Coaching legend

Two consecutive draws, although not a good score. But George was smiling all the time.

Because although it was only two draws, George had already seen the signs of the team's recovery. Compared with the team that had no hope in the previous few games, Blackburn now looked more and more like a team.

Especially Miku's outstanding performance, George saw it.

So what if there are four points in six rounds of games, as long as Blackburn performs well in the following games, they can still get a good ranking. Therefore, George is not only in front of the media, but also in front of the players.

When some reporters asked questions, George would answer with a smile. Let those reporters think George took the wrong medicine.

…………

It has been more than a month since the Premier League started, and the time has come to September 26th.

Before that, on the 22nd, Blackburn faced the second round of the League Cup. It was against Millwall from the English League. In this game, George made a thorough rotation, and Gallas, Hargreaves, Gudjohnsen, and Romedal all played. Unfortunately, the effect was not good. They lost to Millwall in the penalty shootout in the second round of the League Cup.

But George didn't care too much. The League Cup is a cup competition without any weight. If it is lost, it is lost. Anyway, more important games are waiting for Blackburn.

On this day, Blackburn will face the seventh round of the Premier League, which is also a real big test. In the seventh round of the Premier League, Blackburn will face Wenger's Arsenal at home.

Last year's Arsenal was the first full season that coach Wenger coached Arsenal, and Arsenal won the league championship. Of course, if George's Burnley hadn't been there, Arsenal would have won the double crown. This year's Arsenal's momentum has not diminished, and it is still at the top of the Premier League.

Especially in the last round, there was a highlight in the Premier League. Of course, this highlight was just the beginning of their competition, that is, Arsenal faced Manchester United at home.

In this strong dialogue, Arsenal actually defeated Ferguson's Manchester United 3-0, which surprised all the media and football commentators. Although Arsenal won the Premier League last year, Arsenal's state was not particularly stable at the time. They even lost to Liverpool 0-4 in the last round, and this ups and downs were still criticized.

But this season, Arsenal's performance began to stabilize. The biggest contribution was none other than Vieira. Since the start of the new season, Vieira's performance has been getting better and better.

Maybe winning the World Cup with the French team gave Vieira a lot of confidence. Although Vieira was a substitute in the French team, the rising momentum of the French team may have also affected Vieira. Vieira's performance after returning to Arsenal was extremely outstanding, and he began to show the level of a world-class defensive midfielder.

Facing such an Arsenal at home, George was very careful. Arsenal this season is better than last season, especially Yongberg, who Wenger bought from Burnley. Not long after joining Arsenal, Parlour was squeezed to the bench. And in the last round against Manchester United, he also scored one goal and made one pass, which was one of the major contributors to the victory over Manchester United.

…………

"George's luck is really not very good. Blackburn has just shown a little sign of improvement recently. He unexpectedly ran into Arsenal, which is in hot form recently." This is the third time Martin Taylor has commented on Blackburn's game this season.

Of course, this time he commented on Blackburn's game, not because of George's face. It's because this is a game between Arsenal and Blackburn. First of all, Arsenal is heavy enough. Secondly, George snatched the FA Cup championship from Arsenal last season, which is also a good selling point.

Therefore, this game is also a focus game, so Martin Taylor, a big name of Sky TV, came to comment in person.

"Yes, Arsenal is in hot form now. Manchester United had no power to fight back in the last game, which was very unexpected. I don't know how George will deal with this game." Andy Gray personally commented on the last game between Arsenal and Manchester United.

At that time, they were shocked by Arsenal's strong performance. After all, in the Premier League, or even in Europe, how many teams can beat Manchester United 3-0.

"I think Blackburn is going to be in trouble in this game. Blackburn is facing the Premier League champion Arsenal."

"Martin, I think George should pray to lose fewer goals now."

…………

If George heard their commentary, he would definitely go up and scold them. Of course, if he was in front of him now, George would definitely not be able to help but shake his fist and give them one fist each. You two damn crow mouths, why are you cursing your own Blackburn like this.

Because less than 30 minutes into the first half, Blackburn was already 0-3 behind at home. George never thought of this.

Miku, who had just recovered a little in the first two games, was beaten by Vieira at the beginning of this game. Vieira's strong body and experienced defense made Miku lose the ball frequently in the frontcourt.

