Chapter 46
After defeating Bolton, Burnley will usher in a devil's schedule.

First, we have to usher in the second round of the League Cup, but this time Burnley is lucky.They ran into York City in the English League Two, which was an easy opponent.

Starting from the tenth round of League One, Burnley will face Wolves, Portsmouth, Queens Park Rangers and Manchester City one after another.These four teams are the promotion favorites in League One this season.

When many comments commented on Burnley, if Burnley successfully passed the devil's schedule, then the road to promotion would be smooth sailing.But fail here, and it will likely be the turning point of the season.

George also attaches great importance to the games of this month or so, and George set his sights on the Premier League early.The hateful League Two and League One, George didn't want to stay for a minute.

Winning Bolton gave Burnley great morale. On September 9, Burnley challenged York City away.

This is the second round of the English League Cup. George rotated many people, even Ballack sat on the bench.And Mitchell and Kevin Phillips didn't even make the big list.

I am still very familiar with York City. Burnley played against York City twice last season.York City is a weak team in League Two. Although George is a half-main and half-substitute lineup, he still scored [-]-[-] against York City.Successfully advanced to the third round of the League Cup.

After that, Burnley went to Molineux Stadium non-stop to challenge Wolves, currently ranked second in League One.

As the head coach of a League One club, George has a deep understanding of the Wolves.After all, the Wolves have always been a strong team in the League One in recent years, and they are the favorites for promotion almost every year.

However, Burnley, which has won three consecutive victories and just beheaded Bolton in the league, won a clean [-]-[-] victory at the Molinex Stadium.Ljungberg, who was released by George and returned, performed bravely in this game.With the performance of one shot and one pass, he proved that he can completely replace the departing Poboski.

And George did not give the Wolves and the media any face at the press conference after the game. "Now there is a very bad phenomenon in English football. Before the game, it is usually necessary to compare the history. See whose history is more glorious, and then evaluate the winning odds of the two teams. I want to support this view. The so-called experts all have problems with their brains. I suggest that they go to the hospital for a comprehensive brain examination. If historical results are so important, what kind of football we play, why don't you show the history of your respective clubs and compare them to see who is better? Wouldn't it be better to judge who wins if they are brilliant?"

Before the game, many media used historical records to look forward to this game.It was quite funny for George to see, but George didn't speak.He waited until he was victorious before fighting them.

The history of the Wolves team is more brilliant than that of Burnley, especially after the 50s, the Wolves football club ushered in the highest peak after its establishment. , 1949 and 1954 years dominated the top league for three times.

This has always been the pride of the Wolves, and they screamed very fiercely before the game.In George's view, this reaction of the Wolves was a sign of a guilty conscience, and only a guilty conscience would be so hysterical.

"If a team lives in history every day, how can it develop? What is the background? For a team in the second-tier league, what's the use of having thirty top league champions. Only those Only a club without any goals will sing on the credit book every day."

George doesn't care what the media say afterwards, Burnley are now on the right track.With consecutive victories over the top two in League One, Burnley's performance has already attracted the attention of all the media.

…………

However, George's remarks were still criticized by the media.Because George's words pointed directly at those old English clubs.

In the current English leagues at all levels, the history is extremely glorious, but in reality there are many clubs that have declined.What these clubs can take comfort in is the glory they once had.

George denounced those clubs this time as a group of clubs without goals.How could this make those clubs not angry.

Criticism of George, a young coach, has been overwhelming. They accused George of not knowing how to respect the traditions of English clubs.

But it was this about the English that George couldn't stand the most.They seem to be living in Britain during the empire on which the sun never sets 200 years ago, and they always think highly of themselves.The British are so, and the British fans are even more so.Many clubs are already struggling in the lower leagues, so those fans are immersed in the club's previous glory every day.

George ignored the critics of him in the media, and he didn't care how they scolded him.As long as the Burnley fans can continue to support themselves, as long as they continue to win, no matter how fierce they are, they can do it.

On September 9, in the No.26 round of League One, Burnley waited for Portsmouth at home.Portsmouth are now fifth in League One, just one point behind Burnley.Amidst the media's condemnation of George, Burnley relied on Kevin Phillips' two goals to beat Portsmouth 11-[-].

On September 9, in the No.30 round of League One, Burnley played against Queens Rangers Park at home.Queens Rangers Park was a strong team that was relegated from the Premier League last season, and it is also a favorite team to be promoted to League One this season.It's a pity that after the start of this season, the results were mediocre.Now it is only ranked No.12 in the League One.

Burnley did not let go of this opportunity at home and beat QPR [-]-[-] cleanly.The goal conceded was a face-saving goal from Queens Rangers Park after youngsters Matthew Upson and Gary Breen combined in defence.

On October 10, No.6 in the League One, Burnley challenged Manchester City away.Manchester City is also a team that has just been relegated to the First Division. Manchester City performed well in the Premier League last season.At least they performed better than Bolton and Queens Park Rangers. Unfortunately, after reaching the First Division, they performed abnormally and are now only ranked No.13.

But the third game within ten days made the Burnley players a little tired.So George made a certain rotation and tied Manchester City [-]-[-] in the away game.

So far in the thirteen rounds, Burnley has achieved an excellent record of eight wins and five draws, ranking first in League One with 29 points.Bolton are second on Burnley with 27 points.

In the last five head-to-head games since Bolton, Burnley has won four and drawn one.Everyone has seen Burnley's outstanding strength, and the opponents Burnley will face next are almost all teams at the bottom of the First Division.

The media that had been condemning George ten days ago have now changed their views.It is said that Burnley led by George will definitely be promoted to the Super League this season.

…………

"Carl, do you know? I grew up in England, but I can't stand the nasty weather in England." George looked at the rain outside in disgust.

The rain in England is the kind that rains incessantly, almost half the time of the year.Although George has been in England for more than ten years, he is still not used to this nasty weather.

Karl Pater laughed. "George, you have the opportunity to coach Real Madrid or Barcelona. Then we can enjoy the sun and the beach."

"Stop talking, the taxi I ordered is here. Carl, would you like me to take you off?" In England, it is not possible to hail a taxi anytime and anywhere like in China.Because the gas price is too expensive, if you want to take a taxi, you can only call the taxi company or a familiar driver.

"No, you're not going to York's restaurant. I don't go the same way as you, so you go first."

George nodded and got into a taxi.It may be the reason for the rain on the street, there are very few people.But the rain has been very annoying and has been falling, and it has been falling.

"Drip..." "Squeak..." "Bang..."
