161 Battle for Righteousness (M)
George stood at Old Trafford and looked around. Old Trafford, which can accommodate 70,000 people, is indeed luxurious enough. It's no slouch of any stadium George has ever seen, including Wembley Stadium last season.
Old Trafford was packed today, as is always the case at Manchester United's home stadium. There will be no empty space except for a few hundred empty seats left by the club every game to prevent other unforeseen events. If those hundreds of seats also sell tickets, there is absolutely no worry that no one will buy them.
At the time of statistics, the attendance rate of Old Trafford was 99.0%, but in fact, it should be said that the attendance rate of Old Trafford was 100%.
George let out a long sigh of relief, this is England's Theatre of Dreams. Compared to Ferfermore and Ewood Park, Old Trafford is big enough and luxurious enough.
"George." Ferguson grinned and called out George's name.
"Coach Alex Ferguson." Ferguson's impact in the Premier League is unparalleled.
"Don't be discouraged, lad. You will succeed. Ferguson, speaking English with a thick Scottish accent, patted George on the shoulder. It's like an elder, an encouragement to the younger generations.
Maybe Ferguson was kind, but George was bitter and dissatisfied in his heart. is still too low in his grades, and he is very unconvinced by Ferguson's condescending words.
"Coach Alex Ferguson, I'll prove your word here." George smiled slightly.
"Hahaha-" Ferguson laughed when he heard George's words. "Interesting, interesting."
…………
With the referee's whistle, the tenth round of the Premier League officially began.
Duff...... Dennis couldn't keep out Duff and crossed ...... Stam pushed out. ”
"Miku, dodge the gap...... Shot! ”
'It was so surprising that just five minutes into the game, Blackburn had two shots on goal.
"Blackburn Rovers turned out to be uncharacteristically playing against Manchester United at Old Trafford. This is something that no one thought about before the game. ”
The commentator was quite surprised, with Blackburn's current state, he should think about defense first. But at the beginning of the game, it was Blackburn who dominated the game, began to control the ball in the midfield, and then pressed Manchester United to play.
George's tactics for this game are thinking about taking the lead.
Regardless, there must be some United who despise Blackburn. Don't talk about Manchester United, many strong teams in the Premier League will despise Blackburn Rovers now. Being beaten 0-8 by Arsenal made Blackburn a laughing stock in the Premier League. Later, when Leicester City played, Leicester City broke through the defense. If it weren't for the fact that they wasted too many chances and didn't know how many goals they lost.
Such a performance would certainly make United take it lightly.
George is going to take advantage of this opportunity to make a preemptive strike. It didn't score, but it worked well. The Manchester United players were indeed very surprised.
Completely different from what I've seen before, the Blackburn players suddenly started to feel like they were playing. Miku, who has been criticized by many people, can give frequent good passes in this game.
"The time passed quickly, it was already twenty-two minutes. The score is still 0-0, but there is an interesting statistic. In this game, Blackburn Rovers turned out to be 56 and Manchester United was 44. The difference is ten percentage points. Who would have thought that at Old Trafford, Blackburn's possession rate would be higher than that of Manchester United. ”
This is something that no one expected before the game, and this season the underdog Blake instinctively performed like that at Old Trafford.
In the twenty-fifth minute, it was Duff who used his speed on the right to shake off an angle. Then cross to the middle. It was Duff's third cross of the day, and on all three occasions Dennis Owen was deflected out of the way by Duff.
This can't help but make everyone sigh that the years are unforgiving, what kind of person is Dennis Owen. He was the best left-sided defender in England for nearly a decade. But Dennis Owen, who is 33 years old, is still strong. But he was only nineteen-year-old Duff, and he was left behind several times with speed.
"Damien Duff! Duff, who is only 19 years old, has been moved to the right side by George this season. But the performance was outstanding, and this is a new star that Blackburn has cultivated on their own. ”
However, three crosses were not very effective, although Klose had a good header. But under the defense of Stam as a world defender, he was always unable to reach the ball. Even if it is topped, it is very awkward.
This time it was Stam who pushed it out again, and Keane in the middle got the ball and passed it directly to Beckham on the right.
Van Bronckhorst followed Beckham closely. George has told Van Bronckhorst that David Beckham must not give him any chance to cross. So Van Bronckhorst followed Beckham closely and didn't let him get the ball comfortably.
When it comes to the technology to get out of place, Beckham is not top-notch. And Van Bronckhorst, as a defensive tough guy from the back, is still very experienced in defending Beckham. Gary Neville saw that Beckham was blocked and wanted to go up to help.
But Neville made a move, and Deco in the middle went up to defend Neville.
