Chapter 290 Ericson
George is also contented now.George himself did not expect Blackburn to be in such an amazing state this season.

Especially the attackers Micoud, Pires, Klose and Duff in the frontcourt are in very good condition.Klose has maintained his form from last season, scoring seven goals in ten games.And Klose didn't play all ten games, but seven games.Seven goals in seven games, this scoring rate is amazing.While Micoud's control in the frontcourt became more and more comfortable, and Pires' breakthrough became more and more sharp.

But no matter what, it is now a ten-game winning streak.George's unhappiness is fake.

It's just that there is no time to celebrate because there are too many games.Otherwise, George really hopes to celebrate with his players.

On September 9, after the Bradford game, Blackburn soon played at home against Lazio from Italy.The game is scheduled for September 23.

Unlike Blackburn who have played ten games now, the current Serie A has not even started.

The Serie A season has been postponed until October 10st.In other words, it is one month later than in previous years.Therefore, Lazio has not played in the league so far, only played two Champions League games.

There are pros and cons to this.

Chinese media will often encounter this situation in Lazio.But their ability to make excuses is the best in the world.

If the opponent's situation is the same as that of Lazio, then once the Chinese team loses the game, the Chinese media will say that the opponent has not played in the league and therefore has sufficient physical strength.The Chinese clubs are not only distracted because they play in the league, but also physically weaker than their opponents.

Of course, once it is a Chinese club, the situation is the same as Lazio.In the end, if the game is lost, the Chinese media will say that the Chinese club has not yet played in the league, so they have not entered the rhythm of the game.

In fact, both of these arguments make sense.

If you don't play in the league, it is indeed not easy to get into the rhythm of the game.But again, Lazio has a complete advantage over Blackburn in terms of physical strength.But this stuff is just talk.When it comes to the field, it still depends on the real ability.

The three Italian clubs playing in the Champions League this time will have two head-to-head duels.

One is Juventus facing Deportivo, and the other is AC Milan facing Barcelona.Both of their teams drew lots to the Group of Death.

Milan is okay, with one win and one draw in the first two rounds, the hope of breaking through is still quite high.But the Juventus situation is very bad.

Lost to Arsenal in the first round, Juventus was even tied [-]-[-] by Panathinaikos, the weakest in the group, in the second round.It was considered to be a well-recognized fish belly when the lottery was drawn, but Panathinaikos showed amazing strength in the first two rounds.

The first round was a draw with Deportivo, and the second round was a draw with Juventus.Juventus only scored one point in two rounds, ranking bottom in this group stage.Arsenal ranked first with one win and one draw, while Deportivo and Panathinaikos both had two points.

Now Juventus has reached the most important stage.Once there is another mistake against Deportivo in this scene, Juventus, the Serie A giant, will fall in the group stage.

There are two heavyweight games, but the Italian media paid more attention to the match between Lazio and Blackburn.

Although Lazio and Blackburn can be regarded as a strong dialogue, but breaking through this group, the two teams basically have no problems.Even if these two teams are competing, they are only competing for No. 1 in the group.But the attention it received turned out to exceed the other two games.

This is mainly because George is too famous, or notorious.

In Italian football, George can be regarded as a stinky street.Basically, no one in Italian football does not know George.George has been the public enemy of Italian football since last year.From the victory over Roma, George kept criticizing Italian football.

This made the always proud Italian footballers very angry, so they also hated George very much.

It's just that George has only played against Rome so far.And the game was won.

Therefore, Italian football hopes that there will be an Italian club that can teach George a lesson, an arrogant and arrogant kid.

Lazio's current strength is just in full swing.Lazio's lineup is not too much compared to those European football giants.Let Lazio teach George a lesson, let George know how high the sky is and how thick the ground is.

Therefore, many Italian journalists followed Lazio to Blackburn.There are nearly 30 people here, which is completely the treatment of the Champions League knockout round.

Even reporters from Lazio clamored before the game, "Look at Rome, how we dealt with Blackburn.".

…………

Blackburn fans are full of enthusiasm for this time the Champions League itself.And this time Blackburn came from a strong team from Italy, the Serie A champion last season.

Blackburn fans don't care who the opponent is?

We have defeated Real Madrid, what is Lazio!
Therefore, Blackburn fans are more enthusiastic in this game.

