Chapter 222 Offensive, Offensive, and Offensive

Taking advantage of the home court advantage and momentum, Blackburn launched a fierce attack on Arsenal's hinterland from the beginning of the game.

Although this kind of blind attack has never been admired by George, in this game George encouraged Blackburn's attack.The shame of zero to eight can be said to have suppressed the Blackburn players for a whole year. If you don't let this tone out, it will be too depressing to hold it in your heart.

So George just used the tone in their hearts to play this game.

The Arsenal players saw a group of Blackburn players with red eyes at the beginning of the game, and their attacks seemed endless.

Petit felt very difficult, and Miku in this game was like a tiger going down the mountain.The last game was a year ago.At that time, Micoud was immature in front of Vieira, and Micoud was very responsible for Blackburn's fiasco.

But in this game, Micoud did everything well, whether it was passing, dribbling, or receiving.

It was already very uncomfortable for Petit to defend Micoud.But Pires came over to help Micoud from time to time, which made Petit feel more and more tired of defending Micoud alone.

Blackburn fans firmly remember zero to eight, so now Blackburn is full of momentum, so the whole audience at Ewood Park is full of cheers.Of course, once the Arsenal players got the ball, it was booed by the audience.

Arsenal fans will not let Arsenal be bullied like this, they sing loudly "Nil to eight, we want zero to eight!".Using this singing to mock Blackburn is also to fight back against Blackburn fans.

Wenger seldom stands on the sidelines, he sits more on the bench and watches the game quietly.Occasionally, he would talk to Rice next to him.But after the game started, Wenger frowned tightly watching the situation on the field.

Because of Blackburn's very unexpected and aggressive attack.Although he thought that George must not be reconciled to the failure of last season, Wenger did not expect that Blackburn would attack so recklessly.Because Blackburn's traditional style of play is to stabilize the midfield and then press the opponent.

Blackburn's offense is slow with fast, fast with slow, and there are few such straight-forward fast offenses.

That's why Wenger anxiously watched the situation on the field.

"It seems that George really remembers the disastrous defeat of last season. Look, Blackburn is playing desperately." Martin Taylor looked at the game on the field and smiled.

"Of course, if you think about it. Since George started as the head coach of Burnley, his coaching career has been smooth. He has jumped twice in three years and won the League Cup and the FA Cup. But he was defeated by Arsenal last season. Nana scored [-]-[-]. How could someone like George forget such a shame." Andy Gray also nodded.

"However, this kind of strong attack can only be for a short time. I think after about 15 minutes, if the score is not rewritten, Blackburn will still return to the original path."

Andy Gray is indeed a highly professional commentator, and he has figured out George's thoughts.George just wanted to use the first 15 minutes to catch Arsenal by surprise.It is impossible to use the entire game with this style of play that cares about the head and ignores the back.

Twelve minutes into the game, it was Micoud who got the ball from Deco again.

Vieira covered a wide area, but under Blackburn's strong attack, he retreated back instead.This time he tried to block the passing route, but Deco didn't bother with him at all and passed it directly to Micoud.Micoud didn't get the ball, but let it slip to his right.

Then in a split second turned from behind to Pettit's left.This beautiful move made Pettit, who was very defensive, never thought of it.After Micoud passed Petit, he got the ball and pushed lightly to the left.The ball was passed in between Arsenal's right-back and centre-back.

Pires got in very tacitly and got the ball.Breaking through directly, seeing Keown's block, he passed lightly with his left foot to the vicinity of the small penalty area.

"...Micoud, it's beautiful. Micoud, who is 1.8 meters tall, can perform such an outstanding move. It's unbelievable... Pires, got the ball, and he passed it to the small penalty area... It's Miku!"

After Micoud passed the pass to Pires, he continued to run forward without stopping.Then Pires' pass back was right in Micoud's footsteps.

Keown blocked Pires and Adams defended Klose.And Micoud's position should belong to Pettit, but after being shaken by Micoud, Pettit couldn't keep up in time.

This is a very classic match, Micoud passes to two wide players, and then the two wide players pass back near the baseline.Micoud or Deco shot from behind.This seems to be a very simple cooperation, but when Blackburn played the game, it was tried and tested.

"Micoud! The shot...beautiful. The ball was so powerful that Seaman didn't have time to react."

Facing the ball returned by Pires, Micoud shot directly with a strong kick.Although Seaman rushed in the right direction, the speed of the ball was too fast, so it was still a step too late.

"GOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!!!" Arsenal were ahead in just over 13 minutes, and the on-site commentator was very excited. "John Micoud! He dribbled beautifully and told us he was the best. We don't want Zidane because we have..."

When the narrator said this, all the Blackburn fans shouted "John Miku!!!".

"We have John Micoud, we have John Micoud!!!"

Listening to their cheers, Miku ran without emotion.Although the performance of last season has made many people in English football appreciate Micoud very much.Think Blackburn this deal is very cost-effective.But last season's performance against Vieira was still deeply in Micoud's mind.

He thought about revenge all the time.

Scoring this goal today made Miku finally heave a sigh of relief.My shame, I will report it myself.

Miku, who has always been introverted, rarely loses his composure even after scoring a goal.But in this game, after scoring a goal, Miku ran from the opponent's penalty area to his own penalty area.All the Blackburn players were following Micoud, and then into their penalty area, Micoud raised his hands and waved to the other players.

"Micoud is really good. Look at the time he passed Petit just now. I thought I saw Bergkamp." Martin Taylor was still reminiscing about the beautiful pass just now.

"Yes, Pettit is a world-class midfielder. In his career, it should be very rare to be so breakthrough. George said that Micoud is as talented as Zidane. I am getting more and more The more I believe it."

George originally wanted to shrink back, but seeing the player's state, he felt overwhelmed.Stepping forward to the celebrating players, he made a gesture of continuing to push forward.

"George, we are leading. Can we take a break?" Blackburn's most powerful ability is to control the ball in the midfield, and he can completely control the slow pace.

"These boys have been holding back for too long. If they are not allowed to vent their anger, they will not agree to it themselves. Since they are not willing to be shrinking turtles, let's take advantage of their current momentum." George shook his head.The momentum of the young people can only be encouraged, not let them down. "Offensive and offensive, I will use offense to defeat Arsenal. Isn't Arsenal the best offensive team in the Premier League? I will use offense to completely disarm Arsenal."

Seeing George's gesture, Blackburn kicked even more violently.

And Henry, who should be the biggest firepower on Arsenal's side, has been wandering in Arsenal's system.The most powerful golden corridor in Arsenal's later generations is the left corridor composed of Ashley Cole, Pires and Henry.

But Overmars prefers to solve problems by himself, and passes the ball to Bergkamp.

Henry is also used to being on the left, but instead occupied Overmars' breakthrough route.Therefore, Arsenal's offense is even more chaotic.

George knows that Henry will adapt to the Premier League game quickly, and he has scored a lot this season.Now seizing the opportunity that Henry has not yet fully adapted to the Premier League, Blackburn's offense is impressive.

Arsenal's continued pressure finally paid off and it was Micoud who delivered another brilliant pass to Duff on 29 minutes into the game.

"...Micoud, Duff got the ball...how will he choose to face Sylvinho...Duff, break through!"

Duff didn't hesitate to face Sylvinho at all, and used his speed to force Sylvinho.But Sylvinho, as an offensive full-back, is not slow at all.Seeing that Sylvinho's speed is good, Duff paused for a moment, making an outside breakthrough, and Sylvinho was swayed by Duff.Then Duff made a dunk, and when Sylvinho came back, he suddenly broke through to the outside.

These two fake moves completely stunned Sylvinho.If it was Arsenal's former left-back Wen Tebo, it would be impossible to be swayed by such a small move.Fortunately, Sylvinho has good offensive strength, but his defense is still too immature.

"Duff, he passed Sylvinho. Sylvinho is completely out of position, Duff's cross!"

Duff's cross is different from other wingers' crosses.His cross is very distinctive, not the general winger's cross, but the kind of flat fast ball.The ball is very fast and the height is average.

The ball quickly came to the small penalty area.

Keown and Adams watched Klose more. Now everyone in the Premier League doesn't know that Klose's header is the best.And it's not average.

So Keown and Adams paid close attention to Klose.

Instead, Pires, who came in from the left, was missed.Although Pires is a left midfielder, his ability to grab points is not weak at all.When everyone didn't pay attention to him, he inserted it accurately and just touched it lightly, and the ball flew into the goal.

Duff's pass, the speed of the ball is too fast.With a light touch from Pires, the ball changed course.And the speed didn't decrease at all, and it flew directly towards the door.

"Pirre's goal! Two to zero, Arsenal are completely stunned in this game. How could Pires score so easily."

"Two to zero, we are two goals ahead." Following the goal, the Blackburn fans cheered.Zero to eight is like a thorn in the hearts of Blackburn fans. Today's first half led Arsenal by [-] to [-], which made Blackburn fans very happy.
