Chapter 153 Gradually adapt

After the end of the fourth round of the league and Coventry, Blackburn once again went to London.This time Blackburn is going to challenge another strong English team, the London strong team Tottenham Hotspur in North London.

As one of the two famous clubs in north London, Tottenham have always been at a disadvantage compared to their arch-rivals Arsenal.Arsenal have won eleven top league titles, while Tottenham have only two top league titles.

Moreover, Tottenham's performance in recent years has not been very good, but as a big club in North London, Tottenham is still a big London club with many fans in England.

The current head coach of Tottenham is George Graham, who has just taken office.Former Tottenham coach Kroos has just left Tottenham because of poor grades.The coming successor surprised everyone, that is Arsenal's meritorious coach Graham.

Graham is a famous Scottish former football player and manager.After he became a coach, most of his achievements were achieved at Arsenal.From 1986 to 1995 at Arsenal, Graham achieved brilliant results.He led Arsenal to two League Cup titles, one FA Cup title, two top league titles and one European Cup Winners' Cup.

Although his style of play is ugly, he has been criticized all the time.But Graham still has a very important position in the hearts of Arsenal fans. After all, Graham is Arsenal's meritorious coach.But no one thought that Graham risked the world's shame and became the head coach of Tottenham.

This is even more sensational than George's entry into Blackburn.This is entirely determined by the status of Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur in English football.

This time George is going to face Graham's Tottenham team.

The two traitors who were also from the original club met today.

…………

"Alan Nelson, he got the ball... he dribbled past Deco... Anderton, crossed... Iverson!"

"Hendry is a bit old. In such a quick offensive and defensive transition, he has more than enough energy. Iverson, a young player who is only 20 years old, suppressed Hendry and scored a goal."

"Only 10 minutes into the game, Tottenham led Blackburn at home. Pires lost the ball just now. Pires really lived up to his worth of 550 million pounds." Martin Taylor shook his head and blamed Pires.

"Yeah, since coming to Blackburn. Pires has been his worst performance at Blackburn. Doesn't look like a player worth £550m. But George seems to trust Pires so much that he has performed so poorly , but has been able to firmly occupy the main position on the left of Blackburn."

"But I think George should make some changes. After all, Pires' performance on the left is really bad. Now Pires really doesn't deserve a main position."

"Martin, George's start at Blackburn couldn't have been worse." Andy Gray was a pity.Andy Gray first got to know George because he was commentating on last year's FA Cup.

For George, Andy Gray has a deep affection.Andy Gray feels that George is a rare local coach in England for so many years, and he also hopes that England can have a world-class good coach.

But in the first few games, Andy Gray was really... for George.Andy Gray doesn't believe that George has exhausted his talents, and that he can bring a League Two team to the Premier League within three years.How can it be a fluke to sum up the coach who led the League One team to win the League Cup and the FA Cup in succession.

"George's pressure must be the greatest now. In the first four games, he only got two draws and two losses. This is a bad result. It can be said that George is the worst coach of Blackburn in the past eight years." Martin Taylor also sighed.

At this time, George couldn't sit still anymore and walked to the sidelines.He made a steady gesture with both hands, and beckoned Miku to come over.

"John, don't worry. Kick slowly and show your strength." George grabbed Miku and explained to Miku. "You go up boldly, whether it's shooting or passing the ball. Tell Anderson and Crowder to let them cooperate to protect your back. Don't have so many worries."

"And then go out there and tell Robert, Damien, Miro, let them run more."

Micoud is more adaptable to the English league than Pires. Of course, this is related to Micoud's excellent physical fitness.Micoud is not afraid of too many collisions, as long as he adapts to the rhythm of English football, he will play much better.

After hearing George's words, Miku began to lose some worries.Deco, on the other hand, paid more attention to defense, protecting Micoud behind him.Under the leadership of Micoud, Blackburn's offense has improved a lot.Micoud kept passing the ball in the frontcourt, mobilizing Tottenham's defense with his excellent passing.

