Although Blackburn is a relegation zone team, its status in the eyes of the English media is completely different from other relegation teams.

Blackburn was a team that won the Premier League three years ago. Before Arsenal won the Premier League, Blackburn was the only team in Premier League history to win the Premier League championship except Manchester United. And the way Blackburn won the championship was criticized by many British football players at that time.

Unlike those traditional strong teams in the Premier League, Blackburn is with Jack. Walker's master, the champion piled up with money. In the process of rising, he was criticized by British footballers.

Shoot the first bird with a gun, no matter where in the world. Unlike traditional English giants such as Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal, Blackburn is a complete upstart. Therefore, many teams are very dissatisfied with Blackburn's rise.

However, when Blackburn fell in a straight line, many people in the British football world missed Blackburn's glory.

In addition, the current Blackburn head coach George was already a hot topic in English football when he was in the League One and League Two. He is not only the best local young coach in England in recent years, but also a coach surnamed Ge.

So Blackburn's recent excellent state has attracted a lot of attention from the English media.

"The away draw with Manchester United, the away victory over Newcastle, the consecutive victory over Southampton at home, and Xie Wednesday have achieved three wins and one draw in the last four games. It is the best team in the Premier League recently. From five draws and four losses in the first nine rounds to the last three wins and one draw, Blackburn has completely come out of the shadow at the beginning of the season.

"George is the starting coach of defense, which is something that everyone in British football knows. Although George's Burnley scored the most goals in League One, and even the most goals in the League Cup and the FA Cup, his tactics are a complete defensive counterattack.

"The role of several people in his midfielder is completely for his sidelines. Including Burnley's midfielder Barack at that time, he rarely passed a straight pass to break through the opponent's defense, and more importantly, he used his long pass to dispatch two sides. Burnley is more about the assault on the two sides, and the attack on Barak's back.

"And Burnley finally won the League Cup and FA Cup, relying entirely on strong defense and sharp counterattack. This is the tactic created by George in Burnley in three years. Although this tactic is criticized by others, it has brought the best results to Burnley.

"After George came to Blackburn, everyone thought that George would still be his best defensive counterattack tactic. But after so many rounds of competition, we can now see George's tactics in Blackburn. This is a completely different tactic to the current English football, and it is also an alternative to George's previous tactic in Burnley.

"George's current style of play is somewhat similar to the most commonly used 4-2-3-1 formation in continental Europe, but it is different from theirs. The midfielder Makelele is a purely defensive midfielder, and he hardly participates in any attack. As long as the ball is cut off, it will be handed over to the rest of the midfielder immediately. Of course, as the coach who started as a defensive coach, Deco, another midfielder, will also help Makelele defend. But Deko uses his own pass to assist the Miku in front and control the rhythm of the game.

"And the attack depends more on three people in the frontcourt, Mikku, Pirrey and Duff. All three of them are strong offensive and can pass and shoot. The single arrow Klose doesn't look like a striker. His main task is not to shoot. Instead, it uses frequent running to disrupt the opponent's defense and involve the opponent's defender players. Create a chance to shoot for Miku, Pires and Duff.

"Now Blackburn completely relies on the ball control ability of several players in the midfield to play an oppressive style. In Old Trafford, the possession rate exceeds that of Manchester United, although it has the influence of Manchester United players playing international games. But you can also see Blackburn's playing style.

"And in the next three games, Blackburn's possession rate is still very high. The average ball possession rate in three games is 60.4%, which is enough to see that George's transformation of Blackburn has almost been completed. George's Blackburn not only has excellent performance, but also plays beautifully.

"I'm looking forward to what Blackburn, which has begun to take shape, will play in the Premier League?"

The Sun actually began to analyze George's tactics. It was the head. After George read it, he almost didn't laugh. The Sun, you bastard newspaper. When George was in trouble, this newspaper was the most ridiculed and criticized. And their sarcasm is completely naked. When they criticized George, they were merciless.

