Chapter 403 The skinny camel is bigger than a horse
George's sarcasm towards the reporter, in the eyes of the media, is an expression of bluntness.

"Since Deco left, Blackburn's midfield organization has been chaotic. Although relying on the performance of several players in the frontcourt, they have not fallen behind. But the chaos in the midfield is completely visible. But George is still stubborn, thinking that the young Harvey .Alonso has no problem."

"George left a few important players and bought a few young players. George is too confident. Perhaps his previous brilliant record has blinded George. Harvey Alonso, what's the matter? It's just two seasons La Liga, and a player in Real Sociedad. To be treated by George as a substitute for Deco, what a mistake!"

"The champion of the Champions League has been reduced to the point where the midfielder of the relegation team is the core."

The media didn't give George the Champions League champion face at all.

Mark Lawrenson, George's biggest enemy, ridiculed George in his column. "George may have forgotten the [-]-[-] score four years ago. It was because George made a big move against the team, which finally led to the decline of the team's combat effectiveness. Blackburn suffered a century of shame."

"Champion of the Champions League, is it possible that George is already in a daze. Forgot the shame of [-]-[-]?"

George has never been a nice guy.

There are too many media criticizing George, so George can't care about them for a while.But Mark Lawrenson jumped out and George had a target.Immediately replied a few words in front of the reporter.

"There is only one difference between a successful person and a failed person. The loser only knows to blame others, only knows to find fault with others. The successful person sees the advantages of others. There are no generals who are always victorious in the world, and neither is the team. That's it. The development of the team is like a wave. There are valleys and valleys. This is a very normal thing, a normal development."

"I don't know someone who has been a player all his life and can't even understand this. I don't even know how he sneaked into the TV station as a commentator."

George now feels that he is already a champion coach.So I didn't want to be as knowledgeable as Mark Laurenson, but I didn't expect that this man would be like a mangy dog, who would not let go of his bite.

When the British media ridiculed George overwhelmingly, Blackburn was about to play the European Super Cup.

Although Blackburn is the champion of the Champions League, many people are not optimistic about the prospect of the Super Cup.

Even Feyenoord coach Van Marwijk from the Eredivisie shouted in the media that they are the European champions.

George sneered.

These people are too funny.

Yes, the departure of Deco and Makelele caused Blackburn a lot of problems for a while.But it doesn't mean that Blackburn is really in decline.Most of Blackburn's main players still stayed.

Blackburn is just temporarily unable to adapt to the days without Deco.They are used to Deco's ball control, passing, especially controlling the rhythm.

Alonso, who is now replacing Deco, has not been able to perfectly replace Deco.It doesn't mean that Blackburn's strength has dropped a notch.I didn't expect that even a club like Feyenoord would dare to laugh at Blackburn.

Does Van Marwijk really think that Blackburn is vulnerable now.

When they came to Monaco, the Blackburn players were very low-key.It is really because Blackburn has played too thrillingly in the last few games.I have always been used to having a midfielder behind me who controls the rhythm of the game. Suddenly Alonso cannot replace Deco, so the Blackburn players are not very comfortable.

On the contrary, Feyenoord is very high-profile.

Not only Van Marwijk, but even Feyenoord's players said they beat Blackburn to show that they are the European champions.

George didn't even understand why Feyenoord had the confidence to be so high-profile.

After the Bosman Act, the Eredivisie was completely in decline.Only Ajax back then, apart from reaching the Champions League final once, no Eredivisie club has reached the semi-finals of the Champions League.It can be said that the Eredivisie is the hardest hit area of ​​the Bosman Act.

The previous Eredivisie was relatively strong in European football.

But the current Eredivisie is completely uncompetitive.Feyenoord's results in recent seasons are not bad, but they are not considered very strong.Even facing the ordinary strong teams in the four major European leagues, they are not strong enough.I really don't understand why Van Marwijk is so arrogant in the face of the Premier League champion and Champions League champion Blackburn.

For the current Feyenoord, there are only two people that George is most familiar with.

One is Shinji Ono, the current Japanese player of Feyenoord.Shinji Ono is not well-known in European football, but he is definitely famous in Asian football.Especially in East Asia, at this time, there are no particularly famous players in South Korea.

And Shinji Ono is another top Asian player from Japan after Hidetoshi Nakata.

This player, known as "Japanese Beckham" in Japan, is a very famous player in Asia.He just came to Feyenoord last season and won the UEFA Cup with Feyenoord.

As a Chinese fan in his previous life, George knew Shinji Ono quite well.

