295 Warcraft's First Skill
The Old Trafford Stadium is full of voices. When the commentator revealed the names of Manchester United players, there were fierce cheers at the scene.
The highlight of the eleventh round of the Premier League is finally about to begin. The two sides of the game are Manchester United and Blackburn.
"Manchester United's Keane and Giggs can't play. Manchester United's starting lineup is goalkeeper Batz, and the guard line is Sylvester, Stam, Brown and Gary. Neville, the midfielders are Scholes and Philip. Neville, Bart, Beckham, the forward line is Andy. Cole and Solskjaer.
Blackburn is that Blanco and Klose can't play. The starting lineup is goalkeeper Kudicini, the defender is Riese, Ferdinand, Pacini and Sanior, the midfielders are Pires, Deko, Miku, Maclele, Duff, and the striker is Drogba.
"Klose heard that he had some minor injuries during training, so he couldn't play. I just didn't expect that George would choose Drogba as the starting forward. In fact, in the Blackburn bench, there are also people like Davao. Such an experienced striker like Suke.
"Speaking about these two teams. Blackburn, who was in excellent form at the beginning of the season, has drawn and lost in the last two league games, and is in a sluggish state. Manchester United have won two consecutive victories.
Martin. Taylor introduced the recent situation of the two teams.
Martin. Taylor wondered that George kept Davao. A striker like Suk didn't use it, but chose Drogba.
Although Drogba has made a lot of progress, his strength is still unable to be the main force of the Premier League club. George's use of Drogba is more in his weak opponents. What makes Drogba play is more to contain the opponent's back line and give a few people in the midfield.
George let Drogba play, and he will never let Drogba play the role of the front-court terminator. Because Drogba's scoring ability is too poor.
Of course, there was also a fierce battle in the second half. When the strength of the opponent's defense decreased, it was very effective to let Drogba go up and rush. There are not many defenders who can face Drogba head-on, because Drogba is too strong.
However, George has never let Drogba start in a highlight like today.
It's not just Martin. Taylor was puzzled, and even Drogba himself was puzzled.
Drogba is no longer young. I'm 22 years old this year.
Klose, who is a few months younger than Drogba, has become one of the top strikers in the Premier League. But Drogba is still a substitute for the club. When Klose scored more than 20 goals last season, Drogba scored four goals.
Drogba is not a genius. There is no Pire's arrogance, let alone Pire's self-confidence. On the contrary, it is a little trembling.
From the Ligue 2 to the Premier League, Drogba has been very careful. Last season, George gave Drogba a lot of opportunities. Drogba played more than 20 games in Blackburn last season. There are more than a dozen games just for starting.
Drogba is very satisfied with the high-level game that has just come to the Premier League and has 20 games left.
And George's reuse of Drogba this season is more obvious.
But even so, Drogba didn't expect that George would choose himself in this game. Drogba is self-aknowledgeable. With his current strength, he is definitely not as good as Davao. Sooke. Don't look at Davao. Su Ke is old, but his skills have not fallen at all.
After the game started, the two teams immediately entered the rhythm of the game.
Although speaking of Bart and Philip. Neville also belongs to the 92nd generation of Manchester United, but his dominance in the midfield is completely the same level as that of Keane. Roy. As long as Keane is on the court, he can put strong pressure on his opponents.
Keane is one of the few people in the world who can control his own restricted area to the back of the opponent's restricted area.
And Keane is a strong back. If he stands there, he will scare many attacking players.
Now Keane has been banned for several games because of his match with Arsenal's Yongberi. It can't be better for Blackburn. At the beginning of the game, Blackburn's midfielder controlled the situation.
Philip. Both Neville and Bart retreated.
And Scholes was ranked on the left, which was completely different from Giggs. Although Scholes is on the left, he runs more to the middle.
In this way, the pressure on Sylvester's side has increased greatly. It's already very difficult to defend a Duff. Saniol also comes to attack from time to time.
"...Saniol, cross... Drogba, no, Stam came out."
"...Droba, it was robbed by Stam!"
"Droba is still... Although he has good physical fitness and good speed, it is a pity that he lacks experience. There is no chance to face Stam at all.
Martin. Taylor shook his head.
Drogba's foundation is too poor. Especially the stop technique, the fast speed is paid attention to in the penalty area. Especially the reaction, you have to do other actions at the moment of stopping the ball, and then Wei will not give you other opportunities at all.
But because Drogba's stopping skill is too poor, even if he wants to do action, Stam will not give Drogba time to do action.
In addition, even if it is a header, it can't beat Stam.
Drogba has height and bounce, but he is not as good as Stam in judging the drop point of the high ball. It's not Stam's opponent in grabbing positions.
