Chapter 194 United with Leeds

Leeds United's offense is simple, and in rainy weather, this offense is more effective.

Use two wide crosses, and then find Hasselbaink.Hasselbaink controls the first point. If he can't control it, he will hand it over to the middle, giving Smith and Bowyer a chance to score.

According to Leeds United's original style of play, it was the midfielder Bowyer who went through the needle.Then near the penalty area, he used Smith's outstanding ball control and passing to create opportunities.Hasselbaink, on the other hand, is a powerful center and a prolific forward.There have always been many goals.

The strength of the two wings is also good, of course, the strength of Kewell on the left is the most outstanding.Whether it is speed, technique or even crossing and shooting, they all have their own distinctive style.

And George is head-to-head at all. In this game, he did not control the ball in the midfield like before.Instead, he poured the ball quickly and handed it to the two wingers.This time George put Bellamy on the right and Duff on the left.Both of these two are speed players, and George is aiming at the fact that the two wide players of Leeds United are not fast.

In the middle, George withdrew Micoud, but used a combination of Deco, Hargreaves and Makelele.

Makelele stood in the defensive position, Hargreaves swept the midfield, and Deco was the commander of the midfield.The task George gave Deco was very simple.Not to let him control the ball, but to make reasonable use of the opportunity to pass to the two wings.

Miku was a little tired because he had played too many games.So George let him take a break.Moreover, the rainy weather also had some impact on Miku's performance.

O'Reilly was very surprised by George's formation today. Not only did he go to Bellamy, but Miku didn't appear in the starting lineup.O'Reilly was caught off guard.

Because of the importance of this game, O'Reilly has always believed that George will send all the main players.The team was also practiced according to Blackburn's main force, but George's starting lineup was unexpected.

"George's starting lineup seems to surprise O'Reilly." After watching the game for nearly 10 minutes, Martin Taylor shook his head.

"Don't talk about O'Reilly, even I never thought that George would be so bold. Miku, the core of Blackburn's offense, is now sitting on the bench. Look at Leeds United's defense, David Batty is dedicated to defense Miku’s. Otherwise, Barty hasn’t played a few times since he came to Leeds United, so how could he play today.”

Andy Gray looked at David Batty's awkward position and smiled.David Batty did play to defend Micoud, but Micoud did not play.Deco's technical style is completely different from that of Micoud. His position is more backward, and he uses medium and long passes to adjust the rhythm of the game.

David Batty can't rush forward to defend Deco. In that case, there will be a distance between the center and the defense, and there will be gaps.But it's no use staying behind all the time.

"Look at Bellamy again, how well this young man performed. Hart really suffered in this match. Bellamy didn't confront Hart at all, and used his speed to wade through."

Faced with the unexpected starting lineup of Blackburn, Leeds United did not adjust in time, or O'Reilly did not have time to adjust at the beginning of the game.No adjustments, just use the original method to deal with the current Blackburn, how can there be no problems?
Duff ran to the left, and Hart on the right defended Duff's series of preparations, which was useless against Bellamy.

Especially for a player with abnormal speed like Bellamy, Hart's defense is full of loopholes.The most uncomfortable thing now is Batty in the midfield. He wants to support the wing but is afraid of defending in the middle.

"Deco distributed the ball to the left, Duff got the ball...Duff followed up, a beautiful breakthrough, and now Duff is getting more and more general! Duff rushed in, he passed to the center...De Coe didn't stop the ball and gave it to the right. The ball went straight past the Leeds United defense. Bellamy got the ball... Wow, this speed is too fast. Hart can't keep up with Bellamy's speed!"

"Bellamy has already gone in, the front is flat, what will he choose?"

Bellamy was not born as a winger.So when he catches the ball past Hart, he doesn't go along the sideline.Instead, like a winger, he cut in directly.All this surprised Leeds United's defense, although they knew Bellamy's speed was fast.But Bellamy, who gained speed, was no different from a [-]-meter sprinter.

It was still Radebe's quick reaction, and he retreated straight to stand in the penalty area.

Although because of Radebe's quick retracement, the shooting angle is already very small.But Bellamy deserves to be a striker. If it is Duff or Pires, he will pass the ball.Because in the current penalty area, there is Klose as the front point, Duff on the left, and Deco who plugs in from the back.But Bellamy didn't care about it and shot directly.

"Bellamy! Shoot!"

"Beautiful, such a small angle, it actually hit it."

"It was Bellamy's first goal at Blackburn. Leeds were caught off guard by George's move. There was absolutely no way Hart could defend Bellamy."

"Bellamy, a player who was bought by George for 380 million pounds, performed really well. George did not spend the money wrongly."

