376 The final is in sight
"Two to zero, two to zero. Blackburn has fully entered the Champions League final with one foot. What if Manchester United can equalize the score in the second half? Blackburn still has two away goals, and it seems that it is difficult for Manchester United to equalize the score.
"I really didn't expect it."
Martin at halftime. Taylor, I can't believe the score on the court.
This is not like Manchester United, the Premier League hegemon who once ruled British football.
"Yes, it's only four years. I think of Blackburn, who was scored eight goals by Arsenal and almost collapsed. And George, who is about to finish class. In just four years, Blackburn has made such changes.
Andy. Gray also shook his head.
Blackburn's rise is too fast. Many people in the British football world are dazzling. In just four years, Blackburn jumped from a relegation team to a champion who could compete with Manchester United and Arsenal.
Not only did they grab two Premier League championships from Manchester United and Arsenal, but now they are leading Manchester United 1-0 away in such an important game in the Champions League semi-finals.
This is terrible.
The rise of Blackburn is like a myth.
"Four years. Ha ha, George was the new head coach of British football four years ago, but now he has become a world famous coach. Four years, whether it's short or long.
The two of them stood up and were ready to take a rest.
After the little Mike was turned off, Martin. Taylor just smiled and Andy. Gray said, "Do you think Ferguson is really old?"
This is Martin. The question Taylor has always wanted to ask.
It's really because Manchester United's performance this season is too poor. In the Premier League, Blackburn reached 20 points behind. And in such a heavyweight match as the Champions League semi-final, it is so vulnerable.
Martin. Taylor really doesn't want to admit that Ferguson is old. But this problem has been bothering him.
As a veteran host, Martin. Taylor's feelings for Ferguson are complicated. It's not true that you like Ferguson. Because of Martin. Taylor is not a Manchester United fan, let alone a Ferguson fan. However, both of them are great figures in British football, and they have a good friendship.
Of course, as a senior commentator in British football, Ferguson is an era for them. In the past ten years of the Premier League, the Premier League has been up and over the air, but the most indispensable in it is Ferguson. Ferguson's influence can be reflected in all aspects of British football.
But in recent years, Ferguson's Manchester United has significantly reduced its competitiveness. Especially in the five seasons after Wenger joined Arsenal, Manchester United only won one Premier League title. Instead, Arsenal won two and Blackburn won two championships.
And in the last two seasons, Manchester United has achieved nothing for two consecutive years.
This has to make Martin. Taylor came up with this idea. Is Ferguson really old? It's time to retire.
However, as a senior commentator, of course, such words cannot be said in the game. That's why I privately with my old partner Andy. Gray speaks.
"Old? Not necessarily." Andy. Gray shook his head. Ferguson is not an ordinary person. Maybe there are too many championships, and there may be no motivation now.
The two old partners left the live studio as they spoke.
Of course, George didn't know what the two people said in private. But if George hears it, he must refute them.
Is Ferguson old? Although George said this, it was just what he said during the war of words. If anyone says in front of George that Ferguson is old, soon the Premier League will be the world of you young people. George must have kicked him twice and spit twice.
Grandma, you are a bear! George doesn't know what other people think. But George knew that Ferguson, the older he was, the more evil he became. In the future, he will dance in European football for more than ten years. And as long as Ferguson is in the position of Manchester United, no strong team in Europe dares to ignore Manchester United.
Will Ferguson grow old?
George can't wait for Ferguson to get out of the British football world. But this is unrealistic.
But at this time, George had already praised his players in the locker room. Because the first half was so beautiful. Two to zero, which is ten thousand times better than George thought.
George didn't change his style of play. He played so well in the first half that George had to adapt to changes. Unless the situation changes on the court, George will never easily change his tactical style in the first half.
During the half-time break, George found out when the Manchester United players came out. Manchester United players are all blushing. It is estimated that Ferguson's hair dryer aimed at them fiercely in the locker room.
After the start of the second half, Manchester United's style of play has not changed much.
Their biggest change is that the pace is much faster.
The running between the front court is much faster, and the passing is also the kind of straight pass. This is in line with Manchester United's playing style. Manchester United is originally the kind of playing style of opening and closing. However, Manchester United's attack is not as sharp as before.
And Blackburn's side is still very simple.
The attack is even more concise. Basically, they are all big feet in the backcourt, looking for Drogba. Drogba's self-confidence also came up, and he was completely alone in the front court. It's very uncomfortable for Woodgate and Brown.
