Chapter 286 The first round of the group stage
Speaking of which, Blackburn has also participated in the Champions League. In the 94-95 season, Blackburn won the Premier League championship and also participated in the subsequent Champions League.

But Blackburn, who was so ambitious at the time, didn't understand what it means to sit in a well and watch the sky until he arrived in Europe.Or what is called Wo Liheng, Blackburn was a real Premier League team in those years.It was the Premier League runner-up in the 93-94 season and the Premier League champion in the 94-95 season, but it was a big meal in the Champions League.

Not only did Moscow Sparta destroy Blackburn, but even Rosenborg of the Norwegian Super League and Legia Warsaw of the Polish First Division ravaged Blackburn.

It doesn't matter if you are defeated by a team in Serie A, La Liga, Bundesliga, or even Ligue [-] and Eredivisie.But being beaten by a league team they had never heard of made Blackburn fans very frustrated.

This kind of soy sauce performance made Blackburn fans realize the reality.

And now Blackburn are in the Champions League again.But now the Blackburn fans are enthusiastic again.Why?
Blackburn is not the unseen club of last time.Blackburn already won the UEFA Cup last season, which makes Blackburn fans full of expectations for this trip to the Champions League.

On September 9, the first round of the UEFA Champions League group stage, the first game will be held at Ewood Park.

Blackburn fans are very enthusiastic.Tickets for this game were sold out even a week ago.All Blackburn fans expressed strong interest in this game, and even on the day of the game, some fans held up the "I want tickets" sign, hoping that some kind people can give up the tickets.

It's a pity that all the fans are holding on to their tickets tightly, and no one will pity the fan who begged for tickets.

Blackburn players also have their own tickets, and each of them gets three or four tickets from the club.But these tickets have already been divided up.Although most of Blackburn's players are foreign players, many of them have been in Blackburn for some years.

There are some close friends in Blackburn.

Especially people like Henning Berg and Duff have been in Blackburn for many years, and they have many relatives and friends.So even if each of them has a dozen or so, it may not be enough.People like Pires and Miku gave all their tickets to Duff.

Pires and Miku, although they came to Blackburn with George.But in Blackburn, there are no relatives and friends.

Anyway, words can't explain the popularity of this game in Blackburn.Crowds of fans filled all the places in Ewood Park more than 40 minutes before the start of the game.

When the Sparta Prague players were warming up, it was incredible to see so many fans and such enthusiastic fans.

Unlike Blackburn, Sparta Prague can participate in the Champions League almost every season.Although it is soy sauce every season, it almost stays the same every year.Been to many stadiums, including those world-renowned stadiums.

But it feels like the fans in those places combined are not as fanatical as the Blackburn fans.

George was not in the locker room this time, but came to the court early.Watching the Spartans Prague training there.Sparta Prague should resent the Bosman Act. If it weren't for the Bosman Act, they might be a European powerhouse now.

But Sparta Prague remained the overlord of the Czech Republic.Now the best star of Sparta Prague should be Rosicky, who is known as "Mozart in football".

Rosicky will be 20 years old in a month, but Rosicky is already one of the most talented midfielders in European football.Many European clubs have already begun to investigate Rosicky.George also focused on Rosicky. Rosicky is really young now.

George knew that it was impossible for Sparta Prague to keep such an outstanding and talented midfielder as Rosicky.

But no matter how young he was, George would not underestimate Rosicky.

Of course, George will definitely not defend Rosicki man-to-man. Man-to-man defense is what weak teams should do.George wants to use his own rhythm to defeat Sparta Prague, and it also prevents Rosicky from getting a good chance to get the ball.

No matter how strong Rosicky is alone, it is impossible for Sparta Prague to become a strong team in European football.

At the beginning of the game, Blackburn relied on their home court advantage to bombard Sparta Prague indiscriminately.

"It seems that George is really eager to play in the Champions League. Look at the Blackburn game now, how excited these players are."

Martin Taylor was right.The Blackburn players were very excited on the pitch, and a little too excited.Several times the pass was missed, so George kept waving his hands next to him.This group of boys really have never seen the world, a small Champions League group match needs to be so exciting.

If those passes were in the normal league, it would be impossible to pass them so outrageously.

George kept making calm gestures from the sidelines.

