After the defeat to Everton, Blackburn was in Italy.

Once again, we came to the city of Rome. Once again, at the Stadio Olimpic.

Because private ownership of football stadiums is not allowed in Serie A, many teams share a football field. Including the Milan duo, they share the same stadium. It's just that each of them has a name for him, AC Milan is called San Siro Stadium, and Inter Milan is called Meazza Stadium.

That's a nice thing to say. If you are a fan who has just watched the game, you will think that they have a stadium.

Lazio and Roma also share the same stadium. That's the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.

When it comes to Lazio's home stadium, Lazio fans will most hope for a home win over Blackburn.

George put half of the bench up. Instead, they slammed and drew 1-1 with Lazio at their home stadium. After the fourth round of the Champions League group stage, Blackburn has already accumulated 10 points and confirmed a qualifying spot.

Although many people think that the appearance of Lazio and Blackburn is a sure thing when they analyze Group B. But Blackburn was able to break through so easily in the group, and no one expected.

After returning from Roma, Blackburn met Manchester City.

Manchester City are the club that has just been promoted. The results after promotion were poor, conceding only a little fewer goals than Bradford. Facing Manchester City at home, George is full of confidence. But I don't know if it's because of the recent instability in form, Blackburn Rovers were actually scored two goals by Manchester City, who were extremely poor in attack.

Blanco can be said to have suffered a lot of humiliation in this game. First, the Manchester City striker used his speed past Blanco to score a goal. Again, because the turning speed was slow, he could only pull the opponent's striker. He gave the opposing striker a penalty and got a red card.

Blanco only scored four points in the post-match rating.

Fortunately, Blackburn's attack power is very strong. Goals from Miku and Pire put the game 2-2 to an end.

It's humiliating to play against a team like Manchester City and only get a score of 2-2. In the last three games, Blackburn has drawn two and lost one, which has surprised the media. Is this still the killer Blackburn Rovers from the start of the season?

A draw with Lazio is understandable. After all, Blackburn no longer need to fight Lazio on the road.

But it was a surprise to be held to a draw by Manchester City and a defeat to Everton.

At this time, Mark, who had not been seen for a long time. Laurentian reappeared in front of the media. "Blake started the season against underdogs. So they were able to make an eight-game winning streak. But when the schedule is dense and strong teams appear, Blake has revealed his essence. ”

'It's the first time George has played in both the Premier League and the Champions League. He couldn't allocate the team's resources properly, or George was too inexperienced. ”

Agree with Mark. There are many media outlets for Laurenson's opinion. They had forgotten that they had been praising George as England's famous coach before.

But George wasn't in a hurry. The recent inconsistency in form is entirely due to the fact that he was too fierce at the start of the season. The results were so good that the Blackburn players were in a mood all the way. By October, it was no longer possible to go up. So it can only be to lower their emotions.

Luckily, there aren't many games in October and Blackburn don't have to be as busy as they were in August and September.

For the entire month of October, Blackburn had just five games. In September, Blackburn had played eight games. So for the tired Blackburn, it was a time to rest.

George also had more time to rest and think.

After playing Manchester City, Blackburn travelled to Prague in the Czech Republic two days later. Go to Sparta Prague away. In this game, George really rotated most of the lineup, and played a complete bench lineup. George even used two youth team players on the pitch.

However, even with an all-bench lineup, Sparta Prague were unable to beat Blackburn. Blackburn Rovers drew 1-1 away at Sparta Prague. If it weren't for the fact that George was the head coach, George wouldn't even want to go to Prague in the Czech Republic.

After five rounds of Champions League group stage matches, Blackburn have 11 points.

George didn't care much about this game at all. Because after this game, there is a tough battle waiting for Blackburn. It's that Blackburn is going to take on the Red Devils away from home.

………… On October 28, Blackburn was already in Manchester.

Away to Manchester United, it was a real highlight.

Due to Blackburn's slump during this period, Arsenal are now only two points behind Blackburn Rovers and Manchester United are four points behind Blackburn. It's almost made up for the gap some time ago.

However, Blackburn, Manchester United and Arsenal are still the strongest contenders for the Premier League title this season.

Therefore, the match between Blackburn Rovers and Manchester United was also hailed by the media as an important watershed game.

