294 Peak Showdown

After losing to Everton, Blackburn arrived in Italy.

Came to Rome again. I came to the Olympic Stadium again.

Because Serie A does not allow private football fields, many teams share a football field. Including the two heroes of Milan, they share a stadium. Just give him a name. Ac Milan is called San Siro Stadium and Inter Milan is called Meacha Stadium.

That sounds good. If you are a fan who has just watched the game, you will think that you have a court.

Lazio and Roma also share the same stadium. That's the Rome Olympic Stadium.

At Lazio's home court, Lazio fans most hope is to beat Blackburn at home.

George put half of the substitute lineup. Instead, they fought fiercely and finally drew with Lazio one-to-one at Lazio's home court. After the end of the fourth round of the group stage of the UEFA Champions League, Blackburn has already accumulated ten points and has determined a qualifying place.

Although many people think that the appearance of Lazio and Blackburn is a certainty when analyzing Group B. But no one expected Blackburn to be able to break through the group so easily.

After returning from Rome, Blackburn met Manchester City.

Manchester City is a newly upgraded club. After the upgrade, the results were very poor, and the goal was only a little less than that of Bradford. Facing Manchester City at home, George is full of confidence. But I don't know if it's because of the recent unstable state that Blackburn was scored two goals by Manchester City, which had extremely poor attack power.

Blanco can be said to have suffered a great humiliation in this game. First, the Manchester City striker passed Blanco with speed and scored a goal. Again, because the speed of turning around is slow, I can only pull the opponent's striker. He gave the opposing striker a penalty, and he got a red card.

Blanco only got four points in the post-match score.

For good, Blackburn's attack power is very strong. The goal of Miku and Piret ended the game two.

It's really shameful to play against a team like Manchester City and only get a two-to-two score. In the last three games, Blackburn had two draws and one loss, which surprised the media. Is this still Blackburn at the beginning of the season?

It is understandable that Lazio has been tied. After all, Blackburn no longer needs to fight with Lazio on the road.

But it was too unexpected to be tied by Manchester City and lost to Everton.

Mark, who hasn't appeared for a long time at this time. Laurenson reappeared in front of the media. Black faced weak opponents at the beginning of this season. So they can win an eight-game winning streak. But when the schedule was dense and the strong team appeared, Blackburn showed its essence.

"This is George's first time to attack in the Premier League and the Champions League. He can't allocate the team's resources reasonably, or George's experience is too shallow.

Agree with Mark. There are many media outlets for Laurenson's opinion. They all forgot that they had praised George as an English coach before.

But George was not in a hurry. The recent unstable state is entirely due to the fierceness at the beginning of the season. The results are so good that the Blackburn players are in high spirits all the way. By October, it was impossible to go up again. So it can only lower their emotions.

Fortunately, there are not many games in October, and Blackburn doesn't have to be as busy as August and September.

Throughout October, Blackburn had only five games. In September, Blackburn played eight games. Therefore, for the tired Blackburn, it is a perfect time to rest.

George also has more time to rest and consider.

After playing Manchester City, Blackburn went to Prague, Czech Republic, two days later. Go away to Sparta Prague. In this game, George really rotated most of the lineup, with a complete substitute lineup. George even used two players from the youth team to play.

However, even with the full stand-up lineup, Sparta Prague has not been able to defeat Blackburn. Blackburn drew with Sparta Prague one-to-one away. If it weren't for George being the head coach, George wouldn't even want to go to Prague, Czech Republic.

After the five rounds of the UEFA Champions League group stage, Blackburn scored 11 points.

George didn't care much about this game at all. Because after this game, there is a tough battle waiting for Blackburn. Blackburn is going away to challenge the Red Devils Manchester United.

............On October 28, Blackburn had already arrived in Manchester.

The away game against Manchester United is a real highlight.

Because of Blackburn's downturn during this period, Arsenal is only two points behind Blackburn and Manchester United is four points behind Blackburn. It almost made up for the gap in the previous period.

However, Blackburn, Manchester United and Arsenal are still the strongest contenders for the Premier League title this season.

So the match between Blackburn and Manchester United is also praised by the media as an important watershed.

