Coaching legend

"George has won another championship." Burns sighed while drinking in Old York's bar.

For Old York, George wanted him to leave Burnley. There was no problem going to Blackburn or other big cities. Although Old York was not rich, he had savings for retirement. Although Europe did not attach much importance to these, George had Chinese thinking in his bones.

As a son or daughter, it was his responsibility to take care of his parents in their old age.

Since George decided to marry Miranda, Miranda's father was his father-in-law. With George's current wealth, it would be no problem for Old York to live in a big city like London.

George's current salary from Blackburn alone plus various bonuses is more than 800,000 pounds a year.

And George is currently one of the major shareholders of Allen Agency. When the agency was established, George invested a lot of money. At present, there are already several people with high salaries under Allen Agency.

Klose has basically reached an agreement with Blackburn. His new contract is about to be signed. The weekly salary of the new contract will exceed 20,000 pounds, reaching 24,000 pounds. And Deco's weekly salary will also reach 20,000 pounds.

Only Cudicini's weekly salary is a bit low, only 13,000 pounds.

Of course, Allen now has more than 20 players. The annual income is not a small amount. And most of them are young players, and now they are slowly starting to play. Once they all start to play as the main force, Allen's money will flow in.

There will also be George's money.

So it can be said that as long as George does not live a luxurious life of a billionaire and wants to live a better life, he will not worry about money.

Therefore, George hopes that Old York can end his restaurant in Burnley. This is not only because Old York is tired, but now George is the coach of Blackburn, and he is the biggest traitor in the eyes of Burnley fans. It can even be said that George is the biggest traitor in Burnley's history.

George is a little scared. George has been with fans before, so he knows those fans.

Their ideas are very simple. And they have clear likes and dislikes. They hate George now. Once they know about George and Miranda's relationship, will they get drunk and smash Old York's restaurant? George doesn't know.

But Old York rejected George's proposal.

It's not just the Chinese who are reluctant to leave their hometown. Old York is used to Burnley. Old York has lived in Burnley for fifty years and told George categorically that he will not leave Burnley.

Therefore, Old York's restaurant in Burnley is still a gathering place for Burnley fans.

Burnley's English League One has begun. Although it is a team that has just been relegated from the Premier League, Burnley's start in the English League One is not very good. Especially this summer, Burnley has sold almost all of its main players.

Or those main players want to leave Burnley themselves. They are unwilling to accompany Burnley in the English League One struggle.

Burnley's strength has dropped significantly, and even in the English League One, the results are very poor.

When seeing George lead Blackburn to win the European Super Cup, Burnley fans sighed helplessly. Burns was the person who had the best relationship with George back then.

"Why do you mention George?"

A fan next to him paused when he heard George's name and said unhappily.

The name George has become a taboo in Burnley. All Burnley fans seem to have agreed not to mention George's name. When George is mentioned, everyone feels anger and pain.

George was originally a Burnley man. He is a Burnley man through and through. George's ancestors have been supporters of Burnley.

George, like other Burnley people, has been a Burnley fan since childhood. His coaching career also started in Burnley, leaving Burnley with countless classic moments. But he left. He was squeezed out of the club by Kilby.

Now George has become the head coach of Blackburn, leading Blackburn to win one championship after another. And last season he personally pushed Burnley to the English League One.

Therefore, Burnley fans are very tacit about George and never mention George's name.

Burns saw the solemn atmosphere in the restaurant, so he shook his head.

"George, George. Why do you have to choose Blackburn?"

Everyone was in a bad mood. Old York looked at everyone and sighed.

George certainly didn't know what Burnley fans were thinking at this time. And even if he knew, there was nothing he could do. George is not a saint. If George is asked to give up his job at Blackburn now and save Burnley? Only a fool would do such a thing.

George has not reached that noble level yet.

Now George is urgently preparing for the game against Liverpool.

Liverpool had one win and one loss in the first two games. In the first round, they defeated Bradford 1-0, and in the second round, they lost to Arsenal 0-2 away.

The state is not very good, but it is not bad. As for losing to Arsenal away, there is no need to blame this. Although Arsenal has lost Overmars and Petit this season, Wenger has also introduced some good players to fill the gap.

