374 Kick the world

The game started to tilt a bit.

Manchester United's attack was much more intense. However, Blackburn's side is still unhurried and plays according to the schedule. It's just that Blackburn's defensive intensity is much thicker.

Especially the three people at the back of the midfield, Deco's defensive ability is the worst. Even so, Deco's frontal defensive ability is okay. Plus Makelele, who kicked the ball with his head, and Hargreaves, the dog skin plaster, swept.

The defensive combination of these three made it very difficult for Manchester United to attack.

For Beckham in particular, George sent Hargreaves. Hargreaves is only 21 years old now, but has played in the Premier League for four seasons at Blackburn. Although he has not been a main player, once George needs to rotate and come off the bench, Hargreaves is the first thing that comes to mind many times.

Because Hargreaves has good physical strength, good running ability and most importantly is ruthless defensively.

Hargreaves is strong. If it weren't for Makelele, George would have had Hargreaves in the mainstay. Hargreaves' strength will definitely not be worse than Italy's Gattuso. In terms of defensive coverage, maybe it's better than Gattuso.

So after George asked Hargreaves to follow Beckham, Beckham couldn't get rid of Hargreaves at all.

Beckham's speed, stamina, and technique could not beat Hargreaves. As long as Hargreaves sticks Beckham, he will not let Beckham go.

Without the help of David Beckham on the right, United's attacking threat has dropped a lot. Thankfully, Ryan Giggs broke through on the left and was still sharp, propping up their other wing. However, against an increasingly sophisticated Sagnol, Giggs was not able to get many good chances.

Therefore, Manchester United's attack is more based on the middle.

Scholes threaded the needle up front, and Roy Brown. Keane stepped in after the attack.

Although Blackburn's defense at the back is very solid, when there is a problem in the defense, even Miku and Kaka in front will come to help.

Ten minutes into the game, the situation on the field was still deadlocked.

Manchester United can't go in, and neither can Blackburn. This made Ferguson on the sidelines very unhappy. And also looked at George, who was also standing on the sidelines, and couldn't figure out George's thoughts. Unless he has a huge advantage, George is definitely not the kind of coach who plays negatively.

But judging from the game, Blackburn did suspect a negative game. It's like being satisfied with the 0-0 score right now.

Of course, playing away games, 0-0 is definitely not an unacceptable ending. But there was an away goal, not better than it is now.

George had seven men in the midfield and three in front of him to support him. Such defensive intensity makes Manchester United's attack end in vain every time.

If they play against any other team, Manchester United will not have that problem. Although dense defense is a headache for all strong teams, many strong teams still have certain solutions. Manchester United are not without a team in the Premier League that have played heavily defensively.

But today it was Blackburn.

The players at Blackburn Rovers in all positions are world-class players. When they start playing this kind of defense, any strong team in the world will have a headache.

The game went by in this situation.

With 22 minutes played, Scholes' long-range shot was saved by Van der Sar as Blackburn Rovers pressed into the defence. After Van der Sar got the ball, he was directly a big foot.

Van der Sar is a very strong goalkeeper.

In addition to everything a goalkeeper possesses, Van der Sar has a lot of strengths that other goalkeepers don't have. One is that his hand throws the ball very far, and often a hand throws the ball more than 30 meters. When switching between attack and defense, a hand-tossed ball can be directly handed to the player who counterattacks in the middle.

And then there's his big feet. Van der Sar's big-footed passes were accurate, on the same level as the midfielders who controlled the tempo of the game.

This time was no exception. Van der Sar was straight with a big foot and passed to the front.

Van der Sar is looking for Drogba.

Drogba's current technique is a bit rough with his feet, and he always kicks the ball off or at the goalkeeper. But Drogba has a little bit of strength, even Klose can't compare. It's his beast-like body.

In the past few years in the Premier League, Drogba has learned the most important thing is how to use his body reasonably.

As a result, Drogba was completely on a rampage up front. Crashing into someone's house, Woodgate was dizzy. Woodgate is a good player, with a ball in the air and a frontal defense. But the body is really not as good as the central defenders like Campbell and Terry.

So in the confrontation with Drogba, he is physically at a disadvantage.

Van der Sar kicked off with a big foot and Drogba quickly took a position. Then he leaned his back against Woodgate to prevent him from grabbing his position. Then he looked at the flying ball, stopped it with his chest, and handed it directly to Miku, who ran up from the right.

Miku was just near the halfway line when he saw Van der Sar's big foot kicking off and ran straight up.

