Chapter 366 Counterattack
"George, I see you are in a good mood."

Wenger, in fact, has already half-abandoned this season's Premier League champion in his heart.Because Blackburn's advantage is too great.

Ten points, even if Arsenal wins the game, there are still seven points.The difference between three games.

Who has the most stable team in the Premier League.Apart from Ferguson's Manchester United, of course it's not about Manchester United this season.It is Manchester United after the establishment of the Premier League.In addition to Manchester United, it belongs to George's Blackburn.

George's Blackburn has one of the biggest features.That is, after the start of the season, the performance has been very stable.

George began to grab points at the beginning of the season.When others have not yet entered the state, Blackburn has established its own advantage in the Premier League.And although he has the experience of being chased at the end of the season, he has no experience of being overtaken.

It looked tough, but there was no crash.

With eleven games left, seven points are really not so easy to chase.

However, there was some half-abandonment in his heart, but Wenger couldn't put it in front of him.Because once it's shown, wouldn't that frustrate your team?

George shrugged.

"Of course, the results have been good recently, and the mood is of course good. But Arsenal, in fact, you really shouldn't waste your energy in the league. If I were you, I would think about how to get out of the Champions League group stage. This is more practical."

Wenger heard George's words and didn't answer.He just smiled and returned to his seat.

Wenger felt bitter.

Entered the group of death in the Champions League group stage for two consecutive seasons.

And this time the Champions League group stage is the real group of death.A more worrying group of death than last season.Think about three opponents, Juventus, Deportivo, Dortmund.What kind of luxurious lineup is this.

Even if these four teams are all in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, there is no problem at all.But now in a group.

And the current points of this group are very interesting.

In the first game, Deportivo and Juventus won, while in the second game, Dortmund and Arsenal won.In the third game, it was a double-double tie again.In this way, three games have ended, and now their group has four teams with the same points.

All four teams scored four points.

Really interesting points.Also fits the name of the Group of Death.

George didn't sit up.Instead, he stood directly on the sidelines.

Wenger glanced at George.Wenger first heard of George five years ago.At that time, Wenger had just come to Arsenal, because George criticized football violence after the game, so Wenger knew the name George.

George was still the head coach of a League One club at the time.

In just a few years, George is already a famous coach in England.It also broke the monopoly of Manchester United and Arsenal on the Premier League.

Wenger shook his head.

The afterlife is terrifying!

…………

With the sound of the referee's whistle, the highlight of this season's Premier League championship began.

George is the main force here at Blackburn.

The striker is Anelka on loan.Anelka has played six games since his loan spell.Scored four goals and was in excellent form.And Anelka himself is quite looking forward to this game.

Speaking of Anelka, we have to talk about Wenger.

Wenger is the most vicious head coach in world football.His accurate vision and strong ability to train young players are definitely the best in world football.

Wenger's smug handwriting is too much.

One of them that has to be mentioned is Anelka. At 17, £50. At the age of 19, he was the best newcomer in the Premier League and moved to Real Madrid for 300 million pounds.It's just like a fairy tale.Although the ending of the protagonist Anelka in the story is not very good.

When Anelka left Arsenal, Arsene Wenger, Anelka's mentor, said with heartache: "You only need to eat three meals a day and sleep in one bed—why do you need so much money?"

Arsenal fans have likened Anelka to a bastard who only recognizes money.

Anelka is a moron.

Although he seldom fights back, he still remembers this account in his heart.I really want revenge.

George also liked Anelka's reaction.Where there is anger, there will be motivation.And Arsenal are good at everything, just as bad.That's Arsenal's backline, especially their central defenders.

In history, Wenger introduced Campbell for free, so the defense is okay.

But this time it was George who took the lead.Wenger hasn't made any big signings at centre-back either.Only Toure, such a young player, was introduced.Has yet to secure a stable spot at Arsenal.

Therefore, Arsenal's rear veterans Adams and Keown, at the age of 36, still guard the rear for Arsenal.

But don't underestimate these two old guys.

They are old, not explosive, not fast.Wenger also knows this very well, so let the two of them guard near the big penalty area.Definitely won't press forward.Once these two old guys are not pressed, it will be quite unfavorable for the striker.

Because although the two people's physical fitness has declined, their experience is quack.

