Chapter 479 Champion! Champion!

If someone tells you that the Champions League final only took 20 minutes to decide the winner. I believe no one will believe it, especially after the Champions League reform.

But the reality is like this.

It took Blackburn only 22 minutes to lead Monaco 2-0.

Before the game, even those media who shouted that this was the most unequal match would not have thought of it. No one thought of it.

Even George himself who is now off the court did not think of it.

The tough guy Deschamps saw that his Monaco was so vulnerable, and squatted on the sidelines in an indecent manner.

Deschamps was really discouraged.

Deschamps was a tough guy when he played football. After coaching, his style did not change. With his toughness, he was able to lead a French Ligue 1 team into the final. Otherwise, with Monaco's strength, it would be impossible to eliminate Real Madrid and Arsenal.

But Deschamps did the impossible. He relied on his unyielding spirit.

Before the final, although Deschamps knew that Blackburn was very strong, he was not afraid. Deschamps is a person who gets stronger with every setback. Whether he is a player or a coach.

Deschamps has the courage to play with Blackburn.

The Champions League final is here, and it is normal to look forward to the Champions League championship. But after only 20 minutes of the game, even the tough guy Deschamps can only be discouraged.

20 minutes later, they were already two goals behind.

And more importantly, Deschamps' Monaco faced Blackburn, who is best at defensive counterattacks.

Such a game is not easy to play.

But Deschamps stood up soon. Deschamps knew that at this time, anyone could collapse, but he couldn't. Because he is the head coach of Monaco, he must not do this. Deschamps regained his tough guy character.

Deschamps stood up and started shouting on the sidelines.

The stadium was too noisy, and George was very close to Deschamps. But even so, George couldn't understand what Deschamps said. But George saw Deschamps's resolute face clearly.

"Monaco, don't give up. It's only been 20 minutes. You still have 70 minutes, and there's plenty of time."

The French commentator kept cheering Monaco.

Those Monaco fans also sang to cheer the team up.

After falling behind by one goal, the Monaco players were at a loss. Or they were completely confused.

Now that they are two goals behind, the Monaco players are not nervous. And they are not confused anymore, and they are starting to play in an orderly manner.

In fact, this is easy to understand.

When they were one goal behind, they were worried about gains and losses. They wanted to attack and tie the score. But some people wanted to defend. They were all waiting for Deschamps' arrangement, but unfortunately Deschamps did not give them a clear arrangement, but gave an ambiguous attitude.

He did not object to the players wanting to attack. But he also expressed his attention to Blackburn's counterattack.

This actually handed the problem to the players.

But after falling behind by two goals, the players had no worries. Because they had no way out, there was only one way, which was to attack.

What a team fears most is that the players have different ideas.

And when is a team most powerful. That is when they are united and they are desperate.

Monaco has nothing to lose now, so they can only go all out.

So they are in high spirits.

But George on the sidelines is not nervous at all. Yes, in theory, a team that is desperate is very scary. And the fighting power they burst out must be very strong. If it is an ordinary shrimp soldier, facing such a team, it must be thrown away.

Unfortunately, Monaco is facing Blackburn.

Yes, their offense has indeed become methodical. But at the same time, now they are desperate, everyone's mind is on the offense, which gives Blackburn more counterattack opportunities.

Monaco is limited after all.

Although their attack is fierce, Blackburn can still draw some troops to counterattack.

Of course, in order to defend against the crazy Monaco, George even called back Miku and Pires. And Drogba and Klose are both involved in defense. But there is one person cruising in front, that is Kaka.

In the first 20 minutes, Blackburn had already established an advantage.

Now it's time to slowly grind with Monaco.

In front of Blackburn's defense, Monaco's play is limited. The most they can do is go to two wingers and then cross the ball. Because among Monaco's forwards, in addition to Morientes, who is very familiar to many people, there is also a center forward Pulso.

Pulso, 1.90 meters tall. In addition, he has good footwork, so he is a beacon in the frontcourt.

Pulso and Morientes are both very good at headers.

Therefore, after Monaco's ball was passed to the wing, it began to pass inside. Look for Pulso and Morientes.

If Campbell and Lucio were not now tall enough and played in the Premier League, they would have been accustomed to high-altitude balls. Otherwise, facing Monaco's cross from the wing, it would be really difficult. So now Blackburn's main defense is on the wing.

