195 Manchester United down

This game is a life-and-death battle for both teams.

Of course, for Manchester United, it is not a life-and-death battle. They have reached the FA Cup final, the Champions League final, especially the Champions League final. Once they win the Champions League, Manchester United will have been successful this season.

But Ferguson couldn't tolerate letting the damn Frenchman ride on his head for two consecutive years. Before Wenger entered Arsenal, although there were rebellious princes, Ferguson did not pay attention to them. Because even if those people rebel for a while, they are just a small spark. As long as Ferguson shakes his hand, he can be extinguished.

Until Wenger came to England, Ferguson really felt that his dominance in the Premier League was threatened.

So Ferguson wants to teach him a lesson before Wenger's Arsenal is really strong. But I didn't expect that Arsenal will still be strong this year, and so far it is the most popular team for the championship. Ferguson will never allow Arsenal to win the Premier League for two consecutive years.

Therefore, although it is not a life-and-death battle, Ferguson is indeed bound to win this game.

This is especially true for George. The fourth place is insignificant in the eyes of Manchester United and Arsenal. But for Blackburn, who has been in the relegation zone for three consecutive years, a UEFA Cup quota is very important. And George also hopes to use the League Cup quota to attract other players.

Not only that, George also needs to use this quota to tell his players that they can achieve good results as long as they are willing to.

But the battle of life and death was played insipid in the first ten minutes. There are not many threatening shots, and there are not many beautiful scenes.

However, when the game lasted for 15 minutes, Manchester United suddenly began to exert their strength. In particular, Keane, as Manchester United's only back player at present, has frequently hit forward. And Giggs and Beckham, who had never performed on the sidelines, also suddenly became active.

Giggs used his excellent speed and technology to hit Blackburn's right side. Beckham, on the other hand, increased his running.

The running of Manchester United midfielders, especially the ballless running, is very distinctive. Their ballless running can find some dead corners in Blackburn's defense. George frowned, and the cooperation of Manchester United's midfield was definitely the result of playing together for a long time.

Blackburn players still remember George's words. As long as Manchester United takes the ball, they will grab the ball crazily. But George always feels awkward and worried.

Now this is Manchester United, the Manchester United that will never give up. Ferguson has never been a person who is willing to pretend to be a grandson, and his team matches his surname. Manchester United is a team that can't be underestimated. They will never give up. Even in the face of opponents who are stronger than themselves, they will use a stronger momentum to overwhelm them.

This is also why Manchester United's strength has slowly faded after Glazer's entry. But their achievements are still counted among the European giants. They can maintain the true nature of a strong team by this unyielding momentum.

Soon Blackburn's defense began to have problems. George originally hoped to use his full-court rush to consume Manchester United's physical strength. But the ball is always faster than the man. In the face of Manchester United's attack, Blackburn's players are getting more and more flinching.

At this time, the game is getting better and better,

When the game lasted for 31 minutes, Manchester United's attack finally came to an end. Beckham and Neville on the right simply flashed out of the gap, and Beckham's pass accurately found Scholes rushing into the penalty area.

"Scholes! At this time, there was no one to defend Scholes... This header was too simple. Kudicini didn't have time to defend, which was Blackburn's midfielder's responsibility. How can you put Scholes in so easily?

"One to zero, now the initiative of the game is back to Manchester United."

Scholes is not a good header player. His greatest power is the powerful long-range shot in the back row. Most of his goals came from a strong shot after a sudden start. But it doesn't mean that Scholes won't head the ball.

George threw the mineral water in his hand to the ground, and now Blackburn has indeed lost the initiative.

At this time, looking at Ferguson next to him, he is really sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai. Just smiled and simply clap your hands.

After that, the pace of the game suddenly began to speed up, and Blackburn was not willing to fail like this. Therefore, the rhythm of the two sides suddenly began a fierce confrontation.

George's idea cannot be said to be wrong, but it is obvious that George is still too conservative. In fact, Blackburn doesn't need to play this kind of defensive counterattack at all, and he can compete with Manchester United's midfield for possession. Unfortunately, George took a solid defensive strategy. Martin. Taylor criticized George's tactical arrangement.

"Yes, George thought Manchester United would be eager to attack. So he wanted to play defensive counterattack, but unfortunately he forgot that the momentum is very important in football games. Blackburn himself shrank one step first and completely handed over the initiative to Manchester United. Manchester United is a mature team.

