164 Victories (I)

Speaking of the Premier League, it is completely with the widespread use of television broadcasting, and it has gradually become the league with the largest audience in the world. However, Newcastle, as an old powerhouse in the Premier League, is not very famous in other places.

In the 21st century, Newcastle United's reputation in China is even less than that of Manchester City and Everton. Manchester City has Sun Jihai and Everton has Li Tie, both of which are far more famous in China than Newcastle. In his previous life, George didn't pay much attention to Newcastle.

At that time, I also knew one thing, that is, when I looked at Ferguson's resume, I knew that Ferguson had driven Kevin Keegan crazy. In the end, Newcastle lost a 12-point advantage and relegated to the second place in the Premier League.

But after arriving in England, I found that Newcastle is definitely very prestigious in England.

Newcastle are also a lot of famous players now, in addition to Shearer, a world-class centre-forward, there is also Speed, a former Everton captain. Speed has just moved to Newcastle United for £5.5 million this season. There is also Solano, a Peruvian star who has just transferred this season.

Of course, David Barty, who has been gradually reduced to a substitute, was the main player who won the Premier League title at Blackburn Rovers that year.

This Newcastle United team, George has carefully studied. During Kevin Keegan's time, Newcastle United were known for their attacking play. Newcastle fans also like to watch attacking football, but Kevin Keegan still paid more attention to defense when he was at Newcastle.

And at that time, Newcastle's defense was not as sharp as the offense, but it was also very good. Otherwise, Newcastle would not have been able to compete with Manchester United in the Premier League.

However, with the change of personnel in recent years, and although Gullit has a very good record at Chelsea, there are still problems in defence. Gullit's attack has a very strong Dutch style, the attack is delicate, and the passing has been dominated by short passes, but Gullit's change results are average.

Those Newcastle players are not used to Gullit's transformation. The offense is crazy to play, and you can score four or five goals in a game. But in some games you can lose by three goals, four goals.

As a traditional powerhouse, they can only finish 14th in the Premier League, and Gullit is the same as George who are the favourites to step down as a manager in the Premier League.

Speaking of which, Newcastle have a delicate style of play, but George likes this kind of team the most. George's current style of play is to control the midfield and then open up the opposition defence with two wings. Once the two wings are opened, Miku and Deco in the midfield both have a pass.

They are both able to open up the opposition defence's passing ability in the middle, so as long as the current Blackburn players play their normal strength, then the middle and wide can create enough threat.

A style of play like Blackburn Rovers now, in fact, is most afraid of a tough guy midfielder like Mourinho's Chelsea in the future. Miku and Deco are not afraid of collisions, but the muscular midfielders of Chelsea in later generations are still very much in George's current team.

But there is no such team in the Premier League or European football now.

Competing with David Barty, Speed and Solano for midfield, Miku, Deco and Pire are definitely at ease. George wants to tell Gullitt that in England, it takes skill to play delicate technical coordination. Tell Gullit that Newcastle's wide-open attack is far more practical than his current style of play.

…………

Although it was an away game, George's style of play was not conservative at all.

As stated before the game, Shearer was not in the starting line-up. This allows George to make the team bold in attack, and Shearer is the striker that George fears the most.

The draw against Manchester United had an immeasurable effect on the morale of Blackburn's players. It is also quite beneficial for improving their self-confidence.

Pire, who was extremely good in the Manchester United game, continued his good form in this game. On the left side, it can be said that he is unscrupulous, not only breaking through and playing on the left side, but also going to the middle from time to time to help Miku and Deco comb the midfield.

And without the containment of strong backs like Keane and Vieira, Miku's performance is even more exciting. Miku's passing and passing in the front court are all freewheeling, so that Miku's predecessor David Barty is frequently out of position when defending Miku.

David Barty's form has been declining rapidly, and Barty is only 30 years old by now. It should be said that he is still in the peak of a player, but unfortunately it is incompatible with Gullit's tactics. In the first 10 rounds, only four starts and three substitutes were made. It's a world away from last season's absolute mainstay.

"Look at this Frenchman, a lot of people were laughing at George for bringing in Miku. Ask in a mocking tone: 'Is Miku Zidane?' Some people even said directly, 'Miku is not Zidane'. But looking at this game, it's not hard to see why George is so heavy on Miku. "Martin Taylor was amazed by Miku's performance.

