Coaching legend

"History is such a coincidence. In Burnley's most important relegation battle, Burnley's opponent turned out to be George. It turned out to be George, the meritorious coach in Burnley's history." Martin Taylor's familiar voice explained today's game.

For such a coincidental schedule, even Martin Taylor felt incredible.

"Yes, George is an indelible memory for Burnley fans now. Twenty-four years ago, after Burnley was relegated from the top league, Burnley had been only able to hang around in the lower leagues. It can even be said that it could only be in the third and fourth leagues. Until George's sudden appearance five years ago."

"At that time, Burnley had just been relegated from the English League One to the English League Two. At this time, George, a young coach of only 27 years old, took office amid everyone's doubts. But George quickly used his achievements to turn this doubt into applause."

"During George's three years at Burnley, Burnley successfully promoted from the English League Two team to the Premier League. He also won the League Cup and the FA Cup. Even in the 100-year history of Burnley, George's achievements are counted."

"But such a meritorious coach left Burnley because of differences with the management."

Martin Taylor briefly introduced the relationship between George and Burnley. As he spoke, Martin Taylor was immersed in the recent history. George's three years at Burnley were a complete miracle.

"Unfortunately, George chose Blackburn in the end." Andy Gray sighed beside him.

"Yes. If George had chosen any Premier League team, I believe that when George returned to Turf Moor, he would be greeted with applause. But because George chose Blackburn, George became the biggest traitor in Burnley's 100-year history."

"Maybe it was fate that at such an important relegation moment for Burnley, the opponent they faced was George's Blackburn. Even facing Blackburn, it was already a game full of flames. Now facing Blackburn led by George, this game is even more interesting."

"Andy, tell me, will George let the game go." Andy Gray suddenly asked Martin Taylor.

George has a strange personality. No one in the Premier League does not know George's temper. But what is George's real temper, but many people can't guess. Anyway, there are a hundred answers in the eyes of a hundred people.

Different people have different answers.

Just like when Ballack left Burnley and went to Germany, he was extremely respectful of George in front of the media. He thinks George is the best coach. He knows how to communicate with players and how to help them. He cares about players like a friend.

But after Gudjohnsen arrived at Chelsea, he accused George of nepotism. Although he did not say anything bad to George, it also reflected George.

Those reporters, football celebrities, and football commentators who were ridiculed by George said that George was an uneducated bumpkin. However, some reporters who were close to George said that George was a man of loyalty and righteousness. And George was a little indecisive.

So no one can say what George's character is like?

"It shouldn't be. George doesn't seem to be a soft-hearted person. And George is still very serious about the game. I think at most George will not attack the opponent crazily, but will just let it go." Martin Taylor thought for a while, and then expressed his thoughts.

Andy Gray shook his head.

"I don't think so. In my opinion, George should not want Burnley to be relegated. Therefore, this game will definitely open a gap."

…………

In fact, Andy Gray did guess George's thoughts.

George hated Kilby very much, and hated Keller Varga, Kilby's lackey, even more. George wanted to strangle them to death.

What George left for Burnley was definitely a strong team in the Premier League. But after George left, Kilby sold key players such as Ljungberg, Robbie Keane, and Gary Breen one after another. This led to the current relegation of Burnley.

Kilby made a lot of money in this process. It can be said that the three million pounds he invested in Burnley at the beginning has now become tens of millions of pounds. But it fattened Kilby's pocket, but it made Burnley suffer.

It has been two years since George left Burnley, but it would be a lie if George had no feelings for Burnley.

George does not want to see Burnley relegated. Of course, it is not for Kilby's face, but for the face of Burnley fans.

But now George leads the team Blackburn, Burnley's century-old opponent. Although most of the current Blackburn players have just joined Blackburn for a few years, the derby is something that is hard to explain.

Before they joined Blackburn, they might not even know which club Blackburn and Burnley are. But once they joined Blackburn, they would immediately know that Burnley is the team's century-old rival.

Although George wanted to let Burnley go at this time, he would never show this idea in front of his players.

