422 What is control

In the 31st round of the Premier League, Blackburn easily defeated Tottenham 4-0 away.

Blackburn's opponents, Manchester United, stumbled. It was held to a draw at home by a team like Fulham, which is not at all like Manchester United's style. The impact of the falling out between Ferguson and Beckham on Manchester United is definitely not something that can be eliminated in a moment.

Especially now that there are media reports that Real Madrid are chasing Beckham.

Of course, with Beckham's current status in world football, few clubs are qualified to invite him. Real Madrid is definitely the most powerful and most likely club among them.

Since Florentino became president of Real Madrid, as long as he wants the player, there is nothing he can't want. Now Florentino's eyes are on Beckham again. All the media believe that Beckham's next family will definitely be Real Madrid, although Real Madrid president Florentino refuted rumors that he has never planned to bring in Beckham.

But who would believe it?

The "Flying Bootgate" incident has just happened, which has already caused Manchester United Club a headache. Now that the season is not over, there are media that Beckham is going to Real Madrid. It's really adding fuel to the fire.

If other players, including Ruud van Nistelrooy, Veron and Forlan, were to leave Manchester United, although there was some impact, it would not have such an impact. The main thing is that Beckham's status at Manchester United is too high. And he is an important player in the 92 generation, and he has a very good relationship with many players in the country. That's a real hair loss.

As a result, the impact on Manchester United is growing.

Now all of Manchester United's opponents are hoping that things will end. There are even many people who deliberately add fuel to the fire and make things bigger.

But it works well.

United are now eight points behind Blackburn Rovers and have only seven league games remaining. In seven rounds, the lead has reached eight points. Blackburn's media has already begun to build momentum, saying that this season's Premier League champion is none other than Blackburn.

Many people are saying that as long as the 32 rounds of the Premier League are over, maybe this season's Premier League will be over.

Because in the 32nd round of the Premier League, Blackburn Rovers challenged Fulham away. Although Fulham held Manchester United to a draw in the last game, no one thinks Fulham are strong. The ability to draw against Manchester United was entirely due to Manchester United's own poor performance.

In this round, Manchester United challenged Liverpool at home.

Manchester United and Liverpool are old enemies. The contradiction between the two teams is no less than a city derby. Although Liverpool's results this season are very poor, everyone knows that Liverpool is crazy. Against a weak team, the performance was poor.

But against a strong team, Liverpool has never been scared.

Especially against old rivals Manchester United, Liverpool have always performed well. Even when Manchester United dominated the Premier League, Liverpool were not afraid of them when they met Manchester United.

With the current state of Manchester United, it must be a lot of luck to meet Liverpool.

As long as this game is over, the battle for the Premier League title will be over once and for all. This is the unanimous analysis of all reviewers.

Unfortunately, the games are often unexpected.

Blackburn Rovers were held to a 0-0 draw away from a weak Fulham side. And Manchester United, which is not in good shape, actually beat its old rival Liverpool 4-0 at home. Four to zero is a big shame for Liverpool, who has been fighting with Manchester United for many years.

Houllier's position as Liverpool's manager is also shaky.

At the end of the 32nd round of Premier League matches, Blackburn Rovers are still six points ahead of Manchester United.

………… George has been in a good mood lately. In the Premier League, they continue to press Manchester United. Although the last game allowed Manchester United to chase two points. But with six rounds remaining, as long as Blackburn Rovers are on the safe side, the Premier League title is definitely in the bag. George would never spit out the meat in his mouth again.

But at this time, George's eyes returned to the Champions League.

Blackburn came out as group winners. Unfortunately, I ran into Milan from Italy.

In fact, no matter which one is drawn, it is a strong European team. After all, none of the teams that broke through to the second group stage were underdogs. But Milan, George really didn't want to play against them.

However, George is reluctant to face Milan, and Milan is also reluctant to face Blackburn. Regardless, Blackburn Rovers are the reigning Champions League champions. They are currently the top team in the Premier League. Blackburn's strength is there for all to see.

Milan would certainly like to avoid Blackburn Rovers if they could. If Milan finish first in the group, they can avoid Blackburn. Maybe be able to fight Ajax.

It's a pity that Milan themselves are not angry. In the first four games of the group stage, they topped the table with three wins and one draw. If they continue to perform like this, they will certainly be able to avoid Blackburn. However, in the remaining two games, Real Madrid won two games in a row, while Milan drew one and lost one, and finally gave up the top spot.

It was the first time George had played against Milan. It was also the first time he played against Carlo Ancelotti.

Ancelotti, the most famous.

