No matter how tired the Blackburn players were, the Premier League started as scheduled. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

On August 23, the 04-05 Premier League season officially began.

Speaking of the opening stages of the season, the schedule was not very good for Blackburn. Although the first two rounds were against West Bromwich Albion and Southampton, the two weak teams, but then in the third and fourth rounds, they will play Arsenal and Manchester United in succession.

Arsenal were the best team in the Premier League last season.

Manchester United's results last season were poor. But this season United have stepped up their investment.

Ferguson has three key acquisitions this season. From the sworn enemy Leeds teamed up, dug up Alain. Smith.

Alain, who used to keep saying that he would be loyal to Leeds United. Smith, who turned down offers from countless clubs, turned it out to be to the sworn enemy Manchester United. He also became Leeds United's biggest traitor. For Alain. Smith, Manchester United paid a transfer fee of seven million pounds.

Later, Ferguson brought in Argentine defender Heinze from Paris Saint-Germain for 7 million pounds.

These two transfers are not huge, but these two players are strong players.

And Manchester United's biggest move this summer is the introduction of Wayne Rooney.

At the age of eighteen, Wayne Rooney has become the best player in England. Especially in this European Championship, he scored four goals and became England's best player. Everton even put a £50 million price tag on Wayne Rooney.

Of course, yes.

In the end, Manchester United spent £31 million on the transfer fee to buy Wayne Rooney, England's future. There are also a number of add-ons, which, if all met, would cost Rooney £39 million at that time.

With the purchase of Rooney, Ferguson's third generation of the Red Devils began to take shape.

The schedule is really not very good for Blackburn. Blackburn, in particular, are currently in poor pre-match preparation, with a slightly weaker opponent in the first two games. But Manchester United, Arsenal, these are all strong opponents in the Premier League. Although George is not afraid of them, but it is really not a good schedule for George to meet strong teams so early and in a row.

………… In the first round of the Premier League, Blackburn Rovers hosted West Bromwich Albion.

West Bromwich Albion are a promoted horse. They have limited quality and staying in the Premier League at the end of the season is their goal this season.

Like all promoted horses, their style of play is simple. Or it is a feature, that is, a long pass and a hanging. And the England team's long pass rush relies on the physicality of their players.

They're great players, they can run and crash.

They play with speed.

The ball flew around in the air.

However, Blake could have been a little unafraid of this kind of Premier League team. Although the Premier League has developed a lot over the years, there are many different styles of play in the Premier League. However, the teams in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League still retain the traditional style of play of the Premier League. Over the years in the Premier League, Blackburn have come across teams who don't know how many of them play this way.

Therefore, George was very calm against West Bromwich Albion.

Such a promoted horse will have great ambitions when he first arrives in the Premier League. So even against a Premier League powerhouse like Blackburn, they are not afraid. It's a good fight.

But after all, the strength is insufficient.

In the twenty-seventh minute of the first half, Blackburn had a 1-0 lead over West Bromwich Albion thanks to Drogba's goal. It's very relaxing.

The game was developed exactly according to George's ideas.

George was also reluctant to push West Bromwich Albion too hard. Because the Blackburn players had a lot of stamina, George wanted to solve the fight in the simplest and easiest way.

But things never go their own way.

Towards the end of the first half, there was an accident.

Faced with West Bromwich Albion's cross, Campbell stepped forward to head the ball, not expecting to collide with the opposing striker and fall to the ground. Then he got up and ran two steps, touched the area near his thigh, and sat down. He made a substitution gesture to George.

A lot of players, because they played too many games. He is also very experienced with injuries.

They were able to give a rough estimate of their injuries. Even if it's not as accurate as those doctors, at least they know what their injuries will look like.

Therefore, before the team doctor passed, he made a substitution, indicating that the players themselves were more or less aware of their injuries.

George waited anxiously.

Soon the team doctor brought Campbell into the game. Campbell limped, and if you just looked at it from the outside, you couldn't tell how serious the injury was. It's not like Sagnol, and I couldn't walk at the time. A stretcher is required.

"How's it going?"

George grabbed the team doctor.

Campbell has always been a fixture in Blackburn's backline. Whether it's partnered with Rio Ferdinand or Lucio, Campbell is very stable. Especially with Lucio, because Lucio is willing to step forward. So it's always Campbell protecting the back. And it's done perfectly.

Blackburn has been able to get good results in recent years, and Campbell's role has been huge.

"George, you have to be prepared. He had a groin injury, which at first glance looked serious. ”

George chuckled in his heart.

Why unlucky things, always find themselves.

