Coaching legend

Chapter 217: Out of Control

"Klose! He saved Blackburn. Otherwise, George would have to leave Goodison Park with zero points."

"Klose, this is Klose's fifth goal in the fourth game. Klose, who has been criticized, suddenly got his way this season."

On August 21, George led Blackburn to Goodison Park to challenge Everton, who was ranked at the bottom. Everton's performance in recent years has been very poor, extremely poor. Their mission is to participate in the Premier League every year.

But Blackburn, which was the strongest in the first three games, was caught off guard by Everton after arriving at Everton.

Just four minutes into the game, Everton took the lead and scored a goal. Although it was at home, Everton did not get arrogant. After scoring a goal, they began to defend desperately. Everton knew that they were not as strong as Blackburn, so they just wanted to keep their current one-goal lead.

George deployed his troops and began to besiege Everton's goal not long after the start of the game.

Unfortunately, there was no way to break through Everton's goal. Fortunately, at the last moment, Klose's flash allowed George to get a point. Pires on the wing made a cross, and Klose found the ball between Everton's defenders.

A header prevented Blackburn from losing.

George had a gloomy face after the game. Although George did not think his team could win every game. But he was still very angry that he could not beat a weak team like Everton.

For the league, George's most admired one was Mourinho. Compared with others, Mourinho was definitely very experienced in playing in the league. Mourinho's team rarely lost points in the league, especially against weak teams.

On the other hand, Liverpool, whether it was Benitez or Dalglish later. They were nicknamed "Robbing the Rich to Help the Poor" by fans. Because their Liverpool played very well when facing strong teams. In the game against strong teams, Liverpool has always maintained the foundation of a giant.

But Liverpool has not won a league title in the 20 years since the establishment of the Premier League. The biggest problem is that they lost too many points to weak teams.

Therefore, George's conclusion is that as long as the results against strong teams are not much different, and all the games that should be won are won. Then there is almost no problem with the league championship. Just like Mourinho's Chelsea, they rarely lose to weak teams.

So after the game was tied, George didn't smile at all.

If there is happiness, then there is only one, that is, Klose is becoming more and more like a striker. Maybe the hat trick against Newcastle United has increased Klose's self-confidence. Anyway, Klose is getting more and more calm in front of the goal.

He is not in a hurry when he gets the ball, passes more and more freely, and shoots without dragging, and his confidence is overflowing in shooting. Many opportunities that he didn't shoot before will also be taken.

George likes this change very much.

"Klose, Klose again!" Motson shouted loudly: "This is already Klose's sixth goal this season. George's trust in Klose has finally paid off. Klose is in great form this season, and this is already his sixth goal. Blackburn is currently leading Sheffield Wednesday 1-0 at home."

August 28, the sixth round of the Premier League. Blackburn faced Sheffield Wednesday at home.

The fifth round was postponed because of West Ham United.

In the 32nd minute of the first half, Klose received a pass from Miku and successfully countered offside. Facing the goalkeeper of Sheffield Wednesday, he easily scored the first goal of the game.

It is very rare to have a stable scorer. Klose is now developing in this direction.

As the Blackburn players are getting better and better, Klose is getting more and more adapted to the current style of play. Klose's header advantage is needless to say. Now with a look or a move from Miku and Pires, Klose knows how to run.

The growth of shooting confidence has greatly increased Klose's number of goals.

In fact, whether in Burnley or Blackburn, Klose has not had few opportunities. But Klose has never had too much self-confidence, so he has not been able to seize those fleeting opportunities.

For strikers, time is always very short. They must choose the best way in the shortest time.

Now Klose can already grasp this opportunity.

Sheffield Wednesday's performance last season was still very good, and they succeeded in relegation early. And they took a step further and almost entered the top ten. Only four points behind the ninth place. However, this season, they were beaten into the region, with one draw and three losses in the first four games, and are currently ranked last in the Premier League.

The offensive ability is very poor, and only two goals were scored in the first four games. The defense is even worse, and eleven goals were scored in four games.

Such a fish belly George will never give up. Before the end of the first half, Pires received a pass from Duff and scored the second goal. In the second half, Blackburn continued to make progress. Deco, who came in from behind, received a pass from Klose and scored with a long shot.

