Chapter 235 The reason for staying
"How about it?"

The next day Yang Feng arrived in Blackburn under the leadership of his father.George didn't say much during the whole process, but gave everything to Carl.

Carl is actually not needed for the assessment of a young player.It's just because of George's attention, or the young players introduced by George himself, that's why Karl appeared in the assessment scene in person.Next to Carl was the coach of the youth team, Adrian Gray.

Adrian Gray is currently the director of the Blackburn youth academy.

After Yang Feng came to the training ground, he had to conduct some assessments.As soon as Karl got the assessment data, George and Evan came to Karl's side.

"The speed is very fast, and it is not much worse than Owen when he was young." Carl gave George the data of the 60-meter, 30-meter, and [-]-meter speed tests just now, and praised him.

George looked at the data, and it was indeed very good.George smiled, and he really didn't miss it at the time.Yang Feng's speed was indeed very fast, and not so fast.

Ever since Irving was born, what England coaches like to say about fast players is that this person's speed is as good as Irving's.Some English media even named Klose "German Owen" after seeing Klose's explosive power and speed.

For the arrogant performance of the English media, George just laughed it off.

The degree of narcissism of the English media is completely comparable to that of the Chinese media.

"what about others?"

"The skills are excellent. I guess there are no players with such excellent skills in England's age group." Karl looked at Yang Feng who was preparing to play, and whispered to George.

Just after Yang Feng took the test, Adrian immediately arranged for Yang Feng to play.

"Not only in his age group, but also in the current England senior team, there is no one who can surpass him technically."

George nodded.The Premier League was later dubbed "British" by many Chinese fans.Although it is mixed with the prejudice of many other league fans, there are also many fans who laugh at the England national team.The skills of those English players are too rough.

"But in terms of skills, those who play street football have no skills. There are players who play football on the beach in Brazil, and there are players who are better than Pele and Maradona. After all, football can't be played only by skills."

"Whether Denilson's technology is good, isn't it the largest parallel importer in the world now."

Seeing George's bright smile, Karl poured cold water on George.

George shrugged. Of course Carl was right.Those who play freestyle football, their skills are more dazzling and dazzling than anyone else.But let them play in regular games, they are not as good as players in England's third and fourth tier leagues.

What Carl said about Denilson was the biggest joke in the history of world football.

Denilson used to be the most expensive player in the world, but after coming to Betis, his performance can't even be described as rubbish.Denilson may be a genius, a genius that no one can understand.He only lives in his own world, he only plays his own football.Others will never understand him.

But from the perspective of modern football, he is an out-and-out parallel importer.

"The body is thin, and the awareness of passing the ball needs to be improved." After watching the field for a few minutes, Evan expressed his opinion to George and Karl.

After Yang Feng came on the court, he didn't get the ball a few times.Moreover, his body is thinner than other young players, and he will fall down if he is hit by someone.And the passing is also out of sync with the other players.

"Left-footed player, let him go left. Then tell them to give him the ball more."

George looked at it for a while and noticed it too.Yang Feng is thin and weak, and it is his first time to play this kind of regular game, so he is very uncomfortable.Moreover, Yang Feng was placed in the middle, and he couldn't pose much threat to the regular defense.

So George asked them to put Yang Feng on the left.First avoid the middle lane where the defense strength is relatively thick.

After reaching the left side, Yang Feng's performance improved.Of course it's still not as good as it should be.But Yang Feng is on the wing, but he can give full play to his excellent speed and technique.In these children's games, the speed and skill of the lightning make it difficult to defend one-on-one.

"Because I haven't received formal training, I'm not used to it. But it's not a big problem. As long as you train well, you'll be fine." Karl nodded after seeing Yang Feng's activity on the wing.

"It's not a problem to be thin. As long as the nutrition can keep up, his body can still grow. He is only 13 years old now, and there is still a long period of development."

Carl wrote his thoughts in the report, and then signed his name with a swipe of a pen.

"I suggest that he be trained as a winger." After writing his thoughts, Carl suggested to George.

George nodded.

"Train up according to the wide players first."

In fact, in George's mind, Yang Feng should be a midfielder like Kaka.Once assaulted, there is no one to stop in the middle.And in terms of technique in a small space, Yang Feng is better than Kaka.

What happened to Yang Feng turned out to be a sensation to the three coaches of the first team.This shocked many young players.

These three first-team coaches are the Big Three of the first-team coaching staff.A head coach, an assistant coach, and a training coach.The three of them came to the youth training camp together for a 13-year-old player.The way they looked at Yang Feng changed.

In fact, they are all wrong.It turned out that George was the only one who was going to come and see today.But both Carl and Evan were a little curious about the difference between the young players that George personally introduced.

They are just curious.Yang Feng is only 13 years old now, and he is still too early to be able to play games.

…………

This incident is just a small episode in the boring league.

Blackburn will continue their league journey.

On December 12, Blackburn played an away game against Sunderland.

Sunderland is a newly promoted team this season.When looking ahead to this season, many football commentators believe that Sunderland are the favorites for relegation.Their strength is a scum when it comes to the Premier League.But I didn't expect that the Premier League is already halfway through, and Sunderland is still ranked No.7 in the Premier League.

Sunderland's manager is Peter Reed.

The coach achieved remarkable results at Everton during his player period.He is only 43 years old this year, and he is one of the young coaches in English football.But led Sunderland to achieve very good results.

There are almost no good players in Sunderland who can be named.

Historically, because of Sunderland's Kevin Phillips, the striker line composed of him and Quinn is a very famous combination in the Premier League.Kevin Phillips even scored [-] goals this season.

But there is no Kevin Phillips now, but Peter Reid still leads Sunderland to achieve very good results.

