453 Juventus, correct

"Hario, everyone, this is the one-eighth knockout match of the Champions League. It is also the first time that there is a top 16 game in the Champions League. The two sides of the game are Blackburn and Juventus. Blackburn and Juventus were the league champions of their respective leagues last season.

"Let's take a look at the starting lineup of both sides. Juventus' starting lineup is goalkeeper Buffon, defenders are Birindelli, Lerotale, Montero, Zambrotta, midfielders are Camoranesi, Tachinati, Apia, Nedvede, and the front line is Piero and Trezeguet.

Blackburn's starting lineup is a little interesting. The goalkeeper is Van der Sar, the defenders are Riese, Lucio, Campbell, Sanior, the midfielders are Pierre, Alonso, Miku, Kaka, and the front line is Klose and Drogba.

"Juventus' platoon is regular. It was 4-3-1-2, and Nedvid was behind the two strikers.

"And George is abnormal today. With two strikers, Klose and Drogba both appeared in the starting list. The midfielder removed Essien's defensive back. Is George really a little flustered and thinks that Juventus can be defeated so easily? There is no need to defend in the midfield.

Martin. Taylor said in a questionable tone.

For the players sent by Blackburn, Martin. Taylor does have some doubts. In the past, George often played with his double back. Alonso and Hargreaves have been the partners of Alonso and Essien since Hargreaves was injured.

But in the face of Juventus, a strong enemy, George withdrew a back and went to a striker.

It's surprising no matter how you think about it.

"Dududu--"

With the whistle of the referee, the eighth quarter-final of the 2004 UEFA Champions League finally started at Ewood Park.

After the game began, Blackburn did not have any temptation for Juventus and directly began to attack.

Yes, Blackburn did not hesitate at all.

At home, in the cheers of the fans, they directly launched a fierce attack.

No one thought of this.

During the game, Lippi, who was ahead or behind, stood on the side of the court. Of course, his body did not have any movements and expressions, but just stood quietly watching the situation on the court.

Lippi is really surprised.

Lippi praised George before the game, hoping that George would be a little proud. It's better to attack with all your strength and forget to defend. But now Blackburn is indeed attacking with all his strength, but Lippi always feels that something is wrong.

Blackburn's playing style can now be seen. Among the three people in the front court, Miku was slightly behind, while Pires and Kaka stood behind Clozes and Drogba. This formation is very special, a bit like 4-1-1-2-2.

Yes, George did not let Miku, Pire and Kaka take the lead in this game, and each occupied a position. Instead, let Miku lean back, while Pires and Kaka are on top.

And Blackburn's attack is getting more and more fierce.

George is not a fledgling child. It won't be really fluttering because of Lippi's words. George chose this offensive style based on Juventus. In particular, Juventus' current midfield defense is not good.

Especially Apia.

Of course, Apia is very strong, otherwise it would not be possible to become the main player of Juventus. Apia is a defensive midfielder with agility and fierce interception. Lippi replaced Davis, who left Juventus with Apia.

Takinati occupies the midfield position, while Apia plays the left midfielder.

Davis is an all-round player who can go up and down. When attacking, you can plug it in at high speed on the left side, and even pass and shoot, all of which are fine. When defending, you can come back, which can not only help the left defender defend the side, but also intercept in the middle.

Davis is in the midfield, and he is like a perpetual motion machine that never goes out. Whether it's offensive or defensive, you can do a good job.

Unfortunate, Appia is different from Davis.

Appia's offensive strength is not as good as Davis's, and the defensive coverage and running ability are not as good as Davis's.

Therefore, Juventus' attack and defense are down one level compared with before.

Since there is something wrong with Juventus' midfield, George will certainly take advantage of this opportunity. That's why George released this kind of attack lineup.

But it works well.

Juventus' midfield can't stop Blackburn's attack.

Lippi's original idea was Nedvid, not only taking into account the attack, but also bothering Alonso. However, after Miku retreated slightly, although the threat at the front of the penalty area decreased a little. But it made Nedvid very embarrassed.

I don't know which one is better for defense.

Anyway, Blackburn's platoon was too unexpected for Juventus. They didn't think of it at all.

Just nine minutes after the start of the game, Blackburn organized another attack.

After Alonso took the ball, he made a medium-long pass and handed the ball to Pires in front of him. Pires's position in this game is very active and more flexible than Kaka. Kaka is more behind Klose and Drogba.

