384 volleys
Until the end of the first half, no one was able to continue to score. The two sides ended the first half with a 1-1 scoreline.
George wasn't very satisfied.
Real Madrid has a lot of holes. They are strong offensively, but they are also very problematic defensively. For Real Madrid, it should be to suppress them with attacks. Once Blackburn's side is attacking well, George believes that Real Madrid's attack will not be able to fight.
Real Madrid's defense has a lot to offer. The two full-backs, Cambiaso in the middle, were holes.
Real Madrid have several players who can defend.
Zidane? Figo? Guti? They are all geniuses in attack. But let them go on defense, they can't put that kind of shelf. Even if they put down the shelf, their defensive ability is limited.
How could a midfielder rely on just one Cambiaso, who could stop Blackburn's attack. But Blackburn couldn't put enough pressure on Real Madrid to let Zidane and Figo do whatever they wanted in the frontcourt.
The first thing George criticized when he entered the locker room was Deco.
"Anderson, what the hell were you doing in the first half? I'll let you be a defender in the back. I handed over the command of the team to you, and you played like this. Are you too nervous to need me to replace you? Tell me, can you keep playing? ”
George has always been very fond of this man he brought with him from Portugal.
Rarely is there such an unceremonious criticism.
Deco blushed and stood up. "No, head. I'm not nervous, I can get on with it. ”
After saying Deco, George glanced at him, and all the players hurried to avoid George. George smiled helplessly, is he so terrible?
George immediately changed his face.
'We played the first half against Real Madrid, you should have seen that. Real Madrid don't have anything, they may be strong in attack. But their defense can't stop us at all. Attack, suppress them with offense. Especially to keep Guti down. ”
"You see, as long as we go up on the offensive in this area, they can only retreat. After retreating, they were not in any danger. ”
George drew various lines on the tactics board and told the players how to attack.
But no matter how you attack, the breakthrough point is in the middle.
Cambiaso in the middle is the weakest, while Blackburn Miku is the strongest. Only by putting enough pressure on Cambiaso then Guti thinks he has to go back and help. Without Guti, then the pressure on Deco would of course be gone.
Then the whole situation can be pulled back.
………… With the resumption of the second half, there was indeed a lot less tension on Blackburn's side.
Deco, in particular, used his stance to influence Guti. Deco stepped forward, and Guti couldn't ignore Deco. And as soon as Deco started to let go of his hands and feet, his ability to run showed itself. Deco's running ability as a midfielder is fully qualified.
Although Guti is more talented than Deco, or his unpredictable imagination and passing are much better than Deco. But in terms of physical strength, defense, and control of the game, Guti is far inferior to Deco. Guti's greatest feature is his passing ability in midfield.
It's a pity that the position is Zidane's position now.
Therefore, Guti can only retreat, but here he cannot exert Guti's greatest power. If Blackburn's attacking strength is not enough, Guti will certainly be a big threat in the back. Because all of a sudden, with that kick of the ball, it was absolutely deadly.
It's a pity that because Blackburn has a strong offensive strength, Guti's position is getting deeper and lower. He can't play his strong offensive strength.
However, Guti retreated, but Real Madrid's attack did not.
After Guti retired, Zidane's position was also slightly further back. Zidane's position was instead occupied by Raul, who retreated. And Zidane is more of a pass to mobilize the attack, especially the attack on Figo's side is still fierce.
So the game has been different.
Blackburn's attack relied on Deco's scheduling, and then Miku decided the direction of attack. But most of it was on the right side, this time with Carlos. Real Madrid, on the other hand, relied on Figo on the right side and played on the side of Reese.
On the contrary, the two sides did not play much in the middle.
Soon the game fell into a stalemate. However, overall, it is Blackburn's side that has the advantage.
Because Miku can choose to play Pire's side, he can also play Duff's side. There are more options than Real Madrid.
Zidane's retreat made Real Madrid's attack much smoother. But it also gives Deco more room to move.
When there are more Adecco spaces, there are more ideas. The performance is more and more comfortable and stronger.
It was again a break from Figo on the wing, and then a cross that was headed out by Campbell. Deco got the ball.
Although Deco has more space to move, he generally uses his passing to mobilize Blackburn's defense. But this time Deco didn't pass the ball, but a sudden forward cut.
“…… Deco, back plugged ...... Guti, tackle! ”
Deco's sudden forward insertion really caught the Real Madrid midfielder off guard. Fortunately, Guti reacted quickly and came to Deco to prepare for defense. However, in terms of attack, Guti is a rare genius player in world football, but in terms of defense, in the Premier League, a defensive midfielder is not known how many times stronger than Guti.
