Chapter 335 Severe Situation (5-4)

Seeing Stam's goal, George could only wave his hands helplessly.

After the start of the game, Blackburn lost ground in midfield.In the face of Manchester United's tit-for-tat three midfielders Butt, Keane and Scholes, George lacks flexibility.In other words, the lack of flexibility in the Blackburn midfielder led to the loss of the ball.

George blamed himself.

When Ferguson showed up and Blackburn lost ground in the opening game, it should be adjusted in time.It was precisely because George failed to adjust in time that the goal was lost.

George still carefully observed the game on the field.How should they break their three-man midfielder.

Keane really is the best and most dominant midfielder in the world.Coupled with the help of Bart next to him, it became difficult for Micoud and Deco to control the ball in the midfield.Losing control of the ball, Blackburn's attack lost half its power.

After conceding a goal, Blackburn should have counterattacked immediately.

But now it is Blackburn who continue to be at a disadvantage.

This made George on the sidelines frown tightly.If the current situation is not changed, Blackburn may continue to lose the ball at any time.

But George still didn't find a way to break through the midfield defense of Button and Keane.Even their offense, Blackburn felt very difficult to deal with.

George has played many matches with Manchester United.But this is the first time that it feels so difficult for Manchester United to play.

George took a closer look at Keane.

Keane is indeed powerful.But it's not invincible either.Otherwise, how could Manchester United lose the game.But today's Keane is completely invincible in George's eyes.Excellent defense and offense.

Seeing Keane, George thought of Vieira.

Since Wenger took over, English football has been a battle between Arsenal and Manchester United.It was the era of Wenger and Ferguson's fighting style, and the battle between Keane and Vieira is the most talked about in English football.The battle between these two world-class midfielders.

So how did the match between Arsenal and Manchester United play?

Too.Neither Manchester United nor Arsenal will set up the midfielder position, and of course they don't have a midfielder like Micoud.

They have world-class midfielders like Keane and Vieira.

So how did their offense play?

In addition to the collision between Keane and Vieira in the middle, Arsenal played Manchester United more on the side.Use the side attack method.

Yes, George patted his forehead.

I really entered into a misunderstanding.Because Blackburn has always played a midfield control style, so when blocked by Manchester United, George only wanted to change in the middle.Thinking about how to break the defense of Bart and Keane, and regain control of the midfield.

But he didn't think about how to make use of his own advantages.

What a fucking idiot.What's the use of focusing all eyes on the middle lane.Where in this world is there a team that only attacks in the middle of the midfield, without attacking from the side, it is impossible to play any advantage in a strong midfield.

Not to mention Micoud, if there is no support from the side, even if you let Maradona play, it will not have any effect.

How could I be so stupid, I forgot to attack from the side.Just thinking about breaking the middle lane, isn't this a muddy head?

In the past, once George couldn't play in the middle, he would immediately adopt a long pass and rush through the midfield quickly.Of course, we will also adopt the method of side attack, why did you forget it today?
Mom, it's because Manchester United put too much pressure on George.In other words, Ferguson put too much pressure on George, which made George unable to diverge his thinking and fell into a huge misunderstanding all the time.

Apart from the control of the midfield, the most powerful thing about Blackburn is the attack from the wing.But George stared at the middle, forgetting his own advantage.I always want to find a way in the midfield, but forget that the center and the wing echo each other from a distance.

The current loss of power in the middle makes it impossible for Blackburn to play on the wing.

But I forgot.Once Blackburn's wings are played, then the center will naturally be able to play.Such a simple thing, George has never thought of.On the contrary, the middle road has been head-to-head with Manchester United and lost the best chance.Even Manchester United scored a goal.

George immediately began to arrange, so that Micoud's Deco should not continue to entangle with the Manchester United midfielder in the middle.Make full use of the two sides, as long as the two sides are opened, the pressure on the center will naturally be relieved a lot.

Pires and Duff played very depressed in this game.

Because of the loss in the middle of the midfield, Giggs and Beckham were particularly active.Even the two full-backs Gary Neville and Sylvester took turns to attack.This makes Pires and Duff can only retreat frequently to assist the defense.

Hearing George's words now, the two of them were even more depressed.

You got shot in the middle.Without the support of the center, how to play on the side.

