401 Identify new tactics

A five-to-0, Blackburn can be described as sweeping away the haze.

The UEFA Super Cup is not very useful, or rather a very well-regarded competition. But it is also the best of the best of the best games in Europe, and the score of 5-0 is still a big score difference.

Everyone is praising Blackburn's strength.

This is the case with these media. Two days ago, it was said that George was messing around, which caused a good championship team to become this picture. A beautiful victory, and immediately turned around and praised Blackburn. These media outlets have no spine at all.

They can swallow everything that was said yesterday and say the exact opposite today. Of course, tomorrow, if the situation changes, they can still overturn what they said today. The media are all so cheeky.

If they are thin-skinned, those journalists will not be able to eat together.

Laughing at George's most powerful Mark. When Lawrenson saw the 5-0 scoreline, he immediately shrank back.

Mark. Laurentian shrank back, and George wouldn't let him go. George borrowed from the Blackburn Evening News, where he fired back at Mark. Laurenson. In the column, he ridiculed and criticized the views of some people who are short-sighted and all mediocre.

Although George was not named, everyone in English football knows George and Mark. Laurentian had a war of words before the game. Therefore, everyone understands that it is Mark who refers to George and scolds Huai. Laurenson.

It's good that Mark. Laurentian is thick-skinned.

Although he was scolded by George, he had no intention of coming out to fight with George. Continue to be his shrunken turtle.

Mark. Laurentian didn't like George. But he has always followed one principle.

That's when George has a lot of grades, he comes out to ridicule him and laugh at him. When George's grades are good, he will definitely not come out to annoy people. When you have good grades, you come out and laugh at people, it's not a shame for yourself.

………… In addition to hitting back at the media that had mocked him before the game, George calmed down and began to analyze the direction of the team.

After playing the UEFA Super Cup, George gradually understood in his heart.

Deco is different from Alonso, or Alonso is not comparable to Deco at this stage. And the technical styles of the two are also different. As the team's midfield commanders, the difference in their technical styles will of course lead to differences in the team's style of play.

George had fallen into a misunderstanding before.

I always thought that I bought Alonso to fill Deco's position. Therefore, it is always according to Deco's model to ask Alonso. The style of play is always based on the tactical requirements of the team when Deco is there. Of course, this kind of hard installation is unlikely to have good results.

After more than a month of competition, George gradually understood. Alonso is Alonso and Deco is Deco. Alonso is not Deco, and the two of them cannot be exactly the same.

Although Alonso is a little weaker than Deco now, he already has his own style. Alonso defensively strong and his long balls are excellent. Better than Deco in terms of long passes.

And there is no Deco's delicate technology. In terms of ball control, Bideco is a little weaker.

If Deco is more delicate, then Alonso is wide open.

However, at the beginning of the season, George asked Alonso to get closer to Deco, which was really a whimsical idea. With these games, George gradually reacted.

Now Deco is gone.

Blake was going to be in Alonso's house, so he should have created a strategy for Alonso. Instead of reminiscing about the past.

It may be that Blackburn Rovers have been too successful in these four seasons. Two Premier League titles, a UEFA Cup, a UEFA Super Cup, a League Cup, and a heavyweight Champions League.

As a result, even George was a little obsessed with Blackburn at the beginning. Reluctance to change.

So although there have been a lot of changes this season, George still wants to bring his team closer to the original team. I always want to replicate Blackburn's style of play in the past.

Maybe that's why many people are resting on their laurels.

If you are too successful, you will indulge in success. I think this is a model, a successful model. Anything that follows this pattern of success will succeed. That's how George was.

But after more than a month, George finally figured it out.

Previous successes can only be one experience. You can't make everything that comes after you apply the same experience as before.

A good coach should not let his players adapt to the tactics after they have decided on them. Rather, what kind of players should be there, tactics should be developed according to their characteristics.

George changed his previous Blackburn midfield control style of play. Instead, another style of play was developed specifically for Alonso. It's no longer about compressing the opponent's formation. Instead, he used the strong defensive ability of Alonso and Hargreaves to make interceptions at the start of midfield.

Once you make a tackle, quickly pass through the midfield. Use Alonso's long pass ability to launch an immediate counterattack.

