The game was lost and George did not blame the players. Instead, the next day's holiday was cancelled, and now Blackburn Rovers needed more than time.

There wasn't much opposition from all the players, after all, the game was really rubbish. With a group of technical flow players, there are also five midfielders, but they can't control the ball. Because the midfielder couldn't control the ball, Duff on the right side was also quite depressed.

Duff is not a superman, as long as he has a ball, he can play a dragon. Duff, although he is strong, also needs the support of the midfield. But the midfield couldn't support it, so Duff's performance in this game was also very little.

Not to mention the back line, which was under tremendous pressure throughout the game. Makelele didn't have the strength he had when he was a midfielder. The protection of the guard line is also not enough.

Blackburn was training quietly, but the media didn't want to let George go.

Mark Laurenson's comments on the first round of the Premier League on Sky TV and when he talked about Blackburn, the tone was immediately much more intense.

'I don't understand where George saw that Claude Makelele could be a midfielder. To have a body without a body, to have speed without speed. All I saw was him running around the whole game. Of course, Makelle can't be blamed for that, he is a good right-back and is now being put in a central midfield position by George. ”

"And look at Van Bronckhorst, such a good midfielder, but in the left-back position. When George was at Burnley, Burnley fans called George a magician. Did George really think he was a magician? ”

"Of course, there are also Pire and Miku, who Georges bought from France at a high price, and they are completely unsuitable for English football."

"It cost over £20 million and I don't even know what team George is building. George keeps saying that the team's goal is definitely not to fight for relegation. But I would say that it's hard to say whether Blake could have been relegated or not. George really had to think about how to stay relegated. ”

Mark Laurenson's criticism of George leaves no room for error.

Although George's current grades are very bad, it doesn't mean that George has changed his temper now. Although the game was lost, George was still angry.

'I put Claude in midfielder because Claurentian is a coach and he certainly doesn't know how to position players. If Mr Laurentian could see why I used Claude Makelle as a midfielder and Van Bronckhorst as a left-back, he would have been a coach rather than a football commentator. If it is so easy to be a coach, why does FIFA issue a coaching qualification certificate, a cat and a dog can be a coach with just two words. ”

George was even more unkind to Mark Laurenson. It's almost like pointing at his nose and scolding Mark Laurenson for being a cat and a dog.

Mark Laurenson, of course, was not silent, and immediately wrote a rebuttal in the column of The Sun. "George is a magician and I'm going to see what kind of development Makelele can do in the midfield position. I don't know if George's mouth is so hard when the time comes. ”

…………

Of course, although he was fighting with Mark Laurenson, George did not relax his training for the team at all.

After the first round, there is only one week. On 22 August, Blackburn Rovers face Nottingham Forest away.

In fact, Blackburn's schedule this year is not very bad, although the first two games were away from home. But the first game is against West Ham United, although West Ham United's results in the past two years have not been bad. However, West Ham United are not a Premier League powerhouse either, and the second round is against Nottingham Forest, who have just been promoted this season.

The first two games weren't very formidable opponents, if it weren't for the fact that the current Blackburns were just formed. Both opponents are among the games where points can be earned.

George is familiar with Nottingham Forest, having faced Burnley and Nottingham Forest several times in League One last season. George knew a lot about Nottingham Forest at the time.

Of course that was for Nottingham Forest last season, and this season Nottingham Forest has had a big change. It was Nottingham Forest who actually adopted a two-leader system, that is, two managers were appointed. One is Bad Sett, who led Nottingham Forest to the Premier League, and the other is Long Atkinson.

George is deeply unworthy of Badnet, who led Nottingham Forest to a higher level, and it can be said that he has contributed a lot to Nottingham Forest. However, Nottingham Forest's board of directors has adopted a two-leader system.

George has always scoffed at the double-leader system, the double-leader system. Who listens to whom?

Nottingham Forest are a strong team in League One, but in the Premier League they are a soft persimmon. Among the odds to be relegated this year, Nottingham Forest and Blackburn Rovers are the highest-ranked odds. The second round was a veritable battle between two relegation teams.

Nottingham Forest's attack power is not strong, and it couldn't be lower than West Ham United in the first round.

But George didn't despise his opponent because he was weak. The current Blackburn Rovers are weaker than Nottingham Forest, at least Nottingham Forest have cooperated for many years. Therefore, George's requirements for midfielders Deco and Miku are still the same as in the previous game, controlling the ball in the midfield.

Don't rush to attack, and then let Pire and Duff switch positions from time to time. Both of them are good left and right.

What George desperately needs now is Deco and Miku and Pire, as they get used to the pace of the Premier League.

But things can't be rushed, so we can only take our time. In this match, Miku and Pire performed much better. But this is also related to the weakness of Nottingham Forest, but even if it is much better, it is just that it does not concede as many goals as it did the first time.

Deco and Miku are both important players in George's midfield, with Deco positioned a little further back and was the metronome that controlled Blackburn's attacking and defensive tempo. Blackburn's rhythm is mainly controlled by Deco.

And George's request for Miku is that Blackburn Rovers are the heart of the attack. In the attacking line, Miku can pass and shoot suddenly. As long as Miku can really settle into Blackburn Rovers and adapt to the pace of the Premier League, then his threat up front will be able to show.

And Pire, on the left, is not only a wide attacker, but also a good complement to Miku.

The whole game was still relatively depressing, although Blackburn's midfield was much smoother than the previous game. But it's just a reversal in the middle and back, and once you want to move forward, there is still not much you can do.

The most surprising thing for George was not Miku, who needed to adapt to the Premier League, which George had long thought about. George was surprised by Pire, who was so poorly adapted. There is no indication that Pire, who will dominate Arsenal in the future, but he has made a series of mistakes.

Pire's greatest strength is not his speed, but his technique and passing. But Pire also had a big problem in these two cases, and he did very poorly in terms of timing of passes and one-on-one passes.

Without the support of Deco and Miku, Duff is even more alone on the wing.

Klose is not a prolific goalscorer, without the support of the midfield and the wings, Klose really has no performance now.

The game was a dull battle, and Nottingham Forest were not strong enough to break down Blackburn's defence. Blackburn, on the other hand, also had too many problems in attack and failed to break through the gates of Nottingham Forest. The final match ended 0-0.

George finally picked up his first league point in his Premier League career.
