"Well, what kind of play is Blackburn?"

After watching it for five minutes, Mortenson said suspiciously.

"It's not a Blackburn style of play at all. Blake shouldn't have been that way to play, that's not their style. Blackburn are a team with a technical stream, and it's a team that's already in shape. They ...... now"

"This is tantamount to cutting off one's own arm, completely giving up one's own advantages. Does George want a draw away from home and then be ready to win at home? ”

Mortenson was inexplicable. In Mortenson's opinion, George is definitely not the right coach of this style.

"yes, how come I didn't see that George had choked Arsenal's weakness so far in the game."

Mortenson and Alain. Hansen and the two questioned George.

But the party George, but Erlang's legs were crossed and looked at the field. And Arsene Wenger, who has always been steady, stood on the sidelines. This is a very rare thing.

Because George prefers to stand on the sidelines, although he doesn't shout loudly and then do some movements, he likes to stand quietly on the sidelines and watch the game during the game. Arsene Wenger, on the other hand, wore more of a tie in the game and then sat very gentlemanly on the bench.

It's a pity that this game was completely reversed.

But now things can't help but Wenger is not in a hurry. As soon as George's starting list came out, Arsene Wenger already understood George's thoughts. And as soon as the game began, Arsene Wenger had already determined George's intentions.

But understanding is clear, definite is certain, this is a fundamentally unsolvable answer.

Blackburn on the field fought fiercely and the ball was fast. The pace is fast, probably for the first time in Blackburn's game this season. And the ball is not only on the ground, but more in the air.

George is playing Arsenal's lack of physical strength.

Arsenal's biggest weakness is the serious lack of depth on their bench. Although Arsenal is a strong team in the Premier League, their bench thickness is not even as good as that of Chelsea, Liverpool, Tottenham and Newcastle. The lack of depth on Arsenal's bench was definitely not something that arose after the construction of the Emirates Stadium.

In fact, the current Arsenal already have this kind of problem. And very seriously.

Not to mention that Bergkamp and Vieira do not have good substitutes in these positions, and even the 34-year-old central defenders Adams and Keown, they have no qualified substitutes. It can be said that Arsenal's results in the Premier League are spelled out with the main lineup.

In addition, Wenger has never been a rotation master, and compared to Ferguson, Wenger is a bit rigid in his use of personnel. Although Arsene Wenger was able to create a system, coupled with the ability to turn stones into gold, he became a generation of famous managers in world football.

But Arsene Wenger also has big problems. His on-the-spot command during the game was a bit mechanical and he didn't like to rotate very much.

Arsene Wenger plays with players, almost a season, with a line-up. Of course, this also has to do with the fact that the current Arsenal substitute really does not have any good players. The current Arsenal is not like when they were in an unbeaten season, and there are Reyes, Edu, Wiltord, Kanu, Sigan, and Parlor on the bench.

At present, Arsenal is at the end of their power, and Arsenal have definitely played more games than Blackburn this season. But when it comes to bench depth, Arsenal can't compare to Blackburn Rovers at all. George spent almost £40 million in two seasons to build the current Blackburn Rovers.

Of course, there is also George's aura of rebirth in it. But Arsene Wenger's Arsenal, who have had a limited transfer fee for the past two seasons, have not bought a few good players.

From this match, the two teams will play four matches in the next twelve days. For Arsene Wenger now, two of those league games must not be abandoned. Especially against Leeds United, because if there is any mistake in these two games, there is a high risk of losing the Champions League place next season.

With the expansion of the Champions League, the League Cup has gradually become a chicken rib. The influence of the Champions League has expanded dramatically, whether it is fame or economy, as long as it is a big team, it will not give up the Champions League. Therefore, Arsene Wenger must not miss out in the league.

But George's Blackburn Rovers have cemented their place in second place. Therefore, George can calmly arrange the lineup for the two league games.

For Blackburn, who have a thicker bench, four games in 12 days is also a huge problem. Not to mention Arsenal, which is already at the end of its power.

Especially the Arsenal backline, how could they possibly withstand such a high-intensity game. Even a player of Vieira's calibre can't stand up to this kind of intensity. George saw Wenger's dilemma and dared to shout that he would win against Arsenal.

Arsenal can't give up the league, but George can focus all his energy on Arsenal.

If Arsenal wants to win the Champions League next season, then the League Cup semifinals are already half lost.

Facing Blackburn's full-pitch pressing, Arsenal's attack was a bit chaotic.

Blackburn are a technical team in their own right, and George knows how to deal with them. The best way to deal with them is to keep destroying. So that they can't play their own rhythm.