In this game, Wenger was uncharacteristically asking Vieira to defend Miku and Petit to defend Deco. This alternative method completely confused George. Logically speaking, Petit, as a defensive midfielder, should have defended his own defense area. Vieira is the metronome in Arsenal's offensive and defensive system.

But Wenger boldly let Petit come out to defend Deco, the midfielder who was at the back. This was a risky approach, because once Blackburn counterattacked, Arsenal's defensive midfielder position would be empty. Therefore, George did not expect Wenger to play such a risky style.

Because he did not expect it, George did not adjust for a while, but in a short time, Arsenal scored three goals in a row and beat Blackburn 3-0.

These three goals completely stunned George. Not only George was stunned, but even the Blackburn players on the field were stunned.

George did not know what to do. There was absolutely no such tragic start in George's coaching career. However, before George changed, before the end of the first half, Anelka received a pass from Overmars and scored another goal. This was the second time that Blackburn's goal was broken in this game.

During the halftime break, George did not know what to say. It can be said that George was completely defeated by Arsenal. He could only barely muster up morale, and George himself did not believe that he could make a comeback in the second half. So George just hoped that they would not lose the ball again in the second half.

But the already distraught Blackburn players could not raise their spirits at all, and they were scored four more goals in the second half. The young player Anelka performed his first hat trick in his career at Ewood Park.

Overmars scored twice, Bergkamp scored twice, Keown scored one goal, and Ljungberg assisted a hat trick. It can be said that Blackburn just gave Arsenal players a lot of data in this game.

George didn't know what he should do on the sidelines, walking around. The boos from the whole audience could not affect George, boos! Now George himself couldn't help booing.

"George, you bastard from Burnley, go back to your Burnley."

"You are the worst coach in Blackburn's history, shit. We don't want to watch your game, go back to Burnley."

Just as George was walking around aimlessly on the sidelines, a big bald head shouted at George in the seat behind the Blackburn bench. Then he started to insult George loudly.

George, who had been holding back too much anger in this game, suddenly exploded when he heard the words of the big bald head. Pointing at the big bald head. "If you don't want to watch, don't watch it. Blackburn doesn't need a fan like you. Just get out of here and stop watching the game."

George's sudden outburst stunned the bald head for a moment. But then the bald head and the fans beside him began to scold George loudly.

"Burnley bastard, go back to Burnley."

"Blackburn is not your team, get out!"

"Blackburn doesn't welcome you!"

George, who had been patient for a long time since entering Blackburn, also lost his mind at this time. "You bunch of shit, you don't have to come to watch the game. Even without you bunch of shit, Blackburn has plenty of fans."

George's words angered these fans, and even some fans were about to rush into the field.

At this time, Carl and Evan on the bench hurried over to hold George. George returned to the bench while waving his fist at the fans.

Of course, such a wonderful scene did not escape the director's eyes, and almost all the conflicts were recorded.

"George is too uncalm. He has a tense relationship with Blackburn fans. This time, I believe his days in Blackburn are even more difficult." Martin Taylor did not approve of George's impulsiveness.

"Maybe George has been under too much pressure in recent days. This game turned out like this again. 0-8, this is the biggest defeat in Blackburn's history. The last such a huge defeat can be traced back to the English League One in 1933, and the opponent was still Arsenal. In that game, Blackburn also lost eight goals and finally lost 0-8. Now there are less than ten minutes left in the game. If Arsenal scores another goal, George will rewrite the record of the biggest defeat in Blackburn's history."

Fortunately, Arsenal did not break through Blackburn's gate again. Otherwise, 0-9 is a new record for Blackburn, a new record of shame for Blackburn. But even if it is not 0-9, George still created a shame, and 0-8 is still the biggest defeat in Blackburn's history.

George's face was livid. The self-confidence that he had built up with great difficulty in the first two games was completely lost because of this game. George did not go to the press conference. Of course, those reporters were secretly complaining in their hearts. But they also knew that George was such a person. George did not appear at the press conference more than once or twice.

And because George did not appear at the press conference, he was punished by the English Football Association. But George still did his own thing and did not take the warning of the Football Association seriously. However, at the press conference after the game, after all, Wenger, the winner of the game, was present, so it didn't matter whether George was there or not.

George looked at a group of listless players and the confidence he had just built up. This game made all his efforts in the previous month go to waste. It really went back to the pre-liberation era overnight.
