Blackburn's starting line-up for the new season is too luxurious in Arthur's opinion, and it is not inferior to any team in the current Premier League. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

First of all, in terms of formation, Mourinho basically insisted on playing 4-2-3-1, and in the three friendlies that have been played, Blackburn Rovers have played in this formation.

In goal, Friedel in the United States is of course the main choice, and the goalkeeper who won the best goalkeeper in League One last season will be a very solid link, and the replacement is young goalkeeper Giroud Robinson.

At the back, Mourinho prefers the veteran Jeff Kenner at right-back. The vice-captain has been a starter in a number of friendlies, and even after the return of Mourinho's fellow countryman Paolo Ferreira, Jeff Kenna's position is unassailable.

However, given that Jeff Kenner is over 32 years old, Paulo Ferreira will gradually occupy more playing time at right-back in the new season, and Sun Jihai will also have a lot of starts.

At centre-back, new signings Stam and Henning Berg will undoubtedly be the main partners, with Carvalho and Picole on the bench, and given Henning Berg's 33-year-old age, Carvalho, the team's third centre-back, may play more games than the captain.

Of course, Jose Mourinho has plenty of reserves in this position, with Martin Taylor, Kurtis and Lee Weifeng all good substitutes, while Carsley and Cambiaso can also make cameos.

Finnan, who returned from injury at left-back, will return to the main position, with Curtis and Sun Jihai set to be substitutes.

Competition in midfield is also fierce. If nothing else, Blackburn are close to buying Cambiaso, and his arrival is already eight or nine years old.

In the midfield position, Marcos Alonso, the best midfielder in League One last season, has already booked a place in the main team, and the other starting position will be between Cambiaso, Li Tie and Carsley.

In the attacking midfield position, the competition has reached a fever pitch. On the right flank, Mourinho used Benayoun for this game, and Gillespie had also been used before, while Sun Jihai and Simon Grayson could also play in that position.

Jose Mourinho is also happy in the no.10 position, with new signing Frank Lampard naturally a regular and in good form, having scored in the previous warm-up game against Reading, with Benayoun and David Dunn both up to the task.

On the left, Duff will clearly be a regular starter, while David Dunn and Gillespie will compete with each other as substitutes.

Up front, Ibrahimovic will be Mourinho's big killer. Despite being only 20 years old, the power of the Great Bong Son is already being revealed – Ibrahimovic scored 21 of his 19 games for Blackburn Rovers last season, an average of 1.1 goals per game.

Of course, this is also related to the low level of the English League, but in the new season against the Premier League powerhouses, the Swedes who have always been fearless are still trustworthy!

In the bench position, Drogba, who is maturing day by day, is a reliable substitute. In addition, Ben Boggs and Blackburn Academy youngster Helen Pearce can also play the center forward position, so in the formation of Mourinho playing a single striker, Blackburn's forward reserve can be said to be very sufficient.

This may be the Blackburn Rovers squad Mourinho ultimately wants, and the structure of the squad is quite reasonable. In almost every position, there are excellent substitutes and, unlike Souness, Mourinho's squad looks ready and competitive.

In the new season, Mourinho will use this squad to challenge for the championship trophy of a certain cup.

Blackburn's starting 11 predictions (4-2-3-1): Friedel/Finnam, Stam, Henning Berg, Jeff Kenna/Alonso, Cambiasso/Duff, Frank Lampard, Benayoun/Ibrahimovic

"It took me a year to finally create a lineup that satisfies me, it's not easy!" Arthur was smugly.

"But before the season starts, Stamm's affairs will have to be done a little more carefully." Ya recalls some of the not-so-glorious "black history" of Stam in his previous life.

In fact, there is another report on the transfer of Stamm that has never been announced. It was a very relevant minority report - a report on doping and illicit drugs.

Manchester United's sale of Stam to Lazio was a difficult decision for Ferguson. In addition to the club's dire financial situation and Stam's autobiography, there was also a reason for influencing him and making this decision at the time, as well as the need to avoid possible dangers.

What dangers?

That's the secret that is almost never talked about - stimulants, illegal drugs...... A cursed and hated demon that has always haunted the world of competitive sports.

Ferguson's concerns are certainly well-founded and well-founded.

Just at the beginning of the year, a series of drug scandals broke out in Dutch football. After the match against Udinese in March, Dutch midfielder Davies tested positive for doping and was subsequently confirmed to have taken the banned drug "nandrolone" - which became a major scandal for Juventus FC.

In the same month, after the UEFA Cup match against Celta, Dutch star Frank de Boer, who plays for Barcelona, was also found to have taken nandrolone during a doping test - and the doping scandal spread to Spain.

FIFA's focus is on the Dutch national team, Juventus and Barcelona.

The reputation of the Dutch football team has been severely affected - remember that the two "heavyweight" internationals who have been investigated and punished are Frank de Boer as captain of the Dutch national team and Davies as vice-captain of the national team.

