Chapter 252 The Devil (Part 2)

"Andy, it seems you are right. Although it is not blatant, George does mean to let Burnley go. With Blackburn's strength, if they really want to exert their strength, then the ball possession rate will never be what it is now. , the two teams were evenly matched." Hearing the whistle at the end of the first half, Martin Taylor and Andy Gray next to him laughed and talked.

Andy Gray also nodded.

"The tougher George talks, the softer his heart becomes."

"When did you know George so well?"

"This is what I analyzed. George seems to be aggressive, but in my opinion, it is actually hiding the weakness in his heart." Andy Gray replied proudly.

George, this young man has caused headaches for many coaches and reporters. On the contrary, Andy Gray felt that George could see through it easily. It's just that many coaches and reporters are mired in it and fail to discover it.

"The current situation is somewhat favorable to Burnley. Bradford are currently two goals behind Liverpool. It is estimated that Liverpool will not give Bradford a chance. If Burnley can defeat Blackburn in this game, then The gap between them is only two points. Burnley will face Bradford at home in the final game, and it is unclear who will win.”

Martin Taylor took off the little microphone on his head. Leaving the live broadcast room with Andy Gray. In the middle, he smiled and said to Andy Gray: "Maybe after the game Bradford will sue George and say that he deliberately let the situation slip."

"There is no use in suing. Everyone knows this kind of thing, but where is the evidence? As long as George insists that he made certain rotations for the UEFA Cup final. Who can say anything?"

The two of them talked and laughed as they went to the nearby coffee shop.

Blackburn was trailing Burnley 0-1 in the first half. George was quite satisfied with this result. Therefore, George did not make any adjustments during the halftime break. Just a simple encouragement to everyone.

Evan watched with cold eyes, already understanding George's little calculation.

George obviously doesn't want to use his own hands to send Burnley to the League One. So George didn't really pay attention to this game at all. After playing in the UEFA Cup semi-finals, the current schedule is actually not very intensive anymore.

At this time, it is very easy to win Burnley with players in excellent form such as Klose, Pires and Miku. At least that's how it seemed to Evan.

Although Burnley is currently in a life-and-death battle, morale is high. But the gap in strength cannot be made up by morale alone. But George used specious excuses to put all those offensive players in excellent condition on the bench.

Evan, who knew George's character, already understood what George was thinking.

Therefore, Evan did not advise George or express his opinions like before. Instead, he stood silently behind George like a dull gourd.

The second half of the game began.

The game was a bit mediocre. Although George didn't say it explicitly, players are easily influenced by the head coach. George no longer had the lofty ambitions of the past, as if he hadn't woken up from sleep. Although they don't understand what George is thinking, George is listless, and these players are also listless.

On the other hand, Burnley's side became more and more fierce as they played.

Fourteen minutes into the second half, Turf Moor once again erupted into huge cheers. Because Liverpool scored another goal, Bradford was already trailing 3-0. In this way, Bradford will definitely lose the game.

Turf Moor is a sea of ​​red. They are always on tenterhooks, afraid of being relegated. But looking at it now, the situation is not the worst.

George watched the game and did not make any substitutions. There is no idea of ​​​​reversing the decline.

The game reached the eighty-sixth minute in this unhurried manner.

Burnley is not attacking blindly now, but is holding on to the score. One to zero is enough for Burnley now and there is no need to take risks.

After Henning Berg got the ball in the backcourt, he passed a long pass to the front.

"...Drogba, great turn!"

It turned out that Upson, who had been staring at Drogba, was only looking at Drogba and not the ball. Drogba did not take the ball, but turned around from Upson. It turns out that the ball was passed a little too wide and fell behind Drogba and Upson.

Upson only looked at Drogba. When Drogba turned around, he immediately lost his position. Coupled with Upson's slow turning speed, Drogba got rid of Upson in one go.

"Upson, he completely lost Drogba's control. Drogba, it's a one-man attack!"

"Upson made a very serious mistake. What would Drogba choose?"

After Drogba got rid of Upson, he only took two steps and shot a powerful shot.

"Jaasklainen, he saved it. He saved the ball! But..."

