Watching the game scene over and over again, Deschamps in front of the TV frowned deeply.

"Gyan, look at Blackburn's strength?"

"Very strong."

The speech was brief. But the speech is very powerful. Listening to his words, Deschamps nodded.

'Blackburn had a bad run in the first two games, these guys have all that they say. They are all people who don't have a backache when they stand and talk. Don't talk about us, even if any club in Europe meets Blackburn, who would dare to be careless? ”

Deschamps smiled disdainfully.

Deschamps was not careless at all. Because he's going to be on Blackburn's home turf to challenge Blackburn.

Compared to Monaco, where Deschamps is currently coaching, Blackburn is much more famous. Although Monaco is a Ligue 1 giant, their results in recent years have been too poor. Blackburn Rovers have been at their best these seasons.

Although Deschamps values Blackburn in his heart, he is not afraid of Blackburn at all.

Didier Deschamps is a tough guy.

I've never been afraid of anyone, any team. Even if it is against Blackburn, even if it is against Real Madrid and Milan, he will only pay attention to it in his heart and will not be afraid.

To face George, Deschamps still had a faint hint of excitement in his heart.

………… October 22, Ewood Park.

Blackburn Rovers fans take this game very seriously. Not only the fans, but also many European media are taking this game seriously. Even on the other side, there is a strong dialogue between Arsenal and Inter Milan, which is not more valued than this game.

Mainly because everyone wants to see the fate of Blackburn.

In the first two games, Blackburn had one draw and one loss, accumulating only one point. Monaco, on the other hand, have won two games and accumulated six points. If Blackburn have a little more slip-up in this game, then there is a real chance that Blackburn will not be able to emerge from this group.

That's why there's so much media attention.

Of course, they probably came more to see Blackburn's jokes.

George didn't care much on the surface, but he was actually very nervous about the game. There can't be any more slip-ups, and if there are any more slip-ups in this game, there really is a chance that it won't happen. If the group stage can't be made, then it can be regarded as losing face to the solar system.

So in this game, George sent all the main players who could be sent according to the Monaco lineup.

Monaco has a lot of style of play.

Sometimes he played 4-4-2, but sometimes he played 4-3-3.

Monaco usually play 4-4-2, with Bernardi and Zicos in the middle of the midfield and Giuli and Roten on the wings. As for the forward line, it is Pulsau and Morientes. This is a common formation at Monaco.

On the road, George believes Didier Deschamps will adopt such a balanced formation.

However, when analysing the Monaco squad before the game, Blanco thought that Monaco would not have such a lineup. Blanco decided that Didier Deschamps was not a coach of this style.

You're hard, I'm harder than you.

Blanco is familiar with his national team-mate Didier Deschamps.

So Blanco decided that Deschamps would definitely not back down. Didier Deschamps is sure to field a squad you wouldn't expect at Blackburn's home stadium and will play in a-for-tat formation. Blanco is more familiar with Deschamps than Georges is, after all.

George took Blanco's opinion.

Arrangements were made for Monaco's three midfielders and three strikers.

Sure enough, the starting list came out, and Blanco's guess was completely right. Blanco did take 4-3-3.

When Monaco played three midfielders and three strikers, the attack was still very strong. Cisse, Bernardi and Zicos were a three-man midfielder, followed by two wingers, Gyuli and Roten, and in front of him was Morientes.

Gyuli and Roten, players who can play even in Europeans and big clubs.

Needless to say, Morientes. That is Real Madrid's main striker for many years, and in Real Madrid's achievements in previous seasons, Morientes' contribution is great. The attacking lineup composed of these three people is absolutely strong.

Amid the cheers of the Ewood Park fans, George stood on the sidelines of the pitch waiting for Deschamps.

After Deschamps came out, he first shook hands with George. Then a warm hug with Blanco next to George.

"Didier Deschamps and Georges, the two youngest Champions League managers in European football. Both are 35 years old, and both are representatives of the current young coaches in European football. ”

"George's achievements don't need to be counted. Let's talk about Didier Deschamps, the former captain of the French national team. At the age of 32, he became the head coach of Monaco, bringing Monaco, who were on the verge of relegation, back into the ranks of the Ligue 1 powerhouses. Last season, Monaco not only finished runners-up in Ligue 1, but also won the French Cup. ”

"This season, Didier Deschamps' Monaco have been even better. In the group stage of the Champions League, they defeated AEK Athens and PSV Eindhoven in succession, and are currently at the top of the group stage standings with six points. With the addition of coaches such as Carlo Ancelotti and Benitez, there are more and more young coaches in world football. The future of world football is theirs. ”

"Now the two managers, who are only 35 years old, are meeting for the first time. Let's take a look at their performance. ”

Martin. Taylor, with his distinctive, magnetic voice, has already begun his commentary work.

