Chapter 54 The Return

"George, why Ashley was chosen instead of Danny Murphy. We played Danny Murphy, Neil Lennon, Michael, Carrell in midfield last season, didn't it work well? " Carl Pater sat on George's right and asked in a low voice.

George smiled and answered in a low voice.

"Carl, it's different after experiencing life and death. It's different from the perspective. Ashley was trained by me from the youth team. There are few people who can compare with me in terms of feelings, but Ashley has always been too thin. I don’t know what will happen in other leagues, but it won’t work in England.” The current Burnley youth team basically has players who have been trained by George and Karl Parter.Daniel Morrison and Ashley Chapman are some of the best.

"So I have always felt sorry for Ashley, but I was unwilling to use him. But after life and death, I have thought a lot in the past few months. There are no useless players, only incompetent coaches. Although Ashley is physically Average, but excellent technique. Although he can't be a top winger, he can disrupt the opponent's defense as a surprise player."

Although George just said it casually, Karl Pat next to him nodded very seriously.

Although Karl Pat is slightly older than George, and entered Burnley a few years earlier than George.But I admire George from the bottom of my heart, and I am willing to help George.

Early on, Carl felt that George would be successful.As long as you have the opportunity, you will be able to soar into the sky.Hearing George's words today, my trust in George went one step further. "There are no useless players, only useless coaches." In this way, several coaches can understand.

What Karl didn't know was that George put Ashley Chapman on the court just to return to the traditional 4-4-2.George has already planned a tactic that will fly with both wings in the new season.

…………

Port Vale is going to score three points in this game. George doesn't know if coach Port Vale has a problem with his head.The Burnley club has always started with defense. George swept the second division by relying on solid defense and counterattack.Especially Ballack's precise long pass and Poborski's side attack.

In the First Division, Ballack's offensive ability was sacrificed, which made Burnley's defense even thicker.Although some things happened some time ago, so I conceded a lot of goals.But it doesn't mean that Burnley's defensive system is really messed up.

Port Vale could only be smashed in the face of Burnley's defense.

No. 301 minutes, Ballack steals the ball in midfield and immediately makes a long pass to the right.Ljungberg cuts in at high speed and gets the ball.Facing the opponent's defender, it was just a very simple shaking that knocked the defender out.Then take the ball directly and drive straight into the opponent's penalty area.Crossing into the penalty area, Kevin Phillips found the position of the ball very smartly, and with a light shot, the ball rolled into the goal.

"Ljungberg! Ljungberg got the ball, he swung past the defender. Ljungberg was so fast, no one could catch Ljungberg. He passed the ball, who got the ball. Kevin Philippe S, shot, beautiful, scored. Kevin Phillips, he scored."

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!!!!!!!" The on-site commentator seemed to be crazy, talking suddenly.He hasn't been this crazy for a long time, because Burnley has only won two games at home in the past six months. "Kevin Phillips, this is his No.11 goal in League One. Burnley's second scorer."

When Ljungberg charged forward with the ball, the fans at Turf Moor Stadium had already stood up.The moment Kevin Phillips scored, everyone was yelling and bouncing.The audience cheered loudly, such a scene has not been staged at Turf Moor Stadium for half a year.

However, George sat on the coach's bench without moving his eyelids, and Port Vale was not in George's eyes at all.Burnley should not regard a team like Port Vale as an opponent of the same level.

It was not until the celebration was over that George stood up.Slowly walked to the side of the field and shouted: "If you score a goal, you will be happy. One goal is worth your happiness."

The fans who were celebrating just now, seeing George's appearance, all silenced.Therefore, what George said turned out to echo in the stadium like shouting at home.Everyone in Port Vale's bench could hear it clearly, and Port Vale's coach was furious when he heard this sentence.

But there is no way, Burnley's strength obviously surpasses Port Vale.In the No. 403 minute, Mitchell received a corner kick and scored with a header.The score became two to zero.

At this time George stood up from the coach's bench and walked to the sidelines to applaud.Then he turned and greeted the fans in the stands with open arms.

The two goals ignited all the passionate fans. After seeing George, the fans immediately cheered in unison. "George! George! George!" Although the first half was not over yet, the stands of Turfmore Stadium trembled amid the cheers of Burnley fans.

All the reporters felt George's influence at Burnley, and at that moment even the players on the field looked towards the bench.

"Hehe, I'm so jealous of George. Look, I scored the goal. It looks like George scored instead." Mitchell, who celebrated the goal, shook his head and said to Miller with a wry smile.

"Mitchell, but George is doing pretty well, isn't he?"

"Yeah, Miller. You know what? After seeing George, I suddenly feel confident about the future of Burnley."

After two to zero, the game is over.Burnley continued their efforts in the second half, with Kevin Phillips taking advantage of a Port Vale defender's error to score the second.In the end, Burnley defeated Port Vale 8-[-] at home, allowing Port Vale to slip from No.[-] to eleventh.

Facing the reporter after the game, George said triumphantly: "I'm back, Burnley is back. Port Vale is the first, who will be next?"

It was soon revealed that the second team that was pulled down by Burnley, Birmingham, ranked seventh in the No.40 four-round league, played against Burnley at home.George was not polite either, and ping-pong-pong poured four balls into Birmingham.

Birmingham is now fighting to qualify for the play-offs, and did not expect to be defeated by Burnley at the most important moment.The ranking dropped by two places, to No.9.More importantly, from No.3 to No.8, the points bite tightly.Birmingham is only one point behind No.6 Crystal Palace, but this time Birmingham was poured four goals at once, and the gap widened to four points.With two league rounds left, the road to promotion is far away.

Birmingham fans, who were already quite angry, were furious when they heard George's words after the game.George said at the press conference, "If you want to upgrade, ask us Burnley first."

"After George returned to work, two consecutive games made the two teams disqualified for promotion. I believe that for a long time, fans of Port Vale and Birmingham will remember George as a young coach who shattered their dreams .”
