The next day, September 12, the entire Spartak Moscow team took a bus to the Ewood Park Stadium, the home of Blackburn.

There were no difficulties along the way, maybe the fans of the British Empire did not look down on the evil Soviet team at all, and even the famous football hooligans did not do anything, but some Spartak fans who accompanied the team to the United Kingdom made some news.

After changing his equipment, Lin Supo obviously felt that the atmosphere in the locker room was more serious than usual.

The team's results are better than last season, but because many of the players are young, they were basically in the youth team or on the bench last season, and they have not experienced the baptism of major competitions at all, let alone the Champions League starters against the Premier League champions.

It's hard to get nervous at this time.

The coach's speech did not have a good effect, which made Lin Supo a little worried.

When they arrived in the players' tunnel and saw the opposing players, the Spartak players became even more nervous.

Just as Europe used to look at the Soviet Union and always felt that the Soviet Union was going to beat them, now Russia, which is fully "admiring", is naturally psychologically weak in the face of noble Premier League teams.

Lin Supo, a guy whose career has only been 3 months now, has become the most comfortable person.

He has a good self-regulation ability, he has become a professional footballer, and he is only a little more famous than the players in the Russian Premier League against Blackburn.

Nervousness is for sure, but for the Champions League, not for Blackburn.

In his previous life, as a fan, he didn't look down on non-giants at all, and if he faced AC Milan or Juventus, he might be more nervous.

Even if Blackburn has good results and a good lineup, it will be difficult to put so much pressure on him.

Because he was a striker, he happened to be standing in a horizontal row with Shearer, and Lin Supo immediately greeted him in the English he learned at school: "Hey, Alain, I'm your fan." ”

"Hello."

Shearer squeezed out a smile and nodded, but he looked serious, and his smile was not very friendly, and he looked very majestic.

"Can I exchange jerseys when the game is over?"

This sentence has exceeded Lin Supo's limit, so his grammar is a little strange.

Fortunately, he even said that Shearer understood.

Shearer encounters this kind of thing a lot, so it's nothing strange, nods and agrees to exchange jerseys at the end of the game.

Lin Supo still wanted to continue talking, but unfortunately his English level was limited, and he scratched his heart for a long time, and his teammates reminded him to play, so he walked out with the referee team.

Boom –

The atmosphere at Ewood Park was ten times more enthusiastic than it was in the tunnel of the players.

"Wanderer, rush rush~"

"We're all riversiders!"

"Alan, come on and kill them, and let the evil Soviets show you how good you are."

Blackburn's full name is Blackburn Rover, and his nicknames include Rovers and Riverside Man. In the UK, there are many teams called Rovers (Rovers, Rangers, Wanderers), which originally meant that the team was not afraid to travel long distances and wander in pursuit of glory. Blackburn's moniker is actually a divergence from the club's full name, which is the second half of "Blackburn Rovers". The word "Rangers" is most typically the Glasgow Rangers.

In charge of commentating today's game were Sky Sports ace duos Martin Taylor and Andy Gray.

Andy Grey is a Scottish international who joined Sky Sports in '92 after retiring as a player, while Martin Taylor made his debut much earlier, commentating on his first game in 1974 and joining the BBC in 1990, when BBC and Sky Sports merged, Martin Taylor became the Premier League's chief commentator.

"Today's game is the highlight, Spartak Moscow is very dominant in the Russian Premier League."

Martin Taylor spoke highly of Spartak.

"Yes, despite the fact that a number of important players were poached in the summer, Spartak Moscow has won all the way in the league, and there are very few teams in European football who have won all the leagues. Of course, the strength of the Russian Premier League cannot be compared with the Premier League. ”

Andy Gray said with a smile.

"It is worth mentioning that Spartak has a Chinese player, and when I saw the list, I thought I was mistaken, but I didn't expect anyone in China to play football."

"Hey, Andy, you're biased."

"Maybe, who knows, the Chinese kid hasn't scored a goal now, and there's no problem with what I'm saying."

In the era when the Internet was not popular, not to mention Chinese players, even Chinese was mysterious to Europeans. Much of what they know about Chinese comes from television stations, such as the notorious BBC.

All kinds of storytelling plus netherworld filters.

Many fans in front of the TV were laughing at the evil Soviets for starting the Chinese striker, as if Blackburn had already won.

Lin Supo stood on both sides of the referee with his teammates, and the passionate Champions League theme song played, and his whole person began to get excited.

Such an atmosphere, coupled with the appropriate music, can really make people fully engaged together.

His blood was burning, and he had an inexplicable urge to fight for the Champions League and the Champions League trophy.

Is this what the contest feels like?

Lin Supo liked it very much.

He felt that he was born for this kind of scene.

The roar of the away fans only brought more motivation to him.

Soon, the song ended, and the players from both sides returned to their respective halves, and the captain went to guess the coin.

The lineups of both sides were also introduced

Blackburn starters: Tim. Flores/Graham. Le Chaux, Colin. Stephen Hendry, Ian. Pierce, Henning. Berg/Atkins, Tim. Sherwood, David Buddy, Stewart. Ripley/Alan Shearer, Mike Newell.

Spartak starters: Stanislav Cecchi/Pyatnitsky, Evgeny Bushmanov, Leandro Samaro, Dmitry Ananko/Vasily Kurkov, Yuri Nikiforov, Konovalov, Shaparev/Linsupo, Alexander Shrko.

Spartak only started with two non-Russian players, Samarone is Brazilian, and Blackburn are all from the British Isles except for full-back Berg.

There aren't many people who play abroad these days.

Of course, in comparison, Blackburn players are much more famous, both now and in the future. Today's starters were all internationals, including England, Norway, Scotland and a number of British Isles internationals.

These people are basically active in football after retiring, and they all have good achievements.

Finding that his teammates were still nervous, Lin Supo, who was waiting to guess the coin, immediately raised his right arm and roared.

The slogan "One for all, all for one" instantly sounded in the Spartak formation.

Martin Taylor found it interesting and commented: "It looks like Lin is very popular and has a high status in the team. ”

"yes, hehe."

"Yes, and his name is interesting, his name is Lin Supo, Lin is the surname, Su Po is the first name, his name sounds a lot like SUPER, SUPER Lin, Super Lin, it sounds very powerful!"

"A striker who can't score goals can be great?"

Reality gave Andy Gray the answer.

This year, the Premier League is particularly popular to give the opponent a dismissal, but they definitely didn't expect that it was Spartak who gave Blackburn a dismissal.

Newell tee off to pass the ball to Shearer, and Lin Supo's flying tackle came first and shoveled the ball away from Shearer's feet.

Shearer, who was completely defenseless, instantly fell on his back and flipped over, he looked at Lin Supo who rushed out to grab the ball, and couldn't help muttering in his heart, this is how the fans greet each other? I don't read much, but I feel that something is wrong!