Van der Sar ...... Drogba, passing...... Miku! ”

After Miku got the ball, Keane next to him didn't pounce quickly. But it had already blocked Miku's running route, and even Miku and Drogba's two-by-one route had been blocked. It's a pity that Keane is only one person after all, and it is impossible to block it in all directions.

Miku still passed the ball out.

Miku passes to Kaka, who is running down the right.

Miku ...... The ball was wrong, the pass was too big. Miku shouldn't be! ”

After Miku's pass, Martin. Taylor was surprised. Because Miku's pass was obviously for Kaka, and the ball was passed into Kaka's running path. But the ball seemed to the commentator to be too big because it was closer to the centre-backs at the back.

Especially the proximity to Brown.

Martin. Taylor has commented on Blackburn's game many times. I know Miku very well. Miku shouldn't have such a low-level passing error. So it's a pity that a good chance to fight back is gone.

But just after that, Martin. Taylor was stunned.

Because I just said that Miku's pass was big, I didn't expect Kaka's speed to be together, just like the wind. Obviously, Brown was closer to the ball at the beginning, but in the blink of an eye, Kaka was already in front of the ball, and Brown was still more than a meter away from the ball.

Martin. Taylor was stunned, and Brown was even more surprised.

It's not like Brown hasn't seen a speed player, having played against Henry and Irving. But I didn't expect Kaka's speed to be too fast, and he was completely on par with Henry and Owen. This time Brown was a step too late, but Brown would never let Kaka go so easily.

Because after Brown, then the back will directly face the goalkeeper.

So Brown was just a tackle and wanted to poke the ball out before Kaka could control it.

However, Kaka saw Brown's tackle and gently picked the ball up, and the man jumped over. Kaka is such a big person, and this time it is very light.

"Kaka, it's too fast...... Kaka, lob ...... Kaka, skipping Brown. Kaka is going to face the goalkeeper. Barthez ...... Kaka, shoot! ”

Yes, Kaka passed Brown so easily and faced Barthez directly.

Woodgate, who was next to him, had been entangled with Drogba, and he couldn't come over to defend Kaka. In desperation, Barthez could only abandon the door and attack. Kaka doesn't look young, but unlike Drogba, he chooses to shoot hard as long as he is single-handed.

No matter what position Drogba is in, as long as there is an angle on goal, he is a powerful shot. Therefore, the single knife always hits the goalkeeper.

But Kaka is different. Kaka is a European Brazilian player, but he is still a Brazilian player after all. In the face of Barthez, who attacked, he made a very calm push, and the ball slowly rolled into the goal.

“goooooooal!!!!!!!!”

"Kaka, it's Kaka. Players brought in by George last summer with a 'special talent clause'. He didn't have much of a show in the league, but in the Champions League it was his second goal. The last time we scored was away from home. ”

'Away goals, Blackburn got an away goal. The game was in Blackburn's favor. ”

Kaka saw the goal and pointed his index finger to the sky. made his most classic celebratory move. Drogba and Miku, who were closest to him, came to celebrate Kaka.

After seeing Kaka's goal, George couldn't help but kneel on the sidelines and clench his fists.

It's already in the semi-finals, and George really wants to be in the final. Champions League victory, that's George's biggest dream since becoming manager. Or to be a manager in Europe, who doesn't want to live the Champions League.

Blackburn Rovers are in a good situation right now.

Because they have already scored an away goal. Away goals are very important in the knockout rounds of the Champions League.

George looked at the annoyed Ferguson next to him and smiled, "Hehe".

Ferguson couldn't have guessed his starting line-up. And he values everyone, and he can't guess that Kaka is the killer move. George admits that his starting lineup was a steal from Carlo Ancelotti's Christmas tree style that later swept Europe.

However, the personnel are different, and this one is at most a trumpet.

However, the small Christmas tree alone is already very powerful.

George didn't choose Anelka, but Drogba just to get the most out of Kaka. Anelka, this guy gets the ball and goes up on his own, never wants to work with people. This is Anelka's surname, and George is not capable of changing it.

But Drogba is different.

Drogba is a bridgehead in front. And it can put enough pressure on the opponent's backline, and it can also give Kaka enough space to play.

That's why George chose to put Drogba on the pitch. And with a player like Miku next to him to help Kaka, how can he not let Kaka have enough room to play.

"Kaka, just a substitute for Blackburn this season. But looking at Kaka's breakthrough and shooting just now, this is indeed a genius. It is believed that Kaka must be Blackburn's midfield man in the future. "Martin. Taylor is full of praise for Kaka.

It was in the semi-finals of the Champions League.

It was a race that was watched all over Europe and the world. With this goal, Kaka really shocked the world.
