Coaching legend

Two days after Christmas, the Second Division League reignited the flames of war. Perhaps because of the excessive Christmas carnival, many players were exhausted. In the 25th round, Burnley tied Peterborough United 0-0 away.

Swindon, ranked second in the Second Division League, performed well and swept Chesterfield, one of its promotion opponents, 4-0. It narrowed the gap with Burnley.

However, in the 26th round, Burnley was in great form and easily defeated Chesterfield 5-1 at home. Chesterfield, which was ranked fourth before Christmas, fell five places to ninth after two consecutive defeats. In this game, Bobowski completed a hat trick again. This is Bobowski's second hat trick in the Second Division League.

In the 27th round, they defeated Stockport 2-0 away. In the 28th round, they swept Hull City 8-0 away, and Bobowski and Huckby both completed hat tricks. It was also the game with the most goals for Burnley this season. Bobowski completed a feat in this game, scoring and assisting hat tricks. Now, Bobowski is getting more and more used to the English League B, and his cooperation with the Burnley team is getting more and more tacit.

With the hat trick in this game, Bobowski has already scored 19 goals and 20 assists in the league. He ranks first in both the goal list and the assist list.

…………

The outstanding performance during this period has made the whole city of Burnley immersed in joy. Now the average attendance of Burnley's home games has exceeded more than 15,000 people. Especially in the recent games, there will be at least 18,000 fans in each game. Such a number is child's play in the eyes of giants such as Manchester United, Liverpool, and Arsenal. They even have an insignificant League Cup attendance of 20,000 to 30,000.

But if it is placed in Burnley, a city with a population of only 80,000, you can know how terrifying this attendance is.

"Hello, hello. I'm George." George was considering a summer transfer that day, and a call came to George's mobile phone. At this time, mobile phones were obviously not as advanced as those in the 21st century, but they were more convenient than landlines. Especially for coaches like George, they need to wear one.

"Hello, Coach Levy. I'm Ferguson." A voice with a very strong Scottish accent came into George's ears.

George was stunned, Ferguson? As long as you are in the field of football, you may not know who the Secretary-General of the United Nations is, but you must know who Ferguson is? Not to mention George, who comes from the future. Ferguson's achievements are a legend in the future.

George almost blurted out "Sir Ferguson". But thinking that Ferguson won the title of knight by winning the treble, he immediately changed his words. "Hello, Coach Ferguson. It's an honor to receive your call."

"Coach Levy, you should be able to think of it. I'm for Bobowski." Ferguson laughed a few times on the phone, and then spoke with a strong Scottish accent. Fortunately, it was some simple conversations, otherwise it might not be understood for a while.

"Poborsky? I don't understand what you mean. The winter transfer will end in two days. Manchester United doesn't want to sign Poborsky at this time, right?" The transfer period of the Premier League is about to end. Why did Manchester United take action now?

"Yes, I want to sign him in the winter. But we can rent him to you for half a season and take him back next year." Ferguson actually discovered Poborsky after watching Burnley's game in January. In particular, Poborsky had two hat tricks in January, which made Ferguson very tempted.

"I wonder how much transfer fee Manchester United can offer?" George was very angry, because Ferguson didn't take Burnley seriously at all.

"One million pounds." Ferguson said very generously. Of course, this is what Ferguson thought. For a player in the English League B, it is an outrageous price to be able to offer one million pounds.

But when George heard this number, he wanted to go to Manchester and kick Ferguson on the other end of the phone to death. In another six months, after the European Cup, Poborsky's value will exceed three million pounds. You're only offering one million now, and you're acting like you're very generous.

"I'm sorry, Coach Ferguson. I don't want Burnley's good situation to be affected by the player transfer issue." George declined Ferguson, but didn't say anything final. "We can talk about this issue at the end of the season. Since you called me personally, I can guarantee that I will consider Manchester United first under the same conditions at the end of the season."

George knew that it would be difficult for him to keep Boborsky at the end of the season. After the European Cup, Boborsky would become the object of competition among European giants, and Boborsky would not be able to stay in a second-tier league in England.

Ferguson on the other end of the phone laughed. "George, you are waiting for the European Cup, hoping that Boborsky will perform well in the European Cup and be sold for a good price." Ferguson is indeed an old fox, and he guessed George's thoughts at once.

"Yes, I am optimistic about the prospects of the Czech Republic in the European Cup." George did not hide his thoughts.

"Okay, George, then we have a verbal agreement."

After hanging up the phone, Ferguson smiled and said to Brian behind him: "This young man is interesting."

And George on the other side of the phone felt powerless. Facing a big crocodile like Ferguson, Burnley had no power to resist.

…………

George didn't have much time to think about Ferguson. When he introduced Boborski, George had the idea of ​​making a small profit from the European Cup. He could use him for one year and sell him at a high price after one year. Therefore, George was mentally prepared for Boborski's departure.

Burnley continued to fight in the English League Two. In the 29th round, they returned to their home court and beat Notts County 1-0. In the 30th round, they beat Walshall 2-0 away.

In the 31st round, Burnley was tied 1-1 by Swansea at home. The five-game winning streak in the league was stopped, but George was very happy. Because of this game, George let most of the main players rest, because the previous games made many main players feel very tired.

However, with the rapid progress during this period, Burnley scored 75 points in the 31st round and topped the list. The gap between Swindon and Burnley has widened to 11 points.

After Christmas, Burnley has been unstoppable in the League Two. Everyone knows that no one can stop Burnley from upgrading this year.
