really face Drogba, Burnley's defender understands what a real perverted body is. Drogba played a disturbing role, and even George would not think of him as an excellent offensive terminator.

Drogba kept running in the front court, constantly grabbing the header, disturbing their back line.

Although the shooting technique is not good, the pressure Drogba brings to Burnley's rear defense is definitely not a star. Upson looked at Drogba, the black charcoal head, and kept cursing Drogba in his heart. With his excellent physical condition and header ability, Upson soon occupied a position in Burnley.

But in the face of Drogba, Upson felt what Warcraft is.

After being finally ** by Drogba, Dava behaved teely. Suk defeated Burnley 1-0 with a low shot in the penalty area.

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

Five days later, Blackburn greeted Spartak Moscow.

George is bound to win the UEFA Cup. In the last game, George did not send the main players against the derby opponent. It can be seen that George attaches great importance to this game. In the first game, Blackburn was zero-to-zero away from home, and this game can be promoted with only one ball. Mortson explained the game.

"I don't think there should be too much suspense in this game. In the first game, it was just that Blackburn players did not adapt to the cold weather in Moscow. In terms of strength, Spartak Moscow is not as good as the current Blackburn. Mortson's partner is still Alan. Hansen.

"To be honest, if I were George, I wouldn't have sacrificed league results for the UEFA Cup. If Blackburn devotes all his energy to the league, he may be able to compete with Manchester United for the championship at the end of the season.

Mottson opposes George's importance as much as the UEFA Cup. In Mortensen's view, with the expansion of the Champions League, the status of the UEFA Cup is declining. There is no gold in the Premier League champion.

"John, George is very angry. Maybe he is playing the League Cup now. George is thinking about when to go to the Champions League to win the championship.

"Hahaha, that's right. George is definitely this kind of person.

Speaking of George's surname, in fact, George's surname is easy to be mastered. Look at Mottson and Alan. Hansen knows George's ideas very well.

In fact, it's not that George doesn't know the decline in the gold content of the UEFA Cup, nor does he know the important surname of the Premier League champion. But George knows the difficulty of winning the league championship from the now mature Manchester United. However, George must win a championship this season. It seems that the League Cup is easier than the league, so George chose the League Cup.

"...Deco, diagonal pass... Pires got the ball... Crossed, it's Klose!"

After returning to home, Blackburn players became normal. Under the control of Blackburn players, Spartak Moscow does not have the momentum in Moscow. Soon Blackburn took the upper hand on the court.

After choosing Duff's substitute, George finally chose Bellamy. Let Bellamy go to the left and Pires go back to the right.

After Piree got Deko's pass, he did not break through. Just use technology to shake an angle and pass it inside. Klose found something accurately.

"Clozes... headed the ball, did not shoot but gave it to the middle... Follow the incoming Miku!"

"GOOOOOOOAL!!!!!!!!!!!"

Klose is getting more and more powerful now and knows how to find the best way to attack. The ball just now is actually a header shot, which can also create a threat. However, under the interference of the opponent's defender, it is difficult to exert force.

Therefore, Klose chose to pass it back and accurately passed it to Miku inserted in the middle.

Facing the return pass, Miku did not hesitate at all, but directly volleyed in the air.

"Beautiful, beautiful volley! Miku's goal rate is definitely one of the best in the midfield. It goes well with Klose.

"One to zero, Blackburn has already led Spartak Moscow at home. The promotion situation is very good.

Ewood Park is like a volcanic eruption, and the cheers of the whole audience are suffocating. They are waiting for George to bring them a League Cup champion, so they also attach great importance to the League Cup.

George also clenched his fist tightly on the court.

Now Blackburn's playing style is completely tailored for Miku. When Miku takes the ball, the tridents composed of Klose, Pires and Duff in front of him will disperse and give Miku a pass route.

When Miku is plugged in, whether it is the two sides or the front Klose, it will be passed back to Miku in the middle. Give Miku a chance to shoot.

These are all tailored to use Miku's excellent passing ability, breakthrough ability and his shooting ability. Miku is also like a fish in water in Blackburn.

After scoring a goal, it is very easy to do. Spartak Moscow also wanted to advance to the next round, so their attack was much more fierce. However, after they pressed it out, there were more neutrals in the defense line.

In the 37 minutes of the first half, Bellamy on the left received a pass from Miku and succeeded in offside. He ran 40 meters and scored the second goal of the game.

Van Bronchhorst scored the third goal in the second half.

"Three to zero, Blackburn made it to the top 16 as he wished. Congratulations to Blackburn and George. George has only six games left before the League Cup final.

George didn't get much excitement after the game. It's just Spartak Moscow. Now there are more and more strong teams in the League Cup, and the rest are all strong European teams. Including Juventus, Rome, Bremen, Arsenal and Borussia Dortmund.

Which of these teams is good to match? After the Bosman Act, although it began to distinguish between strong and weak. However, the teams within the five major leagues have not yet seen the later situation, so Rome, Bremen and Dortmund are all very strong.

Only by passing them can we enter the League Cup final.