"yes, Barty should be in his prime. But what was brushed by his junior Miku in Blackburn was a group of turns. Miku's technique is very good, and if you look closely, Miku's style of play is indeed similar to Zinedine Zidane. Andy Gray nodded.

"I'm sure Miku doesn't want to be compared to Zidane all the time. Look at Miku's stopping and touching the ball, the fundamentals are very solid. The passing was also excellent. George spent less than three million pounds to bring Miku from France, and the deal was definitely worth it. ”

"Of course it's worth it. Although Miku was questioned in the first few games, it now seems that it is just that he is not used to playing in the Premier League. In the last three games, Miku's performance has been better than one. If this performance is maintained, Miku's worth will definitely exceed 10 million. ”

From the start of the game, Gullit has been on the field. He can't help but be anxious, because Blackburn Rover's two wings are quite sharp at the moment. Duff used his skill and pace to attack Newcastle United's left flank.

The performances of Piret and Duff on the flanks made Gullit feel like he was on pins and needles. It's a pity that if you want to focus on the wing, you can't stop the two midfielders Miku and Deco.

George has been in charge of Burnley since his time in charge of the team, and his transformation of the team has been a combination of the side and the center. It's never just about the same, it's the combination of the wings and the middle that can really make a difference.

Gullit can't let the gate of the middle lane open just because of the wing. Because once the defense in the middle is weak, it really can't be prevented. Manchester United were forced to draw because they didn't defend Deco in the middle.

Gullit's situation of gain and loss did not last long.

George's frenzied attack down the flank finally paid off, and Duff used his speed to cut into Newcastle's box and didn't shoot at Given, but instead passed back to the outside of the six-yard box.

Duff's pass left the gate guarded by Givens open to the open door. Miku, who was following up, gave a light push and the ball rolled into the Newcastle United door from the other direction.

"Look at the ball, David Barty didn't keep up with Miku at all. Miku is not only technically good and has a good pass, but he also has a sharp shot from behind. Blake really made money, and Miku is really strong. ”

"Martin, it's more to Duff for this goal. Duff, who is only 19 years old this year, is really ......"

"Regardless, Blackburn Rovers are now 1-0 ahead of Newcastle. From the start of this game until now, Blackburn have dominated the field. Taking the lead is a matter of course. ”

From the start of the game, the rhythm of the whole game was under Blackburn's control. Newcastle are in their home team and have nothing to do with Blackburn.

Miku, who scored the goal, pushed away the others who came over to celebrate, and ran directly to the camera, lifting his shirt.

"Look at what is written, and be happy. Miku, who is this going to congratulate? Martin Taylor asked, confused. After all, Miku has not been in the Premier League for a long time, and the information is incomplete.

However, Miku quickly told the answer, because after being revealed in front of the camera, Miku flew directly to the Blackburn bench.

George was already standing on the sidelines, raising his arms to greet Miku.

"Head, life is happy." Miku's clumsy English was spoken to George.

Miku doesn't usually talk much on the pitch and rarely in the team. George was also very surprised that Miku should not be such an emotionally exposed player. This made George even more moved, so he kept patting Miku on the back.

Miku is really grateful to George. At a time when all the media are criticizing Miku, George is defending Miku. "John, I said you would succeed in the Premier League."

"I remembered that it would be George's birthday in two days. Miku was congratulating George on his birthday. Martin Taylor saw Miku's movements and immediately understood.

As soon as he said that, he remembered that George was about to turn thirty. At the age of thirty, George is proud of such achievements. ”

"I think George will be happy this year. After all, Blackburn Rovers have begun to gradually shake off the slump at the beginning of the season and start to move towards normal. ”

The first goal was conceded and the Newcastle fans booed. But in the 36th minute of the first half, Blackburn Rovers scored another goal, which completely silenced Newcastle fans.

This time it was Miku and Duff again, Miku shook David Barty again in midfield, and a very simple through pass directly broke through Newcastle's defence. Duff got in very well and shot into the near corner from a tight angle in the face of Given.

'2-0, it was Blackburn's best game of the season. Newcastle were helpless in the face of Blackburn's attack. George and Gullit are both favourites to get out of class, and now it seems that George's position is becoming more and more secure. ”

Yes, George's position is really getting more and more secure. At the end of the first half, the Blackburn players had smiles on their faces and confident eyes. But the Newcastle players were expressionless and didn't have much expression as they passed past Ruud Gullit.

George smiled beside him, it seemed that Gullit didn't just have a bad relationship with Shearer. There should be some problems in controlling the locker room.
