Trailing 0-1.

George was furious. You can't lose to Eindhoven if you lose to anyone. It's also too humiliating.

In this group, except for Athens AEK, Eindhoven is weak. Losing to PSV Eindhoven, George didn't even think about it.

So after the restart, Blackburn unconsciously began to attack. For the Blackburn players, it was a big surprise to be behind PSV Eindhoven. Although Blackburn has had a lot of main departures in the past two years, its strength is still there.

The skeleton of the team is still there.

These players are all Premier League and Champions League winners. Now they are behind a team from the Eredivisie like PSV Eindhoven, and they are certainly not convinced. If it was the Eredivisie ten years ago, there would be nothing to say about falling behind.

But since the Boseman Act, the Eredivisie has completely declined.

Therefore, falling behind PSV Eindhoven is a shame in the eyes of the Blackburn players.

So the onslaught began.

It's a pity that George forgot who was in front of him? That's Hiddink. What are the characteristics of the national team coached by Guus Hiddink? The biggest feature is that you can run.

Whether it's coaching South Korea, Australia, Russia or even taking over Chelsea midway, Hiddink's side are a sight to behold. That's the strength, that's the characteristic.

Although PSV Eindhoven is a team in the Eredivisie, it has already shown this sign of success under Hiddink's tutelage.

In the face of Blackburn's attack, PSV Eindhoven's entire squad was involved in defending. And their defense is not based on positioning, but on the movement of all players. If each player runs a little more than the Blackburn players, then the whole team will run a little more than Blackburn.

There was more running, and Eindhoven was like one more person.

Anyway, PSV Eindhoven is completely using his own running to tell Blackburn that we are physically strong and we can run.

PSV Eindhoven's style of play surprised many people. Compared with the physical strength of the Premier League team, it is estimated that PSV Eindhoven is the first. But their running is still very useful.

Because unless it's Blackburn who also increases running, and also increases the number of offensive players. Otherwise, it is difficult to take advantage of the front. So soon Hargreaves stepped forward to support the attack. George watched Blackburn's offense and always felt something was wrong.

Especially seeing Robben also involved in the defense made George very confused.

Robben's physical strength is not very good. It is also the only counter-attacking point for PSV Eindhoven at the moment, how could Hiddink be willing to defend Robben as well.

But it didn't take long for George to understand.

Arjen Robben looks like he's involved in the defense, but it's just a show. And his position is very interesting, he is standing in front, interfering with Sagnol and not allowing him to come forward to support. Sagnol's cross was a very important part of Blackburn's attack.

And then there's Park Ji-sung.

Hiddink deserves to be Park Ji-sung's mentor. He brought him from East Asia to the Netherlands, and he knows the characteristics of Park Ji-sung well. Hiddink just asked Park Ji-sung to harass Alonso. In any other aspect, Park Ji-sung simply cannot be compared to Alonso, except for the same.

Park Ji-sung is so good at running.

No matter what Alonso does, Park Ji-sung can run at a constant speed. All the way to Alonso.

Alonso is not without experience with defenders. However, because Alonso is a playmaker in the back, under normal circumstances, Alonso's midfielders come to interfere with the ball. It's just that their interference is more symbolic, that is, not allowing Alonso to pass the ball quickly.

As long as you interfere with Alonso and don't let him pass the ball quickly, then Blackburn's counter-attack will not work.

But the Park Ji-sung he faced today was different.

Park Ji-sung is a real three-lung Park. After running for more than thirty minutes, there was not much time to rest at all. But he didn't feel tired at all.

The pressure he put on Alonso wasn't ordinary. In the beginning, Alonso was able to easily shake off Park Ji-sung on several occasions and then pass the ball out. But after almost 30 minutes, Alonso needed to catch his breath.

Alonso will be hoping to control the tempo of the game and give the Blackburn Rovers players who have been attacking the opposition for 15 minutes a short break.

But I didn't expect that this kid in front of me was completely crazy.

It's like he doesn't know what it means to be tired. Although the defensive skills are not good, they just follow him firmly. This made Alonso uncomfortable.

Thirty minutes into the game, Blackburn's attack slowed down.

One of Pire's passes was cut off by Bouma. It was passed directly to the front. Park Ji-sung, who had just been disturbing Alonso, received the ball and handed it to Robben next to him without hesitation. Park Ji-sung is self-aware, and he knows that it is useless for him to hold this ball.

In the face of Blackburn's defense, with Park Ji-sung's dribbling ability, he will definitely not be able to pass.

So it went straight to Robben on the left.

