406 Grand Slam

Although the Olympia team won the Copa Libertadores, the personnel were very strange to George. Or it is very strange to European football. At this time, George really hoped that his opponents were Boca, River Plate, Sao Paulo and other clubs.

It's not that the history of the Olympia team is blank. On the contrary, Olympia has a glorious history. This is the third time they have won the Copa Libertadores and the second place in the Copa Libertadores three times.

But after all, the essence of South American football is in the Brazilian League and the Argentine League. Paraguayan clubs and European clubs really don't attach much importance to it. Even if they dig people, they dig people from the Brazilian and Argentine leagues.

Therefore, the geniuses of South America will come to Brazil and Argentina first. After the training of the Brazilian and Argentine leagues, I went to Europe.

Therefore, the teams in the Paraguay League are really not famous.

Look at their lineup. The goalkeeper is Tavarelli, the defender is Isassi, Pedro Benitez, Zelaya, Hara, the midfielder is Ultraman, Cáceres, Ensiso, Cordoba, and the front line is Rodrigo Lopez and Miguel Benitez.

Among these people, Tavarelli, Caceres, Baez and Franco represented Paraguay in the 2002 World Cup. Among them, goalkeeper Tavarelli is the best and best player in the team. He is a very good goalkeeper, but the national team can only live in the shadow of Chiravet.

Although it participated in the World Cup, Paraguay itself is not a strong team. And it was eliminated early, so it is still very strange to these people.

Not to mention ordinary fans, even those professional journalists in Europe are very strange to these people. If you don't look at the information, it is estimated that some people's names can't be called. Such an opponent is actually a test for the commentator.

Of course, these commentators are all professional commentators. I will definitely do my homework before the game.

A team that professional reporters and professional commentators don't know is even more a headache for George, a European coach. A strong European team coach like George is not only looking at domestic league opponents, but also in the eyes of European giants. Where can I learn about a South American club team when I have time?

Although I have watched some Copa Libertadores games, I am not particularly familiar with my opponents.

George has played many cup finals so far. Including the UEFA Champions League, the UEFA Cup, the UEFA Super Cup, the FA Cup, and the English League Cup, but this is the first time George feels that the opponent is so black.

But now George is no longer the kind of time to be trembling in the face of any opponent. Blackburn is a team that has won two Premier League titles and one Champions League champion, and there is no need to be afraid of any team.

Although he is not very familiar with his opponent, George now believes in the strength of the team.

As long as I can give full play to my strength, no opponent will be afraid.

George has this kind of confidence. This is the self-confidence cultivated by one champion after another.

Therefore, in the ranking layout, it is completely according to your own ideas. Especially in the midfield, Blackburn's midfield has changed a lot this season. George himself doesn't know which is the main combination of Blackburn's midfield now.

Anyway, there has been no fixed main combination in the midfield.

In the Blackburn midfield, Mikku, Pires, Kaka and Duff are the most important at present and the four people who have played the most time. They almost took turns to play. Their playing time is almost the same. Because of the strong rise of Kaka this season, it took up a lot of time for the three of them to play.

In this game, George re-enabled the combination of Miku and Kaka.

Except for two fixed midfielders, Alonso and Hargreaves. George used Pires, Miku and Kaka in the midfield, while the single striker used Klose.

Although he only watched a few games, George still saw some of Olympia's tactics.

Olympia can stand out from the bags of Brazilian and Argentine teams, with tenacious perseverance and a high degree of teamwork spirit. The Paraguayan national team is known for its fierce defense and compact formation in South American football, and the Olympia team embodies the essence of it.

It can be said that Paraguay is the European team in South America.

But after all, Paraguay is also a South American team. The characteristics of some South American teams remain.

If it is a strong team in South America and a team that retains the South American style, George is even more worried. After all, those teams are full of geniuses and play as they please. Their kind of team, in a game, if the inspiration is sudden, no one can guard against it.

Just like Aimar, Saviola and Riquelme are all majestic in the systems they are familiar with. The European teams are all surprised. This is the genius of South America.

But George sneered at Olympia, a pseudo-European South American team. Olympia coach Pompi do said before the game: "They have won the Champions League and are very strong. But we are also the champions of the Copa Libertadores, and we have the ability to defeat them.

Pompiydo was full of confidence before the game.

Pompi do seems to be very confident that he can win the Copa Libertadores by defeating Brazil and Argentina.

But George did not refute his words at all. Because it is not worth refuting at all, playing defensive and compact formation with European teams is simply boring. With this kind of cooperation and tactics, Europe is the ancestor of South America.

Sure enough, after the game started, Blackburn quickly controlled the game.

Although it is a South American team, Blackburn's technology is no worse than theirs. In particular, there are four people composed of Pire, Miku, Kaka and Klose in the frontcourt, and their skills are excellent. In particular, the technical ability of Pires and Miku is not weaker than that of South American players.

Pires and Miku, even if they are thrown into the Brazilian League and the Argentine League, there will be no problem with the technology.

The Olympia team was very interesting and shrank back.

Seeing that the Olympia team shrank back, George did not continue to entangle with them in the midfield. With a big stroke, the team will go two sides.

George wants to let the Olympia team see what a European team is. Let's see what a Premier League team is, so instead of playing skills with others in the midfield, we started to play straightforwardly. The rhythm of the cross, long-range shot and header suddenly became very fast.

Maybe in South America, Olympia has a good defense.

Therefore, you can win the Copa Libertadores in the strong teams such as Brazil and Argentina. But in the face of Blackburn's fierce playing style, it can't be guarded at all.

Soon after 17 minutes of the game, Pires made a cross on the sidelines, and Klose dived to the top of his head and scored the first goal of the game.

