Coaching legend

After the game resumed, Real Madrid was much more stable. There was no such fierce attack as at the beginning.

George smiled slightly. At the beginning of the game, Real Madrid looked down on Blackburn for sure. But after being scored a goal, they paid a little attention to Blackburn.

Real Madrid did not tear open Blackburn's defense directly from the middle, but began to frequently use the wing. Especially Figo's right wing.

Before the joy of scoring was over, Riise began a very uncomfortable process. Riise may be the best left back in the French Ligue 1, but facing Figo, it was like a child facing an adult.

Figo is not only excellent in technology and strength, but more importantly, he is experienced. Facing Riise, a rookie who has only played as a main player in the French Ligue 1 for one season, he is completely at ease.

"Figo... passing, beautiful! Riise was completely shaken."

Figo just shook his upper body towards Riise, and Riise was completely at a loss. Fortunately, Riise has good physical fitness, especially amazing explosive power. So even though Figo easily dribbled past him, he was still able to get back close to Figo.

But in just a moment, Figo had enough time to do a lot of things.

"Figo, cross the ball... Raul, he bypassed Ferdinand... Blanco cleared the ball before Raul."

At the moment when Figo passed the ball, Raul was very smart to bypass Ferdinand. Although Ferdinand is very strong, he lacks experience. Don't look at Raul, who is only 23 years old, he has been through many battles. He even scored in the Champions League final.

Raul's sense of smell in the penalty area is also what he is best at.

Fortunately, Blackburn has the veteran Blanco among the central defenders. At the moment when Raul bypassed Ferdinand, he stepped forward to squeeze Raul, and then cleared the ball before Raul got the ball.

"... Guti... heel, Figo got the ball... cut inside, Riise was knocked down. Figo, shoot! Unfortunately, it missed the goal post a little bit."

After Real Madrid's attack stabilized, Figo suddenly became active. Even Pires had to come back to defend Figo in desperation.

However, the two wingers of Real Madrid have their own characteristics, and neither is easy to deal with.

"... Guti, pass the ball... McManaman... Carlos, who comes in from behind, cross the ball!"

Carlos started to accelerate at full speed the moment McManaman got the ball. The speed in an instant shocked Sagnol, who was defending behind. Although he knew that Carlos was very fast, when he really faced him, Sagnol knew what speed was.

Carlos passed the ball forward, and then flew around Sagnol.

However, George had put a lot of effort into Blackburn's defense. Seeing Sagnol being broken through, Ferdinand immediately came to fill the position. And Sagnol quickly filled the empty space left by Ferdinand.

Seeing Ferdinand's filling position, Carlos did not hesitate at all. He kicked the ball directly.

Carlos' cross was a flat ball, which was passed directly into the Blackburn penalty area.

"... Morientes, head the ball... This ball is too straight. Cudicini lost it, Blanco quickly cleared it!"

"Blanco really doesn't look like a 35-year-old veteran. This game was too good. He has cleared the ball several times in the penalty area. George made a good deal."

George watched the ball flying in his penalty area, his heart pounding. George always thought that the strength of his team was not inferior to Real Madrid. But the current Blackburn players have not seen the big world.

Or they have not experienced big scenes and have not had much experience of playing against European giants.

Therefore, Blackburn players themselves are a little nervous when facing these giants. That's why they are passive now.

Looking at Blanco, George nodded. It was a wise decision for him to buy Blanco. Although Blanco is old and has some shortcomings. But just the calmness in such an important game is not something that ordinary players can have.

Ferdinand's current strength is definitely better than Blanco. But he is too young, so he is a little flustered.

George stepped forward and made a gesture to the players to suppress them. George needed to find his rhythm again. Blackburn was a team that controlled the ball in the midfield. Now the midfield was completely out of favor, which made George very dissatisfied.

The game passed for thirty minutes without him noticing. Since Blackburn scored a goal, Blackburn has been suppressed by Real Madrid. Pires and Duff in the front court returned to their own half to defend. Even Miku had to come back to assist in the defense.

When the game was in the thirty-sixth minute, Guti, who had been playing well in the first half, got the ball again.

Guti did not pass the ball immediately, but controlled the ball horizontally. Deco had been following Guti, but at this moment Guti suddenly shook his right ankle, and a half-high ball flew past Deco.

"Guti... pass the ball, the ball flew over Makelele's head! Raul! Raul got the ball."

