Coaching legend

The goal in the first eight minutes not only boosted Blackburn's morale.

It also severely damaged the confidence of Monaco players.

This is not Deschamps' fault, nor the fault of the Monaco players.

Monaco is the biggest dark horse this season. It was actually able to eliminate giants such as Real Madrid and Arsenal along the way and enter the Champions League final. But a dark horse is just a dark horse after all.

There are many conditions for becoming a dark horse.

The first is that their main lineup is definitely not weak.

After all, those who do not have the strength to become dark horses are a minority, and they are simply rare in world football. Most teams that can become dark horses have a very strong main lineup. But the reason why they are just dark horses is because they only have a strong main lineup and no matching substitute lineup.

That's the case with Monaco.

Although their main lineup cannot be compared with the European giants. But at least it has the strength of a top European team.

But when Giuly was injured, Monaco simply couldn't find a player who could replace Giuly.

This is the dark horse.

There are many dark horses in history.

But there are very few who can maintain their outstanding results for several seasons. The problem is that their substitute lineup is too weak. Once there are any problems with the main lineup, they will not be able to maintain their strength.

Therefore, when the main lineup is complete, they are capable of defeating Real Madrid and Arsenal, but after core players like Giuly were injured, their strength dropped a lot.

Another dark horse characteristic is their unwillingness to admit defeat.

Every dark horse who can become a dark horse has this. Relying on this unwillingness to admit defeat in their hearts, they were able to complete a dark horse legend.

But their unwillingness to admit defeat is not the result of their years of competition results.

But just one breath.

This tone allows them to not be afraid when facing any opponent.

But again, they only have one breath.

This tone may be due to the coach, or it may be spontaneously formed by the players. This is different from the background of a wealthy family.

The heritage of a wealthy family, what is the heritage of a wealthy family. There is only one, besides all those other insubstantial things. That is, they are calm and calm in any situation. Don’t be discouraged when you’re behind, don’t be discouraged when you’re ahead.

This is what is often called the rich heritage.

But Dark Horse is different. Their breath is different from this background. This tone allows them not to be afraid of any opponent. Likewise, as long as they are hit, this tone becomes a liability.

This is the situation in Monaco now.

In the first eight minutes, we were one goal behind. This was a huge blow to them.

Therefore, the Monaco players were panicked.

Suddenly they don't know whether they should be attacking or defending. When the score is behind, it stands to reason that we should attack. But facing the fiercely offensive Blackburn, they had to defend again.

In this way, they formed a situation of disconnection.

The players in front, they want to attack. The players behind them have to defend.

How could George give up such a chaotic opportunity. But George was not blind, but gave the team a gesture.

Seeing George's gesture, Blackburn gave up the aggressive momentum after the start of the game. Instead, they retreated slightly, giving Monaco time to breathe. Chaotic Monaco seemed to see a ray of light in the darkness.

As soon as the pressure on them was relieved, they began to attack and began to attack violently.

At this time, Monaco was completely guided by instinct.

Although Deschamps saw George's approach, he had no other way. Because of its backwardness and the current vulnerability of Monaco, as long as there is the slightest blow, it will completely collapse.

Deschamps could not stop their attack because once he stopped Monaco was completely deflated. Therefore, we can only let the defense pay attention to Blackburn's counterattack, but we cannot tell the Monaco players not to attack. This is a very difficult choice.

If you don’t attack, you will fall behind in the game. Attack, but afraid of Blackburn's counterattack.

George laughed when he saw Monaco's attack. Blackburn took the initiative to retreat, which was completely a conspiracy. Even if Monaco knew it was a trap, they would step on it. As long as Monaco dares to attack, there will be many loopholes behind them.

And with Monaco's current offense, they are completely blind.

Because they were hit too hard. They have been suffocated by Blackburn, and now they finally have the slightest chance. They have only one idea in their minds. Attack, attack, attack again. But they don't know how to attack, how they should attack to score goals.

This chaotic attack soon gave Blackburn another chance.

In the 21st minute of the game, the ball passed by Roten to Pulsau was intercepted by Campbell. After Alonso got the ball, he handed it to Blackburn's counterattack specialist Kaká.

"Kaka, Kaka got the ball... Kaka's standard long-distance run, no one can guard Kaka. Kaka is very fast!"

Kaka is really fast.

Monaco's chaotic offense also led to their chaotic defense. The two central defenders did not dare to press forward, after all, Klose and Drogba were there. But the two full-backs simply couldn't find their positions at this time.

