Chapter 445
After scoring two goals, Blackburn's morale was boosted.

Two to one, overtaking the score.Many Blackburn players also breathed a sigh of relief.

Mom, in the last game more than 20 shots failed to score, which made many players feel depressed.The inexplicable lag at the beginning of the game made the Blackburn players feel even more disappointed.

It is an indescribable emotion.If this emotion spreads, not to mention this game, future games will also be affected.Fortunately, Blackburn equalized the score in time and overtook the score in time.

Now that the score has been overtaken, all the players are relieved at once.

The game restarted, and Blackburn easily controlled the rhythm.

After taking the lead, Alonso also stepped back.Just control the tempo in the backcourt.When Alonso controlled the rhythm, Monaco's attack was like duckweed without roots.Because Monaco's midfielder couldn't control the ball, Giuly and Roten ran back and forth but got nothing.

And Blackburn retracted, but there was more room for passing and breakthroughs.

George finally let go of his heart on the sidelines.

It seems that this important game should be able to win.George used to play in the group stage, one hit and one accurate.

Even in the group of death, Blackburn has always been at the top of the list in the group stage.Appears easily.Did not expect this season's Champions League group stage, Blackburn is so disappointing.

It is absolutely impossible for George to say that there is no pressure.

Now is the time for Blackburn to score.If even the Champions League group stage cannot appear at this time, then the team's financial problems will be serious.Fortunately, it seems that the game can be won now.

In the second half, Blackburn still played at a leisurely pace.Monaco wanted to attack, but was easily beaten back by Blackburn.

In the 69th minute of the game, Essien in midfield intercepted Giuly's ball and then handed it directly to Micoud in front.This time Miku did not pass the ball to the center, but to the side.Sagnol on the right plugged in at high speed, and then made an accurate cross.Drogba beat Squillac and scored Blackburn's third goal of the game with a head shake.

It was Drogba's second goal of the game.

"Drogba, it's Drogba!"

"Drogba scored twice and completely sealed the victory!"

"Drogba is already in the fifth season at Blackburn. From the beginning of the famous rough brother in the Premier League to now becoming a sharp knife in Blackburn's striker, Drogba's progress is really amazing. Now Drog Ba, proficient in headers, long-range shots. Even free kicks."

"If he can improve his scoring efficiency a lot, then he is a well-deserved world-class center. But now George is going to have a headache."

"Klose, Drogba, who to choose as the main force. Having two such outstanding strikers is a sweet worry."

Martin Taylor spoke highly of Drogba.In Martin Taylor's view, Drogba and Klose are completely forwards of the same level.Both are world class strikers now.

George clapped hands with Blanco next to him.

Three to one, defeated Monaco, Blackburn's qualifying situation in this group is still very good.

But George was not happy yet, so he frowned again.

After conceding the ball, Monaco has no burden.Anyway, they have already lost two goals, so they started to attack violently.

Only 4 minutes away from Drogba's goal, the pass from the backcourt of Monaco was handed over to Giuly.At this time, Hargreaves in the midfield stepped forward, facing Giuly with a sliding tackle.Kicked the ball out of the touchline very cleanly.

There were no foul moves, it was very clean and tidy.

But before the applause, Hargreaves lay on the ground and did not get up.

"Hargreaves, it seems to be injured. Just after sliding the shovel, I haven't stood up until now."

"Let's look at the return visit. There was no physical collision between Hargreaves and Giuly. This is just that Hargreaves strained himself when he tackled the ball. I don't know where the injury is?"

It's a rainy day and it's easy to strain.George saw that Hargreaves was injured by a shovel and thought it was a thigh strain.After all, on such a slippery field, it is easy to strain the thigh with a tackle on the ground.

After the team doctor stepped forward to check, he shook his head at George.Then he gestured for a substitution.

When passing by George, he whispered to George. "Irving injured his knee ligament. It's serious, very serious."

George was startled.

A thigh strain is already a very difficult injury to treat.Now it's a knee injury.

Knee ligament, that's no ordinary minor injury.

This is a very fragile place of the human body, or once this place is strained, it is not a small problem.

Hargreaves, George is pretty lean.Since Makelele left Blackburn, George has always used Hargreaves very much.Even for Hargreaves, even Essien was firmly pressed on the bench.