Guti's pass was very sudden, and the angle and strength were very moderate. And at the moment when Guti passed the ball, Raul understood and appeared in Guti's passing route.

"…Raul… lob! It was a lob, Cudicini had no way to stop it! Goal, Real Madrid equalized the score."

"Raul, our prince. He scored the most beautiful goal! This is Raul's most iconic lob! Blackburn's defense is nothing in front of Raul!"

"Raul, what an elegant lob! Only Raul has such talent in the world. Raul, Raul is the best striker in the world right now!"

The Spanish commentator was like crazy, praising Raul. Almost all the praises he could use were given to Raul.

"There was something wrong with Cudicini's position for this ball." Andy Gray sighed. "Although Cudicini has performed well since coming to Blackburn, sometimes Cudicini still has some unstable problems. But Cudicini is 27 years old and still has a chance to correct his problems. But I don't know if Blackburn, which is currently on a strong upward trend, can afford to wait and give Cudicini time to correct his problems."

Seeing Raul score, George shook his head.

Cudicini did have a problem with his position. When Raul got the ball, Ferdinand and Blanco in front of him had already stood in position. Raul could either use his skills to get past them and shoot from an angle. Or he could only pass the ball.

The two central defenders have already taken their positions, and Cudicini should have guarded the goal line. But Cudicini stood forward.

It was because of this little gap that Raul caught it. Raul's very beautiful lob shot made Blanco and Ferdinand, who were already in position, helpless. And Cudicini was stunned by Raul's lob shot.

"Raul and Guti, the two players, have such a tacit understanding between them."

"I heard that they were best friends in the youth team. If not, they would not have played this kind of cooperation."

The Spanish commentator kept explaining how beautiful this goal was.

George didn't have much angry expression. Because George knew that Blackburn did not play as well as Real Madrid in the first half. It's just that he didn't expect Raul to be in such a good state.

George took advantage of Real Madrid's celebration and called Deco.

"Anderson, don't just focus on Guti. Use offense to suppress them, tell John. The opponent's midfield has only one defensive point, Elguera, put pressure on him. Let Guti retreat by himself. You have to pass the ball more. The task of defending Guti is to let Claude pay more attention to his passing route."

"Tell John, just like we train. Follow our established tactics."

"And tell Robert to keep putting pressure on Salgado."

Guti's outstanding performance made Blackburn's midfield retreat. This greatly weakened Miku's role. As long as Miku suppressed Elguera, Guti would definitely retreat. And George believed in Miku, Miku could definitely suppress Elguera.

Guti nodded. Go up and say something to Miku.

After scoring a goal, Real Madrid was ready to make persistent efforts and completely end the battle before the end of the first half. Unfortunately, they soon discovered it. The Blackburn midfielder, who had just retreated, began to compete with Real Madrid for the midfield.

In fact, Blackburn has five midfielders, especially in the middle, where Makelele, Deco and Miku were placed.

When Deco and Miku used the ball to keep the ball on Blackburn's side, Real Madrid found that Blackburn was not afraid of Real Madrid in terms of ball control. Or Blackburn's ball control was better than Real Madrid.

Miku was not afraid of Elguera's defense. He dared to do all kinds of actions.

Miku, who had not shown any performance until now, suddenly became active. And Pires on the right also actively cooperated with Miku.

Real Madrid saw it. Blackburn was staring at Salgado and wanted to attack Salgado. Now Salgado has a yellow card, so Salgado dared not make some fierce moves.

Salgado's most powerful skill is fierce defense, which will scare the offensive players. But once his fierce defense cannot be used, there will be many loopholes in his defense.

Attack and defense are like this. When Real Madrid attacked fiercely, Riise couldn't breathe against Figo. When Pires's offensive came up, he pushed Salgado back. Figo's attack was naturally suppressed.

However, Blackburn's style of play was quickly figured out by Real Madrid. Because Blackburn always passed the ball to Pires on the right after Miku got the ball. And Pires would focus on Salgado's side. The style of play was too monotonous.

Duff on the right did not show any performance at all when facing Carlos. After getting the ball, he would pass it to the middle and would never think about how to break through Carlos.

Everyone thought that Blackburn was completely bullying the weak and afraid of the strong. It was difficult to break through Carlos' side, so they concentrated their firepower on Salgado's side.

"... Carlos passed the ball... Ferdinand headed it out. Deco passed it to Miku... Miku... empty space, big empty space!"
