This trip to London was so unexpected.

George had already made an appointment with Campbell before he went. But I accidentally ran into Daniel, and I learned that Daniel was going to become the chairman of Tottenham.

George really didn't expect it. George woke up in England in 1985. At that time, Daniel was in the London stock market, and Daniel was only a young man in his twenties at the time.

Daniel, who is in his twenties, is already a very famous person in the London stock market.

Now, fifteen years later, Daniel is no longer the small broker he used to be in the London stock market. As long as you are an insider, mentioning Daniel is a myth. I don't know how many rich people are willing to hand over their money to Daniel to manage.

With his head, Daniel squeezed into the upper class of England.

I just didn't expect him to become the president of the football club soon.

After meeting Campbell, George returned to Blackburn with the team. Because the next schedule is even more perverted.

I don't know if the FA's head is in the water.

After playing Tottenham, there is a Premier League game on December 30, a league game on January 1, an FA Cup third round game on January 6, a League Cup semi-final on January 10, and a Premier League game on January 13.

The rest is okay, after a few days of rest, the game will be played.

But the two Premier League games that are about to be played are too problematic. It's not just Blackburn Rovers who have this kind of schedule, but also Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool, and other teams. There's only one day off, and then it's time to play the next game.

At this time, it depends on the thickness of everyone's substitution.

Playing Tottenham George has allowed the Blackburn players to retain a lot of energy. That's when George discovered the benefits of a strong bench lineup.

Because December 30 is playing Derby County, it is an underdog hovering in the relegation zone. On January 1, it was to play Liverpool at Anfield Stadium. So George kept the main player to play Liverpool, while the substitute player played Derby County.

Even so, Blackburn's bench strength is not weak at all.

Panucci, Sun Jihai, Gala, Henning. Berg is a man of great strength. Don't look at it as a substitute, the strength is stronger than the main force of Derby County.

Midfielder George used four midfielders, with veteran McChrist and youngster Hargreaves partnered, plus David Brown. Dunn and Hleb. Hleb was placed in the role of a libero by George in this game, and he could do whatever he wanted in the front court.

In fact, the current Hleb is almost zero in terms of the big picture. George didn't let him be a free man, not because of any advantage in Hleb's passing, vision.

It's that Hleb's technique is good. Although many passers were useless, they were surrounded by several people with them, and finally lost the ball. But one of Hleb's strengths is that the dribbling is excellent. It's easy to create free-kicks up front.

As for the forward line, George arranged Drogba and Davao. Suke two.

As for Blackburn's fourth striker, Kevin. Gallaher, too old. is already thirty-four years old, and he is no longer as sharp as he used to be. Kevin. Gallacher has also told George that he is going to retire after playing this season.

Don't look at George as a complete substitute. But against a team like Derby, the strength is not weak at all.

However, it may be that there are too many games in these days, and the situation cannot be opened for a long time. In the end, it was Hleb who created a free-kick and McAllister scored the only goal of the game.

It was a tough game.

George saw it. There have been so many games this season that even the physical strength of these substitutes has become a problem. Because there have been so many games this season, even these substitutes, they have played a lot of games.

McAllister, a 36-year-old veteran, has made more than 10 starts at Blackburn Rovers alone.

However, for McAllister's transfer, George is very satisfied.

This veteran who came for free is not only not a high salary, but also does not spend a transfer fee. He has been even better at Blackburn. Managing the Blackburn midfield is well organised, with young Hargreaves and David. Dunn was very obedient to McAllister's arrangement.

After the victory over Derby, the gap between Blackburn Rovers and Manchester United and Arsenal is getting wider and wider.

Two teams with less bench depth than Blackburn's Manchester United and Arsenal were dragged down by this high density of games. Manchester United were held to a 1-1 draw away by Newcastle and Arsenal were held to a 2-1 draw at home by Sunderland.

As a result, Blackburn have led Manchester United by eight points and Arsenal by 10 points after the 21st round of the league.

After just one day's rest, Blackburn Rovers arrived at Anfield to take on Liverpool.

It's already a new year.

George himself sighed a little. Time flies, and in a flash it is already 2001.

This day is January 1st, and according to the Chinese festival, this day is New Year's Day. When I arrived at Anfield, it was already crowded.

Liverpool is the greatest team in England's history and the number one club in England. But since the "Hillsborough Massacre", Liverpool's results have deteriorated. Since the inception of the Premier League, Liverpool's results have not been in line with their status in England.

This is a very contradictory thing.

Therefore, Liverpool fans are also a more conflicted group. They are very proud, or rather proud. As fans of England's number one giant, they certainly have the right to be proud. But because of the poor results in the past ten years, they have some imbalances in their hearts.

