Chapter 523 Winning the midfield wins the world
Blackburn played vigorously, but unfortunately the threat was much less.

Mainly because Manchester United's defense is very stable.With the central defender combination composed of Ferdinand and Vidic, the defense is impeccable.Although Drogba is very tough, but Ferdinand and Vidic are not vegetarian.

But George didn't care.

Playing back and forth from the wing and the center, George believes that he can definitely break through the gate of Manchester United.

Especially Ribery and Yang Feng are not pure wide players.They are all able to play in the center and on the side. Once the full-back assists, they will give way to the side and go to the center.

Unless it is a long pass for Manchester United, the short pass cannot be passed to the front at all.

Less than 10 minutes into the game, Blackburn had already firmly suppressed Manchester United.

Fletcher is busy.

According to the corresponding position, Fletcher should be defending Kaka.But Kaka never stays where he is.Kaka is very good at running. This is all from playing with Micoud before.Moreover, he often switches positions with Franck Ribery and Yang Feng on the two sides.

Anderson should be helping Fletcher.

Too bad Anderson was like a walk.It doesn't help Fletcher at all.

So Fletcher is going to guard this, but also guard that.

Blackburn played on the wing, and he had to support the wing.After only playing for more than 20 minutes, Fletcher was already feeling very tired.

Fletcher is a physical freak.

Under normal circumstances, don't say that the game is played for 10 and [-] minutes, even if it is overtime, physical strength is not a problem.But now being attacked by three people in turn, although there is no problem with physical strength, people feel tired.

George looked at the situation on the field with a smile on his face.

Anderson, the fall is too fast.

Last season was one of the contributors to Manchester United winning the Champions League, but this season it has fallen to such a point.Anderson, known as "Ronaldo second."Ronaldinho's height has not been reached, but Ronaldinho's degeneration speed has been learned.

As for Giggs, he contributed a lot in the offense.But in defense, Giggs is completely invisible.His defense is more about stopping by fouls.

Seeing that the timing was almost up, George stepped forward and made a gesture.

Blackburn's attack became more intense.In particular, the flank assault became more resolute, and there were more crosses from the flank.

Although Ferdinand and Vidic are powerful, Drogba is not a vegetarian.Once or twice can't hit the ball, but three times and four times, five times and six times, as long as Ferdinand and Vidic are a little negligent, Drogba will get the chance.

Therefore, Manchester United's defense needs a high degree of tension.

The important thing is that after Blackburn stepped up their offense, Baines and Maicon also frequently stepped forward to attack.

Blackburn definitely has a way of attacking the full-backs.

Especially Baines and Maicon, their crosses are very good.

Fletcher and Anderson, and of course Park Ji-sung, all ran to the wing to support.Even Rooney can only retreat to defend.Anyway, Rooney has plenty of energy and can run the whole game without any problem.

Of course, Manchester United occasionally counterattacked.

Manchester United's counterattack is fast.Same with Blackburn.

Especially Ronaldinho and Rooney, once they counterattack, their speed is absolutely amazing.

It's a pity that their offensive power in the frontcourt is limited.In the past, when Giggs and Scholes were at their peak, once they counterattacked, they were very important points for counterattacking.It's just that Manchester United's midfield is not strong enough.

In the 31st minute of the game, Ferdinand once again topped the cross.

Blackburn controlled the second point well.

Immediately began to reorganize the attack.

The ball was passed to the wing again.Ribery has the ball.

"Franck Ribery... he got the ball, he... it was a cut inside and Ribery cut inside."

Ribery has always been outside breakthrough, and then cross.Although there is also incision, it is just not so decisive.This time, he dribbled the ball and cut in directly, bringing up Fletcher who assisted in the wing defense.Ribery was unable to find a shot because Fletcher was so close to Ribery.

"...pass the ball, Ribery passed it to Kaka."

Ribery continued to walk in the middle, and after Kaka got the ball, he took Ribery's original left.

Fletcher is alone, and he doesn't have superhuman powers.It is impossible to defend two people at once.So I can only continue to follow Ribery.And gave Kaka to others.

In this cross, Kaka actually had a chance to shoot.Although a little farther away, at that moment, there was a chance to shoot.But this opportunity was fleeting, Vidic rushed up and blocked the angle of Kaka's shot.

"Kaka, he hesitated... The ball has no chance to shoot, it was blocked by Vidic... Kaka, pass the ball."

In fact, Kaka didn't hesitate at all.

Kaka has been waiting, and after taking the ball, he deliberately paused, attracting Anderson next to him, and Vidic came forward.

When they were about to seal the angle, they tapped lightly and handed the ball to the back.

"Alonso, it's Alonso!"

It turned out that Alonso had rushed to the front.