Certainly not now. Ancelotti is very famous now, but compared to George, it is half a catty. George is famous because of his good results, especially two Premier League titles and a Champions League title, which pushed George's fame up.

And Ancelotti is famous, not only because of good results. What's more, Carlo Ancelotti has coached two of Italy's biggest clubs. Now he is the head coach of Milan.

Don't underestimate the big coach. The head coach of the big team is the head coach of other teams and receives more attention.

Therefore, although George is a Champions League champion, in terms of fame, Ancelotti and George are completely comparable.

The current Ancelotti is also a young coach among the coaches, but unfortunately compared to George, he is not young.

This knockout round is the highlight. In addition to Inter Milan, who had the best luck, they drew Ajax. It's the easiest.

The rest of the games are strong conversations.

Real Madrid met Manchester United, Juventus met Barcelona and Blackburn met AC Milan.

"The quarter-finals of the Champions League have begun. This time the opponents are Milan from Italy and Blackburn Rovers from the Premier League. This is the first time in the history of Milan and Blackburn that they have met. ”

"First of all, I would like to introduce to you the starting line-ups of both teams in this game. Milan's starting line-up is goalkeeper Dida, the defenders are Kaladze, Nesta, Maldini, Simic, the midfielders are Seedorf, Gattuso, Pirlo, Rui Costa, and the forwards are Shevchenko and Inzaghi. ”

"Blackburn's starting line-up is goalkeeper Van der Sar, the defenders are Hargreaves, Lucio, Campbell, Sagnol, the midfielders are Pire, Alonso, Essien, Kaka, Miku, and the lone striker Klose in front."

For Milan, George is very serious.

Don't dare to be careless at all. However, George also spotted Milan's weaknesses. The first is the right side of Simmic, who is currently the weakest link in Milan's backline. So George chose Pire, hoping that Pire would tear through this weakly defended line.

The second weakness is that Milan has a problem defending high balls.

Especially Milan's goalkeeper Dida, although he is a world-class goalkeeper. But in the high-altitude ball, there is a clear weakness. And the strikers on Blackburn's side, whether it is Klose or Drogbacco, are good headers.

Playing high balls is also one of Blackburn's excellent plays.

So that's how George dealt with Milan. George found these two weaknesses in Milan and was about to fight to the death.

It's a pity that Blackburn hasn't played his strength yet, but he has already fallen into the rhythm of Milan. George put players with good skills such as Pire, Kaka, Miku and Alonso in the midfield, but after the game started, he couldn't control the ball at his home stadium.

On the contrary, Milan was defeated.

Milan controlled the ball well and controlled the tempo even better. In front of Milan's controlled tempo, Alonso is like a child.

Milan's tempo control was handled by Andrea Pirlo.

Pirlo will soon be twenty-four. For the first time this season, there has been a consistent playing time among the big clubs. is different from those absolute geniuses, Raul, Maldini, and Totti who debuted as the main force in a strong team.

But that doesn't mean Pirlo is less famous.

Who is Pirlo? At the beginning of his debut, he played in the position of the front midfielder, and he was considered by Italian football to be the "successor of Baggio". Before the age of twenty, he was already famous in Italian football. Bought by Inter.

However, at that time, Inter Milan was a famous "star black hole", and some of the team were superstars. Therefore, Pirlo was unable to get any chances at Inter and could only keep on loan. In the process, Pirlo's fame did not diminish at all, but only grew.

It was acquired by Milan for $12 million last season.

But now Milan has four tens. Seedorf, Rui Costa, Rivaldo, Pirlo. What to do?

Carlo Ancelotti was so powerful that he even thought of transforming Pirlo as a playmaker. This is a very bold change, turning one of the best young strikers in Italian football into an alternative midfielder.

But the transformation was successful.

Andrea Pirlo became a midfielder and began to be a midfield commander.

Now Milan have Pirlo in control of the tempo, while Blackburn Rovers have Alonso on their side. Alonso has been in excellent form this season, and at just 20 years old, Alonso has been able to adapt to the pace of the Premier League so quickly. And he became the midfield commander of a strong team like Blackburn.

But compared to Pirlo, it is much more tender.

A commander needs to know how to be fast and slow. Know when to be fast and when to be slow. Alonso needs to continue to gain experience in this regard. But Pirlo is different.

Andrea Pirlo was reinvented from the front to the back. Therefore, the sharpness of the game and the control of the rhythm are not comparable to the current Alonso. So as soon as the game started, the rhythm of the game quickly fell into the hands of Milan.

Many of George's ideas are completely unrealizable.

This made George on the sidelines frown deeply.
