In just ten minutes, he was one goal ahead.

It should be said that it is a very good result. Everyone wanted to see how Blackburn chosen, and even Lippi was more curious. George was a man who openly declared himself to be a result-seeker. And for the sake of the championship, don't care about ugly coaches.

But after the restart, everyone found out.

Blackburn had no intention of recycling at all, and still took the initiative to attack. And it's pressing Juventus, crosses, short passes, long shots, anyway, there are all the ways that can be used.

Blackburn's style of play is indeed colorful.

Sometimes it's Pire, Miku and Kaka in the middle to pass one by one until near the opponent's penalty line. Then, with the cooperation and their individual skills, it is completely possible to form a shooting opportunity.

Sometimes it's just a high ball that Klose and Drogba can control.

Don't look at Montero and Lerotalie are also Serie A stars, but when it comes to controlling high-altitude balls, they are no match for Drogba and Klose. As long as Didier Drogba and Klose control the ball in the air, they will be able to create chances on goal.

Of course, when switching between offense and defense, Kaka's counterattack speed is a sharp weapon.

Under the pressure of Blackburn's attack, Juventus's attack simply can't play.

Even the Italian commentators were disappointed.

'It shouldn't be a game played by Juventus. Juventus didn't feel like a strong team at all, and the attacking rhythm was completely led by Blackburn. So far, there has been no threat to attack. ”

Yes, the Italian commentator was disappointed.

Juventus fans are even more disappointed.

What they want to see is a devastating victory for Juventus over Blackburn, a hillbilly team. Teach George a lesson as an arrogant manager, but now he finds that Juventus is firmly pressed by Blackburn.

However, "Silver Fox" Lippi, sitting on the bench, was still expressionless. You can't tell him if he's nervous or not.

After almost twenty minutes of attacking, Blackburn's attack changed a lot.

Blackburn Rovers have moved from midfield to a more straightforward approach. George pushed Miku straight up and then kept lobbing the ball from the back. Of course, this will make Klose and Drogba a little tired.

However, Klose and Drogba have always been single-lone forwards, and their physical strength is extremely good.

Throughout the first half, the game ended in a situation where Blackburn Rovers attacked and Juventus defended.

The inability to extend the score in the first half made George quite unhappy. If it's 2-0 in the first half, then the rest of the game will be much easier. However, George certainly can't show dissatisfaction, after all, Blackburn led Juventus 1-0 in the first half.

So at half-time, George was full of praise for the players.

And George asked Blackburn to keep attacking at the start of the second half.

George simply ignored it, and Juventus would have attacked in the second half. So at the start of the second half, the Juventus players were surprised to find that Blackburn Rovers looked like crazy. In fact, in the dressing room, Lippi has already asked Juventus to step up their attack in the second half.

Ask Piero to step back and organize the attack. Then Nedved added in the midfield for a run.

Under normal circumstances, Blackburn Rovers were already leading in the first half and should have defended first at the beginning of the second half. Especially now that Juventus are behind, they definitely want to attack in the kick-off stage of the second half.

But Blackburn Rovers came up in the second half and attacked, disrupting Juventus' mind.

So that Juventus's attack was not able to fight at all.

George looked at Juventus in a hurry and smiled inwardly. In a close game, of course, you can't play a weak team. Playing a weak team, with dignified strength, there is no problem in defeating the opponent. But playing a strong team, hitting you by surprise in the game is definitely a great effect.

This kind of surprise is not the right way, because it is the right way to defeat it head-on with a dignified teacher. Because you can't play this way suddenly in all games. Because that way you don't confuse your opponent, you get yourself into it.

But this technique is quite effective in the cup competition.

This is not Blackburn's style of play after the start of the second half, which made Juventus stunned.

Their offense simply can't be played.

"Could it be that Blackburn want to settle Juventus once and for all at home? If you are a fan who has just turned on the TV now, you must think that Blackburn is the one who is behind and Juventus is the one who is ahead. ”

"It's been 60 minutes. Judging from these 60 minutes of play, George knows Juventus very well. The way this game was played was also very correct. George was a little arrogant before the game, but he did have the qualifications to be arrogant. ”

'Until now, Juventus haven't created a really dangerous goalscoring chance. On the contrary, it was Blackburn's side, if it weren't for Buffon's excellent play, it would definitely not be just a 1-0 lead. ”

Martin. Taylor looked at Blackburn, who had the advantage, and was very proud.

After all, Juventus is an Italian giant, but also a European giant. To be able to press Juventus so much throughout the pitch, there are a few clubs in Europe.

