Chapter 456 Juventus, still hit

"Hi everyone, this is the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League. It is also the first time the UEFA Champions League has the round of [-]. The two sides of the game are Blackburn and Juventus. Blackburn and Juventus are the leagues of their respective leagues last season champion."

"Let's take a look at the starting lineups of both sides. Juventus' starting lineup is goalkeeper Buffon, defenders are Bilindelli, Lero Tallie, Montero, Zambrotta, midfielders Camoranesi, Tower Chinati, Appiah, Nedved, Del Piero and Trezeguet up front."

"Blackburn's starting lineup is interesting. Van der Sar in goal, Riise, Lucio, Campbell and Sagnol in defense, Pires, Alonso, Micoud and Kaka in midfield. Klose and Drogba up front."

"Juventus' formation was quite satisfactory. It was a 4-3-1-2 with Pavel Nedved behind the two strikers."

"However, George is uncharacteristically today. Two forwards were put on, Klose and Drogba both appeared in the starting list. Essien was removed from the midfielder as a defensive midfielder. Could it be that George is really a little flustered, thinking that Juventus Tooth can be beaten so easily. The midfield doesn't need to defend."

Martin Taylor used a questioning tone.

For the players sent by Blackburn, Martin Taylor does have some doubts.In the past, George played games with double midfielders.Alonso and Hargreaves, since Hargreaves was injured, has been the partner of Alonso and Essien.

But this time facing Juventus, a strong enemy, George withdrew a midfielder and stepped up a forward.

No matter how you think about it, it's a surprise.

"Dududu-"

With the referee's whistle, the 2004 UEFA Champions League quarter-finals finally started at Ewood Park.

After the start of the game, Blackburn didn't have any temptations for Juventus, and started to attack directly.

Yes, Blackburn didn't hesitate a bit.

At home, amidst the cheers of the fans, a fierce attack was launched directly.

No one thought of this.

During the game, Lippi, who was expressionless no matter whether he was leading or lagging behind, stood on the sidelines of the court.Of course, his body didn't show any movements and expressions, he just stood quietly watching the situation on the field.

Lippi was indeed surprised.

Lippi praised George before the game, hoping that George would be a little proud.It's best to go all out on offense and forget about defense.But now Blackburn is indeed attacking with all its strength, but Lippi always feels that something is wrong.

"Blackburn's style of play can now be seen. Among the three players in the frontcourt, Micoud is slightly behind, while Pires and Kaka are standing behind Miroslav Klose and Drogba. This formation It's special, kind of like 4-1-1-2-2."

Yes, George did not allow Micoud, Pires, and Kaka to occupy a position in this game.Instead, Micoud was left behind, with Pires and Kaka on top.

And Blackburn's offense is getting stronger and stronger.

George was no fledgling kid.You won't be really flustered just because of Lippi's few words. George's choice of this offensive style of play is based on Juventus.Especially Juventus' current midfield defensive ability is not good.

Especially Apia.

Of course, Appiah is very strong, otherwise it would be impossible to become the main player of Juventus.Appiah is a defensive midfielder with quick movements and fierce interceptions. Lippi replaced Davis who left Juventus with Appiah.

Tacchinati occupies the position of the defensive midfielder in the center, while Appiah plays the position of the left midfielder.

Davis is an all-around player who can play up and down.When attacking, he can insert at high speed on the left, and even cross and shoot, all of which are excellent.When defending, being able to come back can not only help the left back defend the wing, but also intercept in the middle.

Davis is in the midfield, he is like a perpetual motion machine that never tires.Whether it is offense or defense, they can do very well.

It's a pity that Appiah is different from Davis.

Appiah's offensive strength is not as good as Davis, and his defensive coverage and running ability are not as good as Davis.

Therefore, Juventus's offense and defense have dropped a notch compared to before.

Since Juventus has problems in the midfield, George of course wants to take advantage of this opportunity.That's why George made this offensive lineup.

But it works well.

Juventus' midfielder is indeed unable to stop Blackburn's attack.

Lippi's original idea was that Nedved not only took into account the offense, but also harassed Alonso.But after Micoud retreated slightly, although the threat from the front of the penalty area dropped a little.But it made Nedved very embarrassed.

I don't know which one is better for defense.

Anyway, Blackburn's formation made Juventus too surprised.Let them never think of it.

Only 9 minutes into the game, Blackburn organized another attack.

After Alonso took the ball, he made a long pass and handed the ball to Pires in front.In this game, Pires' position is very active, more flexible than Kaka.Kaka is more behind Klose and Drogba.

