Chapter 384: A Show of Strength

After the game started, Real Madrid was a little cautious.

Although Bosque knew about Blackburn, it was the first time they met in this level of competition. So Bosque was a little cautious, and Real Madrid players also wanted to try Blackburn, so they were very careful after the game started.

But George didn't care about that.

Although Real Madrid has not shown very obvious performance yet. But it is obvious that Real Madrid has begun to show an attitude of focusing on offense and neglecting defense.

Therefore, George just came up and started to attack before Real Madrid could react. George didn't even want to test a little bit.

Real Madrid has not found a suitable defensive midfielder since Redondo left. First, Elguera has been playing as a defensive midfielder, and then the Argentine teenager Cambiasso was taken back.

Cambiasso is a product of Real Madrid's youth training camp. He has been trained in Real Madrid's youth training camp since he was sixteen years old.

Later, Real Madrid loaned Cambiasso to the Argentine First Division and just took him back this season. After taking him back, Cambiasso is still highly valued by Bosque. Although he cannot be said to have played most of the games this season, he is also one of the main players.

In this eye-catching Champions League final, Cambiasso, a 22-year-old young player, started the game.

Cambiasso is very strong. Although he is not fast, he has a strong coverage area and the ability to run, so he is still an excellent defensive midfielder. However, Cambiasso is still young now, and the biggest problem is that he always loses his position.

In other words, Cambiasso's current position grasping ability is very poor.

A defensive midfielder, if the position sense is not good. Then it is not a good defensive midfielder. Although it can be slightly compensated by diligence, it can only be compensated a little bit. Therefore, Cambiasso is not a good defensive midfielder now.

In this game, Bosque's deployment of troops is very bold. The left side is the virtual left forward Zidane, the middle is Guti, the right side is Figo, and the forwards are Raul and Morientes. These five people are attacking players, and they rarely come back to help defend.

George was also surprised by Bosque's lineup arrangement. George believes that Bosque will send Solari, a player who can attack and defend well. I didn't expect Bosque to be so bold as to send Guti.

In this way, Real Madrid's offense is very strong. But there will be many problems in defense.

In other words, Real Madrid's offense relies on these people. But when defending, there is only Cambiasso in the middle.

Therefore, Real Madrid's offense is very strong. But the defense is...

So when Blackburn attacked fiercely, Real Madrid was a little flustered.

"... Miku, pass... Pires, cross... Hierro topped it. And Miku who came in from behind, shot! It went wide."

Cambiasso was very tired defending Miku alone.

"Pires, passed Carlos... Casillas rushed out!"

This time George put Pires on the right and Duff on the left. It was because the left-back Carlos was too strong, and George didn't think Duff's speed and passing could pose too much threat to Carlos.

But putting Duff on the left to face Salgado, the fierce general, was very suitable. In the Real Madrid defense line, Salgado's position was the weakest.

Pires, however, is a cunning old man. He can definitely deal with Carlos, and he has an advantage against Carlos, who is strong in attack but weak in defense.

As expected, Pires was able to handle Carlos, who is known as the best left-back in the world, with ease. Carlos, on the other hand, was not used to Pires' attack.

George shook his head on the court.

Pires has talent and strength, and his strength is not inferior to Figo of Real Madrid. George thinks so. But Figo is the Footballer of the Year and the soul player of the Portuguese national team. Pires did not get the corresponding affirmation.

However, Blackburn's fierce attack after the opening still scared Real Madrid.

"Blackburn started the fierce attack at the beginning. Blackburn, who entered the Champions League final for the first time, was not timid at all against Real Madrid, which has eight Champions League titles."

George did not mean to change.

Blackburn's attack was still fierce.

"...Miku, pass...Duff, cross...Klose, head shot! Casillas...It's a corner kick! Klose is in good shape."

"This is Blackburn's third shot within ten minutes of the start."

Bosque frowned when he saw Klose's header.

Bosque's judgment on Blackburn's starting lineup before the game was that Anelka would start. Because Anel is Blackburn's best striker in the second half of the season. And Klose returned from a serious injury and has not yet recovered to his best form.

But George didn't expect Klose to start.

Another thing he didn't expect was that George put Kaka, the biggest contributor to the semi-finals, on the bench. The midfield became a lineup of Deco, Miku and Makelele again.

All of this was beyond Bosque's expectations.

Bosque was very dissatisfied with the current situation on the field. Real Madrid is not a defensive team. Real Madrid's entry into the Champions League final was not based on defense. Real Madrid entered the Champions League final entirely relying on their strong offensive strength.

