"At the start of the season, all analysts agreed that this season's Premier League title had nothing to do with Blackburn. Even player critics believe Blackburn will collapse this season. Because Blackburn had a poor start to the season. ”

But at the end of half a season, Blackburn Rovers unexpectedly became the top team in the Premier League. Now Blackburn Rovers and Manchester United have a head-to-head match. In their first league game of the season, Blackburn used their defence to hold Manchester United to a hard-fought draw at home. ”

After that game, Ruud van Nistelrooy even lashed out at Blackburn. To say that Blackburn is not about a game at all, it is completely ruining the game. ”

"Blackburn Rovers were poor at the time, but Manchester United were very impressive. But now Blackburn is on a seven-game winning streak and is in perfect form. Manchester United, on the other hand, will not give up at home. The game is a real strong conversation. ”

Mortensen explains the powerful conversation.

Old Trafford, the most famous course in Europe. And it's the hottest stadium in Europe.

Today's Old Trafford stadium is full again, or the average attendance of Manchester United stadium in a season must be 99.9....... Even before the game began, Manchester United fans began to support the team with their singing.

Manchester United fans in recent seasons have also been more aggrieved.

Manchester United, the Premier League hegemon, have been firmly suppressed by Blackburn Rovers in recent seasons, which makes them really unhappy.

When Manchester United wanted to establish supremacy in the Premier League, Blackburn, an upstart, came out of nouveau riche and robbed a Premier League title. Unexpectedly, a few years later, Blackburn, the nouveau riche returned.

He also snatched two consecutive Premier League titles.

So when the Blackburn players came out, there was a lot of boos. It wasn't until George came out that the boos reached **.

Although George has criticized many teams, he is still merciful to Manchester United. But Manchester United fans are still very disgusted with George.

George didn't care, though.

George has never cared about the boos of the away fans. The average person wants the boos of the away team fans and there is no such treatment.

In this game, George did not play Kaka, but used a combination of Pire, Miku, and Duff. And at the top of the front is Drogba.

The two midfielders were Marcos Alonso and Essien, with Hargreaves being sent off the left by George.

Every time he played Manchester United, George couldn't help but use Drogba. Because Didier Drogba doesn't score many goals, but every time he plays Manchester United, he has some genius. Didier Drogba seems to be Manchester United's nemesis, as long as he plays Manchester United, he can often perform well.

Of course, if it were only for that, George certainly wouldn't have sent Drogba. George wasn't superstitious about these things.

George appreciates Drogba's impact more. The current Drogba is still very good in other aspects except for shooting a little blindly. Of course, a striker who doesn't score many goals is a failure. But George didn't care, Blackburn had players who could score. And the current style of play also needs a bridgehead like Drogba.

Once the game started, Manchester United's side had the upper hand.

Manchester United are now also playing five midfield single strikers, and the single striker is undoubtedly the "king of the small box" Ruud van Nistelrooy. And the five midfielders are David Beckham, Ryan Giggs, Keane, Philip. Neville and Scholes.

Scholes was right behind Vanney.

Manchester United's attack is more on the two flanks. David Beckham's cross and Ryan Giggs' breakaway, as for the attack in the middle, it was for both wings. In the past, Blackburn's style of play also attached great importance to the wing, but now Blackburn Rovers play less on the wing than before.

Now Blackburn's style of play is getting simpler and simpler.

Especially after handing over the offensive power to Alonso in the back, Blackburn's style of play is not as cumbersome and delicate as before, but is wide open and close. Go straight to the striker in front of you, or counter-attack with a long pass.

Blackburn is completely different from what it used to be.

But even so, Ferguson didn't dare to ignore Blackburn. When George was at Burnley, those players were completely inferior to the current Blackburn players, but they still beat Chelsea and Arsenal to win the title.

The current Blackburn players are n times stronger than the Burnley players at the time.

You only have to look at the value between the two teams to understand it.

At Burnley, George had no bigger transfer than £3 million. But look at the transfer price of Blackburn's players right now.

Lucio and Alonso are both players with more than 10 million euros. There is also Campbell, a free transfer, but the signing fee alone gave people nearly 10 million pounds. This group of players is far more powerful than Burnley, so it is not worrying to play a defensive counterattack.

Ferguson hated George.

With such a strong squad as Blackburn, and still playing this kind of defensive counter-attack, you still don't let other clubs live. Especially a team as evenly matched as Manchester United.

Blackburn Rovers can't play defensive counter-attacks, Manchester United can also play defensive counter-attacks. That's not Manchester United's style.

