Chapter 214: Breaking out of the cocoon (Part 2)

George was very happy to equalize the score in the first half.

"In the second half, we will still attack the wing. Beat back Newcastle's two wingers." The first half taught George a lot about what targeted play is. Robson's play was completely targeted at Blackburn.

The passivity in the first half was completely because George failed to resolve Robson's play in time. The first half was over, and George gradually came to his senses. Newcastle's strength is still far behind Blackburn, but he was just stunned in the first half.

Now that he has calmed down, George will counterattack.

No matter how powerful Robson's wrist is, the team's strength cannot be improved all at once.

Blackburn's two wingers are very distinctive and have been trained for a long time. Among the Premier League clubs, Blackburn's two wing attacks are definitely among the best. Even compared to Manchester United and Arsenal, they are not inferior.

The role of the wing was not played well in the first half. In the second half, George will use his wing attack to make Newcastle roll back completely.

"Giovanni, Willy, after the start of the second half, press forward boldly. Only when we press forward, their wing will shrink back."

"Anderson, focus on defense in the second half. But you must not give up the attack. Once you attack, press to this position." George pointed to the opponent's 40-meter area to Deco. Deco is very strong, but he has not yet reached his peak.

But Deco is still young now, only 22 years old. It is very good to be able to play as a main player in the Premier League at this age. And it is also a team's metronome.

"Okay, I tell you. Newcastle has only a few tricks back and forth. Since they are unwilling to increase the speed of attack. Then let's increase the speed of attack. Speed ​​up the two wingers for me."

When George came out, he looked at Robson. The old saying is that the old ginger is still spicy, and it is indeed true. Robson's coaching experience for so many years is indeed too rich. He is still too immature in experience.

When Robson came out, his expression was still very calm, but there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

George disliked this kind of smile the most, because this kind of smile is usually a confident smile.

Robson was indeed satisfied with his performance in the first half, although he lost a goal in the end. But Robson believed that the second half of the game was still under his control.

However, Robson's smile froze less than two minutes after the start of the second half.

"Klose! It's Klose!" Even Martin Taylor was stunned. "This game is really interesting. Blackburn changed the score on the field just over a minute after the start of the second half. Look at how many fans have not sat in their seats. It's so unexpected. Look at Sir Robson who was stunned on the field."

"Yes, everyone is criticizing Klose's goal efficiency. I didn't expect Klose to have three goals in three games."

Indeed, not long after the start of the game, Saniol and Duff on the wing made a simple two-on-one pass and then made a cross on the wing.

It was a very ordinary cross, and the cross didn't land very well. There was already a Newcastle defender at that position. At this time, Klose ran in front of the opponent's defender like a loach, jumped high, and headed for the goal, scoring the second goal of the game.

The ball was too close, and Given didn't react at all. He saw the ball bouncing in his own goal.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!!!!!! We've overtaken the score, two to one. Klose! Klose!"

The cheers at the scene made many fans who had not yet entered their positions regret secretly. They ran into the stadium quickly, saw that they were already ahead in the score, and cheered with other fans before they sat down.

George didn't expect to be so easy to lead by one goal, and waved his fist fiercely. Now, no matter what changes Robson made, George was no longer afraid. Because they were behind, Robson had no other way.

If Robson wanted to get points, there was only one way, which was to attack. In addition to attacking, Newcastle now had no way.

Robson was indeed very angry. Robson had his own plans in the second half, but he didn't expect Newcastle to fall behind just after the game started. All his rhythm and ideas were disrupted.

Robson was reluctant to press forward, because once he pressed forward, Blackburn had many masters of counterattack. Especially the counterattacks on the two sides were absolutely fatal. But not attacking was not an option. In the end, Robson decided that you play yours and I play mine.

Blackburn was now attacking the wing, so Newcastle was tight on the wing. Both wing forwards were in the back position and were busy defending. In this case, Robson decided to break through from the middle. Speed ​​and Solano were both good players in the middle, so Robson decided to play in the middle.

At this time, George also adjusted the tactics on the field. After taking the lead, George thought of Robson's idea. Robson's current attack must be the idea of ​​controlling the second point. Controlling the second point is not that easy.

