151 Ewood Park's debut
The boos of Blackburn fans not only stunned George, but also surprised his opponent Viali. What's more, the Blackburn players are quite surprised. They can't imagine that a new head coach will be treated like this at home.
The players introduced by George himself are quite unclear. The players who just came to Blackburn this summer are all from several major leagues in France, the Netherlands, Italy and Portugal. Except for Klose, no George has been poached from the English league.
Many of them have heard that George led a team in the League Two in Burnley and was promoted to the Premier League three years later. And last season, he won the League Cup and the FA Cup in a row. And I also know that Burnley and Blackburn are a pair of sworn pairs.
But in their opinion, when George switched from Burnley to Blackburn, Burnley fans should grit their teeth. There is no way to forgive George as a traitor, and Blackburn fans should be gloating about Burnley. This is in line with their idea. Anyway, Blackburn finally found Burnley's meritorious head coach.
I didn't expect that George led the team to the first home game, and he was booed at the Ewood Park Stadium.
This boo also affected their state, especially Claude and Deco, who were also booed. Fans are impulsive and irrational. They don't care whether George receives black money or not. The newspaper is so ambiguous that George makes unscrupulous money in their opinion.
The typical representatives who entered Blackburn by relying on George's relationship are Claude and Deco. Two players with only a low league level have become the main force of the Premier League club. Therefore, when the players first came out, the two of them received the most boos.
Cloze was not afraid, although he had never received such boos when he was in Burnley. But there are many criticisms about Klose. If Klose hadn't had a big heart, he would not have been able to gain a foothold in Burnley.
George likes Klose, but he definitely doesn't blindly let him play. Although Klose lacks some strength, he has many shortcomings, especially in taking the ball, protecting the ball, and making the ball. But he also has many advantages that others don't have.
In particular, he has an excellent header, and his judgment of the high-altitude ball is quite accurate. This is definitely a great ability in English football. Even if George builds a team with Miku as the core, high-altitude ball can never be ignored.
In addition, Klose is explosive and not slow. And with playing football under George for more than three years, I don't know how much the skills under my feet have increased.
And more importantly, he is disciplined, not greedy, and absolutely obeys the team's tactics. This is very important in a team, especially a single arrow like Klose, which is even more precious when it has such characteristics.
So George has always reused Klose among other people's objections. Klose didn't care about other people's opinions and kicked his own ball.
But Deco is different, Deco has some **. As soon as Deko came to Portugal from Brazil, he found that he had been cheated. The experience in Portugal made Deco very sad. George began to contact him six months ago, which made Deco have a deep affection for George.
This is definitely not a fake. In despair, someone gave hope, which is an indescribable gratitude. I didn't expect to be booed by home fans at home, which made Deco very uncomfortable.
Therefore, Deko's mood on the court was greatly affected. Not only Deko, but also the emotions of Pires, Miku and others have been greatly affected. They didn't get used to English football, but now they are more anxious when their mentality is unbalanced.
Because Miku, Pires and others did not adapt to the rhythm of the Premier League, George let them protect the ball in the midfield in this game. This is completely accommodating them. It's a pity...
Chelsea is a strong team, and Viali soon saw the change in the mentality of Burnley's players. Previously, Viali had already watched the first two rounds of Blackburn, which was different from the head coaches of other Premier League clubs. Viali was defeated by George last year, although many media later scolded George's shameless tactics. But they also admitted that it was George's platoon that defeated Viali.
Therefore, Viali attaches great importance to George. After seeing the first two rounds, he has found that several important players in Blackburn have not adapted to the rhythm of the Premier League. So the requirements for Chelsea players this time are fast, fast passing, fast defense and fast footing.
As a team in the technical genre of the Premier League, Chelsea is still relatively clean. But this time Viali doesn't care, and Viali is a coach from Italy. So when all players force it, it's fast.
