Coaching legend

"George, I see you are in a good mood."

Arsene Wenger has actually given up on winning the Premier League title this season. Because Blackburn's advantage is too great.

Ten points, even if Arsenal wins this game there are still seven points. The difference is three games.

Who has the most stable team in the Premier League? Except for Ferguson's Manchester United, of course I'm not talking about Manchester United this season. But Manchester United after the establishment of the Premier League. Apart from Manchester United, it is George's Blackburn Rovers.

George's Blackburn has one of the biggest characteristics. That is, after the start of the season, the performance has been very stable.

George started grabbing points at the beginning of the season. Before others have entered the state, Blackburn has established its own advantage in the Premier League. And although there is the experience of being chased by others at the end of the season, there is no experience of being overtaken by others.

The situation looked difficult, but there was no collapse.

There are eleven games left, and seven points is really not that easy to chase.

But there was some semi-abandonment in his heart, but Wenger couldn't put it in front of him. Because once it shows up, won't it frustrate your team?

George shrugged.

"Of course, my recent results have been good and my mood is certainly good. But Arsenal, you really shouldn't waste your energy on the league. If I were you, I would consider how to emerge from the Champions League group stage. This is more practical."

Wenger heard George's words and did not answer. He just smiled and returned to his seat.

Wenger felt bitter.

Entered the death group of the Champions League group stage for two consecutive seasons.

And this time the Champions League group stage is a real group of death. A more disturbing group of death than last season. Think about three opponents, Juventus, Deportivo, Dortmund. What kind of luxury lineup is this.

Even if these four teams are all in the quarterfinals of the Champions League, there will be no problem at all. But now we are in a group.

And the current standings of this group are interesting.

The first game was between Deportivo and Juventus, while the second game was between Dortmund and Arsenal. In the third game, it was a tie again. After three games, now the four teams in their group have the same points.

All four teams scored four points.

Really interesting points. It also fits the name of the group of death.

George did not sit on it. Instead, he stood directly on the sidelines.

Wenger glanced at George. Wenger first heard of George five years ago. At that time, Wenger had just arrived at Arsenal. It was because George criticized football violence after the game that Wenger knew the name George.

At the time, George was still the head coach of a League One club.

In just a few years, George is already a famous England coach. It also broke the monopoly of Manchester United and Arsenal on the Premier League.

Wenger shook his head.

The future life is terrible!

…………

As the referee's whistle sounded, the main event related to this season's Premier League championship began.

George is the main force on Blackburn's side.

The striker is Anelka who is on loan. Since the loan, Anelka has played six games. Scored four goals and is in excellent form. And Anelka himself is also looking forward to this game.

Speaking of Anelka, we have to talk about Wenger.

Wenger is the most vicious head coach in world football. His accurate vision and ability to train young players are definitely the best in world football.

Wenger has too many proud touches.

One person who must be mentioned among them is Anelka. At the age of seventeen, half a million pounds. When he was 19 years old, he was the best rookie in the Premier League and moved to Real Madrid for 23 million pounds. It's simply a fairy tale. Although the ending of the protagonist Anelka in the story is not very good.

When Anelka left Arsenal, Anelka's mentor Wenger said heartbrokenly: "You only need to eat three meals a day and sleep on a bed - why do you need so much money?"

Arsenal fans liken Anelka to a bastard who only cares about money.

Anelka is a slut.

Although he rarely fights back, he keeps this account in mind. I really want revenge.

George also liked Anelka's reaction. Only when there is anger will there be motivation. And Arsenal is just as bad as everything is good. That is Arsenal's defense, especially their central defender, which is very problematic.

In history, Wenger brought in Campbell for free, so the defense was okay.

But this time George was ahead of the game. Wenger also has no big-money signings at centre-back. Only Toure, such a young player, was introduced. He has yet to secure a stable position at Arsenal.

Therefore, Arsenal's veterans Adams and Keown, at the age of thirty-six, still have to guard the rear for Arsenal.

But don't underestimate these two old guys.

They are old and lack explosive power and speed. Wenger also knew this very well, so he asked the two of them to guard near the penalty area. It will never be pressed forward. Once these two old guys don't press, it will be quite disadvantageous for the forward.

Because although the physical quality of the two people has declined, their experience is great.

