Speaking of which, Blackburn Rovers have also played in the Champions League. In the 94-95 season, Blackburn Rovers won the Premier League and also participated in the Champions League.

But Blackburn, who was ambitious at the time, only understood what it meant to sit in a well and watch the sky after arriving in Europe. Or what is called the nest, Blackburn Rovers were a real Premier League powerhouse in those years. It was the Premier League runner-up in the 93-94 season and the Premier League champion in the 94-95 season, but when it came to the Champions League, it was a sea flat.

It was not only Sparta Moscow that destroyed Blackburn, but even Rosenborg of the Norwegian Premier League and Legia Warsaw of the Polish First Division ravaged Blackburn.

If it is beaten by any team in Serie A, La Liga, Bundesliga, or even Ligue 1 and Eredivisie, it is nothing. But being beaten by such a league team that they had never heard of before was frustrating for Blackburn fans.

This kind of soy sauce performance made Blackburn fans realize the reality.

And now Blackburn Rovers are in the Champions League again. But now the Blackburn fans are enthusiastic again. Why?

Blackburn Rovers is not the same club that didn't see the world last time. Blackburn Rovers had already won the UEFA Cup last season, which made Blackburn fans look forward to this Champions League journey.

On September 13, the first round of the group stage of the Champions League will be played at Ewood Park.

The Blackburn fans are passionate. Tickets for this match were sold out even a week ago. All Blackburn Rovers fans showed great interest in the game, and there were even fans holding up "I want a ticket" sign on the day of the game, hoping that a good Samaritan would give up their tickets.

It's a pity that all the fans are firmly holding their tickets, and no one pities the fan who asked for tickets.

Blackburn Rovers also have their own tickets, and each of them gets three or four tickets from the club. But these votes have already been divided. Although most of Blackburn's players are foreigners, many of them have been with Blackburn for some years.

There are a few close friends in Blackburn.

Especially like Henning. Berg and Duff have been at Blackburn for many years, and they have many relatives and friends. So even if each of them has a dozen or so, it may not be enough. Like Pire and Miku, they gave all the tickets on their bodies to other people's Duffs.

Pire, Miku, they came to Blackburn with George. But there are no friends or family in Blackburn.

Words can't say enough about how hot this game is in Blackburn. Crowds of fans, just over forty minutes before the start of the game, filled all the spots at Ewood Park.

When the Sparta Prague players were warming up, it was incredible to see so many fans and such enthusiastic fans.

Unlike Blackburn, Sparta Prague is able to play in the Champions League almost every season. Although it is soy sauce every season, it almost does not fall every year. I've been to a lot of courses, including the world-famous big stadiums.

But it feels like the fans in those places don't add up to the Blackburn Rovers fan fanaticism.

George wasn't in the dressing room this time, but came to the pitch early. Look at Sparta Prague where they train. Sparta Prague should resent the Bosman Act, which they might have been a European powerhouse by now if it weren't for the Boseman Act.

But Sparta Prague remained the Czech hegemon. Now the best star of Sparta Prague should be Rosicky, who is known as the "Mozart of football".

Rosicky will be 20 in a month, but Rosicky is already one of the most talented midfielders in European football. There have been a lot of European clubs that have started looking at Rosicky. George also focused on Rosicky, who is really young now.

George knew that Sparta Prague would not be able to keep such a talented midfielder as Rosicky.

But no matter how young he is, George will not underestimate Rosicky.

Of course, George will never play man-to-man defense against Rosicky, man-to-man defense is what a weak team should do. George wants to use his own rhythm to bring down Sparta Prague, which also deprives Rosicky of a good chance to get the ball.

No matter how strong Rosicky is alone, it is impossible for Sparta Prague to become a powerhouse in European football.

At the beginning of the game, Blake had relied on home advantage to bombard Sparta Prague indiscriminately.

'It seems that George is really hungry to play in the Champions League. Look at the Blackburn games now, how excited they are as players. ”

Martin. Taylor's words were right. The Blackburn players were excited on the pitch and a little too excited. Several passes were wrong, leaving George waving his hand on the side. These kids have never seen the world before, and a small Champions League group stage match needs to be so excited.

If those passes were in a normal league, they would not have been so outrageous.

George kept making calm gestures on the sidelines.

Luckily, though, the Blackburn players were just excited in the opening stages. Soon calmed down. Anyway, everyone is a player who has won the UEFA Cup and the UEFA Super Cup. After everyone calmed down, Blackburn's strength was revealed.

