"Everyone is welcome to watch this game. It was an important match to decide the Premier League title, with Blackburn Rovers and Manchester United battered. ”

'Blackburn have been ahead of United all this season, leading by eight points at the most. Due to recent inconsistent form, the gap between Blackburn Rovers and Manchester United is only four points. ”

"But although Blackburn Rovers are not in good form in these games, as long as Blackburn get a draw in this game, then this season's championship is Blackburn's bag."

Martin. Taylor was giving the audience some of the current situation between the two teams.

George was also watching United's starting line-up, meanwhile. Completely different from the past, this time Manchester United had five men in midfield. On the left and right flanks are Ryan Giggs and David Beckham, but there are three players in the middle. Bart, Scholes, Roy. Keane.

Sheringham is the only one in the forward line.

This made George very puzzled.

Manchester United can only attack in this game, and only by winning can they have a chance of winning the title. Now it turned out to be Sheringham, an old immortal. Sheringham is very old, already thirty-five years old. However, the form is good, and he has scored almost 20 goals for Manchester United this season.

But with a lone striker, Sheringham, doesn't look like he's going to attack.

There were three men in the middle of the midfield, and George didn't understand what Ferguson meant. Does Ferguson still want to play defensive counter-attacks?

George wants to play defensive counter-attacking in this game. After all, as long as George holds on to a draw, then this season's Premier League title is his own. But I was confused by Ferguson's arrangement. What exactly did Ferguson want to do?

However, after the game started, George did understand a little.

The arrangement of Ferguson's midfield was Roy. Keane was in the back, Bart was the sweeper, and Scholes was up front.

It's not just the midfield advantage that the three men are there to catch Blackburn a little off guard. George had only developed his tactics along the lines of Keane and Scholes in the middle, but now facing the sudden arrival of Bart, it was a surprise.

Bart is considered to be one of Manchester United's 92 generation, and his reputation and achievements are average compared to other players. But that doesn't mean Bart can't be strong.

Bart was one of the earliest debutants in Manchester United's 92 generation, having played for Manchester United as early as 92. The debutant Bart won the "New Paul" with his insight and tough interceptions. Ince", many critics have high hopes for this bright star, hoping that he can become the successor of Roy. Another midfielder after Keane. Unfortunately, Barth's development in the next few years was not as satisfactory as expected, and he was relegated to the former captain Roy for many years. Keane made Bart less and less game time for the rest of the game. His chances of playing often have to wait until Roy. Keane's injury or rest has not only hampered his progress, but also affected his future at the club and with the national team.

So when Keane and Bart came on the pitch together, Miku was the first to feel the pressure.

Miku has played against a number of world-class midfielders. Including Vieira, Keane, Baraja, Hamann, Di Biagio, but when it comes to Keane and Vieira, they are definitely the strongest midfielders in the world. Every time he played against Manchester United and Arsenal, Miku had to deal with Keane and Vieira carefully.

Dealing with one Keane is already a real headache for Miku.

Now that Bart is on the pitch, Miku is really under pressure up front. It's hard to control the ball, it's hard to pass the ball, it's a bad feeling.

The second person to feel the pressure was Deco.

Ferguson deployed a three-man midfield for Blackburn. Although Keane is in the back, he rushes up every time he switches offense and defense. Keane is not the kind of player who only knows how to defend, and the offense is not weak.

Because Makelele had to deal with Scholes, Deco had to come over to defend Keane when Keane stepped in.

Keane is like a tank, and although Deco's defense has grown a lot, it is still very embarrassed in the face of Keane's onslaught.

George's original idea was to stabilize the tempo, but United simply didn't give Blackburn the opportunity. When attacking, United's midfielders are all in attack, except for Bart slightly back.

Even the two full-backs often press for assists.

George watched nervously. Misguided.

This is Manchester United, Manchester United wants to attack with all their might, and there are a few clubs in the Premier League who can defend against it. Even clubs on the continent can be scrambling against Manchester United's attack.

Sheringham didn't tell the 35-year-old to be a 35-year-old. He kept running up front and sometimes dropped back to get the ball and gave Paul Scholes a chance to cut in. It's very positive anyway.

Although Blackburn thought that Manchester United would attack in a big way, this change of formation still caught everyone a little off guard.

Keane is really the best midfielder.

