Chapter 489
On October 10, Blackburn arrived at Stamford Bridge.

George is no stranger to this stadium.The entire European football world is no stranger to Stamford Bridge Stadium.

But Stamford Bridge is different now.Although the hardware facilities are still the same, it is really different for any club.

At the current Stamford Bridge Stadium, no team is willing to come here.

Chelsea are too strong right now.

Both sides were very low-key before the game.Because this round of competition is not just about Blackburn and Chelsea.There is also an away game for Arsenal to challenge Manchester United.

In the current Premier League, Arsenal is the most concerned.

Therefore, Manchester United's home game against Arsenal is the highlight of this round.

George is now mainly focusing on the internal affairs of the team.And Mourinho is now gaining momentum.Facing George and Blackburn, Mourinho wants revenge.

Losing to George and Blackburn in the Champions League last season, Mourinho was dissatisfied.

Because Porto lost to Blackburn, Mourinho did not think he lost to George.If Porto is a little stronger, Mourinho thinks he can beat George.So Mourinho always held his breath in his heart.

This time I came to the Premier League and coached Chelsea.

He is very satisfied with the current Chelsea players.

He is now confident that he will be able to fight George.

Mourinho looked serious.

He was wearing a windbreaker, standing there coolly.

At this time, the "Song of Mourinho" came from the North Stand of the Stamford Bridge Stadium.Just at this time, George also came out.

George looked unconsciously at the North Stand of Stamford Bridge.

Although Stamford Bridge is not as famous as Anfield Stadium.But George has been in England for so many years, of course he knows that the North Stand of Stamford Bridge Stadium is the stand for diehard Chelsea fans.

George looked at the cool Mourinho in front of him again.

I have to admire Mourinho.

How long has it been since I arrived at Chelsea, and Chelsea's diehard fans have already supported Mourinho so much.

Amazing.

George shook his head and came to Mourinho's side.

George and Mourinho shake hands.

"Coach Mourinho, it looks like you're doing well at Chelsea."

George has a smile on his face, but Mourinho doesn't have any smile. "Coach Levy, you'll soon find out that I've done a better job at Chelsea than you at Blackburn."

George laughed.

"Okay, I'll wait."

After the two finished speaking, they left.

"Alan, tell me, what are George and Mourinho talking about?"

Mortensen looked at the two coaches with the most personality in England, and asked Alan Hansen next to him.

"I can guess." Alan Hansen spoke with certainty. "George must have warned Mourinho arrogantly, saying that the Premier League is so difficult to mix. If you bid farewell to his dock, he might be able to take care of one or two."
"Hahaha, Alan, you." Mortensen pointed at Alan Hansen and smiled.But followed by a very serious look. "Mourinho must answer: If you beg for mercy, I may save your face. Let you leave the Premier League with dignity."

Mortensen and Alan Hansen just sat there making fun of George and Mourinho.

Of course, for them, making fun of famous coaches like George and Mourinho is also a very fun thing.

"Okay, let's introduce the starting lineup of both sides first. Chelsea's starting goalkeeper is Abbiati, the defenders are Gallas, Terry, Carvalho, Ferreira, the midfielders are Robben, Lampard, Hargreaves, Makelele, Duff, Tony up front."

"Look at Blackburn's starting XI. Veteran van der Sar in goal, Riise, Lucio, Lescott, Sun Jihai in defenders, Pires, Kaka, Alonso, Essien, Ribe in midfield Here, the striker is Klose."

Mortensen saw the players come in and had already started work.

"John, have you found something very interesting?"

"what?"

"John, take a good look at the starting lists of both sides." Alan Hansen said with a smile: "Look, how many of Chelsea have played under George before. Gallas, Hargreaves, Mark Lailai and Duff were all generals under George back then."

"Makelele and Duff were the main players for Blackburn to win the Premier League and the Champions League. Hargreaves was the main player for Blackburn in the first two seasons, and Gallas has always been Blackburn's main player. Important substitute."

Mortensen nodded.

"That's true. Not only them, Lampard also played under George back then."

"Huh? There is such a thing, why don't I know about it." Alan Hansen asked doubtfully.

"That was a long time ago. It was when George was at Burnley and Lampard played under George for half a season."

"So Chelsea and Blackburn have a lot going on."

When the two were talking, the referee had already blown the whistle for the game.

