Coaching legend

Chapter 77 Derby Clash

When Klose scored, George celebrated wildly. The location happened to be not far from Hodgson. At that time, Hodgson was not even two meters away from George. Hodgson didn't look at George, but his face was livid.

The TV broadcast not only closely followed George's celebration, but also gave Hodgson a close-up shot. Looking at Hodgson's livid face, Mortensen and Alan Hansen couldn't stop laughing.

"Coach Hodgson, it's bad luck to meet George. There are really not many coaches with such a personality like George. But it is precisely because of George that it is more exciting, isn't it?" Mortensen laughed with tears in his eyes. All came out.

Alan Hansen couldn't stop laughing too. "Yeah, George is a very different kind of coach."

After Burnley equalized the score, morale was high. There was a heavy bombardment against Blackburn, but there wasn't much time in the first half. The first half of the game was over soon, and the referee blew the whistle to end the first half.

"The one-to-one score is actually not the real performance on the field. Burnley's performance in the entire first half was far better than Blackburn. Blackburn only got a goal due to Duff's personal ability. But Burnley's performance was far better than Blackburn's. The overall performance of Enley was completely better than that of Blackburn.”

"If you watch the first half of the game, you will not believe that this is a game between Premier League and League One clubs. Burnley's performance is completely Premier League level. I believe that Burnley's promotion this year will not be What is the problem."

At the end of the first half, Mortensen began to summarize the performance of the two teams in the first half.

"There are only two words for your performance in the first half, perfect. I am very satisfied with your performance in the first half. You did a great job." George did not hesitate to praise, because except for that goal, Burnley's performance today was perfect.

"We need to change our play in the second half. In the second half, I just want speed. Pass the ball fast and run more. Anyway, it's the same word. Fast, Michael, it depends on you."

"In the second half you have to keep passing the ball and let Blackburn follow Burnley's rhythm."

In the first half, they had almost played with them, and in the second half, George was going to start to use his trump card. "Blackburn just played in the Premier League three days ago, and the physical strength of their main players will definitely be a problem. They may have no problem in the first half, but in the second half... We are different. You all rested in the last round of games. . So you have to use speed to defeat them."

What George is most confident about in this game is that Blackburn is currently in the relegation zone of the Premier League, so it cannot give up any game in the league. Had it not been for Burnley in the fourth round of the League Cup, George believed Hodgson would have given up on this game.

Blackburn had just played against Newcastle three days ago, and all the main players on the field today had played in the league three days ago. George doesn't believe that Blackburn players are all steel warriors, especially since many of their players are very old.

"Miro, Frederic, Serra, the three of you have to keep running in the second half. Use your running not only to get out of the gap, but also to let their defenders run with you."

"So in the second half, there is only one word to focus on, which is fast."

…………

The second half of the game had just begun, and the pace suddenly became faster. Ballack in the midfield followed George's words and kept moving the ball. As Burnley kept passing the ball, Blackburn's players could only follow Burnley's rhythm.

Hodgson couldn't sit in the coaching bench at the beginning of the second half and walked nervously around the sidelines. Because Hodgson already knew George's thoughts, Blackburn players were obviously tired.

Hodgson certainly knew that his players had already had a fierce Premier League game three days ago. At this difficult time of relegation, Hodgson is unwilling to waste energy on the League Cup if possible.

But Hodgson has no choice, this is a derby. Whether it is Blackburn's senior management or Blackburn fans, they are all looking at themselves now. There is no room for error in this game, so Hodgson can only continue to use his main force.

This is the shortcoming of the sudden rise of the team. Blackburn's main force to win the championship is indeed very strong. But there is no corresponding substitute lineup, which makes Hodgson stretched in formation.

"Barack... passed the ball to the right, and Camoranesi got the ball. Camoranesi passed the defender and passed... Klose, Hendry defended. Klose headed, Hendry …”

"Oops, Hendry kicked Klose hard with his foot!"

In the 66th minute, Camoranesi got the ball and beat Blackburn's left back. Since Le Saux left Blackburn this summer, Blackburn's left-back strength has dropped significantly. Camoranesi passed him very easily and then crossed.

For this kind of cross ball, Klose's judgment is the most accurate. Klose jumped up to prepare for a header, and Hendry also rushed up. But after realizing that it was no longer enough, I started to step on it directly. Before Klose could reach the ball, Hendry kicked him down.

Daniel, who came forward with an assist, quickly came to Klose's side and looked at Klose first. Then he got very angry, stood up and pushed Hendry. Hendry didn't show any weakness and looked at Daniel with wide eyes.

Soon this confrontation turned into a large-scale conflict, and Mitchell even ran up from behind.

"Dududu——" The referee used his whistle to stop their conflict the moment it happened. Then he first signaled the team doctor to come in, and then gave Hendry a red card and a penalty kick.

The referee gave another yellow card to Daniel in the conflict, and also gave a yellow card to Blackburn's Slater.

George was very angry when he saw Hendry's actions. But this was not the time to pay attention to this, so he quickly stepped forward to see Klose's injury.

"How is Milo?" George asked the team doctor very nervously.

Fortunately, in the scene just now, Klose shook his head and attacked the goal, while Hendry came up diagonally. Otherwise, if there is a head-on collision, the consequences will be absolutely unimaginable. Damn it, George cursed Hendry in his heart.

You old man is such a big person. He should be banned for life for bullying a young man like Klose.

"It doesn't look very serious," the team doctor replied casually. "Miro, take a breath and see if there is any tightness in your chest."

Klose breathed a sigh of relief and then stood up. Jumped a few times and smiled at George. "Boss, I have nothing to do."

"You're really fine. If you feel uncomfortable, don't force it." Klose's status in George's mind is very high. George will not let Klose take risks just for a game.

"Head, look. There's nothing wrong." Klose twisted his body and assured George.

"Well done, Milo. You performed really well today."

As Klose jumped a few times on the sidelines, the Burnley fans gave Klose the loudest cheers.

Barak stood at twelve yards, looking at Flowers with an expressionless face. Only those eyes were firm and lively.

Ballack didn't take a running start, just took a deep breath in place. As soon as the referee's whistle blew, he swung his calf and the ball shot out like a cannonball.

Ballack's speed was so fast that Flowers didn't even have time to make a move. The ball had already entered the goal.
