456 grind Juventus down
But George didn't have much time to think about the Alpine Stadium in Juventus, because the game began.
George's purpose in this game is very simple. It is to keep the advantage of two balls. Look at Blackburn's starting lineup and you can fully understand.
Of course, the goalkeeper is Van der Sar.
There is no change in the defense line. The biggest change is the midfield.
George withdrew Pires and Miku in the middle and used the three-back formations of Alonso, Parker and Essien. In front are Kaka, Klose and Drogba.
After the game began, Drogba and Klose were involved in the defense. They began to disturb the opponent's pass in the midfield on the front line. Then there are the midfielders of Alonso, Essien and Parker, and their task is even simpler.
is to keep intercepting in the midfield.
Alonso, Essien and Parker are all midfielders with a large defensive coverage. Using their running ability, George covered almost everything in the 30- to 40-meter area of Blackburn.
The game was very dull.
In the midfield, Blackburn and Juventus are constantly entangled. I'll shovel you, you shovel me.
Lippi has been found.
George deserves to be the coach who claims to only care about the result. After the last game, Lippi thought it was fabricated by the media. In the last game, Blackburn played much better than Juventus. Lippi has an illusion.
Is Blackburn the representative of art football?
But this game completely subverted Lippi's idea. It's deeply ridiculous to have that kind of idea.
Bullshit art football?
Look, Blackburn's Warcraft Drogba is a striker. He is a complete defensive player, almost crazy to grab the ball in the front court. Juventus defender slows down a little, and Drogba will rush up like crazy.
Not only Drogba, but also Klose.
Klose is relatively more slod. Most of his defense is a nuisance, unlike Drogba. Drogba and the defender are not separated. They touch the ball slowly and do not hesitate to tackle.
You can imagine what a striker looks like when he tackles in the front court.
Lippi has seen many teams play defensive counterattacks. But I've never seen George's defense that makes the strikers play with his life. At this time, there is no striker like Drogba who doesn't hesitate to defend.
Lippi is an eye-opener today.
In the whole Blackburn, only one person is not so crazy to defend. That's Kaka.
George also wants to leave Kaka's physical strength and fight back. Kaka's speed is absolute. In the counterattack, Kaka is a very important player.
Ugly game!
This is the idea of all Juventus fans and all the media that pay attention to this strong dialogue.
The game is too ugly.
Over the years, there have been many ugly games in the Champions League knockout stage. But it's really rare to be as ugly as this game. They felt helpless about George's shamelessness.
You Blackburn's dignified fight against Juventus, and you also have a great chance to win.
In the last game, Blackburn defeated Juventus 2-0, and if it hadn't been for Buffon's excellent performance in that game, Blackburn would not have been 3 to zero and 4-0.
Since you are so powerful, why do you play such a shameless tactic?
This made them more and more contempt for George.
But George doesn't care what they think. George has only one goal. That is to enter the top eight of the Champions League.
In order to enter the quarter-finals of the Champions League, George didn't care at all.
The game is so stiff.
The game passed minute by minute, and the first half was soon over.
In the second half, George did not change his tactical idea at all. I'm willing to be a "shriveted turtle". What can you do to me?
Lippi is helpless. Even if the weak team plays intensive defense, it is not so easy to break. What's more, Juventus really don't have much choice for a strong European team like Blackburn to play such shameless tactics.
Juventus players are getting more and more anxious.
Because they attacked for 60 minutes, but there was still no change in the score on the score card. They began to despair, which was really desperate.
Two goals behind. After attacking for such a long time, the score has not been rewritten. On the contrary, Blackburn's counterattack frightened Juventus' defense. Kaka, who was named the best player in the first game, also frequently threatened Juventus in this game.
Speed, absolute speed.
There is a saying that the world's martial arts are only fast and unbreakable.
Although this sentence is a little absolute. But it doesn't make sense. Just like Owen, Bellamy, Henry, Carlos, and later Walcott, Bell and Lennon all have amazing speeds.
Once they run, few people in the back line can keep up with their speed.
With amazing speed, it will be very difficult to defend them.
And Kaka has that amazing speed. And more importantly, the combination of Kaka technology and speed is amazing.
Because Juventus' midfielder made every effort to attack. So once Kaka counterattacks, he will directly face Juventus' defense line. At this time, Kaka's speed is fatal.
With the passage of time, Juventus players are becoming more and more impatient.
