335 grim situation
Seeing Stam's goal, George could only wave his hand helplessly.
After the start of the game, Blackburn lost power in the midfield. In the face of Manchester United's three midfielders Bart, Keane and Scholes, George lacked tack. Or Blackburn's lack of flux in midfield led to the loss of the ball.
George condemned himself.
When Ferguson puts it out and loses power at the beginning of the Blackburn game, it should be adjusted in time. It was because George failed to adjust in time that he lost the ball.
George still carefully observed the game on the field. How to break their three midfielders?
Keane is really the best and most dominant back in the world. With the help of Bart next to him, it became difficult for Miku and Deko to control the ball in the midfield. Without control of the ball, Blackburn's attack lost half of its power.
After losing a goal, Blackburn should have counterattacked immediately.
But now Blackburn continues to be at a disadvantage.
This made George, who was on the sidelines, frowned tightly. If the current situation does not change, Blackburn may continue to lose the ball at any time.
But George still hasn't found a way to break through the midfield defense of Patton and Keane. Even their attack, Blackburn felt very difficult to deal with.
George has played many games with Manchester United. But this is the first time that Manchester United feels so difficult to play.
George looked at Keane carefully.
Keane is really powerful. But it is not invincible. Otherwise, how could Manchester United lose the game? But today's Keane is completely invincible in George's eyes. Excellent defense and attack.
When George saw Keane, he thought of Vieira.
Since Wenger came to the home, British football has been a struggle between Arsenal and Manchester United. It is the era of Wenger and Ferguson's fight. Up to now, the most talked about in British football is the fight between Keane and Vieira. The battle between these two world-class midfields.
So how do Arsenal and Manchester United play?
It's also true. Manchester United and Arsenal will not set the position of forward, and of course they do not have a forward player like Mikku.
They have world-class midfielders such as Keane and Vieira.
So how did they attack?
In addition to the collision between Keane and Vieira in the middle, Arsenal is more on the sidelines when playing Manchester United. The method of attacking by the side.
Yes, George patted his forehead.
I really fell into a misunderstanding. Because Blackburn has always been playing midfield control, when he was blocked by Manchester United, George only wanted to change in the middle. Thinking about how to break the defense of Bart and Keane and regain control of the midfield.
But I didn't think about how to give full play to my advantages.
I'm really a fool. What's the use of focusing all your eyes in the middle? There is no team in the world that only attacks in the middle of the midfield. There is no side attack, and it is impossible to play any advantage in the strong midfield.
Not to mention Miku, if there is no sideline response, even if you let Maradona play, it won't have any effect.
Why am I so stupid that I forgot to attack on the sidelines. Just want to break the middle road, isn't this a mess?
In the past, once George couldn't open the middle, he would immediately take a long pass and quickly pass through the midfield. Of course, it will also take the method of side attack. Why did you forget it today?
Mom, it's still too much pressure from Manchester United to George. Or Ferguson put too much pressure on George to vent his mind, and he has been stuck in a huge misunderstanding.
In addition to midfield control, Blackburn's most powerful thing is the side attack. But George stared at the middle road and forgot his advantage. I always want to think of a way in the midfield, but I forget that the middle road and the side road echo each other.
Now the loss of power in the middle road makes Blackburn's side road can't fight.
But I forgot. Once Blackburn's side road fights, the middle road will naturally come out. George never thought of such a simple thing. Instead, the middle road has been against Manchester United and lost the best opportunity. It turned out that Manchester United scored a goal.
George immediately began to arrange, asking Miku's Deko not to continue to entangle with Manchester United's midfielder in the middle. Make full use of the two sides. As long as the two sides are opened, the pressure in the middle will naturally reduce a lot.
Pyre and Duff played very depressed in this game.
Because of the loss in the middle of the midfield, Giggs and Beckham are particularly active. Even two full-back Gary. Neville and Sylvester also took turns to attack. This allows Pires and Duff to withdraw frequently to assist in defense.
Now that they hear what George said, the two of them are even more depressed.
You were blown up in the middle. Without the support of the middle road, how to play on the side road alone.
