Chapter 70 The Head Coach Returns

Burnley has only two points in the last three games, with two draws and one loss. In seven rounds, Burnley has won four, drawn two and lost one, with 14 points, ranking seventh in the English League One.

Many English League One clubs are laughing at Burnley's performance. Of course, many media are gloating, and they are very reluctant to see George, a young coach, so arrogant. They are very happy to show George some power.

"I have said before that Burnley is very young from the coach to the players. Their emotions must fluctuate greatly, so the slogans shouted by Coach Levy at the beginning of the season will put a lot of pressure on Burnley's young players. At the beginning, it was not obvious, but as the league progresses, this pressure will become greater and greater."

"It's only seven rounds, and Burnley's players can't stand the pressure. Now they are only ranked seventh in the English League One, so young coaches should choose to be more humble. Coach Levy has no experience and doesn't know how to mobilize the enthusiasm of the players. He thinks that as long as he shouts slogans, the players will be excited. He doesn't know that players are not machines, they are all people."

"In my opinion, Burnley lost a promotion spot this season because of Coach Levy's arrogance."

Mark Lawrenson is at odds with George. In his column, he criticized Burnley bluntly. He even ridiculed George.

George did not refute, and no matter how good his words were, they were not convincing at all.

…………

In the eighth round of the league, Burnley faced another strong team in the English League One, Middlesbrough, which had just been relegated to the First Division.

Speaking of Middlesbrough, it had a lot of ups and downs last season. At the beginning of last season, Middlesbrough bought a lot of stars. They entered the finals of the two major English cups, but unfortunately they lost to Leicester City 0-1 in the League Cup final, and then lost to Chelsea 0-2 in the FA Cup final.

Of course, it is not a big problem to win the runner-up in the two major cups. The problem is that they ranked 19th in the Premier League and were relegated to the First Division. The stars are scattered internally, but the strength is still ranked at the top in the First Division.

Especially now Middlesbrough has a talented player, of course, a former talented player. Paul Gascoigne, Gascoigne just transferred to Middlesbrough. It's a pity that the glory is gone. If it was two years ago, George would definitely guard Gascoigne tightly. But now? Whether he can beat Ballack is not a question at all.

Middlesbrough currently ranks second in the First Division with 16 points and five wins, one draw and one loss.

"Look, Mark Lawrenson said we can't be promoted this season. What do you think?" George finally returned to the head coach position after his suspension.

"Boss, who cares what he's talking about. When we return to the Premier League, we can laugh at him, right?"

"Yes, Mark Lawrenson is nothing."

"I've been displeased with him for a long time. What does he know?"

The players below all expressed their dislike for Mark Lawrenson. Since Mark Lawrenson and George had a verbal fight last time, everyone has become like this without realizing it.

In fact, Burnley and Mark Lawrenson have nothing in common. In other words, Mark Lawrenson has no prejudice against Burnley. As a Liverpool star, he doesn't like many clubs. Burnley doesn't even have a place in them.

But because of George, Mark Lawrenson has set his sights on Burnley. Burnley club, players and fans are also very unhappy with Mark Lawrenson.

"Yes, Mark Lawrenson is nothing." George laughed and scolded Mark Lawrenson. "But he once won the top league championship and is qualified to comment on you juniors. If you want to shut him up, you should still speak with results."

"In these three games, our results are indeed not good. But we took a nap and they thought we were going to sleep completely."

"Guys, it's no big deal. Because we are starting to show them what confidence we have to shout that we have reserved a promotion spot."

What George is most satisfied with in this game is the return of Ballack. Unlike the previous two years, although Burnley now has two wings flying together, the entire team is built around Ballack, the core of the midfield.

"Frederick, Serra, your mission is always so simple. Break through, break through, and break through again. Then, according to the actual situation, you can pass, shoot, or create free kicks and penalties."

