While George was in full swing to buy players in the transfer market, there were people on the French side who blamed George.

"Coach Levy is a complete liar. He deceived Nicholas with lies. He said that Nicholas did a good job, and then he would invite Nicholas to join. Nicholas scored 10 goals in half a season for Blackburn Rovers and made a huge contribution to Blackburn's league title and Champions League title. ”

But as soon as he turned around, Blackburn simply forgot about Nicholas. Coach Levy is a liar, a total liar. ”

Anelka's agent, his brother, confronted the media and spoke out against George.

He waited, waited for Blackburn to bid. But they didn't expect that when they couldn't wait to contact George, George didn't even bother to respond to them. Then they brought in Defoe right after, and it was only then that they understood that George was completely fooling them last season.

Anelka's agent's brother was furious.

That's why he scolded George in front of the media.

Hakan in Galatasaray, Turkey. Suke scolded George for being a liar. Now it's Anelka's turn to call George a liar. It can be said that now George has three words written on his forehead, which is "big liar".

However, George is a lot of lice and is not afraid of itching.

You scold yours, I'll do mine.

George's time was running out. Don't look at the World Cup just played, this season's Premier League is still very early. On August 17, the first round of the Premier League will begin.

Blackburn has been training for less than twenty days.

If it was before, of course, there was no problem. But now the problem is that important main players have left the team.

Deco's departure, in particular, worries George.

He finally cultivated Deco into a world-class defender, but let Scolari snatch it. Now Alonso is here, but it will take a while for Alonso to adapt to the team.

............ "Is this Blackburn?" ”

After the four rounds of the Premier League, the British media wrote such a headline.

In the first four rounds, Blackburn faced Sunderland in the first round, Birmingham City away in the second round, Liverpool at home in the third round and Middlesbrough away in the fourth round. Blackburn, who have always started to work at the beginning of the season, started the 02-03 season in a sluggish state.

In the four rounds of the league, Blackburn Rovers only achieved one win, two draws and one loss, accumulating five points.

A hard-fought 1-0 win at home to Sunderland, a 0-0 draw away at Birmingham, a 1-1 draw at home to Liverpool and a 2-0 defeat at Middlesbrough.

Not to mention that compared to last season, even compared to last season and the previous season, the results are much worse. It's only better than George's first season at Blackburn. This kind of result doesn't look like what Blake should have.

Nor does it conform to George's consistent assertions.

But George can't help it. After all, it wasn't George's willingness.

It's all about the short preparation time. George wasn't quite ready before the Premier League began.

Of the new players introduced this season, only Alonso and Lucio have become the main players. None of the other players were able to make it to the main team.

It's not that George discriminates on the spot, it's that the new players are too young and have problems fitting into the team. Parker has Hargreaves and Essien in front of him, Defoe has Klose and Drogba in front of him, while Ribery is now training with the first team and playing in the youth team.

Among them, Esssien, who George has high hopes for, is physical, fast, and ruthless defensively, and is indeed a good defender. But he was too impulsive, and he didn't work well with Alonso. On the contrary, Hargreaves has performed quite well in these four games.

Surprisingly, Essien was taken back by George as a stand-in for Makellele.

But Hargreaves came from behind and instead topped Essien and became Blackburn's main force.

The problem for Blackburn now is that Klose has played too many World Cup games. When I came back, I was a little tired. George was reluctant to let Klose take the risk because he was now prone to injury. So let Klose take a proper break and let Drogba play.

Drogba is now using his body very well. The only problem is that Drogba's shooting quality is just too poor. In other words, Drogba's biggest problem at the moment is that the goal scoring efficiency is too low.

In addition to the forward line, there is also a big problem at the back.

Blackburn's centre-back partner is actually very strong. It's a pretty good combination of defenders in world football. Campbell has a strong header, a strong frontal defense and a good ability to fill in at the back.

Lucio, on the other hand, is extremely physical. Coupled with his fast turning speed and fast recovery speed, he can form a very effective complement to Campbell.

But this is only theoretical, on paper. In fact, there are many problems with it. In the past, Blackburn Rovers were all Campbell scrambles, allowing Rio Ferdinand to drag the defense. But now it's Lucio who comes up and Campbell fills in.

It's a different style of play entirely. Campbell also needs to adapt. And Lucio likes to come forward too much, and once he comes forward, he can't come back in time. In the game against Middlesbrough, Viduka scored twice, both because of Lucio's lack of talent.

This is a headache for George.

