coach legend

Chapter 160

George, supported by Williams, finally let out a long sigh of relief.

Now is the most difficult moment for George. Fans do not welcome him, reporters do not welcome him, and players question themselves.

The problem in the locker room is the biggest problem. Once the players lose confidence in the coach, the coach will not be able to let these players play their best.George is now facing such a problem.If this situation continues, then Blackburn will really become a mess.

George is very thankful to Jack Walker and Williams for being so tough on George in such a difficult time.

This is not only for those media reporters, but also for the current Blackburn dressing room.For those players.

George's handsome position is stable, and it will be much smoother to control the locker room.And with the support of the club's top management, George also needs to give some support to his players.

Since Williams supported George at the press conference, George, who has always been relatively low-key this season, has frequently appeared in the media.

"John, he's not Zidane. He's Micoud, John Micoud!"

"John is one of the two best attacking midfielders born in France since Platini. One of them is Zidane. John is no worse than Zidane, no matter what aspect John is. Dane is also the best attacking midfielder of this era. If there is some gap, it is that John is not as lucky as Zidane. If John can also be in a giant team like Juventus, then there will be no such thing now Many people have questioned John."

"I started as a youth team coach, and I have had a coaching career for nearly ten years. John is definitely one of the most talented attacking midfielders I have ever seen. You have no reason to doubt his strength."

In front of the media, George also supported Miku, who had been questioned before.

Micoud is indeed very strong, and he is an absolute genius midfielder.But Micoud does not have the big heart of Ballack, who was coached by George before. Ballack has the tenacity unique to German players.Therefore, even if Barack is questioned by the media, he will not be shaken in the slightest.He has a strong heart, any competition, any doubt will not have much impact on him.

But Miku is different, Miku is a bit introverted.People are very sensitive and easily influenced by the outside world.In recent days, the vicious attacks from the media have caused Miku's mood to fluctuate greatly.

But fortunately, Miku's English is average. If his English is good, he wouldn't be so angry after seeing the comments in the newspapers.

So George came out specifically to support Miku, to support Miku.

"It is my luck in my coaching career to be able to coach John. Blackburn is a great fortune to have John. It is an honor for Premier League fans to see John's genius performance live. It is the Premier League's honor to attract talented players like John to play in the Premier League. glory."

George said many things in a row, all about how good Miku is.

After George became the head coach, he did not know how many players he praised.But it is definitely rare to praise a player so much this time.

But for a player like Micoud, he needs strong support like George.

…………

In a team, the head coach is the most important.This is definitely not talking about it. When Williams expressed that the club's top management firmly believed in George, the team's uneasy atmosphere immediately improved a lot.

During training a few days ago, many players were careless.Even those players that George single-handedly picked and then entered the main lineup are the same.The same goes for Micoud, Pires, and Makelele, who George has high hopes for.

Because they are all thinking about what the new coach will think after George, the coach who admired them, leaves.How his tactics change, these are things they need to consider.But now that George's position is suddenly stable, their hearts are also at ease.

In the ninth round of the Premier League, Blackburn faced Middlesbrough at home.

Middlesbrough ranked No.3 in League One last season, but performed well in the play-offs.After the play-offs, they were promoted to the Premier League together with Burnley and Nottingham Forest.

Among the three clubs that were promoted to the Premier League last season, the best performer is now Middlesbrough.Nottingham Forest now has only six points, only two points higher than George's Blackburn.Ranked No.2 from the bottom of the Premier League, it is also the favorite team to be relegated from the Premier League this season.

Burnley, who swept the League One teams in League One and returned to the Premier League, did not perform best this season.Under the leadership of Rodell, Burnley ranked No. 14 in the Premier League.Not too strong, not too weak.

Of course, compared to the performance of sweeping the League One team last season and winning the League Cup final and the FA Cup final one after another, this season's performance is very problematic.

Only Middlesbrough have performed quite well in the Premier League.Now ranked No.8 in the Premier League, very competitive.

In this game, George won an absolute main force, Flores.Then Flores was replaced by Cudicini, and no one objected at this time.Although some people are very unconvinced, after all, it is not Flores' responsibility to concede so many goals.More of it is Makelele's responsibility, but everyone thinks that George is looking for a scapegoat.

In fact, George never thought about finding a scapegoat. Even if he did, it would be George's problem.George actually wanted Cudicini to be the main goalkeeper a long time ago, but he has never had a good excuse.Losing these two games in a row gave him an excuse instead.

It may be that the news conference that Williams died to protect George affected the fans, or Blackburn fans have no interest in booing George.George was not booed much by the Blackburn fans in the ninth round at Ewood Park.

Although there was not much applause, there were not many boos either.

In fact, George is very incomprehensible to England fans.Blackburn fans hate George very much, and are also very disappointed with the current Blackburn.When they went to the home court to watch the game, they booed and booed.

But even so, since the start of the Premier League, the attendance rate of Ewood Park has always been around 90.00% five to 96.Although it can't be compared with Old Trafford and Highbury's 90.00% attendance at nine o'clock.But the attendance rate is also very high.

George didn't understand that they hated George and Blackburn under George so much.There are still so many home fans, their purpose is to scold George and boo the team.

England fans?The famously fanatical England fans really live up to their reputation.

If you switch to a team from another country, such home performance and an unpopular coach like George, the attendance rate is unimaginable.

Compared with the last game where the Blackburn players lost their minds and had no way to face Leicester City, I don't know how much better.The cooperation in the frontcourt is also very good. Pires, Micoud and others have gradually begun to adapt to the Premier League.

But I don't know what's going on, it's always a hair's breadth away from the goal.Facing the powerful Middlesbrough, they were unable to break through the gate of Middlesbrough in the end.

