In the original world trajectory, Dzeko should have moved to Manchester City during the winter break next season, and at that time, Dzeko was worth only 27 million pounds. Manchester United spent nearly £32 million to bring in Dimitar Berbatov, which is exactly £5 million.

It is because of Dongfang Chen's butterfly that Manchester United lost five million pounds this time, is Dongfang Chen a disguised revenge?

Dongfang Chen doesn't have so much time to pay attention to this matter now, and now they have gone to Blackburn City, Lancashshire, where they are going to play Blackburn Rovers away.

Blackburn's results last season were terrible, and the frequent changes of managers caused Blackburn's results to plummet, after all, Blackburn Rovers were seventh in the Premier League last season and participated in the UEFA Cup.

This season, Allardyce took over Blackburn's team, retained the main backline of last season in the backline, and introduced Jacobson and Git, so that Blackburn's backline has improved, and the midfield has not changed much, and the core of the team is still "Norwegian Becky" Petersen, which is also Blackburn's leading star.

Blackburn's top scorer, Santa Cruz, left at the start of the season to move to Manchester City. Blackburn did not find a good replacement in the transfer market, but with McCarthy and Diouf in the team, it can be regarded as internal potential, and the strength is not bad.

However, overall, Blackburn's defense has been strengthened compared to last season, but the offensive strength has decreased a little.

Blackburn Rovers are now in the bottom 15th of the league and are not far from the relegation zone. However, Blackburn did very well in this year's Carabao Cup, reaching the semi-finals.

It can be seen that Blackburn's task this season is to stay relegated in the league and try to make a difference in the League Cup, reach the final and qualify for next season's European competition.

Yes, in Blackburn's view, as long as they reach the final of the English League Cup, they will be able to guarantee a place in European qualification, because they think that the team that wins the League Cup must be the top four of the Premier League, so they go to the Champions League, so the qualification for the UEFA Europa League will not fall to their League Cup runners-up Blackburn?

Blackburn's strategy for this season is very good, although they are not high in the Premier League, but out of the relegation zone, relegation should be no problem. Now they are in the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup, just one step away from their goal for the season.

Blackburn Rovers are now all focused on the Carabao Cup as they must qualify for next season's European competition.

So Blackburn Rovers are very serious about this game, and they have carefully prepared for this game in order to beat Birmingham City to reach the final.

Of course, Blackburn Rovers know how good Birmingham are and they are not taking this game lightly and are very cautious.

Birmingham, on the other hand, have the same intentions as Blackburn, and their demands in the league are actually very simple, they are trying to break through in the Carabao Cup and qualify for next season's European competition.

However, what the Birminghams did not expect was that they would have such an amazing performance in the league, and the good results in the league were pure surprise.

Although the Birmingham team is now in second place in the league, they are still focusing on the League Cup, and the league is still a long way off. The semi-finals of the Carabao Cup are just around the corner and they will have to secure European qualification now.

Otherwise, if they don't qualify for Europe at this time, and the next league suffers Waterloo, then the Birminghams will definitely regret it this season.

Yes, after the 21st round of the league, Birmingham City are now ahead of Manchester United and Arsenal in second place in the Premier League, with 44 points.

At the top of the Premier League table is Chelsea, with 46 points, just two points ahead of Birmingham. Third is Arsenal with 43 points, while Manchester United are fourth in the league with 42 points.

Birmingham's current result is beyond many people's expectations, and this is simply the blackest promotion horse in the Premier League in recent years.

With the current score of the Birmingham team, they can already declare the relegation successful, but now the people of the Birmingham team still use their goal of relegation to talk about things, which makes the media reporters scorn the Birminghames.

The Birminghamians have now turned their attention away from that and are ready to concentrate on the first leg of the upcoming English League Cup semi-final.

Most of the matches in the English League Cup are actually single-elimination games, and only in the semi-finals are they eliminated over two legs, home and away.

Birmingham City are now coming to Blackburn for the first leg of this season's English League Cup semi-finals.

Blackburn Rovers are very serious about this game, and Blackburn fans are very serious about this game, and they know that if they get past it, they will be able to secure European qualification for next season, and Blackburn fans are excited.

There were so many fans who came to Blackburn's home stadium, Ewood Park, and it was midweek and a lot of people were working. But there were still a lot of fans who came to fill the stadium, and even a large number of fans didn't get in outside the stadium.

