Chapter 210 Strong start

"No wonder George likes Klose so much. When he was at Burnley, he used Klose despite the rumors. When he arrived at Blackburn, no one brought him, only Klose."

Indeed, George's love for Klose has reached the point where many people can't see it.But George likes Klose, but his grades are also good, so others have nothing to do.

"In fact, if you analyze George's team carefully, you can find that Klose's role is still quite large. Klose controls the first point, and then creates space for Pires and Duff on the wing, and also inserts for the back. Micoud and Deco have the opportunity to shoot. Klose has done a very good job in this regard." Alan Hansen did not underestimate Klose as much as others.On the contrary, it is more appreciated.

"Klose's biggest problem now is that his scoring rate is too low. Since Burnley started, Klose has played more than 26 games. But Klose only scored [-] goals. The scoring rate is really unreasonable."

Mortensen's words were very tactful, and compared to some media, he was already giving George a lot of face.In fact, many media reporters completely mocked Klose's scoring rate.A reporter even invented a term called "defensive striker", which is the nickname given to Klose.

Blackburn's second goal was scored by the excellent Pires.It was a typical Blackburn goal, with Klose dropping back and the Coventry defender moving forward.Although it only moved forward a little bit, it gave enough space to the two sides.

After Klose retreated to get the ball, he pushed lightly with his left foot, and he had a very simple two-two with Pires on the left.

Pires took the ball directly into the small penalty area of ​​Coventry, facing the defending defender, a shot feint passed the goalkeeper and the defender, and then pushed his right foot and scored the second goal.

At 10:[-] minutes into the first half, Blackburn easily led Coventry [-]-[-].

After Pires scored, he came to Klose and gave Klose a bear hug.Although there are many criticisms of Klose outside, Pires likes Klose very much.Klose is very low-key, and the training is the hardest in Blackburn.

Of course, what is more important is that Pires knows that he scored more than ten goals as a full-back last season, completely at the expense of Klose in front.Klose's retracement benefits Pires and Duff the most.Give them enough sprint space to make their performance even better.

Therefore, Pires likes this low-key Klose very much.

See Pires goal, Coventry home fans booed one.But I don't know if they are booing their own team or Blackburn.

After leading by two goals, Blackburn did not pursue the victory.Of course, this is definitely not an order from George, but a decision made by Deco who controls the rhythm of the game.George is not the kind of coach who allows a talented player to play at will. George prefers the iron discipline of the German team.

When George was studying in China in his previous life, he knew a little bit.That is iron discipline can create a strong army.In fact, the team is no different from the army, the head coach is the general.To get a good grade, iron discipline is a must.

Therefore, George is a coach who emphasizes team discipline very much.So maybe George's team can't play true genius football.But the results will be very stable.

However, this does not mean that George will completely suppress those talented players. On the contrary, George trusts those players on the field very much.As long as they don't violate George's overall tactics, some individual performances of George within the tactics are encouraged.

Therefore, since George gave Deco the right to control the rhythm of the game, he would completely trust him.

After Deco scored two goals in the first three 10 minutes, he very consciously slowed down the pace of the game.Coventry hopes to be fast, because it is fast to be able to have a neutral position.Only then can they have the opportunity to win in chaos and allow their forwards to find opportunities.

After the pace of the game slowed down, Coventry was unable to grab the ball.Robbie Keane ran blindly in front, but because he couldn't get the ball, he was very depressed.Looking at George, who was carefree with his legs crossed on the court, he felt very uncomfortable.I was also thinking in my heart why George took Klose instead of taking himself away.

"Deco is really becoming more and more general. You see, after leading by two goals, he began to control the rhythm. Slow and slow, fast and fast, Deco's performance is really outstanding. If this season passes, I think Even if Deco is worth 1000 million pounds, George will not sell it." Mortenson praised Deco's performance.

"Yeah, Blackburn has become more mature this season. Look at the rhythm of the game, the speed is appropriate. The whole game is under Blackburn's control."

The commentators praised them, and George lavished them in the locker room.Everyone praised by name, and also praised the newcomer Ferdinand.In fact, Ferdinand almost did not perform in this game.

