Chapter 488 It's Good To Be Rich
George should think about it.

Sagnol was injured, Campbell was injured, now it's Micoud's turn to be injured.

These three people are the absolute core players of Blackburn.

George is clearly in a very bad mood these days.

In fact, Mark Laurenson was right.If it was placed a few years ago, if Campbell was injured, George could find a good guard to supplement the lineup in the winter.After all, although there are not many good defenders in European football, they can still be done as long as they spend money.

Just like Samuel, who moved to Real Madrid this year, his performance in Real Madrid has reached the extreme.

If Blackburn is willing to pay, it is really possible to win him in winter.

Of course this is just a metaphor.

In other words, there are still good defenders in European football.But it needs your money.But precisely, the team is no longer able to support George in the transfer market.

In the next few years, George will need to raise the transfer fee himself.

At present, apart from Lucio, Blackburn, Lescott and Micheverli are obviously not at ease.Kompany, who is on loan, is a star in the Belgian league.But is it too early to really gain a foothold in Blackburn?
It seems that this season, George can only use the combination of Lucio and Lescott.

What an unreliable combination of central defenders.

The central defender dealt with it like this, what about Miku's absence?
Miku?

George is most concerned about Micoud's injury.

Speaking of which, Miku is important though.But he is no longer an essential player at Blackburn.Especially with the growth of Alonso and the rise of Kaka, the presence of Micoud is of course very good, but even if he is not there, there is no big problem for Blackburn.

Micoud's absence from injury is actually not at all comparable to Campbell's absence.

Campbell's role in the current Blackburn has surpassed that of Micoud.

But for Miku, George's affection is the deepest.

Miku is 31 years old this year and will be 32 soon.

Injury at this time will have a great impact on a veteran.

"Laurent, it seems that this is forcing us to play defensively and counterattack."

George shook his head.

The combination of Lucio and Lescott is too uneasy for George.Now that I think about it, I can only carry out defensive counterattacks, using midfield defense to reduce the pressure on the back line.

Blanco nodded.

"George, John's injured. Looks like we're going to play wide again."

George understood what Blanco meant.

Kaka's strong rise squeezed Micoud to the side.Coupled with Duff's departure, Blackburn gave up their offensive play on the wing.Although he also plays sideways, it is no longer the main thing.George let Micoud play the right midfielder, but this right midfielder is false, and Micoud mainly plays in the middle.

Blackburn's midfield gathered Micoud, Pires, and Kaka, so they played more in the middle.

Now that Micoud is injured, Blackburn will return to the wing to play.

It is obviously unrealistic to continue playing in the middle.Especially without an outstanding mid-lane player like Miku, there are too many problems just relying on Kaka to play in the mid-lane alone.

"En. Laurent, tell me, who is more suitable to play on the wing?"

Now Blackburn has a lot of wide players, and it can even be said to be flooded.

Pires, Hleb, Arshavin, Ribery, and Yang Feng, who was just mentioned by George to the first team this season.

Pires must be the main force here.

And several others have their own characteristics.

"Frank!"

George looked up and smiled. "Why?"

"George, you are asking the question knowingly. Robert is old, and his explosive power and speed are not enough. Of course, the other winger needs a speedy player. Yang Feng is too young to play the main position. The others are not strong enough, and only Frank has the most promising future." .”

Blanco attaches great importance to and likes Ribery, a little fellow.

Since Ribery was promoted to the first team, Blanco has been very attentive to Ribery.This time I also recommend Ribery.

George nodded.

George has clear ideas about the future of Blackburn.That is, after putting the two defensive midfielders, the three players in the frontcourt are all fast players.Destroy the enemy with speed, among which Kaka and Ribery are very important players.

Of course, there is another person who is Yang Feng.

It's just that Yang Feng is too young.

Now only Ribery is the most suitable.Ribery is far more suitable than Hleb and Arshavin.Although Franck Ribery still has various problems, but with speed and technique, he can still use it.

"Okay, Laurent. We'll start playing this way in the next training session. Split the defense with two wings."

Because of Micoud's injury, Blackburn's style of play has changed.

Blackburn began to pay attention to the wing.

Pires on the left, Ribery on the right.The midfielder is a combination of Alonso and Essien, and the two of them will be the last barrier to protect Blackburn's defense.

…………

As George thought, Campbell's injury had far greater impact than Micoud's injury.

Although Micoud was injured, it made Blackburn's style of play less delicate.However, Blackburn's offensive strength has not been hit much. Blackburn's offense is still among the best in the Premier League.

