Chapter 66: Rough Playing Style (Please Save)

Turf Moor was packed with people today.

Although it is a small town of 80,000 people, as Burnley's performance has steadily improved, all the old and children in Burnley have come out. Burnley is a small city, and it has its own characteristics. Many people are quite familiar with each other. Some players of the Burnley team have a lot of relatives and friends.

Just like Daniel, since Daniel has established a foothold in Burnley, all the people in Daniel's family have come out. Because in their eyes, Daniel is the hero of their street.

And more importantly, the English League One has already played three rounds. Including a League Cup, Burnley has performed well and won four consecutive victories.

However, Burnley played these four games away, which made Burnley fans not enjoy the joy of victory. Therefore, in the fourth round of the English League One, when facing West Bromwich at home, the enthusiasm of Burnley fans was completely ignited.

Speaking of which, West Brom is also a team with a long history in England and has won the top league championship. However, in England, even in the amateur league, a team has a history of a hundred years, so it is not rare.

West Bromwich Albion's performance declined rapidly after entering the 1990s. It was even relegated to the English League C, but fortunately they rebounded strongly and were promoted to the League A. However, West Bromwich Albion's performance in the League A was average.

George must win this game, after all, it is Burnley's first game at home.

…………

The singing on Turf Moor started before the game started. They were all looking forward to a hearty victory.

But George frowned as soon as the game started. Because the game was completely beyond George's imagination. George originally wanted to use a fast attack to defeat West Bromwich Albion in one fell swoop.

But West Bromwich Albion's ball was so savage that as soon as Burnley's players got the ball, the opponent would rush over ferociously. They used their hands and feet to grab the ball. If they couldn't grab it, they would use their bodies to knock it away, and then kick it hard with their feet and push it with their hands.

And the tackling action was also very big, and several times the soles of the shoes were already shining.

Such actions are a big trouble for players with very good skills and fast speed, such as Ljungberg, Camoranesi, and Robbie Keane. Or it can easily cause injuries to them.

Although George does not advocate brutal fighting, these players in the Burnley team are not afraid of physical confrontation.

Ballack and Neil Lennon are both players with good physical fitness and strong defensive ability. And Mitchell King, who is on the back line, has been in the lower leagues for so many years and his temper is not so good.

What makes Burnley players very angry is that the referee turns a blind eye to all kinds of actions of West Brom players. Whether it is pushing people from behind or dangerous tackles from the front, the referee acquiesces. This makes Burnley players very angry. Burnley players are all young people in their twenties and can't stand the stimulation.

This time, a good game turned into a martial arts game, and the two sides competed to see who has a better body.

The singing at Turf Moor Stadium immediately turned into boos, which was for both West Brom players and the referee of this game, Minik. Speaking of which, Minik is a young referee, only 31 years old this year.

At first, he indulged, but then he couldn't control the game and started to draw cards crazily.

But the anger that was aroused could not be controlled by just drawing cards. The two teams have already started the complete "fighting stage", pushing each other, which has become the norm of the game.

George stood on the court with a sneer on his face. Every time the referee whistled a foul or issued a yellow card, he applauded the referee.

"Coach Levi, please pay attention to your emotions." The fourth referee saw George's sarcastic applause, so he came to warn George.

George spread his hands and curled his lips helplessly. "Look, is this a football game? I want to watch a boxing match, do I need to come to the stadium? I really don't understand, can't we find a good referee? Such a referee should go and learn first."

"Coach Levi, please be careful with your words. I will record all your words in the report." The fourth referee still spoke to George very seriously.

"Whatever!" George was very casual, because George was very angry now.

A good game, now it's like this. And what made George even more angry was that these Burnley players had completely lost their minds. All the energy was spent on the fight, not on playing football.

"Damn, rubbish referee. Damn, this is the moral character of English referees." George muttered in a low voice, and the fourth referee who had not walked far turned around and looked at George in confusion.

The fourth referee was completely sure that what George said just now was definitely not good. It was a pity that he didn't speak English and didn't understand. George spoke Chinese, which he was very familiar with.

