Chapter 501 God-given opportunity

Reyes is a rare talent in football.

Wenger also has a product that has failed to breed.Just like Jeffers, which was introduced for 900 million pounds, is an out-and-out failed product.

Even so, no one can deny Wenger's vision.

With Wenger's stingy style, he is willing to buy Reyes with the highest price in Arsenal's history, and it can also be seen that Wenger appreciates Reyes.You can also know Reyes' strength and talent from the side.

Unfortunately, even if Wenger is a god, it is impossible to know everything.

Wenger only saw Reyes' talent, but did not see Reyes' fragile heart.

Reyes was indeed ambitious to begin with.I want to complete the transformation from star to superstar under Wenger.

But his lofty ambition was completely shattered by one person.

This man is not George.

This person is Ferguson.Ferguson's vision is equally vicious.When facing Arsenal, Ferguson arranged for Gary Neville to mark Reyes.And Gary Neville doesn't have much advantage against Reyes to be honest.

Even Gary Neville admits this.In his new book, Neville commented on Reyes like this: He is a great player, a winger with speed and likes fake moves. If I stay away from him and don't put a shovel, he will run past me. Makes me look like a fool.He has better technique, he has more speed.

Yes, Reyes far exceeds Gary Neville in terms of talent.

It's a pity that the results of the confrontation between the two are different.

Gary Neville used another tactic with him: you are like a boxer with a game plan, punch, or run, or hand-to-hand.When I steal the ball, I have to use my experience and my positional sense. I know that I have to get close to him and play physically. I have to make Reyes lose confidence.If there's anything wrong with Reyes it's his character, he ended up in England for only a short time and it was my job to exploit his weaknesses.

That's what Gary Neville did with Reyes.

Tackles, physicality, Gary Neville used his experience to beat Reyes.

And another Neville, Philip Neville also made a crazy foul on Reyes.

This made Reyes finally timid.

And the crazy tackles of the Neville brothers cast a psychological shadow on Reyes.

All Premier League teams are aware of Reyes' shortcomings.Reyes is strong, but fragile at heart.Reyes was intimidated by the defense of the Premier League.

Now George is just learning from Ferguson.

Maicon's sense of position is a bit bad.

But Maicon's physical fitness is very good.Coupled with outstanding explosive power, it is more than enough to deal with Reyes.

If it is pure defense, Maicon will definitely not be able to defend Reyes.But it was too easy for Maicon to physically charge Reyes.

Maicon's savagery directly abolished one of Arsenal's wings.

"Reyes may be used to Spanish football and not very used to the Premier League." Mortensen shook his head seeing that Reyes was defended by Maicon without any temper.

What is Reyes strongest.

The strongest thing about Reyes is his breakthrough, coupled with his lightning speed.It's a pity that now Reyes gets the ball and doesn't make a breakthrough, but just gives the ball to others.I was really scared of being shoveled.In this way, Reyes' threat has been reduced by more than half.

Abolish Reyes all the way, and Blackburn's offense will start.

But George didn't attack blindly.

George just kept adding runs and passes in the middle.Use this to mobilize Arsenal players and then look for gaps in Arsenal's defense.

Blackburn can afford to run, and Alonso, Essien and Kaka are all physically strong.

But Arsenal can't run.Both Vieira and Cesc Fabregas participated in the quarter-finals of the Champions League two days ago.Among them, Cesc Fabregas is not a player with good physical strength, and of course he is very tired when running.

Regardless of whether it is any player, if the physical strength is insufficient, the technical movements will be deformed.

Physical strength is something that any professional player must have.

After three to 10 minutes of the game, the Arsenal players had already started to lose their ability to run.

In 34 minutes, Vieira got the ball.

"Vieira...Van Persie drops back, Vieira passes...is this?"

Vieira is one of the best midfielders in the world.In addition, he is only 29 years old this year, so he should be at his peak.

Passing has always been Vieira's strength.

Unexpectedly, such an easy pass this time turned out to be a pass error.The power was too small to reach Van Persie directly.Instead, it was grabbed by Alonso in the middle.

"Vieira's current state is really worrying. Such a simple ball can't be passed well. It doesn't look like the ball Vieira should pass."

Alonso is the brains of Blackburn.

How could this chance of counterattack be missed.After Alonso grabbed the ball, he handed it to Kaka in front of him.

Kaka is a great weapon for Blackburn's counterattack.

When Kaka got the ball, only Cesc Fabregas was behind him.Fabregas is now playing for Vieira.

So Kaka took the ball and Fabregas came to defend.

