166 Celebration
"Three points!"
It has been more than two months since the league started, and 11 rounds have been played. This is Blackburn's first victory, so many media have paid attention to this three points.
The Blackburn Evening News uses "Three points" as the title of the report, and Yellen gave Blackburn a high praise in the newspaper.
Blackburn has come out of the downturn at the beginning of the season. In these two games, he drew away with Manchester United and defeated Newcastle. Blackburn finally got the first three points in the Premier League this season, and coach Levy also won the first Premier League victory in his coaching career. Coach Levy's Blackburn has finished running in and gradually shows his strength.
"In the games against Manchester United and Newcastle, Blackburn's possession rate is higher than that of the opponent, and they are all away from home. Several teams can surpass Manchester United in possession at Old Trafford. George's new Blackburn can do it.
"Seeing these two games, we all believe that Blackburn will be able to shine in the hands of Coach Levy."
Steven Yellen praised George and Blackburn. And he also commented on the players in various positions of Blackburn and praised their strength.
The Blackburn Evening News is also very happy to win the game. Blackburn's grades are not good, and Blackburn's fans' interest in reading newspapers has also dropped. Now that Blackburn's performance is good, Yellen believes that the sales of newspapers will definitely increase.
However, Blackburn's local newspaper boasts is useless, and some media don't think so.
Mark Laurenson, who has never dealt with George, still hasn't let George go.
"The draw with Manchester United is just because Manchester United players participated in the national team, and they are very tired. Manchester United's lack of physical strength in the whole game took the initiative to withdraw in the second half. Being able to draw with Manchester United is completely the advantage of occupying less of its own international team. This is the so-called FIFA virus.
"The victory over Newcastle is not worth mentioning. Newcastle's performance this season is extremely bad. Moreover, Shearer, Newcastle's number one firepower, was absent from this game due to injury, and there is no persuasiveness in defeating such Newcastle.
"These two games are completely taking advantage of the schedule."
George's Blackburn is still the bottom team in the Premier League. I don't see any recovery in Blackburn at all. It's just Blackburn's bragging about Blackburn's recovery.
Mark Lawrence seems to be determined to be against George. In fact, everyone has seen that Blackburn has begun to recover in these two games. But Mark Lawlenson will never agree with this view.
But George did not refute Mark Laurenson. Now George is already excited. In two games, the team has completely looked like George's hope. With the resurrection of Pires on the sidelines, Pires and Duff can change their positions with each other at will.
Pires and Duff are active on the sidelines, which plays a very important role in the team's playing style.
They are strong on the side and can pull away the opponent's defense. Let Miku and Deco in the middle have more room to play. George's transformation of the team is to control the ball in the midfield, playing in an oppressive way. This kind of play can easily lead to the intensive defense of the opposing team. At this time, Pires and Duff need to play the role on the sidelines.
............
The day after the game with Newcastle, George chartered a local bar in Blackburn. Nominally it is my own birthday, and all the players are invited to celebrate together.
Although George is the head coach of the club, his salary ranks first in the team. Black doesn't even have a player with a weekly salary of more than 10,000. If Hendry is a little younger, the renewed contract may exceed 10,000 pounds a week. Unfortunately, Hendley is old, and the club will not give him a high weekly salary.
Therefore, in Blackburn, George is the only one with a weekly salary of 13,000 pounds, and the weekly salary of Pires and Miku is close to 10,000 pounds.
So now George is also a rich man, and it is reasonable to invite a few people to dinner.
After the daytime training, all the players came to the bar under George.
"Today, everyone is casual. I will celebrate our first victory with my own life. Let go of drinking and let go of play.
George didn't say anything else, just let everyone have fun. And he did not join the players, but went to the other side. Although George is not old, he has a good relationship with the players. But after all, George is the head coach of the team, and it will still be inconvenient for the players to insert it.
"George, I don't think you look like celebrating your life." Carl came to George and asked in a low voice.
George picked up the wine glass and touched Carl. Then he looked at the lively players there and smiled.
