Chapter 236 Reasons for staying (Part 2)

Unconsciously, it is Christmas again.

George has no opinion on Christmas and no interest in it. George never believes in Jesus or God. Although the incredible soul displacement has occurred, George is still a materialist.

Of course, even if George wants to believe in religion, Hongjun Laozu and Sanqing are in the front. It is not his turn to believe in God.

But after all, he is British now, so he follows the local customs and celebrates Christmas.

This Christmas, George is in a good mood. At this time last year, George had just rebounded from the downturn not long ago. Although the results are still good, they are far from what they are now. Now George is leading Blackburn and has the hope of competing for the Premier League championship in the Premier League.

And Blackburn has now entered the top 16 of the League Cup. The players under him are becoming more and more mature, and the team's cooperation is becoming more and more tacit.

Anyway, there is constant good news.

Therefore, George had a very comfortable Christmas this winter.

But just after Christmas, George can't rest. On December 26, Blackburn will face Chelsea at home.

Chelsea's performance is not good. It has been half a season so far. It is still ranked sixth in the Premier League.

As a team that competed with Manchester United and Arsenal for the Premier League title last season, Chelsea's performance this season is much worse. Of course, it is not all bad, but it feels a bit nervous.

So far this season, their best game is the game against Manchester United.

In the tenth round of this season, Chelsea beat Manchester United 5-0 at home. It can be said that such a score is very rare in Ferguson's coaching career, especially when Manchester United is so strong this year, it is not an easy thing.

It shocked the English football world at that time, but it was just a flash in the pan. Chelsea's performance was very poor afterwards, and they lost two games in a row recently. First, they were beaten 4-1 by Sunderland in the 17th round, and then they were beaten 2-0 by Leeds United.

However, Chelsea's performance in the Champions League is still good. But the performance in the Champions League cannot cover up Chelsea's current decline in the Premier League.

"In just one year, Chelsea and Blackburn have completely changed. Last season, Chelsea, led by Vialli, finally won the third place in the Premier League. Although it failed to hold on to the end, it has always been the third pole after Manchester United and Arsenal."

"Blackburn just changed its coach last season and did not win a single game in the first ten rounds of the season. It was later that Blackburn struggled to earn points and finally won a place in the League Cup."

"But a year later, Chelsea's performance has declined so much. Not only are there two strong teams, Manchester United and Arsenal, above Chelsea. Even Blackburn, Leeds United and Liverpool are ranked above Chelsea."

"Chelsea has only played 16 games so far, but has lost 6 games and drawn 3 games. Blackburn has played 17 games and ranks third in the Premier League. Things are unpredictable. Blackburn has already shown the momentum of a strong team in the Premier League. The aging of Chelsea players is getting worse and worse."

"In recent games, both teams have the task of European competitions. But Blackburn is at ease in fighting on two fronts, while Chelsea has lost two games in a row. Blackburn just defeated Sunderland 2-0, which defeated Chelsea 4-1 in the previous round."

Before the game started, the commentator began to introduce the recent situation of the two teams.

Judging from the recent situation, Blackburn is obviously in better shape than Chelsea.

In fact, Chelsea has a bigger problem now. That is, Vialli can't suppress the Chelsea locker room at present, and has a bad relationship with several big guys in the locker room. Including Leboeuf and Desailly on the back line, Vialli is almost at odds with him.

Several midfield generals are also not convinced by the head coach. The conflict between Ferrer and Petrescu even appeared in football news every day.

George was very "friendly" in supporting Vialli before the game. "Vialli is a good player and a good coach. I support coach Vialli to continue coaching Chelsea. He should use tougher means to manage the locker room. Today's players are too arrogant."

However, Vialli did not say thank you for George's support. Instead, he told George that he knew how to manage his team.

George did not choose Bellamy in this game. It was okay to face Sunderland's unsophisticated defender. If it was facing Chelsea's experienced full-backs such as Ferrer and Le Saux, Bellamy would not have played very well.

No one expected George's choice. George chose Hargreaves.

Hargreaves played as a right winger, and George prepared to defend on the right. Facing Zola, defense is not easy. Sun Jihai alone is absolutely impossible to complete the defensive task. Of course, there is another meaning, that is, Hargreaves defends and gives Sun Jihai space. Let Sun Jihai be able to insert and cross.