If you are only one ball behind, it is still possible to pull it back. But now it's two goals behind, and there is no possibility no matter how you think about it. Under this gap, even the Juventus players began to despair. It's real despair.
This can be seen from their performance on the court.
They have lost the momentum of breaking the boat in the opening stage. Now they are attacking more and more blind, passing more and less powerless, and running less and less.
George understood when he saw this.
UEFA Champions League quarterfinals, Black was the original.
The game entered the last ten minutes, and soon various drama scenes appeared. In the first 80 minutes, players such as Drogba and Essien suddenly became weak. If you are touched by a Juventus player, you will fall to the ground and roll in pain.
Otherwise, it will be all kinds of cramps.
Even George off the court can't see it.
If you let Pires and Miku cramp or be knocked to the ground in more than 80 minutes, it is still acceptable. If it is Heleb and Arshavin, there will be no problem.
But look at Blackburn's players on the field now.
They are all big guys. Alonso, Parker, Essin, Drogba, Lucio, Riese, Sanior, Campbell, none of whom are players with good physical fitness in the Premier League.
Drogba, in particular, is already famous in European football.
Drogba's name of Warcraft is also in the rage. European football knows that Blackburn has a physically perverted Warcraft. Such a player, you fall to the ground when you are hit by a Juventus player, who will believe it?
Fans at the Alpine Stadium booed everywhere.
They are very dissatisfied with the blatant procrastination of Blackburn players. At least you should have some strong team demeanor. It's already two balls leading. Even if you don't play this little trick, there should be no problem.
But it's such a low-level and obscene way to play.
However, the boos of Juventus fans are not enough to shake the determination of Blackburn players to perform. They still keep falling and cramps. Anyway, as long as they can delay the time, they use it.
At the beginning, Juventus players also complained to the referee.
But in the end, the Juventus players were numb. If you love acting, just keep acting. We don't care anymore.
Although there were a lot of performances, the referee saw the situation on the court and only had three minutes of make-up time. This is a fairly regular make-up. In fact, in theory, even if it is added for five or six minutes, there is no problem.
But the referee looks at the situation on the court, whether it is Blackburn or Juventus, hoping that the game will end soon.
So the referee was very humane and only made up for three minutes.
"Dududu--"
When the time came, the referee's whistle also sounded.
Congratulations to George, congratulations to Blackburn. They defeated Juventus 2-0 in the two rounds, and they have already entered the quarterfinals of the Champions League. This is Blackburn's four consecutive seasons in the Champions League.
"There are no highlights in this game. Blackburn defeated Juventus in the way of Juventus, and the whole game was extremely dull. However, Blackburn used such a dull game to draw with Juventus ero away from home and entered the quarterfinals.
"Like George's evaluation of Juventus, the strength of Juventus has declined too much. If they want to become a strong European team again, it is necessary to make up. At the same time, you can abandon their sense of superiority and start from scratch.
Martin. Taylor congratulated Blackburn for breaking into the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League.
At the same time, Martin. Taylor also warned Juventus. It's a warning, but there is still a trace of sarcasm in it.
Don't look at Martin. Taylor is a famous European football commentator. He plays an important role in the whole European football world, but he is an English football commentator. Therefore, it must be the maintenance of the English Club.
At this time, Blackburn players are also celebrating. They don't care whether this is Juventus' home or not, they celebrate to their heart's content.
George also didn't care about the feelings of Lippi next to him.
Rush into the field and celebrate with the players.
Juventus fans who had not yet left the stadium saw Blackburn's unscrupulously celebration, so they booed Blackburn.
"Coach Levy..."
"Coach Levy, do you have any ideas about the top eight opponents?"
"Coach Levy, do you have anything to say about entering the quarterfinals?"
A group of reporters don't care whether this is Juventus' home court or not, surrounding George. As for Lippi, who are you? Now that they have failed, they are not qualified to be praised by everyone.
At this time, only a few Italian journalists asked Lippi some questions.
And most Italian journalists are now next to George.
"The top eight is just the first step. It's nothing." George was in a good mood, so he replied with a smile. As for the top eight opponents, I don't care. Of course, if there is a weaker team, I will be happier. But in the quarterfinals, there is no weak team. It's all strong teams, so the effect is the same for anyone who draws it.
George's words didn't mean anything.
But in the reporter's opinion, George doesn't pay attention to the strong European teams at all.
George's image is too bad in the eyes of their reporters.
Even if George didn't mean that, they would think about it in other ways. If George knew, he must have shouted innocently, "I'm not a gray wolf!"