Coventry's original idea was to use Robbie Keane's personal ability to open up the situation ahead.It's a pity that after a season of training, Makelele has become more and more adapted to the position of the midfielder.Makelele is a player who plays with his head, using his defensive awareness to make up for his physical and speed disadvantages.

Therefore, it is not easy to walk on the ground, so I started to walk in the air.It's a pity that Hypia is the king of the air. How could Robbie Keane win Hypia.

So Ferdinand didn't have much chance to perform.But George ignored that and praised Ferdinand's performance.This made Ferdinand smile crookedly.I thought to myself, the coach George is not as difficult to get along with as reported by the media.

Coventry stepped up their fight in the second half.There are no bad guys in the Premier League, even in the face of the most powerful opponents.

They suddenly increased their attack speed, and the ball kept flying back and forth in the air.Once Blackburn wanted to have the ball, they fought like crazy.The pressure on Deco and Miku in the midfield increased greatly.

"Does George want to make changes?" Evan asked George gently.

"What do you think?" George smiled. "Coventry really thinks they are Superman. This kind of desperate full-court press, how much energy they have to squander. Don't worry, Anderson knows it well."

After being scrambled by Coventry's pressing for a few minutes, the Blackburn midfielder slowly adapted to this pressing.

Coventry wants to speed up the pace, and Blackburn is also tit for tat.Deco, Micoud, Pires, and Klose have also sped up the tempo, but it is not the crazy ball grabbing like Coventry.But pass the ball, Blackburn accelerated the speed of the pass.

Deco controlled the rhythm of the game before, slowing it down.

But now in Blackburn's midfield, the passing between them is starting to increase.Passing the ball non-stop, and they are all one-foot passes, plus they keep crossing positions.

George watched the change in midfield and couldn't help laughing.Deco this guy is really too smart.No matter how fierce you are in grabbing, is your speed as fast as football?

Coventry's idea is to win in chaos and want to completely mess up the rhythm of the game.It's a pity that they only messed up Blackburn's midfield for a while, and the defense was not messed up at all.But after Coventry's speed increased, their own defensive line was messed up first.

"... Micoud... a beautiful pass... Duff completely broke through the direction of Coventry, Duff did not greedy for credit... Micoud! Very classic cooperation, Micoud has already passed one shot in this game .Three to zero, the game is officially over."

"Suk...Shoot! It's a pity, if it is scored, it will be a very beautiful goal. Just now Su Ke used his famous stunt, and his beautiful left foot pulled the ball..."

"Bellamy...it's a complete dragon, it's a pity the shot didn't go in."

"If the goalkeeper hadn't played well, Coventry would have been sieved in this game."

Coventry's sudden acceleration in the second half did make Blackburn's midfield panic for a while.But in less than 15 minutes, their full-court press was beaten by Blackburn.

Strachan shook his head helplessly on the sidelines.Then he turned his head and looked at George, who was sitting there leisurely. The strength of the two teams was too different.In the matchup last season, Coventry still had some chances.Coventry invested more than 1000 million pounds this season, but found that the gap has become more and more obvious.

Speaking of it, the investment of the two teams this season is not much different. George seems to have invested a lot, but in fact he bought the substitute players with the money from selling them.The biggest change between the two sides is that Coventry has more Robbie Keane and Gary Breen, while Blackburn has more Ferdinand.

But in this game, Strachan found out that there was no chance at all.

And George was talking and laughing with Evan and Carl next to him.This game won too easily.

"When Blackburn won No.4 in the league last year, many people thought that Blackburn was at most a dark horse. But I would say that Blackburn is already a strong team, a strong team that can challenge the traditional order. They are now The challenge is for champions like Manchester United and Arsenal."

"Look at the game, Blackburn completely controlled the game from start to finish. Didn't give Coventry a chance... Look at George talking and laughing on the sidelines. I'm sure George won't rest on his laurels last season , Ferguson and Wenger will definitely pay attention to Blackburn's performance."

Mortensen praised the current Blackburn, and the referee's whistle also rang amidst Mortensen's praise.

A [-]-[-] victory over Coventry in the away game made a good start for this season.George was very happy, clapping his hands and standing up to greet his players.

"Good job, Anderson. Your performance can enter the national team." George patted Deco on the shoulder.Even if such a good performance is to enter the Brazil team, why not.

"Thank you, Head."
