462 Breakthrough Breakthrough Breakthrough
"Look, it's out, it's out."
"Sun Jihai is not the first Asian player to play in the quarter-finals."
"No, no, no. Ardei, who won the Champions League at Bayern. ”
"Cut, Aldeyi was an absolute substitute at the time. Have you ever started in the Champions League? It seems that in the group stage, I just came on as a substitute. ”
Among the reporters who followed the game, there was a group of people who stood out. They were all black-haired, yellow-skinned, journalists from China. And the number of people in the group of journalists is definitely not a small number.
Because of Sagnol's injury, George did not let Essien come over to replace him. Instead, Sun Jihai was enabled to play the position of the main force of the right back. This move can be said to have made fans all over China ecstatic, and Chinese football reporters have come to Blackburn in batches.
Asian players, and the Champions League are almost insulated.
By far the most successful Asian player, and the most famous player in Europe is South Korea's Cha Bem-geun. Although Hidetoshi Nakata is very valuable, it is a pity that he has no honor to take the shot. And a lot of his worth is sponsored by this company.
But Che Fan Gen is different. That's a real result.
When he was twenty-seven years old, he came to the Bundesliga. It was a huge success here, and even became the most valuable player in the Bundesliga in the 85-86 season. But even if it is Che Fangen, he has not left any footsteps in the Champions League.
Che won the UEFA Cup at Eintracht Frankfurt and Bayer Leverkusen respectively and won the UEFA Cup as a main striker.
Therefore, now Sun Jihai is starting in the quarterfinals of the Champions League, which not only rewrites the history of Chinese players in the Champions League, but also rewrites the history of Asian players in the Champions League.
Ali Dayi and Sun Jihai have both won the Champions League with the team. It's a pity that they all play soy sauce in it.
But this time it was the real starters. Started in the quarter-finals, such an important match.
Therefore, among the reporters who came to the scene today, Chinese reporters accounted for a very heavy proportion.
They are all looking forward to Sun Jihai's outstanding performance.
Again, fans all over China are watching this match. Don't look at the fact that Milan has a lot of fans in China, but at this time, even some pseudo-fans are paying attention to this game. Of course, the team they are backing is Blackburn.
............ "Dut-"
With the referee's whistle, the second match of the quarterfinals began.
"In the first game, Blackburn Rovers lost 2-1 on the road. However, thanks to an away goal, Blackburn only needed a 1-0 win to win the knockout round. ”
The race is on.
Although there was a pre-match set-up, after seeing Blackburn's starting line-up, Ancelotti quickly adjusted the team's attacking direction. It's clear that Blackburn's right side is a huge void in Ancelotti's eyes.
Sagnol was injured and replaced by Sun Jihai.
And the right midfielder is a young player again.
Blackburn's right flank is a complete change of combination. So in Ancelotti's opinion, the right side should be Blackburn's weakness.
The referee's whistle made Ribery nervous again.
As he ran, Ribery visibly felt a little heavy in his legs. Ribery felt very thirsty and kept swallowing.
Even a pass that was not too difficult, Ribery did not stop it. It was easy for Pancaro to break the ball at his feet. Then he looked at Berry with contempt, and didn't understand why Blackburn would send a player like Ribery.
'Ribery seems to be very nervous as a young player. This kind of stoppage error should not occur among professional players. George's adventure could well ruin a young player. ”
Morteson shook his head.
To be honest, Mortenson didn't understand why George had Ribery start.
Blackburn has a lot of good players. Even Hleb and Arshavin are more suitable than Ribery in Mortenson's opinion.
George saw that Ribery was nervous, so he stepped forward and grabbed Ribery.
"Frank, do you think Blackburn's stage is too big?" Seeing that Ribery didn't understand, George suddenly raised his voice. "I think the French third division is the best for you. Do you still want to go back to France and play in the third division? ”
At this point, George's tone was a little unpleasant.
"Frank, I'm telling you. I've got players in my hands and I don't have time to wait for you to grow one by one. You go up now and tell me that you are qualified to play at Blackburn. Otherwise, you will go back to France. ”
With that, George returned to his seat without looking back.
Ribery, George had high expectations. And not just because of Ribery's achievements in history. Rather, it is because of Ribery's diligence.
It may be that the difficult environment since childhood has given Ribery an upward heart. He's working hard and working hard when he's training. This point is George favorites. A player can't succeed just because he's talented.
Without matching effort, their talent goes to waste.
So George likes this kind of hard-working player.
Ribery looked at George's back in a daze, with unspeakable anger in his heart. There is also a fear of life in France. When he was in the French third division, Ribery had a hard life.