Robben is only nineteen years old now. But there are some geniuses that cannot be measured by age. Robben was such a genius.

Robben's dribbling ability, if put in the game, is full value.

Coupled with Robben's speed and technology, who can guard against it together. After Robben got the ball, he didn't care about the defense in front of him. Especially Hargreaves was not by Robben's side at this time, and Robben was even more free.

“…… Robben ...... Sagnol came to the defensive. ”

Now in front of Robben is Sagnol.

Sagnol is definitely the number one right-back in world football now. In Blackburn, Sagnol has achieved a lot. Although because he still has Thuram in the national team, he was not able to get the main position of the national team.

But when it comes to right-backs in today's world football, Sagnol is definitely at the top.

As for Robben, what is he?

It's just a small character who has just emerged in the Dutch league.

Although George stressed Robben's awesomeness before the game. But in Sagnol's eyes, Robben is still a little hairy child.

It's a pity that some little hairy children are different.

Robben's running is characteristic. Unlike traditional wingers, Robben's height of 1.81m is not short, but he is as agile as all wingers. Due to his thin stature, Robben was quick to start and change direction, which also allowed him to often play his opponents between applause.

And Robben's pass, unlike other wingers who use feints to shake continuously, Robben's passing method is more direct. Robben's brilliance is to use speed to make you completely puzzled.

Robben's speed was just too fast.

Facing a world-class right-back like Sagnol, Robben was not at all intimidated. First made a feint to break through the middle, then in an instant he led the ball out with his left foot, and then ran out.

Sagnol felt a shadow flicker, and Robben scurried past him to his right.

Sagnol had only one idea at the time. It's so fast, it's fast.

Sagnol is by no means the kind of person who hasn't seen a speed player. In the Premier League, he played against Ovemas and Owen. But I never felt like a player could be lightning fast and be such a tall player.

"Wow, Robben, it's Robben. His speed was so fast, like a gust of wind. ”

Everyone was shocked.

Fortunately, Sagnol has been through the storm for a long time. Although he was taken aback by Robben, he was still very responsible. Start a return visit right away. It's a pity that Robben's speed is too fast, and he is already approaching the penalty area.

Seeing Robben's counterattack so quickly, Lucio reluctantly stepped forward to intercept it.

Robben saw Lucio and continued to walk to the side.

Robben moved too fast. Lucio could only instinctively follow Robben and prevent Robben from entering the small penalty area.

Unfortunately, Robben did not continue in the penalty area, but flicked his left foot and passed the ball to the middle.

“…… Robben, passing...... Kai Yuman, shoot! ”

Although he was in front of Robben when he counterattacked. But when Robben dribbled the ball and began to counterattack, he couldn't beat Robben's speed. Robben dribbled faster than Kai Yueman, Robben entered the Blackburn penalty area, and Kai Yueman only arrived near the big penalty area.

But it just so happened that Cayman could receive a pass from Robben.

Kai Yueman's shot was very light. With just a slight push, the ball rolled in from the other side of Van der Sar.

"Two to zero. Kayman scored twice, and 60 per cent of the credit for the goal should go to the young Robben. It's so beautiful. ”

At the Philips Stadium, a huge cheer erupted.

PSV Eindhoven fans were so excited. To be able to lead Blackburn Rovers 2-0 at home is really unthinkable.

Hiddink held out his big belly and raised his hands in celebration.

George shook his fist the sidelines. It's really disadvantageous, the first game of the Champions League group stage was bullied by PSV Eindhoven like this.

Careless. It's so careless.

knew that the opponent was Hiddink, but he was still so careless. Hiddink, an old fox, how could he be underestimated.

In the second half, George began a new deployment.

George replaces Hargreaves and brings on Drogba. Plunge Eindhoven with the twin striker formation of Klose and Drogba.

PSV Eindhoven don't have any particularly good centre-backs.

Therefore, George used the two wings to play the ball frequently. Hopefully smash a way with headers from Klose and Drogba. Although before the end of the game, Drogba smashed a header. But already to no avail.

Blackburn Rovers eventually lost 2-1 to PSV Eindhoven at the Liverpool Stadium.

In the first Champions League group game, there was only one defeat. In the other match, Monaco won 1-0 away at AEK Athens.

Except for this group, all the games in other groups are basically without any suspense. It's all about strong teams beating weak teams, and there are no unusual games. Only Blackburn Rovers lost to PSV Eindhoven in the face of everyone's favourites.

So much so that after the game, the media only had a big greeting for this game. Then two words were written: unpopular.
