Chapter 30: Top Confrontation
Sergio is telling Blackburn Deportivo the attitude of the game with such a move, that is, tough and ferocious!
Even the La Liga team that represents the flow of technology meets the Premier League team that flows physically, and they do not show their momentum and courage!
However, Sergio ignored the fact that Duff, who was in almost the same position in the first half, had been tackled off by Mauro Silva, so his move almost caused a clash between the two teams. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The clash was quelled after the referee showed Deportivo La Coruna two yellow cards and one from Blackburn Alonso.
After the resumption of play, Blackburn's attack was shattered by Deportivo LaCoruna's tough defense, which turned Deportivo La Coruna into a Premier League team by England commentators such as Lineker.
Blackburn, on the other hand, seem to have become "girly" due to Duff's injury, and Ibrahimovic and Giuli have run to the perfect position on several occasions, however, the team's attack is always fragmented, and it is difficult to really hit the heart of Deportivo La Coruna.
However, is Blackburn, who Mourinho has been carefully building for more than three years, such a team that is easy to be pressed to death?
With a star like Alonso with a subtle long pass, and a fast player on the sideline like Ashley Cole and Gyuli, Blackburn can make a killing move with just one gap!
Between the transitions, Alonso split the flanks and Ashley Cole won the ball and sprinted down the left flank, sending a long pass to Gyuli on the right as Mauro Silva stepped forward to press for it.
However, this ball Ashley Cole did not master the footwork well, resulting in a pass a little too forward, and Gyuli could only speed up a few steps, resulting in a large stoppage.
Gyuli hurriedly controlled the football, and Pablo followed suit. Gyuli swayed from side to side with his back, suddenly stepped on the ball and turned to pull the ball, and with a single move, he faced Pablo head-on.
Pablo saw the moment and reached out directly, ready to break the ball while Jiuli was not on his feet.
Gyuli was still hesitating whether to break through or pass, but Pablo's kick immediately made up his mind. I saw that as soon as Gyuli picked up the outside instep, the football flew over Pablo's feet, and then he rushed under his feet, and Pablo was broken through by Gyuli before he could close his feet.
This is the advantage of being small and flexible, and it is very exciting!
From pulling the ball to picking the ball, the whole set of movements was coherent and smooth, and even the local commentator of Schalke, who watched the game a lot, couldn't help but admire.
Gyuli quickly broke through with the ball, and Sergio and Andrade followed him, and they were on the back defense before, and when they saw Pablo being broken through, the two immediately chased after Gyuli.
Andrade immediately slammed his body into Gyuli, trying to use his body to jam Gyuli's swing move. But Gyuli flicked his left foot out, and although he staggered, he still controlled the ball at his feet.
Gyuli staggered with the ball, and although he was not yet at his best shot and could not see the space to pass the ball to Ibrahimovic in the middle, if he continued to carry it, Giuli would inevitably fall into the middle of a trio of Andrade, Sergio and Pablo.
Gyuli simply stopped carrying the ball, ready to be blindfolded, silver teeth clenched, his right foot pulled the ball out fiercely, and the football flew towards Deportivo La Coruna's goal with an outward spinning arc.
This ball is still played with great quality, especially considering that Jiuli is staggering with the ball, and it is even more rare to hit this ball.
But after all, it is not yet the best range, the football is really far from the goal, as soon as the football flies close to the goal, I see Molina flying and leaping, blocking the ball with the palm of his hand - although Gyuli's shot did not penetrate Molina's ten fingers, but obviously his shooting power also made Molina feel afraid, and he could only choose to hit the bottom line, rather than hold on.
The Blackburn fans sat back in disappointment, the goal was just a little bit away from the goal, and if it was a little closer, I believe Molina would be helpless.
However, just when Blackburn was still regretting that Gyuli could not stretch the score, they unexpectedly came suddenly.
"Woohahaha!" Schalke was cheering all over the field, and just when Blackburn's defense was not completely settled, Deportivo La Coruna served the ball quickly.