In the end, George could only accept a draw again. George was tired of both draw and loss.But now Blackburn has not been able to pierce that layer of window paper.

At the end of the nine rounds of the league, Blackburn has five draws and four losses, and currently only has five points.

George is also considering the current situation of Blackburn.Several Blackburn players have begun to adapt to the rhythm of the Premier League.Including Pires, who has been unable to enter the state for a long time, has rarely lost those inexplicable balls.He's getting better every day in terms of receiving, passing, passing.

And Micoud, who was trained by George, is getting more and more adapted to the Premier League game, and will not lose the ball because of the delay of the fighter.But Blackburn has been unable to score and has been unable to win.There must be a reason for this, so George also thought hard about the solution.

Blackburn now lacks a murderous look, a belief in victory.After the ninth round of the Premier League game, George once again canceled the practice of resting on the second day of the game regardless of the mentality of the players.

But no one dared to raise an objection with George at this juncture.George's complexion has been bad these days. George is stressed and in a bad mood, and everyone knows it.If they were still calculating when George would leave get out of class a few days ago, now George's position has suddenly become stable.

If at this time, anyone who doesn't have the eyesight to compete with George will really have his head flooded.

Those players cannot rest the next day, and it is impossible not to complain in their hearts.But no one showed it on the surface.

But George has to be like this, so Blackburn still has an important game in the tenth round.That is Manchester United at Old Trafford to face Ferguson.George, who had just been beaten [-]-[-] by Arsenal, was unwilling to lose face again at Old Trafford.

Ferguson's Manchester United is the most prestigious team in England since the establishment of the Premier League.So far, apart from Blackburn and Arsenal, the remaining Premier League titles have been won by Manchester United.

And George knows that Manchester United this season is the most prosperous season since Ferguson took over Manchester United, winning the Triple Crown.In the 21st century, Manchester United has a large number of fans around the world and this season's triple crown is inseparable.

There is no doubt that such Manchester United is strong, but George is unwilling to endure another zero-to-eight insult.

Manchester United is strong, but Blackburn is not weak either.George knows that the current Blackburn just hasn't exerted his full strength. When it comes to his own strength, he can definitely be number one among the major teams in the Premier League.

…………

George came to the stadium early the next day, waiting for the players.After everyone arrived, George stood in front and watched the group of players.

"Actually, I am very disappointed. You look at your results. I feel ashamed for you. I am embarrassed to say this kind of results in nine rounds of five draws and four losses. Five points, I have been a coach for more than three years. This is the first time such an ugly result has been achieved.”

Being scolded early in the morning, no one is in a good mood.The same goes for these players. They looked at George's gloomy face and kept cursing in their hearts.We are ashamed, and you should be even more ashamed as a coach.

"You know my Burnley, how much money I used to build it. I tell you, if you count the transfer fee I sold halfway. I have made money for the club in the transfer of players in three years. ...Of course not counting that, I have completed the rebuilding of a team at Burnley for less than £400 million."

Many people were dumbfounded. Could it be that this coach still likes to boast.

"But I led Burnley to the Carling Cup and the FA Cup. I was leading a League One club for less than £400m and won the Carling Cup and the FA Cup. But Look at you guys, I spent over £2000m. But what about the results? Five points, bottom of the Premier League."

"I'm ashamed to read the papers now and see you guys are worth millions of pounds. But look, six games in the league and only three goals. Conceding goals? That's what your £2000 million players give you. results."

"You guys are not even as good as my £400million team, do you know why?"

"Let me tell you, I am a cheapskate. It may be related to the small club I came from. I never want to be taken advantage of when I buy players. Let me tell you, since I use 2000 million pounds to rebuild Blackburn, it shows your respect. The strength is enough for 2000 million pounds."

"Your strength is far better than the Burnley I coached before. It's like a gap of 2000 million pounds and 400 million pounds. I led Burnley to beat Chelsea and Arsenal one after another, not because of how good I am. It's because Burnley's strength itself is not much lower than theirs. And your strength, let me tell you, your strength is already on par with Arsenal."

"But why Burnley were able to beat Arsenal, but you were beaten [-]-[-] by Arsenal."

Zero to eight is a shame in George's life.George will definitely keep this shame in mind, and George hopes that his players will also keep this shame in mind.

"I'm here to give you a word now, that's because you don't have a strong heart here. You always feel that Blackburn is a weak team in your heart, and you always have no confidence in your own strength."

"I can tell you clearly that your strength is very strong. Your strength is not weaker than Manchester United and Arsenal, as long as you have enough confidence in yourself. Then it is not a dream for us to beat any team in the Premier League. "

"Is Manchester United strong? Is Arsenal strong? We are not weaker than Manchester United and Arsenal. As long as you have a strong heart, we can beat Manchester United and Arsenal!"

"The important thing now is whether you dare to think about it! Do you have the arrogance to beat Manchester United and Arsenal!"

What George has to do now is to give the Blackburn players more confidence and let them come out of the shadow of zero to eight as soon as possible.

"Okay, today is mainly about resuming training. Carl, you can arrange it."

Leaving the stunned players behind, George walked to the sidelines and sat up.

Although many of the players that George bought were talented players with high self-esteem, none of them dared to think that Blackburn could beat Manchester United and Arsenal.Especially in the two months of the Premier League, let them understand the intensity of the Premier League.I also understand that mixing in the Premier League is by no means an easy task.

But today George told them instead that they are not weaker than Manchester United and Arsenal at all.If you dare to think, you can beat Manchester United and Arsenal.

This sounded a bit fanciful, but it surprised the Blackburn players.At the same time, it also made them have an alternative idea, can we really beat Manchester United and Arsenal?
