165. Lord Frue's underworld
Blackburn's original owners were the Walker family, a local Lancashire businessman who was involved in the steel industry, and after taking over Blackburn, it was still quite trenched at first, and in the 90s they spent a lot of money to bring in Alain. Shearer, then Alain. Shearer's transfer fee was also a record in the Premier League, and then they turned to Reds legend Dalglish as their manager, and eventually lifted the Premier League trophy in the mid-90s.
But with the Walker family at the helm Jack. More than a decade later, the Walker family finally lost patience and sold the team to India's Venky Group, which is in the poultry business.
The group didn't know what the idea was, and it was a bit picky to buy the team, and it was not very willing to invest, but in public it declared that "we have an idea, and we will rebuild the glory of the club." ”
Sam Allardyce also didn't get much support, and this summer, Blackburn didn't spend much money, and the squad changes were not too big, except for Manchester United's loan of Manchester United for striker Diouf and the signing of Benjani from Manchester City, whose contract has expired.
According to the original trajectory of the world, Sam Allardyce later became the head coach of England, but unfortunately he was fished by reporters and became the shortest-lived head coach in the history of England, and for a time became the first scandal in world football.
But he is a capable person, and his ability is not small, not to mention leading Bolton, even the current Blackburn is playing well under his leadership.
Blackburn Rovers are not strong, a proper relegation team, but he led Blackburn to a 10th place in the Premier League last season.
Wen Sheng sounded the alarm bell for the team and the team before the game, "Don't think that the victory over Chelsea will be in the clouds and get carried away. ”
The players were not in the clouds, but the team lost the game 0-1.
When facing strong teams, Crystal Palace often likes to show weakness, put the bus on the bus, and play counterattacks.
Today, Allardyce is really not covered, and he is also stable in Selhurst, Wen Sheng feels that Allardyce doesn't care much about the ball, Crystal Palace is too pressing, Blackburn will immediately kick big, when Crystal Palace's pressure is not serious, they will immediately take the opportunity to reverse the ball in the backfield and waste a little time.
For this kind of "Crystal Palace as a green onion" team Wen Sheng is really a little helpless, in the first half he tried to press high, the opponent's Diouf immediately seized an opportunity to help the team take the lead in the away game, the second half is still adjusted by Wen Sheng, Crystal Palace still can't grasp the opportunity, for a while he even adjusted the formation to 424, but there is still no way to take Blackburn.
Blackburn have conceded goals in almost every game this season, but you think they're poor defensively, no, they're actually defensively better than Crystal Palace, and they're both down by one goal against both big teams. There were two draws, both with the score 1-1, and the winning one did not concede a goal.
A well-prepared Sam Allardyce and a tenacious Blackburn Rovers defensively have become a nightmare for Crystal Palace this weekend.
"We weren't sharp enough on offense!" Wen Sheng told reporters after the game, "They give us very little space defensively, and we still need to improve in our running position!" ”
Palace had 21 shots on goal and just four on target.
Blackburn Rovers did not prevent Palace from shooting from the outside of the box from 30 yards, but limited Crystal Palace's shot from inside the box, and Vardy was once again lost in the sea of opposition defences.
In the first six rounds, a Europa League, Vardy did not score a goal, and in some games he performed well, but it was bad luck, and in some games he performed badly, unable to run out of space, and was guarded by the opponent without temper.
This game belongs to his poor state and was prevented to death.
After the game, he will naturally be the focus of attention, the focus of discussion.
"He's not in good shape, he should be smarter in his position." After the loss, Wen Sheng inevitably felt a trace of resentment about Vardy's state, even Mertens had a goal in the account, and Vardy didn't even have a hair, what about the super striker who said good?!
Why don't you shine yet?
Against Blackburn, Wen Sheng recorded the three points in his "should get points" book, but now he has no points, and it has nothing to do with Vardy.
"But I'm sure he'll score goals soon!" Perhaps sensing his resentment, Wen Sheng quickly added that this time he didn't say that we should look at Vardy's tactical role in the team.
