149 Difficult Premier League career
George didn't blame the players for losing the game. Instead, the next day's holiday was cancelled. Now Blackburn needs time most.
All the players don't have much opposition. After all, the game is really rubbish. With a group of technical players, there are also five midfielders, but they can't control the ball. Because the midfield could not control the ball, Duff on the right side was also quite depressed.
Duff is not a superman. As long as there is a ball, he can play a dragon. Although Duff is strong, he also needs the support of the midfield. But the midfielder can't support it, so Duff's performance in this game is also very few.
Not to mention the defender line, they are facing great pressure throughout the game. Maclelele's waist is not as strong as later. The protection of the guard line is not enough.
Blackburn is quietly training, but the media doesn't want to let George go.
Mark Laurenson commented on the first round of the Premier League on Sky TV. When he said Blackburn, his tone immediately became much more intense.
"I don't understand where George saw that Makelele could be the midfielder. If you don't have a body, you need speed and no speed. I only saw him running headless all the game. Of course, this can't be blamed on MacLei. He is a good right-back, and now he is put in the back by George.
"And look at Van Bronckhorst, such a good midfielder, instead of putting him in the left-back position. When George was in Burnley, Burnley fans called George a magician. Does George really think he is a magician?
"Of course, there are also Pire and Miku, who George bought from France at a high price, and they are not used to English football at all."
"It cost more than 20 million pounds, and I don't know what team George built. George said that the team's goal is definitely not to be relegated. But I want to say that it's hard to say whether Blackburn can be relegated. George really has to think about how to relegation.
Mark Laurenson's criticism of George leaves no room.
Although George's current grades are very bad, it does not mean that George has changed his temper now. Although he lost the game, George was still bullish.
"I asked Maclelei as the midfielder because Macleley is competent. Mr. Laurenson has never been a coach. Of course, he doesn't know how to arrange positions for players. If Mr. Laurenson could also see why I let Macleley be the midfielder and Van Bronckhorst was the left-back, then he would have been a football commentator but a coach. If it's so easy to be a coach, why does FIFA issue a coaching qualification certificate? Cats and dogs can be coaches with just a few words.
George is even more rude to Mark Laurenson. It's almost like scolding Mark Laurenson as a cat and a dog.
Of course, Mark Laurenson would not be silent, and immediately wrote a rebuttal in the column of The Sun. George really thinks he is a magician, but I'd like to see what he can do in the back position. I don't know if George's mouth will be so hard at that time.
............
Of course, although he was fighting with Mark Laurenson, George did not relax his team's training at all.
After the first round of the game, there is only one week. On August 22, Blackburn faced Nottingham Forest on the road.
In fact, Blackburn's schedule this year is not very bad, although the first two games are away. But the first game was against West Ham United, although West Ham United's results in the past two years are not bad. But West Ham United is not a Premier League team, and the second round is against Nottingham Forest, which has just been promoted this season.
The first two games were not very strong opponents, if it weren't for the current Blackburn, who had just formed. Both opponents belong to the game where they can get points.
George is quite familiar with Nottingham Forest. In last season's League One, Burnley and Nottingham Forest had several confrontations. George knew a lot about the Nottingham Forest at that time.
Of course, that's for Nottingham Forest last season. There is a big change in Nottingham Forest this season. That is, Nottingham Forest has adopted a double leader system, that is, two head coaches have been appointed. One is Bassett, who led Nottingham Forest to the Premier League, and the other is Ron Atkinson.
George is not worth it for Bassett. Bassett led Nottinghamson to upgrade, which can be said to have contributed a lot to the Nottingham Forest. However, the board of directors of Nottingham Forest has adopted a double leader system.
George has always sneered at the double leader system. Who listens to whom?
Nottingham Forest is a strong team in League One, but it is a soft persimmon in the Premier League. Among the odds of relegation this year, Nottingham Forest and Blackburn are the highest. The second round is a battle between two veritable relegation teams.
The attack power of Nottingham Forest is not strong, and the attack power can't be lower than that of West Ham United in the first round.
But George did not despise him because his opponent was weak. Blackburn now is weaker than Nottingham Forest, at least Nottingham Forest has cooperated for many years. Therefore, George's requirements for midfielders Deko and Miku are the same as in the last game, controlling the ball in the midfield.
Don't rush to attack, and then let Pires and Duff change positions from time to time. Both of them are good at being left and right.
What George urgently needs now are Deko, Miku and Pires. They quickly adapt to the rhythm of the Premier League.
But things can't come in a hurry, so we can only take it slowly. In this game, Miku and Pires performed much better. But this is also related to the weak strength of Nottingham Forest, but even if it is much better, it is no longer conceding as many goals as the first time.
Decko and Miku are both one of the important core players in George's midfield. Deco's position is a little behind, which is the meter that controls the rhythm of Blackburn's attack and defense. Deco is mainly responsible for the regulation of the rhythm of Blackburn's game.
And George's request for Miku is Blackburn's offensive core. In the offensive line, Miku can pass and shoot. As long as Miku can really integrate into Blackburn and adapt to the rhythm of the Premier League, his threat in front of him can be revealed.
And Pires is not only a side striker on the left, but also a good assistant to Miku.
The whole game is still quite depressing, although Blackburn's midfield is much smoother than the last game. But this is just a reversing ball in the midfield and backcourt. Once you want to move forward, there is still not much way.
What surprised George most was not Miku. Miku needed to adapt to what George had long thought about in the Premier League. George's surprise was Pires. Pires's adaptability was too poor. I can't see that Pires, who will dominate Arsenal in the future, is a series of mistakes.
Pure's best thing is not speed, but technology and passing. But Pires' problems in these two items are also very big. Pires has not done very well in the timing of passing the ball and the one-to-one passing.
Duff is even more alone on the sidelines because he can't get the support of Deko and Miku.
Klose is not a prolific striker. Without the support of midfield and sideline, Klose is really not doing well now.
There was a dull battle in the game. Nottingham Forest was not strong enough to break Blackburn's defense. Blackburn also had too many offensive problems to break through the gate of Nottingham Forest. The final game ended with zero to zero.
George finally got his first league points in his Premier League career.
