483 sequelae
No matter how tired the Blackburn players are, the Premier League starts as scheduled.
On August 23, the Premier League of the 04-05 season officially began.
Speaking of the opening stage of this season, the schedule is not very good for Blackburn. Although the first two rounds were against West Bromwich Albion and Southampton, the third and fourth rounds will be played by Arsenal and Manchester United in a row.
Arsenal was the best team in the Premier League last season.
Manchester United's results last season were very poor. But Manchester United has increased their investment this season.
Ferguson has three key acquisitions this season. From the sworn enemy, Liz, he dug up Alan. Smith.
He used to say that he wanted to be loyal to Alan of Leeds United. Smith refused the invitations of countless clubs and went to his sworn enemy Manchester United. He also became the biggest traitor of Leeds United. For Alan. Smith, Manchester United paid a transfer fee of seven million pounds.
After that, Ferguson introduced Argentine defender Heinze from Saint-Germain in Paris for 7 million pounds.
These two transfers are not very big, but these two players are both powerful players.
And Manchester United's biggest move this summer is the introduction of Rooney.
18-year-old Rooney has become the best player in England. In particular, in this European Cup, he scored four goals and became England's best player. Everton even priced Rooney for 50 million pounds.
Of course it is.
In the end, Manchester United spent 31 million pounds on the transfer fee to buy Rooney, England's future. There are also some additional terms. If they are met, Rooney's transfer fee will reach 39 million pounds.
With the purchase of Rooney, Ferguson's third-generation Red Devil began to form.
The schedule is really not very good for Blackburn. In particular, Blackburn is currently poorly prepared for the game, and the opponents in the first two games are weaker. But Manchester United and Arsenal are all strong enemies of the Premier League. Although George is not afraid of them, it is not a good schedule for George to meet strong teams so early and consecutively.
............ In the first round of the Premier League, Blackburn played against West Bromwich Albion at home.
West Bromwich Albion is a promoted horse. Their strength is limited, and being able to stay in the Premier League after the end of this season is their goal this season.
Like all the promoted horses, their playing style is very simple. Or it is a feature, that is, long-term transmission. And the long pass of the English team depends on the physical fitness of their players.
These players are in great health. They can run and hit.
They play with speed.
The ball is flying around in the air.
But Blackburn could not be afraid of this kind of Premier League team. Although the Premier League has developed a lot over the years, there are many different ways to play in the Premier League. However, for the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League, their style of play still retains the traditional style of the Premier League. In the Premier League over the years, Blackburn has encountered many teams with this kind of play.
Therefore, George is very calm about West Bromwich.
Such a promoted horse will have an ambition when he comes to the Premier League. So even in the face of a strong Premier League team like Blackburn, they are not afraid. It's loud and colorful.
But after all, the strength is insufficient.
In the 27th minute of the first half, Blackburn was already 1-0 ahead of West Bromwich Albion with Drogba's goal. It's very easy.
The game developed completely according to George's idea.
George doesn't want to force West Bromwich Albion too much. Because Blackburn's physical strength is very problematic, George hopes to solve the battle in the simplest and easiest way.
But things never go according to your own ideas.
When the first half was about to end, an accident occurred.
Facing West Bromwich Albion's cross, Campbell headed the ball forward and did not expect to collide with the opponent's striker and fall to the ground. Then he stood up and ran for two steps, touched the vicinity of his thighs, and then sat down. He made a substitution gesture to George.
A lot of players, because they play too much. I am also experienced in injuries.
They can estimate their own injuries. Even if you are not as accurate as those doctors, at least you know what your injury will be like.
Therefore, before the team doctor arrived, it means that the player has been replaced, indicating that the player himself has roughly understood his injury.
George waited anxiously.
Soon the team doctor took Campbell on the stage. Campbell is limping. If you just look at it from the outside, you can't see how serious the injury is. Unlike Sanior, he couldn't walk at that time. It needs to be carried out on a stretcher.
"How's it going?"
George grabbed the team doctor.
Campbell has always been the pin of Blackburn's defense. Whether it's partnering with Ferdinand or Lucio, Campbell is very stable. Especially partner with Lucio, because Lucio is willing to go forward. So Campbell has always been protecting it. And it's quite perfect.
In recent years, Blackburn has achieved good results, and Campbell's role is quite huge.
"George, you have to be prepared. This is a groin injury, which initially looks serious.
George's heart skipped a beat.
Why do unlucky things always find themselves?
