Coaching legend

"No wonder George likes Klose so much. When he was at Burnley, he used Klose despite rumors. When he came to Blackburn, he didn't bring anyone but Klose."

Indeed, George's love for Klose has reached a point that many people can't stand. But George likes Klose, but his performance is also good, so others can't do anything.

"In fact, if you analyze George's team carefully, you can find that Klose's role is still quite large. Klose controls the first point, and then creates space for Pires and Duff on the wing, and also gives Miku and Deco the chance to shoot. Klose does a very good job in this regard." Alan Hansen did not look down on Klose like others. On the contrary, he admired him more.

"Klose's biggest problem now is that his goal rate is too low. Since he started playing for Burnley, Klose has played more than 100 games. But Klose has only scored 26 goals, which is really unacceptable."

Motson's words were very tactful, which was very respectful to George compared to some media. In fact, many media reporters laughed at Klose's goal rate. One reporter even invented a term called "defensive forward", which is a nickname for Klose.

Blackburn's second goal was scored by Pires who performed well. This was a typical Blackburn-style goal. Klose retreated and Coventry's defenders also moved forward. Although it was only a little bit forward, it gave enough space to the two wingers.

After Klose retreated and got the ball, he gently pushed with his left foot, and it was a very simple two-on-two with Pires on the left.

Pires took the ball and rushed directly into Coventry's small penalty area. Facing the defensive defender, he faked a shot and passed the goalkeeper and defender, then pushed the ball with his right foot to score the second goal.

Thirty minutes into the first half, Blackburn easily led Coventry 2-0.

After Pires scored, he came to Klose and gave him a bear hug. Although there are many criticisms of Klose outside, Pires likes Klose very much. Klose is very low-key and is the most hardworking in training in Blackburn.

Of course, more importantly, Pires knows that he scored more than ten goals as a winger last season, which was completely at the expense of Klose in front. Klose's retreat is the biggest benefit to Pires and Duff. It gives them enough sprint space to make them perform better.

Therefore, Pires likes this low-key Klose very much.

Seeing Pires score, the Coventry home fans booed. But I don't know if they are booing their own team or Blackburn.

After leading by two goals, Blackburn did not pursue the victory. Of course, this was definitely not an order from George, but a decision made by Deco who controlled the rhythm of the game on the field. George is not the kind of coach who allows a talented player to play at will. George prefers the iron discipline of the German team.

In his previous life, when George was studying in China, he knew one thing. That is, iron discipline can build a strong army. In fact, there is no difference between a team and an army, and the head coach is the general. If you want to achieve a good result, iron discipline is a must.

Therefore, George is a coach who emphasizes team discipline very much. Therefore, George's team may not be able to play a truly genius-style football. But the results will be very stable.

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 do not violate George's overall tactics, George encourages some personal performance within the tactics.

Therefore, since George gave Deco the right to control the rhythm of the game, he will completely trust him.

After Deco scored two goals in the first thirty minutes, he consciously slowed down the pace of the game. Coventry wanted to be fast, because only by being fast can there be gaps. Only by being fast can they have a chance to win in chaos and let their forwards find opportunities.

After the game slowed down, Coventry could not get the ball. Robbie Keane ran blindly in front, but was very depressed because he could not get the ball. Looking at George who was sitting on the court with his legs crossed and leisurely, he felt very uncomfortable. He was also wondering why George took Klose away instead of himself.

"Deco is really becoming more and more like a general. Look at him after leading by two goals. He started to control the rhythm. He can be slow or fast. Deco's performance is really outstanding. If this season has passed, I think George will not sell Deco even if he is 10 million pounds." Mortensen praised Deco's performance.

"Yes, Blackburn is more mature this season. Look at the rhythm of the game, the speed is appropriate. The whole game was under Blackburn's control."

The commentator praised them, and George praised them in the locker room. Everyone praised him by name, and the new Ferdinand was praised constantly. In fact, Ferdinand hardly performed well in this game.

Coventry's original idea was to use Robbie Keane's personal ability to open up the situation in front. Unfortunately, after a season of training, Makelele became more and more adapted to the position of defensive midfielder. Makelele is a player who plays with his brain and uses his defensive awareness to make up for his physical and speed disadvantages.

