293 flourishes and declines
In the second half, Erickson made a big change in an attempt to regain control of the game.
But George doesn't care about that at all and still uses a fast pace to deal with him. At the beginning of the second half, George even used a faster pace than the first half to deal with Lazio. In later generations, there is a saying that the Premier League is in Serie A, Serie A is in La Liga, and La Liga is in the Premier League.
Although this is just a joke, it is not aimless. This is the reason why the ball style is involved.
The so-called Premier League defeating Serie A is actually the fast-paced victory of the Premier League over Serie A. Just like Arsenal, every time it encounters a Serie A team in the next decade, it will be able to defeat its opponent. It's just the problem of mutual restraint. That's why George slowed down fast.
The second half lasted for 20 minutes, and when Lazio still didn't score, George began to recycle.
George replaced Miku with McAllister. Let Deco go up and use McAlyster to increase defense and control.
Then he replaced Pires with Bellamy and let Lazio know what counterattack is and what speed is. However, at this time, Lazio had no choice but to attack. Finally, he was hit by Blackburn for a counterattack. Bellamy ran nearly 40 meters and finally handed it over to Duff, who fought back together on the right side. Duff finally scored the third goal easily.
3 to 0, Blackburn defeated the powerful Lazio 3 to 0 in a strong dialogue.
After the game, the reporters from Italy all took advantage of the fun and returned. It turned out that after defeating Blackburn, he counted the arrogant George well. But I didn't expect Lazio to lose 0 to 3 away from home.
George smiled proudly at the Italian reporter.
"I'm really sorry to disappoint everyone." George paused and became more and more happy to see the Italian reporter spleen. I have absolutely no prejudice against Italian football. On the contrary, I appreciate Italian football, because I am a defensive coach. But that's what happens in the world. Serie A has flourished and declined. It has been flourishing for more than ten years, and it has come to decline.
"You should find your own reasons for the decline of Serie A. If there is no reform, the decline of Serie A is only the beginning.
It is an indisputable fact that Italian football is now lagging behind other leagues in many aspects. It's just that Italian football doesn't want to admit it.
The current development of Italian football depends entirely on the investment of the big boss behind it, but the development of the club itself is very poor. Just because Italy does not allow clubs to have private courts, the development of Italian clubs does not know how much it lags behind the Premier League.
The Premier League club has its own court.
Just like Manchester United, it has the best stadium in the Premier League, Old Trafford. The Old Trafford Stadium, which has 68,000 seats, is completely private property of Manchester United. Because of Old Trafford, Manchester United's ticket revenue every season is the highest in the Premier League.
In addition to the development and operation of places around Old Trafford, Manchester United has more than many clubs in the world because of the income of Old Trafford in a year.
Even if it's Blackburn, Jack. When Walker expanded Ewood Park, he also bought a large amount of land next to the court. Those lands are all Jack. Walker used it to develop some other uses. Therefore, even Blackburn is far ahead of the Serie A giants in terms of stadium revenue.
It is also because of the important surname of the stadium that Arsenal tightened its belt to build the Emirates Stadium.
But Italian football is completely lagging behind in this respect.
An important income is the TV broadcast fee. The Premier League has the highest TV broadcasting fee in European football, far surpassing Serie A. And the Premier League is bundled, while Serie A is separate. Especially the top three in the North, Juventus and Milan, whose three teams monopolize half of the Serie A TV broadcasting fee.
In this way, other Serie A teams, except for the top three in the North, can get TV broadcasting fees that are not even as good as the relegated teams in the Premier League. This distribution system makes the gap between the rich and the poor in Serie A widening. The top three in the North are getting stronger and stronger, while other teams are getting more and more in trouble.
So that the strength of the whole Serie A team has not been greatly developed.
Now the boss behind the Serie A club can also support the team. But when there is an economic crisis, once there is any problem with the boss behind them, the whole Italian football will collapse.
At that time, including the current Serie A strong teams Lazio, Parma and Fiorentina will be hit hard.
To put it bluntly, the current Italian football lags far behind the development of European football in any way.
If the above is all about policy, there are still many factors that restrict the development of Italian football. Needless to say, the "telephone door" that was later exposed is of course very harmful to the healthy development of a league.
But in addition to this, there are still big problems in Italian football.
Italian football is currently the most popular among the five major European leagues. Or watching the ball on the spot, there will be a lot of fights, burning the ball seat, throwing things on the court, etc. Anyway, it can be said that it is very dangerous to watch football on the spot in Italy.