The media bombarded the incident with intense coverage and traced the source of the medicine in many ways. Two Dutch internationals also defended their case, with De Boer saying he didn't know exactly what he was getting into trouble with: "I did take some kind of supplement before playing for the Netherlands, but I didn't expect the consequences to be so serious, I didn't know anything about the drugs, and no one told me there were banned ingredients. I will actively cooperate with the investigation of the Dutch Football Association's investigation committee to find out whether it is the Dutch national team or Barcelona who have gone wrong. ”

Davis, for his part, has always insisted that he has not taken any banned drugs.

Outside the Netherlands, the football world has its eyes on Juventus, which has long been implicated in doping and drug prohibition, and Barcelona, the home of Dutch players.

Since the 1980s, doping has entered the field of competitive sports on a large scale, and has continued to develop in a wider, deeper and more subtle direction. Compared to the focus of anti-doping agencies on individual events, people are not as sensitive to doping incursions in collective sports such as football, but this does not mean that doping and prohibitions are not involved.

In fact, in 1998, some reporters and fans questioned that the French team that won the World Cup that year was not "clean", and FIFA and reporters just did not have first-hand strong evidence at that time.

A year later, in 1999, Dugarry of the French team was confirmed by the drug testing department to have taken "nandrolone".

After 2001, Jean-Pierre Paclet, then the French team doctor at the time, published a new book in which he revealed that on the eve of the 1998 World Cup, "the blood tests of several French players were abnormal. Among them is Zinedine Zidane. ”

In his book, Packett wrote: "I suspect that these players have a physical problem, and they must have used special medications. I'm very worried about the team going into a scandal, especially considering that some of the players are playing in Serie A – there are hardly any clean clubs there. ”

Paraclet's words were directed at Zidane, who was playing for Juventus in Serie A at the time. It was in the summer of 2001 that Zinedine Zidane moved to Real Madrid for a record price. However, the eyes of suspicion are still pointed at Juventus.

It's no football mystery that Juventus is mired in a drug ban scandal. Zinedine Zidane and Davies are not alone, as in 1998, before the 2001 outbreak of drug banning, there were already accusations of drug use by Juventus players.

This bombshell came from an industry insider who was very familiar with Serie A - the coach of Roma at the time, Zeman.

In an interview with the Express newspaper in July 1998, Zeman said: "Football should be free from the control of drugs, and our football environment is full of all kinds of drugs. Drugs have been abused, and Italian football should rid the banned drugs and scandals. ”

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the Italian Olympic Committee immediately announced the launch of an investigation. The next day, their lawyer, Hugo Longo, met with Zeman. After the meeting, Zeman was interviewed by reporters, and another astonishing move broke out. "Between 1994 and 1998, Juventus' famous stars Vialli and Piero both experienced unnatural muscle growth, which could not have been caused by normal human training, but could only be explained by the use of banned drugs," he claimed. ”

Both Vialli and Piero categorically denied this. However, Zeman then threw out even more striking evidence: "When I was in charge of Lazio, there were people in the team who secretly used banned drugs. Although they tried to hide it from me, the results of the team's medical examination made them have nothing to hide. ”

An anti-doping storm ensued throughout Italian football, and "Hero" Zeman was in the midst of being swallowed. He finds himself like Don Quixote, helplessly battling the shady curtain that has enveloped all of Italy.

As the Italian judiciary launched an in-depth investigation, Zeman was under increasing pressure, and he was even believed to have been threatened by the mafia. In the end, the exhausted and embattled Zeman had no choice but to leave Italy.

Despite Zeman's lone hero, the anti-doping storm in Italian football has set off a shady one. Investigators found a total of 19 drugs in the Juventus infirmary, five of which were illegal - evidence is so conclusive that a trial is still elusive.

Just after the two players were found to have taken nandrolone, FIFA and the Dutch Football Association both issued fines and banned the two players. The events that happened to De Boer and Davies had a big impact on Dutch football, and the Dutch FA issued a statement that decided to immediately set up a special commission of inquiry to conduct a thorough inventory of the food of the Dutch national team.

Ferguson saw all this, so he decisively decided to purge Stam.

In fact, in October 2001, just before Arthur's predecessor, Stam was found to have taken a banned drug, or nandrolone, after just a few weeks away from Manchester United.

In the end, Stam was banned for five months and basically missed the entire season.

Although Stam has maintained a high standard after the end of his suspension, which shows that the ban has not helped his athletic ability, Arthur is not prepared to sit on the sidelines by having his powerful new signing, which has just cost £20 million, suspended.

"Tell the medical labs to warn Stamm to stop Nandrolone early." Arthur made up his mind, even if it would be unpleasant with the Dutch Football Association.

"Hehe, Manchester United can be alone because of Alex Ferguson, but what about Arsenal?" Arthur suddenly had a crooked plan in his heart that harmed others and benefited himself, but it was a conspiracy.

'Thierry Henry, Patrick Vieira, Bergkamp...... I'm your fan, but who made you my opponents? ”