In Blackburn, although the salary is now very low, only two thousand pounds. It is the lowest wage in Blackburn's first team.
But compared to when it was in France, it was already a heavenly treatment.
Ribery would never be allowed to return to France.
He's going to succeed here. He wants to make more money and no longer worry about money.
Ribery let out a long sigh of relief and let himself relax as much as he could.
It's impossible not to be nervous at all, but Ribery is already a lot better. When receiving the ball, it is no longer the kind of inexplicable low-level mistakes.
With Ribery normal, Ancelotti found out.
Blackburn's right was not as weak as he thought. The combination of Sun Jihai and Ribery is impressive on this side, both in defense and offense. And looking at the cooperation of the two people, it doesn't look like a new combination at all.
What Ancelotti didn't know was that Ribery had been playing on the bench since he returned to Blackburn.
Therefore, as substitute right-backs, Sun Jihai and Ribery have actually cooperated many times on the right side. When training, the two of them often get together. Therefore, the tacit understanding between the two is full. Because they weren't first-time partners at all.
Nearly ten minutes into the game, Blackburn was not in a hurry. Or attack unhurriedly.
George wasn't going to let Blackburn go on a rampage.
The time period of the onslaught, George was arranged. But not after the game just started.
Ten minutes or so was enough for Ribery to fully adapt to the game.
Alonso had been passing the ball to Pire, and when he saw that Ribery's side was sloppy defensively, he handed the ball to Ribery.
This time Ribery easily stopped the ball at his feet. Then dribble forward, not very fast, just very cautious.
Pancaro saw Ribery coming, and he was not careless at all.
Pancarlo has average talent. To be able to get to this position is to be down-to-earth. Therefore, even if Ribery is a nobody, he has an inexplicable mistake in stopping the ball after the start of the game, and he is very contemptuous. But Pancaro still doesn't ignore Ribery.
That's what makes Pancaro special.
But sometimes it's okay if you don't pay attention to it.
Ribery looked at Pancaro, who was staring at him, and walked slowly forward. Suddenly, an incision, highly focused Pancaro reacted at once. He tried to cut off Ribery's incision route, but as soon as he moved, Ribery's body returned.
Then he took the ball with his right foot and sped past Pancarlo.
This action is also in the blink of an eye.
Ribery had already made a comfortable break through Pancaro and then a cross.
Klose was fighting with Nesta for a header, and in the end, Klose's header was deflected wide by Nesta's interference. But Ribery's brilliant breakthrough was met with applause.
"Ribery, Ribery. The breakthrough just now is so wonderful. It's so beautiful. ”
Mortensen also praised Ribery.
But Ribery didn't end up with this breakthrough. After one breakthrough, Ribery was completely confident. Once you have the ball, you will single out Pancaro.
As said, Pancaro is a very down-to-earth player. But talent was limited, and he was embarrassed to face Ribery's breakthrough. Ribery has an absolute advantage over Pancarlo, speed, technique, and explosiveness, no matter what it looks like.
So the breakthrough success again and again almost reached the left side of Milan to the sieve.
Although there were still some problems with the handling of the last kick, so I couldn't break the goal. But for Milan's goal, there is still a huge threat.
Ribery's performance surprised Carlo Ancelotti.
How did such a brilliant player stay in Blackburn's youth team for two years?
Ancelotti, of course, didn't know. Franck Ribery has been adapting to English football for the past two years, particularly during his three-month loan spell in League One. That's why he was re-called back by George.
"Ribery, Ribery again! He shook Pancaro and the ball was low. Maldini cleared, and if it weren't for Maldini, the ball would have been grabbed by Klose. ”
"Ribery, pass...... Sun Jihai, cross! Nesta pushed out. ”
All of a sudden, Milan's left flank was in the air.
Even Seedorf had to come back to help.
That's the case with talented players. When you're nervous, you can't even stop the ball. But once you get it, then you don't have to worry about any player at all. Ribery had no fear of Seedorf and Pancarlo's flanking attack.
Dare to control the ball, dare to dribble. More importantly, to be able to break through.
Ribery now has only one thought in his head. That's breakout, breakout, breakout.
George saw Ribery's appearance and applauded softly. That's it. After the recall of Ribery, George has not been used, and Ribery is not dissatisfied with his strength. It's because at the end of the season, it's all big games.
George actually wanted to put him on the bench in an important game. And then catch someone off guard.
It's just that I didn't expect that Miku's injury made George use Ribery in advance.
Ribery's side was lively, and Pire's side was quieter. But quiet doesn't mean there isn't a killer, and Alonso has been waiting, waiting for an opportunity to create an absolute kill.
