George didn't say much in the dressing room before the game began. Rather, some tactics for the game were laid out. Although Dortmund have a more glorious history than Blackburn Rovers and had a Champions League title just a few years ago. But in the face of Dortmund now, George is very sure.

So it was a simple mobilization before the game.

When George followed the team into the court, he found that Summerer was already on the court early. With blonde hair and a serious expression, Summerer stood like a statue in the middle of the court.

Seeing George come out, a smile appeared on Summer's face. Then he shook hands with George.

This is the best "free man" in German football after Beckenbauer and Baresi. Free man, this tactical style of play that has largely disappeared. Or that Samer was the last free man in German football.

Of course, this is not to say that there are no free men in German football after Summer. It's just that the later development of the free man did not go well, and the German free man tactics came to Samer for the last glory.

Beckenbauer, that's too far away. George, however, has seen how Summer, the last free man, has made a brilliant appearance at the European Championship in England. Therefore, he still retains a trace of respect for Summer.

After a brief handshake, both men followed their teams back to the bench.

"Tut-tut, the German fans are crazy."

This is the second time George has led the team to Germany. The last time was in the final round of the group stage, leading Blackburn to the Olympic Stadium in Munich to challenge Bayern Munich. However, that game was the final game of the group stage, and both sides had already qualified from the group stage. So it's completely a chicken rib game.

So I don't feel much either.

But now it's an important game in the group stage.

George shook his head as he watched the shouts of 60,000 fans at the Westfalen Stadium. The madness of the German fans is no less than that of the English fans. The Westfalen Stadium in Dortmund is a famous name in Germany.

The fan capacity is also among the highest in Germany. But there was no space in the stadium at all, it was all occupied by Dortmund fans. And from thirty minutes before the start of the game, they were already singing loudly and cheering for their team.

"It's a pity ......"

George sighed.

George sighed, not against the players and coaches of Dortmund, not for their fans, not for their team. George sighed because, despising Dortmund's management.

Borussia Dortmund are a Bundesliga powerhouse.

Borussia Dortmund has everything it takes to become a giant. They want history and strength.

Dortmund is located in the Ruhr region of North Rhine-Westphalia in western Germany and is the seventh largest city in Germany. Dortmund is an important economic and trade center for the western German state of North Rhine-Westphalia, located in the eastern part of the Ruhr region. The Ruhr River flows south of the city, and the Ames River flows through the city of Dortmund. The Port of Dortmund is the largest canal seaport in Germany and Europe.

Therefore, Dortmund is a wealthy city. Or that Germany is the richest country in Europe, and their fans have money.

In other words, Dortmund's fans want people, money, loyalty. With such a large crowd of fans, as long as Dortmund's management is not waste, then the club can be built into a German giant.

But no.

Borussia Dortmund's management doesn't know how to build a club. Borussia Dortmund, a team that wants to have results and strength, will soon decline after the management's crazy investment.

However, the current strength of Dortmund is not bad.

Dortmund went on an investment spree throughout the year. Bought three heavyweights, Rosicky, Jankoler, Amoruso. Rosicky arrived at Dortmund in the winter with the Bundesliga's all-time transfer record, and in the summer they broke that record themselves by buying Amoruso.

So Dortmund have a good attack.

But defense is a lot more problematic. Borussia Dortmund adopted a rear lineup with two old and two young. That is, the two veterans of Warnes and Coral lead the two youngsters of Metzelder and Madouni. Warnes was twenty-nine, but Coral was thirty-six by now.

Coral was the best defender in the world at his peak.

Kohler's career has been marked by accolades, and he is known as the "Plaster" because Kohler is like a piece of "Plaster" that clings to his body to the object of his targeting. Basten, one of the greatest strikers in the history of football, once said: "Coral is the hardest defender I've ever seen and scoring goals in front of him is the hardest job." ”

It's a pity that the hero is in the twilight, and now Coral has reached the age of retirement.

George's style of play in this game was clear. Since it is their backline that has holes, then of course it is necessary to break them down with attacks. George doesn't care whose home ground it is, and there are six games in the group stage. It's nothing to lose this one.

George is not worried about qualifying from the group.

