Chapter 149 Difficult Premier League Career

The game was lost, and George didn't blame the players.Instead, the next day's holiday was canceled, and what Blackburn needs most now is time.

All the players didn't have much objection, after all, the game was indeed rubbish.With a bunch of skilled players and five midfielders, they couldn't control the ball.Because the midfielder couldn't control the ball, Duff on the right was also quite depressed when he played.

Duff is not a superman, as long as he has a ball, he can play a dragon.Although Duff is strong, he also needs the support of the midfielder.But the midfielder can't support, so Duff's performance in this game is also very few.

Not to mention the back line, they were under tremendous pressure throughout the game.Makelele didn't have the strength he had later when he was a defensive midfielder.The protection of the back line is not enough.

Blackburn is quietly training, but the media don't want to let George go.

Mark Lawrenson commented on the first round of the Premier League on Sky TV. When he talked about Blackburn, his tone immediately became a lot more intense.

"I don't understand. Where did George see that Makelele can be a defensive midfielder. If you want body but no body, you need speed and no speed. I only see him running without thinking throughout the game. Of course this can't be done. Blame Makelele, he was a good right-back and now George puts him in the midfielder."

"And look at Van Bronckhorst, such a good midfielder, but placed in the left-back position. When George was at Burnley, Burnley fans called George a magician. Does George really think he's a magician?"

"Of course there are Pires and Micoud, who George bought from France at a high price. They are completely unsuited to English football."

"It cost more than 2000 million pounds, and I don't even know what kind of team George built. George kept saying that the team's goal is definitely not to avoid relegation. But I have to say, whether Blackburn can avoid relegation is really hard to say. George really has to think about how to avoid relegation."

Mark Lawrenson was relentless in his criticism of George.

Although George's current grades are very bad, it doesn't mean that George has changed his temper now.Although he lost the game, George was still arrogant.

"I use Makelele as a midfielder because Makelele is competent. Mr. Laurenson has never been a coach, and of course he doesn't know how to position players. If Mr. Laurenson can also see why I let Makelele As a midfielder, why did Van Bronckhorst become a left back, then he would not be a football commentator but a coach long ago. If it is so easy to be a coach, why does FIFA issue a coaching qualification certificate? A cat and a dog can say a few words Become a coach."

George was even more unkind to Mark Lawrenson.It's almost pointing at the nose and calling Mark Laurenson a cat and a dog.

Of course, Mark Lawrenson would not be silent, and immediately wrote a rebuttal in the column of The Sun. "George really thinks he is a magician. I want to see how Makelele can develop in the midfielder position. I don't know if George's mouth will be so hard."

…………

Of course, although he was arguing with Mark Laurenson, George did not relax his training for the team at all.

After the first round, there is only one week.On August 22, Blackburn faced Nottingham Forest away.

In fact, speaking of Blackburn this year's schedule is not too bad, although the first two games are away.But the first scene was against West Ham United, although the results of West Ham United in the past two years are not bad.But West Ham United is not considered a strong Premier League team, and the second round is to face Nottingham Forest, which has just been promoted this season.

The first two games are not very strong opponents, if not for the current Blackburn is just formed.Both of these opponents are games where points can be earned.

George is quite familiar with Nottingham Forest. In the League One last season, Burnley and Nottingham Forest had several confrontations.George had a deep understanding of Nottingham Forest at the time.

Of course, that was for Nottingham Forest last season. Nottingham Forest has made a big change this season.That is, Nottingham Forest actually adopted a dual-leader system, that is, appointed two head coaches.One is Bassett, who led Nottingham Forest to the Premier League, and the other is Ron Atkinson.

George is deeply worthless to Bassett. Bassett led Nottingham Forest to upgrade, which can be said to have contributed a lot to Nottingham Forest.But Nottingham Forest's board has adopted a dual-leader system.

George has always sneered at the double-leader system, the double-leader system.Who listens to whom?

Nottingham Forest is a strong team in League One, but in the Premier League it is a soft persimmon.Among the odds of relegation this year, Nottingham Forest and Blackburn are the highest ranked.The second round was a veritable battle between the two relegation teams.

Nottingham Forest's offensive power is not strong, and it cannot be lower than that of West Ham United in the first round.

But George didn't underestimate him just because his opponent was weak.The current Blackburn is weaker than Nottingham Forest, at least they have cooperated with Nottingham Forest for many years.Therefore, George's requirements for midfielder Deco and Micoud are still the same as the previous game, to control the ball in the midfield.

Don't rush to attack and let Pires and Duff switch positions from time to time.Both of them are good players who can go left and right.

What George urgently needs now is Deco, Micoud and Pires. They quickly adapt to the rhythm of the Premier League.

But things don't come in a hurry, you can only take your time.In this game, Micoud and Pires performed much better.But this is also related to Nottingham Forest's weaker strength, but even if it is much better, it just doesn't concede as many goals as it did the first time.

Both Deco and Micoud are one of the important core players in George's midfield. Deco's position is a bit late, and he is the metronome that controls the rhythm of Blackburn's offense and defense.The regulation of Blackburn's game rhythm is mainly in charge of Deco.

And George's request for Micoud is the core of Blackburn's offense.In the offensive line, Miku can pass and shoot.As long as Miku can truly integrate into Blackburn and adapt to the rhythm of the Premier League, then his threat in front can be revealed.

And Pires is not only a wing assaulter on the left, but also a good assistant to Micoud.

The whole game was quite depressing, although Blackburn's midfield was much smoother than the previous game.But this is just a downball in the midfield. Once you want to move forward, there is still not much to do.

What surprised George the most was not Micoud. Micoud needed to adapt to the Premier League, which George had long thought about.George was surprised by Pires, Pires' adaptability was too poor.Pires, who can't see the future at Arsenal, has made mistakes again and again.

Pires' best is not speed, but technique and passing.However, Pires also has a lot of problems in these two areas. Pires has done very poorly in the timing of passing and one-on-one dribbling.

Duff is even more alone on the wing because he doesn't get the support of Deco and Micoud.

Klose is not a prolific shooter, without the support of the midfield and the wing, the current Klose really has no performance.

The game played a boring game, Nottingham Forest was not strong enough to break through Blackburn's defense.And Blackburn also had too many offensive problems and failed to break through the gate of Nottingham Forest.The final game ended with zero to zero.

George finally scored his first league point in his Premier League career.
