Coaching legend

The loss to Manchester United did not dampen the confidence of Blackburn players at all. It is normal for strong teams to win or lose.

Blackburn, who came on as a substitute, easily defeated Guerrilla in the first round of the League Cup and entered the second round of the League Cup.

Five days later, Blackburn played against Derby County at home.

Derby County's performance last season was absolutely amazing. It finally ranked ninth in the Premier League, which completely overturned the predictions of those experts before the season. In fact, not only last season, but also in the season before last, many expert media have predicted that Derby County will soon return to the English League One.

But Derby County first used its outstanding performance in the season before last, ranking 12th in the Premier League, and slapped those football commentators hard. Last season was even better, ranking ninth in the Premier League.

But this season, they were unable to continue their performance. In the previous nine rounds of games, they had two wins, two draws and five losses, and only accumulated eight points.

George will never let go of opponents of this level.

Of course, many media outlets were not only targeting the game itself, but also wanted to see who George would choose as a substitute for Sagnol. In their minds, Sun Jihai had already been excluded from the main lineup, because Sun Jihai had already played in the last League Cup game.

But when the big list came out, they were still very surprised. Because Sun Jihai was on George's starting list. Everyone understood that George chose Sun Jihai as a substitute for Sagnol.

Sun Jihai was not tested in this game, and Blackburn was very strong at home.

Pires, Duff, and Van Bronckhorst scored goals, allowing Blackburn to easily win the game with a score of 3-0.

After playing the tenth round of the Premier League, Blackburn ushered in the most intensive schedule.

On October 14, Blackburn played in the League Cup for the first time this season. Because Blackburn is fourth in the Premier League and participates in the League Cup. So there is no need to participate in the first and second rounds of the League Cup, and you can directly participate in the third round of the League Cup.

In the third round of the League Cup, Blackburn played against Norwich at home.

This is a team in the English League One, because they just finished the Premier League three days ago. So George let many young players play. Even some players in the reserve team played. Let Parker, Drogba and others play the main role. This is not because Blackburn's players are not strong enough, but George has never thought about achieving any results in the League Cup.

Although this team, which is mostly composed of youth teams and reserve teams, worked very hard. But in the end, they lost to the English League One team Norwich with a score of 1 to 2.

However, George had no time to think about this game, because Blackburn went to Leicester two days later to challenge Leicester City.

Unlike Derby County, Leicester City's performance in the past few seasons is still very good. It has always been a mid-level team in the Premier League, and it has been hanging around in the seventh, eighth, and ninth places in the Premier League. Although the team is strong, George did not send out all the main lineup.

It was a lineup of half main and half substitute. Deco, Pires and Klose, who are in good physical condition, all played, while Miku and Duff sat on the bench. However, Blackburn's substitutes are also strong, including Hargreaves, Bellamy and Gallas.

Leicester City is not weak, but Blackburn, which has been in good form in the Premier League recently, still relied on Bellamy and Klose's goals to beat Leicester City 2-1 away.

Especially when Klose scored, even the commentator sighed.

"Miro Klose, this is his ninth goal for Blackburn this season and his eighth goal in the Premier League. He has already tied the number of goals he scored last season. The young man George brought from Germany for free four years ago has now become the best striker in the Premier League."

"Now let's take a look at Klose's characteristics. Klose's most powerful ability is his amazing header ability. Among the nine goals this season, five were scored by Klose. Klose is not very tall, but Klose's jumping ability, waist and abdomen strength, air control ability, and judgment of the landing point of high balls are definitely top-notch in the world of football."

"In addition to headers, many of Klose's other goals are counter-attacks. Offside. We can see Klose's explosiveness and speed. Although not world-class, they are also quite powerful. "

"But the best thing about Klose is that he can perfectly fit into George's tactics. After retreating, he was very calm in getting the ball and passing the ball, and he could perfectly fit in with the two wingers. "

"Of course, Klose still has shortcomings. The biggest shortcoming is that his footwork is still a bit rough. The shooting in the penalty area is not particularly decisive, which is the shortcoming that restricts Klose from becoming a world-class striker. But I believe Klose will slowly change this problem. Klose's future is worth looking forward to. "

Klose's outstanding performance made all the English football world admire him.

Five days after defeating Leicester City, Blackburn faced their opponents in the second round of the League Cup at home.

After the second round of the League Cup, Blackburn will face the twelfth round of the Premier League two days later.

