492 Consider

"George, is this true?"

Blanco and Carl were both shocked by George's news.

As George said, although Miku is thirty-two years old, he has been injured a little more recently. But Miku's strength remains the same.

The explosive power decreases, but Miku's experience is getting more and more sufficient.

Now Miku's strength is still top-notch.

When the current Blackburn midfield began to be updated, there are many benefits to players like Miku. And as the best player in Blackburn's history, it is more perfect to retire in Blackburn.

So Blanco and Carl never thought that Miku would leave Blackburn one day.

Didn't expect it?

"Ye-huh. I have promised John. John should just want to return to France.

Blanco frowned.

Blanco and Miku played for a national team. But the friendship between the two is actually average.

Especially at that time, Blanco was a bigwig in the French national team. It's the same as De Shang and seniority. Even in other ways, even Turm, Lizalazu and Zidane are juniors in front of Blanco and dare not make a comer.

And Miku is just a very unhappy marginal player in the national team.

If Blanco hadn't come to Blackburn later, there would have been little intersection with Miku. But after arriving at Blackburn, Blanco understood Miku's position in Blackburn. Even Miku's position in the Premier League.

It can even be said that Miku is Blackburn. Speaking of Premier League art masters, people blurt out that the two names are Blackburn's Miku and Arsenal's Borgkamp.

Therefore, Blanco has always liked Miku.

Miku is a little introverted in the team and never plays big. When you play football, you are very good at working hard. If you are kicked down on the court, you will get up quickly.

Such players will be reused in any club. In addition, Miku's strength is also very strong.

Now thinking that Miku is leaving the club, neither of them knows what to say.

"Lawrent, Carl, don't spread this matter. As long as you know." Miku has always been Blackburn's first star. Blackburn fans and locker rooms have a high reputation. If he leaves, it will have a great impact on the team.

George doesn't want to spread the news.

Blanco and Carl both nodded.

Carl suddenly smiled. So is John. If you leave the club after the end of last season, that's the best. Think about it, John's last game in Blackburn was the Champions League final. How memorable it is."

George was stunned when he heard Carl's words.

Yes!

Good players should have a good ending. Just like Miku, what a wonderful story it would be if he won the Champions League final and then announced his departure from Blackburn. It will be missed by Blackburn fans for a long time.

In the last game of Arsenal's departure from Haibury in history, Henry completed the hat-trick. After the final goal, he kissed the turf of the highbury court affectionately, leaving the most classic moment. In Arsenal's more than 100 years of history, Henry's kiss must be a permanent classic.

Of course, even if you can't have a beautiful back, at least an unforgettable back is good.

Just like Zidane, retirement is also earth-shaking.

In the World Cup final, there was an iron head. Shocked the world of football.

In Carl's words, George suddenly thought that he should give Miku a farewell gift. But now it's not easy to give Miku a farewell gift.

Let's talk about the Premier League champion first. Chelsea is currently far ahead.

Lead to the point where it has made the latecomers despair.

Chelsea is already nine points ahead of Arsenal and 12 points ahead of Blackburn. The score difference is too big. Blackburn has no hope for the Premier League champion this season.

Let's talk about the UEFA Champions League, although Blackburn has appeared from the group stage.

But he drew Bayern. Of course, even if it passes Bayern, there are a lot of teams behind it. George is not sure.

Especially now Blackburn.

The combination of Lucio and Lescott is very reassuring. If it hadn't been for Van der Sar and left and right in the back, Blackburn wouldn't know how many goals he had lost. Even so, Blackburn currently has conceded the most goals among the Premier League strong teams.

At this point in the back line, George is not optimistic about his performance in the Champions League.

In addition, Blackburn's midfielder is now mostly young. Ribery and Yang Feng can't be alone. In the good European football world, it is difficult to move. Although George is arrogant, he is more self-acious.

It is difficult for Blackburn to achieve anything in the Champions League this season.

But now Miku is leaving.

George was thinking that he should see him off as a champion.

"Larent, Carl, do you think we should give John a championship this season?"

Blanco and Carl both nodded.

"Of course this is the best. But which champion should it be?"

Once you set a goal, it is natural to focus on the goal. Therefore, many clubs will have a focus.

"It should be the FA Cup!" Carl said affirmatively. George, after you come to Blackburn, you have won all the championships you can. Only the FA Cup hasn't been won yet. And now we have let go of the League Cup.