Fortunately, George then took other actions.George asked Micoud to step back a little bit, and don't hesitate as long as he gets the ball in midfield.Immediately pass to the wing, allowing Pires and Duff to open the wing.

Neither Neville nor Sylvester are the best full-backs.

Neville is really not the top right back in the world.But Neville has one of the biggest characteristics, which is his stability.Neville has been able to maintain his state for more than ten years as always, which is definitely rare in world football.And in the position of right back, Neville will never make low-level mistakes.

In other words, there will be absolutely no inexplicable mistakes.

But he is indeed not the top defender at the right back position.

Of course, another full-back Sylvester is even more so.He is very reckless, and he often loses his position at left back.

George has confidence in Pires and Duff.They must be able to help Blackburn open the wing.

George was right.When the ball keeps getting to Pires and Duff, the first point is that Neville and Sylvester cannot press.And it is difficult to defend Pires and Duff just by the two of them, so Bart often needs to go to the wing to help defend.

In this way, the hardness of the middle lane immediately becomes lower.The pressure on both Miku and Deco was greatly reduced.

In this way, Blackburn got rid of the passivity at the beginning of the game.

The two teams began to be evenly matched in the game, both offensive and defensive.

George finally got the better of himself.Although George always thought that he was not weaker than Ferguson or Wenger, George felt that he should not be weaker than those famous European coaches.George had always thought so.

But in today's game, George realized that he still has fear and burden in his heart.

Facing the pressure from Manchester United and Ferguson, George was always afraid.Or in other words, I have always been afraid of them in my heart.It's just that George himself has never admitted it, so George thought he was not afraid.

But this game let George know.George has always cared about it. In this kind of heavyweight competition, George has always cared about Ferguson's thoughts.At the beginning of the game, George was thinking about the meaning of Ferguson's three midfielders, and he always thought about this thing.Therefore, I have been lingering in the pressure I created for myself, and I have not been able to get out.

But when George walked out by himself, George was very happy.Because I defeated myself again.

No wonder it is said that being a coach requires experience and the accumulation of experience.It turned out to be because of this.

Every time he played against Ferguson, especially in this important game, George was able to learn something.Every time this kind of experience is of great benefit to George's future.

George was finally relieved.

It's just that he failed to equalize the score, and George's heart is still hanging.

The game passed minute by minute, but Blackburn still failed to equalize the score.Until the end of the first half, the score was still Manchester United leading Blackburn [-]-[-].

George didn't blame the players at halftime.George has no position to blame them.Because of falling behind in the first half, it was all because George lost to Ferguson in the first half.Therefore, George continued to encourage them in the midfield, and then arranged the tactics for the second half.

Although he was behind, George didn't take any risks.

In the League Cup final against Liverpool, George could attack aggressively while Houllier retracted.Hollier's fantasy was completely destroyed.But with Manchester United, George will not be like that.

Who is Ferguson?Playing like that in front of him can only make you die faster.

Unless at the end, when it's a desperate fight, George will put all his eggs in one basket.There are still 45 minutes left, and George can't be in a hurry.

After the start of the second half, Manchester United's style of play became a little more stable.Keane in midfield is no longer as fierce as in the first half.But Keane's retreat gave George not good news, but more pressure.

If Keane strikes out, there will be space for Blackburn to exploit.When counterattacking, it can make the Blackburn midfielder pass more smoothly.

But now recycling, it is getting harder and harder for Blackburn to attack.Of course, George can't throw himself into the offense regardless of everything.After all, there are still wingers like Giggs in the frontcourt, and players with accurate long passes like Beckham, the counterattack is still sharp.A little relaxation from Blackburn will allow Manchester United to fight back.

The game was a minute and a second passed, but Blackburn has never been able to equalize the score.

Blackburn fans did not lose confidence in the game just because they were behind.Always cheering for the team.

The Manchester United fans laughed at Blackburn.They shouted "You are nothing but upstarts! If you want to be a champion, wait for the next life!".Although this game is considered a victory, the initiative to win the championship still lies with Blackburn.

But Manchester United fans believe that once they lose this game, Blackburn will definitely collapse.

The second half of the game also passed quickly, but George has not adjusted.Because George is waiting, waiting for an opportunity that can change the situation on the court in one fell swoop.

It's just that I haven't been able to find such an opportunity.Ferguson is very seasoned and never gave this kind of opportunity.

Time flies, and the situation is getting more and more serious.
