Chapter 540 Decision
Burnley?
Speaking of Burnley, suddenly memories of more than ten years ago came to my mind.

Growing up in Burnley, George had a lot of connections at Burnley.But since coming to Blackburn, almost all of these relationships have been broken.

I remember that when I became a coach, it was to coach Burnley.

Spent two years in the Burnley youth team and three years as a first-team coach.Finally became the head coach of Burnley.

At Burnley, George stayed for 30 years.

George had been reluctant to think about it all these years.But that doesn't mean George has forgotten about it.It's just that George buried these memories deeply in his heart.Unexpectedly, the arrival of Brandon Flude this time reminded George of these things again.

George didn't like this feeling.

Because once emotions are involved, it will affect your own judgment.

Emotions can mess with George's sanity.

But there is no way.People are emotional animals, and George is also a layman.

The more ready to forget, the harder it is to forget.

I can't sleep at night.Tossing and turning, it is really difficult to decide.Miranda knew George's hesitation, but Miranda did not persuade George.From her point of view, of course, she hoped that George would push down all the job offers.

However, Miranda knew better that George was also affected by some external influences when it came to work decisions.But once he made up his mind, it was difficult for anyone to influence him.

And Burnley are different from other clubs.

Burnley has indelible memories of George and Miranda.

Miranda also misses life at Burnley.It's just that since he married George, he hasn't been back to Burnley for a long time.

Burnley and Blackburn are very close.

Although they are close at hand, the grievances between Blackburn and Burnley are always inseparable.

"George, what do you want me to do?"

Carl came to George's house shaking his head.

Since resigning with George, Carl has been living a leisurely life.Drink a little wine every day, or go out for a stroll.

George couldn't make up his mind.

The first thing that comes to mind, and the one to discuss, is his old partner Karl.

Karl, like George, has been at Burnley for a long time.And these years, George and Carl have partnered for 20 years.So how to decide, George wanted to ask Carl.

"Carl, Brandon Flude has been looking for me."

"Why do you want to invite you to coach?" Karl quickly guessed.

The chairman of a football club can think of anything with his toes when looking for a coach.

"Brandon is so funny, he dared to invite you. Hehe." Carl shook his head with a smile.If George hadn't said it himself, Karl would have taken him as a joke.Burnley invited George, no matter how you think about it, it is a ridiculous thing.

"what are you thinking?"

It was a laugh, but Carl quickly asked George.

If George didn't have the slightest hesitation, how could he find himself.Karl understood that George must not let Burnley go in his heart.

If it was someone else, George would have whitewashed it.But for his old partner, George was outspoken. "Carl, you should know that I am from Burnley. I grew up in Burnley. Although I was forced to leave Burnley and became the head coach of Blackburn. But Burnley, he is like a The thorn is firmly stuck in my heart."

"The situation in Burnley is critical now, and Brandon wants me to go to fight the fire. I am indeed a little moved. It can be regarded as helping Burnley before I leave the coaching position."

Hearing George's words, Carl nodded.

"However, you also know that after becoming successful and famous, you will take extra care of your feathers. I am no exception. I am a little afraid that I will lose it at the end of the year." George said with a smile.

"Hahaha."

Carl laughed. "If you let outsiders know that you, George, have such an idea, you must be laughing to death."

In fact, Karl already understood.

George basically agreed to coach Burnley in his heart.As for the worry he said, it is impossible to be a reason to stop George.So Karl said: "George, it's settled. This can be regarded as a completion. You started your coaching career at Burnley and ended at Burnley."

George heaved a long sigh.

"Carl, would you like to come with me?"

Carl just smiled.

…………

"Just half a year?"

Although Brandon Flude knew it was a bit presumptuous, he still gave George a two-year contract.But George changed two years to half a year.

George nodded. "It's only half a year. Mr. Flude, since I promised you, let me tell you the truth. My personal reason is that my health is very bad. The doctor advised me not to continue to be a coach, and I also have this idea."

"Actually, I decided not to accept invitations from any team in the summer. So I will only be a firefighting coach. Therefore, you should find your future head coach earlier."

George didn't hide his thoughts.