Blackburn's non-stop fouls in midfield interrupted the game in less than a few tens of seconds.

"Toot-"

Another whistle blew, and the referee came to Deco to warn Deco.

The pressing just now was too fierce, and in the end, Vieira reluctantly passed back. Deco, who was not very fierce in the midfield before, saw Petit take the ball and almost used a hug and fall behind him. In the end, Petit was directly knocked down.

However, this position is not a danger zone, let alone an opportunity to fight back. In addition, although Deco has a hugging and falling action, it is not a lethal action, so the referee only gave a verbal warning.

Deco shrugged and admitted his mistake to the referee very sincerely.

This was already Deco's third foul of the game. Deco is both, and you can imagine how midfield sweeper Hargreaves will perform. Hargreaves followed Vieira almost inseparably, and once Vieira got the ball, no matter what the small action was, it appeared in Hargreaves' hands.

All the players in this game Blackburn Rovers were given a purpose by George. is to spare no physical strength, the whole court to press. Once you get the ball, you start to fight back quickly.

Seeing foul after foul, Wenger stomped helplessly on the sidelines.

Wenger could only smile wryly in his heart, George was simply too shameless. A team that is second in the Premier League standings is not a dignified game, but uses these unpopular means.

But Arsene Wenger knew that George had hit his own seven inches.

Until now, the Arsenal players have done a great job. Although George hit Wenger's seven inches in one fell swoop, Wenger couldn't help it. Although he is Bole, he has a lot of beautiful strokes that turn stones into gold.

Just as Patrick Vieira has become a world-class midfielder, Nicolas Anelka is worth more than 20 million pounds, and Bergkamp and Petit have changed positions, all of which are beautiful moves by Wenger one after another. But Wenger is not a real magician after all.

He can't wave his hand and give Arsenal back to a strong bench.

He couldn't wave his hand and make Adams and Keown a few years younger.

Of course, it is even more impossible for him to wave his hand and let Leeds United, who are now chasing behind Arsenal's buttocks, fall into the abyss.

Arsene Wenger will never give up his Champions League spot. The influence of the Champions League is increasing, and being able to enter the Champions League is a sign of a club's influence. Arsene Wenger is not satisfied that Arsenal is just an English giant, Wenger wants to build a world giant.

And if you want to become a world giant, let Arsenal break through in the Champions League. If they can't even get a place in the Champions League, Arsenal can't become a world giant.

But Arsene Wenger didn't want to give up in the UEFA Cup semi-finals, as there are only two games left before the League Cup final.

This is a dilemma.

The first half ended in this choppy rhythm.

Because the pace of the first half was too fast, even Adams in the back line was a rough gasp when he came off the field. Looking at these players, Wenger didn't know what to say. This George is so infuriating.

After the first half, Mortensen also saw George's thoughts.

In the second half, George had no intention of changing his style of play. George didn't care about his physical strength at all, and the second half just started with the kind of full-court pressing that consumed physical strength.

George instead stood on the sidelines in the second half. Looking at the stalemate on the field, I looked to the right. It just so happened that Wenger was annoyed and also looked at George.

George saw Wenger and smiled at him.

George is forcing Arsene Wenger to make a choice, whether to go for the league, a Champions League place, or to fight Blackburn. Blackburn, even Arsenal in their heyday, may not be able to win.

Not to mention Arsenal twelve days later.

Arsenal had already taken a lot of energy out of the game, playing two games in a row in the next few days. In particular, the focus battle with Leeds United will make Arsenal work hard. When it comes to Blackburn's home stadium, how can the exhausted Arsenal defeat Blackburn, who is waiting for work and recuperating.

Seeing that Wenger still did not react, George took the lead.

George simply switched both wings. With Drogba and David. Dunn, replaced Duff and Romerdal. George simply played without a wide field and stacked four midfielders in midfield. Only Claude Makelele was behind him, with the other three all actively running in midfield.

And Drogba and Klose kept running and receiving high-altitude balls in front. And once you concede a goal, you defend from the start of them.

Because they couldn't get the ball, Henry and Bergkamp both took turns returning to the middle to get the ball. They don't care about Blackburn in the box, but once they're in and out, the Blackburn players don't care who you are. The foul is a foul.

Seeing George's substitution, Arsene Wenger knew that George was messing around to the end. And Arsenal just can't afford it.

Blackburn's fast pace has greatly affected the physical strength of Arsenal's main players. If Blackburn continues to be consumed like this, it will not be a question of being eliminated in the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup. Arsene Wenger will also have to think about the league in three days' time.

In desperation, Wenger began to adjust.
