Chapter 272 Strong Team
This summer, because of the European Cup, the start of the Premier League games is relatively late.

On August 2000, 8, the first round of the Premier League will start.

When George came to England, it was the 80s.In a flash, it has been more than 15 years since George came to England, and George also ushered in the new millennium.

The new millennium is an era of opportunities and risks.The strong teams are getting stronger and the weak teams are getting weaker.The power of money is growing, and the survival of small teams has never been more difficult.Only by grasping the opportunity can many giants and rich teams compete.

Before the start of the season, the media is looking forward to the new season of the Premier League.

Among them, Manchester United and Arsenal will always be ranked first.Because in the five seasons since Blackburn won the Premier League title, Manchester United won three Premier League titles and Arsenal won two Premier League titles.

Counting from Wenger's entry into Arsenal, Manchester United won two Premier League titles and Arsenal won two Premier League titles.It can be said that the two teams are evenly divided in the Premier League.

Manchester United did not move much this summer, but after Schmeichel retired, Ferguson has not found a good replacement.This summer they introduced the main goalkeeper of the French national team, Barthez, from Monaco.

But Arsenal's actions this summer are very big.

First, Arsenal's two absolute main players, Overmars and Petit, both went to Barcelona.Barcelona also felt a little panicked.Figo's transfer made the Barcelona club very passive.

Barcelona fans' doubts about the club have been wave after wave, in order to appease the anger of the fans.Barcelona's move is big.Herald was bought for more than 100 million euros, and Overmars was bought for more than 500 million euros when converted into euros for 600 million pounds.

Anyway, the Barcelona club has used up all of Figo's transfer fees.

Of course, history has proved that this transfer cost Barcelona everything.The three people who bought were not in line with their worth.

After Overmars and Pettit left Arsenal, Wenger started a crazy signing.Wiltord from Bordeaux for £300m, Jeffers from Everton for £800m, Edu from Corinthians for £600m, Stephen Dalma from Corinthians for £500m Transfer from Paris Saint-Germain.

On top of these multi-million pound moves, Stepanovs moved from Riga for £100 million.There are also some £10,000+ transfers and free players.

Anyway, Arsenal's moves this season are very big.

After introducing Manchester United and Arsenal, the third club introduced was Blackburn.

Although there are some doubts about George's transfer this summer, in the comments, Blackburn is expressed as a strong team.He also said that Blackburn is one of the strong contenders for the Premier League title this season.Even among the newspapers, it is believed that the probability of Blackburn winning the Premier League is no lower than that of Arsenal.

And the next one is Leeds United, although Leeds United failed to enter the Champions League last season.But the ambition of the Leeds United boss is still the same. First, the Australian striker Mark Viduka was introduced, and then Olivier Ducourt was introduced.

The fifth introduction is Liverpool, the number one giant in England.Houllier began a real transformation at Liverpool.Sammy Hyypia, Marcus Babel, Christian Zieger, Nicky Bambee, Bernard Diomede, Gregory Wignall, these are the summer Liverpool's.

Liverpool's original strength is not weak.With these players, Liverpool's strength has greatly increased.

However, the analysis of the media is that Liverpool has bought so many players and it depends on the effect.Although Houllier is a famous coach, Liverpool's performance has not improved significantly in the two years since he came to Liverpool.

Fortunately, the Liverpool boss is still a more patient chairman.Not only gave Houllier enough transfer fees, but also supported Houllier very much.

However, Newcastle and Chelsea, which were very strong in the past few years, ranked very far behind.In the eyes of the media, with the strength of these two clubs, it is very good to be able to work hard to get a ticket for a European game.

Especially Chelsea coach Vialli, who is now the most popular coach to dismiss get out of class in the Premier League.

…………

Because the Premier League started relatively late.So the schedule is very dense.

8月19号，进行英超第一轮。而8月24就是英超第二轮、8月26号是英超第三轮、短短七天之内就要打三场比赛。而布莱克本比赛更多，因为要在8月25号，要去打欧洲超级杯。

Therefore, Blackburn applied to the FA, hoping to change the schedule.

The FA considered Blackburn's situation and changed the second round of the Blackburn Premier League to August 8, and the third round of the Premier League to August 23.

This made Blackburn's opponents very dissatisfied.And George wasn't satisfied either.Either postpone the game and make up for it later.Why bother so much, let Black originally go back and forth.

Blackburn face Derby County in the first round.

In this game, except for George replacing Hyypia with Blanco and Riise replacing Van Bronckhorst, all the others are the original main players.

