Coaching legend

Warfare is ultimately just an off-field tactic.

Who will laugh in the end depends on the result of the game. Therefore, after George ridiculed Barcelona, ​​he still focused on training.

In fact, after ridiculing Barcelona, ​​George himself felt that it was quite meaningless. No matter how you ridicule the stains in their history, their glorious history must be acknowledged. Although the Dream Team suffered a shameful 0-4 defeat in the Champions League final.

But at least before that, they also won a Champions League title.

No matter how you gain the upper hand in the verbal battle, the history of both sides is there. In the end, it depends on the results of the game.

On November 21, the first game of the second round of the Champions League group stage started at Ewood Park.

The match with Barcelona, ​​plus the pre-match saliva, brought countless fans today. Even outside the stadium, nearly 20,000 fans were unable to get tickets.

Looking at these people, Paul Walker was more determined to build a new stadium. What are these? These fans are all white money, tens of thousands of people means millions of pounds in ticket revenue. Paul's heart was bleeding.

"Hello everyone, this is the first game of the second round of the Champions League group stage. The two teams are Blackburn and Barcelona."

"This is a very important game. This group is the death group in the second round of the Champions League group stage. Every game is very important. Let's take a look at the starting lineups of both sides."

"Barcelona's starting lineup, goalkeeper is Bonano, defenders are Coco, De Boer, Abelardo, Rezger, midfielders are Overmars, Cocu, Rochenback, Enrique, forwards are Kluivert and Rivaldo."

"Blackburn's goalkeeper is Van der Sar, the defenders are Riise, Campbell, Ferdinand, Sagnol, the midfielders are Pires, Deco, Miku, Makelele, Duff, and the forward is single striker Klose."

Both sides brought out their strongest lineups.

Although he ridiculed Barcelona severely before the game, George still fulfilled his hospitality. Waiting outside for Barcelona coach Rexach to come out and shake hands with him politely.

Carlos Rexach, a meritorious player of Barcelona. This is his third time coaching Barcelona. But the results...

Rexach watched George transfer away and shook his head.

Young coach, bad temper.

Of course, these are all small episodes. With the referee's whistle, the game officially began.

There are many strong players in the Barcelona team.

Kluivert, although he has a bad temper and is a famous bad boy in European football. But he is very strong. Just a few years ago, in the French "L'Equipe" collection of young forwards in world football, four forwards were selected by them and printed on the cover.

They are "alien" Ronaldo, "Prince of Madrid" Raul, "Zebra Prince" Piero, and the last one is Kluivert. From the side, we can also know Kluivert's strength.

There is also Rivaldo, who is currently the most powerful midfielder attacker in European football. Especially in recent seasons, he is a player who is as famous as Zidane.

Overmars, Enrique, and Cocu are all well-known players. They are all real strong players.

Only Roshenbach is considered a very young player. Fabio Roshenbach is considered one of the Brazilian players with the roughest footwork, but also one of the most motivated players. The defensive midfielder position is the stage where Roshenbach can best display his fighting ability. He can attack and defend, and has a strong sense of cooperation with the two wingers. In La Liga, Roshenbach showed strong confrontation and stealing ability. Roshenbach was also selected for the Brazilian national team in 2001 and played with the team in the Confederations Cup and America's Cup that year.

Such strong players have created the reputation of Barcelona as a strong team.

Therefore, George was very careful to carry out targeted tactics.

George attaches great importance to Barcelona in his heart. He is ready to play a tough game.

George did not attack the opponent as he did in the Premier League. Instead, he prepared to test the opponent first and then attack. But after the game started, George was stunned. Because the development of the game was completely different from what he expected.

In George's mind, Barcelona should be extremely powerful, but it did not show any momentum of a strong team at Ewood Park. Overmars, who has surpassed countless people in England, was like a kite on the left, and fell down as long as he was hit by Sagnol.

George was stunned. This was not Overmars who was as famous as Giggs in the Premier League and called the wind and rain in the Premier League.

After the game started, Barcelona was completely suppressed by Blackburn.

And Blackburn broke Barcelona's goal less than 20 minutes into the game.

In the 18th minute of the game, Klose received a long pass from Ferdinand. Facing Abelardo, he shook out the shooting angle with a simple dunk. Then a low shot scored the first goal of the game.

Abelardo is a famous Spanish central defender. Excellent sense of position, great strength, strong interception ability, and excellent header ability are all his advantages. At the same time, he is in good competitive form. When the game is in a stalemate, he can break the deadlock unexpectedly.

