Coaching legend

When George said that Burnley had already booked a promotion spot before the start of the season, many media thought George was too arrogant.

Although from the performance of last season, Burnley does have the strength to be promoted. But the most inexplicable thing in the world is football. There is a saying that football is round. It is because of the many unpredictable things in football games that football has more charm.

And speaking of it, every time the popular team for promotion in the First Division should be the team relegated from the Premier League. Now even they dare not say that their goal this season is to be promoted. A team that has just been promoted to the First Division for only one year actually shouted it out first.

Many coaches in the English First Division have expressed their opinions, thinking that George, a young coach, underestimates the professional league. He thinks that he has achieved a little bit of results, and he starts to look down on others.

Many media are also adding fuel to the fire. In fact, it is not just China that has a gun to shoot the bird that sticks out. This kind of thing is applicable even if it is placed in any country in the world. George is only 29 years old now, and his results are so good. Of course, many people can't stand George.

Mark Lawrenson, who just joined the BBC and became a football commentator, criticized George's bold words in his column.

"Young coach Levy may not have much experience, so he is so outspoken. I have seen Burnley's main lineup, most of them are young people around 20 years old. The biggest characteristic of young people is instability, and another point is that they have poor pressure resistance. It is easy for Coach Levy to shout goals, but he doesn't think about whether his players will be under pressure. It is good for young people to be humble."

Mark Lawrenson did not give George, his fellow countryman, any face at all. Mark Lawrenson and Alan Hansen, who has been working in the BBC for some time, were once the "iron defenders" of Liverpool team who were well-known in the UK.

In their heyday, they were the main defenders of Liverpool and the Irish national team, and they were very famous. However, Mark Lawrenson was born in Preston, Lancashire, northern England in 1957, and is a real fellow countryman of George. Unfortunately, he severely criticized George for being ambitious in his column.

George said nothing before the first game. After winning the first game cleanly, George satirized these people in the Burnley Post.

"Some teams have no ambitions and cannot stand other teams having ambitions. Such teams can only be in the lower leagues forever and cannot develop. For their words, we in Burnley just treat them as flies buzzing."

"And there seems to be someone who said that young people can't stand the pressure. I think it should be because he was young and fragile, so he thought that young players all over the world are the same? I remember that the partner who played with this person once said that children can't win the championship, but now it has become a joke."

When George satirized Mark Lawrenson this time, he also included his partner Alan Hansen at that time. But George didn't care. With the Frenchman Wenger taking over Arsenal, the Premier League will enter an era of competition between Manchester United and Arsenal.

However, Liverpool, the first giant in England, has declined. Until the Spaniard Benitez took over Liverpool, Liverpool's domestic competitiveness could not be compared with Manchester United and Arsenal. Moreover, in George's future plan for Burnley, there is no need to rely on Liverpool.

George has no psychological burden to satirize the retired Liverpool star.

…………

George satirized many clubs last time. This time, he was even more straightforward. He first satirized those English League One clubs, and then even football stars such as Mark Lawrenson and Alan Hansen were not spared.

At the beginning, everyone was stunned by this young coach from the English League One. After reacting, another round of condemnation of George began.

Not only the local media of the English League One clubs, but also the newspapers from Liverpool fiercely criticized George. After all, Mark Lawrenson and Alan Hansen were both meritorious players of Liverpool in the 1980s, and they had a great influence among the Liverpool media and fans. They do not allow anyone to criticize their stars.

Once the Liverpool media moves, the influence will be great. Although Liverpool's performance has declined a lot in recent years due to the influence of the Heysel and Hillsborough disasters. But no matter what, Liverpool is the undisputed first giant in England. Once their media moves, the momentum is very impressive.

Young George Levy is famous, very popular. But it is not praise, but countless criticisms.

What they say most is that George lacks self-cultivation and does not know how to respect his predecessors.

Such a statement made George sneer, damn it. I used to think that only China had a serious phenomenon of seniority, and England was even worse.

George was not affected by the verbal battle with these media, and rotated most of the players in the first round of the League Cup. But relying on Kevin Phillips' two goals, they defeated the team from the English League 3 2-0.

This year's Burnley League arrangement is very problematic. The first three rounds of the league were all away games. In addition to the first round of the League Cup, none of Burnley's first four games were at home. The second round of the English League One is Burnley away to Oxford United.

Speaking of which, Burnley and Oxford United have a lot of fate. This is the third year that Burnley has faced Oxford United. In George's first season as coach, Burnley and Oxford United were both teams in the English League Two. After the season ended, Burnley and Oxford United were promoted at the same time. Last year, neither team was able to be promoted to the Premier League.

Oxford United is poorer than Burnley and has no desire. After entering the First Division in the past two years, there are not many additions. Compared with Burnley's current prosperity, Oxford United is really half dead.

Burnley defeated Oxford United 2-0 away from home with goals from Robbie Keane and Gary Breen. It was very easy, and Oxford United did not resist much. After a little resistance, they gave up the game.

Compared with mocking Birmingham, they still gave face to this little brother who came to the First Division together. At the press conference, he said that Oxford United performed very well.

In the third round of the game, Burnley went to Manchester to face Manchester City. Manchester City is the most disappointing team in the League One in the past two seasons. It was one of the favorites to be promoted last season, but now it has become a weak team that everyone bullies in the League One.

Burnley was even more unceremonious, winning 3-0 away against Manchester City.

After the first three rounds of the League One, Burnley, as George said at the beginning of the season, ranked first in the League One with a record of three wins and nine points.

Burnley's outstanding performance made all the media speechless. After all, football is a competitive sport, and results are the first priority.

(Finally, I wish everyone a happy new year again! ...