When defending, he covers the entire second half, and when attacking, he can even rush into the Blackburn Rovers penalty area.

Seeing Manchester United dominate the field, the cheers of Manchester United fans were wave after wave. And in the midst of this cheering, Manchester United's attack is even more wave after wave. Manchester United have a strong sense of attacking hierarchy.

And once Blackburn wanted to counterattack, Bart in midfield appeared in front of the attacking players like a ghost and disrupted Blackburn's counterattack.

Bart's appearance was indeed unexpected by George.

At this time, George didn't know which link to adjust. Facing a midfield like Manchester United, George doesn't know how to break it. In the past, Blackburn Rovers have always dominated the midfield and then controlled the midfield style of play.

Once restrained by Manchester United's midfielder, George didn't know what to choose for a while.

George could only continue to take a look.

Ferguson chewed gum on the pitch and then looked at a frowning George. smiled. George, you are a young talented coach, but it is precisely because you are so young. Experience seems to be of little use, but it is actually an asset at a critical juncture.

The game was deadlocked for ten minutes, and the attacking Manchester United still did not break down the Blackburn defence.

But Blackburn's defense is like a small sampan in the sea, in danger of being swallowed up at any moment.

Especially because of Manchester United's strong attack, there were more fouls on Blackburn's side. If it's any other team, with the quality of Ferdinand and Blanco, don't care too much. But United have a world-class set-piece player.

David Beckham's set-pieces, that's world-famous.

However, there may be some problems with Beckham's form in this game. Several good free-kick opportunities were not taken.

But this did not reassure George. That's David Beckham. Who knows which opportunity will go in.

George was a little annoyed. This is Ewood Park, and Blackburn hasn't been so embarrassed in a long time. Blackburn Rovers have never been a team to win games by defending on the back, and although Blackburn Rovers have played well on the counter-attack, they are now completely non-counter-attacking.

If it was Burnley, who he coached back then, George would still be sure that he could defend it. But now Blackburn, if there is no counterattack, only relying on stubborn defense to get a point, George is not sure at all.

But Keane in midfield, what about this player?

When Blackburn counter-attacked, he stood like a mountain in front of United's defenders. When United attacked, Keane pressed up more like a tank.

Another attack, with Bart passing the ball to Keane. Keane faced Deco, and his body alone had an advantage. The movement is even more simple, and a turn will pass by Deco. Deco couldn't let Keane pass so easily, Deco wanted to grab the ball, so a hook, the ball didn't stay, but Keane was hooked down by Deco.

The referee's whistle remembers and awards a set-piece on the edge of the box.

The ball was thirty meters away from the goal, which is considered a long way. Beckham was there fiddling with the ball.

It was Beckham's fifth free-kick since the game began. The free kick in front of him was either not well landed or the shooting footwork was not mastered well. I wonder what Beckham will do with this ball? ”

At a distance of thirty meters, it seems far away. But David Beckham could have shot straight at goal, and of course into the box. How it will be chosen, the Blackburn backline does not know.

Cudicini was the most nervous.

As George thought, there was no goalkeeper who wasn't nervous about Beckham's free-kick.

Beckham ran a bit far, but not as fast.

“…… David Beckham, shot ...... It's not that it's a pass...... Stam! ”

David Beckham's shots and passes are among the best in the world.

This time Beckham had enough shots on goal, but it was ultimately a pass. David Beckham's pass fell to the back post, and as if it had been calculated, it flew straight towards the back post.

Beckham's free-kicks have always been known for their curvature, but that doesn't mean his free-kicks are slow. On the other hand, Beckham's free-kick is also quite fast, and the distance of 30 meters is a blink of an eye. Stamm, who was already lying in ambush behind, jumped high and threw his head hard at the flying ball.

"Stam! Header! Beautiful, the ball is in! ”

Cudicini was afraid that Beckham would shoot directly, so he leaned a little to the right. When Stam headed in at the back post, Cudicini was too late to react. Cudicini made a sideways save but was unable to block the goal.

"1-0, Manchester United are 1-0 ahead of Blackburn Rovers with this Stam header."

"Haha, George should be in a hurry now. If that score is over, then United will be just one point away from Blackburn. ”

"Ferguson's line-up caught Blackburn off guard. George still needs to keep learning. See how George made the change. ”