At this time, a player with an abnormal body like Drogba is better.Anelka was very depressed, because if the two of them didn't come out, it would be really difficult to fight.Because the two people are in a stable position, what Anelka does, they all firmly hold their positions, preventing Anelka from entering the penalty area and facing the goalkeeper.

And Arsenal's left-back Ashley Cole, after a season of training, has become more and more general demeanor.Duff, a famous Premier League player, is getting more and more difficult to break through against Ashley Cole.

In this way, Arsenal has the upper hand on the scene.

Parlor followed Miku closely.The player Parlor said he was strong, that's what happened.But if you say that he is not strong, he is like a dog skin plaster that can make you quite uncomfortable.

Parlor has good physical strength and better running ability.He can play as a right midfielder, but in this game, he will play in the position of the defensive midfielder, which is to mark Micoud.

Then there is Vieira, controlling the pace of Arsenal's game.Ljungberg on the right and Dalma on the left are both good players who can make sudden passes.Dalma, a genius who fell rapidly in the original history, has shown amazing brilliance in the hands of Wenger.

Together with Henry, he has grown into the best striker in the Premier League.

Gun King, it's different from when he first arrived in the Premier League two years ago.Henry's name is now smashed out, and it is bang bang in the Premier League.And Henry is also entitled to this reputation.

On the contrary, the situation on the field is that Arsenal, who are playing away, have the advantage.

Georges looked at Anelka in front of him.Anelka is very strong, but there is a big problem with being a lone striker.Especially when facing defenders like Adams and Keown, the speed advantage cannot be brought into play.In addition, Anelka is a striker with good skills at his feet, but he has no ability for high-altitude balls.If it were Klose, George could have carried out a high-altitude bombing and killed you two immortals.

Seeing the increasingly active Henry, Bergkamp and others, George asked the team to step back.

In fact, Arsenal also has this problem.High-altitude balls are almost useless for Arsenal.Henry, who is 1.8 meters tall, can't even head the ball.So George is going to shrink his defense.George hadn't been like this before.

But as Deco's offense and defense become more and more comprehensive, George is not afraid of this shrinking defense.

Blackburn's shrinking defense made it difficult for Arsenal's two central defenders.Arsenal's offense moves forward, and the two central defenders have to keep up, otherwise they will be out of touch.But once caught up, Anelka's speed is still dreadful.

So the two are very cautious.Although cautious, because of the forward movement of the entire attack, they can only move forward a little.Although it was only a few steps, it was five or six meters ahead of the original.

They don't know that just a few meters is enough for a speed forward.

In the 7th minute of the game, Ljungberg's shot was blocked by Van der Sar.

Van der Sar threw the ball to Pires on the left, because the overall formation shrank back, and Pires was also farther back.

"...Pirres, pass it to Miku..."

George attaches great importance to counterattack when switching offense and defense.Because one-third of a team's goals are scored in counterattacks.George's request for counterattack is very simple, one word fast.Pass the ball fast and run fast.

Therefore, Pires gave the ball to Micoud in the middle as soon as he received the ball.

Miku is even more so.As an attacking midfielder, Micoud is well aware of the situation on the field.As soon as he received the ball, Micoud knew what to do with it.One foot was handed over to Anelka in front of him.

"... Micoud... Anelka got the ball."

Anelka faced Adams and Keown again.But unlike before, this time Adams and Keown were slightly ahead.Just such a small distance is enough for Anelka.

Anelka speeded up and wiped past Keown directly with speed.

Because the distance between Adams and Keown and the goalkeeper was too short, Anelka was not given a chance to take advantage of his speed.Anelka can make full use of the distance of just a few meters now.

Anelka was really fast, and he passed Keown in one go.But Keown wasn't a vegetarian either. Although he was a step slower, his reaction was still very fast.Especially his partner Adams, who immediately ran in a straight line, blocked Anelka's route into the penalty area.

And Keown immediately went to Adams' position to defend.

This cross defense reflects the experience and tacit understanding of Adams and Keown.

When Anelka ran, Adams ran while trying to squeeze Anelka out of the perimeter.

At this time, Anelka led the ball to the middle with his left heel, and he turned around suddenly at high speed.Anelka turned, but Adams couldn't stop in time.This look Anelka immediately dumped Adams.

It also came out of the shooting angle.

Keown sees this and tackles forward to stop Anelka from shooting.But Anelka didn't look at him, but just passed Adams for a moment, and shot directly.