This made Miku, Piree and Deko not fully adapt to the Premier League, and the opening boos disturbed their minds. They had no resistance to the midfielders of Boyette, Di Matteo, Petrescu and others in the middle court.
"Boet, pass... This ball passed through Blackburn's defense, Zola, cross... It's Sutton! Sutton at a meter of nine meters!!!"
In the 27th minute of the first half, Chris Sutton, who transferred to Chelsea from Blackburn, received a pass from Zola and scored the first goal in the defense of Hendry and Haipia. After Chris Sutton scored, there was not much celebration, just clapping hands with the players who came to celebrate.
Until he passed by George, Sutton waved his fist. Sutton is relatively angry. As Blackburn's main striker when he won the championship, although Blackburn's performance has not been good in recent years, he has never thought of leaving. But George just came to the house, and he was the first to clean himself. This made Sutton angry no matter what he thought.
But the reaction of the Ewood Park fans made George laugh and cry. After Chris Sutton scored, Ewood Park burst into shocking cheers. When Sutton passed by George, the applause of Ewood Park turned into bursts of boos.
Blackburn fans treat Sutton and George with a completely different attitude, and it can also be seen that they are not satisfied with George's sale of Sutton. Blackburn scored Sutton Rozhi with a British record transfer fee of 5 million pounds in the 94-95 season, and formed a strong front line with Shearler, scoring a total of 49 league goals to help the team win the Super League Championship. After Shear left, he supported Blackburn's front line alone.
"Last season, Blackburn relied on Sutton's goals one after another, and finally managed to successfully relegation. Sutton is a hero in the hearts of Blackburn fans, but George sold Sutton to Chelsea as soon as he moved in.
"Within Sutton, who is the Blackburn front line now? Klose, who is Klose? A striker who has played more than 50 games in the League One and scored less than ten goals can also become the main striker of the Premier League team?
Seeing the situation on the field, even the commentator's commentary began to be biased. Because this scene looks like a player who was loyal to the team and loved by the fans. Of course, the players are not wrong, and the fans are not wrong. The most wrong thing should be George, the number one villain in the middle.
The director's scene also only followed George, whose face was expressionless. It's like this matter has nothing to do with me.
No one knows the anger in George's heart now. George never thought that he would be treated like this at home.
But that's not all. In the thirty-seventh minute of the game, Sutton received a pass from Di Matteo again and broke through the door guarded by Flores. He gave George a heavy blow to his debut at Ewood Park.
And it was Maclele who lost the ball this time, which is completely different from the Maclelele in George's mind. Nowadays, Macrelei has a habit of taking a few steps or observing left and right after taking the ball.
Now Maclelet also has the habit of Ligue 1 and, of course, his own habit of right-back position. He is not very used to the back position now.
At halftime, George was very angry, but he didn't get angry.
"You were in a hurry in the first half. Don't worry." Maybe the boos made several people a little anxious. They didn't get used to the rhythm of English football. In addition, if you are in a hurry to lose the ball, it will be more.
"Claude, I'll tell you. Your task is to protect the guard line, cut the ball and give it to Anderson or John. I asked you to pass the ball in this position. So after getting the ball, don't hesitate to deal with the ball quickly.
"Your position is very important. Once you lose the ball in this position, it will be a disaster for the team."
"Claude, you are the most important point for the team's offensive and defensive conversion. You can't hesitate at all." Although it was MacLele's mistake that made Chelsea lose the second goal. But George did not blame MacLei.
The position of Macreale is definitely the most important, although Deco and Miku are the core of the midfield. But the position of Maclele is definitely the most important point for the whole team.
After hearing George's words, Maclelele nodded. Makelele is also full of doubts about George's position of hitting the back. But George vowed to make it to Makelele that he would definitely become the best midfielder in the world.
Blackburn's performance was much better in the second half, and they began to slowly control the ball. And Viali was not aggressive in the second half and recovered it. The game ended with a score of 2-0.
George's debut at Ewood Park ended.
