George was in a good mood in front of the players in the dressing room. 'We have won three top-flight titles and six FA Cups at Blackburn. At the beginning of the English league, Blackburn Rovers were also England powerhouses. ...... year"

The players at the bottom were curious to watch George talk about Blackburn's history.

Blackburn's history is not too bad, or rather shabby. But all of this history was seventy or eighty years ago. Even the Blackburn players themselves wouldn't know unless they went to dig through the information.

In fact, as a club that has won three top flight titles and six FA Cup titles, it is not impossible to blow about the glory of its ancestors when it comes to re-emergence.

But now it's the League Cup final. The opponent is Liverpool, England's number one giant. Liverpool are now in the dressing room to reminisce about the past and to celebrate their glorious history of sweeping European football and to inspire their players.

Now facing Liverpool, whose history is incomparably glorious, George talks about Blackburn's history there, and no matter how you look at it, it feels a bit nondescript.

George didn't show much interest in his players, so he stopped bragging at this time. Boasting about Blackburn's little bit of history, and all of it is ancient, George did not blush at all. "We have such a glorious history at Blackburn, but we haven't won a League Cup once in half a century of history. Not even the League Cup final. ”

The players knew George was getting to the point.

"You're so lucky. Because you are the first player in Blackburn's history to reach the Carabao Cup final. Decades later, when Blackburn Rovers fans are remembering the accolades, you are the ones who won the League Cup for Blackburn. ”

"Don't underestimate the low value of the League Cup. But when it comes to looking back on history, this game was a turning point in Blackburn's history. ”

"Years later, fans asked how Blackburn became a giant? The media will comment that it started by defeating England's No. 1 giant, Liverpool, and winning the League Cup. It was the baton of a giant, Blackburn Rovers beat Liverpool and took over the temperament of the English giants from Liverpool. ”

"And you are the first players of Blackburn to become a big club."

Although George himself knew that this statement was false. Blackburn Rovers became a giant? Even George himself didn't believe it.

But in this atmosphere, after saying this, the entire Blackburn players were inexplicably excited. Players honestly don't have much culture. If you assume that they have the same IQ as you, then you can't manage the locker room.

Sometimes you have to treat the players like your own children. Paternalistic management is still necessary in English football.

You want to let them know that there can only be one voice in the dressing room. You just have to listen to this voice, and that's it. That's how George manages the locker room.

"Kill Liverpool! If you want to become a giant, you should get rid of Liverpool, the number one giant! As soon as George's words fell, Sagnol got up and shouted.

Sagnol was thrilled. If you are the captain, you will definitely leave a strong mark on Blackburn's history. Of course, the first thing to do is to win Liverpool.

"Kill Liverpool!"

All the players shouted along with Sagnol.

George looked at the excited players and waved his hand. "Get out and take out Liverpool! Tell Liverpool that they're just a down-and-out giant! ”

………… It's a League Cup final, but it's not as cautious as the final.

Blackburn Rovers and Liverpool know each other. The two teams met twice in each of the three seasons. So neither team had any temptation, and after the game began, it entered real hand-to-hand combat.

The league results in recent seasons have not been good, but the Liverpool players do not have the slightest inferiority.

Because although the results in these seasons have not been good, Liverpool has performed extremely well against strong teams. Let's just say that this season, there are both away beats against Manchester United and a 4-0 home slaughter of Arsenal.

Therefore, in the face of Blackburn, the Liverpool players don't care at all. Or rather, it is not because of Blackburn's strong strength now that they have shrunk a little. It's completely let go of the fight.

Of course, Liverpool's style of play is different from Blackburn's.

Blackburn played in midfield to suppress the opposition and then tear apart the defence with two wings. The wings are important. At the same time, once the wing pulls the opponent's defense away, then Miku and Deco in the middle can pass lethal through balls.

Therefore, Blackburn's style of play requires a certain distance from the back, midfield, and front, and the whole team needs to press forward.

But the current Liverpool style of play is a counter-attacking style of play. There is a striker like Owen who can perfectly combine technique and speed in the frontcourt, so once a counterattack is played, basically no team can defend it. Under this style of play, Owen's strength is vividly displayed.

Blackburn Rovers are attacking both flanks. Liverpool's line-up this time was a bit interesting, with Carragher on the left and Marcus on the right. Babel. Neither are professional full-backs. So George attacked both flanks, hoping to open a breakthrough.

