coach legend

Chapter 43 I will wait and see

Ljungberg lay in the apartment rented to him by the club, staring blankly at the ceiling.Mitchell's words still had a great impact on Ljungberg.

At the beginning, Ljungberg really felt that he was worth 80 pounds, and George would definitely not do anything to him.And Ljungberg also felt that George didn't understand his football at all, and he didn't have much qualifications to teach himself how to play football.

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

Until today, after hearing what Mitchell said, Ljungberg could no longer sit still.

If it is true that George blocked himself as Mitchell said, neither allowing himself to transfer nor allowing himself to play, then he will really be abolished.In four years, there can be several four years for players.Not to mention four years, how many years does a player have in his professional life.

Ljungberg suddenly felt helpless, and could only apologize to George for his own future.

Ljungberg let out a long sigh of relief, thinking of apologizing to George, his heart suddenly calmed down.Starting to look back on some things after the transfer to Burnley.

Ljungberg remembered what George began to say to himself during the warm-up match, and what George warned himself in the first game.I used to look down on George, a young coach, and Burnley, a League One recruit.So I felt that what George said was nonsense, and later he deliberately targeted himself.

But when he decided to apologize, Ljungberg found his heart calmed down.That's how people are. When they don't like it, no matter how they think about it, they feel that the other party is deliberately targeting themselves.But once you calm down, if you think about it carefully, there will be another answer.

Looking back now, George has emphasized the role of the team many times.I corrected my way of playing football many times, but I didn't listen to it once.When you think about it, George gave himself many chances.But every time I didn't take George's words to heart.

And in the first game, when he was changing the field, he passed by George, took off his shirt and threw it on the ground.And without waiting for others, he directly entered the locker room.Such a move is a provocation for 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 Nordahl's photo, tell everyone "I want to be a world-class player like Nordahl".The response was their derision.

On September 1995, 9, Nordahl 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 said such a wish, but I still got the same ridicule as before.

But Ljungberg was not discouraged, because Ljungberg was very confident in himself.In order to be able to join the giants, he traveled across the ocean and came to England.Ljungberg didn't want to go back in such a disheartened way, he wanted to prove to everyone that he was not a braggart.

…………

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

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

It wasn't until Ljungberg got awkward that he realized that Burnley's current wing is so fragile.

George is now working with Evan Sawyer on the opponent for the next fight.Because the next game is the real test for Burnley, who have not played against the top six teams in League One so far.

And the next game is to play against Bolton, who is currently ranked first in the League One.

"Dong dong dong" someone knocked lightly on the door of George's office.

"Come in."

George didn't look up, but stared at the pictures of Bolton's games.But the person who came in kept silent, so he looked up suspiciously.

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

"Frederick, sit down. What's the matter?" George's tone was a little blunt. George's mood is not very good these days.Now facing Bolton, George's head is very painful now.

Ljungberg didn't sit down, he was a little shy, not like usual.

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

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

"Yes." George nodded.

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

Although it was an apology, his attitude was still rigid.George was already happy in his heart, as long as he apologized, it would be better than anything else.But of course it can't be shown, so George's face is 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 in you at the most expensive transfer price in the club's history. Why do you think it is? You don't really think that our club has a lot of money and doesn't care about 80 pounds, right?"

Ljungberg 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 cannot succeed. No matter how strong you are, People who don't know how to cooperate will never succeed." George said this to Ljungberg many times, but Ljungberg never remembered it in his heart.

But today, on a different occasion and a different mood, Ljungberg listened.I used to think that George's nagging was aimed at me, but today it sounds like George has very good expectations for me.

"Yes, head." This is the first time Ljungberg has such a correct attitude since he came to Burnley.

Judging by Ljungberg's attitude, although George didn't know it was a show, it was from the heart.But with this attitude alone, George is already very satisfied.

"Frederick, I want to tell you. I like to win, I pursue winning. But the team I build, the most important thing is the whole. A team can have a core, it can have stars, but they can't override Above the team. As long as they are on the field, the eleven people must trust each other and rely on each other to make the team a whole. Only in this way can the highest strength of the team be played." George paused, seeing Yong Bei Li listened to his own words very seriously, so he nodded.

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

Ljungberg suddenly looked up at George. "Head, I am willing to give it a try."

"Okay, Frederick. I'll see."