Groin injury, this injury can be big or small. In the original history, Kaka has never been able to return to his peak form after a groin injury. And the time for the comeback has been delayed again and again.

However, because he wanted to continue the game, George was unable to ask in detail.

Lescott came on in place of Campbell.

The game was not a big problem, and in the second half, thanks to Pire's goal, Blackburn Rovers stretched the score to 2-0.

The first round of the Premier League was won.

But George was not happy at all. Because of the post-game examination, Campbell's injury was worse than George expected. The doctor gave two options: conservative treatment and surgery.

Conservative treatment and the ability to continue to participate in the competition. Just take a short break.

And once the operation, then at least half a year of rest.

However, conservative treatment is tantamount to giving up the best opportunity for treatment. It is quite possible that Campbell's professional life will be completely over. Campbell is only thirty years old now, and as a defender, he still has four or five years to play.

So Campbell is leaning towards surgery. At the very least, you can recover, and you can have a few years of professional life.

George was not forced.

It's just the start of the Premier League. At this time, there are no very important games, and you can't just let Campbell have surgery for some Premier League games.

But at the thought that Campbell was going to rest for more than half a year, George almost burst into tears.

Mommy's, half a year?

Sagnol has been injured for more than five months and has not been able to return. Now Campbell is seriously injured again, and it's really bad.

George suddenly regretted it. Why re-loan Kompany to Anderlecht. Now that Campbell is injured, Blackburn has only three players at centre-back, including Lucio, Lescott and his own Academy player Macedeverly.

With the exception of Lucio, neither Lescott nor Macedeverly could reassure George.

George touched his forehead.

However, after hearing that Campbell was going to have surgery, I don't know how many people in English football were happy.

Mark, who hasn't been seen for a long time. This time, Laurentian finally jumped out.

"Blackburn is crazy. Paul. Walker is crazy, John. Williams is crazy, George. Levy is also crazy. They are on one of the biggest ventures of all, to build the best luxury stadium in England and all of Europe. ”

"They're crazy about this stadium. They don't give up any opportunity to make money, and in order to earn tens of millions of pounds, they go around Asia. Five games in half a month, even an iron man can't stand it. And quite a few of their players have also played in the European Championships. ”

"Look, it went wrong in the first game. Campbell was injured. And it's a very serious injury. ”

"If Blackburn hadn't paid attention, this kind of thing would have continued."

This time George didn't have much energy to talk to Mark. Laurentian fights with words.

Now the heart of the backline, Campbell is down. George can only be the partner of Lescott and Lucio, but the partner of the two, George, is not strong in any way. Lucio has changed a lot, but he is still a little reckless.

Not to mention Lescott.

Completely incomparable to Campbell. Now George has a headache for this, where is the time to refute Mark. Laurenson.

And Mark. Laurenson's words, George mostly agreed. Campbell played nearly fifty games for the club last season and nearly ten for the national team. Coupled with the fact that he went to Asia with Blackburn this time, it is likely that his injury is due to this reason.

It's not just Mark who criticizes Blackburn. Laurentian alone. Many media outlets share the same view.

They all believe that because of a trip to Asia, Blackburn has not been able to prepare well for the new season at all.

Soon, Blackburn Rovers ushered in the second round of the Premier League.

Blackburn Rovers travel to Southampton.

The game was also very easy. Blackburn Rovers won 2-1 away at Southampton.

However, the question of Campbell's absence came out. Southampton were limited in quality but scored a goal against Blackburn. The problem was a mismatch between Lucio and Lescott.

George shook his head.

In every way, Lescott is much worse than Campbell.

Sagnol location, George was chosen McConn. McCone did not travel to Asia with the team and his physical strength was okay. At least more than 20 days off. But McConn always loses his position. The current McConn is not the later McConn.

George could only thank his opponent. Southampton are too weak, otherwise how could Blackburn's temporary backline be able to hold on.

But this is where the good fortune ends.

In the third round, Blackburn Rovers took on Arsenal at an astonishing state.

Arsenal have been the best team this season. In the first round, they swept Everton 4-1 away and won 5-3 at home to Middlesbrough in the second round, continuing their excellent form last season.

It was truly tragic that Blackburn ran into them.

McConn's right flank, Lescott's Lucio's middle, were beaten into a sieve by Arsenal.

The game was over, and George had a gloomy face.

Because the score above is impressively four to one. Arsenal four, Blackburn one. Thierry Henry, who was in astonishing form, repeatedly broke through the right flank of McCone and Lescott to complete a hat-trick.
