After the ninth round of the Premier League, there is the national team competition. So George had almost two weeks to adjust and train.

Affected by Blackburn's record, Blackburn's number of internationals this time has been sharply reduced. It's very good to say that Hyypia and Duff are like this, after all, the national team is average and needs them. However, the talented French national team, Pire, who was not the absolute main force, and Miku, Makelele, Sagnol, Gala and others who worked hard to enter the national team were all defeated.

Not to mention Deco and Klose, the German team simply doesn't care about a German player who is working hard in the Premier League. Unless it can show the same strength as Ballack at the beginning, the German national team will not pay attention to Klose.

And Deco is very sad, although he has become a Portuguese citizen. But Deco, as a native of Brazil, will definitely be the first team to choose. It's a pity what kind of team Brazil is, it is the kingdom of world football. Their problem has never been that there are not enough good players, but that there are just too many good players.

They have so many options that many players will never be able to make it to the Brazilian team for the rest of their lives. As a result, many people can only change their nationality to join other countries' teams in order to fulfill their World Cup dreams. That's the problem with Deco right now, the Brazilian national team has quite a few good players in this position right now.

Deco? Does he want to be in the Brazilian national team? Everyone laughed.

But the most depressed is none other than Van Bronckhorst. After being switched to left-back by George, Van Bronckhorst's performance is better among the current Blackburn players. Van Bronckhorst is definitely a strong guy and very adaptable.

Unlike Claude Makelele, who has not yet fully entered the midfield position, Van Bronckhorst has a lot of opinions on switching to left-back, but he still plays vigorously. Unfortunately, Blackburn's results were too poor during this time. Coupled with Van Bronckhorst's switch to left-back, Van Bronckhorst's name was not included in the Dutch squad this time.

This made Van Bronckhorst very depressed, and he was also quite dissatisfied with George. But it's not good to play attitude in front of George, George has been in a bad mood recently, and he doesn't want to hit a wall.

As George himself said, George was still young. There are almost thirty years left as a coach, but as a player Van Bronckhorst doesn't have that much time. If he really fell out with George, and George let him sit on the cold bench for a season or two, then his career would be ruined.

So for the past two weeks, George has been grinding the team. And it's against Manchester United, and these two weeks have been so important for George.

…………

On October 17, the tenth round of the English Premier League kicked off at Old Trafford. Blackburn Rovers face Manchester United away.

After being beaten 3-0 by Arsenal, United were unaffected. On the contrary, in the last three games, the form is hot. They beat Liverpool 3-0 at home and then beat Southampton 4-0 away. In the last round, they won 5-1 at home to Milton.

Twelve goals have been scored in the last three games, and the form is hot. They are the best form in the Premier League in recent times.

At this time, Ferguson's most hated national team game has arrived, unlike a small team like Blackburn. Most of the players at Manchester United are members of the national team. From goalkeepers and defenders to midfielders and forwards, they are the main players of the national teams of various countries. Even the players on Manchester United's bench are the main members of the national teams of various countries, so when it comes to the national team games, Manchester United's training ground is empty.

Ferguson prays at this time that his players don't get hurt. I also pray that my players don't get too tired.

George is thankful for this rare free time, which has not only disrupted United's excellent form. It also gives yourself time to adjust to your team.

'If it had been three years ago, it would have been a big part of the Premier League. At the time, Manchester United were the strongest team in the Premier League, and Blackburn Rovers were gradually reaching the top under Dalglish. Three years later, Manchester United are still the best team in the Premier League, while Blackburn Rovers are no longer what they used to be. ”

"Blackburn have been hovering in the relegation zone for the past three years, and last season they were relegated by two points. This season, Blackburn Rovers hit rock bottom. With just five points from nine league games, they are the bottom team in the Premier League. In the seventh round, he was beaten 8-0 by Arsenal. It can be said that the current Blackburn form is extremely bad. ”

"This away face against Manchester United seems to be more than lucky."

The commentator is not optimistic about the current Blackburn at all, after all, Blackburn's state is extremely poor.

"There was another highlight of the game because Ronnie Johnson had a minor injury and was not included in the squad for the game. He was replaced by Henning Berg, one of Blackburn's winning decorators that year. Berg was a regular player at Blackburn Rovers during their title-winning campaign and moved to Manchester United last year for £5 million. He is an important rotation player for Manchester United. ”

At this time, George was already in the locker room to make the final tactical arrangements and mobilization for the players.

