186 George is still that George
"Well, George, don't have too much pressure." Walker was satisfied with George's answer. For Blackburn, Walker has deep feelings. After investing in Blackburn, Walker is very happy with himself. Being able to invite Daglish is Walker's most proud handiwork.
Dalglish had just left Liverpool at the time and was temporarily out of the coaching position due to pressure.
Walker also impressed Dalglish with his sincerity, and Dalglish became Blackburn's head coach. In Blackburn's managerial position, Dalglish made a great leap forward. That is to lead Blackburn, who are still in the second division, to become the champions of Premier League clubs.
However, after Dalglish's departure, Blackburn's results plummeted. For three years in a row, I can only try to stay relegated.
That's why Walker invited George to Blackburn, and when he first saw George, Walker felt that this young man would definitely be able to lead Blackburn to good results. This time, I will definitely be as successful as I did when I invited Dalglish.
Therefore, when George's grades were very poor, he still supported George. He was willing to give George more time, and sure enough, after a turbulent period, George's grades immediately improved.
At the end of the nineteenth round, Blackburn Rovers won seven, drew seven and lost five, accumulating 28 points. If there are more than ten points, then it is basically a relegation success. With Blackburn's current form, there is no reason why the remaining nineteen rounds should not be able to score more than ten points.
In other words, Blackburn is no longer in danger of relegation, which has made Walker satisfied with George's results. Walker is even happier to hear that George's goal is to be able to play in the League Cup next season.
Since winning the Premier League, Blackburn Rovers have not had the luxury of competing in Europe for a long time.
"George, if we can play in the UEFA Cup next season. Then I promise you a transfer fee of £20 million. As soon as Walker was pleased, he boasted in front of George.
Although it is now an era of inflated player value, 20 million pounds is still not a small amount. You can still buy a lot of powerful players.
Although Walker is also a wealthy man in England, there is still a big gap between his net worth and a world-class rich man like Abu. Being able to come up with 20 million pounds is like pulling out a hair, but it is not a small amount for Walker.
George didn't know what to say about Walker's gratitude, not only to support himself in times of difficulty. And he has already given a transfer fee of 10 million pounds in the first season, and is willing to give 20 million pounds in the next season.
"Thank you, Mr. Walker." George hastened to thank you Jack. Walker.
Jack. Walker shook his head.
"No, George. I should want to thank you, I believe I have seen the future of Blackburn. You will be able to lead Blackburn to success. ”
Hear Jack. Walker's words, George shook his head.
Without Walker's support, George would have been sacked at other clubs. How could it be possible to wait for this moment when the willows were bright. George's heart for Jack. Walker's gratitude is overwhelming.
If Kilby could also be like Jack. Walker is so supportive, how could he possibly leave Burnley.
The topic is far away.
Anyway, George was happy that night.
The Christmas reception was not only a fun time for the players, but also for George to get more. George got Jack. Walker's strongest support. A coach doesn't care how much the fans love him and how supportive the players are. In fact, in a capitalist society, the most important thing is to get the support of the club's top management.
If you have a conflict with the club's top management, even if you are as good as Bosque, Mourinho, and Benitez, you will be fired.
Twenty-four was happy, but George couldn't relax completely.
Because Blackburn Rovers are about to have two big battles. The number 26 and 28 are both away to Derby County and Middlesbrough. So far, it has been Blackburn's third consecutive away game.
What's more, the competition was too intensive. Two games in three days, and I don't know which bastard set the schedule.
…………
"Heading into December, Blackburn's results have fluctuated a bit. It should be due to physical strength, with one win, one draw and one loss in the first three games. "Martin. Taylor is giving an update on the recent form of the two teams in today's game. "Derby, on the other hand, have drawn three of those three games. 2-2 draw with Chelsea, 1-1 with Coventry City and 0-0 with Everton. The results are also average. ”
"It's like that every year in December, and all teams go into December and the main squad is very tired. At this time, it depends on the bench depth of each team. ”
"But Martin, Blackburn's attacking power this season is unprecedented. From the beginning of the game against Manchester United, Blackburn's firepower was open, and the cooperation in the front court was pleasing to the eye. Their Pire, Duff, Miku, and Deco in the back, these four distracted Blackburn's firepower and made it impossible to guard. It's completely different from what we think of George's team. "Andy. Gray echoed Martin with a smile. Taylor.