Bellamy's substitution for Duff in this game is not George's surname arrangement. Instead, before the game, Duff had a cold and was replaced by George.

Bellamy's performance this season has definitely been outstanding. Especially after increasing the cooperation with the team, Bellamy's strength came out. Although he has not been able to replace Pire and Duff as the main team, he has started more than 15 times so far. With the addition of substitute appearances, it is only a few games less than the main players.

In such a situation, Bellamy has already scored seven goals and provided six assists for Blackburn. It can be described as a sharp weapon in Blackburn's wing.

Liverpool, on the other hand, will also play on both wings once they get the ball. But the two wings rarely swoop like Blackburn Rovers and then cross or go straight into the box, but go to Owen or Fowler in the middle. Rarely dragged the mud and water, just to create a chance for Owen to fight back.

At the start of the game, Blackburn's side was aggressive.

There was a fierce attack on Liverpool's hinterland. Liverpool, on the other hand, faced the game calmly, but the counterattack was very resolute.

However, it was Blackburn's side who broke Liverpool's goal first, and Bellamy, who replaced Duff in this game, used his speed to pass Carragher. Bellamy, like Owen, is a player with perverted speed, even faster than Owen. Carragher, who plays at left-back, can't block Bellamy at all.

“…… Bellamy, pass, it's a return pass...... Miku! ”

Miku stepped in to receive the ball and Henchowz stepped forward to defend. Miku led the ball to the right with his back heel and then leaned his upper body to the left. Henchowz followed Miku, thinking that Miku was going to break to the left. By the time Hunchoz had flickered, Miku was back to the right.

Miku ...... With the movement of his upper body, he shook Hunchoz...... Miku, shoot! ”

By the time Hunjoz was shaken, only the goalkeeper was left in front of Miku. This flickering action is just a flash. Miku is getting easier and easier to pass now, but the effect is getting better and better.

Miku shot from a tricky angle and rolled straight into the other side of Westerved's position.

Westerved...... The ball is a dead end. Westerved didn't have a way at all. 1-0, Blackburn Rovers were already 1-0 up in the Carabao Cup final. ”

George sat on the bench and clapped his hands softly in the face of the goal. Miku is getting more and more general-like. Miku's series of actions near the big forbidden area are tedious to say and do in the blink of an eye.

Miku didn't have the slightest superfluous move. In a flash, after flashing a little angle, he shot very decisively.

The Blackburn fans burst into loud cheers in an instant. Of course, with cheers, there were also mocking Liverpool songs. The songs were clearly made up on the fly. "Liverpool, you're England's number one club - Liverpool, when was the last time you won the title?"

Liverpool fans could only boo against the cheers of the Blackburn fans.

And Blackburn's strong performance has just begun.

Blackburn Rovers are still pressing Liverpool.

“…… Fowler, facing Panucci...... Steal by Panucci! Fowler slows down, Panucci moves fast! ”

Panucci is doing really well. Although it was on loan, because Blanco was old after all. In a high-intensity game, Blanco's physical strength could not keep up. Therefore, Panucci has more opportunities to play. Panucci is a world-class defender, and after adapting to the Premier League, his performance at the back is very consistent.

Sometimes George really wanted to buy Panucci.

Thirty-nine minutes into the first half, it was Miku who got the ball again. Haman didn't dare to slack off this time, and clung to Miku tightly. Miku kept his head down and possessed the ball, seemingly forced by Hamann to turn around. At this time, Smitchell also came over, ready to steal the ball at Miku's feet.

At this point, Miku suddenly made a back-heel pass, and the ball passed between Hamann and Smitchell.

Deco, who was inserted in the back, got the ball, and Gerrard on the right came in a hurry, ready to defend Deco. However, Deco did not entangle Gerrard, but passed to Piret on the left. After Pire got the ball, he faced Marcus. Babbel suddenly cut inside and then prepared to shoot.

The moment Hyypia saw Pireneche, he came out to defend.

As a former team-mate, Hyypia is well aware of the power of Pire's shot in this position.

“…… Hyypia ...... Pire's no shot, pass ...... Klose! ”

Piret made a shot on goal, but it didn't. It was a very light through plug and Klose received the ball.

"Klose, shoot!"

After Klose got the ball, he didn't make any other moves. Just after a turn, it was immediately a left-footed shot.

The series of actions is too fast. Westerved just made a move and couldn't stop the goal at all.
