325 Spain

Cooper's face was cool, and he simply touched George.

Looking at Cooper's face, George shook his head. This is a good coach and a very strong coach. But if he is wrong, he should not coach in the wrong club at the wrong time. At the peak of Cooper's coaching career, going to Inter was a complete failure decision.

But this has nothing to do with George.

These well-known coaches in the arena are not one or two who have disappeared in front of everyone for various reasons.

Even Bosco, who now leads Real Madrid, would have disappeared from the public eye if he hadn't coached the Spanish national team later. What's more, Cooper?

Valencia is an alternative in Spanish football, and his style of play is deeply influenced by Italian coach Ranieri. The defensive counterattack of Italian football has a great impact on Valencia. Blackburn is also an alternative to the Premier League, and Blackburn's style of play is completely the model of continental Europe.

Therefore, after the game started, the scene became more dramatic.

So much so that the German commentator looked at the situation on the field and said with a smile, "Blackburn from the Premier League uses La Liga to control the rhythm of the field. Valencia in La Liga, on the other hand, counterattacked with the defense of Liga. It's really a strange thing."

It's true that the game doesn't look like a match between the Premier League and La Liga teams.

However, George definitely did not attack in this game. What is the best thing about Valencia? That's a counterattack.

Valencia's counterattack is very characteristic. Especially Keeley on the left side of the road. Gonzalez, this is a fast, skilled and excellent sideline player. When you fight back, you can see Keely. Gonzalez is as fast as the wind.

Of course, Valencia's midfield is also suitable for counterattack. The midfielder Baraja is an excellent defensive midfielder. And Mendieta is a talented midfielder that Spain and even the whole European football world can count at this time. He has good skills and excellent passing. He feels like a free man in the front court.

Amar goes without saying. It is characterized by fast and flexible, diligent running, good at rushing forward from the midfield, breakthrough is also as concise and practical as possible on top of speed, accurate short passes, and good at cooperation. It can be said that Aimar has all the skills of a forward player.

However, it does not mean that Valencia's midfielder has no shortcomings.

Mendieta and Aimar are excellent midfields and talented midfields. But neither of them contributed much to the defense. Especially Mendieta, although Valencia is a defensive counterattack. But Cooper is very indulgent to Mendie Tower.

If you defend this kind of dirty work, you won't let Mendieta do it.

Not to mention Aimar. A thin body, even if it is put into defense, will not be of great use.

Therefore, Valencia's defensive counterattack at this time depends more on the team's overall position. Compared with George's strong midfield defense when he was in Burnley.

So George must attack.

But because of Mendieta, Aimar and Keeley. Gonzalez, Juan. Sanchez has a strong ability to fight back. So George can't pour out.

George's choice of breakthroughs is the two sides of Valencia.

Caboni and Angloma are currently thirty-six years old. Speaking of which, their sports life expectancy is indeed extremely long. At the age of 36, it is really not easy to be the main force of a strong European team like Valencia.

George is not willing to come out, but also wants to attack. So you can only choose a few offensive points.

George's offensive investment was limited, and only a few people in the frontcourt participated in the attack. And the players in the midfield and backcourt don't move, especially Saniol on the right side against Keeley. Gonzalez attaches great importance to it. Don't dare to attack forward like other games.

Although it is this kind of attack, the effect is very good.

Pie and Duff are playing Kaboni and Angloma on the sidelines, which is very threatening.

The biggest advantage of Kaboni and Angeloma is their rich experience. Rich experience can make up for the decline in their physical fitness and become a main force with accurate card position and consciousness.

But none of this can completely make up for the fact that the two of them are already old.

Pyre and Duff are both at the best time in their careers. If Duff is still young, he is only 22 years old this year. So now Pires is completely at the peak of his career.

Pure, who is 28 years old this year, needs to have experience, strength and strength. In addition, 28 years old happens to be the peak age of a player.

Carboni can deal with Duff a little. But the situation on the other side is completely different.

Angloma is completely at a disadvantage in the face of Pires. Technology, Pires's technology is completely in the air. Speed, 36-year-old Angloma has no confrontation at all. Technology and speed are not good. Angloma can only block Pires with consciousness and prevent Pires from easily rushing into the penalty area.

But once there is a misjudgment, the right defense will be completely empty.

