178 England goalkeeper

Although they want to compress the defense, Deko and Miku, including Pires and Duff, are not real defenders. Their characteristics can only be brought into full play in the attack.

Looking at the defense after Deko and Miku retreated, George shook his head.

In these days, let them practice how to attack. If they cooperate, they also let them practice how to defend.

If you face Manchester United and Arsenal now, George can't believe that he can completely suppress them in the midfield. They can also attack them oppressively. After all, the midfield strength of both their teams is superior. Last time at Old Trafford, I relied entirely on the sudden and physical problems of Manchester United players that I was able to retreat completely.

Facing those strong teams again, we should not only find a way in the attack. There can't be any problems even in defense.

Rebuild Blackburn and forget your own line. I am a coach who came from defensive counterattack. I forget everything and should not forget the defense.

Although

is compressed space, Owen's performance is still quite active. George looked at that Makelele had lost all confidence in front of Owen, so he shook his head.

"Owen, come here." George waved to Hargreaves.

"Have you seen Owen? I think you should know him." George grabbed Hargreaves. Owen is so active that he must not let it go like this. After playing, he followed Owen. If he enters the restricted area, don't worry about him, but once he is outside the restricted area, keep an eye on him. Don't let him turn around casually and use your body against him. If it doesn't work, use a foul. Anyway, no matter what method is used to stop Owen, it is a victory.

Hargreaves listened to George's words and nodded. I am also quite proud.

Speaking of which, there is actually a midfielder in the bench. It's David trained in Blackburn Youth Training Camp. Dunn, after being promoted to the first team this season, he is still highly valued by George. The number of appearances far exceeded that of Hargreaves, and Hargrifski was just warming up in the last few minutes of garbage time.

David. Although Dunn played more times than Hargrift, he also played at garbage time. It is only when the team gets more than two goals in the lead to get the playing time.

Now that the team is at a disadvantage, George's first thought of David. Dunn, but himself. Hargreaves is very happy about this alone. This shows that he has a higher status than Dunn in George's heart.

In the 36th minute of the first half, George replaced No. 24 Macleley with No. 13 Hargreaves. This is also the first time that Makelele has been replaced in the game, and even before the end of the first half.

"George replaced Maclelei, and the performance of Maclelele in this game was really bad. The Liverpool midfielder gave him almost no pressure, but only Owen made him embarrassed. I lost my position several times. Fortunately, Liverpool's midfielder gave less pressure in this game, otherwise Blackburn's defense would have collapsed long ago.

"George's replacement player is Hargreaves, and he will be 18 years old in more than two months. He used to be a player of the Bayern Munich youth team, but this season George dug up from the Bayern Munich youth team. The playing time this season adds up to less than 30 minutes. I don't know what it means for George to replace him?

Hargreaves is really an unknown person. It used to be just a youth team at Bayern. I haven't been to Blackburn a few times. They all played at the end of the game. Therefore, even the senior commentator does not know about Hargreaves. Except for those cold sets of information and data.

"Irving. Hargreaves? Midfielder? 17 years old?" Holier looked at Hargreaves's information and said to himself.

Hollior knows a lot about Blackburn, and many of their players have conducted special research. But this Hargreaves? Where did it come from? I don't know his technical style and characteristics at all.

"Claude, sit here. Just sit here and watch the game, think about your position and how you should defend. George nodded to Makelele.

It is very uncomfortable for the player to be replaced in the first half. But George did not comfort Makelele, because his performance was really bad.

"Claude, do you know why I asked you to hit the back?" George looked at the depressed Macleley and asked coldly. MacLei looked up at George, which was also MacLei's doubtful. Because the back is not only enough for the body. I want you to play the back to let you play the ball with your brain. The smartest defensive player will not run with the ball. Instead, it will stand in place and prevent the ball from passing by. This is what people say about consciousness.

"Watch the game below and think about where the back should stand."

Hargreaves cherishes this opportunity very much. He spent a year and a half in Bayern's youth team, and the coach of Bayern Munich's youth team is still very important to Hargreaves. If it weren't for the first-team game, of course, Hargreaves would not have left the familiar Bayern youth team.

