399 The expected start
While George was working hard to buy players in the transfer market, someone accused George on the other side of France.
"Coach Levy is a complete liar. He lied to Nicholas. He said that Nicholas performed well, so he would invite Nicholas to join. Nicholas scored ten goals in Blackburn for half a season, making a great contribution to Blackburn's winning the league championship and the Champions League.
But as soon as he turned around, Blackburn forgot Nicholas at all. Coach Levy is a liar, a complete liar.
Anelka's agent brother shouted at George in front of the media.
He is still waiting for Blackburn to bid. But he didn't expect that when they couldn't wait to contact George, George didn't even bother to respond to them. Then div's was introduced, which made them understand that George completely fooled them last season.
Anelka's agent brother was angry.
That's why he scolded George in front of the media.
Hakan in Galatasaray, Turkey. Suke scolded George as a liar. Now it's Anelka's turn to call George a liar. It can be said that there are three words on George's forehead, which are "big liar".
But George is not afraid of itching if he has more lice.
You scolded you, and I'll do mine.
George doesn't have much time. Don't look at the World Cup, this season's Premier League is still very early. On August 17, the first round of the Premier League will begin.
Blackburn's training time is less than 20 days.
Of course there is no problem if it was before. But now the problem is that the important main players have left the team.
George was worried, especially the departure of Deko.
I managed to cultivate Deke into a world's top midfielder, but it was taken away by Scolari. Now Alonso is here, but it will take some time for Alonso to adapt to the team.
............"Is this Blackburn?"
After the end of the four rounds of the Premier League, the British media wrote such a title.
In the first four rounds, Blackburn faced Sunderland in the first round of the Premier League, Birmingham in the second round, Liverpool at home in the third round, and Middlesbrough in the fourth round. Blackburn, who has always been strong at the beginning of the season, was in a sluggish state at the beginning of the 02-03 season.
Blackburn only achieved a record of one win, two draws and one loss in the four rounds of the league, with five points.
They defeated Sunderland 1-0 at home, drew 1-0 away from Birmingham, drew 1-0 with Liverpool at home, and lost 2-2 away to Middlesbrough.
Not to mention that compared with last season, even compared with last season and the previous season, the results are much worse. It's only better than George's first season with Blackburn. Such a score doesn't look like what Black should have.
is also not in line with George's consistent claim.
But George can't do anything about it. After all, this is not what George wants.
The preparation time is too short. George is not fully ready, and the Premier League begins.
Only Alonso and Lucio have become the main players newly introduced this season. None of the other players can become the main players.
It's not that George has any discrimination, but that the new players are too young, and there is also a problem in integrating into the team. In front of Parker are Hargreaves and Essien, and in front of DeFort, there are Klose and Drogba, while Ribery is now training with the first team, and the game is played by the youth team.
Among them, Essien, whom George has high expectations, is in good health, fast, and fierce in defense. He is indeed a good back. But it was too impulsive, and the cooperation with Alonso was not very good. Instead, Hargreaves performed quite well in these four games.
So it was surprising that Essien was taken back by George as a stand-in for Maclele.
But Hargreaves came on later, but he defeated Essien and became Blackburn's main force.
Blackburn's problem now is that Klose has played too much in the World Cup. After coming back, I was a little tired. George doesn't want to let Klose take risks, because it's easy to get hurt now. So let Klose take a proper break and let Drogba play.
Drogba is now very good at using his body. The only problem is that Drogba's shooting level is really bad. That is to say, Drogba's biggest problem at present is that the scoring efficiency is too low.
In addition to the front line, there is another big problem, which is the defense line.
Blackburn's central defender partner is actually very strong. It is quite a good combination of defenders in world football. Campbell has a strong header, strong frontal defense ability, and good ability to fill the position in the back defense.
Lucio has excellent physical fitness. In addition, he turns fast and chases back fast, which can form a very effective complementary effect with Campbell.
But this is just a theoretical and paper thing. On the contrary, there are many problems with actual cooperation. In the past, Blackburn was grabbed by Campbell and let Ferdinand drag the defense back. But now it's Lucio's grab and Campbell's replacement.
is a completely different way of playing. Campbell also needs to adapt. Moreover, Lucio likes to come forward so much that once he comes forward, he can't come back in time. In the match with Middlesbrough, Viduka scored twice because of Lucio's empty space.
George has a headache about this.