Lucio's sudden insertion at centre-back was actually a threat. Especially in a stalemate, his sudden insertion can confuse the opposition defence. Against Liverpool, it was his sudden insertion that upset the Liverpool defence and allowed Pire to score the equaliser.

But Lucio is a defender after all. It's his job to defend well.

George has talked to Lucio many times during training. Let him do his defensive work first.

Of course, these are not big problems. The biggest problem now is from the middle lane.

It's just that Alonso is too small.

Previously it was possible to be at the heart of the midfield at Real Sociedad, the midfield commander. But at Blackburn, you have to adapt.

Don't say anything else. Let's talk about his fame. Alonso is not even as famous, with central partner Hargreaves, who has just become a regular for Blackburn this season.

Real Sociedad, what kind of team is this. But it's a team that is relegated in La Liga. Hargreaves was an important substitute for Blackburn Rovers and made a number of important contributions to Blackburn's rise to become Premier League champions and Champions League winners.

Not even Hargreaves.

Not to mention a few people in the front court. Klose was the top scorer in the World Cup, Miku was the best player in the Champions League last season, Pire was the best left midfielder in Europe last season, Duff was the best right midfielder in the Champions League, which one is not a big name.

In front of them, Alonso is a small character.

Even if George can use his authority to establish Alonso as a midfield commander, it will not be a matter of time before he can truly become a midfield commander. At the very least, Alonso needs time for the players to recognise him and the team to get used to him.

Therefore, Alonso is not only young and lacking in strength, but more importantly, he can't control the scene.

In addition to this, there is also the problem that Blackburn has played in the first four years of playing in control of the midfield. Very strong in midfield with the ball.

But Alonso doesn't control the ball as well as Deco. At least for now. Therefore, the pace of the game cannot be slowed down, and the game is more played in a fast pace. This is a little uncomfortable for Miku and Pire, who have become accustomed to relatively slow-paced games in the Premier League.

Even the Blackburn backline was a little uncomfortable.

When he thinks of Alonso, George can't help but think of Deco. What a good player, so cheap Real Madrid.

However, Deco's situation should not be much better than Alonso's. Real Madrid's frontcourt has Zidane, Figo, Raul, Ronaldo, all of whom are world-class superstars. What is Deco in front of them? Even if Deco has won the Premier League, the Champions League, and the World Cup, he is still not as good as those in front of him.

There will definitely be problems like Alonso's now. How to calm the scene.

George had a headache.

At this time, the media also came to join in the fun.

They had long been dissatisfied with the arrogant George. It's just that George led Blackburn to good results in the previous seasons, so he couldn't find a good opportunity. Now seeing Blackburn get off to such a rough start, they finally found an opportunity.

"Coach Levy, as a Champions League winning team, do you think it's possible to find a midfielder from a lower La Liga team as the core?"

The media is questioning George's replacement of Deco with Alonso.

George replied angrily.

"Before Anderson came to Blackburn, he was a Portuguese second-tier player. In four years, the difference is that I won the Premier League, the Champions League, and the World Cup. ”

Hearing that George was still stubborn, the reporter next to him hurriedly came up and asked.

"Coach Levy, don't you think Harvey. Is Alonso still young? Is it the lower goal of the Blackburn team, or is it the lower level of the Blackburn team? Or Coach Levy, you want to pull out the seedlings? ”

Seeing that these reporters were finding fault with each other, George was very angry.

"Pele won his first World Cup at the age of 17, and Maradona was the top scorer in the Argentine league at the age of 17. Some people are geniuses and cannot be measured by age. Xavi is also a genius, and although he is only twenty years old, he is the best midfield conductor in the world. ”

"Like the great Mr. Journalist, if you play football, you won't achieve anything in your life. It doesn't matter if you're twenty or thirty. But some geniuses are different, and Harvey is. Even at the age of 20, he can still be the heart of a championship team. ”

"Pulling out seedlings to help grow? I'm only going to pull out the talents, and the talented players need to be the ones that need to be pulled. Because they are geniuses, some mediocre people will never understand that there are geniuses in the world. ”

George, who was in a bad mood himself, didn't save him a little face in the face of reporters.

Although his mouth is hard, George has a headache now. It's no wonder that Liverpool's results have dropped since selling Alonso, and they have gone from the last four of the Premier League to the team competing for qualification for the UEFA Cup. The commander of a team cannot be changed at will.

George let out a long sigh. But fortunately, Arsenal and Manchester United have only two wins and two draws in the four league rounds, and there are not many points without Labrechburn.

George shook his head.

When Alonso will be able to grow to the level of Deco.
