321 You can't
After seeing Owen's harm, George directly replaced Sanior with Hargreaves. Turning the lineup into a three-back is to restrain Owen. In the eyes of George, there is no player in Liverpool who can change the situation on the field except Owen.
In fact, in the future of Liverpool, there is a superstar who has fallen several times. He is Steven. Gerrard, it's a pity that Gerrard is too young and too young at this time. And Hollior valued Gerrard's physical strength and defense more than Gerrard's offensive ability.
It was not until Benitez came to Liverpool that Gerrard's offensive ability was fully developed.
But now Gerrard doesn't have the ability to change the situation on the field. Or it limits his ability in this regard. So when George stared at Owen, Liverpool's attack was half less.
George looked at Hargreaves like a dog skin plaster following Owen, and his hands and feet were not very clean. One hand even grabbed Owen's clothes, whether Owen had a ball or not. This makes George more and more fond of Hargreaves.
George likes it, but Holler frowned tightly. Because Blackburn's attack is getting more and more fierce.
Hollyr is not a bold person. Or Hollior is a conservative coach. His team is very adventurous, and he doesn't like that kind of adventure.
After seeing the fierce attack on Blackburn's side, Hollier immediately chose to be conservative.
Hollyer replaced Fowler with Bamby. Let Bumby play on the right side, and let Gerard go back to the middle to help Harman defend. Although it is not a conservative move to change to a striker and an offensive midfielder.
But the meaning of this substitution is clear.
Liverpool's formation soon retracted. Owen was the only one left in front.
Mom, what does Holier want to do? Does he want to play penalty kicks?
There are still nearly 20 minutes before the end of the game. Hollier is playing defense so soon.
In fact, Holier wants to continue to attack with George, but it is difficult for George. After all, Liverpool is a strong team, and more importantly, Liverpool's players have a momentum. Or this is not the momentum of Liverpool players, but the momentum of their club.
This kind of spirit can make up for their lack of strength.
Just like Liverpool's shocking reversal in the Champions League, in fact, Milan's strength at that time was at its peak. Although many people call Benitez a master of tactics, his change brought Liverpool to victory.
But even if it is Benitez, it is impossible for Liverpool to surpass Milan's strength. After equalizing the score, Milan still has a lot of opportunities.
But Liverpool finally survived. And in the end, he won. Why? It's because Liverpool has an unyielding spirit. This is not injected by Benitez, but the precipitation left by the glorious history of Liverpool.
So Hollior's attack, George still has to worry. But now Hollior has retracted by himself, which can't be better. This is to break your own momentum.
George originally wanted to attack, but now he sneered even more when he saw Houllier's adjustment. Holier, Holler, if you dare to retreat, I will chase you.
Seeing the retreat of Liverpool's formation, George first replaced Bellamy with Hleb.
George is very satisfied with Bellamy's performance in this game. But now that Liverpool's formation is recycled, Bellamy is very fast, but his technology is flawed in small spaces. Therefore, George replaced Bellamy with Hleb, the king of people.
Holier saw that this was just a substitution. There is no indication that Hleb is much less famous than Bellamy.
But George didn't end like this. After five minutes, George replaced Maclele with Drogba. In this way, Blackburn's formation has become 3-5-2, and the midfield has become a combination of Hargreaves, Deko and Miku.
In fact, it is said to be the five midfielder, and Pires and Heleb are closer to it.
George's series of substitutions are dazzling.
Hollyr really didn't expect George's substitution to be so resolute. This kind of substitution made Holier unable to cope with it for a while, but it was in such a moment of hesitation that George's substitution effect came out.
Only five minutes after George changed Drogba, that is, when the game was 82 minutes, Hleb on the right side broke through with the ball. In the face of Carragher's defense, he easily changed his way.
At this time, because there are many players in Liverpool's backcourt, but Hleb is like a little loach, passing through the middle of several defensive players. The Liverpool players were unable to break Hleb's ball in any way. Of course, Hleb was not able to enter Liverpool's hinterland.
But it is this breakthrough that makes Liverpool's defense reveal a flaw.
Holeb did not continue to carry the ball, but passed it to Panucci who received it. Panucci was directly in a cross, and Drogba came forward and rubbed it. Unlike last season, Drogba's judgment on the team's landing point has improved a lot.
