297 Three-line attack?

“…… Miku, Miku shoots! ”

'Beautiful, Miku's shot was sudden. 2-0, Blackburn Rovers lead 2-0 on the road. ”

'Keane's absence has had a big impact on Manchester United. If Keane was there, he would never have let Miku shoot so easily in this area. ”

"Blackburn, it's already 2-0 up. If the game were to end with this scoreline, Blackburn would regain a seven-point lead over Manchester United. With more than 20 minutes left in the game, what will Ferguson choose? ”

Miku's goal came with 72 minutes played.

Ferguson chewed gum and slowly stood up. Then he started replacing Philip with Sheringham. Neville. Although it was not expressed, this substitution alone already showed Ferguson's attitude. He's going to be desperate.

Now Manchester United have three midfielders and three strikers.

Manchester United's style of play has completely changed. David Beckham and Bart dropped back to form a central midfielder, while Scholes stepped forward. Then up front are Cole, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Sheringham.

George will certainly not play against Manchester United at this time. Manchester United is desperate, and the fighting power that broke out is not blown. This is not simply expressed in terms of strength.

So George immediately replaced Deco with McAllister and Hargreaves for Pire.

You attack, I'll defend. George kept Drogba in front, Miku and Hleb moved up front, and then Claude Makelle, McAllister and Hargreaves all kept a short distance from the back line.

George is a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water.

I'm just going to defend and see if you can break down our team's goal.

In the face of George's substitution, Ferguson waved his hand, and Manchester United attacked all the way. Beckham, who was still with Bart just now, immediately threw himself into the attack. However, George's instructions to the players were simple.

You can get the ball into the box, but you can't let United get any long-range shots. We must firmly guard the frontier of the Great Forbidden Zone.

United had three strikers, but they couldn't get all of them into the box. Even if it is in, the defense of the high ball Blackburn is not afraid. Rio Ferdinand and Panucci are both good headers.

While Blackburn didn't specialise in defending like Burnley, George never relaxed in his training sessions.

Therefore, when the three lines are tight, it is difficult for United's attack to penetrate them. The dense defense is difficult to break even for Barcelona, which is known as the "Cosmos Team" in the future, not to mention Manchester United, which is now short of major generals.

In the end, even Drogba came back to defend at centre-back.

"George, I really can't understand it. Obviously, Blackburn's strength is very strong, and he can completely compete with Manchester United. But in order to maintain the two-goal advantage, George even pulled the striker back to the center of the penalty area. ”

"Look at Miku's defense. Let a talented player like Miku do this kind of dirty work, hey......"

Martin. Taylor saw George's movements and explained with a wry smile.

"Martin, have you forgotten. When George was still Burnley manager, he said he would rather choose an ugly title than lose. For the sake of victory, George will definitely do whatever it takes. "Andy. Gray looked at Martin. Taylor laughed.

Seeing Blackburn play such a negative game, Manchester United fans let out a huge boo.

In their opinion, Blackburn Rovers are also a Premier League powerhouse. Now it's shameless and skinless, with such shameless tactics.

But George didn't waver at all. As long as he can get three points, don't say so, even if he blocks the goal with all the players, George is willing.

As the game ticked by, Manchester United's attack became more and more aggressive. It's a pity that in the face of Blackburn, who were stubbornly defending, they couldn't break through the goal in the end.

"I'm not welcome to win this year's league title." George and Ferguson smiled and winked as they shook hands.

Ferguson didn't get angry, just said lightly: "George, it's still early for the end of the season." This sentence is said early. ”

"No, no, no, Coach Ferguson. I am bound to win the Premier League. ”

George was certainly in a happy mood. After the win against Manchester United, Blackburn Rovers are already seven points ahead of Manchester United. It's just that in this round, Arsenal faced Manchester City and defeated Manchester City 5-0. Therefore, the gap with Arsenal has not been widened, it is still two points.

George didn't care, though.

Arsenal, they won't be going to make it to the end.

In George's mind, the main rival is Manchester United.

At Manchester United's home stadium, a two-goal win over Manchester United. Blackburn swept away the previous slump and regained the front page of the newspaper media.

The Blackburn Evening News even called the match a "landmark victory!" ”

'The win over Manchester United was Blackburn's most important win of the season. The win gave Blackburn Rovers even more clarity on their goal of winning the league title. We believe that after this match, Blackburn Rovers will no longer be afraid of any opponent. ”

Of course, the Blackburn Evening News may have exaggerated.