At this time, players with abnormal bodies like Drogba are better. Anelka is very depressed, because if the two of them don't come out, it will be really difficult to play. Because the two of them are in a very stable position, no matter what Anelka does, they will firmly defend their positions and prevent Anelka from entering the penalty area and facing the goalkeeper.

Moreover, after a season of training, Arsenal's left back Ashley Cole has become more and more like a general. Duff, a famous Premier League player, is increasingly difficult to break through Ashley Cole.

In this way, Arsenal has the advantage on the field.

Parlour closely follows Miku. Parlour is a strong player, that's all. But if you say he is not strong, he is like a dog-skin plaster that can make you very uncomfortable.

Parlour has good physical strength and better running ability. He can play as a right winger, but in this game he played as a defensive midfielder, just to defend Miku.

Then there is Vieira, who controls the rhythm of Arsenal's game. Ljungberg on the right and Dalma on the left are both good at both breaking through and passing. Dalma, a genius who fell quickly in history, has shown amazing brilliance in Wenger's hands.

Together with Henry, he has grown into the best striker in the Premier League.

Gunner, different from when he just came to the Premier League two years ago. Henry's name is now a big name in the Premier League. And Henry is also qualified to get this reputation.

On the field, Arsenal, who are playing away, have the advantage.

George looked at Anelka in front of him. Anelka is very strong, but there is a big problem when he is a single striker. Especially when facing defenders like Adams and Keown, the speed advantage cannot be brought into play. In addition, Anelka is a striker with good footwork, but he has no ability for high-altitude balls. If it were Klose, George could completely carry out high-altitude bombing and blow you two old men to death.

Looking at Henry, Bergkamp and others who are becoming more and more active, George asked the team to retreat.

In fact, Arsenal also has this problem. High-altitude balls are almost useless for Arsenal. Henry, a 1.88-meter-tall man, can't head the ball. So George is going to shrink the defense. George wouldn't do that before.

But as Deco's offense and defense become more and more comprehensive, George is not afraid of shrinking the defense.

Blackburn's shrinking defense makes Arsenal's two central defenders difficult. Arsenal's offense moves forward, and the two central defenders have to keep up, otherwise they will be out of touch. But once they catch up, Anelka's speed is still daunting.

So the two are very cautious. Although cautious, because of the forward movement of the entire offense, they can only move forward a little. Although it's only a few steps, it's five or six meters forward than before.

They don't know that just a few meters is enough for a speed striker.

In the 17th minute of the game, Ljungberg's shot was saved by Van der Sar.

Van der Sar threw the ball to Pires on the left, because the overall formation shrank back, Pires also moved back a lot.

"... Pires, pass it to Miku..."

George attaches great importance to counterattacks during the transition between offense and defense. Because one third of a team's goals are scored in counterattacks. George's requirements for counterattacks are simple, one word fast. Fast passing and fast running.

Therefore, Pires passed the ball to Miku in the middle the moment he received the ball.

Miku is even more so. As an offensive midfielder, Miku knows the situation on the field very well. As soon as he received the ball, Miku knew what to do. He passed it to Anelka in front of him.

"... Miku... Anelka got the ball."

Anelka faced Adams and Keown again. However, unlike before, Adams and Keown were slightly forward this time. This little distance was enough for Anelka.

Anelka ran fast and passed Keown directly.

Before, because the distance between Adams and Keown and the goalkeeper was too short, Anelka did not have the opportunity to use his speed advantage. Now with only a few meters of distance, Anelka made full use of it.

Anelka was really fast and passed Keown in one go. But Keown was no pushover. Although he was a step slower, his reaction was still very fast. Especially his partner Adams, who immediately ran in a straight line to block Anelka's route into the penalty area.

And Keown immediately went to Adams' position to defend.

This cross defense reflects the experience and tacit understanding of Adams and Keown.

When Anelka ran, Adams tried to squeeze Anelka out of the outside line while running.

At this time, Anelka used his left heel to lead the ball to the middle, and the man suddenly turned around at high speed. Anelka turned around, but Adams failed to brake in time. This time Anelka immediately passed Adams.

The shooting angle also came out.

Seeing this, Keown made a shovel forward to stop Anelka from shooting. However, Anelka did not look at him, but shot directly when he passed Adams.