Hargreaves got George's promise. But in the past six months since I came to Blackburn, I haven't had a few opportunities to play. Although he was a little resentful, Hargreaves had been meticulous during his training. He was waiting for an amazing moment.

"Du--"

"It seems that Hargreaves is specially designed to defend Owen."

Hargreaves was very excited to see Owen pull out of the penalty area and catch the ball again. After going up, he knocked the person over directly. Hargreaves is not very strong, but he is already very strong than Owen.

The referee quickly whistled, indicating that Hargreaves had fouled.

But Hargreaves shrugged his shoulders and ran back directly to Owen, who was lying on the ground.

"Beautiful, that's it." George watched Hargreaves' foul and patted his thigh off the court.

Compared with Macleley, Hargreaves is much better in physical fitness. Fast, strong, and tough feet. Therefore, when defending Owen, it sticks like a dog skin plaster. Once Owen shows signs of someone, he will directly foul.

"It seems that Hargreaves came on the field with George's mission. In less than ten minutes, he had three fouls against Owen. The young foul is measured, and it is not easy for the referee to play cards.

Hargreaves's stalking style makes Owen very uncomfortable. Owen, who broke through in the middle, had no choice but to avoid Hargreaves and came to the left. I wanted to cooperate with McManaman, but Hargreaves got George's instructions. Unless Owen enters the restricted area, as long as he is outside the restricted area, he is in the care of Hargreaves.

Hargreaves specializes in taking care of Owen, and Deko came to fill the position at the back waist. Although Deko's personal defensive ability is not as good as those defensive backs. But the one-to-man defense is still very good.

When he saw his golden boy being bullied by Hargreaves like this, the whole audience booed everywhere.

Owen's dumb fire reduced Liverpool's attack power by half. It also gave Blackburn a chance to fight back.

However, the first half is coming to an end, and because of Deko's retreat, Miku can only retreat to organize the attack. In this way, it has become a problem in attack.

Blackburn's attack power is concentrated on the right side of Liverpool and the right side guarded by Carragher. Pires and Duff changed positions and attacked this in turn.

"Pyre, he passed Carragher... passed the cross... The ball was so deep that it was directly given to James."

Towards the end of the first half of the game, Pires passed to the middle again. But the ball was floating, so I went straight to James.

Close, who was ready to grab the point, and Miku, who was plugged in, shook their heads.

"Oh, what is this?"

This is a ball that can't be easier, and James did jump off the ball easily. But the accident happened at this time. James may have wanted to take the ball quickly, but he didn't expect to hit his hands in his knee.

A mistake, a huge mistake. James pushed the ball out of his hand with his knee.

Miku, who was just sighing, was surprised to see the ball coming to his feet. And there is no one next to him. All Liverpool defenders have moved forward and are ready to attack.

Miku looked at Nuo Da's empty door and pushed and shot rudely.

"This is simply an amateur mistake, James! Such an amateur mistake actually appeared in James. No, it really shouldn't be." The commentator was surprised, the players on the court were surprised, and even George looked at it in surprise.

Miku laughed at James's big gift. James's big gift made Blackburn equalize the score before the end of the mountain half.

Hollyr threw the mineral water in his hand angrily on the sidelines. Seeing James's low-level error performance, Holler's determination to sell James was firm again. Holier didn't like Liverpool's players, including Red Knapp and James.

"Is this the future gate of England? Ha ha ha!"

George shook his head. After Seaman, England will usher in a ten-year shortage of goalkeepers. Whether it is James in front of us or later Carson and Green, they just add a lot of jokes to world football. Until Joe. With the appearance of Hart, the gates of England stabilized.

This is the butter hand, the goalkeeper's low-level mistake, George encountered for the first time since he became the head coach.

Although George is an Englishman now, he has no sense of belonging to England. I don't care about the performance of the England national team and the performance of the England national team. Best of all, the goalkeepers of Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool are all such leaks.

If it hadn't been for James's low-level mistake, how could Blackburn have equalized the score before the end of the first half?