Micoud's outstanding performance benefited both Pires and Duff a lot.Blackburn's offensive suddenly became violent.

However, Graham himself is a master of defense, and Blackburn has no way to take Tottenham for a while.Blackburn didn't find a good way to break Tottenham's goal until the end of the first half.

George didn't criticize them for conceding a goal at halftime.Instead, praise them for what they did in the first half and then tell them to keep going in the first half.

"Duff, the cross... Klose, what a pity... the ball went wide of the goal!"

"Miku... shot from a long distance! It was blocked by the goalkeeper."

"Micoud... Pires, shoot!"

"Maybe conceding a goal woke up the Blackburn players. Since conceding a goal in the first half, Blackburn suddenly started to attack a lot. Especially Micoud in the midfield, he performed particularly well. "

"If there had been such a performance, Blackburn would not be one goal behind now."

In the second half, Blackburn almost played the best attack of the season.It turned out to be a mad attack around Tottenham in White Hart Lane.When Miku showed his power, even Pires next to him was greatly affected.Because of Micoud's excellent scheduling and passing, Pires can comfortably hold the ball.

Pires definitely does not lack strength, especially the first-class technology.In the past, he was unable to show his strength entirely because Pires could not adapt to England's fast style of play.But Micoud used his own strength to control the rhythm, which also gave Pires a chance to adapt.

George watched the progress of the game anxiously from the sidelines. Although this game is currently behind, it is the game George is most satisfied with.Being able to press Tottenham, Micoud, Deco and even Pires on the left all played well.

But no matter how strong Graham is, at least the current Tottenham players are not as strong as the original Arsenal players.Relying on the strength of the five veterans of the defense, Graham could play defensive counterattacks very easily.And the ugliest counter-attack because those defenders have that quality.

But the current Tottenham players are not that strong.

"It's Micoud again...Micoud passing the ball... Duff has the ball, Duff is very fast. He's already breaking in, passing the ball... There's a big gap in the middle, Klose!"

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!!!!!!!" Martin Taylor almost suffocated.Although this season has just reached the fifth round of the Premier League, but this is the second time for Martin Taylor to explain the Blackburn game.

Blackburn's performance this season has been unsatisfactory. Watching Blackburn's game, Martin Taylor can't see that this is George's team.

At 72 minutes, Tottenham, which seemed to fit together, finally had a gap.Micoud passed the ball very cleverly, and Duff got in knowingly.After entering the small penalty area, Duff did not take credit and passed to the middle. Klose just pushed lightly against a big empty goal and equalized the score.

Klose also scored George's first goal after coaching Blackburn and George's team's first goal in the Premier League.

Klose is very excited, these days, George has been the biggest attack of Blackburn fans.Of course, it was Klose who was attacked the most by the way.After Klose scored, he made three forward rolls on the field.The excitement was palpable.

George also waved his fist on the court, and this goal means a lot to George.Although very excited, George still made the team play steadily.

Blackburn was also aggressive in the final stage, but in the end they still failed to break through Tottenham's goal again.Finally accepted a score of one to one.But it was Blackburn's best performance of the season.

After the game, George showed a smiling face at the press conference for the first time, and praised his players.If others saw it, they thought Blackburn had won.

In the sixth round of the Premier League, Blackburn faced Everton away.Blackburn also performed very well in this game, but Makelele in the midfield did not find the feeling.In the end, it was two to two and got a tie again.

Makelele has not yet fully adapted to the midfielder, and will always lose his position in the midfielder position.Although with Deco's help, Makelele's position is the most important.

However, there have been media analysis, George's Blackburn began to restore strength.And the status is starting to pick up.

However, four draws and two losses in the six rounds only accumulated four points.Nottingham Forest also accumulated four points, but Blackburn's goal difference is negative, but it is also higher than Nottingham Forest, so it ranks second to last.
