192 with Leeds United (B)

Leeds United's attack was succinct, but it was more effective in rainy weather.

Take advantage of two wide crosses and find Hasselbaink. Hasselbaink controls the first point and, if he can't control it, gets to the middle to give Smith and Bowyer, who is cut in behind, to score.

According to Leeds United's original style of play, it was Bowyer in the midfield who threaded the needle. Then near the penalty area, it was Smith's superior possession and passing to create chances. Hasselbaink, on the other hand, is a powerful centre-forward and a prolific striker. There are always a lot of goals.

The strength of the two wings is also good, of course, Colwill on the left side is the most outstanding. Whether it's speed, technique, or even crosses and shots, they all have their own distinct style.

And George was also tough at all, and in this game, he did not control the ball in midfield as before. Instead, it quickly reversed the ball and handed it to the two wings. This time, George put Bellamy on the right and Duff on the left. Both men are speedy players, with George aiming for Leeds United, with neither wide player being fast.

In the middle, George removed Miku and instead used a trio of Deco, Hargreaves, and Makelele.

Claude Makelele was in a defensive position, Hargreaves swept in midfield and Deco was the commander of the midfield. The task that George gave Deco was very simple. It's not about letting him control the ball, it's about making the right use of the opportunity to pass to the two wings.

Miku is a little tired because he has played a lot. So George told him to take a break. Moreover, the rainy weather also had some impact on Miku's performance.

George's line-up today was a big surprise for O'Reilly, not only Bellamy, but also Miku not in the starting lineup. All hit O'Reilly by surprise.

Because of the importance of this game, O'Reilly has always believed that George will definitely send all the main players. The team was also practiced according to Blackburn's main team, but George's starting lineup was unexpected.

"George's starting line-up, it looks like it surprised O'Reilly." After watching the game for nearly ten minutes, Martin. Taylor shook his head.

"Don't say O'Reilly, even I didn't think George would be so bold. Miku, the heart of Blackburn's attack, is now on the bench. You look at Leeds United's defense, David. Barty is there to defend Miku. Otherwise, Barty hasn't played a few times since he came to Leeds United, so how can he play today. ”

Andy. Gray looked at David. Barty smiled in an awkward position. David. Barty did come on to defend Miku, but Miku didn't play. Deco's technical style is completely different from Miku's, and he is positioned further back, using mid-length passes to control the rhythm of the game.

David. Barty can't rush up to defend Deco, so there will be a gap between the middle and the backline. But it's useless to stay in the back all the time.

"Look at Bellamy, how good this lad is. Hart really had a good game. Bellamy didn't fight Hart at all, and he used his speed to get through. ”

Faced with an unexpected Blackburn starting line-up, Leeds United did not make timely adjustments, or O'Reilly did not have time to adjust at the beginning of the game. There is no adjustment, just using the original method to deal with the current Blackburn, how can it not be a problem?

Duff ran to the left, and Hart on the right defended Duff's series of preparations, and it was useless to face Bellamy.

Especially for a player like Bellamy, who has a perverted speed, Hart's defense is full of holes. The most uncomfortable thing now is Barty in the midfield, who wants to support the wings and is afraid of defending in the middle.

'Deco played the ball down the left and Duff got it...... Duff follow-up, beautiful breakthrough, now Duff is getting more and more general-like! Duff burst in, and he passed to the middle...... Deco didn't stop the ball and went straight to the right, which went straight through the Leeds United defence. Bellamy takes the ball...... Wow, that's just too fast. Hart simply can't keep up with Bellamy's speed! ”

"Bellamy has already entered, and the front is flat, what will he choose?"

Bellamy is not a full-back. So when you catch the ball past Hart, it's not along the sideline. Instead, like a winger, he cut straight in. All this took the Leeds United defence by surprise, despite knowing that Bellamy was fast. But Bellamy, who is fast, is no different from the 100-meter sprinter.

It was still Radbey's quick reaction and a straight retreat to stand in the box.

Although because of Radebe's quick retreat, the angle of the shot was already small. But Bellamy is worthy of being a striker, and if it were Duff or Pire, he would pass the ball. Because there is Klose in front of the penalty area, Duff on the left, and Deco on the back. But Bellamy ignored it and shot straight at goal.

"Bellamy! Shot! ”

"Beautiful, such a small angle, it was actually punched in."

