292 defeat the Blue Eagle
The sudden improvement in Blackburn's rhythm makes Lazio players very uncomfortable.
What is Blackburn's most powerful ability? In the Premier League, Blackburn is famous for his strong control, especially in the midfield. Blackburn can collect and play, fast and slow in the midfield, which makes many Premier League teams uncomfortable.
However, on the whole, other teams in the Premier League are fast-paced, but Blackburn is as slow as possible in the game. Then suddenly the rhythm is accelerated, and this rhythm changes to defeat the opponent.
Ericsson obviously knows a good about Blackburn.
So there are four players who can grab and run in the midfield.
What is the Italian team least afraid of? Just play slowly with you. The slow pace of Italian football is famous. If it's slow, who can compare with the Italian team? As long as you play slow, it will be difficult to break through Lazio's defense.
Now the pace has been suddenly accelerated. In fact, it is not suitable for both teams.
But Blackburn has an advantage over Lazio in this way of playing. Because Blackburn is a Premier League team, although it has always been playing fast and slow. But in the Premier League, he always adapts to the fast pace than Lazio.
Under the fast pace of the Premier League, it is difficult for a forward-waist player to survive.
Just like Lazio's midfielder Beron, who became famous in Serie A, chose Manchester United in the Premier League to accept the challenge. But whether at Manchester United or Chelsea, Peron is not used to the rhythm of the Premier League at all.
Many traditional midfielders, their way of playing the ball is to control the ball first and then pass the ball. But the Premier League does not allow those front-line players to think about it for such a long time. Therefore, Peron's Premier League career was a complete failure.
But Miku is different from Peron. Miku has been in Blackburn for two seasons and has fully adapted to the rhythm of the Premier League. Although Miku prefers to control and pass the ball at a slower pace, even at a fast pace, Miku can pass a good ball.
Because Miku has adapted to passing at a fast pace.
But Lazio players are different. After Blackburn's pace got faster, they were very uncomfortable. They are used to playing football at a slow pace. After speeding up, they are awkward to control and pass the ball.
Simone tried to control the rhythm several times. But it didn't come as he wanted at all, and the pace of both sides was still ridiculously fast. And the previous Peron has made several passing mistakes. Because the speed is too fast, if Peron is slow, it will not be in line with the pace of other Lazio players.
But after Peron speeds up the passing speed, there will be several passing mistakes.
After the pace is fast, you can't stop if you want to. Unconsciously, Lazio players can only play at this rhythm.
There are more and more mistakes between the two sides.
But George likes it. This is a very familiar rhythm of the Premier League. Compared with the mistakes of Lazio players, Blackburn also has a lot of passing mistakes. But it's much better than Lazio. Several people, including Deke, Miku and Pires, can handle the ball at the first time.
Erickson couldn't sit still at this time.
Erickson has understood what George thinks. George wants to play his Lazio in the rhythm of the Premier League.
Because Lazio's middle road is too powerful. George strengthened the two-sided attack and wanted to open Lazio's defense.
After the pace is fast, the pressure on the rear defense line has increased greatly. Especially in the face of a striker like Crespo, Blanco dared not be careless at all.
"...Blanco, long pass... Duff, Duff got the ball."
Blanco's long pass is very good. At a distance of more than 40 meters, Duff was accurately found. After Duff got the ball, he faced Favali and was ready to break through. Unfortunately, Favari firmly controlled the position. Don't let Duff get inside.
The Italian defender is absolutely unique in the position. Duff has almost passed all the left-backs in the Premier League, but he can't find a gap in the face of Farvali, a less famous defender.
In desperation, Duff just flashed an angle with speed and made a cross to the penalty area.
"...Nesta, he pushed the ball out... Miku, pass the ball!"
After Nesta came out, Miku and Simone went to grab the ball together. After Miku saw Simone coming, although he was in front of the ball for the first time, he had no control. Instead, the ball was passed directly to the left without stopping.
"...Pyre, this is an offside!"
Because of the fast pace of attack and defense in the Premier League, there are a lot of non-stop passes. Under this offensive and defensive rhythm, Miku's pass was practiced. When he first came to the Premier League, Miku always controlled this kind of ball first, but now he is used to this fast pace.
Pure has been with Miku for a long time and has a very tacit understanding. I know what Miku thinks when I see Miku's movements. I understood that when Lazio's defense line moved forward, it was suddenly inserted.
"Pyre, he went in. Pass the ball!"
Pure's reverse offside was very sudden, and Piret did not hesitate after getting the ball. It is directly transmitted from low to the middle.
"Klose...shoot!"
"GOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!" The on-site commentator cheered loudly. Klose, it's Klose. Our Milo scored his eighth goal of the season. It is also the second goal in the Champions League this season.
"One to zero, we are in the lead."
tacit understanding, just scoring a goal is a tacit understanding.
At the moment of Pires's offside, in fact, Lazio's defense line has not yet reacted. But at the moment of Miku's passing, Klose, who moved forward like Lazio's defense, already understood. So follow the ball to reverse the offside.
Pure did not stop the ball and passed it directly to the middle.
Although there are two passes in this series, because they are all passed by one foot, the time is instantaneous. Therefore, when Klose received Pires's pass, there were no defenders around him. Of course, Klose will not let go of this kind of ball.
This is the speed.
In fact, according to Peron's strength, even a pass will not be weaker than Miku. But the problem is that Peron can't adapt to this fast pace for a while, so there will be a lot of mistakes. But Miku is different. In the Premier League, Miku has passed the ball at such a fast pace many times.
The fans of Ewood Park are very excited. This time, it was Serie A champion Lazio.
Although Lazio can't compare with Juventus and Milan, he is also a strong team in Serie A. He is also the champion of Serie A last season. Before this game, Lazio media was very arrogant.
This made Blackburn fans very dissatisfied.
Now that they are one goal ahead of Lazio, Blackburn fans are certainly very happy. Even the enthusiastic fans in Jack's stands shouted, "Dry Lazio!" Lazio, get out of here!"
Seeing Klose's goal, George suddenly remembered a joke from later generations.
Never fight against Arsenal. Because he will pull your defense to the same level as it, and then beat you with his years of rich experience... Although this is a joke, it summarizes a way of play. It shows Arsenal's strengths and weaknesses. Defense is Arsenal's weakness, so Arsenal can only attack. But once you go crazy with him, it's easy to be pierced by Arsenal.
Humph, it must be difficult for Blackburn to break through Lazio's defense. Now speed up the pace, and both sides have made mistakes. There will also be loopholes in defense. At this time, it depends on who is more adaptable to this style of play.
Now the results prove that Blackburn, who exercises in the Premier League, is more adaptable.
But George didn't dare to be careless. Tell the team to continue this style of play and defeat Lazio with a fast pace.
The toughness of the Serie A team is very strong. If they are not completely defeated, they will still recover.
After losing a ball, Blackburn had not accelerated the pace, but Lazio automatically chose the fast pace. George likes Lazio's choice very much. So Blackburn still chose to play fast.
Many people in Lazio are not used to this fast pace.
Not only Beron, but also Tiehannedvede and Stankovic are not used to this fast pace. Even if Peron is not used to this fast pace, he at least has a technical advantage. Don't lose the ball easily.
But Nedvid and Stankovic are not as technical as good as Peron, so after speeding up the pace, the passing is always a mistake. Of course, even if you get the ball, it will be easy to be cut off. Their midfield has been completely messed up in this fast pace.
But Blackburn is different.
Makelele is responsible for the defense. After Deco gets the ball, he will quickly pass the ball forward. And Miku will not ink in the front court or control the ball for a long time in the front court. Instead, choose to pass the ball quickly.
Ericsson is not a coach with strong on-site adjustment ability.
In the face of today's passive situation, it can't be adjusted in time. Therefore, Lazio's players are wrong. Some people want to attack, while others want to defend. Nesta wants to attack, so he keeps pressing the team up.
If the team has a disagreement, it will be even more dangerous.
At the end of the first half, Erickson may feel that the first half is coming to an end. I want to make changes during the half-time break.
And in the first half of stoppage time, in another offensive and defensive conversion, Makelele grabbed Beron's ball and handed it to Deco. Deko had a long pass, and Claude got rid of Nesta at once. Nesta's position, defensive skills and consciousness are indeed the best central defender in the world.
The explosive power is not weak, but Klose's explosive power is even stronger.
At the moment of passing the ball, Klose was at the speed, but Nesta couldn't hold Klose. If it was the previous defensive system, Klose would certainly not get the ball so easily. But now that the Lazio defense line is slightly advanced, Klose can cross the Lazio defense line at speed.
"Clozzi, this is a single knife!"
All the fans of Ewood Park stopped their voices.
Klose is no longer the kind of rookie striker who is nervous in front of the door. In the face of Peruzi, Klose was very calm and passed Peruzi with speed. Then he kicked the ball into the empty goal.
2 to zero, Blackburn leads Lazio 1-0. Blackburn has been in a good state recently. Klose is so excellent. This is Klose's ninth goal of the season.
"Blackburn is one step ahead in the competition for the first place in the group stage."
