Chapter 477 The final with the most disparity in strength

The game started.

Everyone who was immersed in the pre-match program just now focused their energy on the game.

"Looking at Blackburn's starting lineup, George really doesn't seem to care about Monaco. Everyone knows that Blackburn has always played five midfielders in the past two seasons, especially the formation of double midfielders. .But this game, George sent two forwards and removed a defensive midfielder."

Among Blackburn's starting lineup, there is only one midfielder, and that is Alonso.

Essien, who has always been the main player, sat on the bench.

George's midfield is a complete attacking lineup.In addition to Alonso, Pires, Micoud, and Kaka all have amazing attack power.

George rarely fielded this lineup.

But in such an important game as the Champions League final, such an adventurous lineup was sent.

But George sent this attacking lineup, of course, has his own reasons.

Found out after the game started.

Blackburn didn't have any conservatism at all just because it was a Champions League final.But just after the start of the game, there was a fierce attack on Monaco.Blackburn's offense is truly a three-dimensional offensive.

Air ball, no problem at all.

Not only the high ball directly from the backcourt, but also the cross from the wing are very threatening.Klose and Drogba are both masters of golf.

And playing on the ground, Blackburn has no problem at all.

Needless to say, Alonso's long pass skills, Pires and Micoud's passes are world-class.Even the world's top.

Even the two strikers Klose and Drogba have excellent skills at their feet.The threat of playing ground offense is also great.

Of course, the most important thing is that Monaco is a dark horse.They have not played in the Champions League final, which is the highest competition for European clubs.They were all nervous, how could they not be nervous.Tension will distort their technical movements.

Monaco is not just nervous right now.And their players are holding their breath all the time.

Because of George's constant sarcasm, they were all a little impetuous.

They all want George to know that Monaco is a strong team.Their strength is very strong.This mentality disappeared without the comfort of Deschamps.Instead, they all wanted to give George a good look at the beginning of the game.

Of course, this energy, if used well, can stimulate their potential.

Unfortunately, this is the Champions League final.

In the Champions League final, George was most worried about the stability of the Monaco players.Once they calm down, they will soon be able to stabilize after the chaos of the opening stage.But now their hearts are still far from being calm.

Nervousness and unconvinced hearts made them impetuous.

The mixed emotions, coupled with Blackburn's onslaught after the start of the game, made Monaco immediately flustered.

George was even more keenly aware of the chaos in Monaco.

Evra, who was the most arrogant before the game, didn't have any tacit understanding with the team after the game started.He really wanted to attack, and wanted to show George and the proud Pires his own strength.Evra didn't seem nervous at all, but he was a little out of the team's overall rhythm.

This made George quite happy.

The rest of Monaco's players are completely out of touch with Evra.

The rest of the Monaco players were tight defensively.It's a pity that Evra is distracted, he wants to attack, he wants to beat Blackburn.So as long as there is a chance to fight back, Evra will go up.

It's a pity that the Monaco players are too cautious now.

Even if there is a chance to counterattack, the troops invested are very limited.Especially Jiuli's injury greatly reduced Monaco's counterattack strength.

This is the general trend.

It's a pity Evra doesn't care about this.As long as he has the opportunity, he will rush forward.

Evra's anomaly was discovered by George, and of course Miku on the court also noticed it.

Seven minutes into the game, Monaco managed to get another chance to counterattack.Squillac passed to Bernardi in the middle, and Bernardi was going to pass to Rothen on the wing.

It's a pity that Bernardi's ball had just passed, and Roten hadn't got the ball before it was intercepted by Alonso.

Monaco's midfielder is really not as strong as Porto.

Although Porto has less Deco than in history.But Porto's Maniche and Mendes both have a strong ability to insert behind.It's a pity that Monaco's midfielders are more defensive now, and even when they are counterattacking, they have not been able to insert and create threats.Including Bernardi and Zicos, they are all firmly guarding their positions.

There is no deep midfielder, so the pressure on Alonso is quite light.

When Alonso steals the ball, it happens that Evra also assists.

As just said, Evra has a strong sense of assists.Especially in this game, the entire Monaco team defended carefully, but Evra preferred to attack.It's just that not long before he came up, Alonso had already broken the ball.

"Alonso...passed to Micoud...Micoud, passed...Pires, it was Pires. Evra has lost his place."