But now the game has been going on for ten minutes and Real Madrid has not made any attack. Instead, they were squeezed into the half by Blackburn.

This made Bosque frown.

"This is a corner kick... Pires is going to take this corner kick... at the back post... Campbell, it's Campbell!"

At the corner kick, all the tall players on Blackburn came to the back line of Real Madrid. Including Ferdinand, Campbell and others. Pires' corner kick was very curved and was sent near the back point. Campbell, who had been cruising at the back point, suddenly rushed up and headed for the goal.

"Campbell, Campbell headed the ball!"

"GOOOOOOOOAL!!!!!!!!!!" Mortensen shouted. "Campbell, he scored the first goal of the game. It is also the first goal in the Champions League final in Blackburn's history."

"In the twelfth minute of the game, Blackburn led 1-0. Haha, Blackburn led Real Madrid 1-0 in the Champions League final."

"Who could have thought before the game that it was Blackburn who was leading. 1-0, from the start to now, Blackburn has completely suppressed Real Madrid."

Seeing Campbell's goal, the cheers of the Blackburn fans at Hampden Park were like a volcanic eruption.

The whole Hampden Park was drowned by the cheers of Blackburn fans.

No matter how proud Blackburn fans are, they still feel a little depressed when facing Real Madrid, which holds eight big-eared trophies. Eight big-eared trophies, what does that mean? It's even the same number of championships that Blackburn had won in history before George took over. In addition, Real Madrid has been very strong in the Champions League in recent years, winning the Champions League twice in 1998 and 2000.

Facing such an opponent and such a club, it is impossible for Blackburn fans not to feel a little depressed.

But after the game started, Blackburn actually suppressed Real Madrid. Now they are leading by one to zero again.

After the suppression, the momentum that broke out was even more fierce. Therefore, the cheers of Blackburn fans made the entire Hampden Park stadium feel like it was in the crater of a volcano. Everyone felt the unparalleled momentum of Blackburn fans.

George raised his hands high and clenched his fists tightly when he saw Campbell's goal. George was satisfied with the team's performance. The round of fierce attack after the start of the game finally produced results.

Leading Real Madrid, and in the Champions League final.

George sometimes dreams of such scenes. But I didn't expect it to become a reality.

Campbell stared at the ball flying into Real Madrid's goal, without any excitement to celebrate. He just grinned. His white teeth didn't match his skin color, which looked funny.

But the players next to him came to Campbell, hugged Campbell, and celebrated.

Campbell was very excited.

At that time, Tottenham played in the Premier League for nearly ten seasons and only won one League Cup. In addition to the League Cup, not to mention the League Championship, he didn't even enter some cup finals. Not to mention the Champions League, the highest honor for European football clubs.

I didn't expect that in the first season of transferring to Blackburn, he had already won the Premier League championship. And he also entered the Champions League final.

What's even better is that he scored the first goal for the team in the Champions League final.

All these added up, Campbell was only excited.

"Blackburn leads Real Madrid by one to zero. George told everyone not to underestimate Blackburn from the countryside. Maybe others don't know that George actually has a very proud record. That is, as long as they enter the finals, the club led by George will win the championship."

"England League Cup, England FA Cup, European Super Cup, UEFA Cup, George has won the championship by entering the finals. Now Blackburn has entered the Champions League final. Let's wait and see if George continues to keep this record."

Motson was also very happy.

Real Madrid, you are strong? But as an English football commentator, Mortensen certainly hopes that the English club will win.

Bosque was very angry.

He grabbed Hierro on the sidelines and told him to attack, attack. If Real Madrid does not attack, then it is not Real Madrid.

Real Madrid players were also very angry.

The current Real Madrid team is full of superstars. They are all arrogant people. Being beaten to the ground by a nobody like Blackburn. Anyone would be angry, let alone the superstars of Real Madrid.

So even without Bosque's adjustment, they would attack.

After the game resumed, Real Madrid never retreated. Their idea is very simple, they will not allow anyone to insult Real Madrid and themselves like this. What is a rich club? Rich clubs have dignity. What is a superstar? Superstars also have dignity. They will not allow any team to act so wildly.

Sometimes dignity is the foundation.

The same is true for these Real Madrid superstars. They now feel that they have been insulted by a small team from the countryside of England.

So when the game resumed, they stepped up their attack against Blackburn.

Only attacking and scoring goals can wash away this shame. And when Real Madrid stepped up their attack, everyone saw the strong offensive strength of Real Madrid.

The end of the two updates.