With a few simple shakes, Guti was already revealing a huge void. In the end, Guti had no choice but to tackle, but this tackle made Guti completely lose his position. Of course, Deco would not let go of this opportunity, and ran directly from the side.
"Deco, break through Guti. Deco...... Pass! ”
Deco is not Kaka. He couldn't break through all the time, and after breaking through Guti, when everyone thought Deco would continue to cut forward, Deco made a pass. The ball was a 45-degree pass that went straight into the Real Madrid penalty area.
"Miku, it's Miku's anti-offside! Miku ...... Shot! ”
Deco's passing was very accurate, and of course Miku's anti-offside position was also very beautiful. Deco's pass was to the right side of the Real Madrid backline, and Miku was in that position. Hierro and Elgra defended Klose but didn't look at Miku who was plugged in behind.
Miku's timing is very accurate.
Deco's pass was perfectly matched with Miku's forward cut. Miku received a pass from Deco without any defenders around.
Miku didn't stop the ball and was a volley in the face of Deco's pass.
Casillas was already trying to make a save. But Deco's pass was sudden, and Miku's forward cut was even more abrupt. In addition, Miku's volley speed is fast and the angle is also very tricky. Straight from the near post, Casillas rolled in under his armpit.
“gooooooooooal!!!!!!!!!!!”
Mortenson was excited. "Miku, it's Miku! In the sixteen minutes of the second half, the sixty-first minute of the whole game, relying on Miku's goal, Blackburn once again led Real Madrid. ”
"Deco and Miku, the two big midfielders at Blackburn, broke through the entire Real Madrid defense with just a small combination. How Bosque will choose, looking at the current state of Real Madrid's players, is very worried about them. ”
"Well done, Blackburn!"
When Miku saw the goal, he clenched his fist and waved it fiercely. Then he jumped up with his chest and touched it fiercely with Deco, who was following him. Then he hugged Deco, and then Klose, Pire, and Duff next to him came over to celebrate.
George even knelt on the ground, his hands clenched, and couldn't help but shout.
Hahaha, we are ahead of Real Madrid again.
You're the best club of the twentieth century, so what? Unfortunately, it's the 21st century.
At this time, the Blackburn fans completely ignored the Real Madrid fans next to them and the existence of Zidane in the stadium.
Continue singing the songs they created for Miku.
“…… We don't want Zidane, we have Miku! Miku ...... Whoa...... We have Miku! ”
Their singing was just too loud. All those present heard it. Although I knew this song before, I still couldn't cry or laugh when I heard Zidane with my own ears.
For Miku, Zidane really didn't take it to heart.
It's not that Zida is arrogant and looks down on Miku. It's because after Zidane became famous, there will be "Zidane's successor" and "Zidane's second" in France every year, anyway, there are too many people with this title.
If Zidane is allowed to pay attention to them one by one, he will not be exhausted.
But why Miku and Zidane have the most contrasts. Except that the style of play of the two is very similar, they are both the kind of classic forward players who are hard to find. More reasons have a lot to do with the careers of the two. The two have a deep relationship.
Zidane left Cannes that year and went to Bordeaux. At the same time, Miku came to Cannes and became the heart of the club's midfield.
A few years later, Zidane left Bordeaux, and the Bordeaux club introduced Zidane to replace him, which was Miku.
The two are like shadows, one in and one out, Miku is a perfect substitute for Zidane.
It was at this time that some people in French football began to say that Miku was "Zidane's second".
It's just that Zidane became popular later. Especially after the baptism of the World Cup in France and the European Championship in the Netherlands and Belgium, Zidane has a tendency to become a new generation of football kings. Miku, on the other hand, just played in Bordeaux in Ligue 1 and later moved to Blackburn, the underdogs of the Premier League. Therefore, Zidane is of course unlikely to have any thoughts about Miku.
I just didn't expect Miku to be able to achieve so much later.
Miku was at Blackburn Rovers and led the team to the UEFA Cup and two Premier League titles. This time, he led the team to the Champions League final and met directly.
If other times there is nothing at all.
But I don't know which bastard media always compares two people together. As a result, it is very embarrassing for two people to meet now. As teammates of the national team, the relationship between the two is even more delicate. Now these Blackburn fans are chanting this kind of song in such an important game.
This makes the two how to meet in the future.
Shook his head.
Zidane was not discouraged, though. Because Zidane knows that there is still half an hour left in the game. Real Madrid still had time to equalise.