For Burnley, George can't let go.But George will definitely not be preparing to coach at Burnley for a long time.As long as this half year passes, George will quit his coaching career anyway.

"Your body?"

George has physical problems?Brandon hadn't heard of it at all.

"It's not a big deal. It's just the sequelae left by the car accident that year. So Mr. Flude, I will only be the head coach for half a year."

Brandon knew he had to.

"So Coach Levy, when will you officially coach the team?"

Now Burnley's performance is going from bad to worse.And Keane can no longer control the team's locker room.Brandon was a little anxious.

"Mr. Flood, don't worry. You have to give me time to prepare. I will blindly enter Burnley, and it is impossible to have any effect. So I need a little time."

When deciding things, George can be indecisive.But once the decision is made, George will be fully prepared.

half a year.

Burnley is now No.1 from the bottom and the most popular team for relegation.

During this period of time, George focused on observing Burnley now.Burnley's biggest problem now is that they can't control the ball.In other words, they play too blindly, so they know how to run blindly.When Keane was a player, he was one of the best midfielders in the world.

As a coach, I don't know the importance of controlling the ball.

Keane is too superstitious about the running ability of Burnley's young players.Keane wants to use non-stop running to take advantage of the field.It's a pity that Premier League players are all good at physical strength.Just running, there is not much advantage.

And these players are too young.

More than enough momentum, not enough calm.

And there are indeed some problems with the strength of the team.

To avoid relegation, the best way is of course signings.Brandon also agrees with signings. Once relegated, Burnley will lose too much.George has to get the transfer done within a few days so that he can avoid relegation for the rest of the game.

While George was busy preparing, the football reporters already smelled fishy.

In English football, news is fast.

George had just finished talking with Brandon, and it was reported by "News of the World" only a few days later.

"George, Burnley?"

"The most beautiful head coach in the summer is George Levy, who won the Champions League last season. Many European giants are vying to invite Coach Levy in the summer, but it is a pity that Coach Levy refused due to personal reasons. Now Coach Levy wants Accept Burnley's offer to become Burnley's manager."

"What the hell is George doing? What the hell is he going to do?"

After the report came out, it really shocked many people.

Their problem is simple.

Is that what George is doing?What are you doing?
Real Madrid invites you not to go!The highest salary in Manchester City football invites you not to go!Going to Burnley now?
George disappeared for half a year, just to give everyone such an answer.No matter how you look at it, this is too nonsense.

Everyone is baffled.

Of course, more people are seeking to verify the authenticity of the matter.

George himself hadn't thought it would be so soon.This matter should be relatively confidential, how could it be spread in such a short time.George disliked this the most.

But when things got to this point, George didn't hide it.After discussing with Brandon, they decided to jointly hold a press conference.

Seeing Brandon and George, all reporters understood.

After being stunned for a moment, the reporter began to ask questions in a hurry.

"Coach Levy, why did you choose Burnley?"

"Mr. Flude, how did you invite Coach Levi?"

"Coach Levi, how many years have you signed the contract?"

Since disappearing in front of the media in the summer, this is the first time that George has faced so many reporters.

When the reporter had finished asking, George slowly opened his mouth. "I returned to Burnley this time, not for long-term coaching. I just signed a short-term contract with Burnley for half a year, and the contract lasts until the end of this season."

"As soon as the season is over, I will automatically leave."

Brandon took George's words.

"Coach Levy signed a short-term contract. When he came to Burnley, his biggest task was the team's relegation. I would like to thank Coach Levy here for being able to come to the team when the team was in such a difficult time. Help Team relegation."

"I believe that under the leadership of Coach Levy, the club will be able to avoid relegation this season."

half a year?

Looking at the contract period, you can tell that it is a firefighting.

However, some of the reporters pouted.Relegation, is it that easy?Now Burnley is the bottom team in the Premier League. Does George really think he is a fairy?Hiddink, the world famous coach, took over Real Betis midway, but the difference is that he failed to prevent Real Betis from being relegated.

In the end, Hiddink's reputation was greatly damaged.If it weren't for his miraculous performances in South Korea, Eindhoven, and Australia, Hiddink would really be discredited.

Maybe this time it will be George's Waterloo.