Yes, Didier Deschamps and George are the representatives of young managers in European football at the moment.

Carlo Ancelotti and Rafael Benitez are both young coaches in European football. Although they are only young coaches in their early forties, they are older than George and Deschamps. George and Deschamp are both managers at the age of 35.

Deschamps only had a brief conversation with Blanco and went to his bench.

Didier Deschamps is a player. A straight body, a resolute face. Didier Deschamps is George's favourite player.

It's not because George is a Deschamps fan, George is not a France fan. George likes Didier Deschamps from a coaching perspective. Although the French genius Cantona sarcastically mocked him as a "water picker", because Cantona looked down on a player like Deschamps who did the dirty work.

But George was very fond of this kind of player.

The French national team was able to win the 98 World Cup and the 00 World Cup because of a strong and solid defense. Otherwise, with the third-rate forward combination of the French national team at that time, how could he win the World Cup.

Now these players are the head coaches.

George shook his head. Playing against these players he likes gave George some idea of time and space dislocation.

"The referee's whistle blew. The race has begun. Let's talk about the starting lineups of both sides. Monaco's starting lineup is goalkeeper Roma, and the backline is Patrice Evra, Gale. Giwe, Squeraci, Ibarra, Roten, Cisse, Bernardi, Zicos, Gyuli in midfield, and Morientes in the forward line. ”

"Blackburn Rovers started with goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar, at the back with Reese, Lucio, Campbell, Sagnol, in midfield, Pire, Alonso, Hargreaves, Kaka, Miku and Drogba up front."

Martin. Taylor gave a brief overview of the starting line-ups for both sides.

Deschamps is a very smart man.

Otherwise, it would not have been possible to become the best defender in the world with a small man. Especially as a defensive midfielder, his body suffers a lot. But he was able to do it with ease, all because Deschamps is a man who plays with his brains.

Since taking charge, Deschamps' coaching style has also changed dramatically. I don't stick to a certain style of play at all.

That's what this game is.

It doesn't belong to you in momentum. With a three-striker formation, tell Blackburn, I'm not afraid of you.

But when it comes to the specific style of play, I don't adopt that kind of onslaught style of play. He was letting the line-up go a little further down and making interceptions in midfield. Then as soon as you grab the ball, you give it to the two wings. Gyuli and Roten are both fast and excellent dribbling players.

Great for counter-attacks.

There was a light rain in the sky, and it was raining all day today. However, this kind of rain is normal in England.

It's just that the drainage system in Ewood Park, although it is also relatively advanced. But there was still a lot of standing water on the field. The venue is still quite slippery. Although Blackburn Rovers are used to this kind of weather, after all, this kind of weather is not very favorable for Blackburn.

Pire, Kaka and Miku in midfield are all technical players.

This kind of weather still has a certain impact on their performance.

When George was complaining about God on the sidelines, God gave George a big warning.

The game was clear, Blackburn Rovers attacked, Monaco defended. Monaco barely had a chance in the first ten minutes. But God gave Monaco a chance.

Gail. Giwe is a big foot, and there is no threat in speaking. Lucio defends Morientes, and even the best of Morientes is being able to control the ball. But when the ball flew, Lucio, who was defending Morientes, was thrown to the ground on all fours by the slippery field.

“…… Long Passing ...... Lucio, Lucio fell! ”

Lucio's fall came without warning. And it was all because of the slippery nature of the rain, which made Lucio slip and fall.

Morientes was also stunned, but quickly seized such a great opportunity.

Because of Lucio's fall, Blackburn Rovers opened wide at the back. Morientes is a long-distance drive. Lucio fell, and even Campbell next to him shook him. Therefore, Morientes has become a completely one-man trend.

Morientes isn't fast, but Campbell isn't the type of speedman either.

"Morientes...... It's a one-on-one knife, Van der Sar, and he walked out of the door...... Morientes, shot! ”

"Good!"

"1-0, Monaco, who are playing away, with Morientes' goal, is one goal ahead of Blackburn. Accident, too unexpected. The ball came out because Lucio accidentally fell. ”

It's so frustrating.

The defender makes a long pass, and the striker scores.

Lucio patted the turf with remorse. Why did you fall at a critical moment?
