Chapter 276 European Champion

After the game restarted, Real Madrid stabilized a lot.There is no such a violent attack at the beginning of the game.

George smiled.When the game opened, Real Madrid looked down on Blackburn for sure.But after being fed a ball, they only paid a little attention to Blackburn.

Real Madrid did not start to tear Blackburn's defense directly from the center, but began to frequently use the sideways.Especially Figo's right.

Before the joy of scoring a goal passed, Riise began a very uncomfortable process.Riise may be the best left-back in Ligue [-], but facing Figo, it is like a child facing an adult.

Figo is not only excellent in technology and super strong, but more importantly, rich in experience.Facing Riise, a rookie who has only played the main force in Ligue [-] for a season, he is completely at ease.

"Figo...extraordinary, beautiful! Riise was completely swept away."

Figo just shook his upper body at Riise, Riise was completely at a loss.Fortunately, Riise has good physical fitness, especially his explosive power.So even though he was easily passed by Figo, he was still able to go back and get close to Figo immediately.

But in such an instant, Figo has enough time to do many things.

"Figo, the cross...Raul, he passed Ferdinand...Blanco cleared before Raul."

The moment Figo crossed, Raul bypassed Ferdinand very astutely.Although Ferdinand is very strong, it is a pity that he lacks experience.Although Raul is only 23 years old, he has already experienced many battles.Even scored in the Champions League final.

The sense of smell in the restricted area is also what Raul is best at.

Fortunately, there is Blanco, a veteran, among Blackburn's central defenders.At the moment Raul bypassed Ferdinand, he stepped forward to squeeze Raul, and then made a clearance before Raul got the ball.

"... Guti... with the heel, Figo has the ball... cut inside, Riise is knocked down. Figo, shot! Unfortunately, just a little wide of the post."

After Real Madrid's offense stabilized, Figo's side suddenly became active.In desperation, even Pires could only come back to defend Figo.

However, Real Madrid's two wings have their own characteristics, and neither is easy to match.

"...Guti, pass the ball...McManaman...Carlos who comes in behind, crosses!"

Carlos began to accelerate at full speed the moment McManaman got the ball.The instant speed surprised Sagnol who was defending behind.Although he knew that Carlos was very fast, Sagnol only knew what speed was when facing him.

Carlos took the ball forward, and then flew around Sagnol directly.

But Blackburn's defense was George's effort.Seeing that Sagnol was broken through, Ferdinand immediately came to make up for it.And Sagnol quickly defended to the open space left by Ferdinand.

Seeing Ferdinand's replacement, Carlos did not hesitate at all.He kicked the pass directly.

Carlos's cross was flat and fast, and it was passed directly into the Blackburn penalty area.

"... Morientes, swinging his head and attacking the goal... The ball is too straight. Cudicini let go, Blanco quickly made a clearance!"

"Blanco really doesn't look like a 35-year-old. This game is too good. Has made several clearances in the penalty area. George did a good deal."

George watched the ball fly around in his penalty area, his heart was beating.George has always thought that the strength of his team is not inferior to Real Madrid.But the current Blackburn players have not seen the big world yet.

In other words, I haven't experienced big scenes, and I don't have much experience playing against European giants.

Therefore, when the Blackburn players themselves faced these giants, they were a little bit drummed.That's why the current passivity is caused.

Looking at Blanco George nodded.It was a wise decision to buy Blanco himself.Although Blanco is old and has some shortcomings.But the calmness in such an important game alone is not something that ordinary players can possess.

Ferdinand's current strength definitely surpasses that of Blanco.But he was too young, so he was in a hurry.

George stepped forward and made a pressure gesture to the players.George needs to find his rhythm again, Blackburn is a team that controls the ball in midfield.Now the midfielder has lost all power, which makes George very dissatisfied.

Thirty minutes passed without knowing it.Since Blackburn scored a goal, Blackburn has been beaten by Real Madrid.Pires and Duff in the frontcourt all returned to their own half to defend.Even Micoud had to come back to assist the defense.

When the game progressed to 36 minutes, Guti, who had been playing well in the first half, got the ball again.

Guti did not pass the ball immediately, but controlled the ball laterally.Deco has been following Guti, but at this moment Guti suddenly flicked his right ankle, and a half-high ball flew past Deco.

"Guti... pass the ball and it goes over Makelele's head! Raul! Raul has the ball."