In recent seasons, Wenger's Arsenal has a few teams that dare to guarantee that they can get out of Highbury unscathed.

Wenger's Arsenal is definitely one of the teams in England that is strong at home but average away from home. Arsenal's home ground, Highbury, is definitely one of the most difficult stadiums to conquer.

In addition, Wenger's Arsenal has been built for four seasons, while Houllier's Liverpool has just undergone a major change. Everyone thought about losing to Arsenal away from home before the game. No one blamed Houllier.

…………

“Houllier’s performance in Liverpool has been average in the two seasons since he took over. In the past two seasons, he has not even made it to the League Cup. This is a very embarrassing result for a famous coach like Houllier. For a giant like Liverpool, this is also an unacceptable result.”

“Therefore, Houllier has made a lot of moves in Liverpool this season. Sami Hyypia, Marcus Babel, Christian Zieger, Nicky Barmby, Bernard Diomede, Gregory Vignal, the transfer fees of these players add up to 30 million pounds.”

“Houllier has spent more than 50 million pounds since he joined Liverpool. The effect depends on Liverpool’s performance this season.”

The game has not started yet, and the commentator has already entered his role. This time, the commentators are Mortensen and Lineker.

"From the analysis of the schedule, Liverpool has the advantage. Liverpool played its last game on the 24th, and it has rested for three days. Blackburn played the European Super Cup against Real Madrid on the 25th."

"And just four days ago, Blackburn played a league game. Blackburn has a game every two days this week, and the intensive schedule is absolutely rare. Blackburn's physical strength is a problem."

Speaking of it, Blackburn and Liverpool have no grudges.

But George and Liverpool have a lot of grudges. When George was still in Burnley, he had a lot of verbal battles with the Liverpool media because he satirized Liverpool legends Alan Hansen and Mark Lawrenson.

After arriving at Blackburn, George didn't think about any conflicts with Liverpool.

But because of the disagreement between him and Mark Lawrenson, George would quarrel with Mark Lawrenson every few days. As the most powerful newspaper supporting Mark Lawrenson, the Liverpool Echo became the main target of George's complaints.

Although it was just a grudge between George and Mark Lawrenson. But the fans' thinking is simple.

The Liverpool Echo and George are at odds, which means Liverpool Club and George are at odds. So Blackburn fans are holding back their energy in this match with Liverpool, ready to ridicule Liverpool.

Since George led Blackburn to great results, every game at Ewood Park has been packed.

Not to mention the focus battle with Liverpool, which has attracted the attention of Blackburn fans.

Many Liverpool fans have also come. Liverpool and Blackburn are not far apart.

Liverpool fans are proud. As fans of Liverpool, the top club in England, they have a sense of superiority.

But people are like this, they can't stand you being arrogant. Therefore, as fans of a small team, a grassroots team, Blackburn, they don't like Liverpool fans. They dislike them very much, and there may be a hint of jealousy in it.

Therefore, before the game started, Blackburn fans gathered together and started to laugh at Liverpool, who didn't even get a place in the League Cup.

Liverpool fans are not easy to mess with. They immediately retorted. "We have four Champions Leagues, do you have one? We have 18 top league titles, how many do you have?"

When hearing Liverpool bragging about their history, Blackburn fans also hit back at them.

"We have the Premier League title, do you have one? We are going to participate in the Champions League, you haven't been to the Champions League for many years."

The fans of both sides were very lively. They went back and forth and ridiculed each other. Liverpool was showing off their glorious history, while Blackburn ridiculed Liverpool's recent poor performance.

Looking at the fans of both sides, Mortensen and Lineker smiled.

"The starting lineups of both teams have been announced. Liverpool's goalkeeper is Sandor Westerveld, the defenders from left to right are Zieger, Marcus Babel, Hyypia, Carragher, the four midfielders are Nick Barmby, Hamann, Gerrard, Patrick Berg, and the forwards are Heskey and Michael Owen."

"Blackburn has made a lot of changes. The goalkeeper is Cudicini, the defenders from left to right are Gallas, Henning Berg, Ferdinand, Sun Jihai, the midfielders from left to right are Pires, Hargreaves, McAllister, Deco, Bellamy, and the lone striker is Klose."

"The game is about to start. Let's wait and see who will win in the end."
