Chapter 440 The Price of Underestimating Others

George was not proud of defeating Chelsea 3-0.

Chelsea is weak now. It's not because Chelsea players are poor. It's because this team is a reorganized team. There are too many players who have just come to Chelsea. Look at this game, Abbiati, Gallas, Bridge, Veron, Duff, Mutu, more than half of the main players have just come to the team.

Therefore, Chelsea's running-in is far from enough.

If Blackburn can't even beat Chelsea like this, then it's a failure.

Facing the reporter, George was not polite at all. "Before the game, many media said that this was a game between two upstarts. I am really interested in this statement."

The reporter was stunned. He didn't expect George to take the initiative to mention this statement.

In theory, the reputation of upstarts is not good no matter who is attached to it. Because this sentence is obviously derogatory. Now, I didn't expect George to take the initiative to say it.

"I'm just wondering. Those so-called wealthy clubs have spent a lot of money in recent years. Real Madrid buys superstars every year, Barcelona spends a lot of money, and Inter Milan has spent a lot of money over the years. Why do the media praise them for their ambition when they buy players?"

"And when we buy players, they say we are nouveau riche. I don't understand why people treat us so differently."

"Is it because those wealthy clubs have a better history than us? Because those wealthy clubs performed better than us decades ago, so they buy players now to revive the team. And because we don't have a glorious history, buying people is nouveau riche?"

George smiled disdainfully.

George found this very funny. Nouveau riche, what is nouveau riche?

Wealthy clubs, the world's number one wealthy club, Real Madrid, their transfer fees after the new millennium are definitely not lower than any other club. Historically, after the new millennium, Real Madrid's accumulated transfer fees for ten years were comparable to Chelsea.

Even Barcelona, ​​which is known for its best youth training camp, spends less? It can even be said that their spending after the new millennium is also the highest among all clubs in the world. Even compared with Real Madrid, it is only a little less.

But people never blame them.

Is it because they are rich? Rich can spend money lavishly and buy superstars casually without any condemnation. Instead, they are praised by people and think they are ambitious.

Why do they say that other teams are nouveau riche when they spend more?

Humph!

"Modern football is simply money football. Whoever has money buys players, it's normal. Everyone does this, whether it's a rich or a nouveau riche. So no one should say anything about anyone else? I have money, I buy players, it's none of other people's business!"

"Why can they buy players, but others can't? Cut!"

After George finished speaking, he directly pushed away the reporters surrounding him.

All reporters did not block George. Because what George said was too shocking. Although everyone knew it, no one fired directly at the rich like George did.

Look at George's criticism. All the rich were involved.

George was the first to openly attack the giants. Why can you buy players as you please, while others who buy players will be called nouveau riche? Although it was a simple meaning, no one had ever said it like George.

They could all imagine the reaction of the giants' fans after George said this.

It is estimated that the number of people cursing George increased exponentially.

Unfortunately, George didn't care about them at all.

…………

After defeating Chelsea, Blackburn ushered in the first game of the Champions League.

Blackburn challenged PSV Eindhoven away.

PSV Eindhoven is a giant in the Dutch Eredivisie. However, in the past few seasons, PSV Eindhoven's performance has been average. Its performance in China is not as good as Ajax. In the Champions League, its performance is even more average.

However, since Hiddink took over PSV Eindhoven, PSV Eindhoven's performance has shown a clear upward trend.

Hiddink is a world-famous coach.

As early as 1988, he had led PSV Eindhoven to win the Champions League. He is a truly world-class coach.

Later, Hiddink coached many clubs. Including Real Madrid. Of course, the Dutch national team he coached later was an alternative landscape in the 1998 World Cup. The Dutch national team at that time was full of passion. Although it lost to the Brazilian national team on penalties, the Dutch team perfectly demonstrated its strong offensive power and beautiful and smooth overall cooperation in the game, which was the most pleasing to the eye.

After that, Hiddink chose the South Korean team.

Although there were many off-field factors for South Korea to reach the semi-finals in the World Cup. But there is no doubt that the strength of the South Korean team coached by Hiddink has increased significantly.

Hiddink also relied on South Korea to enter the semi-finals of the World Cup and was called a magical coach.

But Hiddink is a person with real ability.

Before Hiddink came to Eindhoven, Eindhoven had been suppressed in the Eredivisie for many years. But as soon as Hiddink came, Eindhoven immediately won the Eredivisie championship. In fact, at this time, Ajax was stronger.