But fortunately, the Blackburn players were only excited in the opening stage.It calmed down quickly.How do you say that everyone is a player who has won the UEFA Cup and the UEFA Super Cup.After everyone calmed down, Blackburn's strength was revealed.

"... Sagnol, cross... Klose! Klose scored his first goal in the Champions League. This is also George's first Champions League game. George and Klose There is indeed a great relationship between the master and the apprentice.”

"George coached Blackburn, the first goal in the Premier League game was scored by Klose. And the first goal of George's team in the UEFA Cup was scored by Klose. Now George Klose scored the first Champions League goal in his coaching career."

"It's a wonderful coincidence. Or maybe it's a fate arranged by God."

"George gave Klose absolute trust, and Klose rewarded George with goals one after another."

The strength of Sparta Prague is really weak.In just three and 10 minutes of the game, Blackburn had already scored a goal.

Klose's goal can be regarded as completely igniting the enthusiasm of Blackburn fans.The last time they played in the Champions League, Blackburn fans also looked forward to it enthusiastically.But in the end Blackburn was eliminated from the Champions League very miserably.

But now Blackburn lead Sparta Prague [-]-[-].And Blackburn completely dominated the field.

The commentator shouted "Miro, Miro! Our Miro scored another goal, this is his fourth goal for the team this season. Cheer! For our Miro, cheer! !”.Hearing the encouragement of the live commentator, all Ewood Park fans were shouting "Milo Klose!".

After Klose scored a goal, he put his hand next to his ear and made a celebration of listening to the cheers of the fans.

Although Sparta Prague occasionally had some counterattacks, it was completely irrelevant to Blackburn's defense.

"Carl, what do you think of Rosicky from Sparta Prague?"

Since Klose scored, George has been very calm.Instead, my thinking began to wander.

"Yes, a very strong player. Why are you interested in him?"

Carl did not know Rosicky.In other words, if it wasn't for facing Sparta Prague, Karl would never have heard of Rosicky's name.But in order to prepare for Sparta Prague, I met Rosicky.

Karl admired Rosicky's genius very much.

In this game, Sparta Prague was almost suppressed in the half, with only a few chances to counterattack.And those counterattack opportunities were all created by Rosicky.

"I really like him. But the price is too high. If we want to win him now, it is estimated that there is not about 1000 million pounds. It is difficult to win him. Now that he is here, he is only a substitute. We don't need such a luxurious substitute. rise."

Players are worth more and more.The height is getting more and more outrageous.

Just like Rosicky, he only played in the Czech League for one season.His net worth has already risen sharply, at least seventy-eight million pounds now.And the value is still rising. George knows that he really wants to buy Rosicky, and it will be difficult to win without 800 million pounds.

Real Madrid can throw 1000 million pounds at will, and there is no problem buying it as a substitute.Not to mention 1000 million pounds, even if it was 3000 to [-] million pounds, they would not bat an eyelid.

But on Black itself, players bought for 1000 million pounds would not dare to be placed on the bench.The highest transfer in Blackburn's history so far is Ferdinand's £200 million.So even though Rosicky was jealous, George didn't dare to think of him.

"1000 million pounds, George, are you kidding me. How come I haven't heard the name Rosicky before?"

Evan questioned Rosicky's worth from the side. A 20-year-old player with a price tag of 1000 million pounds, a price that only the best geniuses in European football can have.

"Evan, you don't understand. Some clubs have already contacted them. You will know his worth later."

George clearly remembered that Rosicky was transferred this winter in history.And the transfer value is the historical record of the Bundesliga, reaching nearly 500 million euros.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!" Just as George was chatting with Evan and Carl, the live commentator's cheers rang out again. "Duff, Duff's goal. Blackburn are two-nil at home."

Blackburn played too well.

But although there is no suspense in the game, the enthusiasm of the Blackburn fans is getting higher and higher.From the beginning to the end of the game, the cheers of the Blackburn fans never stopped.

"It seems that there is absolutely no problem for Blackburn to appear in this group. Sparta Prague has no power to fight back against Blackburn."

Indeed, even Sparta Prague itself has no heart.From a second-half corner, Ferdinand scored his third goal of the game.In the end, George's first Champions League game, George ended the game with a [-]-[-] very easily.

After the game, George faced the reporters and was very happy. "We made a good start in the Champions League and I hope we can continue like this."