If Blackburn wins this game, Manchester United will be seven points behind Blackburn. It will also establish Blackburn's strong position in the Premier League. Of course, once Manchester United wins, the gap with Blackburn will be completely narrowed.

More importantly, Blackburn has been in a poor state recently. If we lose to Manchester United again, the last three league games will be one draw and two losses. It is possible that Blackburn will continue to be in a downturn.

So this game, from another perspective, will have an important impact on the Premier League championship this season.

As a result, countless media poured into Manchester.

When Black had arrived at Old Trafford, many reporters blocked George and wanted to ask him questions.

"Coach Levy, Blackburn's performance has not been very good in recent games. Can you tell me the reason?"

George stopped and looked at the reporter shrugging his shoulders and said casually, "My team has done a good job. And think about it, it would be boring if we won all the games. We have to give a little hope to other teams, including Manchester United, don't we?

Hearing George's words, the reporters around him almost spit on George.

The game is in poor condition and so shameless. I guess George is definitely the first.

The reporter from Manchester United is quit.

"Coach Levy, at the beginning of the season, you used the Special Genius Clause to buy Hleb. But why haven't we seen your special genius perform this season?

This is the irony of the Manchester United reporter for George **.

George was not angry. He smiled and said, "Since he is a special genius, of course he has special abilities. If even you can see his ability, how can he be a special genius? In fact, you don't have to worry. Soon you will understand Alexander's strength.

At this time, the reporter of The Sun finally squeezed in.

"Coach Levy, have you seen the latest issue of The Sun?"

"The Sun, I haven't heard of it. What are you doing?" If George is the most annoying newspaper in England, it is the Sun. This newspaper has no bottom line. As long as it can stimulate sales, they are willing to use any means.

Hearing George's words, some reporters next to him laughed.

However, the reporter of the Sun is thick-skinned. How to be a reporter if he is not a little thick-skinned?

"Internal news said that Miku was very dissatisfied with Coach Levy's replacement during the game. I don't know if it's true?"

"Is this the content of your latest issue?"

"Yes."

"Are you confirming the authenticity of the news to me now?"

"Yes."

George sneered when he heard this, and his face collapsed. Now that it's all on, what else do you confirm with me? What do you want to hear from me? Do you want to hear it or not? Anyway, judging from what you look like, your newspaper is a newspaper that survives by making up news. Is it really useful? Just make up a story and write it yourself.

After saying that, George ignored the other reporters and went straight back.

The Sun, Murdoch is really guilty.

You are a media tycoon, even if you have no public morality. But at least you can't be too insult. But Murdoch has no bottom line at all. However, Murdoch's family is a world-famous media giant, and George, a small coach, can't do anything to him.

Looking at George's appearance, the reporter of The Sun was not angry at all. On the contrary, I am very happy. George was angry, so they wrote good things.

Both teams have a lot of problems in this game.

First of all, home team Manchester United, their midfielder Keane stepped on Yongberry because of the match against Arsenal two rounds ago. He fought with Yongberry on the court and was sent off with a red card. After the game, he was banned for four games by the FA, so he could not play in this game.

And Giggs on the left side was injured and could not play. This is a great benefit for Blackburn.

Of course, Blackburn also has a attenuation.

First of all, Blanco on the back line, because of the red card against Manchester City, he can't play in this game.

Another person was slightly injured during training. It's Blackburn's main striker Klose. For the sake of conservatism, George also removed Klose from the starting line-up. George didn't want to let Klose take risks for a game.

The weather is fine on this day. George likes it very much.

Although I'm used to the rainy weather in England. But George will be in a good mood when he encounters such a sunny day. And Blackburn's playing style, if the field is slippery, will affect the play.

I have been to Old Trafford Stadium many times, but every time he comes to Old Trafford Stadium, George is very envious. If only Blackburn could have such a good court.

Just as the media attach importance to this game, Manchester United fans also attach importance to this game.

Nearly 70,000 seats at Old Trafford have been completely filled by Manchester United fans. The game began to cheer for the home team without starting. Of course, there are also Blackburn fans who follow Blackburn. Although the number is small, the momentum is not low.

A peak duel is imminent.
