Coaching legend

George stood at Old Trafford and looked around. Old Trafford, which can accommodate 70,000 people, is indeed luxurious. It is not inferior to any stadium George has seen, including Wembley Stadium last season.

Old Trafford is full of people today, of course, Manchester United's home stadium has always been like this. In addition to the hundreds of empty seats left by the club in each game to prevent other unexpected events, there will be no empty space. If those hundreds of seats are also sold, there will be no worries about no one buying tickets.

When statistics were taken, the attendance rate of Old Trafford was 99.9%, but in fact, it should be said that the attendance rate of Old Trafford is 100%.

George breathed a sigh of relief. This is England's dream theater. Compared with Turf Moor and Ewood Park, Old Trafford is big and luxurious enough.

"George." Ferguson grinned and called George's name.

"Coach Ferguson." Ferguson's influence in the Premier League is unparalleled.

"Young man, don't lose heart. You will succeed." Ferguson patted George on the shoulder with a strong Scottish accent. It was like an elder encouraging his juniors.

Ferguson may have good intentions, but George was bitter and dissatisfied. Or his grades were too low, and he was very dissatisfied with Ferguson's condescending words.

"Coach Ferguson, I will prove your words here." George smiled slightly.

"Hahaha——" Ferguson laughed when he heard George's words. "Interesting, interesting."

…………

With the referee's whistle, the tenth round of the Premier League officially began.

"Duff... Dennis failed to defend Duff, and the cross was made... Stam headed it out."

"Miku, get out of the gap... Shoot!"

"It's so unexpected, the game has only started for five minutes, and Blackburn has two shots."

"Blackburn is actually contrary to its usual behavior, pressing Manchester United at Old Trafford. This is something no one thought of before the game."

The commentator was quite surprised. With Blackburn's current state, they should consider defense first. But at the beginning of the game, Blackburn took the initiative and began to control the ball in the midfield, and then pressed Manchester United.

George's tactics for this game are to take the lead.

In any case, Manchester United must have underestimated Blackburn. Not to mention Manchester United, many strong teams in the Premier League now underestimate Blackburn. Being beaten 0-8 by Arsenal made Blackburn a laughing stock in the Premier League. Later, when playing against Leicester City, Leicester City broke through their defense. If they hadn't wasted too many opportunities, I don't know how many goals they would have lost.

Such performance will certainly make Manchester United despise them.

George wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to take the initiative. Although there was no goal, the effect was good. Manchester United players were indeed very surprised.

Completely different from what they had seen before, Blackburn players suddenly began to feel like playing football. Miku, who was criticized by many people, was able to pass the ball frequently in this game.

"Time passed quickly, and it was already 22 minutes. The score was still 0-0, but there was an interesting data. In this game, Blackburn's possession rate was 56, while Manchester United's was 44. The difference was 10 percentage points. Who would have thought that at Old Trafford, Blackburn's possession rate was higher than Manchester United's."

This was something no one had thought of before the game. Blackburn, who was weak this season, could have such a performance at Old Trafford.

In the 25th minute, Duff used his speed to open up an angle on the right. Then he crossed to the middle. This was Duff's third cross today, and Denis Irving was shaken off by Duff at an angle in these three times.

This made everyone sigh that time is unforgiving, and who is Denis Irving. He was a left-winger who had defended Manchester United for nearly ten years and was the best left-back in England in the past ten years. However, Dennis Irwin, who was already 33 years old, was still strong. However, he was left behind by Duff, who was only 19 years old, several times with his speed.

"Damien Duff! Duff, who was only 19 years old, was adjusted to the right by George this season. But he performed very well. He is a new star cultivated by Blackburn himself."

However, the effect of the three crosses was not very good. Although Klose had a good header, he could not always head the ball under the defense of Stam, the world defender. Even if he headed it, it was very awkward.

This time it was Stam who headed it out again. Keane in the middle got the ball and passed it directly to Beckham on the right.

Van Bronckhorst followed Beckham closely. George told Van Bronckhorst that Beckham must not be given any chance to cross. So Van Bronckhorst followed Beckham closely and did not let him get the ball comfortably.

In terms of the technique of getting out of the situation, Beckham is not top-notch. As a defensive tough guy who started out as a defensive midfielder, Van Bronckhorst is very experienced in defending Beckham. Gary Neville saw Beckham was blocked and wanted to go up to support him.

But as soon as Neville moved, Deco in the middle went up to defend Neville.

