Once the match began, Ajax didn't get any intimidated just because they were the defending champions.

The Ajax players are all young talents and full of pride. Not to mention facing Blackburn, even against Real Madrid and Milan, they will not shrink up and play defensive counterattacks. The tradition at Ajax is not to allow them to play that ugly defence.

So after kick-off, Ajax faced Blackburn Rovers and launched attack after attack.

In particular, Van der Vaart, Ibrahimovic and Van der Meyde in the front court are all extremely skilled players.

They are newborn calves and are not afraid of tigers.

In front of Hargreaves and Alonso, they played with their skills wantonly. Picking the ball, passing the ball with his heels, running long distances, all kinds of things that only the audience can't imagine, nothing they can't do.

Anyway, down there, even George was scared.

These Ajax players are so talented right now.

Looking at the two-on-one and two-by-two between Van der Vaart and Van der Meyde, the game is absolutely dazzling.

That's genius.

However, only a team like Ajax and a soil like the Eredivisie can cultivate these talented players.

Blackburn's side has experienced strong winds and waves. Even Real Madrid have won, and Ajax is not in their eyes. But at Ajax, Van der Vaart is only 19, Ibrahimovic is 21 and even Sneijder is 18.

Such a young lineup represents youth and invincibility. It also means that they have unlimited imagination. Their imagination even stunned the Blackburn players.

Under their attack, something unexpected soon happened.

With just 11 minutes into the game, Van der Meyde and Van der Vaart had another one-two. This time, the target of their breakthrough was Reese.

Reeser saved too hard when Van der Vaart got the ball.

So when Van der Vaart made a beautiful back-heel pass, he wanted to make a quick stop, but he didn't expect to twist his right foot in one fell swoop. Reese fell to the ground in pain and never got up.

“…… Reese, he's hurt. Looking at the return visit, it was Reeser who was pushing too hard, he wanted to stop and turn sharply, and twisted his right foot. I don't know how the injury is this time? ”

"The injuries are serious, more serious than those hard injuries."

Sure enough, Blackburn's team doctor went in to check the injury and then made a substitution gesture towards George.

George gritted his teeth at Van der Vaart.

This kid is too ....... Van der Vaart is really full of spirit now. Look at the stopping, the passing, the passing, it was done flawlessly. It is no wonder that he is the most famous of the four little kings of the Netherlands, who became the captain of Ajax at such a young age.

But it was his juggling pass that left Reese injured.

George looked over to the bench. In fact, George also has a left-back in his hands, which is that Galla can be replaced. But George jumped over Gala and called out to another person. "Michael, change your clothes."

George's words took everyone on the bench by surprise.

Reese is injured, and it should be Garra who goes up. After all, although Galla is not a true left-back, he can also play the left-back position. Essien, on the other hand, is a midfielder and has not played at left-back before.

But no one questioned it at this time, after all, it was a game. And even if it's not a competition, they don't question it.

George has been at Blackburn Rovers for four seasons and this is already his fifth season. Blackburn Rovers don't have any veteran players right now, except for Henning. Except for Berg, everyone was brought in by George. Many of Blackburn's players began to become famous under George, and they also won championships under George.

So within Blackburn's team, George is everything.

Essien was also stunned. The left-back was injured and even asked himself to change his clothes. However, he did not hesitate and quickly changed his clothes.

"Michael, go up and let Owen play at left-back. You go and hit the midfield. ”

George told Essien to let Hargreaves go to the left. Essien nodded, satisfied. Although he was able to play, he still felt awkward about letting himself play at left-back. Now I'm playing in the back and I'm happy with that.

And just behind, Gara's face turned cold.

Campbell and Lucio occupied the position of the main central defender, and Galla was not convinced, but he could only accept his fate. Who made Campbell a homegrown player in England and the main central defender of the national team. Lucio is also the main centre-back for World Cup winners Brazil. Players that George paid a lot of money for.

Therefore, for the position of central defender, Galla did not think much about it.

As for the right side, Galla didn't think about it at all. Who is George's favorite player? All Blackburn Rovers players will tell you, Klose and Miku. But who is the player that George trusts the most, then Sagnol on the right is certainly at the top of the rankings.

Sagnol has been a first-choice right-back since arriving at Blackburn. He soon became the captain of Blackburn. This kind of trust is not comparable to even George's love, Miku and Klose. So Gala won't think about it either.

With only the left side, Gala was very unconvinced.

Why is Reese able to be the main force on the left.

But now, Reeser is injured. George would rather give Essien a chance than ignore him as a regular defender. Gala's face was cold, and her heart became more and more dissatisfied with George.