Another person became famous when he said it.

Of course not in this time and space, even in this time and space, he is still a very famous player.That is Van Persie, one of the four little kings of the Netherlands.Needless to say, Van Persie's future achievements, although he has not played steadily due to injuries.

But when there was no injury, he was called "General Fan" by Arsenal fans.

Van Persie is this year, but his talent is definitely rare in European football.Van Persie, who was only 17 years old last season, started to make his mark at Feyenoord.

He was the best young player in the Netherlands last season.

Van Persie is really strong.It's a pity that his personality is also very strong, and he has a bad relationship with Van Marwijk. In this game, Van Marwijk was put on the bench.

The last thing George wants to face is a talented attacking player like Van Persie.Especially young talents, because they are often able to make some unexpected moves during the game.But fortunately, Van Persie was pushed up by Van Marwijk.

And although he is unwilling to face a talented player like Van Persie, he is not afraid even if he faces George.

George is low-key, and his tactical arrangements on the court are also very conservative.

Harvey Alonso and Hargreaves are at the back, and then there is a midfield composed of Pires, Kaka and Micoud.Pires and Micoud were behind, and Kaka almost reached the position of the second center forward.

There is only one Drogba left at the front.

Not only that, Blackburn's overall formation leaned back.

This arrangement made the commentators say that George lacked confidence.Facing Feyenoord, they all put on this counterattack formation.

George is indeed a counterattack tactic, but not lack of confidence.But after these few games, George discovered that the current Blackburn is really not suitable for the original midfield control style of play.Because Alonso is still too immature, and his technical ability is really not as good as Deco.

Although Deco is a somewhat European Brazilian player, his skills at his feet are absolutely excellent.But Alonso is much worse than Deco in this respect.

So George simply canceled the original style of play.

Although Van Marwijk was very high-profile before the game, as a coach, he was absolutely not careless.But the game was a bit of a surprise, because Blackburn, the Champions League champion, stepped back.

Van Marwijk felt that Blackburn really lacked confidence.

But after the game started, Van Marwijk found out.The champion of the Champions League is the champion of the Champions League. Although heavyweight players such as Deco and Makelele are gone, it is far from what Feyenoord can deal with.

If the current Alonso is better than Deco, it must be his defensive ability.

Deco's defense was completely forced by George.And it was trained in the Premier League.But Alonso himself was born as a defensive midfielder, and defense is his job.And the defense of the two is also very different.

The previous Blackburn defense was that Makelele stood in position and Deco connected in series.But the current Blackburn defense is that Alonso stands still and dispatches the team.Hargreaves sweeps through midfield.

So after the game started, Feyenoord attacked for a while.But it was simply impossible to break through Blackburn's defense.Especially the defense in the middle, it is impossible to get in at all.

But Blackburn's counterattack here is accurate.

At the end of the first half, Van Marwijk could only wave his hands helplessly.The big three to zero irritated Van Marwijk's eyes.

He really didn't think so.

In this game, Blackburn's counterattack was very accurate.George deliberately increased Alonso's prestige, so as long as Hargreaves grabbed the ball, he would hand the ball to Alonso.And Alonso himself is also very strong defensively, stealing a lot of balls.

After Alonso took the ball, George handed over the rhythm of the entire game to Alonso.George knew it was counterproductive and could easily overwhelm players.

But George believed in Alonso.Because Alonso is not an ordinary person, he has a big heart.At the age of 19, he served as the captain of Real Sociedad and helped the team successfully avoid relegation.Such an experience, George believes that Alonso can fully bear it.

In terms of affordability, Alonso is better than anyone at Blackburn right now.

After Alonso got the ball, most of it was handed over to Micoud.During the attack, Micoud will decide the direction of the attack.

There was a lot of room up front because Blackburn were tucked back.It is most suitable for Kaka's performance. Kaka uses speed and high-speed Feyenoord what is strength.Why Blackburn is the Champions League champions, but you are the UEFA Cup champions.

In the first half, Kaka passed and shot, Pires' goal, Drogba's goal, leading [-]-[-].

Blackburn has not played such a happy game for a long time.Blackburn made persistent efforts in the second half, with Duff scoring a goal off the bench and Drogba scoring another.In the UEFA Super Cup, they defeated Feyenoord with a score of [-]-[-].

"Five to zero. They forgot that Blackburn is the champion of the Champions League. Even before the game, most of the media said that Blackburn's game was hanging. There is really no reason. It's the Champions League champions."

"Five to zero, such a disparity. Blackburn told everyone that their strength is still there."
