Camoranesi, cross...... Klose, oops, the top is off. ”

"Duff, shake past Grant and pass to the middle...... Sherwood, shot. Caught by Jaskelainen. ”

The game has just started and neither side has reservations. You come to me to fight, it's not lively. Daniel's injury was just a small episode.

This time Blackburn and Burnley were both very clear in attack, which was to attack the opponent's wing. Blackburn have Stuart Ripley on the right and Damien Duff on the left, both of whom are good at attacking.

With the rise of Duff, Blackburn's wide strength has increased a lot.

This season, Hodgson's style of play is to attack from the wing, but it has not matured. This is very similar to Burnley's style of play, which is now heavily reliant on wide attacks.

Ljungberg and Camoranesi are both good at assault. In League One, Burnley's wide attacks are very distinctive. Ljungberg on the left often cut inside and Camoranesi made the most of his crosses. And at George's request, the two would switch positions from time to time. Both of them are good wingers who can lead and rush, pass and shoot, and they spare no effort even when defending.

Coupled with Ballack's excellent playmaking in the middle, Burnley's wide attacks have always been invincible.

A team's offense can never rely on only one part. The combination of the side and the middle is the best way, and only the side attack without the cooperation of the middle is the rootless duckweed. With only an attack in the middle, without the support of the wings, it is difficult to tear apart the opposition's dense defense. Only with a wide attack can you tear apart the opponent's defense. And with the support of the middle, the wing can really play well.

George specifically replaced Robbie Keane for this game, and Matthew Holland was brought on to contain Sherwood in the middle of Blackburn. As long as Sherwood is guarded and there is no Sherwood pass, then only Ripley and Duff will not be able to find a good breakthrough opportunity.

So George asked Grant to replace Finnan just to defend Duff.

It's a pity that George looks up on mental power and underestimates Duff.

Until more than 20 minutes into the first half, neither side was able to score. In fact, both sides had good chances, but the forward line failed to take advantage of them.

"The game has been going on for 23 minutes and the score is still 0-0. But I believe that such a score will definitely not last, and the two sides are completely open. Looking at Blackburn's attack today, if Blackburn had the kind of attacking ability in every game, they wouldn't be in the Premier League's relegation zone. ”

"yes, it went by so fast. It's been more than 20 minutes so quickly, and apart from the lack of a goal, the game has been perfect so far. ”

"Alain, I don't think either Hodgson or George want to lose in this game."

It was at this time that Duff, who was very active at the beginning, got the ball. Duff just took a touch of the ball and passed Grant. Grant is not a speedy full-back, and George chose him this time mainly in the hope of using his mental strength and rich experience to be able to defend against Duff.

It's a pity that he has been forced by Duff many times, and Grant is indeed old. In the face of Duff's unreasonable speed, he simply can't keep up with the rhythm.

After Duff passed Grant, Mitchell came over to help defend. Already in the box, Mitchell pays a lot of attention to defensive movements. But Duff's movements were so fast that he looked like he was going to wipe them in, but he actually shook Mitchell.

Speaking of which, Mitchell has a lot of experience and is rarely shaken like this. But the main thing is that Duff's feet are too fast, and he is shaken over at once. Duff flicked his left foot and flicked his right calf to shoot!

Jaskelainen was blocked by Mitchell and didn't make a quick move until the ball was coming at a fast pace. Unfortunately, it was too late, and the ball rolled into the goal at a rapid pace.

“gooooooooooooooooooal！！！ Damien Duff, a genius blow! It's all Duff's personal performance, cheers! Damien Duff, our hero! When Duff's ball went in, the on-site commentator chanted Duff's name.

Duff was also very happy to be able to score the Burnley goal, which means a lot. Duff ran all the way up to Hodgson and hugged Hodgson.

'Blackburn Rovers scored first, it was Damien Duff. Blackburn Rovers scored first, and the balance of victory has tipped in Blackburn's favor. It's up to George to adjust. ”

"Duff is indeed a very good full-back in the Premier League in recent years. Just now almost single-handedly, beating Burnley's proud backline. ”

"It was a failure for George to send Grant, and the current Grant is no longer the Grant of the past. I'm getting older, and I can't keep up with Burnley's rhythm at all. ”

When Hodgson saw the goal, he simply clenched his fist. There was nothing too exciting, and although Hodgson hated George very much, it was a natural thing for Hodgson to win Burnley.

Although Blackburn Rovers has declined, it is also the foundation of the Premier League championship.

However, the reaction of the Blackburn fans was very violent, and Ewood Park erupted in cheers at the moment of Duff's goal. The last time we lost at home to Burnley, Blackburn fans breathed a sigh of relief. What's more, at that time, George not only provoked the fans, but also teased Blackburn after the game. These old accounts have not been forgotten by Blackburn fans.

And in the Premier League, Blackburn's results are very poor, but Blackburn Rovers fans have not been able to cheer to their heart's content.

Leading Burnley at home this time gave them a place to get out of their breath. Of course they cheered and laughed at George. These fans were very talented and made up all sorts of lyrics to satirize Burnley and George.

George didn't have time to pay attention to them, though, and just frowned and watched the situation on the field.

"Steve, go warm up."

Although Duff is very powerful, as long as this ball is defended well, he should not be allowed to enter the penalty area so easily. Grant's defense was problematic against Duff.

George also regretted very much why he let Grant start. Knowing Grant's appearance has completely become a weakness for Burnley.