"Beckham, pass to the middle... Scholes, Deco couldn't get back to his position. ... Scholes, dribbled the ball to the middle... Makelele!"

Scholes dribbled the ball and broke through. Since Miku and Deco were not in the middle, the middle was empty. Scholes dribbled the ball straight into the middle, but failed to break through the middle. Makelele, who had been criticized before, came to Scholes accurately and left the ball in place with a light hook.

Scholes really despised Makelele and wanted to pass by Makelele directly. There was no Makelele in his eyes at all. Pride will always be punished.

After Makelele grabbed the ball, he remembered what George said. Therefore, he did not stop for a moment and passed it directly to Deco who was coming forward. Deco did not hesitate at all and passed it to Pires on the left.

"Deco... pass the ball, Pires got the ball. Manchester United's right is empty, Pires, he hesitated, Beckham has come up."

In the view of the commentator, Pires should have taken advantage of the gap before Neville returned to his position to insert the ball to the left. But Pires did not quickly insert the ball at the moment he got the ball.

However, as Beckham retreated to defend, Van Bronckhorst, who was defending Beckham, also followed to support Pires.

Pires pretended to break through along the left, but suddenly cut inside. Pires' move was unexpected by all Manchester United players. Since Pires came to the Premier League, he has not been able to quickly integrate into the Premier League game. Therefore, his impression of Pires is limited, and even Ferguson, as an opponent, is not very familiar with Pires' characteristics.

Not to mention Manchester United players such as Beckham and Neville. They only know that Pires is in poor condition and is one step slower. They have limited understanding of Pires' characteristics.

So Pires' sudden cut inside caught the Manchester United defense off guard.

"Pires... cut inside! Beckham was easily broken through by Pires... Pires, shoot!"

After Pires cut inside, he did not continue to break through or pass the ball near the penalty area, but suddenly pushed the ball. The shot was not powerful, but it was sudden.

Schmeichel's sight was blocked by the defender. More importantly, Pires, the French player who came to Blackburn for 5.5 million pounds, performed the worst among all the Blackburn players. None of them thought that Pires would have such a kick.

All the suddenness created this sudden goal.

"Schmeichel... This ball is a dead corner, a real dead corner."

"One to zero, one to zero. In the first nine games, Blackburn, who only scored three goals, actually led one to zero at Old Trafford."

"Pires, this French player who has always been ridiculed by many people. He actually scored his first Premier League goal at Old Trafford. A gentle push, straight to the dead corner. Even Schmeichel had no way. I believe that even any goalkeeper would have no way."

After seeing the goal, Pires was stunned. Then huge joy filled his body, and Pires couldn't help shouting on the spot.

During this period, Pires was also under great pressure. When criticizing Blackburn, Pires, who was introduced by Blackburn with a big sum of money, performed the worst. Although only a quarter of the league has passed, many media have been eager to put the biggest fake hat on Pires.

Pires even had a period of time when he deeply doubted whether it was right for him to come to England.

But George has always trusted him. Although his performance was poor, George has always given Pires the greatest trust. Not only did he help in training, but he also always put him in the main position.

Today, he actually scored a goal against Manchester United, and it was also at Old Trafford.

Van Bronckhorst, who was closest to Pires, came to Pires and hugged him tightly, while Klose and Miku in front ran over in an instant. They hugged Pires tightly.

Speaking of which, although this season has been played for two months, because Blackburn players come from all over the place. It is not very familiar, but the ridicule outside these days has made their relationship better.

These days Blackburn has been ridiculed by others, and today they scored a goal against Manchester United at Manchester United's home, which made everyone excited.

And when Pires scored a goal, George was also jumping and jumping on the court.

Even clenched his hands and kept shouting.

Carl was also very excited watching George who was almost crazy. He understood George's excitement. George was under too much pressure during this period.

Although this was just one goal, and there were more than 60 minutes left in the game. But this goal played a big role in boosting the morale of George and Blackburn players.

"Look at Coach Levy, he has forgotten that this is at Old Trafford."

George's somewhat crazy celebration made the Manchester United fans behind him very upset. Boo George, but George didn't care about them at this time.

However, after the ecstasy, George did not forget that he was still a coach. So when he got to the sidelines, he told the players to keep steady. Manchester United is not a cat or dog. Under the leadership of Ferguson, there is a team spirit that never admits defeat.

Manchester United cannot be careless at all, even if there are only a few minutes, even two minutes, or one minute left.

But Ferguson on the other side was sitting on a chair chewing Bubble Hall, crossing his legs, without any expression.