It’s a pity that Abelardo is old.

Abelardo is only 31 years old, but his strength has declined too fast. If it was Abelardo in his prime, it would be impossible for Klose to shake him out of an angle so easily. But now he is slow and his reaction is not good.

When Klose scored, George was very excited.

Damn, the Daily Sports newspaper completely regarded Blackburn as a country bumpkin. Now let you see the strength of our rural team.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!!!!!!!"

The commentator shouted for a long time. "Klose! Klose! This is Miro's fourth goal in the Champions League. It is also Miro's eleventh goal this season. This goal is Miro's ninety-ninth goal in his career."

Yes, Klose followed George to England. This is already the seventh season of Klose's career. Now he is about to complete his 100th goal in his career. Klose is really not a genius player.

And this 100 goals include his goals in the English League Two, the English League One, the Premier League, the League Cup, the FA Cup, the UEFA Cup, the European Super Cup, the Champions League, and the national team.

All the fans at Ewood Park were shouting Klose's name. They all hope to see Klose score the 100th goal in his career.

George didn't expect Klose's goal to come so easily.

But there was something more unexpected.

In the 33rd minute of the game, Blackburn scored the second goal of the game. Pires received a pass from Miku and successfully countered the offside on the left, easily scoring the second goal.

George really didn't expect that Barcelona, ​​who he regarded as the strongest enemy in the group, was so vulnerable.

Before the end of the first half, Blackburn was already two goals ahead.

Not only George was surprised, but even Mortensen, who was commentating on the game, was quite surprised.

"The game has only been going on for less than 40 minutes, and Blackburn is already leading 2-0 at home. Is Barcelona in bad shape, or is Blackburn in good shape?"

George had the most intuitive understanding on the sidelines. This game was definitely not about Blackburn's performance, but Barcelona's poor condition. Including Kluivert, who was at the forefront, it was like he hadn't woken up yet.

Barcelona in George's mind should be very powerful.

George never thought that Barcelona would be so weak. Barcelona would be beaten by its own team and had no temper at all.

Barcelona's midfielder, the powerful Cocu, faced the combination of Miku and Deco, and it was not obvious that they were the powerful Dutch generals.

After the game entered the second half, George thought there would be some changes. After all, falling behind by two goals should not be hurt for Barcelona. But I didn't expect that after entering the second half, Barcelona's performance was still muddleheaded, as if they hadn't woken up yet.

George looked at Rexach standing next to him. Is this head coach worthy?

Maybe Rexach was unable to control the Barcelona locker room at all?

Facing such a Barcelona, ​​Blackburn players lost their pre-match caution. Less than ten minutes into the second half, Blackburn scored another goal.

Duff faced Coco and used his speed to get past Coco. But he did not enter the penalty area, but cut inside and shot the ball, scoring the third goal of the game.

The fans at Ewood Park were jubilant.

But George felt it was meaningless. George hoped to defeat the powerful Barcelona, ​​not the Barcelona that was performing like this. George was a little disappointed. Barcelona should be extremely powerful, how could it be so vulnerable.

However, they were already three goals ahead, and George began to prepare to replace some players.

Klose on the field saw that George had already asked Drogba to warm up, and he knew that George was going to replace himself. Klose understood George's idea, after all, they would soon play Chelsea away. But Klose was unwilling to end up like this.

Now it is 99 goals, and Klose hopes to complete 100 goals in this game.

Therefore, Klose is more active than at the beginning of the game. He frequently retreated to receive the ball.

The most depressed player in this game was the young Roshenbach. Roshenbach was in the defensive midfielder position, facing the powerful Miku, and was played around by him. Miku's skills are not as good as those of the Brazilian front midfielders. The technical players of Brazil are completely artistic.

But in terms of practicality, Miku's passing is concise and effective.

All kinds of passes and passing made Roshenbach very annoyed. Now even Klose retreated to get the ball, and the breakthrough happened to be the middle road guarded by Roshenbach.

Roshenbach looked at Klose, and his eyes were full of fire. Miku bullied him, and even Klose came out to bully him.

At the 22nd minute of the second half, Klose retreated again to get the ball. Klose faced Roshenbach and accelerated to break through from his right. Roshenbach saw that Klose had strong explosive power and could not be stopped, so he made a sliding tackle from the side, trying to keep the ball in place.

Unfortunately, Klose was fast and Roschenk was unable to tackle the ball, but instead knocked Klose down.