In the end, Blackburn defeated Sheffield Wednesday 3-0 at home.

After five rounds of matches, Blackburn had four wins and one draw, ranking second in the Premier League. Manchester United had five wins and one draw in six games, surpassing Blackburn by three points. Arsenal had three wins, one draw and two losses in six games, ranking third in the Premier League

Such a ranking surprised many people. In the eyes of many analysts, the teams competing for the championship this season are still Arsenal and Manchester United. In their view, the role of Chelsea, Blackburn and Leeds United is to disrupt the situation and there is no chance of winning the championship.

But now look at this ranking, Blackburn has one less game but more points than Arsenal. All analysts don't know what to say.

And Klose's outstanding performance has made many commentators and football legends dumb. They spared no effort to criticize Klose at the beginning. In their view, a striker like Klose is only the main striker of a mid-to-lower-level team even if he reaches the English League One.

Klose is not worthy of the Premier League team at all, let alone the powerful Blackburn.

When analyzing Blackburn, Klose is Blackburn's biggest shortcoming. In their view, if Blackburn has a strong striker, the results will be greatly improved.

But now Klose suddenly broke out and scored six goals in five games. This made many football legends speechless. George came out at the right time to cheer for Klose.

In the five games in August, Blackburn won four and tied one, and like Manchester United, it was the team with the strongest momentum.

As the head coach of Blackburn, George was awarded the best coach of the Premier League in August. And Klose, who scored six goals, became the best player of the Premier League in August.

This is George's second best player of the month in the Premier League. After receiving this award, George praised Klose in front of reporters.

"When I first met Miro, he was still a 17-year-old young player. Although he was just an amateur player with rough skills and could only head the ball, I found characteristics in him that others did not have."

"He has good headers, strong explosive power, and absolute speed is not slow. Of course, there are two things I value most. The first is Miro's diligence, which is lacking in many young players. Many players always think how strong they are, or they will be complacent when they have a little achievement. But Miro is different, he is very hardworking. Among the players I have coached, Miro may not be the most talented, but he is the most hardworking. Just this point, I know that Miro's future must be not simple."

"Of course, there is another point, that is, Miro plays football with his brain. He knows his shortcomings, and he knows how to make up for his shortcomings."

"It is these two points that I am sure Miro will become a great man. The future of the German national team's striker will depend on Miro. At the latest within two years, Miro will definitely become the main striker of the German national team."

It is no longer a secret in the English football world that George likes Klose.

However, because Klose's goal efficiency has been too low in recent years, George praised Klose for his tactical qualities even when he praised him. This is the first time George praised Klose so cheesy. Klose stood next to George, and he was very embarrassed.

Those reporters knew that George liked Klose, but many people still questioned whether Klose could become the main striker of the German national team within two years.

In the current German national team, although Klinsmann and Voller, two super strikers, have retired. But there are still players like Bierhoff who are late bloomers, and there are also old but strong strikers like Kirsten.

Although these two are old, there is no sign of degeneration. Kirsten may be really old in two years, but Bierhoff may still be able to continue to be strong.

And there are also many young strikers starting to emerge, including Paul Linke, Jancker, and Oliver Neuville. They are all doing very well in German football now, and some of them have begun to join the German national team.

Moreover, there are still not many German players going abroad, especially in recent years. The head coach of the German national team will focus more on Germany.

If Klose wants to defeat them and become the main striker of the German national team in two years, he needs very high results. He needs dazzling results to attract the head coach of the German team.

Many people think that George is praising his players, which is a bit too much.

Faced with this view, George curled his lips in disdain. "Linke? Yankel? Neuville? What they should consider now is not how to become the main player of the German national team, but how to become Klose's partner. Whoever takes the lead here will have the opportunity to become the main striker of the German team."

In the next ten years, the German team will have no good strikers at all, and it will rely on Klose alone to support its face. He is over 30 years old and is still the main striker of the German national team. So George said this without any burden at all.

What's more, Klose is much stronger now than in history. Klose in history is still making a living in the amateur team of Kaiserslautern at this time. Now, Klose has played two seasons in the English League One and one season in the Premier League.
