The two teams play in completely different styles, with United attacking more with high balls. Although Ferguson is a coach who dares to change, and also learns continental football. But at the moment, Manchester United is more about two crosses from the flanks than on the ground.

Blackburn Rovers are more accustomed to walking on the ground, which is related to the fact that the current Blackburn midfielders are Miku and Deco control the game.

Two styles of football began to collide at Ewood Park.

Keane is currently the best defensive midfielder in the Premier League, with excellent interceptions and plenty of energy, covering his runs from his own box to the opposition's box. And he also has a long-range shot and header ability, so his goalscoring ability is not bad at all.

Because Scholes was a little up front in this game, Keane was a bit further down. His goal is to prevent Miku from playing freely. For a season, Miku's characteristics have been well known to many people.

Miku's possession of the ball is excellent, his threatening passing is a must-have in football, and his ability to break through and shoot from the back is very impressive. Therefore, once Miku is very comfortable to turn around and face the opponent's defense, then it is a very dangerous thing.

So Keane was staring at Miku tightly.

But Blackburn's offense wasn't just Miku alone. As the second half began to take on Manchester United's midfield, Blackburn Rovers began to look for attacking opportunities. It was another beautiful cross from David Beckham, but this time it was topped out by Hyypia, who had judged it in advance.

Makelele has learned to be good in this position, and after getting the ball, he did not hesitate to hand it to Deco in front of him.

Deco played an average game and was mainly responsible for defense in the first half. In the second half, he was more responsible for possession and passing at the back, so as to control Blackburn's attacking tempo. But this time, after getting the ball, Deco didn't pass to Miku or the two wings as before.

After getting the ball, Deco suddenly stepped forward. It should be said that Deco's explosiveness is not strong, and it cannot be compared to Scholes at all. But Deco's forward dribbling was something Scholes next to him didn't expect.

Therefore, Scholes, who was looking at Deco in front, was unable to stop Deco's forward insertion.

Deco's forward thrust was very sudden. It opened the door wide for Manchester United's midfield.

Robbie. Keane came to the front quickly the moment Deco stepped in front of him, wanting to steal Deco's ball in the first place. However, Deco only stepped forward and didn't even think about continuing to dribble the ball. In the split second Keane left Miku, he passed the ball to Miku.

After Miku got the ball, he was already facing Manchester United's backline.

Johnson stepped back to defend Klose. Stam, on the other hand, stepped forward to prevent Miku from easily entering the box. Miku didn't entangle with the menacing Stam and made a feint to the left, and when everyone's attention was on Pire, it suddenly made a direct pass.

"Stam...... Miku's pass, Stam's position is empty, it's Duff! ”

Miku's through ball was in the Stam position and Philippe on the left. Neville's clearance, Duff on the right told to plug in. Just in time for this ball.

"Pretty, so pretty! Miku's passing is art in every sense of the word, Duff...... One buckle, shoot! ”

Although Duff is very young, he is not flustered at all in the opponent's penalty area. The moment he got the ball, Johnson leaned in and saw Duff's shot with a tackle. But Duff pretended to shoot, and then with a button, he directly shook Johnson and Schmeichel over.

Then, with a flick of his right foot, the ball rolls into the goal from the far side.

After seeing the goal, George ran on the sidelines with his arms raised. Then he went back to the bench and hugged Evan tightly. George's heart is not worried about being fake. If this game is lost, and Leeds side wins, then it will be a big deal.

Arsenal in the next game, who dares to pat their chests and say that they will be able to beat Arsenal. After all, Arsenal are also working hard for the title.

“goooooooooooooal！！！！！！” The on-site commentators cheered happily when they saw the goal. "Duff, Damien. Duff! A beautiful goal and we equalised. ”

The cheers of the fans made the Ewood Park stadium completely become a sea of cheers.

It was at this home stadium that Blackburn had lost 8-0 to Arsenal. But against Manchester United of the same level today, Blackburn played no badly. All Blackburn Rovers fans believe that if it weren't for Black's poor results at the beginning of the season, they would have been competing with Manchester United and Arsenal for the Premier League title now.

"Damien. Duff! "Damien. Duff! ”

The cheers for Duff were even louder. Compared to other Blackburn players, Duff's popularity among Blackburn fans is definitely bursting. Or that their attitude towards Duff is different.

Why?

Because Duff is a player trained by Blackburn himself, this is Duff's second season as a main player. Duff is just over 20 years old and is one of Blackburn's most promising players.

