Chapter 411 No matter how high your martial arts are, you are still afraid of kitchen knives
After the game started, Ajax did not feel a little timid because the opponent was the defending champion.

Ajax players are all young talents, full of arrogance.Not to mention facing Blackburn, even facing Real Madrid and Milan, they will not shrink back and fight back.Ajax's tradition does not allow them to play that kind of ugly defense.

Therefore, after the kick-off, Ajax faced Blackburn and launched offensives again and again.

Especially Van der Vaart, Ibrahimovic, and Van der Meyde in the frontcourt are extremely skilled players.

They are newborn calves who are not afraid of tigers.

In front of people like Hargreaves and Alonso, they wantonly played with their skills.Picking the ball, passing the ball with the heel, and running long distances, there are all kinds of things that only the audience can't imagine, and there is nothing they can't do.

Anyway, down there, even George was frightened.

These Ajax players are so talented now.

Look at the two-for-one and two-for-two between Van der Vaart and Van der Meyde, the play is absolutely dazzling.

This is genius.

However, only a team like Ajax and a soil like the Eredivisie can cultivate these talented players.

Blackburn can be regarded as having experienced strong winds and waves.Even Real Madrid have won, and Ajax is not in their eyes.But in Ajax these are only in their early twenties, Van der Vaart is only 19, Ibrahimovic is only 21, and even Sneijder is only.

Such a young lineup represents youth and invincibility.It also means that they have unlimited imagination.Their imagination even stunned the Blackburn players.

Under their attack, something unexpected happened soon.

When the game was only 1 minutes into the game, Van der Meyde and Van der Vaart once again performed a two-for-one performance.The target of their breakthrough this time was Riise.

Riise jumped too hard when Van der Vaart had the ball.

Therefore, when Van der Vaart made a beautiful heel pass, he wanted to stop suddenly, but twisted his right foot without thinking.Riise fell to the ground in pain and never stood up.

"...Rise, he was injured. Looking at the return interview, it was because Riise exerted too much force. He wanted to stop and turn suddenly and twisted his right foot. I don't know how the injury is this time?"

"Such injuries are serious, more serious than those hard injuries."

Sure enough, after the Blackburn team doctor went in to check the injury, he made a gesture towards George for a substitution.

George gritted his teeth at van der Vaart.

This kid is too... .Now Van der Vaart is really full of spirituality.Look at the stop, dribble, and pass just now, they did it perfectly.It's no wonder that he is the most famous of the four little kings of the Netherlands, and became the captain of Ajax at such a young age.

But it was his juggling pass that hurt Riise.

George looked over to the bench.In fact, George still has a left back in his hands, which Gallas can replace.But George jumped over Gala and called out to someone else. "Michael, change your clothes."

George's words surprised everyone on the bench.

Riise is injured, so Gala should go up.After all, although Gallas is not an authentic left back, he can also play the left back position.As for Essien, he is a midfielder, and he was not a left back when he used to play as a defender.

But no one questioned it at this time, after all, it is now in the middle of the game.And even if it wasn't a game, they wouldn't question it.

This is the fifth season of George's four seasons at Blackburn.Blackburn does not have any old players now, except for Henning Berg, all of them were introduced by George.Many Blackburn players became famous under George, and they also won the championship under George.

So within the Blackburn team, George is everything.

Essien was also taken aback.The left back was injured and asked himself to change clothes.But he didn't hesitate, and quickly changed into his clothes.

"Michael, after you go up, let Owen play the left back position. You play the midfielder."

George told Essien to let Hargreaves go left.Essien nodded, feeling very satisfied.Although he was able to play, Essien still felt awkward letting himself play left back.Essien is very satisfied with letting himself play as a midfielder now.

And just behind, Gala's face turned cold.

Campbell and Lucio occupied the positions of the main central defenders. Gallas was not convinced, but he could only accept his fate.Who makes Campbell a local player in England and the main central defender of the national team.And Lucio is also the main central defender of World Cup champion Brazil.George paid a lot of money to buy players.

Therefore, Gallas didn't think much about the position of central defender.

As for the right side, Gala didn't think about it at all.Who is George's favorite player?All Blackburn players will tell you, Klose and Micoud.But who is George's most trusted player, then Sagnol on the right must be ranked high.

Sagnol has been the main right-back since he came to Blackburn.He soon became the captain of Blackburn.This kind of trust is incomparable to George's love generals Micoud and Klose.So Gala wouldn't think about it either.

Only left, Gala is very unconvinced.

Why Riise can be the main force on the left.

