460 Satisfied? Dissatisfied?
Miku's injury made George very angry.
From the very beginning, the game went according to its own ideas. But this kind of emergency is not something that you can control. George shook his head and thought about calling Arshavin.
Without Miku's lubricant in midfield, George opted to open the gap from the wing.
Milan still have a lot of problems on the wing.
Especially on the Pancaro side.
George put Arshavin on the court to use his speed and skill to break through Pancaro.
Because Miku is missing, Piret can only come back. Piret returned from the flank, and Cafu, who had been relatively quiet, began to come alive. And Arshavin, who George had high hopes for, did not perform well after he came on the field.
Pancaro wasn't as weak as George thought he was.
Defensively, the position is excellent. Arshavin tried to break into the box several times, but in the end he couldn't do it. And Arshavin is not the kind of player who is very hardworking.
All of Blackburn's players are hardworking. Even players like Kaka, Miku, and Pire, under George's request, spare no effort when the team needs to defend. And in the front court non-stop interspersed running, ready to pull out the open space.
It's like Miku, when you're in midfield, you run a lot. Link between midfield and frontcourt.
But Arshavin was a little lazy. Yes, it's lazy.
Although not as lazy as Ronaldo who is now at Real Madrid, he is also a relatively lazy player on the Blackburn side.
Waiting for the ball in the front court. Instead of actively running, to create a vacancy.
Therefore, after Pancaro took the position, Arshavin went up to have no effect.
Since Miku went off, Milan's attack has suddenly come up. Although because of the efforts of Alonso, Essien, and Blackburn's backline, they have not been able to break through Blackburn's door. But it created several good opportunities.
George watched from the sidelines with a lot of worry.
But as the saying goes, blessing and misfortune do not go alone.
Before the end of the first half, there was another injury on Blackburn's side. This injury is completely inexplicable.
Miku's injury just now, at least from the fight with Gattuso. Although Gattuso's movements are not big, there is still a collision after all. But this time the injury is simply nonsensical.
Sagnol stopped the ball himself, and then somehow, very inexplicably, kicked the ball outside. Then he sat up and made a substitution gesture to George.
Even the narrator didn't know what was going on with Sagnol.
After watching the slow motion, I realized that when Sagnor stopped the ball, it turned one hundred and eighty degrees. It may be that the support leg is twisted in the middle.
George helplessly spread his hands.
Is there still such an injury? It's so fake, it's really a mouthful of cold water to stuff your teeth.
George could only pray that Sagnol's injury would not be a big deal. But looking at the team doctor's serious face, George sighed in his heart.
"How's it going?"
The team doctor shook his head. "It's an old wound."
"Old wounds?"
George frowned. Sagnol's old injury is the one he suffered from a muscle strain against Manchester United a few years ago, when he was in bed for three months. The recovery from the injury was ideal, but the injury was in the same place every time.
Every season, Sagnol doesn't have any major injuries, but there are occasional minor injuries.
Therefore, when he heard the old injury, George frowned.
"Well, it's the same place. However, this time it looks more serious, and it is likely that the rest of the season will not be played. ”
"Season reimbursement?"
George sighed.
Sagnol is still very young to speak. I'm just 27 years old this year, so I should be at the peak of my athlete's condition. But these two seasons have been obvious, with all kinds of minor injuries on the body. George looked at the bench, and there really wasn't a right-back substitute on the bench.
Sun Jihai: For the most part, George is used in the league.
It rarely comes up in the knockout stages of the Champions League.
So he wasn't on the bench today. George called Parker and put Parker on the field in place of Sagnol.
After Parker came on, George asked Essien to play at right-back and Parker in the middle. Essien, like Hargreaves, is an all-round player in midfield anyway. Two full-backs and even centre-backs can be played.
'The first half was a really tough one for Blackburn. First Miku was injured, then Sagnol was injured. Although it was a 1-0 lead, I believe that if George had to choose, he would have chosen Miku and Sagnol over that one goal. ”
At the end of the first half, Mortensen summed up the first half.
Mortenson was absolutely right. If given the option for George, George would rather trade an away goal for the health of Miku and Sagnol.
I don't know if it was the successive injuries of the players that affected Blackburn's morale.