As the two of them analyzed, George is now very regretful.

George forgot the old man's words that defense should not be passive defense, but should be active defense. What George took was a negative defense. After waiting for the opponent to lose the ball, he wanted to fight back. This idea is too negative.

To play Manchester United, we should adopt a more proactive strategy, and we should not give way out of the middle.

If the defense is not so passive, it should be blocked in the midfield. Then once you grab the ball, you start to attack. This is the real defensive counterattack, and it is also suitable for Blackburn's counterattack now.

After all, this Blackburn was not Burnley in those years. Burnley started by defending against it. The defensive counterattack has gone deep into their bone marrow, and playing defensive counterattack can also work. But now Blackburn is known for his strong midfield control and offensive ability.

Let them defend and counterattack, which itself binds their hands and feet. And in the face of those teams with weak attack power, although the defense is average, there is no problem. Relying on the breakthrough ability of several people in the front court, the defensive counterattack effect is good.

But George forgot that he was facing Manchester United, the undisputed hegemony of Manchester United since the establishment of the Premier League. Their offense and defense are first-class in the Premier League. How can you defeat Manchester United by cutting off your own advantage?

Mistake, mistake. Just thinking about the situation of Manchester United and the idea of Ferguson. But I don't know about my team, and I don't know how I can defeat my opponent.

But fortunately, although Manchester United's offensive was fierce in the first half, they did not continue to expand the score advantage.

"First of all, I want to apologize to everyone. It's entirely my responsibility to fall behind in the first half." George's words made the players below in an uproar. Because George is actually no different from what the media described. He is a dead duck-mouthed man. So even if it's really wrong, it's rare to apologize.

So they will be surprised to hear George's words. But George didn't care about them.

"I was wrong. Our team should not play such a negative game. This is not our team's style." George admitted his mistake at the beginning, and the first half of the game made George understand that his deployment was really wrong.

"Let's adjust in the second half, and we will start to compete in the midfield." George drew a circle near the center line. We don't retract. When we defend, we start to defend from this position. Then use the pass to mobilize them. Don't be mobilized by them.

"The ball is always faster than people. Use the pass to mobilize them. When attacking, you don't have to worry about anything. Just use our usual way of playing."

George thought of it. It's better to let the players let go. Use the advantage of the number of midfielders to beat them back. Of course, such an attack will greatly increase the pressure on the defense line. Especially in the face of the black wind of York and Cole, Blackburn's guard line is about to fight for 120,000 points.

"There are no worries now. We are lagging behind. If we want to put our fate in our own hands, we must not lose this game. Therefore, if you give up all ideas, you have to work hard to score goals.

Now the pressure is on George, because there is already new score news on another field. Leeds United leads Arsenal 1-0 at home, and Blackburn is only one point more than Billy's United now. The next game of Leeds United is to play West Ham United, while Blackburn will play away against Arsenal.

Obviously, Leeds United's next game is easier, and it's no joke to face Arsenal in Hebry. Especially once the game is lost, the gap between Arsenal and Manchester United is only one point. At that time, Arsenal will not fight with Blackburn for the championship.

So for the League Cup quota, this game must not be lost.

George directly replaced Bélamy and Pires for Romedar with Klose at the beginning of the second half. The intention of the full attack is very obvious.

Blackburn players knew this, so Blackburn began to counterattack just before the start of the second half of the game. Blackburn's attack is very different in British football and even in world football. Therefore, once the attack starts, it is completely different from the first half.

In the first half, Miku and Deko, who felt very awkward because of their defensive tactics, began to release their strength in the second half. Miku is 25 years old and has begun to reach his peak. But Deco is still young, and there is a gap in strength compared with any one of Keane and Scholes alone.

But together with Miku and Deko, their control ability in the midfield has increased many times.

Even in front of a world-class top midfielder like Keane, the two of them can freely control and pass the ball. Although there is a strong back like Keane, it is impossible to pass a deadly threat ball. But in the control ball of the midfield, Blackburn is not inferior to Manchester United.

Manchester United's style of play is still very direct, without any complicated passing and cooperation. York and Cole control the first point in the penalty area, and Scholes will plug in the second point. Although it is simple, it is very threatening.

In comparison, Blackburn's attack is much more complicated and cumbersome.

But whether it is Manchester United's opening and closing or Blackburn's wonderful cooperation, the second half of the game suddenly looks much better.
