Coaching legend

Pires, Kaka, and Arshavin are all talented players.

But in George's defense, even they have to harass the opponent. They and Klose are the first layer of defense.

Then when it comes to actual defense, Veron is responsible for Hargreaves. Then Alonso guards the center position. If we talk about the organizing midfielder in world football, the first thing that fans think of is Pirlo of Milan and Xavi of Barcelona.

Although Alonso is also the same organizing midfielder, he is completely different from Xavi and Pirlo.

Xavi and Pirlo's defense can be said to be almost zero. Their contribution in defense is very low, so they generally need a dedicated defensive midfielder to protect them. But Alonso is completely different.

If Alonso is regarded as a defensive midfielder and thrown in the midfield, Alonso can also perfectly complete the defensive task. Alonso's defensive ability is evident.

And Alonso has a good sense of position. In the midfield position, he can organize the attack on one side and sit in the middle on the other side to protect the back line.

Now George uses Alonso like this. Alonso will be the last line of midfield to protect the back. Hargreaves will entangle the opponent's important players in the midfield.

With Hargreaves' harassment, Veron is very upset.

So Veron can only pass the ball to the wing after getting the ball. Then let Grunchard on the right and Duff on the left find opportunities by themselves. This is a completely irresponsible way, after all, Veron is the core of the team.

It should be Veron who saw the opportunity and gave them the opportunity to pass.

Unfortunately, Veron can't pass this kind of ball under Hargreaves' entanglement.

Veron is frozen, and Chelsea's attack is intermittent.

Five minutes into the game, Chelsea has no way out. Duff and Grunchard are both relatively strong wing forwards, but unfortunately they can't challenge the whole team alone. They need the support of the midfield, but unfortunately there is no support in the midfield in this game.

So once they get the ball, they will face the prepared full-backs.

Veron is frozen, and at this time, Lampard, another midfielder, should play. Unfortunately, Lampard is not that kind of player.

Lampard has strong long-range shooting ability, short pass ability, and super running ability. However, he has never found a suitable formation to play with these characteristics. Redknapp and Ranieri are not good enough. It was not until Mourinho that Lampard's strength was truly brought into play.

Now Lampard can only pass the ball once he gets the ball. Because Lampard's dribbling ability is very average.

In the eleventh minute of the game, Lampard just got the ball and took two steps before being intercepted by Alonso in the middle.

"... Lampard, turn around... Alonso, steal!"

Lampard's dribbling is too average. Alonso stepped forward and stretched his foot, and then intercepted the ball. Alonso is the brain of the whole team. After training last season, he is getting more and more comfortable in the Premier League. So after getting the ball, before Lampard came back to his senses, he had already passed the ball.

"Alonso... pass, Kaka... Pires, two passes... Kaka got the ball again!"

Alonso's pass was directly passed to Kaka in front. Kaka did not control the ball, but directly passed it to Pires on the left. Then he turned around and ran past Veron. After Pires got the ball, he did not pass past anyone, but passed it again.

There was a beautiful pass between Pires and Kaka, completing a beautiful two-on-one.

Speaking of which, Veron's defensive ability is not weak at all. Unfortunately, he has not adapted to the fast pace of the Premier League for several seasons. He was shaken by Kaka and Pires. After leaving Veron behind, Kaka's speed increased.

Veron could never catch up.

After Kaka ran, Chelsea's defense line was completely exposed in front of Kaka. Blackburn's forward line was three arrows at the same time, Pires, Klose, and Arshavin were all arrows in the counterattack. But Kaka never passed the ball and continued to run forward.

Even so, Chelsea's defense line could only continue to retreat.

Kaka is now considered a famous Premier League player. Chelsea defenders, including Terry and Gallas, would be easily dribbled past by Kaka's speed if they came out to defend. So they all retreated slowly and cautiously.

But Kaka didn't care about them. When he was close to the penalty area, he shot directly.

"Kaka... shoot!"

"Abbiati... couldn't save it. The ball was too fast, one to zero! Blackburn leads Chelsea one to zero!"

Kaka saw the goal, raised his head and raised his index fingers to the sky.

And Klose and Pires next to him hugged Kaka.

"Kaka, who came to Blackburn two years ago, has made rapid progress and has now become one of the best attacking midfielders in the Premier League. Everyone knows that Kaka is very good at long-distance runs, but no team can fully defend Kaka. Why?"

"Because Kaka has strong long-range shooting ability, is also good at dribbling, and more importantly, is also good at passing. Putting these conditions together, it is very difficult for defenders to defend. Going forward to defend, they are afraid of Kaka passing. Retreating to keep their position, they are afraid of Kaka shooting!"

