Coaching legend

At the beginning of the game, Blackburn unexpectedly launched a strong offensive against Bayern Munich.

Although Blackburn has achieved good results recently, Bayern Munich players and coaches have a little contempt for Blackburn. Bayern's formation is 3-5-2, of course, it can also be changed to 5-3-2. This is completely based on the progress of the game and can be adjusted at any time.

But from the beginning of the game, it can be found that Bayern played 3-5-2.

Salihamidzic and Lizarazu on the two sides stood completely in the middle. There was no intention to retreat at all.

George used Bellamy in this game to let Pires rest for a while. George hoped that Bellamy's speed could play a role.

Blackburn's sudden offensive scared the Bayern players. In their opinion, they were the only ones who bullied Blackburn, and there was no capital for Blackburn to be arrogant. But it was just a little contempt of Bayern that made them pay the price.

The Bayern star was somewhat at a loss under the powerful attack of Blackburn.

Twelve minutes into the game, the fiercely offensive Blackburn scored the first goal.

Klose, who has been in excellent form recently, seized a mistake made by Kuffour and scored the first goal of the game before Kahn could react.

"GOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!!!!!!!"

Klose's goal ignited the atmosphere of the whole stadium. Blackburn fans, who are very satisfied with Blackburn's performance this season, have long been looking forward to a chance to play against the European giants. They all want to test Blackburn's current strength.

Now Klose scored a goal, which made Blackburn fans cheer.

"Miro Klose!"

"Miro Klose!"

Such cheers for Klose were heard one after another.

Klose's form last season was already very good. At the end of a season, Klose had scored more than 20 goals. But now the season is not even halfway through, and Klose has almost scored 20 goals.

George was very excited. Now leading Bayern by one to zero, George seemed to see victory.

What about Bayern?

Hitzfeld came forward and shouted something, but George couldn't hear it clearly even though he was close. Because Ewood Park was currently full of huge cheers. But Hitzfeld's movements were very large.

Kahn on the field also shouted at his back line, very dissatisfied with Kuffour's mistake just now.

Looking at Kahn, George admired him very much. Lion King Kahn is definitely a domineering player. He is also the best goalkeeper in the world football at present.

After falling behind, Bayern's German team character was revealed. They will never admit defeat, and the whole team is like a precision instrument. They immediately started to counterattack.

Soon the rhythm on the field was controlled by Bayern. Bayern told Blackburn that the goal just now was just their carelessness. When Bayern started to counterattack, Blackburn players felt very uncomfortable playing. Although George has only been a head coach for six seasons, he has played against various teams.

George has encountered various types of teams.

Among them are teams with strong off-ball running like Manchester United, teams with beautiful playing styles like Arsenal, and passionate clubs like Leeds United. Of course, we have also played against Italian clubs like Lazio this season.

But it is the first time to play against a team like Bayern, which is like an army.

Bayern has no shortage of big stars, but none of them can be above the team. Including the tiger Effenberg with a strong personality, he also obeys the whole team. Every player of Bayern consciously abides by the team's tactics and skills.

Facing such a disciplined team, Blackburn players are not used to it.

In the midfield, their defense and offense are like calculated.

When Deco, Miku and others want to attack with the ball, Bayern players will defend and attack in unison. Jeremes spared no effort when sweeping in the backcourt and Effenberg defended. Even Saul would never attack without defense.

This is the first time George has encountered such a unified tactical team.

Blackburn's style of play is very restrained against them. As soon as Miku got the ball in the frontcourt, two or three people would instantly form a circle. The unique characteristics of German players were fully revealed in this game.

Since taking the lead, Blackburn has become more and more passive, and in the end it was in a mess. Fortunately, Blackburn's defense is not bad.

However, before the end of the first half, Blackburn still lost a ball.

On the left, facing Sagnol, Sauer made a match with Lizarazu. Then he passed the ball very beautifully into the penalty area. After receiving the ball, Elber dribbled past Blanco. After creating a gap, he immediately shot.

Elber's movements were too fast.

And there were some problems with Cudicini's position. He failed to defend the ball.

George stamped his feet. Elber is not weak. Facing Blanco, he was able to dribble past him in the small penalty area with such a wonderful move. Although Blanco is slow to turn and chase back, his frontal defense is definitely among the top in the world. In the current European football world, there are definitely not many players who can use a small technique to get past Blanco.