Belleron received a long pass from Molina near the center circle, Pablo received the ball on the left and went down, at this time Ashley Cole was not in a good position, Pablo crossed from the left side of the penalty area, Pandiani's volley from 14 yards grazed the right post and pierced Friedel's ten fingers, and the American goalkeeper was completely powerless to shoot from this excellent angle.
1:1!
Deportivo La Coruna seized their chances at the start of the second half and equalised as the two teams returned to the same running line.
"It's okay! Never mind! Mourinho made a three-to-three gesture to the players on the pitch on the sidelines, and then clenched his fists hard.
Blackburn, who were equalised by Super Laco, did not panic, Mourinho and his men had expected a tough game before the game, after all, this was the Champions League final representing the highest level of European football, and no one in Blackburn would be delusional about killing their opponents quickly in a short period of time.
After the re-kick-off, Ibrahimovic and Giuli worked diligently to pull through the gaps, while the central trio of Marcos Alonso, Frank Lampard and Mendieta carefully watched each other's positions and habits. As long as they can find a gap in the Deportivo Defence and Ibrahimovic and Giuli can get in place, then this game could be decided at that moment.
Deportivo La Coruna's goal was scored by taking advantage of the gap between Blackburn's attack and defence, and after Mourinho replaced Giuli with Deco, Black's formation changed to 4-3-2-1, with Claude Makelele, Alonso and Deco forming a back three, with only Ibrahimovic at the front in an attempt to strengthen the team's midfield defence.
Jose Mourinho clearly intends to send the game to extra-time, as Blackburn, who have dropped the league early, are clearly more fit, and their fitness advantage will be even more pronounced in extra-time.
As the end of the game draws closer, Deportivo La Coruna is reluctant to settle for a draw, and this is where the characteristics of this La Liga team are revealed, and although it is a dangerous and risky move, it is also the charm of Super Laco.
Arthur in the box also appreciates Super Laco's drive, and their game will obviously look better than Blackburn's current defensive counter-attacking play, but such a tactic is hardly a tactical option for the championship team.
Deportivo La Coruna's midfielders all moved forward about 10 metres to form a small connection with the backline, which was immediately noticed by Blackburn's three midfield players.
With Andrade and Sergio both lunging forward to keep Blackburn Rovers in the middle, Ibrahimovic immediately retreated to keep his distance from them, but Romero behind him did not dare to do so, as neither Lampard nor Mendieta were slow to do so, and if they both took the opportunity to cut inward, they would put their team-mates at the back on the back.
A split second chance was finally captured, but Deco's pass was broken out of the touchline by Andrade, much to the regret of Mendetayib, who had run in place.
But Mendieta and Ibrahimovic's physical runs paid off, and in the 81st minute, Deco made a brilliant long-distance through ball from the back.
Mendieta retreated to receive the ball, but there was no Deportivo player around to mark the ball, Mendieta took the ball without a trace of hesitation, and directly strode the ball straight into the door of Deportivo La Coruna.
Now Mendieta's speed is not top-notch, and Naibet has pressed up, adjusting his rhythm and constantly retreating, avoiding being accelerated by Mendieta.
In the eyes of Naibet and others, Mendieta is no longer the midfield superstar of the Valencia period in the past, but just a bleak and falling meteor, and Naibet is naturally not afraid.
Nebet calmly used his experience to estimate Mendieta's tempo and suddenly pounced on Mendieta's right foot.
But to Naibet's surprise, Mendieta suddenly changed direction, flicked the ball with the outside of his left foot, and a switchback line shook Naibet and headed straight for Deportivo La Coruna.
Breakthrough success!
At this moment, all the Valencia fans and Mendieta fans couldn't help but stand up, because at this moment they seemed to see the all-powerful genius of the past again.
Romero immediately chased Mendieta, but when he entered the box, Gatedieta didn't give him a chance at all, and in the face of the attacking Molina, he slotted the ball across the middle with his right foot, and there, Ibrahimovic, who was also running relentlessly.
In the face of most of the empty goal, Ibrahimovic did not need any skill, just a gentle push of the arch of his foot, and the football obediently flew into the door of Deportivo La Coruna.
“gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!”