For good, George also took other actions later. George asked Miku to retreat a little back a little, and don't hesitate to get the ball in the midfield. The horse uploaded to the side road and asked Pirrey and Duff to open the side road.
Neville and Sylvester are not the best full-backs.
Neville is really not the world's top right-back. But one of Neville's biggest characteristics is his stability. It is absolutely rare in world football that Neville can maintain his state for more than ten years. And Neville will never make a low-level mistake in the right-back position.
Or there will never be any inexplicable mistakes.
But he is indeed not the top defender in the right-back position.
Of course, this is especially true for another full-back, Sylvester. He is very rash, and he often loses his position in the left-back position.
George is very confident about Pires and Duff. They must be able to help Blackburn open the side road.
George's idea is not wrong. When the ball always passes to the feet of Pires and Duff, the first thing is that Neville and Sylvester can't press it. And it is difficult for the two of them to defend Pires and Duff, so Bart often needs to go to the sidelines to help defend.
In this way, the hardness of the middle road immediately becomes lower. Both Miku and Deko are under great pressure.
In this way, Blackburn got rid of the passivity at the beginning of the game.
The two teams began to be evenly matched in the game, with attack and defense.
George finally defeated himself. Although George always thought that he was not weaker than Ferguson and Wenger, George felt that he should not be weaker than those European coaches. George has always thought so.
But in today's game, George found that he still had fear and burden in his heart.
Facing the pressure of Manchester United and Ferguson, George has always been afraid. Or I have always been afraid of them in my heart. It's just that George didn't admit it, so George thought he was not afraid.
But this game let George know. George has always cared about Ferguson's thoughts in this heavyweight competition. At the beginning of the game, George was thinking about what Ferguson meant by putting three midfields, always thinking about this thing. Therefore, I have been wandering under the pressure I created for myself and can't get out.
But when George came out by himself, George was very happy. Because I defeated myself again.
No wonder being a coach requires experience and the accumulation of experience. So that's why.
Every time he plays against Ferguson, especially in this important game, George can learn something. Every time this experience is of great benefit to George's future.
George was finally relieved.
It's just that he couldn't equalize the score, and George's heart was still hanging.
The game passed minute by minute, but Blackburn still failed to equalize the score. Until the end of the first half, the score was still 1-0 with Manchester United leading Blackburn.
George did not blame the players at halftime. George has no position to accuse them. Because he fell behind in the first half, it was all George's loss to Ferguson in the first half. Therefore, George continued to encourage them in the midfield and then arranged the tactics of the second half.
Although he was lagging behind, George did not take the risk.
In the League Cup final with Liverpool, George can take advantage of the time when Hollior takes back and attack. Horyl's fantasy was completely eliminated. But with Manchester United, George won't do that.
Who is Ferguson? Playing like that in front of him can only die faster.
Unless it comes to the end, when he fights hard, George will be desperate. There are still 45 minutes left, and George can't worry.
After the start of the second half, Manchester United's play was much more stable. Keane in the midfield was no longer as fierce as the first half. But Keane's withdrawal gave George not good news, but greater pressure.
If Keane attacks, he will have time for Blackburn to take advantage of it. When fighting back, Blackburn's midfielder can pass more smoothly.
But now recycling makes Blackburn's attack more and more difficult. Of course, George can't be desperate to attack. After all, there are still wingers like Giggs in the front court. With Beckham, a player with accurate long passes, the counterattack is still sharp. A little relaxation from Blackburn will give Manchester United a counterattack.
The game passed minute by minute, but Blackburn never equalized the score.
Blackburn fans did not lose confidence in the game because they were behind. I have been cheering for the team.
And Manchester United fans laugh at Blackburn. They shouted, "You are just an upstart!" If you want to win the championship, wait for the next life!" Although this game is a victory, the initiative to win the championship is still here in Blackburn.
But Manchester United fans believe that once they lose this game, Blackburn will definitely collapse.
The second half of the game also went fast, but George never adjusted. Because George is waiting for an opportunity to change the situation on the court.
I just haven't found this opportunity. Ferguson is very old and doesn't give this opportunity at all.
Time flies, and the situation is getting more and more serious.
