"Let's take a look at George. Burnley fell behind 0-2 in the first game after returning to the team, and he was not in a hurry. He still chatted leisurely with Karl next to him."
Mortensen smiled and shook his head.
George was indeed not in a hurry. Many people are not optimistic about Burnley now. But after this period of understanding, George became confident.
Before coming, George was still very worried. After all, it is a club that only scored 11 points. Relegation is not that easy. But in the past few days after arriving at Burnley, George carefully measured Burnley's strength.
After understanding it, I became more and more confident about relegation.
George has been discussing with Karl next to him how to train the team. How the team should play.
??George didn¡¯t get up during the entire game.
All games are directed by Mitchell. George shook his head.
Mitchell has been a coach of the first team for more than ten years, and his command level is not good at all.
If it weren¡¯t for Mitchell¡¯s prestige at Burnley, George would be really worried about how he would control the locker room and be the acting head coach. It seems that he will be used more often to control the atmosphere in the locker room in the future. As for command, still
At the end of the game, George was ridiculed loudly.
The happiest thing is that Mark Lawrenson, who has the worst relationship with George, is like celebrating a holiday. "Coach Levi definitely made the wrong choice."
"I feel really sad. Coach Levy should not be like this. He is the best manager in England. His command position should be at the Bernabeu and the Allianz Arena, not the humble Turf Moor Stadium."
"Look at the game against the Wolves. Coach Levy has completely lost his former sharpness. If his team was beaten like that by the Wolves in the past, Coach Levy would definitely be furious. But look at yesterday's game, It's zero to two, and George is still firmly on the bench. After half a year's rest, it seems that George's temper is gone."
"He will encounter a real Waterloo. No matter how many championships he has won in the past, he will not succeed at Burnley."
"Why? Why Coach Levy made this decision is too difficult to understand."
Mark Lawrenson is a famous player in British football. It should be said that there are many topics to talk about.
But what he loves most is bashing George.
Because George has the most attention.
With the exception of Mark Lawrenson, many newspapers are not very optimistic about George's trip to Burnley. In newspapers such as "The Sun" and "News of the World", many football celebrities have their own columns.
Their meaning is similar to that of Mark Lawrenson.
They are all not optimistic about Burnley's relegation situation.
"Look, these so-called football celebrities are outdated. If they are so good, how come they only brag in newspapers every day. If they are really capable, they can compete on the field."
What George looks down upon most are these so-called football celebrities.
Relying on the good results he had as a player. Just brag about it in the newspapers every day. If you were a head coach and listened to their nonsense, you would have been dismissed from get out of class countless times.
"Forget it, George." Karl smiled and shook his head. It was as if George was specifically fighting against these people. George doesn't like any of those football celebrities. In other words, George is like a fighter.
Because of criticizing these football celebrities, George also received a lot of siege.
But George is still enjoying it.
¡°George, we¡¯re here.¡±
George looked up and looked ahead. The team bus arrived at Turf Moor.
This is the twenty-first round of the Premier League. Burnley face Bolton Wanderers at home.
? 2010, January 10.
From the 20th round of the Premier League to today, it has been thirteen days and two weeks. George used these two weeks to fine tune the team's lineup. Now George is becoming more and more confident.
Twelve years ago, after leaving Burnley, it was not like George had never returned to Turf Moor. But it will be the first time for Burnley to return to Turf Moor. In the past ten years, every time George came back here, all he heard was boos from the audience.
So George was a little afraid of coming to Turf Moor.
George breathed a sigh of relief and was the first to walk down.
"Coach Levy, are you confident that Burnley will avoid relegation?"
¡°Burnley is now in a good position?Eleven points and eighteen games remaining. Do you really have confidence? "
"How does it feel to be the manager of Burnley again?"
An ordinary game, an ordinary game can no longer be an ordinary game. Burnley and Bolton are both teams in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League. But because of George, it became one of the most watched games.
Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar Turf Moor Stadium, George calmed down.
"With me, there is no failure. Relegation? I am George Levy. Do you think I will worry about relegation?"
George is still so cool.
After finishing speaking, he ignored the reporters chasing him and entered the stadium.
"I've said everything that needs to be said. When you get to the court, you have to be steady, steady."
George didn¡¯t make a tirade in the locker room.