Although two main players have been changed, Blackburn has shown the strength of a strong team just like the media analysis.

"Deco... passed to Sagnol, Sagnol crossed... Klose, header!"

"It's Klose again! Last season's Blackburn's first Premier League goal was scored by Klose. I didn't expect Blackburn's first Premier League goal this season to be Klose! Blackburn leads Derby County [-]-[-] away .”

"Since Klose broke out last season, Klose has become Blackburn's biggest threat."

Just 23 minutes into the game, Klose scored Blackburn's first Premier League goal of the season after receiving a cross from Sagnol.

But this is not the end.

"Penalty! It's a penalty! It's tripping Pires, it's a penalty without a doubt!"

"Micoud stood in front of the ball, Micoud didn't run up. Shot!"

"Two to zero, two to zero! Just 34 minutes into the first half, Blackburn is already leading Derby County [-] to [-]."

"The game went really well. Derby County didn't resist at all, or they didn't resist at all. Blackburn scored two goals after a little bit of attack. Blackburn is a strong team, a team. A real strong team. Blackburn are only slightly behind Manchester United in the odds table for the league title this season."

"Blackburn told everyone. Blackburn is qualified and capable of winning the Premier League."

Martin Taylor watched Blackburn's dominant performance in the first half and praised Blackburn's strength now.

After leading two to zero, George did not continue to attack violently.There are too many games in August, and it can't be said that there are too many.There were so many games in August in the past, even more than this season.But at that time, the Premier League started in early August.

And this season's Premier League started late, and the task is heavy.So it can only be that the schedule is very dense.Including this game, George will play four games in eight days.So George hoped to preserve his strength.

Blackburn was originally a team with very strong control. When Blackburn controlled the rhythm, Derby County had no chance.Of course Derby County is also very honest.I knew I couldn't beat Blackburn, so I didn't bother to play it.

Even so, in the 33rd minute of the second half, Bellamy, who came on as a substitute for Pires, scored the third goal with his amazing speed.

In the first round of the Premier League, Blackburn beat Derby County [-]-[-] without any suspense.

Just four days later, Blackburn faced Coventry at home.

Coventry has also had a very difficult time in recent years.In other words, since the Bosman Act, these small teams have had a hard time.The small Premier League clubs with good youth training can still mix better.Just like West Ham United, they are currently enjoying a healthy life in the Premier League.

But those clubs that don't have any hematopoietic ability themselves are in a bad situation.

And Coventry happens to be one of the teams in a very bad situation.

In order to prepare for the European Super Cup, George rested many of the main players in this game.Drogba, Dave Suker, and Bellamy were deployed in the forward line, Hargreaves, McAllister, and David Dunn were used in the midfield, and Sun Jihai, Heng Heng was used in the defense. Ning Berg, Panucci, William Gallas.

It can be said that George completely changed the starting lineup.

The style of play has also become very simple.Didier Drogba was up front with Dave Suker on the left and Bellamy on the right.Hargreaves in the midfield made a big sweep in the midfield, and David Dunn was near the penalty area, ready to control the second spot at any time.The rhythm of the entire team's game was handed over to veteran McAllister.

McAllister's play in the midfield is completely different from the control of the combination of Deco and Micoud.Deco and Micoud both pass short passes instead of long ones, controlling the game more delicately.McAllister is different. His control of the game is very direct, using medium and long passes to control the game.

With the point of Drogba, Blackburn's long pass can be described as powerful.

After a season of training at Blackburn, Drogba's body is even stronger.And after the confrontation with the Premier League defender, Drogba knows how to use his body better.

In the beginning, Drogba relied more on his strong body to attack blindly.But after a season, Drogba knows how to fight against defenders, so that he can take advantage of the most and make the opponent's defender more uncomfortable.

As the core of the Blackburn midfielder, McAllister does not look like a 35-year-old veteran.After the audience, the running distance turned out to be more than [-] meters.Even the narrator is full of praise.

Under McAllister's scheduling, although the lineup was changed during the game against Coventry.But Blackburn still beat Coventry [-]-[-] away with the goals of Dave Suker and David Dunn.

At the end of the two rounds, Blackburn ranked first in the Premier League standings with six points.Ranked second is Leeds United, who also have two consecutive victories.It's just that the goal difference is less than Blackburn.Manchester United has one win and one draw, Arsenal has one win and one loss.

Although it was only two games, the strength Blackburn showed is indeed worthy of the title of a strong team.