It's a pity that Cesc Fabregas's speed is average and his defense is average.Kaka easily broke through from the side of Cesc Fabregas, and then rushed directly with the ball.

Mexes continued to stare at Drogba, while Xigan stepped forward to defend Kaka.

Xigan is the kind of person who is not well-known.But a player who can be used as a substitute.Very practical.

Facing Kaka, Xigan and Mex kept a certain distance.Because once the distance between the two people is a little far, Kaka is likely to pass the two people directly with speed.

Kaka did not continue to break through, seeing Xigan coming out, he immediately passed the ball to Micoud on the right.Then he inserted himself in.

"Micoud, pass the ball...Micoud gave the ball to Drogba in front."

The running of the frontcourt is very tacit.

They will never run together, but spread out, pulling Arsenal's defense.

"Drogba...pass back!"

After Drogba got the ball, he passed the ball back to Pires from the left.

Drogba and Pires are like a pick and roll in basketball.Drogba leaned against Mex and blocked Toure who defended Pires.Sigan in the middle was pulled by Kaka, while Ashley Cole was defending Micoud.

So the moment Pires took the ball, there was an obvious gap in the middle.

"Pirres, shoot!"

Such an opportunity, how could Pires let go.

In this position, Pires' shooting has always been very threatening.

Before the rise of Kaka, Pires had always been the player with the most goals in Blackburn's midfield.This has to do with his shooting ability.

"Lehmann, failed to save the ball."

"Pires, Pires. He scored the first goal of the game."

"One to zero, Blackburn leads Arsenal one to zero. Now Arsenal are in a difficult situation. Look at the current Arsenal players, they are already a little tired."

Mortenson saw it right.

Arsenal players are a little tired.

When Blackburn counterattacked just now, Vieira and Ljungberg, who had been actively returning to defense before, just ran to the middle and stopped.Why?Because they are really not strong enough.

Even Mortensen, a commentator, could see it, not to mention George and Wenger.

Wenger was helpless.

Arsenal are not Mourinho's Chelsea.Even if Chelsea send a second lineup, they are a strong team in the Premier League.But Arsenal can't.

Arsenal's lineup is not that thick.

Why the Triple Crown is so respected.

It is because of the difficulty of the Triple Crown.

Look at Arsenal right now.Participated in the quarter-finals of the Champions League and then the semi-finals of the FA Cup is so lacking in physical strength.

Only when you are willing can you get it.

If Arsenal want the FA Cup and the Champions League, it may be a chicken-and-egg fight.

But at this time, George has no plans for Arsenal.After scoring a goal, George was unwilling to give Arsenal any chance to breathe.

About 35 minutes into the first half, it was when Arsenal's physical strength reached a bottleneck.They must not be let down.You have to go all out and beat Arsenal to the ground.

So after scoring a goal, Blackburn was more active.

In the opening stage, Blackburn used more passing and running.But after scoring a goal, Blackburn's offense is now becoming more and more direct.

Except for one place.

It is the right side guarded by Maicon.Although Reyes was honest, George didn't doubt his strength at all.Therefore, Maicon's task is to continue to mark Reyes.But despite the lack of Maicon, Blackburn's offense has no effect at all.

Alonso is getting more and more active.

Pass the ball forward frequently.Cooperating tacitly with the retreating Miku, the passing between several people became more and more frequent.

And Arsenal's midfielder can only retreat more and more.Vieira and Cesc Fabregas simply couldn't stop the attacks of Alonso, Micoud, Kaka and others.If it is Vieira at his peak, it may be that one man is in charge of the other.

It's a pity that Vieira's state has dropped too much now.

The increase in the pace of the game has left Arsenal players with no chance to catch their breath.Their physical problems are getting worse.

In fact, even if Arsenal players lack physical strength, it shouldn't be shown in the first half.But it was mainly because of the Arsenal players, who were not able to catch their breath in the first half and were under a lot of pressure all the time.That's why I feel so tired.

Many Arsenal players have already felt the heaviness of their pace.

At the end of the first half, Blackburn got another chance.After Miku on the right got the ball, he failed to break through Ashley Cole.Of course, Miku's current explosive power can't break through Ashley Cole.

It's a pity that Cole himself is a little tired.

When Micoud got the ball, he failed to mark Micoud closely.Just a little gap, Miku caught it.

Micoud has excellent footwork and excellent passing.A small gap is enough for Miku to make a cross.Micoud's cross is very accurate.

Drogba overwhelmed Mex, dived to the top, and headed into the goal.

George clenched his fists.

Arsenal are in a bad state right now.If you don't grasp this kind of god-given opportunity, you will be struck by lightning.
