Coaching legend

"George, you really decided not to renew your contract." Kilby was in his office, and he had completely lost his former demeanor. He stared at George closely, and his tone was much colder.

This is the fifth day after the FA Cup final. In the past few days, both the media and the fans have been trying to find the parties involved. But the three main parties, including George, Kilby, and Keller Varga, either turned off their phones or did not appear in the club at all.

The busiest people in the past few days are the club reception staff, who receive batches of reporters and fans. George, who has not been seen for a long time, finally came to the club today, and Kilby was waiting for him in his office.

"Mr. Kilby, first of all, I apologize to you for what happened that day. I was too impulsive at the time." George knew that although he was angry that day, he was still a little too much. After all, even if there was something, you can quarrel behind closed doors. But at that time, they quarreled at Wembley Stadium, and there were so many reporters behind them.

Although George did not regret scolding Kilby and Keller, he thought back that he handled the matter a little hastily.

"George, there's no need to talk about what happened that day." Kilby shook his hand. In fact, Kilby was already quite angry in his heart. George almost said that Kilby and Keller were two idiots and pigs. And if there weren't so many people, Kilby even felt that George would raise his fist.

This is the first time that Kilby has been insulted in such an occasion since he was a child. This insult made Kilby remember it firmly in his heart.

"Mr. Kilby, I have decided. After I pack my things, I will leave the club." George has decided to leave Burnley even if he is reluctant. It was cool to curse at people at that time, but George knew that Kilby and Keller Varga would definitely hold a grudge.

Now even if George wants to stay, he can't. And George is unwilling to continue working with Kilby. This is a chairman who has no lofty ambitions at all. He has only a little vision, a typical idea of ​​a country rich man. Without a little ambition, such a person cannot lead Burnley to glory.

"But before I leave, I would like to thank Mr. Kilby for appointing me as the head coach of Burnley. I also thank you for your support over the past three years." No matter what the reason was for Kilby to appoint George as the head coach of Burnley, George was very grateful for this. George was also very grateful for the transfer fee of more than one million pounds given to George in the first year.

Kilby knew that George was going to say goodbye to him, and his face was always bad.

"Finally, Mr. Kilby. The club has sold Ballack, and I hope you don't sell other players. Otherwise, it will be difficult to stay in the league next year. And don't just sell people, but also buy a better midfielder. Matthew Holland and Neil Lennon have no problem being a defensive midfielder, but they are not strong enough to be the core of the midfield." George knew that if he left, the team he built would definitely be dismembered by Kilby. But George really didn't want Burnley to return to the First Division again after one year in the Premier League.

"Staying in the Premier League can bring more economic benefits to the club."

This was George's last advice to Kilby. Although he left, George's feelings for Burnley were not so easy to give up after all. So George didn't want Kilby to mess up Burnley, the team he had worked so hard to perfect, in a short time.

After that, the two of them had nothing to say, and both of them were in the same position now. George finally nodded and left Kilby's office.

Just after leaving Kilby's office, he saw Keller Varga, who was in a hurry, outside. George didn't have any good feelings for this lackey. So he didn't say hello at all and just bypassed him.

"George..." Instead, Keller Varga called George, with a half-smile on his face. "George, don't think that you are arrogant just because you have achieved a little success. Don't forget that you are just a coach after all."

George snorted and looked gloomy. "Mr. Varga, I have never been arrogant. It's you who are content with a small fortune, and this is how it will be in this life." With a sneer, George left the club's office building.

George strolled in Turf Moor Stadium. Although the stadium is small, this is where George started. George had many firsts and many good memories at Turf Moor Stadium.

But George is about to leave Burnley and Turf Moor. When he returns to Turf Moor, he will be Burnley's opponent. I don't know whether he will be greeted with applause or booing.

Walking and walking, George came to Burnley's youth training base. Although the first team has been disbanded. But it will take some time for the youth team to be disbanded. George looked at the young players who were training hard there and remembered when he was the director of the youth team.

"George, you are here." Wilkinson also heard the rumors about George, but his attitude remained the same.

George nodded, did not speak, but sat next to Wilkinson. Then watching the youth team's game, there were no players who made people shine. But in terms of overall quality, it is much higher than when George was in the Burnley youth team.

If it were three years ago, there would be several players in the Burnley youth team who could be directly pulled to the first team as substitutes.

George looked at their training with emotion and found that all the young players were training hard, only one black boy was standing by the court watching them train.

"Wilkinson, what's going on with that? You let the kid stand in the penalty area." George asked Wilkinson with a smile.

Wilkinson looked at George in confusion, then followed George's line of sight and saw the young player standing by the court, and then shook his head. "That's not a player from our youth team, he came here for a trial."

"He was on trial, why did he get rejected for not performing well?" There are many such players, although Burnley is small. But because of the good results in recent years, and the first team is full of young players. So many young players come here for trial.

Wilkinson shook his head. "The strength is definitely this." Wilkinson gave a thumbs up.

"Well, how come..." Wilkinson is not as capable as Carl Part. But as a youth team coach for 30 years, he still has a good eye for people. And he has coached Daniel before, and Yongberg also played under him for two months. Since Wilkinson said that this young player is quite capable, then his ability should not be too bad.

"This little guy is quite arrogant. He wants a weekly salary of 110 pounds for a small apprenticeship contract." Wilkinson sighed. "I think he is quite capable, so I reported it to my superiors. Kilby scolded him harshly on the phone."

Even George laughed. This kid is really arrogant. Not to mention Burnley, even in the Premier League, unless he is a genius, there is no apprenticeship contract of 110 pounds. 110 pounds is the salary contract of some first-team players in the English League Two.

This kind of contract cannot be signed casually, because it will make other young players also want high wages.

No one in the Burnley first team has a weekly salary of more than 1,000 pounds so far.

"The kid is really too arrogant. But is he really capable, or..." If he is a talented player, let alone 110 pounds, even 200 pounds should be kept.

Wilkinson paused, turned his head and looked at the black boy again.

"George, it's hard for me to say. But this kid has very good physical conditions. He has speed, body and explosive power. It can be said that he has all the conditions for success. And his skills are not bad either."

"What position does he play?" George suddenly became interested in this black boy.

"Right back. He is fierce in defense and agile in movement. He is a good defender. But you also know that the club will not agree to pay a defender 110 pounds." If it were in the past, George would be in charge of this kind of thing.

But now George has resigned, so Keller is in charge. He will not break the company's salary system for a young player.

"Right back?" George nodded. It's good to be a right back, but after listening to Wilkinson, George thinks that such a player is better as a defensive midfielder. Speed, explosive power, body, good defense, and agility are all the qualities of a defensive midfielder. As long as he knows how to choose a position, he can train a defensive midfielder.

The current teams don't realize that by the 21st century, good defensive midfielders will be rare species.

"You sit down first, I'll go over and take a look." George wanted to chat with the black boy, although he didn't know which African country the black boy was from. But George didn't worry about the language problem, because the official language of most African countries is either English or French. These two languages ​​are not a problem for George.

The black boy also noticed George coming, so he looked up at George.

He came to Burnley for a trial, so of course he knew George. So he was very surprised.

Unfortunately, the black boy didn't know that when George saw him, he was more surprised than him.