“…… Sagnol, cross...... Klose! Klose scored his first goal in the Champions League. It was also George's first Champions League game. There is indeed a great fate between George and Klose, two masters and apprentices. ”

'George was in charge of Blackburn Rovers and his first goal in the Premier League was scored by Jurgen Klose. And George's team's first goal in the League Cup was scored by Klose. Now George's first Champions League goal in his coaching career was scored by Klose. ”

"It's a wonderful coincidence. Or maybe it's God's fate. ”

"George gave Klose absolute trust, and Klose gave George one goal after another in return."

Sparta Prague is really weak. In just thirty minutes, Blackburn had already scored a goal.

Klose's goal completely ignited the enthusiasm of Blackburn fans. The last time they played in the Champions League, Blackburn fans were also enthusiastically looking forward to it. But in the end, Blackburn was very miserable and was eliminated from the Champions League.

But now Blackburn lead Sparta Prague 1-0. And on the pitch Blackburn were completely dominant.

The on-site narrator shouted "Miro, Miro!" Our Miro scored another goal and it was his fourth goal of the season. Rejoice! Cheers to our Miro! ”。 Hearing the agitation of the live commentators, all the Ewood Park fans chanted "Miro. Klose! ”。

After Klose scored, he put his hand to his ear and made a gesture of celebration to listen to the cheers of the fans.

Although Sparta Prague occasionally had some counter-attacks, it was completely inconsequential for Blackburn's defence.

"Carl, what do you think of Rosicky in Sparta Prague?"

Since Klose's goal, George has been very calm. Instead, my mind began to drift a little.

"Yes, a very strong player. Why are you interested in him? ”

Karl didn't know Rosicky. Or if it weren't for the fact that he was facing Sparta Prague, Karl had never heard of Rosicky's name at all. However, in order to prepare for Sparta Prague, I met Rosicky.

For a genius like Rosicky, Carl is very appreciative.

Sparta Prague was almost pinned down in half of the pitch in this game, with only a handful of counter-attacking opportunities. And those counter-attacking opportunities were all created by Rosicky.

"I do like him. But the value is too high. To take him now, it is estimated that it will not be around 10 million pounds, and it will be difficult to take him. Now that he's here, he's just playing as a substitute, and we can't afford to use such extravagant substitutes. ”

The value of the players is getting higher and higher. The high ones are getting more and more outrageous.

Rosicky, for example, has only played in the Czech league for one season. The value has risen sharply, and now it is seven or eight million pounds to say the least. And the value is still rising, George knows that he really wants to buy Rosicky, and it will be difficult to get it without 10 million pounds.

Real Madrid can throw away 10 million pounds at will, and there is no problem in buying it as a substitute. Don't say it's 10 million pounds, even if it's 20 or 30 million pounds thrown out, they don't blink an eyelid.

But on Blake itself, the £10 million buy of players did not dare to be put on the bench. By far the highest transfer in Blackburn's history, it was Rio Ferdinand's £12 million. So although Rosicky's eyes were red, George didn't dare to beat his idea.

"Ten million pounds, George, you're kidding. How come I haven't heard the name Rosicky before? ”

Evan questioned Rosicky's worth on the side. A 20-year-old, £10 million, the price that only one of the biggest talents in European football can have.

"Evan, you don't understand. There are already clubs that have approached them. You'll know how much he's worth later. ”

George clearly remembers that Rosicky was transferred this winter in history. And the transfer value is the historical record of the Bundesliga, reaching nearly 15 million euros.

“gooooooooooooal！！！！！” Just as George was chatting with Evan and Carl, the cheers of the on-site commentators rang out again. "Duff, Duff's goal. Blackburn Rovers are already 2-0 up at home. ”

Blackburn played too well.

However, although there was no suspense in the game, the enthusiasm of the Blackburn fans was getting higher and higher. From the start to the end of the game, the cheers of the Blackburn fans never stopped.

"It seems that Blackburn has absolutely no problem showing up in this group. Sparta Prague had no power to fight back against Blackburn. ”

It is true that even Sparta Prague itself has no heart. From a second-half corner, Rio Ferdinand scored his third goal of the game. In the end, George's first Champions League game, George ended the game very easily with a 3-0.

George was very happy to face the reporters after the game. 'We've got off to a good start in the Champions League and I hope to keep doing that.'