"There is no hope for a league championship. It's too difficult to win the Champions League. The FA Cup championship is the most realistic. Besides, there is also a lack of an FA Cup in Miku's honor book. With another FA Cup, Miku is also a great success in the club.

If it were other coaches, they would never say that in front of George. Because George usually seems kind, but he is also a strong coach. Even if you know that Blackburn has a small chance of winning the Champions League, no one will say it directly in front of George.

But Carl is different.

Carl and George have known each other for more than 15 years.

And the two have always been the best partners. So I don't want to talk about anything.

Blanco nodded with a smile and agreed with Carl.

"Do you all think so?"

The two didn't say anything, but George already understood.

FA Cup?

The FA Cup is still a very long-standing memory for George. Seven years ago, when George led Burnley, he won the FA Cup. After the FA Cup, George usually gives up quickly.

Is it possible to use the FA Cup to save lives this season?

............On January 20, the third round of the FA Cup began.

Blackburn is the team that participates in the Champions League. Therefore, there is no need to participate in the first and second rounds of the FA Cup. He directly participated in the third round of the FA Cup.

The opponent is Cardiff from the Championship.

From the beginning of this season, England's second division has been renamed the Champions League, and the original England third division has become the League One. In fact, the name has been changed, and nothing else has changed.

Cardiff City is also a weak team in the Champions League.

Just four years ago, Cardiff City was England's fourth-tier league team. In the past four years, they have performed well. Unexpectedly, he was able to jump from the fourth league every two years to the Championship.

Although Cardiff City is ambitious. But at present, the strength is still too low.

Although George attaches some importance to the FA Cup, after all, it is impossible to play with the main force from the third round. If that's the case, it will definitely be laughed at by other Premier League teams.

However, even if it is not all the main force, Blackburn is still strong.

Look at Blackburn's card.

Among the defenders are Bynes, Lucio, Macevili and Maicon, the midfielders are Parker, Carrick, Helib, Arshavin and Yang Feng, and the striker is Drogba.

The defense line. In order to stabilize, George used Lucio, the main defender. In addition to Drogba, they are all substitutes.

Midfielders seem to be mostly substitutes, but they are all talented young people.

Especially Yang Feng, the game with Chelsea can be said to be famous in the first game. It is so famous that it even surpassed when Rooney killed Arsenal. But George did not promote him as the main force. So far, he has only started twice in more than a dozen games. There are four other substitutes.

George is unwilling to pull out the seedlings to help.

Give Yang Feng enough time to grow up.

England is indeed not short of talented players. After a while, the English media will show a talented player. But why the final talent rate is so low, not only because many geniuses are blown out by the media. It's more because young people can't stand the praise and finally lose themselves.

So we pay great attention to the protection of Yang Feng and George.

Playing Cardiff City at home, Cardiff City works very hard.

But the strength gap is not so easy to fill. In the face of Cardiff City from the Championship, Drogba scored two goals, one goal for Arshavin and a header from Machevelli, beating Cardiff City -4 to zero.

Blackburn also naturally entered the fourth round of the FA Cup.

Only nine days later, on January 29, the fourth round of the FA Cup began.

Blackburn is lucky.

Blackburn is another home game. The opponent is weaker, from England's third-tier league team Cochester United.

Corchester United, in the league of a century-old club like England, the history is too short. It has only been 70 years since its establishment, and it was not until 50 years ago that he joined the English Football League.

Real junior.

And the grades have been poor for so many years. Up to now, he has not even entered the English Second Division, and has been swinging in the lowest league.

Now Cochester United is playing in England's fourth division.

But since George has decided to fight in the FA Cup, he will never be careless.

The FA Cup is a hotbed.

Maybe a crazy team wants to complete a dragon-killing legend.

But although he attached great importance to it, George used more substitute players this time. The main players have played too many games, and they have become old deep-fried dough sticks one by one. Unless it's some important games, some simple games, they can save effort.

Facing the team from England's fourth division, these main players must not be taken seriously.

On the contrary, those substitute players will work harder in order to perform.

That's why George chose those substitutes.

Sure enough, Blackburn's substitute is very good. He easily defeated the visiting Cochester United 3-0 at home.

After playing two FA Cup games, Blackburn entered the fifth round of the FA Cup.

But no one pays attention.

Because Blackburn's first two opponents are too weak. It is very normal to enter the fifth round of the FA Cup. And at this time, there is no real strong dialogue.

But when the draw for the fifth round of the FA Cup came out, the attention of the British football world refocused on Blackburn.