The atmosphere was very hot, and there were a lot of Birmingham fans who came to cheer for the Birmingham team.

Birmingham City fans are also very keen on European qualification and they hope to qualify for next season's European competition, and they have all come to the away stadium to cheer on the team.

Both sides attach great importance to this game, both sides have put out the full main lineup to participate in this game, as for the weekend league both teams are not considered, now it is to win this game.

The home team Blackburn Rovers sent a formation of 442 and the starting line-up is as follows:

Goalkeeper: Paul Robinson

Rear four [from left to right]: Warnock, Samba, Oye and Nelson

Four midfielders [from left to right]: Petersen, Tugaj, Andrews and Emmorton

Two strikers: McCarthy and Roberts

The away team Birmingham City also lined up in a four-four-two, starting line-up as follows:

Goalkeeper: Joe Hart

Back four [left to right]: David Murphy, Ridgewell, James Collins and Zim Bonda

Four midfielders [from left to right]: Sebastian Larsson, Boateng, Ji Chengyong and Li Qinglong

Two strikers: Dongfang Chen and Sturridge

Both sides are all starters, and both sides are aiming for this game.

At the beginning of the game, the Birmingham team showed the demeanor of a strong team and began to frantically besiege the Blackburn Rovers team, while the Blackburn team did not have the posture of the home team at all, and directly put on a defensive counterattack posture to meet the Birmingham team.

Blackburn Rovers now seem to be treating Birmingham City as if they were a team at the level of Manchester United and Arsenal. It can be seen that Birmingham's second place in the league still puts a lot of pressure on Blackburn.

The attack of the Birmingham team is very ferocious, Dongfang Chen and Sturridge took turns to impact Blackburn's goal, making the Blackburn team difficult to parry, and the Blackburn fans on the scene are also nervous, and now the Blackburn team is very dangerous.

In the twelfth minute of the first half, the Birmingham team launched a very wonderful attack, after Ji Chengyong and Kevin Boateng played a delicate combination in midfield, Ji Chengyong directly hit the Blackburn defense with a through ball.

Sturridge was successful in an offside position and went straight to Blackburn's goalkeeper Paul Robinson.

Paul Robinson's strengths and weaknesses are very obvious, this guy's advantages are neuroknife, he has a very wonderful save and superhuman play, but the disadvantage is that he is very unstable, sometimes like God, sometimes he thinks it is the devil.

This time, Paul Robinson was possessed by God, and he saved, Sturridge's close-range must-score, and the Blackburn fans cheered excitedly for Paul Robinson.

It can be seen from Paul Robinson's save that Paul Robinson is in very good form today, and now he is God, that nerve knife God, which is definitely not good news for the Birmingham team.

Corner kick, the Birmingham team took a corner kick, the football flew directly to the back point, Dongfang Chen at the back point was already empty, he jumped high, and a lion shook his head directly.

This goal is undoubtedly a must-score for the fans of the Birmingham team, Dongfang Chen scored the goal with a header in this position unmarked, this is 100% to score, and the fans of the Birmingham team have raised their hands and cheered.

However, at this time, Paul Robinson's nerve knife was nervous again, and he flew out with a single palm of the ball.

The Birmingham fans immediately erupted in a scream of disbelief, Paul Robinson was too rebellious today.

Five minutes later, the Birmingham team made a comeback, Dongfang Chen launched his big trick from 35 meters from the goal, Li Huitang-style heavy artillery shot from distance.

This is Dongfang Chen's famous stunt, full of power.

This time, after shooting the football, Dongfang Chen's self-feeling was very good, and in his opinion, the goal was definitely scored.

However, the nerve knife Paul Robinson once again saved the football, which surprised Dongfang Chen, this Paul Robinson is simply too powerful when he has a nervous heart, he is simply the world's No. 1 goalkeeper.

Birmingham fans saw Paul Robinson's sharp expression, their hearts sank to the bottom, this game must be very, very difficult for Birmingham team.

On the sidelines, Birmingham's head coach McLeish frowned when he saw this situation, and it was clear that this game was more difficult than he imagined.

Paul Robinson's experience also affected Blackburn's players, who immediately launched a counter-attack, with Norway's Petersson finding McCarthy in the box with a cross from the wing.

McCarthy jumped high and smashed the ball into the Birmingham goal, to the horror of the Birmingham fans.

This is very dangerous, McCarthy wants to be very awkward, and the Birmingham team is going to be finished.