'It was Bellamy's first goal at Blackburn Rovers and George's hand caught Leeds off guard. Hart had no way to defend Bellamy. ”

"Bellamy, a player who was bought by George for £3.8 million, has performed really well. George didn't spend the money unjustly. ”

After Bellamy saw the goal, he yelled at Leeds United goalkeeper Martin in the opponent's penalty area. A little scruples, this is a penalty area for Leeds United. Then he ran to the camera and opened his mouth wide and yelled.

George saw Bellamy's goal and jumped up from his seat as well.

Score first, and the game will be easy to play. All the pressure was given to O'Reilly. George couldn't help but swing his fist several times in a row, he was so excited. George doesn't believe Leeds' young players will be able to withstand the pressure and they will collapse. Definitely!

"George, we're definitely going to the League Cup next season." Evan was also quite excited next to him.

"Yes, I will definitely go."

O'Reilly was already a bad move in the start, and now he is one goal behind, and he is very anxious. He's in a hurry, and the Leeds players are even more anxious. Blackburn players, on the other hand, are playing more and more fluidly and smoothly.

Deco's control of the ball in midfield is getting more and more beautiful, and the passing is becoming more and more comfortable.

"Look at Deco's performance. If you are a player from Brazil, your skills are outstanding. I heard that George started to apply for Portuguese citizenship for him half a year ago for Deco. Burnley were a real failure and if George had stayed at Burnley, Deco wouldn't have been their player. ”

"Compared to Burnley, Benfica will beat their chests. Such a good player, they don't even cherish it at all. Although it has not been announced, it is heard that the transfer price of Deco is only about 300,000 pounds. This is simply the price of cabbage. ”

'George's vision is unrivalled and Deco played in Portugal's second division before coming to England. Deco is a player for Benfica, but Benfica doesn't take Deco seriously at all. Instead, let him train in the second division. It was George who saw the hero and took a fancy to Deco and brought him to Blackburn. At the beginning of the season, Deco was ridiculed by many media, but George unswervingly gave Deco a main position. Now Deco is starting to repay George's trust and look at how he performs on the field. If this performance continues, he may even be selected for the Brazilian national team. ”

Martin. Taylor and Andy. Gray and the others praised Deco's performance. Deco doesn't have the dazzling skills of Brazilian players, but his foundation is still very good. It's not so easy to get the ball off his feet.

And although Deco's passing is not so gorgeous**, it is simple and murderous. The second point of rear plugging control is also quite good.

Deco is also physically strong, covering almost all the midfielders. Receiving the ball and passing the ball everywhere, the whole Blackburn offense and defense are impressive.

Just as George thought, the Leeds players started to get anxious.

They also now know that Blackburn Rovers and Leeds United are battling it out for a place in the UEFA Cup, and this game is a game that can't be more important. It leads them to be very anxious.

Bowyer, in particular, in the midfield, turned out to have a bad temper. The temper was even worse under the depression, and after being passed by Deco, he directly tackled in the back and was warned by the referee with a yellow card. If it weren't for the mercy of his men, Bowyer would have been sent off by the referee in the first half.

They were in a hurry to attack blindly, and even forgot what O'Reilly had laid out before the game. George loves to play against such opponents the most.

Before the end of the first half, Sagnol stepped up a beautiful cross and Klose pressed England star Woodgate to head the second goal of the game. It was also Klose's sixth goal of the season.

George ended the first half with a two-goal advantage.

For the whole game, George was already full of confidence. Leeds United are already in disarray, and O'Reilly is not the kind of coach who has a strong command on the spot. was completely stunned by George's starting lineup, and there were no corresponding changes.

In the second half, O'Reilly replaced David in an awkward position. Barty, replaced by Ribeiro. O'Reilly was also anxious and began to dispatch troops. The line of defense also began to move forward.

George watched O'Reilly adjust the midfield and immediately replaced Klose with Pire. Bellamy was then pushed up front, while Pire returned to the left and Duff to the right.

Blackburn's overall squad is starting to recycle, with Pire nominally a left-sided midfielder but more of a midfielder in control of the ball. There was only one Bellamy left in the front, and he was used to counterattack.

With Bellamy, Leeds United's defence did not dare to move forward. After all, Bellamy's speed is too perverted.

And when Pire came on, he and Bellamy were in a completely different style in midfield. Pire's technique is far better than Bellamy's, and his ball control is no worse than Deco's. Replace David. Barty, O'Reilly is to attack better.

It's a pity that David is missing. After Barty's defensive midfielder, Deco became more presumptuous. And Piret also often shocked the original David. The position of Barty's guard.

Less than ten minutes into the second half, it was Bellamy who received a pass from Pire, and used his speed to shake off all the defenders. In the end, he scored his second goal of the game after passing the goalkeeper.