As for the defense, George certainly won't ignore it. However, most of Dortmund's attack was focused on Jankoller, Amoruso, and Rosicky. Jankoller is tall and has a great header. But Campbell is not a joke, his biggest skill is the ability to head the ball. It was more than enough to defend Jankoller.

Amoruso has good speed, but Rio Ferdinand at the Blackburn backline is first-class in terms of speed and agility.

In fact, the most powerful thing about Dortmund is Rosicky, who has just transferred for half a season. However, with Deco taking care of him, and Makelle standing firmly, George is still very comfortable with his defense.

Georges just wants to beat a German team. Playing against Bayern last season, George was very aggrieved. Especially Bayern's overall style of play, which made George very depressed. This time against the German team, although the strength is not as good as Bayern, it can be regarded as a German team.

Although it was the first time he faced Dortmund, George was not polite at all. There was no tentative attack either, and a fierce attack was made at the beginning of the game.

This season's Blackburn offensive routine has changed more and more diversely.

In particular, Deco is getting more and more mature, which helps the team a lot. Deco has gradually developed into a midfielder who can attack and defend, and can step forward to help Miku when attacking, and can drop back to help Makelele when defending.

With Deco as a lubricant, Blackburn's offense and defense are getting more and more flavorful.

Summer's position was a libero when he played. He is also the best defender of the German national team, so he is also a bit conservative after becoming a manager. Emphasis on defense is followed by offense. It's a pity that the current Blackburn are not the kind of team that is overwhelmed by the defense.

At the 28th minute of the game, Piret and Miku on the left changed places. Pire, after getting the ball down the middle, cut straight into the box and then played a pass to Klose. Defending Klose was the young Metzeld, who was also Klose's national team team-mate.

It's a pity that Metzeld is only a fringe player of the German national team at this time. It is completely incomparable with Klose, the main striker of the national team.

Klose faced Metzeld, slammed a simple dunk and shot from a tight angle. Lehmann was unable to save the ball due to his vision.

"Klose, Klose! Klose is so good at his feet that he doesn't look like the header he was back then. "Mortensen is full of praise for Klose." 1-0, Blackburn Rovers are in great form right now. ”

George clapped his hands.

Pire really is the most well-rounded player. Not only can he create a lot of threats on the wings, but he can also act as an attacking playmaker if he returns to the middle. This exchange of positions between Piret and Miku can put a lot of pressure on the opposition defence.

After scoring a goal, the game was simple.

Play counter-attack, although the speed in the middle of the midfield is not good. But Duff on the flanks is a master of counter-attacking. Just before half-time, Duff received a long ball from Deco and used his speed past the Dortmund backline.

Then facing Lehmann, a shot from a small angle scored the second goal of the game.

Only then did George stand up and clench his fists. Because George knew the game was won.

"I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it. The mighty Dortmund was powerless in front of Blackburn. 2-0, Blackburn won the game completely. ”

George was just a little happy, and the excitement was far from enough. Speaking of Dortmund, it was the same evaluation among later fans. That is "an insider in the civil war, an outsider in the foreign war". This is ironic for Dortmund.

Don't look at Borussia Dortmund as a Champions League winner, but their subsequent European record is nothing compared to their domestic record. They tend to be casual with European competitions and concentrate on the league.

It can't be said absolutely, but Dortmund do have this tendency.

However, this is Dortmund's home stadium after all, and Summerr still wants to attack in the second half. However, George saw that the overall situation was decided, so he replaced Pire with Bellamy, and let Bellamy and Duff, two fast players, counterattack.

Because Blackburn's midfield pass was accurate, Dortmund couldn't get out once Bellamy came on.

While Dortmund fans have been cheering on their team. It's a pity that Dortmund is a team that has just rebuilt after all, and there is no advantage at all in the face of a strong and stable squad like Blackburn.

Until the end of the game, Dortmund did not get any chance to break the Blackburn Rovers goal.

George also gradually replaced the main players, and let the team control the tempo and not play too fast. In the first round of the group stage, it didn't look like there were any problems. It shouldn't be too much of a waste of energy.

With a 2-0 away game, Blackburn Rovers have a complete advantage in this group stage. Bumblebee, I'll beat you into a hornet's nest.
