Coaching legend

"I am very happy to sign a work contract with Blackburn, and I also thank Mr. Walker for his trust in me. I will definitely lead Blackburn to become the best club in Lancashire and win honor for all Lancashire fans."

George said this without any purpose, but deliberately confused Blackburn with Lancashire. Blackburn is not much bigger than Burnley, with a population of only 140,000. It is the city with the smallest number of Premier League teams in the Premier League.

Although Blackburn is not as poor as Burnley, it is still a poor place compared to cities such as London and Manchester.

But Lancashire is not poor. Lancashire is not small. It is one of the 34 non-metropolitan counties, and actually governs 12 non-metropolitan areas, covering an area of ​​2,903 square kilometers (16th) and a population of 1,165,800 (4th). If it is regarded as one of the 48 honorary counties, it nominally includes two more single-administration areas-Blackpool and Blackburn-Darwen, with an area of ​​3,075 square kilometers (17th) and a population of 1,449,700 (8th).

There are also many football clubs, such as Blackpool, Preston, Morecambe, and Accrington Stanley, which are all Lancashire teams. But when it comes to the most famous club in Lancashire, it must be Blackburn.

If you don't add Burnley, which was promoted to the Premier League this time, there is no top league team in the whole of Lancashire except Blackburn. All other professional teams are either in the English League Two or the English League Three, or in lower-level leagues such as the National League. Not only is this the case now, but none of these clubs will have the possibility of being promoted to the top league in the future.

So when talking to Williams, Williams put forward this statement. Don't limit Blackburn to the city of Blackburn. In Lancashire, Blackburn has only one enemy, Burnley. Even if other teams have a bad relationship with Blackburn, there is not much hatred.

Lancashire fans have not seen their favorite team play in the top league for decades. So Williams wants these fans to support Blackburn. Of course, given the loyalty of English fans, it is impossible to abandon the team they originally supported and become Blackburn fans.

Williams does not have such extravagant hopes. He just wants Blackburn to become a banner of Lancashire. If Blackburn's performance has been good and can achieve good results in Europe, then those Lancashire fans will definitely come to support Blackburn.

So George will confuse the concepts and confuse Lancashire with Blackburn.

"Hey, tell me, why didn't Hoddle take Daniel to the World Cup?"

Although they went to the World Cup, and the World Cup was held in France not far away. But for Burnley fans, they could only stay at home and watch TV. There are not many Burnley fans willing to spend money to go to France and watch the World Cup games on site.

Even if it is an FA Cup final held in London, it is a heavy game for Burnley fans. Not to mention going to France to watch the World Cup games. At this time, it is revealed that English fans are known for their fanaticism. As long as there are conditions, I don't know how many English fans have gone to France across the sea to watch the World Cup.

And Burnley fans are poor, so most of them can only stay at home to watch the game with regret. Now that the World Cup has not started yet, they all gather together to drink and brag.

"Yes, Daniel has performed so well this season. Hoddle is really blind. Why didn't he take a fancy to Daniel."

For Burnley natives and the club's own youth training players, all Burnley fans like them very much.

"Tsk, don't worry. Daniel is only 20 years old, he will definitely go to the next European Cup."

"Yeah, yeah. What do you think, will George go to Liverpool or Newcastle?" As they talked, their topic returned to George. They didn't blame George for leaving Burnley. They thought it was the club's top management who forced George to leave Burnley.

"Newcastle is better, Liverpool will definitely be under a lot of pressure."

"What pressure? George will be afraid of this. I think Liverpool is better, with a bigger stage and stronger strength."

Just as they were discussing where George should go, the news screen that was playing the national team preparing for the World Cup turned to the front of Ewood Park. There was a middle-aged man holding a microphone with his back to Ewood Park.

"Just now, Blackburn Club held a press conference. Mr. Jack Walker, the chairman of Blackburn, announced the head coach of Blackburn for the new season. George Levy, who led Burnley to the Premier League last season and won the League Cup and FA Cup, became the new coach of Blackburn. Blackburn and Coach Levy signed a three-year contract. In the next three years, Coach Levy will become the head coach of Blackburn..."

Burns, who was just talking about whether George would go to Liverpool or Newcastle, stared at the news in a daze. He didn't understand what was said afterwards. He only knew that George and Blackburn had signed a three-year work contract.

Burns opened his mouth wide and didn't come back to his senses for a while. All the Burnley fans who were drinking together were also stunned for a moment.

The TV news camera went to the Blackburn press conference room. Jack Walker, who had not appeared in front of the camera for a long time, announced slowly. "Blackburn and Coach Levy have signed a three-year contract. We believe that Coach Levy will be able to lead Blackburn to glory again. I am very happy that Coach Levy can accept my invitation, and the club will fully support Coach Levy's work in Blackburn."

All the fans who were making a lot of noise just now stopped talking in an instant.

"Bang!" Suddenly, someone smashed the wine glass in his hand. This smash made everyone come back to their senses.

After coming back to their senses, Burnley fans were surrounded by anger. They couldn't figure out why George, who had always been regarded as a hero of Burnley by Burnley fans, turned around and voted for his mortal enemy.

They couldn't figure it out, they couldn't understand it.

Many people here have a good relationship with George, and it should be said that many people have known George for a long time. Many people started to know George when he was still a youth team coach. At that time, they also discussed the future of Burnley together.

After George became the head coach, many people here also drank and chatted with George.

They all knew that George's family was a supporter of Burnley, and George's father had also served in the Burnley club for decades. No matter how you calculate it, George should not go to Blackburn.

There is never love without reason, and there is never hatred without reason. The deeper the love, the deeper the hatred. This sentence is very correct. George has always been a hero of Burnley. This makes Burnley fans unable to accept this fact.

"Traitor! Judas!" This is the only word that Burnley fans can imagine now.

…………

During the same period, Blackburn fans also saw this news.

Their thoughts are more complicated. They are very disappointed with Blackburn's performance in recent years. I hope that another Dalglish can come out to help Blackburn. But this person should not be George Levy.

George has only given Blackburn fans pain in recent years. Not only did he beat Blackburn twice at Ewood Park, but he was also ridiculed by George many times, both openly and secretly. They have a very bad impression of George.

Now George Levy, whom they hate the most, has run to Blackburn. They didn't know how to deal with this sudden news.
