Chapter 343 Be serious, please!

Compared with other teams, Manchester City, which only invested less than 2000 million euros, is definitely considered low-key.

And Manchester City, in such an atmosphere, set sail in a low-key manner with a Community Shield champion.

On August 8th, the first round of the Premier League kicked off. Manchester City played away to challenge the violence.

This summer, Blackburn bought the 21-year-old Croatian star Kalinic, together with the original Santa Cruz, formed a strong striker.

Blackburn, who ranked 15th last season and was relegated in the last three rounds, decided to change his way of life!

In the 90s of the last century, Blackburn had a really good time under the leadership of Alan Shearer.It's just that the good times didn't last long, and they were relegated at the end of the season.Later, this team, like Manchester City, took the elevator and went back and forth several times.Even in the Premier League, it is only at the level of a relegation team.

Last season, they fought in the Premier League and the UEFA Cup. The team did not have enough benches and fell into the quagmire of relegation.

And their head coach Allardyce is a master of relegation.

Allardyce's tactics are a typical style of England's hard bridge and hard horse to create an rushing away. This kind of tactics is straightforward and rampant, without much technical content.

However, in the game, Allardyce will extremely emphasize the players' physical confrontation and the "hardness" of fighting for high-altitude balls, which also earned Blackburn the nickname "Violent Ben".

On this day, it may be the opening of the Premier League, or the arrival of Manchester City. The Ewood Park Stadium, which can accommodate 3 people, is full of seats.

When the sun was still high, Ewood Park was already full of people.

"Being able to rank seventh in the Premier League last season and qualify for the UEFA Cup. This incident itself proves that their strength is not bad." Andy Cole pinched the information and said: "Except for the striker Carlini Chi and Santa Cruz, as well as the veteran from Real Madrid free transfer, Salgado. In addition, the core player in their team is 'Norwegian Beckham' Petersen. This guy is a midfielder with flexible dribbling , breakthrough, dribbling and free kicks are very good.”

Andy Cole is responsible for gathering player intelligence and he knows Blackburn very well.

"With this group of players, plus Blackburn's rough and straightforward style of play. This style of play will restrain many Premier League teams. If you are not careful, you will fall into their ways." Jim - Cassel Road.

Duncan nodded: "From the perspective of overall strength, Blackburn is definitely not bad! The reason why their performance was not good last season was largely due to the two-line battle. This season, there is no constraint from the UEFA Cup, plus Introduce strong support. This violent team, whoever underestimates them, will suffer a big loss!"

The first game of the season is very important.

If you make a bad start and lose the game, it may have an impact on the player's mentality, which in turn will affect the next performance.

Under normal circumstances, most teams will choose slightly conservative tactics in the first round of the season, and first ensure that the team does not concede the ball.

Because after a summer, the players have not played official games, so they all need a process of adapting to the rhythm.

"So, in this game, our goal is three points!" In the locker room of the home team, Allardyce tapped on the tactical board to draw the key points for the players.

"As the defending champions, they must be more afraid of losing! So their tactics must be conservative and cautious!" Allardyce said with a smile: "But they didn't expect that we, as a weak team, would attack aggressively. So, gentlemen, I hope you can get excited, enter the state as soon as possible, and catch Manchester City by surprise!"

After the start of the game, Blackburn was really imposing, united around midfielder Peterson, and launched an attack towards Manchester City's penalty area.

Ambitious Allardyce stood on the sidelines vigorously, determined to show himself in the game.

In the first round of the league, the 15th place last season and the victory over the five-time champion Manchester City should be considered historic anyway, right?
He has already begun to look forward to what kind of attitude he should face the surprised reporters after defeating Duncan and Manchester United.

Is it cold?Or proud?Or crazy?

Haha, I always feel that you can pretend to be aggressive when you are pitching up and down, and heavy makeup and light application are all routines.

In fact, in a way, Allardyce did make history.In later generations, Allardyce once coached the England national team, and his coaching winning percentage reached an astonishing 100%...

Blackburn's vigorous attack really looks like a tiger.

In the 3rd minute, Peterson broke through the front court and handed it to Santa Cruz. Santa Cruz broke into the penalty area. Under the defense of Thiago Silva, the shot was not powerful.

In the 7th minute, the newly joined Kalinic retreated to take the ball, and then took a long shot from outside the penalty area, and the football slipped past the goal.

In the 8th minute, Peterson sent the ball to the side. Salgado made a cross from the side. Santa Cruz headed too straight and was caught by Joe Hart.

Allardyce nodded, a little smug: Obviously, Manchester City was beaten.So far, I have been attacking and City have been defending.

My team has already overwhelmed Manchester City in form!As long as you persevere, you will definitely score goals.

Full of confidence, Allardyce glanced at Duncan with a little complacency.

Duncan didn't notice Allardyce's gaze. He was whispering to Jim Cassell.

"Steben, this guy actually dares to attack, he's pretty tough!" Jim Cassell teased.

"Does he think that the season has just started, we will definitely play it at a low level and not play too much?" Duncan was a little puzzled.

"Well, it's really possible." Jim Cassell thought for a while, and felt that this assumption was reasonable.

Both were a little confused.

With such speculation, Allardyce has the courage to attack Manchester City?

Who gave him the courage?

This guy is either a shabby or a real bullshit.

But why is he so sure that Manchester City will not actively attack?

Didn't this guy buy Sky Sports?I don't know that in the Community Shield just now, Manchester City's momentum was like a rainbow, did they beat Manchester United to the ground?
Duncan turned his attention to the court again.

These guys are fine when they meet a strong team, but when they meet a weak team, they just look so lacking in fighting spirit.

One by one did not wake up.

Respect your opponent, okay?
Thinking of this, Duncan walked to the sidelines.

Allardyce raised his eyebrows, and the pride in his heart floated up again in an instant.

Are you disturbed by my team's constant attack?

Didn't you expect our attack to be so sharp?
Thinking of this, Allardyce felt a little proud.

Duncan didn't notice Allardyce's gaze, he just rolled his hands into tubes, put them to his mouth, and shouted into the field:
"You bastards, don't underestimate the enemy! Cheer me up!"