After seeing the goal, Bellamy yelled at Leeds United goalkeeper Martin in the opponent's penalty area.No scruples, this is Leeds United's restricted area.Then he ran to the camera and opened his mouth and yelled.

Seeing Bellamy's goal, George also jumped up from his seat.

Go first and the game will be easy.All the pressure went to O'Reilly.George couldn't help pumping his fist several times, he was so excited.George does not believe that the young players of Leeds United can withstand the pressure, they will definitely collapse.Will!

"George, we will definitely go to the UEFA Cup next season." Evan beside him was also quite excited.

"Yes, I will definitely go."

O'Reilly had already made a terrible move in the starting lineup, and now he was one goal behind, and he was very anxious.He was anxious, and the Leeds United players were even more anxious.The Blackburn players played more and more smoothly and smoothly.

Deco's control of the ball in the midfield is getting better and better, and his passing is getting more and more comfortable.

"Look, Deco's performance. As expected of a player from Brazil, his skills are outstanding. I heard that George started applying for Portuguese citizenship for Deco half a year ago. Burnley is a failure. If George stays Burnley, Deco is their player."

"Compared to Burnley, Benfica will beat their feet and chest. Such a good player, they don't cherish it at all. Although it has not been announced, it is heard that Deco's transfer price is only about 30 pounds. It's the price of cabbage."

"George's vision of seeing people is really unparalleled. Before he came to England, Deco played in the Portuguese second-tier league. Deco is a player of Benfica, but Benfica doesn't value Deco at all. Instead, let him play in the second-tier league. Exercise. It was George who recognized heroes with his eyesight. He took a fancy to Deco and brought him to Blackburn. At the beginning of the season, Deco was ridiculed by many media, but George unswervingly gave Deco a main position. Now Deco Coe began to repay George's trust and look at his calm performance on the court. If this performance continues, maybe he can be selected for the Brazilian national team."

Martin Taylor and Andy Gray highly praised Deco's performance.Although Deco does not have the dazzling skills of Brazilian players, his foundation is still very good.It is not so easy to steal the ball from his feet.

Moreover, although Deco's pass is not so gorgeous and ecstasy, it is simple and has a murderous intent.The second point of control after plugging in is also very good.

Deco's physical strength is also good, covering almost all midfielders.Catching and passing the ball everywhere, Blackburn's offense and defense are impressive.

Just as George thought, the Leeds United players began to worry.

They also now know that Blackburn and Leeds United are competing for a place in the UEFA Cup. This game is an important game that cannot be more important.It caused them to be very anxious.

Especially the midfielder Bowyer, who turned out to have a bad temper.Depressed, his temper became even worse. After being passed by Deco, he shoveled directly behind the back and was warned by the referee with a yellow card.If it weren't for his mercy, Bowyer would have been sent off by the referee in the first half.

When they were in a hurry, they blindly wanted to attack, and even forgot what O'Reilly had arranged before the game.George likes playing against opponents like this the most.

Before the end of the first half, Sagnol stepped forward and made a beautiful cross. Klose beat England star Woodgate and scored the second goal of the game.It was also Klose's sixth goal of the season.

George ended the first half with a two-goal advantage.

For the entire game, George was already full of confidence.Leeds United is already in a mess, and O'Reilly is not the kind of coach who is very strong on the spot.I was completely stunned by George's starting lineup, and there was no corresponding change.

In the second half, O'Reilly replaced David Batty, who was in an awkward position, and replaced him with Ribeiro.O'Reilly was also anxious and began to dispatch troops.The defense line also began to move forward.

George watched O'Reilly adjust the midfield and immediately replaced Klose with Pires.It then pushed Bellamy up the front line, with Pires back on the left and Duff on the right.

Blackburn's overall team began to recuperate. Pires is nominally a left midfielder, but more is to help the midfielder control the ball.There was only one Bellamy left in the frontcourt, and he was used to counterattack.

With Bellamy, Leeds United's defense did not dare to move forward.After all, Bellamy's speed is too abnormal.

And after Pires came on the field, playing with Bellamy in midfield is a completely different style.Pires' technique is far better than Bellamy's, and his ball-handling ability is no worse than Deco's.Replacing David Batty, O'Reilly is to better attack.

It's a pity that without David Batty, a defensive midfielder, Deco has become more presumptuous.And Pires also often attacked the original position guarded by David Batty.

Less than 10 minutes into the second half, it was Bellamy who received a pass from Pires again and threw away all the defenders with his speed.Finally, after passing the goalkeeper together, he scored his second goal in the game.