Blackburn's defense is to prevent Monaco from passing high-quality crosses from the wing.

The first attack was strong, the second was weak, and the third was exhausted.

The same was true for Monaco's attack. Although they were desperate, after about ten minutes of attack, the attack was gradually fading.

But Blackburn's formation was still retreating. It gave Monaco enough time and space to control the ball.

So Monaco was still attacking on the field.

But after another ten minutes, Monaco's attack had completely lost its momentum.

George watched Monaco attack and admired the wisdom of his ancestors.

Cao Gui used the principle of "one attack, two attacks, three attacks" to repel the powerful Qi army and win the "Qilu Changshao Battle". Now George has to borrow the method of his ancestors.

From the 20th minute to the 40th minute of the game, Monaco's attack went through this process.

Just when Monaco was attacking step by step, Blackburn suddenly launched a fierce counterattack.

This was George's arrangement.

In the 40th minute, George saw the decline of Monaco's attack. This is the so-called three-attack state. Monaco's previous momentum of burning the boats was gradually worn away within 20 minutes.

So George suddenly let the team go out in a big way.

The attack was sudden.

This time George chose a sudden attack. In the 40th minute, Blackburn's sudden attack caught Monaco off guard.

In the 43rd minute, Blackburn completely secured the victory of the game.

Klose was hooked by Gael Give and got a free kick.

Pires stepped forward and made a perfect free kick. The ball went straight into the dead corner, and Monaco goalkeeper Roma had no way to deal with it.

"Three to zero, it was already three to zero before the end of the first half. Pires has completely secured the victory of the game, and Blackburn must have won the Champions League."

"The Champions League finals in recent seasons have never been easier than this season's Champions League final. Blackburn won the game effortlessly. Congratulations to George, congratulations to Blackburn."

Not only Martin Taylor said so.

Many commentators from various countries who broadcast this Champions League final think so.

"Congratulations to Blackburn! In the first half alone, Blackburn was already leading Monaco 3-0. Now no one would believe that Monaco could reverse Blackburn."

"This Champions League final is completely one-sided. Monaco has not had a chance to really threaten Blackburn's goal. The gap in strength between the two sides is too big."

In addition to these people, even the French commentator was already discouraged.

"Giuli's injury has a huge impact. If Giuli is still there, the game should never be like this."

Although discouraged, they always have to whitewash their team.

The morale of the Monaco players plummeted. They stared blankly at the ball in the goal. Roma didn't even get the ball back, but sat down in front of the goal.

The Monaco fans were silent at this time.

They didn't believe that Monaco would lose so badly. In their minds, Monaco is a team that creates miracles. It is a miracle for them to have eliminated Real Madrid and Arsenal along the way.

It's just that they didn't expect that in the most important final, they would be three goals behind.

They were stunned, and they didn't want to believe it.

Unfortunately, their astonishment and discouragement were nothing to Blackburn fans.

"Champions! We are champions!"

The entire Blackburn fans shouted in unison "We are champions!"

Yes, for Blackburn fans now, the Champions League title is already in their arms. At this time, no one would believe that Monaco still has any power to fight back.

Champion, really champion!

0-3, Monaco is completely desperate. Even the strong Deschamps is no exception.

In the second half, Monaco was listless. The Champions League final was so dramatic.

In the first half, Blackburn easily scored three goals against the opponent. In the second half, the game was dull. Because Monaco completely lost confidence, while Blackburn slowly grinded the ball, just waiting for the end of the game.

In terms of viewing, this season's final is definitely very poor. It is even as boring as the 0-0 game between Milan and Juventus last season. The first half was a one-sided game, and the second half was a dull game.

I guess no one likes this final except Blackburn fans.

Blackburn fans are already singing and dancing at the Schalke Stadium. The game is dull, but they can mobilize the atmosphere themselves.

"We are the champions! We are the champions!"

George has been standing on the sidelines since the start of the second half. George is waiting, waiting for his second Champions League title.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Blackburn fans are waiting.

George is waiting.

Blackburn players are waiting too.

Even Monaco players are waiting.

UEFA officials are waiting even more.

They are all waiting for the referee's whistle.

"Beep, beep, beep--"
