Chapter 216 You Are Not Zidane's Substitute

"Head, John is not in a good mood." After making Sagnol the captain, the kid was very happy and excited.

Sagnol looks like a thorn, but his head is very smart.He knew that his prestige in the locker room was not enough.To be the captain of a team, it is best to have these few situations.

Just like the captain of some teams is the oldest person in the team, just like Kevin Gallagher's second captain is because he is currently the oldest in Blackburn.Although George was quickly reduced to the position of a substitute after he took over, it was precisely because he had the oldest seniority that he became the second captain.

In fact, this is another way of saying that many players are either the club's own players, or they came to the club at a very young age.Only in this way can they qualify as captains.

Another situation is that the locker room has enough prestige and is a meritorious player of the club.This is the case with Hendry, as a member of Blackburn's Premier League champions.He was also Blackburn's main central defender back then, and his influence in Blackburn was great.This is true whether it is among the fans, among the clubs, or even among the old players of the year.So no one can object to him being the captain.

The last situation is that this person is the biggest player on the entire team.Just like Alan Shearer, when he arrived at Newcastle, there were many players older than him.But he became the captain of Newcastle.

Of course, there is another situation where this player is very popular with the head coach.

And now Sagnol has nothing to do with it.Speaking of qualifications, Hendry, Kevin Gallagher, and Henning Berg are veterans of the club.Even if these people are all substitutes, Duff, who is among the main players, is a young player, but he is an out-and-out youth player.

In terms of prestige, Sagnol's age, and he is not a strongman, so there is no prestige at all.Of course, the biggest card is not Sagnol.

The head coach's love has nothing to do with Sagnol.George's favorite is obviously Klose, this is something everyone knows.Moreover, Micoud and Pires are more popular with George than Sagnol.

So Sagnol is very self-aware.

I know that I have a lot of disadvantages compared to other captains.So he never dictates in the locker room, but is like a lubricant.All the players love Sagnol and support his work.

Sagnol knew when to say something and to whom to say it.

"I see."

In fact, George discovered it when he started training today.Miku was in a trance, and made some inexplicable mistakes during training.

George shook his head and understood immediately.Miku is too thoughtful, not the kind of outgoing personality.Miku was replaced in the first half of the last game, which may have made Micoud a little bit overwhelmed.

Makelele was also replaced in the first half last season, and even became a substitute in subsequent games.But Makelele has no such problem, although he is not an extrovert.But it is tenacious and able to figure it out for itself.

But it appears that Miku is not that type.

After the training, George analyzed some problems in the training to them, and then disbanded.

When disbanding, George stopped Miku. "John, come with me."

Miku froze for a moment.Since Miku came to Blackburn, George has attached great importance to Miku.Moreover, when the media criticized Miku, he stood up and supported Miku without hesitation.But they rarely chat with Miku alone, let alone in the office.

In the past, most of them were on the training ground, grabbing Miku and talking to him about something.

"Is the head dissatisfied with John's performance today?" Pires looked at Micoud's back and asked Sagnol next to him in French.

Sagnol shook his head. "I think it should be to explain the substitution the day before yesterday?" It is indeed not a common thing to change players in the first half.In particular, Miku is still the core of Blackburn, and George, as a coach, should give him an explanation.

"John, sit down." George smiled and pointed to the chair in front of him.

"Is it because you were replaced in the last game, and I feel a little resentful."

Hearing George's words, Miku blushed and shook his head repeatedly. "No, head. Really not. I just don't feel like I'm helping the team."

Miku has never complained about George, and Miku is very grateful to George in his heart.When it was very difficult last season, it was George's encouragement and support that allowed Micoud to survive.

"Don't be like this, sit down." Miku is not young anymore, and his career has been going on for many years.But when it comes to interpersonal communication, there are many problems.

"John, I hope you don't misunderstand what I'm going to say." George asked Miku to sit down. "In my eyes, you are as good and as good as Zidane. But you were born at the wrong time, Zidane became famous earlier than you. And the two headers in the World Cup final in France completely established Zidane His place in the national team."