It's just that after this tactic was worked out, one person was sacrificed.

That person was Miku.

The former Blackburn, although said Deco was a midfield metronome. But because Blackburn Rovers play a controlling style of play in midfield, Miku up front is important. In particular, Blackburn's original style of play can easily make the opponent defend intensively.

Breaking down dense defenses, Blackburn have two of them who do the best job. It's Miku and Pire, these two are in the midfield, and there is a way to break the dense defense.

Miku is very useful.

Miku has excellent skills, good passing and good shooting, so in the previous Blackburn system, Miku was the heart of the attack. is a very important position.

Although Deco is said to be a midfield metronome, if you look at it from another angle, it is actually an auxiliary Miku.

But now George has changed his style of play, in fact, giving full control of the midfield to Alonso.

As a result, Miku's position is awkward.

Because according to the style of play designed by George, Kaka's impact is very suitable for George's style of play. Kaka is growing, which will squeeze the space of Miku.

And Miku is a genius striker. Only when he has the ball can he use his maximum power. Now George handed the ball to the midfielders and to Alonso. The attack started directly from Alonso, but it was actually ignoring Miku.

George was a little sorry for Miku in his heart.

But for the sake of results, George can only be so. Miku will certainly need to adapt to this change if he wants to continue to perform. In fact, although Miku is not fast, his passing ability and shooting ability, as long as he adapts to this change, he still has a lot to do.

It's just that George is worried about Miku, he's introverted. Some arrogance, but also some inferiority. His mind is a combination of contradictions.

George didn't want Miku to affect his career because of something like this.

Thankfully, Miku didn't express any dissatisfaction with George's tactical play. And I worked hard to adapt to the team.

But the so-called new tactics are not something that can be adapted in a moment.

Alonso's strength is not enough to fully carry the rhythm of Blackburn. In the fast-paced nature of the Premier League, Alonso is not allowed to have more time to think when switching between attack and defence. Therefore, his long pass needs more solid strength.

Plus though it's been in Blackburn for more than a month. However, the technical characteristics of Blackburn's players cannot be said to be completely familiar. It's not so easy to get acquainted with them and want to dominate them.

Now George has completely handed over the attack to Alonso. Alonso couldn't get into shape, leaving the whole team unable to link up fluidly.

This is not only true for Alonso, but also for Miku. Because Miku has always been used to picking up the ball up front, he suddenly became similar to Frank Lampard's character, which Miku is not very familiar with.

However, George's reliance on Miku has not decreased at all.

Although the rhythm of the whole team was given to Alonso, the passing in small areas was still Miku's strongest at Blackburn.

George is adapting his tactics to the new ones.

Adaptation to new tactics takes time.

But even if it takes time to adapt to the new tactics, Blackburn's heritage is there. Blackburn is just a little confused, and the strength is still there. So it's not like in previous seasons, but it's been leading from the beginning of the season.

But Blackburn aren't much behind either.

Manchester United have been in poor form since last season and have been in average form this season. Arsenal, on the other hand, are changing their backline and are adapting to a new defensive system. Arguably the three most powerful teams in the Premier League, all have their own problems.

Therefore, the three teams are not as strong as they used to be.

Although it will not be caught up by Chelsea, Liverpool, Newcastle. But the lead is also not much.

Arsenal's momentum was the best since the start of the season. Manchester United and Blackburn Rovers are both behind Arsenal, but they have been close to Arsenal in points.

Fast forward to mid-November, with Arsenal in first place, Manchester United in second and Blackburn Rovers third. Arsenal are in the best position, seven points ahead of Blackburn Rovers and four ahead of Manchester United.

In the first round of the Champions League group stage, Blackburn met Borussia Dortmund, AJ Auxerre and PSV Eindhoven. Although it was Blackburn Rovers in the rebuilding period, Blackburn Rovers still passed easily in this group stage.

Although the final result came in second place, there were no big waves.

However, the draw for the second round of the Champions League group stage is over, but it is time for the real test.

Blackburn made it to the only group of death. Also in the same group are Ajax, Roma and Valencia. This group is known as the Group of Death, not because there are any super strong teams in this group. It's because all the teams in this group are not very strong. In particular, there is not a single weak team, and all the teams are strong.

Hence the name of the Group of Death.
