Coaching legend

George needs to think carefully.

Sagnol is injured, Campbell is injured, and now it's Miku's turn to be injured.

These three people are all Blackburn's absolute core players.

George is obviously in a very bad mood these days.

In fact, Mark Laurentian is right. A few years ago, if Campbell was injured, George could have found a good defender to supplement the lineup in the winter. After all, although there are not many good defenders in European football now, they can still be done as long as they spend money.

Just like Samuel, who moved to Real Madrid this year, his performance in Real Madrid was shit to the extreme.

If Blackburn is willing to pay, it is really possible to win him in winter.

Of course this is just a metaphor.

In other words, there are still some good defenders in European football today. But it needs your money. But precisely, the team is no longer able to support George in the transfer market.

In the next few years, George will need to raise the transfer fee himself.

At present, Blackburn cannot rest assured except for Lucio, Lescott and McCeverley. Kompany, who is on loan, is a star in the Belgian league. But is it still too early to really gain a foothold at Blackburn?

It seems that this season, George can only use the combination of Lucio and Lescott.

What an unassuming center back combination.

If the central defender deals with this, what will happen if Miku is absent?

Miku?

What George is most concerned about is Miku's injury.

Speaking of which, Miku is important. But he is no longer an indispensable player at Blackburn. Especially with the growth of Alonso and the rise of Kaká, Miku's presence is certainly good, but even if he is not there, Blackburn will not have much problem.

Miku's injury absence is actually not as good as Campbell's absence.

Campbell's role for the current Blackburn side exceeds that of Miku.

But for Miku, George's feelings are the deepest.

Miku is already thirty-one years old this year and will soon be thirty-two.

Injury at this time will have a great impact on a veteran.

"Laurent, it seems this is forcing us to counterattack defensively."

George shook his head.

The combination of Lucio and Lescott was too uneasy for George. Now that I think about it, I can only carry out defensive counterattacks and use the midfield defense to reduce the pressure on the back line.

Blanco nodded.

"George, John is injured. Looks like we're going to be playing wide again."

George understood what Blanco meant.

Kaka's strong rise pushed Miku to the wing. Coupled with Duff's departure, Blackburn gave up the offensive play on the wing. Although he also plays on the wing, it is no longer the main role. George asked Miku to play right midfielder, but this right midfielder was empty, and Miku mainly played in the middle.

Blackburn's midfielder consists of Miku, Pires, and Kaká, so they play more in the middle.

Now that Miku is injured, Blackburn has to return to the wing.

It is obviously unrealistic to continue playing in the middle. Especially without an outstanding midfield player like Miku, there are too many problems just relying on Kaka to play in the middle.

"Well. Laurent, tell me, who is more suitable to play on the wing?"

Blackburn now have a lot of wing players, it can even be said that they are overflowing.

Pires, Hleb, Arshavin, Ribery, and Yang Feng, who was just mentioned by George to the first team this season.

Pires is definitely the main player here.

And several others have their own characteristics.

"Frank!"

George looked up and smiled. "Why?"

"George, you are asking questions knowingly. Robert is old, and his explosiveness and speed are no longer good. Of course, the other wing needs speed players. Yang Feng is too young to take on the main position. The others are not strong enough, and only Frank has the most development prospects. ”

Blanc attaches great importance to and likes Ribery, a fellow countryman.

Since Ribery was promoted to the first team, Blanc has been very attentive to Ribery. This time I also recommend Ribery.

George nodded.

George has clear ideas for the future of Blackburn. That is, after putting the two defensive midfielders, the three frontcourt players are all fast players. Use speed to defeat the enemy, among which Kaká and Franck Ribery are very important players.

Of course there is another person who is Yang Feng.

It's just that Yang Feng is too young.

Only Ribery is the most suitable now. Ribery is far more suitable than Hleb and Arshavin. Although Ribery still has problems of one kind or another, he has speed and skills and can still be used.

"Okay, Laurent. Let's practice this style of play starting from the next training session. Use two wings to tear apart the opponent's defense."

Because of Miku's injury, Blackburn's style of play changed.

Blackburn began to pay attention to the wing.

Pires is on the left and Ribery is on the right. The midfielder is a combination of Alonso and Essien. The two of them will be the last barrier to protect Blackburn's defense.

…………

Just as George thought, Campbell's injury has a far greater impact than Miku's injury.

Although Miku was injured, Blackburn's style of play lost a touch of delicacy. However, Blackburn's offensive strength has not been greatly affected. Blackburn's offense is still among the best in the Premier League.

