Coaching legend

On November 17, Blackburn waited for Liverpool at Ewood Park.

Although Houllier was hospitalized for heart disease, Liverpool's recent performance is really good. Starting from the tenth round of the Premier League, they first won Leicester City 4-1 away, and then beat Charlton 2-0 away. In the last round of the league, they defeated Manchester United 2-1.

The good state is obvious to all.

However, before the game, George sneered at Liverpool's good state. "Coach Houllier is a good coach. Liverpool has achieved good results under his leadership, but it's a pity that he is in the hospital now. This is the biggest blow to Liverpool. I think Liverpool's performance will collapse soon. Because their head coach is now in the hospital."

George's words made Liverpool very angry.

Liverpool's interim head coach Thompson refuted George in an interview. "Coach Houllier's admission to the hospital is indeed a loss for our club. But we will not collapse because of this matter. We are Liverpool."

George heard Thompson's rebuttal and replied with a sneer. "Coach Thompson, you don't really think that you are the head coach of Liverpool after winning two or three games. In this game, I will let Thompson know why he is an assistant coach, not a head coach."

George's last words were a slap in the face.

Many English football legends couldn't stand it. Although George had good results, this was a complete insult. Therefore, many media came out to accuse George. They believed that George, as a famous coach in English football, was not worthy of saying such things.

But George didn't care about that. He continued to mock Thompson.

Although George was a fan of major giants when he was a fan. Or in other words, he didn't even watch the games of small teams. He only watched the games of those giant teams, and every time he supported the strong teams to win.

But his coaching career started from a small team. Maybe the environment changes people, and George also has some dirt in his heart. Whenever he faces a giant, he wants to step on them and satisfy his vanity.

Before the European Super Cup, George had said, "Defeating those so-called great teams and legendary clubs is the greatest pleasure in my life." Although this is just a sentence before the game to refuse to admit defeat, the meaning is indeed George's inner thoughts.

Every time George faces the European giants, he not only verbally satirizes them, but also hopes to defeat them on the field. Every time he defeats such a strong team, George is very happy. Sometimes George himself thinks that he is a little perverted in his heart.

And Liverpool is the opponent that George always hits. Who makes Liverpool's historical record the best in England, and it is now the worst giant. So every time facing Liverpool, George can't help but say a few words to him.

Thompson also has a temper.

Although you are a famous coach in the English football world and have a good record. But you can't look down on yourself and mock yourself like this.

Therefore, it was seen at the beginning of the game. Liverpool actually played offensive football at Ewood Park. Seeing Liverpool's appearance, George laughed. Thompson, Thompson, you can only be an assistant coach.

You are still far from being a head coach.

George is afraid of Liverpool. But he is not afraid of other things, but Owen. Every time George plays against Liverpool, Owen gives George a headache. What makes George most dissatisfied is that Liverpool, as a strong team, plays defensive counterattacks.

Whether you say Houllier is conservative or lacks courage, Houllier's Liverpool is a defensive counterattack team.

In the Premier League, Liverpool is weak when they meet weak teams and strong when they meet strong teams, which has a lot to do with their playing style. When they meet weak teams, they can only adjust their tactics. You can't play defensive counterattacks with weak teams, so the game is often out of their control.

But once they play against strong teams, they are completely defensive counterattacks.

If it is a general defensive counterattack, Manchester United, Arsenal, and George will not have a headache. The most headache is that there are perverted players like Owen in Liverpool's defensive counterattack. Now Owen is a striker that any team has a headache.

He has speed, he has dribbles, he has shots.

As long as he is given a certain amount of space, Owen can create an absolute threat.

What George is most worried about is that if Thompson plays this kind of defensive counterattack at Ewood Park, George will have a hard time. If he attacks, he is afraid of Liverpool's counterattack. If he does not attack, it will be even worse. Blackburn is a team that relies on offense.

That's why George teased Thompson before the game.

Thompson has performed well in the past few games and can't stand George's sarcasm. And Thompson is really impatient and rushes and attacks hard.

George is not afraid of Liverpool's attack, George is afraid that he will not come out. Once he comes out, the game will be easy.

Especially Owen, who George is most afraid of, entered the penalty area because of Liverpool's fierce attack. A striker like Owen can only perform well when he has a certain amount of space. You, a speed striker, are basically useless if you enter the penalty area.