"Michael. Essien, is a player from Ghana. He has just turned 20 years old. This is Blackburn's own Academy player, who later went on loan to Metz in Ligue 1. From the age of seventeen, Essien was the main midfielder for Metz. With the departures of Deco and Claude Makelele this season, George has reclaimed the player. ”

'Essien has been outstanding in Metz. In Ligue 1, he is the midfielder with the most tackles. Ligue 1 media even say that Essien is one of the best midfielders in Ligue 1. ”

George seems to prefer Hargreaves though, with Essien coming to Blackburn Rovers and playing less than seven games so far. There were only three starts, and all of them were less important games. ”

Speaking of which, for Michael. Many people in Esien are very unfamiliar. Including those coaches and fans in English football.

Hence Martin. Taylor tried to go into as much detail as possible about Essien's information.

"There's another story here. I don't know if it's true. After hearing that George and Burnley's contract renewal talks had collapsed, he finally went to the Turf Moore Stadium to say goodbye. It was there that he met Essien, who was only fifteen at the time, asking for an apprenticeship of £110 a week. Burnley refused. ”

But George had a crush on him. So he persuaded him to stay, and when he became the owner of Blackburn, he brought Essien to Blackburn with him. Of course, this matter is only heard, not necessarily true. ”

Martin. Taylor didn't even let go of this kind of gossip.

But most of what he said was correct.

When Essien came up, his eyes were red. If anyone sees the present Essien, then there is only one word to describe it, and that is the beast.

Yes, Essien is a beast now.

Essien was hurt. Although Metz is not a big team, even in Ligue 1 is only a team in the middle and lower reaches. But in Metz, Essien is the boss. Despite his young age, Essien received the most attention in Metz.

Even Essien is not exactly a defensive midfielder in Metz, but a central player in the team's attack.

He returned to Blackburn Rovers this season with great hope. But all that awaits him is the bench, an endless bench career. George was Essien's mentor, and Essien was grateful to George. Because if it weren't for George, then how could Essien get the highest salary in the youth team that year.

And this time back, Blackburn signed a new contract with Essien. Essien's weekly salary is already £9,000. These are all given by George.

But this half season, Essien has become more and more dissatisfied. Because George clearly valued Hargreaves more, Essien didn't think he was any worse than the kid.

What does he have? It's just that the British, a little more handsome.

Now that he finally came on the pitch so early, Essien wanted to use his performance to tell George that he was no worse than that little white face.

Yes, in Essien's eyes, Hargreaves is just a little white face, a little more handsome than himself.

Essien is fierce.

A person has been suppressed for a long time, and the power of the explosion at that time is the greatest.

This is the state of Essien now.

Van der Vaart, who plays in midfield, plays with style. Van der Vaart was disdainful of Blackburn. What is the Champions League, it is nothing more than that.

This time it was again and Van der Vaart was just about to turn around. Behind him was resisted by a person, not only withstanding, but also the impact force from behind the person in the process of running, which made Van der Vaart almost out of breath.

Because the power coming from behind is too great.

Van der Vaart couldn't handle the ball in time, and Essien stretched out his leg and swept straight over. Touched the ball, but at the same time hooked Van der Vaart's foot.

"Toot-"

The referee blows the whistle and says it's a foul. But Essien didn't care, shrugged and went back. But Van der Vaart gently touched his ankle, and the kick he had just been kicked by Essien made Van der Vaart hurt terribly. Looking at Essien's back, Van der Vaart spat helplessly.

It hurts, that's the only feeling.

It's not the first time, though.

Soon Ibu, who likes juggling, also learns Essien's toughness.

Van der Meyde was entangled by Hargreaves on the right and could only pass the ball in a hurry. The ball got in front of Ibrahimovic and couldn't get to his feet. Therefore, Ibrahimovic was about to get the ball when he found Essien coming in front of him.

And Essien is directly on the feet. Ibrahimovic was already raising his feet and had no time to close his feet. Ibrahimovic certainly knows that he can't retreat at this time, because if he retreats and is kicked by Essien, he may get injured. At this time, you can only grit your teeth.

Only by being tough can you not get hurt.

"Bang-"

Both sides are on the feet, and the sound is very loud. After the kick, Ibrahimovic immediately fell to the ground. He bared his teeth and kept moving his ankles. However, Yu Jiao saw that Essien had nothing to do and passed past him with the ball, which made Ibrahimovic forget about his pain and look at Essien's back with his mouth wide open.

This, this, is this still human?

Essien told the genius of Ajax in the most savage and simple way. Good technology? Hum!

No matter how high your martial arts are, you are afraid of kitchen knives!
