Coaching legend

"Prince, Kaka is definitely the prince of Blackburn."

This was not said by Martin Taylor first. It was the Blackburn media who called it out.

Prince, no one has ever called him that in Blackburn's history. But maybe the title of prince is very common now, such as the prince of Madrid, the prince of Rome, the prince of Milan, etc. Therefore, the Blackburn media also followed suit and called Kaka the prince of Blackburn.

Kaka has all the conditions to become a prince.

First of all, Kaka is very handsome. Blackburn has no shortage of handsome guys, including Pires and Hargreaves. But Kaka is definitely the most handsome in the team. In addition, Kaka is young and has outstanding strength. This season, he has gradually become a regular main force of the team. Therefore, Kaka has become more and more an idol of Blackburn fans.

That's why the media shouted that Kaka is a prince.

Emerson once again became Kaka's back. This made Emerson very angry. Emerson has seen all kinds of scenes. It can be said that he has played against many superstars in the world, but he has never felt this kind of frustration.

Kaka!

Emerson gritted his teeth when he thought of this name. Who did he offend to be humiliated by a junior.

However, the Blackburn players were in no mood to care what Emerson thought.

After Klose scored, he immediately came back to celebrate with Kaka.

George saw the goal and just clapped his hands lightly. Roma's performance has dropped a lot now. If they can't even beat Roma, then Blackburn is really finished. But in front of Capello, George was more satisfied with defeating Roma with a defensive counterattack.

There was a sense of accomplishment.

What should Roma do?

Roma hesitated. But soon Roma resumed the attack, although it had been at a disadvantage in the past few seasons when it met Blackburn. But this is Roma's home court after all, and Roma can't let Blackburn be so rampant.

So their attack came up again.

Roma is no stranger to defensive counterattacks. The entire Italian league is full of defensive counterattack teams. But what they don't know is that Blackburn's defensive counterattacks are completely different from those of Italian clubs. The defensive counterattacks of Italian clubs gave birth to players like number nine and a half.

But George's Blackburn counterattacks completely rely on Alonso's dispatch, plus the fast attacks on the two wingers and Kaka's long-distance raids.

George emphasized only one word, fast.

What is a counterattack? Counterattack is to catch the opponent off guard. Only before the opponent can't react, it is most important to end the attack. So any counterattack should be fast, pass fast, run fast.

And now Blackburn has all the conditions.

In the frontcourt, in addition to Kaka's fast speed, Duff is also a very good winger. And Miku and Pires' passes are accurate and fast. They will never drag their feet. So George changed from the original midfield control style to the current defensive counterattack tactics.

Of course, Blackburn's defense is not the kind of defense that shrinks all the way to the backcourt.

Blackburn's defense starts from the midfield.

At the 23rd minute of the game, Blackburn got another excellent counterattack opportunity.

This time it was Duff on the right, who counterattacked very quickly. Running along the side with the ball, Candela followed Duff, but found that he couldn't keep up with Duff at all. Therefore, they controlled the inside line, because Duff was willing to go straight into the penalty area and shoot.

However, this time Duff did not go inside, but directly crossed the ball from the wing.

Samuel and Panucci were both staring at Klose. Because Klose is a famous header player in the world football. Among the eight goals in the World Cup, five were headers. Such performance made Klose famous.

Similarly, all the defenders were defending Klose's header.

But this time they were wrong. Someone rushed into the penalty area like a whirlwind, and before others could react, he fiercely inserted his head and shot at the goal.

"... Duff, cross... Kaka, it's Kaka!"

"The second goal, Blackburn's second goal. Kaka, it's Kaka! Kaka's header from behind, 2-0. Blackburn leads Roma 2-0 away from home."

"Blackburn's counterattack is really fast. A pass between one or two feet can form a shot."

"This is a counterattack that can be written into the textbook. Kaka, the most dazzling star of Blackburn in the first half of the game is Kaka. This 20-year-old player has performed extremely well this season. He has the same playing time as Miku. Kaka has started to take over the power in Blackburn."

"Pereira, if you see Kaka's performance, you should let him join the national team."

Pereira is the new head coach of the Brazilian national team after Scolari. Pereira is not an ordinary person. He was the head coach who led the Brazilian team to win the World Cup in 1994. Because Kaka came to England too early, he did not join the list of the Brazilian national team in the 2002 World Cup as history has done.