Motson has a high opinion of Kaka.

But it is true. After two seasons of training in Blackburn, Kaka is now not afraid of the strong confrontation in the Premier League. In the fast-paced and high-confrontation of the Premier League, he also plays his lightning speed.

With a one-to-zero lead, the game is easy to play.

George thinks so anyway. If Chelsea plays offense now, there are not many ways at all.

Ranieri believes in Veron, it is better to let Cambiasso play. Or don't let Veron control the midfield. Relying on the strong impact of Hasselbaink and Mutu, as well as the personal abilities of Duff and Gronkjaer on the wing, it is still possible to create threats to Blackburn.

Unfortunately, Ranieri is an Italian coach.

Ranieri is not a pure English coach, and the team's style of play cannot be as open and close as that of Premier League coaches.

Ranieri has always believed in Veron.

Believing in Veron not only makes Chelsea's two wingers unable to play, but also makes Lampard, who is his partner, quite awkward.

Because Veron is slow and his passing timing is incompatible with other players. So Lampard can only come to help Veron. Not only to help Veron pass the ball, but also to share his defense. Lampard is very tired even if he has good physical strength.

Chelsea's offense is not good.

Defense is also average. Terry and Gallas cooperated for the first time, so they could not be said to have a tacit understanding. Facing Klose, there were many loopholes in their cooperation.

In the 32nd minute of the first half, Blackburn scored again.

This time the attack was launched from the right.

Hargreaves directly intercepted the ball from Veron's feet in the middle, and then passed it to Arshavin on the right. Arshavin's speed was not slow, and Arshavin directly entered the penalty area from the right.

Facing the defense of Gallas and Bridge, Arshavin was like a little loach, slipping in from the middle.

Gallas and Bridge were helpless. After entering, Arshavin did not take credit at all. After making a fake shot, he passed the ball to the middle. Klose just lightly touched it, and the ball rolled into the goal.

Blackburn led Chelsea 2-0 away from home.

George smiled and nodded on the court.

George has coached many talented players. Including Kaka, Hargreaves, Essien, Ribery. Kaka and Hargreaves have been training for several seasons before they gradually became the main force of Blackburn.

Essien is still sitting on the bench drinking coffee. As for Ribery, it is good to get a chance to play now.

Only Arshavin does not need to adapt after coming to Blackburn.

George can see it.

Arshavin plays in the Russian league. Although the Russian league is a marginal league, it also emphasizes physical confrontation. Therefore, Arshavin is not afraid of the confrontation in the Premier League. And unlike Kaka, Hargreaves, Essien and others, Arshavin has already developed his own style in Russia.

Arshavin has already accumulated strength. It's just that there has been no stage to show it.

Therefore, among the geniuses coached by George, Arshavin is the only player who can integrate into the team so quickly after just coming to the team.

And Arshavin's performance is good.

George really feels sorry for Arshavin. In history, Arshavin was not known by the European football world until the 2007-08 season when Zenit won the UEFA Cup final. Especially the elimination of Bayern in the semi-finals surprised the European football world.

However, Arshavin really became famous when he eliminated the Netherlands in the 2008 European Cup.

At that time, Arshavin was the hottest star in European football. Unfortunately, Arshavin was already 27 years old at that time.

At the age of 27, he began to become famous in Europe. George really felt sorry for Arshavin.

Now Arshavin is only 22 years old, and George believes that Arshavin's future will definitely be different.

After the second goal, Chelsea was really in chaos. The main reason was that there were too many new players among Chelsea players, and the cooperation was not tacit at all. And the problems in the locker room were not stabilized. If it was in the future, with big guys like Terry and Lampard in charge, Chelsea would be the iron-blooded blue army.

Unfortunately, Terry and Lampard now do not have the prestige they later had.

So they simply couldn't hold their ground. And Ranieri, originally, was not that kind of iron-blooded coach. Facing so many newcomers, Ranieri had no other options. In just over a month, it was already remarkable that Ranieri could initially integrate the team.

But it was not so easy to completely integrate and control the locker room.

So after Chelsea fell behind 0-2, the game was in chaos. They could not find any rhythm at all.

Facing Blackburn, there was nothing they could do. In the 66th minute of the second half, Campbell scored the third goal with a corner kick.

"Three to zero, three to zero! Blackburn used this performance to tell Chelsea that you can't win the championship by spending a lot of money."

Mortensen himself did not like Chelsea's spending. Therefore, he was very happy that Blackburn defeated Chelsea. By the way, he laughed at Chelsea and told them that money can't buy the championship.

I have to go to dinner tonight. So the second update may be very late. Sorry.
