Coaching legend - Chapter 546 I'm back

Although George is known as a magical coach in European football, George is not God after all.

He can’t make Burnley a strong team all at once. He can’t implant all his ideas into the current Burnley all at once.

There are many world-class coaches.

But many of them have gone through Waterloo. One of the biggest reasons is that they are always superstitious about their own set. Regardless of the current situation of the team.

Just like Barcelona’s style of play, it is excellent. Even if George criticizes Barcelona every day, he has to admire Barcelona’s strength. But if any coach is crazy and wants to transplant Barcelona’s style of play, then he is doomed to fail.

Because in the current world football, there is no other Barcelona.

Barcelona’s current style of play is the result of decades of cultivation. It is not something that can be transplanted if you want to.

Look at Benítez in history. He came to Inter Milan and left in disgrace after only half a season. Why?

It is because Benítez forcefully moved his own set to Inter Milan. He did not consider the current situation of Inter Milan players at the time.

Is Benítez stupid? No, he is a world-famous coach. He just took over Inter Milan at the wrong time. Mourinho’s treble in the previous season put too much pressure on Benítez. Benítez’s eagerness for success was also the reason for his failure.

Benítez’s tactics made Inter Milan players at a loss.

The same is true for Burnley now.

They are used to the previous style of play. George can’t change it for a while.

And George can’t make big changes. When George was a rookie, he just took over Blackburn and carried out a big cleanup. The results at the beginning of the season were too poor. If it weren’t for Jack Walker’s support, he would have been fired N times.

George is no longer the impulsive young coach he was back then. In more than ten years of coaching career, George has accumulated rich coaching experience.

Therefore, George did not change much for Burnley. He just added some other factors on the basis of the original Burnley.

The style of play designed by George for Burnley is very simple. Wilshere, although George gave him the responsibility of midfield. But not to the extent that Wilshere is Alonso. So George used Wilshere and Gareth Gray to guard the middle.

They are all players who can run, pass and defend.

Their biggest role in the middle is to defend and then pass the ball out.

The main route of attack is on the left. Ashley Chapman has excellent skills, although his body is still not very good. But after so many years of playing career, he has also learned to be cunning. Know how to protect himself.

So when George attacks, Ashley Chapman will come to the middle and give the left to Daniel.

Although Daniel is 31 years old. But the speed has not dropped much, and he still runs at lightning speed. So George gave the left to Daniel, which is the main direction of Burnley’s attack.

“Beep–“

The referee’s whistle kept ringing during the game.

“This is the sixth foul for Burnley within ten minutes of the start of the game. Although Burnley used to run actively, they never committed such a dense foul. It seems that this is George’s pre-match arrangement.”

Motson was right.

This is indeed George’s pre-match arrangement. It’s not because of the opponent Bolton. In fact, Bolton’s style of play is also very tough, and it is one of the toughest teams in the Premier League. There is not much advantage in a head-on confrontation with him.

George just wants to tell Burnley in this way. Running and defense must be effective.

Although Burnley players ran actively at the beginning, most of them were useless. Not knowing how to run out of space is of course related to the lack of excellent passers. And running in defense looks very active, but in fact, it disrupts their own defense in the process of running.

So the first thing George asked was to be active, but effective. You can’t just run without kicking.

Coyle frowned tightly at Burnley’s style of play.

Bolton’s style of play is really simple. Many times, they kick the ball with a big foot, and then let Kevin Davis control the ball in the frontcourt. Then they pass it to the two wingers or the players who come in from the middle.

This style of play is simple, but very effective.

Especially when there is a center forward like Kevin Davis who is physically strong and has strong impact.

But Coyle is not satisfied with this style of play. Coyle prefers a delicate style of play on the ground. He really wants to change the current style of play. Although he knows that this is not something that can be achieved overnight. But he is also working towards this.

That’s why he bought the Korean player Li Qinglong and is preparing to loan Wilshere. All for this purpose.

Now Bolton has begun to change slowly. Unexpectedly, George, the famous coach, frequently used this foul tactic in ordinary Premier League games. This made Coyle despise George very much.

This foul affected the progress of the game. Or it affected Bolton’s progress in the game.

“What does George want to do? Does he just want a draw? But a draw is understandable. Burnley has lost five of its last five games. And in the previous nine games, there were only three draws and six losses. Getting a draw in this game is an improvement.”

“But this shouldn’t be George’s style.”

Motson looked at the chaotic scene on the field and shook his head.

But George was very calm.

Chaos, the more chaotic the better. Bolton has now formed its own style under Coyle. But when George took over Burnley, Burnley did not have its own style.