Not only that, Elber's shooting is also excellent. In the moment of getting the ball, in addition to getting past Blanco, he can also observe the position of the goalkeeper. This person is definitely a world-class striker.

Unfortunately, this kind of striker has no place in the Brazilian national team.

This is Elber's misfortune. Who made Elber a Brazilian?

If this kind of striker was in England, he would be a national treasure.

What combination will England's forward line be in the next ten years? Owen and Heskey, Owen and Crouch, Rooney and Crouch, anyway, Owen is the leader in the front, and Rooney is the leader after Owen is injured. There is no good striker in the whole of England, so when Rooney came out of nowhere, all the English media pinned their hopes on Rooney.

In the second half, George replaced Bellamy with Pires. Because of the passiveness throughout the game and the style of play of Bayern, Bellamy did not play well.

George hopes to use Pires to control the rhythm. Don't let Bayern play so proudly.

But after the start of the second half, the situation still did not improve. Bayern's offensive is still very fierce.

Effenberg, although George often said that Ballack was not inferior to Effenberg when he was in Burnley. But today, when he played against Effenberg, he realized how big the gap between Ballack and Effenberg was at that time.

Ballack's greatest ability is that he has a very accurate long pass. He can use long passes to mobilize the team's offense. He also has the ability to head and shoot from behind.

Effenberg has all of this. At this time, Effenberg's overall view is unmatched in the world of football. His pass is so accurate that it is unbelievable. Both long and short passes have penetrating power. At this time, Effenberg will never lose the ball after getting it, and he can pass the ball out, allowing his teammates to get the ball comfortably.

Ballack can never do this.

And Effenberg's leadership temperament on the field also exceeds Ballack. Effenberg was well organized when directing Bayern's midfield.

But George is not the kind of coach who doesn't fight back when beaten.

George immediately replaced Deco and let Davor Suker play.

Blackburn's strongest point is the midfield. But once the midfield can't control the ball, George decisively gives up the midfield. Since he can't beat Bayern in the midfield duel, George is ready to quickly break through the midfield.

Don't get entangled with you in the midfield. Just send the ball directly to the two wingers or the forward line.

Although George's move failed to immediately turn the situation around, Blackburn also began to have threatening shots during the attack. They got a lot of opportunities to threaten the opponent.

Bayern's three central defenders are indeed unstable. They always lose the ball in this game, giving Blackburn a lot of opportunities. But at this time, Bayern has a goalkeeper who is against the sky, that is Kahn. Kahn at this time did not make many low-level mistakes.

Therefore, facing Kahn, Blackburn had no way to do anything.

After you come and go, Bayern's advantage is not that big. The game passed by minute by minute, and George was still satisfied with the current situation. Although it was a bit regrettable to draw with Bayern at home, it was not an unacceptable result.

But just when everyone thought the game would end in a draw, Saul, who had already assisted one goal in this game, made another cross from the left.

This cross did not reach the penalty area, but near the penalty area.

Effenberg stepped forward and volleyed. Effenberg's long shot was absolutely abnormal. In the blink of an eye, the ball was already in the goal. All the Blackburn defenders were dumbfounded, and Cudicini was also staring at the ball blankly, without any reaction.

George looked at Effenberg and shook his head.

This is the role of a superstar. The greatest ability of a superstar should be to stand up when the team needs it.

Why are there many fans questioning whether Zidane is a superstar touted by the media. But all expert media believe that Zidane is the best player in Europe in the past 50 years. That's because every time it comes to an important game, Zidane will perform well.

When the strong dialogue, Zidane often uses outstanding performance to help the team defeat the opponent.

This is a superstar.

A team can only become a real strong team if it has such a superstar. George has the highest hopes for Miku, but so far Miku has not shown this ability to turn the tide. Miku may have this strength, but he does not have such a strong heart.

After Effenberg scored, there were less than three minutes left.

George didn't want to lose at home, so he made a big move and let the team attack Bayern. Unfortunately, he didn't get what he wanted in the end. He could only accept the first defeat of the Champions League this season. He lost to Bayern 1-2 at home.

But George was not too depressed after the game.

"This game is entirely my responsibility. I didn't fully estimate the cruelty of the game before the game, and my players did very well. But this defeat will not have any impact on our performance."

George rarely criticizes his players in front of the media after the game. Even if the game is lost, George will say his own mistakes. If the players make mistakes, George can handle it internally.