Ajax has many talented players.

It's a pity that they still couldn't beat Hiddink's Eindhoven.

There is no false person under a false name. George doesn't dare to underestimate Hiddink.

Although he didn't underestimate Hiddink, George still looked down on PSV Eindhoven a little. Except for Robben.

Robben is someone George doesn't dare to underestimate. Who is Robben?

Robben is known as the best winger in the Netherlands after Overmars. Some people even say that if Robben is not injured, then Robben is no worse than Ronaldo and Messi. In Robben's peak period, no defender could defend him one-on-one.

Therefore, George attaches the most importance to Robben in Eindhoven.

As long as Robben is defended, who else in Eindhoven can threaten him.

Kezman? It's not that George looks down on him, but he may be invincible in the Netherlands, facing the Premier League team...

Therefore, when George arranged, the focus was on how to defend Robben. As long as Robben is defended, the game will be won. Therefore, George not only asked Hargreaves to take care of Robben, but also asked Sagnol not to kick Robben easily.

After the arrangement, George felt much more relieved.

Even if you are a magical coach, what does it matter? What is a pot without rice? Can the players in your hands compare with me?

George is very relieved, but the game is never what you want.

George only had Robben in his heart, but unfortunately PSV Eindhoven was not Robben's team.

At this time, George overestimated Robben and underestimated other players.

"... Park Ji-sung... He broke through, and Riise was put behind him. Pass the ball... Kezman, shoot!"

"One to zero, PSV Eindhoven leads Blackburn."

"Blackburn was careless. Really too careless. How could Park Ji-sung break through so easily."

Martin Taylor said with regret.

Damn, George also regretted it on the sidelines. Things in the previous life have always affected George now. Although George has been a coach since 1990 and a head coach in 1995, he has been working in the football world for more than ten years.

But some things in the previous life are deeply rooted in George's mind. These things are certainly very beneficial to George, but there are also many bad things. Some things are other people's prejudices, but George remembers them firmly.

In fact, George should have screened these memories, but George stubbornly believed in his own memories.

Just like Ribery, George just knew that he would be very good in the future. So he bought him, but unfortunately Ribery didn't have those training. His strength has never reached the level of the first team, and he can't be used until now.

As for Robben, George is very afraid.

Because Robben was one of the best wingers in the world football before George came to this world. Therefore, in this game, most of George's defensive power was placed on Robben.

As for Park Ji-sung on the other wing, George didn't take it to heart at all. Most of Park Ji-sung's best achievements were obtained in Manchester United. Therefore, George's impression of Park Ji-sung was also in Manchester United games.

At that time, Park Ji-sung gave George the impression that he was physically strong and could run. Being able to run is the biggest impression of him, except that Park Ji-sung's off-ball running is also excellent. There is no other impression. But I found out in this game.

Damn. Park Ji-sung, the explosive power on the spot is not bad at all. And although the technique can't be said to be very good, it is not bad at all.

Moreover, in the PSV Eindhoven team, the team relies on Park Ji-sung no less than Robben.

Just now, facing Riise, he suddenly cut in. Can you think he can only run? Which bastard said that Park Ji-sung can only run. If someone said this in front of George now, George would definitely kick him several times.

Damn, this game only focused on Robben and ignored Park Ji-sung on the other side.

Mistakes, mistakes. How could I make such a mistake? It shouldn't be.

At this time, George remembered. There are too many players with good skills in Manchester United, and Ferguson focuses on Park Ji-sung's ability to run. But it doesn't mean that Park Ji-sung can't attack, control the ball, dribble, and pass.

And that Kezman.

This is the striker George despises the most. He is a waste when he comes to Chelsea. Unexpectedly, when he just received the pass from Park Ji-sung, Kezman's sense of smell is absolutely world-class. He actually found the passing point between Lucio and Campbell.

Just relying on this sense of smell, Kezman deserves to be a good striker.

Such a small mistake actually let PSV score a goal.

George stamped his feet. We really shouldn't underestimate anyone. He only valued Robben and ignored Park Ji-sung and Kezman. He forgot that Hiddink is not the kind of coach who puts all his eggs in one basket.

Hiddink is a head coach who emphasizes the team.

Mistakes, mistakes.

We really shouldn't underestimate anyone.

I went out for a drink today, so the second update is a little late. I'm very sorry.
