314 Champions League restart

George promised that he would never leave Blackburn after the game. But this kind of thing is nothing.

Many media still question that this is just George's purpose to stabilize Blackburn's locker room. At this time, Williams also came forward and said that the renewal contract between the two sides would be signed in February. George will definitely not leave in the next few years.

Under the repeated assurances of George and Williams, the media did not catch this matter. But they are also waiting to see if there will be a new contract renewal in February.

Just as George was looking through the newspaper these days, someone knocked on the door of George's office.

"Come in."

"Head, you look for me."

Deco wiped his sweat and came to George's office doubtfully.

George rarely calls players to the office. Generally, everything is solved in the court. Therefore, Deke was very puzzled that he had to go to the office for something.

"Anderson, I have good news for you."

Seeing Deco come in, George took out a fax from the table and gave it to Deco.

After taking a look, Deke jumped up from the chair. Then he looked at George in surprise, and then looked at the fax carefully. Finally, he said in a trembling tone, "Head, is this true?"

"You still have this expression after watching it. Congratulations, Anderson."

Deco swallowed his saliva and finally said, "Head, I'm really in the national team."

George nodded with a smile.

Yes, this fax was just received by George. The Brazilian national team sent it to Blackburn Club, and the content is very simple. It is to tell George that Deco was selected for the new Brazilian national team. With the strength of Blackburn in the past few seasons, Deco, a successful Brazilian player in England, has also entered the vision of the Brazilian coach.

Few Brazilian players in English football can succeed.

But Deko, a Brazilian player, is currently England's number one midfielders.

And with the accumulation of experience, his strength is also constantly improving. The 23-year-old Deco has become a representative of successful Brazilian players in the Premier League.

Lusenberg believes that Deco, a simple young midfielder, can gain a foothold in the Brazilian national team. So I sent this fax to Blackburn.

In fact, no player can receive a phone call from the head coach of the national team. There may be such treatment as Ronaldo.

As for Deke, it's very good to send you a fax.

Or if you can like you and let you enter the national team, you should burn incense.

Although with Deko's current strength and reputation, it is difficult to become the main force in the Brazilian national team. But I am very happy to be able to enter the Brazilian national team. So I was very cheering.

George is now bringing more and more changes to world football.

Deco, who should be the core player of the Portuguese national team in the future, has now been selected for the Brazilian national team. FIFA stipulates that as long as you have played for an adult national team, you can no longer change your nationality.

That is to say, Deco was selected for the Brazilian national team this time. As long as he plays the game, he will never be selected for the Portuguese national team.

George doesn't know whose position Deco will replace in the future? Emerson? Gilbert. Silva? Or maybe you can't become the main force of the national team in the future.

But George couldn't say anything to Deko. After all, being able to enter the Brazilian national team is the dream of all Brazilian players.

"Anderson, don't worry when you get to the national team. Even if you can't be the main force for a while, don't worry. George didn't know if Lusenberg would reuse Deco. But Deko was his own player, so George comforted him.

"Head, I know."

Deco, who was obviously already very excited, didn't listen to George at all.

Looking at the happy look of Deco when he went out, George shook his head. I don't know what will happen to the Brazilian national team, not the Portuguese national team, for the future of Deko.

............Deco happily went to the Brazilian national team to meet.

But George is going to scold his mother. There is something wrong with these teams in South America. Can they abide by some rules? There is no national team game in Europe now. They put the game in February. Isn't that going to kill George?

In February, Blackburn still had to deal with a lot of games.

There are three Premier League matches, the League Cup semi-finals, the League Cup finals, and the second round of the UEFA Champions League group stage that will start soon.

What an important moment this is.

If it is in the future, George will definitely refuse this kind of solicitation. But not now. First of all, Blackburn is not so strong. In addition, Deco received a call from the national team for the first time. He is now in the mood. George can't be a villain.

Deco is gone, and Blackburn's game will continue.

On January 25, the second game of the semi-finals of the League Cup began.