Guti's pass is very sudden, and the angle and strength are very moderate.And at the moment when Guti passed the ball, Raul appeared in Guti's passing route with a clue.

"...Raul...a shot! It's a shot, Cudicini can't do anything! Goal, Real Madrid equalize."

"Raul, our prince. He scored the most beautiful goal! This is Raul's most iconic shot! Blackburn's defense is just a display in front of Raul!"

"Raul, what an elegant shot! Only Raul in the world has this kind of talent. Raul, Raul is currently the best striker in the world!"

The Spanish commentator seemed to be crazy, praising Raul suddenly.Almost all the compliments that could be used were given to Raul.

"For this ball, Cudicini has some problems with his positioning." Andy Gray sighed. "Although Cudicini has performed well since he came to Blackburn, sometimes Cudicini still has some unstable problems. But Cudicini is 27 years old and has a chance to correct his problems. But I just don't know, Can Blackburn, who is currently on the rise, afford to wait and give Cudicini time to correct his faults."

Seeing Raul's goal, George shook his head.

Cudicini did have a problem with his positioning.When Raul got the ball, Ferdinand and Blanco in front had already taken their positions.Raúl either dribbled past them with technique and flashed an angled shot.Or it can only be a pass.

The two central defenders have already established their positions, and Cudicini should keep close to the goal line.But Cudicini moved forward.

It was because of this little gap that Raul captured it.Raul made a very beautiful shot, which made Blanco and Ferdinand, who were already in their positions, helpless.And Cudicini was stunned by Raul's shot.

"Raul and Guti are two players, there is a tacit understanding between them."

"I heard that they were best friends in the youth team. If it wasn't like this, they wouldn't be able to play this kind of cooperation."

The Spanish commentator kept explaining how beautiful the goal was.

George didn't show much anger.Because George knew that Blackburn did not play as well as Real Madrid in the first half.It's just that I didn't expect Raul to be in such a good state.

George took advantage of Real Madrid's celebration and called Deco.

"Anderson, don't just focus on Guti alone. Overwhelm them with offense, tell John. The opponent's midfielder has only one defensive point with El Guerra, put pressure on him. Let Guti retreat by himself. You have to pass more, defend Guti Dee's job, let Claude pay more attention to his passing lanes."

"Tell John, just like we train. Follow our established tactics."

"And tell Robert to keep putting pressure on Salgado."

Guti's outstanding performance allowed Blackburn to retreat from the midfield.This greatly weakens Miku's role.As long as Miku suppresses Erguera, Guti will definitely retreat.And George believed in Micoud, Micoud would definitely be able to suppress Elguera.

Guti nodded.Go up and talk to Miku.

After scoring a goal, Real Madrid is ready to make persistent efforts to completely end the battle before the end of the first half.Unfortunately, they soon found out.The Blackburn midfielder, who had just retreated, began to compete with Real Madrid for the midfielder.

In fact, Blackburn has five midfielders, especially Makelele, Deco and Micoud in the middle.

When Deco and Miku used possession to keep the ball on Blackburn's side, Real Madrid discovered that Blackburn was not afraid of Real Madrid at all in terms of possession.In other words, Blackburn's possession is better than Real Madrid's.

Facing Elguera's defense, Micoud was not afraid at all.Dare to do all kinds of actions.

Miku, who had been inactive until now, suddenly became active.And Pires on the right also actively cooperated with Micoud.

Real Madrid can see it here.Blackburn is staring at Salgado, just to beat Salgado.Now Salgado has a yellow card on him, so Salgado didn't dare to make some fierce moves.

One of Salgado's greatest talents is his ferocious defense, which can scare offensive players.But once his ferocious defense can't be shown, there will be many loopholes in his defense.

That's what offense and defense are.When Real Madrid attacked violently, Riise was out of breath facing Figo.When Pires came up with an offensive, he pushed Salgado back.Naturally, Figo's offensive was also suppressed.

However, Blackburn's style of play was quickly touched by Real Madrid.Because Blackburn has always been handed to Pires on the right after Micoud gets the ball.And Pires will focus on Salgado's side.The style of play is too monotonous.

Duff on the right side faced Carlos and didn't show anything at all.After getting the ball, he will pass it to the middle, and he will never think about how to break through Carlos.

Everyone felt that Blackburn was completely bullying.Carlos' side was not easy to break through, so he concentrated his firepower on Salgado's side.

"...Carlos' cross... was pushed out by Ferdinand. Deco, passed to Micoud...Micoud...open, big open!"