Now that Blackburn's grades are good, the first one to change his attitude is this tabloid. The Sun, no matter what else, they have only one goal. It is how to raise the attention of readers, and they will report any news if there is an explosion.

Of course, this is a common problem for all media, not just the Sun. When George's grades were not good, the media fell into the well one after another. But now that Blackburn's grades have come up, those media have begun to say good things about George and Blackburn.

Those newspapers, media, and many football commentators who vowed that Blackburn would be relegated this season have now changed their style.

George left these newspapers on the table. As the results improved, George also saw the faces of these newspapers. Although George knew a long time ago that the competitive circle is a hero in terms of victory or defeat. As long as your grades are not good, no matter what kind of grades you have achieved before, you will be forgotten.

When I was a coach in Burnley, after all, I was in the lower league. The attention is still not high, and George can build his own team in a relaxed environment. But the Premier League is indeed different. Everything is in the magnifying glass of the media.

George has fully experienced what it means to be cold and warm this season. In the summer, George is still the best young local coach in England. But in the next two months, George was ridiculed by everyone. Almost everyone said that George was exhausted and that George was the brightest meteor in British football.

Therefore, George can be completely spoiled by the comments of the media.

However, for a person's praise, George expressed his gratitude through the Blackburn Evening News.

That's the King of Liverpool and Blackburn's meritorious coach, Dalglish. Dalglish is a legend in British football, both as a player and as a coach.

Dalglish made his debut in the Celtics in Scotland, and he was the top scorer in the Celtics. In Scotland, he won five league titles, four Scottish Cups and one League Cup, scoring a total of 167 goals.

Later, he came to Liverpool. In that red era, Dalglish became one of the most brilliant stars in Liverpool's Red Dynasty. He came to Liverpool instead of Keegan, who left. In Liverpool, he became a striker and made great contributions to Liverpool.

Of course, if that's all, he can't have such a status in Liverpool and British football.

Dalglish later became Liverpool's coach, leading Liverpool to win League One championships one after another. If it hadn't been for the later Hilzburg tragedy, Dalglish would have led Liverpool to win more championships.

And Dalglish's legend is not over. After he left Liverpool, he arrived at Blackburn. At that time, Blackburn was still in the second division of England, but Dalglish led Blackburn not only back to the Premier League, but also became the Premier League champion in the 94-95 season.

With his excellent results, Dalglish is not only the king of Liverpool fans. He is also the favorite coach of Blackburn fans. So far, Blackburn fans have been missing the Dalglish era.

After coaching Newcastle United for more than a year, Dalglish is now idle at home. However, it has always been a simple and simple house, and there is no big news. I didn't expect to come out to support George this time.

"George is the most talented young coach I have ever seen, and Blackburn has formed a combat effectiveness under George."

"Although Blackburn's current ranking is not high, this is only temporary. Blackburn has finished running in, and it's time to make achievements. And now Blackburn, under George, has an unprecedented ability to control the game. It's the most promising team I've ever seen.

"Inviting George as coach Blackburn is the best move Mr. Walker has taken. George is not a regular coach. He can adapt to local conditions. In Burnley, he has created a series of excellent results with defensive counterattacks. In Blackburn, he will also achieve a good result with his unique oppressive style.

"For Blackburn fans, I think they should give George some time and some trust. I believe that George will bring them rewards that they can't imagine.

As Blackburn's meritorious coach, Dalglish's support is not a star in the benefits to George. In his column, Dalglish admires George very much.

George can't care about other media reports, but George can't ignore Dalglish's praise. Therefore, in the newspaper, George first praised Dalglish's achievements in Blackburn. Then I thanked Dalglish for his praise.

George, who grew up in China in his previous life, wrote this kind of thank-you letter.

Of course, not all the media appreciate George, and many newspapers continue to criticize George. Mark. Laurenson expressed doubts about George's three-game winning streak. In his opinion, George's three-game winning streak is not very valuable. Facing two weak teams at home, two victories are not worth touted.

But after all, a three-game winning streak is a three-game winning streak. The doubts about George are just a few newspapers that have a grudge against George.