Although Houllier has led Liverpool to good results this season, he still can't compete with Manchester United, Arsenal and Blackburn.

So the Liverpool fans, the team, every time they face a strong team, they want to beat them. In order to maintain the face of the old giants Liverpool.

Therefore, Liverpool has the problem of being strong when it is strong and weak when it is weak.

When they face weak teams, they don't have a lot of methods. But once faced against a strong team, Liverpool was like a drug. In the 18th round of the Premier League and the 19th round of the Premier League, Liverpool met Manchester United and Arsenal one after another.

However, Liverpool, who did not have good results, performed quite strongly against Manchester United and Arsenal.

First they won 1-0 away at Manchester United and then swept Arsenal 4-0 at home.

However, just when everyone thought that Liverpool would continue to be strong, they were defeated 1-0 by Middlesbrough in the 20th round of the league.

This kind of performance that is not afraid of strong teams, but cannot score points against weak teams, is also the reason why Liverpool has never been able to win the league title.

Now Blackburn are a bit strong, so Blackburn has arrived at Anfield, and many Liverpool fans are hoping that Liverpool will beat Blackburn. It also shows that Liverpool is still an English giant.

Sure enough, as soon as the game began, Liverpool attacked Blackburn fiercely.

Seventeen minutes into the first half, Blackburn's goal was breached by Liverpool. It was England's golden boy Owen who scored the Liverpool goal.

Owen has been doing very well this season, getting the ball, using his speed past Claude Makelele and Blanco before swaying Rio Ferdinand to score the beautiful goal.

Seeing Owen, George remembered a sentence. The world's martial arts, only fast is not broken.

It's not terrible to be fast, but it's terrible to be able to combine people and balls, easily change direction in high-speed breakthroughs, and shoot with such high accuracy. Bellamy is not inferior to Owen in terms of speed, but his deterrent power on the court is completely incomparable to Owen.

Seeing Owen score, all the Liverpool fans thundered with joy. Anfield quickly became a sea of joy.

They all want to see Liverpool finish off Blackburn at home.

But George wasn't in a hurry. George was waiting, waiting for the second half.

Liverpool have also just finished a league game, and Owen, Gerrard, Heskey have all played. George didn't believe they could make it to the second half with a day's rest. Blackburn Rovers have at least been rested for more than three days.

Sure enough, after the second half, Liverpool's physical strength had a big problem.

Irving, who was active in the first half, was also a little unable to run. With a big wave of George's hand, Blackburn, who had been suppressed by Liverpool in the first half, began to counterattack.

But this is when Liverpool's tenacity came out. Liverpool, who have poor physical strength, simply used their bodies to block Blackburn's attack. Will, probably that kind of thing. George admires Liverpool's tenacity.

Maybe this is the so-called wealthy heritage. Even if Liverpool changed coaches one after another, this spirit of not admitting defeat continued to stay at Anfield.

It has been attacking for more than 40 minutes, and in the 89th minute of the game, Klose received a pass from Miku and successfully countered offside, and finally equalized. In fact, in the second half, Blackburn had 15 shots on goal alone, but Liverpool only scored one goal under the unity of Liverpool.

In the end, George had to return to Blackburn Rovers with a draw at Anfield.

Manchester United is the kind of team that gets tougher, the better it performs. In this game, they won 3-1 against West Ham United. The gap with Blackburn Rovers has shrunk back to six points.

And Arsenal is already on the verge of collapse. Following the draw in the previous game, this one turned out to be a 0-1 defeat to Charlton. The gap to Blackburn Rovers has become 11 points, and the gap to Manchester United has also increased by five points.

By the end of the 22nd round of the Premier League, all the media lamented that the Champions League had completely brought down Arsenal. Arsenal have dropped out of contention for the league title. Now the Premier League title is going to be born between Manchester United and Blackburn.

Luck runs out in the cup. Blackburn meet Aston Villa in the third round of the FA Cup.

George, who was already dizzy from the dense schedule, was also fielded by youth team players in this game. For a team like Villa, it is wishful thinking to get a Champions League place, and it is enough to want a League Cup place now.

Therefore, it attaches great importance to domestic cup competitions.

Facing the full bench lineup, Villa was not polite at all. Ping Pong gave Blackburn three balls. Blackburn had just played in the FA Cup before being knocked out by Villa. But George had no regrets. Without the FA Cup, I feel a lot more relaxed.

After the FA Cup elimination, Blake had to play the first game of the Carabao Cup semi-finals.