At the beginning of the first half, it was because Newcastle's attack was somewhat three-dimensional. Not only the forwards, but even the two wingers participated in the attack. Blackburn's defense was a bit distracted. Now Blackburn used a tough attitude to press Newcastle's wing. Without the support of the wing, only the middle wanted to control the second point, which underestimated Makelele.

Because his physical fitness is not as good as other midfielders, Makelele has put a lot of thought into choosing his position. It can be said that the biggest reason why Makelele can gain a foothold is his excellent defensive awareness. It is not so easy for Newcastle to control the second point.

George saw Newcastle's central players pressing up, so he changed the original parallel position into a diamond position. Let Deco go forward and Makelele go back. You go in and I go in, this is George's idea.

Deco went forward, only Makelele defended, and it seemed that the defense thickness became thinner. But Newcastle also pressed up the middle, and their defense also had problems. So George boldly changed the formation to a diamond midfield. George practiced this style of play many times during summer training.

Deco was very comfortable playing the central midfielder position, which made Newcastle's defensive midfielder at a loss. It was difficult for one person to defend Deco when attacking. But if he didn't attack, how could he control the second point? And if he didn't attack, he would have to admit defeat.

"Deco is definitely George's most exciting acquisition at Blackburn. Look at Deco's performance. Newcastle is now stuck in a dilemma." Andy Gray did not hide his admiration for Deco.

George's sudden change of formation caught Robson off guard.

George's Blackburn has always played 4-2-3-1, a midfield control and pressure style. Robson has a deep understanding of this formation. And after George replaced Miku in the first half, Robson also thought he had mastered Blackburn's tactics.

But Blackburn changed to a diamond formation, which Robson did not guard against in time.

English teams have played parallel positions for nearly 40 years. Up to now, most professional teams in England have been playing in a 4-4-2 formation with parallel positions. As an English coach, Robson is quite familiar with the tactics of parallel positions.

Therefore, Robson definitely did not expect Blackburn to change so much.

Speed ​​was very tired defending Deco. Deco's skills were not particularly gorgeous, but it was definitely very difficult to snatch the ball. If someone said that Deco was a Brazilian player, many people would not believe it. Because Deco's skills were definitely not like those from Brazil, but rather a very European midfielder. His ball control skills were simple but useful.

Thirteen minutes into the second half, Deco once again passed Speed ​​and wanted to pass to the left. Speed, who had lost his position, quickly made a sliding tackle to stop Deco's pass. Unfortunately, Deco was just a feint, and Speed ​​completely lost his position.

There was almost a flat surface in front of Deco. At this time, Davor Suker in front retreated to respond, and the central defender defending Suker also followed Suker.

At that moment, Deco's pass was passed to where Davor Suker had just stood. Because the defender defending Suker also followed Suker, that position was empty. A figure came to that empty space like lightning.

"... Deco, beautiful, Speed ​​was completely dribbled past by Deco... Deco, pass the ball... There is a large open space, Klose! It's Klose, Klose is on the singles!"

The one who appeared in that empty space was Klose. The moment Suker left, Klose had already started. Just received the ball passed by Deco, followed the ball, and faced Given directly.

This is an offensive routine that has been practiced for a long time. They all remembered what they trained in the summer. One striker withdrew and the other striker rushed in. Coupled with Deco's accurate pass, this situation occurred.

Newcastle's defense line was in chaos, but at this time no one could defend Klose.

In terms of absolute speed, Klose is nothing in the English football world where speed-type strikers gather. But in terms of his explosive power, his explosive power in an instant is definitely ranked first in the English football world. He ran after the ball, and at that moment all the Newcastle defenders were behind Klose.

"Klose, has already scored two goals. Is he going to get a hat trick?"

At the moment when Klose scored alone, George watched nervously from the sidelines.

And all the fans stood up and looked at Klose. They almost held their breath, afraid that their voices would disturb Klose. But they were all shouting in their hearts, "Klose, score one!"

"Given has already left the goal. What will Klose choose?"

"Klose, shoot, it's not that he used his speed to pass Given. There was a big empty goal left, Klose! Hat trick, Klose's performance in this game was too wonderful."