If it is a head-on defense of Drogba, it is estimated that either of the two people can bring it out and let Drogba return.
But now when the ball arrives in Drogba, it is a high-altitude bombing. In fact, Woodgate and Brown are also very good at this kind of high-altitude ball.
Brown and Woodgate are the most typical England central defenders. The front shoveling ability is very strong, and the control of the high-altitude ball is even more unique. But who made them so unlucky that they met Drogba. Even if they met Klose, they would not be so unlucky.
Clozzi's header is more due to his amazing jumping power and judgment ability of high-altitude balls. Although with outstanding consciousness, Klose's header is completely the Premier League champion. But Brown and Woodgate can still rely on their position and body to withstand Klose and prevent Klose from holding the ball comfortably.
But Drogba's high-altitude ball is completely based on his warcraft-like body and bounce. Even if he sometimes has a problem standing, he will rely on his body to squeeze out the defender. This is a completely insoluble way of playing.
Unless it is the body of the central defender, as perverted as Drogba.
Unfortunate, Brown and Woodgate are not such central defenders. Therefore, every time a high-altitude ball appears, it will be controlled by Drogba.
Drogba is very obedient. After getting the ball, you will never do it. Instead, it will be handed over to the receiving Miku or Kaka immediately. Miku's performance was very calm, because there were only three points in the front court. Drogba, Miku and Kaka.
Needless to say, Drogba's skills are in a mess. Kaka is not the kind of player who can control the ball slowly. He is a dagger and will see blood as soon as he comes out. Therefore, Miku is very needed in the frontcourt attack.
Miku's ball control is indeed excellent. Even if it is as good as Manchester United, it is not easy to break the ball at Miku's feet.
The same goes for Keane.
At most, Keane is to prevent Miku from breaking through easily. But even Keane can't break the ball under Miku's feet. Therefore, as long as Miku takes the ball, he can always attract several players. And Miku can always find the passing point from among them.
Miku is getting stronger and stronger, and the ball control, pass and vision are fully mature.
When I first arrived at the Premier League, I met the defenders in the Premier League and always lost the ball. Because they don't give you a little chance to take it easy. As long as you slow down a little, they will immediately reach out and grab the ball.
But now Miku has fully adapted to the Premier League defender.
In this way, Manchester United's attack has been thunderous. Blackburn's counterattack was to attract blood. Although there were few people, it made Manchester United's defense not careless at all.
In the second half, George sat completely in the middle of the seat and crossed his legs, which was very comfortable.
The more I watch Drogba George, the more I like it.
No wonder the future Drogba can carry Chelsea's offensive flag alone. The defensive counterattack put Drogba alone outside. Drogba's ability to rampage in the front court is too strong.
Now Drogba is just an immature player. It can make Manchester United's defense a mess. Not to mention what will happen to Drogba once he matures. George drooled when he thought about it.
At that time, I will have Klose on the left and Drogba on the right. I envy those rich clubs in world football.
The game passes by minute by minute.
Manchester United is in a hurry. Manchester United players are really anxious.
Zero to two, this is a score that they absolutely can't accept.
But they are so anxious that they don't care about defense at all. They want to attack, attack, and then attack.
Their offensive was fierce, but George was happier. Because Manchester United is really red now, the two full-back players came up to assist. They are playing completely desperately, but the space in the rear is getting bigger and bigger.
The counterattack space left for Blackburn is getting bigger and bigger.
Sure enough, in the 79th minute of the game, Blackburn got another chance to fight back.
It's Kaka in the middle again, and this time Kaka has no scruples. Because Manchester United's defense line is completely empty, and it has reached a three-to-two situation. Kaka on the left, Drogba on the right, and Miku on the middle.
In this situation, how could Blackburn let go?
Kaka has been breaking through on the left side, and Brown has been defending Kaka. This time, Kaka was also not reckless, but gently knocked back. Miku, who followed in the middle, did not let go of this opportunity.
The follow- up shot once again broke Batz's goal.
Three to zero, this goal completely set the foundation for the world.
Even if Manchester United loses 3-0 away from home, it will be difficult to turn the game back at home. What's more, it's now a zero-to-three defeat at home.
"Miku, it's Miku! 3-1, 3-1, away. Manchester United has almost no hope of turning over. Blackburn's final is in sight.