"John, no matter how you perform in the future, you will never be able to compete with Zidane in the national team. Unless Zidane is injured, but as long as he recovers, he will immediately get the main position of the national team. A World Cup final can be said to be completely blocked. All the French midfielders at this stage have died on their way to the top of the national team."

When George said this, he looked at Miku.Sure enough, Miku's face became more and more livid, and Miku himself knew this.The two headers in the final directly established France's position as the World Cup champion.

And in the local World Cup, he won the first World Cup championship for the French team.

This championship allowed Zidane to leave his most glorious footprint in the history of French football.With this championship, Zidane began to be compared with the legendary French superstar Michel Platini.Who can replace such Zidane?

Now that Zidane is in full swing, which French coach dares to abolish Zidane and let others take over.

After Jacques, which coach of the French national team has such courage?Absolutely not.

Micoud knows that his national team career will always be accompanied by Zidane's shadow.It's just that I've always been reluctant to think this way before, and when I think of this problem, I always avoid it.But today, George directly said it out.

It was only then that Miku realized that his previous evasion was useless, it was just deceiving himself and others.

"John, this is not your fault. It can only be said that your luck is bad. But are you willing to have such a result?"

Miku sat there, gritted his teeth. "No, head."

"Yes, why do we accept our fate. Your strength is no worse than Zidane, but you have to know that you will never be able to prove your strength in the national team. But you still have a chance to compete with Zidane. That is the club As a result, we will have a chance to meet Zidane's team when we play in Europe after Blackburn."

"It's time to tell everyone that you are not Zidane's substitute. You are the best midfielder in France at the same time as Zidane. Since you can't prove yourself in the national team, then prove your strength in the club's results .You failed to beat Zidane in the national team, not because of strength, but luck."

"John, do you want to be a loser? Do you want to be called Zidane's backup?"

George's tone has always been very calm, but when he finally asked Miku, his tone was aggravated.

Miku raised his head and shook his head with a serious expression.

"No, head. I'm not Zidane's substitute, I'm just as good as him." Micoud replied firmly to George.

Looking at Miku with a firm face, George smiled.Micoud's strength is indeed not weaker than Zidane, but there is one thing that Micoud is much behind than Zidane.It is self-confidence.

Later, after the development of the Internet, there were many black players.There are also many people who question Zidane. They think that Zidane is not as powerful as the media boasted.There is also a lot of data listed, but even they can't deny one point.That is, the more important the game is, the better Zidane's performance will be.

Don't talk about the World Cup final in 98, look at the Champions Cup final in 02.In addition, in the 06 World Cup, France eliminated Brazil and Spain all the way. The aged Zidane performed at a god-level level.

This is the performance of Zidane's strong self-confidence.It is also Zidane's arrogance. If Micoud wants to achieve good results, he must have Zidane's arrogance.It's just that Miku is too introverted and has a shy personality.So George kept praising him and telling him he was strong.Let Miku's self-confidence continue to grow.

"John, you have to know that with the development of modern football, defense will become more and more important."

Miku nodded.

"I know that you are not willing to let you technical players defend. You listen to me first." George waved his hand seeing that Micoud was about to speak. "I don't expect you to be able to defend like a defensive midfielder, but when the offense and defense switch, at least you must help Anderson and Crowder."

"I advocate total defense. When attacking, we need a three-dimensional offensive. The two wings and full backs also need to participate in the attack. And you and Anderson also need to go deep. When defending, we must start from the end. The striker in front started, blocking the attack layer by layer."

"If you're only involved in the offense and you're out of the defense, then you're going to destroy the whole game of the team."

Now in Blackburn's midfield, Makelele's defense has not reached its peak.Deco is also developing, so Blackburn's seemingly strongest midfield is also its weakest.Robson sees this exactly.

It is impossible for George to make Makelele the best midfielder in the world in an instant, nor can he make Deco the Deco who was later in Barcelona.So more help from Miku is needed.

"John, would you like to share more for the team?"

When Miku heard George's words, he quickly stood up.Nod very seriously. "Head, don't worry. I know what you mean."

"Okay, John. Let's have a great time together. Let everyone see that you are as good as Zidane, if not better."
