Coaching legend
Chapter 523 He who controls the midfield controls the world
Blackburn played fiercely, but unfortunately the threat was much less.
Mainly because Manchester United's defense was very stable. The central defender combination of Ferdinand and Vidic was watertight. Although Drogba was very strong, Ferdinand and Vidic were not vegetarians either.
But George didn't care.
George believed that he could definitely break through Manchester United's goal by playing back and forth between the wing and the middle.
Especially Ribery and Yang Feng, they were not pure wingers. They could play both in the middle and on the wing. Once the full-backs assisted, they would give up the wing and go to the middle.
Manchester United could not pass the ball forward unless it was a long pass.
Less than ten minutes after the game started, Blackburn had already firmly suppressed Manchester United.
Fletcher was very busy.
According to the corresponding position, Fletcher should have defended Kaka. But Kaka never stayed in his position. Kaka was very good at running, which was all trained when he played with Miku before. Moreover, he often switched positions with Ribery and Yang Feng on the two wings.
Anderson should have helped Fletcher.
Unfortunately, Anderson was just taking a walk. He was not helpful to Fletcher at all.
So Fletcher had to defend this and that.
Blackburn played on the wing, and he had to support the wing. Fletcher felt very tired after playing for more than 20 minutes.
Fletcher is a physical maniac.
Under normal circumstances, physical strength is not a problem even if it is overtime, let alone playing 90 minutes. But now he is attacked by three people in turn. Although there is no problem with physical strength, he feels tired.
George looked at the situation on the field with a smile on his face.
Anderson, the speed of decline is too fast.
Last season, he was one of the contributors to Manchester United's Champions League title, but this season he has fallen to this level. Anderson is known as the "second Ronaldinho". Ronaldinho's height has not been reached, but Ronaldinho's speed of decline has been learned.
As for Giggs, he contributed a lot in the offense. But in defense, Giggs is completely invisible. His defense relies more on fouls.
George saw that the time was almost right, so he stepped forward and made a gesture.
Blackburn's attack became more fierce. Especially the attack on the wing was more determined, and there were more crosses from the wing.
Although Ferdinand and Vidic are strong, Drogba is not a pushover. He can't head the ball once or twice, but three, four, five, six times, as long as Ferdinand and Vidic are a little careless, Drogba will get the chance.
Therefore, Manchester United's defense line needs to be highly tense.
The important thing is that after Blackburn strengthened the attack, Baines and Maicon also frequently attacked.
Blackburn definitely has a set of full-back attacks.
Especially Baines and Maicon, their crosses are very good.
Fletcher and Anderson, and of course Park Ji-sung, all ran to the wing to support. Even Rooney can only retreat to defend. Anyway, Rooney has plenty of energy and can run the whole game without any problem.
Of course, Manchester United occasionally counterattacks.
Manchester United's counterattacks are fast. Just like Blackburn.
Especially Ronaldo and Rooney, once they counterattack, the speed is absolutely amazing.
It's a pity that their offensive power in the frontcourt is limited. In the past, when Giggs and Scholes were at their peak, they were very important points in the counterattack. It's just that Manchester United's midfield is not strong enough now.
In the 31st minute of the game, Ferdinand headed the cross again.
Blackburn controlled the second point well.
Immediately began to reorganize the attack.
The ball was passed to the wing again. Ribery got the ball.
"Ribery... He got the ball, he... This is a cut inside, Ribery cut inside."
Ribery has always been breaking through the outside line and then making a cross. Although there are cuts inside, they are not so decisive. This time, he cuts inside with the ball, bringing Fletcher who assists in the wing defense. Because Fletcher was close to Ribery, Ribery couldn't find a chance to shoot.
"... pass the ball, Ribery passed the ball to Kaka."
Ribery continued to walk to the middle, and after Kaka got the ball, he went to the left where Ribery originally came from.
Fletcher was alone, and he didn't have three heads and six arms. It was impossible for him to split himself to defend two people. So he could only continue to follow Ribery. And let Kaka be given to others.
With this crossover, Kaka actually had a chance to shoot. Although it was a little far, at that moment, there was a chance to shoot. However, this opportunity was fleeting, and Vidic rushed up and blocked the angle of Kaka's shot.
"Kaka, he hesitated... There is no chance to shoot this ball, it was blocked by Vidic... Kaka, pass the ball."
In fact, Kaka didn't hesitate at all.
Kaka had been waiting, and after getting the ball, he deliberately paused to attract Anderson and Vidic next to him to come forward.
When they were about to block the angle, he gently knocked and passed the ball to the back.
"Alonso, it's Alonso!"
It turned out that Alonso had been rushing to the front.