In this case, George chose to beat Bolton to death with random punches.

Bolton was a little confused by Burnley’s random beating. And Burnley seized the opportunity of this chaos.

In the 23rd minute of the game, Wilshere passed the ball to Ashley Chapman in front. Ashley Chapman took the ball to the middle and suddenly gave the ball to Daniel who came up from the left to assist.

“Ashley, pass the ball to Daniel… Daniel, he passed Robinson. Cross…”

Daniel’s cross from the left is absolutely world-class.

The ball is fast and the arc is enough.

“Thomasson, header!”

“Good! Thomasson Locke, a 1.92-meter-tall center forward, beat Cahill with a header! Jasklainen was unable to stop the ball from entering. It was because the distance was too close and the speed was too fast.”

“Ashley Chapman, Daniel Morrison, and Thomasson Locke are all players from Burnley’s youth training camp. The quality of Burnley’s youth training camp is still guaranteed.”

After the game started, the somewhat quiet Turf Moor Stadium burst into huge cheers.

Although it was Thomasson Locke who scored the goal, the fans cheered more for Daniel’s name.

“Daniel, you are our eternal captain… clatter… our eternal captain.” Burnley fans are obviously very happy that Daniel can come back.

Unlike George, Daniel had no choice but to leave Burnley. For Daniel, every time he returns to Turf Moor Stadium, the fans welcome him with applause. This time, he was able to return to Burnley to save the team at the most critical moment, and Burnley fans were even more delighted.

Seeing Thomason Locke score a goal, George also breathed a sigh of relief.

The first step of his transformation of Burnley was successful.

Although some crooked ways were used, scoring a goal on the field was the hard truth.

Coyle was very dissatisfied with Bolton’s performance on the field. Burnley fouled and put the game into a quagmire. That was because George had just taken over Burnley. But Bolton already had his own style in his hands.

He was so easily affected by Burnley’s emotions.

Goal, things are easy.

Especially for a team like Burnley. The players are all young people, and the least lacking is passion. With a one-goal lead, all their passion came out.

Burnley turned out to be a team with very strong running.

Once the passion came out, their running became more active. They started to press non-stop in the frontcourt, forcing Bolton to be in a hurry.

In the 36th minute of the game, Gareth Gray in the midfield stole the ball from Mwamba. Then he passed it to Thomason Locke in front. The tall Thomason Locke lightly headed the ball and passed it to Welbeck next to him.

Welbeck swept the ball into Bolton’s goal with his right foot.

“Two to zero. Burnley seems to be welcoming the first victory in ten Premier League games.”

George waved his arms fiercely on the sidelines.

Burnley’s style of play is really simple. One is to go to Daniel’s left, and the other is to pass the ball directly to the center forward Thomason Locke.

But in a mid-to-lower-level team like Burnley, the simpler and more direct the play, the better the effect. George did not conduct any complicated tactical drills during training. It is this simplest and most direct training method.

Now it seems that the effect is indeed good.

“Carl, relegation? I am not worried about relegation at all now.”

George looked at Carl next to him and said with a smile.

“George, I have never worried from the beginning.”

“Yes, there is no need to worry.” George laughed. “Who are we? The two of us have led the team to win the Champions League. Relegation? Easy! Haha!”

George’s confidence is justified.

What is a random punch to kill a master. In this game, George made full use of the running ability of Burnley players to disrupt Bolton’s tactics.

Although the game was a bit chaotic, it was within George’s expectations.

Bolton was not mentally prepared for this chaotic and changing style of play. No good solution was found in the second half. Burnley’s counter-grabbing effect in the frontcourt was very obvious, and Bolton was in a mess in the back.

In the end, George performed again at Turf Moor Stadium and won 2-0.

It was also the first victory Burnley won in the past ten games.

Facing the reporter after the game, George smiled and said, “I’m back.”

There is only one update today. I will adjust it recently and resume normal updates soon.

Finally, I have to complain. Regarding Liu Xiang, it is normal for athletes to withdraw from the game due to injuries and problems during the game. But I want to complain about those media.

A few days ago, the Chinese media had a good moral lesson. They criticized their badminton players, saying that they tarnished the Olympic spirit. I don’t know what the Olympic spirit is, but they are just tactics, so why criticize them like that?

But today, Liu Xiang, all the media came out in an instant to say that Liu Xiang is great when he stands on the Olympic stage. Just like four years ago, there was overwhelming support.

I don’t understand why when Liu Xiang retired and made mistakes, the media all said that Liu Xiang was great, successful, touching, and the best in Asia. Why are the media so tolerant? But for the badminton players a few days ago, they have to raise it to the moral level and criticize them?
