Chapter 163

"I don't know what to say. Your performance in the first half was perfect."

In the second half of the first half, everyone was competing in the midfield.Nobody scored again and Blackburn ended the first half with a [-]-[-] lead.

In the locker room, George did not hesitate to praise the Blackburn players.This is probably the first time George has praised the players so unadorned this season.

Everyone likes to hear praise, so everyone was very happy to hear George's praise.

"In the second half, Manchester United will definitely counterattack. Don't rush to retreat in the second half, you just keep pouring the ball in the midfield. Robert, you also help John and Anderson in the second half and firmly control the ball in the midfield. Use your skills and passing. The ball kept killing United's counter-attacks."

Pires, Micoud, and Deco are all good players in possession of the ball. George will use them to grind Manchester United to death.

…………

In the second half, Manchester United did not make any personnel adjustments, nor did they attack Blackburn just after the kick-off as George thought.Instead, Scholes was allowed to retreat, and the positions of Keane and Scholes in the midfield were even further back than in the first half.

Such a change made George a little confused, and even Blackburn's players on the field were confused by Manchester United's retreat.

But since then, Blackburn's control in the midfield has become more and more satisfactory.

Under such circumstances, Blackburn's players are getting more and more courageous.Deco even ran near the opponent's penalty area.

Looking at this situation, George frowned.Manchester United's strength is not only that, they are so strong that they are a strong team even in Europe.Their midfielder is currently the best midfielder in the Premier League. How could they retreat after being hit by Blackburn a few times.This is not Ferguson's style.

There must be a ghost, George stepped forward to make the Blackburn players steady.Don't be so aggressive.

But George just got up, and the ball passed by Deco was cut off by Berg, and then handed over to Scholes.With just one swipe, Scholes dribbles past Micoud.Then it was handed over to Beckham next to him.Beckham didn't stop the ball, and just made a long pass, which was accurately passed to Giggs on the left.At this time, it became Manchester United's counterattack against Blackburn.

There were not many players in Blackburn's backcourt, and even Van Bronckhorst ran up front.Giggs' speed is very fast, Giggs' strongest point is his speed and ability to control the ball at full speed.

Sagnol didn't pass the half-time in the whole game, and he was always staring at Giggs closely.The moment Giggs took the ball, Sagnol did not step forward.Instead, he retreated slowly, not daring to make a rash move.But Giggs was so fast that he didn't give Sagnol a little chance.

Seeing that Sagnol had already broken through Sagnol, Hendry behind him assisted in the defense.However, Giggs, who has already picked up his speed, has already broken through Hendry in a few disguises.Hendry held Giggs in desperation.

"Beep—" the referee blew his whistle and gave Hendry a yellow card and a free kick.

Seeing the yellow card, George breathed a sigh of relief.Even if the ball is given a red card, George has nothing to say, because Giggs is directly facing the goalkeeper after rushing past.Hypia next to him is defending York next to him.

"Beckham...he went up to the ball, Beckham was just average in this game. Van Bronckhorst was very successful in marking Beckham."

Cudicini was arranging the wall, although Beckham's free kick was not as famous as it was later.But he is already famous in England, and Cudicini didn't dare to be careless in the slightest.

George also stared closely at Beckham. When Beckham's standard free kick came out, George frowned.Because this action is too familiar.

"Beckham...beautiful, beautiful. Beautiful Beckham!"

Seeing Beckham's goal, George couldn't help kicking the mineral water bottle under his feet.George somewhat understood why Manchester United took the initiative to withdraw. First of all, their players had played for the national team three days ago, including the main players and substitute players.And they are the main players of the national team.Therefore, after the national team competition, their physical strength cannot keep up.And after this recovery, you can make full use of Beckham's precise long pass ability, and Giggs' excellent speed advantage.

The counterattack just now, from stealing the ball to counterattack, only had a few kicks.Beckham's excellent long pass and Giggs' amazing breakthrough ability are all vividly displayed.

George patted his forehead, Ferguson, you old fox.His background in defense and counterattack actually called Manchester United to fight back.

This is only twelve minutes into the second half, and there are more than 30 minutes left in the game.

George walked up and down, trying to figure out what to do.Whether to defend or attack, George hesitated.However, there was no response yet, and there was another huge cheer from Old Trafford.

Just after kick-off, Manchester United scored again.Not long after the kick-off, the ball was cut off by Keane.Handed over to Beckham on the right, Beckham made a cross and accurately found the Manchester United striker.This time it was Andy Cole who headed a Beckham cross.