The reporters said to Wen Sheng: "I believe he will score goals soon!" "I'm almost immune to this, man, how many times have you said it?! Has your prophecy been fulfilled? No!
"Text, the next Europa League game. Will Jamie Vardy start? The reporters asked.
"Now is not the right time to discuss the next game!" Wen Sheng's head was still somewhat sober.
Wen Sheng is not convinced, he is not convinced because he feels that his tactics have not been run in well, and the players have not fully adapted to this league, such as Vardy and Mertens need to adapt.
The team's attacking push runs were good, but their off-the-ball runs in positional battles were poor, and Jamie Vardy didn't do as well as he did in the 2-0 defeat to Newcastle.
The players were also in a bad mood, with captain Derry admitting after the game that the team did not do a good job in positional battles.
Derry feels it was a big mistake to not be able to add a central striker in the summer, and it looks like Vardy and Allen are currently looking to be a big mistake. It is difficult for Li Du to shoulder heavy responsibilities, and his ability to attack tough problems is not good.
He really can't understand Wensheng's stubborn use of Vardy, who is not in a good state and has a limited level.
He didn't know that Vardy was very prosperous later, how could Wen Sheng use him like this if he wasn't superstitious that Vardy was a super striker? It's closer than his own brother, and even the center forward is reluctant to buy it, for fear of squeezing Vardy's living space.
According to the usual practice, Wen Sheng invited Allardyce to have a drink after the game, Wen Sheng pretended to praise Big Sam Niu Fork, but Big Sam smirked: "I also got inspiration from you!" ”
That's nonsense! Wen Sheng despised Big Sam fiercely in his heart, do you really think that you won the game because of your psychological warfare?!
In theory, Wen Sheng felt that he may have made some mistakes in this game, for example, he was very eager to get three points at home, because he believed that Blake was a potential opponent on the road to relegation for Crystal Palace, and was made angry by the opponent's tepid style of play, and there may have been some mistakes in decision-making, falling into Allardyce's calculations, but Wen Sheng will not think that this is the "credit" of the pre-game psychological warfare, at most it is a miscalculation caused by the game environment and game goals.
"Then I don't dare to be! Sam, I'm a first-year student, and you're an old fritter! Wen Sheng immediately replied, now it is the first time that the two of them have drunk together, but neither side has the intention of being polite, but it seems to be familiar.
The two of them didn't talk much about the game next, but chatted a little bit about the ups and downs, mainly the stories in the coaching circle.
At the end, Allardyce and Wen Sheng said goodbye very happily, "Next time I ask you, we will go to Lord Fu to be a guest together, he has hidden a lot of good wine!" ”
"That's great! I'll be waiting for you to call! Wen Sheng immediately said that he had no contact with Ferguson, but such a big person, just like visiting a sage, it is always good to see it.
Big Sam and Ferguson are good friends, the relationship between the two is quite iron, and later Allardyce was selected as the head coach of the England national team, and the grapevine said that Ferguson supported him, which made Big Sam ascend to the throne of the head coach of the national team, but Big Sam was too unreliable, and he was fished by reporters when he went up, and he was disgraced.
The year before last, last season, Chelsea was gone, Arsenal fought for fourth, Manchester City's oil dad had not yet come, at that time the protagonists of the Premier League were Manchester United and Liverpool, a pair of old enemies, it was Benitez who coached Liverpool at that time, Ferguson was very good at verbal warfare and psychological warfare, Benitez unfortunately fell into the trap, accusing Ferguson of having too much power in the Premier League, and it was too easy to escape punishment from the FA.
Martinez, the head coach of his fellow Wigan last season, said: "Among the Premier League coaches, Ferguson has a small group loyal to him, Bruce, his former player, Sam Allardyce, who recognises himself as Ferguson's successor. ”
"And at the other end, Benitez is alone, and Ferguson and the others will fire at him from all sides."