Drogba's first shot was saved by Jaaskelainen. But Drogba reacted quickly and took a follow-up shot. At this time, Jaaskelainen was already throwing himself on the ground, watching helplessly as Drogba scored.

"Drogba! This goal is really..." The moment Drogba scored, even Martin Taylor was surprised. "Burnley, they have been leading 1 to 0. Unfortunately, the last chance turned out to be a big mistake. 1 to 1, if this score continues, Burnley will definitely be relegated."

Everyone was shocked and they all stayed there.

Turf Moor was silent at that moment, with only the celebration of Blackburn players. They didn't know what George was thinking, they only knew that Burnley was Blackburn's mortal enemy.

George also opened his eyes wide when Drogba scored. George didn't want this, George really didn't want this.

George really didn't want Burnley to be relegated, but that didn't mean George couldn't accept Burnley's relegation. What George couldn't accept was that Burnley was defeated and relegated by his own team. Even if Burnley won this game, Burnley might not win the next game against Bradford.

But now Burnley is going to be relegated. It's going to be relegated by himself.

George cursed the schedule, why did he have to bear these things.

Looking at the excited Drogba, George couldn't blame him. Suddenly George regretted that he shouldn't have let Drogba play. If Klose was allowed to play, with his relationship with Klose, Klose would definitely understand if he was slightly touched.

Now he has personally pushed Burnley to the English League One.

What will be his position in the history of Burnley! Meritorious coach? Traitor? Judas?

Burnley, who had been scored a goal, attacked Blackburn frantically, but unfortunately they failed to achieve their goal. When the referee's whistle sounded, all the Burnley players sat down dejectedly. The entire Turf Moor Stadium was silent.

Daniel lay on the court helplessly.

He could no longer control his tears. He didn't know who he should blame?

George, the mentor who gave him the opportunity and glory? Or should he blame Kilby who drove George away?

Daniel didn't know.

Daniel only knew that his beloved Burnley was going back to the English League One. He knew that his two-year Premier League career was about to end. When he was promoted to the Premier League, Daniel still remembered George's bold words "Conquer the Premier League!" and "Conquer Europe".

Daniel was full of blood when he heard George's bold words.

The funny thing is that Burnley will return to the English League One in just two years.

Daniel wanted to cry, but he couldn't. None of the players on the field now have as deep feelings for Burnley as Daniel.

Daniel knows that once Burnley is relegated, most of the players on the field will leave the club. Daniel will not blame them because it is their choice. But what should he do?

He is a Burnley native, grew up in Burnley, and became a professional player in Burnley. Burnley is his home!

The director's camera also aimed at many Burnley fans, some of whom had already started crying. A child even squatted and wiped his tears. They couldn't believe that Burnley, which won the League Cup and FA Cup two years ago, would be relegated.

They didn't want to believe it, and many fans covered their faces. They all hoped that this was just a dream, not real.

Suddenly, someone shouted "Judas!". All of a sudden, all the Burnley fans in the stadium seemed to have found a target for venting, and they all directly targeted George. The voices of "Judas" came one after another.

Even in the backstage where George was sitting, many fans began to abuse and attack George, and finally threw something.

"Dangdangdang..." Various sounds rang out. George knew that these fans had thrown out everything.

George didn't want to stay here any longer. The atmosphere at Turf Moor was too depressing. Depressing, really depressing. George didn't want to stay at Turf Moor any longer, so he was ready to leave immediately after the game.

When George reached the player's tunnel, something suddenly hit George's head.

George looked at the thing on the ground and found that it was a beautiful mobile phone. George ignored it and walked in directly. George knew that after the game, the fans who hit George would most likely be banned from entering the stadium.

But at this time, George was no longer in the mood to care about those things.

"Twenty-four years ago, Burnley fell into a low-level league. George led Burnley to great results within three years and was a truly meritorious coach for Burnley. It was George who saved Burnley from the quagmire at the time. But two years later, it was George who pushed Burnley into the English League One."

"What would Burnley fans say about George?"

"God? Devil?"

Looking at George who was hit by a fan's mobile phone, Martin Taylor gently expressed his opinion.

God? Devil?

George believes that more fans will say that George is a devil. George will be inseparable from the title of Judas and traitor in the history of Burnley.