The intensive competitions almost made George collapse, but fortunately, the current Blackburn is not the Blackburn of last season. Last season, Blackburn's substitute lineup was too poor and could not support the two-line battle at all. But now Blackburn's substitute strength has greatly increased, and George is not afraid of the two-line battle.

Blackburn's points in the Premier League are very good at present. After losing to Manchester United, Blackburn immediately ushered in two consecutive victories. Manchester United has one win and one loss, so now Blackburn is still one game less and three points behind Manchester United.

Blackburn is still biting Manchester United and is still an important competitor for the Premier League championship.

As George said before the season, George's goal this season is the League Cup. After finally entering the League Cup, George is unwilling to give up the League Cup.

Therefore, George attaches great importance to the League Cup. In the second round of Blackburn's League Cup, the opponent is Moscow Lokomotiv from Russia. Moscow Lokomotiv may still be a strong team in Russia, but its strength in Europe is average.

Compared with another team in Moscow, Moscow Spartak, the strength of Lokomotiv is far behind. In addition, ten years ago, with the disintegration of the Soviet Union and the decline of the Russian economy, Russian teams have lost their glory.

Although Moscow Lokomotiv has achieved good results in the past two years, it has reached the semi-finals of the Cup Winners' Cup last season and the season before.

However, George did not take Moscow Lokomotiv in his heart.

In the second round of the League Cup, Blackburn fans were more enthusiastic. In the last home game of the League Cup, Blackburn had already secured the victory. The fans came just to watch the European game.

But this game is different. This is the first game of the second round of the League Cup. This is a suspenseful game, so the fans are more enthusiastic.

The fans are very enthusiastic, and the state of Blackburn players is even more terrifying. Blackburn is in a hot state at home and beat Moscow Lokomotiv four goals. Klose, who is in a hot state in the Premier League, did not score in this game, but he had three assists and completed a beautiful assist hat trick.

As a front midfielder, Miku has scored six goals for Blackburn. Among the Blackburn team, the goal ranking is second. Miku's goal rate is even the same as that of the forward. Of course, this has a lot to do with the 4-2-3-1 specially created by George.

Under this formation, the assists of the striker Klose are rising sharply. And the attacking midfielder Miku, on the contrary, scored a lot of goals.

The home team defeated Moscow Lokomotiv with a score of 4-0. Even Mortensen, who was commentating on this game, gave a smiling evaluation.

"There is no doubt that Blackburn has entered the top 32 of the League Cup. Moscow Lokomotiv had no offensive in front of Blackburn. If Blackburn had not recovered a little later, it would have been possible to score five or six goals."

"George led the team to play the League Cup for the first time, and he was able to enter the top 32 of the League Cup so easily. The result is very good."

"George said that Blackburn's goal this season is the League Cup championship. Now there are exactly ten games away from the League Cup championship. Where Blackburn can go, let us wait and see."

Although the League Cup was eliminated, no one cared about that. Because it is obvious that George does not attach importance to the League Cup at all. With the Premier League and the League Cup, the weight of the League Cup has dropped a lot. At present, Blackburn Rovers has one foot in the top 32 of the League Cup and ranks second in the Premier League. The results are great.

With the recent hot state, although they just finished the second round of the League Cup. But two days later, Blackburn still defeated Liverpool 2-0 at home with a strong attitude.

Liverpool has achieved very good results this season. After Houllier's cleaning and reconstruction, Liverpool's performance has improved a lot. It's just that the defense line still has a big problem. When they met Blackburn Rovers, which has been in good form recently, they were beaten 0-2 by Blackburn Rovers.

More importantly, in this round, Manchester United was beaten 3-1 by Tottenham.

This time, Blackburn Rovers actually played one less game, but the points have already tied Manchester United. Even with the advantage of goal difference, it ranked first in the Premier League. After seven rounds of games, Blackburn Rovers returned to the top of the Premier League.

Blackburn Rovers' outstanding performance in this stage made George very proud and smiling all day long. Even when facing those fans who made things difficult for him, he answered them in a friendly manner.

"Hello, Coach Levi."

But the good mood disappeared with Kennedy's arrival. Kennedy looked at George with a smile, and then said slowly.

"Coach Levi, I want to discuss Damien's contract on his behalf."

During the Qingming Festival, the family is quite busy. I have to go to worship tomorrow, and I have a lot of things to prepare.