Lucio's sudden plug-in in the central defender position is actually very threatening. Especially when there is a deadlock, his sudden plug-in will confuse the opponent's defense line. When playing against Liverpool, it was his sudden plug-in that disturbed Liverpool's defense and let Pires score a goal.
But Lucio is a defender after all. It is his duty to do a good job in defense.
George has talked to Lucio many times during training. Let him do a good job of defense first.
Of course, these are not big problems. Now the biggest problem comes from the middle.
It's just that Alonso is too small.
Previously, he could be the core of the royal society and the midfield commander. But Blackburn still has to adapt.
Don't say anything else. Let's talk about his fame. Alonso's reputation is even worse. Hargreaves, the middle partner who has just become Blackburn's main force this season, is loud.
Royal Society, what kind of team is this? It's just a team that can be relegated in La Liga. Hargreaves is an important substitute for Blackburn. He has made many important contributions to Blackburn's Premier League champion and Champions League champion.
Not even Hargreaves.
Not to mention a few people in the front court. Klose is the best scorer in the World Cup, Miku is the best player in the Champions League last season, Pires is the best left forward in Europe last season, and Duff is the best right back in the Champions League. Which one is not famous?
Alonso is a young generation in front of them.
Even if George can use his authority to establish Alonso as a midfield commander, it is not a matter of time to really become a midfield commander. At least Alonso needs time for the players to recognize him and the team to adapt to him.
Therefore, Alonso is not only young and weak, but more importantly, he can't control the scene.
In addition to this, another problem is that Blackburn has always controlled the midfield in the first four years. The ability to control the ball in the midfield is very strong.
But Alonso's ability to control the ball is not as good as that of Deco. At least for now. Therefore, the pace of the game is not slow, and the game is more played in a fast pace. This is not suitable for Miku and Pires, who are used to the relatively slow-paced game in the Premier League.
Even Blackburn's back line is a little uncomfortable.
Thinking of Alonso, George couldn't help thinking of Deko. What a good player, it's so cheap for Real Madrid.
But Deko's situation should not be much better than Alonso's. Real Madrid has Zidane, Figo, Raul and Ronaldo in the front court, all of whom are world-class superstars. What is Deko in front of them? Even if Deko has won the Premier League, the Champions League and the World Cup, it is still not as good as the previous people.
There will definitely be problems like the current Alonso. How to control the scene.
George has a headache.
At this time, the media also came to join in the fun.
They have long been dissatisfied with the arrogant George. It's just that George led Blackburn's results in the past few seasons, so he hasn't found a good opportunity. Now seeing that Blackburn had such a bad start, they finally found an opportunity.
"Coach Levy, as a Champions League champion team, do you think it is possible to find a midfielder from a team downstream of La Liga to be the core?"
The media is questioning that George replaced Deco with Alonso.
George didn't respond angrily.
"Before Anderson came to Blackburn, he was just a Portuguese second-level player. In four years, the difference is that he won the Premier League champion, the Champions League champion and the World Cup champion.
Hearing that George was still stubborn, the reporter next to him quickly came up to ask.
"Coach Levy, you don't think Harvey. Is Alonso still young? Is Blackburn's goal reduced, or is Blackburn's level reduced? Or coach Levy, do you want to pull out the seedlings to help?
Seeing that these reporters were looking for faults, George was very angry.
Pele won the first World Cup at the age of 17, and Maradona also won the top scorer in the Argentine league at the age of 17. Some people are geniuses and cannot be measured by age. Harvey is also a genius. Although he is only 20 years old, he is the best midfield conductor in the world.
"Like a great journalist, if you play football, you will not achieve anything in your life. It's the same whether it's 20 or 30 years old. But some geniuses are different, Harvey is. Even if he is 20 years old, he can still be the core of the championship team.
"Pull out seedlings to promote? I will only help the genius, and the talented players also need to help. Because they are geniuses, some mediocre talents will never understand that there are geniuses in the world.
George, who was in a bad mood, did not save any face for the reporter at all.
Although his mouth is hard, George has a headache now. No wonder after Liverpool sold Alonso in history, its performance has been declining, from the top four of the Premier League to a team competing for the League Cup qualification. The commander of a team cannot be changed at will.
George sighed for a long time. Fortunately, Arsenal and Manchester United only have two wins and two draws in the four rounds of the league, and there is not much score as LaBlakeburn.
George shook his head.
When can Alonso grow to the level of Deco?