George shook his head, and Beckham was silent for more than 50 minutes.Almost defended by Van Bronckhorst without any temper, but only appeared twice in front of the camera, allowing Manchester United to overtake the score.

Blackburn players are very disappointed, they were leading 5-[-] before [-] minutes.But in such a short period of time, Blackburn fell behind one to two.This contrast disappointed them very much.

Is it true that Blackburn really has no chance of winning, and will this season really be relegated as the media said?

Looking at this group of players with no ambition, George was furious.You can't lose your ambition when you lose a game, so I stepped forward angrily and yelled.

"Do you want to lose another game, a bunch of cowards."

"Told you to have faith in yourself. Be confident, you fools."

In fact, Old Trafford is so noisy, it is impossible for those players to hear what George said.But they felt George's anger on the sidelines.

They even saw George patting his chest there, which was George telling them to have confidence.What George emphasized most before the game was that they must have a strong heart.Seeing George's action, they all understood what George meant.

"Tell them, run. Run, run more." George grabbed Sagnol on the sidelines and asked him to tell the players on the field.With more running, there must be a problem with Manchester United's physical strength for the rest of the time.

Blackburn players are all young, except for Hendry, the oldest player is only 25 years old.

At this time, the effect of Blackburn's two weeks of training came out. Blackburn was not at a disadvantage in the midfield competition. Pires, Duff, and Klose in the frontcourt kept crossing and changing positions.

Even Micoud and Deco in the midfield also increased their running, and Pires also returned to the middle. The three kept running to increase the gap for passing the ball.

The run of the frontcourt players also made Manchester United's defense very uncomfortable.Man-to-man, of course not.Their physical strength is obviously not as good as that of the Blackburn players. Once they run around, they will be exhausted.And once man-to-man, the defensive system can easily become neutral.

But it's not easy to just stand and hold your position.Because they have different characteristics, it is not so easy to defend different types of players.Just as the extraordinary characteristics of Pires and Duff are completely different, defending Pires and Duff is a completely different defense.

"Pirres... went in and shot! It's a pity that Schmeichel caught it."

"Micoud passed the ball, Klose got the ball... Klose fell in the penalty area, the referee signaled that it was not a foul. It was indeed not a foul after watching the replay, Stam tackled the ball first. Klose moved slowly, If it's York, the goal goes in."

"Pirres, pass...Micoud, long shot, what a pity."

"Pirres is a different player in this game. Look at Pires passing Neville again. I believe that Neville has never been under such pressure since his debut. If Pires can play like this every time Strength. Not to mention 550 million pounds, even 1000 million pounds is not expensive."

All of a sudden, the pressure on Manchester United's defense increased greatly, and the ball kept flying around in Manchester United's half.

"If Blackburn had performed so well in the first few games, Blackburn's current results would not be so bad."

"However, the players from Blackburn performed very well in this game. Especially the few players who have just transferred over, they performed well in this game. Needless to say, Pires, Deco's scheduling in the midfield is also very comfortable. Who can I believe that Deco played in Portugal's second division last season."

The game was lively, but George was worried about not scoring a goal.

In the 72nd minute, Pires, who has been performing well in this game, got the ball again.Neville was gasping for breath. Before this game, Neville didn't have Pires in his eyes at all.I haven't studied Pires, but this game was too embarrassing.

Don't blame Neville for this, Pires' performance in the Premier League is a scumbag.I didn't expect this game to suddenly exert strength, and I don't understand many characteristics of Pires.That's why it's so embarrassing.

Neville saw Pires looking at him with the ball, so he aimed for a tackle.

"Pirres...he picked Neville, it's so beautiful." Pires' movements were very chic. "He dribbles past Neville and Stam comes in to cover. Pires cross!"

Klose saw that Berg was just staring at himself, so he didn't shoot over his head after jumping up, but headed the ball out.The top was given to the foot of Miku who had been inserted.

Although Keane did not control the second landing point immediately, he had already stood still and stepped forward to steal the ball.Micoud entangled with Keane throughout the game, knowing that it would be difficult to pass the ball once Keane was eyeing him.

So Miku stepped on the ball, and with the heel of his right foot, he pushed lightly to the left.

It was just a very slight movement, but it already shook all Manchester United's defensive players.

"Miku's heel pass to the left...it's Deco, Deco's back row is inserted...Deco!!!"

Deco, who rushed up from behind, didn't hesitate at all, facing the passing ball, he just shot angrily.

The ball whizzed by, and it was in front of Schmeichel in a blink of an eye.Although Schmeichel tried his best to save, the ball still rolled in from Schmeichel's fingers.
