210 Strong Start (B)
"It's no wonder George is so fond of Klose and reused him against all the gossip when he was at Burnley. When I arrived at Blackburn, I didn't take anyone with me, only Klose. ”
Indeed, George's love for Klose has reached the point where many people can't see it. But George likes Klose, but the grades are good, so no one else can do it.
In fact, a careful analysis of George's team shows that Klose's role is quite large. Klose controlled the first point and then created space for Pire and Duff on the wing, as well as Miku and Deco on the back. Klose has done a very good job in this regard. "Alain. Hansen didn't underestimate Klose as much as everyone else did. On the contrary, I still appreciate it.
'Klose's biggest problem right now is that the goal rate is too low. Since Burnley came on the pitch, Klose has played more than 100 games so far. But Klose has only scored 26 goals, which is really unreasonable. ”
Mortenson's words were very tactful, and compared to some media, he was already very face-saving for George. In fact, many media reporters are completely naked ridicule of Klose's goal rate. One journalist even invented the term "defensive striker", which was the nickname given to Klose.
Blackburn's second goal was scored by the brilliant Pire. It was a typical Blackburn strike, with Klose dropping back and the Coventry defenders moving forward. It's only a little bit forward, but it gives the two wings plenty of space.
After Klose dropped back to get the ball, he flicked with his left foot and played a very simple one-two with Piret on the left.
Pire burst straight into Coventry's six-yard box with the ball and shook off the goalkeeper and defender with a feint shot from a defending defender before slotting home the second goal with a right-footed push.
In the first 30 minutes of the first half, Blackburn had a comfortable 2-0 lead over Coventry.
After Pire's goal, he came to Klose and gave him a bear hug. Although there was a lot of criticism about Klose from the outside, Pire liked Klose very much. Klose is very low-key, and his training is the hardest in all of Blackburn.
More importantly, though, Pire knows he scored more than 10 goals as a wing-back last season at the expense of Klose in front. Klose's retracement is the biggest benefit for Pire and Duff. Give them plenty of space to sprint and make their play even better.
That's why Piret was very fond of this low-key Klose.
Seeing Pire's goal, the Coventry City home fans were booed. I don't know if they're booing their own team or Blackburn, though.
After leading by two goals, Blackburn did not take advantage of the victory. Of course, this was definitely not ordered by George, but a decision made by Deco, who controlled the pace of the game on the field. Georges is not the kind of coach who allows a talented player to play at will, he prefers the German team with iron discipline.
In his last life, when George was studying in China, he knew a little bit. It is iron discipline that can forge a strong army. In fact, the team is no different from the army, and the head coach is the general. If you want to get a good result, iron discipline is a must.
That's why George is a coach with a lot of emphasis on team discipline. So maybe George's team won't be able to play, true genius-style football. But the results will be very consistent.
However, this does not mean that George will completely suppress those talented players, on the contrary, George trusts those players on the field very much. As long as they don't go against George's overall tactics, some individuals within the tactics are encouraged by George.
Therefore, since George has given Deco the right to control the pace of the game, then he will completely trust him.
Deco very consciously slowed down the pace of the game after scoring two goals in the first 30 minutes. Coventry wants to be fast, because fast is the only way to be able to make a gap. to give them a chance to win in the chaos and let their strikers find opportunities.
After the pace of the game slowed down, Coventry couldn't get the ball. Robbie. Keane ran blindly in front, but was very depressed because he couldn't get the ball. Looking at George, who was leisurely with Erlang's legs cocked on the field, he felt very uncomfortable. I was also wondering why George took Klose with him and didn't take him away.
'Deco is getting more and more like a big man, you see when he's two goals up and he's starting to control the tempo. To be slow and slow, to be fast and fast, Deco's performance is really outstanding. If this season had passed, I don't think Deco would have sold it even if it was 10 million pounds. "Mortensen praised Deco's performance.
"yes, Blackburn Rovers are more mature this season. You look at the pace of the game, the speed is appropriate. The whole game was in Blackburn's control. ”
The commentators praised them, and George praised them even more in the dressing room. Everyone praised them by name, and there was a lot of praise for the newcomer Rio Ferdinand. In fact, Ferdinand hardly showed anything in this game.
Coventry's original idea was to use Robbie. Keane's personal ability to open up the situation in front. It's a pity that Makelele has become more and more comfortable with the position of midfielder after a season of training. Makelle is a player who plays with his brain, using his defensive awareness to compensate for his physical and speed disadvantages.