Ribery, who has just become the main force, performed very well on the right.

Although it is still a little immature, it has already shown that kind of extraordinary speed.

But Campbell's injury made Blackburn's defense a big problem.

If it's some average high ball, neither Lucio nor Lescott have much problem.What Lescott is most afraid of is those agile, fast forwards.And even more afraid of the opponent hitting behind.Facing Lescott, hit one behind the other.

Lucio's personal strength is good.

But it's been rushing and punching all the time, anyway, Campbell is behind him to wipe his ass.So no worries.

Now combined with Lescott.Lescott's choice of position is not very good. With a strong man like Lucio, as long as the opponent hits behind, Lucio and Lescott have nothing to do.Almost every team in the Premier League knows their weaknesses.

In desperation, George could only compress the distance between the central defender and the goalkeeper as much as possible.

In this constant adjustment, Blackburn gradually adapted.

Soon it will be two months.

It will be October 10 soon, and it is already the tenth round of the Premier League.Blackburn away to Chelsea.

Chelsea have been doing well lately.

After Mourinho took over Chelsea, the biggest change for Chelsea is stability.Very steady.Although it will be the tenth round of the Premier League soon, Chelsea have only played eight games.

In eight games, Mourinho's Chelsea scored four [-]-[-] and one [-]-[-].In the remaining three games, two were zero to zero, and the other was a loss to Manchester City, zero to one.Two of them were consecutive [-]-[-] victories over Manchester United and Liverpool.

These scores, you can see one or two.

Mourinho's Chelsea is stable, too stable.

The game made everyone suffocated.Manchester United and Liverpool can be regarded as having learned the lesson.

Chelsea during Ranieri's period, although they also played defensive counterattacks, were not as strong as Mourinho.

It's just that Chelsea's results are not obvious now.

Because in the current Premier League, there is a stronger team.That is Arsene Wenger's Arsenal. Arsenal's performance continued last season's excellence, and so far they have not lost a single game.It is the only undefeated team in the Premier League.

It is because of Arsenal that Mourinho's achievements at Chelsea are not very conspicuous.

But George knew.

Mourinho's Chelsea has sharp teeth and sharp mouth.As long as Arsenal is beaten, it will be futile for anyone who wants to catch up with Chelsea.Because by that time Chelsea has already taken everyone a big step away.

But George felt a little envious of Mourinho.

Mourinho's life in Porto is not very generous.But after arriving at Chelsea, Mourinho has learned what it means to be extravagant.

Robben, Kezhiman, Ferreira, Carvalho, Thiago, Petr Cech and other strong players have arrived.

Of course, Mourinho still has a transfer.

After the acquisition of Drogba failed, Mourinho set his sights on Italy.

Luca Toni, who had just scored 1000 goals in the Italian second division, came into Mourinho's sight.Mourinho brought Mourinho from Palermo to England for a price of [-] to [-] million pounds.

It's a shame to say the least.

In history, one year later, Tony scored 1000 goals in Serie A and moved to Fiorentina for only [-] million euros.

Sterling is still worth a lot now.Twelve million pounds, that's more than seventeen million euros.But Abu didn't take it to heart at all. There are too many transfers of 200 million pounds and 700 million pounds. Just over 3000 million pounds can be thrown out casually.

When Tony first transferred, many people in the British media laughed at Chelsea.

Chelsea have so many good strikers.Crespo, Hasselbaink, Gudjohnsen, and the newly bought Kezhiman are all more famous than Tony.

But Mourinho loves Toni.

Tony is now Chelsea's main striker.And there are a lot of goals.Eight games, scored three goals.

What is too little?

Chelsea have scored a total of six goals in eight games.Tony scored three goals alone, can't it be too many?

Mourinho defended very well when he was in Porto, and now he is even better at Chelsea.Mourinho placed Makelele, Hargreaves and Lampard in the midfield. Of course, sometimes Cambiasso played.

What a midfielder it was at Porto before, what a midfielder it is now at Chelsea.

Coupled with Mourinho's defensive tactics, Chelsea's defense is really difficult to break.Chelsea's midfield players, those are world-class defenders.

After Mourinho's training, they became stronger.Stronger than Manchester United and Liverpool, when they met Chelsea, they failed to get a few shots.You can imagine their defensive ability.

Going to play Chelsea?

Thinking of Mourinho, George is envious.It's fucking nice to be rich!
　Sorry, sorry, it can only be an update.It's been raining heavily here today, and the power has been out since the early hours of the morning.Called at night.

　　I promise to make it all up tomorrow.