Once Liverpool comes out, Blackburn will have more ways to play.

Just nine minutes into the game, Miku made a 30-meter pass that completely tore through Liverpool's defense. Liverpool's defense pressed forward, and the distance from the goalkeeper was far enough. This distance was enough.

Klose was very fast and immediately left Hyypia behind.

When Klose got the ball, the two Liverpool central defenders were at least five meters away from Klose. At this time, it can be seen most directly that Klose is not only good at heading and shooting, but also very fast.

Although Klose's speed is not as fast as forwards like Henry and Owen, his strong explosive power and short-distance sprinting ability are still enough. Therefore, although Klose will not play long-distance raids like Henry and Owen, he is very threatening on the front line.

Westwed has already left the goal.

But it was too late. Klose accelerated against Westwed and got rid of the goalkeeper, and then easily scored into the empty goal.

"GOOOOOAL!!!!" Martin Taylor's magnetic voice sounded. "Klose, he scored his seventh Premier League goal this season. Liverpool is too careless. How can their defense line be so forward? Have they forgotten Klose's powerful explosiveness and speed?"

"Thompson seems to have fallen into George's trap. George ridiculed Thompson before the game for being just an assistant coach, which was obviously to make Thompson angry. Looking at this game, Thompson completely forgot Liverpool's biggest advantage. Playing against Blackburn, isn't it cutting off their own advantage?"

Martin Taylor directly criticized Thompson.

Martin Taylor couldn't keep his temper after being ridiculed by George, and shook his head in his heart. Thompson is indeed not the material to be a head coach. Now it seems that it is difficult to say what changes will happen to Liverpool's record after Houllier leaves his post. But it seems very difficult to get a good result.

Not long after Martin Taylor criticized Thompson, Liverpool's goal was once again attacked by Blackburn.

Duff on the right went straight into the penalty area from the right. Duff's passing is getting more and more concise now, and he doesn't have any extra movements at all. As long as the opponent's defender leaves a little space, he will use his speed to pass him.

And unlike Pires, once Duff passes the full-back, the next step is to only have the goalkeeper in mind. He will run directly to the goal.

Westwed has already blocked the near post, because Duff likes to go straight into the penalty area and shoot at a small angle. Unfortunately, Duff did not shoot this time, but passed the ball to the middle, and Miku, who came in from behind, pushed the ball lightly, and the ball rolled into the goal from the far post.

Westwed was only guarding against Duff, so he was completely helpless in the face of Miku's shot.

Haman came behind Miku and looked at Miku celebrating, and his face changed in an instant. Haman and Miku have played against each other many times, but every time they played, Haman would feel that Miku was getting stronger and stronger. Or it can be said that Miku is getting more and more experienced, and Miku is getting more and more cunning.

Miku used to play football in a standard way. Although he is strong, he did not make Haman feel powerless.

But now Miku plays football with fewer and fewer gorgeous moves. The various actions are simple, but very practical. And the running position is getting more and more erratic, just like just now, just next to Hamann. But suddenly he got rid of Hamann and accurately found Duff's passing route.

This kind of running, this erratic feeling, made Hamann very uncomfortable.

Seeing Miku's goal, George stood up and applauded his disciples.

2-0, now the first half has not passed half of the time. Liverpool was completely stunned by itself, or Thompson was stunned by itself.

Liverpool, Liverpool. This season is the season when Liverpool can achieve the most results, but it's a pity that Houllier's heart attack was not at the right time. Thompson is still lacking in heat and can't be compared with Houllier at all.

If Houllier is the current head coach of Liverpool, then George should be most worried about Liverpool this season.

But now...

Liverpool has always relied on a breath, and now it has been beaten down by George. I want to see what Liverpool will do next.

George looked at Thompson who was shouting on the sidelines and sneered. Then he made a gesture to the team to continue attacking. George wanted to use a big win to destroy Liverpool's recent form. Let Liverpool completely disappear from the current standings.

With five minutes left in the first half, Riise scored the third goal of the game with a long shot.

In the second half, Thompson wanted to attack, but his lineup was messed up. The substitutions were even more conventional, and George even guessed who he was going to replace.

In the 67th minute of the game, Bellamy, who came on as a substitute, scored the fourth goal of the game. 4-0, Blackburn dealt the biggest blow to Liverpool at home.