"Middlesbrough seems to have good results now, but in fact, they sold a lot of players in the summer, so they don't have enough tacit understanding. There has been no problem so far because they haven't encountered strong teams. Therefore, I have only one requirement for this game. That is to attack, attack, and attack again, and make sure to completely break through their defense line that is not tacit enough."

"Recently, our results are average, but Middlesbrough's results are very strong. As everyone knows, Robson is a very tough coach. He was like this when he was a player, so he will definitely attack in this game. He will think that we will defend and counterattack. We must catch him off guard."

The current head coach of Middlesbrough is the famous Manchester United "Magic Captain" Brian Robson. Compared with his brilliant playing career, his coaching career is not particularly successful.

"The football was passed to Ballack's feet. Burnley usually passes it to Ballack. Ballack was observing the situation on the field, and Merson rushed forward and passed. Beautiful pass! Long pass! Ballack suddenly A long pass... Klose passed it to Robbie Keane. It was a one-shot shot! "

"This series of combinations is simple and practical, including Ballack's sudden long pass, Klose's overhead pass, and Robbie Keane's fatal blow. This is Robbie Keane's fifth goal in the English League One. At the age of 17, Robbie Keane attracted everyone’s attention with his outstanding performance.”

Less than five minutes into the game, Burnley opened the scoring.

George stood in the middle of the riverside stadium, listening to the boos of the fans, and closed his eyes tightly. Feel the atmosphere on the court.

"Evan, I watched three games in the stands, and what I miss most is the smell of the stadium. I found that I do belong to the stadium."

Evan Sawyer smiled and nodded. "Yes, you belong to football." During this period, Evan Sawyer replaced George and led Burnley in the game. It was my first time to be a head coach, even though I was just an agent, but I was under a lot of pressure.

Although George is not the type of coach who yells from the sidelines, George very much likes to stand on the sidelines and watch the game.

Many players are familiar with George watching the game from the sidelines. If he plays well, George will occasionally applaud. But when George is away, many players will feel uncomfortable. Even Evan Sawyer and Karl Pat felt that way.

The current Burnley players are completely put together by George hand by hand. The center of Burnley is George. Evan completely understood after these games.

After leading by one goal, the game became very easy to play. Burnley is best at playing this kind of leading situation. Ljungberg, Camoranesi, Robbie Keane and even Daniel on the wing all like this kind of leading situation very much. The next kick.

"Barack stole the ball from Gazza. Gazza's body was completely gone. Ballack just bumped slightly and flew over. Alcohol and women ruined England's best talent in decades." Mo. Theson saw that Gascoigne was completely at a disadvantage in the fight with Ballack, and shook his head with regret.

"... Camoranesi, he got Ballack's pass. He broke through along the sideline and passed... Robbie Keane... No, it was Klose who hit the goal with his head... GOOOOOOOOOOAL ! ! Klose!

"Klose's skills with his feet are a bit rough, but his head is definitely one of the best in Serie A. The two league goals he scored this season were both scored with his head."

"Beautiful, only 20 minutes have passed in the first half, and Burnley is already leading Middlesbrough 2-0 away from home. You can't tell that this is a strong conversation in the English League. You don't know what it is. Middlesbrough is too weak or Burnley is too strong.”

Burnley was on full fire in this game. Twelve minutes into the second half, Ballack received a pass from Ljungberg and scored his third goal in the English League One with a long shot from the edge of the penalty area. ball.

In the end, Burnley defeated the powerful Middlesbrough 3-0 on the road.

After winning against Middlesbrough, George looked proudly at the camera. "I've seen the door to the Premier League."

"After two draws and one loss in the last three games, Burnley suddenly showed strength in this game and defeated Middlesbrough cleanly with a score of 3-0. All criticism of Burnley disappeared in an instant. Suspended for three games George returned to the coaching bench and directed the game. This is the change George brought to Burnley. He can bring a different spirit to this team."

"Burnley Post" reporter Morgan wrote in the newspaper after the game. "The role of the head coach!"