But the Blackburn Evening News is not the only newspaper that praises Blackburn's victory. More than half of the media in English football praised Blackburn's victory.

But Manchester United, for their part, were not happy. The Manchester newspapers, in particular, were not convinced.

"Coach Levy, probably from a small place, a small club. There is a small family spirit all over the body. It's hard to make a big deal. ”

The biggest criticism they had was George letting Blackburn burn in the final stages. And it was to abandon the offense, completely dense defense. This made them feel that Blackburn was too unpursued. They took it up and kept lashing out at George.

George smiled at the Manchester newspaper's disbelief.

"If you can't eat grapes, you can say that grapes are sour. No matter how I played, I won the game. ”

………… On October 28, after the main game against Manchester United, Blackburn Rovers immediately faced the third round of the League Cup.

Blackburn Rovers are a Premier League powerhouse right now. But the teams that represent the Premier League in the Champions League, so the first round and second round of the League Cup are completely insulated from Blackburn. Blake was going to play in the League Cup, and it was the third round of the League Cup.

In the third round of the League Cup, Blackburn Rovers faced Tranmere away.

Tranmere are a team from League Two. Being able to mix in the third round of the League Cup is really fragrant.

George didn't think much of it in the Carabao Cup. At Burnley, the League Cup and the FA Cup have already been won. Now Blackburn Rovers is most importantly, the Premier League and the Champions League.

So in this game, George rotated a lot of players.

Three players were brought in from the youth team, plus first-team substitutes. However, Blackburn's first-team bench was not bad, Henning. Berg, Sun Jihai, David. Dunn, Bellamy, Kevin. Gallacher and these players are on the pitch.

Actually, George just wanted to just hit a dozen anyway. It's okay to pass, or it's okay to lose.

I just didn't expect that Blackburn Rovers was also fierce on the bench.

Actually scored three goals on the road, David. Dunn scored two goals. In the end, they defeated Tranmere 3-1 to reach the fourth round of the League Cup.

This was followed by the twelfth round of the Premier League, with Blackburn Rovers facing Newcastle at home. Although Robson has risen a lot since he became the owner of Newcastle. But George is willing to play a pseudo-technical team like Newcastle.

The home side won 2-1 at Newcastle thanks to goals from Klose and Deco. Unfortunately, Manchester United and Arsenal also won.

After that, it was the final game of the Champions League group stage. Blackburn traveled to Ukraine to face Shakhtar Donetsk. Blackburn has already broken through from the group stage, and as for whether it is the first place breakthrough or the second place breakthrough, George no longer cares.

If it's the Champions League group stage in the future, then George cares a lot. After all, after the breakthrough, there will be a draw according to the ranking and a knockout round.

But now in addition to the first round of the group stage, the Champions League is also a second round of the group stage.

Therefore, in this game, George still used substitutes to rest the main team. It's a pity that Shakhtar Donetsk is too weak, and Blackburn won 1-0 against Shakhtar Donetsk. In the end, in this group, with 14 points, won the first place.

Blackburn then returned to England for the thirteenth round of the Premier League.

Blackburn Rovers travel to Sunderland. Blackburn, who have recently been red-eyed in the league, have not given Sunderland any chance at all. With a score of 3-2, they won against Sunderland.

After this game, George also got the best news.

Arsenal were held to a 0-0 draw at home by Derby. At the end of the thirteenth round, Blackburn Rovers are four points ahead of Arsenal and seven points ahead of Manchester United, still at the top of the Premier League table.

And as the fourth round of the League Cup approaches, the draw results for the fourth round of the League Cup are also out.

Blackburn will meet League One side Crystal Palace in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup.

Crystal Palace? This is not a team that is currently ranked high in League One. Even if you put the substitutes on the pitch, there shouldn't be any problems. Once you get past the fourth round of the Carabao Cup, you'll be in the quarter-finals.

There will be four games left before the League Cup title.

George had some gains and losses at this time. Although George cares more about the Premier League and Champions League games. But how to say that the League Cup is also a trophy, isn't it? Now I'm running into a belly like Crystal Palace again.

Do you want to continue to fight when the time comes?

Three-front warfare, easy to say. In fact, it is very difficult to fight. What to do then?

Blackburn have never won the Carabao Cup until now, and if they win the Carabao Cup, it will be a new history for Blackburn.

It's just that...... Forget it, take it one step at a time. Crystal Palace doesn't need to pay too much attention, and if it is past the time, it will not be too late for Crystal Palace to pay attention to the League Cup.