Ribery, who has just become the main player, performed very well on the right.

Although he is still a little immature, he is already showing his speed and excellence.

But Campbell's injury caused a big problem for Blackburn's defense.

If it was some ordinary high balls, Lucio and Lescott would have no problem. Lescott was most afraid of those flexible and fast forwards. And he was even more afraid of opponents hitting him from behind. Facing Lescott, he would hit him from behind.

Lucio's personal strength was good.

But he had always been rushing and hitting hard, anyway, Campbell was there to clean up his mess. So he had no worries.

Now he is combined with Lescott. Lescott's position choice was not very good, and with a tough guy like Lucio, as long as the opponent hit him from behind, Lucio and Lescott would have no way to deal with it. Almost all Premier League teams knew their weaknesses.

In desperation, George could only try to compress the distance between the central defender and the goalkeeper as much as possible.

In this constant adjustment, Blackburn gradually adapted.

Soon it was two months.

It was October 23, the tenth round of the Premier League. Blackburn challenged Chelsea away.

Chelsea's recent performance was good.

After Mourinho took over Chelsea, the biggest change of Chelsea is stability. Very stable. Although it is the tenth round of the Premier League, Chelsea has only played eight games.

In the eight games, Mourinho's Chelsea played four one-nil games and one two-one. In the remaining three games, two were zero-nil, and one was lost to Manchester City, zero-one. Among them, two were consecutive one-nil wins over Manchester United and Liverpool.

You can see something from these scores.

Mourinho's Chelsea is stable, too stable.

The game made everyone feel depressed. Manchester United and Liverpool have learned a lesson.

Although Chelsea in the Ranieri period also played defensive counterattacks, they were not as strong as Mourinho.

It's just that Chelsea's results are not obvious now.

Because there is a stronger team in the Premier League now. That is Wenger's Arsenal. Arsenal's performance continued the excellent performance of last season, and so far there has been no defeat. It is the only undefeated team in the Premier League.

It is precisely because of Arsenal that Mourinho's performance at Chelsea is not very conspicuous.

But George knows.

Mourinho's Chelsea is a sharp mouth. As long as Arsenal is beaten, it will be futile for anyone to catch up with Chelsea. Because by then Chelsea will have left everyone behind.

But George is a little envious of Mourinho.

Mourinho's life in Porto was not very generous. But after arriving at Chelsea, Mourinho has learned what it means to be extravagant.

Robben, Kezman, Ferreira, Carvalho, Thiago, Cech and other strong players have arrived.

Of course, Mourinho has another transfer.

After failing to acquire Drogba, Mourinho set his sights on Italy.

Luca Toni, who had just scored 30 goals in the Italian Serie B, came into Mourinho's sight. Mourinho brought Mourinho from Palermo to England at a price of 12 million pounds.

It's really a loss.

In history, Toni scored 20 goals in Serie A one year later and transferred to Fiorentina for only 10 million euros.

The pound is still very valuable now. 12 million pounds is more than 17 million euros. But Abramovich doesn't care at all. There are many transfers of 30 million pounds and 20 million pounds. Just over 10 million pounds can be thrown away casually.

When Toni just transferred, many people in the British media laughed at Chelsea.

Chelsea has so many good forwards. Crespo, Hasselbaink, Gudjohnsen, and Kezman, who just bought, are more famous than Toni.

But Mourinho likes Toni.

Now Toni is Chelsea's main striker. And he has scored a lot of goals. In eight games, he scored three goals.

What is too little?

Chelsea scored a total of six goals in eight games. Toni scored three goals alone, how could it be not much?

Mourinho's defense was excellent when he was in Porto, and now his defense is even better at Chelsea. Mourinho put Makelele, Hargreaves and Lampard in the midfield, of course, Cambiasso played sometimes.

What kind of midfield was that in Porto before, and what kind of midfield is it in Chelsea now.

Coupled with Mourinho's defensive tactics, Chelsea's defense is really hard to break. Chelsea's midfielders are all world-class defensive players.

After Mourinho's training, their strength has become stronger. Even strong teams like Manchester United and Liverpool have not been able to get a few chances to shoot when they met Chelsea. You can imagine their defensive ability.

Are we going to play Chelsea?

Thinking of Mourinho, George is envious. It's fucking good to be rich!

Sorry, sorry, it can only be one update. It rained heavily here today, and the power was cut off from the early morning. The power came back at night.

I promise to make up for it all tomorrow.