Therefore, it is not easy to walk on the ground, so I start to walk in the air. It's a pity that Hypiana is the airlord, Robbie. How could Keane win over Hyypia.
So Ferdinand didn't have much of a chance to perform. But George didn't care about that, and still praised Ferdinand's performance. This made Ferdinand smile crookedly. I thought to myself, George, the coach, is not as difficult to get along with as the media reported.
In the second half, Coventry stepped up the scramble. There are no bad breeds in Premier League teams, even against the toughest opponents.
They suddenly increased the speed of their attacks, and the ball kept flying in the air. Once Blackburn wanted to control the ball, they went crazy to grab it. The pressure on Deco and Miku in midfield increased.
"Does George want to make a change?" Evan asked George softly.
"What do you think?" George smiled. "Coventry really thinks it's Superman. This kind of full-court pressing, how much physical strength can they squander. Don't worry, Anderson has it in mind. ”
The Blackburn midfielder slowly adapted to the press after a few minutes after being scrambling by Coventry.
Coventry have to pick up the tempo and Blackburn Rovers are also-for-tat. Deco, Miku, Pire, and Klose also picked up the tempo, but not the frantic scramble of Coventry. It's the passing, and it's the speed of the pass that Blackburn accelerates.
Before, Deco controlled the pace of the game, which was to slow down the tempo.
But now in the Blackburn midfield, the passes between them are starting to increase. Passing the ball non-stop, and it's all one-kick passing, plus they keep crossing positions with each other.
George couldn't help but laugh as he watched the change in midfield. Deco is such a smart guy. Even if you rob fiercely, are you as fast as a football?
Coventry's idea is to win in chaos and want to completely throw the pace of the game into chaos. It's a pity that they only messed up the Blackburn midfield for a while, and the back line wasn't messed up at all. But when Coventry's pace picked up, their own defensive line was thrown into disarray.
“…… Miku ...... Nice passing ...... Duff completely broke through the direction of Coventry, and Duff was not greedy...... Miku! Very classic combination, Miku has been a pass and a shot in this game. Three to zero, the game is officially over. ”
"Suke...... Shot! It's a shame that it would have been a beautiful goal if it had been scored. Suker has just used his famous trick to pull the ball with his beautiful left foot......"
"Bellamy...... It was a total dragon, but unfortunately the shot didn't go in. ”
'If it hadn't been for the goalkeeper playing well, Coventry would have been beaten into a sieve in this game.'
Coventry's sudden up-to-date pace in the second half did make Blackburn's midfielder panic for a while. But in less than fifteen minutes, their full-court pressing was beaten by Blackburn.
Strachan shook his head helplessly on the sidelines. Then he turned his head and looked at George, who was sitting there gracefully, the difference in strength between the two teams was too great. Last season's meeting, Coventry were able to have some chances. Coventry, on the other hand, has spent more than £10 million this season, but has found that the gap is becoming more and more obvious.
In fact, there is not much difference between the two teams' investment this season, George seems to have invested a lot, but he actually bought the substitute players with the money from the sale of substitute players. The biggest change on both sides, Coventry has more Robbie. Keane and Gary. Brin, and Blackburn has Ferdinand.
But in this game Strachan found out that there was no chance at all.
And George was chatting and laughing with Evan and Carl next to him. It was too easy to win this game.
"When Blackburn finished fourth in the league last year, there were still a lot of people who thought that Blackburn was a dark horse at best. But I would say that Blackburn Rovers is already a strong team, a strong team that can challenge the traditional order. They now have to challenge champions like Manchester United and Arsenal. ”
"Look at the game, Blackburn were completely in control from start to finish. Coventry wasn't given the slightest chance...... Look at George talking and laughing on the sidelines. I'm sure George won't be satisfied with last season's results, and Ferguson and Arsene Wenger will be keeping an eye on Blackburn's performances. ”
Mortenson praised the current Blackburn, and the referee's whistle sounded in the midst of Mortenson's praise.
A 3-0 win away at Coventry City got the season off to a good start. George was overjoyed and clapped his hands and stood up to greet his players.
"Well done, Anderson. You can get into the national team with this performance. George patted Deco on the shoulder. Such a good performance is even if it is to enter the Brazilian team, why not.
"Thank you, head."