Now Burnley and even Ljungberg and Camoranesi participated in this melee, which made George shake his head frequently when standing on the sidelines.

In the 34th minute of the first half, Ballack stole the ball and passed it back to Mitchell. At this time, West Bromwich No. 9 Barnett, who was cruising in the front court of Burnley, inserted at high speed, trying to steal the ball.

However, Ballack's pass was very accurate in both strength and direction, and Mitchell stopped the ball very easily. Many people know that if Burnley passes the ball back in the backcourt, West Bromwich Albion will not be able to grab it. Therefore, whether it is the audience at the scene or the audience in front of the TV, or even the players in the backcourt of Burnley, they all think so.

But West Bromwich Albion's No. 9 player Barnett did not give up, and fell to the ground three meters away from Mitchell to grab the ball.

No one expected Barnett's action, and even Mitchell was stunned. In the situation where he could not grab the ball at all, Barnett used a very dangerous tackling action. He was not going for the ball at all, because his feet left the ground and kicked directly at Mitchell.

Mitchell was shoveled and flew up, and everyone was stunned at that moment. Seeing Mitchell holding his legs in pain, George ran into the court in an instant.

"What's the matter?" George asked the team doctor anxiously. Although Mitchell is old, he is still the best player in Burnley's back line. Especially now that Burnley is full of young players, George needs Mitchell to stay in the back.

The team doctor shook his head and frowned, "George, the situation is not very good. Further examination is needed, but this game is definitely not played."

George just raised his head and found that the referee was giving Barnett a yellow card. This yellow card deeply hurt George, and George lost control of himself for a moment.

"Is there something wrong with your eyes? You only gave a yellow card for such an action. How can you be a referee? Are you blind?"

Minnick was stunned and saw George pointing his finger at him and scolding him, and he was very angry.

"Coach Levi, this is not a place you can come in."

George saw that he said this, and Mininick didn't react much. He sneered at the corner of his mouth and continued to taunt: "Mr. Referee, my player is going to leave the field, and I don't know how many games he will rest. I'm really curious, do you have to wait until my player's leg is broken before you are willing to give a red card. Do you have a referee certificate?"

This sentence really angered Mininick, and Mininick took out the red card without hesitation. Then he stretched out his hand to George and pointed to the stands.

"Besides playing cards at me, what else can you do? You should go back and take a good refereeing course before you come to be a referee, and don't embarrass yourself on the court." George had completely lost control and just wanted to scold the referee.

After George finished scolding, he ignored the referee. "Daniel, come here. You will be the captain in the next game, and play well for me."

"George, you are too impulsive." Carl Pat did not approve of George's impulsiveness.

After George calmed down, he also felt that he was too impulsive. But he did not regret it. From the beginning, George wanted to scold this asshole referee.

"Evan, let those guys calm down during the halftime break. I don't want to see a wrestling match in the second half, I want to watch a football match. Tell them, I don't care what method they use in the second half, I want to see a goal. I want to win, I just want to win." After saying that, he walked onto the stands.

…………

"Barak passed the ball back and Mitchell got the ball. Barnett didn't retract his foot... Oops. Mitchell fell to the ground in pain. This move was too big. The ball was obviously aimed at people. This is a very dangerous move."

"The Burnley team doctor has come to Mitchell... Hey, Coach Levy has also come to the field."

"Yellow card, it's not a red card, but a yellow card! This is incredible. The referee's yellow card is too light. Barnett's action should not only be given a red card, but also an additional penalty after the game."

"What did we see? George and the referee quarreled. The referee gave George a red card, and I don't know what George said. But George definitely has reason to be angry. If the referee hadn't been too soft and condoned West Brom's rough actions, this would not have happened."

When the referee showed George a red card, Turf Moor suddenly booed. The overwhelming booing made everyone on the field feel suffocated.

When George walked to the audience, the audience made way.

"George! George! George!" Suddenly, all the fans in the stadium started shouting George's name in unison, and also used this way to mock the referee who sent George off.