"Carl, I've grown up so much that I've never taken my life as a thing." George took a sip of the wine. Sheng said, it's just an excuse. I'm for them. We moved too much this summer. Although they have been together for two months, it is not enough to really become a teammate.
Five players from France, two players from the Dutch League, two players from Italy, and of course the original Blackburn players, including the youth team, came to Blackburn this summer. It can be said that Blackburn is a completely new team this season.
But it is precisely because it comes from various places that the phenomenon of grouping is still relatively serious. Just like players from France, especially Miku. As the absolute offensive core of George's midfield, Miku came to Blackburn and almost only talked to French players.
Miku's language ability is really poor, although his English has improved in the past three months. But compared with Pires and Macleley, Miku's English is no different from that of children. In addition, Miku is not an outgoing player, so he came to Blackburn and had a mediocre relationship with players from other places.
And the players that George introduced from France, except for Gallas, became the main players. Therefore, the phenomenon of their grouping is also more serious.
It is not uncommon for a team's locker room to have some factions, but if it is too serious, it will affect the team's performance. George hopes to take the opportunity of such a party to increase the relationship between them.
Before the party, George had talked to Hendley. I hope he can play the role of captain and actively help them truly integrate into the team.
Especially let Hendry take good care of Miku. Let Miku communicate well with the players, so that they can cooperate more freely on the court.
Although George had a conflict with Hendry before, he was very grateful to Hendry after entering Blackburn. George's entry into Blackburn not only cleans out many former Blackburn players, but also the players who remain in Blackburn have become substitutes. Including the main goalkeeper Flors, he has also become a scapegoat.
But Hendry, as the captain, helped George stabilize the locker room. It's hard to say about the new player. But those former Blackburn players, Hendry did a good job to appease them. Although they were all on the bench, no one made trouble in the locker room. Thanks to Hendry for this.
Therefore, George is more reluctant to give up Hendry now. Even if Hendry retires, George still wants to keep him in Blackburn.
"George, you are cunning. However, there are some things you should pay attention to. Don't let the team be divided. Carl gave a thumbs up and praised George.
"It's really not easy for the head coach of the Premier League team." A head coach can not only arrange training, develop tactics, and play games.
Controlling the locker room is a knowledge and an indispensable job for a head coach. There are many strong and tactical coaches in world football, and they are often able to lead the team to achieve very good results. But some of them couldn't deal with the problem of the locker room, so they could only leave sadly in the end. Such examples abound.
In order to control the locker room, George also learned a lot. It is not okay to suppress blindly, but it is not advisable to blindly spoil the players. You still need to learn carrots and sticks.
"Head, congratulations on your birth."
............
Although there can't be too much change in one night, George is thinking that there should be more such parties. Even if it's not drinking, at least players should be allowed to communicate more.
George, who didn't drink much, drank a little too much.
The car was thrown there directly and went home in a taxi.
As soon as he got out of the car, George saw a shaking figure. I was very surprised, and a smile appeared on my face. Miranda, why are you here? It would be great if you called me. Look at your body is wet."
The sky was gloomy and it rained lightly. Fortunately, it was a light rain. If it was a heavy rain, I wouldn't get sick.
Miranda saw George and jumped up.
"Brother George, live a happy life."
Looking at Miranda's smile, George nodded. Miranda, go in quickly. Change your clothes and don't catch a cold.
As he opened the door, George remembered the past. In the past, when I was in Burnley, old York and Miranda helped George live every year. This kind of scene is so familiar and warm.
"Brother George, you went for a drink." Miranda asked George as she entered the room.
George nodded. It was not easy to win a game, and I invited those players to celebrate together. By the way, how's Uncle York? Are you still blaming me?
If George leaves Burnley and joins Blackburn, the most sorry thing to do is Old York. The friendship with old York began with George's parents' generation. And later, Old York was responsible for life in Burnley.
This kind of guilt made George afraid to contact Old York.
"Well, you know my father's temper. What he hates most is Blackburn.
"Come on, Miranda. Go in and change your clothes quickly. You can't continue to wear wet clothes.