If Blackburn Rovers win this game, then United will be seven points behind Blackburn. It would also establish Blackburn's strong position in the Premier League. Of course, once Manchester United wins, then the gap with Blackburn Rovers will be completely narrowed.

What's more, Blackburn Rovers have been in poor form lately. If we lose to Manchester United, then the last three league games will be one draw and two defeats. It's possible that Blackburn will continue to slump.

So this game, from another point of view, will have an important impact on the Premier League title this season.

As a result, countless media outlets poured into Manchester.

When Blackburn arrived at Old Trafford, a number of reporters blocked George, trying to ask him questions.

"Coach Levy, Blackburn Rovers haven't been very good in the last few games. Can you tell us what the reason is? ”

George stopped, looked at the reporter and shrugged, and said casually, "My team has done a good job." And you think about it, how boring it would be if we won all the games. We have to give hope to the other teams, including Manchester United, don't we? ”

Hearing George's words, the reporters who surrounded him were almost about to spit on George.

The game is in poor condition, and he is so shameless, it is estimated that George is definitely the first.

The United reporter is gone.

"Coach Levy, you used the Special Talent Clause to buy Hleb at the beginning of the season. But how come we haven't seen any of your special talent this season? ”

This is the Manchester United reporter's sarcasm of George's nakedness.

George didn't move, and said with a slight smile: "Since he is a special genius, of course he has special abilities." If even you can see what he is capable of, then how can he be a special genius? Actually, you don't have to worry, soon you will understand Alexander's strength. ”

At this time, the reporters of The Sun finally squeezed in.

"Coach Levy, have you read the latest issue of The Sun?"

"The Sun, I haven't heard of it. What the hell? "If George hated the newspaper in England the most, it was The Sun. This newspaper doesn't have any bottom line, as long as it can stimulate sales, they are willing to use any means.

Hearing George's words, some reporters next to him laughed.

But the "Sun" reporter is cheeky, if you don't have a little cheekiness, how can you be a reporter.

"According to internal sources, Miku is very unhappy with Coach Levy's replacement in the middle of the game, I wonder if it's true?"

"That's what you're up to in the latest installment?"

"Yes."

"Are you now confirming the truth of the news to me?"

"Yes."

When George sneered when he heard this, his face suddenly fell. "Now that you're all on board, what else do you prove to me? What would you like to hear from me? Do you want to hear it, or do you want to hear it? Anyway, depending on the way you look, your newspaper is a newspaper that survives by making up news. Is it really useful, you can just make up a story and write it yourself. ”

After finishing speaking, Qiao Zhi ignored the other reporters and went back directly.

The Sun, Murdoch is really evil.

You're a media tycoon, even if you don't have public morality. But at the very least, you can't be too lewd. But Murdoch, he has no bottom line at all. However, Murdoch's family is a world-famous media giant, and George, a small coach, can't do anything to him.

Looking at George's appearance, the Sun reporter was not angry at all. On the contrary, I was very happy. George was angry, and they had good things to write.

There were quite a few problems for both teams in this game.

First up is Manchester United, their midfielder tough guy Keane has his foot on Ljungberg because of the game against Arsenal two rounds ago. Played against Ljungberg on the pitch and was sent off with a red card. He was banned by the FA for four games after the game, so he was unavailable for this game.

There is also Ryan Giggs on the left who is injured and cannot play. That's a big plus for Blackburn.

Of course, there were also attrition on Blackburn's side.

First of all, Blanco in the backline, because of the red card in the match against Manchester City, this game is also unavailable.

Another person was injured a little while training. It's Blackburn's main striker, Klose. George also removed Klose from the starting line-up for the sake of conservatism. George was reluctant to let Klose take a risk for the sake of a game.

The weather was nice on this day. George loved it.

Although accustomed to the rainy weather in England. But when it comes to this kind of sunny day, George's mood will be very happy. And Blackburn's style of play, if the field is slippery, will affect the play.

I've been to Old Trafford many times, but every time I come to Old Trafford, George is very envious. If only Blackburn could have such a good course.

Just as the media value the game, so do Manchester United fans.

The nearly 70,000 seats at Old Trafford have been fully filled by Manchester United fans. Before the game started, they started cheering for the home team. Of course, there are also Blackburn fans who come with Blackburn, although the number is small, but the momentum is not low.

A pinnacle showdown, on the verge of breaking out.