Yes, not only Micoud found out about Evra's inappropriateness, but Pires also found out.

Pires is a thief on the court.

The power of observation on the court is even better than many people.This is why Pires, as a wide player, can become the core of the team.

Micoud and Pires have not communicated.

But the two found Evra's vacancy together with a very tacit understanding.

When Pires got the ball, Evra did not return to his position.Because it can be said that there are no defensive players around Pires with the ball.Pires moved easily into the right flank, and then it was a calm cross.

Pires' crosses turned out to be superb.

Now there is no player interference, it is a calm cross, and the accuracy is even more imaginable.

"Pirres, cross... Drogba, header! Roma didn't react at all, the goal went in. Go in! Drogba!"

"One to zero, Drogba overwhelmed Squillac! Drogba opened the scoring and Blackburn led [-]-[-]."

Squillac's height is not low, but he is not too tall for a central defender. With a height of 1.8 meters 1.8, he already has no advantage in contending with Drogba.Drogba is [-] meters nine.

In addition, Drogba's body is abnormal, and he is very powerful.And the jumping ability is amazing, compared with Drogba, Squillac is like a child.There is simply no way to fight.

Drogba overwhelmed Squillac very easily, shaking his head and attacking the goal.

Drogba's header is full of power.

Monaco goalkeeper Roma just made a save, and there was nothing he could do about the ball.

"Blackburn got off to a perfect start."

"Only 8 minutes into the game, Blackburn has already led Monaco [-]-[-]. Before the game, George said that the champion belongs to Blackburn. This is definitely not a lie. Blackburn has such strength. Monaco's dark horse journey seems to be coming soon. It's over."

"Is this game the most disparate game in the recent Champions League finals? I think it should be. So far, Monaco has not had a shot. Blackburn has already had four shots, and they have also scored. Scored a goal."

A goal was scored in just 8 minutes in the opening game, which is absolutely rare in a match of this level in the Champions League final.

There have been such comments before the game.

I think that in this Champions League final, the strength gap between the two sides is too great.It is a game with the most disparity in strength.

But I didn't expect that this sentence was already proved at the beginning of the game.

Who can imagine that in just 8 minutes, Blackburn was already leading by one goal.

And for Blackburn fans, this was a big surprise.Although Blackburn fans believed that Blackburn could beat Monaco, they did not expect to lead by one goal so easily.

Excited Blackburn fans immediately cheered loudly.

"Champions! Champions! We are champions!"

"We want champions!"

Listening to the shouts of the fans, Drogba stuck out his tongue and ran all over the field.Drogba is excited, really excited.

It has been many years since Didier Drogba came to Blackburn.

But Drogba has always lived in Klose's shadow.Because after Drogba came, Klose has become the first brother of Blackburn's striker.And he was one of the best strikers in the Premier League at the time.

Although Drogba worked very hard, and George also gave Drogba a lot of opportunities.

But Klose has always been on Drogba's heart.

How strong is Klose?

In almost all important games, Klose scored goals in all appearances.Look at the UEFA Cup final in 00, the Champions League final in 02, and the Premier League in recent years, there are countless key goals.So as long as the Blackburn forward line is mentioned, the first thing that people think of will always be Klose.

Now Drogba also scored in the Champions League final, and it was the opening goal.

Drogba is excited.

I am no longer Klose's substitute.It is a player who can compete with Klose for the main position.

Of course Drogba himself has a good personal relationship with Klose.But this personal relationship did not affect the competition between the two of them.

"Drogba, this player is already 26 years old, he can be regarded as a late bloomer. He was worth 21 pounds to come to Blackburn, and he was already 21 years old at the time. Although he was [-] years old, he was not as good as League One. forward. At that time, people's biggest impression of him was that he had a great body and rough technique."

"At the time no one thought he could be a good striker. It was because, at the time, he had nothing but his body."

"But five years later, Drogba has become a world-class striker who can compete with Klose for the main position. At 26 years old, he is not young, but he is not too big. He still has a lot. You can prove your time."

Martin Taylor is also very appreciative of Drogba.

After five years, Drogba became a veritable beast.

Drogba's celebration affected Blackburn fans.Soon the audience resounded "Drogba! Drogba!" Shouts.