This is what Martin Taylor is talking about now.

Martin Taylor is not stingy with his praise for young talents.

"George has now turned defense into an art. Look at Blackburn's counterattack, it's definitely art." Andy Gray praised beside him.

"Hahaha, Andy, have you forgotten?"

Hearing Andy Gray's words, Martin Taylor laughed. "George is a head coach who comes from a defensive background. When he was at Burnley, he was famous for his counterattacks. But the counterattacks at that time were very ugly. Of course, it is understandable, after all, the strength of Burnley players at that time was limited."

"Look at the current Blackburn lineup. With good players, even the counterattacks are very good."

Andy Gray nodded.

"Yes, I almost forgot. George relied on counterattacks to defeat Chelsea and Arsenal in a row at Burnley to win the FA Cup and League Cup. Maybe Blackburn's style of play in the past few seasons is too beautiful, so I forgot this."

George did not continue to sit this time.

Instead, he stood up and applauded. When it comes to counterattacks, George likes Mourinho the most. Because Mourinho's counterattacks are so solid that they make people despair. And when counterattacking, they are fierce and powerful.

Whether it is the winger tactics when he was at Chelsea or the blitzkrieg when he went to Real Madrid.

His team's attack is all about speed. This is most obvious when he arrives at Real Madrid. Once they enter the counterattack, Ronaldinho, Di Maria, and Benzema all use speed to defeat their opponents. George admires this very much.

Therefore, when George formulated the tactics around Alonso, he learned from Mourinho's style of play in Real Madrid.

Now that he has Kaka, this style of play is more effective.

At the end of the first half, Blackburn led Roma 2-0.

Even Italian reporters were a little surprised. Because Blackburn played too easily. "The media in England think that Blackburn has lost a lot of strength this season. In particular, the departure of Deco and Makelele has made Blackburn's midfield very chaotic."

"But watching the first half of the game, Blackburn's midfield did not show any chaos. And Roma was completely unprepared for Blackburn's fast style of play. Blackburn's counterattacks are deadly."

He was so right.

Roma has seen many defensive counterattacks, but Blackburn's defensive counterattacks are definitely surprising. Capello is also an expert in defensive counterattacks, but he rarely sees Blackburn's type of counterattack.

Fast is the biggest feeling for Capello and Roma.

In the second half, Blackburn still played this way. Fast, that's fast.

As long as Roma's formation is slightly forward, leaving Blackburn a little space, they can see what a counterattack is. What a quick counterattack is.

When the game reached the 69th minute, Blackburn's offense scored again.

This time it was still a counterattack opportunity.

Emerson, who was very embarrassed in this game, failed to keep up with Kaka again. So he directly pulled Kaka down with his hands, and Blackburn got a free kick opportunity in the frontcourt.

It should be said that Emerson's strength should not be so embarrassed.

After all, Emerson is currently the best defensive midfielder in the world. Although Kaka is very strong, he is only a 20-year-old player after all. He lacks a lot of experience compared to Emerson. As long as Emerson can use a normal mentality, even if he can't completely freeze Kaka, he won't be so embarrassed.

But Emerson's mentality is a little unbalanced. There was no team in his eyes, only Kaka. So he was fooled by Kaka several times.

Kaka created a good free kick position. Pires stepped forward to take the penalty and scored in one fell swoop.

Pires is the first free kicker in Blackburn. And Pires' free kicks are very good, especially his arcing balls.

In the end, Blackburn defeated Roma with a hearty 3-0 at the Olympic Stadium in Rome.

Martin Taylor shouted after the game that George had completely conquered Roma. "George has led Blackburn to Rome for the fourth time. Whether the opponent is Roma or Lazio, George's team has performed well in Rome. George has completely conquered Rome in four seasons and four encounters."

Capello didn't say anything after the game. He just said that Blackburn did better than Roma.

And George's smile is very charming. But reporters who are familiar with George know that the brighter George smiles, the more arrogant George will be. "The reporters who said my team collapsed this season are all reporters with brain problems. And those football commentators are either uneducated or have ulterior motives."

George scolded more than half of the media in his first sentence. But George didn't care. Anyway, when George's performance was not good, they would definitely scold him. And when George's performance was good, they would naturally disappear.

So it doesn't matter whether you offend them or not.

"Anderson and Claude are excellent players. But Blackburn is a whole team, and it will not collapse because of the lack of one or two people."
