Chapter 346 Who can stop it?

After the Community Shield ended, the Premier League started soon.

In Europe, the Premier League always starts the earliest. On August 18, the Premier League was the first to start.

Blackburn faced Derby County away. Derby County has had good luck in the past few seasons and has always been able to successfully stay in the league in the final stage. However, it is weak and can only stay in the Premier League with a bit of luck.

Although the game resumed after a three-month break, Blackburn players did not feel uncomfortable at all.

Facing Derby County away, with Pires's double goal, they defeated Derby County 2-0.

Facing Derby County, Blackburn was a completely strong performance. Although they only won two goals, Derby County only had two shots in the whole game. And these two shots were not within the goal range.

But the opponent was too weak, so there was no surprise.

Arsenal even won Middlesbrough 4-0 away. Manchester United also defeated Fulham 3-2 at home, and Liverpool defeated West Ham United 2-1.

On August 23, a major event appeared just after the Premier League started.

Blackburn faced Manchester United at home.

Manchester United's lineup has also changed a lot this season. Ferguson was a little angry after losing the Premier League title last season. Or he was very dissatisfied with Blackburn, a newly rising team.

So this season Ferguson spent a lot of money to buy many players.

Including buying Woodgate from Leeds United for 13 million pounds, buying "King of the Penalty Zone" Van Nistelrooy from Eindhoven for 19 million pounds, buying Wizard Veron from Lazio for 28 million pounds, and buying Fran from Argentina for 6 million pounds.

A series of actions, Ferguson spent a full 70 million pounds on Manchester United.

Van Nistelrooy has been rumored to be with Manchester United for many years. Last season, Manchester United almost got Van Nistelrooy, but because Van Nistelrooy was injured, it was not possible.

Ruud van Nistelrooy is a sharpshooter, a goal-scoring machine in the Eredivisie. In PSV Eindhoven, he scored almost one goal per game. There were many European giants interested in Ruud van Nistelrooy, but Ferguson got there first.

As for Veron, there is no need to mention it.

Veron is one of the best midfielders in the world. Especially in Lazio, Veron grew into a world-class superstar. Otherwise, Ferguson would not have spent 28 million pounds to buy Veron. With Veron's arrival, people generally believe that Manchester United's midfield strength will be improved.

The biggest star to leave Manchester United is the Dutch defender Stam. Stam said in his autobiography that Ferguson had illegal private contact with him when he bought him from PSV Eindhoven. In addition, Stam also revealed some secrets of the Manchester United locker room.

This angered Ferguson.

In a rage, Ferguson sold Stam to Lazio.

Stam didn't even know that he had gone to Lazio. It wasn't until the transfer was finalized that Stam realized that he was not a Manchester United player. It seems absurd, but it is true.

Ferguson did not discuss or tell Stam about the sale of Stam.

Instead, he negotiated with Lazio directly through Stam's agent and settled Stam's transfer in a short time. Stam's agent is also very powerful. He did not discuss with Stam at all and settled his transfer.

After selling Stam, Ferguson found that he lacked a central defender. So in a hurry, he bought Woodgate from Leeds United. Since the injury incident with Bowyer, Woodgate's state at Leeds United has always been bad.

But Woodgate is still the best defender in England at this time.

If the injury incident had not occurred, Woodgate would have been able to join the national team long ago. He could even compete with Ferdinand for the position of the main player in the national team.

As for Fran, historically, Ferguson won him in the winter transfer of this season. But now it is half a season early.

If we only look at the cards, Manchester United's strength has increased a lot.

At Ewood Park, Ferguson arranged a 4-5-1 formation. The midfield was composed of Veron, Keane, and Scholes, and the two wingers were composed of Giggs and Beckham. There was only one forward, Van Nistelrooy.

Keane and Veron were slightly behind, while Scholes was in front.

The defense was composed of Gary Neville, Brown, Woodgate, and Sylvester.

On paper, Manchester United was really strong. Except that the defense was slightly weak.

Manchester United's defense was indeed very unstable. Barthes was not the best goalkeeper, or an unstable goalkeeper. In the first round of the game, their defense was already unstable.

Facing Fulham, a newly promoted team, they actually lost two goals.

Fortunately, they won the game, so no one said anything.

But after arriving at Ewood Park, George completely exposed Manchester United's paper defense to everyone.

