After scoring two goals, the morale of Blackburn's side was boosted.

Two to one, overtaking the score. Many Blackburn players also breathed a sigh of relief.

Mom, in the last game, more than 20 shots on goal failed to score, which made many players depressed. The game was inexplicably behind at the beginning, which made the Blackburn players feel even more disappointed.

It's an inexplicable emotion. If this sentiment spreads, don't talk about this game, it will also be affected in the future. Fortunately, Blackburn equalized in time and overtook the score in time.

Now that the score has been overtaken, all the players are relieved.

The game restarted and Blackburn easily controlled the tempo.

After taking the lead, Alonso also retreated. Control the tempo right in the backcourt. When Alonso controlled the tempo, Monaco's attack was like rootless duckweed. Because Monaco's midfielders couldn't control the ball, Gyuli and Roten went back and forth to no avail.

And Blackburn retracted, instead there was more room for passing and breaking.

George finally put his mind at ease on the sidelines.

It looks like this important game should be able to be won. George used to play in the group stage, one hit and one accurate.

Even after entering the group of death, in the group stage, Blackburn has always been at the top of the table. It's easy to show up. didn't expect this season's Champions League group stage, but Blackburn was so uncompetitive.

George said that it is absolutely impossible to say that there is no pressure at all.

Now Blackburn Rovers need results. If even the Champions League group stage cannot be played at this time, then the team's financial problems will be serious. Fortunately, now it seems that the game can be won.

In the second half, Blackburn Rovers played unhurriedly. Monaco tried to attack, but were easily beaten back by Blackburn.

Sixty-nine minutes into the game, midfielder Essien stole Giuli's ball and handed it directly to Miku in front. This time Miku didn't pass to the middle, but to the wing. Sagnol on the right cut in at high speed and then an accurate cross. Drogba beat Squillaci and scored Blackburn's third goal of the game with a flicked header.

It was also Drogba's second goal of the game.

"Drogba, it's Drogba!"

"Didier Drogba scored twice and sealed the win!"

"Didier Drogba is in his fifth season at Blackburn. From being a famous rough brother in the Premier League at the beginning, to now becoming a sharp knife in Blackburn's attack, Drogba's progress is truly admirable. Drogba is now proficient in headers and long-range shots. There's even a set of free kicks. ”

"If he can improve his goalscoring efficiency, then he is a world-class centre-forward. But now George has a headache. ”

"Klose, Drogba, who to choose to be the main force. It's a sweet annoyance to have two strikers so good. ”

Martin. Taylor spoke highly of Drogba. In Martin. In Taylor's view, Drogba and Klose are now completely a striker of the same level. Both are now world-class strikers.

George clapped his hands with Blanco next to him.

With a 3-1 win over Monaco, Blackburn Rovers are still in a good position to qualify from the group.

But before George could be happy, he frowned again.

After conceding the goal, Monaco was no longer burdened. They had already lost by two goals anyway, so they started attacking fiercely.

Just four minutes before Drogba's goal, Monaco's pass from the back was handed to Giuli. At this time, Hargreaves in the midfield stepped forward and faced Gyuli with a sliding tackle. Kicked the ball off the touchline very cleanly.

There were no foul moves, it was very clean.

But before he could get the applause, Hargreaves lay on the ground and did not get up.

"Hargreaves, it looks like he's wounded. I just got up after the sliding shovel, and I haven't gotten up until now. ”

"Let's look at the return visit. Hargreaves and Gyuli didn't collide physically, this was just Hargreaves strained himself when he tackled. I don't know where the injury is? ”

It's a rainy day and it's easy to strain. George saw Hargreaves as a tackle injury and thought it was a thigh strain. After all, this kind of slippery field, falling to the ground to tackle, it is easy to strain the thigh.

The team doctor stepped forward to check it out and shook his head at George. Then he made a gesture to make a substitution.

As he passed by George, he whispered to George. "Owen has a knee ligament injury. It's serious, it's very serious. ”

George was shocked.

A thigh strain is already a very difficult injury to treat. Now it is said that it is a knee injury.

Knee ligaments, that's no ordinary minor injury.

This is a very vulnerable place in the human body, or once this place is strained, it is not a small problem.