But George was steady.

Manchester United is actually not in very good form at the moment. Or Manchester United has been in poor shape in recent years, which is why some people say whether Ferguson is old, such a question. There are a lot of problems with Manchester United's declining results in recent seasons.

But in George's view, the biggest problem with United's declining results is their instability at the back.

Since Schmeichel's retirement and Stam's sale to Manchester United, the Reds backline has not been able to fully replace their players. So Manchester United have conceded more goals than other strong teams. Just like last season, Blackburn Rovers and Arsenal only conceded about 30 goals. But United have conceded forty-eight.

Although they have added Rio Ferdinand this season, the Reds have remained shaky at the back.

With 28 minutes played, Scholes' pass was tackled by Campbell. Then it was handed to Alonso in front, and after Alonso got the ball, he quickly handed it to Pire, who was in front.

Gary. Neville was familiar with Pire.

The two of them have fought many times, and they can be regarded as knowing the roots. Therefore, Neville did not rush to the game, and Pire's skills are definitely the best in the Premier League. So Neville retreated from the edge and didn't give Pire an easy chance to break through.

But Pire is not easy to defend.

It wasn't until he got to the opponent's big penalty area that Pire's suddenly cut inside. Fortunately, Neville had already prepared for Pire's inside cut, so he hurried out to cut the ball off. However, Pire's speed was faster and he was already the first to touch the ball, so Neville's foot hooked Pire.

"Toot-"

The referee's whistle blew.

That's not bad at the angle. It's not far from the location of the gate, and it also has an angle. It was a very good angle for both Pire and Alonso. Even for Miku it's a good position, their free-kick skills are good.

Barthez directs the players to line up the wall.

Barthez's entire spirit was actually placed on Pire's body. Because of the three Blackburn free-kicks, Pire's free-kick was the best. As a team-mate of the French national team, Barthez is quite familiar with Pire.

So for the rest of the players, Barthez has no focus. Keep an eye on Pire.

In fact, at this time, there are three players in front of the ball. Didier Drogba up front, Pire in the middle, and Alonso had the furthest run. But Barthez has already ignored Drogba and Alonso.

Drogba, not in Barthez's eyes.

As for Alonso, he will often take free-kicks. Unfortunately, Alonso's free-kicks are usually from long range. For free-kicks like the current one, Blackburn Rovers are usually Pire's penalty.

Except for Pire, it's Miku.

So Barthez believes that the ball is definitely Pire's penalty. As for Drogba and Alonso, they are covering.

So when Drogba stepped forward to run, Barthez didn't care. Not only Barthez, but even Manchester United's wall thinks so.

But Drogba stepped forward not to cover, but to use the inside of his foot to pull it up with a half-push and half-pumping foot. Very unexpected, really unexpected.

“…… Didier Drogba, Run...... Shot, Drogba didn't feint, but really shot! ”

Mortenson was quite surprised.

Because Drogba has a lot of playing time now. Although it is not as good as Klose, it is already a very important pawn in George's hands. Otherwise, it would not have been possible to start such an important game. But in so many games, they have never seen Didier Drogba take a free-kick.

So no one believed that Drogba would shoot this ball.

But Drogba had a shot on goal.

Kick the ball with the inside of the foot, float left and right in the air with a perfect arc. When I reached the apex of the sky, I suddenly fell. This goal caught Barthez off guard.

Not only did I not expect Drogba to shoot, but I didn't expect Drogba's free-kick to be so weird.

Barthez tried to make the save, but couldn't save the ball.

“gooooooooal！！！！！！！！” Mortenson shouted. "Drogba, it's a free-kick! It's so wonderful, it's the standard deciduous ball. ”

"Drogba, who has always been the representative of Brother Brown, still has such skills. This free-kick is so beautiful, who would have thought that Drogba would have such a ability. 1-0, although Drogba does not score many goals, he can score frequently at Old Trafford. ”

'Didier Drogba, now it's getting more and more mature. Is George going to raise a second Klose? It took four seasons for Klose to break out. If this season has passed, then Drogba has also been in the hands of George for four seasons. ”

Mortensen was amazed.

Drogba's free-kick was a defoliated goal, a real defoliated ball.

Drogba was excited to see the goal. Old Trafford is like Drogba's blessed land, and every time he comes here, Drogba is able to score goals.

And George also raised his hands on the sidelines in celebration.

Warcraft, Warcraft. Didier Drogba gradually began to use his demonic strength. Free kicks are also one of Drogba's stunts.
