23 Fame with one goal (Part 2)
In Blackburn's locker room, the atmosphere was very depressing. Blackburn coach Ray Shaford was already furious and pointed at the Blackburn players and cursed.
"Do you know what team we are facing? It is a team from the B League, a B team! What are we? We are the Premier League champion team. But looking at what shit you played in the first half, it's simply a shame for the Premier League team."
Ray Shaford himself is not a coach who likes to get angry. Last season, he helped Daglish win the Premier League championship. After officially becoming Blackburn's head coach this season, his performance was so poor at first that the coaching position began to become unstable. Fortunately, Blackburn's performance in recent games is good, but the coaching position is still shaky.
The huge pressure made Shaford unable to control his emotions. But after all, Shaford is an experienced coach who suppressed his anger.
"Most of their troops are concentrated in the middle, and our strategy in the second half is to attack their two wings. Daniel's young player was already very embarrassed in the first half of the defense, and concentrated his firepower to break through the two wings in the second half."
Shaford began to introduce the players to the tactics for the second half.
…………
At the same time, on the other side, George greeted the players at the door of the locker room and finally entered the locker room. Although many people were very tired due to full defense in the first half. After all, it was a Premier League team, and Burnley had never encountered such a strong opponent yet. But everyone had a smile on their faces.
The atmosphere in the locker room was very good, and I got together to chat in groups of three or three.
George clapped his hands and made everyone's eyes regain George. "The performance in the first half was very good, and everyone tried their best to defend. The effect was also very good. The score of 1:0 is the best reward for you."
George's words fell, "Mmmmm..." All the players shouted loudly.
When they were almost venting, George knocked on the tactical board. "But I want to criticize him, what about Daniel?" Looking at Daniel's smiling expression, George pointed at Daniel expressionlessly.
Everyone was shocked by George's words. Daniel was the hero in the first half. Not only did he withstand Blackburn's attack, but he also scored the only goal for Burnley in the 28th minute.
Including Carl Pat next to him, he also looked at George with confusion.
"Daniel, that counterattack in the first half was our only chance. At that time, Hackby was better than you. As long as your ball was passed, it would be an empty goal. Even Pobosky's chance was better than you. You should pass the ball instead of shooting at that opportunity." George criticized Daniel very seriously.
George was not worried at all, and criticizing Daniel would undermine his enthusiasm. Since he was fourteen, Daniel grew up under George's scolding.
"Yes, head." Daniel smiled and quickly apologized to George.
"Yeah." George nodded, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face. "But to be honest, Daniel, your shot was very beautiful. It was definitely this." George gave Daniel a thumbs up and praised Daniel.
"Okay, the first half is over. The defense was done well in the first half. Blackburn must have counterattacked in the second half. They have not had strong penetration ability in the middle, so they will definitely step up the breakthrough on the wing. Rennon, Coyd, you two continue to protect Daniel's side in the second half. Murphy, you are helping Grant's side. The three lines continue to maintain close contact, don't give Blackburn a little chance. Our strategy in the second half is still defensive counterattack, and we respond to changes with the same change."
Before coming to Ewood Park, George had a complete plan. When playing against the attack, Burnley was definitely not Blackburn's opponent. So he could only play this defensive counterattack tactic.
"Michael, your dispatch in the midfield is the most important thing. We have two quicker things in the frontcourt, and we need your pass. You didn't do well in this first half, so you must pay attention to reading the game in the second half."
Barack was already good enough in the first half, whether it was defense or offense, but George knew that Barack was far from exploring his potential now. The requirements for Barack George have always been very strict.
Barack didn't say much, and he just nodded vigorously when he heard George's words.
"Daniel, you can also insert appropriately on the basis of a stable defense in the second half. Berg is not fast enough. As long as you intercept the ball, don't hesitate when counterattacking. Coyd, you will be able to make up for Daniel's position at that time."
George drew three arrows in the frontcourt and drew another circle behind. "When we counterattacked, we required speed. So we didn't need to invest too much force, just three to four people."
After explaining the tactics, George pressed his hands down.
"That group of bastards in Blackburn, let's stay in the fourth-level league forever. Mitchell, you were on the court that year, what did you think of?" Insufficient strength, of course, it requires mental power to make up for it.
Mitchell clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, "Fuck Blackburn to death, I only think of this."
"Yes, fuck Blackburn to death." Miller and Grant, who had experienced that incident, also agreed with Mitchell.
George waved his hand. "Yes, fuck Blackburn to death. We're right at Ewood Park, fuck them at Blackburn's home court."
…………
After the start of the second half, George did not sit in the coach's seat, but stood straight on the court. All Blackburn fans booed Chu Xiaoyao, mixed with insults to George.
But it wasn't just George standing alone, and Shaford was also standing on the court, watching the game anxiously.
After she got the ball, she slowed down a little while gasping for breath. This game was so tiring. The German man was in good health, full of energy, and good defensive skills. Barack followed Sherwood tightly in this game, which made Sherwood's physical strength reach its limit.
However, Sherwood slowed down the pace, but Barack did not rest. With his long legs stretched out, he actually broke the ball under Sherwood's feet. Barack handed the ball to Murphy, and Murphy quickly handed it to Barack again. Barack rubbed his right foot and rubbed the ball to the left.
"It's Daniel. Daniel, who scored a goal in the first half, got the goal. Daniel took the ball and Berg could not keep up with Daniel's speed at all. There is no defensive player in front of Daniel."
In an instant, all the fans on the court held their breath because the current situation was exactly the same as the first half.
However, in the favorable situation of Blackburn, the two central defenders did not press near the center circle like they did in the first half. They both retreated very quickly to protect the nearest of the small penalty area.
"Daniel's speed is very fast, but Henterry has already stood at the position. Daniel starts, but he does not throw away Henterry. Henterry is experienced and is not shook by Daniel, but has firmly stood at the position."
"Daniel passed the ball! Near the penalty area, see who it is? Barack, there is no defensive player around Barack. Barack, shoot!!!!!!!!!!!"
"gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Barak's goal, Burnley led two goals in the away game. Beautiful counterattack."
"Burnley scored one goal with just three passes."
With this goal, more than 20,000 Blackburn fans suddenly lost their voices. Burnley fans were singing and dancing, and a red wave had already formed in the stands.
George deliberately waved his fist in front of Shaford, then raised his fist to demonstrate to Blackburn fans. George knew that the game must be decided.
"Daniel and Barack each completed a goal and an assist. The nineteen-year-old Barack and seventeen-year-old Daniel, such a young man completely captured Ewood Stadium. Let's remember these two young men, they will definitely be amazing stars in the future. Paul, what do you think?"
"Martin, you're right. Especially Daniel, I believe that the England national team will definitely have a place in the future."
