Chapter 27 The first step to success

"We have a young magician, he is only 28 years old this year. But he is a great magician, and he beats the enemy. Who is he, who is he? He is George, George!" When George came out of the locker room At that time, the Burnley fans in the audience began to sing the song prepared for George.

Taking office from doubts a year ago, George has completely conquered Burnley fans after a season.At Trevor Moor Stadium, George received the same welcome as stars like Mitchell and Poborski.No, even more than them.

When George heard the singing, he bowed gracefully to each stand.George's action immediately attracted cheers from Trevor Moor Stadium.

"It's been a long time since I saw such a scene at Turf Moor Stadium." The commentator of Sky TV murmured: "I was commenting on the second division league in the 93-94 season, and I also commented on the Burnley game. That year Burton Enley was promoted to the First Division under the leadership of Jimmy Mullan, but he did not see Burnley fans cheering Jimmy Mullan so much. Maybe the young coach Levy is really an excellent magician."

"Yeah, the atmosphere of Turfmore Stadium..." The commentator next to him also shook his head. "Long time no see."

Turfmore Stadium was the first stadium visited by members of the royal family, when Prince Florian Albert, son of Queen Victoria, attended a game against Bolton in October 1886.Before the war, Burnley attracted up to 10 spectators per game, equivalent to the total population of the entire city of Burnley at that time. In 5, the first international match was held at Turf Moor Stadium, England played against Wales, and England lost 1927-1.

However, with the decline of the Burnley team, Turf Moor Stadium has become a history.Even the average attendance at the Turf Moor Stadium in the First Division last season was only about 7000.This season, the average attendance of the second division league is double that of last season.

"Wow, George is so handsome. Miranda, why don't you introduce George to me?" The companion who came with Miranda looked at George obsessively.

But Miranda didn't seem to hear what she said, and just looked at George with a happy face.Every time I see George's smiling face, Milan feels very happy.I thought to myself: brother George is really a piece of wood, he hasn't felt his heart at all for so many years.

"Brother George, why don't you understand me?"

…………

This day is April 40th, the No.[-] round of the English Second Division, Burnley played against Brighton at home.Brighton has almost locked in a relegation spot, and there is only a theoretical possibility of relegation.

Today, the Turf Moor Stadium is full, and there are even many fans cheering for the team outside the stadium.Because once Burnley wins this game, they will become the champions of the English Second Division ahead of schedule.After the end of 37 rounds, Burnley has already locked a place for promotion.

George sent Burnley's strongest lineup today: the goalkeeper is Miller, Grant, Mitchell King, Gary Breen, and Daniel Morrison form the back line.The central defender combination of Mitchell King and Gary Breen has the lowest goal conceded rate in the second division.

And Daniel Morrison is the young star that Burnley turned out to be this season. When he defeated Blackburn in the third round of the League Cup, his performance has been getting better and better since he became famous with one goal.In the next twenty games, he scored three goals and assisted seven.

The midfield is Neil Lennon, Ballack, Danny Murphy, Poborski, and the forward line is still Richard Brody and Darren Huckabee.

Just after the start of the game, the imposing Burnley firmly controlled the rhythm of the field.

In just 7 minutes of the opening, Poborski received a pass from Ballack, sprinted past the right, and finally swayed past the goalkeeper and scored an empty goal.This is already Poborski scored 24 goals in the second division.

"Karel" and "Pobowski!" When the on-site commentator at Turf Moor Stadium shouted "Karel", the fans in the audience would echo "Pobowski" loudly.Poborski ran half a circle, listening to the chants of the Burnley fans, deeply intoxicated.

Poborski took a certain risk when he arrived at Burnley a year ago, but Poborski now knows it has been a very successful season.George trusts himself so much that almost Burnley's offense revolves around him.Including Richard Brody and Darren Huckabee will surround Poborski in offense.Once Poborski picks up the ball, not only the midfielder Ballack and Danny Murphy are on the side to respond, but Huckabee in front will also pull to the side, just to open up space for Poborski.Poboski's 24 goals almost sacrificed the scoring ability of others.

Brighton, already low in morale, was completely disarmed and surrendered by Poborski's goal.

In the 203rd minute, Ballack received a header from Richard Brody and scored his No. 13 goal in the second division with a long shot.

In the constant cheers at Turfmore Stadium, Huckabee made another victory in the first half.Three to zero ended the first half.

In the second half, the team began to slow down. Now Brighton has no desires and desires, and they have all been relegated to the third division.If you provoke them to make black feet, the loss outweighs the gain.But Burnley was superior after all, and Poborski scored another goal in the second half.In the end, the game ended with four to zero.

George has been on the sidelines since the second half because he couldn't sit down. "Carl, what do you think of my performance this year?"

"George, listen to the cheers at the scene. Their cheers are the evaluation of your work for a year." Carl Pat pointed to the fans at the scene and said proudly. "George, your stage should not be in the Second Division and the First Division. You should go to Europe and conquer the European giants."

"Beep, beep, beep——" the referee was very knowledgeable, and he blew the whistle for the end of the game without making up a minute after the time was up.With the end of the whistle, the entire Turfmore Stadium burst into loud cheers again!

"We are going to the First Division, the First Division Burnley is here!!! Cheer, Burnley!!!! Tremble, the First Division!!!" The on-site commentator roared wildly, and Tefu The cheers of Moore fans intertwined.

George couldn't restrain the excitement in his heart, and hugged Carl next to him and the players on the bench one by one.

"Once again we have seen Burnley players throwing their manager high again. George is a young manager who conquered everyone in just one year. He became a hero of Burnley City. George has achieved great success in one year. Let us cheer for George, cheer for our young magician!!!" The live commentator burst out, and following his words, the fans once again began to sing loudly for George. song.

George was thrown high by the players, but he thought in his heart. "Success, that's the first step. I'm just getting started."