You have to practice everything you need to practice.
"Jack, you are in the middle, use the pass to mobilize the offense. Don't rush up. Don't be nervous, believe in yourself."
George patted Wilshere on the shoulder as he was walking out.
Just after Wilshere was loaned out, George gave him the important responsibility of the midfielder. For Wilshere, a young player who is only 18 years old, George attaches great importance to him. Even Karl was a little surprised that George used Wilshere so highly.
Wilshere is certainly strong. But at such a young age, Karl was afraid that Wilshere wouldn't be able to handle the pressure.
Although he is not his own player, the talented player Karl still cherishes him.
But George believed in Wilshere. This is a player with a strong character and a big heart. Just too young.
Wilshere nodded gratefully.
In British football, George and Wenger are equally famous. They are all good at cultivating young talented players. But Arsenal is a wealthy club now, although it has been a bit worse in recent years. But there are too many good players in the midfield, and Wilshere cannot play the game.
??And Burnley is a team that is relegated.
After arriving here on loan, Wilshere did not expect that George would take him so seriously. Leave the organization of the middle lane to yourself.
"Okay, get out quickly."
When the game was about to start, George and Karl walked out.
"George has entered the game. This is George's return to Turf Moor as the head coach of Burnley."
The moment George entered the field, the Turf Moor Stadium, which had been noisy just now, suddenly fell silent. There was no applause, no boos, and all the Burnley fans didn't know how to treat George.
Welcome George? The knot in their hearts has not yet been resolved.
?? Booing George like before? Now George is in danger. With George's current reputation, he was able to come to Burnley solely because of his past friendship. Therefore, Burnley fans could not boo.
Before the game, some fans had this discussion. How should George be treated?
¡°It¡¯s just that George is a taboo subject. What everyone just said is just a superficial taste. So there is no unified view. So when George really came out, the fans looked at me and I looked at you, not knowing how to react.
So when George entered the court, the stadium was unexpectedly silent.
Everyone discovered this anomaly.
Bolton coach Coyle also looked up at the fans at Turf Moor. It was so quiet, it didn't look like a football ground at all.
"Quiet! It's too quiet!"
Mortensen was commenting on the sidelines and said in surprise: "There is no sound at Turf Moor. I only have one feeling now, as if I am in a stadium without anyone."
George also smiled bitterly.
George is also wondering what is going on now.
Until George returned to his seat, Turf Moor Stadium looked the same. No applause, no boos.
This situation continued until the start of the game.
After the game started, the fans cheered again.
"Burnley's starting lineup for this game has changed a lot compared to the previous game. When George took charge of Burnley, the four players he brought with him all played. Daniel Morrison, Campbell, Jack Wilshere and Welbeck all played."
"Wilshere and Welbeck are both on loan. Now they are only young players under the age of 20. After George was loaned, he was directly placed in the main lineup."It's quite good. "
Speaking of which, Welbeck is even more famous. He has played in the first team for Manchester United and scored goals.
Although Wilshere has always been called a genius, Arsenal has too many geniuses. Pick anyone from their youth team at random, and they are all geniuses in English football. So it's not a big deal.
¡°I just didn¡¯t expect that he would become the main midfielder as soon as he arrived.
Regarding Burnley¡¯s original style of play, George actually did not make many changes. There is still an emphasis on running, but it is no longer the kind of blind running.
George used Ashley Chapman, Wilshere, Gareth Gray and Steve Patterson in the middle. Except for Ashley Chapman, who is older, the others are all young players in their twenties.
The forward partners are Welbeck and Thomason Locke.
Thomason Locke is a young man who is only 22 years old and a player from the Burnley youth academy. The biggest feature is his height, which is 1.92 meters tall. He is a high center forward.
He is more than 1.9 meters tall, but has a lot of physical strength. Running on the court for ninety minutes, there is no problem at all.
George likes Thomason Locke very much. This is a very good bridgehead.
The defense has been modified the most by George. Daniel serves as left back, Campbell and Simon Huck partner as central defender, and Job Pearce is the right back.
Simon Harker is very flexible. Fast, aggressive, and good at heading the ball. But the sense of location is not good. George asked him to partner with Campbell, hoping to use Campbell's rich experience to fill his spot.