Veron was very strong, there was no doubt about that. But Veron had just arrived in the Premier League and was still unfamiliar with the pace of the Premier League. Facing the attack of Blackburn's three midfielders, he was completely at a loss. Coupled with the problems of Manchester United's defense, Manchester United could not stop Blackburn's attack.

Just eight minutes into the game, Klose, the top scorer in the Premier League last season, received a cross from Sagnol and beat Brown to score the first goal of the game.

But this is just the beginning.

At the 22nd minute of the game, Duff received a pass from Miku and went straight in to score the second goal of the game.

At the 37th minute of the game, Miku dribbled past Woodgate in the penalty area and scored the third goal of the game.

At the end of the first half, Blackburn was already leading Manchester United 3-0 at Ewood Park. This score stunned everyone. Even Mortensen, who was commentating on the game, was surprised when he was commenting.

So much so that Mortensen sighed at the end of the first half: "I don't know if Blackburn is too strong or Manchester United is too weak. Or maybe this world is too crazy."

But Blackburn's dominance did not end.

At the 12th minute of the second half, Campbell, who had just joined Blackburn, scored the fourth goal of the game with a header in a corner attack.

Manchester United was stunned by Blackburn.

Or Ferguson did not stand up at all in the second half, but sat in his seat with a blank expression. But it was still his signature move, chewing a bubble bubble in his mouth.

The fans at Ewood Park were crazy.

Although they won the Premier League title last season. But in the penultimate round to lock the championship, Blackburn didn't play well. If it weren't for Miku's breakthrough shot at the last moment, it would have been impossible to tie Manchester United.

This has always been a thorn in their throats.

Now that they are leading Manchester United by such a large score, Blackburn fans are so happy that they are about to faint.

Manchester United was humiliated this time. Blackburn scored four goals at Ewood Park. This is a shameful record that has never happened in the history of Blackburn and Manchester United. And since George and Ferguson confronted each other, this is the first time that Ferguson has been defeated so happily.

In the 27th minute of the second half, Klose received a pass from Miku, successfully countered the offside, and scored his second goal of the game.

Fortunately, before the end of the game, Van Nistelrooy, who had just transferred, scored a face-saving goal. However, Manchester United was still beaten by Blackburn with a humiliating score of 5 to 1 at Ewood Park.

5 to 1, a bloody score.

Ferguson looked a little ugly, but he did not lose his composure. Even though the game was lost like this, he still came over to shake hands with George before leaving the stadium.

Seeing Ferguson, George still admired him. Compared with his performance after Wenger scored eight goals, Ferguson was much calmer. This is the psychological quality. However, looking at the dejected Manchester United players, George smiled gloatingly.

Ferguson's nickname "hair dryer" is not false. Ferguson will definitely go crazy in the locker room.

5 to 1, after the game, all media reports focused on this game.

It was really unexpected.

Everyone admits that Blackburn is stronger this season. But what kind of team is Manchester United? It is the team that has won the Premier League championship five times in nine seasons since the establishment of the Premier League, and it is also the only Premier League club that has won the Champions League since the establishment of the Premier League. It is the undisputed overlord of the Premier League.

But it was beaten by Blackburn with five goals.

However, Blackburn has not celebrated yet, and it will usher in the third round of the Premier League.

Just two days later, on August 25, Blackburn will face Tottenham Hotspur at home.

Two days ago, Blackburn, who defeated Manchester United, continued their good form.

And George did not give Daniel any face. Playing Tottenham at home, he even beat Tottenham four goals. It turned out that Tottenham, who had a good defense after Graham, now has a lot of loopholes in its defense. This is related to the departure of their captain Campbell from Tottenham this season.

Campbell has always been the mainstay of the Tottenham club's defense.

Now that Campbell is gone, their defense has too many loopholes.

George will not stay at all, and he has seized such a defensive loophole. Although half of the main players and half of the substitutes played, Tottenham was still beaten.

2-0, 5-1, 4-0, the eye-catching records of the three games stunned everyone. All the media in the English football world were shocked. In the past half month, half of the football news in the media was about Blackburn.

Blackburn's state since the beginning of this season is really terrible. It's so outstanding that it surprised everyone.

The Daily Telegraph wrote a big headline on the football page: Who can stop Blackburn?
