Coaching legend

Chapter 17 The persistence of marginalized people

For more than a month, George has been very proud. In his first coaching career, he won six consecutive victories. He became the most watched team in the second division, and George became the star coach of the second division. It is already a legend to become a head coach at the age of 27, and now he has achieved such good results and has become the focus of the media.

In particular, before the draw for the second round of the League Cup, George shouted to the Blackburn media who interviewed him: "Come on, I want to fight with the Premier League champion."

George's words had a great response in Blackburn. Many Blackburn fans are also praying that Blackburn can draw Burnley and teach this ignorant young coach a lesson. He became arrogant after achieving a little success in the second division.

Compared with the current Blackburn, Burnley is not in his eyes at all. But George really wants to fight with Blackburn. Since George started working in Burnley, he understands how much the people of Burnley want to defeat Blackburn. Unfortunately, since steel tycoon Walker entered Blackburn, the fate of the two teams has been completely different.

Blackburn was doing very well. In the 91-92 season, under the leadership of Dalglish, Blackburn was promoted from the Second Division to the First Division, and became one of the founding members of the Premier League. In the following years, they spent a lot of money and became a strong team in the Premier League. Last season, they became the Premier League champions. But in the same period, Burnley could only spend most of its time in the Second Division. Such different opportunities made Burnley fans hold back their anger.

However, it was not as people wished, and the second round of the League Cup draw was over. Burnley was not very lucky, but not very unfortunate. They met the League One team Watford. Watford's performance this season was very bad. In the first few rounds of the League One games, they almost lost in a row. Now they are still hovering in the relegation zone in the League One, and it is not very bad to meet such a team.

George still feels lucky to meet a team like Watford. Watford now has no energy to manage the League Cup.

"George, why are you here? Isn't it a day off today?" When George arrived at the training base, an old man came out to help George open the door.

George shrugged and said, "Hello, Uncle Green." George spoke to the old man in a very kind tone. If there is anyone who has worked at Burnley for the longest time, it must be the old man in front of him. This is the man who has been guarding the gate for Burnley for more than 30 years, named Mason Green. In English clubs, such people are very important because they are all members of the club.

"I'm bored at home, so I'll go to the club for a walk." George nodded and walked in. Breathing the air of Turf Moor Stadium, George closed his eyes and felt the excitement of commanding the team.

But it didn't take long for George to feel it, and he was stunned. Because George found that it was not only himself who came to the stadium today, but also two other people. One was George's favorite Daniel Morrison, and the other was Miroslav Klose.

George knew Daniel Morrison very well. Since the youth team, Daniel has worked very hard. This season, Daniel was regarded as a main player by George. Daniel was the main player in the first six games. However, Daniel has always been quite regular in the game, with no outstanding performance and no other mistakes. With Neil Lennon and Danny Murphy protecting him, Daniel has hardly been put to any great test.

And more importantly, George has always asked Daniel to do his defensive work first. Daniel is still young, and even if he is talented, his lack of experience is an objective fact. Therefore, George wants Daniel to accumulate experience step by step.

On the other side, Klose was introduced by George from Germany. But in the six games so far, Klose has never played. Because now Klose is almost useless except for headers and speed. Richard Brodie is much more mature than Klose in headers, Darren Hackby is much more flexible than Klose in speed, and David McCook is much more experienced than Klose in experience.

Therefore, Klose has not even been on the substitute list for almost two weeks since the start of the game. George has been so proud these days that he even forgot about Klose, who he introduced himself. Klose would be in the first team during training, and would participate in the reserve team or youth team during the game. And it was always Carl Part who was in charge. Now, seeing Klose and Daniel practicing, George suddenly felt ashamed of Klose.

So George did not speak, but sat in the stands and observed the two. It turned out that the two were just playing a simple game, with Klose as the attacker and Daniel as the defender. But judging from the results, Klose was often the loser. Klose's skills were rough now, and his speed was not as fast as Daniel. So there were few times when he could break through, but Klose was very careful to repeat the failures again and again.

After about twenty minutes, Klose began to practice shooting. Not only Klose, but even Daniel was practicing shooting. But the two had different methods. Klose put a tire at close range to practice his shooting. And Daniel was practicing powerful long shots at a distance of thirty meters.

Looking at their serious attitude, George couldn't help but take out the notebook he usually used to record things. He wrote down the current training situation of Klose and Daniel, and then walked down. He was very happy in his heart. Daniel was enthusiastic. Now Klose didn't even speak English very well, but Daniel and Klose could get along so well, which would definitely make it easier for Klose to adapt here.

"Daniel, Miro." George called the two people who were sweating profusely and waved them to come over. Compared with those talented players, George prefers simple players like Klose. "Daniel, Miro, why don't you rest."

"Boss." The two came to George and greeted George. "Boss, isn't it resting today? Why are you here too?" Daniel wiped his sweat and talked to George very naturally.

"I don't have anything to do, I came to see. I just saw you two." George said. "Why don't you rest?"

Hearing George ask them, Klose hesitated. "Boss, the two of us..."

"Why do you think I want to scold you?" George knew what Klose was thinking when he saw his expression. "Miro, remember what I told you at the beginning. You are not a talented player like Pele or Maradona, so if you want to achieve good results, you have to work harder than others."

George patted Klose's shoulder and said with a smile: "Miro, but don't do extra training blindly in the future. Even training should be formalized, do you understand what I mean? Don't worry, I will let Carl specify the best and most scientific training methods for you."

"Daniel, why are you not very happy to see me? What are you doing looking around?" George teased Daniel, who seemed to be very anxious.

Daniel, who was already taller than George, had a heroic face. Although he was not as handsome as Beckham, he was angular and looked like a handsome boy. Hearing George's words, Daniel showed a charming smile. "Boss, I'm hungry. Please treat us to a good meal."

"It's noon now, it's time to eat." George shook his head, and he really had nothing to say to his proud disciple. "Come on, I'll treat you today. You've worked hard today, let's have a meal together."

…………

"Miro, are you not happy with me for not being able to play these days?" George thinks highly of Klose, because Klose's hard work and low-key personality are George's favorite characteristics.

Klose was eating, and when he heard George's words, he shook his head. "Boss, when I played business games before, I thought I was pretty good. But after I got to the club, I found that there were many people who were better than me. Especially Carel, it was the first time I trained with such an outstanding player. I think no matter how hard I try, I can't reach the ability of Carel."

Seeing Klose who was a little depressed, George was surprised. This should not be what Klose should think, Klose should have firm confidence. When Klose spoke, it was obvious that he was in a very low mood. This was not what George wanted. "Miro, I won't just bring in a player. I brought you in because you have enough training value. As long as you work hard, you can become a world-class striker. Miro, do you believe me?"

"I..." Klose didn't expect George to say that. Even Daniel, who had been indifferent, looked up at George.

"Miro, I never talk big. Especially for my players, are you willing to believe me and listen to me?" George blinked affirmatively.

Klose suddenly raised his head and nodded firmly. "Boss, I believe you." His eyes regained confidence.