What distance is closest. Of course, he rushed directly to the middle, and Kaka went directly to the middle.

Blackburn's attack was certainly not rigid. When Kaka got the ball, Klose and Drogba moved to the sidelines in a tacit understanding. This was to give Kaka enough space.

Kaka, Klose, and Drogba are all very explosive. They are very fast players in short-distance sprints. When counterattacking, they spread out in a triangular formation. Monaco's defense only had two central defenders left.

In fact, there was a defensive midfielder Zicos following Kaka.

Unfortunately, as soon as Kaka ran, he immediately left Zicos behind. Zicos couldn't keep up with Kaka's pace at all.

"Three against two, this is a three against two situation. Blackburn's counterattack, this is a very good opportunity for Blackburn. How will Kaka deal with it?"

Yes, three against two, a good opportunity that can't be better.

How Kaka will deal with it, everyone is waiting.

Gael Give, who followed Klose, saw Kaka driving straight in, and had no choice but to defend forward. Because if Kaka moves forward, he will face the goalkeeper directly.

What a pity?

Kaka is fast, but he has a habit when playing football, that is, he always raises his head to dribble the ball. Even in this high-speed running, he runs with his head held high. Therefore, he knows everything about the front.

As soon as Gael Givet moved, Kaka also passed the ball.

Kaka did not wait for Gael Givet to come over, and passed it directly. The target was Klose, who was originally defended by Gael Givet.

"Kaka, he passed the ball... Klose got the ball!"

When Klose got the ball, the front was completely empty. But at this time, Gael Givet braked in time and came back to block Klose's shot. Because at this time, Klose almost had a single-handed momentum.

Even Monaco goalkeeper Roma had blocked the near corner and prevented Klose from shooting from the near corner.

"Klose, raise your left foot... oh, this is not a shot, this is a pass!"

Although Klose was already alone. But he raised his left foot to pretend to shoot, but it was just a feint. Instead, his left foot gently pushed inward and pushed to the middle.

"Kaka, this is an empty goal. This is a completely empty goal!"

Because everyone's eyes were on Klose.

Klose can shoot with both feet. So everyone thought Klose would shoot. So as soon as Klose passed the ball, Kaka faced most of the empty goal. This is too easy.

"Kaka!"

"Two to zero, two to zero. Blackburn relied on Kaka's goal to make the score two to zero. It's too easy, it's really too easy."

"Who could have imagined that such a situation would appear in the Champions League final. Blackburn was leading two to zero with almost no effort. Now the game has just passed twenty minutes, twenty minutes, and Blackburn is already two to zero."

Martin Taylor smiled and shook his head.

Even Martin Taylor, who was very confident in George and Blackburn, did not expect that the game would be so easy.

Blackburn easily won 2-0.

This was also Kaka's first time to participate in the Champions League final. Two years ago, Kaka performed very well in the Champions League semi-finals. In the game against Manchester United, he was the biggest contributor to the victory. But in the Champions League final, he could only sit on the bench. In the end, he was not able to play.

Therefore, Kaka was also very excited to see the goal.

He hugged Klose, who assisted him, tightly. Soon more Blackburn players came to celebrate together, and even Lucio and Campbell on the back line ran over to celebrate together. Because everyone understood that 2-0 was a very safe score.

When it was 1-0, everyone's celebration was still reserved.

But when it was 2-0, Blackburn celebrated like crazy.

Of course, Blackburn fans were even more so.

"Blackburn is already leading by two goals, and it can be said that they have already secured the Champions League title. There have been precedents in the Champions League finals where a team was leading by two goals but was eventually reversed, but that was more than 40 years ago."

"In 1962, in the seventh Champions League final, Real Madrid, which was at its peak at the time, led 2-0 in the first half with two goals from Di Stefano. But later, Benfica, led by Eusebio, fought back and finally defeated the powerful Real Madrid with a score of 5-3. It also completed an extremely beautiful reversal in the history of the Champions League."

"Unfortunately, this happened more than 40 years ago. Since that game, there has never been a team leading by two goals in the Champions League finals in the past 40 years. I believe Blackburn will never be reversed."

Martin Taylor introduces some knowledge about the Champions League finals.

Yes, leading by two goals. If there are not many reversals in the Champions League knockout stage, they are not few. But leading by two goals in the Champions League final is already a huge advantage.

George waved his arms off the court.

George was excited.

This was the easiest final George had ever experienced. Not only the Champions League, but also the UEFA Cup, FA Cup, League Cup, European Super Cup, and Toyota Cup combined, none of them were as easy as this one.