Ibrahimovic stopped himself, then in ecstasy, spread his arms and rushed towards Mendieta, who had selflessly assisted.
Forty per cent of the credit for the goal went to Deco, who sent a long ball in midfield, 50 per cent to Mendieta, and only 10 per cent to score the goal.
Ibrahimovic and Mendieta hugged and ran to the stands where Blackburn Rovers were congregated, raising their arms to the cheers of the fans.
When Ibrahimovic sent the ball into Deportivo for the second time, all the Deportivo fans at the Schalke Stadium fell silent.
Blackburn Rovers took the lead again thanks to Mendieta's unexpected outburst, and with little time left, and with fewer than 10 minutes of stoppage time, the balance of victory has tipped in Blackburn's favor significantly.
Blake had already sung his team's song at Schalke Stadium, and even if the Deportivo fans cheered for the team, Blackburn's new team song "Guns and Roses" could still be heard clearly at Schalke.
In terms of fans, the Premier League and Bundesliga are the most loyal and united in the top leagues of the Champions League, while La Liga, Ligue 1 and Serie A are far behind.
But how could Deportivo La Coruna be willing to swallow the bitter fruit of defeat in Schalke at the last step of the Champions League final?
Irueta played the last two cards, switching to Dejaminha and Forlan and switching to a 3-5-3 formation, ready to fight to the death.
Jose Mourinho also replaced goal-scorer Ibrahimovic with Cristiano Ronaldo, ready to use his speed and fitness to attack Deportivo LaCoruna's defence, and the rest of the players on the field all retracted into the half, with Claude Makelele and Cambiasso forming a purely defensive double midfield. With Blackburn consciously retracting, Deportivo regained the initiative on the field with a quick adjustment.
Mourinho and Irueta used their tactics to their extremes at this time, and the final fight was the strength of the players on both sides.
Claude Makelle and Cambiasso dropped deep and ran at the back, with the pair almost giving up on attacking, while Deportivo began to frantically attack Blackburn's backline, almost around Blackburn's half.
De Jaminha, who had just been replaced, unexpectedly exploded in the big picture, and he broke down the left flank to completely neutralize Ashley Cole.
Ashley Cole kept falling back to contain De Jaminha's breakthrough, but De Jaminha suddenly flicked the ball forward, and one accelerated around his defense, Ashley Cole's speed was completely out of his pace, and one stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
Cambiaso hurriedly made up for it, but De Giaminha couldn't reach the bottom line and crossed the ball to the middle, and Andrade and Forlan immediately rushed to the front of the penalty area with the Blackburn defenders.
Forlan's right toe was placed on the bottom of the ball, and the ball ran down Fran's foot to avoid a steal from Kawa Road. Then, Forlan suddenly changed his toes downward, knocked his heel to bring the ball in front of him, resisted the squeeze of Kawa Lu to adjust the rhythm, and then picked up his body in the opposite direction to avoid Kawalu's sticky defense, the jersey was torn apart for a long time, and Forlan burst into the penalty area and followed by a left-footed blast.
The Deportivo fans who went to Schalke were already jumping with excitement.
However, Forlan's shot was blocked by a sliding tackle by Stam who rushed to make up for it.
Soon, Deportivo La Coruna's corner kick was opened, Belleron quickly kicked a tactical corner, Dejaminha in front of the post received a cross, Andrade pulled out of the box with a left-footed heel to avoid Stamm's steal, cut inside to adjust a step and volley with his right foot.
The ball bypassed the crowd in the penalty area, and with a "bang" hit Blackburn's post, Victor quickly stepped forward with his right foot to follow up with a follow-up shot, but was blocked by Friedel on the goal line.
The intense competition left everyone watching the game breathless and even a little parched.
Andrade and other Deportivo players all held their heads regretfully, and their luck was too bad.
Irueta walked anxiously on the sidelines, raising his wrist from time to time to check the time, but by this time he had used up his three substitutions, and everything was left to fate!
And Mourinho, who is also constantly walking with Iruetta, is also constantly shouting at the players on the field.
And the game time has come to the 89th minute of the game. (To be continued.) )
