"Head, John is not in a good mood." After making Sagnol the captain, the kid was very happy and very excited.

Sagnol looks like a prick, but he has a very smart head. I know I don't have enough prestige in the dressing room. To be the captain of a team, it is best to have these situations.

For example, the captain of some teams is the oldest person in the team, such as Kevin. Gallaher's second captain is because he is currently a veteran of Blackburn's team. Although George was quickly relegated to the bench position, it was precisely because he was the oldest that he became the second captain.

In other words, many players are either their own players or come to the club at a very young age. In this way they have the qualifications of captain.

Another situation is that the dressing room has enough prestige and is a meritorious player of the club. And that was the case with Hendry, who was part of Blackburn's Premier League champions. He was Blackburn's main central defender that year, and he had a great influence at Blackburn. This is true among the fans, at the club, and even among the veteran players. So no one can object to him being the captain.

The last case is that the person is the biggest player on the team. Just like Alain. Shearer, when he arrived at Newcastle, there were plenty of players who were older than him. But he became Newcastle's captain.

Of course, there is also the case that this player is very popular with the manager.

And now Sagnol is not involved in any aspect. Speaking of qualifications, Hendry, Kevin. Gallaher, Henning. Berg: They are the club's most decorated veterans. Even if they are all substitutes, Duff in the main team is young, but he is an out-and-out academy player.

And when it comes to prestige, Sagnol is there at that age, and he is not a strongman, so he can't say that he has any prestige at all. Of course, the biggest hand is not Sagnol's turn.

The love of the head coach is not related to Sagnol. George's favorite thing is obviously Klose, and that's something everyone knows. Moreover, Miku and Pire are also more loved by George than Sagnol.

So Sagnol is very self-aware.

I know that I am much inferior compared to other captains. So he never pointed fingers in the dressing room, but was like a lubricant. All the players love Sagnol and support his work.

Sagnol knows when to say what to say and to whom.

"Yes. I know. ”

In fact, George found out at the beginning of today's training. Miku was in a trance, and there were some inexplicable mistakes during training.

George shook his head, and he understood it at once. Miku is too thoughtful, not the kind of extroverted surname. In the last game, Miku was replaced in the first half, which may have made Miku a little unthinkable.

Claude Makelele was also substituted in the first half last season and was even a substitute in the following games. But Makelle doesn't have that problem, although he's not an extrovert either. But he is tenacious and able to figure it out for himself.

But it seems that Miku is not of this type.

At the end of the training, George analyzed some of the problems in the training to them, and then disbanded.

At the time of the dismissal, George stopped Miku. "John, come with me."

Miku was stunned for a moment. Ever since Miku came to Blackburn, George has been very much in his interest in Miku. And when the media criticized Miku, he also stood up and supported Miku without hesitation. But it's rare to talk to Miku alone, let alone in the office.

In the past, the most I could do was on the training ground, grab Miku and talk to him about something.

"Is the head dissatisfied with John's performance today?" Pire looked at Miku's back and asked Sagnol next to him in French.

Sagnol shook his head. "I think it's supposed to explain the substitution the day before yesterday, right?" Changing players in the first half is not a common thing. Miku in particular is still the core of Blackburn, and George should give him an explanation as a coach.

"John, sit." George smiled and pointed to the chair in front of him.

"Did I replace you in the last game, I feel a little resentful."

Hearing George's words, Miku blushed and shook his head repeatedly. "No, head. Not really. I just feel like I'm not able to help the team. ”

Miku has never complained about George, and Miku is very grateful to George in his heart. It was George's encouragement and support during a very difficult season last season that allowed Miku to get through.

"Don't do that, sit down." Miku is no longer young, and his career is many years old. But when it comes to interpersonal communication, there are many problems.

"John, I hope you don't get me wrong." George asked Miku to sit down. "In my eyes, you are as good and as good as Zinedine Zidane. But you were born at the wrong time, Zidane became famous earlier than you. And the two headers in the French World Cup final allowed Zidane to completely establish his position in the national team. ”

"John, no matter how you perform in the future, you can't compete with Zidane in the national team. Unless Zidane is injured, as soon as he recovers, he will immediately get a place in the main team of the national team. A World Cup final can be said to have completely blocked the way for all France's current forwards to the national team. ”

With that, George looked at Miku. Sure enough, Miku's face became more and more pale, which Miku himself knew. The two headers in the final directly established France's position as the World Cup champion.

