Coaching legend

After Kevin Gallagher retired, George had to find a new forward.

Klose is very strong, and Drogba is also the focus of George's training. But Davor Suker is old and his physical fitness has declined a lot. Therefore, once Klose is injured, the situation like last season will appear. George is unwilling to do this, let alone renting players.

Therefore strengthening a forward is a must.

George's request is definitely not the kind of star in his prime. George wants either new star players or veterans. It is completely opposite to the requirements of Anelka's loan last season.

After George swept through all the forwards in British football, he locked two goals. One is Leeds United's Alan Smith, and the other is West Ham United's Jermaine Defoe. Both players are rising stars in English football.

Especially Alan Smith, this player has been famous for a long time.

Smith is very strong, and the most important thing is Alan Smith. He is an all-round player in the frontcourt. He can play as a second striker, attacking midfielder, wide midfielder, or even move back to the center to play as a defensive midfielder. Of course, George also favors such a good player.

George doesn't care about Smith in history. After arriving at Manchester United, he did not achieve high achievements.

Because now the history of world football has been messed up by George. Alan Smith is one of the few talented local forwards in British football. In George's opinion, his talent is definitely not much worse than Rooney later.

In addition, Leeds United's current economic situation is much more serious than in history.

Leeds United players have already begun to flee the club. Including Woodgate who left last season, Kewell who went to Liverpool this season, Robbie Keane who moved to Tottenham Hotspur, Ian Hart who moved to La Liga, and who moved to Middlesbrough Viduka.

It can be said that O'Reilly's "Young Guard" fell quickly before it could shine.

this is a good chance. That's why George took action against Alan Smith.

George is not stingy with transfer fees at all. The Leeds United club was already somewhat tempted, but Alan Smith did not agree. Expressing his intention to advance and retreat with the club, George scoffed at Smith's words.

If you, Smith, were truly loyal, you would never move to Manchester United in history. A big scar for Leeds United fans.

But since Smith now wanted to be a loyal minister, George didn't lick his face.

Therefore, the second goal is placed on Jermaine Defoe.

Defoe is a completely different type of forward than Klose and Drogba. Defoe's biggest characteristics are speed, explosive power and shooting skills. His start speed is extremely fast, and he can penetrate behind the defense line to make it difficult to guard against, which often leads to one-on-one shooting opportunities. In addition, Defoe has excellent awareness in the penalty area. Although he has no physical advantage, he can often appear in dangerous places by his sense of smell.

However, he is not tall and strong, and is not good at heading the ball, so he is not suitable for center forward.

However, such players can very effectively supplement Blackburn's front line.

West Ham United's performance is not good now. Rodel, a relegation expert, has become the current head coach of West Ham United. He has only coached two clubs so far. One is Watford and the other is Burnley.

When he coached Watford, he brought Watford from League One to League Two.

Coaching Burnley brought Burnley from the Premier League to the English League One. The two times he coached the club brought the club to relegation, which is also a skill.

However, Rodel obviously has quite good connections in English football.

He was actually noticed by West Ham United and replaced Redknapp as the head coach of West Ham United. West Ham United's results last season were not great, but they were not terrible either. But George knew that West Ham United was about to be relegated under Rodel.

This relegation expert is about to lead the team to be relegated for the third time.

George now bullies these teams.

Defoe does not have the loyalty of Smith. Negotiations with Blackburn went very smoothly, and George spent six million pounds to buy Jermaine Defoe.

George is very dissatisfied with the transfer value.

Because Defoe played thirty-five times in the Premier League last season and scored ten goals. There are many forwards who score ten goals in the Premier League in a season, and there are also many midfielders who score ten goals.

And Defoe is young, only nineteen years old now.

It has not been proven yet. If such a player were placed in other leagues, he would be worth three to four million pounds. But in England, Defoe is worth twice as much as usual. Six million pounds, George felt heartbroken when he gave it to him.

However, there are really not many forwards who meet George's requirements. So although George felt sorry for the money, he still took the photo.

With Defoe's transfer, Blackburn's transfer season is almost over.

There have been a lot of changes to Blackburn's lineup this summer.

Ferdinand leaves and Lucio arrives. Deco leaves and Alonso comes. McAllister retires and takes back Scott Pavin. Bellamy is gone and Ribery is here. Makelele leaves and takes back Michael Essien.

Finally, Kevin Gallagher retired and George bought Jermaine Defoe.

