Taking a one-goal lead, this situation is very certain for George.

Just like Martin. As Taylor said, George will always be George. George's goal is the result first, and in order to win, George can not care about anything. A small defensive counter-attack is nothing, if George is willing to stick all ten men in the middle of the goal.

Derby County really didn't expect Blackburn, who have been in good form lately, to play such a brazen tactic. Therefore, after conceding a goal, you only know blind attack, and there is no real tactic at all.

Even their head coach never imagined such a situation, and when he saw Blackburn's starting line-up, he secretly rejoiced. Felt like they should be able to beat Blackburn Rovers at home.

It's a pity that I didn't think that George would be so disrespectful, although he changed a lot of main players. But who of them could have imagined that Blackburn, the representative of the technical flow team this season, would suddenly play such a defensive counter-attacking tactic.

He had no choice but to increase the strikers and attack. It's a pity that breaking such a dense defense is a problem for all teams in the world. Even if it is placed on the current strong teams such as Manchester United, Real Madrid, Bayern, and Milan, it is a headache for dense defense.

Not to mention Derby County, who were not prepared at all, and there was no other way to face Blackburn except for a long pass.

And Derby County don't have any good headers, while Blackburn's defenders are pretty good at heading. Including Hyypia and Gala's header ability is very good. So Derby's offensive was thunderous and rainy, and there was not much threat.

But George's counter-attack was different, although George didn't practice any counter-attacking tactics at Blackburn. Unlike at Burnley, fighting back is an art. Three feet and four feet can form a shot on goal. However, at Blackburn, because it has always been a pressing style of play, it is more about how to break the goal in the positional battle.

But that doesn't mean that Blackburn won't play counter-attack, and there is Duff as a super winger there.

As long as Derby's defense moves forward, once Duff takes the ball and counterattacks, no one in Derby's back line can do anything about him. On the other side, Romedahl was also very fast. In this game, George completely lost the midfield, and the midfielder's task was to break the ball and hand it over to the wing for a counterattack.

Twenty-three minutes into the second half, it was another standard counter-attack that scored the second goal for Derby. Blackburn Rovers also won the game with a score of 2-0.

On the 28th, George led Blackburn to the riverside pitch to challenge Middlesbrough.

In this game, George replaced most of the main players, but the effect was not as good as in the previous game. Miku and Pire, two players with high hopes from George, didn't know what was going on, and it was as if they hadn't woken up during the game.

The kick is muddy. Including Deco's performance in the midfield is also much worse than before.

After changing to the main lineup, the game was no different from the last game. Even the counterattack is not as good as the last game.

Because Blackburn has always played a pressing style of play, when Deco is doing well, he can control the second point. But Deco's performance in this game was also aberrated and he was unable to protect the second point.

There were too many goals conceded up front in this game, and the second point was not well controlled. At the end of the 71st minute of the second half, Middlesbrough played a counter-attack. On the pitch, George began to substitute other players, but still did not salvage the defeat.

So far, all five games in December have ended, with Blackburn Rovers winning two, drawing one and losing two. Compared to the four consecutive wins in November, December's results have dropped a lot. George cursed the English league in his heart, why there are so many games in England.

But Blackburn's devil's schedule isn't over yet. Four days after the game against Middlesbrough, Blackburn are heading for an FA Cup tie. Then they will soon face Tottenham at home.

The intensity of the game made George's head hurt.

…………

"Evan, they're in terrible shape right now." George looked at the situation on the field and frowned.

It was fast in time for January 9th. In the FA Cup, Blackburn met a semi-amateur team from the national league. George rotated most of the players, but won the game with ease.

But back at home, Blackburn Rovers face Tottenham Hotspur from London.

Tottenham Hotspur have had a poor run and are only 11th in the Premier League so far this season. However, the biggest reason why Tottenham's results are so poor is that Tottenham's attacking strength is too poor. The attacking strength is only stronger than Southampton and Nottingham Forest.

Nottingham Senri are now bottom of the Premier League. Southampton, on the other hand, are not doing well, finishing 18th in the Premier League and still in the relegation zone.