In addition, Drogba does not have Claude's passing ability, so he can't give enough support to Miku, Pires and Duff in the front court. And every time the ball is passed to Drogba's foot, Drogba will lose the ball when he enters the penalty area.
George shook his head at the sidelines. Drogba's current strength is really poor, and his effect as a single striker is very poor.
George hopes that Drogba can control the high ball in the front court and give some support to Miku and the two sides. But George was wrong.
A single striker has the advantages of a single striker, but the requirements for a single striker are very high. Unfortunately, the current Drogba has not met George's requirements.
Drogba is also very depressed. Facing Stam, he robbed him as soon as he took the ball. In the penalty area, even the high ball can't be compared with Stam. Therefore, Drogba can only withdraw from the restricted area.
Stam didn't follow.
Manchester United's defensive line only maintains the formation. If Klose is on the field, once he withdraws the ball, a defender will definitely follow him. But Drogba... "...Pyre, he passed it to Drogba... Drogba and Pyre really have no tacit understanding."
In fact, Pires wants to have a two-to-one with Drogba. So after handing over the ball to Drogba, he inserted it forward. As long as Drogba passes in from between Neville and Brown, it will be a very perfect two-to-one.
And once it is passed, it will completely penetrate Manchester United's defense.
Pure used to play this kind of two-to-one cooperation with Klose before. Especially if there is no one to defend, then Klose is often able to pass such a fatal goal.
But Drogba didn't pass it on at all. It's not that Drogba doesn't want to pass it on, but that Drogba knows himself. I know that with my own strength, I can't pass it on at all.
Although Drogba got the ball near the top of the arc in the penalty area, Stam did not go to the top. He just kept a certain distance from Drogba and didn't let Drogba easily take the next step. For Stam, Drogba's technology is so rough that it is impossible for him to break into the restricted area alone.
And now Manchester United midfielder has Bart and Philip. Neville and two people, Drogba's current area will have Bart to defend.
After Drogba got the ball, he saw that Stam did not press it up immediately. And Bart hasn't come to defend yet. Drogba was a little angry. They looked down on people too much.
"Droppa, what will he do with this ball? Drogba... He's going to shoot!"
Drogba saw some space, and raising his foot was a long-range shot. It is still 24 meters away from the Manchester United gate.
"...Batz... He couldn't hold the ball. It's so surprising that Drogba still has the ability to shoot from a long distance. The ball is so fast that Batz didn't expect it at all!" Martin. Taylor was very surprised.
Not to mention that Batz didn't expect it, even Manchester United's back line didn't think of it.
Even George on the sidelines didn't expect it.
Drogba's long-range shot flew by like a cannonball. Twenty-four meters away, he arrived in front of Batz in an instant. Although Batz tried his best to save, he didn't touch the ball at all.
Stam stared at the ball in the middle of the goal and blamed himself. If he hadn't underestimated Drogba and given Drogba space for a long shot, how could Drogba have scored this goal? However, there is indeed a reason why Stam despises Drogba.
Drogba is now very rough in the basic parts such as stopping the ball and dribble. And not to mention the shooting. Flying alone in front of the door is a commonplace for Drogba. How can such a player have such a wonderful long-range shooting ability?
I didn't expect that Drogba would score such a beautiful goal with a slight neglect of Drogba.
"One to zero. With Drogba's long-range shot, Blackburn led Manchester United away.
Drogba was brought to the Premier League by George for 100,000 pounds from Ligue 2 last summer. It has been criticized for a long time, but everyone also understands. After all, Drogba is only worth 100,000 pounds. But today's game against Manchester United is far more expensive than 100,000 pounds. With this goal alone, 100,000 pounds have been earned back.
Looking at Blackburn's player celebrating the goal, George clapped his hands and said to Carl unexpectedly, "It seems that Didier has never practiced long-range shots in our training. Is this practiced or confused?"
"Of course it's practice. Didn't you see that Didier's long-range shooting posture is very standard? Carl grinned.
"Why don't I know?"
"Extinued. Didier is very diligent. After the team's practice, they will also practice shooting. I think he is strong and his legs are very strong, so I asked him to practice long-range shooting. Carl is very satisfied with the effect of training Drogba.
George nodded. I'm very glad to have an assistant like Carl. Of course, there is also a little guilt in my heart. George has always thought that Drogba's foundation is too poor, so he has been arranging Drogba to practice the foundation. But he forgot that Drogba was a striker.
Only scoring goals can enhance Drogba's self-confidence. More shooting training should be arranged.
"Good. Carl, after going back, give Didier more shooting training. He has always been a striker.