After the game started, everyone was taken aback.

George and Mourinho, the most personal coaches in English football.But both of them are the most utilitarian head coaches.Both of them are playing football more and more boring now.Both are playing defensive counterattacks.

But after the game started, it was not like that.

George and Mourinho, without any temptation at all, started the confrontation directly.

The pace of both sides is very fast.

"Duff, cross... Tony, header back... Lampard, shot! Over the bar."

"Kaka, he's fast... long shot! Hit Terry's leg. Corner!"

"Roben... broke through Sun Jihai and shot! It hit the post, what a pity."

"Pirres, cross... Klose, header! Abbiati saves it!"

Neither side has any reservations.

Chelsea and Blackburn are both playing wide assault.However, the sides play differently.

Chelsea's wings are Robben and Duff, they play as wingers.Robben and Duff usually dribble in, either shoot themselves, or pass it to Lampard who plugs in.

As for Tony, it was more about covering Lampard, Robben and Duff.

But Blackburn's wing attack was different.

Pires and Ribery are more outsiders.Then make a cross.

Chelsea is the main side of Sun Jihai.Sun Jihai was very tired facing Robben.It is because the frequency of Robben's footsteps is too fast.Mourinho just took a fancy to Blackburn's Maicon and Sun Jihai's defensive strength on the right.

On Blackburn's side, it's the side that focuses on Ferreira.

Ferreira, famous in Porto.Last season, he was the best right back in the Champions League.

He is also a direct descendant of Mourinho.

But after arriving in the Premier League this season, his performance was very unstable.

George handed Ferreira to Pires.George is very confident in Pires. With his experience and strength, he should have no problem with Ferreira.

But after the game started, George found out.

Pires is really old.

Although his skills are getting better and better, and his passing is getting more and more sophisticated, it is a pity that his explosive power and extraordinary skills have gradually regressed.

Pires has a strong ability to escape in situ, but it is a pity that the previous rush on the side is much less.If it is for other teams, the ability to get rid of it in situ is also very important.Plus Pires' passing is excellent, so there are not many problems.

But not against Chelsea.

Chelsea's defense is quite distinctive.By flattening the formation, they have to face the siege of the defenders all the time in Chelsea's half, and the passing line is even more seriously blocked.Especially Mourinho, put heavy troops in the middle.

Therefore, only opening the sidewalk is the best way.

But Pires is not strong.Not as lively as Ribery on the right.Only on Ribery's side, Gallas' defense is still very good.

So after playing for nearly 10 minutes, the scene began to favor Chelsea.

In the 27th minute of the game, Robben, who performed well, got the ball again.

As soon as Robben got the ball, Blackburn's defense was very tense.

Robben is really great.One person can disrupt the opponent's defense.

And Robben's stop is very beautiful.When Sun Jihai snatched it, he just accelerated and easily wiped past Sun Jihai.Sun Jihai was shocked. In fact, Sun Jihai had already blocked Robben. Unfortunately, he didn't expect that Robben bypassed Sun Jihai at such a fast speed.

After Robben got the ball, he went straight into the penalty area.

Van der Sar's goal is very dangerous.

Lescott came to defend.Robben's sudden inside cut shook Lescott.When Lescott was stunned, Robben didn't continue to cut in, but swiped in with his left foot and directly entered the penalty area.

Even after Sun Jihai and Lescott, Robben faced Van der Sar single-handedly.

"Roben...it's a one-shot, shoot!"

Robben's pace is fast.Seeing that Lucio next to him was coming, he flicked his left foot and the ball went out.

Van der Sar tried his best to save, but it was too close and too fast.

The ball went in from Van der Sar's side.

"Roben!"

"One to zero, one to zero. Chelsea are ahead of Blackburn."

"GOOOAL!!! Chelsea broke the deadlock. This goal is completely a manifestation of Robben's personal strength."

"Blackburn has too many defensive problems. If George can't solve this problem as soon as possible, Blackburn will have more and more problems this season."

When Robben scored, Mourinho suddenly ran wild and kept pumping his fists.

One click, two clicks, three clicks, four clicks.

And the place to celebrate was right in front of George.

George knew that Mourinho must have done this on purpose.And George also knew that the director must be firmly locked on himself at this time.So George didn't even look at him, and looked at the field expressionlessly.

George doesn't give anyone a chance to joke around.