Valencia also tried to fight back, but Blackburn's defensive line would not be pressed out at all. All attacks were carried out by Miku, Pires, Duff and Klose. Even Deko shrank in at his own half, only a little forward when passing the ball.

This kind of offense and defense is actually very dangerous. Because the distance between the front and backcourt has increased, it is not only unable to help in attack, but also in defense. But it is most appropriate to play Valencia.

Cooper looked at Blackburn's very different way of playing and frowned.

In fact, Valencia's ability to attack is not bad. With Mendieta and Aimar, the midfielder does not lack creativity. But the way a team plays will not change easily. Valencia has always played defensive counterattacks, and it will be a problem for them to suddenly attack.

So Cooper is considering how to adjust it.

But Blackburn will not give you any opportunity to adjust.

In the 18 minutes of the game, Makelele stole Aimar's ball and handed it to Deco.

"Amar is not in good shape in this game. After recovering from the injury, the state has not been found yet.

After Deke got the ball, he did not pass the ball, but inserted it forward. This kind of front insertion of Deko is a change in Blackburn's attack. It's just that Deke's speed is a little slow. If it's faster, it will definitely catch the other party off guard.

"Deco, front insert... pass, Miku... Miku's pass, accurately found Pires!"

Deco's front insertion completely disrupted Valencia's midfield defense, but Deco did not continue to insert. Instead, he passed it to Miku in front of him, and Miku did not stop the ball. Miku leaned against Barraha and passed the ball with the instep of his right foot, and the ball flew very accurately to Pires's feet.

This kind of accurate pass makes commentators from all over the world marvel.

After Pires took the ball, he faced Angloma. Nearly 20 minutes of entanglement gave Pires enough understanding of Angloma. This is a very steady defender, and the general shaking is useless to him. But there is a disadvantage that Angloma is getting older after all.

Pires took the ball out with the instep of his left foot, but he pulled it back in an instant.

Angloma didn't make any action when Pires made an outward breakthrough. In his opinion, this was Pires's fake move. It was not until Pires pulled the ball back that his body moved. But at the same time, I found myself fooled.

It turned out that Pires did not pull the ball back, but just the movement of his body. When Angloma's body moved, Pires broke through from the outside line, and then bypassed the outside line and rushed into the penalty area before Angeloma could react.

Pires's series of actions completely shook off Angloma.

This series of actions is very short, but beautiful. And suddenly, Valencia's two central defenders did not think that Angeloma would be broken through so easily. Therefore, when Piret entered the penalty area, they had not yet stood in a defensive position.

But Pires has not given them this opportunity.

"...Pirre, broke through Angeloma... Passing the ball, it's Klose!"

Only Klose, who had a deep tacit understanding with Pires, was ready when Pires did the action. When Pires passed Angloma, Klose had already shaken away Ayala and Perrigrino. When Pires passed the ball to the penalty area, Clozzi was already facing goalkeeper Canizales alone.

Of course, Klose will not let go of this good opportunity. Facing the ball passed by, Klose made it overnight.

"Beautiful, Blackburn took a 1-0 lead in the first 20 minutes. This is an away goal, a valuable away goal. Valencia, their defense can't defend Blackburn. And their attack can't fight again.

"Blackburn is one step closer to the top four of the Champions League."

At this time, all English commentators certainly supported Blackburn. Martin. Taylor spoke highly of Blackburn's goal.

"The La Liga team is known as the best league. But when Blackburn scored such a goal, how can we tell which one is the La Liga club and which one is the Premier League club? Well done! Blackburn, you're in a very good state."

Facing nearly 40,000 Valencia fans, the thousands of Blackburn fans who came with the team were no less powerful than them.

George faced the Blackburn fans and kept clapping his hands. Thousands of fans followed him to the away game for the first time in George's coaching career. It feels very good to hear the cheers of thousands of fans on the road.

After Klose's goal came his standard flipping celebration. Then facing Pires, who was an assist, he wanted to celebrate together. But Pires shook his head and then made the move to polish Klose's shoes.

Clozzi was stunned, and it was the sixth year that Klose followed George to England. But this is the first time that someone wants this kind of celebration.

Klose's reaction is also very fast.

The celebration of Pires and Klose immediately made Blackburn fans in the stands shout the name of "Klose".

Proud as Pires, he has already thought that Klose is very strong and worthy of such a celebration.