Duff is his own person! That reason alone is enough for Blackburn Rovers fans to love Duff.

Seeing Duff's goal, George was not only excited, but also a little insightful. A small trick is a small trick after all, and it can't be put on the table.

Depending on the opponent, it is right to make a surname arrangement. But it also depends on your own situation, and then it is good to set it up. Just like this time, George was right. Manchester United are more anxious and less physical than Blackburn. These are all things that can be utilized.

George was right to want to counter-attack Manchester United, but not the kind of counter-attack that came in the first half. Burnley are very skilled at shrinking defensively and then counter-attacking because they are defending defensively. George used that to win against Arsenal and Chelsea, and also won the title.

But Blackburn's style is different, and Blackburn have always been a team that plays with midfield control and pressing. Letting them retract their defense for a while only greatly reduced the strength of Miku and Deco.

When have we seen Arsene Wenger's Arsenal retract their defence and kick violently, Mourinho's Chelsea play complex passing combinations. If they do this kind of nondescript initiative, they are asking for their own death.

The first thing you should do with your opponent is that your team's performance is not affected. All set-ups should be changed to suit your team's style. Instead of just writing and drawing on a blank piece of paper.

This kind of thing when he was taking the coaching certificate, George didn't learn it at all. These things need to be learned in practice. It's no wonder that in the coaching industry, the older you are, the more powerful you are. Because they have enough experience to cope with any situation.

Ferguson, who has been sitting firmly in the Diaoyutai since the beginning, can no longer sit still, because news came from the other side of the field that Leeds United had a 2-0 lead over Arsenal. Arsenal's defeat in this game is basically a foregone conclusion. Such a great opportunity, of course, Ferguson did not want to give up.

Alex Ferguson is a very controlling coach and he is also a very stubborn coach. He will definitely not leave his fate to anyone else, because this game cannot be won, then the next game will depend on Arsenal's face.

So Ferguson got up and shouted a few words into the pitch, which the United players could not hear in the noisy scene. But they saw Ferguson's roar and knew what to do.

"Ferguson is starting to get anxious. Now Arsenal are 2-0 down to Leeds United at the other venue, which is a very good chance. However, George will not be satisfied with the current score, as the gap between Leeds and Blackburn Rovers is only three points. With the last game left, no one can say what will happen. "Martin. Taylor said with a smile as he watched the increasingly intense competition.

'Yes, neither Ferguson nor George will accept a draw in this game.'

It is true that the draw was a loss for both Ferguson and George. Therefore, the two teams began to face off head-to-head. Blackburn didn't retreat like they did in the first half, but started aggressively fighting in midfield.

Manchester United still use their attacking style of wide open and close and don't entangle you in midfield. It's more about the two wide crosses and finding their two strikers.

Blackburn's attack was to use passing, more and more passes to mobilize United's defence.

The pace of the game is getting faster and more intense, and gradually Manchester United's physical problems are becoming more and more obvious. Even George can see that Manchester United's physical strength is really a problem. While Ferguson started to make substitutions to keep the tempo on the pitch, they have had just too many games lately.

Just a week before this game, United had played two games in a row. It was their third game of the week. Although it was a rotation, they were still greatly affected. At first they made up for it with momentum, but as Blackburn's passes became more frequent, they couldn't keep up with the pace of the ball.

Now the game against Blackburn Rovers is completely on the back of one breath. It is only by a belief that we will not admit defeat that we can persevere. When it comes to physical strength, Manchester United's physical strength has reached a limit. This can be seen from the retreat of Keane and Scholes from the midfield.

And Giggs's breakthrough began to decrease a lot after more than 70 minutes.

George was not going to give United a chance and immediately replaced Claude Makelele with Hargreaves. Makelle has always only been holding his position, but his ability to step forward is very limited. Manchester United retreated, and George was going to attack.

George's demands on Blackburn Rovers began to change, not to play high balls and to use technique to attack their backline.

Blackburn kept passing the ball and the ball was passed to Pire's feet. Since Pire began to be known by the major teams in the Premier League, there has been more and more attention to Pire's defence. In this game, Neville was even more closely staring at Pire, who had not performed well since coming on in the second half.

But Pire, who came on in the second half, was full of energy, and after getting the ball, he cut in front of Neville.

"Pire, Neche...... Pretty over, Pire actually wore it between Neville and Johnson...... Johnson didn't mark the ball and his physical strength was at its peak. Pire, passing...... Miku! ”
