468 Unequal conversations
"Miku, Costinha has come over to defend Miku...... Miku, he passed, it was to Drogba. ”
'Didier Drogba stopped the ball and he stopped it on his right side...... Drogba turns around and shoots! ”
Drogba's movements are dashing. The moment he received the ball, he stopped the ball on his left side. Then he quickly turned one hundred and eighty degrees, and his right foot was directly a volley.
Drogba's turn shot was too fast.
Carvalho, who was defending Drogba from behind, didn't expect it at all.
Or Baia, who reacted quickly. A save was made immediately. It's a pity that Drogba's shot was quite fast, so fast that Baia just reacted, and the ball was already in the net.
"Drogba, Drogba! Baia had already made a move, but he couldn't stop the ball from entering the net. ”
"Drogba is getting more and more comprehensive now. Porto's defender Carvalho was completely shaken by Drogba. This turn and shoot is so exciting. ”
'1-0, Blackburn 1-0 ahead of Porto.
George jumped high on the sidelines.
So excited. Throughout the first half, Blackburn laid siege to Porto for forty-five minutes without any results. In fact, the chances just now, although because of the long-range shots, some opened up Porto's defense.
But it's not an absolute opportunity.
Being able to score goals is all about Drogba's individual strength.
A striker, this is a 180-degree turn, a volley, is definitely a manifestation of strength. And Drogba's shot is completely violent. Strength, the embodiment of complete power.
It's so fast that it's impossible to defend at all.
This is especially true of Baia.
As the golden goalkeeper of Portugal's golden generation, Baia is the pride of Portuguese football along with Figo and Rui Costa. Thirty-four-year-old Baia is a very important veteran in Porto. The play is also quite good.
It's a pity that the current Baia is old.
Although he has a lot of experience, he can't be explosive. If it had been when he was younger, he might have been able to save Drogba's shot just now. It's a pity that I'm a little old now, and even if I think about it, my body can't react immediately.
Baia looked at the ball in the middle of the goal and kicked it hard.
After Drogba scored, he opened his arms and started running. All the way to the Blackburn fans, waving their arms to their heart's content. At this time, the Blackburn players in the back also came to celebrate together.
Not to mention Blackburn Rovers fans.
They shouted Drogba's name.
On this trip to Portugal, Blackburn Rovers did not have many fans with the team. But there are also almost three thousand people.
The Dragon Stadium is one of the more famous courses in Europe. With a capacity of more than 50,000 people, it is much more luxurious than Blackburn's Ewood Park. It was just successfully expanded in 03. But in front of 50,000 Porto fans, Blackburn Rovers fans don't feel less at all.
They are not at all afraid of the 50,000 Porto fans.
"Now Blackburn is so good to play. With a goal ahead, it shouldn't be Blackburn Rovers who are anxious now, but Porto. If Porto are down 0-1 at home, it will be much more difficult to play on the road. ”
'What will the young Mourinho coach choose? Very curious. ”
Martin. Taylor laughed. For Blackburn Rovers to lead, Martin. Taylor, of course, was very pleased.
"But I've heard that Coach Mourinho is a crazy coach. There have been times when there were four strikers in the Portuguese league. Don't know what to do now? ”
How will Mourinho choose?
This is something that even George is curious about.
Jose Mourinho? Later, after Mourinho became famous, he had amazing strokes in Chelsea, Inter Milan, and Real Madrid. Especially after falling behind, there are often some genius strokes. And the substitutions are also very crazy.
Substitutions are also known as magical.
So George also wanted to take a look at it, and had some expectations.
But Mourinho has not made any substitutions. It's just that Porto's attack has been a lot more aggressive.
This made George a little confused.
Could Mourinho be happy with the current 0-1 result? Impossible.
With Mourinho's pride, how could he accept a 0-1 defeat at home.
But no matter what, George chose not to change. Blackburn Rovers laid siege to Porto and the team quickly retreated. Now it's Blackburn who aren't in a hurry, it's Porto who are in a hurry.
However, Porto's attack has been tepid, and George is not very clear about Mourinho's intentions.
The game went on until the 77th minute when Mourinho finally made a move.
He replaced Mendes with Delle. Porto's attack became 4-3-3, with three strikers Delle, McCarthy, Carlos. Alberto. The midfield trio is Kostina, Alenichev, Maniche.
George knew Mourinho was finally going to fight hard.
But at the same time, George suddenly realized. Mourinho has never made a move, not because he doesn't want to, but because he simply doesn't have a pawn to shoot. Because Porto's bench is too weak.
