Chapter 296 Star of Dream Theater
Obviously, Blackburn's staff is more orderly.And since the beginning of the first half, Blackburn has been pressing Manchester United.

But when Drogba scored a long-range shot, Manchester United went forward like crazy.Manchester United is like a spring, the harder you push him, the stronger his rebound will be.Manchester United is a person who cannot stand being bullied by others.

Don't look at Manchester United's two generals, Keane and Giggs, in this game, but they can attack with a momentum.

Butt, Philip Neville, Scholes and Beckham in the midfield increased their running.There won't be any subtle cooperation between them, more of getting the ball and passing it into the penalty area.Solskjaer is like a loach, looking for loopholes in Blackburn's defense in the penalty area.

George went up and asked Deco to control the rhythm, not so fast.

In the last game against Lazio, George deliberately accelerated the pace, completely disrupting Lazio's playing rhythm.But George couldn't be fast in this game. Manchester United is far better than Blackburn in terms of speed.George wanted Deco to slow the ball down.

But just as Lazio wanted to slow down the pace in the last game and failed to do so, Deco wanted to control the ball and failed to do so.

After the Manchester United players got up, they immediately suppressed Blackburn's offense.

Things like morale are very important in a game.

Fortunately, the first half ended soon.

George watched Ferguson chewing gum, not in a hurry.

George made no other arrangements in the locker room.Just tell the team not to let Manchester United lead the way in the second half.Try to keep the ball under control, especially to slow down the tempo.

Then there is the praise for Drogba.

In the end, Drogba himself was embarrassed.Drogba showed the only white teeth on his face, and smiled innocently.

It has been more than a year since Drogba came to Blackburn, and it is the first time he has received such praise in front of so many people.But I am very happy in my heart.It is a good thing to get the praise of the head coach.

After the start of the second half, Manchester United's suppression became more and more fierce.

Scholes, who was almost invisible in the first half, was very active after kick-off in the second half.It can be seen everywhere on the field.When Miku got the ball, there was Scholes' defensive figure.And just a short time later, Scholes was able to shoot from distance in front.

The tandem of Scholes in the midfield has kept the entire Manchester United offense alive.

"... Cole, pass back... Scholes, shot! Blocked by Panucci."

"Scholes...split...Beckham, cross, Cole's header! Cudicini saves it."

George watched as Scholes had several chances up front.Couldn't help but stepped forward and shouted loudly. "Claude, are you sleeping? Don't you want to play the main force? How can Scholes be so presumptuous in front of the penalty area."

In such a noisy stadium at Old Trafford, Makelele couldn't hear what George said at all.

But George was not far from Makelele, and Makelele heard George call his name.He just turned his head to look at George, but didn't hear George's words clearly.But Makelele saw the way George was waving his hands.

Makelele could guess that what George was dissatisfied with must be that Scholes was too active.

Especially the shot opportunity that allowed Scholes to plug in later, it was definitely Makelele who lost his position.Therefore, Makelele can only focus on the spirit.

Although Makelele hurried to his position.But while running, I thought: Damn, it's easier said than done with the head on the sidelines.His mother Scholes's position is erratic, and his movements are too fast.How can it be said that prevention can be prevented.

Fortunately, after Makelele was scolded by George, his defense against Scholes was considered a success.Scholes shot and passed a lot less.But the scene is still dominated by Manchester United.

"Alexander, come here." George waved for Hleb, who was warming up, to come over.

In fact, just after the start of the second half, George had already warmed up several people on the Blackburn bench.Of course, if there is a goalkeeper substitute, it is not necessary.However, George rarely takes a goalkeeper substitute, because the Premier League can only bring five substitutes at present, and there is no goalkeeper substitute position at all.

Hleb was taken aback.

Although George asked them to warm up, Hleb didn't pay much attention.

Playing Manchester United, this is Blackburn's key game.It never occurred to Hleb that George would play himself.

"After you go up, play the position on the right. See if Sylvester is there. He often loses his position, and then use his skills to pass him. He is a bit reckless. If he has a chance, he will enter the restricted area. If he has no chance, he will not." To lure him into a foul."

Sylvester has good speed and can often go up and assist on the left.

But as a defender, Sylvester's position is very problematic.The defensive awareness is also poor, and the defense is too fierce.After adding the offense, it will be difficult to come back.

George has high hopes for Duff in this game.

