188 Winter Transfer

Blackburn's achievements during this period were a little turbulent, and some of the arguments that had long disappeared were resurrung up.

Some people also criticize George's team leader. Many people say that George doesn't know how to rotate the lineup reasonably and use the main lineup to death. Up to now, it has basically been a main lineup game, resulting in the current main force being relatively tired. Of course, many people think that George's lack of experience in England's top leagues will fluctuate in the winter.

Anyway, the newspaper's opinion is one thing that George is inexperienced in coaching in the top leagues. The difficulties of the winter break were not taken into account.

In fact, George is also reflecting on this now. George did not consider the difficulties of the winter break. The lack of cruel consideration for the top league.

"Coach Levy, Blackburn is not in good shape now. There seems to be something wrong with your team? After entering December, Blackburn's condition did decline a lot.

Blackburn has achieved two wins, two draws and two losses in the last six games. Compared with the previous six consecutive wins, the state has been repeated. So these reporters want to hear what George, the hard-mouthed coach, will say.

"Is there a problem? What's the problem?" George shrugged his shoulders and said carelessly, "Didn't you say that Blackburn was a relegation team before? Two wins, two draws and two losses in six games seem to be enough to relegation.

The reporter slandered in his heart that your team was a relegation team. Didn't you keep saying that your goal is not to avoid relegation? This man speaks shamelessly.

George looked at the reporter smoking from his nostrils and said with a smile, "Actually, the recent criticism of the media has also proved that Blackburn is no longer a weak team."

"Oh, how do you say this?" The reporter immediately asked George with great pleasure.

Because usually when George comes out of a new point of view, it indicates that there will be news in George's mouth.

"Isn't it? Think about it, if it weren't for the change in people's expectations for Blackburn, how could you think that Blackburn is in a bad state now? Say there is something wrong with my team." George slowly expressed his opinion.

"My results in these rounds are actually more than enough to enter the top ten. But people also think that my team is in a bad state, that is to say, they think that my team should get higher grades. This doesn't just indicate that they position my team as a strong team.

Hearing George's crooked reason, the reporter didn't know what to say. It was George who said such a big crooked reason.

That's not to say, but George certainly knows that these words are a little difficult.

On January 19, 1999, Blackburn faced Chelsea on the road.

During the training, Pires performed much better, but they still did not meet George's requirements. So George rotated again, allowing those players in excellent form to enter the starting lineup.

Of course, George is a merit-only coach and doesn't care about anything else.

At Stamford Bridge, George played the most shameless tactics again. I have lost too many scores recently, but one point is very important to George.

Viali's head hurts when he looks at George, really because George is the most shameless coach that Viali has ever met in the Premier League. He doesn't care about anyone's eyes. He can show any tactics as long as it's for the game.

Although Viali is a player from Italy. He became famous in Italy and then went to the Premier League. But even in Italy, Viali has never seen such a negative game. Italy has always been known for its chain defense, but after the 1980s, Italian coaches have also begun to focus on offense. Especially in the 1970s, after the Dutch team's full-attack and defense tactics became popular all over the world, the impact on world football was definitely explosive. In the Italian football world, which originally focused on tactics, many Italian coaches also began to reflect.

Nowadays, Italian coaches play more regional defense and offside tactics. There has never been a coach like George.

It seems that George didn't want to win the game at all, and all the players shrank in their own half. In this game, George put Blackburn's main full-backs Pirrey and Duff all on the bench. Including Miku and Deko.

Instead, he put McLele, Hargreaves and David in the midfield. Dunn and Wilcox only left Romedal in front. In the away game, George didn't even think about winning and played so passively.

The game ended in the middle of people's drowsiness.

The match between Blackburn and Chelsea is still a highlight in this round. Blackburn has done well in the past two months, and Chelsea is currently ranked third in the Premier League. The score gap with the first place Arsenal and the second place Manchester United is only within four points.

Four points behind Arsenal and two points behind Manchester United. It can be said that Chelsea is also a strong contender for the current Premier League championship.