Coupled with Drogba's perverted body, he came forward to grab the ball, and Henjoz couldn't hold him at all.
Klose leaned against Hypia and received the ball, but because of Hypia, he couldn't turn around at all. Klose is not a simple shooter. His full surname can be counted even in world football.
Before taking the ball, Clozes knew that it was impossible for Haipia to turn around and shoot.
So at the moment of taking the ball, he passed the ball to the following Miku.
"...Klose, back...Miku, now the penalty area is full of Liverpool players, what will Mikku do..."
Indeed, when Miku got the ball, there was a Liverpool defender in front, Harman next to him, and Gerard behind him. It can be said that there are players from all sides, and everyone is defending against Miku's long-range shot.
However, although Miku raised his thigh, he did not shoot. Instead, when you step down, gently push it to the left. The ball came out of the encirclement and came to the position of the gap.
Miku's performance is getting better and better, and people are becoming more and more stable. Even in the face of this environment, it is still calm. And although this pass is a simple right-way push, it has the effect of lifting weights lightly.
This push immediately threw away the Liverpool players around Miku.
It was Deko who came to catch the ball. When Deke came forward, there were very few people around Deke.
"...The ball is beautiful and disrupts Liverpool's defense. Deko, shoot... It's not a shot, it's a pass!"
When Deko came up, everyone thought Deko was a shot. But Deko still didn't shoot. It seemed that he was trying to shoot, but it was a gentle pass. It was passed to Pires inserted on the left side.
Everyone's eyes were on Deko's shot, and no one looked at Pires.
So when Pires received the ball, there was no one around him. Pires is completely facing Westwed.
"...Pyre, shoot!"
Pure's shot is very simple. It was just a gentle push shot with his right foot, and the ball rolled into the goal from Westward's reaction.
"Let's count, from Hargreaves in the midfield to Deco, Deco to Hleb, Hleb to Panucci, Drogba's header, Klose's back pass, Miku's cross pass, Deko's pick, Pires shot."
In this series of passes, the Liverpool players did not touch the ball. It's so beautiful. This ball completely shows Blackburn's characteristics.
"Three to two, Blackburn overtook the score again at the end of the game."
George's series of adjustments have paid off. Coach Hollier's response is slow.
The moment he saw Pires scoring, George jumped up on the sidelines. This ball is too timely. George doesn't want to play overtime, so the player's physical strength is greatly affected. It is not conducive to Blackburn's performance in the league and the Champions League.
Now that he has scored, George is finally relieved.
Hum! Coach Holler, don't look like you've been a coach for 20 years, but you can't!
It's good to know that caution is good, but it's not good to be too cautious and conservative. Especially in such an important game, sometimes it takes a breath. Although morale is difficult to explain, important games require this kind of morale.
If you withdraw by yourself, it is to break your hands and feet. There is no reason not to lose!
One goal behind, Hollier is anxious again. He replaced Harman with Husky and wanted to attack.
George is not the kind of person who doesn't know the depth of heaven and earth. He immediately let Hargreaves go back to the right. He became a four-back again. Even Miku pulled back, in the same position as Deco.
Up to now, Liverpool is also going to risk it.
There are no rules, just all kinds of long-term hanging.
George was worried on the sidelines and watched the ball fly around in his penalty area. However, Blackburn was not just beaten. After grabbing the ball, he immediately counterattacked. Another Deko's long pass even caused a single-knife ball to Drogba.
Drogba's speed is not slow. He just left the defenders and took the ball forward.
Unfortunately, Drogba's shot was too bad. Unexpectedly, he hit Westwade with a kick. George actually did a good job of celebrating, but when he saw Drogba's shot, he immediately scolded with a wry smile. Evan, let Didier practice shooting when he goes back. Practice hard for me. I'm so pissed off."
But this is just a joke.
"Dududu--"
With the whistle of the referee, the whole game was over.
The 2001 League Cup final is finally over. Blackburn defeated Liverpool 3-0 and won the first League Cup title in Blackburn's history. Congratulations to Blackburn!"
"George, this is his second League Cup title. Congratulations to George, who is only 32 years old. This is George's fifth cup championship in his coaching career. Maybe George is a head coach who is good at cup games.
"Finally, let's congratulate Blackburn again!"