Park Ji-sung, who had been entangled with Alonso during the game, went to help defend the wing because the wing was tight. Fletcher was restrained by Ribery, so there was only Giggs next to Alonso at this time.
When Alonso got the ball, he directly dribbled it with his left foot and led the ball to his right foot, and at the same time he also dribbled past Giggs.
"Alonso, dunk... Alonso! Shoot!"
The entire Manchester United midfield and defense were messed up by Blackburn. Therefore, it was the right time for Alonso to take the ball and shoot.
"GOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!!!!" Mortensen shouted loudly. "Alonso, it's Alonso! Beautiful long shot, this shot is 30 meters away from the goal. The speed and arc are perfect."
"Blackburn leads Manchester United 1-0 with Alonso's goal. This is a valuable away goal."
"Many people think that Blackburn's internal strife will make Blackburn lose in this game. Almost no one thinks that Blackburn can enter the Champions League final, but after the game started, Blackburn took the initiative on the field."
"One to zero, Blackburn leads away."
Recently, all kinds of negative news about Blackburn are clamoring. Everyone thinks that Blackburn will soon disintegrate. They should not have any fighting power at all, but they didn't expect that after the game started, Blackburn was full of energy.
Manchester United was out of breath.
George let out a long sigh of relief.
George was under a lot of pressure during this period. Not only did he have to lead the team to play games, but he also had to appease the players. Of course, the important thing was that the internal strife in the club had seriously interfered with his work.
Now the goal was scored.
George could breathe a sigh of relief.
Ferguson on the sidelines kept waving his hands, not knowing what to say. But he was definitely very angry.
Ferguson spread his hands.
The transfers of Anderson and Nani did not achieve the desired results. If it was the previous Manchester United, they would just invest a little more money to buy a few players. But now Manchester United is also short of funds, and buying Anderson and Nani has already cost a lot of money.
In a short period of time, it is difficult for the club to give itself funds.
Without money, nothing can be done in the current football world.
The game will start again, and Manchester United will fight back. After all, Manchester United was the Champions League champion last season.
And there are really many old players among this group of Manchester United players. They know George very well.
George is a well-known utilitarian coach in European football. As long as it is for victory, no matter what means, he doesn't care. Together with Mourinho, he is considered one of the two most utilitarian young coaches in European football. In addition, Blackburn is a defensive counterattack team. Now that they are leading by one goal, they will certainly defend and counterattack.
This is the idea of all Manchester United players.
It is also the idea of many people who pay attention to this game.
Of course, it is also Ferguson's idea.
Unfortunately, they all reasoned according to common sense. And George wants to attack unexpectedly. If you think so, George will do the opposite.
George found the loophole in Manchester United's midfield, how could he give up.
After Manchester United kicked off, Manchester United wanted to attack. Unfortunately, they were quickly beaten back by Blackburn. Because Blackburn did not play defensive counterattacks at all, but continued to suppress Manchester United with offense.
George is very targeted at Manchester United's midfield.
For Fletcher, he mobilized. Don't entangle with him head-on. Because Fletcher's defense is indeed very strong. So use more speed and passing, anyway, don't confront him head-on. Even Kaka, Ribery, and Yang Feng rarely break through from Fletcher's side.
When facing Anderson, the walking emperor, and Giggs, the veteran, they press. As long as they get the ball, they will quickly surround and press.
And as long as Fletcher is mobilized, Manchester United's back will be directly exposed to Blackburn's firepower. But Blackburn will never shoot casually, but pass the ball very cumbersomely.
Use the middle and the side to finally form a shot.
But some good opportunities are not missed.
Alonso's shot just now was a sudden opportunity.
"Beep--"
The referee came over and gave Fletcher a yellow card. Because Fletcher tackled Kaka in the middle.
After Fletcher got up, he cursed.
He was very angry.
But he was not angry at the Blackburn players. He was angry at his teammates, especially Anderson. Fletcher was very dissatisfied with Anderson. Fletcher relied on his own efforts to get to where he is now step by step.
But when Anderson first came to Manchester United, he was already known as a genius.
But look at Anderson. He was walking all the game. Fletcher was exhausted by himself.
So much so that in the end, Vidic came up to help Fletcher.
It was only because of Anderson's inaction and Giggs's weak defensive ability that Manchester United's defense became more and more problematic.
George smiled on the sidelines.
He who controls the midfield controls the world, this is definitely not a casual statement.
At the end of the first half, Blackburn got another chance on the wing.
Yang Feng first took the ball to the middle, attracted Vidic who was helping Fletcher, and suddenly passed the ball to Maicon on the right. Maicon inserted at high speed and made a direct cross.
Drogba bypassed Ferdinand and made a diving header.