"David Beckham, pass to the middle...... Scholes, Deco was not able to get back to his place. …… Paul Scholes, dribbling to the middle...... Makellele! ”
Scholes broke through with the ball, as Miku and Deco were not in the middle, so the middle was empty. Scholes dribbled the ball straight into the middle, but couldn't break through the middle. Makelele, who had been criticized before, came to Scholes accurately and left the ball in place with a light hook.
Schole really despised Makelele so much that he wanted to wipe it off directly. There is no Makelele in the eyes at all, and pride is always punished.
Once Makelele had the ball, he remembered what George had said. Therefore, he didn't stop for a moment, and handed it over directly to Deco, who stepped forward. Deco didn't hesitate at all, and handed it to Pire, who was on the left.
"Deco ...... Pass the ball and Pire gets the ball. United's right flank was empty, Pire, he hesitated, Beckham was already on the up. ”
In the commentator's opinion, Pire's ball should have been cut in to the left while Neville had not yet returned to his position. But Piret didn't cut in quickly the moment he got the ball.
However, as Beckham stepped back to defend, Van Bronckhorst, who defended Beckham, also followed up to support Pire.
Piret feigned a breakthrough down the left flank, but suddenly cut inside. Pire's move made all the players of Manchester United unexpected. Since arriving in the Premier League, Piret has not been able to integrate into the Premier League as quickly as possible. Therefore, the impression of Piret is limited, and even Ferguson, as an opponent, is not very familiar with Pire's characteristics.
Not to mention Manchester United players like David Beckham and Neville. All they knew was that Pire's condition was poor and that he was moving slowly. There is limited knowledge of the characteristics of Pire.
So Pire's sudden inward cut caught the Manchester United defense a little off guard.
"Pire...... Cut in! Beckham was easily broken away by Pire...... Pire, shoot! ”
Pireneche did not continue to penetrate or pass the ball near the penalty area, but suddenly fired a shot. The power of the shot is not big, but it is sudden.
Schmeichel's view was blocked by defenders, and more importantly, Pire, the £5.5 million Frenchman who arrived at Blackburn Rovers, performed the worst of all Blackburn Rovers. None of them expected Pire to have such a kick.
All the suddenness of the moment, made this sudden goal.
Schmeichel...... This ball is a dead end, a real dead end. ”
"One to zero, one to zero. Blackburn, who had scored just three goals in their first nine games, actually led 1-0 at Old Trafford. ”
"Pire, the French player who has always been ridiculed by a lot of people. He scored his first Premier League goal at Old Trafford. Gently push and shoot straight to the dead end. Even Schmeichel didn't have anything to do. I don't think there's anything I can do with any goalkeeper. ”
When Pire saw the goal, he was stunned for a moment. Then great joy filled his body, and Pire couldn't help but shout in place.
During this time, Piret was also under great pressure. When criticizing Blackburn, Pire, who was brought in by Blackburn in a big way, performed the worst. Although it is only a quarter of the way through the league, there are already many media outlets who can't wait to put the biggest parallel hat on Pire.
For a while, Piret even had deep doubts about whether he had come to England on the right foot.
But George has always trusted him, and although his performance is poor, George has always given Pire's greatest trust. Not only did he help him in training, but he always put him in the main position.
It was Manchester United who scored today, and it was at Old Trafford.
Van Bronckhorst, who was closest to Pire, came up to Pire and hugged him tightly, while Klose and Miku in front of him both ran in an instant. They hugged Pire tightly.
Speaking of which, although it has been two months this season, it is because the Blackburn players come from all over the world. It's not very familiar yet, but the ridicule outside these words has made their relationship better.
Blackburn has endured the ridicule of others, and today he scored a Manchester United goal at Manchester United's home stadium, which made everyone excited.
And the moment Pire scored, George was also jumping and jumping on the field.
Even clasped hands and kept shouting.
Carl looked at George, who was almost crazy, and was also very excited. He understood George's excitement, and the pressure on him during this time was just too great.
Although this is just a ball, and there are more than 60 minutes left in the game. But this goal has a great effect on the morale of George and Blackburn Rovers.
'Look at Coach Levy, he's forgotten it's at Old Trafford.'
George's somewhat frantic celebration upset the Manchester United fans behind him. Boo George, but George didn't care about them at this time.
However, after the ecstasy, George did not forget that he was still a coach. So when you get to the sidelines, tell the players to hold on. Manchester United are not cats and dogs, and under the leadership of Alex Ferguson, there is a team spirit that does not admit defeat.
You can't be careless about Manchester United, even if it's a few minutes, even two minutes, a minute.
But Ferguson, on the other side, sat on the chair and chewed bubbles, crossed Erlang's legs, and did not say anything.