Park Ji-sung, who had been pestering Alonso during the game, went to help defend the side because of tightness on the side.Fletcher was held back by Ribery, so Giggs was the only one next to Alonso at this time.

When Alonso took the ball, he just dunked it with his left foot, led the ball to his right foot, and at the same time swayed Giggs.

"Alonso, smash...Alonso! Shot!"

The entire Manchester United midfield and defense were messed up by Blackburn.So Alonso took the ball and shot at the right time.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!!!!" Mortensen yelled. "Alonso, it's Alonso! A beautiful long shot. This shot is 30 meters away from the goal. The speed and arc are perfect."

"Blackburn put United one-nil up thanks to Alonso's goal. It was a valuable away goal."

"Many people think that Blackburn's civil strife will make Blackburn lose their armor in this game. Almost no one thinks that Blackburn can enter the Champions League final, but after the game started, it was Blackburn who took the initiative on the field."

"One to zero, Blackburn lead away."

All kinds of negative news about Blackburn have been turbulent recently.Everyone thought that Blackburn would soon disintegrate.They shouldn't have any fighting power at all, but they didn't expect that after the game started, Blackburn would be alive and well.

Manchester United was out of breath.

George breathed a sigh of relief.

George was under a lot of pressure during this time.Not only to lead the team to play games, but also to appease these players.Of course, the important thing is that the internal turmoil in the club has seriously interfered with his work.

Goal now.

George can breathe a sigh of relief.

On the sidelines, Ferguson kept waving his hands, not knowing what to say.But pissed off for sure.

Ferguson spread his hands.

The transfer of Anderson and Nani did not achieve the desired effect.If it was Manchester United in the past, just invest some more money to buy a few players.But now Manchester United is also short of funds. It has already cost a lot of money to buy Anderson and Nani.

In a short period of time, it will be difficult for the club to fund itself.

Without money, you can't do anything in today's football.

The game restarted and Manchester United wanted to fight back.How to say Manchester United are the Champions League champions last season.

And among Manchester United's players, there are really many old players.They knew George well.

George is a well-known utilitarian coach in European football.As long as it's for victory, I don't care about any means.Together with Mourinho, he is considered to be one of the two most utilitarian young coaches in European football.In addition, Blackburn was originally a defensive and counterattack team, and now they are leading by one goal, of course they will defend and counterattack.

This is what all Manchester United players think.

It is also the thought of many people who follow this game.

Of course it was also Ferguson's idea.

It's a pity that they are all reasoned out according to common sense.And what George wants is to catch him by surprise.If you think so, George will do the opposite.

George just found a loophole in Manchester United's midfield, how could he give up.

After Manchester United kicked off, Manchester United wanted to attack.It's a pity that he was quickly beaten back by Blackburn.Because Blackburn didn't play a defensive counterattack at all, but continued to suppress Manchester United with offense.

George is very targeted for Manchester United's midfield.

For Fletcher it was a transfer.Don't confront him head-on.Because Fletcher's defense is indeed very strong.So use more speed and pass, anyway, just don't confront him head-on.Even Kaka, Franck Ribery, and Yang Feng rarely break through from Fletcher's side.

In the face of Anderson, the walking king, and Ryan Giggs, the veteran, it is a press.As soon as they get the ball, they rush up and press down.

And as long as Fletcher is mobilized, Manchester United's rear will be directly exposed to Blackburn's firepower.But Blackburn will definitely not shoot at will, but pass the ball very cumbersomely.

Use the center and sideways, and finally form a shot.

But some good opportunities are not out of reach.

Alonso's shot just now was a sudden grasp of this opportunity.

"beep--"

The referee came over and gave Fletcher a yellow card.Because Fletcher tackled Kaka in the middle.

After Fletcher got up, he was cursing.

he is very angry.

But anger is not against the Blackburn players.Instead, he was angry with his teammates, especially Anderson.Fletcher is very dissatisfied with Anderson.Fletcher has come to this position step by step by relying on his own efforts.

But when Anderson first came to Manchester United, he was already a genius.

But look at Anderson.The whole game was a walk.Leaving Fletcher alone was exhausting.

So that in the end, Vidic will come up to help Fletcher.

Just because of Anderson's inaction and Giggs' weak defensive ability, Manchester United's defense is becoming more and more problematic.

George was smiling on the sidelines.

Those who win the midfield win the world, this is definitely not a casual talk.

At the end of the first half, Blackburn got another chance on the wing.

Yang Feng first took the ball to the middle, and after attracting Vidic who was helping Fletcher, he suddenly passed the ball to Maicon on the right.Maicon plugged in at high speed, and it was a cross directly.

Drogba bypassed Ferdinand, a dive to the top.