However, around the sixty-fifth minute, George made his first substitution.

George replaces Klose with Essien.

Is George going to be defensive?

After all, it is a clear signal to use a defensive midfielder and replace a striker. Everybody would think so.

Indeed, after Essien came on, Blackburn's formation did shrink back. Seeing Blackburn shrink back made the Juventus players finally breathe a sigh of relief. From the opening to now, Blackburn's offense has been too fierce.

It made the experienced Juventus players feel a huge pressure.

Now all of a sudden, the pressure is relieved, and the Juventus players remember that they are still behind. So it suddenly occurred to me that now we need to attack.

It's a knee-jerk reaction, you retract, of course I'm going to attack. There is no need for Lippi to remind you at all, or Lippi needs to be arranged. The Juventus players started attacking on their own.

Juventus' attack was not very delicate.

Including Nedved, who has just won the European Footballer of the Year, is not a delicate player at his feet. Juventus's delicate midfield players are also Piero alone, so of course their attacks cannot be delicately coordinated.

Juventus's attack, in addition to playing Camoranesi's wing, is to play at the feet of Piero. Let Piero organize the attack.

Juventus, if it's a defensive counter-attack, then there is a lot of threat.

But positional warfare? Juventus can't play the kind of big open attack of Manchester United, and it can't play the delicate attack of Real Madrid and Arsenal. There are still a lot of problems.

Juventus had just gone into attack and they were fierce. Or they were desperate for an equaliser, especially when Blackburn Rovers managed to retract and they saw it as a great opportunity.

Seventy-two minutes into the game, Camoranesi ran wildly down the right and then a cross.

Pushed out by Lucio in the middle.

The moment Alonso got the ball, it was a long pass.

Drogba faced the high ball and fed a header back to Kaka, who was following behind. When Kaka saw the incoming ball, he went straight forward and drove the ball nearly ten meters away. Then there was an acceleration and I ran forward.

At this time, Juventus' midfielders basically stepped forward. Along with Drogba are Juventus defenders.

Therefore, when Kaka is on the ball, he is facing the Juventus defenders.

In fact, when Kaka received Drogba's header, he was still three or four meters away from these Juventus defenders. But Kaka ran up, and when he finally got the ball, he was already three or four meters away from the opposing defender.

"Kaka, Kaka! Is this ball technological? No. This is completely an unsolvable one, that is, with speed! ”

Yes, there is no technical content in this ball.

It's just a kick and a run past the defender. It's just speed, you know you can't do it.

"Lerotalje, Montero, they don't have any way. Kaka has completely broken through the Juventus defenders, and Buffon is the only one left in front of Kaka. Kaka, Buffon has already abandoned the door. ”

Kaka faced Buffon, but he was not afraid at all because the opponent was the world's No. 1 goalkeeper.

Speed players, when you go alone, it's actually very easy to get past the goalkeeper.

As long as the ball goes to the side and then accelerates, the goalkeeper basically has nothing to do. The same goes for Kaka. Facing Buffon, he took the ball to the right, and as soon as he accelerated, Buffon was already thrown away by Kaka.

Then facing the empty door, the next action is much simpler.

"Kaka, he's past Buffon...... In front of Kaka is a big empty door! ”

Kaka just gave a light push, and the ball was already slowly rolling into the goal.

"Two to zero, two to zero. We're already two goals ahead. Kaka, Kaka, the perfect long-distance run! ”

"Kaka, our prince!"

Seeing Kaka's goal, the on-site commentator shouted like crazy.

It's really exciting. 2-0, Blackburn Rovers entered the quarterfinals of the Champions League with one foot.

George smiled as he looked at the cheering players on the field. Blackburn had suppressed Juventus for sixty minutes and had just retracted slightly, and Juventus were certainly impatient to attack. This is a very normal way of thinking.

It's a pity that Juventus forgot.

Blackburn retreated, definitely not just for defence. Blackburn have played defensive counter-attacks in the past two years. Defending and counter-attacking, these players are deep in the bone marrow, and they are more beautiful to play than to suppress Juventus.

Defensive counterattack, not only defense, but also counterattack.

Who says a counterattack is not an offense?

When it comes to defensive counterattacks, many people think that it is the defense of the iron bucket formation, plus one or two counterattack opportunities. In fact, this is a misunderstanding of defensive counterattacks. Look at the team coached by Jose Mourinho, don't look at the defensive counterattack, but there are not many goals at all.

A counterattack is actually an offense.
