Coaching legend

On October 23, Blackburn arrived at Stamford Bridge.

George is no stranger to this stadium. The entire European football world is no stranger to Stamford Bridge.

But Stamford Bridge is different now. Although the hardware facilities are still the same, they are really different for any club.

No team is willing to come to Stamford Bridge now.

Chelsea are too strong now.

Both sides were very low-key before the game. Because this round of competition is not just about Blackburn and Chelsea. There is also Arsenal's away game against Manchester United.

In the current Premier League, Arsenal is the one receiving the most attention.

Therefore, Manchester United's home game against Arsenal is the highlight of this round.

George now mainly focuses on the internal affairs of the team. Mourinho is now gaining momentum. Facing George and Blackburn, Mourinho wants revenge.

Mourinho was dissatisfied with the loss to George and Blackburn in the Champions League last season.

Because Porto lost to Blackburn, Mourinho did not think that he lost to George. If Porto were slightly stronger, Mourinho believes he would be able to defeat George. So Mourinho always held his breath in his heart.

This time I came to the Premier League and coached Chelsea.

He is very satisfied with the current Chelsea players.

He is now confident that he can compete with George.

Mourinho looked serious.

He was wearing a windbreaker and standing there coolly.

At this time, "Mourinho's Song" came from the North Stand of Stamford Bridge Stadium. Just at this time, George also came out.

George unconsciously looked at the North Stand of Stamford Bridge.

Although Stamford Bridge is not as famous as Anfield. But George has been in England for so many years, and of course he knows that the North Stand of Stamford Bridge is the stand for die-hard Chelsea fans.

George looked at the cool Mourinho in front of him again.

I have to admire Mourinho.

It has only been a long time since we arrived at Chelsea, and Chelsea's die-hard fans are already so supportive of Mourinho.

Amazing.

George shook his head and came to Mourinho's side.

George shakes hands with Mourinho.

"Coach Mourinho, it looks like you are doing a good job at Chelsea."

George had a smile on his face, but Mourinho didn't have any. "Coach Levy, you will soon find that I am doing a better job at Chelsea than you are at Blackburn."

George laughed.

"Okay, I'll wait."

After the two of them finished talking, they left.

"Alan, tell me, what are George and Mourinho talking about?"

Mortensen looked at the two most unique coaches in England and asked Alan Hansen next to him.

"I can guess." Alan Hansen spoke with certainty. "George must have warned Mourinho arrogantly about how difficult it is to get into the Premier League. If I say goodbye to him, he might be able to take care of one or two."

"Hahaha, Alan, you, you, you." Mortensen pointed at Alan Hansen and smiled. But then he looked very serious. "Mourinho's answer is definitely: If you beg for mercy, I might save your face and allow you to leave the Premier League with dignity."

Mortensen and Alan Hansen sat there and made fun of George and Mourinho.

Of course, it is also very fun for them to make fun of famous coaches like George and Mourinho.

"Okay, let's first introduce to you the starting lineups of both sides. Chelsea's starting goalkeeper is Abbiati, the defenders are Gallas, Terry, Carvalho, and Ferreira, and the midfielders are Robben, Lampard, Hargreaves, Makelele, Duff, Toni is the forward.”

"Look at Blackburn's starting lineup. The goalkeeper is veteran Edwin van der Sar, the defenders are Riise, Lucio, Lescott, and Sun Jihai. The midfielders are Pires, Kaká, Alonso, Essien, and Ribe. Here, the forward is Klose.”

Mortensen saw the players coming in and was already at work.

"John, did you find something interesting?"

"What?"

"John, take a good look at the starting lineups of both sides." Alan Hansen said with a smile: "Look at how many Chelsea players have played under George before. Gala, Hargreaves, Mark Lailai and Duff were all generals under George at that time.”

"Makelele and Duff were both the main players when Blackburn won the Premier League championship and the Champions League. Hargreaves was Blackburn's main player in the first two seasons, and Gallas has always been Blackburn's main player. Important substitute player.”

Mortensen nodded.

"That's true. Not only them, but Lampard also played under George."

"Huh? Why don't I know about this kind of thing?" Alan Hansen said doubtfully.

"That was a long time ago. It was when George was at Burnley, and Lampard played under George for half a season."

"So Chelsea and Blackburn have a long history."

While the two were talking, the referee had already blown the whistle for the game.