Blackburn challenged Birmingham away. In fact, this game is completely a chicken rib. The -5-zero in the first game completely killed the suspense of the League Cup semi-final. Blackburn understands this, Birmingham understands it, and all the media understand it. George will not waste his energy on this kind of game.

So George put up a player who rarely plays. Several people have also been transferred from the youth team. Anyway, Birmingham doesn't pay attention to this game.

Both teams do not attach importance to this game, but the substitute players still cherish this opportunity. Maybe it will be amazing in this kind of competition, which will make George like it. Therefore, it looks good for you to come and go.

In the end, the two sides played two to two.

Blackburn defeated Birmingham 2-0 in two games and reached the final of the League Cup.

The results of another site have also come out. Liverpool, which lost 3-1 in the first game, started at home. In the face of Ipswich, he actually defeated Ipswich with a five-zero.

The total score was 6 to 3, and Ipswich was eliminated.

In this way, the opponent of the Blackburn League Cup final has become Liverpool.

The League Cup final will be held on February 25th.

Deke went from January 22nd and won't be back until February 7th. George was very angry, but there was nothing he could do.

On February 1, Blackburn ushered in the 25th round of the Premier League.

Blackburn's main rest time is enough. There are ten days of rest from January 20 to now. However, because Deco did not come back, George asked veteran McAlister to replace Deco in this game.

In the face of Leicester City, Blackburn's performance was excellent.

McAllister has made 17 debuts for Blackburn this season, and has made eight substitute appearances. It can be said that Blackburn is a very important player at present.

Although he is thirty-six years old, his physical strength does not decrease at all.

Facing Leicester City, the midfield is well organized. In the first half, it was Duff who received a pass from McAlyster and broke the deadlock with a shot in the penalty area of Leicester City.

It's much easier to play the game after a goal ahead.

Facing Leicester City, midfielder Miku's direct pass allowed Klose to succeed in offside and scored the second goal of the game.

In the final game, Blackburn defeated Leicester City 2-0 with goals from Duff and Klose.

Blackburn's fiery state has not disappeared.

Ten days later, on February 10, Blackburn played against Bradford at home.

There have been 25 rounds of the Premier League. Bradford has only won two games and lost 17 games. It is still at the bottom of the Premier League.

Black was not polite. Facing Bradford, he scored three goals with his head-to-head kick. Another 3-0 game, a clean and neat victory over Bradford. Bradford players don't feel anything when they lose the game.

They seem to be completely numb.

George believes that their players have been abandoned. In this state, it is absolutely a joke that they can be relegated this season.

A team can lose anything, but once it loses its spirit, the team has no future. This is how Bradford is now. George looked at them and shook his head with a sigh.

The victory of the two games finally made George breathe a sigh of relief.

Because in the twenty-sixth round of the Premier League, Manchester United, which tightly bit Blackburn, finally lost points. In this round, Manchester United drew with Chelsea one-to-one away. In this way, after 26 rounds, Blackburn led Manchester United by eight points.

Arsenal, which was in a sluggish state some time ago, performed well. The victory of two consecutive games allowed them to consolidate their third place in the Premier League.

After the 26th round of the Premier League on February 10, Blackburn will not have a mission in the Premier League for nearly half a month. Because Blackburn will represent the Premier League with Manchester United and Arsenal in the Champions League.

The Champions League, which has been interrupted for three months, is about to start again.

In the second round of the UEFA Champions League, there are four games left.

Blackburn was tied and lost in the group stage, ranking second.

The next two games happened to be home and away against last season's old enemy Galatasaray.

In the UEFA Cup final last season, George led Blackburn to defeat Galatasaray. Now the two teams are in the same group stage. And besides Bayern, they are the two most likely teams to appear.

Therefore, it can be said that Blackburn can break through in this group, these two games are the most critical.

Once he won these two games, Blackburn basically locked the place in the group stage. Of course, once he fails, Blackburn can only accept the fate of being eliminated.

Just one day after the game with Bradford, George led Blackburn to Istanbul, which is known as the devil's home court.
