Blackburn Rovers have one of the best stadiums in the world in the new season, so can they match their results in the new season?

Blackburn's new stadium opener was against Manchester City and was the opening game of the 2006-07 Premier League season.

It was also the official debut of new Blue Devils coach Lippi after taking charge. Speaking at the pre-match press conference, Lippi said: "I am very happy to be back at the club and to start another journey in England. It's not an easy task for me to take Blackburn Rovers to glory, the road ahead of us will be very tough, but I'm confident of victory. The goal of the game is to get three points and have the strength to play good football! ”

Regarding the evening game, the captain of the team, Duff, was also categorical, "The coach has said that his goal for tomorrow is three points, so our players have to carry out the coach's intention, we just get three points. ”

Because it was Blackburn's first official game of the new season - the previous Community Shield was for training purposes, and Lippi didn't have all the main players in lineup. Therefore, Blackburn's starting lineup in this game is regarded by the outside world as very likely to be the main lineup of the Blue Devils in the new season.

Blackburn Rovers starting line-up (4-4-2):

Goalkeeper: Cech

Defenders: Ashley Cole, Cannavaro, Carvalho, Finnen

Midfielders: Duff, Ballack, Frank Lampard, Arjen Robben

Forwards: Didier Drogba, Cristiano Ronaldo

Facing Blackburn, who still had stars such as Alonso, Figo, Bentley and Makelele on the bench, Manchester City didn't think about winning at all, and stationed at the back as soon as they came up at the Rose Theatre Stadium.

In the 2nd minute, the Manchester City defenders pressed on Volonin when they fought for the top, the Greek referee gave a free kick, and Ronaldo shot directly at the goal, and the ball bounced off the opponent's player.

Blackburn had an absolute advantage in possession time, and in the 6th minute, Ronaldo passed a good ball to Robben on the wing, and Robben crossed Drogba on the right, but the latter's push was wide of the far corner of the fan.

City's patchwork defence gave Blackburn too much room to get on the ball. In the 12th minute, Manchester City's rare attacking opportunity was destroyed by Cannavaro, and the Italian captain saw through the opponent's intention to pass the ball.

In the 17th minute, Ballack easily got to the front with the ball and stuffed it to Robben, who gave Ronaldo's cross too close to the goalkeeper.

A minute later, Frank Lampard slipped the ball to Cristiano Ronaldo, who fired home from six yards, but the linesman's offside flag was raised.

Blackburn remains in control. In the 19th minute, Arjen Robben cut in from the right with his personal skills and handed the ball to Frank Lampard, who did not hesitate to ferry to Cristiano Ronaldo, but the ball was intercepted by a defender.

Blackburn had a good chance in the 28th minute when Duff was fed from the left by Duff past Ballack to the right, Robben dodged the scramble and crossed the middle before the follow-up Frank Lampard fired wide of the woodwork.

In the 43rd minute of the first half, Blackburn Rovers finally seized their chance, Frank Lampard passed the ball to Cristiano Ronaldo, and the Portuguese winger broke through quickly and volleyed hard after a wild run, the ball went over the Manchester City goalkeeper's ten fingers and flew straight into the net.

With this goal, Blackburn Rovers led Manchester City 1-0 at half-time.

City made a change in an attempt to counter-attack, but that only gave Blackburn more chances to score.

In the first minute of the second half, Robben managed to break through the defense, but Ballack's inserted shot hit the shoulder of the opposing defender and bounced off the bottom line.

In the 57th minute, Duff sent in a clever pass, but Drogba couldn't capitalise on his chance, and his header was blocked by Duches.

Four minutes later, Blackburn made a series of small combinations, Robben received a pass from Cristiano Ronaldo and shot at goal, but unfortunately the ball hit the side-netting.

At this time, the game showed a stalemate, and the score of 1:0 was the most unsafe score, but no one has been able to stand up to break the deadlock. Blackburn Rovers are suffering just as much as Manchester City.

In the 77th minute, Lippi made a change, bringing on Bentley for Duff, who had attended the opening of the new stadium the day before, and Cambiasso replaced Ballack to strengthen the team's defence.

Less than three minutes after Cambiaso was on the pitch, the Argentine broke the ball at the back and played a long ball to Robben's feet with precision despite the opponent's reluctance.

Peter Pan broke down the flank and quickly pulled it wide for Frank Lampard, who managed to attract the opposition defence and suddenly distributed the ball to Bentley, who was cutting in at high speed on the left.

Bentley picked up the ball on the baseline and shook off the opposition left-back's ferocious press, and then quickly got up and crossed.

City's two centre-backs are top-notch players with high ball ability, but this time they face African monster Didier Drogba and Cristiano Ronaldo, who has a strong ability to stay in the air and have a high stomach.

Cristiano Ronaldo grabbed the first point in front of the Manchester City defenders, but the arc of the ball has not been fully stretched, and the angle of the direct shot is a little small, which may not pose much threat to the goalkeeper, unless Ronaldo can top a header similar to the unbelievable arc scored by Mexico against Italy in 2002.

But superstars like Cristiano Ronaldo and Ibrahimovic can sometimes make art on the pitch with a flash of inspiration.

At the last moment, Ronaldo tilted his head slightly and let the ball pass in front of his head, and the Manchester City defenders couldn't react at all, so they had to watch the football pass in front of them.

Originally, the Manchester City goalkeeper saw that Ronaldo was very clever to grab the first point of Bentley's cross, and was focusing all his attention on Ronaldo, ready to make a save.

But he didn't expect Ronaldo to leak this pass, and the panicked Manchester City goalkeeper hurriedly turned his head to look at the other side of the goal, which was already an empty goal, and saw a figure flashing in front of him.

2:0！

Blackburn Rovers sealed the win of the game completely!

At this time, the replay on the four large screens of the Rose Theater showed that all the fans saw the football conceded by Ronaldo and let Drogba push his butt into the opponent's goal.

With Didier Drogba's hard-to-replicate goal, Blackburn beat Manchester City 2-0 to win the first three points of the new league season, win the opening game of the new stadium and get Lippi off to a good start in charge of Blackburn.

However, whether Lippi can continue the glory of Jose Mourinho's reign at Blackburn Rovers is far from being answered. (To be continued.) )