Unlike George, who was in a bad situation in the first half, he immediately played Miku's trump card in the second half.
Because George has good players on his hands.
And now Porto, there are too few players for Mourinho to choose from. There aren't a few players who can get on the pitch and change the game.
Thinking of this, George couldn't help but laugh.
Jose Mourinho, Jose Mourinho. What if you have the ability to reach the heavens? Without enough resources, what else can you conjure? You're not really God!
When Mourinho became a striker, George immediately replaced Ribery with Klose.
Ribery's biggest contribution in the second half was to intersperse a lot of running. Ribery's physical strength is definitely worth it for an attacking player. He was so good at running, it was like he wasn't tired at all. The most active one up front was Ribery.
Now that Ribery's mission is complete, George puts Klose on the pitch.
Looking at Klose, George looked at Mourinho next to him with a smile.
Hey! Look, the brothers put the top scorers of the World Cup all on the bench. Now there are about ten minutes left in the game before he is played. What's the matter, envy?
Actually, George really thought it right.
Mourinho is indeed very envious of George. Not only is Klose only playing now, but even on George's bench, there are Hargreaves who have returned from injury, Hleb, Arshavin, and Blackburn's best substitute Defoe is also there.
Which of these players arrived at Mourinho's Porto, they were all the main players.
But at Blackburn, they can only wait for a chance to play. That's the gap.
By the time Klose and Drogba teamed up, Blackburn's attack was even more powerful. Of course, this has to do with Porto's intensification of the attack. There is no team in the world that can perfectly balance both offense and defense.
If you step up your offense, then there will definitely be some holes in the defense.
For Miku and Pire, there's more room to pass the ball.
As long as Porto's attack was interrupted, Blackburn's counter-attack was very fast. Although there is less counterattack good Kaka, and there is a fast Ribery, but with Miku and Pire, they can counterattack like Pire. Miku's pass was resolute.
Once it is passed, then Klose and Drogba's individual strength can be brought into play.
Carvalho is a man-to-man centre-back with good positioning and strong tackles. And the other defender, Jorge. Costa is the centre-back. He is also a member of Portugal's Golden Generation, but unfortunately he is now older. Experienced, but the speed of turning and chasing back are already too slow.
Blackburn's side, whether it is Klose or Drogba, are extremely explosive strikers. Once let them pass, then Jorge. There's simply no way Costa can catch up with them.
That's the way it is.
Eighty-six minutes into the game, Alenichev broke through from the right and then a cross. Pushed out by Lucio. When Alonso got the ball, he didn't hand it to Miku as before, but with a long pass.
'Alonso, pass...... Drogba, overhead, Klose got the ball! ”
In the face of Alonso's pass, Drogba was in front of Carvalho, and with a swing of his head, he passed the ball to the back.
At this time, facing the ball, Costa and Klose started at the same time. Speaking of which, Costa's position is better, but after running, I found that Costa's explosiveness and speed are really not good.
Klose is like a small missile. The explosiveness was very strong, and it flashed in front of Costa in one fell swoop.
"Klose, he overtook Costa. Costa is old and his explosiveness is not good. Klose, facing Baia, shoot! ”
Klose's top scorer in the World Cup and the Premier League was not obtained by chance. Those accolades are due to Klose's superb shooting skills to become a world-class striker. Therefore, after getting the ball, Klose's action with the ball is very simple.
Once you get the ball, it's a shot.
The moment Baia saw Klose, he had already blocked most of Klose's shots. But Klose still made a gentle push and fired the ball into the middle of the net.
The ball is simply too simple.
From the pass to Drogba's header to Klose's shot. It's just a few feet to pass. There are a lot of such goals in the Premier League, and Blackburn Rovers deserves to be a Premier League team.
"Two to zero, two to zero. Klose scored a goal in less than ten minutes after he came on the pitch. ”
"A dark horse is a dark horse after all. Porto's dark horse campaign is coming to an end, with Blackburn leading 2-0 at Porto. George is going to be in the Champions League final for the second time. ”
Martin. Taylor has already announced that Blackburn have reached the Champions League final.
But this one is definitely not Martin. Taylor was casual. Because this is a completely asymmetrical war, a completely unequal dialogue.
Compared to Blackburn, Porto is too weak.
Mourinho is amazing, but he is not a god and cannot really turn a stone into gold. Being able to lead Porto to the semi-finals of the Champions League is already a testament to Mourinho's magical ability. If you want to go further, it is not by Mourinho's strength, but by God's luck.
