11 ready to go
"Well, there is no white flower in this 400,000 pounds. How is he doing? George looked at the blond Pobosky and was sincerely happy. Not long after the training began, the first person to stand out was Karel Bobowski.
Carrel Bobowski has unparalleled technology and speed, especially speed. Boboski's characteristics are very obvious. He can eat his opponent raw at a speed on the right side, and he can also shake off the defensive player with his skills. Of course, Bobsky still has the ability to insert a shot back, which makes Bobsky the most eye-catching player in the current Burnley team.
"George, to be honest, it's really excellent. I think Popowski's ability is more than enough to play in the Premier League. It seems that we need to re-examine football in Czech countries. Carl Pat answered George's words while remembering the player's training status.
George picked up the pen and paper in his hand and drew a lot of triangles. Then he said to Carl Pat and Evan Sawyer, "Carl, Evan, I'm a very realistic person. If we can't upgrade this season, I think the club will definitely fire me. Of course, you two may also follow me. So what I have to rectify this season is the team's defense, and the defense is not just a matter of the defender. The striker will be the first defender, then the midfielder, and finally the defense. Carl and Evan are seriously looking at George drawing various arrows on his notebook.
"Look, I won't do that kind of man-to-man defense. Our defense should be a kind of regional defense. Once we lose the ball, we will immediately fight back on the spot. Then several people quickly formed a circle around the ball to control the area and limit the way out of the ball. George kept drawing various triangles and even diamond shapes to show his views on defense.
Carl Pat and Evan Sawyer listened very carefully to George's defensive method of area control. If you want to achieve good results, only good defense is fundamental. Only on this basis can we attack.
"As for the attack, there are only two words, run. The forwards and full-backs in the frontcourt are the same. They need to keep running out of the gap without the ball, or pull away the opponent's defense. Midfielder Michael Ballack is the core of my team's midfield in the new season. Carl, you should find that Michael's long pass has a deep effort. Michael will be responsible for all kinds of midfield scheduling in the new team to tear apart the opponent's defense. And Michael's header and long-range shots are excellent, and it must be very threatening to insert it in the back row. Once again, George drew arrows in various offensive directions on his notebook to show his idea for the new season.
George will not regard himself as Wenger and do those complex and changeable offensive means. It won't be that Burnley is Barcelona, killing the opponent's morale by controlling the ball. Now Burnley is a small team, currently struggling in the English Second Division, and the players can't meet these tactical requirements. So what George wants is the speed and efficiency of attack, not tedious tactics.
Looking at Carl and Evan meditating there, George patted Carl. Carl, did you hear what I just thought? The training situation of the team is as I said. I believe in you. George, the training team, knew that Carl was more professional than himself, so after talking about his requirements, he asked Carl to make his own training plan.
George took two steps forward and retreated. Carl, Michael, how attentive you are. It is not only necessary to strengthen his long pass ability and what he is good at, such as long-range shooting and header, but also let him practice small skills and small-scale passing. And Mi Luo, increase the technical ability under the foot and the shooting under the foot. After telling Carl, George continued to observe the status of the players.
............
After more than 20 days of training, the main force in George's mind gradually appeared. Needless to say, Bobowski has conquered all the players and members of the coaching staff from the first day. Even Thompson, who had a very bad impression of George, nodded and praised Bobowski's ability.
As for the two midfielders Danny Murphy and Neil Lennon, who were recruited by George from Crewe, also showed a high standard in the midfield. Unfortunately, Danny Murphy shows some special surnames of young players, sometimes too sticky, and sometimes he has a bad temper. On the contrary, Neil Lennon, who was later bought by George, performed extremely well. With strong running ability, fierce shoveling, and wide defensive area, these characteristics made George gradually fall in love with this simple midfielder.
Brin's defense and quick turn in the penalty area, Huckaby's quick breakthrough, Richard Brody's impact, and back-to-back ball ability also made them occupy the position of the main force in George's mind. And Barack, who had high expectations for George's opportunity, also lived up to George's expectations. Of course, what satisfied George most is not how strong Ballack is, but the ball dealer shown by Barak. After just more than 20 days of practice, Ballack is already clear about the technical characteristics of each player in the team. I know how the ball to Popowski, how to send the ball to Huckaby, and how to give the ball to the center. This ability is the reason why George likes Barack the most.
Almost everyone can see George's love for Ballack. George said on the first day of training that there were no main substitutes in his team. But in training, George always let Barak be in charge of scheduling in the midfield, and almost all the other midfielders were asked to leave it to Barak after getting the ball. And during the training, Barak was called to the sidelines by George for the most times.
Only 17-year-old Klose performed mediocrely and has not yet shown the ability of the main center of the German chariot in the future. But George is not in a hurry. Compared with the last time Klose, who was still playing amateur league at the age of 20, Klose's starting point is already very high. Although there is a player with average performance, all the coaching staff look at George at this time is completely different.
Klose is just a young player who signed for free. Even if he fails, he won't lose much. But of the eight players that George introduced this year, seven of them performed very well.
Of course, the most eye-catching performance is Daniel Morrison, a young player trained by George. Daniel Morrison's performance can't be seen at all as a 17-year-old young player, with accurate positioning, good header, fast turning and faster. Daniel Morrison's speed can be expressed as amazingly. If the speed of Henry and Ronaldo is twenty, then Daniel's speed must be between eighteen or nineteen. When George was a coach in the youth team, he found Daniel at first sight.
Although Daniel usually has a hippie smile, what really makes George like is Daniel's calmness. The calmness that will never be impulsive on the guard line makes George determined to focus on cultivating him. When I first met Daniel, he was only 14 years old. But the 14-year-old Daniel showed the calmness that many adult players could not show, which made George excited about him.
Instead, Ashley Chapman, who was promoted to the first team with Daniel, failed to meet George's requirements. Ashley Chapman is excellent in skills and stands out among the youth team. Even better than Daniel, but after arriving at the first team, some of Ashley's problems appeared. It's a pity for George that the defense is not active, the ball is too sticky, and the physical confrontation is not strong.
Looking at the team's running-in getting better and better day by day, George is also getting more and more nervous. Although George despised the second division in his heart, he felt that his ability should be to go to the Super League, and he should be compared with all kinds of European giants in the Champions League. But after all, this is the first time to play in the second division as a head coach. It's false that I'm not nervous. Anyway, rebirth will not make you become an Ultraman immediately, and you have to go step by step.
After more than 20 days, George's main lineup has also been formed. The goalkeeper is undoubtedly Miller, the central defender is Mitchell King and Gary Brin, the right back is Grant, and the left back will be young player Daniel Morrison. From left to right, the midfielders are Neil Lennon, Danny Murphy, Michael Barak and Karel Bobowski. The strikers are Richard Brody and Darren Huckaby.
George actually chose three midfielders in the midfield. Neil Lennon seems to be playing left forward, but he is actually just a false left forward. Neil Lennon's actual role is to be the last guarantee of the defense line. George took Richard Brody at the front, and then Darren Huckaby and Popowski took turns to hit him. Although there are some problems on the left, George has high expectations for Daniel Morrison. I hope Daniel Morrison can become an excellent left-back like Carlos, although George thinks Daniel Morrison's best position is in the central defender position.
The time passed day by day, and it soon became August 16th. George's first game is coming soon.