Tottenham, which has poor offensive strength, is in 11th place in the Premier League. It's all because Tottenham are very defensive. Although Tottenham's results in recent years have not been good, the strength of the team is limited. But Graham is definitely a quality coach and can defend very well with the players they have.

Graham's football is dull and uninteresting, and Tottenham fans don't like Graham at all.

If George is not treated by Blackburn, it is because of the feud between George and Blackburn. And George's results at Blackburn Rovers after that were too poor.

Then Tottenham are not welcoming Graham now, not at all because Graham was once Arsenal's meritorious manager, nor because Graham is too poor in results. On the contrary, it is the fans of White Hart Lane who hate Graham's team style of play.

Like other England fans, White Hart Lane fans are even more so. What they love most is to attack, attack, and attack. But Graham's football is very typical of the counter-attack, and the kind of one-to-zero that many hate. His football is more hated than George's.

As a result, White Hart Lane fans are very unsupportive of Graham. Graham's time in White Hart Lane isn't going well now.

Arriving at Blackburn's home stadium, Graham set up a bucket formation for George. If they're in good form, Blackburn aren't afraid of their dense defending. However, the main players of Blackburn Rovers in this game continued the slump of the previous game.

"George, don't worry. Have you noticed that the new players introduced this season have problems with these conditions? And the state of others is not a problem. Evan whispered to George next to him.

"yes, George. Since the end of December, the training status of those people has also become problematic. Including John and Robert, their form has declined to varying degrees. Carl nodded as well, adding Evan's words.

George nodded, of course knowing that the state of several people had inexplicably fallen into underestimation in recent times.

"Karl, is it true that we don't have a winter break in the English league and it really has such a big impact on them?" George knows their form slump has been going on since late December. This time period coincides with the winter break for the rest of the continent's leagues.

Several of the people that George brought in from France were in a slump at the same time.

"Yes, George. Athletes have a habit of having a surname, just like a lot of our training is done at a time that is about the same as the time of the game. It's a habitual surname, and only then can the players adjust their condition best when they are playing. Carl nodded, explaining to George. John, Robert, they've always played in Ligue 1. They are used to having a holiday at this time. They are used to the winter break, but there is no winter break in the Premier League. So they didn't get used to it for a while. As long as you get used to it later, this kind of problem will not arise. ”

Hearing Carl's words, George breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it's not something else.

Mom, it's a hassle to be a head coach. It would be nice to have everything, if only Blackburn had an institution like the Milan lab.

Why other leagues have a winter break and England doesn't. When he was in the lower leagues before, George didn't feel it. Although there are many games, because the tournament is very long, there is no problem in losing two or three games. In addition, many of the players brought in by George were poached in the lower leagues of England. They are all adapted to the fact that there is no winter break in English football.

But a couple of players from France, all of them are experiencing the January game for the first time. The state is sluggish.

At this time, George missed the English players very much. They don't have that kind of trouble.

"Karl, see if there's any good way to get them through this time." Although there are not many Premier League games in January, there are only three. But if the Blackburn Rovers are in this form every game, it won't be good.

Three games, that's nine points.

Although Blackburn Rovers are no longer in relegation at all, every game is still very important. George in Jack. Walker boasted of a place in the League Cup next season, and now there is still a gap of nearly ten points.

George wasn't willing to let go of the cannon, after all, this season Jack. Walker supports himself so much. It is indeed unjustifiable not to reciprocate.

"George, I don't have much to do about it. It's a matter of adaptation, just like at the beginning of the season, it's a matter of time. I think in a dozen or so days, their winter break will be over. And they slowly recovered. This time next year, this should not be the case. ”

There are still ten days, which means that they will have a certain impact in the next game.

Graham is really a coach who doesn't have much to aspire to, and has always been passive in the game. The game ended up 0-0.

This is already the twenty-second round, and Blackburn has eight wins, eight draws, six losses and 32 points. Still in eighth place in the Premier League. The points are already equal to Liverpool.

George shook his head, thirty-two points. If you want to enter the League Cup, you still need to refuel.
