Although Blackburn Rovers are a team in the relegation zone, their status in the eyes of the English media is completely different from other relegation teams.

Blackburn Rovers were a Premier League winning team three years ago. Before Arsenal won the Premier League, Blackburn Rovers were the only team in Premier League history other than Manchester United to have won the Premier League. And the way Blackburn won the title was criticized by many people in English football at the time.

Unlike those traditional powerhouses in the Premier League, Blackburn was born with Jack. Walker's ownership, the champion who piles up with money. In the process of rising, it has been criticized by people in English football.

Guns shoot the first birds, anywhere in the world. Unlike traditional English giants such as Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal, Blackburn Rovers are completely nouveau riche. As a result, many teams are unhappy with Blackburn's rise.

However, when Blackburn Rovers declined at a straight-line speed, many people in English football missed the glory of Blackburn in those days.

In addition, the current Blackburn head coach George was already a talking point in English football when he was in League One and League Two. Not only is England's best homegrown young coach in recent years, but also a coach with a surname.

Therefore, Blackburn's recent excellent form has still received a lot of attention from the English media.

"Draw away at Manchester United, win away at Newcastle, win at Southampton and Sheffield Wednesday in succession, and have won three and drawn one in the last four games. The best team in the Premier League in recent times. From five draws and four defeats in the first nine rounds, to three wins and one draw recently, Blackburn Rovers have completely stepped out of the shadow of the beginning of the season. ”

'George is a coach who started out defensively and that's something that everybody in English football knows. While George's Burnley have scored the most goals in League One, and even in the Carabao Cup and FA Cup, his tactics have been out-and-out counter-attacks. ”

'The role of a couple of his midfielders is entirely for his wings. Including Burnley's midfielder at the time, Ballack, he rarely passed through the opposition's defence, and more often used his long balls to dispatch two wings. Burnley relied more on the assault of the two flanks, and the attack from the back of Ballack. ”

Burnley, on the other hand, won the League Cup and FA Cup on the back of a strong defence and sharp counter-attacks. This is the tactic that George developed during his three years at Burnley, and although this tactic was criticised by others, it brought Burnley the best results. ”

And after George took charge of Blackburn, everyone thought that George would still be his best defensive counter-attacking tactic. But after so many rounds, we can now get a glimpse of George's tactics at Blackburn. This is a completely alternative tactic to current English football, and even more so to George's previous tactics at Burnley. ”

"George's style of play is somewhat similar to the 4-2-3-1 formation that is most commonly used on the continent, but the style of play is different from theirs. In midfield, Claude Makelele is a purely defensive midfielder who hardly participates in any attacks. As soon as the ball is broken, it will be handed over to the rest of the midfield. Of course, George started as a defensive coach, and Deco, another man in midfield, will also help Makelele defend. But Deco is more of a passer with his own passing, assisting Miku in front of him, and controlling the pace of the game. ”

"And the attack relies more on the front three, Miku, Pire, and Duff. All three of them are strong in attack and can pass and shoot. The single arrow Klose is not like a striker, his main task is not to shoot. Instead, he uses frequent runs to disrupt the opponent's defense and involve the opponent's defenders. Create chances for Miku, Pire, and Duff to shoot. ”

"The current Blackburn Rovers rely entirely on the ball control ability of a few players in the midfield and play a pressing style of play. Being able to surpass Manchester United in possession at Old Trafford, despite the influence of Manchester United players playing international matches. But you can also see Blackburn's style of play. ”

"And for the next three games, Blackburn Rovers continued to have a high rate of possession. The average possession rate in the three games was 60.4 percent, which is enough to see that George's transformation of Blackburn has almost been completed. George's Blackburn Rovers not only have excellent results, but also play beautifully. ”

"I'm looking forward to what Blackburn Rovers will do in the Premier League, which has begun to take shape?"

The Sun newspaper actually began to analyze George's tactics, saying that the head is the way, and after George read it, he almost didn't laugh. The Sun, you bastard newspaper, was the one that ridiculed and criticized the most when George was in trouble. And their sarcasm is completely naked. When they criticized George, they showed no mercy.

