Coaching legend

Ljungberg was lying in the apartment rented by the club, staring blankly at the ceiling. Mitchell's words still had a huge impact on Ljungberg.

At the beginning, Ljungberg really felt that since he was worth 800,000 pounds, George would definitely not do anything to him. Moreover, Ljungberg also felt that George did not understand his football at all, and he was not qualified to teach him how to play football.

But half a month passed, and George didn't respond. A month passed, and George still had no response. It has been almost two months now, and George still has no response. This made Ljungberg a little worried. The original self-confidence was eroded bit by bit.

To this day, after hearing what Mitchell said, Ljungberg could no longer sit still.

If, as Mitchell said, George blocked him and neither allowed him to transfer nor allow himself to play, then he would really be ruined. In four years, there can be several four years for players. Don't say four years, a player's career only lasts how many years.

Ljungberg suddenly felt helpless and could only apologize to George for the sake of his future.

Ljungberg let out a long sigh of relief, and suddenly his heart calmed down when he thought of apologizing to George. Let’s start looking back at some things after moving to Burnley.

Ljungberg thought of what George began to say to him in the warm-up match, and what George warned him in the first game. I have always looked down on George, a young coach, and Burnley, a new team in League One. So I felt that everything George said was nonsense, and later he deliberately targeted himself.

But the moment he decided to apologize, Ljungberg found his heart calmed down. People are like this. When they don't like something, they always feel that the other person is deliberately targeting them. But once you calm down and think about it carefully, you will have another answer.

Looking back now, George emphasized the role of the team many times. I corrected my playing style many times, but I never listened. Thinking about it carefully, George gave himself many chances. But every time, I didn't take George's words into my heart.

Also in the first game, when he was subbing out, he passed by George, took off his shirt and threw it to the ground. And without waiting for anyone else, he entered the locker room directly. Such a move would be a provocation to any coach.

Thinking about it this way, Ljungberg felt that he had made more mistakes in this conflict.

In a daze, Ljungberg thought of a lot. When I was very young, I played football with a group of children in Halmstad. Looking at the photo of Nordahl, I told everyone, "I want to become a world-class player like Nordahl." The response was their ridicule.

On September 16, 1995, Nodar died of a heart attack. The whole of Sweden is commemorating the greatest player in Swedish history, when Ljungberg had just entered the Halmstad first team. I also expressed this wish, but received the same ridicule as before.

But Ljungberg was not discouraged because Ljungberg was very confident in himself. In order to join a wealthy club, he traveled across the ocean and came to England. Ljungberg didn’t want to go back in despair, he wanted to prove to everyone that he was not a braggart.

…………

Although Burnley is now praised by many media, George is very anxious. George doesn't want to spend time in the lower leagues at all now. Entering the Premier League a year earlier will be of great benefit to Burnley's future.

Burnley's current offensive power is very problematic, and George has also begun to reflect on his team building ideas. Boboski's success made George feel a little carried away, forgetting that flying with both wings is the right way.

It wasn't until Ljungberg got into trouble that he discovered that Burnley's current wing is so fragile.

George is now working with Evan Sawyer on his next opponent. Because the next game is the real test for Burnley. So far, Burnley has not played against the top six teams in English League One.

The next game is against Bolton Wanderers, who are currently ranked first in English League One.

"Dong dong dong" Someone knocked gently on the door of George's office.

"Come in."

George did not raise his head, but stared closely at the pictures of Bolton's recent games. But the person who came in remained silent, so he looked up in confusion.

The moment he saw the visitor, George was very surprised. Because Ljungberg is standing there.

"Frederick, sit down. What's going on?" George's tone was a little stiff. George was not in a very good mood these days. Now facing Bolton, George's head hurts very much.

Ljungberg did not sit down, and was a little squirmy, unlike his usual self.

"George, you get busy first. I'll go out first." Seeing this situation, Evan Sawyer stood up with a smile. Everyone inside Burnley knows that George has blocked the players he personally introduced, and he is the most expensive signing in Burnley's history.

Evan Sawyer is very smart and knows that Ljungberg has a strong self-esteem and probably doesn't want others to see him apologizing.

"Yeah." George nodded.

It wasn't until Evan Sawyer left the office that Ljungberg hesitantly apologized. "Boss, I'm here to apologize today."

Although he apologized, his attitude was still firm. George was already happy, as long as he apologized, it would be better than anything else. But of course he couldn't show it, so George's expression was still cold.

"Frederick, you have been in the club for more than two months. You should know that our club is a small club with limited financial resources." George spoke slowly. "But I still brought you in at the most expensive transfer price in the club's history. Why do you think that is? You don't really think that our club has a lot of money and doesn't care about 800,000 pounds."

Yongberg didn't speak, just listened to George quietly.

"That's because you have all the abilities of a world-class player. But I think I was wrong. A person who doesn't know how to cooperate with the team and how to integrate into a team can never succeed. No matter how strong you are, a person who doesn't know how to cooperate will never succeed." George said this to Yongberg many times, but Yongberg didn't remember it every time.

But today, in a different occasion and a different mood, Yongberg listened to it. I used to think that George's nagging was directed at me, but today I felt that George had very good expectations for me.

"Yes, boss." This is the first time Yongberg has been so upright since he came to Burnley.

Looking at Yongberg's attitude, George didn't know whether it was a show or from the heart. But George is already very satisfied with this attitude alone.

"Frederick, I want to tell you. I like winning, I pursue winning. But the team I formed pays the most attention to the whole. A team can have a core and a star, but they cannot be above the team. As long as they are on the court, the eleven people must trust and rely on each other to make the team a whole. Only in this way can the team's highest strength be brought into play." George paused, seeing that Yongberg listened to him very seriously, so he nodded.

"Only in such a team can the greatest star be born. Frederick, are you willing to be a member of this great group?" George asked Yongberg very seriously.

Yongberg suddenly raised his head and looked at George. "Boss, I'm willing to give it a try."

"Okay, Frederick. I'll wait and see."