But George's deployment showed this idea. George put the main players such as Klose, Pires, Duff and Miku, who are in hot form recently, on the bench. George put Hargreaves, David Dunn and Deco in the midfield, and Romedal and Bellamy on the two wings.

The back line is also full of young players.

George even let Drogba play as a striker. Drogba has only scored one goal so far.

After the game started, the two teams played evenly. In fact, in terms of strength, even the substitute players Blackburn are very strong. But compared with Blackburn, Burnley's desire to win is stronger. Because they know that losing or even drawing this game is useless.

Only victory can have a chance of relegation.

All the fans at Turf Moor are shouting with all their strength. They no longer have the heart to scold George as a traitor, they just hope Burnley can win now.

Thirteen minutes into the game, suddenly the entire Turf Moor Stadium erupted in huge cheers. It was not because of this game, but because of the news of a goal in another game that started at the same time.

Liverpool scored a goal at home and led Bradford 1-0. This is definitely good news for Burnley, because as long as they beat Blackburn, they will only be two points behind Bradford. As long as they win the last game, Burnley still has the hope of relegation.

After seeing hope, Burnley's attack is getting more and more fierce.

Just three minutes later, Turf Moor Stadium once again remembered huge cheers. Liverpool scored again, and Liverpool was already leading Bradford 2-0 at home. It can be said that Bradford must have lost on the other side.

Now it depends on this game.

The news that Bradford was two goals behind Liverpool immediately boosted the morale of Burnley. Their attack suddenly burst into the greatest passion.

George sat on the bench and leaned his head back deeply. There was almost no interference in the progress of the game.

"...Holland passed the ball to the left, and it was Daniel who got the ball...Daniel was very fast. Facing Sun's defense, what would he choose?"

Daniel was already the captain of Burnley. He was almost bloodthirsty in this game. He knew that this was the most important game for Burnley. Therefore, he ran straight up and down on the left, regardless of his physical strength. After receiving the ball from Matthew Holland, Daniel ran with big strides.

Sun Jihai looked at Daniel and did not dare to be careless at all.

Although Sun Jihai and Daniel had only played against each other once, he had seen Daniel's games. Especially because he had to play under George, he had seen George lead Burnley to the League Cup final and the FA Cup final.

There Sun Jihai saw Daniel and Daniel's amazing speed.

So Sun Jihai looked at Daniel very cautiously.

Daniel saw Sun Jihai standing in position, so Daniel made a false impression of breaking through with speed, and then suddenly cut inside.

Before the game, George announced the starting lineup and briefly explained the tactics, but actually did not say anything else. Therefore, almost all the players on the Blackburn field played according to the training content.

Daniel's cut inside was indeed very hidden. It caught Blackburn off guard.

"Daniel, cut inside... Daniel, shoot!"

Just after cutting inside, Daniel took advantage of the moment when Blackburn's defense had not reacted and made a long shot.

Long shot is one of Daniel's most important weapons. In addition to his amazing speed, Daniel's feet are also very hard. Daniel's shot, the ball flew past like a cannonball. Cudicini has tried his best to save, but unfortunately he still couldn't stop the goal.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!!!!" Burnley's live commentator was almost crazy. This goal can be said to be worth a thousand gold. "Daniel, our Daniel, he scored the most important goal. He is our captain and our Burnley hero."

The moment Daniel scored, the fans at Turf Moor were crazy.

Now Bradford is behind Liverpool, and Burnley is ahead of Blackburn. In this way, the score difference between the two teams is only two points. As long as Burnley wins the last game, Burnley will be able to stay in the Premier League.

"Daniel Morrison", "Daniel Morrison".

The whole stadium only has Daniel's shouts.

George suddenly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Daniel score a goal. George didn't know what he was thinking now. But George knew one thing anyway, that is, George absolutely didn't want Burnley to be relegated.

Of course, there was also a little selfishness, that is, Burnley must not be relegated in his hands.

Now Daniel's goal made George feel a little relieved.