In addition to live violence, Italian football also has very serious racial discrimination.
Italian fans' discrimination against black people can be heard everywhere at the scene.
Everyone says that England has the most football hooligans. But in terms of the security Serie A on the scene, it can't be compared with the Premier League. The Premier League far surpasses Serie A in combating racism and football hooliganism. As long as there are fans making trouble at the scene and being captured by the camera, those fans will be blacklisted.
The punishment for them will not only be prosecuted according to the size of the matter. And the most severe thing is that they will never get a chance to watch the game on the spot again. For those enthusiastic English fans, it's worse not being able to watch the game on the spot than killing them.
And there are many cameras in the court. As long as something happens, it will definitely be recorded by the camera. I can't run away.
Therefore, the order of the Premier League is very good.
But Serie A is different. Fans throw Molotov cocktails at the player's bus, fans fight on the spot, fans burn seats on the stadium, abuse people of color and so on.
These factors seriously restrict the number of fans in Serie A. The already very poor ticket revenue is getting less and less.
Having said so much, it is actually the same meaning. The decline of the Italian league is definitely not another factor. It is entirely because there is a big problem in the management of the Italian League, and their development has not kept up with the development of European football.
This time, the Italian reporter was also very frustrated.
After the third round of the Champions League group stage, all the Italian media were dumb. Because in addition to AC Milan's 2-0 away victory over Barcelona, it defended the face of Serie A. Juventus were beaten 1-0 by La Coruña at their home court.
After the end of the three rounds, Arsenal already ranked first with two wins, one draw and seven points, while La Coruña ranked second with one win, two draws and five points, Panathinaikos ranked third with two draws and one loss, and Juventus had only one point with one draw and two losses.
This group is recognized as the group of death. After the draw, it is believed that Juventus and Arsenal are the most likely to break through. Of course, it is not impossible for A Coruña. After all, it is Super Raco, and the strength is still there.
But I didn't expect that half of the game had been played, and the most optimistic Juventus seemed to be asleep. There was only one draw in three games.
The other team, Lazio, was played 0 to 3 by Blackburn on the road.
The performance of the Italian club really makes the Italian media unable to say anything.
On the contrary, the English media is very excited.
Although Manchester United's group is a little complicated, the points are in a mess. But the British media still believe that Manchester United can break through easily. Blackburn gave great face to the British football world this time, defeating Serie A champion Lazio 3-0.
However, Arsenal is the most exciting thing in British football. Arsenal's group is the group of death, but Arsenal's qualifying situation is the most optimistic. As long as Arsenal wins another game, it will basically lock in the qualifying place.
............After defeating Lazio 3-0, the British media's praise for Blackburn has reached the point of incomparable numbness.
This is the case in the competition. No matter how much you hate a person, as long as he has good grades, they will praise him. George has a lot of complaints about the media in British football, and more journalists have offended him. But now George's grades are so good that countless media are chasing George.
The media is a famous English coach to George.
Even George will blush after reading these newspapers.
But Blackburn is indeed in the best condition now.
The media is even analyzing when Blackburn will end his winning streak. Black hasn't lost the game since the beginning of this season, and now he has won eleven consecutive victories.
The analysis of many media is that it is either in the away game against Lazio, or it will be the eleventh round of away against Manchester United. Because in the middle, Blackburn's opponents are only opponents such as Middlesbrough, Everton and Manchester City.
Even after watching it, George felt that he was going to create a ten-game winning streak in the league.
After defeating Lazio, Blackburn's players are a little flustered. If it is to defeat Real Madrid, Real Madrid is still a little unintentional. So this victory over Lazio shows Blackburn's strongest strength.
And Blackburn lived up to expectations and easily defeated Middlesbrough 2-0 in the eighth round of the Premier League. After defeating Middlesbrough, all the media believe that this season's Premier League must be Blackburn's.
Because in the highlight of this round, Arsenal defeated Manchester United 1-0 at home. Therefore, Blackburn is seven points ahead of Arsenal and nine points ahead of Manchester United.
Blackburn is full of power, and everyone is thinking about who can stop Blackburn?
Excitedly, George hopes to continue this performance. Blackburn players are also full of self-confidence now.
Everyone praised Blackburn, even his opponent Everton. But when I arrived at Goodison Park, I was beaten by Everton and lost my temper. Blackburn, who was full of confidence, was awakened.
The low-profile Everton defeated Blackburn 1-0 with a defensive counterattack. It was given to George the first defeat of the new season.