But Pires is left, center and right, and he can go wherever he wants, just like a free man.

This time Pires received the ball from the right.

Appiah immediately came to defend Pires.Because Blackburn's offense was too fierce, Appiah hardly contributed to the offense in this game.In other words, Apia's own offensive strength is limited, so he focuses more on defense.

Seeing Appiah, Pires did not break through, but passed back to Micoud in the middle.

"... Pires, he gave the ball to Micoud."

The moment Micoud took the ball, Alonso behind him came up to support Micoud.Compared with Deco, Alonso has a small technical gap.But in terms of long pass and running range, it surpasses Deco.Alonso's running ability is very strong.

Alonso stepped forward and immediately brought up Juventus' midfield defense.

Instead, Micoud became the last man in Blackburn's midfield.

"Micoud, what will he do? Should he pass it to Alonso next to him, or to Kaka in front...Miku, long pass!"

After Miku got the ball, it seemed that he was going to hand it over to Alonso who was supporting him.But raising his foot was a long pass, which went directly to the front.

"Klose, beautiful stop."

Yes, Miku's long pass was passed to Klose in front.It was a long pass and Klose stepped forward to stop the ball with his chest and stopped at his feet.Montero has already caught up, but it is a pity that during the high-altitude ball, Montero was leaned behind by Klose.

The moment Klose took the ball, he didn't control the ball.Instead, with a light pass with his right foot, he gave the ball to Drogba on the right.

Drogba is even simpler.With his huge body, he directly leaned Lerotaly behind.There is no other way for Lerotalie, and Lerotalie can't compare with Drogba in terms of strength.Therefore, Lerotalie can only firmly occupy the position, constantly resist Drogba, and prevent Drogba from turning around easily.

But after Drogba got the ball, he didn't control it.It was a return pass, handed over to Kaka that had already been plugged in.

Kaka got the ball near the penalty area.

This is a very dangerous area.Seeing Kaka raise his leg, Montero let go of Klose and stepped forward with a tackle.Because Kaka's shot at this angle is very dangerous.

But when Montero came up to tackle, Kaka didn't shoot.Instead, with a light pick, the ball passed Montero and passed in.Kaka's passing in front of the penalty area is becoming more and more like Pires.

It is completely unpredictable what Kaka's next move will be.And the passing is more concealed and precise.

Kaka's pass passed Montero this time, and it happened to be handed over to the unguarded Klose.

"Kaka, this is a fake shot...Klose, Klose got the ball. No one around Klose, Klose! Shoot!"

"Buffon, he didn't catch the ball."

"One to zero. One to zero."

"Klose! Klose! Klose scored the first goal of the game. Blackburn leads Juventus [-]-[-]."

The live commentator was very excited.

Knockouts are different from regular leagues.The league only needs to win, but the knockout rounds are two games.Any goal is very important.A single goal can sometimes determine the fate of two teams.

"Who says Blackburn have stopped playing good football."

"Look at the series of passes just now. Micoud passed to Klose, Klose passed to Drogba, Drogba passed to Kaka, Kaka passed to Klose again. It was all Pass it with one kick, without any pause."

"Such a beautiful goal is rare. Blackburn's frontcourt players have good skills and passing ability. Now no one can see how rough Klose and Drogba were. .”

"George does have a way of training players."

"The game has only been played for 10 minutes now, and Blackburn is already leading [-]-[-]. Didn't George say it before the game? Lippi, is Lippi very good? Has Lippi won more championships than George? Hehehe!"

Martin Taylor admires Blackburn's football.

The fans at Ewood Park were completely immersed in joy.Cheers came and went, and the entire Ewood Park was completely surrounded by the joy of the fans.

"Milo Klose! Milo Klose!"

The fans praised Klose for the goal.

George stood on the sidelines and looked at Lippi next to him.

Of course George knows that the current Juventus is the worst time in the past few years.But George didn't feel invincible at all.Some proud people may be willing to meet those powerful opponents, and defeating them will give them a great sense of accomplishment.

But George wanted his opponent to be as weak as possible.

George was no sufferer.Defeating the opponent and ravaging the opponent is the happiest thing.

Although it was a one-to-zero lead, George still did not recover.Instead, he made a gesture to continue the attack.George wants to take advantage of Juventus' weakness to completely defeat Juventus at home.In this way, there will be no accidents when we arrive at the away game.

　Today's second update will be a little late.I watched the Portuguese game yesterday, went to work in the morning, and went to bed at six o'clock in the afternoon.I am very sorry.