But now, Reese is injured.George would rather give a little guy like Essien a chance, but ignore him as a real defender.Gala kept a cold face, feeling more and more dissatisfied with George.

"Michael Essien is a player from Ghana. He has just turned 20 years old. This is Blackburn's own youth training player, and later he was loaned to the Metz team in Ligue 17. Since he was [-] years old, Essien has been the main force of Metz. The midfielder. With the departure of Deco and Makelele this season, George took back this player."

"Essien performed very well in Metz. In Ligue [-], he is the midfielder with the most steals. The Ligue [-] media even said that Essien is one of the best midfielders in Ligue [-]."

"But George seems to like Hargreaves more. Essien has played less than seven games since he came to Blackburn. Only three of them have started, and they are not very important games."

Speaking of it, many people are very unfamiliar with Michael Essien.Including those English football coaches and fans.

Therefore, Martin Taylor tried his best to introduce Essien's information in detail.

"There is another story here. I don't know if it is true. I heard that after the contract renewal talks between George and Burnley collapsed, he finally went to Turf Moor Stadium to say goodbye. There he saw Essien in the trial training. Essien, who was only 15, asked for a £110-a-week apprenticeship. Burnley said no."

"But George has taken a fancy to him. So he persuaded him to stay. When he took over Blackburn, he brought Essien to Blackburn. Of course, this matter is just heard, not necessarily true."

Martin Taylor didn't even let go of this gossip.

But most of what he said was correct.

After Essien came up, his eyes were red.If someone sees the current Essien, there is only one word to describe it, that is beast.

Yes, Essien is a beast right now.

Essien was hurt.Although Metz is not a big team, even in Ligue [-] it is only a mid-lower team.But in Metz, Essien is the boss.Although he was very young, Essien received the most attention in Metz.

Even Essien is not exactly a defensive midfielder in Metz, but the core player of the team's offense.

He returned to Blackburn this season with high hopes.But what is waiting for him is the bench, endless bench career.George is Essien's mentor, and Essien is very grateful to George.Because without George, how could Essien have the highest salary in the youth team.

And this time back, Blackburn signed a new contract with Essien.Essien's weekly salary has reached [-] pounds.These are given by George.

But in the past half season, Essien has become more and more dissatisfied.Because George obviously valued Hargreaves more, Essien thought he was no worse than that kid.

What does he have?It's just British, just a bit more handsome.

Now it's hard to play so early, Essien wants to tell George with his performance that he is no worse than that little boy.

Yes, in Essien's eyes, Hargreaves is just a little boy, just a little more handsome than himself.

Essien is fierce.

When a person has been suppressed for a long time, the power of explosion is the greatest at that time.

Essien is in this state now.

Van der Vaart in the midfield played very chicly.Van der Vaart was very disdainful of Blackburn.What Champions League champion, nothing more.

This time he got the ball again, and Van der Vaart was about to turn around.He was blocked by a person behind him, and not only did he hold back, but also the force of the impact from behind during the running process made Van der Vaart almost out of breath.

Because the power coming from behind is really too great.

Van der Vaart failed to handle the ball in time, and Essien stretched his legs and swept it directly.It touched the ball, but it also hooked Van der Vaart's foot at the same time.

"beep--"

The referee blows his whistle, indicating that this is a foul.But Essien didn't care, shrugged and went back.But Van der Vaart touched his ankle lightly, just being kicked by Essien made Van der Vaart terribly hurt.Looking at Essien's back, Van der Vaart spat helplessly.

Pain, that's the only feeling.

But this is not the first time.

Soon Ibrahimovic, who likes juggling, also learned how tough Essien is.

Van der Meyde was entangled by Hargreaves on the right and could only pass the ball hastily.The ball went in front of Zlatan Ibrahimovic but failed to reach his feet.So Ibrahimovic was trying to get the ball when he found Essien approaching aggressively in front of him.

And Essien is directly kicking.Ibrahimovic had already lifted his foot, and it was too late to stop it.Of course Ibrahimovic knew that he could not retreat at this time, because once he retreated and was kicked by Essien, he might be injured.At this time, I can only grit my teeth.

Only by going head-to-head can you not let yourself get hurt.

"Bam—"

The two sides are facing each other, and the sound is very loud.After meeting his feet, Ibrahimovic fell to the ground immediately.He bared his teeth and kept moving his ankles.However, Yujiao saw that Essien was fine and dribbled the ball past him. This made Ibrahimovic forget his pain and opened his mouth wide to look at Essien's back.

This, this, is this still a human?
Essien told the genius of Ajax in the most brutal and simple way.Good technology?snort!

No matter how high your martial arts is, you are still afraid of kitchen knives!