Hargreaves, George is quite dependent. Ever since Makelele left Blackburn, George has been a heavy player in Hargreaves. Even for Hargreaves, even Essien was firmly pressed on the bench.

Because of this incident, Allen's kid has been looking for George many times. But George never let up.

Essien has excelled in Ligue 1 and it is now unknown how many clubs are interested in him. Allen wants to turn Essien into another cash cow for himself. But since returning to Blackburn, Essien has been nailed to the bench by George.

As a result, Essien's salary is the lowest salary at Blackburn.

This made Alan quite dissatisfied.

But George wasn't embarrassed at all. After all, George is the head coach of the club, and whoever is strong and performs well should be the main force.

Hargreaves is only a year older than Essien, but far better than Essien.

Defensively, offensively, and running, they are far better than Essien now. George was very fond of Hargreaves. Hargreaves is a tough guy and has a lot of passion on the field. As long as you put Hargreaves on the pitch, you can see him anywhere on the pitch.

In addition, Hargreaves is an English player and has a strong appeal among fans. George even thought about straightening Hargreaves completely. Make Hargreaves the absolute core of the team. And give Hargreaves the position of captain.

At such an important moment, Hargreaves turned out to be a knee injury.

George can only replace Hargreaves with Essien.

The Monaco players were not at all elated by Hargreaves' departure. Instead, they smiled wryly. Because they saw Essien, the beast who once dominated the French League. Essien's strength, they remember it well.

Seeing Essien come off the bench, Deschamps could only smile wryly.

If Essien were in Ligue 1, no matter what club it was, he would be an absolute mainstay. Essien is such a good midfielder, but at Blackburn Rovers he is just a substitute. This makes those Ligue 1 clubs embarrassed.

That's the difference between the two teams. That's the strength of Blackburn's strong team.

The game was uneventful.

Blackburn Rovers ended up winning 3-1 at home to Monaco. Although there were some surprises in the game, there was no suspense on the whole.

"Blackburn Rovers finally got their first win in the Champions League group stage. Three-to-one, Blackburn swept away the gloom and walked out of the shadow of the first two games. At the end of three games, Blackburn have four points, while Monaco have six points. ”

In the other game just ended, PSV Eindhoven won 2-1 away at AEK Athens. In this group, Monaco and PSV Eindhoven both have six points, Blackburn Rovers have four points and AEK Athens has one point. ”

"After the draw, everyone thought Blackburn had booked a spot. The remaining one is Monaco or PSV Eindhoven, but I didn't expect the situation in this group to be a bit confusing. ”

After the game, Martin. Taylor summed up the game.

Although the situation in the group stage is very chaotic. But George was satisfied. There are still three games left, and as long as there are no mistakes in these three games, there will certainly be no problem with showing up.

And now Drogba is getting better and better.

With Drogba, you can form a good competition with Klose. And Drogba's control in the front court is also a rich complement to Blackburn's style of play.

If the only grievance is Hargreaves' injury.

"How's it going?"

In his previous life, Hargreaves was a glass man. Therefore, George paid attention to Hargreaves' physique. In the past few seasons, George has paid the most attention to Hargreaves at the club. Blackburn's team doctor had to thoroughly check Hargreaves' body almost every once in a while.

This is what George asked.

If something is wrong with Hargreaves, George wants to be able to find out about Hargreaves' problem early.

However, Hargreaves has not found any problems in recent seasons.

George thinks he has a traverser plug-in. Hargreaves was a gift from heaven. I didn't expect to be injured.

"Knee ligament strain. According to the current situation, it is necessary to take a three-month rest at least. ”

Hargreaves had already been taken to a nearby hospital. George was asking Hargreaves' attending doctor.

"Knee ligament strain?"

George frowned. As a football coach, George certainly understands what it means to have a ligament strain? In fact, some small strains only need half a month and twenty days to recover. But there are some big injuries, and even a year of rest is not enough.

Now that we say three months, it's already a blessing in misfortune.

"It's not going to be repeated, is it?" The most taboo thing about this kind of injury is repetition.

The attending doctor shook his head.

"Owen's physique is different from everyone else. Knees, more fragile than others. That is, there is a higher chance of being injured than others. A ligament strain, which is likely to become his habitual injury. But don't worry, we'll do our best to keep his injuries from happening. ”

George nodded.
