Chapter 161

After the ninth round of the Premier League, there will be national team competitions.So George has nearly two weeks to adjust and train.

Affected by Blackburn's record, the number of Blackburn's international players has dropped sharply this time.Hypia and Duff are very easy to talk about. After all, the national team is of average strength and needs them.However, the French national team, which has produced a large number of talents, was not originally the absolute main player Pires, and Micoud, Makelele, Sagnol, Gallas and others who worked hard to enter the national team were all unsuccessful.

Not to mention Deco and Klose, the German team doesn't care about a German player who is working hard in the Premier League.Unless it can show the same strength as the original Ballack, the German national team will not pay attention to Klose.

And Deco is very sad, although he has joined the Portuguese nationality.But Deco, as a native Brazilian, must be the first choice of the Brazilian team.It's a pity what team Brazil is, it is the kingdom of world football.Their problem has never been that there are not enough good players, but that there are too many good players.

They have too many choices, so many players will not be able to enter the Brazilian team for the rest of their lives.Therefore, many people can only change their nationality and join other national teams in order to realize their dream of a World Cup.This is the problem with Deco now. The Brazilian national team now has many good players in this position.

Deco?He wants to join the Brazil national team?Everyone laughed.

But none other than Van Bronckhorst was the most depressing.After being switched to left back by George, Van Bronckhorst's performance is relatively good among the current Blackburn players.Van Bronckhorst is absolutely capable and adaptable.

Compared with Makelele who has not fully entered the state of the midfielder until now, although Van Bronckhorst has a lot of opinions on changing to left back, he still plays vigorously.But unfortunately, Blackburn's performance was too poor during this time.With the addition of Van Bronckhorst's switch to left back, Van Bronckhorst's name was not included in the Dutch squad this time.

This made Van Bronckhorst very depressed, and he was also quite dissatisfied with George.But it's not good to show attitude in front of George. George has been in a bad mood recently, and he doesn't want to run into a wall.

As George himself said, George is still young.There are almost 30 more years as a coach, but not so much time as a player Van Bronckhorst.If he really fell out with George and George let him sit on the bench for a season or two, his career would be ruined.

So in the past two weeks, George has been running the team.And for Manchester United, these two weeks are too important for George.

…………

On October [-], the tenth round of the Premier League kicked off at Old Trafford.Blackburn face Manchester United away.

After being beaten [-]-[-] by Arsenal, Manchester United were not affected.On the contrary, in the last three games, the state is hot.First, they beat Liverpool [-]-[-] at home, and then beat Southampton [-]-[-] away.In the last round, they defeated Milton [-]-[-] at home.

He has scored twelve goals in the last three games and is in a hot state.It is the best Premier League team in recent times.

At this time, the match day of the national team that Ferguson hates the most has arrived, which is different from a small team like Blackburn.Most of the Manchester United players are members of the national team.From goalkeepers, defenders to midfielders and forwards, they are the main players of the national teams of various countries.Even the players on Manchester United's bench are the main members of the national teams of various countries, so on the national team match day, Manchester United's training ground is empty.

Ferguson must pray at this time that his players must not be injured.I also pray that my players will not be too tired.

Instead, George would like to thank this rare free time, not only for disrupting Manchester United's excellent state.Give yourself time to adjust your team.

"Three years ago, this would have been a major event in the Premier League. At that time, Manchester United was the strongest team in the Premier League, and Blackburn was gradually reaching the top under the leadership of Dalglish. Three years passed in a flash. But Manchester United are still the strongest team in the Premier League and Blackburn are not what they used to be."

"Blackburn has been hovering in the relegation zone for the past three years. Last season, it was able to relegation with a two-point advantage. This season, Blackburn has fallen to the bottom. The nine rounds of the league only accumulated five points. It is the bottom-ranked team in the Premier League. In the seventh round, they were beaten [-]-[-] by Arsenal. It can be said that the current state of Blackburn is extremely poor."

"This away game against Manchester United seems to be more or less ominous."

The commentator is not optimistic about the current Blackburn at all, after all, Blackburn's state is extremely poor.

"There is another point to watch in this game, because Ronnie Johnson had a minor injury and was not included in the squad for the game by Ferguson. Henning Berg, one of Blackburn's championship feats, played in his place. Berg was the main player when Blackburn won the championship and moved to Manchester United for 500 million pounds last year. He is an important rotation player for Manchester United."

