Chapter 376
The game started to lean a bit.

Manchester United's offensive has become much more violent.However, Blackburn is still taking it easy and playing step by step.It's just that Blackburn's defensive strength is much thicker.

Especially for the three players at the back of the midfield, Deco's defensive ability is the worst.Even so, Deco's frontal defense ability is still okay.In addition, Makelele, who played with his head, and Hargreaves swept away.

The defensive combination of these three makes Manchester United's offense very difficult.

Especially for Beckham, George sent Hargreaves.Hargreaves is only 21 now, but has played in the Premier League for four seasons at Blackburn Rovers.Although he has not been a main player, once George needs to rotate or come off the bench, Hargreaves is often the first thing that comes to mind.

Because Hargreaves has good physical strength, strong running ability, and most importantly, he is fierce in defense.

Hargreaves is strong.If there is no Makelele, George must let Hargreaves be the main force.Hargreaves' strength will definitely not be worse than Italy's Gattuso.In terms of defensive coverage, it may be stronger than Gattuso.

So after George let Hargreaves follow Beckham, Beckham couldn't get rid of Hargreaves at all.

Beckham could not defeat Hargreaves in terms of speed, physical strength and technique.As long as Hargreaves is affixed with Beckham, he will not let Beckham go.

Without the help of Beckham on the right, Manchester United's offensive threat has dropped a lot.Fortunately, Giggs' breakthrough on the left was still sharp, supporting their other wing.But in the face of the increasingly experienced Sagnol, Giggs did not get many good opportunities.

Therefore, Manchester United's offense relies more on the center.

Scholes's needlework in the frontcourt, and Roy Keane's attack behind him.

Although Blackburn's defense in the backcourt is very solid, once there is a problem with the defense, even Micoud and Kaka in front will come to help.

After 10 minutes of the game, the situation on the field is still stalemate.

Manchester United can't get in, and Blackburn can't get out.This made Ferguson on the sidelines very dissatisfied.And he also looked at George who was also standing on the sidelines, unable to figure out what George was thinking.Unless he has a great advantage, George is definitely not the kind of head coach who plays negatively.

But judging from the game, Blackburn is indeed suspected of being passive in the game.It's like being satisfied with the current score of zero to zero.

Of course, playing an away game, zero to zero is definitely not an unacceptable ending.But with an away goal, it's not better than it is now.

George placed seven people in the midfield, and the three in front came to support at any time.This kind of defensive strength makes Manchester United's every attack come to nothing.

Manchester United wouldn't have that problem if they played against any other team.Although intensive defense is a headache for all strong teams, many strong teams still have certain solutions.Manchester United is not a team that has not played intensive defense in the Premier League.

But it was Blackburn today.

Blackburn's players in all positions are world-class players.When they start playing this kind of defense, any good team in the world will have a headache.

Under such circumstances, the game passed by every minute.

In the 22nd minute of the game, Scholes' long-range shot was blocked by Van der Sar because of Blackburn's defensive compression.After Van der Sar took the ball, it was a big foot directly.

Van der Sar is a very strong goalkeeper.

In addition to all the conditions that a goalkeeper has, Van der Sar has many advantages that other goalkeepers do not have.One is that his hand throws the ball very far, and often a hand throw can throw more than 30 meters.When the offense and defense are switched, a hand throw can be directly handed over to the counter-attacking player in the middle.

Another one is his big feet.Van der Sar's big-foot pass is very accurate, at the same level as those generals who control the rhythm of the game in midfield.

This time is no exception.Van der Sar was directly a big foot and passed it to the front.

What Van der Sar was looking for was Drogba.

Drogba's current foot skills are indeed a bit rough, and the one-handed ball is always kicked away or hit the goalkeeper.But Drogba has a little strength, even Klose can't match it.It is his monster-like body.

In the past few years in the Premier League, the biggest skill Drogba has learned is how to use his body reasonably.

So Drogba was completely rampant in the frontcourt.It knocked Woodgate dizzy.Woodgate's strength is good, and his aerial ball and frontal defense are all excellent.But the body is really not as good as the central defenders like Campbell and Terry.

Therefore, in the confrontation with Drogba, he is physically at a disadvantage.

Van der Sar kicked off with a big foot, and Drogba quickly took a position.Then back against Woodgate to prevent him from taking the position.Then, watching the flying ball, he stopped the ball with his chest and passed it directly to Miku who ran up from the right.

Micoud was just near the halfway line, and when he saw Van der Sar's kick-off, he ran up directly.

"Van der Sar...Drogba, pass...Micoud!"