This has to make George admire Peter Reid's coaching ability.I just don't understand why the future Peter Reid doesn't have any fame.Even reduced to the point of going to Thailand as the head coach.

However, although Sunderland is strong, its style of play is single.

They are a traditional English team, playing two wingers and high center Quinn.

George actually doesn't like to play against such a team.Because they will have a lot of crosses or passes from the backcourt into Blackburn's penalty area in a game.Among them, as long as the Blackburn defender relaxes a little bit, it is very likely that they will score.

George prefers to play against those continental teams.Especially a team like Leeds United.

They never blindly cross or pass the ball, and patiently advance through the midfield.

Fortunately, Sunderland's strength is not strong.

Up to now, it is only because of the contempt and ignorance of other teams, plus their anger, that they have been able to come to the present.A high center like Quinn has no problem playing against other teams.But it is not so easy to beat Hyypia and Ferdinand.

Hypia's air control ability is definitely one of the best in the Premier League.

Therefore, George's style of play is to let go of the high-altitude ball in the middle and control their two sides.Then use Blackburn's wing to tear apart their offense.

Sunderland's overall style of play is very good, or the tacit understanding between their players is very high.If you play conventionally, it takes some patience to break their defense.

But George was unwilling to play step by step, so George chose Bellamy.With Bellamy's crazy speed, he kept attacking their right flank.This worked well, and although it didn't score, it made Sunderland's right wing jittery.

It was too difficult for one person to defend Bellamy.Bellamy never played skills with the players who defended him, only one word.Just run, use speed to surpass people.

"...Bellamy, pull Bellamy down... I can't keep up with Bellamy's speed at all. I often say that Bellamy has already gone sideways in the Premier League with just one speed. Bellamy this This kind of speed, coupled with the fact that Blackburn's midfielder can often give Bellamy some comfort balls, let Bellamy's advantages be brought to the extreme."

The Sunderland defender left the foul spot very depressed.Didn't even look at the referee's yellow card.

"Micoud and Pires both stood in front of the ball. Who could it be? Both of them had a free kick, and Micoud ran... It wasn't Micoud, Micoud was just covering, Pires!"

On the right, Pires' free kick is very characteristic.

Micoud took cover from the side, and then Pires went up to give him a pinch.The ball circled the wall in a perfect arc.

"Nice free-kick. Blackburn's free-kick was more of a Micoud serve, but Pires had one too."

"Only 31 minutes into the first half and Sunderland were down [-]-[-] at home. And the two players on the right defending Bellamy were booked. It was a difficult game."

In fact, even if Bellamy rushed in, he would usually choose to shoot forcibly by himself.So as long as the inside line is guarded, Bellamy's threat will be greatly reduced now.But Sunderland always thought that it would be dangerous for Bellamy to rush in, so he wanted to block Bellamy from the outside.

The final effect is that no one can prevent Bellamy who is galloping at high speed on the perimeter.It can only be two yellow cards for nothing.

The current Bellamy is not mature at all.After entering the penalty area, he only has the goal in his eyes and no companions.Compared with Duff, who was also young, Bellamy didn't listen to advice at all.George actually told Bellamy many times, but Bellamy still did his own thing.

But Bellamy's speed made George unable to give up anyway.

Although Bellamy has shortcomings, it depends on how the coach uses him.

After scoring a goal, George still did not change his attack method.Use Bellamy's point to continue to attack the opponent.Sunderland's right-back was timid in the face of Bellamy, after all, he was back with a yellow card.This made Bellamy even more unscrupulous.

George stepped forward and made a gesture to change places between Bellamy and Pires.

Although the position was changed, Blackburn's attack was still concentrated on Bellamy's side.This time it was Sunderland's turn to start suffering from the left.However, they absorbed the mistakes of the right defense. As long as Bellamy is not ready to insert inside, it will not matter.Just stood firmly in place.

"...Miku, Bellamy has activated again."

This is like a fixed pattern. As long as Miku has the ball, Bellamy is ready to run.

"Micoud, he didn't give it to Bellamy... he passed to the left, Pires, Pires got the ball."

Pires is not only a speed player, his technique is even better.The right back, who has been ravaged by Bellamy, faced Pires this time, but was swayed by Pires again with his technique.

Because Sunderland's defense was placed on Bellamy's side, Micoud's sudden transfer caught everyone in Sunderland by surprise.

And Pires did not give them a chance to react.The moment he took the ball, he passed the opponent's right back with a touch.Then go straight into Sunderland's restricted area.In front of Pires is a piece of open land. When Pires entered the Sunderland restricted area, there was no one in front of him.

Facing the goalkeeper, a low shot hit Sunderland's left post and bounced into the goal.

"Pirres, shoot! It's a brace from Pires. Two to zero, Blackburn seal the victory."

After the second goal, George knew the game was won.Recently, Manchester United and Leeds United have won consecutive games, which puts a lot of pressure on George.George doesn't want to be thrown off by them, so he must not lose points on the underdogs.

After the advantage of two balls, George began to shrink back to play.

With a speedy player like Bellamy in front, Sunderland couldn't beat them.

In the end, with two goals from Pires, Blackburn beat Sunderland [-]-[-] away.

But it is still ranked No.3 in the Premier League.Because in the last five games, Manchester United has won five consecutive victories, and Leeds United has also won five consecutive victories.These two teams have gone crazy this year. In the last eight games, Manchester United has six wins and two losses, and Leeds United has six wins, one draw and one loss.

The momentum was so fierce that even George shuddered.

And more importantly, Manchester United is now playing in the Champions League and has already qualified for the group stage.And Leeds United is now playing in the UEFA Cup, and they have already entered the round of [-].

The Premier League has begun to gain momentum in European football.Although it is only a sign, but a few years later, it will be the golden age of the Premier League.