But Pires is left, middle and right, and he can go wherever he wants, just like a free man.

This time Pires received the ball on the right side.

Apia immediately came to defend Pires. Because Blackburn's attack was too fierce, A Pia made almost no contribution in this game. Or Apia's own offensive strength is limited, so he focuses more on defense.

When Pires saw Apia, he did not break through, but passed it back to Miku in the middle.

"...Pyre, he gave the ball to Miku."

The moment Miku took the ball, Alonso in the back came up to support Miku. Compared with Deco, Alonso has a gap in small technology. But in the long pass or the running range, it surpasses Deke. Alonso's running ability is very strong.

Alonso came forward and took Juventus' midfield defense.

Miku became the last midfielder in Blackburn.

"Miku, what will he do? Should I give it to Alonso next to me or Kaka in front of me... Miku, long pass!"

After Miku got the ball, it seemed that he was going to give it to Alonso, who supported him. But raising the foot is a long pass, which goes directly to the front.

"Klose, beautiful stop."

Yes, Miku's long pass was handed over to Klose in front of him. This was a long pass. Cloze came forward and stopped the ball with his chest and stopped at his feet. Montero has already caught up, but unfortunately, in the process of grabbing the high ball, Montero was leaned back by Cloz.

The moment Cloze took the ball, he did not control the ball. Instead, he passed the ball gently with his right foot and handed it to Drogba on the right.

Drogba is even simpler. With his huge body, he directly leaned the Lelota train in the back. There is no other way for Le Rotalie, and Le Rotalie can't be compared with Drogba at all. Therefore, Le Rotalle can only take a firm position and keep resisting Drogba, so that Drogba can't turn around easily.

However, after Drogba got the ball, he did not control the ball. Instead, it was a return, which was handed over to the card that had been plugged in.

Kaka got the ball near the penalty area.

This is a very dangerous area. Seeing Kaka raising his leg, Montero let go of Klose and came forward with a tackle. Because Kaka's shot at this angle is very dangerous.

But when Montero came up to tackle the ball, Kaka didn't shoot. Instead, with a slight pick, the ball passed over Montero and passed in. Kaka is now passing the ball in front of the penalty area, and he is more and more like Pires.

It's completely elusive. What's the next move of Kaka? And the passing is more hidden and accurate.

Kaka's pass this time passed over Montero and was just handed over to the unguarded Claude's feet.

"Kaka, this is a fake pass... Klose, Klose got the ball. There is no one to defend around Klose, Klose! Shoot!"

"Buffon, he couldn't hold the ball."

"One to zero. One to zero."

"Klose! Klose! Klose scored the first goal of the game, and Blackburn led Juventus 1-0.

The live commentator was very excited.

The knockout match is different from the general league. The league only needs to win, but the knockout is two games. Any goal is very important. A goal may sometimes determine the fate of the two teams.

"Who said that Blackburn no longer plays beautiful football."

"Look at the series of passes just now. Miku passed it to Klose, Klose passed it to Drogba, Drogba passed it to Kaka, and Kaka passed it back to Klose's feet. It's all passed on with one foot, and there is no pause in it.

"It's rare to see such a beautiful goal. Blackburn's frontcourt players have good foot skills and passing skills. Now no one can see how rough the technology under his feet was.

"George ** players do have a set."

"Now that the game has only played for ten minutes, Blackburn is already leading one to zero. Didn't George say that before the game? Lippi, is Lippi very good? Does Lippi have more championships than George? Ha ha ha!"

Martin. Taylor appreciates Blackburn's football.

And the fans of Ewood Park are completely immersed in joy. Cheers came one after another, and the whole Ewood Park was completely surrounded by the joy of the fans.

"Miro. Klose! Milo. Klose!"

Fans did not hesitate to praise Klose for the goal.

George stood on the sidelines and looked at Lippi next to him.

Of course, George knows that Juventus is the worst time in recent years. But George doesn't think it's a victory or anything. There may be some proud people who are willing to touch those powerful opponents and have a great sense of achievement to defeat them.

But George hopes that the weaker his opponent is, the better.

George is not crazy. Defeat the opponent, ** the opponent is the happiest thing.

Although he took a 1-0 lead, George still did not recycle. Instead, he made a gesture to continue the attack. George is going to completely defeat Juventus at home when Juventus is weak. In this way, there will be no accident when it comes to the away game.