"Yes, we have the impression that George has always been defensive and counter-attacking. Especially the FA Cup final and of course the League Cup final, which the two of us commentated. George has played the defensive counterattack to the extreme, and many football celebrities are accusing George's football of being regressive and George's football being negative. But look at Blackburn Rovers right now, one of the most colorful and beautiful teams in the Premier League. Even compared to Arsenal, it is not far behind. ”
"yes, who remembers George building a nasty defensive team now."
"George told everybody that his team can play well, too."
For Blackburn, Martin. Taylor and Andy. Gray both praised it. In their opinion, the current Blackburn Rovers are not only good results, but also beautiful play.
But when the match began, both of their world-class names were dumbfounded.
In this game, George made a big rotation. Miku, Pire, Deco, Van Bronckhorst, Sagnol and Klose were all deployed on the bench by George. In their place was David. Dunn, Romedal, Hargreaves, Luciano. Zauri, Jeff. Kenna, Goodjohnsen.
Of course, even Cudicini was on the bench, not because Cudicini was tired. It's George who wants to give Flores a chance to vent, how to say that Flores has been Blackburn's main goalkeeper for so many years. This season was put directly on the bench by George. George was also a little sorry for Flores.
It can be said that George changed the main lineup by half, knowing that there was also a problem with their coordination. The strongest in the front court is none other than Duff.
So at the beginning of the game, everyone saw a Blackburn Rovers with the ugliest style of play. George replaced Miku and Deco with both the midfielders, so the midfielders no longer played a controlling style of play. Instead, Makelele and Hargreaves were the two midfielders, with Makelele holding the position and Hargreaves as the sweeper.
David. Dunn came through Blackburn's academy and is the quintessential England midfielder. The body is tough, not afraid of physical collision, full of physical strength, and the attack on the back insertion, and the long-range shot is also very good. If you say it's similar to Frank Lampard's characteristics.
So all three midfielders retreated and started defending.
And although Romedale is a strong full-back, he is also a typical Nordic player. So he was also asked to defend by George, plus Gudjohnsen's retreat defense. In fact, only Duff on the left side was left in the front.
No, it doesn't work, because there are too many people in the back line compared to the main strength. George needs to protect the backline.
Since then, George has started to play dense defense again.
And it's the kind of dense defense that is very rare in the Premier League, not only were the two commentators dumbfounded, but even the manager of Derby County was beaten by George.
Derby County and Blackburn Rovers are now just one place apart. Derby County still have ideas on their home turf, so the Derby County manager has studied Blackburn. It's a pity that he didn't study Burnley and forgot that George is a manager with a strong utilitarian surname.
George has a saying, "Don't lose a game, even if you can't win." ”。 It seems that he really hadn't heard of George's words.
For defense, although George does not dare to say that he can compare with the Italian team, he still has a lot of experience. The three lines of forwards, midfielders and defenders are kept compact, and there is no room for Derby County's speedy striker Hackby.
Midfielders Hargreaves and David. Dunn and the two, with abundant physical strength, ran tirelessly in the midfield.
Just as Chelsea and Arsenal were very uncomfortable facing Burnley. It was the first time that Derby County had encountered such a defence, and their players were completely uncomfortable up front and couldn't play any coordination.
The game is so dull that any neutral fan will yawn when he sees it.
But George didn't care, sitting on the bench and cocking Erlang's legs. At Burnley, the kind of scene George was all too familiar with. But Derbyshire doesn't know!
Thirty-two minutes into the game, Hargreaves got the ball and handed it to Duff. Duff was the only one in the front court who had free time in the whole game and didn't have to get involved in much defense. So when he got the ball, Duff went down the mountain and ran 50 meters.
In the end, he knocked to the middle and stabbed Dunn from his follower to take a 1-0 lead over Derby County.
'Hahaha, the manager of the Premier League team, should really take a good look at Burnley's previous games. George's performance at Blackburn made them forget what George's origin was. George is a defensive counter-attacking coach. "See David. The moment Dunn scored, Martin. Taylor laughed.
"Yes, it's definitely not the first time George has played this kind of defensive counter-attack. How could Derby County be so negligent with Duff. ”
"George is still the same George, George hasn't changed at all. The utilitarian surname in George's bones seems to be impossible to disappear. As long as it is for the sake of results, George does not care about any means. "Martin. Taylor shook his head, thinking to himself. Praised George in vain before the game.
"Other coaches don't show it even if they are so utilitarian in their hearts. But George is naked, telling people that he's a coach who lives for results. I don't know if it's his strengths or weaknesses. ”