At this time, George has already made the final tactical arrangements and mobilization for the players in the locker room.

"Manchester United's two wings are very characteristic. Giggs' breakthrough is sharp, and Beckham's cross is accurate. Although Beckham's speed and technique are not the best, he is not bad. So I only think about how to defend the two sides. We are quite passive on the wing. So don’t think about how to limit their wing, but control their center.”

"Manchester United's midfield today is Keane and Scholes. Although there are two people, Keane is a strong defender and a good position. Scholes is a good passer and a long-range shooter. .His biggest feature is the attack from behind."

"Claude, I have told you many times. Your position is here, you don't think about other things. You just give me this position firmly, don't let Scholes and Beckham Enter this position. This is your task, which is to protect the back of John and Anderson, and not let them face our back line." Although Makelele has not fully adapted to the position of the midfielder, he has gradually found the feeling .

But this position in this game is too important, so George once again emphasized Makelele's responsibilities.

"John, you have to face Keane head-on in this game. Don't get entangled with him, you will lose if you get entangled with him. Don't forget that your task is not to tangle with him, but to drive the offense of the entire team. Therefore, on the field Don't fight him hard, always observe the position of our own players and the opponent's space."

"Anderson, your task is heavy. To deal with Manchester United, especially against their wing, we must keep our wing alive. That requires not only John's threatening pass, but also your dispatch on the field. Keane will definitely focus on John, and you should be under less pressure. So you have to make full use of the width of the field and let Robert and Damien get the ball."

The reason why George chose Micoud and Deco is because they can both be the core of a team.Both of them are players with excellent skills and excellent passing. It is difficult to defend both of them.Although at the beginning, because they did not adapt to the rhythm of English football, it was difficult to play their dual-core role.But after two months, they have gradually adapted to the English football style.

"Robert, Damien, the two of you have a heavy task in this game. Manchester United's two full-backs are Gary Neville and Dennis Irving. Damien, although Dennis Irving is strong, but after all, he is old. There. Use speed, speed is the best way to deal with him. Robert, Gary Neville may be more fierce defensively. But don't be afraid, use technique, don't play rough with him, use your technique."

Pires and Duff, George believes that they are not weaker than Giggs and Beckham's wing combination.It's just that Pires has not fully adapted to the English game now, and Duff is still too young.So not as famous as Giggs and Beckham.

"Finally, I ask you to run. You have to run all over the court, and use running to separate them. When defending, you have to run, and you have a numerical advantage in a small area. When attacking, you also need to run. Their defense. Manchester United players have participated in international competitions, and their physical strength is not as good as ours. We are currently inferior to Manchester United in every aspect. Use your running to make up for this little gap. Manchester United is nothing special, as long as you play yours Strength, we can beat Manchester United as well."

George finally smacked hard on the tactical board.In order to prepare for the battle with Manchester United, George has prepared for a full two weeks.

"Do you still remember zero to eight?" George stood in the middle, took a breath and said slowly: "After I became a coach, that was the biggest humiliation I have ever experienced. I am too embarrassed to go out to meet people, no Sorry to see friends. Zero to eight, what a big shame it is."

"Did you forget that zero to eight?"

"How is it possible, head. Since I became a player, it is also the first time I have been beaten zero to eight." Hendry stood up and shook his head.

Hendry was dissatisfied with George in his heart, not only for cleaning so many players.It even made Flores a scapegoat and sat on the bench.But now that Blackburn is on the edge of a cliff, Hendry must protect and cooperate with George.

Williams also specifically found Hendry and told Hendry that George would never dismiss get out of class.I hope Hendry can assist George well.

"Yes, how can this kind of shame be forgotten. This is a shame for our entire life, and I hope you can all remember it firmly in your heart."

"I met Manchester United today. Manchester United and Arsenal are a team of the same level. I hope you can tell everyone with your outstanding performance in the Manchester United game. The zero to eight is just an accident. Do you want to wash away the shame? !"

"Think! Think!"

George nodded.

"Okay, let's play. Don't forget, you must have a strong heart. As long as you have a strong heart, you can defeat any opponent."