'Manchester United's two wings are characteristic. Giggs broke through sharply, Beckham's cross was precise. Beckham, while not the best in speed and technique, is not bad either. So just thinking about how to defend the two wings was quite passive. So don't think about how to limit their wings, but control their middle. ”

'Manchester United's midfield today is Keane and Paul Scholes. Although it is two people, Keane is a ruthless defender and a good position. Scholes is a man who passes the ball well and shoots from distance. His biggest characteristic is the attack on the back insertion. ”

"Claude, I've told you so many times. Your place is here, you don't think about anything else. You're going to give me a firm grip on this position, and don't let Scholes and David Beckham get into this position. That's your job, to protect John and Anderson from the back without putting them in front of our backline. "Claude Makelele hasn't fully adapted to the midfield position, but he's gradually finding his groove.

But the position was so important in this game that George once again emphasised Makelele's role.

"John, you're going to face Keane in this game. Don't get entangled with him, if you entangle him, you will lose. Don't forget that your task is not to tangle with him, but to lead the whole team to attack. So don't fight him on the pitch and always watch the position of our own players and the opponent's gaps. ”

"Anderson, you're on a heavy mission. Against Manchester United, especially against their wings, we have to bring our wings alive. It takes not only John's threatening passing, but also your playmaking on the pitch. Keane will definitely focus on John, and you should be under less pressure. So you have to make the most of the width on the field and get both Robert and Damien on the ball. ”

George chose Miku and Deco because they are both capable of being the core of the team. Both of them are players with great technique and good passing, and it's hard to prevent both of them from dying. Although at the beginning, because they did not adapt to the rhythm of English football, it was difficult to play the role of their duo. But after two months, they have gradually adapted to the English style of football.

"Robert, Damien, the two of you have a lot of work to do in this game. Manchester United's two full-backs are Gary Neville and Dennis Owen. Damien, Dennis Owen is strong, but after all, the age is there. With speed, speed is the best way to deal with him. Robert, Gary Neville could be ferocious defensively. But don't be afraid, use technology, don't be brutal with him, use your technology. ”

Pire and Duff, George believes they are no weaker than the wide combination of Ryan Giggs and David Beckham. It's just that Piret is not fully adapted to the English game now, and Duff is still too young. So it's just not as famous as Ryan Giggs and David Beckham.

"Finally, I ask you to run. The whole field has to run, and pull them away with running. When defending, you have to run, and you have the advantage of numbers in a small area. When attacking, you have to run, keep running, pull away their defenses. The Manchester United players have all played in international competitions and are not as physically fit as we are. We're a little bit worse than Manchester United in every way at the moment, so make up for that little bit with your runs. Manchester United is nothing special, as long as you play your strengths, we can beat Manchester United just as well. ”

George finally slammed it the board. In order to prepare for the game against Manchester United, George prepared for two weeks.

"Do you remember being 0-8?" George stood in the middle, took a breath and said slowly, "It was the biggest humiliation I've ever experienced since I became a coach. I'm too embarrassed to go out and meet people, I'm too embarrassed to meet friends. Zero to eight, what kind of a big shame is this. ”

"Have you forgotten that it's 0-8?"

"How is that possible, head. It's the first time I've been beaten 0-8 since I was a player. Hendry stood up and shook his head.

Hendry was dissatisfied with George, not only purging so many players. even let Flores be a substitute and sat on the bench. But now that Blackburn is on the edge of a cliff, Hendry must defend and cooperate with George.

Williams also specifically approached Hendry and told him that Hendry George would never leave class. Hopefully, Hendry can assist George.

"Yes, how can this shame be forgotten. This is a shame for our lifetime, and I hope you all will remember it in your hearts. ”

'We met Manchester United today, Manchester United and Arsenal are teams at the same level. I hope you can tell everybody about the great performance you played in the game at Manchester United. Zero to eight was nothing more than an accident. Do you want to wash away the shame! ”

"Yes! Think! ”

George nodded.

"Okay, let's play. Don't forget, have a strong heart. As long as you have the heart of a strong man, any opponent can be defeated. ”