After the game started, everyone was surprised.

George and Mourinho are the most unique head coaches in English football. But both of them are the most utilitarian head coaches. The two of them are getting more and more boring as they play football now. Both are playing defensive counterattacks.

But after the game started, it was not like that.

George and Mourinho, the two did not have any trial, and they started to attack directly.

The rhythm of both sides was very fast.

"Duff, cross... Tony, head back... Lampard, shoot! It's over the crossbar."

"Kaka, he's very fast... long shot! Hit Terry's leg. It's a corner kick!"

"Robben... broke through Sun Jihai and shot! Hit the post, what a pity."

"Pires, cross... Klose, header! Abbiati saved it!"

Both sides were unreserved.

Chelsea and Blackburn both played wing attacks. However, the two sides played differently.

Chelsea's wingers are Robben and Duff, who play as wingers. Robben and Duff usually dribbled in, or shot themselves, or passed to Lampard who came in from behind.

As for Tony, he was more of a cover for Lampard, Robben and Duff.

Blackburn's wing attack was different.

Pires and Ribery are more likely to go outside. Then they cross the ball.

Chelsea is mainly attacking Sun Jihai's side. Sun Jihai is very tired facing Robben. It's because Robben's footsteps are too fast. Mourinho is eyeing the defensive strength of Maicon and Sun Jihai on the right side of Blackburn.

Blackburn is mainly attacking Ferreira's side.

Ferreira became famous in Porto. Last season, he was the best right back in the Champions League.

He is also Mourinho's direct line.

But after entering the Premier League this season, his performance is very unstable.

George handed Ferreira to Pires. George is very confident in Pires. With his experience and strength, there should be no problem with Ferreira.

But after the game started, George found out.

Pires is really a little old.

Although his skills are getting better and better and his passing is getting more and more mature, it's a pity that his explosiveness and passing are gradually declining.

Pires has a strong ability to get rid of in situ, but it's a pity that the previous raids on the wing are much less. If it is for other teams, the ability to get rid of the ball on the spot is also very important. In addition, Pires' passing is excellent, so there are not many problems.

But it is not good against Chelsea.

Chelsea's defense is quite unique. They flattened the formation so that once they arrived at Chelsea's half, they had to face the siege of the defenders at all times, and the passing line was seriously blocked. Especially Mourinho, who put the heavy troops in the middle.

Therefore, the only way is to open the side.

But Pires is not strong. It is not as lively as Ribery on the right. It's just that on Ribery's side, Gallas' defense is still very good.

Therefore, after playing for nearly 20 minutes, the situation began to favor Chelsea.

In the 27th minute of the game, Robben, who performed well, got the ball again.

As soon as Robben got the ball, Blackburn's defense line was very nervous.

Robben is really too good. One person can disrupt the opponent's defense.

And Robben's stop is very beautiful. When Sun Jihai went up to grab the ball, he just accelerated and easily passed by Sun Jihai. Sun Jihai was shocked. Actually, Sun Jihai had already blocked Robben. Unfortunately, he didn't expect Robben to bypass Sun Jihai and move so fast.

After Robben got the ball, he went straight into the penalty area.

Van der Sar's goal was very dangerous.

Lescott came to defend. Robben suddenly cut inside and shook Lescott. When Lescott was stunned, Robben did not continue to cut inside, but used his left foot to wipe inside and directly entered the penalty area.

After passing Sun Jihai and Lescott, Robben faced Van der Sar alone.

"Robben... This is a single knife, shoot!"

Robben's pace was very fast. Seeing Lucio next to him coming over, he flicked his left foot and shot the ball out.

Van der Sar tried his best to save the ball, but it was too close and too fast.

The ball rushed in from Van der Sar's side.

"Robben!"

"One to zero, one to zero. Chelsea is ahead of Blackburn."

"GOOOAL!!! Chelsea broke the deadlock. This goal is a reflection of Robben's personal strength."

"Blackburn has too many defensive problems. If George can't solve this problem as soon as possible, Blackburn will have more and more problems this season."

When Robben scored, Mourinho suddenly ran wildly and waved his fists.

One, two, three, four.

And the place of celebration was just in front of George.

George knew that Mourinho must have done this on purpose. And George also knew that the director must have locked on to him at this time. So George didn't even look at him, and looked at the field expressionlessly.

George would not give anyone any chance to make fun of him.
