Chapter 75
"Camoranesi, the cross... Klose, oops, missed it."

"Duff, past Grant, cross to center... Sherwood, shot. Caught by Jass Kleining."

The game has just started, and neither side has reservations.You come and I fight, it's so lively.Daniel's injury was nothing more than an episode.

The offenses of Blackburn and Burnley this time are very clear, which is to attack the opponent's wing.Blackburn has Stuart Ripley on the right and Damien Duff on the left, both of whom are good attackers.

With the rise of Duff, Blackburn's wing strength has increased a lot.

Hodgson's style of play this season is to attack from the side, but he is not yet mature.This is very similar to Burnley's style of play. Burnley now also relies heavily on side attacks.

Ljungberg and Camoranesi are one on the left and one on the right, both of whom are good at attacking.Burnley's wing attack in League One is very distinctive.Ljungberg on the left often cuts in and shoots, and Camoranesi takes full advantage of his cross.And at George's request, the two would switch positions from time to time.These two are good wide players who can lead, attack, pass and shoot, and they spare no effort even when defending.

Coupled with Ballack's excellent scheduling in the middle, Burnley's side attacks have always been unfavorable.

It is never possible for a team's offense to rely on only one part.The combination of side and center is the best way, only the side attack without the cooperation of the center, then there is no root duckweed.Only attacking in the middle, without support from the side, it is difficult to tear apart the opponent's dense defense.Only with a side attack can we tear apart the opponent's defense.With the support of the center, the side can really play well.

George replaced Robbie Keane for this game, and Matthew Holland was used to contain Sherwood in the middle of Blackburn.As long as Sherwood is guarded and without Sherwood's pass, Ripley and Duff alone will not find a good breakthrough opportunity.

So George asked Grant to replace Finnan in order to defend Duff.

It's a pity that George underestimated the spiritual power and underestimated Duff.

Until more than 20 minutes into the first half, neither side was able to score.In fact, both sides have good opportunities, but the forwards have not been able to grasp the opportunities.

"The game has gone on for 23 minutes, and the score is still zero to zero. But I believe this score will never last, the two sides are completely open. Look at Blackburn's attack today, if Blackburn has this game every game The offensive ability of the game will not be ranked in the relegation zone of the Premier League."

"Yeah, the game went by really fast. It's been over 20 minutes so quickly, except for the lack of a goal, the game has been perfect so far."

"Alan, I think neither Hodgson nor George wants to lose in this game."

At this moment, Duff, who was very active at the beginning, got the ball.Duff just passed Grant with a simple touch of the ball.Grant was not a speedy full-back in the first place. George chose him this time mainly because he hoped to use his mental strength and rich experience to guard against Duff.

It's a pity that he has been forced by Duff many times, and Grant is indeed old.In the face of Duff's unreasonable speed, he couldn't keep up with the rhythm at all.

After Duff passed Grant, Mitchell came over to help defend.Already entered the penalty area, Mitchell paid great attention to defensive actions.But Duff's movements were very fast, and it seemed that he was going to wipe it in, but in fact he shook Mitchell.

Speaking of which, Mitchell has a lot of experience and is rarely passed by like this.But the main reason is that the frequency of Duff's feet was too fast, and he was swayed in one fell swoop.Duff tapped his left foot lightly, flicked his right calf, and shot!

Because Mitchell blocked Jasmine's view, he didn't make a hasty move until the ball was coming fast.It's a pity that it was too late, and the ball rolled into the goal quickly.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!! Damien Duff, a stroke of genius! It's totally Duff's performance, cheers! Damien Duff, our hero!" when Duff's ball went in At that time, the live commentator chanted Duff's name.

Duff is also very happy, being able to score Burnley's goal, this goal is of great significance.Duff ran all the way, walked up to Hodgson, and hugged Hodgson.

"Blackburn scored first, it was Damien Duff. Blackburn who scored first, the balance of victory has fallen to Blackburn. It depends on how George adjusts."

"Duff is indeed a very good winger that has appeared in the Premier League in recent years. Just now, he almost single-handedly defeated Burnley's proud defense."

"George's appointment of Grant was a failure. Now Grant is no longer the same Grant. He is too old to keep up with Burnley's rhythm."

After seeing the goal, Hodgson simply shook his fist.There was nothing too exciting. Although Hodgson hated George very much, in Hodgson's view, winning Burnley was a matter of course.

Although Blackburn has fallen, it is also the foundation of the Premier League champions.

On the contrary, the reaction of the Blackburn fans was very fierce. The moment Duff scored the goal, Ewood Park erupted into loud cheers.The last time they lost at home to Burnley, the Blackburn fans took a deep breath.More importantly, George not only provoked the fans at the time, but also teased Blackburn after the game.These old accounts Blackburn fans have not forgotten at all.

Moreover, Blackburn's performance in the Premier League is very poor, but Blackburn fans have not been able to cheer to their heart's content.

This time leading Burnley at home, they finally have a place to vent their anger.Of course they laughed at George while they cheered.These fans are very talented and have made up all kinds of lyrics to satirize Burnley and George.

But George didn't have time to pay attention to them, he just frowned and watched the situation on the court.

"Steve, go warm up."

Although Duff is very powerful, as long as the ball is defended well, he shouldn't be allowed to enter the penalty area so easily.Grant's defense is very problematic when facing Duff.

George also regrets why Grant was started.Knowing Grant's appearance has completely become a weakness of Burnley.