After Micoud got the ball, Keane next to him didn't jump quickly.But it has already blocked Micoud's running route, and even blocked the two-to-one route between Micoud and Drogba.It's a pity that Keane is only one person after all, and it's impossible to be blocked in all directions.

Miku still passed the ball.

Micoud passed to Kaka, who was running on the right.

"Micoud...the ball made a mistake, the pass was too big. Miku shouldn't have done it!"

After Miku passed the ball, Martin Taylor was very surprised.Because Micoud's pass was obviously intended for Kaka, and the ball was passed into Kaka's running route.But the ball seemed too big to the commentator because it was closer to the central defender in the backcourt.

Especially closer to Brown.

Martin Taylor has commented on Blackburn many times.He has a deep understanding of Miku.Miku shouldn't have such a low-level pass error.So it's a pity that a good chance to fight back is gone.

But just after he finished speaking, Martin Taylor was stunned.

Because I just said that Miku's pass was too big, I didn't expect Kaka's speed to be the same as the wind.Obviously Brown was closer to the ball at the beginning, but in the blink of an eye, Kaka was already in front of the ball, while Brown was still more than one meter away from the ball.

Martin Taylor was taken aback, and Brown was even more surprised.

It's not that Brown has never seen a speed player, and he has played against Henry and Irving.But I didn't expect that Kaka's speed was too fast, completely comparable to Henry and Owen.This time Brown was one step late, but Brown would never let Kaka go so easily.

Because after Brown, then directly face the goalkeeper.

Therefore, Brown is directly a tackle, trying to poke the ball out before Kaka takes control of the ball.

But Kaka saw Brown's tackle, flicked the ball lightly, and he also jumped over.Kaka is so big, this move is very light.

"Kaka, the speed is too fast... Kaka, pick the ball... Kaka, skip Brown. Kaka is going to face the goalkeeper. Barthez... Kaka, shoot!"

Yes, after Kaka passed Brown so easily, he faced Barthez directly.

Woodgate next to him has been entangled with Drogba, and he has been unable to catch up to defend Kaka.In desperation, Barthez could only abandon the door and attack.Regardless of his young age, Kaka is not like Drogba, who chooses to shoot vigorously as long as it is a single goal.

No matter what position Drogba is in, as long as he has a shooting angle, he is a powerful shot.So single-handedly always hit the goalkeeper.

But Kaka is different.Although Kaka is a Europeanized Brazilian player, he is still a Brazilian player after all.Facing the attacking Barthez, he made a very calm push, and the ball slowly rolled into the goal.

"GOOOOOOOAL!!!!!!!!!"

"Kaka, it's Kaka. A player introduced by George with the 'Special Talent Clause' last summer. He didn't have much performance in the league, but in the Champions League, this is already the second goal. The last goal, It was away to Roma."

"Away goals, Blackburn got an away goal. The game went in Blackburn's favour."

After seeing the goal, Kaka pointed his index fingers to the sky.Made his most classic celebration.Drogba and Micoud, who were closest to him, all came to congratulate Kaka.

After seeing Kaka's goal, George couldn't help but knelt on the sidelines and clenched his fists.

Already reached the semi-finals, George really wants to enter the finals.Winning the Champions League is George's biggest dream since he became a head coach.Or as a head coach in Europe, who doesn't want to live the Champions League champion.

Things are going great for Blackburn right now.

Because already scored an away goal.Away goals are very important in the Champions League knockout rounds.

George looked at the annoyed Ferguson next to him, and smiled "hehe".

Ferguson has no calculations, and it is impossible to guess his starting lineup.And he valued everyone, and he couldn't guess that Kaka was the ultimate move.George admitted that his starting lineup stole the Christmas tree style that Carlo Ancelotti later swept across Europe.

But the personnel are different, and this one is at best a trumpet.

But just a small Christmas tree is already quite powerful.

George did not choose Anelka, but chose Drogba in order to maximize the power of Kaka.Anelka, this person will go up by himself when he gets the ball, and he never wants to cooperate with others.This is Anelka's character, and George has no ability to change it.

But Drogba is different.

Drogba is a bridgehead in front.And it can put enough pressure on the opponent's defense line, and it can also give Kaka enough room to play.

That's why George chose to let Drogba play.And with players like Micoud helping Kaka next to him, how can Kaka be prevented from having enough room to play.

"Kaka, this season is just a substitute player for Blackburn. But look at Kaka's breakthrough and shooting just now, this is indeed a genius. I believe Kaka will definitely be a midfielder for Blackburn in the future." Martin Taylor on Kaka It is full of praise.

This is in the Champions League semi-final.

It is a competition that attracts attention from all over Europe and even the whole world.With this goal, Kaka really shocked the world with one kick.
