Football coach

2004 years.

This was the year that began to change European football, and it was also a decisive year for the Premier League.Since the Heythel tragedy, the status of English football in European football has gone from bad to worse, and the performance of English clubs in Europe is also very poor.Even in the 90s, England's strong teams went to European competitions, and their results were terrible.

It wasn't until Manchester United's triple crown in 1999 and Liverpool's five crowns in 2001 that the Premier League teams slowly began to achieve some results in European football.The 0405 season was the year when the English league started strong again.

This season Liverpool completed the Istanbul miracle and miraculously won the Champions League. Arsenal entered the Champions League final in the 0506 season, Liverpool entered the Champions League final in the 0607 season, the Premier League civil war in the 0708 season, and Manchester United entered the Champions League final in the 0809 season.

Check out this score.

There are still several seasons in between, and three of the top four teams in the Champions League are Premier League teams.

All the changes started this season.Of course, not only in the European arena, even the English league has begun to change.In the seven years before this season, it was the period when Manchester United and Arsenal competed for hegemony.

Manchester United won four Premier League titles, Arsenal won three Premier League titles.

But starting from this season, Chelsea has sprung up.Chelsea under Jose Mourinho has completely changed the landscape of English football.Mourinho's Chelsea told all English teams that if they want to compete for the championship, they must not draw points from the beginning of the season.

Tell all opponents that from the beginning of the season it is the championship stage.

Can't relax at all.

The same is true of Chen Ping. 2004 is a special year, an opportunity for any club.Because the start of the English league season is going to be chaotic.

The sudden emergence of Chelsea, the failure of Manchester United's replacement, and the decline of Arsenal after the undefeated season will completely disrupt the order of the English league.

Stability was not what Chen Ping hoped for.

Because the more stable it is, the more it shows that the order is stable.In a stable order, any new power that wants to rise will be rebounded by the traditional order and suppressed by everyone.

chaos.

Only in chaos can we win in chaos.

Therefore, Chen Ping attaches great importance to the opening.Taking advantage of the fact that everyone in English football is focusing on how many rounds of undefeated Arsenal will create, and everyone in English football is focusing on the nouveau riche Chelsea, they must grab enough points.

On August 2004, 8, the first round of the Premier League.

Ewood Park Stadium.

Chen Ping himself is very excited about the Premier League game.I have been a coach for 20 years in my previous life and this life, but this is the first time I have led the team to compete in the top five European leagues.

Of course I was excited.

Not only Chen Ping, but also many West Ham players.Many of them are playing in the top league for the first time, so they are very excited, but also nervous.

"Clap clap-"

Chen Ping clapped his hands and said: "When you go out now, the game is the Premier League. In fact, any game is the same, no matter if it is a Premier League game or a low-level league, a game is a game. It's not that the Premier League is special, he wants to play One hundred minutes game."

"Ricky, what are the responsibilities of the center forward?"

"Goal."

Lambert immediately answered loudly.

Step by step, Lambert is the only player who has followed Chen Ping since the third league.He followed Chen Ping from Oxford United, and when Chen Ping left Oxford United, he also took Lambert with him.Even Lambert's outstanding performance has attracted the attention of the England national team.

The shyness of the past can't be seen at all.

Lambert is more confident now, and now he has completely believed in Chen Ping's original promise.Three years ago, Lambert had just started scoring at Oxford United, and Chen Ping had promised him.Lambert has the ability to play in the Premier League, the Champions League, and even the national team.At that time, I just thought it was Chen Ping encouraging himself.

But what Chen Ping said is now being realized step by step.

All this made Lambert trust Chen Ping more and more.

"Yes, it's a goal."

Chen Ping also likes Lambert the most.Chen Ping was very satisfied every time he saw Lambert's admiring eyes.

"Ricky, let me tell you. No matter what level of league it is, including the Premier League or the World Cup, there is only one task for the center forward, and that is to shoot and score goals. No matter what game it is, the task of the center forward is to score goals. The ball. It’s useless to talk too much about other things.”

"Yes, head. I'm sure I'll score."

Lambert immediately patted his chest

Guarantee.

Chen Ping smiled.

