Chapter 444: Rejecting the Cold Open

"Blackburn trailed Monaco by 0-1. If they lose this game, it will be very difficult for Blackburn to appear in the group stage."

"Even God doesn't help Blackburn. In the last game, they fired more than 20 shots at AEK Athens but still failed to score. In this game, it was because of Lucio's mistake that the goal was scored."

Martin Taylor was speechless about Blackburn's lag.

This season's Blackburn seemed to be cursed in the Champions League. In the last game, there were four goal posts in one game. In the end, no goal was scored. Looking at this game, the weather was not good and Lucio fell.

Lucio's fall was a complete accident. Who would have thought that Lucio would suddenly fall by himself.

George frowned deeply on the sidelines.

Looked carefully at Monaco's style of play. Deschamps' midfield arrangement is very interesting. In today's European football, there are very few man-to-man defenses. Because man-to-man defense can easily lose position. Most of the current defense is the kind of zone defense.

Many clubs' defense is to stand still. Only when they enter their own defensive area, they will go back to defend.

But Deschamps' Monaco adopts a man-to-man defense in the midfield.

In this slippery field, it is still very effective. Micoud and Pires are not the kind of midfielders who run frequently, so it is no problem to stick to them closely. In addition, it is raining weather, and their technical movements are also affected, which makes their power much less powerful.

Man-to-man defense, I ask you to mark man.

George went up and waved his hand, and asked the team to increase running. Then let Alonso go forward.

Alonso's small skills are definitely not as good as Deco. But it does not mean that Alonso's ball control skills are poor. If the ball control skills are poor, he can't become a midfield commander.

I ask you to mark man, Alonso goes up and see what you can do to defend.

Alonso's sudden advance really caught Monaco off guard.

Deschamps' man-to-man defense is a big risk. But Deschamps analyzed Blackburn's front attacking players and felt that there was no problem. With two wingers, Alonso and Hargreaves can definitely be contained.

Unfortunately, Deschamps forgot.

Blackburn's 4-3-3, Micoud, Kaka, and Pires in front are all world-class players. They can contain your three defensive midfielders.

But Monaco, their midfield lacks creative players like Micoud and Pires, and lacks players with impact like Kaka. It is a delusion to completely contain Alonso and Hargreaves by relying on the two wingers of Giuly and Rothen.

This is the difference.

You Deschamps may have a good idea and strong coaching ability. But if you don't have the corresponding cards in your hand, you will have nothing to do.

Blackburn now has world-class shooters like Klose, dribbling king Hleb, Russian Tsar Arshavin, and Bull Essien on the bench. These people are all variables, and George has all kinds of players.

Compared to George, Deschamps has at most a center forward, Pulso, who can make changes.

This is the difference.

Maybe Deschamps feels it is unfair. But there is no absolute fairness in this world.

After Alonso suddenly stepped forward, Deschamps failed to change his style of play in time. But just a little hesitation is enough for a team like Blackburn to take advantage of.

Just six minutes after Monaco scored, Alonso did not pass the ball after getting the ball. Instead, he dribbled straight into the middle. Pires, Miku, and Kaka in the frontcourt all gave up the middle very tacitly. Although it was man-to-man, under this situation, Monaco's midfield could not let Alonso really continue to move forward.

So Bernardi stepped forward to intercept Alonso.

Alonso is the commander of the midfield. He is really watching all directions. Bernardi just started, and Alonso also passed the ball.

"Alonso... pass the ball, Miku got the ball!"

Bernardi was originally following Miku. In rainy conditions, Miku's skills were very restrained. Plus Bernardi followed closely and harassed constantly. This annoyed Miku. But Miku had seen the world after all, so he kept waiting, waiting for the opportunity to appear.

Alonso's pass was very hidden.

When Miku got the ball, there was no one defending around him.

This is the disadvantage of man-to-man defense.

After Miku got the ball, he made a 45-degree diagonal pass.

"Miku... pass. This ball passed the opponent's back line, Drogba!"

Yes, Miku's diagonal pass is very special. His height just passed the opponent's defender, and the landing point was just behind the opponent's defender, but there was a distance from the goalkeeper. Miku was able to control this gap between millimeters perfectly.

Miku's pass and Drogba's running were so in sync.

"Drogba, he got the ball... Squillacci was next to him, and he kept pulling Drogba. Drogba, shoot!"

"GOOOOOOOOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Martin Taylor shouted loudly. "Drogba, Drogba! Just now Squillaci almost hung on Drogba, but Drogba seemed to have no feeling at all. He turned around while carrying Squillaci, and then shot. It was amazing."

"Drogba, Drogba really deserves the title of Warcraft."

Martin Taylor was amazed. In fact, everyone watching the game was amazed. When Drogba got the ball, Squillaci almost tried to throw him. But even this action did not stop Drogba, and Drogba still turned and shot.

Squillaci was not in bad shape. But he was like a child in front of Drogba.

After seeing the goal, Drogba looked at Squillaci who had fallen to the ground with disdain. Then he ran to the corner flag and waved to his teammates.

"Miku, Miku! Because of the change in the team's playing style, Miku's ball control and passing in the game are much less than before. But as long as he is given a little chance, Miku is still the original Miku."

"The diagonal pass just now, if the force is a little stronger, it will pass to the goalkeeper, and if the force is a little weaker, it will not pass the defender. And Miku's pass is so accurate and so comfortable."

And with Drogba's goal, the fans of Ewood Park immediately became more energetic.

In fact, Blackburn fans are also a little confused. They played well, so why did they perform so poorly in the Champions League? Now Drogba has given them absolute confidence with his goal.

"Drogba!"

"Didier Drogba!"

The cheers from the whole stadium made Drogba grin. After that, Drogba kept waving his hands to encourage the team.

After scoring a goal, Blackburn's morale was boosted.

Blackburn's attack was too fierce. As a result, even Giuly and Rothen had to come back to defend.

However, Blackburn, with their morale up, no longer cared about their retreat defense.

At the 36th minute of the game, Alonso stepped forward and passed the ball to Miku.

This time Monaco attached great importance to Miku. Not only Bernardi, but also Rothen, Evra, and even central defender Gael Give blocked the passing route in front. It can be said that Miku was surrounded, and there was only space behind.

In other words, it seems that Miku has only one choice. That is to pass the ball back again.

Of course, everyone thinks so.

But they forgot that the player in front of them was Miku, one of the best attacking midfielders in the world.

Miku made a move to break through. Although Miku didn't break through much in the game, it didn't mean that he couldn't dribble. And Miku's reputation was so great that even though he was double-teamed by four people, they didn't dare to be careless at all.

They all looked at Miku nervously.

Because talented players can often make unimaginable moves.

Of course they were too nervous. There is no superstar in today's football world who can deal with a team alone. And as the defense system becomes more and more perfect, even the most talented players can't pass all the opponents.

Miku just made a false impression of breaking through, and Miku is not Maradona. Of course, it is impossible for so many people to break through successfully.

But Miku's greatest strength is not breaking through.

After simply making a false impression of breaking through, he gently knocked his right foot to the left. The ball was actually passed from the middle of the four people.

"Miku, is he going to break through? No... pass, wonderful, too wonderful."

Miku's pass broke through the four-man double-team. Just found the gap and passed it to Kaka on the left.

"Kaka... Kaka got the ball."

Because there were too many players around Miku, there was some space in other places. Kaka had already seen his running route before getting the ball. Therefore, as soon as he got the ball, Kaka had already accelerated.

After speeding up, Kaka ran straight to the gap left by Gael Give.

Gael Give moved a little forward to defend Miku. Kaka ran towards him.

Although it was raining, it had some impact on Kaka's speed. But the impact was not big. Kaka took a big step and no one could defend him. Drogba had already pulled Squirachi away for Kaka, and there was a completely flat area in front of Kaka.

Gael Give had no chance to return to his position.

"Kaka, Kaka is very fast... Kaka has already rushed in, shooting, not... passing!"

After Kaka entered the small penalty area, he swung his leg as if shooting, but when he touched the ball, he pushed it lightly. Pushed to the middle.

"Pires, Pires, shoot!"

"Two to one, two to one. Blackburn has overtaken the score, Pires scored the second goal for Blackburn."

Pires' goal ignited the enthusiasm of Blackburn fans. Two to one, Blackburn has overtaken the score.

George clapped his hands on the sidelines.

Monaco may be a qualified dark horse, but it is still not strong enough at present. Facing a real strong team, Monaco still has big problems. Want to upset Blackburn, hehe.

Hum!

Those media who want to laugh at me, wait for the next life.

The end of the two updates. Klose is mighty!
