464 ambition
With ten minutes left in the game, Milan wanted to attack.
Unfortunately, they don't have much physical strength to support their attack. Pancaro is not only Pancaro on this side. Even Sedorf has been firmly restrained.
And Cafu was also forced by Pires to move forward boldly.
Although Milan's attack relies more on Pirlo and Rui Costa in the middle. Of course, the role of Sedorf is also quite large. The role of the two sides cannot be ignored.
Now the two sides can't play, which means that the offensive threat is half less.
And Rui Costa, although occasionally there are some flashes of inspiration. But in the face of Essien's strong back, there is nothing he can do.
Rui Costa's strength has really declined too much now.
In the face of Essien, who has good physical strength, good health and fierce feet, it is almost impossible to create any threat.
On the contrary, Blackburn's attack has always been excellent.
George replaced Klose with Drogba. Although Klose didn't score, he held down Nesta. He has completed his task perfectly.
To let Drogba play, George wants to use Drogba's impact to hit the current Milan's defense line.
Sure enough, after Drogba came on the stage, the pressure of Nesta and Maldini soared. Klose used his consciousness and ran to put pressure on them. Then Drogba is a tank, a completely frontal collision, which makes it difficult for them to deal with.
Because Drogba is so strong.
The game passes by minute by minute. Just one ball, one ball!
As long as there is one ball, Milan can drag the game into overtime. But a ball is so difficult at this time.
Seeing that the Milan offensive gradually came up, George replaced the excellent Ribery with Parker. The defense really started.
When Ribery came off the court, all the Blackburn fans stood up and applauded him. Because Ribery performed so well today. Fans who didn't know Ribery before understood that after this game, another young genius appeared in Blackburn.
Please remember this young man. Twenty-one-year-old Frank. Ribery. What does it mean to become famous overnight? This is to become famous overnight. Ribery, you have become famous! It's really famous! Congratulations, young man. Your future is bright."
"Keep your current performance, and the door of the French national team will open to you. Work hard, young man!"
Mortson praised Ribery with emotion.
Even George is Ribery who stands on the sidelines to greet the end. Seeing Ribery coming, George stretched out his hand and patted him.
"Well done, Frank. You prove with your performance that you are qualified to stay.
Although he has been in the locker room at halftime, he has praised Ribery. But George still felt that it was not enough, because Ribery performed really well. It is estimated that one more season, Ribery will really be able to become his main player.
At this time, with Parker, George's intention is already quite obvious. George just wants to keep the current score.
Added the defense of the middle, and Alonso, Parker and Essien formed a defensive line in front of the defender in the middle. Kaka and Pires are in front, waiting for a chance to fight back.
Time flies.
It's time to make up soon!
Blackburn fans have been singing songs to cheer for the team.
At the last minute of stoppage time, they even began to count down.
60 Van der Sar took the ball, then put it and adjusted it again. He retreated far away, and when the referee was about to lose his patience, he gently passed it to Lucio in front of him.
Van der Sar is very experienced.
Even if it is a waste of time, it is within the patience of the referee's yellow card.
Lucio took the ball, saw Shevchenko approaching, and handed it to Sun Jihai on the right. Then Sedorf's forced robbery, and Sun Jihai kicked out.
With such a waste, more than 20 seconds of time has passed.
The fans on the court have shouted to 38.
Drogba got the ball. He knocked the ball back to Kaka in the middle. Kaka handed the ball to Pires on the left.
Pure is an old fox, and even playing football is quite cunning.
Not to mention the current situation.
Pure took the ball all the way to the sideline and then stopped there. Protect the ball with your body and don't let Kafu get it. Pires is delaying the game in this way.
3130 With the shouts of the fans over the stadium, the Milan players are also anxious.
You are a skilled offensive player who doesn't want to attack. Instead of protecting the ball near the sideline, it is difficult for defenders to grab the ball.
It's still Gattuso's surname Ge Shuangli. There is no way to grab the ball with Pires like Cafu. Instead, he went straight over and bumped out with the ball.
The referee's whistle reminded that it was a foul.
The shouts of 2726 fans continued.