The boy is good, very savvy.So I said to everyone: "Premier League, don't think too much. We even eliminated Tottenham, Chelsea and Arsenal last season. Blackburn is nothing. Blackburn is a relegation team this season. Are we still worried about Blackburn? No."

"Look at Blackburn's starting lineup, they can't even line up a full midfielder. They lack speed on the two wings, whether it's Emerton or Depedro, they lack speed on the wing. And their There is no defensive midfielder in the middle, and Mateo is a guest midfielder. Therefore, their midfield scheduling can only rely on Barry Ferguson. Barry Ferguson's foot skills are not bad, but it is only good. Michael, don't Give him a chance. If he dares to press up, don’t give him space to control the ball. If he retreats, you press up boldly. Understand?”

"Yes."

Carrick nodded.

Blackburn.

Chen Ping really didn't take it to heart.Today's Blackburn is not the same Blackburn that won the Premier League ten years ago.Since winning the Premier League title, Blackburn's performance has gone from bad to worse.

Starting from selling Shearer, Blackburn's champion players left Blackburn one after another.Duff and Dunn, two of Blackburn's best players in the last two years, also left Blackburn.

Makes Blackburn very easy and problematic.

Chen Ping was very happy when the starting lineup for this match came out.Because Blackburn really has no players.The combination in the middle of the midfield turned out to be Mateo and Barry Ferguson.

Mateo is a famous player in the Premier League and a defensive player trained by Liverpool, but he is a central defender.But this game played the position of the midfielder.And Barry Ferguson is a Scotland international.

He was a superstar player in the Glasgow Rangers team, and even a star player in the entire Soviet Super League.Came to the Premier League last season, but spent £750 million for Blackburn.

But last season's performance at Blackburn was very poor.

It should be said that the style of play between the Scottish Super League and the Premier League is not too different, but after Barry Ferguson, who is the leader of the Scottish Super League, came to Blackburn, he was very uncomfortable with the Premier League.In other words, Blackburn didn't have players who could cooperate with him. Anyway, his performance in Blackburn was very poor.

Of course, Chen Ping was happy with such a midfield combination.

Chen Ping trusted Carrick very much.Although Carrick is only 23 years old now, he has a lot of experience.Has played in the Premier League for several seasons, and performed very well in the League One last season.

More than enough against Barry Ferguson.

"Pepe."

"Yes."

"At Blackburn, in addition to Barry Ferguson, Yorke will often retreat to organize the attack. Pepe, you give me the top of him in this game. He is old, and his body and skills are not as good as before. Just use his body Hit him, don't let him turn, but don't foul too much. Depedro's free kick is very good, avoid too many fouls. His body is already bad, as long as you follow him, there is nothing he can do. Yes Can you do it?"

"can."

excited.

Pepe now has nothing but excitement.I used to be just a central defender of a small Portuguese Super League team, and my worth was only 100 million pounds. When I came to the Premier League, I didn't expect to be able to start.

very excited.

Dwight Yorke, this name can't be said to be famous, but it is definitely like a thunder.Manchester United's black wind and double evil back then helped Manchester United win the Triple Crown.Although Black Wind and Shuangsha were not the top strikers of the year, their combination is very powerful.

Yorke is somewhat similar to a nine and a half player, with good skills at his feet and good passing.

Too bad that's all in the past.York is now almost 33 years old. In fact, since he left Manchester United, he has been in a bad state.But in Blackburn, Blackburn has always regarded him as a treasure. After all, Blackburn really doesn't have any good players.

Scared?

Pepe had no such thoughts in mind.

Although Pepe usually looks shy, she is fearless in her heart.Whatever Dwight York was, Pepe wasn't afraid at all.On the contrary, he is eager to try, how exciting it is to fight against such an accomplished and famous general.

So Pepe answered loudly.

"Andre."

"Yes."

"Drop back in this game. Ricky, you press me up and press their defense. Andre, you drop back and open the distance between the Blackburn central defender and the midfielder. Matteo though I have played in the middle before, but I am not an authentic defensive midfielder. So there will be many defensive loopholes, which you can take advantage of. Frank and Yossi can resolutely shoot long shots when they have the opportunity."

"Okay. The game is about to start, and I hope to have a good start."