Therefore, this game is a highlight in this round of Sky TV's broadcast. But the game was so boring that even the two commentators couldn't help yawning. Not to mention the fans.

But after the game, George was full of smiles. Why? Because although the game process was ugly, George got the ideal result. One point, now one point is also very good for George.

On the other side, Viali's face was cold, and the game was too aggrieved.

What kind of game is this? In addition to fouls, it is to use piles of people to defend.

Since I met George, Viali has been in a bad mood. Last season, I met George in the League Cup final and was hit by George's defensive counterattack. After the game, many media accused George of playing ugly, but more said that Viali lost to George in the platoon.

At that time, it was quite embarrassing for Viali. He lost to a League One team and lost the League Cup championship. If I hadn't won the Winners' Cup later, last season would have been a failure.

This season's victory over George at Ewood Park made Viali quite happy. But later, with the rise of Blackburn's performance, Viali knew that he did not defeat a real Blackburn. Now with Blackburn in a bad state, Viali wants to defeat Blackburn happily at home.

In addition, the competition for the championship is also relatively fierce now, and the home game is very important. Viali's plan at home is to get three points.

But in the end, it didn't come true.

The two consecutive draws did not make George worry much. After all, there are still 16 rounds left in the league, and the two draws are not a big problem.

Now in training, George can obviously feel the rise of the player's status. Now the main players have good physical strength because of the rotation, as long as the state is guaranteed, then the following games

After the game with Chelsea, Blackburn will have half a month. There is a 32 knockout matches of the FA Cup in the middle.

George's attitude towards the FA Cup is very clear. No matter where you can go, George will not waste his energy for the FA Cup. The FA Cup is too variable, and Manchester United is in a hot state this year. So for the UEFA Cup qualification, George will not rely on the illusory FA Cup.

"George, we have almost talked about Bellamy. Norwich can't stand it anymore.

"How much money do they pay?" George was very happy to hear that.

Now Blackburn's three wingers have their own characteristics. Pires has good skills and excellent passing; Duff's reeling, speed and internal cutting are first-class, Romedal's body is strong, his feet are excellent, and he can be left and right.

Berami's feature is even more obvious, that is, speed. If Bellamy's speed is put in later CM and FM games, the value is 20. Even Henry later, and Orvimas and Giggs, who are at their peak, can't be compared with Bellamy in speed.

Such a player with distinctive characteristics is very good for enriching the team's playing style.

"Three million pounds." Evan's simple answer.

Although Evan is also very hopeful for the team to have such a distinctive player. But Bellamy's price is indeed too expensive, 3.8 million pounds. At first, Norwich even bit five million pounds, and Evan did Bellamy's job in private.

Berami's attitude is clear, and Norwich has no choice. Under the final bargain, Bellamy's transfer price was finally fixed at 3.8 million pounds.

Although it is 3.8 million pounds, it is also very expensive.

George nodded. Step a little faster. If you transfer early, it's good to have a good time with the team in January.

"Okay, okay. As long as you agree, there will be no big problem.

In fact, Richard has already finished everything, waiting for George to make the final.

............

On January 19, 1999, Blackburn officially announced the introduction of Welsh player Clegg from Norwich for a transfer price of 3.8 million pounds. Bellamy.

This transfer has attracted the attention of many people. First of all, Bellamy is only 19 years old and is a very young player. The transfer price is not cheap, 3.8 million pounds. George is not the kind of player who is used to being big. He bought a 19-year-old player for 3.8 million pounds, which shows that this player is highly valued by George.

So everyone is paying attention to who this Bellamy is sacred.

However, George did not hold a special press conference for Bellamy, and now George has no time to do this.

"Claig, welcome to Blackburn. I've been waiting for you for a long time." George met Bellamy at the training ground.

Bellamy is young, and he is really young at this time. But the arrogance of his face can't be concealed at all. George's first impression of Bellamy is that this boy is definitely an unruly player.

"Hello, Coach Levy."

Bellamy is cool and says hello to George.

"You can call me by my name, and of course you can call me boss or head."