Six in and six out, the number of players remains the same. But it's obvious that even George doesn't think the team's strength has increased.

Lucio is strong, but he has to adapt to the Premier League. He needs to get used to the cooperation with Campbell, and George is still worried about defense.

Alonso will be the main defensive midfielder of Spain and Real Madrid in the future, and their midfield metronome. But now he is only a 20-year-old kid. It takes time to be a midfield metronome. He is completely different from Deco who left Blackburn.

In this position, Alonso is definitely not comparable to Deco.

As for Makelele's position, it is even more so. Essien and Parker are currently incomparable to Makelele. Makelele is a low-key superstar. He is not conspicuous in the position of defensive midfielder, but he is the most important link.

Essien and Parker are both young now. They cannot be compared with the experienced Makelele.

It can be said that after this summer, the average age of Blackburn has dropped a lot. The players George bought this season are all young players. Except for Lucio who is already 25 years old, all others are around 20 years old.

The Michael Essien that George brought back was only 19 years old, Ribery was 19 years old, Scott Parker was 21 years old, Xabi Alonso was 20 years old, and Jermaine Defoe was 19 years old.

This is a truly young team.

As the age has come down, the team's experience has also come down. The combination of Deco and Makelele's defensive midfielders is invincible in the Premier League and even counted in European football. But with the departure of the two of them, Blackburn's defensive midfielder strength has dropped a level.

But no matter what, George has completed a small-scale renewal. Of course, this is a passive renewal.

This summer, George made nearly 50 million euros in profit for the club.

50 million euros, this is not a small amount. In addition, Blackburn was the Premier League champion and the Champions League champion last season, so the profit was tens of millions. Last season, Blackburn's profit exceeded more than 35 million pounds. With the transfer in the summer, Blackburn's profit reached an astonishing 100 million euros.

This is a very astonishing number.

In addition to spending the money on the club to increase the player's salary and leaving some for the club's emergency, most of the money was taken by Paul. Of course, Paul did not put it into his own pocket, but started a series of preliminary preparations for the new stadium.

Find a design company to design the new stadium. This is not a small amount of money. The charging standards of these design companies are very high, and the unit is in tens of millions.

In addition, we need to discuss the relocation issue with local residents. All of these require huge funds.

Blackburn players have not had much running-in, and the team ushered in the first championship in English football, that is, the Community Shield.

Blackburn, as the Premier League champion, played against the FA Cup champion Arsenal.

Wenger did not do much this season. It's just that he accelerated the transformation of the back line. After buying Toure last year, Wenger bought two young defenders this season. One is Senderos, and the other is Philippe Mex, a rising central defender in Ligue 1.

Wenger is French. Once the team has a problem, it will always find the answer in France.

This time Wenger found Mex. Mex played in Ligue 1 at the age of 17 and became the main force of Auxerre at the age of 18. He is known as the "new Blanco" in France, which shows his strength.

It seems that Wenger is determined to transform the back line.

George used a defensive counterattack formation in this game. Especially in the midfield, it can be seen that George put Alonso, Hargreaves, Essien, and Pires and Kaka in front. The front is Klose.

Because George really has no confidence in the current midfield. Alonso is completely incomparable to Deco, and he is still too immature.

Essien and Hargreaves are not as good as Makelele.

However, it is not only George who is adjusting Blackburn, Wenger is also making various attempts in the back line. The Community Shield has become a stage for the two teams to try new players.

In the end, Blackburn defeated Arsenal 1-0 with the newly joined Lucio's shot. And George also won the Community Shield for the first time.

During the game, George couldn't help changing the formation of the game several times.

Because the midfield is too chaotic.

Alonso is not very familiar with the characteristics of Blackburn players. As a metronome, if you are not familiar with the team, you can't really become a midfield commander. But George didn't urge him, because Alonso needs time to get familiar with his teammates.

As for the defensive midfielder, George was very optimistic about Essien. Essien has been on loan for three seasons, and the 19-year-old Essien is already in great shape. Except for Drogba, no one else in the team can compare.

But after getting on the court, George found out. Hargreaves is more suitable for the current Blackburn than Essien.

Hargreaves is more familiar with the Premier League and the club.

Hargreaves is more competent in cooperation with Alonso. As the Premier League approaches, George has a clearer and clearer list of Blackburn's main lineup in his mind.

The third update will be later. Book fans who can't wait can read it tomorrow.