After the start of the second half, although George had already made the set-up. For Milan, all kinds of targeted plans are arranged. But morale can spread, and in the second half Blackburn played without the sharpness of the first half.
Ancelotti doesn't look old, but he is an old river and an old fox.
At once, he grasped the change in morale on Blackburn's side and began to arrange-for-tat. Milan is a European giant, and their players are all experienced. George, in particular, looked down on the retirement homes in Milan.
But nursing homes have many disadvantages, but there are also many advantages.
The biggest advantage of nursing homes is that they are experienced and experienced.
Be able to see the weaknesses of the other party in the subtle changes. And they don't need to be reminded by the coach, they can judge the situation on the field and make changes.
That's the case in Milan now.
Don't look at Rui Costa and Seedorf in the first half. But there was a little bit of a change on Blackburn's side, and they were able to adjust their mentality and their tactical style of play right away.
Twenty-two minutes into the second half, Milan finally equalised.
It was the performance of Rui Costa, who did not show anything throughout the game.
Rui Costa received a pass from Andrea Pirlo on the right. In the face of Parker, Rui Costa, whose explosiveness and speed have declined, did not break through. Instead, he flicked it with his right foot, and then a diagonal pass into the box.
The ball was sudden.
And the main thing is that Rui Costa's ball landed excellently.
The ball seemed to go straight to Shevchenko. Shevchenko stepped forward and just flicked his head, and the ball went into the middle of the net.
It's too close.
Van der Sar was not able to react at all.
George was unhappy with the goal off the pitch. This time against Milan, George was very prepared. For Milan, George is a must-have. George even wanted to beat Milan away from home and let Milan completely lose all hope of qualifying.
But I didn't expect the unexpected to happen too much.
George looked left and right. Called Klose, and then replaced Arshavin, who had just been replaced in the first half, with Klose.
It's really Arshavin who is too inactive.
George was unhappy with Arshavin's performance.
George wants to use this method in the hope of being able to push the Blackburn players. Hopefully they'll be able to run aggressively.
It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven.
At full 84 minutes, Blackburn conceded another goal.
The ball was an accident.
Seedorf's long-range shot hit Lucio's leg and deflected into the net.
In fact, Seedorf's long-range shot is not very powerful, and the angle is not very tricky. Van der Sar was ready, but the ball hit Lucio's leg. This kind of thing can't be saved even if God comes.
George shook his head.
I guessed the beginning, but I didn't guess the end.
It was a very good start, but in the end it was a loss to Milan.
"1-2, Blackburn was defeated by Milan. The injuries of Miku and Sagnor have greatly affected Blackburn. Otherwise, according to the opening stage of the game, Blackburn has the advantage. So Blackburn didn't need to be discouraged. After all, there are still home games. Add an away goal and Blackburn Rovers still have a good chance of progressing. ”
Mortenson comforts Blackburn.
Mortenson is an England commentator and has a bias towards Blackburn. But Italian reporters came around to laugh at George.
"Coach Levy, you've played Milan three times and lost all three. Do you have anything to say about Milan? ”
George squinted at these gloating Italian journalists.
"Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers."
Giorgio didn't want to entangle with these Italian journalists, so he wanted to get out of place.
But they didn't want to let George go.
"Coach Levy, since winning the Champions League in '02, Milan has been excluded from the semi-finals for two consecutive seasons, what do you think is the problem?"
"You're a football journalist?"
"yes." The Italian journalist replied inexplicably.
George snorted.
"I don't think you have any common sense. Is the quarterfinals over now? I remember that the knockout round of the Champions League was a two-legged system, so it seems that there is still one game left unplayed, right? Could it be that the current Champions League knockout rounds have been reformed and only one game has been played? ”
Hearing George's mocking tone, the Italian reporter was also-for-tat.
'Even with one game left, Blackburn Rovers still can't beat Milan.'
George smiled suddenly.
"It's a shame you're a journalist. You should go to UEFA and run for the presidency. Then you can make Milan Champions League champions every day and you don't have to fight with me here. ”
George shook his head and left the reporters.
When he returned to his bus, George's face immediately darkened.
Speaking of 1-2 away, it's not an unacceptable scoreline. But a good game, which ended like this, made George very dissatisfied.
George is now most worried about Miku and Sagnol's injuries.
Hopefully a good result.