Because of this incident, that boy Alan has approached George many times.But George never let go.

Essien performed well in Ligue [-], and now I don't know how many clubs are interested in him.Allen hopes to turn Essien into another cash cow for himself.But since returning to Blackburn, Essien has been nailed to the bench by George.

Therefore, Essien's salary is the bottom salary of Blackburn.

This made Allen quite dissatisfied.

But George wasn't embarrassed at all.After all, George is the head coach of the club. Whoever is strong and performs well should be the main force.

Hargreaves is only a year older than Essien, but he is far better than Essien.

Defense, offense, and running are far better than the current Essien.George is very fond of Hargreaves.Hargreaves is tough and has a lot of passion on the court.As long as you let Hargreaves play, you can see him anywhere on the court.

In addition, Hargreaves is an England player, and has a strong appeal among fans.George even thought about straightening Hargreaves completely.Let Hargreaves become the absolute core player of the team.And give Hargreaves a captaincy.
In such an important juncture, Hargreaves turned out to be a knee injury.

George can only replace Hargreaves with Essien.

The Monaco players were not at all elated when Hargreaves was off.Instead, they smiled wryly.Because they saw Essien, the beast who used to be all-powerful in Ligue [-].They clearly remembered Essien's strength.

Seeing Essien coming off the bench, Deschamps could only smile wryly.

If Essien is in the Ligue [-] club, no matter which club it is, he will be the absolute main force.Essien is such an excellent midfielder, but he was just a substitute in Blackburn.This makes those Ligue [-] clubs feel embarrassed.

This is the gap between the two teams.This is the strength of the Blackburn strong team.

The game was uneventful.

Blackburn finally beat Monaco [-]-[-] at home.Although there were some accidents in the game, there was no suspense on the whole.

"Blackburn finally won their first victory in the Champions League group stage. Three to one, Blackburn swept away the haze and walked out of the shadow of the first two games. At the end of the three games, Blackburn had four points, while Monaco had accumulated four points. Six points."

"In the other game that just ended, PSV defeated AEK Athens [-]-[-] away. In this way, in this group, Monaco and PSV have accumulated six points, and Blackburn has accumulated four points. , AEK Athens scored one point."

"After the draw, everyone believed that Blackburn had booked a spot. The remaining spot was Monaco or Eindhoven, but I didn't expect that the current situation of this group is a bit confusing."

After the game, Martin Taylor summed up the game.

Although the situation in the group stage is very chaotic.But George was satisfied.There are still three games left. As long as there are no mistakes in these three games, there will definitely be no problem in appearing.

And now Drogba is getting better and better.

With Drogba, you can form a good competition with Klose.Moreover, Drogba's control in the frontcourt also has a rich supplementary ability to Blackburn's style of play.

If the only dissatisfaction is Hargreaves' injury.

"How's it going?"

Hargreaves was a glass man in his previous life.So George paid close attention to Hargreaves' physique.In the past few seasons, Hargreaves has paid the most attention to George at the club.Blackburn's team doctor has to check Hargreaves' body thoroughly almost every once in a while.

This is what George asked for.

If there was anything wrong with Hargreaves, George hoped to catch Hargreaves' problems early.

However, Hargreaves has not found any problems in the past few seasons.

George thought he had a hack of a time traveler.Hargreaves was a gift from heaven.Unexpectedly, he was still injured.

"The knee ligament is strained. According to the current situation, at least three months of rest will be required."

Hargreaves has been sent to a nearby hospital.George was asking Hargreaves' doctor.

"Strained knee ligament?"

George frowned.As a football coach, of course George understands what a torn ACL means?In fact, for some minor strains, it only takes half a month and 20 days to recover.But with some big injuries, even a year off is not enough.

Now say three months, it is a blessing in misfortune.

"Won't it be repeated?" The most taboo thing about this kind of injury is repetition.

The attending doctor shook his head.

"Owen's physique is different from others. The knee is more fragile than others. That is to say, the probability of injury is higher than others. The ligament strain is likely to become his habitual injury. But don't worry, we I will try my best to prevent his injury from recurring."

George nodded.