Now that Blackburn has gotten better, the first thing to change attitude is this tabloid. The Sun doesn't care about anything else, they have only one goal. It's how to raise the reader's eyeballs, and they will report whatever news has an explosion.

Of course, this is a common problem in all media, not just The Sun. When George's grades were bad, the media fell into the well one after another. But now that Blackburn's results are up, those media are starting to say good things about George and Blackburn.

The newspapers, the media, and many football commentators who had previously vowed that Blackburn would be relegated this season have now changed their tune.

George kept the newspapers on the table, and as his grades improved, George saw the faces of the newspapers. Although George has known for a long time that the competitive world is a hero who wins or loses. As long as you don't get good grades, no matter what kind of results you have achieved before, then you will be forgotten.

When I was a coach at Burnley, I was in the lower leagues, after all. The attention is still not high, and George can build his team in a relaxed environment. But the Premier League is really different, every move is in the magnifying glass of the media.

George has already fully appreciated what it means to be warm and cold this season, and in the summer, George was also England's best young homegrown coach. But for the next two months, George was ridiculed by everyone. Almost everyone said that George was the best in English football, and that George was the brightest meteor in English football.

Therefore, for the comments of the media, George can be completely pampered and not shocked.

However, for one person's praise, George expressed his gratitude specifically through the Blackburn Evening News.

That's the Liverpool King, and it's Blackburn's decorated coach, Dalglish. Dalglish is a legend in English football, both as a player and as a coach.

Dalglish came through the Scottish Legion team, where he was the top scorer. In Scotland he won five league titles, four Scottish cups and one League Cup, scoring a total of 167 goals.

Later, he came to Liverpool, and in that red era, Dalglish became one of the brightest stars of Liverpool's red dynasty. It was Keegan who came to Liverpool in place of the departed, where he became a striker and made great contributions to Liverpool.

Of course, if it were only that, he would not have such a position in Liverpool and English football.

Dalglish went on to become Liverpool coach and led Liverpool to successive League One titles. If it weren't for the later Hillsburg tragedy, Dalglish would have led Liverpool to more titles.

And Dalglish's legend is not over, he left Liverpool and moved to Blackburn. Blackburn Rovers were still in the second tier of England at the time, but Dalglish led them back to the Premier League and became champions in the 94-95 season.

Dalglish is not only the king of Liverpool fans with his excellent results. Also a favourite coach among Blackburn fans, Blackburn fans are still nostalgic for the Dalglish era.

After more than a year in charge of Newcastle United, Dalglish is now at home. However, it has always been a deep and simple place, and there has been no big news. I didn't expect to come out in solidarity with George this time.

"George is the most talented young coach I've ever met, and Blackburn has already formed a fighting force under George."

"Blackburn Rovers are not in the top of the table at the moment, but this is only temporary. Blackburn has already run in, and it's time to get results. And now Blackburn is under George, and their ability to control the game is stronger than ever. It's the most promising team I've ever seen. ”

"Inviting George as Blackburn Rovers coach was the best move Mr. Walker ever made. George is not a sticky coach, he is able to adapt to local conditions. At Burnley he created a series of excellent results with his counter-attacking defence, and at Blackburn he also had a good result with his unique pressing style of play. ”

"For the Blackburn fans, I think they should give George some time, some trust. I'm sure George will give them something in return that they couldn't have imagined. ”

Dalglish is Blackburn's decorated coach, and his support has not been a star-missed benefit to George. In his column, Dalglish was a strong admirer of George.

George can not care about the reports of other media, but George cannot ignore Dalglish's praise. So in the newspapers, George first praised Dalglish's achievements at Blackburn. Then thanked Dalglish for the compliment.

George, who grew up in China in his previous life, wrote this kind of thank you letter with his hand.

Of course, not all the media praised George, and many newspapers continued to criticize George. Mark. Laurentian expressed doubts about George's three-game winning streak, which he thought didn't have much value. Facing two underdogs on their own home turf and getting two wins is not something to brag about.

However, three consecutive wins are three consecutive victories after all, and the doubts about George are just a few newspapers that have a grudge against George.