Inguinal injury, this injury can be large or small. In the original history, after the injury of Kaka's groin, he could never return to his peak state. And the time of the comeback is delayed again and again.
But George couldn't ask in detail because he wanted to continue the game.
Lescott replaced Campbell.
The game was not a big problem. In the second half, with Pires's goal, Blackburne widened the score to 2-0.
Got it in the first round of the Premier League.
But George was not happy at all. Because of the post-match examination, Campbell's injury was more serious than George expected. The doctor gave two options: conservative treatment and surgery.
Conservative treatment, able to continue to participate in the competition. Just take a short break.
Once you have an operation, you need to rest for at least half a year.
But conservative treatment is equivalent to giving up the best treatment opportunity. It is likely to end Campbell's professional life completely. Campbell is only 30 years old now, and as a defender, he can still play for four or five years.
Therefore, Campbell is inclined to surgery. In this way, it can at least recover and have a few years of professional life.
George was not forced.
Now is the beginning of the Premier League. There is no very important game at this time. You can't stop Campbell from operating for some Premier League games.
But at the thought that Campbell would rest for more than half a year, George almost cried.
Mom's, half a year?
Saniol has been injured for more than five months and has not been able to come back yet. Now Campbell is seriously injured again. It's a fucking bad year.
George suddenly regretted at this time. Why did he re-lease Compani to Anderlecht? Now Campbell is injured, and there are only three people in Blackburn's central defender position, Lucio, Lescott and his own youth camp player Macchivili.
Except for Lucio, Lescott and Maccheville can't reassure George.
George touched his forehead.
However, after hearing that Campbell was going to have an operation, I don't know how many people in British football were happy.
Mark, who hasn't appeared for a long time. Laurenson finally jumped out this time.
"Blackburn is crazy. Paul. Walker is crazy, John. Williams is crazy, George. Levy is also crazy. They are on the biggest adventure to build the best luxury stadium in England and even the whole of Europe.
"They are crazy for this stadium. They did not give up any opportunity to make money. In order to gain tens of millions of pounds, they went to Asia for a tour. Five games in half a month, even the Iron Man can't stand it. And many of their players have played in the European Cup.
"Look, something happened in the first game. Campbell is injured. And it's a very serious injury."
"If Blackburn doesn't pay attention, this kind of thing will continue."
George doesn't have much energy to go with Mark this time. Laurenson has a war of words.
Now at the core of the defense line, Campbell fell down. George can only use Lescott and Lucio's partner, but George, the partner of the two, is not strong. Although Lucio has changed a lot, he is still a little bold.
Not to mention Lescott.
It can't be compared with Campbell. Now George's headache is this. There is no time to refute Mark. Laurenson.
And Mark. Most of George agreed with Laurenson's words. Campbell played nearly 50 games in the club last season and nearly 10 games in the national team. In addition, he followed Blackburn to Asia this time, and his injury is likely to be due to this.
Mark is not the only one who criticizes Blackburn. Laurenson alone. Many media hold the same view.
They all think that because of a trip to Asia, Blackburn was unable to prepare for the new season at all.
Soon, Blackburn ushered in the second round of the Premier League.
Blackburn challenged Southampton away.
The game is also very easy. Blackburn beat Southampton 2-1 away.
However, the problem of Campbell's absence came out. Southampton's strength is limited, but it scored Blackburn's goal. The problem is that Lucio and Lescott made a mistake in cooperation.
George shook his head.
In any way, Lescott is much worse than Campbell.
For Sanior's location, George chose Macon. McCon didn't go to Asia with the team, and his physical strength was not bad. I had a rest for at least 20 days. But Mai Kong always loses his position. The current Maicon is not the later Maicon.
George can only thank his opponent. Southampton is too weak, otherwise how could Blackburn's temporary defense be blocked?
But good luck ends here.
In the third round, Blackburn challenged Arsenal in an amazing state.
Arsenal is the best team this season. In the first round, he swept Everton 4-1 away and defeated Middlesbrough 5-1 at home in the second round, continuing his excellent form last season.
It was really a tragedy for Blackburn to meet them.
The right road guarded by Macon and the middle road of Lescott's Lucio were beaten into a sieve by Arsenal.
At the end of the game, George had a gloomy face.
Because the score above is four to one. Arsenal IV, Blackburn I. Henry, who was in an amazing state, repeatedly broke through the right side guarded by McCoon and Lescott and completed a hat-trick.
