Chapter 378 The final is in sight
"Two to zero, two to zero. Blackburn has already entered the Champions League final with one foot. Even if Manchester United can equalize the score in the second half? Blackburn still has two goals away goals, and it seems It will be very difficult for Manchester United to equalize."

"I really didn't expect it."

During the intermission, Martin Taylor was completely unbelievable about the score on the court.

This is not like Manchester United, the Premier League hegemon who once ruled the English football.

"Yeah, it's only four years. I think of Blackburn who was almost collapsed when Arsenal scored eight goals. And George who was almost dismissed. Only four years, Blackburn There have been such changes.”

Andy Gray also shook his head.

Blackburn's rise was too fast.Soon, many English football players were dazzled.In just four years, Blackburn has jumped from a relegation team to a champion who can compete with Manchester United and Arsenal.

Not only have they won two Premier League titles from Manchester United and Arsenal, needless to say, but now in such an important game as the Champions League semi-finals, they lead Manchester United [-]-[-] away.

this is too scary.

The rise of Blackburn is like a myth.

"Four years. Hehe, George was a new head coach in English football four years ago, and now he has become a world famous coach. Four years, whether it is short or long."

The two stood up and were about to take a rest.

After turning off Little Mike, Martin Taylor smiled and said to Andy Gray: "Do you think Ferguson is really old?"

This is the question Martin Taylor has always wanted to ask.

It is really because of Manchester United's poor performance this season.In the Premier League, they are [-] points behind Blackburn.And in such a heavyweight competition as the Champions League semi-finals, it turned out to be so vulnerable.

Martin Taylor is really unwilling to admit that Ferguson is old.But this question has been bothering him.

As a veteran host, Martin Taylor has complicated feelings for Ferguson.To say that I like Ferguson is really not enough.Because Martin Taylor is not a Manchester United fan, let alone a Ferguson fan.However, both of them are leading figures in English football, and they have a long friendship.

Of course, as a senior commentator in British football, Ferguson is an era for them.In the past ten years of the Premier League, the Premier League has been turbulent, but the most indispensable in it is Ferguson.Ferguson's influence can be reflected in all aspects of English football.

However, in recent years, the competitiveness of Ferguson's Manchester United has dropped a lot.Especially in the five seasons after Wenger took charge of Arsenal, Manchester United only won one Premier League title.Instead, Arsenal won two and Blackburn two titles.

And in the last two seasons, Manchester United has achieved nothing for two consecutive years.

This had to make Martin Taylor have this idea.Is Ferguson really old and should retire.

But as a senior commentator, of course, such words cannot be said in the game.That's why I talked to my old partner Andy Gray in private.

"Old? Not necessarily." Andy Gray shook his head. "Ferguson is not an ordinary person. Maybe he has won too many championships, and maybe he has no motivation now."

The two old partners left the studio while talking.

Of course George didn't know what the two men were saying in private.But if George heard it, he would definitely refute them.

Ferguson old?Although George said this sentence, it was just something he said during a verbal battle.If someone says in front of George that Ferguson is old, the Premier League will soon be dominated by your young people.George must go up and kick him twice, and spit twice.

Grandma a bear!What the others thought, George didn't know.But George knew that Ferguson, an old man, became more and more demonic with age.In the future, he will play in European football for more than ten years.And as long as Ferguson is in Manchester United's position, no strong team in Europe dare to ignore Manchester United.

Ferguson will also be old?
George wanted Ferguson to get out of English football as soon as possible.But this is not realistic.

But at this time George has already praised his players in the locker room.Because the first half was so beautiful.Two to zero, it was ten thousand times better than George imagined.

George didn't change his style of play. He played so well in the first half, George had to stay the same.Unless the situation on the court changes, George will never easily change his tactics in the first half.

During the half-time break, when the Manchester United players came out, George found out.The Manchester United players were all blushing. It is estimated that Ferguson's hair dryer was aimed at them fiercely in the dressing room.

After the start of the second half, Manchester United's style of play did not change much.

Their biggest change is that the rhythm is much faster.

The running between the front courts is much faster, and the passes are also the kind of straight passes.This is in line with Manchester United's style of play. Manchester United used to be that kind of open and close style of play.However, Manchester United's offense is not as sharp as it used to be.

And Blackburn's play here is still very simple.

Offensive is more concise.Basically, they are big feet in the backcourt, looking for Drogba.Drogba's self-confidence has also improved, and he is completely rampant in the frontcourt.It is very uncomfortable to have Woodgate and Brown alone.