And it was in the home World Cup that he won the first World Cup title for France.

This championship allowed Zidane to leave his most glorious footprints in the history of French football. With this title, Zidane began to be on a par with the legendary French superstar Michel Platini. Who can replace Zidane like this?

The current Zidane is like a mid-sky, which French coach dares to abolish Zidane and let others take the position.

After Jacquet, which coach of the French national team has this kind of courage? Absolutely nothing.

Miku knows that his international career will always be shadowed by Zidane. It's just that I've never been willing to think like this before, and when I think about it, I always avoid it. But today it was said directly by George.

Miku realized that his previous evasion was useless, but just self-deception.

"John, it's not your fault. It can only be said that you are unlucky. But are you willing to accept such an outcome? ”

Miku sat there, gritting his teeth. "No, head."

"Yes, why should we accept our fate. You are no worse than Zinedine Zidane, but you have to know that you can never prove yourself in the national team. But you still have a chance to compete with Zinedine Zidane. That's the club result, we Blackburn Rovers will play in Europe and we will have a chance to meet Zinedine Zidane's team. ”

"When the time comes, tell everyone that you are not Zidane's replacement. You are the best French midfielder of Zinedine Zidane's generation. Since you can't prove yourself in the national team, you can prove your strength in the results of the club. You failed to beat Zinedine Zidane in the national team, not because of strength, but because of luck. ”

"John, are you willing to be a loser? Would you rather be called Zidane's understudy? ”

George's tone had been very calm, but when he finally asked Miku, his tone was aggravated.

Miku looked up and shook his head with a serious expression.

"No, head. I'm not Zidane's understudy, I'm as good as he is. Miku replied to George in no uncertain terms.

Looking at Miku with a determined face, George smiled. Miku's strength is indeed not weaker than Zidane, but there is one thing Miku is much behind Zidane. It's self-confidence.

Later, after the development of the Internet, there were many black players. There are also many people who question Zidane, who feel that Zidane is not as powerful as the media boasts. There's a lot of data, but none of them can deny it. That is, the more important the game, the better Zidane's performance will be.

Don't say the World Cup final in '98, look at the Champions Cup final in '02. and in the 06 World Cup, France eliminated Brazil and Spain all the way, and the elderly Zidane's performance was completely god-level.

This is the manifestation of Zidane's strong self-confidence. It is also Zidane's domineering, Miku wants to achieve good results, he must have Zidane's domineering. It's just that Miku is too introverted and a little shy in his surname. So George had to keep praising him and telling him that he was strong. Let Miku's self-confidence continue to grow.

"John, you have to know that in modern football, defense is going to be more and more important."

Miku nodded.

"I know you technical players, you don't want to defend. Listen to me first. George saw that Miku was about to speak, and waved his hand. I don't expect you to defend like a midfielder, but at the very least, you have to help Anderson and Crowder when you switch between attack and defence. ”

"I'm a big fan of attacking and defending, and when you attack, we need to be three-dimensional. The two wingers and full-backs are also involved in the attack. And you and Anderson have to plug in the back. In the same way, when defending, you have to start with the front striker and block layer by layer. ”

"If you're just involved in the offense and you're outside the defense, then you're ruining the team's overall tactics."

Now in the middle of Blackburn, Makelele's defense is not at its peak. Deco is also developing, so Blackburn's midfield seems to be the strongest but also the weakest. Robson saw this accurately.

It's impossible for George to make Claude the best midfielder in the world in an instant, or to make Deco the Deco who later came to Barcelona all at once. So I need more help from Miku.

"John, would you like to contribute more to the team?"

Miku heard George's words and quickly stood up. He nodded very seriously. "Head, don't worry. I know what you mean. ”

"Yes, John. Together, we have created a brilliant success. Show everybody that you're as good as Zinedine Zinedine Zidane, if not better than him. ”