Get a free kick, and Blackburn players are certainly slower. Alonso, who took this free kick, slowly came to the ball and played with the ball well. Some actions were a waste of ten seconds.
Alonso looked like he was going to serve a free kick with his big foot, but he didn't expect a short pass to be given to Pires on the side.
Pure repeated his old tricks again.
In the end, even Pirlo, who had a good temper, couldn't help it. He tackled the ball and directly put Pires down.
Time passes in the process of this pause.
3,2,1 With the shouts of the fans, the referee also sounded the end of the game.
The whole Ewood Park is full of cheers.
Congratulations to George, congratulations to Blackburn. They defeated Milan 2-0 at home and entered the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League with a total score of 2-2. Since playing in the UEFA Champions League in the 00-01 season, Blackburn has been able to appear in the group stage every year. Two quarterfinals, one Champions League champion, and this time it's the top four of the Champions League.
"In the past four years, except for Real Madrid, Blackburn's Champions League record has been the most stable. Congratulations to George for entering the quarter-finals of the Champions League. After entering the knockout stage, George first eliminated Juventus and then Milan. On the way to promotion, the opponents are quite tough.
"The score of another venue also came, and Porto drew Lyon 2-0 on the road. They entered the top four with a total score of four to two. Blackburn's opponent became Porto.
"As long as you defeat Porto, Blackburn will be able to reach the Champions League final."
Although Porto is now full of dark horse posture. But Mortson is already full of confidence in Blackburn's victory over Porto to reach the Champions League final.
Yes, don't watch Porto enter the top four of the UEFA Champions League.
But in the eyes of many European footballers, it's just that Porto is lucky.
Compared with Blackburn's strong team in the Champions League for several seasons, it is completely incomparable. In people's opinion, since they have eliminated big teams such as Juventus and Milan, Porto is even more a problem.
George is also very excited. Celebrate with Blanco next to him.
The most embarrassing thing now is the Italian reporter.
He shouted quite loudly before the game. They are all looking forward to Milan's lesson to Blackburn. Makes you look down on Italian football? Let you underestimate the Serie A?
But as a result, Milan was eliminated.
Blackburn took turns in the Champions League, except that he did not play against Inter, the other strong Serie A teams took turns. Blackburn's advantage over the Serie A team is too obvious. At the thought of George's unreasonable surname, many Italian journalists consciously stayed away from George.
Because they really don't want to hear George count Italian football again.
So this time most Italian journalists are surrounded by Ancelotti.
Without Italian journalists, there are still a huge number of journalists around George. Needless to say, English reporters and football journalists from various European countries gathered around George. Of course, there is no shortage of journalists from China.
"Coach Levy, how does it feel to enter the top four of the Champions League?"
It's a very regular problem.
George shrugged his shoulders. The victory of all the games makes me very happy.
"Coach Levy, Blackburn has now entered the quarterfinals of the Champions League. Do you have any prospects for the UEFA Champions League this season?
George looked at the reporter with a smile. The seemingly ordinary question is actually asked by a reporter who knows George very well.
"Champion!"
George gently spit out his thoughts.
"Oh--" Although many reporters have already thought of it, George couldn't say it himself, which still made many reporters excited.
In fact, this is the point. George will never hide his ambitions again.
When he first entered the knockout stage, George kept a low profile. The slogan of the championship was not publicly shouted, just to reduce the burden on the players and the hostility of other European strong teams. But now, if you don't shout out, you will weaken your momentum.
George watched the excited reporter raise his hand. The reporter was very cooperative with George. He stopped and looked at George.
"Champion, Champions League champion. I'm bound to win. We Blackburn will definitely win the Champions League this season. No one can stop us, neither Juventus, nor Milan, let alone Porto!"
In George's words, he showed strong self-confidence.
The reporters around George were very excited. It seems that this issue has been written again.
But they didn't question George. Because George is qualified to be so strong now. Who makes Blackburn's opponent in the knockout stage is the strongest. Juventus and Milan are recognized as strong teams in Europe.
But so what.
He was eliminated by Blackburn one after another.
George is qualified to be so confident.
"Okay, journalists and gentlemen. When we win the Champions League, let you interview at will. At that time, I will never allow any restrictions on the players.