Therefore, it was not easy to walk on the ground, so he started to walk in the air. Unfortunately, Hyypiä was the king of the air, and Robbie Keane could never beat Hyypiä.

So Ferdinand didn't have much chance to perform. But George didn't care about that and still praised Ferdinand's performance. This made Ferdinand smile crookedly. He thought to himself that George, this coach, was not as difficult to get along with as reported by the media.

In the second half, Coventry increased their fighting. There are no cowards in the Premier League, even when facing a strong opponent.

They suddenly increased their attack speed, and the ball kept flying in the air. Once Blackburn wanted to control the ball, they would grab the ball like crazy. This put a lot of pressure on Deco and Miku in the midfield.

"Does George want to make a change?" Evan asked George gently.

"What do you think?" George smiled. "Coventry really thinks they are superman. How much energy can they squander in this kind of life-threatening full-court pressing? Don't worry, Anderson knows it."

After being flustered by Coventry's pressing for a few minutes, Blackburn's midfield slowly adapted to this kind of pressing.

Coventry wanted to speed up the pace, and Blackburn also responded tit for tat. Deco, Micoud, Pires, and Klose also sped up the pace, but not the crazy ball grabbing like Coventry. Instead, they passed the ball. Blackburn accelerated the speed of passing the ball.

Before, Deco controlled the rhythm of the game by slowing it down.

But now the passing between the Blackburn midfielders has begun to increase. Constantly passing the ball, and all passing with one foot, plus they kept crossing positions.

George looked at the changes in the midfield and couldn't help laughing. Deco is really too smart. Even if you grab the ball fiercely, is your speed as fast as the speed of the football?

Coventry's idea is to win in chaos and want to make the rhythm of the game completely chaotic. Unfortunately, they only made Blackburn's midfield chaotic for a while, and the back line was not chaotic at all. But after Coventry's speed increased, their own defense line was chaotic first.

"...Miku...a beautiful pass...Duff completely broke through the direction of Coventry, Duff did not take credit...Miku! A very classic cooperation, Miku has already made one pass and one shot in this game. 3-0, the game is officially over."

"Suker...shoot! What a pity, if it went in, it would be a very beautiful goal. Just now Suker used his famous skill, a beautiful left-foot dribbling pass..."

"Bellamy...this is a complete dragon, but it's a pity that the shot didn't go in."

"If the goalkeeper hadn't played well, Coventry would have been beaten into a sieve in this game."

Coventry suddenly accelerated the pace in the second half, which did make Blackburn's midfield panic for a while. But in less than fifteen minutes, their full-court pressing was beaten to pieces by Blackburn.

Strachan shook his head helplessly on the sidelines. Then he turned his head and looked at George who was sitting there leisurely. The strength of the two teams was too different. When they met last season, Coventry still had some opportunities. Coventry has invested more than 10 million pounds this season, but the gap is becoming more and more obvious.

In fact, the investment of the two teams this season is not much different. George seems to have invested a lot, but in fact he just bought substitutes with the money from selling substitutes. The biggest change between the two sides is that Coventry has Robbie Keane and Gary Breen, while Blackburn has Ferdinand.

But Strachan found out in this game that there was no chance at all.

George was chatting and laughing with Evan and Carl next to him. This game was won too easily.

"When Blackburn finished fourth in the league last year, many people thought Blackburn was just a dark horse. But I want to say that Blackburn is already a strong team, a strong team that can challenge the traditional order. They are now challenging champions like Manchester United and Arsenal."

"Look at this game, Blackburn completely controlled the game from start to finish. They didn't give Coventry any chance... Look at George chatting and laughing on the sidelines. I believe George will not be satisfied with last season's results, and Ferguson and Wenger will definitely pay attention to Blackburn's performance."

Motson praised Blackburn's current performance, and the referee's whistle also sounded in Mortensen's praise.

The 3-0 away victory over Coventry was a good start for this season. George was very happy, clapping his hands and standing up to greet his players.

"Well done, Anderson. You can enter the national team with this performance." George patted Deco on the shoulder. With such a good performance, it's no problem to enter the Brazilian team.

"Thank you, boss."