If it is to defend Drogba head-on, it is estimated that any one of the two can make Drogba come back with a feather.

But now that the ball has reached Drogba, it is a high-altitude bombing.This kind of high-altitude ball is actually very good at Woodgate and Brown.

Brown and Woodgate are the most typical English central defenders.He has strong front tackle ability and excellent control of high-altitude balls.But who made them so unlucky to meet Drogba.Even if they met Klose, they wouldn't be so unlucky.

Klose's header is more based on his amazing jumping ability and ability to judge high-altitude balls.Although relying on his outstanding awareness, Klose's header is completely the top of the Premier League.But Brown and Woodgate can still rely on their positions and bodies to withstand Klose and prevent Klose from taking the ball comfortably.

But Drogba's high-altitude ball is entirely based on his monster-like body and bounce.Even if he sometimes has a problem with his position, he will use his body to squeeze out the defender.This is a completely unsolvable style of play.

Unless it's a central defender's body, which is as perverted as Drogba.

It's a pity that neither Brown nor Woodgate can be regarded as this kind of central defender.Therefore, whenever there is a high-altitude ball, it will be controlled by Drogba.

Drogba is very obedient.After getting the ball, he will never act recklessly.Instead, it was immediately handed over to Miku or Kaka who responded.Micoud's performance was very calm, because there were only three points in the frontcourt.Drogba, Micoud and Kaka.

Among them, Drogba needless to say, the technique under his feet is a mess.Kaka is not the kind of player who can control the ball slowly, he is a dagger, and he will see blood when he comes out.Therefore, Miku is very much needed in the frontcourt attack.

Micoud's ball control is indeed very good, even if it is as strong as Manchester United, it is not easy to break the ball under Micoud's feet.

Same goes for Keane.

Keane's most important goal is to guard against Micoud and prevent him from breaking through easily.But it was difficult for even Keane to break the ball under Micoud's feet.Therefore, as long as Miku has the ball, he can always attract several players.And Micoud can always find a passing spot among them.

Micoud is getting stronger and stronger, and his ball control, passing, and vision are all fully mature.

When I first arrived in the Premier League, when I met those defenders in the Premier League, I kept conceding goals.Because they don't give you a chance to be calm, as long as you slow down a little, they will immediately stretch out their feet to grab the ball.

But now Miku has completely adapted to the Premier League defender.

In this way, Manchester United's offense is full of thunder and rain.The counterattack on Blackburn's side is full of blood.Although there are few people, it makes Manchester United's defense not dare to be careless.

In the second half, George sat in the middle of the seat, crossing his legs, very comfortable.

The more I look at Drogba George, the more I like it.

No wonder the future Drogba can carry Chelsea's offensive banner alone.To defend and counterattack, put Drogba alone outside.Drogba's rampant ability in the frontcourt is really too strong.

Now Drogba is just an immature player.It can mess up Manchester United's defense.Not to mention what will happen to Drogba once he matures.George drools at the thought.

At that time, I will have Klose on the left and Drogba on the right.I envy those giant clubs in world football.

The game passed minute by minute.

Manchester United is in a hurry.The Manchester United players are really in a hurry.

Zero to two, this is a score they absolutely cannot accept.

But they are so anxious, they don't care about defense at all.They're going to attack, attack, attack.

Their offensive was fierce, but George was happier.Because Manchester United is really red-eyed now, and both full-back players came up to assist.They are playing desperately, but the gap in the rear is getting bigger and bigger.

The counterattack space left for Blackburn is getting bigger and bigger.

Sure enough, in the 79th minute of the game, Blackburn got another chance to counterattack.

It was Kaka in the middle again, and this time Kaka had no scruples.Because Manchester United's defense is completely empty, to what extent it is empty, it has reached a three-on-two situation.Kaka on the left, Drogba on the right to stretch the defense, and Miku on the center.

Under this situation, how could Blackburn let go.

Kaka has been breaking through from the left, and Brown has been defending Kaka.This time Kaka also did not act recklessly, but tapped back lightly. Miku, who followed in the middle, did not miss this opportunity.

Keeping up with the shot, it broke Barthez's goal again.

Three to zero, this goal completely established the world.

Even if Manchester United lost [-]-[-] away, it would be difficult to come back at home.Not to mention that it is now a [-]-[-] home defeat.

"Micoud, it's Micoud! [-]-[-], [-]-[-] away. Manchester United has almost no hope of a comeback, and the Blackburn final is in sight."