Although Sun Jihai's crosses cannot be compared with Sagnol's, they are definitely not outrageous. His crosses are also very distinctive and very threatening.

This is at home, and they are facing Chelsea, which has had a poor performance recently. So after the opening, Blackburn took the initiative.

Blackburn originally played a pressure style. In particular, the control of the midfield was unprecedentedly strong, using strong control to oppress the opponent. In addition to the two wingers that needed to be pulled apart, the most important person in the offense was Miku.

Miku controlled the direction and quality of the offense.

Fortunately, Miku has fully adapted to the Premier League. After receiving the ball, he would not look at it first and then pass it. And he has enough knowledge of the collision with English players. Therefore, he played in the midfield position with ease.

Even if someone was against Miku, Miku could calmly get rid of the pass or shoot after passing.

In the 27th minute of the game, Deco's pass was handed to the retreating Klose.

"... Klose, he missed it... Miku, Miku got the ball. Klose missed this ball so beautifully."

Klose saw Deco's ball, but did not receive it, but missed it directly. Then he turned around and started running into the penalty area. No one expected Klose's leak. Miku did not stand to receive the ball, but turned from the left with a flick of his right foot and passed Weiss directly.

Then, without the slightest hesitation, he passed the ball straight to the middle.

"Miku... Klose got the ball!"

Miku's pass followed Klose's running route as if it had eyes and came to Klose's feet.

"Klose, he got the ball... facing Desailly, dribbled the ball with his left foot... he dribbled past Desailly and shot!"

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

"Klose, it's the performance of a top shooter."

"Who dares to say that Klose's skills are rough? Klose's very simple dribbling just now actually dribbled past Desailly. Klose has grown into the best striker in the Premier League."

"This is Klose's tenth goal in the Premier League. Klose's number of goals in the league has exceeded double digits for the first time."

The commentator was very excited to see Klose receive the ball from Miku, dribbled it lightly with his left foot, and then scored with his right foot.

The fans at the scene even shouted Klose's name.

Klose raised his hands and waved at Miku. The tacit cooperation between the two was a major means of Blackburn's attack.

Vialli on the sidelines was very dissatisfied when he saw Desailly being dribbled past by Klose so easily. He waved his hands and loudly accused Desailly. But Desailly just glanced at Vialli on the sidelines and ignored him.

The director in charge of the broadcast happened to capture this scene.

"It seems that Chelsea's locker room is worse than we thought." The commentator did not expect that Desailly would openly not give Vialli face on the court.

After scoring a goal, Blackburn did not stop.

When the game was in the 39th minute, Hargreaves covered Sun Jihai on the right. Sun Jihai received a long pass from Deco and made a cross to the Chelsea penalty area.

"...Sun...Klose, he pressed Desailly and headed the ball!"

"Beautiful, De Huye did not react at all."

After Klose headed the ball, he kept looking at the route of the ball. Klose didn't start running until he found out the ball had gone in.

"Desailly, he was humiliated twice by a junior in this game."

"Klose, Klose! This is his eleventh goal in the Premier League this season."

"Klose told Gudjohnsen why George left him instead of Gudjohnsen." The commentator laughed as he watched Klose running past Gudjohnsen.

But this was just the commentator's own words, Klose had never thought about it. Klose didn't even notice Gudjohnsen next to him.

In Klose's heart, he felt guilty about both Kevin Phillips and Gudjohnsen. He felt that he was able to defeat them and become the main force because of George. So when Gudjohnsen arrived at Chelsea and hinted that he was more qualified to be the main force of Blackburn than Klose, Klose didn't refute it.

Gudjohnsen's performance this season was not bad either, and he had already scored eight goals at Chelsea.

But the commentator didn't care about that and continued to talk at his own leisure. "Klose, tell everyone how wise George's choice is. Klose told everyone that the main position of Blackburn was not given by George, but by his own strength."

"Klose did not respond to Gudjohnsen's accusation. Because he wanted to respond with his own goals."

If Klose heard it, he would definitely vomit blood. This was not Klose's idea at all.

For Chelsea, George did not stay, and Deco scored another goal in the second half. In the end, Chelsea was defeated 3-0.

"Chelsea is no longer in the same level as Blackburn. In this game, it was completely under Blackburn's control from the beginning to the end. It's time for Chelsea to rebuild."