"Klose! This is Blackburn's first time playing in the Toyota Cup, and it is Blackburn's first goal in the Toyota Cup.

"Klose, he has the most valuable qualities of a German player. That is, the more important the game, the better his performance. Since he followed George to England, especially to Blackburn, Klose has performed particularly well in every important game.

In the League Cup final, Klose is the best player. For the first Premier League champion, Klose is the best scorer in the Premier League. In the Champions League final, it is still Klose's final goal. Klose is George's most important striker.

Mortson did not hide his love for Klose. The appreciation for Klose is also very high.

Klose has completely conquered British football.

Many famous players in British football have given up their feud with German football. There is a lot of praise for Klose. Klose, who came to England from the age of 17, from the English Second Division to the Premier League, has become a world-class striker step by step. Many people in the British football world like it very much.

Of course, this has something to do with Klose, who is very low-key.

The British media is very developed. But even they are rarely able to catch Klose's off-court life. Moreover, Klose and his mentor George are completely different and have never offended the media. Therefore, the relationship with the media is also quite good.

After Klose saw the goal, he quickly waved his hand and told the player not to come over. Then a man came to the front of George. George thought that Klose was going to give him a hug, but he didn't expect to be in front of George, and he suddenly stopped.

Then he made the action of Beberto's cradle, which is very famous in world football. Now many players who follow me understand and come here to do this action together.

George was stunned. Only then did I understand what Klose meant. So he immediately laughed and then made this cradle move with Klose.

"Ye, is Klose's girlfriend pregnant. Haven't you heard that Klose has a baby?" Alan. Hansen was very surprised by Klose's celebration.

"I know, I know this." Mottson said with a smile. Klose is not celebrating his girlfriend's pregnancy, but celebrating George's wife's birth. I just heard that George's beautiful lawyer wife is pregnant.

"With the relationship between George and Klose, it is normal for Klose to celebrate with George after scoring a goal."

Alan. Hansen nodded. For Morterson's connections, Alan. Hansen is not jealous. After all, it's different from myself, Alan. Hansen is a star of Liverpool and has a brand, a Liverpool team brand. So even if it's Alan. Hansen appreciates Ferguson, and he will not appreciate Ferguson. Because Ferguson is the head coach of Manchester United. Of course, Alan. Hansen doesn't like Ferguson.

But Mottson is different.

Morterson has a wide range of friends in British football, and he has friends in all clubs. So George's wife is pregnant, Alan. Hansen didn't know, but Mottson could know.

After a goal ahead, George was not in a hurry.

Blackburn returned to his own rhythm. George wants to let the Olympia team see what defense is and what a counterattack is.

The Olympia team plays overall football.

After falling behind, they want to get it back in a hurry. However, they have neither a talented superstar who can change the situation on their own, nor do they have the mature team style of a European team. Therefore, except for getting some threatening free kicks, I didn't get any good opportunities in sports.

When their attack was tired, Blackburn's counterattack was up.

At the end of the first half, Lucio in the back suddenly plugged in from behind. To catch the Olympic team off guard, Lucio ran 40 meters away from the opponent's gate before passing the ball to Klose in front of him.

After Klose took the ball to the opponent's penalty area, he did not shoot, but passed it back to the vicinity of the penalty area.

Miku, who was inserted in the back, easily scored the goal. Miku is very adaptable, or with Miku's talent, he can easily integrate into the new tactical system as long as he wants. Now Miku, George completely uses him as Lampard.

But Miku did a great job.

Of course, sometimes George will let Miku help Kaka in the middle. Even so, Miku can use his excellent passing ability to complete George's arrangement beautifully.

George likes it very much.

Miku is like this. As long as he is willing to change, there is no formation that he can't adapt to.

It's just that Miku didn't have a hard performance before. Therefore, his inner self-esteem is very strong. On the contrary, it should be Miku's low self-esteem. He covered his inferiority with introvertedness and arrogance, but with the winning of several important championships, Miku began to really let go of himself.

So he is willing to try and adapt.

Although Miku is still introverted, George looked at the changing Miku and became more and more happy.

"Two to zero, it seems that there is no suspense in the Toyota Cup this time. Blackburn was very easy, leading 1-0 in the first half. In the first 22 Toyota Cups, European clubs and South American clubs divided the world equally, winning the Toyota Cup eleven times.

"If Blackburn wins this time, the European team will surpass the South American team with 12 championships."

In fact, in the history of the Toyota Cup, the early champions were basically South American teams. At that time, the European team was at an absolute disadvantage when it met the South American team. But since the emergence of the Bosman Act, not only European football has been affected, but also the whole world football.

It has been more than seven years since the Bosman Act. In this process, only the Boca youth team has won the Toyota Cup once, and the other champions are European teams. And basically, he won the championship without any suspense.

It is obvious that the overall development of football is emphasized today, and European teams are increasingly dominant against South American teams.

The second half of the game is still under Blackburn's control.

It's really because Blackburn's counterattack is too surprising. Speed, this kind of counterattack that emphasizes speed, makes the Olympia completely unpreventable.

In the 69 minutes of the game, Kaka once again completed a beautiful long-distance attack. The score was fixed at 3-0.

Kaka's long-distance attack has appeared in several games this season. Therefore, many people are not surprised.

In the end, Blackburn won zero with the goals of Klose, Miku and Kaka.

Congratulations to Blackburn! This is the first Toyota Cup champion in Blackburn's history! It is also Blackburn's fifth champion this year, the Premier League champion, the Champions League champion, the Community Shield champion, the European Super Cup champion, and the Toyota Cup champion. This is the five crowns.

Congratulations to George! With this Toyota Cup champion, George really became the head coach of the Grand Slam. At the age of 34, George has become a rare Grand Slam coach in European football. Congratulations to George, George has become a miracle in world football!"