Williams looked at the fans who stood on the sidelines because they didn't buy tickets, and his heart became more and more happy.The Champions League is really a good game.The ticket price alone is more expensive than ordinary league matches, and there are still so many fans.

Playing in the Champions League, there are bonuses, broadcast fees, and these tickets, which is a very high income for a club.

But Williams still has some dissatisfaction.

Ewood Park is simply too small.It can only accommodate 3 people, which is too wasteful.Although Blackburn is not big, it also has 14 people.And in the entire Blackburn, there is only one professional club in Blackburn.All Blackburn citizens are Blackburn supporters.

And Blackburn is not a big place, but the whole of Lancashire is not small.Especially the non-metropolitan areas next to Blackburn, including Preston, Chorley, Rosendale, and Hindburn.Although they also have their own professional teams, the highest level among those teams is the League One.

That is Preston Football Club.With the exception of Preston, the other clubs are in the third tier, fourth tier and even the National League.

Because the place is very close, fans from Rosendale and Hindburn also came to support Blackburn at this time.

Burnley, where George used to be, was poor, but Lancashire was not.There are many rich Englishmen in Lancashire, and the quantity and quality of rich Englishmen in Lancashire is among the best in England even in the whole of England.

So in Williams' view, Blackburn's potential for development goes beyond that.

3 people are still too small compared to the huge number of fans.

The idea of ​​building a new stadium popped into Williams' mind.But this kind of thought is just a flash, after all, building a new stadium is definitely not easy.Hundreds of millions of pounds are needed.This is not a small amount.

George came to the court early, without the tension before the war.

George watched Lazio warming up there and shook his head in his heart.The current Lazio is very strong, from goalkeeper to defender, midfielder and forward are all well-known players in the world.It's a pity that such a group of good players will fall apart after winning the league championship.

Lazio, also after the football bubble, fell a rather regrettable team.

At this time Eriksson also came to the sidelines.At this time, Eriksson was in high spirits. The 52-year-old Eriksson has been coaching for more than 20 years.When Eriksson coached for the first time, he was also a 30-year-old young coach.

George is now a very young coach in European football.It is indeed not easy to achieve such results at George's age.

But Eriksson didn't give up at all.At the age of 34, he led the Swedish club Gothenburg to win the UEFA Cup.Just three years after George.Later, Eriksson moved around for many years and won several Portuguese league championships in Benfica.

Of course the most brilliant is of course in Lazio.During his years in Lazio, he won the Coppa Italia, the European Cup Winners' Cup, and even won the Serie A last season.

After George knew that Keegan was dismissed from get out of class, Eriksson became the head coach of the England national team with high voices.

As the host, George took the initiative to say hello to Eriksson.

Eriksson, when he was a fan in later generations, George looked down on him.At that time, I felt that Eriksson blindly indulged the big names in England, and the England team did not perform well in his hands.

On the contrary, Eriksson always broke out some scandals in the England national team.

George felt that Eriksson was really a useless head coach.But I didn't expect to come to this world, and only after I became an insider did I know the current reputation of Eriksson in European football.

Don't look at Eriksson who only has the Cup Winners' Cup and the UEFA Cup, and there is no heavyweight championship like the Champions League.But Eriksen is currently one of the most popular managers in European football.If you haven't really rolled in European football, you don't know that Eriksson still has such a glorious moment in European football at this time.

But George just sighed.

Even if Eriksson is famous, can he compare with Ferguson, Robson, Capello?These world-class coaches George have all defeated, not to mention Eriksson who George looks down on.

This is the first time George and Eriksson have played against each other and also met for the first time.The two of them just greeted each other politely, and there was nothing more to chat about after they finished speaking.

The on-site warm-up was very short. After a brief warm-up, everyone returned to the locker room.

"This is a game between the Serie A champions and Premier League No.2 last season. Serie A has not yet started, but there is no doubt that Lazio is strong. Blackburn is in amazing form this season and is already ahead of No.2 Manchester United in the Premier League. point."

"It's a really strong dialogue. A game between the top teams in Serie A and the top teams in the Premier League."

"Eriksen is a famous coach in Europe, and George is the youngest head coach in the Champions League. The collision between them will be very interesting. Let us look forward to a wonderful game."

Mortensen got into the announcer job early.
