Coaching legend

After George finished training, he came to York's hotel. Under normal circumstances, George would go to a hotel in York for dinner.

Today was no exception. I came to the hotel in York to have dinner. Unfortunately, before entering, I could already hear the sounds coming from inside.

A group of fans had already gathered inside, all discussing the match between Burnley and Blackburn. There was a big shirtless man who stood up with a glass of beer and shouted loudly: "Here's to us getting rid of those bastards at Blackburn in the League Cup!"

A group of fans present immediately raised their glasses and shouted: "Cheers!"

I drank it in one gulp...

"Cheers to Burnley!"

"Cheers to victory!"

Another gulp poured in...

George froze at the door, staring at these drunkards with his mouth open. "Grandma is a bear. There are so many drunken players in England. It turns out there is a tradition." No wonder others say that England is rich in football hooligans. These people drink without restraint and act wild after drinking. They are what people call football hooligans.

"Brother George, you're here." Miranda, who was watching the fans boredly at the bar, spotted George immediately.

George nodded and walked in with a smile. "Little York, as usual."

Miranda shrugged, smiled and went in to get ready.

"Burns, why are you drinking again? Doesn't that person in your family hate you drinking the most?" Almost all the fans gathered in the Old York Hotel were neighbors.

The total population of Burnley is only over 80,000, which is not even as big as some small towns in China. Many of you here are quite familiar with George.

Burns is very tall, 1.87 meters tall. He was once a professional rugby player, but later he injured his left arm and quit the professional team. But the perfect figure I maintained during exercise has been maintained to this day.

I don’t know why, but Burns became an avid fan. Slightly famous among Burnley fans.

Burns slammed the table and yelled at his neck. "George, you underestimate me. I tell you, no one can control me." Looking at the arms that were thicker than his own thighs, George shook his head. Burns' current image is that of a football hooligan.

But Burns thought George didn't believe it and became furious. "George, the game against Blackburn is about to begin. Can you win? If you win, I will pay for your meal in York for a year."

"Burns, are you serious?" George also became more energetic. George spends half of his annual meal money on Old York's restaurants.

Burns was shirtless and patted his chest. "Of course, George. I mean what I say. As long as you beat Blackburn, everything will be easy for you."

"Yes, George, you must give those bastards in Blackburn some color."

"Yes, George, Blackburn must be killed."

George looked at a group of fans whose eyes were red from drinking and felt proud. "Of course, those bastards at Blackburn cursed us to stay in the fourth tier forever a few years ago. But we'll be back in the First Division next year and we'll be in the Super League not too long after that. This trip to Ewood Park will definitely give us a Look at their colors.”

"That's right, that's right. Kill Blackburn." Old York no longer cared about business at all. "Miranda, get George a beer."

…………

Before the game between Burnley and Blackburn, the media had already started to hype this game.

Logically speaking, a match between a Super League team and a Second League team, and it is in the League Cup, is nothing at all. What's more, the third round of the League Cup has a heavyweight match between Liverpool and Newcastle United.

But who makes Blackburn and Burnley two derby rivals that have been fighting for hundreds of years. More importantly, Blackburn are currently in a very bad situation in the Premier League. Kenny Dalglish was promoted to director of football after winning the championship, and handed over the leadership duties to his deputy Ray Shaft. The start of the 1995-96 season was extremely poor. They lost the first three league rounds and were eliminated in the Europa League group stage. In addition, main players such as Naxos and Sutton needed long-term recovery from injuries. Although in more than half a month, the results were somewhat There is a rebound trend, but the overall situation is not very optimistic.

On the other hand, Burnley, under the leadership of young coach George, has achieved nine consecutive victories in the second division. Of course, if you include two League Cup wins, it's eleven consecutive wins.

And before the second round draw of the League Cup, George shouted in front of the Blackburn media: "Come on, I want to compete with the Premier League champions.". This sentence later set off a war of words between the two places.

“Blackburn Rovers, founded in 1875, and Burnley, founded in 1882, are both founding teams of the English Football League. In the barbaric era more than a hundred years ago, both teams were once strong contenders for the league championship. In 1914, Blackburn and Burnley, both in Lancashire, won the league and FA Cup respectively, creating a great story. However, in the following years, the two teams became inseparable due to various reasons. The rivals are close friends, and their home stadiums are only 16 kilometers apart, and they never welcome fans from the other side.”

"Blackburn is now in the Premier League, while Burnley is in the third-tier league. The two teams are in completely different situations. After Blackburn won the Premier League last season, it is struggling in the league this season. Burnley was relegated from the First Division to the Second Division last season. Under the leadership of young coach George Levy, it has won nine consecutive league games. They are about to compete in the third round of the League Cup. Let's first listen to what Blackburn coach Ray Shaft thinks of this game."

The TV screen shows the entrance of Ewood Park, and Ray Shaft is interviewed by the media. "This is just a very ordinary League Cup. Burnley only has Blackburn in their eyes, but unfortunately Blackburn is the Premier League champion team, and the teams they face are all top European teams. The teams in the Second Division are not in our eyes."

Ray Shaft's words can be said to be naked contempt for Burnley.

The BBC reporter smiled wickedly and said to the camera: "Next, let's hear what George Levy, a young coach with the title of personality coach, thinks about this?"

George was interviewed at his doorstep, keeping his usual smile and said: "To call a derby an ordinary League Cup is a sign of guilt. A derby is a derby, and it is different from an ordinary game. Some people are very hypocritical." George ridiculed Shaft as soon as he opened his mouth. "Our goal at Burnley is very clear, which is to be promoted to the Premier League step by step. We have made every effort for this goal. Unlike some clubs, they are too ambitious and don't know how to position themselves. The most pitiful thing in the world is not knowing how to weigh themselves."

Shaft despised Burnley, and George responded tit for tat. Shaft said that Burnley was not on the same level as Blackburn, and George also ridiculed Blackburn for not knowing how much they weighed.