It's a pity that Duff didn't play well in this game for some unknown reason.There were not a few decent breakthroughs.The right flank has always been a very important attacking side for Blackburn, but this game was too quiet.

That's why George thought of Hleb.

Duff was very angry when he saw that his own brand had been replaced.When they came down, they didn't even look at George.After simply clapping hands with Hleb, he put on his clothes and entered the locker room.

George frowned.Don't blame Duff though.

In such an important game, being replaced, Duff has emotions that George can understand.

After Hleb came on the court, according to George's arrangement, he was very sticky after taking the ball.Take the ball and face Sylvester.Hleb wasn't fast, but the ball seemed to stick to his feet.

The current situation on the field is that Manchester United has the advantage.It is not easy for Blackburn to get the chance to counterattack, so when they counterattack, what they need is speed.But once the ball reaches Hleb's feet, the whole offense is over.

Because after Hleb gets the ball, he rarely passes it to others.Instead, he dribbled the ball entirely by himself.

Facing Sylvester, he swayed left and right.

But George is already very satisfied.Because George put Hleb on the field for that purpose.

There are often players in the game who, when their own side is passive, will dawdle when they take the throw-in.In fact, apart from the reason for delaying the game, this move is more to disrupt the rhythm of the opponent and give the team a chance to breathe.

Now the field is completely dominated by Manchester United.

Therefore, Hleb's sticky ball just disrupted Manchester United's rhythm.The ball at Hleb's feet cannot be snatched by one or two people.

"Hleb's skills are really good. Look, Sylvester can't grab the ball by himself. Young players, in such a big scene, they are not nervous at all, and they have a future." Martin Taylor looked at playing there The delighted Hleb, laughed afterward.

"Yeah, this technique alone is really good. It's a pity that the ability to grasp passing opportunities is average. Just now Micoud went to meet him, but he didn't pass the ball." Andy Gray praised Hleb, but at the same time accuse him of mistakes.

"It's understandable for a 19-year-old young player. Such a big scene will definitely be very helpful for his growth."

In this way, without knowing it, Hleb used his possession of the ball to completely disrupt the rhythm that Manchester United had just brought up.

What they don't know is that facing Hleb, Sylvester's lungs are about to explode.Although Hleb's threat was not as direct as Duff's, Sylvester, one of the parties involved, felt deeply humiliated.

Although Sylvester is not a well-known defender.But when he transferred to Inter Milan the year before last, the transfer price was 700 million euros.Last year, he transferred from Inter Milan to Manchester United, and his worth also reached 400 million euros.

Facing Hleb, a kid who was only 19 years old, he was playing tricks around him.

If you just pass by yourself, there is nothing.After all, which defender has never been fooled by others, even Maldini has been fooled by countless people, let alone himself.But the most exasperating thing is that Hleb is all about being extraordinary.

After you pass yourself, there is no problem passing the ball or shooting.The problem is that Hleb dangles from side to side, passing over and over again.This made the anger in Sylvester's heart rise gradually.

It was Hleb who got the ball again, and he dunked first, swinging Sylvester past him.If it's a player like Duff, it's going to go forward and get in after it's over.But not Hleb.After the pass, waiting for Sylvester to react, he buckled and swayed again.

How could this make Sylvester swallow it.

So Sylvester, this time, was directly a tackle, trying to tackle Hleb with the ball.

But Hleb, who dribbled the ball low, seemed to have eyes. He flicked the ball lightly and then jumped completely past Sylvester.Manchester United's left is completely empty.Sylvester fell to the ground and did not get up at all.

"Hleb, this young player's technique is too good. Sylvester, poor Sylvester..."

Seeing Hleb's series of actions on the field, George couldn't help applauding.Hleb really deserves to be the "extraordinary king", this extraordinary life is really an art.

"Hleb, he's going in. What will he do? Hleb, it's out of an angle, and it hasn't shot yet?"

After Hleb entered the penalty area, he faced Brown with a very simple shake, but he swayed from a very good angle.He could have shot, but he dunked it back again.Watching George kept stomping his feet, this kid was not decisive at all.What a great opportunity.

With such hesitation, Stam next to him did not hesitate.Stam wasted no time at all. He made a tackle to Hleb in the penalty area and tackled the ball very accurately.Shoveled the ball directly to the outside.

"... hesitated, hesitated. Hleb hesitated, such a good opportunity. Stam made a clearance... no, the ball fell to Micoud's feet, Micoud... shot!"
